The Android P public beta has been out for a week or two. I've been playing with it, you've been playing with it, and you already know that there is a bunch of gestures that you use to get around the OS. But here's a question, is swiping really that much better than just pushing a button? I'm not gonna at the end of this video come down, they're the best, they're great, you should love them, or no, they suck, they're terrible. There's plenty of articles about that. Instead, I wanna look at why I think Google decided to go with gestures and swiping instead of just tapping buttons on the bottom. These gestures are important, honestly, because they just feel different. And I know that's really floofy and soft and whatever, but your affective relationship with the phone changes when you are swiping around instead of just tapping a button. And for Android in particular, that tactility, that tangible direct interaction, is part of the philosophy of the design of the operating system. For a few years now, we've had this thing called material design, and the stuff on your screen should be sort of like magic paper that you slide around and move, and there's something sitting on top of the other thing. And by switching to this gesture system, you start moving that paper around instead of tapping a button and having it move itself. And that just feels more direct, it feels more, like I said before, human. When I say it's more human, I mean that kind of literally. When you move something around in the physical world, you're actually moving a thing through space, and your brain thinks spatially in a lot of ways. When you tap an icon, it's like an if this, then that sort of programmatic thing that just happens. But when you actually move a card or move a piece of UI on the screen, it feels to your lizard monkey brain like you're moving a thing on a table. And it just feels a little bit more natural and a little bit easier to understand in this intuitive sense, even though I hate the word intuitive in UI, but we can come back to that in a whole other video. Before we get too deep into this, there are a couple of caveats that are actually really important to mention. So the first is I'm testing this on a Pixel 2 XL, and so what we see here might be slightly different than what you see on other Android phones when it's eventually released. Number two, this beta's not that good. It's kind of hard to show on camera, but you know it when you feel it. It's some combination of animation speed and physics. On this beta, it just feels off. It's not even as good as what I experienced when I used it on Google's campus the week before I owe. That might've been a different build, I'm not sure. Anyway, enough caveats, let's get into it. If we're talking major new functionality with these gestures, on the Pixel, I think there's two that are really important. When you have an app open, you have one gesture access to a really important thing in the overview screen. When you swipe up real quick, you have these predictive apps at the bottom, which are really accurate. I use them all the time now. And you also get the Google search bar, which is a big deal. You just swipe up tap, and then you can keep typing, and you'll get something that you want. And in Android P, it's actually way more powerful with those actions and slices. And so you don't have to think about where that search bar is. You can just start typing, and you'll end up with what you want way faster than before. Now, if you're an Android person, I know what you're thinking. Yo, Dieter, the square button does that just fine in the beta, you don't need the swipe to do that. You're not wrong, you're totally right. But there are some other reasons that this gesture interface is more efficient. The first is you can just fat finger it. You don't have to hit the home button exactly. You can swipe up from pretty much anywhere at the bottom of the screen to get to this, you know, new overview screen or the new gestures. The second thing is no matter what app you're in, you can swipe all the way up, and you'll get to your full app drawer. So you have instant access to all of your apps instead of hitting home, then swiping up for the app drawer. It saves you a step. And then third, most importantly, there's this lozenge home button thing, and you can just swipe it over to the right to switch to your last app, same as double tapping the square button. Or you can drag it over and kind of jam through in a little scrolling action in your recent apps, and then let go to jump to an earlier app. It doesn't have to be the last one. It can be like the one you used three or four apps ago, and it's a much faster way to get to those. So that's my basic overview of why I think gestures in Android P could be better than what we had before. But we should talk about the elephant in the room, and that elephant is named iPhone X. So the big question here with the iPhone X is did Android P just steal all the gestures from the iPhone? And I have to admit, there are some similarities. So you swipe up to get to the overview screen, and you can just sort of swipe over to the right on the bottom to switch between recent apps, and that's very, very similar. But there are some differences. The first, the thing I haven't really mentioned yet, is on Android P, you tap the home button to go home, and so they're mixing metaphors, whereas the iPhone is a little bit more consistent. The other thing is that Android has more spaces. It has an app drawer in addition to a home screen, whereas the iPhone just has a home screen. So I don't think it's fair to say they exactly stole this from the iPhone X. If we're gonna talk about stealing gestures and swipes, we should really talk about this other phone, the Palm Pre. So I know you've been waiting for it for the moment when Dieter talks about WebOS and the Palm Pre. Well, fans, mobile accomplishers, here it is. I'm gonna talk about WebOS again. So look, there's a lot of stuff that WebOS did that's very similar to what Android does and what the iPhone X does. You swipe up to go to a multitasking screen. You swipe up again to go to all of your apps. You can, from this overview screen, just start typing and do a search, just like you can on Android P. There's a lot of stuff that's very, very similar and that's just borrowed. But there's stuff that was different on WebOS that we don't see here at all. So WebOS is really into this idea of cards and they would be grouped together and they'd be organized spatially instead of just most recently. And there's some benefits to that, but also some drawbacks and we don't need to get into all of that. To me, the point is that they're just borrowing ideas from each other. And I don't think it's really stealing. It's just that there are certain tools in UI and you pick some and you try and make them your own. And in particular, I just think that swiping is kind of a trend and user interface goes through trends. It changes over time and people borrow from each other and that's not the end of the world. All right, so having looked at WebOS, miss you buddy, and the iPhone X, what do we think about gestures on Android P? Well, there's two things that everybody's really talking about. One I don't care about, one I'm super worried about. The thing I don't care that much about is the mixing of metaphors. I get that you still have to tap the home button. I get the back button still shows up, but you know what? We're not building a Zen garden here. We're making a functional phone OS and we're smart people and we can figure that out. So that's not the problem. The real thing that's gonna be troubling is they have to nail the animation and the smoothness because if you're swiping around and moving stuff and it feels janky, literally one of the description of the beta on Google's own webpage is that there's a lot of jank. If it feels janky, this thing is going to fail massively. They have to get it right and there's no in between. Either it's gonna be a disaster or it's gonna be actually a really surprisingly cool success because there is that extra functionality that I've been talking about. So that's it. I think the gestures could be great. I can't make a final judgment yet, but the bottom line is they have to nail the feel of it. But if they do pull it off, it's gonna feel great. Hey everybody, thank you so much for watching. I wanna know how would you set up gestures on Android if you could just do whatever you wanted? Let me know in the comments and then head over to this video by Eater. It's the Kitchen Gadget Show and I actually really love it. They just did an episode on whether or not the Instant Pot is worth it. You should check it out.

Hey, this is Dan with The Verge, and this is the new HTC U12 Plus. It's the successor to last year's U11 and U11 Plus that were available in other parts of the world, and it's the company's 2018 flagship smartphone. Now, a lot of things are very similar to the U11 in terms of design and features, but there's definitely some more modern upgrades here. Starting with the screen, you can see it's a bigger screen than before. It's now a six-inch panel. It's a very high-resolution QHD+, and it's a Super LCD 6 panel instead of AMOLED that we're seeing on other devices, but it does have HDR10 support. Now, in the process of adding that bigger screen, HTC did make the bezels on the U12 Plus smaller above and below, and then also on the sides, so the U12 Plus is actually a little bit narrower than last year's U11, which makes it a little bit easier to hold. And the obvious change here is that the fingerprint sensor is now on the back. It's just below the camera, but it's right under where your finger would land as opposed to on the front. In terms of design, it's very similar to last year's phone. It still has HTC's liquid metal type of design, which uses curved glass and these very reflective finishes with a metal frame. It's available in three different colors. There's a translucent blue and a black available in the US, and then there's this flame red color that will be coming to other markets across the world. All of them are very premium, very pretty. They really feel nice and well-built, as you kind of would've expected from a HTC phone at this point. A couple other different features on the hardware as well. Now, there's still HTC's Edge Sense technology, which means that you can squeeze the phone to do different things. I can squeeze to turn on the flashlight here. You can set it to whatever things you want. You can set it to launch the assistant or launch a camera or launch an app or anything like that. That hasn't changed too much from last year's phone, but one new feature is ability to double tap. So you can double tap it to set different things. Right now, this brings up some buttons on the screen, but you can set it to open an app or change the screen size and things like that. And then the buttons here on the side, the power and volume rocker, are not actual buttons in the sense that you're used to. They don't really depress when you press them. Instead, you get a little buzz when you click the button, which feels weird at first, but it's kind of neat. It uses the same kind of underlying technology. That's the pressure sensitivity on the sides, but it's applied to the buttons here, so that's a little different. On the bottom, you've got a USB-C charger. There's no headphone jack. Not a huge surprise there. There wasn't a headphone jack last year, so unfortunately, there's not one this year, but HTC does bundle its Usonic headphones in the box, so you get those with the phone when you buy it. And it does have dual speakers, so there's speaker on the bottom, as well as speaker on the top for pretty loud and vibrant sound. Inside, the U12 Plus has a Snapdragon 845 processor, six gigabytes of RAM, and it comes in 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage. Both of them support micro SD card expansion as well. And then, of course, like last year, it is IP68 water resistant. Now, the other big new thing here is that it's got dual cameras, and not just on the back like we've seen on a lot of phones lately, but also on the front. So on the back, there's two cameras. There's a 12 megapixel sensor on the wide angle camera, and then a 16 megapixel sensor on the telephoto camera, and that lets you do the standard portrait mode blurring bokeh effect type of things. And then on the front, there's two eight megapixel sensors here that allow you to do those things for your selfies as well. One thing that is unique is HTC's software lets you actually adjust the effect of the bokeh after the fact, and then you can also change the focus point around, which is kind of a unique feature that we haven't seen before. The U12 Plus is launching with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box. It will be updated to Android P at some point later this year, but there's no timing yet for that. It's running HTC Sense interface, which if you've been using it for the past couple of years, you know that it's pretty similar to what Google provides on its Pixel phones, but not exactly. It's still, it's a very clean, easy to use version of Android. There's really little to complain about with Android on HTC phones at this point. Now, HTC has been building premium phones for years, and the U12 is really no different. It feels great when you hold it. It's got really nice tight tolerances. The materials are really nice, and it's also, because it's a little bit narrower, it's actually a little easier to hold. It'd be nice if it had wireless charging, but unfortunately that's not available this year, but it does have quick charging over USB through Quick Charge 3 or Quick Charge 4 if you have a compatible charger. Now, with that premium feel comes a premium price, and this is gonna be priced pretty much in the same range as other premium Android smartphones that you can buy right now, and HTC is not gonna be selling this through carriers, but you will be able to get it through htc.com or amazon.com, and it's gonna support Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile. And pre-orders actually start today. It's gonna be shipping in the beginning of next month. For more on the HTC U12, including our forthcoming review, where we'll take a look at all of these features in more detail, please check out theverge.com as well as subscribe at youtube.com slash The Verge.

Today, Mark Zuckerberg finally appeared before the European Parliament to testify about Facebook's impact on society, from data privacy to elections. But the format was different from what most American viewers are probably used to. Instead of a back and forth between Zuckerberg and the politicians, all the members of the parliament asked their questions first. Zuckerberg took notes, and at the end of the meeting he picked out the questions he wanted to respond to. Then he promised he'd get back to the group with the rest. The entire thing was a little frustrating even to the legislators, and eventually dissolved into a mess. I asked you six yes and no questions, I got not a single answer. So thank you again for inviting me. I think there was one question raised by Guy Verhofstadt and that's linked to my question. The problem is the timing. Okay, I'll make sure we follow up and get you answers to those. Despite that, the European legislators asked some pretty good questions and weren't afraid to be a little aggressive. You have to ask yourself how you will be remembered as one of the three big internet giants, together with Steve Jobs I should say, and Bill Gates, who have enriched our world and our societies. Or on the other hand, in fact the genius who created a digital monster that is destroying our democracies and our societies for the moment. I'm asking you today very, very clearly that would you accept that today Facebook is not a platform for all ideas that is operated impartially. The most pressing question Zuckerberg faced was whether Facebook was a monopoly. During last month's congressional hearings, Senator Lindsey Graham asked whether Zuckerberg could name a competitor to Facebook. And a couple of European legislators brought that issue up again, but with a more pointed threat attached. Would you consider your company as a monopoly? I think it is time to discuss breaking Facebook monopoly because it's already too much power in only one hand. Can you convince me not to do so? You cannot convince him because it's nonsense actually. You have been given the example of Twitter, you have given the example I think also of Google as some of your competitors, but it's like somebody who has a monopoly in making cars is saying, look, I have a monopoly making cars, but there is no problem. You can take a plane, you can take a train. When it came time to answer, Zuckerberg said that he didn't think that was true at all and generally dismissed the concern. We exist in a very competitive space where people use a lot of different tools for communication. The average person uses about eight different tools for communication ranging from all sorts of private messaging up to more broadcast mediums to things where they're communicating with groups of people and all their friends at once. So from where I sit, it feels like there are new competitors coming up every day. There are competitors that reach tens and hundreds of millions of people and we're constantly needing to evolve our service in order to stay relevant and serve people well. So that feels like it's a competitive environment where there are many choices that people have. A number of politicians suggested that even if it isn't time to break up a monopoly, Facebook needs to be aggressively regulated. Are you ready to completely comply with the new regulation in Europe within the next three days? When you said that the regulation would be implemented in spirit, what does that mean exactly? In response, Zuckerberg offered what's become a canned reply. I don't think the question here is whether or not there should be regulation. I think the question is what is the right regulation? But so far, these right regulations remain elusive. And as one legislator pointed out early in the hearing, self-regulation has not worked well in the past. It's a little bit like with the banks in 2006, 2007, 2008. They said also, now we're going to do self-regulation. Don't bother. No, no, we're going to do it ourselves. The reality is that they didn't do it themselves and it was needed to have tough regulation. Then there was the question of how Facebook stores data, especially of people who aren't even on Facebook, otherwise known as their shadow profiles. How can non-users stop Facebook collecting their data? And what do you do with the non-Facebook's data? Do you commercialize it? And given you do that, is it morally acceptable, do you think in your opinion, to collect non-Facebook users' data without them knowing what you do with it? And Zuckerberg nearly concluded without even mentioning these. Is there anything else here? Shadow profiles. Shadow profiles. Shadow profiles. He didn't seem to want to talk about shadow profiles at all and changed the subject pretty quickly. If you're not a Facebook user, how do you stop that data being transferred? On a security side, we think it's important to keep it to protect people in our community. Were there any other themes that we want to get through? These hearings are happening largely because people are worried about election meddling on Facebook, whether through fake news propaganda or through Cambridge Analytica's data siphoning. This wasn't lost on legislators. Will Facebook commit to one, eradicate all remaining fake accounts by the end of the quarter and b, systematically prevent the creation of new ones moving forward? Zuckerberg's continued to say there's no quick fix to this problem. We'll never be perfect on this. Our adversaries, especially on the election side, people who are trying to interfere, will have access to some of the same AI tools that we will. But that's a pretty obvious statement. The details are what matter, and Facebook is still just talking up its two favorite weapons, moderators and AI. The game plan is a combination of building more AI tools to identify fake accounts that are trying to interfere and take them down, like we did in the French presidential election. But our vision for how we should manage the system is going to move from one of reactive management as people in our community flag things to one where we're more proactively having systems look at the content, flag things for tens of thousands of people to review, and we're already making significant progress in doing that. And there were a lot of other questions which were never answered. These included broad questions about whether Facebook can really keep people's data safe after Cambridge Analytica. Is Cambridge Analytica an isolated case, or would you say it's the top of the iceberg? But also extremely specific ones about how quickly Facebook scrubs data that a user asks to be deleted. If people want to come off Facebook, how quickly and under what conditions will their data be fully removed? Or whether Facebook would work with antitrust regulators to prove it's not a monopoly. Could you or would you cooperate with the European antitrust authorities to examine it and to open your books so that we can see if yes or no there is a monopoly? Zuckerberg promised to give written answers to all these questions, but that's the same line he used during the US congressional hearings. We don't know when the answers will come, how thorough they'll be, or if Zuckerberg will give a straight answer to the toughest demands. Can you guarantee that this is Europeans that another scandal will not happen in three, six or nine months time? It's the only way of preventing Facebook collecting my data to avoid the internet altogether. And after watching legislators ask good, difficult questions about Facebook, that feels like a huge wasted opportunity. Is Facebook really taking its responsibilities more seriously? Will lawmakers start trying to regulate it? Or will we just keep hearing this same speech over and over? So the fact that maybe you have less control or no control about your own company for the moment because you have to apologize now. I think in total, you apologize now 15 or 16 times the last decade. In 2003, you started. Every year you have one or other wrongdoing or problem with Facebook and you have to face the reality and to say sorry and to say that you're going to fix it. Are you capable to fix it?

This is LG's new G7 ThinQ. And while that name is absolutely awful, this phone itself is actually really important. It's kind of a restart for the company. LG has said that going forward, it's not just going to release phones just because Samsung is putting out phones at the same time. Instead, LG is going to take more time and make its new hardware count. The G7 is the first product designed under that new philosophy. It's got a notch, good cameras, and some AI smarts. But ultimately, the G7 isn't as good as it could have been, or needed to be, to truly compete. The G7's overall design has a lot in common with last year's V30. There's glass on both sides, curved edges, and a nice refined look. It's IP68 water resistant, and there's an actual power button on the side this time, so the fingerprint sensor around back doesn't push in anymore. There's also a dedicated Google Assistant key, which I have found way more helpful and more convenient than Samsung's Bixby button. You can press it to bring up Assistant, or hold it down to open Google Lens and learn about the things around you. Now, I still really wish I could remap this button to do whatever I want, but just like Samsung, LG's not letting you do that...yet. We've asked, and it sounds like it's a possibility for the future. The front is dominated by a 6.1 inch IPS LCD display, and it's got a resolution of 3120 by 1440. Now, it doesn't have the same perfect blacks and contrasts as OLED, but the LCD screen is colorful, it's crisp, and it's easy to read even in direct sunlight. There's a special super bright mode that cranks brightness all the way up to 1000 nits for a few minutes. Overall, I have no complaints about this display whatsoever. But I don't love that notch. See, this phone looks a lot like the iPhone X, but on the iPhone X, that notch houses Apple's Face ID system, and there's nothing that fancy or sophisticated on the LG. Sure, you get a little bit more screen by pushing your notifications to the corners, but that's really the only upside I've seen. Now, if the notch really bugs you, LG lets you change the top of the screen to black, or other colors if you want, to kind of hide it. That's fine. But all of this just makes me wonder why this phone has a notch to begin with. Around back, LG is staying on brand and sticking to its familiar dual camera setup. That combines a primary f1.6 aperture camera with a secondary super wide lens that's got a 107 degree field of view and f1.9 aperture. Now, that's not quite as all-encompassing as some of LG's previous super wide lenses, but I'm still a huge fan of the creative flexibility you get with this combo. I just find myself using that wide perspective more often than I would a portrait lens or some gimmicky monochrome black and white sensor. Huawei now puts three cameras on its phones, but none of them give you this view. Now, when it comes to overall picture quality, these cameras are good, but don't measure up to the Pixel 2, Galaxy S9, Huawei P20 Pro, or iPhone X in terms of detail and image processing. But for the first time in years, LG's front-facing camera is finally decent. The 8 megapixel sensor produces selfies with good sharpness and nice, even exposure. But the thing is, all this thin-Q AI camera stuff that LG's been hyping is pretty mediocre. When you open the camera app, you can tap the AI cam icon, and the camera is going to analyze what's in the frame. It'll try to figure out what you're pointed at. Is it a flower? Is it an animal? And when it knows, it'll try to make adjustments so you get the best possible picture. That might mean adjusting settings like contrast or color balance or saturation. It'll boost blues in the sky, make flowers more vibrant, and try to make the food you're shooting look a bit more appetizing. In these straightforward examples, the AI can help snap a decent photo without making you adjust settings yourself. But the AI's guesses at what the camera is pointed at are often bad and wrong. You'll focus on various subjects, and you'll see words flash on the screen to show what the AI thinks that it recognizes. So it might correctly identify a dog, for example, but then you'll see a stream of unrelated, very dumb suggestions appear alongside the right one. And when that happens, you'll wonder if the LG is making bad decisions that could make your image worse and not better. So for most cases, just use standard auto mode or manual if you want full control. LG is also known for best-in-class sound, so the G7 retains the headphone jack and quad DAC of its predecessors. And those give you amazing audio if you've got the right hi-fi headphones. New this year is support for DTS-X 3D surround sound, which is aimed less at audiophiles, and more at people who just want their Netflix to feel more immersive. So the G7 doesn't have stereo speakers, but LG put a lot of work into the single one on the bottom. It's called a boombox speaker, and it's designed to use the inside of the phone as a kind of resonance chamber so your music can get super loud. You can feel every bass note and drum beat vibrate the phone in your hand as you use it, which is kind of neat, though it does make the G7 feel a bit hollow inside. Now, LG says the boombox speaker sounds best placed down on a table, and that's true. It's way louder than most other phones today, but a single speaker only takes you so far, and it's very easy to cover up with your hand by accident. Day-to-day, the G7 is fast and a great performer thanks to the Snapdragon 845 processor and 4GB of RAM inside. You also get 64GB of storage, plus a microSD card slot if you need more room. But LG's own software is still a weak point for the G7. As just one example, every time you download a new app, you've got to re-sort the app launcher to keep things in alphabetical order. Every single time. So I think LG either needs to try harder at software, or just make the change to stock Android. Now, the G7 runs Android Oreo out of the box, and LG is promising it's going to do a better job at software updates this year. We know how this works. I'll believe it when I see it. But Android P is optimized for this new wave of phones that have these notches, so hopefully once that's available, LG gets it out fast. Now, I found battery life to be somewhat disappointing during my testing. The G7's 3000 mAh battery is smaller than last year's LG phones, and many of today's flagships. Especially for phones that have screens that are this big. If you're using the phone a lot, you're going to have to find more power at some point in the day. That's just the truth of it. The bundled charger does juice up the G7 very fast, and it supports both wireless charging standards. But neither of those things really makes up for having a small battery to start with. So if LG was hoping to blaze some new path and revitalize its mobile business with the G7 ThinQ, I don't think this is going to get the job done. The trouble really starts with that god-awful name. There are people who will buy this phone no matter what, and that's because of its fun camera and amazing audio. They'll be happy. But this isn't some grand reinvention of LG's phones. I'd say the G7 is pretty iterative, and it looks a lot like an iPhone. So when you stack the G7 up against 2018's best smartphone contenders, it's hard to find one feature or standout thing that will make this device a surefire hit. No, it's not a $1,000 phone like the iPhone X, but it's not much cheaper either. So it might very well have the same fate as its predecessors and send LG back to the drawing board again. Hey, thanks so much for watching. Be sure to check out our new YouTube channel, Verge Science. A lot of people worked very hard to make this happen, and it's full of awesome videos. So check it out.

This is the OnePlus 6. It's the latest in a line of Android phones that have steadily gotten better year over year. Now before we get into this, we see you guys have been commenting, we know you've been asking for it for a long time, so we're shooting this in 4k. So if you want the best video quality, maybe bump your resolution up to 4k. Cool? Okay, so if you're familiar with OnePlus, then most of what comes with the OnePlus 6 is probably a known quantity. But if you're not, here's what that quantity is. A OnePlus phone has high-end specs, a big screen, a clean Android software experience, and it comes with a price that's considerably less than other high-end Android phones with similar specs and features. Now nothing about that changes with the OnePlus 6, but it also means on the other side of the coin that nothing changes about the other things that are known quantities with a OnePlus either. It still isn't going to work with Verizon or Sprint, it still doesn't have the best camera you can get, and it's still not completely water resistant. Overall, the OnePlus 6 is a lot like the last few OnePlus phones. It offers a great experience for a price that's hundreds of dollars less than a similar size Samsung or Pixel. Here's the headline info you're looking for. For a starting price of $529, you get a 6.3 inch edge-to-edge screen, a Snapdragon 845 processor, a glass and metal design, extremely fast fast charging, 6 gigabytes of RAM, and 64 gigs of storage, Android 8.1 with some thoughtful, not annoying additions, and a dual camera system that's capable of all the latest portrait effects and slow motion video trends. You can also spend more to upgrade the RAM and storage, but you'll still be spending substantially less than you would on say a Pixel 2 XL. Now the most noticeable change from older OnePlus phones is a switch to a design with glass on the front and the back, which makes the OnePlus 6 look like basically every other phone to come out this year. Now I think it looks great until I touch it and then it becomes a fingerprint magnet, especially on the glossy version. There's a matte finish model that looks much nicer looking and helps hide those fingerprints, but at the same time it's much more slippery to hold than the already pretty slippery glossy phone, which might lead to a shattered glass phone sooner rather than later. Then the other big change is the screen is even larger than the 6 inch display on OnePlus's last phone. Now that's mostly because the screen now reaches the very top of the phone's frame, except for a cutout in the middle that houses the earpiece, front camera, proximity sensor, and notification light. So yeah, it has a notch, but frankly I don't really care and I don't have a problem with it. The notch means that I have more vertical space to read something on my phone, whether that's email or messages or tweets or use split screen multitasking or whatever else I want to do with the phone. And OnePlus is able to make this bigger screen fit in here without making the phone any bigger than it was last year, which means that I get more screen in the same size phone. That's a trade-off I'm willing to make any day of the week. Now there are a couple of things to be aware of with the OnePlus 6's notch. I've yet to encounter an app that didn't work as I expected because of it being there, but it does mean that the battery percentage is hidden until you swipe down to see your notifications. It also means that if you have a lot of icons for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, NFC, or whatever, it can get pretty crowded pretty quickly up there. But OnePlus does let you toggle a lot of these off if you don't want them to display. And if you really hate that full-bleed look, you can opt to black out the background of the notch so all of your apps just fill out just below it. Honestly, I think this mode looks worse and I've never really felt the need to obscure the notch's existence. Now other than its larger size, this year's panel isn't much different than before. It's 1080p pixels wide, it's OLED, it's got deep colors and vibrant blacks, it doesn't get as bright and it doesn't have as many pixels as a Samsung screen, but it's still easy to read outdoors and I haven't seen any major color shifting problems or issues. Now handling the OnePlus 6 is a lot like holding other similar sized, mostly glass phones. And most of the time it feels like it's too big, especially if I'm trying to do something with one hand. Now most other premium phones give you a choice of sizes, whether that's the S9 or the iPhone 8 or the Pixel 2. You can choose between a small or a large version, which lets you decide between having a big screen or having a phone that fits more comfortably in your hand. But with the OnePlus 6, it's only available in one size, and that size is big. Now performance-wise, the OnePlus 6 is really fast, which isn't a huge surprise considering it's got a top-of-the-line processor and lots of RAM. But OnePlus has done a number of things under the hood to make it feel even faster than other phones, whether that's optimizing background processes or just kind of speeding up animation so everything happens a millisecond or two faster. The result is that the phone feels like it's really fast and it just powers through everything without really feeling like it's ever running out of steam. For stamina, the big 3300 milliamp hour battery in the OnePlus 6 means it's able to keep going for a full day of use for me without much of an issue. Now it doesn't have wireless charging, even though it has that glass back now, but OnePlus's dash charger is basically the fastest wired charging option you can get, so topping up the battery is never really a chore or a hassle. So let's talk about this camera, because traditionally that's where OnePlus phones can't quite match up to the bigger players. Now on paper, the OnePlus 6 has an upgraded camera. It's got bigger pixels and it has optical image stabilization. There's a 16 megapixel main sensor that handles most of the heavy lifting and then there's a 20 megapixel secondary sensor that adds more detail and enables portrait style effects. Now if you compare the OnePlus 6 versus the OnePlus 5 or 5T from last year, it's definitely an improvement. There's more detail and less noise and images are brighter, especially in low light. The portrait mode is just as gimmicky as before and even though it's nice to have slow motion in the video recording now, I don't really see myself ever using it. But if you stack the OnePlus 6 camera against a newer phone like the Samsung S9 or the Pixel 2 XL or even the Huawei P20 Pro, unfortunately it doesn't hold up. None of this is to say that the camera is bad, it's actually pretty good, especially for the price you pay. But it's definitely the thing where you see the biggest difference between the OnePlus 6 and more expensive phones. Now for software, the OnePlus 6 is running Oxygen OS, which is OnePlus's take on Android and it's running 8.1 Oreo in this case. Mostly it looks really similar to what you find on a Google Pixel phone. It's clean and it's easy to use without a bunch of gimmicky things getting in the way. But there's a couple of neat things that I want to point out. First is a gesture control system that you can use in place of the standard Android on-screen buttons. I really like this idea because it lets my content make full use of the display and stretch all the way to the bottom. But unfortunately the gestures are not as smooth or as fluid as on an iPhone X and they could use a good amount of work. I really hope OnePlus keeps working on this. The second is a reading mode which shifts the display to a monochrome appearance and it mimics an e-reader or Kindle. It makes reading long articles or ebooks much nicer and you can even have it turn on and off automatically depending on what app you're using. There are some other hardware features worth mentioning too. The OnePlus 6 has something that you won't find on any other Android phone. It has a physical switch to move between ring, vibrate, and fully silent modes. It's something I wish more phone makers would adopt. And there's two easy ways to unlock the OnePlus 6. You can use your finger or your face. The face unlock is not as secure but it's super convenient and fast. And for some reason OnePlus removed the swipe gestures on the fingerprint scanner that reveal the notification shade which seems like a minor thing but honestly it's annoyed me the entire time I've used the phone. OnePlus 6 also still has a headphone jack which is great if you don't want to deal with wireless headphones or Bluetooth in your car. And for speakers it has a loud and clear single speaker at the bottom but it doesn't have the even better dual speaker setups that many other phones offer at this point. And while OnePlus claims that the 6 is splash resistant it doesn't have any proper water resistant ratings so it can't be fully submerged or truly get wet. It's okay if you're out in the rain but don't go dropping it in a pool. So that's the OnePlus 6. It's everything we've come to expect from a OnePlus phone and it doesn't really change the conversation. Now it's still a great value and it still has most all the features you'd want on a high-end 2018 Android phone. And it doesn't have any annoying things like AI everywhere or dedicated buttons for a virtual assistant you don't want to use or weird squeezing interfaces that just are kind of gimmicky and get in the way. But at the same time if you're on Verizon or Sprint or you want maybe you want the best camera you can get or maybe you want a phone that you don't have to worry about if you drop it in the sink or maybe you just want something that isn't enormous then the OnePlus 6 probably isn't for you. But for everyone else the OnePlus 6 is pretty great. Hey thanks for watching and special shout out to Ernesto Alonso who made this really cool wallpaper you saw in this video.

This is audio recording one How's it going I am in Hollywood Los Angeles and the reason I'm here is because red is announcing they have announced They're showing off a new smartphone and it's one of the most interesting smartphones that's come out in a long time We're expecting it hopefully this August and it's gonna have this four view holographic screen, and I'm not really sure what that means I'm really excited to look at it. So we're gonna go we're gonna hang out with the fans and we're gonna go see What's going on here at a red studios Hollywood? So this is it this is the red hydrogen one and I can show you the back I can show you the sides But I can't show you the front what I can do is tell you a little bit of what the experience of the front looks like Okay, so I've looked at the phone but more importantly I've looked at the display and it is actually kind of impressive What red has done is they have taken the standard two camera setup which everybody does when they're doing 3d and then they? Interpolate the stuff in between so pop up up up But when you are moving the phone back and forth You can actually see it without having it having a jump and stutter like a standard particular display Which is pretty neat. I looked at a bunch of video loops, which are pretty easy to do I also did a live video chat. So using the two front-facing cameras I was able to see a holographic image of myself and a holographic image of the other person that I was chatting The other fascinating thing about it is that it has this modular system and I know modular phones They don't always work motorola successful essential not so much project our disaster but what's interesting about this is the module that they want to start with is a Sensor a camera sensor that can fit lots of different kinds of lens mounts So if you use Canon or Leica or Nikon or whatever You'll be able to attach that lens to one of these modules and use your existing lenses directly with the phone But I think even if that fails what's more interesting about this modular system Is that they're gonna have it work with reds own ecosystem So if you have a red epic or you have a you know weapon or whatever You'll be able to plug this thing in and use it as the display and have this phone be part of it Now the phone itself dude, it's huge. It's a 5.7 inch screen, but it's even bigger than like an iPhone 8 plus It's just a gigantic phone and they wouldn't let us take a picture of the front of it because the screen the hologram doesn't really Show on camera, but it looks good. It looks like a fine screen and the hologram thing I don't know if it's actually gonna take off but it is really clever and I even did a hollow chat Which was fun. They could actually do the hologram thing in real time over a video chat, which I was pretty impressed with So again, it's coming out in August we think and it's really expensive It's gonna be like 1200 bucks or the titanium version is gonna be like 1600 bucks. It's gonna be a bunch of money So if you are a person that just wants a cool phone, you know get another phone You can save a bunch of money. This isn't gonna be the best phone ever It's gonna have only a snapdragon 835 processor But if you're looking for something that participates in a crazy wild camera ecosystem like red has built This could be a really fascinating phone for you

Okay, so you know that Black Mirror episode where a giant tech company has been analyzing user data for decades and now it's using that information to shape human behavior by changing our phones and shipping us products to improve our lives? Oh, wait, that's... Okay, so that actually isn't a Black Mirror episode, but it sure sounds like it. That's actually the plot of a nearly nine minute long internal video from Google. So what is this video and what does it say about Google's future? The video was only meant to be used internally, apparently as a thought experiment to provoke discussion about the possibilities of data. It was created in 2016 by Nick Foster, the head of design at what used to be known as Google X. That's the company's moonshot factory where they make things like hot air balloons that deliver internet connections. The video was supposed to stay internal, but my colleague Vlad Savov obtained a copy of it. If you want to watch the full thing, you can do it at theverge.com. We'll have a link in the description. Here's what Google had to say to us about the video. We understand if this is disturbing. It is designed to be. This is a thought experiment by the design team from years ago that uses a technique known as speculative design to explore uncomfortable ideas and concepts in order to provoke discussion and debate. It's not related to any current or future products. And you know what? I agree with them. This video is disturbing. It's really weird and eerie. There are references to Pinocchio, Harry Potter, Richard Dawkins. There are close ups of insects and human faces. It's just meant to feel like a sci-fi film. The video basically makes one grand comparison. What if user data is like DNA, but for our behavior? What if, like we were able to sequence DNA to the benefit of our health and medicine, we could somehow sequence user data to make similarly grand improvements? In proposing this idea, Google brings up a number of fascinating possibilities, but it also brings up a ton of potential ethical and privacy concerns in the process. The central idea presented early on is the concept of a ledger. That's basically the word they're going to use to refer to all the data that they collect and assemble on you. This codified version of who we are becomes ever more complex, developing, changing, and deforming based on our actions. In this regard, this ledger of our data may be considered a Lamarckian epigenome. The Lamarckian epigenome he just mentioned refers to a pre-Darwinian theory on evolution, which isn't actually that important. Really, the science reference is just there to frame the idea of a file that collects all the data generated on us, which can then pass down to future generations, like your children or even just the population at large, to impact the future and their behavior. And that's where it starts to get a little weird, because the video introduces the idea that maybe your data doesn't belong to you. What if we thought of ourselves not as the owners of this information, but as custodians, transient carriers, or caretakers? That drawing with the weird blobby humans is really creepy, and not just because of the drawing. It basically says that I don't own my data, but my data belongs to my entire lineage, if not my entire society and all societies to come. Which is a huge leap about how we think about data privacy. We're currently freaking out about Facebook data leaking. This is talking about creating a repository of generations worth of data to be worked and studied upon forever. The video imagines a number of ways in which this data could be used. It starts out pretty simple. Initially, the notion of a goal-oriented ledger may be user-driven. As an organization, Google would be responsible for offering suitable targets for a user's ledger. Whilst the notion of a global good is problematic, topics would likely focus on health or environmental impact to reflect Google's values as an organization. Once the user selects a volition for their ledger, every interaction may be compared to a series of parallel options. This is basically like your phone's assistant making suggestions based on what it knows you like. So if you're trying to be more environmentally friendly, it might suggest you take an uber pool home or buy organic bananas. But listen to that one more time and pay close attention to the phrasing here. Initially, the notion of a goal-oriented ledger may be user-driven. Initially, the notion of a goal-oriented ledger may be user-driven. The implication here is that eventually Google or some grand AI will start taking a much larger role in your decision making. The AI might start to be proactive about going out and gathering data on you so that it can start providing you even more services. In the example given, the ledger is missing data about your weight, so it goes to incredible lengths to get it. It uses the data it knows about you to create the perfect scale for you. It uses your design interests to design the scale, and then 3D prints the scale and offers to sell it to you, all so that it can pull that weight data back into its system to know more and more about you. And again, this isn't all that far from what's possible today. Google and Facebook both serve ads and news based on your interests. And sometimes that's helpful. I read articles all the time that I'm served. But the added benefit for those companies is that with every article I click on or don't click on, they're getting more information that they can then use to tailor even more products and services to my tastes. Not to mention, a lot of us wear wearable devices that send information back up to those companies' servers, which they can then use to suggest health tips to us. In the final portion of the video, it jumps ahead to a world where Google has decades, if not generations of data. And with that information, the company can map patterns of behavior, or even disease, mental illness and social issues. It concludes on the suggestion that the ledger can change from a system that collects data to one that uses data to actively solve problems for individuals, if not entire populations. These are incredible possibilities, and there may even be some reality there. But the one thing the video never does is question whether it should be done, or if it can be done ethically. It never asks if this data is really as valuable as they make it out to be, or how we can scientifically prove any of this out. I actually take a lot of issue with the premise of this video. I don't think my data is really that representative of me, it's just these residual points left over for advertisers to target-sep to me. It's not human behavior. And on top of that, this data isn't even representative of all humans. It's just for Google users. What's most scary to me right now is that all this video is presented as possible, and there's really no one right now that can stop it or put a check on it. There's no universal ethics regulator that can make sure that tech companies aren't messing with their users' lives. There's no one making sure that any experiments are being conducted in a safe fashion, or that changes are being made that actually help people. This kind of stuff is already happening. Several years ago, Facebook briefly altered its newsfeed to see if it could make people happier or sadder. And it worked. Facebook was able to alter people's emotions. This is a giant tech company using data to manipulate humanity. And again, Google says that this video was a thought experiment and that it's not reflective of any current or future products. But even if that's the case, this is still a scary glimpse into the thinking in Silicon Valley. These companies are awake to the possibilities arising from our data. We should be too, or else one day, it might not be ours. Thanks for watching. If you have a chance, you should definitely watch the whole video because it is fascinating and actually just really entertaining from a filmmaking perspective too. Reminds me a lot of the movie La Jete. You can check it out. Link in the description below. Let us know in the comments what you think. We'll be around to answer any questions.

I started doing web comics about eight years ago and my style now is basically unrecognizable from what it used to be. I drew with a ballpoint pen on paper, scanned it, and it looked like this. Then I started drawing digitally and it changed everything. There's a ton of options out there and with the right tools, anyone can learn how to do digital art. So this is my main setup and this is just a standard entry-level Wacom Bamboo tablet that you just plug into a laptop with a USB cable. And I've had this for a few years and it's never given me any issues considering how badly I treat it. Wacom sells a ton of different models ranging in price but the new $80 Intuos should have more than enough features for anyone just starting out. I recently got a 9.7 inch iPad Pro and Apple Pencil mainly so I could work while I'm traveling. But really I just use it to draw in bed. I do wish I went slightly bigger but it's not a deal breaker. A lot of artists say the 10.5 inch is like the perfect size because it makes all the toolbars accessible but I think this works fine for me. And also the new $329 iPad works with Apple Pencil so it makes portable drawing more affordable than ever. If you don't want to spend $99 on an Apple Pencil or your older iPad doesn't support the $10.99 version, keep in mind there are other stylus options out there. You just have to look for features like pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, tilt support, maybe even some shortcut buttons. And this will make the move to digital feel a lot more natural. Let's take a step back and talk about the basics of drawing. To draw this bobblehead of Will, our art director, start with a rough sketch laying out the proportions with simple shapes. His head is an oval, his body is more of a rectangular oval, and his arms and legs are like thick noodles. Then I'll go back and add details like his eyes, connecting the ovals with more precise lines. Now you can start the inking layer. This is basically going over the rough sketch in a more precise way. And you have to be a little more careful here as this is the final version of the drawing that you'll color in. For me the biggest advantage of digital art is the ability to work in layers. Think of it like drawing on tracing paper. Layers allow you to stack the many parts of your image on different levels to form the whole drawing which makes editing the final image easier. So once I have the full outline of what I'm drawing, I just fill in the colors on another layer underneath. And for shading I'll add a layer over that. Shading can be daunting but it's pretty easy if you think about light in the physical world. First decide where your light source is coming from and use that as your guide to determine which parts will be the shadows and which parts will be the highlights. So for the shadows I take a black brush with a lowered opacity, darken one side of the drawing and highlight the other side in white where the light is hitting the subject. The end result is this lovely drawing of Will drawn in four separate layers. If you're concerned about how drawing on glass might affect you, you can always look into matte screen protectors that will mimic the feeling of drawing on paper. I tried one out from a company called Paperlike and it really helped bring some resistance to drawing on the iPad. So once you have all your tools we're going to move on to software. On my MacBook I like to use software like Adobe Photoshop but on the iPad I use Clip Studio Paint because it's most like a desktop app. There's all these other drawing apps on the iPad like Procreate or Adobe Draw but these apps kind of have like a learning curve because you have to learn each app's gesture controls like double tapping to undo. If you're not happy with any of these apps there's always other options. There's software like AstroPad or Duet Display that lets you connect your iPad to a computer so you can use it as a second display. And if you're in the market for a new laptop altogether there's always two-in-one devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro. So everything's on there, you can use the desktop version of Photoshop and there's no transferring of files like you would have with an iPad. Since I'm most comfortable with the Mac OS interface, using a Wacom tablet just makes sense for me. If you're in a position where you're trying to decide what's best for you, think more about the apps you want to use and for what purpose. But ultimately making art is a personal experience so play around and find your favorite options.

This is my iPhone X, and I love it. I think it's great, but I also think it kinda needs a case. And for me, the best case, even though it's a little bit overpriced, is the official Apple iPhone X leather case. I think it's a really nice balance of protection and usability, it feels pretty good, but I think it also looks kinda ugly out of the box. Look how, I don't know, yellow it is. Now if you use this for a few months, you eventually get something like this, which I think is lovely. It's got this nice patina, and it just feels really personal to me. But I don't wanna wait a few months, so I'm gonna show you later on in this video how I went from this to this with sandpaper and oil and a whole bunch of crazy work. But here's a question, why do I care this much about cases? Turns out the best person to answer that question isn't me, it's the Virgin's resident case expert, Ashley Carman. So let's go talk to her. Man, I think this was last summer, I reviewed this phone case, Pom Pom phone case, and I was so excited when I opened it. I was like, this is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my whole life, and then within three weeks, it was literally like a torture device, because these little hairs kept showing up everywhere, like in my food, seriously, like in my food, like the most random bowl, like a bowl that wasn't even near my phone. I would just like get food, and it would be in there, the hairs. It would be out my clothes. These little filaments come off, and they like float around your whole, oh my god. Yeah, it would be in my drinks. Yeah, you have one now. They stick everywhere. I have like shunned this, but I brought it out just for this occasion. When I buy a phone case, the first thing I'm thinking about is like, okay, I'm gonna protect my phone, so when I drop it, it won't smash. None of these cases are that like basic and functional, so like what are you looking for with a case? Well, yeah, I'm not really looking for protection, which is probably a mistake. I'm more just trying to find the weirdest case. Well, I mean, the reason I wanted to talk to you is like, so this is the after of my iPhone X case. And so the Apple case on its own is like really like yellow and tan, and I wanted it to look cool and weathered. So I just started thinking about why I am caring this much about the way a case looks, because when I, up to now, I just thought about it as like protection. If everyone has the same looking phone, every phone looks the same. How are you gonna differentiate it? How are you gonna express your own personal style? Applying the term fashion to cases seems, I don't know, frivolous, but it actually like, it makes perfect sense. If you think it's fashion as clothes, like clothes need to have that like primary function. They need to keep you from dying in like the cold weather, whatever, like they're functional. But like, it's how you present yourself to the world. But I also think it's like how you present yourself to yourself, you feel different depending on what you're wearing. And there's no reason that shouldn't also apply to a phone. I totally agree. Like I think there's people out there who buys, you know, unique Android phones, or maybe not, just not like the mainstream ones, because they're like, I wanna be able to show that I am into OnePlus or something like that. Yeah. With iPhones. They all, they're all the same. Yeah. You are giving away like your like fashion sense to Jhonti Ive. And he's got great fashion sense. I guess he wears like the t-shirts and the weird pants. Yeah, I know. But like, I'm not Jhonti Ive, I'm super not. It's good design. But I don't know. Design is fashion. I wanna be individual. And it's hard though. I mean, there's a lot of cool cases, but eventually start running into the same things. Like this glitter falling case, you see a ton of these now, or it's like the liquid. So it's hard to find these more unique styles. Okay, so what do we learn? Well, first of all, we learned Ashley is amazing. Thank you, Ashley. Now I feel way better about this project that I'm about to embark on. Tools, cardboard. Of course I have the Unsullied Apple Case. I went to Walgreens and I got some sandpaper blocks and also coconut oil, 100%, extra virgin, with shea butter, and of course paper towel. So if you know anything about leatherworking, what I'm about to do to this case is going to horrify you. But you know what? I don't care. It's my case. I wanna make it feel more like my case. And so to make it better, I'm gonna destroy a little bit first. Let me show you how. So there are four basic steps to get from this to this. The first step is that this case has a protective coating on it. You need to get that off. I'm gonna sand it off, but you could also use like nail polish remover. The second step is you need something to darken the leather once you've got that coating off. I'm gonna use coconut oil, but some people use shoe polish. I mean, you could spit on the thing if you want to. The third step is leave it out, preferably outside in the sun, because it's gonna smell bad and also the sun helps speed up the darkening process. And then the final step, and this is kind of important, is once it's back on your phone, you just kind of have to worry at it a little bit, to smooth it out and just sort of get all the little weird bits that happen in the whole process smoothed out and looking better. Okay, so here we go. I'm starting with a pretty heavy grit, and then I'm gonna go to a lighter grit, but you could just use whatever you got sitting around the house. And immediately you're gonna see, this is a really scary thing I'm doing. You know, just be careful. Don't over sand it and end up just completely ruining the case. But I'm just kind of hitting all the corners, hitting all the edges. Another thing to be aware of is you don't have to hit the edges quite as much as you do like the back and the Apple logo, simply because that's where the natural oils from your hand are gonna be hitting the phone the most anyway, and so they're gonna get darker on their own. This case is gonna be sitting around my house. It's gonna be sitting around me all the time. And there's a lot of stuff that sits around my house, sits around me all the time that I want to be nice, and I want to feel like it's mine. So Ashley and I talked a lot about cases in terms of fashion, but it's also a thing that's just around. I have a favorite chair. I have a favorite blanket. I've got, I don't know, nice plates. And looking at this case every day, I can look at it and I will be able to feel better about this thing that I helped make. But yeah, I think this thing is ready for oil. All right, so as I'm spraying this thing, it's pretty intense. It smells really bad. Sorry about that. And then I do need to work it in a little bit just to make sure it hits all the different parts of the phone. So I was inspired to do this by this thread over on the MacRumors forums called Patina Proud, which is just a whole bunch of people who have this case that were showing off how they managed to get a really nice patina on their case. And they talked about their different methods for getting there. And you end up with something that looks like this. And I think this looks awesome. It looks distressed and cool and mine. And that's the point. It looks like it's mine. Whether you do what Ashley does and you buy a bunch of weird cases that are unique to her or you do what I do and you literally destroy a phone case, you want it to feel like it's yours. Technology can be alienating and it can feel generic. Everybody has the same thing. And so customizing your case can make technology be what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to belong to you.

Spam calls are worse than ever. That's not just my opinion. It's not just how we all feel. It's true. Robocall complaints to the Federal Trade Commission have quintupled since 2009, and they jumped steeply in just the past year to four and a half million total. And that's just robocalls. There are another two and a half million complaints about live telemarketers. So what on earth can we do to start fighting back against all these spammy calls? There are three steps you can take. They won't solve the problem entirely, but if you're fed up, this is what you can do to start fighting back. Okay, so step number one, use a call blocking app. There are a whole bunch of these, and they all try to do the same thing. Block spam calls before you have to answer your phone. Some of the most popular include Hiya and Truecaller, which are free, and Nomorobo and Robokiller, which require a subscription. We're gonna use Nomorobo because it won the FTC's Robocall Blocking Challenge, but these all work more or less the same, and they work for both iOS and Android. Once you've installed it, you'll have to give the app permission to handle your caller ID. The app's also a huge, constantly updating list of known spammers, and then it checks those numbers against who's calling you. If it sees that a known spammer is calling you, it either won't let the number through, or it'll identify you when they're calling. If the app does let a spam call through by accident, then you can tell it that, and it'll then factor that information in for everybody else to help block even more spam calls. Since most of these apps are free, there's no harm in just trying one out to see how it works for you. But before we go any further, what's behind all these spam calls anyway? Well, since our private numbers are basically everywhere now, linked to our online accounts, pasted in our email signatures, and printed on business cards, and giving our phone numbers to pretty much everyone, there's a good chance they'll be shuffled along to someone they shouldn't. Plus, thanks to auto-dialing software and the internet, scammers can place thousands of calls a minute for really cheap. They can even guess at numbers if they want to. And once they're dialed, the auto-dialer can then play back a pre-recorded message that someone picked up. Technology is also making spammers more clever, letting them disguise their phone number as a local one with your own area code. That way, you're more likely to answer, giving each fake call a better chance of landing. But why do we receive so many spam calls? Well, as you can guess, someone is profiting from this. The caller ID company Truecaller estimates that phone scammers made 9.5 billion in 2016 from Americans alone. And the more calls they send out, the more chances they have of finding the target. And while this is a huge problem, it's actually really hard to crack down on. Making spammy calls like these are largely illegal in the US, but robocalls can be placed from overseas, and there's not much the United States can do about that. And for phone service providers, it can be hard to tell whether a call that's coming in is from a scammer or from someone you actually want to get in touch with. They have to be careful not to block any calls that really should have been let through. And it's important to note that some robocalls are legal. Your pharmacy might call you. Your prescription is ready. Or your child's school. We are closed due to inclement weather. Or even an airline. Your gate has changed. Generally speaking, these are all legal. The focus is on those calls from scammers claiming you want a free cruise, or they can lower your interest rate, or that the FBI is looking for you. The service YouMail estimates that 30% to 40% of all robocalls are scams, and you definitely shouldn't be receiving those calls. All right, so what else can you do to stop spam calls? Well, there are a few other things. First, make sure your number is on the national Do Not Call registry if you're in the United States. Assuming those calls were coming in legally, that could start to come down on some of them. Second, see what your phone provider can do. AT&T and T-Mobile both offer services that are designed to identify spammy callers when they hit your phone. Verizon and Sprint have similar services, but they all charge you for it. And finally, know what to do when you do get a spam call. Don't talk, don't press any buttons, don't let them know that a human is on the line, or they might be more likely to call back. Also, be aware of what some of the common phone scams are, like free travel packages, so you don't give them your time or money. If you really do wanna talk to somebody, consider calling them back from a number that you know is legitimate. Also, and this is really important, when you're handing out your information over the phone, make sure you're really identifying yourself rather than handing your identity to somebody who doesn't already have it. Unfortunately, it might never be possible to fully put a stop to robocalls, but you're not defenseless against them.

Hey this is Nat with The Verge and I am here at Google I.O. 2018 where we are about to go check out the first car that has Android Auto natively built in. Let's go see. We are now in the Volvo XC40. It's the first Volvo car that's going to have Android Auto pre-installed in the car. So whether or not you use an Android or an iOS phone, you can still get access to Google Maps and all the other Android Auto skin without actually connecting your phone. So the system runs on Android P which is the latest system and it has all this stuff pre-installed. You have maps which you can tie to your account. It kind of lets you personalize the driver to the account so you can adjust your seat, you can set your maps shortcuts to your home, your work address or other favorite stations and you also have access to a bunch of entertainment apps so that you can adjust which one you like. The newest part of this is now a Google Play functionality that lets you install different apps. Now these are going to be curated so that all the apps that are available are going to be car specific so you won't get every single Google Play app onto the car, just the stuff that makes sense such as music or navigation or texting. The car will also have RCS pre-installed so that uses the new Google Chat protocol so that you can get messages without waiting to receive it on Hangouts because RIP Hangouts. There's also an integrated Google Assistant button that you can click and ask for the assistant to change other hardwares in the car such as car temperature or seat warmers. Now this is Volvo's skin on Android Auto which means that this looks like a Volvo infotainment system but it basically runs on Android. Other car makers may adopt the same thing but it may look a little different. The goal is for the system to look like the car that you're familiar with and you use and drive all the time but the experience of using an Android app such as Google Maps or Assistant will be consistent with what you use at home or on your phone if you use a Google Assistant app on your iOS that comes in this car as well. The way Volvo has it right now is that Google Maps is available both on the main infotainment screen and also in the navigation up here. This is all a work in progress, it's just a demo which means that Volvo actually won't be able to roll this down to at least 2020 but it's a good glimpse of what it looks like to have Android Auto in the car without your phone. The new Google Assistant update will be able to make appointments for you so in the future Volvo believes that the car will then be able to tell when your car is ready for maintenance and then suggest that you can make appointments through Google Assistant within the car. Again, you don't need your phone for any of this but if you have it tied to your Google account that will help. So I mentioned this is running on Android P. If you want to learn more about Android P we actually have a different video that goes down all the list of all the features coming to Android P. Check it out.

So we're here at day one of Google I.O. checking out new features for Google Lens. It's an AR and AI platform for the company and it's basically built into Google Assistant and now it's built right into the smartphone's camera. So Google first introduced Google Lens last year and basically at the time it was a way to look through the camera's viewfinder and identify objects and photos. Now Lens is much more sophisticated. It uses all of Google's understanding of natural language processing and object recognition, image recognition. It's embedded into one big platform so that the smartphone can see and understand the world around it and it can parse human language. Prior to today Google Lens was only available within Google Assistant. Now it works right from the smartphone's camera and it works on other devices. Right here we have an LG G7 and we have a whole wall of props behind us that we can use Google Lens to identify and get information from Google Search. There are three ways to access Google Lens. The first is to just open the camera and click the Google Lens button. From there the phone starts looking and trying to identify objects it sees through the viewfinder. The second way to access Google Lens is basically just by touching and holding the home button down here, launching Assistant and just clicking the Lens button. And as you can see right now Lens already sees and identifies objects with these little colored dots that says it knows what it is. Tapping on one of the dots will pull up Google Search results. So you see it understands that this is an album by Justice, woman, and conveniently Justice happens to be the artist performing at Google I.O. tomorrow. And the third way to access Google Lens will be a double tap on the camera button, but that only works on the LG G7. If you look at some of the clothing here, doesn't quite identify the clothing, but it asked if I like the clothing. I guess it's trying to build a preference profile for me. Let's try this one. There it goes. It's got shopping results from Macy's from QVC. So it understands what this item of clothing is and it then prompts you to buy it online. Now as you scan Google Lens over other objects it'll slowly start to recognize everything else that you pan it over. So we have a piece of art right here. That is not correct. Hold on. Looking for results. There we go. So it went from the album, but now it knows that this is a painting by Pablo Picasso. Right here it sees a photo. And it knows that this was a Norwegian Lundehund. I don't think I pronounced that right, but it is a dog breed and Google identified it. So Google Lens isn't just for photos and objects. You can do a lot with text now. That includes text inside the book jacket of a book. It includes text on menus at restaurants. You can point the camera at a whole list of food items and you can pull up images of those food items. You can pull up YouTube videos of how to make them. You can even translate those food items if they're in another language into English or into Spanish or any other language you want that Google Translate supports. Now if you're looking at a book, for instance like the book Swing Time by Zadie Smith, you can look at huge passages of text. You can even grab that text using Google Lens and you can pull it out as if you would just copy and paste it from a document. From there you can translate the text into another language. You can even then do Google searches on it. Google Lens essentially takes text from anywhere out in the world, street signs, restaurant menus, even books. It makes that text searchable. Now the underlying technology behind Google Lens, it isn't just for basically looking through a smartphone viewfinder and looking at products or trying to translate text. What powers Google Lens is a lot of the foundational AI work that lets Google do AR experiences. So for instance, because Google's software and the phones that power that software can understand and see the world, you can create whole virtual 3D images. For instance, you can have paintings come to life right out in front of you and you can walk around. You can even see the reflections of objects behind you in those 3D images if developers design them in the right way and know what environment you're standing in. That's pretty wild. You can also point your camera lens at a podium and have an entire 3D image kind of come to life in front of you, grow up into the sky and then encompass the entire vertical area around you. Now these Google Lens features are all coming later this month. And as Google set on stage at the I.O. keynote, they're coming to more than just Pixel devices and within the Assistant. You'll also be able to access them in I.O.S. from within the Assistant itself, but you have to use the Assistant. You won't be able to access it from the iPhone's camera, of course.

Good morning, good morning. Hello Builds. Welcome to day two. And now I'm very excited to announce that we will be bringing Timeline to your iPhone and your Android devices as well. Thank you. I'm making the PC the perfect second screen to your phone. So you saw some of this yesterday. I'm thrilled to announce that coming in a future release of Windows, we will be shipping an inbox app that will allow you to get some of the key workloads off your phone right onto your PC. You can launch it from the task bar. Launching it will give you access. It's a permanent destination for your photos, for your texts, for your notifications, and many other key workloads over time from your phone right there on your PC. And so today I'm going to walk you through sets. So as you'll see here, we're going to start in a Word document where here I am, someone putting together a rainfall report. And of course, one of the first things that I'm going to see is a web link that might be in my document or it might be research that I'm doing. And what starts to happen as I get going is more and more things will open up. Okay, the next insider build you get will take web content and put your recent web tabs right at your fingertips and Alt-Tab. So you get this automatic muscle memory feeling of switching back to the last thing regardless of whether it's web or app. And yes, thank you. I can see some of you clapping for that. In Microsoft Word, we have a goal to make every person a better writer. And one way we do this is with grammar checking. However, some errors are very, very hard to detect with traditional algorithms. For example, in English, you get into a car but onto a train. We've trained the grammar checker and it now can suggest corrections that I can take action on and fix. We're running this on Windows ML. It's the little things that matter the most, right? Like how in Notepad, the Linux slide feeds don't actually end. Well, we fixed Notepad. We decided finally time to go fix it. Notepad now supports Linux line feeds. Of course, we continue to invest in the Microsoft Store. We're building new ways for consumer developers to track the use of their apps, to deploy their apps. And one thing that we're excited to announce at Build this year is a change in the revenue model within the store for consumer apps. So if you're somebody who writes consumer apps, not games, not commercial apps, you'll care about the fact that going forward later this year, we'll increase the revenue share to 85% of the revenue going to you if someone comes to the Microsoft Store, finds your app and installs it. But even better, if you're running your own campaigns or promoting your app on your website, if you send a customer to the Microsoft Store and they find your app, we'll return 95% of the revenue to you, making this the most developer-friendly store from an economic point of view of all the large ecosystems. Today, I'm here to show you how by building adaptive cards, you can engage with your users in your apps right in the flow of their daily conversations. Adaptive cards are an open source card exchange format that allow you to embed your content inside of other applications. I'm thrilled to announce that starting today, you can pay off bills and invoices directly in Outlook using adaptive cards. This integrates with Microsoft Pay, which means that I can access all of the payment methods that I already have securely stored in the cloud to streamline the payment process. For developers, Microsoft Graph is accessible through one single unified REST API endpoint, graph.microsoft.com. You can connect to Microsoft Graph to power your own app experiences. By doing so, your app will be able to sign in users seamlessly with the same identity that is used by Windows and Office, and you will be able to use the same business data that Microsoft 365 apps use. To make it even further, I'm happy to announce that we're making the new graph UWP controls available today. Thank you so much for coming and spending time with us today. Enjoy the rest of the conference. Have a great build. We appreciate everything you do. So long. Microsoft Dev Yoga ME 365, Enterprise Edition, sponsored by Lenovo. See what I did there? Yoga Lenovo. Yeah, too early still? No?

Welcome to Google I.O. Thank you for joining us. We are at an important inflection point in computing, and it's exciting to be driving technology forward. And we're excited about how we can approach our mission with renewed vigor thanks to the progress we see in AI. Healthcare is one of the most important fields AI is going to transform. If you go and analyze over 100,000 data points per patient, more than any single doctor could analyze, we can actually quantitatively predict the chance of readmission 24 to 48 hours before earlier than traditional methods. It gives doctors more time to act. Another example of one of our core products which we are redesigning with AI is Gmail. We call it Smart Compose. So as the name suggests, we use machine learning to start suggesting phrases for you as you type. All you need to do is to hit tab and keep auto completing. We are rolling out Smart Compose to all our users this month and hope you enjoy using it as well. So we are bringing a new feature called Suggested Actions. Say for example, you went to a wedding and you're looking through those pictures. We understand your friend Lisa is in the picture and we offer to share the three photos with Lisa and with one click those photos can be sent to her. By the way, AI can also deliver unexpected moments. So for example, if you have this cute picture of your kid, we can make it better. We can drop the background color, pop the color and make the kid even cuter. Or if you happen to have a very special memory, something in black and white, maybe of your mother and grandmother, we can recreate that moment in color and make that moment even more real and special. All these features are going to be rolling out to Google Photos users in the next couple of months. And today I'm excited to announce our next generation TPU 3.0. These chips are so powerful that for the first time we've had to introduce liquid cooling in our data centers. So we've worked hard with WaveNet and we are adding as of today six new voices to the Google Assistant. Let's have them say hello. Good morning everyone. I'm your Google Assistant. Welcome to Shoreline Amphitheater. We hope you'll enjoy Google I.O. Back to you, Sundar. Let's be honest, it gets a little annoying to say, hey Google, every time I want to get my assistant's attention. Now you won't have to say, hey Google, every time. We call this continued conversation and it's been a top feature request. Are kids learning to be bossy and demanding when they can just say, hey Google, to ask for anything they need? Now we've been consulting with families and child development experts and we plan to offer Pretty Please as an option for families later this year. Let's say you want to ask Google to make you a haircut appointment on Tuesday between 10 and noon. What happens is the Google Assistant makes the call seamlessly in the background for you. Hello, how can I help you? Hi, I'm calling to book a women's haircut for a client. I'm looking for something on May 3rd. Sure, give me one second. The amazing thing is the Assistant can actually understand the nuances of conversation. We've been working on this technology for many years. It's called Google Duplex. It brings together all our investments over the years in natural language understanding, deep learning, text-to-speech. By the way, when we are done, the Assistant can give you a confirmation notification saying your appointment has been taken care of. We gave you an early look at our new smart displays at CES in January. We're working with some of the best consumer electronic brands. And today I'm excited to announce that the first smart displays will go on sale in July. From staying in touch with family with broadcast and dual video calling, to keeping an eye on your home with all of our other smart home partners, to seeing in advance what the morning commute is like with Google Maps. We're thoughtfully integrating the best of Google and working with developers and partners all around the world to bring voice and visuals together in a completely new way for the home. With the new Google News, we set out to help you do three things. First, keep up with the news you care about. Second, understand the full story. And finally, enjoy and support the sources you love. We're rolling out on Android, iOS, and the web in 127 countries starting today. Android P. AI underpins the first of three themes in this release, which are intelligence, simplicity, and digital well-being. With Android P, we partnered with DeepMind to work on a new feature we call adaptive battery. It's designed to give you a more consistent battery experience. And then with this understanding, the operating system adapts to your usage patterns so that it spends battery only on the apps and services that you care about. Adaptive brightness learns how you like to set the brightness slider, given the ambient lighting, and then does it for you in a power-efficient way. With Android P, we're going beyond simply predicting the next app to launch to predicting the next action you want to take. We call this feature App Actions. Slices are a new API for developers to define interactive snippets of their app UI that can be surfaced in different places in the OS. If I type lift into the Google Search app, I now see a slice from the lift app installed on my phone. Lift is using the slice API's rich array of UI templates to render a slice of their app in the context of search. And then lift is able to give me the price for my trip to work, and the slices interact up, so I can order the ride directly from it. Pretty nice. I'm really excited to announce ML Kit, a new set of APIs available through Firebase. With ML Kit, you get on-device APIs to text recognition, face detection, image labeling, and a lot more. And ML Kit also supports the ability to tap into Google's cloud-based ML technologies. We think we can help users with their digital well-being in four ways. We want to help you understand your habits, focus on what matters, switch off when you need to, and above all, find balance with your family. In Android, we're actually going to give you full visibility into how you're spending your time. The apps where you're spending your time, the number of times you unlocked your phone on a given day, the number of notifications you got, and we're going to really help you deal with this better. Android P will show you a dashboard of how you're spending time on your device. We're making improvements to Do Not Disturb mode to silence not just the phone calls and texts, but also the visual interruptions that pop up on your screen. We've created a new gesture that we've affectionately codenamed Shush. If you turn your phone over on the table, it automatically enters Do Not Disturb, so you can focus on being present. No pings, vibrations, or other distractions. Android P will help you set up a list of contacts that can always get through to you with a phone call, even if Do Not Disturb is turned on. So we created Wind Down mode. You can tell the Google Assistant what time you aim to go to bed, and when that time arrives, it will switch on Do Not Disturb and fade the screen to grayscale. Today, we're announcing Android P Beta. And with efforts in Android Oreo to make OS upgrades easier, Android P Beta is available on Google Pixel and seven more manufacturer flagship devices today. Maps was built to assist everyone, wherever they are in the world. We're now able to automatically add new addresses, businesses, and buildings that we extract from Street View and satellite imagery directly to the map. This is critical in rural areas, in places without formal addresses, and in fast-changing cities like Lagos here, where we've literally changed the face of the map in the last few years. We're adding a new tab to Maps called For You. It's designed to tell you what you need to know about the neighborhoods you care about, new places that are opening, what's trending now, and personal recommendations. We've created a score called Your Match to help you find more places that you'll love. Your Match uses machine learning to combine what Google knows about hundreds of millions of places with the information that I've added, restaurants I've rated, cuisines I've liked, and places that I've been to. Share the list with your friends to get their input too. You can easily share with just a couple of taps on any platform that you prefer. My friends can add more places if they want to, or just vote with one simple click, so we can quickly choose a group favorite. So now, instead of copying and pasting a bunch of links and sending text back and forth, decisions can be quick, easy, and fun. What if the cameras can help us answer questions? Questions like, where am I going, or what's that in front of me? Our teams have been working really hard to combine the power of the camera, the computer vision, with street view and maps to reimagine walking navigation. You can start to see nearby places, so you see what's around you. And just for fun, our team's been playing with an idea of adding a helpful guide, like that there, so that it can show you the way. VPS, Visual Positioning System, that can estimate precise positioning and orientation. We think the camera can also help you do more with what you see. That's why we started working on Google Lens. Oh, that cute dog in the park, that's a Labradoodle. Lens can now recognize and understand words. With smart text selection, you can now connect the words you see with the answers and actions you need. So you can do things like copy and paste from the real world directly into your phone. The next feature I want to talk about is called Style Match. And the idea is this, sometimes your question is not, oh, what's that exact thing? Instead, your question is, what are things like it? You're at your friend's place, you check out this trendy-looking lamp, and you want to know things that match that style. And now Lens can help you. So the last thing I want to tell you about today is how we're making Lens work in real time. So as you saw in the Style Match example, you start to see, you open the camera, and you start to see Lens surface proactively all the information instantly. And it even anchors that information to the things that you see. But we're very excited that starting next week, Lens will be integrated right inside the camera app on the Pixel, the new LG G7, and a lot more devices. Today, Waymo is the only company in the world with a fleet of fully self-driving cars with no one in the driver's seat on public roads. Phoenix will be the first stop for Waymo's driverless transportation service, which is launching later this year. Soon, everyone will be able to call Waymo using our app, and a fully self-driving car will pull up with no one in the driver's seat to whisk them away to their destination. And within a matter of months, we reduce the error rate for detecting pedestrians by 100x. That's right, not 100%, but 100 times. Now at Waymo, AI touches every part of our system, from perception to prediction to decision making to mapping and so much more. Now, to be a capable and safe driver, our cars need a deep semantic understanding of the world around them. Our vehicles need to understand and classify objects, interpret their movements, reason about intent, and predict what they will do in the future. And today, I want to tell you about two areas where AI has made a huge impact, perception and prediction. Traditionally, in computer vision, neural networks are used just on camera images and video, but our cars have a lot more than just cameras. We also have lasers to measure distance and shapes of objects, and radars to measure their speed. And by applying machine learning to this combination of sensor data, we can accurately detect pedestrians in all forms in real time. Our fleet has self-driven more than 6 million miles on public roads. And at Waymo, we use the TensorFlow ecosystem and Google's data centers, including TPUs, to train our neural networks. And with TPUs, we can now train our nets up to 15 times more efficiently. And we can't wait to make our self-driving cars available to more people, moving us closer to a future where roads are safer, easier, and more accessible for everyone. Thanks, everyone. It's a great reminder of how AI can play a role in helping people in new ways all the time. And I hope you all find some inspiration in the next few days to keep building good things for everyone. Thank you.

Google I O is here and that means we finally know what's happening with Android P. Companies focusing on three things, a simpler interface, an intelligent interface, and this thing they're calling digital well-being. What's that all about? So the new Android P beta should be available pretty much right away on a whole bunch of devices like seven or nine devices. It's on the Google Pixel 2 XL which I have here. You can also get on a OnePlus 6, Nokia phones, etc. Anyway I want to show you the most obvious thing you're going to see on this beta of Android P because oh my god they took the home button away. So what you do is you give it a little swipe up and that takes you to the overview screen. All of your apps are listed horizontally here and they're even live so you can like long press on something and have it do a search for that thing or copy the text or whatever which is kind of cool. If you give it a longer swipe up or a second swipe up it takes you to all of your apps and it lists your most used apps or sorry the like AI detected apps or what they think you're going to want to use right there at the top and that's also in this half swipe up down here at the bottom which is pretty neat. There's a little tab also for your work apps and if you really want to you just turn those damn things off because who wants work apps. One last little clever thing with that button if you just slide it over to the right you can get to that list of your most recent apps to jump into them so it's a really quick way to switch between apps. And then of course when you're in an app the home button is there to go home you can just tap it to go home and the good old back button is there too if you want the back button. Notifications things are basically the same but there are some really nice updates so if you start dismissing stuff a bunch eventually it'll ask you if you just want to stop seeing those notifications. You can long press on a notification instead of remembering that weird little swipe over to get the settings and then there's just a plain old manage notifications button at the bottom. When you tap on that it takes you to a list of your most recent notifications and then you can just turn those things off because they've been annoying you lately so it's a much faster way to handle notifications. Now this is just some of the stuff in Android P there's a lot more there's all the stuff about digital well-being there's a bunch of AI stuff and so I want to talk about that stuff now. Now because this is Google and because Google can't string more than five words together without saying the words AI we're talking about AI again. AI is built into Android in a few different ways. There's a new machine learning kit so that you can make your own intelligent apps and that works on both Android and iOS actually but in Android itself AI is going to watch what apps you use and then shut them down intelligently to save battery life. It's also going to adjust your brightness automatically for you. I don't know saying that that's AI feels a little bit buzzwordy and a little bit overkill but it should hopefully give you better battery life in the end. What are some of the things that are more intelligent than what's happening on the phone now? Right and so I mean the whole premise of this is you know we think smart we call them smartphones but you know what they could be a lot smarter and it could be a lot more intelligent and you know what does that mean? Well in our case it's really we think the phone should adapt to you. One area that we've worked on which I like a lot is what we call adaptive battery. It's a project we did with DeepMind. It uses on-device machine learning to figure out which apps you're going to launch next and which ones you're not going to launch for a couple of hours and which you may not do till evening if at all. That's one example. Another is auto brightness. Now you know pretty much every modern smartphone today will look at it has a light sensor and it will adjust the brightness depending on the light but it doesn't take into account your preferences right or your environment and so what we've done it'll actually learn how you move the brightness given different lighting conditions and then it will do it for you. So one of the things that Google's doing in Android P is they're introducing these new terms there's a slice and there's an action and they're basically deep links which means that an app has got something you want to do deep down inside the app but you want to do it somewhere else in the operating system so if you do a search for lift it just surfaces a link to just go home and it jumps right into the app to do that or if you want if you are opening up your app drawer there's a couple little things inside the app drawer at the top that lets you jump right into some action you do all the time like you know call your significant other or open up seamless when you get home because let's be honest you're going to open up seamless when you get home you're lazy as hell. Those are all the whiz bang features are going to make you more productive with your phone and use your phone more and they're all great but Google's doing this whole other thing that's designed to get you to use your phone less. The digital well-being for us as a theme is a set of capabilities we're putting into Android to help people become more aware of how they're using their device and then be in control have a set of controls where they can decide how they want to change that behavior. So one of the ways you're doing that is you have this thing is it what you call the dashboard? Yeah there's a dashboard. Is it just is it just a lot more check boxes for people to have to look at like are you finding that people are actually finding value in this thing? The first step is awareness and that dashboard is pretty straightforward it shows you how much time you spent on your phone each day what apps you spent that time in how many times you unlock your phone how many notifications you've received and then it lets you drill down on those things and then the next piece of it is okay so how can the software help me if I want to change my behavior and so that's where we have we're putting a bunch of capabilities we're calling you know user controls so you can set a time limit on the amount of time you want to spend in an app and so I could say for example I only want to spend 30 minutes a day in YouTube or an Instagram or my favorite game maybe Subway Surfer right and another situation that we find people really talk to us a lot about was trying to be fully present for something and the phone perhaps not helping with that so do not disturb is being improved where I can when I turn on do not disturb now all the visual interruptions go away so it doesn't show notifications on lock screen just done not only does it not vibrate it doesn't no vibrations you know basically no interruptions so after that really brief look at Android P what do I think well I'm kind of hopeful I really love the idea of exploding apps out into the rest of the phone so that you can just do a search and jump right to the thing you want to do and I'm really intrigued by the idea of using apps less because I don't know I use Twitter way too much if you take those two ideas together what's really interesting is Google's trying to set up a system where you think about your phone less both because it does stuff for you automatically through AI and because you just use your phone less and maybe we could all stand to do that but even though I'm hopeful that doesn't mean I'm naive Android has a huge update problem it always has and the theory is that this new treble system they developed is going to get it on more phones sooner we're making a good step here it's going to show up on like seven manufacturers in beta right away and we should have it on a bunch of phones not just pixel phones by the end of the year but Google has to execute because every year we see a great new version of Android and then we'd have to wait to get it on the phones that everybody buys Samsung phones I would really like to see them fix that this year with Android P thank you so much for watching if you like this video there's another video over at Verge science you should definitely watch it's about eye charts and are they actually useful for helping you see if your vision is any good and why they're always all the same you should go check it out.

If you're a Windows fan, you don't need me to tell you that today is the start of the Microsoft Build Developers Conference, but if you are a true Windows fan, you don't need me to tell you that this kind of generic looking campus is Microsoft headquarters. We came here a week before Build to talk to Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, look at the demos that are gonna happen in his keynote, and basically get the scoop on what's next for Windows and what's next for Microsoft. Nadella recently reorganized the team that makes Windows, so I wanted to know how important is Windows to Microsoft now? What even is Windows? We built operating systems all our life. What is an operating system? In a world where every person is gonna use multiple devices in their life, they're gonna collaborate with many people in their family or at work, what does it even mean to build a platform? We had to confront, I mean, we are the Windows company after all, right? So to be able to say, well, Windows and multi-device experiences are not at odds, in fact, let's make every Windows application a multi-device application is something we're gonna talk a lot about. It's all about being able to recognize that every Windows user also happens to have, in many cases, or in all cases, a phone as well. So that means they already have multiple devices. They have a Windows device and perhaps a non-Windows device. How do we make sure that both those devices can work in concert to help the user get the most out of their computers? For example, the timeline feature is a fantastic feature for continuity between devices. My takeaway from what he just said about Windows is not that Windows is going away, because of course Windows isn't going away. Instead, I think Microsoft is gonna stop trying to turn everything into Windows. The better plan, the new plan, is they're gonna try and make everything that's already out there work better if you happen to have a Windows device around. There is a bit of Windows news at Build, but I also wanted to talk to Nadella about AI. We are moving from celebrating AI breakthroughs to really now saying how can we celebrate AI being deployed everywhere? Xiaomi, for example, built a device using our cognitive capabilities, both speech recognition and machine translation. Chinese travelers worldwide are gonna be the largest population of travelers. Just imagine if they could have a far field device that's just there in their pocket and they can just put it in front, and the two of us could be conversing, one in Mandarin and the other in English, and in real time have language translation. That's a real application of AI. The DJI drone, where you now have a drone that's flying over oil pipelines, and what we did was we have a machine learning model which can recognize any breaks in the pipeline that's been downloaded to run on the DJI drone itself. That means Azure Edge is in the DJI drone. That's an example of it. All this talk about AI can be really abstract. It's hard to get your hands on it, and so Microsoft took us to a place where they actually take this AI and turn it into real stuff, and it's called the Batcave, because that's a cool name. Anyway, this is where they demo all the stuff that they're creating to use in their keynotes, and this is it. Hey, Peter. Hi. Thanks for joining us. I think probably the best way to show you what we're gonna be talking about is just to have you join the meeting with me. Are you down for that? Yeah, I love meetings. I have so many of them. I'm glad you still have positive feelings about your meetings, even with so many. Microsoft showed me a demo of a futuristic computer meeting. There was a prototype 360 degree camera that recognized me and greeted me when I walked in the door. It provided live transcription of the entire meeting, and it could also do live translation, but I didn't get to see that. It also automatically broke out action items when somebody said something like, let me follow up on that. I saw Cortana automatically schedule meetings and hunt for documents based on a conversation inside the Microsoft Teams app, and I also played around with a 3D render of data inside HoloLens. We were looking for why there was a bunch of temperature sensors that were too hot in an office building. This is the most technologically advanced way to narc on somebody throwing the heat up in their office too high that I've ever seen in my life. Don't worry, nobody got fired. It was just faulty sensors. The neat thing about this demo is that, although it's not real for users yet, it's all built on AI technology that Microsoft has already made. So it's not some kitchen of the future thing. It could actually happen for regular users really soon. But AI isn't always about whizbang features. It also has potential to be really dangerous. Just look at how Facebook's algorithm has gone haywire for the past year. How is Microsoft gonna prevent that sort of thing from happening? What sort of responsibility do you have to build protections into the AI capabilities you're providing to developers such that it won't cause completely insane sideways effects? I mean, I would say, in fact, we have a very broad responsibility as tech companies and tech platform companies in particular. I think when I look at it, there are three principled issues, or three issues on which you have strong principles guiding you. One is on privacy. Fundamentally, where the world is going is you've got to recognize that privacy is a human right, and that you need to treat it as such. Second, you have to treat security and cyber security as something that is important for everyone. And third, you have to really not just ask what can computers do, but you should ask what should computers do. So those are the three issues. Yeah, well, I guess the core of the question is how much, when you start allowing people to build on top of the AI, how much of that responsibility falls on you to limit their capabilities, and how much of it do you think is just encouraging people to not be terrible when they start making their apps? I think that having been in this platform business for all the years at Microsoft, I think the key is for us to be able to guide people, to make those design choices. I mean, take good UI, right? We've always had books that we would always read about what does it mean to create good UI. I think we all now have to start reading what does it mean to create good AI. And good AI is not just the technology frameworks, it is also the ethical principles that guide good AI. And I think that that's where we have to start. So listen, all this talk about cloud and AI brings up something that's kind of hard to express. I call it the gap. It's the gap between what a company is promising is coming and what you're using every day. It's the gap between what you know Microsoft could have been and what it's become. Microsoft in 2018 is a lot more like IBM than it is like Apple. They're just doing different things now. And I get it. It's frustrating and maybe it's even a little bit sad. You can imagine an alternate history where Microsoft didn't completely fail at phones and is taking on Android and I don't know, where the Xbox isn't getting completely housed by the PS4. But just because Microsoft isn't making a phone doesn't mean that it's not relevant. It's trying to win with Azure cloud services and IoT and Microsoft 365 and a bunch of other buzzwords that you maybe don't feel are all that applicable to you. It's not as exciting, but Nadella at Microsoft is trying to focus on what's working. And I want an OS that works with whatever phone that I have. And I want a company to focus on the ethics of AI from the jump instead of waiting until after it screws up an election and then apologizing for it. If we're gonna have AI and drones and IoT and everything else, we need real competition to keep everybody in check. But there is that gap between what success means for Microsoft now and in some other alternate universe that's just not in the cards anymore. And the funny thing is nobody at Microsoft really seems to be sweating that gap. There's plenty of other technology to fill it. And this new Microsoft is trying to work with that technology instead of against it. Hey everybody, thanks so much for watching. And I wanna know, what do you think of this new Microsoft? Let me know in the comments and then head over to the Verge Science YouTube channel, especially if you like things like rockets or mold. If you like mold, it's really cool.

Look around a city and you'll notice the headphones. Everyone wears them, usually for hours at a time, and all our moms warn us not to listen to our headphones too loudly. But how bad is it really for us to listen all day? How much do I really need to worry about my ears? So of course our moms are right. It turns out loud music damages your hearing, but you likely won't notice any tangible effects until it's too late. In fact, any persistent noise affects your ears. Can headphones cause hearing loss? Absolutely. That's Dr. Samantha Ann, an ENT who specializes in pediatric care. So if you're blasting music or even podcasts all day long, you're going to be putting your ears at risk and you can't fix hearing loss. Once you lose the hearing loss because of noise exposure, there's no going back. You don't repair it. There's no getting it back. I called Dr. John Ogoli, an ENT and chair at USC, to learn more about how we're all ruining our hearing. So you can damage the sensory hair cells in the inner ear, or you can damage the nerves, the nerve that carries the sound from the hair cell to the brain. You know, if you listen to sounds that are too loud, then they die. And as far as we know, they don't regenerate. You also probably won't even know you're damaging your hearing because it often happens slowly and subtly. Doctors often suggest a hearing test to establish a baseline, but I'm sure you haven't had a recent hearing test. I definitely haven't. The only real obvious sign of damage is once you have ringing in your ears, aka tinnitus. That's not good because that means your hearing has been significantly damaged. Plus, ringing is obviously super annoying. All right, so we're killing our baby ear hairs and maybe damaging our nerve endings. Fantastic. But is all sound bad for us? That can't be possible, right? If you're listening to a really loud sound, the time you can listen to it is less. Or if it's a medium level sound, then you can listen to it much longer. He and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have some concrete decibel recommendations. If you listen to something at 85 decibels, for example, you can safely do so for eight hours. This is like hearing a garbage disposal blender or dishwasher for eight hours. It's not so bad. At 95 decibels, you'll only get four safe hours of listening. That's slightly louder than a motorcycle that's 25 feet away. Imagine that for four hours. It's brutal. You want to almost never hear a chainsaw, which can top out at 120 decibels. Now, I recognize that most of us don't think in decibel levels. I'm impressed if you do. But if you're curious, apps do exist to measure your decibel level outputs, although there are other ways to measure decibel outputs that are more abstract. General guidelines, keep it at a comfortable level, should not be heard around you. And then, you know, if you take it off and you're hearing ringing or the sound is a little bit muffled, like when you come out of a huge concert, for example, and you have a little bit of ringing and muffled sound for a while, that's actually damage to the hearing. Of course, our headphones can affect this problem too. Noise isolation, which is when our headphones block out ambient sound because of the seal they create, can help reduce the need for louder music. Noise cancellation, which electronically counteracts outside noise, can help too. The two taken together might make a big difference. When used properly to lower the levels of decibels that you're playing, noise-canceling headphones are not a bad thing. They could be helpful. Dr. Oghalai says regular old earbuds might be the worst, as does Dr. Anne. The type of earbuds that kind of sit in the bowl of your ear that you can still hear outside sounds are probably, in my mind, some of the worst ones you could have. Both agree that noise cancellation can help, although if you're using noise cancellation as an excuse to tone everything out and then turn up your music, don't do that. That's really bad. Okay, so I wanted to see how loudly I listen to music. So we went out into the world to see how loud New York City truly is. We used a sound level meter to detect the outside volume level and then looked at how I adjusted my volume on my iPhone and turned. We tested one over-the-ear pair, one noise-canceling, one noise-isolating, AirPods, noise-canceling earbuds, and on-ear headphones. The subway was super loud whenever trains were present, and sometimes it even reached up to 100 decibels, but it wasn't too bad when there were no trains in the station. The outside city was about as loud as when there were no subways in the station, but sometimes it did get a little bit louder, like when an ambulance drove by. And the office was always more or less silent. Obviously, this all affected how loud I needed to turn up my music, but all the headphones stuck to a clear pattern I've used, regardless of where I was. I had to turn my regular over-the-ear headphones up the highest, as well as my AirPods. The noise-isolating headphones and noise-canceling headphones really did a good job keeping external sounds out, which led me to keep the volume lower than I had to with other pairs. But even with these noise-canceling and noise-isolating headphones, the subway station volume was nearly double that of the office. This all makes sense. But as the doctors warned, we could easily overdo it with volume, especially when the headphones are able to keep sounds out. All we can do to take care of our ears is be mindful. Maybe give up on your vanity and wear earplugs at concerts, because you never ever want to hear that ringing. If you're a parent, you can often set volume controls for your kids so that they don't exceed a certain decibel level. It's okay to use the headphones, but just be smart about it. Be sensible. Dr. Oghalai thinks the future might actually be bright when it comes to hearing loss. Better headphone technology could reduce the amount of damage we do. It's actually going to get better over our lifetimes, because I think headphones have gotten better. If he has hope, so do I.

We've had smartphones for about 10 years, but between all the social media networks and notifications, there's a sense that they're starting to take over our lives. Now I have an iPhone 6 and it's a pretty good phone. The problem is I spend a lot of time on it, scrolling through Twitter, Instagram, and whatever else. So to help me deal with my iPhone addiction, I decided to play around with some more minimalist phones. That includes the Unihertz Jelly, the Nokia 3310, the Punk'd MP-01, and the Lite phone. I'm going to head to Brooklyn's Prospect Park to see how disconnected I can get. This is the Jelly, a tiny little Android smartphone. Unihertz, the creators call it impossibly small, amazingly cute, and totally functional. Only two of those things are true, but I'm kind of getting ahead of myself. First thing you'll notice about the Jelly is just how small it is. At three and a half inches in length, it fits into the palm of my hand. It costs $125, it runs on Android 7, has a 1.1 gigahertz processor, and has front and rear facing cameras that are 8 and 2 megapixels, which isn't that great. The phone runs on 4G network and has dual SIM cards. Now because of the thickness, a lot of people thought it had a slide out keyboard, which it doesn't, but it does have a two and a half inch touchscreen that's fully functional. Back to those two truths from the line. The Jelly is impossibly small and amazingly cute, and there's just something cool about having the full functionality of a smartphone in such a small package. Scrolling through an Instagram live video on such a tiny screen is just kind of fun. And if you want to disconnect, there's a purpose to the smallness. With the screen so small, it adds a level of friction that we're not typically used to, so I found myself reading less and actually just pulling my phone out less entirely. But the Jelly's small size actually threatens its functionality. Using the Jelly's dimple sized keyboard was almost impossible, and I kept making tons of mistakes. In the end, I started texting less because I wanted to make less typos. The Jelly's other big drawback is battery life. Downloading just a few apps made my phone hot, and I lost almost 20% of my battery. At 83%, it told me I only had four hours of life left, which meant that I had to carry on this huge battery pack all day long just to make it through the day. And if you want to use the phone less, maybe that's not such a bad thing. But if you really want to disconnect, you might want to ditch your smartphone for a feature phone. The Nokia 3310 is one of the most iconic and popular phones of all time, and in 2017 the company re-released it as part of its nostalgia driven marketing push. Now, the new phone benefits from a larger color screen and a more bubbly design than its brick-like predecessor. It has a two megapixel camera in the back and runs on Nokia's proprietary OS. It comes with the classic 2002 era skeleton crew of apps like a calculator, a calendar, and obviously Snake. Unlike the Jelly, it has pretty good battery life, about six and a half hours of talk time and 650 hours of standby time. And it's cheap. You can get one for 60 bucks. You'll notice the home screen has a couple of new additions including a Facebook and Twitter button, but open them up and you get stuck in Nokia's weird web client that you have to navigate with a clunky directional pad. It's so hard to use that eventually I just gave up, and maybe if you're trying to disconnect, that's not really a problem. Moving over to the Nokia also comes with another big shift, and that's going from a full keyboard to T9. And if you're like me, you haven't used T9 in a while and it takes some getting used to. It can definitely be clunky, but if you're trying to text less, it works. T9 is too slow to text bomb, and eventually, you might just stop texting altogether. If you really want to get intentional about minimalist phones, you might want to check out Punk's MP-01 phone. Punk means period or stop in German, and it's a Swiss company that makes minimalist products. A lot of times when people see the MP-01 for the first time, they think it looks like a calculator, but I kind of actually like the design. It comes in three colors, brown, black, and white. It's four and a half inches tall. It has Gorilla Glass and a fiberglass reinforced body, so it feels sturdy in the hand. Navigating the phone is actually pretty easy because it only does two things, and it has buttons to navigate towards them, and that's texting and calling. The only hitch is that it costs $230, which is a lot for a phone that only does two things. And of those two things, it doesn't do one of them very well, and that's texting. So most phones, when you text, they create a thread, but the MP-01 actually breaks it up like email. It's an inbox, sent, draft, etc., which is really confusing and kind of a pain in the ass. And the phone did a pretty bad job of capitalizing my sentences when I text, which is really pretty basic stuff. It kind of feels like the perfect phone for somebody who can afford to hire someone else to take care of the rest of their lives. Oh, and did I mention that it only runs on a 2G network? And T-Mobile is one of the few carriers that still supports 2G in the US? And they're going to phase it out by 2020, all of which makes MP-01's claim that the phone is a timeless device feel kind of empty. If there's one phone that really represents the minimalist phone movement, it's the Lite phone, a business card-sized device that you can either tether to your phone or use independently. It costs $150, and it literally only does one thing, and that's make phone calls. New phones try to dazzle you with big, bright displays and bezel-less design, but not the Lite phone. The Lite phone really doesn't want any of your attention. It's a beautiful device, and a lot of people I showed it to didn't even believe it worked, but it works exactly as advertised. And there was something freeing knowing that I could leave the house just with this and reach somebody if I really needed to. At least, I hope I could, because if I'm being honest, people don't really pick up their phones anymore. I mean, I make one phone call a day, maybe, but I'm texting all the time, either through Messenger or Slack or Twitter, and that makes the Lite phone feel like an experiment more than a viable product, an effort to gauge whether people would really be interested in such a minimal device. And apparently they are. In 2018, the company announced Lite phone 2, a 4G version that would have E-Ink display, a full keyboard, and possibly even some features like maps and music. But loading smartphone features onto such a minimal device is probably going to have problems of its own. I spent a lot of time with these phones over the last couple of weeks, and what I've realized is that I don't really want a phone that limits my communication or one that makes me make more phone calls. In 2018, a lot of our communication happens over text, and I don't really think that's such a bad thing. What I don't really need is all the social media networks, all the notifications, the short battery life, and the bezel-less screen. That's what kind of makes phones overwhelming, not a text from my mom or a friend. What I really want is a smartphone functionality stripped of all the gizmos. Unfortunately, a lot of these minimalist phones threw out the texting baby with the social media bathwater. So until they figure that out, I'm just going to delete my social media apps and keep my iPhone. Fox.com has a video that explains how addictive smartphones could be. Click here to watch it and find out how necessary a minimalist phone could be for you.

So here's a question. Do you want to know what I carry in my bag? I mean specifically when I'm going to a really stressful thing, which for me is a live blog or like a hands-on situation. I mean I'm a tech writer. I get to use pretty much whatever I want. I'm kind of lucky. And so what I have in here must be the best stuff, right? Actually not so much. So here's all the stuff that I carry into a live blog and as I unpack my bag I want to tell a really cheesy story. So there's this movie from the 90s called The Ghost in the Darkness and it's, I don't know, it's racist, it's terrible, it's colonialism. Anyway in this movie Val Kilmer is trying to build a bridge and he turns out there's a lion that's messing with the village and so he has to shoot the lion. And so there's this moment where he has to shoot the lion and his gun doesn't work. And Michael Douglas, the grizzled veteran, rolls in and says, what happens? Missed fire. And then Michael Douglas looks at him and he says to Val Kilmer, you went into battle with an unproven rifle? And I know it's terrible but I always think about it. When you're going into a high stress event you actually need to know how to use your tools, they need to be tested and you need to be ready to go. And so all of this stuff right here that you're looking at, these are my proven rifles. So I could talk about this stuff for hours but I've already sort of posted what's in your bag and so I think it'd be more interesting for me to bring in Viren and he can talk about what he carries in his bag for doing hands-ons and we can just have a conversation about why all this stuff is interesting. So hey, hey, how's it going Peter? Awesome how are you? All right this might take a minute. Okay. Okay. One, two, three. All right. Okay I think that's it. Wow. Yeah. All right so let's start, obviously you're a video director, you've got lots of lenses and a camera here so why this thing instead of, I don't know, a super dragon red or some little tiny thing or your phone or whatever. So yeah kind of going off to your point that you know you need a proven rifle, things that you trust and things that you know how to operate and just easy to operate. So C100 shoots great video but you don't need 4k, you need smaller size files, you want to get it up and quick. Same thing with lenses, we don't have the super sharp best lenses, this is a 17-55. What's good about it is that it's image stabilizer. Okay. Because we shoot on actually, let me grab it, on monopods not tripods. Okay. You got to keep them stable. Same thing actually here, we don't have the nicest fluid drag you know video head, this one is solid because it's not too heavy and we walk around in these events. And then we have the wide angle because if you watch our channel we love our wide angles. Yeah. And macro for any you know connectors, headphone jacks, although those are extinct. Right. And so on. So for me, like you'll see I have an iPad here which is like a super don't lie blog from an iPad. But I have it because if I need to it's a backup. But also I have a cellular one and so when I go to an event we usually have a myfy and then I have a cellular on this and then I have project fy on this which can get me sprint and then I also have a third, an iPhone which will be on Verizon. And so I have at least three ways to get online in case the local wifi dies which the local wifi always dies right. So you carry a wifi as well. So it's like having redundancy is super important for me. Also I see you live the dongle life as well. This is my case with all the dongles. It's so well organized. Yeah so this is actually for the iPad. You can use that one. Okay. Two thunderbolts, two USBs, HDMI, I just have it because I don't know why. And Ethernet, USB 3, USB 3, Apple Watch charger. Headphones 3.5mm male and female. And micro USB just in case. For me the process of getting to know a new piece of technology is like first thing you do is you learn how to use it. Every time I pick up this camera I have to relearn how to set up bracketed shooting and I have to ask you every time because I suck at it. But after a while you get to a point where you feel like you're good at it. I actually think it's really important don't stop once you feel like you've mastered it. You need to start playing around with it at that point. You need to start experimenting, trying new stuff, seeing what works, seeing what you suck at, seeing what's crazy and weird. And then when you go and you're in the high stress environment you don't do all that experimental stuff but it's sort of subliminally in the back of your mind. So you do the thing that you're good at but when you run into a tough spot you have run into tough spots before because you were experimenting with stuff that you weren't able to do and like one of those things might actually help you solve that problem. Alright one more question. What's this? It's a Nintendo Switch. What? That's a Nintendo Switch. When do you have time at an event to play Nintendo? Well if there's a surprise concert by U2 or something like that. Oh then yeah you're not going to want to watch that. It's fair now. At least it doesn't download U2 music onto it. Okay so my take away here is not that we're trying to teach you how to do a live blog or do a hands on. The point here is you don't have to have the best stuff or even necessarily the right stuff. You just have to have stuff that you're really comfortable with and that you've got a bunch of experience using so that when you go in you don't panic. True it kind of reminds me of the videos that you see on YouTube when they give a little Barbie camera to a professional photographer, send him out in the field and he comes back with this glorious stuff. You basically know how to use a camera, you have a structure for the job you're doing hands on and you just kind of follow the same formula. So whichever instrument you use doesn't really matter. Way back in the day I would use to talk about how the difference between a coder and a non-techy person is when a coder runs into a problem they don't be like, ah all technology sucks. They just go and Google and try and figure out the answer and literally everybody can do that. So that sort of can-do attitude applies to really stressful situations where you have to use technology and the only way to be able to handle that and not be totally frozen by technology failing is to have spent a bunch of time using it, getting better at it and it's not about being the best at it. It's about having experimented with it and having experienced failures and dealt with it so that when you experience failures in a stressful situation you're fine. You're like, oh well I've solved problems before I can just do it again. Yeah well been there. I mean we all know what the lesson here is right? Uh huh. You're going to make me say it? Yeah. Don't go into battle with an unproven raffle. Raffle, raffle, raffle. Thanks so much for watching. If you enjoyed this video I've got another video that I think you're going to like even more. It's about slime mold which sounds weird but it's actually amazing because it was made by the folks over at Verge Science who have a whole new YouTube channel and you should definitely click somewhere to watch it because you're going to love it.

Hey y'all, it's me Ashley Carmen. I'm here with LG's brand new G7 ThinQ phone, the newest in its G series line. It has a 6.1 inch QHD plus display. LCD screen though, not OLED unfortunately. You'll notice that there's a notch there, which that notch can disappear actually. You can turn it on or off, so if you want edge to edge you can do that. If not, you can disable it. Inside it has a Snapdragon 845 processor with 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of expandable storage if you use a micro SD. It's also IP68 water resistant and dust resistant, and it has a 3000 milliamp hour battery that supports both wireless charging standards. Alright, so let's talk a little bit about the camera system. On back you'll notice there's a dual rear facing camera system. Both sensors are 16 megapixel. One of them is ultra wide angle supporting, which LG has used on other models, but this one, LG says, should be a little less distorted at the ends. On the front you have an 8 megapixel front facing camera, and all of these cameras support what LG says is its Smart AI camera system. The AI smart camera is supposed to help you take really great photos, so it'll look at the scene you're taking, supposedly recognize the scene and what's in it, like flowers or people or food, and then pick a filter for you to make your photo look its best. And yes, this has been kind of controversial with all the rumors going around, but LG has indeed put a dedicated Google Assistant button on the side of the phone right below the volume controls, similarly to Samsung's Bixby button. The Google Assistant button cannot be programmed, so you're stuck with it, although LG is saying that maybe in the future, depending on feedback, they'll let you change it up. So like other phones on the market, like the iPhone and a bunch of Android devices, LG is shipping its phones with a notch, but unlike those other phones, G7 actually lets you toggle the notch on and off if you don't like it. You can customize what you see in the notches placed, so let's say I don't like a full black bezel, I can actually turn the bezel part around the notch into a rainbow gradient or another type of grayscale gradient. I think this is kind of gimmicky, but you know what? I like that you get the option. You don't have to use the notch if you don't like it. LG is also preserving the headphone jack, so congrats to all of you out there who love the headphone jack. The reason it seems to be doing this is because it has a support for something called DTS-X Virtual Surround Sound, which is a virtual surround sound system that you might see in home speakers and the like, but if you use wired headphones or wired speakers, you should, LG says, get more of a cinematic experience when listening to music or watching videos. It also maintains the Quad DAC that LG is known for. The phone will ship with Android Oreo. We unfortunately don't have pricing because LG says it's leaving that to the carriers to announce. We also don't have availability just yet, but it should be coming soon. Hey, thanks for watching.

Over the past two months, Facebook has been shaken by the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal, which ultimately saw Mark Zuckerberg called before Congress to defend Facebook's data collection practices. At the same time, critics are raising hard questions about Facebook's impact on society, with some calling it a breeding ground for misinformation and hate. Zuckerberg started F8 with a speech that addressed those questions head on. Now, I know that it hasn't been easy being a developer these last couple of months, and that's probably an understatement. But what I can assure you is that we're hard at work making sure that people don't misuse this platform so you can all keep building things that people love. In the midst of that crisis of trust, Facebook is rolling out one of its most socially ambitious projects in years, a dating app. We are announcing a new set of features coming soon around dating. Now this is going to be for building real long-term relationships, not just hookups. Where most dating apps focus on matching specific people, Facebook's system focuses on common events and groups, giving you something to do on your first date. Facebook also promises not to match you with people who are already your friends, an awkward situation that's unavoidable on most dating apps. And I know a lot of you are going to have questions about this, so I want to be clear that we have designed this with privacy and safety in mind from the beginning. Your friends aren't going to see your profile. You're only going to be suggested people who are not your friends, who have opted into dating, who fit your preferences, although I can't promise that you're going to get email. It's a really ambitious project, potentially opening up a whole new side of Facebook. But it also takes a lot of trust. The new app is entirely opt-in, and Facebook says it's built it with privacy in mind, but it's hard not to worry that some dating profile pic won't find its way back onto your Facebook wall, or some old Facebook post won't somehow make it onto the app. Do we really trust Facebook to handle this right? At the same time, there are already a lot of dating apps, including ones like Tinder that use Facebook's social graph to connect people. If you want an app that knows your Facebook friends but isn't run by Facebook, you have a lot of options. So how much of an advantage does Facebook really have here? Facebook clearly thinks users will trust them here, and you can see why. The company's had a lot of bad headlines, but people aren't leaving Facebook, and they're making more money than ever. At the most recent quarterly earnings, Facebook reported adding half a million regular users every day. So by the numbers, it looks like Zuckerberg's apology tour is working. But if Facebook's bond with users is starting to turn sour, you'd expect it to hurt projects like this the most. It's really hard to launch a new app, even for a company as powerful as Facebook. Past developer conferences are littered with good ideas that just never took off. It's too early to say if Facebook's dating app will be one of those failures, but if it is, it might be because after so many bad scandals and bad excuses, users decided they just didn't want to risk it. The thing is, it would have been really easy for Facebook to delay this announcement, pushing it closer to launch or outside the F8 cycle entirely. But Facebook didn't do that. They bet that the hangover from Cambridge Analytica just wouldn't be a problem. And they made that bet with dating, one of the most private and sensitive things we do as people. Now we're going to find out if they bet right. Thanks for watching. Would you trust Facebook's new dating app? Let us know in the comments. And we just launched a new Verge Science YouTube channel. We're going to do some really awesome stuff there, so go subscribe.

Welcome to F8! In 2016, we were slow to identify Russian interference. We're doing more! We're requiring everyone running political and issue ads or running large pages to be verified with a government ID. We're making ads more transparent. By the end of this year, we will have 20,000 people working on security and content review at Facebook. We are focused on fighting fake news more broadly. So a lot of the work over the last year and a half has been bringing on more and more fact-checking partners all around the world in different countries who speak all of the different languages that we need to cover. I also want to talk about data privacy. What happened with Cambridge Analytica was a major breach of trust. So we need to make sure that this never happens again. So we're taking a number of steps here. First, as you all know, we're restricting the data that developers will be able to request from people. Second, we need to make sure that we find any other bad apps that are out there. So we're currently in the process of investigating every single app that had access to a large amount of people's information before we made these big changes in 2014. So we're working on a simple control where you can clear your browsing history. What you've clicked on, the websites you've visited, and so on. And we're going to call it Clear History. You're going to be able to use this tool to see the information about the apps and websites you've interacted with. You'll be able to clear all this information from your account, and you'll even be able to turn it off, having this information stored with your account going forward. So today, we are announcing a new set of features coming soon around dating. This is going to be for building real long-term relationships, not just hookups. If you want, you can make a dating profile. We have designed this with privacy and safety in mind from the beginning. You're only going to be suggesting people who are not your friends. This is Jennifer. She's just moved to Chicago. She's interested in dating. The first thing she would do here is set up a dating profile. Once she's done that, she can go browse events and groups. This will let her see things in the city and groups related to her interests. Then she can browse people who are there, say she wants to talk to Jay. She'll start a conversation with a photo from his profile. Then if he wants to respond, they'll do so in a private messaging inbox connected to the profile. Now let's talk about Instagram. We're announcing video chat in Instagram. You're going to be able to just tap on a new camera icon, right, in the top of any direct thread that you have, and you're going to be able to video chat one-on-one or with groups. You're going to be able to minimize the video while you're chatting and using Instagram. So here I am in Instagram. First, I'll swipe over to direct, because that's where I already have conversations with my closest friends. Now let's say it's Saturday, and I'm trying to figure out where we should go to brunch. I tap this button to start a video chat, and soon we're all able to hang out together. Now let's pretend I'm looking for some inspiration for where we should go. I tap this button, and soon the video player is minimized. I swipe on over to feed, and at this point people can still see and hear me, but don't worry, they can't see my screen. Now once I find somewhere I want to go, I hit share, and then I send it back to the thread so my friends can give their input. Now I can share a sticker of whatever I'm listening to directly to Instagram from my Spotify app. Now anyone can also share their latest GoPro footage directly to IG as well. Now Explore is organized into topic channels based on your personal interests and tastes. We're taking our comment filtering technology even further by launching a bullying filter that hides language intended to harass or upset people. Now let's talk about WhatsApp. We're announcing that we're bringing group video calling to WhatsApp soon too. We're excited to share that group calling is also coming to WhatsApp in the coming months ahead, where you can get together with friends and family regardless of where you are in the world. The big news I have to share today is Oculus Go is shipping today. Next is Oculus Venues, which is going to be your ticket to live social events in VR like concerts, sports, comedy nights, and movie screenings. You get to sit in this awesome VR amphitheater with thousands of people and watch premium events together like soccer live in 180 degrees. We have a great lineup of live event partners coming to Oculus Venues, live concerts from AEG, live games from the MLB and the NBA, movie screenings from Lionsgate, plus comedy nights and tons of entertainment from Next VR. That's Oculus Go. For $199, you get access to over 1,000 apps and games. We're also launching a version of Oculus Go with double the storage memory, 64 GB for $249. Now, if you have some photos from your childhood home, we can now use computer vision to fill in the gaps with this pointillism effect and recreate the rooms of your childhood home where you grew up. So you're going to be able to go into VR with your family and visit and feel like you were right there. It feels like you were in a dream. It is wild. So this work of mapping out immersive spaces is just another important step on the path to creating this real feeling of presence. So first let's talk about creating moments. We're doing this with interactive 3D posts on Facebook. With one tap, you can bring a 3D object into Facebook camera using our AR technology. This means you can grab a 3D object right out of News Feed and bring it straight into your world. And it's launching next month. Moving objects into VR takes this experience to an even more immersive and meaningful level. With a simple 360 photo of her kitchen and that 3D mixer object, the virtual gen can give me a tour. This summer, we're rolling out 3D photos. You simply take a picture with your smartphone and upload it to Facebook as a 3D photo. So let's do this. Let's keep building together. There's never been a more important time for it.

Do you sit with your laptop on your lap or are you more of a desk person? I'm almost always at a desk working but sometimes I decide to work from my couch or bed and in those cases my laptop sits on my lap. I do worry though, could my laptop be killing my eggs? Maybe if you're a dude is it affecting your sperm? I really don't know. So of course I took my questions to some experts. The good news is that laptop use shouldn't have any negative impact on fertility. That's Dr. John Amory, an endocrinologist at the University of Washington Medical Center who specializes in male fertility. And Dr. Sarah Vaughn, an OBGYN and infertility fellow at Stanford, says the same thing about fertility for women. At this point there haven't been enough real definitive studies for us to recommend to patients against using laptops. Alright, so if this is the case why are we all so worried about these laptops? People's main concerns when it comes to laptops are external heat and radiation. Let's talk about heat first because that's real. Radiation isn't really a thing but we'll get into it. So women and men's bodies handle heat differently. Men's testicles are on the outside of the body because they're sensitive to temperature and require a cooler environment for sperm production. Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a urologist and professor at Stanford, explained to me how the heat a laptop produces could affect the male body. Testicles are outside the body because they need to be a little cooler than the rest of the body. So anything that warms them up can be an issue and laptops can certainly do that. He cited an older study that showed that laptops could raise the testicle temperature a centigrade but that was a long time ago and laptops have improved since then. Still, I generally tell men to kind of avoid it. Dr. Eisenberg isn't super worried about laptops and their effect on sperm but if someone struggles with fertility it might be worth eliminating even the smallest of risk factors. So it's unlikely that the laptop is going to be the whole story but again as we're kind of putting together a plan to sort of improve things it can be one component. Both he and Dr. Amory brought up an issue with hot tubs. They say that studies show that a man sitting in a 110 degree hot tub for 30 minutes will experience a decrease in their sperm count. The temperature affects their testicles and because sperm takes two to three months to make they might not see the results of this issue until months later. But Dr. Amory says that's extreme heat for a prolonged period. Your laptop doesn't get up to 110 degrees. Temperatures that you would achieve having a laptop even if it were close enough to your testicles and most laptops I'm padding my thighs but you know you mostly use a laptop if I'm at five. The amount of radiant heat that goes is delivered to the testicles is well below that dose. I would say missed. For women their ovaries which house their eggs are inside the body so that insulates them from external heat factors. They can sit in a hot tub and not worry about the state of their eggs. Although pregnant women should not sit in hot tubs. But the ovaries unlike the testicles are not external. They're very much internal. They're very much protected by the abdomen and the pelvis in a way that testicles are not. So I don't worry too much about the theoretical risk. It's certainly not something that I bring up with patients. Doctors even recommend that women use heating pads when they have cramps during their period so laptops heat won't negatively affect them. In fact maybe it could even help with cramps. Maybe. Because ovaries are just so protected and the heat you know that we use from heating pads has been used for a very long time. Again these recommendations change once a woman is pregnant. Dr. Vaughn notes that pregnant women shouldn't put direct heat over the baby which kind of seems like common sense but you know I gotta clarify I don't want any of you pregnant women putting heat on your baby so please do not do that. Okay so the heat from laptops won't affect women's eggs and probably won't really affect men's sperm. Although Dr. Eisenberg still says men should use a desk if they're extremely worried. But what about radiation? The amount of radiation that you could get from a laptop is really pretty minimal. It's probably about the same amount of radiation you would get flying across the country. That's right you're exposed to some radiation when you fly and you're a fine healthy human. Dr. Vaughn said something along the same lines. But my guess is that laptops emit radiation that's probably on the level of the radiation that you just get exposed to when you're in the world. She also said women are allowed to have x-rays even when they're pregnant so a laptop can't be worse than that. You're probably fine. Dr. Eisenberg though is always worried. I certainly talk to men about it sort of a theoretical risk and again as we're looking at kind of the whole picture it may contribute somewhat so I certainly if it's easy and they can do it it's probably better for the laptop to be on a desk rather than in the lab. He basically sees it as why risk it. We don't think men's sperm will be destroyed by a laptop on their lap but it's also not that hard to just use a desk really. What you really need to worry about are actual cum behaviors that affect sperm. There are other threats to male fertility that are much less esoteric than laptops. We know that you know drug use particularly opiates will decrease for production. You know marijuana is an issue for male fertility. You know alcoholism is not great for fertility. I'll probably keep using my laptop on my lap because my eggs are nice and safe tucked into my body. They're chilling. They're doing great but if you worry about your fertility or have experienced issues particularly if you're a man maybe invest in a comfortable reclining desk. It's like you're laying down but your laptop seat isn't directly on you. A regular desk works just fine too. Overall laptops don't appear to be an issue for fertility so go ahead be lazy in bed with your laptop. There are other threats to male fertility that are much less esoteric than laptops. We know that you know drug use particularly opiates will decrease for production. You know marijuana.

Hey, it's Casey from The Verge, and these are Spectacles version 2.0. Now, if you've followed Spectacles history, you know it's been a little bit rocky. Snap wound up writing down more than $40 million because it made more of these than they could sell. And even worse from Snap's perspective is that people who bought Spectacles didn't really use them for very long. According to a report, less than 50% of people who bought these were still using them a month later. So, why is Snap trying again? Well, they think they've managed to solve customers' biggest complaints about version 1. That they were too bulky, that it was too hard to transfer videos from the glasses to your phone, and that they couldn't take photos. Here's version 1. And you can see that this is just a heavier version of Spectacles. The piece where the arm meets the lens has a really kind of bulky piece where all of the internals of the camera are located. And here I have version 2. And as soon as you pick it up, you notice the difference in weight. That piece where all the internals of the cameras are located is much smaller, and it's much more compact. And that piece where all the internals of the cameras are located is much smaller, and it just generally feels lighter when you put them on your face. Even with all the miniaturization that Snap did for this version of Spectacles, battery life is about the same. 70 video snaps with even more snaps if you're taking photos. And the case is much smaller this time around too. So here I have the case for version 1, and here's the case for version 2. A lot smaller, a lot lighter, and if you have a big pocket, this version probably actually fits in it. Spectacles still work the same. This case actually is how you charge your Spectacles. So just by resting the glasses inside, it has a little contact point here where it charges your glasses up to 4 times on a single charge of the case. And to figure out how much battery life you have left, you just double tap on the lens and it'll show you. By how many lights go around the circle. The recording works the same as well. You have a big button on top, you tap it, it records 10 seconds of a snap. If you want to extend your snap, you can tap it two more times for a snap that's up to 30 seconds long. The new feature this time around though is photo mode. So the first version only took video, this version takes photos. To do that, all you do is press down for a second, wait for the blink, and then release your finger. You've taken a high definition photo. And I should say something about definition too. Last time around you had the option of shooting in standard definition. This time around both your photos and videos will all be shot in HD. Pixel density is about 25% greater than it was in version 1. Of course, a signature feature of Spectacles was that it shot videos in a circular format. And as you would move your phone around, you could shift the perspective as you were looking. That returns this time around for both photos and videos. And so when you go to export them, you'll see that all of your photos and videos have a little white border around them. Another nice feature of version 2 is that these things are water resistant. So you can jump into a pool, jump into the ocean, and not worry that they're going to break. And the case is splash proof, so you can go ahead and bring that to the pool and just not worry about it. Snapchat has also worked on the transfer process. If you own version 1, you know the worst thing about them was how long it took to get your snaps from your glasses onto your phone. Snaps worked on the transfer technology, and it now says that the transfer is 3 to 4 times faster than it was originally. The basic method for doing it is still the same. After you pair your Spectacles, you go into memories where your old snaps are stored, tap an import button. Then your phone has to join a Wi-Fi network set up by Spectacles, and only then will the snaps transfer from the glasses onto your phone. It goes a little bit faster than that makes it sound, but it's definitely not painless. My dream version of Spectacles would transfer automatically. These Spectacles just aren't there yet. I was a fan of the original Spectacles, even though they didn't sell that well. But it's also true that I didn't use mine for very long after the first month that I bought them. Are these going to be any different? Well, I don't know. On one hand, they look really good. I like some of the design details here. There's this kind of tapering color where it moves from black into clear as you move down the length of the arm. There are two microphones in this version, which means that there will be less wind noise if you're recording outdoors. And frankly, they just look like designer sunglasses, which they should be. They cost $150. That's 20 more dollars than they cost last time. Also, if you use prescription or polarized lenses and you live in the United States, when you go to buy your Spectacles on Spectacles.com, you can specify that you want those lenses and Snapchat's working with a third-party provider to let you get those lenses put directly into your Spectacles when they ship to your house. So on the other hand, I'm not sure this is the product that's going to launch Snap all the way into the mainstream. This is a really nice refinement over version one. But if you're not a heavy user of Snapchat, it's not immediately clear to me why you would rush out and buy them. Still, I think Snap is smart to bet on hardware. Its competitors like to copy every single thing it does. And if Snap wants to stay relevant, it has to be different. Say what you will about Spectacles. There's nothing else like them.

Hey, this is Nat with The Verge, and I am here with the new Gmail, which has got its biggest redesign in years. It's not supposed to be better at managing tasks and security, which is great news for the 1.4 billion people who use Gmail every day. So the biggest change here you'll notice is on the right side with different icons for calendar, keep, and tasks. Tasks is sort of the newest thing that you'll see in Gmail. You can add different tasks by just typing it in, or you can drag an email that you want to add, for example, this one, and you can click this to get context of what you're looking at, and also edit it so that you can add a date and integrate that with your calendar as well. In addition to these three apps, you can also click the plus button for the G Suite Marketplace, which has a bunch of different apps that you can add to your taskbar. So at first glance, the new Gmail is super cool and has a lot of white space, but it also does look super busy. For example, you can actually change the width of the sidebar on the right, and also all your attachments on default view now appear inline, which is not my favorite thing because now it takes up a lot more space, fewer emails are visible at first glance. The point of all this, however, is that the attachments are kind of there, so you don't have to click the email to get to the attachment. Now, if you don't like all your attachments showing in file, you can always just go to display density and click comfortable or compact to get the paperclip back so that none of your files are showing at first glance. There are also other useful shortcuts. For example, you can just hover the email and you'll get a shortcut to either archive, delete, mark as read or unread, and the new button that says snooze. Now, this was previously available with inbox by Google, but now you can click snooze and pick a later time. It gives you some suggestions, or you can click your own date and time, or my favorite, someday. So these are all the new productivity tools, but the next most important thing with the new Gmail is security. You might remember last year where a bunch of Google users were hit with a Google Doc phishing attack. Now with the new Gmail, Google is going to be better highlighting these suspicious emails with a big red box that is a lot harder to overlook. There's also going to be a new confidential mode, which builds on features you might already be used to from apps like Snapchat and Instagram. For example, messages can now have an expiration date, which self-destructs after a certain amount of time, or you can revoke read privileges, which basically means you can unsend an email. You can also require two-factor authentication on individual emails so that before the recipient even opens it, they have to verify themselves. Now obviously that doesn't account for screenshotting emails, so it's not a foolproof method, but it is something. For business account, Google will also block forwarding, downloading, printing emails to prevent sensitive materials from getting out. So by now you're probably wondering, when am I going to get this new Gmail? Google isn't rolling this out by default at first, so to get it, you have to go to your settings cog, click it, and see if you have the new Gmail option. If it's enabled for you, it will be there. If it's not, just hang tight. They're still rolling it out globally, but it's going to take some time, so just be patient. And if you have a G Suite account, so that's if you use Gmail at work or at school, you want to contact the system administrator to make sure that they enable it so that you can turn it on from your settings cog. If you don't have the new Gmail yet, don't feel super left out. Some of the new features like confidential mode aren't even available yet, and it's going to be a while until Google rolls this out. In early May, however, Google I.O. will be taking place, so we can probably expect some more themes around increased security, getting things done more quickly, and a whole lot of new features to come with Android P. Thanks for watching. Let us know in the comments if you have the new Gmail yet and what you think of it. I'd love to hear more.

I've been making YouTube videos for a few years now, and every time I make a video, no matter what the subject is, people always ask me the exact same question. What's that watch you're wearing? It's different every time. This time it's a Fossil Q hybrid something or other, I don't know. But I like using Android phones, and I like wearing smartwatches, but when you use an Android phone and you wanna wear a smartwatch, your choices are actually kinda grim. There's so many of them, but none of them are really that good, so I'm trying to figure out what to do about that situation. Now, maybe the first question shouldn't be which smartwatch should I get if I use an Android phone? The first question should probably be do I need a smartwatch at all? Yeah, that's a totally fair question. For a lot of people, it's about fitness. It's about tracking your steps and tracking your exercise, but I don't know. That's not me. I care about steps, but I don't work out enough, and I don't need a smartwatch for that. For me, it's about notifications, and specifically, it's about treating them as ambient information instead of something that's constantly pestering me. I really like wearing a smartwatch because when my wrist buzzes or my phone buzzes, I can just glance down at my watch, see if it's something I care about or not, and move on with my day. I try to have the same relationship with all the information streaming into my phone that I do with just a clock. I can look at it when I need the information and ignore it when I don't. So if you're an Android user and you wanna have that same relationship with notifications that I do, what do you do? So the obvious answer should be if you have an Android phone, you should get an Android smartwatch, Android Wear. Except it's not called Android Wear anymore, it's called Wear OS, because Google wants everybody to know that it also works with an iPhone, but it really works better with Android. Anyway, the problem with Wear OS is Google hasn't done right by its users with this platform. There's a bunch of problems, actually. So the first one, Ron Amadio wrote a really good article a couple of months ago over at Ars Technica, pointing out that the vast majority of Wear OS watches use this ancient Qualcomm processor, the 2100, that hasn't been updated in two years and there's really nothing on the horizon. And what that means is if you go out and just buy an Android Wear watch, it's probably gonna be too slow, it's probably not gonna have great battery life, you're probably gonna have not a great experience. On top of that, if you just go out and buy an Android Wear watch, you're probably gonna buy it from the people that are making them these days, which are Google's fashion partners, like Fossil or Kate Spade or Michael Kors or whatever. And so you're paying a premium for this old technology. But even if you get past all of that, the basic experience of using a Wear OS watch doesn't hold up this year. They're kinda slow, the third party apps are like not that great if you can find them at all, and digging through the piles and piles of watch faces to find the one good one that you like just takes forever. It's really just a huge problem all around and I've just been waiting for Google to fix it. What I would like to do is tell you that I've used all of the available smart watches that work with Android and I picked the best one for most people and I've used a bunch of them, but I can't give you the best one for most people because I kind of don't think there is one. Instead, the best thing I can offer you is this decision tree. And your first decision is do you want a screen on your smart watch or not? If you do, you've got two branches. You've got Wear OS, which we just talked about, and we've got a couple of third party options that I like. If you don't care about a screen but you still want a smart watch, there's another branch over here called hybrid. And so I wanna go through these different options with you. Okay, so you want a screen. We've already gone over Wear OS. It's fine, but if that doesn't appeal to you, there is a brand new smart watch that just hit the scene. It's the Fitbit Versa and I don't love it. As a fitness watch, it's pretty solid. It fits into Fitbit's whole ecosystem, but I think it looks pretty terrible. The watch face options are even worse. The third party app support is non-existent. Battery life is great though, but as a general smart watch, I don't think it's good. A better option is the Samsung Gear line. This is the Gear Sport. And I like it a lot actually on the watch itself. It's got this rotating bezel so you can jam through your notifications really quickly. There's not great third party app support, but there's a little bit. The problem that I have with this is if you don't use a Samsung phone, in order to get this thing up and running, you have to install at least four different pieces of software, the Gear software, the notification thing, S Health, some other thing, and you could even get up to like six. And that's just a lot of Samsung crap on my phone and I don't love it. So the watch is fine. I think it's actually pretty good. It does most of the things right that Android Wear gets wrong. It's just, it's a lot of Samsung. Now the last branch on the decision tree is this hybrid watch. And so here's one that I just got. It's a Skagen again, and this is this fossil I've been wearing. They're basically the same watch. And the thing that's interesting about this is you don't get to see the content of your notification, but it can still count your steps and it can still show you a little bit of information. So when a text message comes in, I've configured this thing to have the minute hand point to the three, or when it's a calendar appointment, it points to the nine, or whatever. And so when my phone buzzes or my wrist vibrates, I can glance down at my watch and it'll point down to, I don't know, six. And I know in my head that that's a Slack message. I'll look at it later, but if it points at 12, it's a call and I should pull my phone out right now. The other reason I really like hybrid smartwatches is you don't have to charge the damn things every day. A battery in this thing could last anywhere from three to six months, depending on how many notifications you get. It's the watch I've been wearing the most lately. So that's the decision tree for smartwatches for Android users as far as I see it. The place where I've landed is I've mostly been using a hybrid smartwatch, but I don't know, I kinda wanna go back to Wear OS, which seems like a really bad choice, but I really like having the weather on my wrist and I really like seeing my next calendar appointment. And to do that, you need a screen. But even though it might be the right choice for me, I don't think I can recommend a Wear OS watch to really anybody else. There's the fact that the processor is really old, but more to the point, these watches aren't that cheap. Because Google partnered with all these fashion brands, it means that you're having to pay fashion brand prices. You're paying for the design and the brand name. And that extra money just doesn't seem worth it to me for a platform that I don't know where it's going. It's great that there are so many choices of different watch styles and different kinds of watch bands and all the other stuff that you can get with Android Wear. But if none of those choices are home run, then what's the point of having all that choice? I really hope that this year, Google could find a way to give better options to Android users when it comes to smartwatches, because looking around, it's way past time. Hey everybody, thank you so much for watching. And if you got this far, maybe jump down to the comments and let me know what is the most important thing for you in a smartwatch. For me, it was, I don't know, battery life for hybrids. Maybe it's something different for you.

you you You Hello and welcome to circuit breaker live the verges premiere and flagship Gadget show live on YouTube. I'm Ashley Carmen. I'm Paul Miller and Dami Lee is here Our girl brought so many things with her But first before we get to the things Dami has brought let me just tell you what we have going on for this show so Dami's here and then we're going to have a Massive crew that's going to come out and try out the spinning wheel of gadget wonderment, which is what I'm calling it This will turn I don't expect anyone to know what that means, but you'll see eventually. So this is gonna be a really great show I'm excited. Also, this is our last episode Probably ever yeah, I didn't mention that because I'm trying to keep the mood positive We're excited because we have the greatest gadget of all time, but next week we're not gonna be standing right here Yeah, all I'm saying, but we're still still be online the verge exists Breaker exists Ashley's making some amazing videos. If you go to the verge YouTube channel, we've got Yeah, it all exists. It just won't be live every week after this after right now. Yeah, okay We don't have a sad stuff. Maybe we'll talk about it later, but Dami Nintendo labo. Yeah, what? Oh, hey, so labo which was just released for 20 nice It's a set of like DIY cardboard accessories for the switch and a lot of people were kind of confused about it Cuz Nintendo is selling two kits right now. There's the $60 variety kit I'm sorry $70 which comes with five different games like this toy piano you can build right here or like a fishing rod And then there's also an $80 robot kit, which Paul is modeling right now And people were like, why is this cardboard so expensive? Like what the heck and the thing is you're not just paying for cardboard You're also paying for like the experience and it comes with like this game cartridge which has all the corresponding games for it But let's start with one of my favorites which is this toy piano here and I'm gonna explain how this all works Yes, but just to clarify because I was confused about this for a while You don't buy a labo and then buy a bunch of these different things There's a kit that is a bunch of stuff and then there's a kit that's a robot Yeah switch cartridges. Yeah, and it's all separate from your switch, which is a whole nother thing you buy. Yeah Okay So right now we have the variety kit cartridge in the switch right now and I'm gonna use that to demonstrate how this toy piano Works, um, it looks really impressive. Yeah, so basically The build guide says it takes what what I don't like three hours to build this But that's probably like assuming like you're building it with like a small child because this is really marketed towards kids This took Meg our production manager an adult It took her like an hour and a half to build and it's mostly like it's just so much folding and like you really got to Follow all the steps And yeah, all of this is individually folded cardboard. Like everything is cardboard You don't need scissors or glue or anything like they've engineered this so you can just build it like right out of the box Really cool looking. Um, so yeah, i'm going to go into the software here and go into the toy piano mode We're going to okay. So first you have to control or connect the controllers wirelessly Just wait for that to detect and this is important because Uh, the red controller has a ir camera right there and this picks up on Little ir stickers that are on the back of the keyboard here. So you look Right there. I can see them. Yeah, and those are stickers you have to put on yourself Yeah, so the kits all come with like a roll of like ir stickers and you just have to place them in the right positions Yeah, it's a lot of work and let me just stick this into the back of the piano here So when you um, like press a key It'll reveal itself to the camera telling the switch to make a sound And then we turn up the volume here I love how you slot the screen in. Yeah, so whoa right now it's on a mode for To make the keyboard sound like cats It's not like super musical. You can't really make music with this and Basically how that works. I just really feel bad for parents. I can just see it like a terrible child All day kind of a nightmare oh my god, but there's different Uh filters you can put into the keyboard here. So that was just a cat filter Basically all of these little knobs here. It's instantaneous, too. Yeah, it's got a different pattern Yeah, you can see Yeah, you can see you just place it on there differently. Let's try this one Um, this one is an angelic voice You can always tell your kids that we lost the cat sound one I was like, oh no, where'd it go? And you can press this little lever here to bend the pitch of a note I feel like I could hear that in like a brooklyn warehouse or something. Oh, yeah I hear this in my neighborhood like what are these buttons for on the top on like the left and right to play? So I think this one is uh for recording songs just press the button Oh Well, I did not program this It's okay. This is just playing a song for us This is happy birthday, right? So I guess this just came with it we're still discovering. Yeah. Yeah Oh, we got the harmonies. Oh, can we hear the cat version? Let's see what that sounds like Cat was what number three? Oh, wait. No, this one's also really good. It's um old man This is my favorite thing, which one would you rather have your kid play with more the cat wars or the old man I really don't know Oh They have different songs I guess so This does not sound like music it sounds like someone's being beat up to me. Oh no Okay, that's over. Um, so that's the piano. Yeah, so let's see what other filters there are No, there's also like something If the labo is flimsy or weak and also is it easy to replace like if you lost pieces maybe yeah So andrew webster reviewed the labo and he has like two kids Like super young and he said it's like surprisingly durable But also nintendo sells like replacement kits if you like destroy something or he also said it was like easy to fix Um, I think they even have tutorials of like how to repair something if you break it Okay, cool But nintendo also suggested like you should hold on to these like cardboard kits that it came from So if you finish making one, you can always use it as a stencil to like create more kids Reproducing uh cardboard kits here. Um Yeah, oh we're back to the cats and There's so many like different modes on here So that was just a toy piano if you go into studio You have way more options. Um, this is like a baton that also came with the cardboard. I don't know where it went. It's gone Um, but the studio lets you like really record and like play around with making music and also gives you more octaves So like five octaves that you can adjust with the lever here. This is a lot scarier looking. Yeah, this is intense Oh Oh, it has a metronome and everything oh now you started they were counting you in oh So what happens You can delete That was trash Delete your account. Okay Well, that was that so let's check out something else. Yeah So let's uh take this off and maybe move on to the fishing rod we have here And the fishing rod is fun because you can play The corresponding game that comes with it How do you get these? Yeah, when I saw that there's a fishing rod It's like I was really having a hard time one. It's made out of cardboard two. How is that like a video game? uh, so the video game is basically it's very calming you just just reel in the fish that you catch but the way they set this up is You put the screen on like this And you have to is it gonna teach me how to fish Just to be clear for people this is still part of the variety kit the variety kit this is the 70 kit Okay, so piano fishing Um motorcycle like there's a house that you can build with like a tamagotchi character and it's all all the games are on one All the games are on one cartridge. Okay, so we're gonna put this controller I think it was right here. Yeah, and the red one goes in there Did I do it right? Oh, sorry. No, we got this backwards so The instructions are all on the screen here. We don't like following. Yeah, the red one should have gone. We prefer to experiment Let's do this. Let's play by our own rules. There you go. There you go. So is this using the camera too? Yes, so the camera is on the red controller and it can sense where your fishing rod is right now. Ashley Is diving deep into the ocean and search for fish We're gonna wait for Fish to come along and bite the hook I'm gonna wait for this guy Mmm, so I can also pull it. Yeah, and it knows yeah Just so people can see that on the screen But oh, this is a big one I don't know if it's more effective to go like this or to go Maybe it's like a combination of both Yeah, that does seem to be more Okay, you gotta be you gotta be we're gonna be wait. You gotta be patient. Yeah, I have no patience, but this is good It's a skill. I need to practice. I don't like teach kids patience. Okay. Okay. All right I think you got it That's basically the fishing game you got a macro. Yeah, I did amazing. Thank you Um, this is awesome. I could absolutely see myself playing with this all the time and uh sitting in the office doing it Maybe yeah, like good for when you need a break. Yeah, how long does this one take to make? Uh, so Creighton our producer made this I think it took him like what an hour 30 minutes an hour and a half Yeah Yeah, we went to the nintendo like hands-on event and they basically they had us make this rc car which super easy to make It takes like five minutes Yeah But they had to start the fishing run and like didn't give us time to finish it because they knew it would take longer Is that unsatisfying? Um, I mean, we still got to play with it after when it was done Um, but yeah, I want to show you guys the rc car next still variety kit. Yeah still variety kit You thought 70 was too much to pay for cardboard. Well, let me tell you yeah, and also you get two rc cars Okay, one cardboard sheet here. Um, so basically this one's already done. This one has ink on it Um, this one's in green. So like all the rc cars are green fishing rod is blue Like so you'll never like mix up different toys, but they also give you a blank one So you can like decorate it however you want put googly eyes on it if you want Um, you gotta put googly eyes on everything. It feels like the proper way to do it So i'm gonna i'm gonna try to build this I'm not the best. I mean i'm uh, should I leave these in here an old school lego expert? Yeah, you know you give me some legos and instruction book. I'm i'm there. I really haven't done a lot of cardboard work in my life Yeah, but i'm willing to flex into this new role Uh, yeah, so I guess before we let you start building we can show people like what the finished one looks like and Let's go into the rc car mode here So we're gonna go ahead and put the controller in here stick the controllers in like this and you gotta get the antenna on the thing Because that totally makes it official. Yeah So this is our finished rc car And if you press this button here, it makes the controller vibrate to make it go in that direction It goes straight and this part is really cool. There's a camera As we mentioned the ir camera on the red controller here. You can actually see yourself on the screen there Is there there's paul? Night vision mode. Whoa Should we get the paul cam on there? Can people see this? Yeah So there's paul with his camera. There's ashley If you tap it one more time, it turns into like a depth sensing camera So the closer you are show up in red And then also has this auto mode So you put that down and turn on auto mode And then it'll start to follow Whatever is in front of it Even if you move it like It follows those stickers. Yeah, so these stickers pick up super well on the camera That's cool. Yeah turn off auto mode there Um, I don't know should we oh, so I guess we have to have you build. Yeah, i'm gonna give this a shot So this is supposed to be the easiest one to build this super easy. It takes like less than five minutes And it's the first one they have you build in the variety kit because it teaches you the basics of like folding So how do we so we have to go back to make mode? Okay, and the instructions are like super easy to follow Super easy to follow uh, there's these back and forwards arrows that will let you adjust the speed of like how fast you want to learn First it takes you through like the entire process And then if you pull the tab like all the way over here, it goes super fast. You just hold it down It's like kind of slow. Okay So you just follow these instructions and start making the rc car Let's listen these two parts out of the sheet. See what's most amazing to me Is the fact that like I own a nintendo switch and I really never thought about how it has a camera Or how this could eventually be used in the future to actually make something like this Yeah, there's really not that many games on the switch that make use of this camera Um so far like we've only used it for like one two switch. There's a game on there That's like I think it's like the eating contest game. Oh, yeah Yeah, you just like put the controller in front of your mouth and you're like this Um, yeah, like we can take some questions about yeah, if anyone out there who's watching the show has questions Let us know i'm gonna Go through here and see if there's any that are coming through but Seems like most people are just really excited about this and that they think that the fishing game could be addictive Which honestly after just a little bit of playing and i'm like, I honestly could see myself playing Yeah, and just sitting there waiting for it um, let's see Yeah, we don't have any questions yet But yeah paul, how's it going? The key to good toy con construction is to crease firmly along the fold lines That's where i'm at right now. Yeah, so folding is like 90 of building Any of you yeah, it's really making you work for your entertainment. It looks like I was I missed step. I was supposed to punch this. Okay Okay We're gonna fold Can we like just go back to playing with this because it's my favorite thing ever it's super fun I guess I can also show off. Um this guitar That is not part of the variety kit, but this is a production manager meg. Meg really was the labo all-star She signed this guitar Um, that's all good guitars should have and she reinforced the back with like popsicle sticks here And we use this for like the labo video Um, but you also watch because it's very incredible. Yeah, it took me like two days of like blood sweat and tears to program a guitar Onto labo, which is something you can do. Um on toy con garage, which is a programming platform within the labo Um, it lets you like remix like all the different variety kit games or like the robot kit which paul is going to show off later Yeah Um, yeah for the guitar we basically like attached this blue controller here I'm gonna like use that as like the fret and then we have the screen here and we're like that's so cool So people can buy this now, right? They're asking about when it's available. Yeah, it's available now And everyone seems to be very interested in the quality of the cardboard. Yeah, which it does feel hefty Yeah, it doesn't feel super light. Yeah, it's like somewhere in between The thickness of like a card um a cereal box and like an amazon shipping package somewhere in the middle Yeah, and then it's one cartridge per kit, right? So it's not like I need a separate cartridge for the piano or for the car. So the variety kit has the piano Uh rc car fishing rod. There's like a tamagotchi like house and what was the other one? motorcycle, yeah Did you guys get the motorcycle? We so it's in the office somewhere like we played it at the event and it's pretty fun. Yeah And also is nintendo Trying to make this an educational thing Like is that at all part of their focus or is it more just like this is a fun cool thing for people to do I'm sure it's like like they definitely Want to focus on education like especially with work on garage Um, it teaches kids like the basics of programming So it works with like if this then that um, it works with like a series of nodes where you Like determine what is the input node? So like if you touch this part of the screen the output would be like making a sound or Making a part of the screen light up. Yeah I figured this out. Okay, Paul's got this So Paul is working on the rc car. It looks like it's almost done Yeah, i'm a real instruction follower, but I realized now what is actually happening and I think I have built a car. Yeah Yeah, this is basically done put all the tabs in is it all the way in? Can you flip it over and it's done we're done I did it did it it's gorgeous It also tells you you have to put the antenna on the on the screen Which is purely decoration, right? So this part this next part is pretty fun. We're gonna face off And raise these cars Wait, I have a racetrack. Let me let me Look at the racetrack. Okay. Yeah. So these instructions are great because it tells you like now put the controller in And it lets you know You know like after you put it in like does it feel a little loose and if so like that's okay because it's meant to Be loose so that it vibrates So there we go Okay, and now we're gonna make whoa you guys are really feeling creative Using your imaginations So this is the outer edge of the racetrack this is the middle and We have um our starting line right here so So That's the start also like these like cones Also come with the cardboard kit. So like they're really encouraging you to like, you know get competitive Wow, i'm I can't believe we're gonna Out of this tutorial, okay, so I guess yeah, let's exit out and go back to the clay portion And this is the part that lets you race your friends you can control both of these on one switch Wait, I think one of these is backwards which one? Oh, okay, which oh the IR camera is forward. I have no idea. Yeah, I think it was going towards where okay. Let's test this out Okay so I'll take I'll take this one. Okay. All right guys. So we're racing. Wait, is it who's gonna win? Okay, Tommy or Paul? Yeah, place your bets right now. Yeah place your bets in the chat right now. I'm actually I think I can't pick sides, you know, I gotta remain neutral here. I'm just a neutral referee Do you have an advantage because you're closer? I'm on the inside. Okay, whatever you can try to push them out That's what all the marathoners do I hope everyone Basically like The sound is terrible slower. This is neck and neck. I'm like I'm doing pretty well Paul is uh, he's getting aggro here. Tommy's really trying to push him out Wait, is that music coming from the switch? Paul's making it happen. Yeah, there's definitely cool racing music happening Tommy you are now Wait, if I could just get into the inside there like you're really getting aggressive But Paul is Paul is I could win this all She's taking this way farther away I In square that was 52 seconds New record new track record Tommy Lee. Yeah, so that's just wow. That was an example of what you can do with a variety kit Um now let's move on to the robot kit Can I ask a question from the chat people want to know if you think it's worth the money? I definitely think it's worth the money. Like if you're gonna spend 60 on like Super mario or like any game these days games are like 70. Yeah. Yeah Like this is an experience that I'll have fun with over and over again. It makes a lot more sense if you have kids Yeah, totally, uh, but there is something that is very satisfying if you if you're looking for like a hobby Yeah, you want to learn programming or or just like make something with your hands. It's it's pretty cool Okay, so let's talk about the robot. All right, so i'm gonna switch out the cartridge here. Oh, that's right. It's a different Yeah, it's a different game. The robot is 80. Yes I do think the robot I think the variety kit is a better value Yeah If I were to recommend something like I would recommend that over the robot And this took uh, one of our team members jeff about three hours three hours the longest one to build I think we have like a time lapse of Um, yeah, we're just trying to figure out what to do here. Um, so we have Jeff making your bucket. There he is And yeah, there's just so many pieces. Um Should I show off like the inside of it first? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the instructions have you create like weights to be put inside this cardboard backpack and uh Fold over each other and it works like the piano you have these like ir stickers that move up and down depending on If you're pulling on the strings And you can't see it on the camera, but paul also has um The weights attached to his feet So so the controller with the camera would go in there. So we have to put the controller Into the back of the robot kit So we have to put the strings in there and then we have to pull it So we have to pull it How does it feel to pull on the strings? I I was certain when I saw this it looked like the most fragile thing in the world And I didn't think I would be able to actually Wear it at all It's weirdly strong. Yeah, it's cool that like both kids and adults can wear Like i'm sending paul off to school. Oh and also it comes with this visor here that you can wear We have to put the blue controller. Okay, this is should we launch the yeah, so let's put the robot kit into the dock Maybe Which way does this go All right, so this is my new look for the summer you have your visor on Replacing your wearable computer glasses. That's right. That's right And we're gonna just go ahead and put this into the dock and play the robot game All right, we're gonna put this on the big screen so you guys can see And paul's gonna demonstrate you guys wanna like to be a robot so this these are the these are the legs Yeah, it is a little fiddly to get it. Oh, i'm all over the robot Okay, so right now you have the visor on which puts you into the perspective of the robot first person perspective You take it off goes back to normal And the objective of this game is to basically just walk around and destroy everything So you can take a bunch of stuff to go forward, um punch the building And destroy it If you could also visualize where the yeah the weights are yeah Try it you're sewing destruction if you crouch down you can turn into a car This is good for the kids. Yeah Parents not so much higher them out. I think yeah Yeah, I'm sure it's really funny because the switch can also tell how many calories you burn while doing this I feel like you should be making your own sound. Yeah But my favorite part this almost feels like an ar experience people fly Extend your arms out to fly It gives you like helpful tips It really loves giving you this helpful tip. Yeah, I played this game like three or four times and it always gives me these helpful tips Maybe you're not doing enough destruction Yeah, you're not you're just being peaceful. I really don't like destroying things. I'm a builder not a destroyer Oh, but so you actually found a way to program the robot kit to do something more Yes, so I was um I thought this was cool and i'm pretty excited about it. And then I saw a domi's project of building this guitar and playing rainbow connection um So I immediately took the This robot kit. I was like, well I can make a like a robot piano which I think I think that's the idea and I think that's why this is an exciting thing is because I think I'm probably not the only person who thought robot piano when they saw domi's video Because it's just obvious. What what am I doing? I'm i'm doing stuff Okay, here we go. So paul built a one man instrument machine That you control with your body and I picked really sad sounds Oh my god, it's just heartbreaking to watch yeah, I really do feel so sad But you know paul you're following your heart and that's what's important here So yeah, so I can explain This episode is full of sadness So basically you this has inputs So the input is if the uh, the left arm right arm right leg left leg Um, I also set it up with touch inputs like domi's guitar thing So those and then those are wired up to um, the the way the legs work It detects that you're pulling it down and it It's the it's the opposite of how the arms work Do you think that the arms are automatically contracted and then they're like the the legs by default are? What's the opposite of contracted? Uh extract no, uh, like condensed like like extended There you go Okay, so by the so I put in these not gates so that's in the middle. There's these logic things. Yeah, so um, So I put in the little not gates because there are not and and gates by the way This is turning complete you could um, make your own and gates and make a whole computer out of this program It would take forever Yeah, and then those just go to piano nose, yeah, you can customize What sound you want the piano or you can make it play like an organ sound? Can customize it to play like a heavy metal guitar sound So it's pretty crazy is there a way to share what you've created like this they build a community Because you can go in here and like save your file But I don't know how to like get that file off the switch. Do you know I have no idea. Yeah, i'm guessing that's something They've thought of you can also say what range it senses this within So if you if I didn't want to I didn't if I didn't want a guitar sound until I hit like a pretty high So it's not doing anything Yeah, it's not doing anything That's really cool super customizable All right If I don't see you in the subway like Busking paul's one-man band amazing All right. Well, that is the labo Amazing dami. This is beautiful. Um, so paul. Yes, you made a video Yeah, I was basically trying to start some beef with heim gartenberg because we were disagreeing about some technology topics Also, I feel like a lot of what the show is about is showing like behind the scenes and what is more than behind the scenes Than a writer for circuit breaker's desk. So this is heim's desk Hey, it's your friend paul miller A lot of people have said that paul Why is your desk? So many people have said that paul Why is your desk? so messy and what I always say to them is um Well, I don't have a good answer but one One way I deflect Is I say have you seen? Heim's desk Hi paul Heim gartenberg Hi In addition to uh, always agreeing about where keyboards should be placed and headphone form factors We both have pretty messy desks. Would you agree? Yes Would you say your desk is maybe more messy than mine? I would maybe disagree on that I generally point people at your desk. Oh, wow, so we're both deflecting. Yeah See, I have a lot more loose cables. You've got a lot of boxes Yeah, I mean they just accumulate because you have like little things like you know headphones and hubs and then they come in boxes And then I don't need the box while i'm testing it But I need the box so I can give it back afterwards and it's just like they just kind of pile up and I test a lot of things. So I think what we should do you there's no shame here. All right Well, let's let's just let's just run through what you got This is the most important space which is the small reclaimed area that I get to keep my computer So I can actually get work done Let it be known that you do get a lot of work done. That's that's good of you to say Uh, these are my headphones Uh, they usually go in my bag. I just didn't put them back in my bag after my commute this morning Would you say they're comfortable headphones? Yeah, these are great. These are really comfortable. That's good to know, uh, nintendo switch Which i'm actually currently testing with some usb c chargers right now. This is a notebook full of notes from meetings Oh, this is my to-do list notebook actually Uh, I have actually still not done some of these I should get on that wait. Where's that cable from? Oh, okay. So this cable is actually from these headphones. I'm matching matching the logos. Sometimes I send things back sometimes they just stay on my desk, but What's the process here? So the process here is i'm gonna hand it to michael and michael is gonna hopefully put in our reviews room real time behind the scenes Michael I have this return. Uh, there will be more Uh, it's like an echo dot apple tv combo pack. Am I right? Uh, you're not a man of many interests some garbage. This is some garbage. This is some garbage That plastic, you know, I really I recognize that plastic sheet as just a common Thing that goes in boxes sometimes This is the remarkable it's an e-ink tablet. Oh, this was on the show. Uh, this is a personal favorite It is a razor light up mug holder and if you plug this into computer it lights up and you can have it light up With like razor stuff in your headphones your ultimate is available on overwatch your mug You can have a mug light up when your ultimate's available. It's it's really the pinnacle of of mug technology Are you reviewing the ps4? I am borrowing a ps4 from the verge because I don't actually own a ps4 But I am playing the new god of war so I can write about that for our game section And new god of war is by the way pretty good. These are notebooks five and six notebook counting notebook number seven, which says Spall on it. I'm, not sure why that's a common Insult that I received in middle school. This is the holder for these headphones. So i'm gonna put this back. Look at that We're reuniting elements. Let's reunite these guys. Yes I think I spotted goggles Are there goggles on your desk? Yeah, of course. These are my uh protection goggles We're actually like Reaching the base layer of desk at least in the center over here. Now, are we like in archaeology? Are we going backwards in time? Yeah, we're actually we are actually going backwards in time. Hey, I want to say number eight. I'm at 20 I'm seeing a book. Do you also review books? Uh, I don't review books Uh, it seems like the base sedimentary layer is usb cables Yeah, this is a playstation 4 controller that looks a lot like an xbox controller and a google pixel book The list of all the things that are you currently in progress on we're finally approaching the uh, the final layer This is just a giant pile of usb c hubs. Would you call yourself the world's foremost expert on usb c hubs? Can I call you the world's foremost? You can do whatever you want paul. This is great news Look at all these cables. So yeah, I just need to organize the cables a little bit. Let's do the official count All right, one two three four five six seven eight nine 13 that seems that seems about right It's bad that I really just want to take everything on your chair and put it on your desk No, no, no, please don't I I need to I need to address this. That's how it's done use Psychological warfare on your co-workers to make them clean their desks. Are you gonna clean your desk? No Oh, I look like i'm That was beautiful paul that was just stunning I feel bad You feel bad. I feel like i'm I mean, um, maybe i'm a mean person. I mean your desk is equally as messy It's true. So we just need hyam to get revenge on you. It's true, but now he can't You know, we'll figure it out Okay, so for this segment The spinning wheel of gadget wonderment. Yes, we're going to spin the wheel These are all the gadgets that were supposed to be on the show, but we just never got to it Yeah, so then what's going to happen is we're going to land on a gadget and someone is going to come out and explain the gadget It's gonna be like lightning boom. Boom. Boom. We've been training for this moment our whole lives. It's true. It's true This this wheel requires a lot of muscle. Okay, should I spin first? Go for it? Okay I don't know what anything on this wheel is A controller of sorts. Okay, it's the hori onyx. That's hyme Oh, oh hyam. This is his chance to really tell us how he feels I'm not going to talk about the state of your desk But I do have here the hori onyx, which is a really weird playstation 4 controller. That is a the first And actually only third-party wireless playstation 4 controller. So if you want a wireless controller that isn't made by sony This is the only one And it also looks suspiciously almost copyright inducing like an xbox controller It really is basically an xbox, but it still has the touchpad. It still has the touchpad It still uh, it doesn't actually it has uses this little light over here instead of light bar on top Okay, but if you like the xbox controller, uh, this is the closest you can get with the playstation. Is it crowdfunded? Uh, no, this is a real company. The weird thing is that they only sell it in europe You cannot buy this in america. You actually have to import it from america But if you want the xbox experience on a playstation, this is pretty much your only option I don't want to start any beefs, but do you prefer the xbox controller to the ps4 controller? I prefer the xbox controller layout. I like the offset thumbsticks. The problem is that the buttons on this just aren't that good But someone hopefully will make one. We're we're close They're just like soft Yeah, not not not the best they don't they don't feel crisp the buttons need to be crisper I agree and whoop I think I turned it on. All right, well hi. Um, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So long. Sorry All right paul, do you want to spin yes, I really I really do. All right, you got you had such a good spin I know I know you've been practicing muscles All right Oh, what a drone thing. This is a drone with intel stuff. This is sean sean. Okay, come on up Sean, okay Maybe is sean gonna do it. Is he gonna bring the drone on air? Or not just to set it up over here. Yeah, it's okay. Sean the drone the drone's getting a little camera shy But oh, okay. Sean made it. Okay. We got we got the drone here It broke on me no, this is a classic circuit breaker live problem. All right, oh things always break You just have to handle it So while you're fixing everything furiously, this is the teller drone. It's made by a chinese company called rise It has intel and dji technology inside of it. Okay, uh, and it's 99 bucks Which means it's actually like for sure the best if you can get it to connect, uh indoor drone And watch out here. Oh my uh, i've flown whoa. Be careful with the camera Obviously doesn't have a ton of obstacle avoidance you can it will like sort of move away from stuff below it But I don't know how helpful that is Uh something it's got you know propeller guards, which is nice. It shoots 720p video. So can I see the camera view? So not like the world's greatest camera but it does have a camera no for sure not a really great camera But it just is really smooth and very easy to fly. It also has these really crazy flight modes Uh, let me see if I can get this in the Okay, let's see this What it can do these flips what uh, it's got an order Oh my god, it's got a whole bunch of modes that you can do another flip one more flip. Oh my god, that is terrifying 100 bucks any good drone Has a hand landing mode. Oh Dangerous That's a good place to start. What's that called again? Tello hello. Hello. Oh my for a drone that actually works astonishing, okay, so paul I hate to do this, but It's kind of kind of yeah, it's time for everybody Come on in Everybody everybody everybody we want everybody on the set. We're bringing back all We all can just sway together the people you love The whole squad what do we got? What do we got? Jake? What is this? Okay, we're gonna run through these gadgets You can leave messages for people little little bit like little Hello Hello and you can you mess with the voice L i l m i b oh my god It's wonderful. This is good. Okay. Well, what did you bring? So if you're of a certain age like me I'm in my 30s. Uh, you probably recall playing the oregon trail on a very old dusty apple computer back in the day Now you can buy that game for 25 from target in this miniaturized form It's natural life Start it. Let's start first. We gotta go to the supply store. Right? We've already done all that We got a game in progress just so we can get I prefer to mostly Invest in food, so I don't have to do all the hunting Sorry, is it banker? Yeah, i'm a banker. Yeah I love how quick the buttons are. Yeah The buttons are kind of janky. They're kind of wildly in the screens, but the screen's better than you would think It's a bit stretch. It's direction. I'm sure what resolution You need like a magnifying glass So we can check the map here we can hunt we can trade we can stop the rest Let's just go on the trail though and see how we do. Oh, you died of dysentery already. See you get sick Not sure how much I've ever learned from this game. You just know that I learned how to spell dysentery. Yes All right, and it's always very very scary to move. All right. Dami, what do you have? Oh, I had a stylus. I forgot to bring it It's over there. Dami didn't do her homework. It's okay. You just did a whole demo. You did such a good job on your Nintendo demo that we can probably forgive this one time. I'm sorry. We need to demand that Creighton comes in here. Oh, yeah We need to talk about this. Creighton, our producer, he should come in now He better be sprinting and running into the studio at this very moment Everyone always asks it was on the spinning wheel and I was gonna run in this is a surface pro that I have velcroed to the guts of an iMac G4 And it's just connected like that and I just kind of pop it on and it pops off and that's how we talk to you all y'all This is amazing. We're giving away all our tricks. It was just way more fun Gorgeous. All right. Well, that is the show. Yeah We didn't practice a good like goodbye. Yeah, there's no easy way to get started. I wrote a song, but it was too sad You can't sing the song. Well, you had your robot suit on Yeah, don't don't come but please go to the YouTube There's so much stuff that we're doing Yeah, no, we're still gonna be at youtube.com slash the verge which you are at right now. We're still making content circuit breakers still exists The show will live on in different ways And that's it. Yeah. All right. Thanks for watching. Bye You

Think about how long you stare at a screen, like the one on your laptop, your phone, your TV, your tablet. Nielsen says most people spend, on average, 10 hours a day staring at a screen. Do these screens damage our eyes? I'm a blogger, and yeah, I'm definitely in front of a screen at least 10 hours a day. I grab my phone first thing in the morning, then I use it on the subway commute, all day at work, then a small break for yoga, then on the subway ride home and in bed. Am I damaging my eyes? Are you damaging your eyes? Are we doomed? Here's the good news. Screens aren't going to make us go blind. The devices that we use do not appear to cause long-term eye damage. That's Dr. Rebecca Taylor, an ophthalmologist in Nashville, Tennessee. Instead of real eye damage, you might experience some eye discomfort, like blurry vision, dry eyes, watery eyes, and tired eyes. These symptoms even have a name. It's called computer vision syndrome. I know my eyes feel heavy after a long day of staring, but a doctor isn't going to worry about my long-term health. So don't be scared by that really intense name. Still, my eyes are irritated and it's annoying. We likely experience computer vision syndrome because we blink less when we stare at a screen. According to optometrist Allison Bozung from the University of Iowa, So our blink rate slows pretty significantly in some studies up to about two-thirds, so about 67 percent slower or less blinking. And it's not easy to consciously blink more. I'm very aware of that. You'll probably look a little bit crazy if you try, so instead, use eye drops to keep your eyeballs moist. Make sure they are for that purpose and not for redness relief. Take breaks, too. Most doctors recommend the 20-20-20 rule. 20-20-20 rule. 20-20-20 rule. Which says that for every 20 minutes that you're on a computer or staring at a screen, take 20 seconds to stare at something 20 feet away. It requires more energy to focus at a near target than it does to focus at a distance target. If I was concentrating on a typewriter all day long, would I still have these same symptoms? Absolutely. So it doesn't matter what you're viewing, it matters that you're viewing. After two hours of screen time, take 15 minutes to do anything but stare at a screen. That means don't look at your phone either. Try talking to some humans. I don't know. Other, less obvious factors affect our eyes, too. It's not just the actual act of staring at a screen that's to blame for our eye problems. The tech we own and the way we use it matters, too. Our monitors can contribute to these issues. For example, if your display's refresh rate is 60 Hz, meaning it refreshes its images 60 times a second, your eyes will constantly try to refocus, meaning they'll tire out more quickly. There are muscles inside the eye. If you're going to sit down at your desk and you're going to flex your bicep for eight hours in a row, you may need a little bit of a break. The unfortunate news is that most gadgets feature displays at 60 Hz. You can try buying a new, more expensive gaming display with a faster refresh rate or a new 120 Hz iPad Pro or maybe even the Razer phone. Another, more manageable tip relates to your eye's distance from the screen. Keep your monitor an arm's length away from you, so about 25 inches, and position the screen so that you're looking down at it at a 20 degree angle. Your screen's contrast and brightness might also be worth playing around with. Increase the contrast on your screen to make the letters clearer, and don't use tiny fonts. I love tiny fonts, so I know this might be annoying aesthetically, but tiny fonts strain your eyes, so ban tiny fonts. Do not use them. Now, I haven't mentioned another big problem you might be battling, which is glare. Glare can make it difficult to stare at your screen and will additionally hurt your eyes. An anti-glare screen filter could help, as can anti-glare coatings on glasses. Also, try to avoid having extreme sunlight on your screen or harsh overhead lighting. Your screen experience is highly dependent on your environment, obviously, so you want to make it perfect. Along with glare, maybe you've heard about blue light coatings and blue light filtering glasses. They're super trendy right now, and glasses shops are often trying to convince customers to add them on to their orders. Blue light, these companies say, is a major part of the eye strain problem. But doctors have countered that these special lenses really won't do much to alleviate eye stress. There are several products out there to protect our eyes from our computer, but there's no data that supports that that is necessary. The American Academy of Ophthalmology doesn't recommend them because they won't affect your actual eye health. Like, they won't prevent macular degeneration or glaucoma. However, companies like Felix Grey, which builds blue light filtering into its lenses as opposed to relying on a coating, still says their tech helps. I met with David Roger, one of the company's co-founders, to talk about blue light filtering and how his company tries to address the eye strain problem. But if you are dealing with that 5 p.m. headache or your vision's a little bit blurry or you're just rubbing your eyes at the end of the day, blue light and glare are two of the primary reasons that people are feeling these effects. We filter out 50% of the blue light range. The thing is, there haven't been enough studies that show blue light is harmful for the eye, and David admits his glasses are for short-term comfort. There just needs to be a lot more studies before we're able to say anything conclusively. What we're really trying to say is, hey, the everyday comfort, like, we're trying to provide that. Lots of scientists agree. Polarization of lenses, anti-glare, all of these things that are available to us help ease those symptoms. They're sort of like a band-aid. They don't treat the symptoms. They just ease the symptoms. It could be good, and it's not bad, so I kind of leave it up to people. You know, it can improve their comfort in the now. In actuality, we need blue light to function as humans. It stimulates us and wakes us up. Blue light could present a problem at night when we need darkness to help us fall asleep because it suppresses melatonin. So filtering blue light could be useful at bedtime, which is why Apple launched night shift. Although tests of that technology and similar apps are inconclusive. Ultimately, if you're worried about computer vision syndrome or just the amount of screen time your eyes experience, take a break. Don't look at your phone, your TV, or laptop before bed. Read a book. Do a crossword. Watch the sunset. Relax. You know, you look like a person who likes gadgets. You probably like food, too. You eat food, right?

Say you have an Android phone and you want to send a text message. What do you do? Well, if you do what most people do, you just open up the Messages app and you tap on an SMS. But SMS sucks. It's only 160 characters, and you never know if they get it. The pictures are bad. Everything is bad about it. Well, what else do you do? Well, you hope you remember what messaging app your friend uses and open up WhatsApp or messaging or whatever and send it that way. This whole situation is a mess. It's been that way since the very beginning of Android. And guess what? Google says that it finally, basically for the first time ever, has a fix to this whole conundrum. And I want to talk about it. But to do that, I want to go inside because it's noisy out here and tired of walking. So let's go chat. Okay, so we're at a quieter place. And I want to start with the basics of what is happening here because it sounds really complicated when you get into it. But the end result is really simple. At some point in the next, I don't know, six to 12 months, we don't have exact timing yet. The default texting app on Android, it's called Android Messages, is just going to get upgraded so that it's going to feel more like iMessage or Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp or whatever. You're going to get read receipts. You're going to get high quality pictures and video that you can send. You're going to get really good group texts. It's not a brand new app. It's just a feature. And it's got a really simple name. It's called Chat. It's going to be called Chat on every single phone that it's available on. So when you open up your texting app, you'll send a text and it'll just magically be this nicer version of it. So I'm going to explain it in more detail. But you know what, honestly, before I do that, I just want, just humor me a little bit. I want to do a brief history of all the crap that Google has tried to make messaging work on Android. Come with me. Okay, so in 2005, Google launched Google Talk. You might know it as Google Chat. It was really popular. It was really good. So when Android launched in 2008, they included it alongside SMS, because that's what you do. In 2009, the iPhone got push notifications, which made apps like WhatsApp get super popular. And then when they came to Android also, it got popular there. So Google had a problem to solve. So in 2011, they didn't solve it. They saw Facebook and they're like, we want some of that. So they launched Google+, which had yet more chat apps in it. It had huddle for text and Hangouts video for video chat. Not the same Hangouts that you know though. It was just confusing. Anyway, in late 2011, iMessage and Facebook Messenger launched. And they were way simpler than what Google had. So Google had to fix it again. And so a couple years later, in 2013, they launched Hangouts, which took all those other apps and combined them into a single app. And everything was great for a couple of years. And then Hangouts didn't get updated. Google+, was like failing. And they pulled texting out of it. And it was just a big mess again. And so in 2016, Google's like, we're going to fix it again. They launched Allo for text chat and Duo for video chat. Duo, super popular. Allo, meh, not so much. Meanwhile, Hangouts turned into this like enterprise Slack competitor thing. I don't know, whatever. I haven't even mentioned Google Voice and Google Wave and all the other crazy experiments Google's been doing. It's been a rolling ten year disaster and Google has to fix it. I mean, look at all this stuff. What the what? Yeah, okay. All that's ancient history. You don't need to know about it anymore. It's still interesting though, right? It's insane. Here's how RCS, this new chat feature is going to work. It's actually relatively simple. If you have Android messages and your carrier supports RCS, you're going to send a text and then it'll shoot up to your carrier server. And then they got to figure out where it goes. So it'll go to a hub that'll reroute it to the other carrier server. That other carrier will be like, the recipient has RCS too, and they'll get the rich message. If they don't, they'll get a standard text message. If they get a text message, they pay text messaging rates. If they get this special new chat message, it won't cost anything because it'll be the same rates as all of their stuff on their data plan. But if you are sending it to somebody who doesn't have RCS, their carrier hasn't supported it yet, or yeah, if they're using an iPhone, it's going to fall back to SMS. If you look at this graphic of everybody that's supporting it, it's a whole lot of carriers all around the world. It's a whole lot of Android manufacturers. Samsung's going to support it in their default text messaging app. LG and Huawei are on board. And then if you look at the operating system providers, we've got Google, obviously. And hey, look at that, Microsoft is there. I wonder if that means there's going to be a texting app on Windows. That all sounds great, but there's one problem. RCS chats aren't protected from government snooping in the same way that a fully encrypted chat system is. So if you need something fully encrypted, you're going to need to use something like iMessage or Signal. The reason that happens is RCS chats basically follow the same rules as SMS. So the data gets stored on the server, and if the government goes looking for it, the carriers are probably more likely to give it up. It's not like iMessage where everything is encrypted and they couldn't possibly give it up even if they wanted to. I want to shift gears here a little bit, because earlier we looked at all of the folderol that Google went through, chasing its own tail, trying to figure out messaging. And it seems like they've tried everything. But they haven't actually tried everything. Even right now, they're not doing what to me seems like the really obvious thing. They're not just making an Android equivalent of iMessage, where you text a message and it goes up to Google, Google figures out whether or not you're in the system, and if you are, you get it, and if you're not, it falls back to SMS. That's how iMessage works. Why aren't they doing that on Android? The answer, if you ask Google, and I did, is they'll tell you that Android's open, and they can't make the default a thing that's just a Google thing. They actually have to make it available for other people to build on. And if they were to swing their big Android cloud around, then people might get mad, and that's not what Android's about. And it's a hard situation that Google's in. Do you fight every single carrier on the planet by taking away one more piece of their control over what their customers do? Or do you partner with everybody? And if you're Google, you're more likely to partner with everybody because you play ball in a way that Apple doesn't. If it works, if a billion of those people have this new text messaging standard, I don't think Apple can not get on board. They're gonna become the green bubble, and that would suck for Apple. So I do think that there's a really good chance that the iPhone is gonna pick up RCS support. The billion users of Android are going to have their own version of the blue bubble. And there's still, I don't know, a trillion text messages sent a year. And so if they can make that experience not suck, because it sucks right now, if they can make that experience not suck, they can win. And if Google controls the most popular text messaging app on your phone, Android Messages, they can get all the stuff that they want. They can do Google Assistant inside that thing, and they're gonna do that. They can have crazy Google stickers. They can have it tie into Duo for video chat stuff. The bottom line, I hope, is that if you have an Android phone, you're gonna get chat and your text messaging experience is gonna get way better. Is it gonna be as good as I want? No, it's not. It's not gonna be as secure as iMessage or Signal. But it's gonna be a huge upgrade over SMS. And honestly, Google deserves some credit for managing to get 50-something carriers and a few dozen manufacturers to all agree on something. That never happens. So SMS is gonna get a huge upgrade, and hopefully, if we're lucky, this RCS thing is gonna finally kill SMS dead. So what do you think? Is this crazy plan of Google's actually gonna work? Or are you just gonna keep on using whatever text messaging app you use right now? Let me know in the comments. And hey, while you're down there, hit the Like button. That's fun.

Hey, I'm Jake with The Verge, and we're here taking a look at four new phones from Motorola in the Moto G6 and E5 series. These phones are all going to sell in the $200 to $300 range, but while they aren't flagships, they are really important phones. The Moto G series is Motorola's top seller, and apparently it's the number one in its class. The Moto E isn't that far behind it. And this year, they're even starting to look a little bit more like flagships. They have 18 by 9 displays, octa-core processors, and dual cameras in some cases, too. So let's take a look at them. So this is the Moto G6 and the Moto G6 Play. The Moto G has always been Motorola's $200 or so phone line, but the big deal this year is that they're really starting to feel and look like much higher-end phones. We have 18 by 9 displays, and they have these nice curved backs that really look very nice. There are some differences between them. The Moto G is a little bit more expensive, has a higher-resolution display and a dual camera that lets you do all kinds of focus tricks in portrait mode. The Moto G6 Play is slightly lower-end. That's gonna be a little bit cheaper, but the big deal about this one is that it's a 4,000 mAh battery, which Motorola says is probably gonna last you well beyond a day. So one other cool feature on the G6 is that there are a bunch of gestures built into the home button. So I can swipe to the side to get to the app switcher. I can just tap it to get to the home screen. I can do back to navigate back a page. And basically it just takes over for all the buttons that would normally be built into the bottom of the display. That was on the G5 too, but it has a really pronounced effect here because by removing that we get much more screen space and it looks really, really nice on this tall screen. Now we're taking a look at the Moto E5 Plus and Moto E5 Play. Usually the Moto E line isn't as nice as the Moto G line, but it's not really the case with the Plus model. It has a big six-inch display, and the really big feature here is the battery. It has a 5,000 mAh battery, which is more even than the Moto G6 Play, and Motorola says is gonna last you well into a second day. The Moto E5 Play, on the other hand, isn't quite as nice. It looks a little bit older, has a 16 by 9 display with big bezels on the top and bottom. It's a plastic back. I actually think that both of these phones still feel really nice. They're a little bit thicker than the Moto G line. They don't feel quite as fancy and high-end, but they still seem like much nicer phones than they actually are for the price. Now look, I totally understand if you're really confused about how all these phones break down. That's why we're making this graphic right here to explain the differences between all of these phones. Basically, the Moto G's are higher-end for the most part than the Moto E's, but they really do start to blur in the middle this year. So if battery is your biggest concern, there is some reason to look at the Moto E line over the Moto G line. We don't have pricing information on the Moto E line because it's going to be up to Motorola's carrier partners. They're usually in the $100 or so range, but Motorola is hoping that with carrier discounts, they might even go well below that. All of these phones are supposed to be available around the same time, later this spring in May or June. You might have noticed that there are actually two additional phones that we don't have here, the G6 Plus and the E5, just regular edition. That's because neither of those phones are coming to the United States. They might eventually, but at least right now, we're just starting with these four. Thanks for watching. If you want more on the G6 and E5, we're going to have a ton of coverage at theverge.com. If you're looking for something else to watch, be sure to check out SB Nation on YouTube. They're part of the same network as The Verge. They make a bunch of really fun sports videos. Go check them out.

One, two, three, four. Wait, I messed up. Oh my god. Okay, I'm so nervous! So this is Nintendo Labo. It's a new DIY cardboard accessory kit for the Switch. And it lets you make things like a fishing rod or a motorcycle, and it comes with its own corresponding games for it. Currently, there's two kits on the market. There's a $70 variety kit, which comes with five separate games, and there's an $80 robot kit, which lets you suit up and punch a bunch of skyscrapers. So you might be asking yourself, why is this cardboard so expensive? Aren't I just going to play with it once and be done with it? And the answer is no. There's this thing called Toy-Con Garage, which is like a coding platform that lets you remix all these different games and basically make whatever you want with it. Nintendo's actually been putting out these trailers that show all the different things you can do with Toy-Con Garage, like a full-on tank simulator or a little device that feeds your pets. And they also showed a little bit of what looked like a Labo band. I thought this was really cool, and I wanted to try it out for myself. So I thought of a really simple song I could play, which is Rainbow Connection. How hard could it be? And two days later, I am now a shell of a person. Let's start with the piano. This is one of the more interesting, complicated pieces of the variety kit. The build guide says it takes about three hours to build, but I think that's factoring in time that it takes to make with a child. Our production manager Meg, who is very much an adult, took her about half the time to make this. So the software makes it really easy to follow along step by step to build your cardboard toy. And one of the best parts is moving around the camera. You can zoom in and zoom out, and it'll really help you visualize the toy in a 3D space. You can go forwards and backwards if you miss a step, and it's really great for kids. They can take their time and learn exactly what they're doing. If you look at the back here, there's actually little IR stickers placed on each key. And when you press a note, it reveals itself to the infrared camera on the back of the red controller, which you then stick in the back of the piano like this. And then you just put the keys back in here, press a note, which will then make a sound. So there's also these little IR knobs that you can add into the piano, and they each have their own combination of IR stickers. So depending on which one you put in, it'll change the sound of the toy piano. So here's one of my favorites, which is the old man voice. Yeah! And here's another cute one. Cat sounds. So this isn't actually going to help us make music, but I thought it was pretty fun. So something that is going to help us make music is this little lever here, which when you press it, it changes the octave or lets you bend the pitch of a note like this. And one of the biggest challenges of making a labo band was choosing a song that was easy enough to play. So I decided to go with Rainbow Connection, which kind of happens mostly on one octave, except for this B note that I need right here. So to do that, I'm going to press this lever with the C sharp to get a B. So that was the easy part. Now let's put this aside to move on to the hard part, which was making the guitar. And this did not come with the variety kit. We had to go and make this on our own. Again, our superstar Meg, she signed this guitar and made it out of a bunch of popsicle sticks. It's very much the kind of DIY that Nintendo is encouraging. I can imagine it'd be pretty fun to make this with your kids or really fun for adults who love arts and crafts. This was the fun part. And this next part of actually programming the chords broke me. So this is Toy Con Garage, and basically how it works is with a series of nodes. So let's start with an input, which in our case is a touch box. And we're going to connect that to an output, which is making a sound. And you can customize what kind of sound you want. There's different keys, guitar sounds. You can customize how long you want the sound to be played. So I'm going to go ahead and connect these boxes here. And that's what happens when you touch it. So I want to make this look a little bit more like a guitar. And what you can do is stretch out this touch bar so it looks more like a string. And you can go ahead and copy these notes here. And then I'm just going to figure out exactly what notes are in a G chord. And take it from there. You can also change the octave of the keys. So I need to make sure all these octaves are correct for the chord. I'm not a guitar player, so I have to look up each note in a G chord. And I hope I'm doing this right. So I actually don't like that guitar sound. I'm going to change it to an acoustic guitar sound. So that was just one G chord. And if you want to play a song like Rainbow Connection, you have to program like six or seven different chords. And I just want to show you guys what that looks like on the screen because it was a nightmare. Basically, I had to program a different button to play a different chord. And I was kind of like running out of space here. So you can see I cheated a little bit and made one touch bar play like six different notes. Yeah, it took every brain cell I have to learn how to do this. So this is the programming mode. And now we're going to go to play mode, which clears the screen and lets you play without moving any of the notes around. So if I press this button, that plays an E chord. This is a G chord. And that's A minor. So I feel like I'm getting the hang of this. But I really think that I probably could have learned to play a real guitar in the time it took me to program this on the Switch. One, two, three, four. So making a song on the Labo is just scratching the surface of all the things you can do with Toy Con Garage. Nintendo Labo isn't just about cardboard. It's an experience that's centered around learning. And whatever you decide to do with it is up to you. I decided to make a song on the Labo. I love it. It's my baby. Very proud of what I've done. Maybe overly proud. But I'm sure within a few days, the creative community is going to be able to come up with some pretty cool things for it. If you like Nintendo Labo and you want to check out more video game content, check out our sister site, Polygon.com. There are weird and hilarious cousins. We love them. And I think you'll love them too.

So here's a question. Why are notifications still such a pain to deal with? I mean, if you've been paying attention, there've been lots of stories about how phones are hacking our brains and distracting us and keeping us from focusing on what we're supposed to be doing. Without getting too deep into it, I think bad notifications are the result of bad economic incentives that have been created by bad software design. They pop up on your lock screen, they make your phone make noise, they literally cover what you're looking at when they come in when you're using your phone. All of that stuff demands your attention, and all of that attention equals real money for app makers who don't necessarily have your best interests at heart. And so while I think we can fix how we all set our notifications, I also think we have to push companies like Apple and Google to fix their software design. But before we can make demands of those companies, we should actually try to identify what's wrong with that software design. I wanna start with Apple. You might know all this stuff already, but take a look at how these notifications work with a different eye. Look at them and think, do any of these notification options actually help you? If you scroll through this thing, it's just a giant, unsorted list, reverse chronological of all of your notifications with no sense of what's more important than the other thing. And then if you get beyond that, what do you do when one of these notifications pop up? Do you swipe a little bit? Well, that does one thing. If you swipe too hard, it jumps to a whole other screen. Or you can force press it, and that pops up other options. You can tap it and that might open it, or maybe not, who knows? It's all just super confusing UI, and it's not intuitive at all what you're supposed to do with it. Okay, so let's take a look at some of these notifications here. So the first one is just allow notifications. You can turn that off. That's like the nuclear option, and I actually recommend you use that a bunch. But say you need notifications. Then you've got sounds, badge app icon, show on lock screen, show on history, and then shows banners. And that's a lot of options. In fact, how many options is that? We should do some math here. Okay, math time. On this screen right here, you can turn notifications on or off, so that's two. And then these are also on or off, so there's two more options here, here, here, and here. So that's one, two, three, four of those. And then this one, it's actually three, because you can choose between these different things here. So I thought this was gonna be a factorial thing, but since the order doesn't matter, it's actually just a multiplication problem. So this is two times two times two times two. That's two to the fourth times three. Two to the fourth is 16 times three, it's 48. Let's not forget about this guy up here, because it toggles on everything else. Add that down, plus two, you end up with 50. There are 50 different ways to set up notifications for any given app on your iPhone. Last but not least, on top of all that, there's this other whole mode called Do Not Disturb, which turns everything off, but not quite everything, so you gotta figure that out too. I call all this confusion the mystery of the checkboxes. I mean, the joke isn't that funny. Can we just turn the lights back on and go back to the video? I mean, it is a mystery, but it's not that big a mystery, I guess is what I'm saying. Anyway, Apple's philosophy is you should just let notifications flow by. Don't try and read every one, and don't try and organize your entire phone life through them, but I think that's kinda dumb. Some notifications are super important. So then the question is, does anybody do it better? So this is the part where I'm supposed to go really deep into the history of smartphones, and show you how Symbian phones, and Palm phones, and Blackberries, and WebOS phones, and Windows phones all handle notifications differently, and where each innovation came from, and I would love to do that, but we don't have the time, and also all of those phones are dead. RIP all those phones. Instead, we can just focus on how Android does things, and I'm not gonna go through all of it in as much detail as I did with the iPhone, I just wanna point out a few places where Android is smarter. And I do have a caveat, because this is Android, and Android manufacturers are god awful at sending out updates to their phones, and being on the most recent versions, so we're just gonna use the Pixel 2 as an example. Got it? Cool. Let's start with the notification shade. The first thing you're gonna notice is that it's ordered by priority, so music's at the top, and then there's messages, and then there's all the other garbage, so you know it's important right away. The next thing is grouping, and this is the most important thing that I love in Android, is if I have 50 notifications from Twitter, they all get stacked up into this tiny little one line thing, and then I can expand it if I wanna see it, or dismiss all of it altogether all at once. Another thing that I love is if you're using the phone, some notifications, instead of putting a shade down and covering the top of your screen, they can just be non-interruptive, they just pop a little icon in the notification tray, and you can deal with it later, which is great. And then there's this new thing called channels, which is a really complicated thing, where all of an app's notification settings get put into a single screen, where you can choose different notification options for all the different kinds of notification the app wants to send to you. So you can choose whether it's high priority, and makes your phone make noise, or low priority, and it's silent, or it doesn't get notifications at all, and you can do that not just for the whole app, but for all the little things that an app wants to tell you. I call these channel settings the Android version of the mystery of the checkboxes. No, we're not? No, yes, we're doing it? Okay, we're doing it, great. The checkboxes are just as bad on Android. In fact, they're worse. There's so many more checkboxes on Android than there are on iOS, so it's weird for me to praise it. The difference is that the end states of those checkboxes for notifications are actually way more humane. They're more in my control, and they're less annoying than what happens to you on the iPhone. The other reason I'm less annoyed with Android notifications is that you can get to all those checkboxes directly from the notification itself. I'm not saying that Android notifications are perfect. They do need work also. In fact, I would love to see some of that fancy machine learning that Google's always talking about applied more to the problem of notifications. Look, here's the truth. Notifications, they're the new email. They're just as important. But email has all these tools for managing these messages. It's got folders for sorting and stars and archiving and snoozing and all kinds of other crap. We need to be empowered to manage our notifications just like we're empowered to manage our email. Or we need a whole different approach to solving this problem entirely, I don't know. Earlier this year, there were a lot of stories about how everyone's real mad at notifications. They were in the New York Times. So Farhad Manjoo said Apple should design a less addictive phone. Nellie Bowles did a really interesting story on people gray screening their phones so that all the color doesn't hack their lizard brains. Although lizards maybe don't see color, I don't know. Look that up later. Anyway, a bunch of this stuff comes from this movement called Time Well Spent that started with a guy named Tristan Harris who was a design ethicist at Google. And I don't disagree with any of it. It is possible for your phone to put you in a permanent state of distraction. The metaphor everybody uses is that it's like a slot machine. You pull down on the notification shade just like you pull on a lever on a slot machine. I don't really like that metaphor because I think it takes away too much power from you. The person who, I don't know, owns the slot machine, the phone, you should only give them that power if they deliver something really valuable to you. And too often they don't. But Apple, I'm sorry. You need to help us out here. There's only so much that we as users can do given all of the options you've given us because notifications, they're not going away and just treating them as little puffy clouds floating by on our lock screens. That isn't gonna work. Got a few people I need to thank for this video. I wanna thank Vlad Sabah for coming up with the metaphor of iPhone notifications being puffy clouds floating away. Patrick Lopato, thank you for fixing my math. I had it super wrong and you saved me. Also thanks to former Verge reporter Jeff Blagden who in a completely different context came up with the phrase, the mystery of the check boxes, which I just deeply love. And of course, thank you for watching.

you you you you you you you you you you you Hello and welcome to circuit breaker live. I'm Ashley Carmen. Paul Miller's here. I'm Paul Miller and I'm Garberg. Hello. You probably are noticing right now that Neelai is not here. That's because Neelai's a dad Happy for me lie and he is spending time with his baby not with gadgets, which is definitely for the best So we're gonna start out with hi him today, but right after hi, I'm gonna have Jake on he's gonna talk about Android P So get ready to speculate about what that P stands for then we'll have Sean O'Kane here with some crazy camera And also Jake will be back again with an IKEA speaker. It's gonna be a good show Yes Full show Hi, um You have things on this table. I have things on what are the things on this table? So the things that we're talking about are two new Pico projectors little portable projectors So we have this which is the anchor and nebula capsule Just kind of your like bread and butter pretty standard portable projector as portable jack portable projectors go and Then we have a little bit weirder, which is the yes. Oh Joe. Oh, oh, yeah, I think it's oh, oh I think it's oh, oh, oh, oh, okay. Yes. Oh ho. Oh ho. They they really reached for it on that name Which is a projector built into a Nintendo switch dock. So you've seen the switch dock. It's this hunk of black plastic Now imagine it's slightly bigger with the projector two cooling fans a speaker and a massive internal battery How big is the battery on this? So the battery on this is? 20,000 400 milliamp hours, which is extremely big if you recall a couple weeks ago We had switch accessors. We had that giant battery pack that Creighton had so it's like that big So it's got like an $130 Battery pack built-in it does this charge your switch or is it just to power the project? So can charge your switch Okay It can actually it has a separate mode over here where you can put it into battery mode where it just turns into a battery Pack and you can charge very large battery pack. I mean if you're carrying it anyway So here we go, so yeah, you've got plugs we've got ports So you got power in for USB seeing which a is great because USB C is great and the switch charges with USB C So you can just use the same charging cable. Yeah, so you could use like a like a fire TV. Yeah Always got the archives Handy-dandy fire TV. Let's do this without blinding Paul. Actually, I'll get you I'll get you a screen Heim any of our camera people all of whom I have already Blended out to be clear the regular switch dock no projector. No, it is just It's a plastic. Okay And again, these are actually pretty similar projectors this costs $350 it's about the size of soda cans actually We know this is super portable super portable It has this cost this cost $50 more than this this has a battery that's four times the size and Works with a switch. So, you know trade-offs on the other hand This is tiny and you can fit in your pocket. This also runs Android TV So I'll turn on a few minutes, but this has like Netflix YouTube everything built in the switch has Hulu you can you can watch Hulu Or we play Mario stick is booting up here, but the fire sticks booting up. The real magic is doing with the switch Yeah, I'll swap that in. Yeah, let's swap that in. Let's get the switch going Seems like the solution all my problems honestly because I have a switch I cannot manage a whole projector setup I don't really have a TV at home. So this actually seems like exactly what I would need Yeah, I mean, I'm really just a big fan of this in general just because the switch is so easy to use I'm just saying I'm not a big fan of this in general just because the switch is already so portable But so you're you're focusing it with but I'm just in focus There are buttons is actually the thing I don't love about this is that you just click the button like a thousand times to get into focus Yeah There's no remote there's no projector settings That actually both of these projectors have a cool thing where they'll adjust to the angle that you're putting it on So it's a level screen So if I put it at like an angle it knows how to compensate for that and just keep that Unfortunately, it only does that vertically not Horizontally so but this is on and we're just gonna drop our switch in just like we would with The actual dock Extending the fun of Nintendo switch should it oh and here we go. Dang You can just jump right in so has built-in speakers. Yeah, it's got built-in speakers there's also an aux port if you want to you know extend speakers a bit and It's like a regular switch And that's Yeah, that was like simple simple setup I can see this with the studio. Have you done it? Have you tried it in the dark like yeah in the dark. It actually looks pretty good. So this is a 200 lumen projector This one's about a hundred neither of them is Outstandingly good like relative to like big professional projectors Yeah, jump in I just paused I'm using them. It's like super outstanding relative to like actual projectors, but for a small portable projector, you know take on the go For playing, you know game of Mario Kart on your rooftop with all your trendy friends It's through your sword I've heard that third-party docks and things like that have been breaking the switches Is that something people need to worry about with something like this? I mean, there's always a concern when you're using a third-party accessory on ninety percent sure Nintendo hasn't authorized this one I'm more okay with this for a couple reasons. One is even compared to the switch dock. You're putting this in relatively If you look you're putting the switch much farther in so there's less chance of it like damaging or scratching up your screen And to the issues with the breaking was really I think one specific Which I actually have on my desk and have been afraid to plug my switch into for maybe don't do that. Yeah This was an Indiegogo project, which is usually kind of a red flag here Not even Kickstarter's an Indiegogo project usually more of a red This is really shipping but it's really shipping you can go on Amazon and actually order one I think they're currently back ordered, but you can order one on Amazon and it'll be shipping with Prime shipping I think could be a little bit more expensive It's $400, which is the catch. Hmm. That's a lot. On the other hand. This is again. This is kind of, you know, your base model This is 350 dollars. This has a battery That's one quarter of the size and you can't just drop your switch in and like going back like in the original switch commercial They had that like, you know, you trendy hipsters on your roof Millennials on your reclaimed warehouse roof in Brooklyn playing through playing switch games This is like this is like the the evolution of that dream where not only Not only are you showing up at your party like the coolest guy in the world Paul with your switch It's ready ready to lead a game of Mario. I do go to a lot of parties You're there with your with your Giant block projector. Yeah, suddenly everyone's enjoying this I've done I have I I'll be honest. I did it in Manhattan. I have lugged a huge projector up to a friend's roof before Just to watch Netflix Yeah, that was real dedication. So it seems like it'd be easier now with this this kind of thing Now this is Android TV. This is a great way. Yeah, he set this up to so how do we turn this off? There's a power button on the front Is this a switch? Oh switch pun not intended. Sorry. I Feel I kind of reviewed this. Yeah I had a lot of problems with this remote So there's like such a simple room. It looks so simple It looks like this remote which is arguably this awful. There's a tiny infrared sensor here right on the back And it just it's like a little bit of a Direct shot so you doesn't work well with the bank shots and the angle, you know what I mean? Right? I guess with like a portable projector. That's more of a concern because You're gonna be like moving it around a lot Yeah, I mean this just runs Android TV, which is good Try this just try this. What's the resolution on this one the chat wants to know so they both have the same resolution They both have the same resolution. They both have the same resolution They both natively projected 854 by 480 so not like great resolution But it's a small battery-powered projector that you can carry in your bag and take anywhere. How many lumens? This is 200 lumens. That's 100 lumens. So again, neither of these are breaking any records in terms of projectors You're not gonna you know install this in your home theater is your big cinema quality projector But if it's a thing that you just stick in a bag and take with you to your cool Rooftop parties like if I had this in college, I would have failed out of college. I'm gonna be completely honest here Yeah, I have more faith in you Yeah Okay, let's let's do this remote demo If it works, I mean I'm literally pointing it directly at it but No, there we go we found I was about to say, okay Maybe I'm just really Like I'm back here. I'm already I'm already not getting like I think three feet I think three feet for a TV remote is Yeah, reasonable statute to expect it to work. The nice thing is there there is an app so you can you can control it over Bluetooth That works great And it's also great for like typing and can you show the app in the overheads? So you're just moving around with your finger So like the Apple TV app actually, yeah, yeah, this is like a like a cursor kind of thing that's really cool You too. So this doesn't have any up at all. There's basically no controls on the on the OYO Ojo, whatever we decided to call it You can adjust focus with these buttons on top. You can adjust the volume of the internal speaker and that's it It is there's no remote at all. There's no remote. There's no controls It is designed to be as plug-and-play as the switch Itself is like you just drop it in and go and hope everything kind of works. Mm-hmm, and it mostly does Would you buy this yourself now that you are have succeeded at college? You know upstanding professional citizen. So here's the thing this costs more than a switch does this costs $400 So you could buy a switch you could buy a second pair of joy con for this way And you could buy a game to play on the switch for less than buying Yeah, but if you were gonna play on a TV and you had to buy the TV That's true. I guess relative to TV You can get a really good TV for $400 too You can get a really good TV for $400 too The amazing television for $400 So it's definitely more of like a fun luxury if it costs like $200 I could see maybe doing it Oh, you also you do just get a huge battery Yeah, I mean it is it is basically an $130 battery pack Like we had a battery this big for the switch, right? So you are getting that out of it, which isn't bad But it's it's definitely still a little expensive at this point But it's just a cool like people are finally doing interesting things with the switch This is this is the do more things like this developers if you're listening and hopefully Nintendo doesn't break it And hopefully Nintendo doesn't break anything. Awesome. Well, hi. I'm thank you so much for coming on now. We're gonna go to Don't know maybe a part of the show you probably like a circuit breaker Assume people love Everyone tell Ashley you like this So Jake is gonna talk to us about Android P get ready to speculate in the comments with Jake. Here we go. What's up, Jake? Month ago. We put up a first look at Android P when Google released the developer preview and Basically all of the comments on YouTube were speculation about what Google is going to name Android P It's like that time of the year. It always happens debate over what the next Next dessert they'll choose is gonna be for the name of the operating system So we fear we just go through some of the favorites that were in the comments and talk them over the first one the number one most popular comment was Android pancake and I have to tell you all this is actually just a bad. Yes, because it's not a dessert all Android operating systems have a name after desserts and pancake is not wait I know this is Your segment that everybody loves Pancakes what about when they have whipped cream on them? Yeah If you eat Mickey Mouse pancakes Mickey Mouse, if you know how you shape the pancake, it's still a breakfast But if you have a great dinner and someone's like would you like to see the dessert menu? It's full of pancakes that are sweet and delightful. You're sorry. I'm sorry. I don't eat my own desserts for dessert I think that would be strange if somebody offered you cereal for dessert, which you qualify it as a dessert Still breakfast food There are better options in pancake Not one of them, I just say chocolate chip pancakes are delicious people people in the chat are saying pancake equal breakfast Thank you commenters for us. All right. What else we have number two another really popular when we saw was Popsicle which I think is a very good guess but here's the thing popsicles actually a brand name register trademark of whom? The popsicle in people. I don't know Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah and Oreo those are right is possible My feeling is like Oreo kick out you recognize those brand names I did not even realize that popsicle was a brand name like the generic is ice pop So it'd be a lot of work for Google to get the permission for like not right I feel like it would not be as like worth it. That's that's my feeling against pops. Okay, what else we got? We have some good and bad ones peppermint. It's fine. Thank I'm really I like eating Honestly, a lot of people in the chat are saying peppermint really which I'm shocked I'm parents really I just think of peppermint patty you like the candy. All right, it's a candy Yeah, the little ones those mints are absolutely not dessert. So that is our qualifier here No, well, but it's honeycomb a dessert. I Mean it's a lame dessert and similarly one of the worst versions of Android. Oh, yeah All right. We also have Popcorn no, it's not that doesn't count unless you put chocolate You can put sugar on literally any food and I don't and you should wow We're getting so many crazy ones in here poppy seed muffin Oh, that's not an Akata these people are trolling us Powder sugar donut Someone had pineapple upside down cake. That's all right Yeah There was a bunch of pineapple suggestions coming up We have a bunch of us a potato This is I mean a delicious food, but not not working for for a dessert Android pie. Yeah, I mean I feel like it's a little short. It feels like you like Someone in the chat says pumpkin pie. I have a theory that they might not want to do Pecan anything with a double P the alliteration is good The alliteration is good But if you think everybody abbreviated Android ice cream sandwiches ICS and here you're going Android No reason called Android double P. It's gonna be That's my only my my reason for why it might not be that and or pineapple we got yeah That's a clear fruit. I think fruit is another thing Yeah, stash of special ice cream delicious I like this one because think of it do pistachio ice cream sandwich Pigs and then say Samsung upgrade to pics or it didn't happen Right, you could have a great crowd. There you go marketing campaign. Yeah That's what we'll get the manufacturers in law. What about pecan? Another nut is it a Again, but then pecan I think pecans are traditionally seen of as a dessert in and of themselves It's a very expensive. I don't think that's true of any nut a Lot of oil. Yeah, I and and likewise peanuts are like if you're approaching dessert, you know, you're just Warming yourself up Thank you to Raphael for Yeah, great When do we actually find? Yeah, so we actually so Google I O is coming up in a few weeks It's the beginning of May. Mm-hmm But we're not thinking at the name and Google usually introduces some of the more consumer facing features in the spring It'll then put out a public beta so we'll start to get a sense of it But pretty much every time they don't actually put out the final name and last year they did like a special event. Yeah, or yeah So we're probably not gonna actually find out until The fall usually around the time that the pixel comes out. Okay, that'll be around September October And that's when we'll get the final name Although sometimes they'll you know might do some sort of gimmick around the spring to kind of vote on the name or get people speculating So it's not unheard of I will say my favorite one is up here kind of I'm kind of feeling pop tart Also in some cases brand name pop tart. Well, it's definitely definitely a brand name. Yeah There's a Donuts pop pop tart crossovers now at my bodega So I know that the pop tart brand is willing to diversity. Okay? Yeah I read a pop or shit like an Android really apply expertise this is good. Thank you Paul. This is incredibly helpful Please here because Dessert Desserts, but why are you buying Dunkin Donuts at your bodega? Why are you buying them? You notice at the day? I buy these pop. I just have noticed that Dunkin Donuts pop tarts. It's like a vanilla latte pop tart Okay. Okay. Okay. All right We're down with Sean okay, and is here Sean. I'll do what you know, we're good. We're heated. What's going on? I have one of the weirdest things I've probably ever reviewed for the verge This is the light l16 as you can see Yeah, we'll go Paul cam This is a camera with 16 cameras on the front of it. Wow. It is quite the thing to behold cost two thousand dollars 1950 I'm being a bit more accurate and Well, you're basically buying 19 cameras Yeah, right that's actually not too bad like right a hundred bucks a camera Anyways point the way that this works is it's got five twenty eight millimeter wide-angle lenses Okay mixed in here five seventy millimeter sort of mid-range lenses and six 150 millimeter telephoto lenses and these are all essentially the same kinds of camera modules you'd find in a smartphone. So like that size You can actually see The 150 ones are laid out with mirrors in there and they're making I don't know if you can hear the noise But I might be able to get the yeah, there we go. You can see a movie It's a focus because they're all coming from sort of slightly different angles so to make sure that you have the subject in focus They're all mirrors a little bit So yeah, the whole idea with this camera is that it essentially is mimicking Having a mirrorless or DSLR camera with a 28 millimeter 250 millimeter zoom and lens And the idea being that you know your saving space Don't have the giant lens out here This is something that you know more easily slips in a bag or a pocket and it's actually simulating all those focal lengths in between So if you zoom to 40 millimeters, it's taking multiple camera sensors at the same time all images from those camera sensors at the same time combining them all on the fly and Rendering out something that looks like it would have looked like if it was a 40 millimeter lens. How do you zoom with this? So it's got a 5 inch touchscreen LCD on the back Camera yeah, let's go So you just touch on the screen it's giving me some like haptic feedback right now Which is actually kind of nice so, you know for sure that you're zooming if you're not really They're pretty responsive. It's pretty smooth. It actually just runs on Android we can show you Somehow no, there it is you can just pop out of the camera app and it has like a tray So, yeah, I'll take a photo people are saying you're triggering their trip the phobia sure yeah, what is it tripta phobia It's like a fear of closely gathered holes, I believe. Yeah Don't You should go read the review because we're not gonna be able to cover all of this here now because there's a lot to this Thing and had a lot of thoughts about it. But yeah, sorry. There's a very tripta phobic triggering Really quickly. Wait, can you just take a picture of Ashley? I just want to see it in action like how which one do I look at? Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely not the most like it doesn't put your subjects at ease I found it pretty good for you know, like street photography It's kind of slow and thoughtful when you try to take a lot of it's not it's not like that's pretty nice Yeah for in here. And so what you can do is this is showing Some sort of like low megabyte preview on the camera. You can actually tap this button to process it. It'll run through It'll combine What was showing you was one of the images? originally tap this process button you give it a few seconds it'll combine and make a 13 megapixel images image so you can actually see it looked better quality now. There's more detail in the hair It's not as like artifact II on her face and If you have an Android phone you can then Bluetooth share it out. Oh, which is nice What about if you have an iPhone or an iOS device? I phones can't handle Bluetooth file transfers. Yeah, you're kind of screwed the process from getting a photo from this to Instagram If you have an iPhone is shoot it on here Offloaded under your computer like connect it and put it on your computer run it through their desktop software Save it out get it back to your iPhone and then on Instagram. So it's not the most Mobile friendly setup. So you said the the version that this can process is like 13 megapixels Yes, and then the desktop software can process like a way higher in yes So it's capturing so much information because it's capturing from up to ten different cameras at any given time when you take a picture And so the ultimate Combination of that can be up to 52 megapixels if you run it through the desktop software and you can export that as a JPEG you can export that as a DNG raw file and then take it to lightroom and do more fine edits there, which is cool Problem is the desktop software is pretty slow It's still in beta and I give this company a lot of credit because they've put actually a lot of updates out already on both the desktop software and on the Software on the camera the firmware But yeah, it's you know, it looks like lightroom it's got your film strip here at the bottom It's got some basic editing on the sides It has some other special effects kind of like what we used to see with that light row camera Actually, we have a light row. I was gonna ask you about you can you can sort of mess with the depth effect? You can so this like this this camera came out like I don't know six years ago And you can take a picture and you could refocus it Yeah after the fact thanks to some really interesting product produce of physics Yeah The problem with this was that they never figured out a way to make it so that that worked Like outside of their own proprietary format, you know, I get bad light to his own thing So this you end up with an actual this yeah, you could go in here It's you know for something that's kind of far away It's not really gonna be too great, but you know a closer image you could probably try and blur it You can change the f-stop. Yeah, you can change the f-stop to give it some like background blur See, it's it's just a little slow Like this doesn't look that impressive to me and a lot of people want to know Whether this is better than a high-end smartphone one person in particular is asking about the pixel 2 I know you're gonna get to this but we want to know yeah, so it's hard especially with this Um what we're showing here what I found out after you know, that's really bashing my head against this This desktop software is that what it's showing us right now is uh is already a sort of dumbed-down preview So when you export the image you save it out even as a JPEG It'll look a lot better than what we're seeing right now, which is always frustrating But at least it's got some better detail than what we're showing you Yeah, the depth effects stuff is kind of tough if you didn't have the thing that you wanted in focus right in focus It's gonna kind of be a little bit rough But the quality is you know in sunlight it can actually be pretty great In low light it can impress too. It's it's always a little bit maybe more than a smartphone when it gets it, right Just because it's working with so much more image image data It's just never really clearing the bar It's never really making that leap from smartphone to like a mirrorless camera an APS-C sensor camera and and the process of working with these images is just like It's you can see it's like loading every time I pull and it's gonna do that because it's really It's reassembling these on the fly, which is like really frustrating. So like you gotta wait for it to sort of pop in That's pretty nice. That's pretty good. But like you zoom in it's got to reassemble it. That looks great if you make an edit It block you can see it like blocking in the changes So that's just like a real big choke point for it. And what I found is that you know, it's It can really impress you some of the images it takes can be really great But it's kind of in the same way that like pictures from my iPhone can be really great And it's not certainly is like a consumer product. I don't think it really justifies the price Even though it performs better than I think I thought it would it I just found myself Frustrated with it. Can you think of someone this would be useful for or is it just a tech demo? It's just like a hint at the future of camera, you know if it had more mobile features like if you could really get it You know really hook it up through like a mobile app to your smartphone if it had that sort of pipeline If it was a little bit better in fast situations You know, it's actually really not that far off like we saw the first prototype of this thing back in 2015 October 2015 I think and it was at that point. It was like still just it was like The circuit board of like all the camera modules and like the things weren't even connected Like it's really crazy how far it's come and it's a polished piece of hardware So it's actually not too far off and I think you know that they're making Changes to the software on the desktop and on the camera is a good sign like the people who do buy this are gonna see It get better. Okay, because it is so software-based, which is also happening to smartphone cameras. Yeah, it's like a I mean, I think there are people I don't think that you should go out and buy this camera as opposed to Like the premise that they that they lay out that this could replace sort of like a camera bags worth of lenses doesn't really hold Up like you're still gonna be better off the difference between this and like a Fujifilm XT 20 with a zoom lens on it Space-wise actually isn't that great? Like and you're gonna get far more reliable consistent quality out of that or a camera like that Where this really is, you know, it's not like it's not gonna be as good as the XT 20 And I don't think it's going to be as good as the XT 20 So what I'm saying is if you're looking at a smartphone that's not as powerful or as good as the XT 20 Then you're gonna have to buy it and you're gonna have to buy a XT 20 where this really makes sense is like in a in the context of smartphones and I think that's really what their goal what was with this was prove that this works and I think they did I'm really impressed that like the cameras didn't misalign or you know, like the Software works the way it does millimeter zoom on your smartphone without it being digital. That's really crazy. So is that kind of like the future we're starting to see with, for example, just the iPhone with the dual cameras? Obviously, like everyone's getting dual cameras. The P20 Pro's got 4,000 cameras. Yeah, I think- Triple selfie cameras. I totally think this is where this is all heading. Like Google's already doing crazy work with software on its Pixel phones with just one camera. And so the more cameras we see on these phones, if you get companies that know how to handle the software to do sort of tricky things like this, I think we're going to see a big explosion in value there because they're just so... The physical limitations of building a camera the size that fits in a smartphone are so concrete that we're already up against them. You can't really get the aperture any lower. You can't really get a bigger sensor in there. So something like this is a really good idea. And I know that they've been in talks with some smartphone makers. They've been telling me that they're hopefully going to have a phone out this year that uses this technology. I think like Lytro, we saw them making those promises back in 2015. They're not even promises, but proposing that idea. And it took them until 2018 to really get it out in front of people. And maybe they missed the boat now because now there is the Huawei P20 with three cameras. We are starting to see this coming. In 2015, it was rare to think about multiple cameras on the back of a smartphone. Now we're getting it as a... It's table stakes, right? But I'm excited to see this idea keep going forward in the smartphone sort of form factor. I also think some other really crazy stuff's going to come as well. If you think... Where is it? There are a lot of 360 cameras out right now. I don't really think there's a lot of value in them, but something like this, which is the Rilo camera. What it does is lets you basically just capture 360 degrees and then reframe your shot on the fly on your phone. How much is this? I think this is 300. GoPro is doing the same thing with its Fusion camera. We're not far off from getting this down like this, getting this down into a form factor that fits on your smartphone, and then all of a sudden you're using your front-facing camera or your rear-facing camera to take a 360 spear, and then you just figure out how you wanted to frame it later. I think there's some really cool stuff coming to the mobile space with these as indications of it as far as consumer products go. Not quite. Bad. I think it's so cool that they pulled this off. I did want to put this in my pocket. I know we got to move along. You mentioned it was- I will tell you, I'm the clumsiest person in the world. I have somehow not broken the glass on the front of this thing or scratched it. Well, Paul's going to break it for you right now. There you go. Good work, Paul. In Paul's pocket. Super slick. In the pocket. Looks great. And you wouldn't be able to do that with a zoom lens. That's right. That's right. Awesome. Take that zoom lenses. All right, Sean. Well, thank you so much for coming on the show. This is sick. Glad we got to demo it. And now everyone's favorite part of the show. Oh, that's right. It is everybody's favorite. I was just trying to queue it up for you. Other than maybe ask circuit breaker, I did another explain yourself this time. It's about space law with Lauren Grush. Space X's Earth views need a license now. Probably thanks to the Tesla stunt. Blame Noah and a 26 year old law by Lauren Grush, space expert. It doesn't say that, but I know. Okay, Lauren. Explain yourself. Lauren Grush. I want to know the truth about space law. There's a lot to go over. What do you want to talk about? Well, I read this article on the verge that you wrote about how Tesla was in trouble for taking video in space. Kind of. Because it's illegal to take pictures of the Earth. Kind of, not illegal. Basically you have to get a license from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration if you want to take pictures of or video of Earth from orbit. It's known as remote sensing. So if you have a satellite and you want to take pictures of the ground, you have to get a license first from NOAA. And SpaceX was not getting any of these licenses because they've been just putting cameras on their rockets. But everybody saw Starman in space, so it kind of got people's attention. So this is like to stop people from spying or something. Right. It's based off an old law that the US was concerned that maybe a US company would put up a satellite and they could go take pictures of troops overseas and then sell that information to a foreign entity. But we're getting to a point where there's so many different companies putting stuff into space and they have all these different capabilities that there's debate about whether or not the law is necessary anymore or if we should update it. So this got me thinking. What other space laws am I... I'm just thinking, let's say I built a rocket that can go to space. And I get in the rocket and I go to space, who's going to arrest me? Well first you need a license from the Federal Aviation Administration because you want to make sure that your rocket does not hurt anybody on the ground or destroy anybody's house. That's very important to me. Very important. You need a license from the FCC to have access to the radio spectrum in order to communicate with your vehicle while it's launching and if you're putting a satellite into orbit. And then if you were going to take pictures of Earth, you would need an extra license from NOAA as well. But other than that, I'm totally clear I can do whatever I want? I mean, you do have to go through a payload review through the FAA. If you are bold about your intentions of messing stuff up in space, the State Department will probably step in and say no. What if I build such a good rocket? Such a good rocket. What if I go to the moon or to Mars? I've heard at least maybe the moon. It's kind of like Antarctica. The U.S. has these obligations under a treaty known as the Outer Space Treaty and they don't want to mess, they don't want to get other countries mad at them. So if you're going to the moon or Mars, the U.S. is going to want to know that you're adhering to certain parts of the treaty. So for one thing, planetary protection is a big one. You don't want to contaminate other places with your human germs because that can be really bad for studying these places. Or what if you introduce some weird space bug that grows out of control and then comes back and hurts us later on? What if I just want to plant some potatoes? You probably need to talk to the State Department about that. Why even go to space? If there's going to be all these laws, why even try? Well, it doesn't fit in like the wild west. You have these laws for how to get to space, but then once you're up there, there's not a lot of regulation. SpaceX has been putting cameras on its rockets for how long and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just noticed and was like, oh, that's probably not okay. So what you're recommending is that I just try to fly under the radar and try not to get caught. I did not make that recommendation. I officially did not make that recommendation. Cool, well thank you, Lauren. I'm going to go to the next question. Oh my God, no! That was explain yourself. I think we really got to the bottom of whatever we just talked about. We're back and Jake is here. I returned. Hey, Jake. He's back on the other side. No hard feelings about the desserts. Well some of us were right. I brought you something not Android related. These are speakers from IKEA. They're IKEA's very first Bluetooth speakers, which is also just kind of weird because IKEA does technology now and this has been increasing over the past few years. Several years ago, they started building Qi wireless chargers into things. You get like a lamp that you could put your phone on and it would charge. They didn't really look that good, but you could do it. Then like a year or so ago, they released some wireless light. They actually had a whole system, had this hub, had this weird dimmer thing. I tested it out, didn't work great, but it was one of the cheapest options you could get, which is really what IKEA has been doing. It's been trying to just bring smart technology down to a lower price. Makes sense, it's IKEA. And now they're starting to get into speakers. These are the first Bluetooth speakers. We know they're partnering with Sonos in the future. So I think next year, we're expecting probably some Wi-Fi speakers that have Sonos compatibility or something like that. They're also working with Teenage Engineering on some more stylish audio gear. This is the start. They're not listening to you with these ones. These are dumb? No. These are, yeah, these are Bluetooth only. These are the dumb speakers. There's no microphones, no smart assistant. You can plug your phone into it or you can hook it up wirelessly and that is it. And these are really bare bones products. This one's $49. This one is $89. Are they meant to be portable? What's interesting is this one has to be plugged in. This one comes with a power cord. It's plugged in by default. But this is IKEA, it's kind of modular and weird as you would kind of expect. So what you can actually do is, there's this slot in the bottom. We have this coin here. And you can actually plug a battery pack. I think I locked it instead of opening it. There's this giant slot for a battery pack to be plugged in. What? Yeah. I'm gonna pull it out for you. And it's like, it basically looks like a portable battery for your phone with look and it's specifically designed for this though. And that's another $20. So if you want to use this wirelessly, you have to buy that. Or you can pay more for the... Yeah, which I mean is kind of a neat feature that you can add that on. But also then you're getting into like a kind of a pricier range. And sort of the thing that I've been wondering is, what exactly is the target market for IKEA speaker? I don't know who buys it. Maybe we should just talk about like how these sound before we get into it. Yeah, I want to see. And someone does want to know, do you have to build them? I am very excited about this part. So there is the hex switch. There's a limited amount of assembly. There's a handle. Okay. This is the real thing. This is going to take a while. This is going to take a while. But I'm going to put this in the lunchbox. There's some really, really basic assembly. This one has a handle you can put on. Both of them have these detachable front covers. I actually think they look way better without them because then you can see the speakers on the front. There's three drivers on this one too and that one. You kind of just really have to dig in there. This fabric cover, it feels very like it's trying to be with that trend like the Google... Like athleisure. Yeah. And it looks a little bit like the Echo and stuff, but it's not really working for me on these. These are very like IKEA bare bones basic style. I'm sure that these are designed to fit inside your cube IKEA storage units. Everything fits together. Exactly. And it very much seems to be like you're already at IKEA, you're already shopping and like I need a speaker. So we kind of listened to them earlier and our opinions were mixed. I've got Vergecast queued up on here. It's playing on this one. Yeah. This is probably not going to be the most demonstrative thing, but it's going to be the least one to get us demonetized or whatever on YouTube. So they don't get super loud. They get like loud enough probably, but they sort of get distorted at a higher noise. Paul, you think they're awful. I think is that an accurate description? I really, really hated, especially over Bluetooth. I do agree with you that once you plug it in with an audio jack, which you know, good luck to you, I think it sounds a lot better. Yeah. I feel like over Bluetooth compression, it sounds so sloppy and it's kind of a painful tiny like a like a, just the bass. These don't pair with each other or anything, right? It's purely just one off. Yeah, no, it's one off. Like you connect to this, you have like one in your room and that's it. Let me see if I can play something else for like two seconds. That will be a little bit clearer as music. Can you also show us how this knob works? I just want to see someone use the knob. Yeah, the knob. I mean, it's, it's spin it, have fun. That's what it's there for. Like The bass is really intense. I love Drake. And I'm sure his label loves are playing him here. We're big fans. Yeah, it's fun. It's fun. This is commentary. It's just like 15 seconds. I mean, that bass was really intense though. It's true. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like these will work for fun. If like if you just like need music for a party. I don't think this is like for for close listening. If you're an audio file, this isn't for you. But I feel like if you're buying your speakers at IKEA, you're not trying to close listen. You're just like, this will look good in my room. It can do the bare minimum, which is paired my phone and play music. Yeah, it seems like I need a speaker for my bedroom. I don't know if you have a bedroom already. Yeah, exactly. I think this would work for that. But at that price range, you probably could get a better Bluetooth. Right. That's the thing. This is $89. And I'm not sure. It's like a weird balance. Like this one's this is not portable either. You can probably get a pretty good portable one like at these prices, too. So it's it's definitely a weird trade off. I think like the Google Home and the Echo, what they make, they lack in like as perfect speakers. They have like really high quality audio because it's all coming over Wi-Fi. Like that is another really good point. You're not going to spend as much time Bluetoothing to them. Of course, they can cost a little bit more. Yeah, but I do think these both of these speakers sound way better with an aux cable. Yeah, we're talking about this. Hot tips from Carl himself. It's weird because you could like upgrade these by plugging in like a Chromecast audio or connecting like an Echo Dot or something. Echo Dot with this is not bad. But then at that point, like you're spending so much on these things. Why didn't I just get like a normal Echo? I don't know if that would really be so much better. We haven't done necessarily an in-depth listening test on either of these yet. But mostly, I just want to see, Paul, how does it look when you just carry it? I don't know. Do I look like a cool, just go out and go to the beach? You're ready to go to the party. I was going to the train the other day. There was a guy with four Bluetooth speaker, like capsule speakers hanging around his neck like a chain. It was amazing. That is you could pull that off with two of those. You think so? Yeah, just right there. Well, Jake, thank you for bringing on these speakers. Are they out yet or anything? Yeah. These are entering stores now. I think you might have to buy them online because they're in limited quantities at the moment. But these are going to be in IKEA stores. Did we say what they're called? Oh, they're called Inebi. I mean, I don't know. Roll off the tongue. As many name of an IKEA product really. Inebi, Inib, Inib. Inebi 20 and 30. Okay. Right. Inebi. There's no accent marks. No umblats. All caps. Okay. All caps. Inebi. Inib. Inib. Inib. Yeah. Awesome. All right. Well, that's it for Circuit Breaker Live. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next week. Same time, same place. Bye. Later. Hey, Paul again. And I've just been trying to think of a good name for a spaceship company. Paul's Astronaut Upsending Launcher. It upsends, it launches astronauts. Paul. Yeah, I'll just call it Paul. All right. Cool. Thanks. Thanks, everybody. Thanks, everybody.

Hey, what's up? It's Lizzy from The Verge. I'm currently wearing the Ceres jumpsuit from Wearable Media and it's vibrating and lighting up right now based on asteroid activity near Earth. While other wearable companies usually track our bodies, Wearable Media wants to use the clothes that we wear on our bodies to track the world around us. We are focused on integrating meaningful data and interactions into garments with enhancement of technology. Ceres is a jumpsuit that senses asteroids in real time. I'm the first person to ever wear this. Yeah, we just finished this new prototype. It feels like I'm wearing what I assume a slimming spacesuit would be like. So we're putting on what's called a puck on the back of the jumpsuit. Inside the puck it has the microcontroller that's receiving the data and also sending data to the vibration motors and the LED. So the LED is communicating two types of information. One is the speed of the asteroid, another one is the distance. So the brighter it is, the closer it is to the Earth. And then the faster the LED is traveling, the faster the asteroids are traveling. So the vibrations that I'm feeling buzzing on my back, those are from different asteroids circling. It's basically an exploration of turning our human form into a celestial sensing body because you know space in many ways seems imperceptible to us. So we wanted to create a story like how can we bring the awareness of it onto our bodies and know that we live in you know a greater cosmos and an exploration of that. The cool thing to me about this is it can change from minute to minute basically like the vibrations and the lights. I'm kind of existing in this in a constantly changing thing which is cool because my normal clothes don't do that. Also, I feel a little bit comforted kind of like a heavy blanket that randomly vibrates. Are these all parts that you use in this particular? Yes. Yeah, and then here we have different versions of the puck design. So this one from the left side is the beginning of the timeline basically and this is closest to the final puck which is what you're wearing right now. And so what's inside the puck? There is one microcontroller which you can think it as a brain of this garment. It has the Bluetooth communication as well as talking to a mobile app that can get the updated nearest asteroids data on your shoulder which is the vibration motor. So the raw vibration motor is a small disc that keeps vibrating. Yeah, so if you touch that one. This is a really strong would this be like the strongest level? Yeah, that's the strongest level. Luckily, we don't have any nearest asteroids around us that's close. That close. If I was out and about doing something and my whole shirt started vibrating this much I'd get kind of nervous. Next with a little help from the people around me. I eventually managed to try on Audrey. It's an augmented reality shirt that reveals the users Instagram aura. I couldn't tell what my aura looked like but the people around me said it looked cool. So when you're wearing it and when we hold the app in front of you and we can see all the graphics that's generated from our Instagram account. We're using code to generating these particles that's like floating around you and the colors are reflecting our Instagram posts. Our garments we want our audience when they wear it they feel this is something they're passionate about. They know the designers cares about something that they also cares about as well. And they feel a sense of exploration and bravery and excitement when they wear it too. Wearable Media's prototypes still feel pretty unusual. Even in New York City you probably won't run into someone wearing an asteroid jumpsuit. But all together they paint a pretty interesting picture of what kinds of clothes we could be wearing 20, 30, 50 years from now. So the Ceres jumpsuit is going to be available in September of 2018 to buy. Until then keep it locked to the verge.com and we're about to go meet the founders of Wearable Media Studios. This is a hallway. Damn this is a cool building. Oh, that's us.

Alright, we're going to do it. We're going to talk about Facebook and the fact that lots of you think the company is listening to your conversations even when you aren't using the app. Like the one time my friend mentioned a random musical to me and I saw an ad for it in my Instagram feed later that night. Facebook owns Instagram, by the way, if you weren't aware. I don't even go to musicals so this was a super weird ad for me to see. Which leads me to the question. Is Facebook tapping our microphones to listen in on everything we say to then serve us ads? Yes or no, does Facebook use audio obtained from mobile devices to enrich personal information about its users? No. While I believe that Facebook isn't listening to our conversations, it has previously screwed up user privacy, particularly with its Cambridge Analytica scandal. So it's always good to be skeptical of what the company says and what it does. Every expert I talk to for this video believes Facebook isn't listening. Actual evidence proves it isn't too. But the scary thing is, you produce so much data that Facebook probably doesn't even need your microphone to learn everything about you. Now let's dive in. To answer whether Facebook is tapping your microphone, we need to answer two main things. One, is it even technically feasible for Facebook to tap billions of people's microphones and parse all their voice data to then determine who is speaking and about what? And two, why would they want to do this anyway and would it really be that lucrative? On the technical side, yes, it is totally possible for Facebook to manage this voice data. Nigel Canynes, a co-founder and CTO of the company called Intelligent Voice, says all that's really needed to parse voice data is serious processing power, which Facebook likely has. If all of the technology exists today, it would be a very feasible technical challenge for a large tech company to undertake. And figuring out what you're saying is super easy. What's been said and what it means are extremely simple. Determining who's talking varies in difficulty depending on the circumstances. Like if you're calling from your Facebook account, it's pretty easy to figure out who's speaking and attribute that data to that specific person. The ability to distinguish me as a British male of a particular age just from my voice is very simple. And to distinguish you as an American woman of a particular age is pretty simple. For example, Facebook could easily tell that I'm the one talking about Oreos or whatever else if I'm calling someone from my Facebook account. However, a stray microphone conversation isn't as easy to attribute and this is what most people are probably worried about. Let's say you're having lunch with a friend and at least 20 other people are around you. Facebook would probably struggle to figure out who's talking. Canning says the company would likely need additional metadata to narrow the field. It could easily determine the age and sex of the person talking just from their voice. So if it could also figure out geolocation data, which Facebook and Instagram collect, it could then get closer to figuring out which user is talking. If Facebook set up a specific geofence, it could even further narrow its options by identifying everyone else in the area and then matching voice data up against its user base. We're spewing geolocation data all the time. So if I could narrow it down to say a thousand people in a particular geofence, then if I had your, if you were recording something on your phone, I got access to that and I also knew the biometric profiles of the people, the other thousand people in that geofence, I could do a pretty good job of working out that it was you. But Facebook is a massive platform with billions of users. If you're in a dense city like New York with me and millions of other residents, this would likely be a difficult task. In a small town, it probably be possible, but would also require a decent amount of work just to figure out how to target you with ads. If I was trying to match it against the hundred million or billion other people on my platform, then no, I couldn't. So it's still a matter of scale. The ability to do one to many matching on biometrics exists, but the more people you throw into the pot, the less accurate it becomes. All right, so let's say Facebook could listen to and recognize individuals. Does it actually need to? If the company isn't listening in, like it says, then how are we all getting such scary on-point ads? Is voice data even worth collecting? I actually think that voice data probably gives up more information about ourselves than most any other sort of data, because not only have you got the content, so what's been said, you've also got a very rich seam of emotional content that goes with it as well. Facebook has access to something even better than voice data, everything else that you do. I called Andres Arrieta, the tech products manager at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, to chat about Facebook's tracking technology. They have so much data on us that they don't need to turn on the microphone. Let's run through the things Facebook likely already knows about us. It knows your location because of where you say you live, but also the location tracking permission to give the company's app. It knows your self-identified demographics, what you look like because of the photos you upload, your family members and friends, and crucially, your browsing habits. Facebook uses its ad tracking technology, called the Facebook Pixel, to follow you around the web and keep tabs on wherever you end up. This Pixel, which website owners can build onto their sites, helps advertisers figure out if their Facebook ads have been successful. Oh, and you know those like buttons you see on every single website? Those track you too. Facebook has even been able to identify users' sexual preferences based on the sites they visit. That's how the company accidentally outed gay users to advertisers years ago. This goes much further than just building a simple profile and showing you what type of beer or what motorcycle you want to buy. This is about your really, really personal relationships and things that you might have not shared with others. Facebook tracks users' IRL purchase history too. They do buy your credit history. We tend to think of online tracking as something that is contained online, but it's no longer contained online. They're putting all these other sources, online and offline, together to build or complete lives. It uses this data in the aggregate to anonymously verify that its ads actually drive sales up. Suffice it to say, the company knows a lot about you. You can witness ad trackers in the wild through plugins like the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Privacy Badger, which shows all the third-party trackers keeping tabs on you. It says The Verge has more than 100 trackers, which is kind of not a good look for us, but you also don't pay us for this content, so. And that's why Arietta thinks Facebook isn't listening to our conversations. But if you require more hard evidence, the EFF even proved that the company wasn't listening to us in a news segment with CBS where it monitored traffic from a user's phone. It didn't see any audio recordings going to Facebook. Andres thinks that maybe people notice ads more after they've talked about a specific topic. Most of the time it's because we sometimes actually don't pay attention to the ads, and it's totally possible that that ad had been playing before, but because it's such a small brand, you never noticed. I know that possible explanation isn't totally satisfying, but in some ways it's scarier. Facebook knows everything about you without needing your microphone. If you're concerned about ad tracking and Facebook in particular, you could delete your account, which also means deleting WhatsApp and Instagram. You could also try an ad tracking tech extension like Privacy Badger, which lets you turn off ad trackers. Arietta suggests using different browsers and diversifying where you search so that companies can't build a complete profile of you. You could also enable Do Not Track in your browser, which asks websites to not track you. They don't have to honor your request though. Generally, we all have to come to terms with the fact that ads power the internet. It's reality at this point, and until we start paying for every service, or we drastically rethink ad technology, we're stuck with it. Maybe I'll put a love ya in there too. Just for love ya. Alright, so let's say Facebook could... You're engrossed.

Following Facebook's scandal with Cambridge Analytica, Mark Zuckerberg went before Congress for two days of questions on Facebook's approach to users' data. As Zuckerberg presented it, Facebook users are in complete control of their data, with the company taking only what they share and deleting anything users don't want on the network. On Facebook, you have control over your information. The content that you share, you put there, you can take it down at any time. The information that we collect, you can choose to have us not collect. You can delete any of it. And of course, you can leave Facebook if you want. Now, none of that's false, but it's not the whole picture. There's a lot of data that Facebook collects behind the scenes, and most of it isn't obvious from Facebook's privacy tools. So active Facebook users can modify or delete their ad targeting data, or download almost all the data Facebook has collected on them. But there's a lot of data that falls outside the reach of those tools. You've said everyone controls their data, but you're collecting data on people that are not even Facebook users that have never signed a consent, a privacy agreement, and you're collecting their data. And it may surprise you that on Facebook's page, when you go to, I don't have a Facebook account and would like to request all my personal data stored by Facebook, it takes you to a form that says, go to your Facebook page, and then on your account settings, you can download your data. So you're directing people that don't have access, don't even have a Facebook page to have to sign up for a page to reach their data. We've got to fix that. The biggest problem is something called shadow profiles, data that Facebook keeps on non-Facebook users based on the contact lists that their friends have uploaded. Even if you've never signed up for Facebook, there's a good chance that you have a shadow profile. But you never know that from Facebook's data privacy tools, because those tools only work for active Facebook accounts. Congressman, I've logged out of Facebook, do you still have the ability to follow my interactions on the web? Congressman, you have control over what we do for ads and the information collection around that. On security, there may be specific things about how you use Facebook, even if you're not logged in, that we keep track of to make sure that people aren't abusing the system. There's a lot of other data that you can't get through Facebook's privacy tools. Zuckerberg kept telling Congress, you can download all your Facebook data, but the download tool omits a lot of information that Facebook clearly collects and uses, like the location that it pulls from your phone or web browsing data collected by Facebook's pixel tracking tool. Zuckerberg also said that Facebook gets rid of all that information when you delete your account, which is sort of true, but what about the shadow profile that predated your account? We just don't know. The biggest problem is that we don't know how much information falls into that category, or what Facebook's rules are for dealing with it. We don't know who has access or how they could use it. In this week's hearings, Zuckerberg didn't want to admit that non-profile data existed at all. But over and over, members of Congress were ready to force the issue. You didn't know what a shadow profile was. You didn't know how many apps you need to audit. You did not know how many other firms have been sold data by Dr. Kogan, other than Cambridge Analytica and Inoya Technologies, even though you were asked that question yesterday. And yes, we were all paying attention yesterday. The big question is, what's Washington going to do about it? One idea is the Consent Act, which would require explicit opt-in consent any time a tech company uses or shares data. There's also the Federal Trade Commission, which is investigating whether Facebook may have violated an earlier consent decree. But no matter what happens, you can expect to see Washington putting a lot more pressure on Facebook in the months to come.

So, here's a question. What's a computer? What's a computer? Now, I know that's really a huge question, it's also a really obvious question. We all kind of know what a computer is. So, I have a better question, which is, what is a computer going to become in the next couple of years? A bunch of companies are actually trying to evolve what we think of as a computer, and I've been using all four of the major options for the past year, and... What a computer is going to become is a harder question than you might think. Now, in this video, we are going to compare the Surface Pro, the iPad Pro, the MacBook Pro, and the Pixelbook. I have a lot of thoughts that we're going to come back to, but I want to start with that question from earlier, the one that was inspired by that Apple commercial. You know the one. A teenager bicycles around the streets of New York and uses her iPad to just sort of hang out and do her homework, and it also has this moment where she actually makes closing the foldable keyboard on the iPad Pro seem cool. Super can't do that. I don't think anybody else can do that. Just like... Nope. Just can't. Now, here's what I thought when I watched this video. I thought, it's like a little statement piece that has a kind of an emotional impact, but what I didn't expect is how angry everybody got at this commercial, how pissed off everybody was, and the thing that pissed everybody off was that last line. Whatcha doing on your computer? What's a computer? I hate this commercial. I get so angry every time I see it. There's a new iPad commercial where the teen girl on an iPad says, what's a computer? And I'm just not ready. I'm still mourning AIM. Hey! What are you doing on the computer? What's a computer? That one's funny. Here's what I think that line is saying and why I think it riled people up so much. It's saying that the iPad Pro is so successful at replacing all of those other devices, that it's so clearly the winner of the future of computing, that all of our old ideas about what a computer is, they're not just wrong, they're irrelevant. But hey, it's an ad. It's designed to crack your brain a little bit and to be a little bit provocative and unexpected. So I have to admit that I kind of love it. Now, that doesn't mean that I think that the iPad is going to take over, but I do love that it recognizes that the way that we think about computers is changing. A younger generation isn't going to have the same hang-ups that I have about what a computer is supposed to do and the way I'm supposed to interact with it. Let me tell you, I have hang-ups. Like, I really want Windows. I mean the boxes you move on a screen, not the Microsoft software. I care a lot about Windows. It makes it so much easier for me to do work. I like to have at least three active pieces of software open on my screen at all times. Three of these machines do that. The Pixelbook, the Surface Pro, and the MacBook Pro. The iPad Pro? No, it doesn't do that. But the iPad does something that these other machines don't. It does a killer job of running a huge suite of great mobile apps. There's just a massive number of really good, awesome apps that you're already used to using on your iPhone and they're here on the iPad. And they work great. But I could go on, the Pixelbook has windowing and a great browser and great web apps. And the Surface Pro? It just has Windows with full-on proper Windows apps. And then there's the MacBook Pro, which has the touch bar because Apple doesn't want a touchscreen on a Mac because Apple, I don't know, is completely overthinking this whole what's a computer thing. The point is that all these companies are trying to create a new kind of computer and they're doing a few specific things to get there. Well, except the Mac, but let's put that aside right now. I know there's rumors about App Frameworks, but we're going to move on. Just hang with me here. I want to look at these three computers and the things that they're doing to invent the future of computing. Number one, these operating systems are secure and they're basically always updated. The whole idea of Windows 10 is that it's the last version of Windows and Microsoft constantly updates it for you. Chrome OS has the same thing. You don't even know what version of Chrome you're using. It just gets updated, plus it also offers fewer vectors of attack for hackers. And it's the same deal with iOS. The word for all this stuff is managed operating systems and the idea is you don't have to worry about all the stuff you used to have to worry about with an operating system. They just get updated and secured for you. Number two, these computers run what I guess we're going to call modern apps. So the whole idea behind S-mode for Windows, it's meant to force apps to use a more modern coding method that feel more like tablet apps than those old Windows 95 apps. And I already mentioned iPad apps. I think they're great. And now Chromebooks can run Android apps, which are less great, but they are slowly getting better. I mean, hell, I don't think Google's ever going to make another Android tablet ever again. They're just going to make Chrome OS tablets for a while. The point is that all of these systems can run a different kind of app that are more like mobile apps than they were before. Number three is I think these computers need to run full-powered apps. You might call them legacy apps. So the Surface Pro, for example, it can just run any full-on Windows app that you want. And the Pixelbook still has Chrome, and so it can run full Chrome web apps that can do almost anything you want as long as you have an internet connection. Now, the iPad Pro, it can't quite run everything you want, but Apple is building up to that rather than starting with that. And finally, number four, I'm just going to say it, I think that these things need to be able to work as tablets. It's important that they have a touch screen. It's important that they have apps that work in tablet mode. And it's important that you be able to carry them on, touch them directly with your fingers, and you can use a pen if you want to. Now, the Mac is the odd duck out here. There are rumors that Apple wants to find a way to get iOS-style apps on this thing, but we're just going to have to wait and see. So whenever I travel now, I only take one of these computers with me at a time, and each has its strengths and each has its pitfalls. Depending on your needs, you could be happy with any one of them as your only computer, but they all have trade-offs, and none of them do exactly everything that I want. Every time I use one of them and I think it sucks, like I think the iPad, I wish it had more windows, I look at the Surface, and I'm like, well, the Surface has more windows, but then I use the Surface, and I think, ugh, its apps suck. And I'm like, well, the web apps on the Pixelbook aren't great. And round and round and round we go. Nobody's put it all together yet. And you know what? That's frustrating. Watching these companies try to define the future of computing, while all of us ourselves are trying to define what we want from the future of computing, could make anybody irrationally angry. And hey, maybe that irrational anger might just come out if some precocious, smart kid just kind of casually asks, what's a computer? Hey everybody, thank you so much for watching. If you liked this video, I'd appreciate it if you hit the like button, or even the subscribe button. That would be cool. And let me know in the comments, if you had to pick one of these computers to be your only computer for the next couple of years, which one would it be? And be honest, tell me also what you think you'd miss out by picking that computer. I'll hang out in the comments for a while and we'll have a chat.

you you you you you you you you you you you you Hello, welcome to Sugar Breakers and the Virgins Gadget Show. I am Neelay Patel. Sadly, Paul Miller is not here with us today. He's sick. Send Paul your best wishes. He's at Future Paul on Twitter. But we have a packed show for you. We're going to take your calls at the end of the show and gadget emotional support, tech emotional support. That number is 1-844-4-emotions. So start thinking about... We're not going to fix your problems. We're just going to help your heart, really, and your soul. We're going to play with a bunch of levitating gadgets, which I will tell you during rehearsal completely ruined me. So that's going to be exciting for everyone except for me. But to kick it off, Heim Gartenberg is here. Stefan Etienne is here. He's been reviewing a lot of gaming laptops for us. They're going to talk us through some of the coolest gaming laptops on the market. So Stefan, I think of gaming laptops as being big and stupid and huge and crazy. These are not. What's going on here? What do we got? It's part of a new revolution in gaming laptops. There are two things going on. One, there's Razer producing what we like to call the Windows MacBook Pro equivalent. Harsh. Right to the jump. If Apple made a MacBook Pro in this color, I would buy it. Just straight up. Razer makes one, so you can buy that. So what Razer has here is a GTX 1060. That's a pretty decent graphics card. You can play most games at medium high settings on it. The only problem is they offer different screen options, which change how much capability you have. Because the graphics card has to work harder to push that display. You can buy 1080p display with a high refresh rate, which is what I recommend if you're going to play games on a Razer computer. But this particular one has a 4K screen limited to 60Hz. You really won't ever max out any video game on this. It just can't handle it. But that's why we have other systems like the Zephyrus. Well, same with this one. We have a MacBook Pro over there. I just want to point this out. Because Razer's everywhere. People love them. Razer's pretty popular. And almost every other product, they have a very unique design sensibility. They do. We're about to look at a touch screen. I mean, there's no denying what's happening. No, definitely. There's no denying that this is just a black version of this one. This is a 15-inch screen. This is a 14-inch screen. Yeah, these bezels are... They're huge. They're huge bezels. But it's a pretty screen. And it's also a touch screen, which the MacBook Pro does not have. So Razer actually fixed the bezels on their smaller one, too. They have the Blade Stealth, which is the 12-inch one, 13-inch one now. And that's like the 13-inch body. And they completely fixed the bezels on that. They just haven't shown that love to the Blade over here. But yeah, you got... So that's my main issue with the Blade. It's out of date compared to the other systems that we're looking at and that we have here. It does have a decent support selection. So you have HDMI, USB 3, USB-C. But that's about it. That's all you get. That's enough. Get this out of the way. Even if this was updated, this is still like a different class of laptop, these guys. Right. So you were telling me earlier, there's a big difference between something like this and what's happening now. So Razer does make gaming computers, but these are really more enthusiasts. These have all the ports, and they're using a new technology that Nvidia calls Max-Q. It's what allows you to take big graphics cards that tend to go into really big 7-, 8-pound systems and put them into slimmer systems that you can carry on a plane that are 5 or 6 pounds. They're sort of more manageable. And they're usually in the 15-inch range. So this is the first one we're looking at. This is the ASUS Zephyrus first generation. It uses a GTX 1070, just like the Origin over here. But it has one thing that a lot of people have mixed feelings about, and that's because the keyboard is moved to the very front of the laptop. I hate this keyboard. I hate this keyboard. I like this. I used this computer for a week, and I feel bad disparaging this keyboard because Paul is supposed to be here to defend it, and Paul loves this. I love this keyboard. I use it for a couple of months. I get it. I love it. I like it because for gaming, it's closer to the edge, which works for most gamers. And in this case, you'd never use this touchpad to play games. You'd probably use something like this. So it's more in line, whereas most laptops, you'd be shifting your shoulders, and it would be a little bit awkward. So it works here. And then, yes, this is actually a little bit odd, but it's something that Asus does to give you access to a numpad. It sort of works on the touchpad. Why would you want a numpad in your life? Well, some people use Excel on their gaming laptops. It happens. How much is this thing? So this one, spec'd as it is, is about $2,100. Yeah. This also, you see the keyboard, the light-up keyboard, backlit keyboard. It's white ringed around here. This is all very gamer-friendly. This is all very gamer-friendly. These keys are to be used in games like League of Legends and WSADs, used in every other video game. So it's pretty suitable. I have to say this thing, this whole thing seems horrible to me. I'm just like, I've used it. I played one game of PUBG on it earlier on your account, I will say. On my account. And you died. And I immediately died. That was ridiculous. It wasn't even a good death. I just jumped out of a car. No. I was doing okay. But this was not great. This is all to house the video card? This is all to house the video card and more importantly to cool the video card. So one special thing about this laptop that we don't see on any other system is, if you raise it and you pull here and you can't get this on your hand, you can see that there's a little bit of airspace corrected right here. And if you plug it in, this also glows red. So it also has an aesthetic purpose to it. The only problem with it is this is a removable panel, which is very flimsy. It's pretty poor plastic. So this will warp over time. Wait, does this flex? It flexes if you pull it. You've got to open it. So open it. Yeah. It rises up. Yes. And then there's like... Are you seeing this? Yeah, it flexes. It does. Are we getting the top cam? Yeah, it does. That's not great. That's my other theory why the keyboard is on the bottom, because if the keyboard was up here and you were typing on it, it would be like typing on a sponge. It's like if you push it hard enough, you slow the video card down. I hope not. I will say, by the way, on the keyboard, they changed it in the new one. They have a new one? Yes. We're going to get to that? We'll get to the new one. What's this third one? So this one is one that we looked at in February. This is called the Origin Evo 15S, and it has the exact same specs as the Zephyrus. Same processor, same amount of RAM, and same graphics card, and the same screen. The only difference is it's much better built, and as you can tell, there's not as much flex. You can also make different lighting zones on the keyboard in case you're into that kind of thing. It has a fingerprint sensor as well. So you can use Windows Hello. Yes, you can use Windows Hello. It's Windows Hello compatible, and it has a lot more ports than the Zephyrus. It has an Ethernet port, a couple extra DisplayPorts. Can I just show this to the camera? Yeah, definitely. So Paul came by earlier to give this to me. He's like, look at that. That's like a good selection of ports. It's a good selection of ports. You've got Ethernet. You've got a USB. You've got a headphone jack. Even a dedicated mic and audio. That's like MacBook Pro level support. And then it's like, boom! And yours is a SIM card. Like, HDMI. That's beautiful. Two DisplayPort, two Cs, two USBs. That's beautiful. I will stress, though, that unfortunately these USB-Cs don't carry power. They're only for data. Okay. How many USB-C cables would you need to charge a gaming laptop is a question I would like someone to answer. And that's why it uses a proprietary port. And what's the refresh rate on these screens? So they're both 120 hertz. And then the Razr is just at 60? Just at 60 because it's 4K, but the 1080 can go higher than that. So if you were buying the Razr, you would buy the 1080p screen? I would buy the 1080p screen and save a couple hundred dollars. Yeah. So what's the catch? These look and sound great. They're thin, they're light, they're faster than the Razr. They're a little more expensive, but like, what's the catch? The catch is the battery life is terrible. The Zephyrus tops out at two hours maximum. We're talking power saver, one Chrome tab, it's ridiculous. And the Origin is a little bit better at three hours, but you won't get on a plane flight with this. You'd need the power brick. That's not great. But the kind of argument you can make is any gaming laptop will never run at full clock speed without its power brick. So you would never game on the go really, which is kind of counterintuitive, but it is what it is. Yeah. So I will say in a chat, Kluski says this thing is hideous. True. And then the legend, legend, you didn't do a great job of typing here, but he says just get a gaming desktop. So why would you get one of these as opposed to just building out a thousand dollar desktop? It's really hard to build a desktop right now because Bitcoin mining has made it impossible to buy a graphics card on the low. It's just impossible. It's actually cheaper to purchase a system that's pre-built than it is to build your own, which is sad because it used to be cheaper. It used to be the other way around. So the only reason why- Are you really blaming that straight on- I'm blaming it straight on crypto. Yeah, it's a straight Bitcoin thing. It's a straight Bitcoin thing. It's like a full out thing. People buy them in bulk and then there's no, it's supply and demand. Yeah. Low supply, higher demand. So you're saying the manufacturers have allocations for the whole ship system. Yes, exactly. But you can still get a desktop. Why not buy a desktop, a pre-built desktop? Well, it's not a laptop. You can't take it anywhere. That's true. So this is more so like a portable desktop, but not a laptop because it's not convenient in the ways that a laptop traditionally is. So this origin, I can set it up at home. It's ready. I connect it to my monitors, but I can bring it over here and experience the same stuff. I can play the same games on a pretty decent screen as well. Yeah. Okay. So tell us what's happening next. So these are kind of a generation back. These are kind of a generation back because Intel announced some new hexa-core processors that are coming up pretty soon and we're going to be taking a look at them in the coming weeks. They're really exciting because they're bringing hexa-core technology to laptops, which we've never really seen before, only really in workstations. So first and foremost, we have the Acer Nitro, which is going to be a pretty powerful system. It'll come in both i7 and i7 Plus configurations. One will be quad-core, one will be hexa-core and overclocked, and we'll have a 1050 Ti, which is kind of a really low graphics card considering you'll have a really powerful processor in there. But that's why you have different options. Gigabyte, on the other hand, is going to start producing the Aero 15X, which has 144Hz display and a GTX 1070, just like these two systems over here. Yeah. What's super special about the Gigabyte though is it's the only laptop screen in the whole upcoming lineup of Max-Q laptops with hexa-core processors where they pay attention to the color quality on the screen. So it's 100% sRGB certified. It's great for designing. It's great for gaming. It's really the closest all-around we have right now. That screen also just looks really good. Yeah, and it's practically endless. Like, compare that to the Razer a minute ago, that... Horrible webcam placement though. Yes, horrible, but then again... If you're using a webcam on a gaming computer... Why aren't you streaming? What else are you doing? You've got to have your own... You've got to have like a dedicated streaming camera. Keep going, keep going. What else have you got? Oh, this one looks horrible. Yeah, this one is atrocious. It's the Samsung Notebook Odyssey Z. This is the ugliest laptop I've ever made. Oh, there's that keyboard placement again. I don't know how... I don't think there's another laptop this ugly that has ever been made. They learned something from Asus because ironically enough, we'll get to this later, the new Zephyrus moved the keyboard to the right place. This is they moved all of the designers at Samsung to the phone team. And then like Steve was left over and he's... The sharper image is his... I was listening. This looks like if you Googled gaming laptop, this would be the first result that came up. No, no, no, no. Even like ancient huge gaming laptops, they had a sense of purpose. I mean, it needs a dragon. There's no like glowing dragon. Yeah, there's nothing special about it. It's a GTX 1070, 144-hertz screen and also a hex core. It's just if you want a Samsung version of everything we've been talking about, but yeah, that's that. The Zephyrus. Now, this is a laptop that really excites me because to me this is the perfect one that's coming out. And this, they went away from the keyboard. Yes. So this is this main successor to the Zephyrus over here. It's called the Zephyrus M. It's still 15 inches. It moves the keyboard to the correct place. But more importantly, while all these systems are using different variations of Max Q and Max P, which down clock processors to fit them into smaller systems, the Zephyrus is using a full size 1070. So you get more bang for your buck, and it still retains the same footprint, which is really special. No one else is doing it. And the way they're pulling it off is using the same flexing auto cooling system that the Zephyrus uses where if you open it, the bottom raises itself. Apparently, they've made some improvements where the bottom plate doesn't flex and it doesn't have all the issues that we want. Especially if you move that keyboard up. Yes. So that's pretty cool. We're going to check that out and hopefully it will be as good as it sounds. Look at those palm rests. Beautiful palm rests. All right. We got two more. What else we got? So the ROG V703, this is if you want to go all out. And this is not a portable computer. This is not a Max Q computer. It's a full on GTX 1070 with a hexa core in there and a 144 hertz display. It's ridiculous, it's heavy, it's if you want to throw all your money at the problem and you really, really don't want a desktop. That looks dramatically chunkier than the ones we've been looking at. It probably weighs around 10 pounds. Don't quote me on that. And last but not least, we have the Digital Storm Equinox. It's sort of like an interesting middle ground. So it's a hexa core, very similar to the Origin. It has a very similar keyboard design and vent placement. But it also has a 1070 GTX processor and 144 hertz screen. You can upgrade the RAM and you can upgrade the storage, but pretty much those core specs remain the same. The only difference with all of these manufacturers besides ASUS, Samsung, and Acer is that Digital Storm is a boutique manufacturer. So they're much smaller. Their customer support is a little bit more tailored. But different strokes for different folks. If you want something like that, it's available. Yeah. Well, when are these all coming out? They're coming out in the next couple of weeks, and we're going to be checking them out within the next month. And you're going to be reviewing a bunch of them for us. Yes. All right. Well, thank you so much for coming on. Hi. Thank you so much. Always. Paul's not here, but I can't stop the man from making videos. Check this out, and we'll be right back. I've been told that my last logo for Hot Tips did not look like a flame. So just trying to please everybody, Hot Tips Part 2, colon, More Tips. Take that, haters. How'd you get that logo? I've heard that you have a Hot Tip. And here I am collecting Hot Tips. Okay, I can give you a Hot Tip, but I have to give credit to Dieter, who gave the Hot Tip to me in the first place. Well, I was getting really annoyed because every time I plugged my computer into my monitor, I would have to redo all of my windows. I'm very specific about what windows go where. Although I will say that this setup originally gave me a carpal tunnel, which is why I have this insane keyboard now. All right. This is good to know. Have you seen this mouse? Not every Hot Tip is risk-free. You've got your safety, you've got your monitor, but your windows, they're everywhere. So what do you do? So I use an application called Divi, D-I-V-V-Y. So whenever I open this up and things aren't how I like them, I can easily move things around, and I'm not sitting there dragging the corners of different windows, driving myself crazy. So it basically gives you a mini version of your screen when you highlight where in the screen you want that window to be. So I want this to be Chrome, I want this to be Slack, and it just does it for you. Do you feel more fulfilled as a person? Yeah, I feel less annoyed with resizing windows in a Mac. This is a very clean setup. Works pretty well. Awesome. Thank you, Helen. You're welcome, Paul. What a Hot Tip. Hey, Dan. Hey, buddy. You just got to talk to the mic. That's a Hot Tip from me. Hey, Paul. How's it going? Dan. Got any Hot Tips? My Hot Tip is Sartorial in nature. Does that mean fashion? It means related to clothing. Okay. Don't wear plaid and stripes at the same time. Interesting. Like plaid is fine, stripes are fine. Okay. But plaid and stripes at the same time. Okay, at the same time. Not a good move. Thanks, Dan. Okay, we're back with Thomas. For another Hot Tip. Hot Tip. Thomas, what do you have for us this week? All right. So one of the things that I do, I normally don't carry. First of all, I live in Europe, and I use European power adapters. Draw the Euro plug. I know what that looks like. I was hoping you would draw Europe because I was going to test you on that. What shape is Europe? Is it kind of like a square? Oh, yeah. It's a square. So these little accessories, what Dan was calling, I was talking to him earlier, he calls it a duck foot or a duck something. I don't know. Nobody knows. But this thing is obviously proprietary. This is Apple. It only fits on these Apple adapters. But what's nice is that lots of other devices that are powered, like this, which really is not set up. This is Neeli's desk. This is USB multi-adapter. These things can actually be plugged directly in and power your devices. That is astonishing to me. It's incredible. So sometimes, I don't know, if you forget it or because I travel with multiple pieces, multiple cables to adapt this to European or US, if I happen to forget it, I can always pop it out and I can grab some local power cable and I can still, even though it's not proprietary, it doesn't match the Apple thing, it'll still power the device. You got an extension cable. So many possibilities. It's incredible. I'm really excited. What do you think? Here's Europe. Hot tip. Here's the plug. If it looks like an Ethernet cable going into the power, that will kill you. Well, new hot tip. Don't plug Ethernet into power. Two for the price of one. It is really something to have a hobo just wander around our office attacking people with a camera all day long. I hope Paul feels better. If you're watching this, Paul, I hope you feel better, man. All right, Ashley and Jake are here. The circuit breaker crew. We're here. So loud. With the epitome. With the epitome. True distillation. I just want to set this up because it's truly ridiculous. You guys are tasked with covering new gadgets for circuit breaker. A lot of new gadgets happen on Kickstarter and one of the hottest Kickstarter segments is shit that floats. It's really weird. Yeah. Like every couple of weeks it feels like there's a new floating thing on Kickstarter. And they all get funded. They all raise a ton of money. There's a weird amount of floating plants. Yeah. But yeah, I just went back to Math Envelope and they raised like $140,000 on average, which is like- Wow. Like floating gadgets in general? That was based, I'm going to say, back of the Envelope. But yeah, most Kickstarter's raise less than $10,000. But if it floats. If it floats, you're going to- It's a good idea. Make it. Yeah. People love floating stuff. I think it's just like, I mean, it's the perfect Kickstarter thing. It looks appealing. You don't have to think about it. And then it doesn't really work. All right. Walk me- So you've called in a bunch of floating objects. Yeah. So all of these pass through some crowdfunding platform. I think maybe the place to start is this light bulb by Flight. Okay. They've kickstarted a handful of these. They have raised $1.6 million across three different floating- Wait, wait. This company has raised $1.6 million? Yeah. Selling floating things on Kickstarter. Is it various floatings or all light bulbs? I believe they are all light bulbs. I got to- So this is obviously just wireless power. Yeah. So this is pretty much how they all work. There's a base. There's some magnets in it, including an electromagnet which stabilizes it. And in this case, they don't all have wireless power, but this one uses wireless power to get the light to light up. And that's it. It's really simple. There are two LEDs in here. That's not a real light bulb. Those are just two little LEDs. Yeah. Can we get the ball cam on here? This is just like a clear plastic tube with LEDs under it. So one of the things that I sort of picked up on as I got more and more of these things is that they look really slick in photos and videos that they post online, and they're definitely not. Like, from afar, this might look really cool, but then you get up close and you realize, it's plastic, not glass, because you don't want to accidentally knock it, and then it'll go flying, which is going to happen because it's being suspended by magnets. The light isn't really filling out the fake bulb because it's just two little LEDs. It's kind of weird. Like, there's this hidden button specifically like an inch over from the corner with no markings on it. The entire aesthetic of this is like early 80s cocaine. Yeah, I just don't get, like, is this supposed to be to impress a date? Like, that is really what I think it is. Yeah, you roll into someone's house and they have this, you're like, I understand. You're like, okay. Yeah. I mean, that's what this is pitched at, right? This is like the piece in your apartment. How much does this cost? I mean, how much are you paying for this, right? Like, this is, what do you, I just want to know. The max is $100. Plastic LED. Because it's like a novelty, but also like a little sculpture of some sort. $100. This is $360. $360? Yeah. I see. I might be floating. Look, you got a braided back there. $369. Sorry. All right. So what happens if you... Which is crazy. That's not good. And so this is the other thing. It takes a while to learn how to float these things. I want you, you have not successfully floated this yet. I guess that's the verb I'm using, float. I think this is the part they don't show you in the Kickstarter video. Yeah, definitely not. Once you get it up there, it stays up there mostly, but if you kind of bump it, it will go. And it just clunks down every time you get screwed up. I hate this so much. It actually comes with, do you try the little helper or something? Shut up, Jake. I'm concentrating. He wants to do it without the assist. You're doing it wrong. Obviously. It's all about feeling the magnets. You have to talk to the magnets. It's true that there's like a sweet spot and you kind of feel it in the lines. Yeah. You can hear it. That's one of the things I've become very uncomfortable with. I feel you should not be able to hear the things rumbling. Well, I'm going to keep trying this. I was able to hear the power brick on this one buzzing, which felt weird. So yeah, one of the earliest floating things we saw was the crazy, was Crazy Baby's Mars speaker. It was on P&O Go. People in the chat were actually surprised that it's real. Yeah, no, it's totally real. The Crazy Baby? Wow. So they made it float before. You'll notice it's not floating currently. And this is kind of just a good example of how these things work. This isn't supposed to do the floating on its own, so you don't have to position it. We'll see what happens here. I don't think this is actually starting up right now. I have no idea how to actually get it to start. And when it does start, it doesn't work. It's on right. You got to hold it down? I'm not sure. I've been doing this for several days. Classic sugar breaker. When it starts up, it will make a whirring noise, and then it will clunk to the side. Hey. Oh, nice work. I don't know how I did that, and I can never do it again. Great job. Fantastic. That's it. That's the show, everybody. Thank you so much for watching. Now we can move on to your next challenges. So there's also a company called Levitating X, an athesia that is capitalized on the sort of floating craze. The floating pillow? Yeah. So they kind of realized, well, we can just make a common base. Yeah. And then put a bunch of junk on top of it. So this is a cup? Yeah, it's a cup. This is a pillow. You're supposed to put jewelry or something on it. That really is the only good use case I see here is a tacky jewelry shop. You're like, look at our engagement rings. They float, and they spin. Look at them sparkle. That makes sense to me, actually. Yeah. I think that is probably the big use case for these, right? It's like you're a retail store. The floating cup, though. The floating cup is the thing I was most excited about. Because I thought, I don't know, do you serve people with this? Do you use it as a coaster? And I want to know how successful- Okay, Jake, wait. I want to see Jake drink out of this. Wait. I think we have- Oh, you do? We do. We have a seltzer here. Here you go. So Jake, you are going to drink from the levitating cup. Get it. Oh, so you can hold some, right? Yeah, no, it's- It's doing it. It's getting heavy. Oh, it is kind of going to- It's sinking. It's sinking. It's sinking. There's still a little bit of- It's sank. All right. Okay, so now- Wow. I should have filled this all the way up. No, you really should not have filled that all the way up. It's the putting it back without spilling. Oh, man. Oh, my God. She's sucking it out of the way. I got this. She's going to go ahead and push. Can you get it? Are there any electronics nearby that I need to worry about? Just your $5,000 light bulb, Jake. See, what's the game plan here? Got it. Got it. Let's- Got it. All right. I feel like they definitely don't talk about this part enough. Yeah. So I mean, I asked them about this because I really wanted to know. I'm like, am I supposed to use this as a coaster? And they're like, no, you just serve it to someone and then remove it, which they make these battery powers so you can lift them up, which- Like a cocktail person would come up to you. Right. If you were served- like this, you can't be serving a nice cocktail on this glass. It's a plastic glass. It's like scratched up. Yeah, that's really not- It would not work. And also- I mean, no, no. There are any number of like medium bad cocktail bars in New York City that are like kind of like licking their- Exciting about this. Yeah. But these things aren't even made well. Like the magnet is just glued to the bottom. They actually also sell a $330 art piece, which is really just like a 3D printed like vase or something. It was cracked when it arrived. And on top of that, the magnet on the bottom fell off, which this is all that these things really are. It's just this magnet, which is kind of cool because now we can just see how this works. Can we put the cam on it? You can definitely try, but let's- oh, God. Oh, shit. This is a million dollar Kickstarter right here. The floating LaCroix. If you are watching this and you put this on Kickstarter, you owe us royalties. Straight up, someone's going to steal that. This is art. Yeah. I'm really- We're geniuses. I really tend to suppress this power line and show you all what happens when this runs out of power. All right. So this is- okay. This is all this stuff, but that's the one. Okay. This is the one that is my absolute favorite. I got to be careful because this is also the absolute hardest to get to float. This is the Levitating Nixie Clock by Lazer Mad. And this is- to be clear, this is made by some dude named Tony in Scotland. It's just one guy. Are there a lot of Tonys in Scotland? I don't- well, I know of at least one. Maybe the Chinese. It's a story. Yeah. So this is really cool. So the Nixie Clocks are these, I guess, like retro clocks that people are kind of into. They're sort of like neon lights where you have a gas inside the tube and it lights up the numbers, which, as you'll notice, means these are real glass. Yeah. That's glass. So you've got to make sure you don't crack these or you're going to just break it. All right. Tell the people how you set this clock because that's the best part by far. Yeah. So first, you would think it's a clock. I bet I can just program the timing. No, too simple. Instead, start with this. This, which I also want to note, says experimental use only on it. By the way, Anthony said there's loads of Tonys in Scotland. Oh, that's great. Thanks. Thank you. You saved his hand. That's great. That's so informative. Of course, he would know that. So this is, they call it the GPS, Tony calls it the GPS mouse. So you have to plug this into power separate from this thing and it has a really weak signal. So it needs to be pointed directly out a window. It then gets the signal from the GPS satellite. These lights just like blink and stuff. To be real, it looks very sketchy when you just plug it into a corner of your office and don't tell people what it is. You're looking for the sky. Yeah. It then beams GPS data over to this box, which just has like a big old wire coming out of it. This box takes the GPS signal and power, routes it into this thing, which then sends it up to this clock, which also has one. That's kind of brilliant. You've got a lot going on. There's a lot going on. It's really cool. How much is this one? This one, if you buy an unassembled kit, this is like really meant as a DIY project. It is $360. I actually don't even know if they have any more, but on Kickstarter you're going to go... Yeah, this was crowdfunded? Yeah, this is also crowdfunded. Wow. It's like $6,000. And the assembled kits sold for $500. Wow. Whoa. Which of all of these things, I think this is like the nicest quality. It is definitely very weird. Yeah. I'm not going to say that. That's some real Steve Wozniak stuff. You will necessarily impress everyone who walks into your house. All right, Ashley. Out of these, which one is your favorite? Oh my gosh. I really didn't think this would be me, but I feel like it's the cup. It's the cup? What? Wow. At least it's functional. You could drink out of it. Well, how much light are you getting out of this bulb? The speaker doesn't even levitate. I don't know the time. I need it to clock. I got to go with the light. And this is the wrong time. I feel like you walk... I don't have an office. But if I had an office, you walk in my office, you see this, you're like, I know what I'm here for. It's business. I'm here to talk with the floating light bulb. Exactly. All right. Thank you very much for both of you bringing me these things. Although I did get it, so I'm happy about that. Here's what's going to happen now. We're going to go to a package room, play a video. It is cool. It's a trailer for Dieter Bohn's new YouTube show, Processor. But we're going to come back. We have gadget emotional support. So call us. Call us on your telephone. 1-844-4EMOTION. The number is at the bottom of the screen. Call us. We're going to walk you through the emotions of your tech support issue. So watch this video with Dieter for Processor. We'll be right back with your phone calls. I'm Dieter Bohn, and I'm starting a new video series on YouTube where we're going to post a video every week. And it's going to be a little bit different than the stuff we've sort of done before. I promise you, I promise you that it's not going to be me holding an Osmo making bad jokes. I may hold an Osmo. I'm definitely going to make bad jokes. But usually those two things won't cross. We'll have professionals pointing at the camera at me when I make bad jokes. Anyway, the point is I want to do a video series that looks a little bit more closely at our relationship with technology and the way that we think about technology. For example, one of the episodes we're working on is this Apple commercial that pissed everybody off, What's a Computer? What's a Computer? That thing made people really mad. I think it's fascinating that people got so angry about that line in that commercial. Everyone's like, ah, I got it. We're calling the show Processor. We are going to look at the choices that technology companies are making and we're going to look at the choices that we ourselves are making interacting with that technology. And we're going to process all of that and hopefully come to a deeper understanding of what our relationship with technology is. What our relationship with each other is through this technology mediated by it. I want us to get a little bit smarter and if nothing else, a little bit less afraid and a little bit less alienated by all this gadgetry. Stay tuned. We're working on the video series right now. It's called Processor with me, Peter Bohn. It seems like a thing that's worth doing. We're back. It's time for Gadget Emotional Support. So call us 1-844-4EMOTION. Phones are lighting up back there. Creighton, our producer, is screening the people who called to just breathe at us. But I'm going to start with one. Okay. It's kind of, it's a lot. It's a lot. Okay. I mean like it's a lot. Our hearts are open. We're ready. This is going to involve a car, isn't it? No, I bought, it should. No, no, it's a real thing. So I'm an Xbox person and I bought a PS4 because I was peer pressured into it and I kind of want to not use it. And I feel bad because every time I say that out loud, I'm like I'm going to get rid of this PS4, I'm buying an Xbox One X. Like people, like literally our coworkers make fun of me. Like they make disapproving noises. Because they feel like you're making the wrong choice? Yeah, because they're like why are you doing that? How do I stand up? Okay, well the first question I have is whether the person who is encouraging you to buy. Well they were the same people. Okay, so they were just like, it wasn't like we want to play with you. Like we have to be on the same game. It was more just like make the right choice. Yeah, it was like I'm going to do this. Oh, okay. I'm like I'm going to buy. You're like usually I'm the boss. It's like, I'm not. She's like tell myself. Yeah, do some mantras in the mirror. No, it's like Chris Plant, the executive editor at Polygon. I'm like I'm going to buy an Xbox. And like literally and like he'll just like type a row of S's in Slack. Well, okay, as long as you don't feel left out. Like you're not missing out on games with your friends, then I feel like, you know what? Live your platform truth. Are you going to feel better about yourself playing an Xbox, playing a bad game on the Xbox, than you would playing a good game on a PS4? Because that's the question. Well, I would only play the same games. I feel like the Xbox is like a better computer. PS4 is like a mess to me. This doesn't make any sense then. See, you're judging me. I ruined the segment. No, look, okay, I don't really think that actually. You just go with it? Just tell him, say I'm the boss? Yeah. What do you hate about it so much? It's just like, I don't know, it's not home. Like I think the way the whole interface is organized in PS4 just like deeply confuses me. Like Sony doesn't make computers that make beautiful gaming consoles. They have better games. That's the thing then. I think you can come up with a counter take. Prove them wrong. Live your best life with your Xbox. That's like every day I have to like advertise? Like I'm on Instagram? Yeah, like InstaStory, be like, this is amazing. But it kind of like manifestly is not amazing. Okay, when you buy a phone, do you always buy the phone that is like technically the best experience? No, I buy an iPhone. But you buy an iPhone because it pleases you in certain bizarre ways. No, it's the same thing because all the people are on iMessage. Right. And all the people are on PSN. But you don't want to be on PSN. If you don't care about the people, then it doesn't matter what system you're on. All right, Creighton, by the way, call us 1-844. I didn't get anywhere with this, by the way. I just want you to know. 1-844. Just stand up for yourself. I'm trying. I really got pressure in this PS4. Your last person did not have friends. He seems to not care about the friends at all. Well, as people for life choices, the chat is like out of control now. If you have thoughts about this, call me, 1-844-EMOTION. All right, we got Eric on the line. He wants to talk to us. Unfinished software. Eric, go ahead. Eric? I'm really glad that my earpiece wasn't broken. Yeah. Creighton? Eric, do we have you now? Yeah, hey. Hey, what's up, man? How are you doing? Tell us your emotional problem. I'm doing great. How are you doing? So, I mean, I do a lot of beta testing, and this problem happens a lot, and it especially happened with the Kavo. You know, the software just doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Yeah, no, I feel you, man. Wait, do you do a lot of beta testing, or do you feel that you live a life of beta testing? Important distinction. I don't know. So, my feeling is that all of us consumers now live a life of permanent beta testing, because nothing quite works. You wrote that take, didn't you? That take is everywhere. All software is doing that. After the holidays. Yeah, nothing works. Yeah. Everything is too complicated. Yeah. So, my deep feeling in life is that tech companies build things based on assumptions, and the assumptions are stacking up faster than anybody has realized. You know, this Facebook thing that's going on now? So, give me an example. So, the Kavo was one. They actually shipped that product. It sort of worked. Like, 80% of it worked, and then 20% of it was broken. What's some other places that you feel? Definitely this other software that's supposed to be controlling my keyboard and mouse. Can't really say what the company is, but they told me to uninstall the first version and install the beta version, and now I can't even use my keyboard and mouse. Here's the thing. You're not upset about these things being broken. Maybe you are. I shouldn't tell you what I feel. No, that's the whole point of the segment. Definitely one. But the thing is, you got invested in this because there is a joy in having half-broken products that do something slightly different than everyone else's. Yeah. I use an email app that doesn't work, like, 80% of the time. I love it, though. What's your email app? Airmail. It's fantastic. It has a million features. Yep. It has never let me down. I'm testing for Airmail. Yes. Yeah, I mean, I could use it. Thank you. Airmail is... But, you know... But there's such a wonderful feeling to using this bizarre piece of software that you have no idea how it's running. Yeah, it definitely is. Like, you feel like you are in the new frontier. Yeah. You're an adventurer. I feel a little special for having it. I feel like I've gotten involved in something that I shouldn't be doing. It's a little risky, you know? Yeah. Yeah. This is... See? You be you, Eric. Live that life. Also, there's no better feeling than, like, the one thing that's broken and you're not expecting it and the software update hits and that shit's fixed. There you go. You're like, yes. You get that small victory. Yeah, you're like, I waited this out. Yeah. When the Kavo got its, like, final update and then it finally worked, that was, like, the best feeling ever because the entire beta test time, it just... It would... Like, one day it would turn on and then the next day I would have to factory reset it to actually even have it work. Yeah. Look, Eric, I don't think you have a problem here. I think what you have is knowledge. You have a deep knowledge about yourself. So, you're good. Take Ashley's bad advice to me but think of it as good advice for you, which is just you be you. Post on your Insta story every day about how your broken shit makes you happy. All right. We're going to go to the next call. Bye, Eric. All right. Of course. Bye. By the way, Mark Zuckerberg... Thanks, Eric. Mark Zuckerberg was testifying in front of Congress today. We have Brandon on the phone. He says he has a one-year-old, feelings about Facebook and exposing his kids to it. Brandon, tell me what's up. Hey. I have a one-year-old. I know you have a kid on the way. I just was wondering what you think about, you know, exposing your kids to social media, things like Facebook, Instagram, you know, where is that all going? Should I just keep my kid away from that? So, I had this... I don't have a kid yet. You have a one-year-old. This is true of your one-year-old and my forthcoming daughter whose name will be forthcoming Patel. Like, Cardi B for my daughter will be classic rock. That's a crazy thought, right? For your kid, like this, whatever you do with her now, him now, it will be the same as like the phone system or like cable news, right? Like, you're going to build them up into it and they're never going to know the world before. It's just going to like build around them. So, someone asked me yesterday, like, what's the social media policy for my kid going to be? And I was like, we're just not going to give her one until she wants it. And then we're going to like make sure she's responsible of it, which is basically how my parents gave me like a landline when I was a teenager. Yeah. What are your thoughts? You're more hip with teens than I am. Well, I think that's... You've got teens on your podcast like every week. It's true. I mean, I think it's one of those things where, yeah, you kind of have to weigh it out for yourself because I do see how social media is super toxic. And I honestly feel bad for kids now. Like, if you see your friends in a story all the time and you're not invited, that must suck. Like, back when we were in high school, it was like, maybe you heard rumors, but you never knew. Now there's hardcore evidence all the time. So, I feel like you have to prepare your kid for those realizations and they have to be mature enough to understand that it's like, it's okay. You're not going to get invited to some things and you're going to be fine. So, also maybe just wait until they're a teenager. Yeah, that's like years from now. Yeah. Do I put my infant on my Instagram all the time? I would say, I mean, it's all every parent's choice. Yeah. Like Andy at the Verge, transportation reporter, I'm so thankful he puts his kids on Insta Stories because it is my favorite content that exists. Yeah, but his Instagram is locked down. Private. Brandon, is your Instagram open or closed? Is your Facebook open or closed? It's closed. It's closed. Yeah, so if you're keeping your own pictures of them locked down, that seems pretty safe. Do you know Mark Zuckerberg has an app on his phone that like shows him one new baby a day from all across Facebook? Refresh. Brandon, what are your thoughts? What are you going to do with it? I don't know. It's kind of hard to say. I mean, part of what makes me nervous is that, you know, I'm not an old guy, but I don't use things like Snapchat, you know? I'm above that. I'm older than most people who use Snapchat. So I don't even know what's in that world, you know? The answer is other teenagers. So maybe kids. Yeah. The answer is other teenagers. So I think you raise it. I feel like everything you described is just new takes on the same high school dramas that, you know, people are worrying about. Right? You can't necessarily avoid that at all. As for whether you put your, you like encourage your kids to be on social media, I don't know how many people are excited about that. Like, you know, at this moment in time. But the baby YouTubers. Yeah. Don't. Here's our advice to you, Brandon. Start your child a YouTube channel. Turn them into millions of dollars. Monotize. Definitely exploiting them. And that'll be good. No, I think the answer is you do what's comfortable for your channel and you wait until they start asking for their own. And then you start you start teaching them how to use it effectively. That's all you can do. But the real thing to me is they're never going to know you made this decision. If you start buying them followers now, it's suspicious when they're older. You just want them to succeed. You just want them to be influencers. Give it just give your baby to Sam Sheffer. That's my plan. All right. That on that extremely strange note. Thank you so much, Brandon. We're actually out of time for this episode of Circle Breaker Live. We'll be back next week. Four p.m. Eastern. I might not be here because I literally might have a baby between now and then. I'm always paranoid right before the show. I'm like, sorry, guys, baby's on the way. Gotta go. I will tell you this. You know, the iPhone 10, when you get a text message, it doesn't show it to you. You have to look at the phone. So every time Becky texts me, I'm like, it's horrible. But next week, Circle Breaker Live, 4 p.m. Eastern. Thank you to everybody in the chat. Thank you to Ashley, Jake, Haim, Stefan. We'll be back next week. We'll see you then. Bye.

In this day and age, people are pretty familiar with the idea of a consumer drone. But even today, the general concept of a drone remains pretty much the same. You need a wide open space, and you need a remote control to fly your drone in, and you're probably going to need some pilot experience to make sure you don't hurt anybody and wreck your device in the process. That is not the case with the Skydio R1. Instead, the device uses an array of cameras, sensors, and a powerful onboard computer to map its surroundings, predict where it's going next, and avoid people and inanimate objects. Essentially, this drone flies itself, all of the time. The company thinks it's going to be an action sport enthusiast's dream come true. Of course, hearing those claims, we felt like we had to put it through its paces. So we brought the R1 to a park just outside of San Francisco so we could test its abilities in three different situations. Hiking, skateboarding, and biking. We wanted to see how well the R1 could avoid obstacles like trees, whether it could keep up and film stable 4K at high speeds, and how well it adapts to changes in its environment. So the Skydio R1 is pretty simple. Basically, all you need is the drone itself, and a flat surface to let it take off from, and a battery, which plugs in right here. After that, everything is taken care of on the mobile app. What's surprising about the R1 is how fluid it feels. It's not stopping and starting and trying to calibrate or locate you. It basically has an image of you all the time. It's tracking you all throughout the environment with all of its cameras and sensors. And then it's just following you in a very fluid, almost natural way. Skydio says that's because the drone is predicting where it's going to go all of the time. Now it's time to try a second activity, biking. As you can see here, once it takes off, all you need to do is tap on the image of your face from the live camera feed, and the drone snaps into position and then follows you wherever you go. It's important to note that the camera sensor on the R1 isn't the absolute best. The drone's camera lacks dynamic range, and you can't set up color profiles, which would help in post-processing. And, despite being 4K, the overall quality isn't as good as what you'd get on the DJI, with some graininess and noise that you might not be able to catch with the video previews on the mobile app, but you can definitely see when you blow it up full screen on your computer. So biking with the Skydio R1 went well, but that was basically one static camera angle. So we're here at a skate park in Balboa in San Francisco to see if the R1 can keep up with lots of changing camera angles. Luckily, the company has built in a number of different shooting modes so that the Skydio R1 can keep up with you, from either following you from the front, following you from the side, it can even orbit in one giant 360. Let's give it a shot. It appears to be struggling a little bit with the speed going around the skate park, and because it's such a tight area, but it hasn't hit anything, and it pretty much recalibrates itself very quickly. Oh wait, I think it was following you. So we ran into a couple issues with the R1 here at the skate park. For one, it started following Viren instead of following me. So because the R1 basically tracks you, the shape of your body, and as you go around an environment, it can get a little bit mixed up if it sees somebody else that looks similar to you, and then it'll start following that person instead. The whole point of the R1 is that anyone can use it. I'm not an experienced pilot myself, I've only barely flown drones from, say, DJI, but I was able to use the R1 right out of the box. There are a few compromises with the R1. It's an action sports drone, but it's not waterproof, so it'd be really risky to take it skiing, and it'd be even riskier to take it surfing. It also doesn't have a micro SD card slot like some other drones from DJI, but it does have 64 gigabytes of onboard storage. That's probably more than enough for the 16 minute battery life you get on a single charge. So if you're a photographer or a videographer and you really want cool aerial shots, or say you just like piloting drones because it's really fun, the R1 is probably not for you. And also, it's $2,500. That's a lot of money for a drone, and it's also being hand assembled in Mountain View, California, where the company's headquarters are. That means it's basically only for the early adopters right now. That said, drones as smart as these, they're gonna get better, they're gonna get cheaper, and they're gonna get even smarter down the line. And Skydio has proven that it's at the front of the pack. Oh my God, my chain broke. Well, my chain just fell off, but the drone's fine.

Hello, and welcome to Circle Breaker Live, the Verge's gadget show on YouTube. That's the platform you're watching. This is the show you're watching. You found it. I'm Neelai, that's Paul Miller. Hello. And we've, Sara Dietschy's here. What's up guys? We actually have a huge show today. Sara's gonna talk to us about vlogging gear. You just buy one of these cameras, instantly you're a successful vlogger. That's amazing. Our senior feature director, Michael Zlenko, is gonna talk to us about minimalist cell phones, which is a wild trend that's going on. Ashley's gonna join us. We're talking about more smart gardening tech. Spring, regardless of the snow in New York. Doesn't feel like spring right now. I'm trying to usher in that I'm gonna wear short sleeves. Yeah. Optimism. It's gonna happen. You're gonna grow some basil today, Paul. And then Jake is gonna do Ask Circle Breaker. You got a ton of questions about the new iPads. We're gonna answer all of those. But let's start. Sara, you're here. Welcome to Circle Breaker. Thank you, thank you. It's great to have you. It's great to be here. Like a real YouTuber. I'm real. I know, I don't just live in YouTube. Not one of these like fake YouTubers. I know, right? We're talking gear. We're talking gear. So much camera. So this is a true thing. Every like teenager I know wants to grow up to be a vlogger. It's a fact. I would like to grow up to be a vlogger. Me, that'd also be. It's writings for the birds. And I feel like it's pretty easy to start. You just start with a phone. A lot of people are doing that. Super easy. It's like one of my favorite things about technology. It's one of the things about your channel. Accessible. Right, like technology helps you make things. That's great. But everybody wants to know what to upgrade, what gear to get. So what's the first upgrade? If you are an aspiring vlogger, you've made some videos with your phone, you're feeling it, what's the first step? So I would say go for the point and shoot. So this is gonna be in the price range of 700 to 1000. The one that I use all the time, I started with the Mark III, I now have the Mark V, is the Sony RX100. So this is a point and shoot. You can fit it in your pocket. But it packs a lot of punch. So the price tag is $1000, but you can shoot slow motion. So you can actually go up to 960 frames per second in high frame rate mode. What do you shoot in 900? So you can get that slow-mo New York City people walking vibes, you know. But I would say it doesn't look the best. So you need to stay in about 240 or 480 to get footage that is usable. Of course, you need a lot of light. But you can shoot at 60 frames per second, 120 frames per second, and full 1080. That high frame rate mode, it does scale it up. But this can also shoot 4K. So of course, you're getting 4K in phones now. But you have to think about the sensor size. So this is a one-inch sensor, which you're not gonna get in any phones out there. So this would get better low light than a phone? Yeah, so when you think Sony, think low light. So a similar point and shoot that has the same swivel screen, it's great for vlogging, would be a Canon G7X. But that price is probably like $300 cheaper than an RX100 just because it's not as good in low light. It doesn't have that great of slow motion. So the Sony RX100 is kind of, you get everything in this tiny compact. There's one thing you don't get. But there's one thing. So when it comes to vlogging, you want good audio? Yes. You can't plug in a microphone into this. So there's no audio, Jack. There's no hot shoe or anything on this. There's nothing, no. But it is cool because you have a flash. And then you also have a viewfinder. So you have an electronic viewfinder. But yeah, so you do sacrifice a few things. But if you want that audio, Jack, you can go up to the next line of cameras, that A6000, A6500. So those are kind of in that beginner next step. Do you think Sony knew that vlogging, this camera came out a while ago, like 2012, 2013. Yeah, and they've been doing it, yeah, for a while. Yeah, they've released a new camera almost every single year from Mark I. Yeah. It's crazy. But do you think they knew that vlogging would be a trend when they designed this thing? Like you were telling earlier, if you're waiting for the Mark V, you gotta think they're gonna put an audio jack or something in the Mark V. And so, yeah, so I mean, this is the Mark V. Who knows when the Mark VI is gonna come out. But the audio jack thing, I do not think that they're gonna put a audio jack in the RX100, like ever. Really, too good? Exactly, because if they put an audio jack in the RX100, there would be no reason really to buy that like A6500 or to go that one step up. So what you're getting with that next step up is an audio jack, is interchangeable lenses, but it's just, it's those small things that will get you to upgrade to that next like $500 extra. And that is like the story of the camera industry, or like 5,000 models, and then it's like, which Venn diagram is featured. Yeah, and the confusing numbers, you know. But that's why we're here. Yeah, that's why you're here. I don't know, that's why you're here. All right, so that's the first step. And you maybe wanna think about an external microphone if you do that, too. What do you, there's like a software piece to this, too, right, you get off your phone, you no longer have Hero and iFoot, you no longer have iMovie. What software do you recommend people like start using? So usually it's in between two, Final Cut X, or Final Cut X, or Premiere Pro. So those are the big steps up. However, if you have a Mac, everyone has iMovie, I started an iMovie, there's nothing like shameful about iMovie. iMovie is confusing as hell, that's what shameful is. Okay, okay, so forget iMovie. It's funny you could use it. I like iMovie. I just don't, like, every time I use it, I think to myself, this is not teaching me how any other system is gonna work. Gotcha, yes, it's not going to translate well if you wanna go big. So you might as well go big or go home. Final Cut X, you buy it one time. So it's like one $200 fee, or $300. Premiere, you pay monthly, but you get that whole suite of products. You get Premiere, Photoshop, Lightroom, any of the products that Adobe makes, you get that for $50 a month. And so Premiere has a lot of things, and it has an ecosystem attached to Photoshop and things that I use that is really helpful. And Final Cut X, you have to think about the magnetic timeline, some of the things that are kind of just quirky about it, that it's going to be very weird if you know something before it. So if you're new, you wanna pay a one-time dollar amount. And it's faster if you have a Mac. And it's faster. So if you're on Apple, you're gonna export something that would take 15 minutes in Premiere on a Mac and like three minutes on Mac. Whereas with Premiere, you could buy a PC. And it will be like that. All right, we're not, no, no, no. A GPU. None of this, none of this. Okay, so first upgrade, point and shoot, maybe some editing software. Talk to us about the next upgrade. This is actually your rig, right? This is my rig. So it's bigger, right? So you have the Joby Gorilla Pod, which is kind of that tripod that all of these vloggers have. When I'm in my office and kind of doing more tech-related stuff, it gets to a point where it's like, let's just use a tripod. I mean, they're great. So this is my main setup. It's a Rode VideoMic Pro. This is the new version that if you see here, when I turn on my camera, the mic automatically turns on, which is very nice because previously, I would record a segment, forget to turn on my mic, and then lose all the audio, which is not good. So yeah, this is my main setup. I shoot in 24 frames per second. And then we were talking about earlier, this is a Verge exclusive, but something that I like about the Sony is you have a lot of picture profiles. So I shoot in the PP3 profile, which is basically just a flatter profile, but you get more contrast and saturation than in PP7. And what picture profiles are for people who are unaware is it's a flatter image that lends to a better editing experience when you're trying to add color, trying to color greater image to maybe a certain look that you want. This isn't like shooting raw or anything. No, no. So it's not a heavier process in your computer after, but it's basically saying you have a flatter image that you can then go and add saturation contrast at a lot to your will and make it look how you want to look. Do you color correct everything that you put on YouTube? I do, I do. Sometimes it's more heavy, sometimes it's lighter, but because I shoot with a little bit of a flatter profile, you have more diversity. The PP3. That PP3, you heard it here first, guys. I have to say, one, the chat loves that you're here. Oh, awesome. Christian says Peachy Fam in the house. Peachy Fam. And then there's just a full on Mac versus PC. Yeah. CPU versus Premiere. Fire, yeah. Or going on, one person says iMovie is a trash fire. So like, chat's doing great. So when you use this, just like show us like, okay, you're gonna film something today. Pick it up, what are your moves? Yeah, so it's basically- Show our garbage camera. Yes, oh, the dad, soccer dad camera. Don't wanna call it a dad camera. That's not true. It's true, you're gonna film your kids, right? So basically, the lens is pretty important. So this is a 16 to 35, it's a pretty wide lens. So that means when I turn it around myself, usually I have this Jobe, and I'm like, what's up guys, I'm a vlogger. This is happening. This is happening right now. Maybe this might be in a vlog of some sort. This is going to capture most of my surroundings without it being- Because you don't have a flip out screen or anything. Yeah, I don't, so you have to trust it, you know? And this is the thing with the Sony, is you can trust the autofocus system. I would say if you're looking for a camera with amazing autofocus, and that is number one priority, go with the Canon for sure. But Sony, it has good enough autofocus. So when it comes to a camera that maybe has more features and is more worth it in terms of specs, I would go with the GH5. Wow. Strong rack. Yes, but I- So it should be a little- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so- This is a Panasonic GH5. Yeah, so these are the two I would put next to each other. So you have the Sony A7S II, and then you have the GH5. GH5 has a swivel screen, which is clutch. So when you're vlogging, you turn it around. We can see each other, see? Oh, that's amazing. Hey! But then when you do it, you're going to be constantly looking in that swivel screen. You got to pay attention to the audience, you know? But this, so it can shoot up to 180 frames per second. So it does super slow-mo. You have the swivel screen. You have the different picture profiles, and it doesn't have a record limit. So when you hit 30 minutes on this, it's going to shut off. You have to hit it again. It sounds like it's on, right? Well, it's technically a photo camera. It's like an import tax thing. Yes, it's an import tax thing. Oh, shit. So they can call this a photography camera and not get an extra video camera tax put on it. Crazy. So this, the GH5, is technically a video camera. So they can go past that 30-minute record limit. And so there's things like that, but then the autofocus in this, awful. So there's a lot of things out there on the internet that are like autofocus fix. If you film in like 30 frames per second, and you do this thing, it will be fixed, which is- Tricks that you, for how you use the camera or what you literally put in front of the frame? Tricks for settings in the camera. However, that's dependent on the, are we NTSC here? Is that US? So it's dependent on the PAL system and stuff, so it really doesn't help for shooting in 24 frames per second. So there's a lot of trade-offs, but this is also a micro four-thirds sensor. So- And this is full frame. And this is full frame. So maybe I'm just picky, but when I compared the footage of both of them, instantly you're like, oh, that full frame look. I miss that full frame look. So we have a couple minutes left, but we have some new Sony cameras here. So to walk us through the line, because you're saying you're waiting for the A7S III, A7 III S, but we have the new versions of the IIIs. And this is deeply confusing to me. Oh, it is so confusing. So let's put these next to each other. So this is the A7R III. So when it comes to the art, think photography. So this has almost double the amount of pixels as this. So when you're shooting uncompressed raw on an A7R III, you're gonna get like an 80 megabyte, almost 100 megabyte file to work with. So photography, A7S II video, but we're waiting for an A7S III. It might be around the corner, who knows? So A7S II video, A7R III photography. And then you have this like awkward, I mean, this lens is beautiful. I mean, like, look at this lens first of all. This is the 85 1.4. How much is a lens like this? This is a G series? Yeah, it's a G series. It's probably like 2,500. I should have looked before, but this isn't mine. I wish it was mine. Yeah. If you could. Oh, good. Sarah came on circuit, everybody. Do you monetize it, people? How do you ever do it? Sarah, well, she robbed us. I know. It was great. She told us about specs and then she robbed us. And then I robbed the 85, yeah. So these two are brand new, but you're saying for vlogging, you're waiting. Either buy this one now if you wanna get into it or wait for the- Or wait. Maybe go with an RX100. And this last one is the A73, which is a good middle ground. So it's not gonna be as expensive as the new A7R, but the A7, A6500, those are good middle grounds. And then lastly, so you've made the big upgrade. You're living in this world. Yes. And you, this is, Sarah actually showed up with this stuff with all these cases and all this tape. Yeah. Because managing these cameras is apparently very hard. Yes, and these are very basic things. Maybe it's like old school rule or things that people did, but with an A7S, you're gonna go through batteries like that. So I have 10 to 15 batteries. So it's, you wanna be able to manage and know what batteries are alive and what are dead. So basically if I number my batteries, this is just washi tape. And basically if it's on top, that means it's good to go. And when the battery is dead, I just stick the washi tape on the bottom. And so when it's at the bottom of my bag, I know that this is dead. Do not grab the battery. You already showed this to me in rehearsal. So I knew this was coming, but it's still pretty wide blown. And it's just- Cause these things burn through batteries, right? Yes, like crazy. So just tape, you know? And then these are basically two SD Pelican cases that I use just for SD cards. You only accidentally delete footage once, you know? That's only a problem that you happen, it happens once and then you try to fix it. So basically I keep all of my full SD cards in one case and all of my empty SD cards in another. Look at that. So I know, so the full, it's like, don't touch Sarah. You still need to load this onto the computer. What happened to these? Man. Were you chewing on them? Vlogging life is a rough one, guys. All right, so if you are, a lot of people are asking if they can just start with their phones. It's actually the most common comment we've gotten. People are arguing, a lot of people saying phones are fine. Yeah, totally. Just start with your phone. Yeah, the Note 8 I got to play with recently has a lot of great like slow-mo and stuff. And then I'm a user of the iPhone 10, which is good. Yeah, what's a good upgrade if you just have a phone? If you just wanna stick with your phone? Goodness, in terms of accessories, maybe, I would say check out Moment lenses. Really? Because they really help take your phone and bring it to that next level because you basically put a case on your phone. Yeah, we had tons of Moment lenses on the show last week. Oh, it's fantastic. You have telephoto, fisheye, wide. I would have 100% guessed you were gonna say a microphone. Yeah, sure. I love it. Okay, Sarah, tell the people where to find you, where to watch your channel. Yes, you can just Google Sarah Peachy, but also if you're on the internet, maybe my name's somewhere, you can just find me at youtube.com slash Sarah Deechy. It's a hard last name. That's all right, I feel your pain. Sarah Deechy Renz De Peachy. What's your last name? Patel. Oh, but you can spell that. My first name's Neelay. I know, I know. Let's go to another difficult last name. Jake Castronakis is here. He's gonna answer all your questions about that new iPad. Take away, Jake. We had a ton of questions about the new iPad last week. It just came out. We just posted our review of it today, but I still wanted to go over some of the most common questions that we got. And the really, really big one was about the screen. We got a ton of questions asking about how it compares to other iPad screens. And the reason this is coming up is because the screen on the iPad Pro is just so good. And the answer is this display is not as good. That's because the iPad is $300 cheaper than the iPad Pro. So what you're missing is the anti-reflective coating. You're missing the high refresh rate. You're missing the wider color gamut. And the one thing that people keep asking about is the air gap. There's gonna be a little tiny bit of a gap between the glass display and the actual LCD itself. And if you're just looking at the screen for the first time, if you're not looking at them side by side, it's still going to be a really nice screen. If you've seen any other iPad, you will know Apple makes very good screens for these tablets. They are one of the best you can get. But if you do put it side by side, it is clear that the iPad Pro still has a way better screen. And that is really the reason to get it. So if you're a designer or somebody who that really matters for, that's still gonna be the way to go. The second question we had was, is this iPad gonna be good for gaming? And I think it's gonna be about as good as any other iPad. I'm not necessarily huge on touchscreen controls, but I think it's fun for stuff like Hearthstone. We were just talking about PUBG and Battlegrounds the other day. You can definitely do those too. The specs are basically the same as the iPhone 7. So if you use that or any newer iPhone, you know what you're gonna get, should be good. And then our last question, again, just a whole sort of a short run of questions, which is how does this compare to other iPads? We already went over the screen. That's really the big differentiator. It now supports the pencil. So both of them are equal on that level. Really the big other difference is that the iPad Pro has the keyboard connector. And so I would say that unless you're really planning to use this for graphic design or to replace your laptop, that the cheaper iPad is probably gonna have everything that you need. And the thing I would really wanna point out is that you can basically buy two iPads for the price of an iPad Pro. So if you think you'd rather have two, you probably don't need the Pro. And the iPad probably has everything that you need since it is already one of the best tablets out there. So that's all for me. We now have a video from Phil who is gonna try to figure out how to use a Harmony remote. Hi, I consider myself to be a pretty technological person. I've wanted a Harmony remote for a long time. So I think this should be pretty simple. I don't really know what this thing does. I assume this plugs into the TV somehow. I don't think it's a touch screen because nothing works and it just says myharmony.com. So I'm gonna go to myharmony.com. Do, do, do, do, do. All right, welcome to Harmony. It says nothing about how to set this up. I'm kinda stuck. Oh, I found an instruction. I'm just kidding, I found a poster that I ripped. So I have to get my computer, which I don't really wanna do. This seems like a lot of setup to just get a remote working. One micro USB cable. I don't know where the micro USB port is on here. It's plugged in and nothing's happening. I'm gonna refer back to my poster. I just set up an account for the remote. Setup.myharmony and there's software to download. All right. Like 10 minutes deep and I haven't even gotten this remote off of the whatever splash screen that it's on. This app looks like it's from 1999. Oh man, this is rough. Do you see that? It looks horrible. I just got an email, the first of many. Your remote's ready in four simple steps. I've already done like seven steps. Okay, it's now giving me the option I can drag and drop like 30 different common inputs. I can't even find HDMI, which doesn't make sense to me. All right, it's not set up properly. I don't know what I did wrong. It's probably video eight instead of video nine, but I'm still on the splash screen and I now feel that I've wasted $250. Don't buy this. We're back. By the way, still trying to set up that remote. One of my favorite things of all time. That feels like everything I've ever tried to do with all technology. I know, Paul, you're on the show every week. All right, Michael Znago's here. Hello, Michael. Michael is our senior features editor. That's right. You recently underwent what sounds like a very painful experiment. You tried to live with one of these minimal cell phones for two weeks, actually all of them. All of them. So over the course of two weeks, I played with four phones in an effort to kind of disconnect a little bit and try out some minimal devices. And these are real hype right now. These are hype. There's a bit of a movement going on with people kind of disconnecting a little bit with their phones. So we got four of pretty minimal devices here, and people just kind of like, little fewer features, can't really text that well, no cameras, that kind of stuff. Were you exploring this life to see if it was for you or to see what the draw was for other people? I think a little bit of both. So I have an iPhone 6, which isn't the newest phone, but it's new enough. But I find it extremely distracting. I would find myself like scrolling through my feeds for hours on end. So I was curious to see what it'd be like to play with one of these and maybe spend a little bit less time on my phone. And you loved it, is what I heard. Wow. All right, let's start. What do we got? What are these things? I didn't love it. All right, so this is the unihertz Jelly. Let's get this going. So this is just an Android phone. I mean, it's extremely tiny. That's the first thing you'll notice about it. It runs Android 7. It has a front-facing and a back-facing camera. The specs on these cameras are not good. The specs on these cameras are not important. The specs on these cameras are not important and not that interesting. But what is interesting about it- It's just a tiny little Android phone. It's just a tiny little Android phone. It's a phone for babies. Sorry, this is hilarious. Oh, it's in Slack? Can I open your Snapchat? Yeah, I don't think I'm logged in, but you can open it. This is hilarious. Yeah. It's just a little, is it a slider? It doesn't slide. It looks like it slides. But you will break it if you try to slide it. What about the keyboard aspect? So the thing is, the problem with this phone is that the keyboard is very, very tiny. I mean, the entire thing is extremely tiny, but actually trying to use this is almost impossible. So like, I have normal size fingers, which most people do, and it makes everything hellish. Hellish. Hello? Hellid- Hello? Yeah, yeah. That's the drawback. I mean, the other drawback is this phone has about four hours of battery life. So I ended up having to carry on a battery pack with me, which defeated the whole purpose of having a minimal device. I felt very connected to the battery pack while I was using a very disconnected phone. All right, so that's, how much is this thing? This thing's 130. Okay. Which is pretty cheap. All right. Not bad. And then this is like big hype last year. This is big hype. 3310. That's right. So Nokia, they released the version last year. It is almost identical to the original, although it has a bigger screen. By the way, everyone in the chat is saying you should use glide typing on the little- On that? I think it would be hell. I still think it would be hell. So you open this up and it kind of looks like it's updated. It looks like a new phone. It's got Facebook. It's got Facebook. You think it has Facebook, but you'll actually open it and- Oh, it needs a SIM card. But it opens the WAP browser. Yeah, it opens a browser and you have to like, navigating this thing is like almost impossible. I tried to log in Facebook for like 10 minutes. I finally gave up. It's really not worth it. And same with the Twitter app. They're not real apps. It's got T9 typing? It's got T9, so you have to kind of like, brush off your T9 skills, and mine are not good. Yeah. But if you wanted- You find yourself using more abbreviations. You do, and you find yourself making a lot more typos, and your punctuation goes down the tubes. But if you want to text less, maybe it's not a bad thing, right? Like if you're trying to disconnect and be less in conversations, then maybe having T9 is a good way to go. What about Snake? What about Snake? It's got Snake. Snake's pretty good still. Oh no. It's Gableoft. Oh no. Has this been dressed up? Oh, it's been super dressed up. What a jam. Yeah. This is too much. This is not what you want from Snake. I don't know. This is kind of exactly what I want. I don't want these graphics. I want LCD blocks. All right, what is this one? All right, sorry. This one is my favorite one. It looks cool. Look at that. So this is the Punk'd MP-01. Punk'd is a Swiss company. They make a bunch of minimal products. They decided to make a phone. This phone costs more than you would expect. This phone costs $230. What? And this phone only does two things. So this phone only, you can only make calls and you can only text. Texting is T9. It has a couple of buttons on the front. This is your phone book. And this is where you can text. The big problem with this phone is that it breaks up text and it doesn't thread them. So you have an inbox, an outbox, drafts, templates. Why don't you build Outlook instead of just threaded texting? It's actually insane to have this phone in 2018. I don't want to embarrass you. I just want to help explain T9 for people that- Oh, you want me to create a message? Like I'll do it if you want. Like I- I mean, all right, here we go. I mean, explain T9. Oh, here's the other awful part about this phone is that this thing, which is supposed to capitalize the first letter in a sentence and then keep all the ones in lower caps, doesn't work. So it'll just cap all of them, which makes you sound like a lunatic or like you're really angry. Or excited about me. Yeah. That's supposed to be... Well, we got more cases. Point being, point being, I'm not very good at this. Well, that's T9. T9 is you push the number multiple times to get to one of the letters. In case someone, you know, so we've got a young audience. That's true. Yeah. Anyways, this is how, so it's very slow, but it kind of does like help you disconnect. If you want to text last- How much does that thing cost? $230. Look at that. And it only operates on a 2G network. And only T-Mobile has a 2G network. And only T-Mobile has a 2G network and they're going to phase out their network within the next two years. So if you're going to buy it, buy it now. Are they going to come out with a 3G version? This is definitely the world's most expensive burner. Yes. That's all that is. Okay. And it looks pretty good. It's very pretty. It's so pretty. It looks very nice. This is the hypest hype of all. This is the hypest hype. This is the light phone. This is $150. This does exactly one thing, which is make phone calls. So I'm going to turn it on. So this thing is actually really, really cool. Although it does hardly anything. All you can do is make phone calls. You can store 10 numbers in it, but you have to save the numbers when you connect the phone to your computer. And that's kind of all it does. So you can either tether it to your smartphone or you can have a 2G SIM in here. And it's kind of cool. Honestly, this looks like the most futuristic thing I've seen in a really long time. Even though it looks clunky and basic, there's something extremely futuristic about how light it is, how small it is. It's the size of a business card. Even like the crappiness of this display is like a little bit futuristic. Yeah. Like glowing. I have an idea. Just see here. Got my Metro card going. Is this going to work? Yeah. I wonder if you want to sit on it. Get up with a real Kostanza situation. Try not to show off my credit card. I hear you back. All right. Pretty good. You got a phone. Hang on. Let me make a phone call. Oh, yeah. Let's pull this out of my wallet. Wait, how's the audio quality on all these? Well, let's find out. Let's find out. I'll call my phone. I don't want to show the camera. Don't let anybody know. Someone's going to use like reflections in your eyeballs. Calling. Calling. Ready? Neal. Yo, what's up? I don't know. I was just hanging out. You sound terrible. You sound great. Like this takes, here. I do. It does have a great voice over here. Neal. Yeah. You sound awful. I mean, I will say that this makes, this speaker makes your voice sound deep and resonant, but when you talk through it, it takes all of the low end out of your voice. Yeah, this is extremely painful. How much is this thing? This thing is 150 bucks. They ship 10,000 units. What's exciting about this is that they're releasing a second version, or at least they say they will next year, and you're going to be able to text on it. It's kind of like an E Ink display now, right? Yeah, the next one's going to have an E Ink display. They say that it's even going to have some apps. They're going to have like some navigation stuff in it, some music stuff in it. This is like the thing, right? You start with a super minimal phone, and then the next version, you got to add features. I view it not as minimalism, but that we want to burn everything down and build from the ashes. Build from scotch. Yeah. This one isn't going to have, what they're not going to have is social media or news. Those are the two things that are like, we're definitely not having that. Everything else, they're like negotiable. So if you had to actually use one of these as your only phone for a while, which one would you go with? I would use this one. The smartphone. The smartphone. Because honestly, T9 is a little unbearable, and I do need to text. So this thing is really cool, but like honestly, nobody's going to pick up my calls. Like nobody picks up calls anymore. So even if you have this and you're like, well, I have a phone in case of emergency, nobody's going to pick up your call in case you're in an emergency. You'll be stuck by the side of the road and you'll die. This thing is cool because it's like, it does minimize the amount of time you spend on it because it's so uncomfortable and painful to use. This is my whole thing. On my desktop, I use a bad Twitter client because after a while I'm like, I got to stop using Twitter, it's horrible. So it limits my use. This is the keep it small theory. Slightly crappy technology if you want to know. Fahrenheit 451, the guy has a small TV instead of the big room sized TV. Yeah. You went straight to Fahrenheit 451. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, read Fahrenheit 451. It's a classic for a reason, people. Thank you, Michael. You're welcome. I'm sorry that you are required to use this time. That's fine from now on. For the rest of my life. All right, Paul. Yeah. I can't stop you from making these videos, man. Nobody can stop me. What'd you do? Well, I was so excited that we were going to see Sarah's vlogging setup. I wanted to talk to James, one of our photographers here at The Verge about his product photography setup. So I shadowed him for a photo shoot. Check it out. Hey, it's your friend, Paul Miller. I'm here at the office early Friday morning. It's probably around 7 a.m. Here to check out James Barum's photography process. He does all the photos for The Verge. Well, not all the photos. He does some of the cool photos for The Verge. I want to see how does he get that Verge look. Step one, find James. James. Yes. How's it going? It's going well, Paul. I know it's really early in the morning. It's half past 10. But I wanted to see your process. Well, thank you. Welcome to my process. Tip one, have a camera. Have a camera. So shooting on the 5D Mark III with a lovely, love this lens. What is it? 50 millimeter 1.2. So it's a standard lens. 50 millimeter lens is the closest to the focal length of the human eye. And then tip two. Have some light. Have some light so that you can see. And when you have your lights, so subsection of tip two, have a main light and a fill light. Tip three, always have access to reflectors, both dark shadow reflectors and bright. We've got white around here if we needed that. There are little tricks that you can do. Like have, you have a laptop, I believe. Most laptops, if they're like silver or bright, you can open them up and they make an awesome reflector. And if you have a coat, you can have a reflector in there and a coat put at the other side and that creates shadow. Just little things moving around. It's all simple. So what we have is we have the shadow coming this way, it's from this light. And the main light, I love to have all the main light in all of the shots we do or as many as possible when we do still life to come from the top. So it's like the light is coming from your eyeball as a viewer? No, it's like you're sitting in the same light as the subject we're shooting. Because if you're outside, the light is up here or you're in a room, the lights are in the ceiling. So when you're looking at, it kind of mimics the lighting around you. If we keep the lighting consistent across different products, if we have a phone and a laptop and a camera that we've all shot, and it's all on theverge.com, great website, check it out. Check it out. All of these images are consistent. Okay. They fit. So there's like a context almost. Exactly. We don't shoot things and then cut them out and put them on a color background. We shoot them for real. Real plus cycle. Real but better. He does actually call it real plus. I do. That is no lie. Then tip four is make sure you have little bits of gaffer tape or little bits of putty to make things level and stand up. Clean the products. But we don't want to clean it because real plus is, we want it to be real. We don't want it to look like an ad. We don't want it to look like it's a render. This is real Google Glass. And then tip, where are we up to tip four? I believe. Nobody knows. Always when you're shooting a picture, try and keep the camera level and square. You don't want to be coming in from one angle or another because it distorts things. And then I really like the fiddling aspect. So you basically have your variables, which are the two lights, the reflector and the shadower. Yes. And then you fiddle with all those variables. And you balance. And then obviously you get the subject of the frame and level and stuff like that. It's like recording music in a studio. It's all about the mix. You have all of the components and then you mix it. It's all about the mix. It's all about the mix. Thanks James. Thank you very much Paul. I learned so much. I've learned so much. I like saying these things because I make it up as I go along kind of. Yeah. We're back. Ashley's here. Hello. People were asking where you were at the beginning. Really? Yeah. Well I'm here. You're here. So real quick, I just want everybody to know, we're aware of the situation at YouTube headquarters. The team in our newsroom is covering it. You can go to theverge.com and check out more. We'll be covering it all day. It's very serious. We've just got one more segment of the show. So we're just gonna wrap up. And then we're gonna go check in on that. So hopefully everyone is, YouTube is okay. But we're just gonna wrap up and move on to that. So Ash. Yes. You brought us plants. Yes. Because you know what? It's miserable outside, Neely. And we need some spring. It is snowing in April in New York City. It's fine. We're all gonna. I'm trying to like usher, be the change I wanna see in the world by wearing a short sleeve shirt. I'm so proud of you. Thank you. So I brought us a new gadget that's on the market yet, but before we get to it, I wanted to kind of look back at smart planter attempts. So Neely, you are intimately familiar with Eden. I have, this is my Eden. Yeah, this is yours. So you can see how dirty it is. This is actually outside in our garden. So this is a smart planting system. So you have a regular garden outside, we had just regular dirt in the ground. This is a soil sensor. It's solar powered, connects to your wifi. It's actually really cool how it connects to wifi. It's a system called blink. So it flashes a light and you hold your phone up to it or your phone flashes at screen and a light sensor reads your wifi faster. Kind of like a QR code, but. With flashing lights. So this sticks in the ground. It measures your soil, moisture, and nutrients and all that. It tells what plants you have. It tells you if it's the soil is appropriate for plants, what you might need to do. And it pings dark sky, so it knows that it's gonna rain. And then this is the watering valve. So you plug your garden hose into this side, you plug your sprinkler into this side, and if it's not gonna rain, this thing opens up, starts watering your plants. So what's the catch? The catch is, this is all designed by Eve Behar. They sold them in Home Depot for a while, they're a big deal. It's a tiny little startup of a company and that is the catch. So it's a tiny little startup of a company. I wanted to show everybody the app. They're having server problems. I can't log in right now. I really like them, I met their CEO, he's a nice guy. I hope they survive. But with every cloud connected gadget, you just gotta make the bet. Is this company gonna survive? Are they still gonna sell pods for me? Here's my question, are your plants alive? The plants did great, because they were watered. That's what I've realized, is that people just don't water their plants. So all of these gadgets are just like, oh, we'll water the plant for you. Yeah, that's it. This thing seems ridiculous. So okay, so Eden. It does measure soil pH, but it's a whole thing. It's acidity and you never really did anything with that. We didn't need to. Okay, you just have great soil up there. That's true. So Parrot, the drone company, I do not know why, randomly, maybe back in 2015, they announced it. They announced this Parrot Pot, which the idea behind it is it's like a plant babysitter. It's supposed to keep your plants alive. It can go indoor or outdoor. And it has a light sensor, so it's looking at light. Has a temperature sensor, moisture sensor, and importantly, instead of a hose hookup, it has a reservoir, so you fill it up with water, double-lay batteries to power it, and it connects over Bluetooth to your phone. So I'm gonna show you guys this. We've planted something called a snake plant. It does look snakey. I don't trust it. Snake plant. I took a picture of our snake plant. I've seen these my whole life and never knew what they were called. So I'm connected to our planter right now. It tells me water level and also how moist the soil is. You can put it in automatic mode where it can last for a month, they say, so you can take a nice long vacation. Right now, it's pairing, which we know. So exciting. This has been a very slow pairing process. I will say, you called Parrot a drone company, but I've been covering Parrot long enough to know that Parrot will just hop on any trend. It's like they invented a Bluetooth chip, and they're like, what can we do with it? Is that what it is? Because they were a Bluetooth headset company. Oh, they did headsets. They did like car stereo stuff. We're really just vamping while this thing pairs. This is incredible. Connection in progress. I mean, this is really slow. So clearly their Bluetooth chip is not great. Well, it's designed for transit. No, I don't think they were building all of the seasons of their Bluetooth stack. But I will say that this was originally priced at, uh-oh, connection failed. Classic circuit breaker. This has never happened. This is so depressing. Please work. And there's no way to put it in a pairing mode. By the way, if you can see this message, it says please move closer to your pot. It's like, how much closer? We're here. We're basically in the pot. So it was originally priced at 150. You can find them online for like 50 bucks now. They don't make these anymore. Okay. I think I know why. Yeah. This is depressing because I really want to show you guys. Oh, there we go. Oh, wait. It's... Ooh. Ooh. It's like, got it, and then it's like, no. Man, please. All right, let's move on to the next thing, and I'll keep trying to pair them. This is so sad. I will tell you, this demo made me laugh and laugh and laugh really, so I want to do it. I know. It's really exciting. Okay, I'm going to move it really slowly. Maybe. Maybe. All right. All right. Bye. So in the past, we have talked about this gadget, the Click and Grow. I just brought it here for reference because Click and Grow is actually doing, I think, decently well. They're still in business, which is, at this point, a good thing. How about the soil pots? And their way to monetize. So with the pair pot, you could use your own plants. The Eden, it's your own garden, whatever you wanted. Click and Grow's like, you know what? We're going to monetize by selling you proprietary pots, which is why I love them. And this is not actually connected. It's a timer light. And the app, the idea originally, I think, was to try to teach people how they could garden at home and have their own indoor garden. But unfortunately, their app has been really bad about teaching people. That was one of my big gripes. All right, so with all of this in the background, Neelai's still working on this pair of pots. I'm going to try to figure it out. We have this massive thing. The Grow Duo. What is that? So it's from a company called Grow. They're in New York City. This is designed to go outside. You don't need proprietary pots. It's your own seeds. And it has sensors in the bottom. So for the soil, it's measuring the moisture and temperature. And outside, it has a light sensor, a temperature sensor. And you'll see inside, it hooks up to your hose, has a little sprinkler system. There's two of them. Because you want to know what to do. So when it detects that it needs water, the sprinkler's automatically trying to get your hose on. What's your involvement at this point? At this point, you would have to plant the seeds and harvest them. And they give you tasks. So they want you to feel like you're still part of the garden. So they're like, you should prune your basil. They give you tasks? Yeah, they're like, you should prune. Yeah. Farmville. Yeah, you're grinding for basil. Oh my god, is it connected? It is. I didn't want to tell you. I wanted to surprise you. I mean, wait, can we go back to this? No, finish this, and then we'll end with this. And we'll be excited. OK. So you can see this is my planter. I earlier planted beets, which I have. But OK, so you can see we have basil in there. There's other herbs. Their big idea, because clearly monetization is huge, they want to also sell people these seed sheets. At least they're not pods. They're not pods. That's a sheet of seeds. It's a sheet of seeds. So in the app, it would show you what you would do. Everything is pods. This flies in the face of everything I thought I knew about seeds. You would lay this in there, put this little sprinkler right through the middle. This will disintegrate. It would ask you to sprinkle a little soil on top. And then it is planted, and I can view it. What it'll do, and what they really like about this, is they suggest to you different vegetables and things that will work in your environment. So knows you're in New York City, you'll say, hey, it's winter. This is kind of your option. Is this beets and basil, essentially. So these are good to grow during winter. Right. They suggest things that are good for you. I mean, early spring. And it'll tell you when it's going to be able to harvest. So we just planted these now. It would be ready at the end of May. So I can look at my activities here. Oh my god. Here are my activities. I'm actually going to go with the prune. And it's going to teach me a little bit about how to prune them. So this is really trying to teach you how to be a farmer. It wants you to feel involved. Right. And then when the apocalypse comes, you're like, thank god this robot taught me how to farm. Yes. Where are my seed sheets? There. Shed sheets. I'm going to cut some basil. Because this is the one skill I did actually learn when I used the Click and Grow earlier this year. By the way, somebody in the chat said, I see Click and Grow at all my friends' houses. Seriously? And they're all dried up in the corner. Oh no. Oh, who is this person? I want to know them, actually. OK. I'm going to cut these guys. You always want to leave two basil plants. Maybe I should have picked one closer. Oh well. I think I'm screwing this up, guys. But you know what? Don't worry about it. It's fine. We got more basil. You can always get another seed sheet. All right. I have a cold, so I can't smell anything. But I will let Paul and Neely smell it to certify this is real basil. I feel like basil's the official plant of the Circuit Breaker show. Yeah. We've grown a lot of basil. It smells great. It's our mascot. Can we eat this? It smells really good. You can definitely eat it. I mean, go free. You can eat it. I'm not going to eat it. Is it good? Yeah. Tastes like basil? I'll try it later. It's like a very exciting toothpaste. Caleb says, I've seen a clicking grow at multiple friends' parents' houses. Oh. And they are dried up in the corner. It's a good Christmas present. Well, OK. My parents, I actually got them a clicking grow for the holidays. And my dad was so upset that the tomatoes really can't get very high up. And they're really small. So he planted them in his own planter. And now they are thriving. So he took them out of the clicking grow. All right, Ashley. All right. This is very exciting. So going back to the parent pot just for a second, because I want to show you how the water system works. So there's a reservoir. If I press water. No. Did you just bail out? No. Because I'm not connected. This is a lie. It's super lied to us. Dammit. Wait, let me try putting this app in. All right, well. I think when you close the app. Everybody just use your imagination. We're going to get this. Streams of water. By the way, if you want to know why this product is no longer on the market. OK, well, I will say about the move. OK, OK. You got it? All right, ready? Here we go. Water it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Technology makes everything easy. We did it. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. We did it, everybody. We watered that plant. OK, Ashley, thank you so much. Thank you. All of you, please grow plants. Oh, what's the price on this? $199. It's not available until July. That's actually not terrible. No. And it comes with all the seed sheets and things. All right. So here's what I learned on Secondary today. We're going to start gardens. We're going to become vloggers. We're going to vlog about our gardens. Absolutely. And we're going to call our friends on tiny phones. And they won't pick up. They won't pick up. And then we'll just go back to gardening. There we go. That's right. That was Circle Breaker, everybody. If you want to hear more about it, if you want to see more news about what's happening on YouTube, check this site. Again, I hope everybody is OK. Thank you for watching. We'll see you next week, 4 PM Eastern, at Circle Breaker Live. Enjoy gardening. You

Let's say you want to buy a tablet and you want to spend less than, I don't know, call it 500 bucks. Well, the obvious option is to get this, the sixth generation iPad that Apple just announced. But what else could you do? I guess there's Windows tablets, but at that price point, they suck. Android tablets, they're basically dead. They don't exist anymore. There's only one Chrome OS tablet, and who knows if it's any good. I don't think it will be that good. And Amazon tablets are basically only good for watching Amazon Prime and reading Kindle books. And this iPad, which starts at $329, isn't just the obvious option, it's basically the only option. So, thank God it's so good. So here's the deal with the new iPad. Apple announced it at an education event, so you might think it's an education-only iPad, but it's basically just the new iPad. And everything about this iPad is almost exactly the same as last year's iPad. It has the same very good screen, but it isn't laminated, which means there's a tiny little air gap from the glass to the screen. Unless you're really a pixel pedant, it's not gonna bother you. It has the same Touch ID software, it's got cameras, it does not have the smart connector for attaching a keyboard. It's basically the same iPad that you know and love. Okay, so what's actually new? Well, only two things. One is that it has a new processor, the A10, so it's slightly faster. And two, it supports this, the $99 Apple Pencil. And honestly, that's it. I said last year that if you need a new iPad, you should get a new iPad, and you should get this iPad because it's an iPad. And that same advice basically holds. If your iPad is old and busted and slow or whatever, go ahead and get this new iPad. And if it's not, don't. Stick with what you got. So this year, the real question isn't, is this iPad any good? Because of course it's good. It's an iPad. But the real question is, should you spend twice as much to get this thing, the iPad Pro? Well, let's look at the differences between these two iPads and see if it's worth it. So the first thing you'll notice is that the iPad Pro has a bigger screen. It's 10.5 inches versus 9.7. But the iPad Pro also has a nicer screen. It has a higher refresh rate. Apple calls it ProMotion. And you can really see it when you scroll really fast. But I don't know, you're not gonna notice it most of the time, I don't think. But the iPad Pro also has a wider color gamut, and it also has this thing called True Tone, where it adjusts the color temperature of the screen to the room. Sure, that's great. I don't know how important it is to most people. Other iPad Pro differences, it has four speakers instead of just two, so you can hear it in stereo no matter how you're holding it. It has a smart connector so that you can attach a smart keyboard to it. The iPad Pro also has better cameras, and it also has a faster touch ID sensor. Fine. For me, the biggest difference is that the iPad Pro has four gigs of RAM, and the iPad, regular old iPad, iPad has two gigs of RAM. And you wouldn't think that matters, but it does because if you have two apps open in split screen and you bring a third in slide over, on the iPad Pro, you can still use the apps in the background. But on the regular iPad, if you bring up a third app, the apps in the background freeze, and you have to dismiss this top app before you can go back to what you were doing. If I'm honest, I think the only way to justify the extra price of the iPad Pro is if you really know for sure you're going to use it for full-on computer things. If you're going to be editing movies and editing photos and using it as your main computer, and you fully understand all the weird ways that iOS handles files and other main computer stuff that you want to do. If you just want to do tablet stuff, if you want to watch Netflix and read books and browse the web and play games, then the regular old iPad, iPad is going to be way better for the vast majority of people. Yeah, if you can't tell, I really love this iPad. The battery life is great, it's fast, it does everything I want an iPad to do. But if I'm being honest, I really do think that Apple basically did the bare minimum here. They updated the processor and they added pencil support. There's a lot of stuff on the iPad Pro I wish they had found a way to put here. For example, more speakers. You could listen in stereo in landscape mode if they put speakers on this side. But most importantly, I wish that they had added a smart connector on the bottom so you could attach a keyboard to it without having to fuss around with Bluetooth keyboards. How much would it have cost to add some of that stuff to this iPad? I don't know, maybe a little, maybe a lot. But I guess if you're Apple, you're looking around the tablet market and you're thinking, meh, I might as well keep this thing as cheap as possible so that as many people as possible own iPads. And really, that's the lesson with this iPad. Nothing else in the tablet space even comes close to this thing. Nothing is as fast, nothing has as many apps or apps that are anywhere near as good. Really the only competition for this iPad is a more expensive iPad, so why not keep the price low? Are there things that annoy me about this iPad? Yeah, of course, there's dozens of things that annoy me about this iPad. I've mentioned a bunch of them in this video. But would I recommend another tablet, one that costs less than $500, up against this iPad? Absolutely not. There's nothing else out there. Just get this iPad. Do I wish that there was more competition? Sure, I do, but until that happens, I'm just glad that Apple made this iPad as good as they did. Hey everybody, thanks for watching. You're welcome for me not saying it's an iPad, it's an iPad, it's an iPad 50 million times, but you know what? It's an iPad.

Hey, it's Phil from The Verge. We're here at the 2018 New York Auto Show. This has been the year of trickle-down technology. We're seeing a lot of tech previously exclusive to $70,000 plus cars, making its way into cars that you and I can actually afford. The most notable byproduct of this trickle-down technology is the new Nissan Altima. It has a nice exterior refresh, but the interior and what's under the hood is the real big deal here. For the first time, Nissan's offering an all-wheel drive option to the base 2.5-liter engine. It's a really big deal because the Camry and the Accord, which are both direct competitors for the Altima, don't offer this. Second, Nissan's dropping the V6 for a four-cylinder turbo, which is kind of the move across the board for all midsize sedans. But what's important here is this engine has variable compression. It's essentially the VC turbo engine from the Infiniti QX50. This means the pistons can adjust travel in real time, changing the engine's compression, giving you the option of both better performance and greater fuel economy. It's really advanced engine tech. However, Nissan says you can't option the all-wheel drive with the VC turbo. Nissan's also offering ProPilot Assist as an option for the new Altima. This is their level two self-driving tech. Essentially, it's cruise control on steroids. The car can maintain speeds like radar cruise control, but it'll also keep the car in lane with minimal driver input. We saw ProPilot on the Leaf and the Rogue, and adding it to the Altima just continues to push self-driving tech forward. Of course, like most 2019-modeled cars, you have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Nissan has yet to release pricing, but you can expect the price to start around the low 20s and mid 30s for the top-end model. Nissan's offering a launch edition VC Altima this summer, and the rest of the models will be available in the fall. Volkswagen's here with their new Atlas to note. It's a concept, but Volkswagen has pretty specifically listed the specs, which is not something most companies do unless they plan on actually making this concept a reality. It's powered by VW's 3.6-liter V6 engine, four-motion all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Like the Atlas, it's based on you have Volkswagen's digital cockpit replacing the traditional gauge cluster. Also, a simplified version of the dual touchscreens from the new Audi A6 and A7, the top screen for your media and the bottom for your HVAC controls. It's a really nice interior, as it should be. The Atlas is at the higher end of Volkswagen's lineup. But just looking at it, this is the Volkswagen pickup truck for the modern era, and Volkswagen definitely needs to make this thing real. Waymo and Jaguar are here with their new all-electric I-PACE fitted with Waymo's fully autonomous tech. The I-PACE was announced earlier this month. It starts at $70,000, offering 240 miles of range with nearly 400 horsepower. The new deal with Waymo claims will build up to 20,000 units, with a plan to start public testing by the end of 2018. The Waymo integrated I-PACE won't be available for anyone to buy. Rather, it will be used as a luxury option for Waymo's commercial ride-hailing service. Like every American auto show, many of the big announcements came in the shape of a truck, crossover, or SUV. Toyota debuted a new RAV4 with updated styling, the new Dynamic Force 2.5-liter engine found in the Camry, and an eight-speed automatic. It looks great. Toyota is going to sell a ton of these things. Cadillac joined the small SUV market with the XT4, starting at $35,000, which is surprisingly low. You get a 2-liter four-cylinder turbo with a nine-speed auto. I think it looks weird, that's just my opinion. Subaru released an updated Forester. It's larger and comes standard with Subaru's EyeSight offering adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and a few other safety features. What's most important is that EyeSight is standard, even on the base model. So any family that's wanting to pick up this car, you're going to be getting all of these safety features at the lowest possible base model price. Finally, and to my surprise, I was really impressed with the new Genesis G70. Before I dive in, it's worth mentioning that Genesis debuted the new Essentia concept. It's all-electric, it looks crazy and beautiful at the same time, as it should, because it is very much a concept car. Anyways, we've seen bits and pieces of the G70 since last September, but the New York Auto Show is the official 2018 US debut, so I'm going to use the rest of this video on this gorgeous car. The G70 is set to compete with the 3 Series, A4, and C-Class. You have two engine options, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, and a twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 making 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. Both come standard with rear-wheel drive, but you can option all-wheel drive on both engines. Most importantly, you can option a manual transmission. If you're a car nerd and you've been following the news, you probably knew this already. However, the manual can only be fitted to the rear-wheel drive four-cylinder variant. For everything else, you get an eight-speed auto with paddles and launch control. You can also option a limited slip differential, Brembo brakes, and Pilot Sport 4 tires. And like most of the Genesis lineup, you have a Lexus support and a list of driver assist features. We should see the G70 later this summer for around 30 grand. It's exciting to see this big push for advanced tech in all cars across the board, and when everyone has these tech and driver assist features available to them, it'll be really interesting to see what trendsetters like Tesla and Mercedes-Benz decide to do next. There's a ton more to cover here at the show, so if you made it this far, you should probably hit subscribe and check out theverge.com for more coverage from the 2018 New York Auto Show.

Fitbit is still trying things around smartwatches. It's really kind of cute. What do you mean still trying things? The Fitbit Versa is only the second smartwatch that Fitbit has released and it's going out for the mass market with this one. This isn't for fitness freaks or smartwatch nerds. This is just for regular people who want a smart fitness watch. That product already exists and it's called Apple Watch, which is great if you have an iPhone, but if not this is the watch you need to look at. This is the new Fitbit Versa. It joins the Fitbit Ionic, which came out last year, and this is supposed to be a little more accessible. What does that even mean? Well for one, it's less expensive than the Ionic. The Ionic costs $270, whereas this costs $200. Incidentally, that's also less than that Apple Watch Series 1 you've got over there. That's true. An entry-level Apple Watch does start at around $250 or more. $250 or more. But that's because it's a well-made smartwatch. It's made with durable aluminum. It has this nice retina display and in my opinion it just has this universal design that appeals to lots of different people. So does this. That's because that looks like an Apple Watch. That's not true. I mean it's got these carved edges here and it has an LCD display. Yeah and you can see the bezels if you look really closely. It doesn't have a digital crown and it's just light and it lies flat. I mean compared to the Versa, the Apple Watch bulges on our wrists. This is just better. Sure it is. The biggest differences between these two smart watches are software and compatibility. Unlike Apple Watch, Fitbit works with iPhones, Android phones, even Windows Phone. Yep those three users are still out there. But Fitbit's operating system isn't really optimized for certain things. Not in the way that Apple's watch OS is. Like what? Like responding to messages. I mean on Apple Watch I can respond using an emoji or a shortcut response or I can scribble on it and since this has a microphone built-in I can even use my voice to respond. Yeah but that's not all entirely Fitbit's fault. It has a lot to do with the way iOS works or really the way Apple works. And Fitbit says that shortcut responses for Android users are coming to the Versa watch in the future so that's something. Yeah with or without quick responses on Android with that thing. I still just don't like the way that handles notifications. The text is really tiny so it's hard to see. Multimedia messages don't come through on the watch. Well did I mention that Fitbit redesigned its smartwatch interface so that it's even easier to see your health and fitness stats right on the watch? Also there are more than 550 apps and watch faces. I remember when the App Store had fewer than a thousand apps. But anyone who's considering any Fitbit is likely looking at it for health and fitness. I mean yes it's a smartwatch but Fitbit is first and foremost a digital health company and this tracks a lot of stuff. It doesn't have GPS. Neither does your watch. Only Apple Watch Series 2 or later have built-in GPS and those get pretty expensive. What Fitbit does track are your steps, your calories burned, your stairs climbed, your heart rate, your distance traveled based on accelerometer data. Apple Watch tracks all of that too. Like all of it. Sleep? Does Apple Watch track sleep? No. Yeah I mean that depends on if you trust the accuracy of consumer sleep trackers. And the Fitbit Versa also tracks very specific exercises like running or weightlifting or spinning or yoga and it gives you your cardio score which is basically your vo2 max. It has built-in coaching. Oh and it has an app called relax that reminds you to breathe. You know this is it's funny because Apple Watch tracks all of those same exercises and has an app called wait for it breathe. This is uncanny. Well I'm going on day four with this and I've only charged it once. What's your battery life like? Look I don't know how to break this to you but recent data showed that Apple is now the market leader in wearables not Fitbit. And regardless of how you feel about wearables in general there's good reason for that. Apple has figured out a way to add value for iOS users with this watch which is not an easy thing to do when you're talking about a tiny wrist computer that doesn't run apps very well. A lot of people find closing the rings really motivating for health and fitness and in general it's just a great little device for notifications. Right if you have an iPhone which is a big if. I mean a lot of people don't want to be locked into an ecosystem. We've talked about this before and yet they still want a decent smartwatch. One that tracks fitness. Okay Fitbit needs a win. I'm aware of that. The company's had its fair share of struggles but based on using this I think there's a chance that the Fitbit Versa could be the mass-market smartwatch that ends up appealing to a lot of people both because of its price point and its compatibility. What are you doing? Oh it's time to stands. Doesn't your watch do that too? We're gonna miss you Lauren. Wait we're leaving? Yep. Both of us? We're kind of a package deal but we need to we need to say thank you to everybody. Everybody thank you for watching. Lauren's out.

Hello, welcome to Circuit Breaker Live, the Virg's gadget show where we talk about gadgets, circuits, breaking those. How to break the circuits. Hi, I'm Nilay Patel. This is Ashley Carman. Hello. This is Paul Miller. Hello. We have a lot going on in the show today. As you know, there's an Apple event today in Chicago, which I think Ashley and I both claim is our hometown, even though we do not- I'm from Chicago. I just claim it. I went to school there. I visited Chicago. There you go. Apple had a big event in Chicago. Or as I like to call it, shut down. Paul was fired live on the air. Just weren't expecting that to happen today. Dieter Bohn was there, Dan Sieber was there, Lauren Good was there, our video director Becca was there. We're going to call Dieter. He's in Chicago with the new iPad. He's threatened to unbox it live on this show, so we'll see if that happens. So we're talking about the iPad for a while. Then we're going to play with some ridiculously expensive audio gear, which as you know is my favorite thing. Jay Castanaga is going to join us. We're going to talk about some new Moment lenses that came out today that we have for the iPhone. Maybe we can make a whole film. And then Chris Welch is going to tell us how to block spam calls from the iPhone. So lots going on. We should just begin. Let's see if we can get ahold of one Mr. Dieter Bohn live from Chicago. This is the moment of truth. Hey! Dieter! Hey! How's it going? Hey buddy, how are you? I'm awesome. This delay is great. I'm talking to you on an iPad Pro because my other attempts to get hotel Wi-Fi working in here were a fiasco. Hi! Perfect. So tell us about this event today. What happened? Oh, you don't want to see me actually do a real unboxing live on the air? I'll talk about the iPad. They teased it. Make them wait for it. Okay. So it was at Lane Tech Prep School, which is a very, very large, very, I don't know, Ivy League looking school in Chicago. And you know, standard Apple event, you roll in and you like wait in the waiting area and then you go into the auditorium. And the auditorium was crazy because we were packed in real tight. And Lauren, who was sitting next to me, was sitting next to two high school reporters who were there to like report for their school newspaper, which was amazing. And then there was a keynote, which was, I don't know, I mean, have you guys watched it yet? Or were you just sort of following along the live blog? We're just following along. We had this show. Yeah. It was pretty standard Apple Fair, except it was clear that their agenda at this keynote was not launching this new iPad. Like they have this new iPad. They wanted to talk about it. They want to tell us about it. It's like the biggest news that consumers will care about. But what they actually wanted to do is spend the entire time making the case that the iPad is better for education than Chromebooks without talking about Chromebooks unless they absolutely had to. And so they just kept on coming back over and over and over again. Like, here's a teacher and their kid made a video. Here's a teacher and a kid in their classroom made an audio report. Here's a teacher and that person made a video. Just nonstop, back to back, here are all the things that the iPad can do that a Chromebook definitely cannot do. And also, subtle reminder, you can actually set up multiple accounts on an iPad even though nobody knows how to do it and it can only happen in classrooms. But we promise it's easy. They didn't mention that you'd have to have like Jamf or some other MDM to do it. But they like they thought of all this stuff that you can do that has been around for a couple of years but nobody really knows about. And then we left and went to the hands-on area where they were showing like AR demos and Tim Cook walked around followed just mobbed by children who wanted to be next to Tim Cook and get selfies with him. That was amazing. Check out our Instagram story today. Lauren Good got him for like five seconds on our Instagram story. And then we rolled out. So like the whole thing was an hour long. The labs really like showed us how to set up the mobile device management enterprise software where it's like an hour. And you know, we played around with the devices and we left. Yeah. So let's see. Let's see this thing. You've got it. Okay. So I have turned it on. There's the box. It looks like an iPad but special for you. I did not take off the plastic yet. I just took it off. So you get the beautiful sound right there. It's really nice, right? And I want to compare it to the iPad Pro for you but I cannot because I'm using it to talk to you. But here it is and it looks like an iPad, don't it? Yeah, they didn't change the design of this thing at all from what I can tell, right? Not a single tiny bit. It's still like the single speaker on the bottom or you know speakers on the bottom. There's nothing on the top. It still has a headphone jack. There is no smart connector on the bottom, which is a real point of contention in my opinion. And but the main new stuff is it has a new processor and it also now supports the Apple Pencil. So yeah, yay. And then it also supports that new Logitech crayon, which is the new $50 version of the stylus that is really fascinating because I don't have one but it doesn't use Bluetooth. It uses some other mysterious wireless thing. So it's as accurate and it supports tilting but it doesn't support pressure. And you can use that with any of these new iPads, right? There's some question about whether the green will work with the iPad pros. I do not believe that it will but I don't know. The only iPads that logic have lists are this new sixth generation iPad. Yeah, and then I just got to tell you it's an iPad. Yeah. And the logic also put out a case for this thing, which you haven't seen it. Yes. Go look at it online. The logic case turns the iPad straight up into a surface like no doubt about it. It has a kickstand. The keyboard folds out. You can it adds a smart connector to it, right? It plugs in over lightning and then the case has a yeah, like its own proprietary and you can click off the keyboard. Oh, yeah. Do you get to play with that? I play with that a little bit. It is just I said you don't want to buy it because the thing is like I kid you not like this thick. It's just gigantic. It's super rugged. It has it like a lightning port instead of being in the middle is like down here and then the whole like the keyboard runs through the lightning connector and then the lightning pass through runs through the other thing. It's very it's a very confusing product, but great for schools, I guess, because like I challenge anybody just destroy an iPad when it's inside this thing. Yeah. Do you guys think the stylus announcement stylus for us more important than the actual iPad announcement? I wish I could say yes, except that this stylus is not available for consumers to purchase. It's only available to schools. And so I don't know what it's compatible with. Oh, the Apple pencil. I mean, I don't know. I guess like it's nice that this is now that all the iPads except for the iPad mini, which still mysteriously exists in Apple store, all support the pencil. But I mean, I don't know. It's just an iPad. And then, you know, I call it cheaper, but it's like cheaper relative to the other iPads. But it's still the same, essentially the same price is $329. Or you could use Paul's crazy hack to go get it for a little bit less and claim your own. The crazy hack is lying. It's not lying. I did not tell anybody to lie. I was assigned with how do you? Okay, I looked up how do you buy something with an education discount if you're like a homeschool parent or a qualifying student or faculty. And I found out that you just buy something on the Apple education store. And then sometimes they'll check and sometimes they won't. That's all I said. I just wrote it down. I'm homeschooling my child is what I've learned. Yeah. I mean, I feel like so here's my question for you, Dieter. Hardware. Yeah. So you've got an iPad Pro. Oh, this thing supports the pencil, which is the most obvious feature of the iPad Pro, even though there's other stuff. Yeah. Right. The iPad Pro actually has a 10.5 inch screen. It's got four speakers, got a fast processor. But the pencil is what most people think about. Would you use this? Yeah. So here's the funny thing about that. It feels silly to say I'd spend an extra $700 for this. But the thing that I use the most with my iPad Pro is not the pencil. It's the smart connector. It's the keyboard. Because I really, even though it's like a weird fidgety thing, Apple's smart keyboard case is really thin and really good and really accurate. And it doesn't have any of that fuddling with Bluetooth connections. And so I love it. And so to me, if they had put a smart connector on this thing, it'd be no contest. Don't even bother with the iPad Pro unless you understand how to make iPads do amazing things. But it doesn't. So it's a little bit harder call. I have to push this a little bit more to see how much better it performs than the last iPad for multitasking and stuff. The last iPad was fine for that. But it would occasionally slow down and stutter a little bit. Whereas the iPad Pro, I can basically do whatever I want whenever I want. And it's really fast. But yeah, there's nothing here that's wildly interesting. I think I can do AR better because of the processor. But I can't show it on the video. But the air gap on the screen is really prevalent and noticeable. It's the kind of thing that I notice now that I've been using an iPad Pro. But if you never use anything other than standard iPads, you won't notice the air gap. But it's definitely there. We had some questions in the chat. When I asked it. Oh, great. I'm going to go there. Well, that's the question. Can you see the air gap? I have a question. You can. Did Apple address at any time the fact that a lot of schoolwork involves writing and typing? Right. And Google Docs? There's a bigger lock on that keyboard. Right. But if you just think about the math of the iPad versus the Chromebook. Because you kept saying they kept coming after the Chromebook. A Chromebook for education costs 150 bucks. It has the form factor you want. This is like 300 bucks plus a pencil, plus a keyboard. Like you're suddenly just radically getting into like $500 territory instantly. Do they address any of that pricing? Because that was the stuff I saw on Twitter. This is great, but it adds up so fast. They address the pricing in a few different ways. One, not including a smart connector, I think came down to pricing. It would have cost more money to redo the thing to put a smart connector on it. Two, they just kept coming back to like, yeah, a Chromebook is cheaper, but you know what you can't do on a Chromebook? You can't make a clips video. You can't annotate a document directly. You can't have a classroom full of Chromebooks and then the teacher's up there with their iPad and the teacher can see in real time what every single student is doing on their iPad and then go creep on a student's screen on their iPad in real time and be like, Billy, I see what you're doing. Just put that on the Apple TV and then hit a button and have Billy's iPad automatically airplay to the Apple TV in the classroom. You can do some really bonkers stuff with the classroom software. I think the price thing, I don't think they fully addressed it enough. I don't think they addressed the management stuff enough, but a lot of what they wanted to accomplish today was reeducating people on what you can do with an iPad in the classroom. Their argument for the price thing is, you know what? Send a little bit more and then these kids can actually make stuff with an iPad that actually matches who they are in their generation and not just typing in documents. I have one question for you. It's really nerdy, but Devin is in the chat asking, the new iPad doesn't have ProMotion, and the iPad Pro has ProMotion, which is 120 hertz refresh rate. So he asks, will the new iPad's slow refresh rate ruin the experience of using a stylus, pencil, crayon? I haven't done a ton of writing with it, but I'm going to say this doesn't feel ruined to me. Here we go. Can you see that? Is there any lag there? Well, we're on Skype. There's no lag. I imagine if you were really, really a pixel peeper, as they say, you might notice it. Or if you're doing something really pro with a photo app and you really need it to stay up with you, it's possible. My hunch is that for the vast majority of people, it won't be a noticeable difference. But again, we'll have to test it for the next few days and see. Well, thank you so much for joining us. We're actually going to run Dan Seifert's hands-on from the event so you get a better look at the hardware. And we're going to come back and we're going to play with some very, very expensive audio equipment, which just makes me so happy. So check out this video. We'll be right back. Hey, this is Dan Seifert with The Verge. And we are here in a high school in Chicago. And what we're looking at is the new iPad from Apple. Now this is available to both consumers and students. It replaces the old 9.7 inch iPad. So this has a 9.7 inch screen. And there's a couple of new features with it. Internally, it's got the Apple A10X processor. And then it has support for the Apple Pencil, which I'll talk about in a minute. But otherwise, it is basically the same iPad that we've become familiar with over the past couple of years. Again, it's a 9.7 inch screen. It has Touch ID on the home button here. You've got speaker on the bottom. Of course, your lightning port, front facing camera, rear facing camera. Of course, this model is an LTE equipped one. So it's got the panel here. And of course, your Apple logo. Very straightforward. There's nothing really new in terms of the design here. It is very much an iPad. But it is a little bit faster than the one that was released last year, thanks to that new processor. And then of course, the big new thing, especially for consumers and educators alike, is the support for the Apple Pencil. This is the first time that the Apple Pencil has worked with an iPad outside of the Pro line. So you can use the Pencil, of course, to navigate things. But one of the things that they've been showing off here is new iWorks suite. And one of the new ones is Keynote here. You can create presentations and draw and animate them with the Pencil. So even if you are creating a presentation and you make a drawing on there, you can actually let's get to my drawing. This is, I apologize, it's really bad. But there's my plant growing up out of the soil there, which I drew with the Pencil just a couple of minutes ago. So of course, and then it of course works with all of the other Apple Pencil supported apps. So you can use it to take notes. You can use it to draw. You can use it with any other app that uses the Apple Pencil. The Pencil is not included in it, however. It does cost $99 extra, which hasn't changed. It's not a surprise. It looks like an iPad. It feels like an iPad. It acts like an iPad. It is very much, very much an iPad. It's nice to have the faster processor. It's going to be a little bit snappier than last year's model. Of course, the support for the Apple Pencil is great. I really would have liked to have seen the smart connector here. A lot of the demos that Apple showed off during its presentation were showing off things that you were creating for classes and things like that, and they require a lot of typing. Logitech is making a case for this, which is like a rugged keyboard case, which will sell separately. But it would have been great to have the smart connector because then you can use the smart keyboard, which is a lot slimmer and easier to use with the iPad. But otherwise, it's an iPad. That's really all there is to say about it. It's going to be available at the same price as the last year's model. It's $329 for consumers, $299 for educators, so you get a little bit of a discount. And it's going to be available this week. So I think it's fair to say it's an iPad. It's an iPad. It's very much an iPad. It's an iPad. There's like, like Dieter, when he was writing his hands on, just texted me and said, I've run out of things to say. It's an iPad. It's an iPad. Okay, we'll have more from the iPad. Both. There's tons on theverge.com. Obviously, Dan's videos on YouTube. Go check all that stuff out if you're interested in the iPad. Trust me, I've lost more to come. But I want to talk about something when we're done. So we on the show have speakers a lot. Mostly because of the speakers, but also because there's so much happening with smart speakers. We have the HomePod on the show, we've got Sonos on the show, we've got every variety of Alexa and Google Home device. What's really interesting to me is those are consumer brands. And they're like accessible, you buy them in Best Buy, they're marketed to like, regular people. But there's also all these crazy high end brands that know this is happening to them. Like they have to address it. They have to compete. They can't just keep making tube amps or whatever they do. And they're doing it too. So this company name, which is from the UK, they make really high end audio, they have a sparkling reputation for making things that sound good. They just up and sent us some of their gear. This is true. They just reached out and said, we're making streamers too. We want to send them to you. So we have two of them. Let's start with this Cube. So this is the name Muzo Cube. Oh, good. Cube is spelled the QB. Just take a guess. This is an all in one speaker. I have the, it's not fair. I can see. But don't look. Guess. That's the chat guessing. Guess how much this thing costs. Yeah, that's good. This is good. Have them guess. Let's see. This is also a good test of our stream latency. Yeah, our stream latency. What we're learning as a stream is very... In my experience, like high end audio gear, everything starts at around a thousand and it goes up to 20,000 or 80,000. But if they're trying to put streaming stuff in there. So that was a reasonable guess. Seven thousand. Okay, we got one guess at seven thousand. That's high. On that scale, this is reasonable. This is $1,350. Nice. And you can see, Paul, can I get Paul up here? You have the Spotify light lit up on top. It's a Spotify connect device. It has maybe the nicest volume knob ever on the top. The LED. Wait, that's not just touch. It's an actual physical. Physical, huge physical knob. It's got this huge heat sink on the back. It's got an ethernet port. In case you're that kind of person, it's got optical out. You can stick a flash drive in it. You can see the front here. So that uses this app, which is named App. I will tell you this app is not great. So they built their whole own app. Their whole own app. So here's Spotify. I'll tell you what's going on. We can just turn on the radio. You can see it switched to internet radio. Could change when we end. Oh, wow. Well, you wanted some good NPR. This one has been real finicky. Look at that. That's not great. It's still to continue to a classic FM. Let's see what this is. Oh, it's a little bit of a mess. It's a little bit of a mess. It's a little bit of a mess. It's a little bit of a mess. It's a little bit of a mess. It's a little bit of a mess. Let's see what this is. I don't know. It's just making nature sounds at us. So this is like a $1,300 all-in-one streaming device that competes with Sonos, that competes with all the other stuff. It does not have a microphone in it. So it won't do Alexa stuff or whatever. It sounds good. It sounds great. It's huge. It has a light on the front. Would you spend $1,300 on this? No. No lie. No. No. But I mean, people value high-end audio. Like Vlad, who listens to headphones all day long, would probably appreciate this. Yeah. So to me, this is just like one of those things where you... I mean, obviously, it has super high-end DACs. It can support something like 24-bit, 96-core heard music. And it works with all the streaming services? Yes. So it has title support. It has Spotify support. You can AirPlay to it. You can Chromecast to it. You can... It has Bluetooth aptX support. It has like 15 digital like other... That's nice, though. It sounds great. And it's got optical. Could you put like connect it to more speakers or is it really just... This one is for this. So this is $1,300 here. Okay. Now let's look at this other... It looks cool, too. Paul, we're gonna need Paul again for this. So this is the NIME Unity Atom. You get the app here. You can see the front. It's got a big LCD on the front. The LCD is hilariously not a touch screen. It sort of tells you what's going on. So I can get some music. Oh, of course. Remember the days. Of course. We lost it. All right. Well, I'll just try to... Wait. It's only... Oh, it's showing numbers. What does 63 mean? So we've got a USB key plugged into the back here. So now I can press the source button, which is incredible. Just like the good old days. I'm gonna hit play on Spotify. Let's see if it does something. I think this one might have lost its Wi-Fi connection while we had it under the table. This is what circuit breakers own that. See, that's what I want, but it's not a touch screen. But you can't use your... Oh, we have a giant remote. There's the remote. Hey! We'll see today. Does this work with both of them or just this one? Just this one. Bluetooth. Nothing like a Bluetooth pairing on a circuit breaker. Oh, look. They misspelled analog. They're British. They can't help it. You know, it's not seeing this USB, I think, is the problem. This USB key is startlingly hot. Anyway, while we're trying to make this work, what I'll say about this one, $3,000. It does not contain speakers. But it's an amplifier, right? It's an amplifier. So they sent us very expensive, multiple thousand dollar speakers. The speakers are not... They don't make them, so they didn't tell us. But they're also very expensive speakers. They were very nice on the phone. They said, we feel that these pair the best with this. Let me tell you, my ideal audio setup is in my house right now. I have an Echo Dot, and I have the Aux jack from the Echo Dot going to a nice, not amazing, but nice amplifier, which goes to a pair of monitors, kind of like this, but way cheaper. And that works. And that's like a total, probably like a four, maybe $300 setup. Yeah, I'm just wondering if we've gotten complacent with like audio quality at this point. Because I know when I got into records when I was younger, my dad like decked it out, bought nice speakers, amplifier, everything. And now I'm just like, oh, I'll just buy a Bluetooth speaker and play some music. Like, I don't worry about a whole setup, but maybe I'm missing out on an experience. I mean, there are... No, no, I don't want the cue. There's way, way, way better sound than like a capsule speaker. Like how big is your Bluetooth speaker? Oh, it's old and not big. And then even if you have like a big speaker, a lot of times you can tell, especially when you like listen to them side by side, like even if you... A lot of people will... Even if they have nice home theater equipment, they'll listen to music through it. And home theater equipment really isn't designed for music specifically. I don't know if this is a real music term or sound term, but I find it has like a slow response. So like snappier sound. Yeah. It's kind of like sluggish on that. So when you have a really nice dedicated music listening... Oh my God. All I get is talk radio. Now, Neelai is not into music. Clearly. This is the most expensive NPR listening to my small time. This is all I got. We'll see if this works. Let's see if Spotify works. Here we go. It's not going to work. This thing is fighting the Wi-Fi. Anyhow, my point... Does this auto tune to the room? That's a question. It does not auto tune to the room. You are meant to calibrate it yourself because people who buy expensive stuff want to calibrate their own things. Really what it is, is incredibly high end digital analog converter, incredibly high end amps, incredibly high end everything. And if you have your own digital sources, if you have a huge Flac collection... I do. Do you? I've got a couple albums on Flac. Yeah. And you want to reproduce that stuff in as high quality as possible, you buy this $3,000 thing. I read some audiophile reviews of it and people are in love with it. So they did a good job. I really like this. I think this is the only thing that I truly... What's funny is if you... Well, don't leave it on 75. Yeah, I'm a little scared here. When you turn the knob here, the lights are on and you want to go. That's cool. So there's all these little features. Now, I think I'm with Ashley. I think the history of consumer audio is that people take convenience and price, like inexpensiveness over audio quality every opportunity. For sure. So I wonder how many people are actually going to buy this. I wonder how many people actually have Flac collections. I think even streaming Spotify at extreme to this, like you're not sending a signal in that isn't good. I think you have to go to something like Tidal. Sorry, I hit you. But so let's say like HomePod, I don't want to be like all the Apple people and like I want the more expensive, better thing than a HomePod. Is this something that you might recommend to somebody or is it only audiophiles need a play? Yeah, the main thing that we got about the HomePod was of course you can use it with Spotify. You'll just use AirPlay. Screw Siri. All right. Well, if that is how you intend to live your life, then like this is actually a competitor. Right. It's like you can argue about the design, but it has a much different design. It's obviously a statement piece. It has Spotify Connect. So you're not doing that weird AirPlay round trip. And it sounds really good. And it has AirPlay. And just randomly you'll start playing NPR at you. Or jazz music. I did apply great NPR listening devices for you. I'm glad you came to Circle Breaker today. Well, my point is I think it's very interesting what's happening on the consumer side. I think it's really interesting to see how the traditional companies are attacking the same problem. Because at the end of the day, it's still just a bunch of streaming music over Wi-Fi. And like I don't. Can you think of who in your life would buy this thing? I actually do feel like I know one person. Yeah. But it's a unique case. I am the sort of person who loves this stuff. And I'm like, I'm doing streaming music. I might as well just keep it simple. And then I'll buy like vintage amps and things. All right. Paul. Yeah. You did it again. Yeah, I did another little show within a show thing. I realized that I had been. Well, first off, I'm scared that Neil is going to lose his job to robots. And so I want to keep the technical education. Or the robot is going to sit in a meeting and be like, why are we in this meeting? And then also, I realized that every time I like would go around the Virgil office, I was asking everybody for their knowledge. But I should be sharing some of my own knowledge. Yeah. So I did a thing about the command line. That's it. Do you use the command line? Sometimes. What do you use the command line for? Installing Android updates. This guy. Do you use the command line? No. Never? No. Do you ever use the command line? Like the Virg newsletter. No, not the Virg newsletter. It's part of your computer. The black screen. The black screen. Yes. I've seen it in hacker movies. Right. Do you use the command line? Are we talking about the... Not the newsletter. Gosh. No, no I don't. Do you use the command line? What is that? Do you use the command line? Yes, to root Android phones. Would you say you're scared of the command line? Yes. Hey, Jake. Hey, Paul. Hey, in a moment of candor... Oh, I see what you have here. You told me you were afraid of the command line. That's true. I've asked a lot of people at the office, if they're afraid, all of them said they're not afraid at all. Seriously? So I figured you were the one that needed this little lesson. Did everybody else like grow up to get a command line? Everybody's like, I love the command line. I'm having a panic attack already. Look, if you don't know what a command line is, don't even worry about it, right? But if you want to use the command line, and you find yourself on this like blank screen... Should I want to use the command line? If you're like doing programming stuff... I mean, it underpins so much of what all of our computers... As a nerd, I feel like I should have the ability to do some basic things in the command line. Right. I just always feel like I'm going to break something. You see, I think that's a common fear. You can break a lot. You can destroy everything. Everything. This is the most powerful part of the computer. Why do they give us access to this? Because some people want to actually use their computers instead of have their computer experience spoon-fed to them like babies. Wow. Squiggly means you're in your home directory. All right? So I'm going to PWD. This stands for Print Working Directory. This is a good thing right when you get into a prompt, like, where am I? Oh, so PWD tells you where you are. Print Working Directory. So if I want to go to root... Root's the thing you're supposed to be careful with, isn't it? Yeah, but you can look, right? So now this is the root of the whole computer. These are just like the URLs. Why would I navigate literally anything this way when I could just use a GUI? Because you're trying to get some work done. This looks more hackery, but I don't feel like you've done anything. It looks and feels more hackery, let me tell you. You told me that there were certain things you should never type. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to know what those are. Okay, so I've got this folder, right? I want to get rid of it. It says don't delete me, but I don't even care. RM is remove, right? Okay. And then I'll say... So that's like basically the verb, RM, is the command I'm going to run. And now what do I want to remove? I want to remove don't delete. Now I try that. It says cannot remove that. It's a directory. Oh, okay. So hyphen R deletes things recursively. So it says I want to delete that and everything that's in everything inside of it. Now it's gone, right? Now here's the great thing. If you do RM hyphen R, then F for force, then slash. Remember our root directory? Yes. If you run this, you delete everything on your computer. What does the command line do at that point? Do you have a command line anymore? It's supposed to warn you. Modern operating systems, enough people have been bamboozled. You want to find out? I kind of want to do it. Here we go. Wow. It is dangerous to operate recursively. No preserved root to override this failsafe. The other thing you should know... Always you got to add? You got to add, okay. The other thing is you need to have admin privileges. Now my current user that I'm working on is an admin, so I don't always need to do this. But if you heard of sudo... Yeah, that's in all the jokes. Yes. Sudo means I'm going to have the privileges of the root computer user, the most powerful computer user when I run this command. So something that a regular boring user might not be able to do, the root user can do everything. If I'm going to take away one thing from this, what should it be? Okay, watch out for sudo, watch out for sh, watch out for rm. Those are good to know. sh means you're going to run a script. Sudo means you're going to do something as a root user. Rm means you're going to remove something. Those are some red flags when you're copying and pasting from the Internet. As far as day-to-day use, I do a lot of ls and a lot of pwd. Oh, this one took me forever to learn. I want to get back a folder. cd.. Hey, Tony, this still seems more complicated than just using a folder. It's great, and you're missing out. Thanks, Tony. Thank you for this lesson and these warnings. I appreciate it, Paul. How did we get here, Paul? We just live streamed the damn command line. Learning is its own reward. I haven't wiped my computer a single time since that video. Yeah, just opened the camera. All right, well, Paul, we're just going to keep letting you do what you do. But look, it's dynamic doing it themselves. Oh, yeah, hey, remember us from the last time? I have to say our previous segment with the Unity atom might have been the most catastrophic circuit breaker fail. A lot of NPR. That was actually a really good demonstration of what it's like to get a die and audio. So I think everything is a little bit more broken. Yeah. But you know who is good at making computers? Google and Amazon and Apple. You know who is not high end British audio company. I've spent weekends wiring up like even just mid-range audio segments. You know, it's a blast. Yes. You just got to accept that you're in for for, you know, some frustration. And also, I will say, if you really want to get into it emotionally, just check out the forums. They are both supportive and very aggressive places. A lot of people. Anyway, Jake, we have you have new product audio equipment. Yeah. So I've been super interested in all the different lenses you can add onto your iPhone or other phones to improve photography or video stuff. And coincidentally enough, Moment, which is probably the company best known for these add on lenses, has some new announcements today. One thing particularly they have is really cool. They have their first anamorphic lens. And so you can see it is this right here. It looks square. And yeah, it gets you this big, super wide image on an iPhone. You get those beautiful lens streaks, the anamorphic lenses are known for. So you're not familiar with anamorphic lenses. This is what a lot of big blockbuster movies are shot with. And so you'll probably recognize this kind of look, even if you haven't heard the terminology. And this is just something that isn't really available at a consumer level because anamorphic lenses are really expensive. They're also kind of a pain to work with. So I'm going to go into the normal camera app to show you this. This is what it looks like normally. I'm sorry you can't see it with me live, but you look extremely squeezed right now. So I'll show you Paul. Like you see it's squeezed and so you need to go into another app that is able to de-squeeze the image. And now we have this extremely cinematic version of Neelai, these beautiful shadows. It really does look kind of good. Yeah, this nice streaking light. It looks really great. So they just announced this today. I don't necessarily know why you'd want to film something that cinematic with your phone, but I guess the idea is you've already invested $700 to $1000 in your phone. Why buy a DSLR? This lens is... I noticed lots of... Soderbergh's Unsane just came out, shot entirely on a phone. Yeah, this is a thing that's been happening. So we covered a few years ago the film Tangerine, which was shot entirely on an iPhone 5S. They actually use an older anamorphic lens adapter, not from Mono, from another company. And yeah, you said Unsane from Steven Soderbergh just came out. Admittedly, our film critic Tasha Robinson said it was not good to look at. But the takeaway is that serious big professional directors think these are valuable tools. I think they're easy to use in that you don't have to deal with a huge camera rig. And this is something that I think is particularly great for vloggers or people who are just starting out. And so we kind of also want to look at the other options that were out there. Maybe you don't necessarily want to spend a ton or how exactly you can get this out. So we have a whole line of Moment stuff here. Moment's lenses are about $80 to $90 each. And you also need one of Moment's cases to get started with them because they have this neat little lens mount that makes sure you position the lens properly on top of the camera lens. And they're cool. They just take your existing camera lens, put this other thing on top of it. You have these extra wide lenses. You have macro lenses, fisheyes. You're sort of limited on image quality by how good your original camera is. But you can definitely get these cool effects. So here is the fisheye. It looks fisheye-y. It sure does. And it's fun. What I wanted to know though was I don't necessarily want to spend $100 on like a giant lens. So we bought a bunch of cheapo stuff on Amazon. I got these three pack of lenses for $12. That was this. I might have lost one of those lenses. Yeah, three for $12? Yeah, so this is two lenses in one. If you screw this off, it's a macro. If you screw it on... There's no way that looks good. I got to tell you the macro 100% doesn't work. The fisheye does though. And you just clip this onto your phone, which is kind of cool. Yeah, so it's super casual. You can just whip it out. It's ridiculous. And it doesn't have to specifically be... Boom, fisheye lens. Whoa. Yeah. So the bad thing about the clip is like you can easily misposition this. Right. But also this was $12 and this is kind of fun. So if you're thinking about getting started with this stuff, you're not sure if you want to really invest hundreds of dollars, I would totally recommend buying just like a $12 thing. I also sort of dared our producer to buy this extremely goofy iPhone lens case that has six lenses on it. It's called the Switch 6. It's fantastic though. So... Fantastic in that it exists? Yeah, no, fantastic in that it exists. Most of the lenses are bad. Okay. They are unusable. But I love the look of it. So it's really neat because you have access to eight different lenses while using it. It's ridiculous. Right? So you've got the normal iPhone lens exposed and we have this beautiful little guide here that goes over. No, no, Jake. No, no, no, no. And using magnets, I'm going to show you this, using magnets clicks into place. One click, two click. Be careful with click three though. What do we got here? We got 2X, probably you on the podcast, we got 2X telephoto, 120-degree wide angle, a 20X macro, a 10X macro, a 2.X telephoto, and a fish eye. So here's what I know about the iPhone X though. This is a true... What I don't know is its passcode. Let's just guess. Not a very secure... Okay. So if you just open the camera app here and you switch it, so we'll put on one of these lenses, and you switch it, I'm putting my finger over the other lens, right? You can see I covered the 1X lens. Right. Like half the time, it worked that time. Oh, they're onto you. They did test it. This was a big issue for me when I was testing these because I did not realize that it behaved this way. Yeah, like half the time, it just digitally zooms. They're even faking you. Yeah. And like you can't actually tell. So you have to use another app, right? Yeah. So if you... Can you see that? I'm zooming. Yeah. Right. I've got my finger over the lens. But it like blinks to make it pretend like it's... Yeah. And then that time, it went to the real lens, and then sometimes it just doesn't. Yep. So like... Nine out of ten times, it does not actually switch to the telephoto lens. So if you're using something like this, you need to download a third-party app that is going to let you actually switch lenses. Yeah. Can I show you my favorite third-party app? Oh, yeah. So my favorite third-party app for the... It's the one I use all the time. It's called Hayride. And it has... Watch it. It should not live. It has two features that I love. One is it uses the Taptic Engine. So when you're... So you see that yellow dot? Yep. When you line it up, it clicks. Oh. So you feel it. And then when you do it like this, and you rotate it, it clicks again when it lines up, which is cool. And then it has this insane feature. All right, Paul, I'm going to take a picture of you. So I can see the depth map. I can turn it on. There's the depth map of the room. It's terrifying. Yeah, it's like... It's like a little nightmare. Yeah, so take a picture, Paul. Beep. And then I don't know what this is for or why this happens. I don't know what it's doing right now. I feel like you... Wait, I just... Push, Paul. Okay. So now I can push AR. Mm-hmm. And it's going to move around. Okay, I figured it out. Hopefully we have enough light to make this work. Hey, there we go. And then place this photo. And now, bizarrely, I can see Paul. Like, the depth map of Paul in AR. Go, go, Paul. Which is like, why do you want this? But it's like my favorite new camera trick. Let me hold this. Let me hold this. Okay, so we got side... Ooh. This is very confusing. I'm not entirely sure what it's for. I'm really, really into this. I always wanted a virtual statue of Paul. This is a great look for me. It's great. It's insane. Halide is five bucks. Mm-hmm. It's the app I use when I want to actually make sure it switches the lenses. Tons of manual control. I think it's like, if you invest in this stuff, it is very important to upgrade from the stock camera apps, right? Yeah. Because none of this stuff is... You're not... The stock camera app is just hopelessly confused. And you don't have a lot of options for setting exposure and stuff, whereas you can really lock things in if you're trying to make a film and need to control light and stuff. So I actually took a bunch of photos with these outside to show you how Moments lenses compare to the standard iPhone lens and compare to these cheapo lenses. I'm going to go over here and show you some of these because there's a really big difference between the cheap stuff and what the iPhone can do. So first, just to give you an example, this is what comes out of the iPhone's telephoto. And so when you add on a telephoto lens like Moment, what you get is much, much further. You can see a really big distinction here, where you go from this to like pretty, pretty tight on that building. So that's really nice. And there's actually a pretty bright image. It's not perfectly sharp, but it looks relatively good. And I got to say, it is far superior than what you would get out of this, whatever the Switch 6. I don't remember if I kept that in this slide show or not, but yeah, this is the Switch 6 or whatever it's called. This is completely out of focus. This is one of the lenses I just don't use. So next up, we have the fisheyes. So this is the fisheye from the Switch 6. I think it's totally fun and usable. So that case was $35. This is a really fun effect. You have this vignetting on the outside. Very 90s music video. Yeah, it's cool. And this is what you get from the clip on. Again, you have the vignette, but it's nice and bright. It's there. It works. But this is what you get from Moment's fisheye. You have the full image. It's not as strong of an effect. Yeah, not at all. But you do have that curving. So I think it's a much nicer photo. Yeah, it's a lot more usable in a lot of ways. So I think it's clear that Moment's lenses are superior. Again, whether you need to spend $100 on an iPhone lens is maybe another question. But they're definitely doing more. So here's another one. Paul, you told me you liked macro lenses. Yes, I love them. So I really love Moment's macro because it actually has a shade on it that helps you figure out exactly how far away to position the lens from the object you're trying to shoot. So right here, we have a close-up of a notch on a tree. And so I just put the lens right up against it, and you get this really cool thing. And I want you to notice there's this depth right here along this thing that's popping out because we're going to show you the next one. I want you to know how it would look if I just zoomed in on the iPhone. And this is what you get. It's super flat. There really is a big difference by going to a macro lens. And just in case you're curious, don't ever buy a cheap macro lens because it looks like this. This is all I could get in focus. So this is terrible. So yeah, that's the difference between the lenses. There really is a big distinction if you want to spend a lot. And one of the other things we're talking about is you can really kit out your phone and build a filmmaking or a vlogging rig if you wanted to using all of these accessories. So aside from the fact that you have these extra lenses, you can also get a mic like this. This is from Shure. You can buy it in Apple stores. This is recommended by our audio engineer, Andrew Marino. He said it's a stereo mic. It's really good for collecting just field recordings. It would be nice if you were recording somebody's guitar. You can also go into the app and dial in the recording patterns that you want. So you can use it for recording people's voices on interviews. This would be better if it was not attached to a bad case. This is not a new case. It works with this case. Unfortunately. Does it? It's a good question. This is a new case, right? Oh, yeah. I didn't talk about this. This is another New Moment product. This is also another New Moment product. This is their first battery case for the iPhone X, which is going to be helpful if you're going to be shooting all day. It is a little big, but it has a two-stage shutter button, which is cool. I really like the kind of speckled look on it. This whole look right here is out of control. Yeah. This is a lot. Oh, wait. We're not even started. So you're outside. You're in bright sunlight. You need to cut down some of that sunlight. How about an ND filter? Yes. Well, we're going to slap that on. All right. All right. We're not done yet. No. Please be done. Because we still have the Osmo Mobile 2, which I actually want you because it is broken. This thing is broken. We're running way out of time. It is broken. It is definitely broken. I broke it earlier. It's my fault, I assure you. This is wild. The fact that we're using this as the basis of a full camera rig is... You know, we were showing the Apple event today. When I go to those events, we still bring DSLRs. Everyone around us, iPhones, these kinds of microphones, moment lenses. It is amazing how many other professional journalists have completely moved over to this stuff. Absolutely wild. Yeah. What was it? Vlad went to that auto show, shot a bunch of beautiful cars with a pixel. All right. We're going to say goodbye to Jake. Bye, Jake. Thanks for having me. We're going to take your questions. Chris Walsh is going to join us, and we're going to talk about blocking some calls. We're in a live person swap right now. Yeah. So Mossy Edge says, don't get me wrong, this is cool, but at some point, people will still go up to get a decent camera. I truly believe this is true. I just bought a DSLR. I am shocked. A new Nikon, it's a D7500. I am shocked at how much better those photos are than my camera phone photos. But what I'll say is the thing is huge. Right. To get a good photo out of it takes a lot of work. You cannot just put that thing in auto and go for it. I also think it's like a different mode of being. I remember my little brother is a really good photographer, and it's just because he keeps on taking pictures. And people are like way more casual about taking pictures with phones. But when you have a digital SLR, you have to kind of be aggro. You have to be a person that's like, look, I like taking photos. I'm going to take a lot of photos. And it can't just be as casual as it is with the phone. But if you do, you can get really good photos. All right. And then someone says, Marcus says, somebody shot a movie on their iPhone. That is what we were just talking about. Stephen Soderberg just shot Unsane completely on iPhones. He was so hype about it. That was on the 7S, correct? I believe so. He was super hype about it. He had a lot of interviews, even us. We were saying this completely changed how we thought about filmmaking. I can get phones in place. I can never get away with a camera. Tasha watched the movie. The storytelling of the movie is one thing. But she kept pointing out this movie looks bad because you can't get the dynamic range. You have to light differently for phones. I think it's interesting to see where that goes. Okay. Chris Welch is here. Hello, Mr. Welch. How is it going, everybody? We do Ask Sugar Breaker. I believe we have a voicemail. Yes. I am here to tell you how to prevent spam calls and robocalls. This is one that I saved on my voicemail. We have just received a notification regarding your tax filings from the headquarters which will get expired in the next 24 working hours. And once it gets expired after that, you will be taken under custody by the local cops. Who falls for this? Cut this. Stop this. If people are falling for this on their phones, they might accidentally fall for it on our YouTube stream. But they do fall for it. And that's the whole point of this. They have such little overhead to make thousands and millions of calls. So the stats are there are between 2 and 3 billion robocalls and spam calls in the U.S. alone every single month. And that's gotten people so upset that they have complained to the FTC over 375,000 times every month. So this is a really bad crisis at this point. It seems only over these last couple of years to have just gotten out of control. There are some ways to kind of fight against it. None are perfect by any means, but they'll help you out quite a bit. You wrote a whole article that's on the website. Yeah. So we've got a how-to. This is already our most read how-to of all time. So everybody is very interested in how-to. It's called how to stop annoying robocalls. Yes. And they are rather annoying. So your first line of defense is if you buy a phone from Samsung or Google, they have built-in spam protections. So when somebody calls you, you'll see a message just like this. The whole screen turns a shade of red and it just kind of tells you, makes it very clear, don't pick up. And this is built into Samsung. This is built into the unlocked Samsung phones. If you buy one from a carrier, this feature is turned off. No. No. It's because the carriers want to upsell you on their blocking terms. Exactly. You've got to be kidding. That's horrifying. How is Samsung getting the list of numbers? They partner with a company called Hiya and they actually run one of the apps we're going to talk about in a bit. So that's where it comes from. And Google does the same thing with the Pixel as well. So you can use that on any network and the phone turns red, just tells you not to pick up, makes it pretty easy. And so the second line of defense is say you've got an iPhone, maybe you don't have too many spam calls coming in. You want to block them one by one. Just go into your settings. You just hit the little I button over here to the right of a phone number and hit block. But that's only good for one phone number at a time. And these numbers change every day. Can you run me through that again? Yeah. You just want to hit the little blue icon here. Go to any number and hit block this caller. And then those won't come through anymore. That's pretty ineffective when you're talking about numbers that change every day. Like I get five or six daily on the daily. And so it doesn't do you much good. So the carriers have their own ways of trying to help you out here. Let's see, where are we going to start out? AT&T has one called Call Protect. That's free. So these all work on the back end of the network. So when somebody calls you, it will just say this is spam or spam likely. Again, scam likely calls me five, ten times a day. Yeah. So that's AT&T Call Protect. That's free. Some of them charge you, like Sprint and Verizon charge you between $2 and $3 per month. So they upcharge you to prevent you from being annoyed. And so T-Mobile actually has the best one, I would say, because they have two products. One is called Spam ID and one is called Spam Block. Spam ID is turned on for everybody. So if you're on T-Mobile and you ever see spam likely pop up when somebody calls you, that's that feature working. Spam Block is something you can actually turn on by dialing star, a few numbers, and then that will actually stop some of the scamming numbers from ever getting you. Is this on by default? It's on by default. Yeah. Scam ID is on by default. Scam Block, you've got to turn on yourself because you might miss some calls that you would have wanted. How do you turn it on? For T-Mobile, you would just go to your phone. I have T-Mobile. Do you do this? I want to. Do it. I get so much Scam Likely. Let's get it going. Yeah, I just missed six minutes ago. Get under here, Paul. Okay, let's see. Let's see. So you just want to dial. Wait, Paul, put it here. This is a personal device. I've got to make sure. Okay. Okay, Scam Likely. Wait, what? Scam Block is what you want to turn on. Okay, I'm texting. Dial, dial. Oh, like a phone call. Yeah, phone dialer. Yeah. Who makes phone calls? Exactly. Okay, okay. We could do this. Yeah, so we've got pound 662 pound. 662 pound. Yeah. Call it. Yeah, hit dial and that should turn on the feature. Please wait. So now whenever T-Mobile senses that a scam caller is calling you, it'll stop those calls from coming through. Your request to enable scam blocking is being processed. Please wait a few minutes for scam blocking to begin. And then I could disable that again. Yeah. I'm remembering that sequence of things. Talk about a command line, buddy. No, I'll just go to the verge.com and read it again. Yeah. So the carriers have all their products they want to sell you on. And then there are third parties. So the FCC and FTC have realized they need some help in trying to like combat this issue. So they've brought in app developers and we have two examples here. One is this company called Nomoromo. They actually won a contest done by the FTC for trying to help out against robocallers. And so you install this app and you put in your phone number. And once it's installed, these apps are a wall between you and the scammer. So they've got these huge blacklists of numbers that they'll block from ever reaching you in the first place. But if calls do come through, you'll see a message like this, like we'll just set up a test robocall. And you can be just using your phone on YouTube or something else. And then when the number comes up, you'll see it's a scam. And so you won't answer. Does that work on the iPhone or do you use like Android level? So the iPhone more recently actually did make this possible. So this is another app called Robo Killer. And so for the iPhone, you actually go into your phone settings once you have it installed. And you actually have to turn on access to these apps because they are serving as your caller ID. So they're getting right in the way between you and scammers. But once you toggle that on, you just flip a switch. And that's the same kind of thing as the scam block. They'll just stop calls from getting through. So these apps, they cost between $3 and $4 a month. Yeah, these are monthly fees. I'm installing Robo Caller right now. Robo Killer. Robo Killer is how you call robots. There's a free trial. You can see how well it works. None of them work perfectly because more and more of these scammers, they spoof numbers from your local area code. So it looks like just like your number is calling you. They're trying to trick you, make it think you've got a family member calling or some other kind of really, really evil way of getting to you. So, yeah. So then there are the old ways if you want to try and stop spammers and anybody else, you should join the FTC's Do Not Call registry. That's somewhat effective. I mean, these companies who call you up with a robot voice, they don't really care about the Do Not Call list. So it's not for them. Obviously, we're in a moment of privacy right now. The thing about these apps is they will know all of your inbound numbers. So it's like, you know, your carrier already knows it. You might as well have them step in the way. Exactly. The third party app. Now a man named Robo Killer knows. So they ask for your contacts. You can say no. They say they only want your contacts. So those numbers on the wait list and those won't be blocked compared to everybody else. But yeah, join the Do Not Call registry. Was this supposed to be wiped out? Isn't this supposed to be illegal? Like, why are we in a place where there was all this fuss about this stuff, Robo Calls being illegal and Do Not Call and all this stuff, and it's getting worse to the point where I'm installing ridiculous apps and carriers are charging you monthly fees? Like, what happened? Like, why is it getting worse? They're just so hard to catch and it's so easy for these people to do. I mean, there's no overhead to call thousands and millions of people. And once one person falls for a scam and hands over money, then that was all worth it. So the FCC and FCC are trying to stop it, but most of these people are overseas, so they can't really do much to actually shut them down. The FCC wants to fine people $200 million, which seems appropriate. All right, let's end on that dark note. Is there any hope on the horizon? We'll see. Whatever. Protect yourself. That's what I'm saying to you. We're way over time. We've got to wrap it up for this week. Circle Break Live is Tuesdays at 4 o'clock. We'll be back next week. Thank you for Dieter for calling us from Chicago with the iPad. Thanks to Ashley, to Jake, Mr. Welch here, Paul. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you to all of you for watching, talking to us in the chat. We love it so much. We'll see you again next week. Circle Break Live Tuesdays at 4 o'clock Eastern. Bye.

number is calling you." }, { "start": 3334.16, "end": 3341.16, "text": " They're trying to trick you, make it think you've got a family member calling or some other kind of really, really evil way of

Good morning! Thank you so much for joining us. We are deeply inspired by the courage of these students who are using their voices to bring about change in America. Today we're going to take those experiences even further. And to start it off, we're going to talk about iPad, and to do that, I'd like to invite Greg Jawswick up to the stage. The new 9.7 inch iPad takes everything people love about our most popular iPad and make it even better for inspiring creativity and learning. This iPad is designed to be the ultimate tool for education with its beautiful large retina display, advanced front and rear cameras for photos, videos, FaceTime video calls, an amazing array of sensors including gyroscope and accelerometer. You authenticate with just a touch of your finger and touch ID, faster LTE capabilities so you can go anywhere and stay connected. And of course it has great all day 10 hour battery life and it weighs just one pound. But we're also upgrading the chip in this new iPad to the super fast A10 Fusion. With the A10 Fusion, this iPad is now more powerful than most PC, laptops and virtually every Chromebook. Apple Pencil and iPad Pro has become the creative tool of choice by the world's most demanding pro artists, illustrators and designers. Well we wanted to bring that amazing experience to even more people. So now our most affordable iPad has support for our most creative tool, Apple Pencil. There's an incredible universe of apps designed for Apple Pencil and three of the most popular apps in education are our own iWork suite of apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Today we're introducing all new versions of these three apps that support Apple Pencil. This report on Vikings history feels completely different once they added their own drawings of Vikings and their ships. Now in addition to supporting drawing with Apple Pencil, we also wanted to give you a sneak peek of something really cool in the new version of Pages. We're still working on this beta feature but we think it's already pretty awesome and it's called Smart Annotation. Today students are turning in their papers electronically. But if you want to mark up a student's paper, you either have to print it out or you have to make a PDF copy and mark it up with special apps. And you have to do this for every student. But with Pages and Smart Annotation, that all goes away. Now you can simply write or add marks right on the Pages document itself. With Smart Annotation, your marks stay anchored to the words they were added to. Notice the mark I made around the word he and how it moves as I edit the document, just like you would expect it to. This level of integration has never been done before. Now let's talk about something else that's making a big impact in a classroom and that's digital books. So today we're bringing digital book creation to the iPad and we're building it right into Pages which works great on the iPad and it works great on the Mac too. It's got everything you need to make a totally engaging digital book. To make it easy to get started, we've included a full set of templates for everything from reports to stories to lessons. You can easily add your own interactive image galleries filled with photos and captions that you can swipe through with your finger. You can easily add videos complete with sound. You could even use the built-in camera of the iPad to record videos right onto the page. And with Apple Pencil you can personalize your book even more with your own illustrations. This is a game-changing version of iWork and all three apps come loaded onto ivory iPad for free. Now let's talk about something really cool, augmented reality. The first app I'd like to show you is Boulevard AR which brings art history to life. Imagine you're in a history class and you want to view a prize piece of art. You basically have two choices, you can either look at a book or you go to a museum and that museum may be nowhere near you. Well imagine instead if you could instantly view that piece of art hanging on the walls of your classroom. Well Boulevard is working on an app which allows students to do just that. The next app is Free Rivers app from the World Wildlife Fund that uses AR to allow students to interact with the environment in ways they never could before. You can place a beautifully detailed landscape right on the table in front of you and you can explore and interact with it. Students can fly in through the clouds, easily move around the free flowing river valley. Students can see what it's like if they decide to build a hydropower dam in a bad location and the impact of their decision on the environment. The last app I'm going to show you is one of my favorites. It's called Frogipedia by Design Mate and it allows you to experience biology in a way you never could before. With the magic of AR students can place a virtual frog right on their desk and they can explore the inner workings of that frog in a way they never could with a real frog. Students can dissect a virtual frog with their Apple pencil. They can even take a built in quiz to identify the individual organs. And since we've made both the hardware and the software nothing comes even close to offering the powerfully simple or magical experience that iPad can. And even with all these enhancements we're pleased that we're able to offer this new iPad for the same $329 starting price for consumers and we're super pleased to offer this for schools for just $299. It's available to order today and we'll start shipping to our customers and arriving in stores this week. Now some schools provide an iPad for every student but some schools like to share a pool of iPads among many students. To make that easier we created Shared iPad. Shared iPad lets a student pick up any iPad off the school cart, tap on their name and once they log in that iPad becomes their own with their own apps, their own books and their own documents ready to go. And when it comes to getting set up we created Apple School Manager to give the tech teams a one stop shop to easily set up devices, download apps and create Apple IDs for everyone in the school. With Apple School Manager Apple IDs can be created individually or in bulk by your school's tech team and it's fast. You can create enough Apple IDs for an entire school of 1500 in less than one minute. We're excited to announce that starting today we're increasing the storage that we include for every managed Apple ID in education from 5GB to 200GB. There's some great new iPad accessories designed with schools in mind and I'd like to highlight a couple of them. The first is an updated rugged case and keyboard combo from Logitech designed specifically for kids in school. And Logitech is also offering Crayon, a new low cost option for education that works great with iWork and other pencil enabled apps. This new 9.7 inch iPad puts a ton of power and creative capability into a durable and mobile design that weighs just one pound. Teachers are the heart of the classroom and we know it takes dedicated passionate teachers to fuel students' curiosity. Today we're going to share with you some tools we've created to help. And it starts with the classroom app. Teachers love it because it guides, lets them guide their students, that's guiding, guiding their students and keep them focused and on task even when the kids aren't all doing the same thing. Teachers can see what their students are doing on iPad but they can click in on a specific student, make sure everything's okay and give additional guidance if they need it. So today I'm happy to announce we're bringing Classroom to the Mac. Students can use a Mac to guide their students working on iPad. Classroom for Mac will be available as beta in June. I am very excited to introduce a brand new app called SchoolWork. SchoolWork is a free cloud based app that makes it easy for you to assign handouts, to tap into the power of apps that make the iPad amazing and to get visibility into each student's progress. So let's take a look. When you open SchoolWork you can see all your classes as well as any upcoming assignments. It's easy to create handouts for your class with PDFs or web links or documents. You might want to send your class a simple field trip reminder or a group project assignment or maybe today's math homework. It's literally as easy as sending an email. Now it's really important to us that you understand this data stays private. While teachers see each student's progress information, we don't and neither can anybody else. ClassKit is a brand new API that we're introducing today to do just that. These are some apps that had early access to the ClassKit API and have already begun to integrate their apps and the activities within those apps to easily work as assignments within SchoolWork and many more apps are on the way. So that's a look at SchoolWork, a new app we're very excited to announce today. It'll be available in June. Today I am so excited to announce we're building a brand new curriculum to inspire a new kind of learning experience. And we're calling it Everyone Can Create. Now like everyone can code, teachers have free teaching and learning resources. But with Everyone Can Create, we focus on developing skills in four creative disciplines, music, video, photography and drawing. We know creativity isn't just about art and music. It's so much more. The real magic comes when you apply those skills in the classroom to subjects you're already teaching. For example, in photography, skills like composition and lighting can show mathematical patterns that exist in nature. Such amazing work and so much kids can do in the classroom and there are student guides full of real world examples and projects to help students build their skills. And of course, there's a robust set of teaching materials that include lesson ideas and class activities for any grade level. Everyone Can Create, you can preview today with more content coming this summer so you can be ready this fall in the classroom. I'd like to thank every teacher out there around the world for the important work that you do every day. You are teaching the next generation of creators and leaders. And myself and everyone at Apple are deeply inspired by what you do every day. Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, this is Dan Seifert with The Verge, and we are here in a high school in Chicago, and what we're looking at is the new iPad from Apple. Now, this is available to both consumers and students. It replaces the old 9.7-inch iPad, so this has a 9.7-inch screen, and there's a couple of new features with it. Internally, it's got the Apple A10X processor, and then it has support for the Apple Pencil, which I'll talk about in a minute. But otherwise, it is basically the same iPad that we've become familiar with over the past couple of years. Again, it's a 9.7-inch screen. It has Touch ID on the home button here. You've got the speaker on the bottom. Of course, your lightning port, front-facing camera, rear-facing camera. Of course, this model is an LTE-equipped one, so it's got the panel here, and of course your Apple logo. Very straightforward. There's nothing really new in terms of the design here. It is very much an iPad, but it is a little bit faster than the one that was released last year thanks to that new processor. And then of course, the big new thing, especially for consumers and educators alike, is the support for the Apple Pencil. This is the first time that the Apple Pencil has worked with an iPad outside of the Pro line. So you can use the Pencil, of course, to navigate things, but one of the things that they've been showing off here is a new iWorks suite, and one of the new ones is Keynote here. You can create presentations and draw and animate them with the Pencil. So even if you are creating a presentation and you make a drawing on there, you can actually – let's get to my drawing. I apologize, it's really bad, but there's my plant growing up out of the soil there, which I drew with the Pencil just a couple of minutes ago. So of course, and then it of course works with all of the other Apple Pencil-supported apps, so you can use it to take notes, you can use it to draw, you can use it with any other app that uses the Apple Pencil. The Pencil is not included in it, however. It does cost $99 extra, which hasn't changed. It's not a surprise. It looks like an iPad, it feels like an iPad, it acts like an iPad. It is very much, very much an iPad. It's nice to have the faster processor. It's going to be a little bit snappier than last year's model. Of course, the support for the Apple Pencil is great. I really would have liked to have seen the smart connector here. A lot of the demos that Apple showed off during its presentation were showing off things that you were creating for classes and things like that, and they require a lot of typing. Now Logitech is making a case for this, which is like a rugged keyboard case, which will sell separately, but it would have been great to have the smart connector because then you can use the smart keyboard, which is a lot slimmer and easier to use with the iPad. But otherwise, it's an iPad. That's really all there is to say about it. It's going to be available at the same price as the last year's model. It's $329 for consumers, $299 for educators, so you get a little bit of a discount, and it's going to be available this week. For more on the new iPad and all the other stuff that Apple announced today at its event here in Chicago, be sure to check out theverge.com and subscribe to youtube.com slash theverge.

I'm Dan Seifer with The Verge and this is the new Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S which doesn't look a whole lot different from last September's Mi Mix 2. Now it shares many of the same features and overall design but there's three new things to talk about here. It's got a new processor, it's got wireless charging, and it has an all new camera system. It's got a 5.99 inch 18 by 9 LCD panel with full HD plus resolution. It's got Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. You can get it in up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It runs Xiaomi's MIUI software. It's up to version 9.0 and this one is based on Android 8. And it is available in China starting next week and then it will be in Xiaomi's other global markets following later on in the year. The Mi Mix 2S has wireless charging through its ceramic back which is new and nice to have. It also has wired quick charge 3.0 charging through the USB-C port. Now there isn't a headphone jack here but there wasn't a headphone jack on the last model either so that's not really much of a surprise. The biggest change this year is definitely the camera system. It's a new dual camera system unlike the single camera on last year's phone. It's two 12 megapixel sensors, there's a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens like you might find on the iPhone X or the Samsung Galaxy S9+. The wide angle lens has an all new sensor with larger pixels on it and dual pixel autofocus so better faster focusing and hopefully better performance in low light. While the telephoto lens is pretty standard comparable to other telephoto lens cameras. Of course there is a portrait mode here that Xiaomi says uses new AI features to separate the front from the background or your subject from the background as well as to optimize the colors for the scene. We'll have to see how well that works in practice. The Xiaomi's won a lot of awards for the Mi Mix 2's design so it's not really a surprise to see them use the same basic design for the Mi Mix 2S. You get that really big screen and almost no bezels all the way around it. It's an LCD panel, it's not AMOLED like you might find on other phones but it still is pretty bright and vibrant and really looks pretty nice to my eyes. The weird part of course is that the front facing camera is on the lower right corner of the frame which makes it kind of odd when you're taking selfies. You're basically supposed to flip it over upside down so that you can take a normal selfie. Other than that it's a pretty great looking phone. Of course the new camera is familiar looking but it's kind of nice to see that Xiaomi's actually added the dual cameras to the Mi Mix line. And of course because it's a Xiaomi and it's a flagship Xiaomi phone it has the latest and greatest processors and internal specs that you can get. In terms of battery life, the battery is the same. It's a 3400 milliamp hour battery but Xiaomi says that because it's using the new Snapdragon 845 processor they're getting better performance without any hit to battery life so you should expect about the same battery life as the Mi Mix 2. This is definitely one of the nicest phones from Xiaomi that I've ever used and it'd be really great to see them expand this to other parts of the world that they haven't been selling yet but there's still really no story on when we're going to find that out. The Mi Mix 2S is available in two colors. You can get it in black or this pretty sharp looking white model that I have here and pricing is going to convert to roughly $500 US depending on how much RAM and storage you get in there. It's going to be available in China starting next week and then Xiaomi's going to roll it out to its other global markets in the coming weeks after that but unfortunately it's probably never going to come to the US. For more on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S be sure to check out theverge.com and sure to subscribe at youtube.com slash theverge. For more on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S be sure to check out theverge.com and sure... Huh, let's do that without cracking my voice.

Remember the first time someone told you to blow into your cartridge to fix a buggy game? Does blowing on your cartridge actually make anything better? It's the sort of thing that sounds like it makes sense. Mario isn't working? There must be some dust in the way. To find out whether or not blowing into a cartridge would actually help things or make them worse, I talked to Christopher Grant, the editor-in-chief of Polygon and an expert in retro gaming hardware. When your NES didn't read the cartridge when you put it in and it blinks the red blinking light, if you blew on it and you put it back in and you got it, you blew it just right, get that one piece of dust off, it would work. People did this over and over again thinking that this was the solution, that dust was the problem. But in fact, all they were doing was reinserting the game over and over again. And that the sort of placebo effect made it feel like the blowing was doing something when in fact it was just the reseeding of the cartridge that did it. Okay, so blowing into the cartridge doesn't fix anything, but it's okay if I still do it anyway because I'm used to doing it, right? You should not blow into the cartridge at all. So blowing into cartridges not only doesn't help anything, but adding moisture from your breath into the mix can actually make things worse, corroding the copper connectors and damaging your games and your console in the long run. Nintendo actually started warning against this behavior with later consoles. The Super Nintendo included a note on the back of each game saying that cartridges should be regularly cleaned, but only with a proper cleaning kit. And the Nintendo 64 went one step further, outright stating on the back of each game in large block letters, do not blow on the edge connector. The myth dates back to the original NES, which used a zero insertion force, or ZIF. And while ZIF slots are great for making it easy to swap in and out of game, because like the name suggests, it doesn't require much force to slot it in, it also means that if the contacts on the cartridge aren't properly connecting, you're going to get stuck with a glitched out screen instead. But there is still a grain of truth to the whole thing, because while the actual blowing on cartridges didn't do anything, simply taking the game out and reinserting it as part of that process gave you another chance to have the contacts properly connect, letting your game work right, which may be the origin of why people assumed that the blowing was working in the first place. So yeah, don't blow into your cartridges, but if you've got a retro console that isn't working, there are solutions out there that might actually help you get your games up and running again that don't involve you spitting on them. That was good, that was good. Okay, one more. Don't blow in.

You might have seen a recent commercial where a kid is using an iPad and at the end of the ad she asks, What's a computer? It sparked a lot of conversation in our corner of the internet. Because it's a good question. And personally I think some people attach the word computer to certain form factors. And I think that if you look at computers philosophically, there's something that just lets you do the thing you need to do. And that certain form factors, frankly, are a lot better for that. Is that fabric on your laptop? This is an iPad Pro. And this is a Surface laptop. You're probably thinking that this is some type of Apple vs. Microsoft episode of Versus because of these products. But we're not really talking about... Arguing over. We're not really talking about specific brands. We're talking about the differences between using a tablet vs. a laptop. Right. A lot of people are probably wondering if they can get away with just using a tablet as their main computer. Especially as the chipsets and tablets get to be comparable to desktop computing power. In my opinion, it's likely not. Tablets not going to do it. And my take is that this thing is so easy to use. And as you mentioned, so powerful. That for a lot of people, all they really need is a tablet like this. You really like Apple stuff, don't you? One of the reasons I really like using a tablet as my main computer is just because of how thin and light it is. I mean, I take this with me everywhere. I throw it in my bag. I take it to work. I take it out to dinner. I take it into bed with me at night. It's not like carrying a clamshell around. You realize that a 12.9 inch iPad is still really big, right? There's a 10 inch one too. Oh, okay. One of my favorite parts about an actual laptop are... The tactile keys. In my opinion, a keyboard is an amazing invention that is not broken and not in need of fixing. And I know people do it, but I personally don't understand how anyone can do all of their work or personal documents typing on a touchscreen keyboard. Oh, I don't use the touchscreen keyboard all that often. That's why I have this, which is the Smart Keyboard. It magnetically attaches and it doesn't ever need to be charged. I mean, it's pretty great. And it costs $169, so add that to the $1000 tablet you've got there and you're in premium computer land. I never said this wasn't a premium product. I just said I like the convenience of a tablet. Also, how well does that thing balance on your lap when you're using the Smart Keyboard? That's what I thought. With a clamshell like this, it's actually comfortable and well balanced on your lap. Hence, laptop. Even though I don't use the touchscreen keyboard all that often, I just love having a touchscreen in general. This has a touchscreen too. Yeah, but not all laptops do. Like, okay, I'm not going to say the brand name because we're not making this about the brands, but, you know... Oh my gosh, were you about to say something critical about... Also, this works with a stylus, otherwise known as pencil. This supports a stylus pen too. Again, not all laptops do. In fact, not many work with a stylus. Right, but just as your tablet has evolved to be as powerful as a regular computer, laptops have evolved to offer the best of all worlds. If you buy a new or a high-end Windows PC or even a less expensive Chromebook, you're likely to get things like a touchscreen, and yet you still have this nice familiar form factor. Also, when I rotate my tablet or just happen to pick it up the wrong way, the screen rotates with it. Does your laptop do that? Why in the world would I want to rotate my laptop? And I think a tablet like this gets better battery life than most laptops, generally speaking. You might have a point there. But honestly, we've argued enough about the form factor and hardware differences between laptops and tablets. What it really comes down to, in my opinion, is the software. Yeah, it does. There's a reason why we don't get many tech support calls from friends and family being all like, I don't know how to set up an iPad, right? And that's why kids are able to pick up a tablet and immediately get addicted to it. Is that a good thing? This is just known for its intuitive UI. And also, it runs on a mobile operating system, which means that a lot of the apps that you already know from your smartphone, you can run on here too. Okay, so maybe laptops sometimes require a little more tech support. But that's not really what I'm talking about here. I mean, have you ever tried writing a 3,000-word document on your tablet or working in an Excel spreadsheet or editing a really serious video project or just manipulating folders in Windows? I mean, there's a reason why people are so attached to their laptops, and that's due in large part to the OS and software. I still think mobile software is better. Why? Because for a smartphone first generation, this stuff just makes sense. Why does it have to do with smartphones, though? We're talking about tablets and laptops. How many times are you going to say the words form factors? Form factors, form factors, form factors. Listen, 17 more times we're going to say form factors because we're nerds, and that's how we talk. Form factors, form factors. Those two just going at it again. It's as if there isn't something in between. This is an iPad. Pro. Pro. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I knew that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

By now you've probably heard that Facebook is scrambling to contain the fallout over a data privacy scandal. Mark Zuckerberg finally addressed the story on Wednesday, but only after a delete Facebook campaign had started to gain momentum around the world. So this was a major breach of trust, and I'm really sorry that this happened. We have a basic responsibility to protect people's data, and if we can't do that then we don't deserve to have the opportunity to serve people. So how did we get here, and how does Facebook recover? Well, first of all, let's figure out what happened. So on March 16th, the New York Times and The Guardian reported that a data mining firm named Cambridge Analytica, which had worked on Donald Trump's presidential campaign, had improperly obtained access to more than 50 million user profiles. Experts believe the firm could have used that data to gain an unfair advantage in targeting voters. Mark Zuckerberg didn't say anything about these stories for five days, and then on Wednesday he wrote a Facebook post and gave an interview to CNN. I'm going to challenge you. Well, we're here now. I'm going to challenge you. Have you done it? And we're going to make sure that we do a good job at it. Have you done a good enough job yet? Well, I think we will see. This scandal is extremely weird, because we've known the basic details that Cambridge Analytica got access to these profiles for more than two years. It's not clear that the data they obtained was really all that useful to them, and the number of profiles that they supposedly obtained, 50 million, that might turn out to just be marketing hype from Cambridge Analytica. Despite all that, this is the biggest public relations crisis Facebook has faced since the aftermath of the 2016 election. Senators are calling on Zuckerberg to testify, the Federal Trade Commission is investigating, British authorities are investigating, and Facebook's stock price has been declining. So let's look what happened. The story starts in 2014. That's when a University of Cambridge researcher named Alexander Kogan created an app called This Is Your Digital Life. About 270,000 people downloaded it, gave away their information, and Kogan, unbeknownst to them, passed along that information to a data mining and political strategy firm named Cambridge Analytica. At the time, Facebook's Platform API let developers like Kogan access information about your friends as well as yourself. Christopher Wiley, who used to work at Cambridge Analytica, told the Times and The Guardian that that was how his company was able to get access to information of as many as 50 million people. And the idea was that by gleaning your Facebook likes, the company could begin to understand your personality and then more effectively target political advertising at you. This kind of thing is known as psychographic profiling. Experts say it can be useful at the margins in persuading voters, but at the same time they say its effect can be easily overstated. Granted, Trump's campaign wasn't the first to gain information about potential supporters using Facebook. In fact, in 2012, President Obama's election team had created an app and done a very similar thing. But there was a big difference. President Obama's team told voters what it was doing. Cambridge Analytica obtained this information in total violation of Facebook's rules and didn't tell anybody who was taking Kogan's personality quiz that their data would eventually be used for political advertising targeting. The Guardian revealed the scheme in 2015. Facebook went to Kogan and Cambridge Analytica and demanded that they delete all of the data that they had obtained in violation of Facebook's rules. But the reports say that in reality, Cambridge Analytica and Kogan never deleted the data and Facebook never investigated to see whether they had deleted the data as promised. This gets to the heart of why some people are deleting their Facebook accounts right now. Facebook made it too easy for developers like Kogan to get access to their data, to their friends' data, and to share it. And it never informed people that their data had been improperly used. The scandal also came at a time when trust in Facebook has never been lower. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, we saw how obviously fake stories could spread faster and more persuasively than many true ones. And we learned that Kremlin-linked groups had waged a highly effective misinformation campaign on the platform, in some cases even illegally buying ads. Meanwhile, new research was coming out showing that just browsing the news feed could make you feel worse about yourself, and a group of former Facebook executives came forward and expressed regret about their part in building the social network to begin with. In short, public perception of Facebook had become a tinderbox. Not that tinder. But the Cambridge Analytica story was the spark that turned it into a bonfire. After a long delay, Zuckerberg announced plans to address abuses like Cambridge Analytica's. In 2014, Facebook had already stopped developers from gaining access to information about your friends. Now it's going a step further. If you go three months without using an app, Facebook is going to cut off developer access to any information about you. And for developers that did have access to all that information, including information about your friends way back in 2014, Facebook is going to demand that they submit to an audit or be kicked off the platform. So will this fix the problem? On one hand, it's a start. Restricting developer access to your data could help Facebook start to rebuild some trust. But the larger issue for Zuckerberg is that he's really confronting three crises at once. There's the data privacy issue that the Cambridge Analytica story reveals. There's the newsfeed integrity issue and whether we can trust what we see on Facebook. And there's the broader cultural reckoning over social media, how we spend our time there, and whether it's ultimately good for us and the world. In January, Zuckerberg said that fixing Facebook's platform would be his personal challenge for the year. And yet, as he wades into this latest crisis five days after it began, it's not clear Facebook is doing everything it can to address it. And as a delete Facebook campaign starts gaining steam around the world, the challenge of fixing Facebook's platform feels greater than ever.

Hello, welcome to Circle Breaker, the Virgins Gadget Show. It's a show about gadgets on YouTube, which is where you are. I'm Neelai. That's Paul. Hello. This is Ashley. Hey. My name is Ashley in second. We're here in the chat with you if you're watching this live. Love your questions, comments, concerns. We basically react to this the whole time, so that's cool. We have a huge show for you today. Our friend Sam Sheffers here is back. We're going to make him talk about not new technology, but kick-ass old technology. We're going to talk about some sidekicks with him. We have some great questions for Ask Circle Breaker. And then Dan Sheffert is going to join us and we're going to talk about Android Wear. Wear OS. Which has been rebranded to Wear OS. What does it like to say? Wear-Os. Wear-Os. A friendly breakfast wearable. But first, let's start with Ashley. You're going to talk to us about avatars? Yeah, like digital emoji avatars. It's a thing. It's a thing. Paul, you know, video game avatars have been a thing forever. Yeah, I could never get my me to look like myself. I feel like I probably just have a very unique world structure aesthetic. But yeah, you make a character to play around and to represent you in the world. Right, it's important because you're in a digital world. That's you. Visualization. It's also like a huge business in games. Like the game company saw like clothes and like accessories for your digital avatars. Hats. Hats are big. And they changed Val as a company. Do you know today was hat day at the verge? And if you wore a hat, you got cake and no one told me about this? Are you kidding me? It was in Slack, Neelay. Oh, I missed it. Anyway. So, okay. So, video game avatars are one thing, but now we're seeing kind of these emoji avatars, digital representation coming to more messaging apps. Like personal exchanges you have with friends. So, like there's Animoji with the iPhone. Samsung just recently debuted their AR emoji. And then Bitmoji, which is now owned by Snap, is kind of like the originals that we're trying to do this. So, I'm going to just kind of walk you guys through a little bit of the market basically of what we're seeing now. And I feel like an important point to make here. I bet our audience knows this, but like Bitmoji was first. But Apple put out Animoji and there was like a wave of hype. But there's been a lot of these for a while, right? Yeah. Like multiple companies have tried to do this. So, Bitmoji does stickers and they actually relaunched this new Bitmoji Deluxe in January. And this is mine. It's kind of hard to see here, but these are mine. And they're very accurate. You've only made one face for this and then they adapt. And they put it in different situations. And then a company called Gabsi came around. And I think we actually have video footage because right now their app is not on the App Store currently. But just to show you guys, this came out over the summer and it was kind of like the video version of Bitmoji. So, it came out, the Internet kind of freaked out about it. Casey Newton wrote a piece about this. And then Snapchat was like, okay. There we go. So, you can see this is sort of like your Bitmoji, but doing stuff in a real world environment like AR. And so that came out at the time Bitmoji wasn't doing this. And now... It's a real classic one right there. The fart. Yeah. Snapchat has introduced a way to do it with your Bitmoji in Snapchat. I can't say what I want it to do. It's not masking my face or anything like that. So, did Gabsi just get killed by this? They're still a company. They're still a company. They're still a company. But why did they get pulled then? They pulled it themselves. Because they got eaten. I can't say too much. Okay. All I can say is they're still around. Okay. Yeah. So, you didn't have to make a new Bitmoji for this. This is just mine. Bitmoji is on my Snap. It's pulling from my Bitmoji app. Snapchat bought Bitmoji. Correct. And so, that's me in doing the AR. And I think this is... I'm in this environment. You've come on and done a ton of AR demos with us, but this is the AR most people know about. Yeah. Snap life. And that's like a more theoretical question I have is like this. It's my face. It's masked, but it's not masked. Like if I had a full mask on, it would be masked my face. Is this considered a digital AR emoji? I would say no. Yeah. Like I'm curious where the distinction is because... So, if we look at Animoji... Get this to go. You're punching that button. There's masks that cover your face entirely. On Snapchat, your name? Or Instagram? There's filters that kind of change your face. And then there's avatars that are not your face. They're a representation of your face. Right. That are masked to your facial features. So, like here with Animoji, the fox is my face. Like it's talking to me if I go like this. As Neelay points out, loves to point out, you can't really... Well, I can wink with this eye. I cannot wink. So, this is a true story. We did the iPhone X review. No time. I was playing with this, and I was on the phone with Apple. Before we published the review, I asked all my follow-up questions. And I was like, you can't blink. And they're like, we are aware that blinking is not yet supported by Animoji. And it will be rolled out in the future. I mean, that's important. It's a huge thing you do with your face. Like, arguably the biggest thing you do with your face. I'm good at it. I'm good. What's the main thing you do with your face? I got a 50%. I would say blinking. It's a big thing. It's tough. So, what's interesting about this, and we were talking about Bitmoji earlier. And, you know, when the iPhone X came out, everyone was doing Animoji karaoke. And you don't see them anymore. Like, that wave came and went. And my theory is like twofold. One, the iPhone X is really expensive. So, like, they sell a lot of them. But they're selling them to people who are maybe not incentivized to like make goofy internet memes. Right? The meme creators can't afford it. Because the dollars, the meme sales are poor. And then it's actually really hard to get them out of here. Like, you can text one to yourself. A lot of people, and that has a 10-second limit. And a lot of people, we actually have a how-to on our site. It's like just hit the screen recorder and then like crop and export that file. So, I think this is actually a killer creativity tool that is just in sort of classic Apple fashion. Just like harder to use and harder to share than it should be. Well, and you can't even get creative with lenses. Like Snapchat, Paul could tomorrow make a lens and submit it. Here in Apple, you're playing just with their specific version of emoji. And there's no Bitmoji equivalent. So, it's just their character. Exactly. By the way, this bunny looks angry and stoned. Every time I look at it, I find myself wondering like what? It looks tough. It's a really angry rabbit. Yeah, it's true. So, then this is a little bit similar to Bitmoji. But this is going off, we'll see with Samsung, you take a selfie. Google actually created a feature for Aloe, everyone's favorite messaging app. Everybody's favorite. Everybody's talking about Aloe right now. You can take a selfie. Google will feel good about itself. And it will turn your, it will use your face as inspiration to create art. So, this is based off of a selfie that I took. I'll send this to Paul. Like that's supposed to be me. And it's not too far off. You can actually also customize it. I think I can do it from here. Ashley, I want you to know that Chad is thinking about setting up a GoFundMe to get you a new phone. Because your phone is so broken. God. I mean, thanks guys. Yeah, so you can actually edit these. You can customize it if you feel like it wasn't an accurate representation of you. So, this is another way that Google is trying to take inspiration. It's looking through the camera at you, taking your photo, and trying to create you as an animation or as a character. But you can also use your own liberty to. So, that's kind of cool. Yeah, I think it's neat. They partner with artists to do it. And I think their styles are all different. And they're nice. One of the good service that we've done here today on the Circuit Breaker Show is we've shown anyone what Alo looks like. Yeah. Probably never opened it before. Yeah, this is what it is. Before you think that's the only background for Alo, you can customize your conversation background. Yeah, I was like, when did that change? Thanks, Paul. So, it seems like it's breaking down on like three lines, right? Like, how do you make them? Are they totally fake? Are they like representative of you in some way? Or are they just like a cartoon? And then how do you like share them? Right. The idea that these are tied to a messaging app seems interesting to me because that's obviously one audience that you have. The nice thing about this is. But this is machinima. Yeah. Like, you're using computer animation to like do stuff. The nice thing about Snapchat is that it has a messaging component and like a broadcasting component. Well, and Bitmoji is a keyboard too, the stickers, not the AR part of it. But the keyboard is like meant to be in any messaging app that you use. I went through a wild Bitmoji keyboard phase. Oh, really? Like, my family was like, you have to stop. Like, my cousin sat me down and was like, I am very annoyed with you. I just can't keep behind the Bitmoji aesthetic. It's just really not for me. Yeah. It is very extra, like in general. And it's weird to me because Bitmoji is so tied with Snap. Like, there's certain Snap features like with the maps, right? It's all Bitmoji. It's like, I don't want to be represented like that in the world. Fair. So. Well, Samsung has a horrifying feature. I think it's horrifying for you, my friend. All right. So these are the Samsung AR emoji. And someone in the chat actually asked us to predict if Samsung will ever talk about these again after the S9 launch. And my answer. That's a good time. Everybody's having fun. Well, so yeah. So Samsung has found another way to do this, which is by you taking a selfie and then it producing an animated version of you. But I think they just didn't get it right. Why? My character looks like it's had a stroke. Why are you gruffing so much? Is that my face? I don't know. What are you wearing? The clothing options are terrible, which you'll see when we do. You're going to create one. I'm wearing a workout suit. Okay. I took this one with my glasses on. And what is interesting is it did pick up on my birthmark. So it's really doing photo. See, that's like too uncanny. Yeah, I was like, whoa, okay. This is without. Oh, this is your other outfit choice. Okay. You look like a mean librarian. Yeah, that's totally my aesthetic. Come on. There it goes. All right. Okay. There you go. Just in case you missed it the first time. Great outfit. It's me. Amazing. I mean, it's like very photorealistic. I don't know if that's what you want. And the mapping's really bad, too. I just want to say. Yeah, because it doesn't have any of the depth stuff, right? It's just using camera. Yeah, but still, like Snapchat on my 6S does a better job. Well, what if this worked really well? Wouldn't it be cool? No. If it works really well, then just like take a video of yourself. Okay. So, Neil, I can't be in it. Okay. Take your selfie. I just push a button? Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's see what kind of old man this thing makes me. That's blurry. Let's see. It's creating his emoji. I don't think it's simple. What's it going to be? I'm so nervous. You're going to look so... Oh! I don't like you at all. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I don't like you at all. Oh, man. That is the worst. That's my nightmare. I like this Neil, I don't like the old Neil. What? None of these are my skin tones. Oh, my God. I hate this. Wow. All right. Let's just... Can we all take a look at this horrifying situation? All of this is bad. What does that say? That says figure. No. Oh, a turtleneck. What are... A blazer? This is all bad. This is all bad. This is bad. Terrible color. Samsung has read my coverage of Samsung. This is as close as it gets. Everyone picks that. That's a dude. That's like the one outfit that's acceptable. What is this tie? It's a fake tie. That's horrible. Is that a t-shirt tie? And that is just like another... It's like ankle-length pants. This is a professor who doesn't know what he's doing. He's hip. He's like, uh... It doesn't look like you at all. I will say this looks like Sam. All right. And then... All right. Oh, so then it creates gifs for you that you can use in any messaging service. This does not look like me. So now you could film a video if you wanted and send it wherever you want. Oh, my God. Why? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Why? It's horrible. This is the worst thing ever. It's horrible. Ew. What? I hate this so, so, so much. I love it. All right. I think we've... Sam's done. You've created art. Good job. I hate it so much. This is why I'm animoji only. Okay. Okay, fair. After that, fair. Seriously. This is why I just draw pictures for people and send them letters in the mail. I'm just saying. That is horrible. I'm supposed to be a fox. Okay. That's what I know. All right. We've got a great Ask Surger Breaker for you. These are questions that come from you in our chat, in our comments. We try to answer them as deeply as we can. Jake and Chaim have a couple for you. Take it away. Today, we have a bunch of questions about Fortnite. I have never actually played Fortnite, so we have Chaim here to answer them. I've played Fortnite, so I'm way ahead of you, Jake. That is all of the qualification you need. We have a whole bunch of questions from YouTube. But first, I just want to get us started. I hadn't heard that much about Fortnite until like two weeks ago. Now it seems to be everywhere. Just quickly, what is Fortnite and why is it blowing up right now? So, Fortnite is a game that launched last year. It's actually very similar to PUBG, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. But the big thing with Fortnite is that Fortnite is free. Sounds great. Yeah. Cool. All right. So, what is our first question? We've got one from Lex. How do you think this changes the landscape of mobile gaming? Which franchise should follow suit? So, I don't think Fortnite is actually changing the landscape of mobile gaming that much. Just to backtrack a bit, Fortnite is in the news not only because it's one of the most popular games in the world right now, but because they just launched a mobile version on iOS that's in beta at the beginning of this week. PUBG actually then followed that up by launching its mobile version, which had been out in China and other regions in the US and Canada just after Fortnite. So, now you have these big games on mobile for the first time, which is really interesting. I don't think it's going to change the landscape that much. These are very specific, very popular games, like riding this edge of popularity. And at the end of the day, there's still console and PC games that are really meant to be played with a controller and a mouse and keyboard. And just porting them one-to-one from console just doesn't seem like a viable strategy that we're going to see other studios necessarily doing. Yeah. So, what's the thinking behind bringing these to console or to mobile? Because it doesn't seem like that's the normal place for them. So, part of the experience of Fortnite and PUBG are you have these big hundred-person matches. And the goal there then is just get the biggest possible player base as possible so you can have these games. And when you bring mobile into the mix with all the iOS and Android phones out there, that's a huge player base. And one of the cool things is that they are working on cross-play. So, right now you can't, but in the future, at least for Fortnite, you'll be able to take Fortnite and play it on your phone against someone on Xbox and someone on a PC all in one match. You'll immediately get destroyed because you're using a touch screen and everyone else has a mouse and keyboard. But it'll be possible, which is kind of cool. Yeah, that is a very good segue because our next question, which is a two-parter that is partially about cross-play. The first is, do you think Fortnite will ever be cross-platform across all consoles? And the second question is coming up. Well, for now… We can address this one. Yeah. So, the answer in a word is probably not. That's two words, but… Here's the thing. Cross-play is in theory possible. We know it's possible with Fortnite. Fortnite accidentally turned it on last year and you could play against PS4 and Xbox for like a weekend. It happened. And then they sent out an apology saying that they'd made a mistake. So, it's technically possible. It's possible with other games. You have Rocket League enables cross-play between Switch, Xbox, Switch, Xbox, PC. Minecraft is on a whole bunch of things. The odd man out in all these situations is Sony, who doesn't want to enable cross-play. The reason for this is very simple. Sony sells more consoles than anyone else and is leading the industry. So, it's not in their best interest to make it more convenient for you to not own a PlayStation. It makes sense. It sucks. It's probably not changing anytime soon. So, that brings us to the second part of this question is, do you think having cross-platform gaming is a gimmick? And you kind of got into whether it's difficult because it seems to just be Sony doesn't want to. So, from a technical perspective, I don't think it's that difficult for them to implement. As to whether or not it's a gimmick, I don't really think we're going to see a lot of cross-platform people doing this. What I would ask is, I mean, is that even an enjoyable experience? Because you're playing a shooter which is very fast-paced, needs a lot of precision on mobile, and you're playing it potentially against people who are much better suited to play those games because they're on PC. Yeah. So, part of it is also that like switch mentality that you can play anywhere in the world, and that's kind of cool. But in terms of like practical play, I don't think you're going to really see too much of it being done just because you're going to get destroyed once that's turned on. It is optional. Like you don't need to play cross-play. You can just play against people on phones, and that's like a much more viable experience. Okay, our next question is from somebody who is hoping to play Fortnite. It's from Tommy. I'm 11, and my dad disagrees with all the shooting games. How's the point? However, I would love to be able to play Fortnite on my phone or PS4. Does anyone have any tips that I can use to persuade my dad to allow me to play? I feel for you. My heart goes out to Tommy. The biggest problem with Tommy is that his dad is technically in the right. Fortnite and PUBG are both rated T for teen by the SRB, which in theory means that they recommend that they're for people aged 13 and up, and Tommy is 11. A lot of better luck in Europe. They're both rated PEGI 12 there. I mean, these are just recommendations. It's really what parents and children on their own decide to work out together. So maybe offer to do more chores or see if your dad will try the game and see. PUBG is not the Fortnite especially is cartoony. It's not that violent. There's no blood. I'm not a parent, so I'm not qualified to give advice on this, but I'm on Tommy's team. Tommy's dad, if you're watching, give him a chance. This was very good, like indie game scene, too, doesn't it? Is that that is where I would be if I was looking for some games to play. All right. That's yeah. And our final question, we actually got a tweet from Dan Seifer is gonna show later. Is Fortnite anything like dots? Dan, Fortnite is exactly like dots there. It's basically just a dots clone. You should dive right in. Sounds great. Next up, we have Sam Sheffer with some retro phones. Is it is it live? Are we live? I just totally ruin that segue. I think we can unplug these now. Hi, I'm here. I'm doing well, man. You're the big star now. Thanks, man. I'm trying coming up. Yeah. We've known each other. Do you know how long it's been? We hired Sam when he was 17. 19. I believe it was illegal for you to hire you at the time. It's been so long. Sam used to work at The Verge, and then he worked a bunch of other places. And now he's an independent. Jake said it best. He was like he's a pioneer of a multitude of social platforms. Sam is living something like that. He's here to talk about sidekicks. So we want to bring on our friends to talk about their favorite old tech, because we love old tech on the show. I think it's so cool. We did a whole bunch of iPods a few weeks ago. But you, we asked you, what's your favorite old tech? And you told us sidekicks. The Sidekick LX specifically. Why the LX? So tell us what this is, first of all. This was one of the, oh yeah, nice. We've got the overhead camera over here. This was, I would argue, the best Sidekick that ever came out. This is the Sidekick LX. It came in two or three colors. It was released at the end of 2007, and I got it then. The original iPhone had come out in June of 2007, and I saw it and thought it was really stupid, frankly, because I didn't understand what you could do with a touch screen phone. You certainly couldn't do this. And you had the flip out screen, the physical keyboard. There's the LED indicator also. And this to me was just spoke very highly of, you know, kind of mobile development. Nothing like this existed, this kind of like bubbly, scrolly UI. And we were on Singular as a family back then. I jumped to T-Mobile. You left your family plans? Yeah, to get this, yeah. Were all your friends getting this phone, so you were like, okay, I've got to go get this? I remember in high school, a couple of girls actually, my friend Ashley had like the Sidekick 2 or Sidekick 3 in high school. I was like, that is just the dopest phone. And I was the only one in my high school that had the Sidekick LX. There was one person who had an iPhone original, and I was rocking this. And I just remember just like, yeah, I'm the coolest dude in school. No question about it. And yeah, nothing like this existed back then. You've got to remember, 2008 was so different. Like the phone came with AIM back then. No one was really on Facebook back then. And the mobile landscape was vastly different. Yeah, I mean, the thing to know about these, Sidekick was an Andy Rubin project. This is what that dude did before he started Android, and then was fired from Android. And now he's started Essential. But this model – Wasn't it like a robot at some point for a small amount of time? Yeah, he's been using Essential for a few minutes. But Andy Rubin is like one of the godfathers of mobile. So many of his ideas still to this day are like embodied in this device. So can you walk me through how you actually use this? Yeah, totally. So just for the viewer's information, someone sent me these. I would always talk about on Twitter and other socials about how much I miss this phone with the physical keyboard. So thanks to whoever sent me these. I have the blue version. This is the mocha version. So there's buttons on the face here. There's buttons on the edges here. But the most important thing is the flip-out screen. And if you watch it really slowly, you don't even notice the animation of when the screen actually goes upside down. Very good tech for back then. Physical keyboard, full QWERTY keyboard. I don't understand you a lot for these physical keyboards. I just – I was so – Wait, let's see a little type thing. Let's see a little type thing. It's far up in the air. I can't. The controller is broken. I don't – I can't – How do you even start? Maybe new message here? I have honey for lunch. Let's see. I don't know what messages are about to be in here right now. Text message. Oh my God. Inbox empty. How do you – draft? Decade old text messages. I don't even know how to do this. New message. Here we go. All right. Windows 95. Yeah. All right. So if we're going to type in here, hey, what's going on? I'm on the show. I don't see any text. There's no text showing up. Well, that's a problem. It was a lot of work to do that. Yeah. Well, this is a great text. Here we go. Here we go. I'm on the show. We are live. I mean, it takes some getting used to, right? Like I've been smashed away on glass for 10 years, but I remember having this thing back in high school and I got so fast. I'm so not used to this. And then, yeah, this is the operating system. There were no apps. There was a couple of games on here. Menu Shift L I think brings up a – there's like a secret game or something built into here. But yeah, just – I just want to contextualize again. 2008 was so much different than 2018 for the cell phone landscape. But then I tried an iPhone for the first time and this was such a – this device acted in two orientations. But the iPhone was like a true portrait, three and a half inch device. And I tried – it was Google Maps. I remember looking at the blip. I thought it was crazy how you can be tracked in real time. Like we were on a bus together, me and my friend Rami who had the phone. And then like a month or two later, I got to play with it again and I saw the threaded text or – yeah, the text messages were threaded in iOS. And if you remember back in the day when you had a flip phone, it was just message, message, message. There was no threading. So those two things kind of sold me. And then like saw the iPhone 3G redesign faster, all that stuff. So I ditched this. I sold the Sidekick to pay for the iPhone 3G. So was there like Sidekick culture in your world? Because I mean it was a phone but it didn't have any like integrated services. There's no like – like BlackBerry had BBM. Yeah, there was AIM. The iPhone has iMessage. There was AIM. The reason why people – a big reason of why people got this phone is because it had AIM built in. It's got all the messengers. Well, yeah, it had Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger built in, phone, address book. It had a browser too, like really crappy browser for back then. It's a WAP browser. And then I guess we could just do one more demo here. Let's show off the camera how great it is. What were you upgrading from when you got this? I was on a – if anyone remembers, this is a real throwback here. This is – it was a T-Mobile MDA. So it was a touch screen HTC device with a pen. It was running Windows Mobile 6.5 or something with – it was a capacitive touch screen. So you're giving up a lot of functionality there. Yeah, but for this OS. Yeah, so that's the camera here. The frame rate is awfully slow. No, you're good. So saving the device to – this got two, three photos remaining here. But I just want to show like how slow – Shoot a picture of Neelai. Let's take a picture of Neelai here. I keep wanting to touch the screen. Oh my God. Oh, wow, a flash. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Not bad. My favorite things about this device though, the flip out screen for sure, physical keyboard, and then I missed the LED indicator. Yeah, a lot of people – Remember how great that was. You could just glance over at your phone and within a second you knew what kind of message you had. Do any flagship – does the S9 have an LED indicator? It's all gone. It does? It does. It does. In the top, right? Yeah. Can you change it? People use it? Dan, see where he's like in the corner. He's giving us technical expertise. Dan, can you set it to like new text messages, blue or – There are some limited controls and I think there's maybe some like third party apps that you can – Okay. It's definitely not as – Okay. And then also the only text message tone for this was new message. So when you got a new message, it said new message and then – yeah. What's interesting to me is like the – like this thing was in like a bunch of Jay-Z videos. Dude, there was a Dwayne Wade sidekick. There was a Tony Hawk sidekick. They got big celebrity endorsements and I remember the commercials were always so cool. Like I need that phone. Yeah, this was like – there was definitely culture behind this. Like this is going to sound really ridiculous, but like if you had a sidekick, you were cool. Like it was definitely associated – like the same way Beats by Drexel. The same way Beats by Drexel when they came out were like the cool thing to have, I feel like this was very cool to have. How much was this? How hard was it to get? I don't think it was too hard to get. On contract, I paid like $200 or $250 or something like that. I remember breaking even on the sale. But my dad had a friend at a cell phone store, so I definitely got hooked up. Chad is telling me that Eric and Jared are saying the Pixel 2 has an LED indicator. Brandon is saying you should use Lightflow for LED control. Ooh, that's good. And then Eric is also saying he misses his LG NV touch. So like there was a moment, I think this is the moment of like the last of the feature phones. And they got really crazy for a while. Like remember the LG Chocolate? It was like the hottest phone on Verizon for a minute. The slidey-uppy that always broke. It was garbage. Yeah, but this I think you're absolutely right. This was kind of the turning point for all cell phones are going to be glass with touchscreens. And this was it. But I dearly miss it. I want to pour one out for Sonny Erickson. I know we're not talking about that right now. We always do. My Sonny Erickson Walkman WA-10i. We're going to bring that on the show one of these days. And let's pour one out for Dieter in his palms with the physical keyboards. Yeah, rest in peace. I don't buy this physically. I've never understood it. Every time one of those new BlackBerries comes out, I pick it up and I'm like, yeah, I'm a businessman now. And then it's just slow. I'm curious if the chat. Oh, OnePlus has an LED indicator too. Okay, so it's an Android. It's weird. We have these phones on the show all the time, and I never see their LED. I think they're like disabled. I feel like they're not like the companies aren't pushing that as a feature, but they're so underratedly good just for the kind of glancing capabilities, I feel like. Because if you look at your iPhone, it's just a black slate with the screen off. Right. People are just naming phones that were supposed to be iPhone killers. The LG Voyager was going to be an iPhone killer. There are so many feature phones like this. Oh, the other thing people are pointing out, Rev Atlas is pointing this out in the chat. These were manufactured by Andy Rubin, HTC. He goes. He does Android. Who does he partner with to build the first Android phone? HTC, Big Chin. But this is built by HTC? No, this is Sharp. That's Sharp? This is a Sharp phone, yeah. But the first HTC. It was a G1. The first T-Mobile G1 was HTC, right, Dan? Yeah, it was. But no, this was Sharp. I think all the sidekicks were Sharp. Wasn't there a nasty LG Sidekick too for a minute? Because this was just a brand that T-Mobile had. T-Mobile bought the brand and put it on Samsung. Yeah. That was like the latch ditch effort for that, right? There was like the Sidekick slide, and then they just got really bad, really. Once they took away this, it's like, come on, what are you even doing? Yeah. I think I want to put one of these on the shelf. Donate one of these to the archives. Is that appropriate? I love it, man. Are you going to keep the other one? Leave one here, yeah. I'm just going to put it just like right here. The archives need your love, man. Just going to put it right here, and then I'm going to come back to the table, and then you can transition. I'm going to just leave that on there and let that die. The battery will just die. That's good. That's the only thing that shows up. That's it. All right, Sam, thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Appreciate it. Paul. Yeah. You just keep doing this to me. Paul's made another video that I was not shown beforehand. I don't know why. I'm not trying to keep any secrets from you, Neil. Sam, the worst. I was not trained for this. Just wait here. There is a transition out here. It's a little transition. It's a little transition. It's called Hot Tips. It's another show within a show. It's called Hot Tips. Just watch it. Paul's segment begins as a two-minute. Hello. It's your friend, Paul Miller. I'm great at a lot of things. I can program in multiple languages. I can throw and catch a Frisbee. I can draw really good logos. But the thing I can't do is tell you how to live your life. And that's why I've asked my kind and supportive colleagues here at The Verge to help me out with something I'm calling Hot Tips. Deaver Bone. Yes. Hey, I'm doing Hot Tips this week. Yeah. I wanted to know if you had any Hot Tips. My first Hot Tip is if you have a weird name when you go to Starbucks, pick a different name. Peter with a D? I tell people my name is Peter at Starbucks because it's just way easier. Oh, that's a good Hot Tip. Yeah. Okay, so. Fake name at Starbucks. But you have to use the same fake name every time because if you don't, you're going to forget what your fake name is and then you won't get your coffee. So when Deaver gets his coffee, he wears a disguise. He says, Peter. All right. We're about to get a Hot Tip from Thomas Rooker, my favorite Dutchman. I was wondering where you were going to go with that. Okay, so one of the things that I use in iOS that I don't think a lot of people know about is shared shopping list. And what you can do is you can create shared lists by going in, setting up sharing, add a person, and I can use Paul. So I can add that and then you will receive a notification on your iPhone or maybe your iPad. I don't know. Oh, I got it. Invitation to share a reminders list with Thomas Rooker. Okay, right now the list is empty. It also shows up empty for me. So there's nothing in it. I get a confirmation that you accepted the invitation. Hey Siri, add bread to the shopping list. Okay, I added bread to your shopping list. So added bread to the shopping list. And now what you're going to see. I see it. Bread right there. Yeah. So that's great because my wife and I, I mean, we're separate during the day and we usually shop every day because we live in a big city. And this way, whoever goes to the store will see the updated list and they can buy things. And then if you tap the little checkbox, then it'll disappear. In Europe, we just buy one slice of bread at a time. It's very frugal. We don't have this waste in America. It's ridiculous. Well, thank you, Thomas. I really appreciate it. Got any hot tips? Do you want a real tech tip? Yeah. Okay. So I've been saying lately people should pay for Tinder. Why do you pay for Tinder? I don't pay for Tinder right now. But why should someone? But I suggest paying for Tinder because I've spent many hours of my life swiping on Tinder and it is a profound waste of time. Honestly, it is. Right. And if you pay for Tinder, you basically get a page of just people who have already swiped right on you. Right. So it's kind of like a catalog. Like you're shopping for people and you can just say yes or no and you know they'll like you back regardless. You can't pay for Tinder no matter what Ashley says because then you just get thousands and thousands of choices and you have to scroll through them like a DVD catalog. It's terrible. It's so depressing. It's the bleakest thing that's ever happened to me. Probably a good idea, good advice also to not take dating advice from someone in a relationship. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to patch up this. You should take dating advice from me, the person who's in a terrible relationship because of a dating app. I'm really confused now. Okay, so I've got Ashley says money for relationships. Caitlin, no money. Lizzie, what were you saying? Someone's in a relationship and they have a cool idea. Don't listen to it. So hot tips, I guess you could say this one was. Learning a lot. We're back. Paul, always a delight, my friend. Thank you. Appreciate it. Always confusing. I did those for free. The thing is they literally never show me the videos before we go in here. I don't know why. I think that's the best part. I have no secrets. I enjoy a good time. All right, Dan. Hey, I'm here. There was news this week. Yeah, so believe it or not, there was Android smartwatch news. There's a big watch conference going on. Right, okay. So the news is that Android Wear is dead. Long live Android Wear. It's dead. It is now Wear OS or Wearos as I like to say. Google renamed it Wearos. Google renamed it and I think the primary reason that Google renamed it is because the company claims that one out of three of these Wear smartwatches is used with an iPhone. And so to clear up confusion that you don't need Android to use this, we're taking Android out of the name, which seems to be a running theme at Google. They're taking Android out of the name of things. And the reason that the announcement was made this week or last week was because this week is Baselworld or Baselworld out in Switzerland, which is the big watch conference of the year. But that's the only news that Google had. It seems really weak to show up at a conference and say, big news, everybody. We changed the name. Is it still garbage? Yeah. But the name is different. Yeah, fundamentally nothing else has changed. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not really in-depth use Android Wear. I'll just say this. The garbage is an appropriate description. I'm really walking that one back. I would say the garbage is an appropriate description of Android Wear. It's more like somebody at Google's 20% project. Kinda. Yeah, it kinda feels like that. Like, I mean, so Android Wear has been around for a number of years. It actually launched before the Apple Watch. And it's kind of just faltered and tripped and stumbled. And now we're at a point where Wear 2.0 came out a little over a year ago now. This is the Google's LG Watch Sport, which was like one of the flagship watches with the Wear 2.0 launch. And nothing has really happened since then. Basically, fashion brands have taken it over. And so right now, this is the Movado Connect, which... How much is this watch? That's $600. Wow. And that's a Movado. And so Fossil and Movado and Louis Vuitton and a bunch of other fashion brands have released smart watches using Google's smart watch platform. But the tech companies really haven't done anything in quite a while. They've kind of backed up all out of it and just left it to the fashion companies. And the issue that that presents is you get some nice-looking watches. I'm wearing... Let me see if I can line up here. Here I'm wearing one of the more recent ones. This is the Skagen Foster, which was announced at CES. That's nice. It's a nice-looking watch. It is the right size. It is sharp-looking. It doesn't really scream I'm wearing a smart watch. It's got good design. It's comfortable to wear. But it has fewer features than this one does. And you might not care about all those features. Like this one has LTE and GPS and NFC for mobile payments and things like that. But maybe you care about one of them. And this doesn't really have any of them. How much does that cost? This all starts at $275. Well, especially your problem is this is the Apple Watch. If you have an iPhone, this can do everything. It can also send messages. None of these can do with an iPhone. Yep. That's right. It has whatever nonsense iPhone watch apps exist, which is not a big deal. But if you're in Apple's ecosystem and you have an iPhone, this is just such a better option. It really is. I mean, I've been using this paired with my iPhone to see what that experience is like. And it's pretty miserable. You can't do anything with the notifications. You can't archive your emails easily. You can't reply to messages. You can't easily control what notifications you get sent to the watch and not sent to the watch and things like that. So it's definitely a subpar experience in Apple Watch. Frank in the chat says, I have a Moto 362 and it was a waste of money. I mean, that's like to me, Apple spent – so I don't know if you guys remember. The first Apple Watch came out and the first line of my review, which was like a huge, big, anticipated, all the attention, Tim Cook's first new product line. The first line of our review of the first Apple Watch was, it's kind of slow. And the last line was, you shouldn't spend money on what it looks like until they figure out what it's for. It was a very medium review. Since then, they have made it substantially faster. They have completely redone the interface twice basically. To pair away a bunch of unnecessary functions. They've really backed away from apps as far as I can tell. And they've really focused it on fitness. And then depending on – Notifications. Like Apple is so bad at notifications and being like they focus on notifications. They fell into quicksand and just died. But that's a form of focus. I reviewed the Apple Watch 3 last fall and it's like you said, much faster. The software is easier to use and more intuitive. It's much more useful than before. It's still very much an Apple Watch and very much not for everybody. But it is making forward steps at least. And that's where Google is not. If someone is not familiar with Wear OS, could you run me through what is the basic UI? How do you actually use it? One of the things that is different about Wear OS versus say the Apple Watch is you can customize the watch face extensively. You can download third party watch faces. You can customize – Look, this one has this watch face here that you can customize all these different cells to do different things which is pretty extensive. But you can also download third party ones and you can swipe through them very easily. It also does have apps. You push the button on the side. This one has a little spinny dial like a digital crown and you can access your apps. The digital crown. It is also a touch screen. But it's your basic set of apps. There's not really anything different here from the Apple Watch. The difference being that there isn't a ton of third party apps that you actually care to use on this that you might find on the Apple Watch. You're not likely to find them here. With Android Wear 2.0 which is now Wear OS 2.0, Google actually put the app store directly on the watch. So you can download apps directly to the watch without using your phone. And that kind of is the clunkiest thing in the world. It is rather slow. It's hard to – this one is not connected to the internet. But it's hard to find apps. It's slow to download them. It's not a pleasant experience. But that work around exists simply because of how impossible it would be for Google to get apps on these when it's connected to an iPhone. If it was relying on the app. One of the original promises of Android Wear way back when was it's kind of like Google Now on your wrist. Is that still a thing at all? So it has the Google Assistant. You can say, okay, Google and it will wake up and you can use your voice command. The Google Now that existed in 2014 when Android Wear first launched basically doesn't exist today. Google has kind of iterated on it, changed it so many times. It became Now on Tap on the phone and then something else and now it's a Google Assistant. And that like useful information cards don't really show up in many places anymore. And they don't really show up on your wrist. But the transition has been to things like watch faces that you can put your upcoming appointments or calendar entries in. You can put your step count. You can put weather and things like that. You can customize those complications so you don't have these like interstitial interruptions. I just feel like the New York watches have LTE and a bunch of Wear OS watches have LTE. A couple of them. Not many actually. This is one. Maybe one or two others have it. But it hasn't really caught on. But the idea of the watch as existing separate from your phone, I just don't think anybody has really figured out how to make an interface that works great with this. I don't think anybody has really figured out what they're for beyond, hey, I have a job that makes me walk around a lot. Right? I'm a nurse or a doctor or something. I'm a server. Like those people all love them. I have a friend who worked as a worker in like a high-end art gallery and she wasn't allowed to use her phone when she was at work. So she loved her Apple Watch because she would be able to at least see and respond to text. I've heard that before as well. Great. That's all great. It's a little remote control for your phone. But at the end of the day, I think people just want to look at their phones. And I think that's Android Wear's big struggle and I think why the fashion brands have adopted it because you're just buying this fashionable thing. And they make it look really nice. They can make it look nice and then in six months they can put out a new color or they can like scrap it a year later and come out with a new design because their cycles are different than the tech cycles. The other thing that seems to be with Google's watches that has stalled is the actual technology development. So you can see these are all pretty sizable watches, especially these two. Even the Skagen, it's comfortable on my wrist, but if you have a smaller wrist, you're probably going to find it large. And this is the big Apple Watch. And you know, it's considerably smaller. Apple's on its third generation of processor in there. This is a brand new watch. It was just announced to CES this year and it has a two-year-old Qualcomm processor in it. So the processors are not getting smaller or more efficient or more powerful that would let you do slimmer things and longer battery life and all the stuff that Apple's been able to make. All right, we're going to wrap up the show with a few questions here. People ask about the Fitbit Verso which just came out. What do you think? I'm highly skeptical based on the last Fitbit smartwatch. Yeah. Sean is saying when is Google Pay coming to Wear OS? It's like sort of there on some of these. Yeah, so if your watch has an NFC chip like this one here, you can make mobile payments using Android Pay which is slowly getting rebranded to Google Pay. Google Pay is just a rebranding of Android Pay to remove Android from everything. See, it's a trend. Andy asked what's the update situation like for Wear OS? Can you reasonably expect two plus years of support? I don't know if you can say two plus years but the one thing about Wear OS is that all of the current watches basically get updated at the same time. It's not the same as the phone situation where if you have a Samsung you might wait a year for the software that came to a Pixel. They all basically do get updated at the same time. The current list of watches that are getting the Wear OS update which is basically just a new logo are basically watches that have been released within the last two years. If you've got a Moto 360 which was last released in 2015, you're out of luck or a first generation Huawei watch, you're out of luck from three years ago. But most of the ones within the past 18 to 24 months are on that update list. All right, last one. Samuel says what does Google have to do to make Wear OS not a joke? I mean, we're here for 20 more minutes everybody. Buckle up. I think a lot of people would say that Google has to make its own watch which it hasn't done yet. There's no Pixel watch. So there's no, like I was saying, there's no advancement on the hardware or the silicon or the chips inside of it. I think Google has not focused Wear OS in the way that Apple has focused watch OS on fitness. And so there's really no focus there. I think it still is trying to get too much of the people who are interested in it on a nerd level involved. And it's kind of dropped the ball there because things that look nice and what you want to wear don't have all the features that me a nerd would want. I just hate the idea of another computer I have to care for. Like I have a lot of computers. They all need a lot of upkeep. The Russians are apparently trying to hack everything all the time. I just had to delete like 9,000 Facebook apps today. Like I got enough going on. Another full-on computer in my life that needs software updates and app management and battery charging. It's got to do more for me than just show me motion notifications. What if I had a calculator? I like that it shows me the weather. That's the one thing that I enjoy is that it gives me weather at a glance because I'm like an obsessive weather nerd. Is Google going to bring anything to Google I.O. you think? My knowledge is that there will be talk about Wear OS at Google I.O. I have no idea what they're going to say or if there's going to be new news there. But I would expect it if we're going to have any news about Wear OS in the future, we're going to see it at Google I.O. All right. So that is it to look forward to if you're a watch nerd. Okay, that is it for this week on Sugar Break It Live. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Jake. Thank you, Haim. Thank you, Ashley.

face?" }, { "start": 317, "end": 318, "text": " I got a 50%." }, { "start": 318, "end": 319, "text": " I would say blinking." }, { "start": 319, "end": 320, "text": " It's a big thing." }, { "start": 320, "end": 321, "text": " It's tough." }, { "start": 321, "end": 325, "text": " So, what's interesting about this, and we were talking about Bitmoji earlier." }, { "start": 325, "end": 330, "text": " And, you know, when the iPhone X came out, everyone was doing Animoji karaoke." }, { "start": 330, "end": 332, "text": " And you don't see them anymore." }, { "start": 332, "end": 334, "text": " Like, that wave came and went." }, { "start": 334, "end": 337, "text": " And my theory is like twofold." }, { "start": 337, "end": 339, "text": " One, the iPhone X is really expensive." }, { "start": 339, "end": 341, "text": " So, like, they sell a lot of them." }, { "start": 341, "end": 347, "text": " But they're selling them to people who are maybe not incentivized to like make goofy internet memes." }, { "start": 347, "end": 348, "text": " Right?" }, { "start": 348, "end": 350, "text": " The meme creators can't afford it." }, { "start": 350, "end": 354, "text": " Because the dollars, the meme sales are poor." }, { "start": 354, "end": 357, "text": " And then it's actually really hard to get them out of here." }, { "start": 357, "end": 360, "text": " Like, you can text one to yourself." }, { "start": 360, "end": 362, "text": " A lot of people, and that has a 10-second limit." }, { "start": 362, "end": 365, "text": " And a lot of people, we actually have a how-to on our site." }, { "start": 365, "end": 370, "text": " It's like just hit the screen recorder and then like crop and export that file." }, { "start": 370, "end": 377, "text": " So, I think this is actually a killer creativity tool that is just in sort of classic Apple fashion." }, { "start": 377, "end": 380, "text": " Just like harder to use and harder to share than it should be." }, { "start": 380, "end": 382, "text": " Well, and you can't even get creative with lenses." }, { "start": 382, "end": 386, "text": " Like Snapchat, Paul could tomorrow make a lens and submit it." }, { "start": 386, "end": 390, "text": " Here in Apple, you're playing just with their specific version of emoji." }, { "start": 390, "end": 393, "text": " And there's no Bitmoji equivalent." }, { "start": 393, "end": 394, "text": " So, it's just their character." }, { "start": 394, "end": 395, "text": " Exactly." }, { "start": 395, "end": 397, "text": " By the way, this bunny looks angry and stoned." }, { "start": 397, "end":

Do you compulsively force close your apps, trying to save battery life, or make your phone more efficient? So what does exiting apps actually do? It turns out, closing your apps doesn't help, and actually, it's bad for your phone. Apple's Senior VP of Software Craig Federighi reportedly answered this question to a user in 2016. In an email, he said closing apps isn't necessary and it doesn't help with battery life. Apple explicitly says on its support pages that users should only force close apps when they're unresponsive. Meanwhile, Hiroshi Lockheimer, the Senior Vice President of Platforms and Ecosystems at Google, tweeted a similar thought last year. In his tweets, he said users shouldn't close out of apps because the operating system already manages what they do in the background. It closes apps when necessary and slows them down into background activity. Just to confirm all this, I talked to an independent iOS developer, Ish Shabazz, and he said, What happens when you do the double click, what you're seeing is a screenshot, right? It's a screenshot of the last AP app was in. So the app usually is not running anymore. And the app will wake it up when it needs to run, if need be, but it actually will shut it down after just a few seconds, maybe like 10 seconds or so. Keeping your apps open in the background means your phone can hold them up more quickly as if they were just asleep and you're waking them up. Relaunching every app requires more work and battery power. Although if data usage matters to you, having apps on in the background will use up some data, but not that much. If you care about your device, you'll defer to Google and Apple's software management systems. They were designed to help. Listen, I hate that this is the truth. I'm going to try to keep my apps open, but in reality, I know I'm going to feel the urge to close them. And guess what? I'm probably going to do it.

It's been three years since Dell shook up the laptop world with the XPS 13 and showed that you can have a full-sized laptop Display in a really compact footprint. So it's time for a proper update to the design and this is the new Dell XPS 13 Now the new model doesn't look hugely different from the prior version at first glance But Dell has made a number of tweaks and refinements some of them are good Some of them are bad that freshen up the appearance and functionality of the laptop Let's start with the good things the most impressive thing about the old XPS 13 was how small the border around the display was And the new models even tinier making it the smallest 13 inch laptop you can buy It's also slightly lighter Which is a good thing because the last model was considerably heavier than many of its more modern competitors And it's also slightly thinner it comes in two colors standard black and silver version or this very pretty rose gold and white model That I have here And despite the smaller profile the new model is not a crippled machine like last year's 2-in-1 version was It has full power eighth generation Intel Core processors up to 16 gigabytes of RAM and plenty of power for most any Productivity tasks you can do. Now you can't game on it But it does support Thunderbolt 3 so you can plug in an external GPU and game that way if you want The new display is really a stunner It comes in either a 1080p non-touch version or a 4k touchscreen option and thanks to those even smaller bezels it really pops It's bright colorful and just plain great to look at now I'd much prefer if it was a 3 by 2 aspect ratio instead of this 16 by 9 and it's disappointing The only touchscreen option is on the 4k panel which pushes the price of the XPS 13 up to over 1600 bucks But otherwise, it's a really nice display Dells also kept some other niceties like this battery gauge on this left side Let's you check the status of the battery without having to open the laptop The keyboard is also slightly less mushy with great travel and the trackpad is fast and smooth, too So what's not so great about this? Well for starters the webcam is still awful Now Dell moved it from the lower left corner of the display to the center and added Windows Hello IR login features But it still has an awful unflattering up-the-nose viewing angle and it still gets blocked by my fingers if I'm typing while on a conference call It's really kind of frustrating that Dell hasn't figured out a better way to do this by now The other big issue is the port selection on the XPS 13 It now comes with three USB C ports two of them are Thunderbolt 3 And then it's also got a headphone jack and a micro SD card slot now I love that I can charge the laptop via any of the USB C ports But it's still frustrating that there isn't a single USB a port for all of those accessories that still require it That means that yes, you'll be living the dawn of life and at least Dell is kind enough to throw in an adapter in the box For you, but I promptly and unfortunately lost it It's also kind of a bummer that the full-size SD card slot has been traded for that far less useful micro SD slot It's either give me a full-size slot or don't even bother the micro SD port is kind of a crummy compromise Now the other disappointment I've been having with the new model is that it has a smaller battery than the prior version and I've been averaging Just six hours of use between charges with the 4k touchscreen version That's a bit less than a full workday and it's lower than I'd really like from this level of computer So that's the new XPS 13. It's a couple of steps forward and a couple of steps back Which is overall kind of a bit of a bummer I'd have loved to see Dell Rethink the placement of that webcam and maintain some of the port options of the prior model while still shrinking the overall footprint It also would have been nice if the battery hadn't gotten smaller in the process either But if you don't care about any of those things the new XPS 13 is one of the smallest Nicest looking most portable full power laptops you can buy For more on the XPS 13 and Windows laptops in general check out the verge comm and youtube.com slash the verge

You might know this about me from earlier videos, but I love a good Kindle. Especially a new one. What she means to say is that she likes spending money on gadgets that clever marketing campaigns have convinced her she needs. No, I just like buying high quality items that I know I'm going to get a lot of value out of. Like this new Kindle Oasis. Wait, wasn't the Kindle Oasis new in 2016? No, this is the new, new Kindle Oasis. And it's even better for reading books. You know what's really good for reading books? Books. Amazon launched this Kindle Oasis last fall and it replaced the previous Kindle Oasis. Oh yeah, I remember now. That was the first Kindle Oasis and it wasn't waterproof. Well, surprise! This one is finally waterproof. It also costs $249, which is $50 less than the original Oasis. That's still a lot of money for a Kindle. Let me guess. This is the part where you say the Kindle Paperwhite is the best Kindle ever. No, actually, I've turned a new leaf. I'm off of Twitter. I'm only checking Facebook once a day and I'm reading real books, real paper books. So basically you're trying to go back to living in 2008. Sometimes I think that wouldn't be such a terrible thing. Now this new Kindle Oasis has the brightest, highest resolution display of any Kindle. And I bet you can barely see the difference. No, I mean this actually matters when you're in a dark environment and you're just trying to see what's on the page. Right, which is why I have this book lamp. You just flip it on and turn it up. That is the nerdiest thing I've ever seen you do. Did you carry that here in your knitting bag? Yeah. Okay. Also, this is square shaped and it's weighted in such a way that it's really easy to hold in one hand. What does it matter that it's square shaped? Okay, try holding that in one hand comfortably for an extended period of time. Okay, that's probably one of the only things the Kindle is good for. It has these page turn buttons here. Who needs buttons to turn a page? And like other Kindles, it has a touch screen. So you can just navigate through chapters by tapping on it. Or you can even press on a word to get its definition. So if you're lazy or you like skipping entire chapters of books, then that's the product for you is what you're saying. Also, its battery life is excellent. If you read for about a half hour a day with the screen set to 40% of its maximum brightness, you should get about six weeks of battery life out of this. You know how long this thing lasts? Unless there's a fire or a flood or a nuclear event. Forever. It lasts forever. It doesn't need to be charged. You just pick it up and you read it. Speaking of floods, this is the first Kindle that's waterproof. Finally, Amazon made a virtual assistant that infiltrated everybody's homes before it managed to make a waterproof Kindle. Yeah, so you can bring this in the tub or the pool or even the ocean and not worry that if you drop it in, you're going to break it. If you drop that book in the tub, it's ruined. That's not true. I mean, you'd have to shake it out a bit and let it air dry. And it'd probably be pretty wrinkled, but it's readable. It's totally fine. It's fine. And this Kindle supports Audible, so you can pair it with Bluetooth headphones and have your books read aloud to you. Oh, for f*** sake, just get a tablet then. Look, I know people really like their Kindles and they're great for some things, but I just prefer actual books. I dog hear pages, you know, and I love when you can see what someone else is reading and not just a leather-bound gadget. That moment when you're on the train and you look across the aisle and your eyes meet across the top of a page. You sound like an unhinged Craigslist ad. Okay, well look, people don't collect Kindles, they collect books. They don't buy Kindle cases, they invest in bookcases. And when I'm done, I can share these books with all of my friends, which is more than you can do because of VRM. Yeah, but the same modern technology means that I have access to all the same books that you do, but in seconds, not days. Also, when I go on vacation, my carry-on bag is a lot lighter than yours. I don't mind slow shipping. I mean, with Amazon Prime, it's usually more like a couple days and these arrive. Wait, so you're ordering all of your books off of Amazon? No. I mean, some of them. A lot. Most of them? So we're both just giving all of our money to Amazon. Did I mention that I only buy used books? This one is waterproof. It's only- It's- fuck. That's the- I forgot what I was gonna say because I improvised. Should we do that over again? Let's do it one more time.

Hello and welcome to Circuit Breaker, the Verge's live gadget show. I'm Neal I. Patel, I'm the editor of The Verge. This is Paul Miller. We're here again. It's happening to you one more time. Hi, Mr. I. We actually have a huge show today. We've got a bunch of crazy Android phones from China, all the flagships, including the Mi Mix 2, which you can't buy here. So we're going to check that out. We've got a great Ask Circuit Breaker about the future of Google, which is going to be really interesting. The last segment of the show, I'm super excited about. We're bringing back emotional tech support. Yeah. So we probably can't help you with your tech problems, but Ashley's going to be here. And you can call us. That number up, it's 1-844-4EMOTION. And we'll just be there with you. Commiserate with you, I think, mostly. Yeah. So start calling. That's the last segment of the show. We're not going to get through it for a little bit. So call 1-844-4EMOTION. We'll do emotional tech support. But we're going to start with Haim and Android P. You've got to load it. This is what, a first gen Pixel? It's a first gen Pixel. We have the first early developer preview, which launched last week. It's loaded on here. It's a very early preview. If you're not a developer and you don't have like a spare device installed on, don't install this on your main phone. Yeah. One, there's nothing cool enough on here that's worth the hassle. And two, it's really unstable. I just like that there's a notch on this phone right now. So yeah, that is one of the big things you can do is simulate a notch. No longer do you have to use an Android device. Or like a piece of black tape. Yeah. So at MWC, which was just a couple weeks ago, we saw a whole bunch of new phones. I think Vlad wrote an article for us, bad iPhone notches are happening to good Android phones because the software so far is not ready for notches. So there is aping Apple with a notch. The hardware manufacturers are aping Apple, but Android is just like a mess because of these notches. Android P is going to make Android ready for the notch. You can actually see if you add the notch or take it away, it'll actually change how big this bar is on top. Android will be able to dynamically adjust itself for notches. There's some other UI stuff. The clock has moved over to the top left from the top right where it used to be. It handles notifications differently. Instead of getting this nice string of icons going across, it will only display four. But yeah, notches will work better. So the whole point of this is not that Android will automatically, because you can see it's just a software notch. This is for developers who are going to build for Android P so they can simulate a notch to see how their apps are going to... Exactly. Because right now the only things that run the Android P preview are pixels and pixels don't have notches, and if you want to test Android P on a hardware device with a notch, you need to do this. It's horrible. Yeah. The other new thing is... But you can change the look of that notch. Android phones have all kinds of different notches. You can actually change your simulated notch based on... I want to get 10 minutes of solid... Notch simulation. Notch simulation coverage. This is why we do a live show. This is why this is a live show. Yeah, you can actually not only change... These are in developer options. Yeah, this is in developer options. Right now the chat is just trying to guess what the P is going to stand for. My money is on Popsicle personally. Popsicle, we got Pi. Can we look at these different... Look at these actual different options. So you got... Wait, wait, wait. Just pull it up. This is very much an essential phone. This is like your essential phone. There's narrow display cutout, tall display cutout, wide display cutout. That's what they're calling it. So this is like you're building an app. What's it going to look like on the essential phone? And then you just ruin your own phone a little bit and you're good to go. Yeah, because you want to make sure that you're avoiding putting any crucial UI stuff up there. We got a peppermint guess here. Oh, peppermint's not bad. Yeah. There are a lot more options with P than with O. When we were doing the O guessing, we were just scraping the bottom of the barrel. It's like Google's either paying Oreo or nothing. P is for possibilities. Oh my God, Paul. All right. So we also have some hints of what might be some new UI. So if you look closely at the dock, the dock actually looks a little different. There's some rounded corners over here. The color is a little different to make it stand out more. The notification menu is very different. That's very Apple. It's very Apple. So is this the Android? You want to see very Apple is these very Apple rounded notification buttons. And then you can kind of tap on them. Is that very Apple? Pull it down. This is exactly how an iPhone notification works. This is very similar to what- Look, I'm all in favor of that. That pull down to quick reply is a great idea on the iPhone. Is this the Pixel version of Android that we're looking at or the stock Android? Because the Pixel version has diverged from what I think of as stock Android. We also don't know because the only devices that the P preview can run on are Pixels. So it could just be that this is what the Pixel one looks like. It could be that none of this is coming to any other versions. It could just be that this is early stuff and Google hasn't decided. It could be that there's a massive white rounded bubble overhaul of Android P and Google just isn't ready to show that off yet. Yeah. And there's a bunch of security stuff on the right. So the biggest thing on the security side is that Google's revoking the ability of apps that are no longer of apps that are idle to have access to the mic and camera, which is basically if you're someone who believes that Facebook is secretly listening to you and spying on all your conversations- Go back and forth on it. Lately I'm yes. So this should hopefully squish that rumor once and for all. And then you buy a Google Home Mini and just let Google Home do the- Google wants to be the only one that listens to you. That's right. Yeah. All right. So that's Android P. It's super early with Android P. Like Haim said, you can get it right now and put it on a Pixel if you have one, but you shouldn't on your primary. There's a long list of changes there, like API changes. This is something that a developer can call from Google software to enhance their apps. Yeah, so their apps are ready. So their apps are ready so that when they launch P, there's a bunch of P in all the apps. Yeah, for all the phones that will run Android P when it launches. Oh, yeah. All right. We'll get to that. All right. Haim, you've got another thing for us. It's a real P-themed show. P-themed show. Tomorrow is Pi Day. Tomorrow is Pi Day. 314. 314. So in honor of that, we have a Raspberry Pi. And I will say this to the audience. They won't tell me what's about to happen. I was made to leave the room during rehearsal. I was not shown the rundown. I don't know what Haim is about to do. And I'm very excited. So we have here, Paul can... So we're like, I basically want people to understand what is so cool about the Raspberry Pi. And I think it can be a little intimidating for people because they see exposed circuitry and like, well, that's not for me. But it's a $35 Linux computer that you can do cool hardware projects. So we're like, what's a cool hardware project? We sit right next to Ashley Carman, who has a wonderful podcast called Why'd You Push That Button. So we made a Why'd You Push That Button button. Okay. What does it do? Does it just entice you to push the button? Well, you're about to find out. I'll just see. All right. All right. Basically, if everything goes according to plan, you will push this button and you will hear the word why. All right. I'm ready. If everything doesn't go according to plan, you'll learn a lot about the Raspberry Pi in the process. It will light on fire and kill us all. All right. Let's see this. So let's just walk through what we have here. First of all, Raspberry Pi, Linux computer, everything's just kind of running off this tiny micro SD card is the whole operating system. So when you buy a Pi, it's like $35 or like you get a kit for a little bit more so you can get a case and stuff. And it will come typically with an SD card that has Linux pre-installed. So all you do is you literally plug it in the USB power, boot up, plug in, HDMI, plug in, mouse and keyboard, and you have a completely working computer. Wow. Is this the newest one? So this is the generation two. This is an older. So it's a little slower, but for the purposes of what we're doing, and that's one of the beauty of this is that for the purposes, it can handle really low power tests really well. So if you're just looking for like a computer to live in a hardware project, it's great for that. Yeah. So the computer breaker stuff that we've done, like when we built the smart mirror, the photo booth, those are all living off of Raspberry Pi because it's a great cheap way to get a computer that can run advanced code without necessarily needing to spend hundreds of dollars on building a small Windows computer. And if you want a really simple computer, there's the Pi Zero. This is what I built my wearable computer out of. Pi Zero is a slower processor, like smaller and fewer plugs, but it's a very similar concept. But what makes the Pi different than your average computer is these pins, which I will be honest with you, I've found very intimidating and never really did anything with until Pi taught me about those. Can you explain these pins? These are the GPIO pins. So these are input and output pins that you can use to easily hook up different hardware devices to a Pi. And combined with the fact that the Pi runs open source software, it makes it very easy to quickly add new hardware to your Pi, new hardware accessories, and configure software to do stuff with them. So like when we built our own DIY Amazon Echo, we plugged in a mic and light relay that was able to just add super good beamforming microphones to the Pi and a light ring for the Alexa part. So today we're actually going to plug in this giant red button and set that up. This is comically huge. So there's two parts to this button. So these two pins on the side are for the LED that will make it light up. And then these are for input output. So we're going to hook up this over here to this is going to go to power. If you're doing this at home, you'll note that we just have a bunch of exposed wires here. Sure do. Don't do that. It's low voltage, you're gonna be fine. It's low voltage, we'll be fine. If you're doing this at home. Famous last words, man. If you're doing this at home, get... We've crossed two of the wires. Don't worry about it. If you're doing this at home, you should get proper clips. They make them that attach. This is why we do it live so that when we do kill ourselves, there's evidence. So we're plugging into actually we're plugging in this one's going to power and then this other this blue wire is going to grounds to complete the circuit. And one simple way to think of it is the Pi is wired up so that you can like tell the Pi, hey, complete this circuit between these two bands. Or the Pi could be like, hey, tell me if this circuit is completed between these two bands. I'm just making a face. Well, it should have turned on and it didn't. So I'm actually going to duck under here and consult my handy. We could show this. We don't have to be secretive. So this is this is the pin diagram. So this shows what all the pins do. There's obviously a lot of things here. What are you looking for right now? I'm just making sure that this is hooked up. So this should be hooked up to power and it's not because it's hooked up to ground. So I'm just gonna move everything over. I did this during rehearsal too. And I promised I was not going to make that mistake live. The other thing that's nice, there are alternatives to the Pi. There's like the BeagleBone. There's a lot of fun tiny computers. And if you know what you're doing, it's flickering. So you can see it's live? Yeah. All right. All right. So this is so we found this Pi in Paul's desk. It is a little broken. If you nudge that sounds like something Paul has. If you nudge the power cable, it immediately reboots. Most Raspberry Pis don't do that. But ours is special. This is like maximum pressure situation. All right. So then we're going to hook this up. This is what this show is for. It's basically Mission Impossible-ing a Pi right now. Again, the amount of explosion talk that's just sort of lightly weaving its way through the segment is very disturbing. I don't think we'll explode. One thing I like, everything is back up. The Pi is back up. And our button is wired up. OK. So Paul, what happens on the Pi? So as you can see over here, you just rebooted it. I rebooted it again, but now I'm not going to touch it. So Paul, did you have to write code? If you look over here, you can see the Pi is booting Linux. Yeah. And it boots pretty fast. That's a nice thing. It's all running flash memory. So here's the important thing about the Pi and why the Pi is so special. It is so popular that everything that you want to do or almost everything you want to do has already been written for you. So we basically copy and pasted some code, and we got it to work. That's exactly what I'm going to show you right now. So let's pull up. The other nice thing is if you've ever used Python, Python is so, so difficult to install on a machine, and it comes pre-installed on both Python 2 and 3. So here's our code. I'll run it, and then I'll explain what's happening. So let's run. It says it's ready. All right. You want to push the button? I'm super ready. We need sound. Go ahead. Push the button. See what happens. Probably nothing's going to happen. Push the button. Oh, hey, look at that. It says it's playing, but... Look at that headphone jack. It has... Yeah. It's playing. It has... Yeah. Perfect. 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. Okay. Come standard. Be careful. Okay, so now... Why? Push it again. Why? Push it again. Why? Wait, so you just... It's randomly playing a sample? Yeah, so I'll show you the code here. Why? So let's walk through the code. Can I bring this to meetings? Absolutely. This is awesome. I want to show you the code, Neelay. Damn it, Paul. Okay. You can't do this to me. This is too much for me. Why? I'm turning off the speaker, Neelay. Damn it. Okay. I'm going to teach you how to code. I don't want your job to be taken by robots. I told you about this. Okay. So this is literally all I do. I know. I know. I've been replaced. Okay. GPS. GPS. GPS. Okay. GPIO, right? Those are these pins that we wired the button into, right? And then this is a sound mixer that we just imported Pygame. So then we set up the pin. We're going to use pin four. And then there's some weird stuff with power that I don't understand, so I just copied and pasted it. Then we take all our sound files out of a folder, and then we wrote this little function where it just randomly chooses among the sound files and plays it. And then we have this thing called add event detect. So we detect if this pin is falling, and then we just run a loop, and then every time we detect this event, we play the sound. So we see it calls back to the play function. So it's called to find a function, and then when it detects the button's been pressed, it plays it. Hi. There we go. Okay. By the way, Haim Lewis in the chat says that's the worst cable joint I've ever seen. He has not seen some of my other cable joints. So we have a special present for you and me. We're going to upgrade the button. Yeah. I mean, now what happens? Well, we're going to plug in a flash drive, and we're going to copy a file off the flash drive. We're definitely going to open it in the file manager. Are you going to use sound files in the file? Oh, yeah. Very exciting. There's a little bit of Airhorn.mp3. This is great. So let's just change the code a little bit. So let's just do... Now it's just going to search the desktop for any mp3 files. Okay. No. You didn't do this for me. Is it ready? I can't scroll down far enough. I don't know if it's ready. Yeah. Any two buttons. All right. I'm super excited. I'm super ready to learn how to code. That's the Raspberry Pi lifestyle. I just wanted people to get a vibe for it. I think it can be really scary, but there's a ton of resources online. Pine has done a bunch of projects. I've done some projects. We have tutorials on the site. It's a fun life. Yeah. You can make an Airhorn button or a Y button. Yeah. I mean, I will say that we talk so much about finished products on the show and apps and services. Just getting in and making your own really helps you understand what's going on. Yeah. And the stuff is cheap and fun. Yeah. It's like infinitely hackable. And tomorrow's Pi Day. Tomorrow's Pi Day. Something will happen. All right. We do a segment every week or lately called Ask Sugar Breaker where you ask us a question and Ashley and Jake answer that question. So let's take it away. Jake. I think you got to push the button one more time. There we go. Thank you for that wonderful intro. Last week we had a really great question come in while we were doing the phone call segment, but we didn't have time to get to it. It's a really big question with a lot to unpack. So we're going to do it now. The question comes from Jackson and it's basically about Google's giant Android ecosystem. And the question is with Google moving toward more closed systems like Android Go and Chromebooks that run Android apps, do we think that Google will eventually phase out Android in favor of something that works better or is Android just too big now if you put back in Pandora's box? This is a really interesting question and the place to start is what exactly it means that Google is partly closed. What is happening? Dieter, I thought you were in Austin. I'm back. This is important. If we're talking about something replacing Android, you have to start with Samsung. All things with Android start with Samsung. Now Samsung is not following the system they're supposed to to update Android. They never release updates. Google releases a new version of a dessert and then gets put on the processor and then the phone maker, they don't do it. So Google created this thing, follow the thread, they created Treble. And Treble is designed to put all of Samsung in this little box right here so that whenever Google wants to update it, they can. But really if you're talking about Android updates, don't look at the big updates. Don't look at this. Follow the thread to here, Google Play. Google Play is where all the really important stuff happens in Android. That's where Chrome gets updated, it's where apps get updated individually. It all just happens on its own. And so really you shouldn't be worried about do you have Android P, you should be worried you have Google Play apps version 72 or whatever. But meanwhile, they know this is happening but they also know that in order to make this work they have to have more phones to support it so they have released Android Go which is the latest version of Android One. Android One still exists but Android Go is another way that other manufacturers like Nokia can make Android phones. So that's really big in India but it's not so big in China because China doesn't use Google Play. And so there's other things that are going on here to pay attention to. Remember this, follow the thread, there's also Chrome OS. What's Chrome OS? It runs Google Chrome but it also runs Android apps through the Google Play Store. So this is going on but we follow the thread and there's something else happening. What is this? This is Fuchsia. Fuchsia is a next generation operating system that Google is developing. Nobody knows what it is, nobody knows what it does but as Paul reminds me all the time, Fuchsia runs on a microkernel. As you know, when kernels get hot, they pop like popcorn. And if you put caramel on popcorn, it's basically a dessert which means that Google could use Treble to make Android P, call it popcorn and then if you just follow what's happening here, Google will have Android, it will have Chrome OS, it will have Fuchsia and all three of them will duke it out. And if you want to know if Android is eventually going to get replaced, you just have to watch this fight. Simple. Did that answer your question, Jake? Did you make this? Oh no, I just have this around all the time. Dieter is here everybody. Hi, Dieter. Where did you come from? I just had my board, I was working on it and I heard the question so I came on. Well thanks everybody. That was Ask Circuit Breaker. If you have questions for us, leave them in the chat and then one of our employees will attack you. That would be great. Thanks Jake and Dieter. All right, Dan, speaking of China. Hey buddy. Yeah. That was quite a performance. I love this so much and I have so many Fuchsia thoughts. Can I tell you a very honest story? It's like a whole thing. Last night Dieter and I were walking to the bar and he just did that for real. He just pulled out his ball of yarn and put it on his board. That was just what we talked about on the way to the bar last night. That's accurate. All right, speaking of China, we've got a bunch of Chinese Android phones here from Chinese vendors. There's some drama happening with this Huawei one in particular. This is the Mi Mix 2, you can't get it here. But tell us what's happening here. Dan's here everybody. Hello. So what's in front of me are three high-end premium phones that are made by companies in China. Two of these you can buy in the US. This is the OnePlus 5T and the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. And then this is the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, which you can't buy in the US, but you can get in a couple other markets across the world. Now Xiaomi says that they are coming to the US by the end of 2019, but they basically said they've been coming to the US for the past five years. So who knows if that'll happen, but that's where it stands today. And what's interesting about these is you kind of get like three different looks at how Chinese manufacturers are approaching software. In terms of hardware, they're all super high-end. They're all like top-of-the-line processors, high-resolution screens, nice well-built designs and everything. And I think they all have like six gigs of RAM or something. And they're all running Android 8.0 underneath all of this. The OnePlus 5T is going to be the most familiar to those of us in the US that might have been using a Pixel or Nexus phone. That looks really familiar. It's kind of like what we would call stock Android for lack of a better word. In what way is it not stock? There are some customizations. They've got like a separate launcher thing here. I don't know if it's enabled right now, but the off-screen has a different display mode. They've got some software in there for their camera and things that aren't like Google-specific. But if you're looking for like the look and feel of what you get on a Pixel, you're pretty close to it with the OnePlus. So how did you get that instead of a Pixel? Well this is $500. There you go. There you go. And you went and visited. You went to China. You visited China. I did, yeah. So OnePlus is actually owned by a larger company called BBK that also owns Oppo and Vivo, a couple other brands that are primarily in Asia. But this is what they do and they focus on one phone a year. This is the 5T, their latest phone. It's actually a very good device. We reviewed it a few months ago and really like it. It's very popular among enthusiasts. A couple of issues with the company in terms of like security and privacy and all these other concerns. But in terms of like hardware, it's pretty solid. And then this is the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. This is kind of like the conversation piece around Chinese phones. This is the bad boy. Yeah. This is the phone. Literally the United States government does not want you to have this phone. The man does not want you to have this phone. You can buy it in the US. You have to order it on lock. You can get it from like Amazon, Best Buy and Huawei directly. But there's no carrier that sells it which is kind of like a big deal. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. Why do they desaturate their buttons at the bottom? I think this is just a theme that those buttons have that kind of color. There's a couple of different themes. So you're getting a look at the software here and it's a little bit of a mess. It's kind of like a – now I can't find the themes. It's kind of like a mixture of iOS and Android with like all of the bad parts, each one. It's kind of gross in my opinion. But you can definitely see where their influence was. I mean that is pure iOS right there. Yeah. A lot of this. And so like by default, right now this is configured to have an app launcher tray but like by default there's no app tray. It's just like iOS with all your apps on the home screen. But you can change like the color of the icons and things like that. I think that's just the theme on this particular one to answer your question, Paul. But this does have like full Google software and Play Store and everything like that. AT&T was originally going to be carrying this but that deal fell apart at the last minute thanks to – Right. So this is the conversation. Like we were at CES this year. We were expecting Huawei to put out this phone on a major US carrier and then it went away and Huawei's CEO got on stage and basically like yelled at everybody like a very emotional raw moment. He said the rest of the world trusts us. One day you will too. So maybe the phone icon is desaturated because Huawei is sad. I think Huawei – so the government basically scuttled AT&T from carrying this phone. Huawei put it out here unlocked anyway. But now the government is also telling consumers not to buy it. Yeah, there's – the heads of FBI and the CIA and other agencies have basically said consumers shouldn't buy Huawei products. And really like I don't think they're really concerned about this phone in particular. They're concerned about Huawei's bigger business which is network infrastructure. And so they don't want the phone to be a gateway for Huawei to sell its network infrastructure to AT&T for when 5G networks roll out. Huawei has a ton of 5G technologies planned. This provides a lot of network infrastructure across the world outside of the U.S. and the U.S. government does not want that to come into the U.S. for fear of providing back doors to the Chinese government because they allege that Huawei has a lot of ties to the Chinese government based on its origins. Well, in theory. That's very true. Look, there's a new head of the CIA today. Maybe she'll change her mind. So the story isn't really about – I mean this phone is kind of like the casualty of it all but there's a bigger piece behind that in that – about the network infrastructure that the government is going after. Tell me about these dual cameras here. So this is a Leica branded dual camera system and so unlike say what we see on the iPhone X or Galaxy S9 Plus, these are not a wide angle and a telephoto lens. It's actually a color camera and a black and white camera. And so it will take the data from both captures, combine them together to allegedly provide more detail and sharper image quality. The image quality is very good out of this. It's not quite as good as what you get from a Pixel or Samsung. Can you just take straight black and white photos? You can. Is that actually a Leica camera or is that just a branding deal? It's a branding deal. I mean Leica will – they'll say that like Leica helps develop it and all that jazz. But you know, Leica makes all of its cameras in Germany. This is not made in Germany. What is going on here? So I think that's – you found one of their customizations which is like a unique lock screen that gives you shortcuts. Wait, can you bring that up again? No. So let's hit the lock screen and then if you drag up from the bottom, you get shortcuts for your calculator or flashlight. So this is like stuck with the whole update problem, right? How often does this get updated? So this is running Android 8.0 right now. Huawei doesn't really do a great job of updating to the newer versions of Android. They'll launch their device on a certain version and then maybe it will get updated. Probably not. At least that's been our experience with the ones available. So what is this very beautiful phone? This is by far one of the most beautiful phones I've ever seen. Yeah, this is a really interesting device. It's a Mi Mix 2. The original Mi Mix from Huawei was one of the first that did this like all edge to edge design. This one is the second version of it so they've kind of like changed a little bit. They've toned it down a little bit but it's made out of ceramic. This is actually not glass, it's ceramic which is pretty wild. And this is kind of like a look at a software that is very popular in Asian markets whereas it is basically nothing like the Android that we're used to from Google and basically looks like iOS. This is about like as close to iOS as you're going to get if you even look at like the multitasking window is like very iOS like. And so you can very tell where their inspiration is. This version does run the Play Store. I think they sell this in India with the Play Store and Singapore outside of China. China does not have the Play Store but you can't buy this in the US yet. So here's the problem with this phone because I would get this phone in a heartbeat. The bezel game is strong. This is I mean it's just a beautiful. Is this camera any good? So you know. The front camera, I don't know if you can see this, is down here. Yeah. It's a little up the nose. No notch. You can see. So we just made the worst trade off ever because this is an LCD right? I believe it's an LCD. It might be an AMOLED but I believe this model is an LCD. So you've got your driver components on here. Yes. But when you can see this on Paul came and flip this around. This is not not super flat. Your thumb is about to get it's just going to happen. So what you're supposed to do. This is true. You're supposed to flip it over. Yeah. Problem solved. I don't know what you're complaining about. I don't know about that. Like that's literally the one thing. So like that's a discussion of like you know dealing with the notch right? Like they could have put it up here and there's been rumors of the next version of this phone where they put to a corner notch that we've seen some images out of China based on that we don't know if that's going to happen or not. Like the camera is up here in the corner and it does like a little corner cut out. By the way I took a black and white photo with this one. I love the black and white side of this. It's pretty cool. Yeah thanks buddy. That's that's how I feel. That's me on the inside. Wait everybody pause your YouTube real quick. Get out of here. That's enough Paul. All right. So this one is obviously popular. People buy it a lot. Is it someone actually in the chat right here. Marineco brought up. Obviously the government is blocking Huawei from doing this. But the government Donald Trump himself put out an executive order preventing Broadcom which is not a Chinese company a Singaporean company but preventing Broadcom from buying Qualcomm which is a U.S. company. Broadcom is going to respond to this by the way by redomiciling to the U.S. and becoming a U.S. company. We'll see if they saga continues. There's like oh there's a lot going on here in terms of particularly Asian companies coming to the U.S. and doing stuff here. So the one company that's not in this conversation right here is ZTE which is one of the larger companies not quite as big as Huawei but getting up to that scale and they provide infrastructure and things like that. And ZTE has had the same type of like government complaints against it but that hasn't stopped it from building a business in the U.S. which is very interesting to me. ZTE sells a lot of mid-range low end phones that are branded by T-Mobile branded by AT&T. They're all sold by the carriers. They don't really have many high end offerings but Huawei hasn't been able to get any of that which has been kind of fascinating to me. Yeah. I mean I think that I just think people care about those mid-range phones right. Those are the classic carrier branding deal where you go and you get some OEM to make you a phone. Yeah. I don't think there's a lot of government interest here. A big high end splashy we're going to market this phone. I think that's I think that's a little bit different in terms of just the options. I still don't understand it. I don't understand it. I mean I'm trying to understand it. What don't you understand? I don't know what specifically Huawei again when you point out ZTE has all the same ties to the Chinese government that Huawei has. What specific evils has Huawei done that we're specifically averting. I feel like it's very vague. So it might be a little a little naive to like ask the government for proof but like they haven't really come forward. It's all the agencies have said they allege these things they suspect these things but there's been no proof provided to the public. I don't I mean like personally for me I'm not taking what the government says as to whether I would use the Huawei phone or not. I'm like looking at it from a very consumer perspective of I wouldn't use this phone because the software is miserable. Like you should buy a different phone because the software is bad. Not because it might be spying on you. Here's a question from Nick. He asks why does China not have the Play Store. This is like a very long and complicated. Go ahead. Well so basically Google doesn't exist in China because all the companies that do exist in China have agreed to give the Chinese government access to their data and Google doesn't has not agreed to that. So Google doesn't exist in China. There's a Play Store. Yeah there's a number of American companies that don't exist in China. So therefore Google's Play Store does not exist in China either. So what's interesting about that is you know company does exist in China is Apple and Apple just agreed to move its iCloud data centers in China for Chinese customers to control a Chinese company. So Apple now contracts out iCloud from a Chinese company to service Chinese users. So moving to China because there are a lot of governmental restrictions on what you can do and a lot of that. The speaker was just like we're done with this. So it's interesting the Chinese government is playing the same game with American companies by requiring access to data. Yeah. The American government is kind of firing back. But I don't. Does that turn on whether you should buy a Huawei phone? Like the CEO's argument to CS and you should go watch this video. He wrote a long article about it. It's on theverge.com. His argument is like we're doing business in Africa. We're doing business in Europe. We're doing business in the Middle East. All of these other countries trust us and we're able to work with them. Well I do think it's interesting that we have so much of a hardware whether or not it's designed in China is built in China. And a lot of the engineering progress is happening in China. There's this total separation when it comes to software. I blame the Chinese government for big. You've not blamed two governments. Censorious. Paul's like I hate the US government. I don't trust them. Here's a free idea for governments. Don't spy on your citizens and don't censor them. You're a beautiful man. Just ideas. I wrote about Stipholid. John in the chat is asking is this Huawei's Kirin processor? Yes. This is using the Huawei I believe it's a Kirin 970 processor and then they like to market this coprocessor that's with it for doing AI processing but they all kind of like have these kind of coprocessors. These two are running Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. This one is just real beautiful. I'm so taken with this one. All right last question. Would you actually get one of these if you live in the States over a Pixel or an S9 or whatever? I think there's a really compelling argument for the OnePlus 5T in that it's only 500 bucks. Pixel 2 XL which is roughly the same size screen and everything is running 850 I believe last I checked. S9 Plus is in that neighborhood as well. So you do save a ton of money by going with the OnePlus. The thing that you're going to give up is support and local like if you drop and break the screen on this OnePlus is based in Shenzhen. There's no local place to go to get this fixed. Yeah you have free tickets. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that might be a concern. As I mentioned earlier OnePlus has had some issues late last year they had a security breach on the website where a bunch of I believe 40,000 customers credit card info was stolen. So they had to like shut that down and switch to PayPal. So they are not without issue which maybe gives you a reason to think twice. But I think the main reason someone would go with a OnePlus over a Pixel or over any other phone is going to be its cost. And what's the reason that Xiaomi doesn't come to the US? That's a good question. I believe the company's line is that they want to provide the best experience they can and they're trying to figure out the US market and how to enter it and everything. It could be you know there's been speculation for years that it's patent and IP issues given how similar it looks to maybe Apple products. Was it the original Xiaomi like originally made a splash by just completely ripping out the iPhone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they've diverged obviously you know they've got their own ID now and like they're doing their own thing but the software is still very similar. The packaging is very similar. There's a lot of like similarities in how they present the company that you know maybe Apple might have issues with. I honestly think they don't have a great strategy for breaking into the US. And because the US is a very tough market if you are going to make any money and be any successful at all you really have to work with carriers which means that you have to go through the carrier certification processes and everything which are very difficult and very hard to do. So carrier certification processes that's where I end this segment. It's hard. That's the black hole of all interests. For example, OnePlus doesn't go through that. And so like you can't get a OnePlus phone that runs on Verizon because there's no OnePlus phone that will go through past Verizon security or certification services. So it's tough. It's hard out there. Thank you, Dan. Thank you. I'm going to take this phone from you. This one is mine now. Paul, you did a thing again. Yes. This is the second episode of Explain Yourself with your friend Paul Miller. Okay. After this we're going to take your calls for emotional tech support. Ashley is going to join us. So call 1-844-4EMOTION if you want to just bear your soul to us about what's happening in tech. But first let's watch whatever Paul did. Do you have a car? I do not. Do you have a car? No. Do you have a car? Not really. Oh, God, no. Do you have a car? Yes. How many cars? One car. Do you have a flying car? I do not have a flying car. Keep dreaming. Do you have a car? I do. Do you have a flying car? No. Do you wish you had a flying car? Of course. Do you have any flying cars though? I do not have any flying cars. Keep dreaming, buddy. Andy, looking so smug, writing about cars all the time. You're going to have to explain yourself. This sounds way more threatening than I intend to. Andrew Hawkins wrote two stories this week, or last week. The Pal5 Liberty claims to be the first commercially available flying car. This is very exciting, I think, uneducated about cars that I am. But here's another article. People are still trying to make cars that morph into helicopters. Well, this sounds like we're like just super over it and bored of flying cars. Which is it? Andy? Andy, hello. Oh, it's Paul. Hey, it's me, Paul. Hey, Paul, nice to see you. How's it going? It's going great. I'm going to have you do something that I call explain yourself. All right. Did you go to a car show last week? I didn't. Our colleague Vlad Savov went in Geneva. So you can say everything you know about these are just, this is just hearsay. Yeah, it's circumstantial. There's flying cars at the car show. There are, yes. So that's true? It is true, yes. There were a couple of so-called flying cars at the Geneva Motor Show. Okay, so flying cars are real? It depends on what you consider to be a flying car. Are they commercially viable? Also depends on what you consider to be commercially viable. There's a lot of different, lots of speculation around it, but there are a lot of people that are pursuing flying cars as a commercial product. All right, so this is where we get to explain yourself time. I feel like one of the articles made it sound like flying cars are boring and we're over them. And the other one is like, here's a flying car that you could buy and I'm not bored of it. I'm not over it. Explain yourself. Okay, so I think the one that is available to buy is called the PAL5 Liberty. And it's actually kind of a crossover between a helicopter or maybe a gyrocopter and a small smart style vehicle. And the company that makes it, it's based in the Netherlands and they say that you can start buying them by the end of the year. So if you were so inclined as to risk your life and want to get behind the wheel of one of these things and you have a pilot's license as well as a driver's license, you're welcome to do that. How much? I think it's probably in the six figure range. I was hearing somewhere around $300,000. Okay, and then the other article is like, flying cars, bored of this. So that's probably some of my skepticism leeching into the coverage and it's because I've been covering this issue for over a year now. And there are a lot of companies that are spending a lot of money claiming that flying cars are going to be a real product. I have some serious doubts. I wonder whether or not this is going to be anything outside of like very rich people buying these things and using them. And there's lots of people like Uber thinks it's going to be actually like a flying taxi service available in cities. They're setting it up in Dallas and in LA and Dubai. So we'll have to see. It's just like the technology isn't really there yet as far as making them all electric and able to fly. So there's a lot of pieces that still need to fall into place. If you had to guess which flying car will Paul Miller, a member of the firmly entrenched in the middle class, which one will I get into and will take me somewhere? If everything goes according to plan and this technology actually comes to fruition and there's actually flying taxis available in cities, I would say you're most likely to be in an Uber flying taxi more so than anywhere else because they seem to have the vision and the money to actually scale the product and make it available in cities. Thank you, Andrew. Your answers are very good. Thank you, Paul. I'm happy to do it. Well, that was Explain Yourself with your friend Paul Miller. I think we really got to the bottom of this one. Flying cars soon. You heard it here first. We're back. Paul, you're really onto something there. Acousting our reporters in the newsroom. Andy was very helpful. I learned a lot, I feel like. All right. Ashley, you're here. What's up? Hey. How are you? So you guys actually started Emotional Tech Support ages ago. It's back in the... If anybody remembers Facebook Live. Back in the Facebook Live. We're deep in the archives on our Facebook page. Couple of years ago. Look back, I had short hair back then. Yeah. All right. Tell the people what to expect. The number should be up on the screen. You really, really underwent hair transformation. I really. Well, both of you. Yeah, you're absolutely right. One of you did better than me. Emotional Tech Support. That's very true. Emotional Tech Support is you call us with your problems that can be about technology, but we're not going to fix your technology problem, but we hear you and we feel your pain. Is that a good... Yeah. We're not tech support, so we can't... We will say maybe try turning it off. Turn it back on. That might help. Try reinstalling your printer drivers. Yeah. But that's about as far as we're going to go. So let me offer you this one. We'll take some calls. So we're having a baby. Yes. That's great. Baby needs a room in my house. I've heard this about babies. It's important. We have to find space for her. So I had to totally throw out my office. That's the baby's room now. So I got rid of all the furniture, all the shelves, and I've just been throwing away gadgets and recycling them and throwing away wires. And Becky says that every time I throw one away, I take a wire and put it in the bag, I make soft moaning sounds. Because they're all little adventures. I remember when I plugged that into that one thing. Yeah. Remember when Firewire 400 was a really important piece of my life? How far back do these gadgets go? I mean, I threw away a SCSI cable, like an old... Was that for a scanner? No, it was for a hard drive. Ooh, a SCSI. An ancient... It's like that part of you that really feels like, what if I need this cable again and then I'll be a hero? The everyday... Isn't that what you were saving them for though? That's not why you were saving the cables. I just think the moments for you to be a hero in your life are very limited. If you can have a drawer of heroism, then you should have that in your life. Cable heroism. They're not just signifiers of good times gone by. It's not like I looked at them. I just had three drawers full of cables and gadgets. I brought a bunch of them around the set now. If anybody wants my Canon PowerShot S100, by all means let me know. It's sitting right over here. All right, we have our first call. Ken has an iPhone future expectations question. This is going to be emotional. Ken, what's up, man? All right, so iPhone 10, decent screen, not just terrible. Price is horrible. iPhone 10 Plus expected. What are we going to see that'll validate an increased price, the same shabby screen and overall just kind of boring? I mean, iOS is great. It's reliable. It's fast. It works with the hardware. The chipset, all that's good, but it's boring. I have this- Jenna, I want to just laser in on the emotion here. Boredom. Yeah. Frustration. Are you more frustrated? I am frustrated. I am underwhelmed and I'm overcharged. Wow. Wow. A lot of adjectives. So here's what I think you should do. I think you should find another gadget that isn't like where the market isn't quite as developed and fall into that. I think the phone market, we've had a solid decade of like super intense phone market, crazy competition. And now, by the way, I disagree with you that the screen is shabby. The notch is annoying. The screen is beautiful, except for the notch. But we've had a decade of like phone hyper enthusiasm. And now you want that to be like- So you're saying Kin should find a different industry that has that rapid iteration to focus on so he can enjoy progress again. So you can like feel fine where there's not going to be a winner. What do you think, Ashley? Well, I'm going through the same issue. Smart home accessories. No, man. Not smart home. I love smart home accessories. Like I have a lot of them. There's no fire in that industry. Maybe a drone. Yeah, a drone could be fun. Yeah, like back a small drone company that isn't going to win. You know, and like be really into that. I've gotten into modular synthesis a little bit. Been following that a little bit of the synthesizer world. But what were you saying? I'm in the exact same place as Kin where I need to replace my phone and I'm looking at the iPhone 10 and it still runs the same iOS I have on my 6S. So the software isn't a big differentiator for me. I see the notch. I see the big screen. And I'm like that price tag is insane. And I'm going through the same thing where I'm like, what do I do? I like it, but not that much. You feel like for a thousand dollars, it should change my life. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. We can find one for you. What's the thing that grabs you? And I know you're going to say smart home stand, but I'm telling you, once you install like the door lock and you're like, great, you got to you need an upgrade cycle. What are your dreams? What are my dreams? Listen, I'm big into phones. I have the Mavic Pro, which is more than I need. Honestly, the new DJI drones are good. They're great for kids. Mavic Pro is good. I got the Pixel 2X all over there. I got the S8 Plus. I got the Sony. I have the iPhone X. I'm all over the place because I'm looking for that. You know what happened? Remember when the Note 7 came out and there was finally a breath of fresh air and then it had that issue. And then the- Yeah, the breath of fresh air, by the way, was the air from an explosion whooshing by your feet. Yeah, that was smoke. Yeah. It was mostly smoke, but it was fresh air. You mentioned a couple of different products now. It sounds like you're into photography, right? You've got a flying camera. You've got some handheld cameras. Why not go all in- Yeah, do video and photo. Why not go all in on the Canon versus Nikon split or Sony's coming to disrupt them all? You want some deep emotions, get on a camera message board. Go on Nikonfans.com and be like, Canon for life. There is a great theory that I heard that Sony is holding itself back, that it's so far beyond Canon and Nikon that it's just trickling out features. And if they ever try to compete with Sony, Sony will slam down a large set of features. I'm also wondering if instead of boredom, you should try to have gratitude because you're bored, but at least the phones are good enough now where you're not like, this barely works. I'd like this. This is a really actually- Everyone's nicer than us. I should be happy that my current technology is so good that I don't have to upgrade it. Yeah. I think it is boring, but we're at that stage where it's like, well, it works and it's good. All right. Thank you so much, Ken. Thank you, Ken. I appreciate you guys. You guys do great work and I'll talk to you guys later. I'm going to wait. I don't know. I'm going to go grab the LGD30 and play with the walker. We just gave you all this advice about another thing, man. You got to stop the cycle. All right. Christian in the chat is asking, how do we feel about Apple versus Android, which is basically the same question, but I think the emotional tenor of that question is different. Right here. What do you feel about Apple versus Android? What are your emotions? We have a follow up in the chat here. What did it say? Someone suggested, Ashley, oh yeah, John suggested that you need to go to Android. I feel like there's a lot. I mean, I think- There's a lot tied up. I feel like a lot of us who are tied to the iPhone are tied into iMessage and there's so many emotions tied up with iMessage because all your friends are there. The group texts are way better on iMessage. That green bubble. Yeah. I will say I've been thinking about Android a lot because I feel like Android matches more of my core principles. Not Google as a company, but Android as software that's relatively open source, relatively customizable and hackable. So I've been really thinking about switching to that. The blue text messages in my family group chat specifically is where it's most important, was holding me to iOS, but my brother just switched to a dumb phone. He's going like Luddite. So he's already broken the family group text. So now I'm not the bad guy. I can switch to Android, go green text and still be better. So what are you guys doing about... So there's just no more group text. Your brother just killed the group text. Yeah, no, he's just dead to us. He's over. That's how I feel about Android phones. Every time I see Deidre on one of his cool Android phones, I just feel hard. We had to move the whole family to Google Photos. You can run Linux on your Android phone. You can do so many interesting different weird things with Android phones. All right. By the way, the number is 1-844-4EMOTION. Just call us with your emotional problems. Creighton, do we have somebody else on the line? I suspect that we do. Creighton, by the way, is back there screening away. So let's see what's going on. But Paul, you also probably have some emotions. All right. Creighton says we have one coming through. Oh, okay. I can tell almost before... His name apparently is Mr. Standby. I can tell a real quick story. My roommate has discovered that he can just yell things at Alexa and set alarms for me. Yeah. So it's like, Alexa, wake me up at 5 AM. Alexa, wake me up at 4 AM. We set like 10 alarms last night for me. Did it work? Well, yeah. Did you wake up? He woke up. All right. We have Sohan on the line. I'm being told this is an iPad question. Bring him on. Sohan, what you got? Okay. So it's been a couple months since iOS 11 came out, and I want to buy an iPad now. I've made that leap to leave macOS behind. I'm a student, so I don't really need a whole lot. And I don't know if I want to wait until WWDC to see if there's going to be a new iPad this year with like Face ID or Animoji, or if I should just buy the current iPad Pro. I mean, you've had a couple... There's rumors out there that a new one's coming in March. Let me ask you this. Why did you decide to leave macOS behind? I just don't like carrying around my 15-inch MacBook Pro. I have the Touch Bar version, and I feel like I don't need- Oh, I like that emotion. I don't need enough computing power to justify carrying four pounds of stuff in my backpack. Have you tried- I'm just lazy. Have you tried full-time iPad life? I have. I have. My mom has an iPad. Okay. All right. It's kind of- I have some general recommendations. Is it Mac Rumors that has the buying guide? Yeah. If you just Google it, there's a buying guide that you can search for, and it covers all Apple products and tells you when they typically get refreshed, and so it will kind of tell you like, this is a good time to buy or this is a bad time to buy. My general tech advice has always been, always wait until you need something. I will say, this chat is going crazy with Windows computer recommendations. You want to leave Mac OS behind. Tell me about that feeling. You're like, I just don't need this. I don't want it. Do you want to simplify? No. I'll still use Mac OS at home. I just don't need it for a portable type of device. I'll still use it when I'm at home, and I'm locked into iMessage, part of the Apple ecosystem, so can't leave that behind. You got the best of both worlds. You got everything. So you don't need an iPad for much. How much do you want to spend in your heart? Trying to make it emotional. In my heart? Yeah. In your heart, what's the biggest number that you'll spend? Probably like $700, $800, around there. Get a very good iPad for that. One nice thing is that as these new iPads come out, I don't know. Look at you. You're thinking about buying an iPad right now. No, no, no. I just bought an iPad. Here's... There it is. And I feel terrible about it. It's so expensive. It's so much money. The jump from $650 for the 64 gigabyte iPad Pro up to the 256 gigabyte. That's a $150 jump for an SD card worth of storage. Pissed me off. I got open box discount at Best Buy, so I'm doing okay. I feel sick to my stomach that I spent that much on a tablet computer though. When you can buy an Android tablet for like $100 or $200. But it's going to enrich your life. I hope so. What I hope you find in the iPad life is simplicity and streamlined thought process. And no back strain. Single tasking and no back strain. And dongles. Hundreds of thousands of dongles. All right, so I hope you figure it out, man. I cannot for the life... I think my emotion when I think about iPads is just confusion. Have you ever tried to work full time on an iPad? No. No, no, no. I need a laptop. I think phone and laptop combo is the strongest. That's the move. Phone and laptop. We have lots of tablet, full on tablet people here. All right, we have one more question. Austin has a question about Bluetooth and Android. And I feel like all Bluetooth questions I defer to Ashley Carman. So Austin, tell us what's going on. I'm a proud Android user. I love my Pixel 2. I also loved my Jaybird X2s until they died about two days ago. And they're still not a good replacement for them. You know, Apple, they have their positives are great. I mean, they don't fit in my ear, so I don't bother. But Pixel Buds, they just didn't live up. And I don't want to spend $160 on something that doesn't live up. I'm waiting for a good option. I don't want to know when that is. It makes me sad. Why did your Jaybirds die? They just died. They're gone. Yeah, I've had them for three years now. So maybe it was just their time. Do you feel like you've mourned your Jaybirds? No, no, no. Now my existence is pained because I spent $25 on a replacement and those hurt. And you're not really into living the USB-C headphone dongle life. Because the Pixel 2 dongle is just gross. Well, I mean, that's fine when I'm just sitting at my desk. But if I'm out running, I don't want to be tethered to a cord. It's going to fall out of my ears. And you want in-ears. I like to be able to crane my neck around in every direction. Have you heard of the Neck Speaker? Why can't you buy replacement ones? I'm confused why you can't just buy new ones. I mean, I could, but for the $50 that I would spend on a replacement pair of X2s, I might as well try to find that good option that has 5.0 and a quick pairing feature similar to the Pixel Buds and even better connectivity. But it doesn't seem to exist. Yeah, Qualcomm announced a new chip. So we're basically at CES. So we're still waiting for manufacturers to ship stuff with that new chip. The spec for audio over 5.0 isn't even out, isn't even ready yet. I feel like what I did is I got some Beats. And I'm using them with the iOS, obviously. But I got basically a relatively cheap pair. Like $99 Beats one. And I just don't listen to music. Sorry, Beats X, that's what I meant. They have the W one. Yes, correct. Yeah, just like basically, this is a time where music is not for me. This is a time where only spoken word until technology catches up with music from phones again. Basically, Austin, I think what I want to tell everyone is have courage. Because removing these headphone jacks was a great idea that everyone supports. And this problem never happens to anyone. No, I don't have any thoughts about that. I think Austin is telling me that laughter is the best medicine. Here, I'll tell you right now, you can listen to the Vergecast. Ashley's got a great show called Why'd You Push That Button. We're making spoken word content. But I will say about your J-birds, three years for a gadget, that's a lot. Especially a gadget that you work as hard as it. And it sounds like it worked well for you and that you're having trouble replacing. So just make sure you take a little bit of time and think about the loss in the end of that time. Or buy something cheap and wait for something to come out, which is always better. Find a store with a good return policy. All right, we got one last question. Thank you so much, Austin. I appreciate that one. Thanks, guys. There's nothing that riles us up more than headphones. I got to be honest with you. David has feelings about Google's messaging strategy. Hey, buddy. How are you? Doing well. How are you guys? All right. Tell us. Tell us your emotions. So my question for you guys is how much longer should I stick with Google Voice? I've been using it for four or five years now. And mostly that's because I work from home. It's really convenient to answer phone calls on the computer as well as send text messages. But that Hangouts experience is just getting worse and worse and worse. It's really terrible on Windows now. And it is not a fun app to use on Android. Google's been talking about messaging and their ideas for years and years. But we're not seeing it come to fruition. Should I stick with it? Should I finally give up and change my number? What do you guys think? Man, that's tough. That's like that is maybe the hardest, most emotionally because changing your phone number is a lot. That's a lot. But Google Voice is like abandonware at this point as near as I can tell. So I like I don't know what you use. Do you use the voice features of Google Voice? Do you have it like routed around to different phones? I don't use that. I have it come through to my personal phone, but I mostly use it for kind of answering phone calls on the on the computer or talking or sending text messages on the computer. It's nice to kind of have two numbers sometimes. But you know, at the end of the day, in voices, the voice app has started to see some updates. But Google keeps talking about how they're going to, you know, figure out voice and messaging and all of that. And it just doesn't seem like they they're going anywhere with it. If you're not careful, Deeter is going to wheel in another conspiracy board. This is all he thinks. Here's I'm going to I'm going to make a suggestion. Are you in you're on an Android phone, you're on an iPhone. I am. Wait, I use a Google Pixel XL. Here's my recommendation. It's going to be wild. You're not gonna like it. The chat's gonna hate it. Throw everything away fully into the iMessage ecosystem. No, don't do it. Just be bold, man. Stay strong. Stay strong. That list of things you said you do is the reason I can't switch away from iOS. Because I can text from my computer because the voicemail are not great, but they work. Other people have it. The apps are everywhere, at least on Apple's ecosystem. That lock in is strong. What you are feeling is the pain of having a neglectful jailer. I've been in this jail, I just wish you would pay attention to me. I'm distracted. Yeah, it's like I'm in your prison, man. Come on. Right. I think I have three Google Home devices spread throughout our house. And so it's like, I want to I want to live in Google's ecosystem. They just sometimes make it harder than it should be, maybe. You are urging Dieter to break into this. I don't think that there is another ecosystem that lets you do voice plus messaging the way that Google Voice did and the way that kind of Apple's thing does. Because Apple will let you take it from home. Because what I would recommend is to look around for like a beautiful prison that really wants you there. And that does seem to be Apple. I got you. I got you. Now, I think this is the question, in addition to how the hell do headphones work now, but the question of like the next moment in technology is, is there going to be a messaging service in the United States? Because outside United States, you have WhatsApp and LINE and Telegram. But in the United States, will there be another cohesive messaging service that can rival what Apple's doing with iMessage? The answer is near as I can tell is no. I feel like Facebook Messenger is... Do you use Messenger? No, I don't use Facebook. But I know a lot of people do. I could like hit you up on Instagram though. Instagram DMs. Yeah. Like I almost feel like there is an emerging usage pattern that is basically like find people where they spend their time. Like if someone's a Snap user, like message them on Snapchat. If they use Instagram a lot, message them on Instagram. They're a green bubble on Facebook, message them on Facebook. Because that means they're active. They like to message you and I message... Sorry. Another choice for you, David, is to refuse to be in any one prison. And just go to everyone else's prison. I appreciate David's loyalty. So David, I think you should feel proud of how loyal you are. You really didn't give up when you could have given up. Google lets you down. You don't let Google down. That's for sure. Exactly. All right. They're not rewarding that loyalty, but thanks guys. Thanks, David. I appreciate it, man. We got to wrap up. We have one more here. I'm just going to put this out there. Enough with Android and Apple. Let's talk about Microsoft. Microsoft's been rolling stuff to Android after the death of Windows phones. I mean, I'm sorry that Windows phone is dead, but you got to move on, man. You just got to let it go, Christian. I'm still sad about it. You know what? There is a point of hope. You know, Dieter was talking about Fuchsia in his crazy conspiracy theory board. It's a more modular operating system. And that was what really inspired me about Windows phone is this idea that developers can make small pieces that can be assembled by the operating system into a UI that can be kind of seamless instead of this bouncing in and out of apps for the rest of our lives. Or Windows phone will just come back. You can have hope in your heart. All right. That was Sugar Breaker. Thank you so much for everybody for watching. We brought it up a couple of times, but do listen to Ashley's podcast, when you push that button. Thank you. The episode came out today. Yeah. From South by. Live at South by. That was great. So listen to that. First cast on Thursday. We'll be doing that. It's an audio show. You can't watch that. You can watch the intro. I watched the first cast from South by. I watched the live stream. It's out there. It's out there. You can't hide from me. I tried to hide it. All right. We will be back next week with all sorts of crazy gadgets. Your questions, the chat, the whole thing. Sugar Breaker Live, four o'clock Eastern on Tuesdays. Thank you so much. Thank you to Haim, Dan and Dieter. Thank you especially to Dieter for just having a beautiful, a beautiful mind. But we'll be back next week. We'll see you there. Bye for now. You

A lot of tech companies are working on AR glasses right now and in the early days it kind of feels like everyone's trying to justify why AR glasses should be a thing. For some companies that may mean making sports goggles and for others it may mean making AR glasses for entertainment purposes. For Toshiba, it means basically putting a PC on your face. These are Toshiba's new Dyna Edge AR smart glasses. They start shipping today and they start at $1,900. Toshiba is aiming these at enterprise customers. Think people who work out in the field and might need remote assistance but their hands are tied up so it might not be easy to just use their phone. So this is the display arm of the AR headset. There's a display that I'm looking at right now in my right eye. There's also a camera built in and there's a microphone for voice control but really the majority of everything that's happening is happening on this. This is the Toshiba Dyna Edge Mini Mobile PC. It's running on an Intel Core m5 processor. It's running Windows 10. It has 16 gigabytes of RAM, 512 gigabytes of internal storage. It's basically an entire computer packed into this little thing and this is running all the applications that I'm seeing in my eyes. So this is not the computer here. Some AR headsets that we've seen have been full-fledged face computers. This is really a display set. The glasses also have a swipe panel on the side and you can eventually use your voice to control them but that wasn't working yet when I tried them. I should also mention that even though they're called AR smart glasses this isn't really AR like the kind you've seen lately. It's just a flat display resting in front of your eye. Toshiba says that's because the kind of apps they envision people using with these, whether it's referencing a document or a PDF or making a quick Skype call, doesn't really need volumetric AR. So in this case I'm actually gonna make a phone call to somebody who is, in this case across the room, but imagine it's a remote worker. I'm gonna go into an application. It's called Call the Operator. This is custom Toshiba software built on top of Skype. So basically it's using Skype over Wi-Fi and I'm gonna select that application using the computer. I'm gonna go down. Right now I'm scrolling through a list of names. I'm gonna find Philip and I'm giving him a call. Hi Lauren. Hey Philip, how's it going? It's going okay. So listen I'm having some trouble out in the field here and I wanted to get a second opinion on this thing that I'm working on. What are you seeing right now? Yeah I can see the camera and I can see the guys behind it. Okay. Hi Felicia. Hey Tyler. They're not both guys but that's okay. What's a use case for this beyond just you know troubleshooting a Verge video remotely? A use case is you can show me what you're seeing and I can help you and try to fix it as quickly as possible. So when I first put these on they weren't super comfortable to me and that may be because the display was on my right eye and I'm left eye dominant but even after I switched to the left eye it still didn't feel great to me. Other people at the Verge tried it on they were a little more comfortable for them. One of the good things is that you can adjust the arm that the display is on so you can sort of just twist it or position it in a way that makes sense for you. You can also easily slide the arm into non glass form factors like a safety helmet. So you would just be wearing the helmet the arm would slide in front of you and then you'd have the display and also that kind of stable fitting thing made the display feel a little bit more comfortable. But there is just a learning curve when you first put them on. I mean you're not supposed to look directly at the display the whole time you're wearing them. You're supposed to focus on what you're doing in the real world and then when you need it glance up to the display so you can refer to it. And this way it's not too dissimilar from some very early iterations of AR glasses that we've seen like Google Glass. And it's different from HoloLens because HoloLens really just kind of covers your whole face and even though it's AR or mixed reality makes you feel enveloped in the world around you this doesn't really have that effect. So to call these AR glasses feels like a little bit of a misnomer and the pair I saw wasn't totally production ready. But like I said these are still new and Toshiba plans to run tests with its early customers to improve the glasses. And who knows maybe in the meantime more people will actually grow to love computers on their faces. I'm seeing... I'm not seeing you. How's that happening? You're not supposed to see me. I'm only supposed to see what you're seeing so you can concentrate on your job. Okay so let's do that over again.

You've probably heard that cell phones could cause cancer. Are we developing cancer from cell phones? The World Health Organization labeled phone radiation possibly carcinogenic in 2011, and there was even a big study in 2016 saying that phone radiation gave cancer to a bunch of rats. So what's the deal? Shouldn't we know by now whether carrying a phone at all times is going to kill us? Well, yes and no. Our current understanding of radio waves says that, in theory, phones shouldn't give you cancer. But we're still doing research to find out whether that's true in practice. I asked John Samet, who reviewed all of this data for the World Health Organization, exactly what's going on. The conclusion was that this kind of radiation is a possible cause of cancer. That means that there's some indication of risk, but not enough to put it up to a higher category which would be probable or definite. It also means the agency didn't find there was no risk. The word radiation sounds really scary, but you shouldn't necessarily be scared by it. The FM radio waves your car picks up? That's radiation. Visible light? Radiation. Phone radiation is similar. The problem is, there's a second type of radiation that actually does harm people. That's what's known as ionizing radiation. So things like x-rays and some ultraviolet light. Ionizing radiation can damage your DNA, which can eventually lead to cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Phone radiation is non-ionizing, meaning it does not damage your DNA. So if it does cause cancer, it's through some mechanism we don't know about yet. Here the evidence is mixed. If you look at the studies done of cell phone users, they provide an inconclusive answer with some saying possible risk and some saying can't find a risk. I'm not saying there's a public health crisis by any means, but I'm saying there's a very widespread exposure in our society and we should just make sure we understand it. Okay, so what happened with the rats in that study that got cancer after being exposed to phone radiation? Do they prove there's a link? That study from the National Toxicology Program found that the more radio waves rats were hit with, the more incidents of heart and brain cancer turned up. The American Cancer Society said it was a good study that shouldn't be ignored. But there were a lot of quirks in its findings. For instance, the rats that got cancer actually lived longer than the ones that didn't. Also, rats aren't people. More findings came out in early 2018. The Food and Drug Administration said evidence showing a link between phone radiation and cancer remained ambiguous. And the agency concluded that, quote, taken together, all this research has given us the confidence that the current safety limits for cell phone radiation remain acceptable for protecting the public health. Scientists are also looking at the rates of brain cancer. They've been dropping for decades, which could be a good sign. But Samet says it could be another decade or more before the effects of widespread phone radiation actually show up. The trouble is, it's hard to even say what we're measuring when we talk about phone radiation. You're surrounded by phone signals all day long. And right now, you might be in a room filled with Wi-Fi signals. That's all radio frequency radiation. Since I've chaired this panel, I get calls about cell phone towers, wireless water meters. And it just goes on and on. And I think what these questions point to, in 21st century United States, we have more and more devices that are emitting radio frequency, like electromagnetic radiation. And with that rationale, it's very reasonable to say, well, we should find out as much as we can about this. And even if there were a small risk, perhaps a very small risk associated with this kind of exposure, we still have an awful lot of people exposed. For now, you don't need to be alarmed. While scientists haven't ruled out a link between phone radiation and cancer, the evidence suggesting a link is still inconclusive. Samet says if you're worried, there are ways to reduce your exposure, like using a headset. But with radio frequency radiation all around us, it's probably better not to worry too much.

Snapchat recently got a big overhaul and everyone hates the new design of the app. Not everybody. Why do you have to make such sweeping generalizations? Your generation is the worst. Which is why I use Instagram. It's honestly so much better. Because it copies all of the features that Snapchat came up with first. Are you wearing a hot dog t-shirt? I like to describe Instagram as one of the few social apps left that still feels mostly fun. I mean, I know it's not a perfect app and there is still that whole, it's a part of Facebook thing. But to me, Instagram comes closest to that kind of glossy, aspirational experience that magazines had when I was a kid. Yeah, Snapchat isn't really that precious. It's not about having the perfect planted or the... A what? A planned candid. Yeah, it's not about building up your personal brand or selling clean food diets and eating avocados while you live the hashtag van life. What's wrong with avocados? It's just people being real and wanting to message each other. That's why I'm all about Snapchat. Even after the redesign, I mean, isn't it kind of crummy to have stories and your private messages all in the same tab? No way! It's even better now. I mean, putting stories in limbo between chats and discover didn't really make sense before. I'll tell you what didn't make any sense before and that's Snapchat. I mean, even before it was redesigned, I didn't really get it. That's because you're old. You know we're the same age, right? You're older by a minute. One of the best things about Instagram has always been its filters. Snapchat has those too. Yeah, but they're AR filters too. So you can give yourself dog ears or fish lips or a sleep mask or have hearts exploding out of your head for Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day on Instagram is the worst. Also, Snapchat had AR filters first and they're really good. Oh, here we go again with the copycat claim. No, really it did. I mean, what Snapchat's been doing with AR filters is pretty sophisticated from a technical perspective. And that's before things like AR Core and AR Kit even launched. Just look at the dancing hot dog. I'm plant-based now. Snapchat's lenses really do hold a place in our current internet culture whether you like it or not. By the way, how's that algorithm working out for you? Are you still seeing Instagram posts from four days ago? Another big feature of apps like Instagram and Snapchat is that you can message your friends. And I'm here to make the bold statement that Instagram messaging is totally fine. Messaging is pretty much all I use Snapchat for. Well, we know you're not using it for Discover. I mean, how much Jenner Kardashian content can one person consume? Like I was saying, messaging is what Snapchat is all about. Plus it has streaks, which are super fun. What are streaks? I don't think Instagram has those. It's when you and a friend send snaps to each other for more than three consecutive days. Oh, so it's like an IM conversation. No, it's snaps, not chats. And you're supposed to keep them going. Hmm. That sounds like a feature that's been designed specifically to get you addicted to an app. I bet it's so much better than Instagram messaging. Your DMs must be really lame. That's not true. Sometimes people slide into my DMs and say things like, Whoa, your cat did what? Or your friend's baby is so cute. Or you totally crushed that three-foot wave. Or is that your twin or is that a special effect? Riveting. And then there are stories. Yeah, let's talk about stories. Because that is absolutely something that Instagram and Facebook ripped off of Snapchat. Okay, well, if a tree falls in a forest and you make a Snapchat story about it, it's like, did it even happen? Huh? Basically, lots of people are sharing Instagram stories, but I'm not so sure how many people are still using Snapchat stories. Well, at least with Snapchat stories, I have a little more control over who sees them. I mean, with Instagram, you're either public and everyone sees your story, or you're private and only your friends do. With Snapchat, I can choose to make my stories public even if my account is private. And I can also send my stories to a custom group of friends too. But Instagram has highlights now, which is public. And anyway, you could have all of the features in the world, but if fewer people are using the app, then what good is it? All of my friends are using it. I know all of your friends are using it now, but eventually they're going to move on and then you will too. It's known as the network effect. Look, I realize that app popularity can be somewhat fleeting. But for now, I still think Instagram is the overall better experience. It's kind of what Facebook used to be back when it was just about looking at photos and liking things and creating a version of your life that seems slightly better than it is in real life. What? Sorry, I was sending a snap to my best friend. What are you doing? Oh, I'm taking my Invisalign out before lunch. You got Invisalign? Yeah, everybody does. So your teeth look good on Instagram. Are you one of those hashtag ad people now?

Here's the new Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus from Samsung. Now if you squint, even slightly, you might think you're looking at last year's Galaxy S8 because the differences between it and the S9 are, well, minimal at best. But this is the Android phone that more people will buy than any other this year, and it does come with a few new things that those people appreciate. And besides, it's not like the S8 is a bad phone to start from. The overall design of the S9 is unchanged from last year. It's still a glass and metal sandwich, it still has curved glass in the front and back, it still has an extra wide 18.5 by nine display and minimal bezels. It's really nice and it's really well made, but the glass back is kind of a fingerprint magnet and it can be slippery to hold. The smaller S9 has a 5.8 inch screen, while the S9 Plus has a 6.2 inch display. Both are Super AMOLED panels with 2960 by 1440 pixels of resolution, both are really nice to look at with vibrant colors, sharp resolution, and excellent viewing angles. They're also slightly brighter this year, which is always appreciated, if not always noticeable, and they still remain the best displays you can get on any Android phone. They're even up to par with the screen on the iPhone X, provided you don't mind slightly more saturated colors. The S9 has the same fast wired and wireless charging as before, the same IP68 water resistance as before, and the same 3.5 millimeter headphone jack as before. Now if you're looking for a high end phone with a headphone jack in 2018, your choices are fewer than ever, so it's kind of great to see Samsung stick with it for the S9. Now the big design change is the placement of the fingerprint scanner, which has been moved from the side of the camera to just below it. It's much easier to use than the S8s, especially if you're using the larger Plus model, but it's still weirdly small and too close to the camera. I frequently swipe on the camera lens when I'm trying to use the fingerprint gesture to see my notifications, which is kind of annoying. And then of course, there's that dreaded Bixby button, which is still there, still in the same spot, just below the volume buttons on the left side. Now you can disable it from launching Bixby now, which is progress, but Samsung still doesn't provide a native way to reprogram it to something more useful. Now at its worst, it's annoying, and at its best, it's a little fidget button that you can press without having to worry about doing anything, if you actually disable Bixby. The other new hardware feature here is stereo speakers, which basically catches Samsung up to what everyone else has been doing for a couple of years. They are noticeably louder and fuller than the single speaker on the S8, and they're really great for watching video. I'm not gonna say they're the best phone speakers I've ever heard, but they're still great, and I'm happy to see them here. The rest of the hardware improvements are all on the inside. It's got Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 845 processor, either four or six gigabytes of RAM, depending on which model you choose, and a new LTE modem that supports even faster gigabit speeds. Now those are specs we're gonna see in virtually every Android flagship this year, but Samsung is the first out of the gate with them. Performance, at least during my review, has been great. Everything is really fast and responsive, and the network performance is just as impressive as last year's, and to be honest, noticeably better than the iPhone's. Now unchanged are the size of the battery in the internal storage. You get a 3,000 milliamp hour battery in the S9, and a 3,500 milliamp hour battery in the S9 Plus. Both of them have 64 gigs of storage, and micro SD card support. I really would have liked to see Samsung increase the battery size this year. It's not to say that the battery life is bad on either model, but it's not the best you can get, and heavy users are gonna even deplete the S9 Plus battery after a long day. So despite all of that sameness, Samsung did upgrade one important aspect of the S9, and it did so in a pretty big way. The S9's rear camera is all new. It's got an improved sensor, and a new variable aperture lens that can physically switch between a really bright F1.5 and a smaller F2.4 aperture. The S9 Plus gains a second telephoto lens for portrait mode stuff, like Samsung used on the Note 8 last year. On top of that, everything is optically image stabilized. Samsung claims significant improvements in low light photography over the S8's camera, and it's true that the S9 definitely can take some really great photos in low light. The F1.5 aperture lets in more light than last year's F1.7 lens, and the improved processing helps reduce noise overall. Now I'm less impressed with this switching aperture feature. It feels more like a parlor trick than anything else. Now since a digital camera can just compensate its shutter speed for how much light is in the room, I don't really ever feel like I would ever need to shoot at F2.4. Now if you are in the pro mode of the camera app, you can actually switch between the two modes. So here for an example, I'll shoot this image at 1.5, and then I'm gonna shoot this image at 2.4. And overall, there really isn't much difference between the two images. The F1.5 has a slightly blurrier background than the F2.4, which has a little bit longer depth of field, but in terms of sharpness, there really isn't any difference there. So I'm not sure why I would ever shoot at F2.4 on this phone. I'd probably just leave it at 1.5 and forget about it. The S9 Plus's second telephoto lens is similarly gimmicky. Samsung's live focus portrait mode just isn't as good as Apple's or Google's at separating a subject from the background. And in challenging lighting conditions, the image quality is kinda bad. The S9 can shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second, or slow motion 1080p video at 240 frames per second, which catches it up with what the iPhone can do. Now both modes produce nice quality video, but you have to make sure you have plenty of light for the slow motion mode, where you'll see a lot of noise in the video. Overall, the S9's camera is definitely an improvement, and it's very good on its own. But if you weren't a fan of Samsung's image processing before, you still won't like it now. Sure, there's less noise than before, and the colors are pleasing, but all of the images definitely have Samsung's look to them, which is different than what Apple or Google's cameras produce. At this point, it really comes down to personal preference, but it's definitely something to be aware of. And one thing I wish Samsung did spend some time on is the front camera on the S9. It's the same eight megapixel camera as found on the S8. It does have autofocus, which no other front camera has yet to replicate, but its portrait mode just isn't as good as Google or Apple's. So all of that stuff is great, and it's gonna keep the S9 at the top of phone rankings for most of 2018. But there's a ton of other things that Samsung is pushing with the marketing for the S9 this year. And to be honest, you'll probably never use them. It's almost as if Samsung just couldn't help itself. Now first up is AR emoji, Samsung's take on the iPhone X's Animoji feature. Here's how it works. It scans your face, and then it produces a Bitmoji-looking character based on 100 points of your face that kinda maybe sometimes looks like you. Then it takes this character, and it creates a bunch of reaction gifts with it that you can then send in messaging apps. Then there's also some weird-looking animals that you can create video clips with, like you can do with Animoji on the iPhone. Now there's a couple of issues with Samsung's AR emoji. First off, Samsung isn't using any special tech to capture your face or movements. It's just relying on the camera, so tracking is pretty bad. Second, the characters it creates are just the wrong kind of creepy, and nobody I've tested it with has been like, oh, that's something I like. And then the animals on top of that are just kinda weird. It's definitely something that Samsung built just to compete with Apple, and frankly, it's not very good. Now Samsung is also trying to ape the iPhone X's face ID with its new intelligent scan feature. It combines iris scanning and face detection to unlock the phone. But it's still slow, and now it shines a bright red light in your face when it scans. The good thing there's a fingerprint scanner that's easier to reach on the back, because that's faster and more reliable than Samsung's face scanning options. Next is the new super slow motion mode in the camera. The S9 can shoot up to 960 frames per second, which sounds really neat, but it can only do so for.2 seconds at a time, and only at 720p resolution. Now there's two ways you can shoot it. You can try to manually trigger it to capture the.2 seconds of action you want, or you can use an automatic mode that looks for specific movement in an area of the frame, and then capture a slow-mo when it detects it. But in practice, both are really hard to use, and they're really more frustrating than anything else. Worse, you need a ton of light to make it work, and even if you have lots of light, image quality is kinda crappy. And if that wasn't enough, there's the awful music the app overlays on the clip automatically if you don't bother to edit it after the fact. ["Sweet Home of the Sunset"] Now Bixby, it's not new, but it's still here, and it's still bad. It's gotten a fresh coat of paint, and it's slightly faster than before, but it's still way slower than the Google Assistant, and isn't as good at parsing my voice commands. There's a couple of new features, like an integrated makeup store that lets you try makeup out virtually, and then buy it directly from Sephora or CoverGirl. But I really can't imagine anyone using that more than once. Anyways, here's what I look like with a face full of makeup. And then there's the perennial complaint with Samsung software. Why are there so many duplicate apps? The unlocked S9 I've been testing has two email apps, two gallery apps, two browsers, two app stores, and two payment apps. Now a couple of Samsung's apps are good, mostly the Samsung Browser and Samsung Pay, but the rest are inferior to the Google apps that are also installed on the phone, which just makes them kind of annoying. And if you care at all about software updates, Samsung is one of the worst manufacturers when it comes to delivering new versions of Android. As of this review, last year's Galaxy S8 still doesn't have Android 8.0 in the US, and that was released by Google over six months ago. Okay, so it sounds like I just took a huge dump on the S9, but like I said, most of these bad things can be ignored. You can turn off Bixby, never bother to use AR emoji or SuperSlowMo, and disable most of Samsung's apps. The only real sticking point for some people will be Samsung's poor update history. But that leaves the rest of the S9, which is actually really great. Still has a modern design, has great performance, a great screen, and a very good camera. Outside of the display, the S9 isn't a class leader in any category, but it's good enough in all of them that the whole package makes for a great phone. Chances are, if you're spending between $700 and $900 on a new phone this year, the S9 is gonna be one of the best options you can get. But if it doesn't do it for you, you might wanna wait for Samsung's next big thing. Sick! Wasn't that cool?

There's a new version of Android out. Well, sort of. Google released the developer preview for Android P today, an early look at the next version of Android. Now, it's very early on in the process still. We don't know what P stands for. There's a lot of new features that presumably Google hasn't shown off yet. But if you want an early look at Google's OS, this is it. Just to be clear, this is a very early developer preview. If you're not a developer, and even if you are, if you don't have a spare test device around, you probably shouldn't go installing this on your main device. But if you've got a test device lying around, like say this Pixel, then you can give it a go. And we have. And here's some of the new stuff we've noticed. So one of the biggest features coming to Android P is support for a notch. Just like on the iPhone X and the whole bunch of other clones that we saw, the Essential Phone, Android is adding native support for notches. So P is going to have better support for notches overall. You can see it actually truncates the notifications after a few with a little dot over here so you can see you have more. And if you're running a developer preview, you can actually simulate the notch on your device, like this Pixel, which doesn't usually have that cutout, so that you can start developing your apps appropriately for it. You'll also be able to simulate different shapes and sizes of notches using the P beta. So you'll be able to design for a whole host of things, whether it's a wide and flat one like the iPhone X, or a taller, thinner one like you saw in the Essential Phone. I'm gonna make sure that no matter what shape and size your notch looks like, P should be able to handle it. Google's also updating how messaging works in Android P. You'll be able to see the last few messages in a conversation directly from the notification so you can remember what you were talking about, and you'll be able to respond directly in line in the notification. Google's also adding support for smart replies, like the ones that it's featured on Allo or Gmail, directly from the notification shade. So a couple responses will pop up, you'll be able to tap one and go directly from the notification, as well as stickers and images directly in line. Android P will also be able to identify if your phone is trying to play widescreen video content and automatically play it in widescreen, even if rotation lock is on, which is something that I've at least been waiting for for years. Lastly, we're starting to see hints of what could be a new overall design for Android P. There were rumors a couple weeks back that Google was planning on overhauling the design, and while there's not too much here to see yet, there are some bits and pieces. The settings menu's been updated, it's now more colorful, different colored icons for each setting thing, and there's an overall theme of more rounded design going around. The notification bubbles have rounded edges, the dock has rounded edges, and there seems to be some new font stuff, too. It's a very early preview, so there's no way to know if this is final, if this will be indicative of larger changes to the OS, or just a couple tweaks, but if you've been holding out for a new version of Android that looks completely different, there's at least some hope for you. There's some smaller stuff here, too. Google's blocking access to the microphone, camera, and other sensors to apps that aren't active, which should finally put to rest, once and for all, all of the conspiracies out there that Facebook is secretly listening to your conversations in order to serve you ads. It probably won't, but it really should. There's support for some new video and image codecs, too, like the HEIF format that Apple started using in iOS 11 and Mac OS High Sierra. There's some indoor positioning stuff, which uses multiple Wi-Fi hotspots to better locate your phone indoors, and some autofill stuff that works better with password managers. These are all great features, but there's also the unfortunate reality that the Android phone you have in your pocket right now probably won't ever get Android P. As of February 2018, only 1.1% of all Android devices had been updated to Android Oreo. And unless your phone has the word Pixel in the name, the odds of it getting P when it comes out, presumably sometime next fall, feels kinda slim. Maybe things will be different this year, but I would not get your hopes up just yet. Don't expect a whole lot. We don't even know what it's called, although my money's on Pi for what it's worth.

you you you you you Hello. Welcome to Circuit Breaker Live, the Verge's Gadget Show. Hello. Welcome to Circuit Breaker Live, the Verge's Gadget Show. It's a show where we play with gadgets all the time. I am Eli Patel. This is Paul Miller. Hello. We have a packed show. Dan Seifert's standing right here. I'm here. But wait for Dan. We have a packed show. I'm going to tell you all about it. Dan, we're going to talk about the DOSDS9, which is here. Dami is going to join us. We've got a bunch of new kinds of wacky musical instruments to play with. Paul, it just says you're going to teach me how to type. That's right. That's exactly what it says. Which feels insulting. It's very confusing. You've got a lot to learn, Eli. Jake and Ashley are going to do Ask Circuit Breaker. We've also got some videos to run in the middle. Very exciting. Some surprises. Segments? Segments, you might call them. Is that what those are called? Packages? The pros call them packages. We're going to listen to our IFBs through our IEMs. But first, we are going to talk about the GS9, which is, as we said last week, came out last week at Mobile World Congress in Spain. Dan did our hands-on video with the launch. Now you've got them. I got them. So I think we're on the top-down camera here, right? I want to play a game with you, the YouTube audience. I'll take this pixel out of the way. These are Galaxy S9s and Galaxy S8s. I want you to type to me in this chat that S9s are physically located. These are the small ones. These are the big ones. The pluses and the regulars. The pluses and the regulars. The S9s are on one side, and the S8s are on the other side. Just type left or right which ones you think the S9s are. Wait, they're left? You have to guess. I'm saying, if you're looking at the screen... Yeah, just type left or right. I'm looking at the top-down. Okay, they're left as are left. Paul, can you tell the difference? So you just vote in the chat here. Type left or right. Left or right. Which ones do you think the 9s are? Neil and Dan won't let me flip them. Yeah, we can't flip them because it's printed on the back. What I can see is that some of these phones have extra little icons. Like this one is like a weather, but also it looks like it's like a link. Like maybe you connect to the cloud with that button. I don't know. So I'm assuming new phone, more feature, that the ones with the icons, so therefore the two left ones are S9s. That is my current theory. I'm going to say that asking people to pick a 50-50 choice has resulted in a 50-50 split. Oh, really? Most people are saying left. Okay. That's what I... Now most people are saying right. Okay. Oh, man, this is crazy. Okay. Dan. They're saying the opposite of what I'm saying. Dan. Several people are saying... What is the truth? The truth is from this side, they look virtually identical. Dan, can you tell us? So there are minor differences. All right. So to give the answer, so Paul, I'm sorry, buddy. That was super wrong. You chose the S8s. S8s on the left. S9s were on the right. S9s are on the right. All you left voters. So, well, you didn't... I mean, like they basically do look exactly the same. There are some really minor differences at the top. You can see the S8. You can see more of the front sensors. They like blacked them out more on the S9. Samsung calls this more immersive. I call it they did a better job. See, I thought maybe like more sensors on the S9. Well, there's the same amount of sensors. That's the other thing. It's like technology-wise, they're basically the same. They're the same amount of sensors. You just can't see them as easily on the S9. They're hidden on the S9. And then the other difference, which I don't know if you can really tell from your angle anyways, but the S9 has a matte finish on the metal frame, and the S8s are glossy. So that's really the only front difference. And then the other one, I should say, also the speaker grill on the S9 is a single slot, and the S8 had this like multi-hole grill. But the S9 has stereo, right? But the S9 has stereo, which just means that it uses the earpiece speaker as a speaker in conjunction with the bottom speaker, just like the iPhone does, HTC does, a bunch of phones do that now. One of my favorite features of iPhones. It's great. Yeah, it's like the fact that Samsung didn't have this until now is kind of surprising. Like they're actually catching up. It does sound really good. One very important distinction on the back, correct? So on the back, on the smaller models, the big distinction is the movement of the fingerprint sensor was up on the camera, by the camera on the S8. It's now down below on the S9. And then on the S9 Plus, you get a second camera. So you get two cameras like you found on the Note 8 last year. Two for the price of one, you might say. Well, sure, except that you pay more for this. No? You literally pay more for the second camera. No, you're paying for the larger screen, and you get a free extra camera. Sure. So, people ask us questions in the chat about these phones. We're going to start going through them. Number one question, I've got some tweets here. This surface just hates me today. But the number one question we got was about the cameras. How they work, if they're better. Yeah, so let's take those essays away. This is garbage. What's interesting to me, and we were talking on the show last week, they now have a mechanical aperture. So this can step down from, it can close the aperture. It's wide open at 1.5, f1.5, which is brighter than any other smartphone camera I think we've seen. And then it can stop down to 2.4, which is right on the edge of the lens. So actually the way it works by default is the opposite. It starts at 2.4, and then Samsung software will open it up to 1.5 based on automatic settings. But that's a hardware thing that happens. That is a physical hardware switch. You can see, we're going to try and show you guys this on camera, but we were having a little trouble focusing this earlier. Right now it is wide open. Let me open up the camera app. Because if you go to the Pro Mode, you can alter this. So it is wide open now. Paul, let me know when you're ready. Yeah, if only I had manual focus on my camera. And I'm just toggling between them now. Put something there so I can help them focus. Yeah, Samsung, if you're listening, it's very hard to take photos with these. Glossy black. Okay, I see it. You can see it switching. Wait, which is which? That's closed? So this is closed, and now it's open. Yes. Closed, open. It's almost like a filter is dropped in. You can't actually do any of the apertures in between 1.5 and 2.4. It's one or the other. To be fair, my mechanical lenses, it's not like you can pick a range between 1.8 and 2.2. Sure you can. Well, no, but 1.5 and 2.4 is roughly a full stop in terms of light, in terms of photography. So a lot of lenses will give you third stops in between. Anyways, that's kind of tangential. The point is this gives you more options than any other phone on the market. What's this for? So Samsung says that because the f1.5 lens lets in so much more light than the 1.7 on last year's phone, sometimes when you're outside in really bright conditions, it's too much light, and so you close it down, you let less light in, you get a better exposure. Which is backwards of how most people talk about aperture. Why don't they just crank the ISO? So what most phones would do in a bright situation, what the S8 does, what the Pixel does, et cetera, they're just going to increase the shutter speed. So the shutter's open for a shorter amount of time, and you get the same exposure even in bright light. The other thing that a smaller aperture can do is give you a little bit greater depth of field or more area in focus. But with phone sensors, they're so small, you already have so much in focus already, there's really not much of a difference. So our friend Walt Mossberg tweeted at me earlier today, why do the side-by-side test photos I've seen show so little difference between the two fixed aperture settings? So part of that is the depth of field is really not that much different. And we've got a couple examples I think we can pull up. You can notice an exposure. So if you guys can see this, this is shot at f1.5. I don't remember the exact shutter or aperture off the top of my head. You can go over there and point some stuff out. So you can see this is shot at f1.5. If we could switch to the 2.4, the next photo. Now this is shot at f2.4 with the same shutter speed and the same ISO. And you can see that it's much darker because you have 2.4, lets in much less light. So it's about one stop of difference. So you held all the settings constant and just switched the aperture? Just switched the aperture for that. Okay, so if we go to the next photo. So this is at 1.5 again. This is with automatic ISO and automatic shutter speed. So what you would notice here is that this part is pretty blurred out. This is pretty blurred out in the background and things like that. But it's sharp up front. And if we go to the next photo, it's a little bit more detailed. It's like the tiniest bit. The tiniest bit. So this is shot at f2.4 with automatic ISO and automatic shutter speed. So the camera compensated for the smaller aperture by raising its ISO or sensitivity. Can we go back one photo? Yeah, let's toggle back. So what's interesting to me, so most, when you think about shooting in low light, you want that wide open aperture to let in more light. Let in more light. So you can have a fast shutter speed, it's not blurry. Exactly. Samsung is saying literally the opposite here. Well, they're saying it's bright. The mechanical aperture is to knock it down in bright light. Yeah, it's funny that they're pitching it that way. Because if you use the camera in automatic mode, it defaults to the f2.4 aperture and only opens it up when it needs to. Whereas most automatic cameras are going to open up the lens as far as they can go and only close it down when they need to, like you were saying. But the camera works a little backwards in automatic mode, which is kind of weird. And then the other thing I would say, if we can take this full screen, I just want everyone to look at this photo. It's hard, I know on YouTube there's all kinds of compression happening. But if you just look at this photo, it still, to my eye, looks like a Samsung photo. And Samsung photos, we've now done so many photo comparisons. You can just see it, they're hyper-processed, they're a little bit more crisp. They do all kinds of processing to smooth things out. The noise on this is really good. This was indoors at a coffee shop, obviously. It's not the best light in the world. But this is at f1.5 and the noise reduction is really good. That's one of the things that Samsung worked on this year is to reduce the noise. But it still, like you said, has that Samsung look. And I think a lot of that has to do with the way it processes things, the way the color is rendered mostly. And certain times that Samsung look looks great. Certain portraits look really nice with that. And other times it's different. I don't have a pixel comparison here. How is it doing with skin? One of the Samsung problems is sometimes we'll just smooth over skin. So on the rear camera, it doesn't do that as much. On the front camera, by default, it smooths your skin out. You can turn it off, but by default it's going to totally make up your face basically. So we should talk about the front cameras too. Because the back cameras are real interesting. Ruben in the chat is asking, Pixel 2 XL or Galaxy S9 regarding the front facing? So the interesting thing about the front facing camera is exactly the same as last year. It's the same 8 megapixel camera. It has autofocus. It's basically the only camera on the market that has autofocus on the front. And it does have a portrait mode, but it's not as good as the Pixel 2s or even the iPhone X in my opinion. But you can see, if we can switch to the front cameras. What am I doing? There's an AR emoji mode, man. Selfie. So by default, it will adjust your skin tone and adjust the color. I'm so too charged. Let me just add it for... And so it'll... I don't like the front camera. I really don't. It really can really butcher your skin. And then it has what they call selfie focus, which is their portrait mode on the front. So would you say overall, you've only had it for a few days, but it seems largely the same with the addition of a wide angle lens and slightly better low light performance. It's like an S8.5. I mean, it's the iPhone 6S, right? It's the iPhone 8. It's the same design. It's got the same internals with newer, more modern stuff. They added a few things that you don't have on the prior model, but it looks the same. It feels the same. If you close your eyes, it's like you're using the same phone. Vishal in the chat just pointed out... Also focused on your camera. No notch. No notch. Samsung, one of the few manufacturers this year, going with this symmetrical design... No notch and a headphone jack. And a headphone jack. So you don't need this in your... Phone to get. You can just take these and throw them to hell. Get out of here. I feel like my decision hasn't been made. Why would I get any other phone in the world if they're not going to have a headphone jack? I mean, the S8, I will say, the S7 and the S8, well, the S8 I think was prettier, minus the fingerprint sensor. I think they set a standard for phone design. Apple had to meet that with the X. They did it, notch aside. But no one else is close. Even the Pixel. This is a smaller Pixel. This isn't taking nearly as good. It's not just design, it's like the level of fit and finish are really nice too. It's a very well-polished, well-made device. This is something important to me because I do kind of want, I'm kind of looking for an Android phone. I want a smaller phone. And the Pixel 2 is notoriously bezel, forehead-inch and heavy. Big forehead size means all five of them. The metric everyone is insisting that we now use... Oh, yes. Is screen-to-body ratio. Yes. Which makes me want to die. What's your screen-to-body ratio? It's a little bit too much, my friend. Too low, it's something. So great, it's beautiful hardware. The camera is a Samsung camera. People, if you like it, you're going to love it. It's going to be an improver. If you're like me, I think the iPhone and the Pixel are just a little bit nicer. It really comes down to the look. And if you didn't like the look before, you're not going to like it now. It's like an aesthetic choice. But here's what we always say about Samsung phones. Great hardware, most features. But you stick around for Bixby. Run in the software, and it's just the same as ever. There's two web browsers, there's two email clients, there's two messaging apps, there's two assistants. Two web browsers, two app stores, two gallery apps, two email apps, two payments apps, things like that. And certain things are better than Google's. Like Samsung's internet browser, I've been saying for a while, is better. Samsung Pay is better than Android Pay. But the point is, most of them are not better, and then you have to have both. So it's a whole bunch of folder of Google apps, and a whole folder of Samsung apps. It's nice that you can corral them like that, but they're shit better. And then we've got to talk about it. Two assistants on the phone. And two assistants, right. One of which is mapped to a hardware button. There it is. There's the Bixby button. I'm a Bixby person. Okay, so this is Bixby, what is this called? This is called the Bixby Home, which is basically like Google Now. By the way, Vlad Savov, one of our great reporters, editors, said, the Bixby button is hardware bloatware. That's where he's at with Bixby. Tell us what they're trying to do. Is Bixby unimproved? So it's gotten a little bit of a facelift. It's a little nicer to look at, but who cares. And it's slightly faster, but it's still slow. And then in the camera app, Bixby Vision, they call it, where is that, has gotten a couple of new features. You can do makeup with it, which is kind of crazy. Oh yeah, I saw this. So you can do like different, oh, there I am. Oh, pretty. And then I can like buy that makeup directly from Sephora. Of course. Are you kidding me? Because why else would it exist? Wait, go back to the makeup. I want to see that. There we go. You can do different looks. Honestly, I would use this. This is great. Yeah, so there's that. You know, it's got some text things or whatever, but for the most part, it's still Bixby. It's still weird. It's still slower than Google Assistant. So let's just try this. It's voice to text is not as good. And its whole thing is that it can actually operate the phone for you. It's supposed to be able to operate the phone for you. So you can be like, turn Wi-Fi off. And it opens its settings. Oh, nice. Turn Wi-Fi on. Great. Turn Wi-Fi on. And then Dan was showing me earlier, we can just tweet from his account. Let's not do that. Open Twitter and tweet, I love Bixby. It's my favorite. That's not great. Oh, it got five experience points. It didn't do that at all. So that's like the greater pitch of Bixby is that it can go into your apps and do things. It's key to your voice, right, Dan? It has been trained on my voice. Dan, you do a tweet about how much fun you're having being on the show. All right. Here's some ideas. My good friends, Paul and Eli, they're great to hang out with. Dan. Just do the tweet. Open Twitter and tweet, I love Paul and Eli. Great. Is it ever going to get your name? Nope. Paul, enable great. Yes, it is. Everything. Oh, there you go. Wait, it just says, I love Paul, enable great. Yes. Yes. Okay. So there's a part, I was expecting to hate Bixby. There's a part of me that says it's like it can do more things. It actually controls the phone in the app. My big problem with it is that it's slower than just the phone. It's easier to open Twitter and just type that out. And here's the other problem. I'm just going to be real with everybody. Every time I hear the word Bixby, this is a high-end, beautiful, polished device, and the assistant is named Bixby, which literally makes me think of a dog wearing shoes who is a butler. It's like a clippy. It's like Samsung's clippy. It's like a joke that we've been telling on the VirgChats forever, and last week I asked people to send me pictures of a dog wearing shoes, and our producer, Creighton, literally started a Tumblr, BixbyShoes.tumblr.com, and we have a lot of fan art of Bixby. Here's, who's this one? This is, I don't have a name on this one. Here's one. This is great. Paul, here's your cheater-ass submission. Yeah, I didn't draw anything. Is that okay? It's just a really good photo. It's a good photo. This is my favorite by far. Ricky tweeted this one of me. This one looks like he opened a door that's a phone. I like the tongue. I think he's walking out of a smart Samsung refrigerator. Yeah, that's great. This one's pretty good. He's holding a tray that says stuff. And then this last one, this is great. So here's the art. This is from Cameron on Twitter, but then he showed us his process, which is a video, which the dog is part of the logo. It's a real tall dog. It's a real toss up. You tell me who should win the prize. We have a clear winner. Is it Cameron? Yeah, yeah. Not only did he do a great job, but he showed his work. He showed his work. Like I cheated. You definitely cheated. I have to say I'm more impressed with Bixby than I expected to be, but I would prefer to just turn it off. Yeah, so you can turn it off now. You can actually go into settings. You can turn off what they call Bixby Home, but you can also turn off the buttons. So now the button does nothing. But you want to remap the button. A camera or something? Natively, no. There are apps in the Play Store that you can download and will let you remap it until Samsung pushes an update and then it breaks and you have to do that whole dance again. But Samsung does not give you a native way to remap it, so it just basically becomes a fidget button. Oh, yeah. But between this and the Pixel and the fourth coming Pixel, those feel like the only Android phones playing. Everybody else is doing bad, weird notches. There's a lot of notches out there. So I'm not going to buy an Android phone with a notch. I understand why. Well, maybe I would if this wasn't so good, but this does seem to be a very good phone. It's an excellent phone. It's just loaded with Samsung software. You've got to decide if they're good or not. The other thing is that you can't rely on Samsung until you get the next version of Android anytime soon. I'm going to get this name wrong. I apologize. Johan in the chat says, is the iris scanner comparable to the S8? Is it quicker or the same? So same. They do have a new feature that they call intelligence scan, which combines iris scanning with their face scanning function and will determine which one to use based on your conditions. It's very obvious they're trying to ape face ID, but it's still slow, still kind of clumsy and awkward. But thankfully, the fingerprint scanner is easier to use. You still have the fingerprint scanner, so I'm not totally like, you know. What about Samsung's Animoji? They're real bad. Let's look at these real quick and then we've got to... So they're called AR Emoji, and that is supposedly me. Is that you? I believe it. It doesn't use any special tech. It's just using the front face and camera. So you can see the tracking is pretty bad. You look kind of sleepy. And I look very sleepy here. Let's do one of those. That's some like uncanny valley shit. Yeah, it's just creepy, and the tracking is really bad and things like that. Here's Ashley. I can be Ashley. I think Ashley's looks way better than mine. Yours looks like a real jerk. Well, I guess that's very real. It turns out. And then they've got these weird animals. I don't think they're a jerk, Dan. No, this one is, but that one is like a stoned, angry rabbit. Wait, do the weird. This one... What? What is that? I think it's a bear. I don't know. I've got yours up here. So here's what I was going to say about this. An evil cat. Compared to what Apple's doing with Animoji, which is a very restricted inside of messages, Animoji are not in the camera app on the iPhone, right? It's inside of messages. Correct. It's really hard to get out of messages. This is just in the camera app. Yeah, so I can take a picture. It's a more recorded video. I think you'll see more of this crazy machinima stuff. Yeah, it's just easier to get out of the phone. It's really annoying how... People are like creeped out by it. Locked down Animoji is. So then the other thing that it does is it creates all these reaction gifs based on... Like it creates your Animoji and then it makes a whole palette of reaction gifs. This is like bitmoji. It's basically not. I don't... It's like pure Samsung nonsense. There's a nonsense division at Samsung. Okay, Pixar's got a new movie coming out and it's about parachute sports people, right? And so a studio rushes to market and does a direct to DVD release of their fake knockoff parachute sports people movie. I call this stuff Samsung couldn't help itself. All right. I'm just so ecstatic. We're going to take a break from the S9 for a minute. At the very end of the show, Dan's going to come back. We're going to take your phone calls. Which is going to be dangerous and weird. On the S9. No. It's going to be great. You're going to do a good job. Call us with your questions at the end of the show. Dan will be back to answer those questions. I'm excited to see how that goes. Next, Paul, I am told that you ruined one of Dan's computers. I made a video about it. Here's my big fear. I don't like to do pranks on people because I don't want to be pranked. And I broke my own rule, but Dan was really chill about it. So please watch this video of mustard on the laptop is what I'm calling it. Watch this. We'll be back with that circuit breaker. Hello. I'm Paul Miller. Welcome. Okay. Dell says its new XPS 13 won't be stained by mustard or permanent marker. Guess who got a Dell XPS 13 today? Dan Seifer. And guess who has mustard? I have mustard. Dan's at lunch. Look at this beautiful laptop. Be ashamed of somebody put mustard on it. I'm so scared of shaking it. A little bit there. A little bit there. Okay. Just going to smudge it around just a little bit. I don't want to ruin the laptop. Just a little bit of mustard. Look at that. Beautiful. Dan will never know. Nobody has to tell Dan what just happened. Hmm. Just comes right off. Not even a problem. Get all the mustard. Okay. Well, that was the scariest thing I've ever done in my life. Oh, yeah. And nobody has to know. Okay? All right. I'm here with the world's bravest human, Ashley Carman. Ashley thinks I should leave the mustard on the laptop. You definitely should leave the mustard on the laptop. What if Dan hurts me? It would be funny. You would like that. Okay. Okay. So I just put the mustard on and just walk away? Yes. Okay. All right. This is how peer pressure works. You just do what other people tell you to do. Look at that. So clean. It's like I never even put mustard on it. Mustard. Oh, gosh. That's the gross. That's the grossest thing. Oh, my God. Before you sit down. It's kind of gross. Wait. How do you feel? How do you feel? I'm honestly a little grossed out. It's disgusting, right? Why? It's filthy. Do you guys think it'll stain? Here you go. This is going super well. At least it's not ketchup. Because that stinks. So put it in the del. This white texture finish on the XPS 13 is mustard proof. And now I'm regretting telling Paul that for obvious reasons. It's on the internet. Anybody can read it. How long was this mustard here? Just a few minutes. What kind of mustard are we looking at here? No, no, no, no, no, no. We need to leave this for like an hour. I got work to do. It's too bad. You're supposed to be able to leave it on for up to a week. Well, you know, in the few minutes it's been here, I see no issues. Goodbye. This is so gross. I apologize, Del. But you guys did this to yourselves. So Dan, are you not mad at me? I'm never mad at you, Paul. Aw, thanks, Dan. Do you want to have a little mustard hug? This is what true camaraderie and friendship looks like, everybody. And smells like mustard. Smells disgusting. That was beautiful content. Truly beautiful. I'm an enabler, and I feel good about it. What other laptops are we going to put mustard on? We should just put it on every laptop. That should be our test, the Virgis signature laptop test. The mustard test. Yeah, mustard test. Essential. All right. Now it's your time for the best part of the whole show, right? It's Ask Circuit Breaker. So we premiered this, what, a couple weeks ago? And now we're on our third week. We're here. Last week you asked us many questions. We picked them out. One of the questions we have is actually a demand. We'll get to it though. And we want you to keep asking us questions. So please tweet at us. You can leave comments on the YouTube video. Go for it in the chat. You can go on Instagram. We have so many places you can reach us. Just send us a message. Ask us a question. Jake and I are here. We're here to answer your questions. Preferably nicely, but, you know. Yeah. We take questions in any form. It's true. All right. So our first demand, or actually complaint, is that last week we talked about the Nintendo Switch and various accessories. We didn't end up getting to the cases. And I'm sorry about that. But I've brought a couple cases here with me today to explain to you how you should look for a Nintendo Switch case. So I own a Nintendo Switch. And I actually don't have a case. But that's just because I'm a rebel and I don't respect my gadgets and it's fine. Live Dangerous. I've carried it around without a case in my backpack and just let it kind of jostle around in this. Like, don't do that. Just don't do that. So I polled a couple of my coworkers who are way more responsible than me, particularly Creighton, who is our show producer. And he recommended this case, the Unique Hard Shell Case. I've actually taken this case to Mexico with me before. He let me borrow it during a family vacation. So thanks, Creighton. The thing to note about this case, and I think the reason Creighton chose it, is one, it has this hard shell so it's protective. Also, it has a sleeve here where you can put different game cards. And there's a pocket so you can keep a massive battery, which is what Creighton does. Or a Joy-Con or whatever else you want to keep in the pocket. I will say that while this is protective, it has lots of room, it is massive and pretty much took up my entire carry-on. So, you know, if you have space, go for it. But if you don't have space, I talked to Chris Welch, a news editor here at The Verge. And he has this case from a company called Tom Talk that's the Commuter Slim Case. It's way thinner, but it's a little hard, but definitely not as hard as the Unique one. You'll see in here there's no pockets. That's what it's missing. It does have a little game card slot here, but there's no place for you to keep a battery, really. His switch is in here right now. So, the key things I think you'll want to look for if you're looking for a case is that pocket, if it's important to you, if you think you're going to carry external batteries or something like that. Or if you plan on carrying Joy-Cons. If not, if you're just purely a Commuter, you're on the train or something like that, maybe you just want a slim case that's light and easy to carry around. So we have both options for you here. That case looks fantastic for just throwing it in your bag. Yeah, this is great. This is definitely what I would go with. That's what I would be worried about. Yeah, this is what I would go with, purely to keep your screen protected. I would never carry it. I can't keep things charged. It's like the Pelican case of Switch. It's huge. It's massive. So next we have a pair of questions about Android Go. Android Go is Google's new stripped down version of Android. It's meant for phones that are really low end, like under $100. It came out on a bunch of phones last week. And we've got a couple questions. The first is whether Go apps are available on other phones. And so part of Android Go is it's not just the operating system. It also is bundled with a whole bunch of apps that are supposed to be optimized for lower end hardware so that they'll run better. And the answer is sort of yes and no. Some of the apps are available. Some are not. The good news is that two of my favorite apps are available. The first one is Files Go. You can download this on any phone, and you really should. It's like basically the file explorer that Google should have included with Android but didn't. It recommends files for you to delete, and it just is a really easy way to look through all the images, songs, and so on on your device that you have probably forgotten about. So this is really great. The other one is called Datali. And it's not strictly a Go app, but it's going to be on some Go phones. And it's made by the same team inside Google that makes the Go apps. And this one is for tracking your data usage. It lets you quickly see how much each of your different apps are using up. It lets you lock them so you can say, I don't want Instagram to use any data right now, and it'll only work over Wi-Fi. It is really easy to use. It's another good one if you're trying to make sure that your device doesn't use up too much stuff. So the other question we had is why isn't Google just making all of its apps optimized so they run faster? And I think that's a really good question because, you know, some apps get really, really heavy. But the reason why Google hasn't done this with all of its apps is because some of the, you know, it is optimizing them, but optimize is like a really big, broad word. And so in some cases, that means stripping features out. If you try Maps Go, which you can download on any device, it's just like Google Maps, but worse. You just should not download it. But if you try Google Go, you'll find a completely different experience because it's been customized for different markets where people are just coming online and the search box looks basically as foreign as a command line. So you're going to get different experiences in different places. The only unfortunate thing is I wish that YouTube Go was available in other areas. I think that's another reason that you're not seeing these expanded. YouTube Go has some of the paid features that you find in YouTube Red. So I'm sure there's sort of a monetary thing in there, too. That's it for us. Be sure to send us more questions for next week. And now over to Dami with some musical calculators. Hello. Hey. Dami's here, everybody. She has more than musical calculators. You have like a selection of crazy new instruments. I have so many fun, wacky musical instruments I want to show you guys. I'm going to save musical calculators for last. Save the best for last. But we're going to start with the Atama tone. I think a lot of people might recognize this. This has been around since 1998, which is kind of surprising. I've never seen one of these in my life. Okay. Does this sound familiar to you now? Sounds like a nightmare. Okay. So this is created by a Japanese design firm. Is this a muscle game? Yes. He's got a little face like he's saying hello to you. But yeah, we have a picture of Mewa Denki, the Japanese design firm behind the Atama tone. And that's them right there. They're super dope, as you can see. Can you buy a full-size one? I don't think you can buy that one. But the Atama tone is available in different sizes and colors. I think they have like little keychain versions of it. So can you play a song on this? I personally cannot. You can try if you want to. But there's three, you can play it in three different pitches. So you can set it to low, mid, or high. High is like kind of a little bit obnoxious. So I'm going to set this to mid. And I'm going to hand this over to you and maybe you can play a little song for us. I know you were practicing a little bit earlier. I have to say the face on that thing, and I say this with all the love in my heart, when the mouth is closed, the face just reminds me of Dieter. I don't know why. It's like half smiling, but it's still kind of like disappointed in you. Oh, yeah, okay, I see that. Yeah. I think it's cute. Diamond in the sky. There you go. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Just two hours of rehearsal before the show, everybody. But you are. So can you modulate the tone? You can like do vibrato with your fingers a little bit. It's horrible. Just do that. All right, take this away from me. Okay, so let's put this away. And think about the last time that somebody invented a new instrument, like straight up just invented like an analog instrument. So that's what Yamaha did last year with the Vinnova. This is like a cross between a recorder and a saxophone. And they like to market it as a casual wind instrument. As you can see on the screen there, you can just take it out to picnics like on the go. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What makes it casual? Is it easy to play or is it like low maintenance? It's like super lightweight. It's like made of plastic, I think. So it's waterproof. You put it in the rain if you want. Take it anywhere. That just looks like he's carrying a duck. Go back to that one. This one is weird because she's like, you suck at the Vinnova. This one is carrying a duck. Yeah. I don't know that you want to just roll around like that. Throw it in your purse. You never know when someone's going to ask you to play the Vinnova. Yeah. I personally, I don't know how Yamaha did offer to send someone who knew how to play. But you, Crate and our producer was like, we got it. You have to do it. Let's see. Okay. I'm going to try this. I'm so embarrassed. You got it. I will say that it does sound like me trying to play the saxophone. There we go. Whoa. Okay. So I'm going to put that down. I'm really impressed that you went for it. Okay. So I've never played the reed instrument before in my life, but yeah, this uses like a synthetic plastic reed. If you play like a clarinet or saxophone, you should be able to pick this up pretty easily. But they have a lot of- You can take it to the beach and you're back. Yeah. Just on the go. It's whatever. And people are like, is that a duck? And you're like, no. And then you whip out a Vinnova. So how much is it? This is $99, which I think is a pretty good price. It's like disposable. I don't want to necessarily call it that. Yamaha introduces the disposable saxophone. Well, like- It's lightweight. No pressure. That's amazing. But yeah, I'm really excited to get to these. These go calculators. I ordered these from AliExpress. These are my personal calculators. It's the AR7778. You can also order it on Amazon for 20 bucks. But everything's in Chinese, so I had a little bit of trouble figuring it out. Weren't you saying you found these from some YouTuber? Yes. I found this on a YouTuber called It's a Small World, and this person is like a master at it. She was playing four calculators at a time. She was playing like the Super Mario theme song. So thank you to her for being my inspiration. I think I've seen this video and it is absolutely amazing. It's amazing. So. Wow. Okay, so you can play like almost two octaves. As you can see, the time and date is here. Is it 2005 right now? Yeah. So it's a little bit behind. Maybe that's when it was made. Let's all just take, everybody close your eyes and remember January 1, 2005. But yeah. The full throat of youth. What was happening? I have no idea what I was doing. I was in high school. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, you can also use this as an alarm clock so you can wake up to the sweet sounds of a calculator. I also want to point out that every time you put in batteries, it plays this jaunty tune. Oh my. This is a really intense calculator. Is it meant to be a calculator or is it supposed to be an instrument? I think it's a little bit of both. Can you do math with it? Yeah, you can absolutely do that. This is like for accountants with dreams. They sneak into work and like, I just bring in my regular work tools in. Important note on that. Is there a headphone jack? No. Disappointing. Just, yeah. All right. So it goes on for a really long time. I will be taking your requests in the chat. You have some sheet music here? Yeah, I came with sheet music from Holy Express. It was just a bunch of numbers. No way. Yeah. It's a lot. It's a lot of songs. Any songs that you might recognize? I don't know. Maybe people who can read Chinese in the comments can tell us. But yeah, they gave us a lot of different songs. There's one with a lot of 666's. Oh, okay. That's the devil's music. Right now it's in a mode where it's just playing numbers in Chinese. Yeah. So you have to kind of play around with it. And now we're back to the songs. It's pretty good. It's like Jingle Bells. Yeah, that's kind of how I was going with it. Only I don't know how to play the calculator. But you do. Yeah, so I can play Smash Mouth. All right. All star. I've never been more excited. Oh, wait. So you've labeled this one? Yeah. So this one, I'm really trying to learn this. I labeled it with my Post-it notes. I'm going to try playing it right now. Yeah. Wow. That's great. I just want to do that one part with all the do's. Yeah. You guys are not really into tune. They're not tuned together at all. Just like grab a friend and you can. By the way, Rashad, request Sandstorm. How does that one go? It's like. Oh, shoot. Dobby just broke out Sandstorm on a calculator. All right. What's next? What's next? We got One Hotel California, which is obvious that people would ask. Oh. Wait, we got more. We got more people. Cliffs of Dover. And then Funky Town is in here. Whoa. Dobby. Dobby's too good. She's going to quit her career as a professional calculator player. I'm taking this opportunity to announce that I'm leaving my job. I'm going to become a musical calculator. I would like to tell everybody at The Verge that if you are going to quit, the way to do it is to show up on the show and announce your future career as a calculator. I'm shocked at my hidden talent. That was amazing. I can't believe you got Sandstorm. Sandstorm is incredible. Wait, how much are these? These are 10 bucks on Aliexpress? 10 bucks on Aliexpress if you're willing to wait three weeks. 20 on Amazon. And then what's the channel that you should check out to watch people freaking out on? Oh, It's a Small World on YouTube. I've seen that video. It's incredible. Also, I saw somebody do a duet with himself with this Disney covers. Oh, yeah. That was really inspiration. Yeah, Polly Vaughn's video editor is really good at playing the Vinnova. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That was incredible. Thank you so much, Dami. If you don't know, Ashley actually hosts a great podcast called Why'd You Push That Button with Kaitlin Tiffany, who's also on The Verge team. They did a first season of 10 episodes, which you can go listen to right now. Their second season started today, and we have a little trailer for it. So we're going to watch that. We're going to come back, and then Paul just keeps threatening to teach me how to type, which is something I already know how to do. Basically, the next Mavis Beacon. So watch this. We're going to come back. We're going to play some keyboards. Have you ever ghosted someone? No. So? I'm not proud of it. It's very immature of me. This is a pretty typical New York ghosting story. He was 10 minutes away on his way texting me, and he ghosted the shit out of me. I mean, yeah, it was fun. I had a nice time, but I mean, I don't know. That was really it. I wasn't really looking for a relationship or anything. This is really bad. I've ghosted a lot of people. He would text me, and then he would just keep texting me. And then at one point, I realized he was having a complete conversation with himself. We went on one date, and I thought the date went really well. So then when she ghosted, I was really confused. So I was like, OK, I don't really want a magician in my house. Boom, ghosted. I've never really let people do it to me, because I think it's a big part of my anxiety where I'm like, I always need to have an answer. Like, god damn it. So then he found me on Facebook, and then he found me on Instagram, and then he found me on LinkedIn. And then he was like, are you dead? Maybe something actually bad happened. Months into the relationship, he just dropped all ties. I've never really had a terrible date, or I've had so little respect for a person that I was just going to stop talking to them because I thought this isn't worth it. I realized I was completely incapable of telling people that I didn't want to see them again. I feel like there are tears to ghosting. First date, you're fine. Second date, I feel like maybe you can do it. Beyond that, I feel like you're in dangerous territory. I've been like minorly ghosted on before, and every time I'm just like sending them a message like, you know what, if you don't want to hang out, like that's cool. There's a lot of strategy involved. If you're wondering what to say, like I just didn't feel the spark, because that's kind of, it's not like a bad thing about them. Never gave in. Never gave in. I will not give in. Will not. Thanks. Why'd you push that button is my favorite podcast on this planet. And you must absolutely listen to it. Also, I have been a horrible ghost in the past. I'm so sorry. I just want I want you to feel like I ghosted you, but you went into this other emotional zone. No, I just didn't do the bit at all. That hit me really hard. Oh, you were ghosting me. I was trying to and then you were supposed to react. I never ghosted you. You just started apologizing to strangers. All right. What do you got here? Well, some tech bullshit. This is the tap. Tap strap. Sometimes it's called I think it's just called tap. It's a wearable. At the end of all this, we're gonna take your calls. Let's put the number on the screen. You have nine questions. Dan's gonna come back and we're gonna answer your questions from calls. What is it? 18444 emotion? Yeah, we'll see. Okay, I came up with that. This is the tap wearable keyboard. It's a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The mouse part is not true. Yeah, but so you you tap to type. So like like this is a E I O U. There's different combinations of fingers like D M Z. So I'll do a little my current on my phone. Oops. We've already started. So this is like a little speed run. Just type in. Oh, how does this work? Is there like a virtual keyboard in front of you? Are you courting? It's chords. I'm making shapes with my hands. It's like almost like gestures a little bit, but they're taps. And so I've got to make the right hand shape. It's almost like sign language in a sense. Well, I got that one wrong. 11? That's not terrible. That's not that I'm in the double digits. Why would you want to do the very legit reason why is that like so I've got some some phones with keyboards. Remember there was a time when phones had keyboards. That's like a weird Android sidekick they made. Yeah, this is a very strange phone or Blackberry's. Remember Blackberry's. Anyways, you could feel what you were typing with a software keyboard. You can't. And so if you want to input text on your phone, you can always use your voice. But if you want a discrete way to input text mobilely. But what I'm really excited about is wearable computers like stuff like Google Glass or whatever the future holds for what we're going to actually wear on our face. And will we have discrete text input or will we always be using our voice? So this is obviously we're not going to do this joke. Fun fashion statement. I love this show. I think I was like 2008. OK, this is the twiddler keyboard. This is in a sense a very similar concept. You're making finger combinations to make the letters out of a limited set of keys. Also as a joystick for use as a mouse. And this was used by a lot of the wearable computing. I think we have a photo. Yeah. So right here. This is my personal hero, Fad Starter, who has been basically using a twiddler keyboard and a wearable computer since, I don't know, the 90s. This is Steve Mann. These are very, very, very important people. They're still working on wearable computing stuff. This is a photo from the 90s. Yes, that's very nice. I'm just looking at sort of the Birkenstock finish on the jeans over there. You know, people were saying the 90s are back. They're kind of right. This could totally be on my Instagram right now. OK, so anyways, this could be the keyboard that I've been looking for. Yeah, it's a tap keyboard. So I want you to try it out. Yeah, I'm into it. I'm going to teach you how to type. Since we've been teasing that this whole time. All right. So there you go. So you got some brass knuckles. All right, all right, all right. So you just go past the knuckle here? Yeah, all the way up here. It comes in two sizes and it's comical. You really need, this is the large and it's definitely too large for me. I'd like to announce that I will be in Avengers Infinity War. Oh, good. Good. OK, so here's a little tutorial. A-E-I-O So what you want to do is you're going to float your hand and then tap on the surface. One, two, three, four and five. OK, all right, all right. So then tap all five to proceed. There you go. OK. Why don't you come in? Put your hand right there. There you go. All right. It doesn't work perfectly. So this is one of my biggest problems with it. Now try to curve them when you tap. Curve them? Yeah. Oh, it works way better. So it's not like you're typing on a virtual keyboard. You're kind of making these gestures. But this tapping is very important. And sometimes because it's, you know, it's using motion detection to figure this out. Sometimes it doesn't quite figure it out. So I think this like learning system is amazing. And it built you like learn some of the letters at a time. It gives you mnemonics. You're doing it. How am I figuring this out already? It very quickly becomes. Here, let's let's do some new letters. You've got this one. So that's A-E-I-O-U. So let's do N-T-L-S. Basically, the more common letter is, the easier it is to do. Two fingers together. Tap fingers one and two. There's a songs. Really great songs. But the problem is really good positive reinforcement. You get it right and really good negative reinforcement. You get it wrong. But sometimes you make the correct shape. But you've just moved in some slightly incorrect way. And it can make it hard. It can make it kind of hard to learn. You got this space is all five fingers at once. It's the middle finger and ring finger. And period is a double space. Kind of like a mobile. So why would you? So this is like your. Oh, wait. OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. Yeah. You getting it? Yeah. You getting it? I mean, that's annoying when it gets it wrong. It's weird how quickly that I seem to have learned this. Right. It just goes right into your brain. Yeah. So we're. Neela and I are both left handed. You can. You have to switch it with software to which hand it's going to be on. So if you learn it on the right hand, it's mirrored. So thumb is a index finger is a middle finger is I so forth. This is weird. It's weird how quickly. Well, oh, you type of words now. You're basically a typist. You can type words like lass, sass, mass. No, you can't do mass. I don't know how to do anything. I got that one. No, come on. Nailed it. All right. So how much is this thing? This is one hundred and fifty dollars. Yeah. And there's a bunch of different apps for for mobile. There's like they have games. They have this these learning apps like they've kind of reinforced both like the physical capability. And the actual typing capability. I mean, just that was weird that I figured out how to do that. You picked it up pretty quick. You ever watch me play a video game on the show? I'm usually bad at them. That was weird. Well, someone pointed out to me that in a sense, it's kind of like learning guitar chords. OK, because it is a cording keyboard in a sense. OK, I'm going to do the ultimate test. I'm going to try to type on my laptop. Yeah. And I'm also going to try to pair something on Bluetooth. We're going to get a sign that says days since last Bluetooth fail because we're at like one. Hey, hey, got it. OK, so there's a few things here. So like. These three fingers is delete. Return is kind of weird. They're enter. So I'm going to also really don't like how to type my name. So the P is kind of a weird shape. So P A U L is. So your idea is. Oops. Cool. Oh, G is a tough one. Is that what? Yep. Guy. So I've been practice for about a weekend. OK. I got on Friday. The idea here is that you wear a computer on your face and you. And I type. And you just walk up to service. Here's the thing. I'm using this hard surface. Right. On their commercial, they use it on a lot of soft surfaces like they're using it on like someone does it under a table on a knee or someone does it on his arm. So like and. Especially the more complicated letters are really hard to do on soft surfaces, which kind of almost ruins the entire point. I think about Twiddler doesn't matter what the surface is for this. You want to be able to take notes while you're just out and about hanging out. Yeah. And you can't really do it. Oh, the other thing I wanted to show you the mouse. Sure. Show me this. This is the optical sensor. See if you can see this. Yeah. OK. So this surface is what slides on the table. And it just does not work. It does not look like it's worth. So there's like how do you click? I think it's a middle finger. Oh, it's just it's just like now it's typing accidentally. There's like a right click. There's a scroll gesture. I had the inventor of this demoed it for me and he could barely use the mouse. He kept on saying it's really impressive how good mice are these days. We're as an excuse for why this is so bad, but it's really hard to use as a mouse. So that's kind of a bummer, too. OK. But I'm excited about this. Hopefully they can keep improving it with software. There'll be some software updates. Yeah. And I'm going to I'm going to keep practicing, maybe do a little bit of typing on the go. I like it. OK. Dan is back. That was cool. The tap. I'm very interested in like new input, new interface ideas. Dan is back. He just wandered over to the archives. Oh, to get the phones. And I am told we have a call. What? You want to call us. You can call eight four four four three six six eight four six. We'll take your questions. Caller on the line. Talk to us. Oh, I'm told we have to wait. We'll see. We'll see if we can use this phone technology. All right. Caller, talk to us. Oh, hi. I just had a question about the Samsung Galaxy S9 camera. Yeah. OK, so my question is how in the marketing they're talking about how the camera is like reimagined. I just wondered if that meant that the phone was actually like the camera was actually much better than most high end smartphone cameras. Or it was just like the same that the camera was just the camera hardware was just read on. What's your name, man? Paul. Paul, as you say, you call Paul. Sorry, a little fuzzy. I call I'm going to answer this one, but I'm going to tell you my gut instinct is that is just a marketing tagline. So, yeah, that's the thing with marketing. You have to understand it's all marketing. So Sam was going to Samsung's going to try and market this as heavily as it possibly can and use all the words it wants. The reality is they have done a lot of work on the camera. It's not just the new switchable lens. They do have a new sensor that is a lot of more processing on the sensor itself to do reduce noise and image artifacts and things like that. And it also does things quicker on the sensor to do that kind of processing. So it should produce better images than the S8 or last year's phones. Is it dramatically better than any other phone in the market? No. Is it better at all than any other phone? Like, is it better than Pixel 2? What would you say? It's a lot of personal preference at this point. What would you say reimagined refers to? I believe what they're referring to is the ability to switch the aperture because that is that is an entirely new thing that we have not seen on other smartphones. It's interesting. Yeah. And you get that myself, you know, like a photo and stabilization and stuff like that. Yep. These do have image stabilization on both the front and the rear cameras. So that all carries over from the S8 as well. Optical image stabilization. Yep. Yeah, I think the thing to me is having the mechanical aperture. For so long, the thing with smartphone cameras was to make them better, to make them more like DSLRs. We don't have the physical space to move light around like a DSLR. We're going to have to do this all on software and figure it out. We're going to add a lens to get a depth effect. We're going to do all this other stuff. And now we're starting to see actual physical camera features show up in these cameras. But for not the reasons that you would otherwise expect. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if it was like, you know, I really feel like the the mechanical aperture is more of a marketing tool for this. The phone looks exactly the same as last year, as we pointed out before. So Samsung needs something to market this phone with. And the mechanical aperture is. We have a question. Thank you, Cole. Appreciate the question. Thanks a lot, Cole. So, Gabriel asked in the chat, does a larger aperture work for video? Yes. OK, so you have enough for video. Yeah. I haven't really done a ton of testing with that as how much control you have, but it definitely will do it in the automatic modes. Let's see if we can do it live. Paul Kim's over here. All right. Paul Kim. Break it up. That's a great question. All right. Not one I always think of. That's not me. Just there we go. We're going to take this riveting video of the S9 Plus here. I'm going to go into manual mode. There's something with I've got the controls here, so I'm going to open it up to F1.5. I'm going to shoot some video. Now, once it's in video and recording, you can see very faintly. Let me get this on the black there. You can see it's set to F1.5, but I can't actually change that in video recording. Once I stop recording, I can switch to F2.4 and record a new clip at F2.4, but I can't switch on the fly. Victor says, does Face Unlock plus iris scanner combo work well? I think the real question is, does it work as well as Face ID in the iPhone? No, it's slow and annoying. The other thing that it does is we don't have it set up right now is that it shines a red light. On the iPhone, it does an infrared thing, and our cameras can pick that up if we put Eli's iPhone here. You can see I'm going to hide his notifications, but you can see it flashing on the camera. On the Samsung phones, it actually flashes and you can see it. It's annoying. You set that up. We have one more call from our friend, Sam Sheffer. Sammy, are you on the line? I am here. Hello. What's up, baby? How are you doing? I'm doing well. Watching the show live, I'm curious. Do you think this new aperture in smartphones thing is a trend? Or is this sort of like every smartphone now has two cameras? Is Apple's new iPhone going to have a variable aperture camera? And then a kind of a follow up is, do you think we'll ever see interchangeable lenses on smartphones? That's a lot of questions, Sam. Yeah, Sam's going for it. I don't think it's going to be a trend simply because the benefits are not manifest. It feels really like a purely marketing thing. With the dual cameras that we're seeing on a lot of phones... Wait, I disagree with you. You get better at getting the right one inside of the camera. But why would you ever switch it to f2.4? Just keep it at f1.5. Because having a wide open aperture, you do lose some detail. You lose some sharpness, right? Not in my experience. All right, fine. I mean, you're going to review this thing. Stay tuned for the review. But they keep it closed more often than not, right? They keep it closed more often than not, and I think that is to increase the depth of field. But as we saw in the examples, the difference in the depth of field is minimal at best. And also, in my experience, the difference in sharpness is imperceptible. What about the most important question that Sam asked? Interchangeable lenses? No. So here's my big worry with this thing. For real. My 6S died, not for any particular reason, except I dropped it. And the mechanical focus, well, it wasn't like it died for software, like the battery died and slowed down. It was literally the moving part in the camera that focused it, sort of grinding. And that was it, the end of the phone. Having moving parts in phones scares me, and I think we've seen this endless trend to get rid of every moving part. Instead of interchangeable lenses on cameras, I'd rather have a battery door and a replaceable battery. You're not going to get that. So I think Moment is, I know that's, you use a bunch of interchangeable lenses on your existing phone, right Sam? Yeah. Yeah, I think those companies are going to have a field day because it's specialized. I think the real race is getting more light into these sensors. So Samsung has done one thing. I think there's a reason that they had to build a mechanical aperture ring to close it down, because I think you want it closed more often than not, even though it dances, you can't see it different. But I think the real race is what Google is doing with automatic HDR. I think Apple is going to do its own tricks. Yeah, they're all doing multi-frame processing now where they capture a bunch of frames, stack them together to reduce noise, increase detail, things like that. Google pioneered that. Apple does it. Samsung does it now. They say they're doing it to a greater extent with the S9. Like you said, the real enhancements are going to be on the software, because there's a physical limit to how far you can go with the... So call it now, does the 2018 iPhone copy Samsung with this aperture thing? No. No. I would say no. I sincerely doubt it. I think Apple will find a way to mock this. They will find a way to say, we don't need to add moving parts to the phone. We can do this with our software. I mean, that's just the way... So they'll just go in with like a 1.4 lens instead and just say, ha, Samsung. Maybe, I mean, like again, like we were saying from the beginning when we were looking at comparison photos, these photos still look like Samsung photos. And I think Apple is very happy with the way its photos look. And they've been happy since the iPhone 6, right? I mean, they've been putting iPhone photos on billboards and being like, look at how great these photos are for just five years. So any incremental improvement I think is going to be tough. I think Apple's bigger challenge is the Pixel, because I think the Pixel takes better photos more often. I think iPhone can generate beautiful photos, but more consistently, I think the Pixel 2 does a better job. Thanks, Sam. Thank you, Sam. All right, guys. Just talking to you. See you, buddy. Last question. We've got to go. Max is asking, how's the battery life in the S9 and S9 Plus? So for just to lay down the specs, they are exactly the same as last year. So it's a 3,000 milliamp hour battery in the small one, 3,500 milliamp hour battery in the big one, and you can expect the exact same battery life in my experience. Is the 845 supposed to be more efficient in any ways? The 845 is supposed to be more efficient, but it's not a dramatic leap like from other processor generations. It's still the same manufacturing process, 10 nanometers, so you're not getting efficiencies there. Samsung says there's some software efficiencies and stuff. The real world experience has been that the S9 will last a day for light users. The S9 Plus will last a day for heavier users, but if you're a real heavy user, you can even kill the S9 Plus battery. Neither of them have bad battery life, neither of them have exceptional battery life. It is the typical, what they market, it lasts a day and no more. All right, we've got to wrap up. We're way over time here. This was a trial run of calls, so thank you for everyone who called in. Next week, the entire middle segment of the show is just you calling us for emotional support about your gadgets. Emotional tech support. Emotional tech support, which Paul and Ashley piloted ages ago. I'm excited. Pioneered you, Max. Keep this number in mind. If you've got a question next week on the show, call us, ask us for support. I want to call out two people. Burt, who's watching in the Philippines, thank you for watching. And Techno Info RD is watching from the Dominican Republic. Love that. Thank you guys so much for watching. We're done for today. We'll be back next week, Tuesday, 4 p.m. Eastern. You can obviously watch the show on VOD on YouTube, and there's clips on the website and everything. Next week, we'll be back. We've got a bunch of stuff, and we're going to take your calls for like 15 minutes of crazy tech. It's going to be something. They said it's going to be done. But we're going to find out if we can. All right, that's it for SoccerBaker Live! We'll see you next week.

of phones do that now." }, { "start": 381, "end": 383, "text": " One of my favorite features of iPhones." }, { "start": 383, "end": 384, "text": " It's great." }, { "start": 384, "end": 387, "text": "

way it works by default is the opposite." }, { "start": 462, "end": 468, "text": " It starts at 2.4, and then Samsung software will open it up to 1.5 based on automatic settings." }, { "start": 468,

hasn't done this with all of its apps is because some of the, you know, it is optimizing them, but optimize is like a really big, broad word." }, { "start": 2136, "end": 2139, "text": " And so in some

Right." }, { "start": 3426, "end": 3435, "text": " On their commercial, they use it on a lot of soft surfaces like they're using it on like someone does it under a table on a knee or someone does it on his arm." }, { "start": 3435, "end": 3439, "text": " So like and." }, { "start": 3439, "end": 3446, "text": " Especially the more complicated letters are really hard to do on soft surfaces, which kind of almost ruins the entire point." }, { "start": 3446, "end": 3450, "text": " I think about Twiddler doesn't matter what the surface is for this." }, { "start": 3450, "end": 3454, "text": " You want to be able to take notes while you're just out and about hanging out. Yeah." }, { "start": 3454, "end": 3458, "text": " And you can't really do it. Oh, the other thing I wanted to show you the mouse." }, { "start": 3458, "end": 3462, "text": " Sure. Show me this. This is the optical sensor." }, { "start": 3462, "end": 3465, "text": " See if you can see this. Yeah. OK." }, { "start": 3465, "end": 3469, "text": " So this surface is what slides on the table." }, { "start": 3469, "end": 3474, "text": " And it just does not work. It does not look like it's worth." }, { "start": 3474, "end": 3478, "text": " So there's like how do you click? I think it's a middle finger." }, { "start": 3478, "end": 3482, "text": " Oh, it's just it's just like now it's typing accidentally." }, { "start": 3482, "end": 3486, "text": " There's like a right click.

OK. But I'm excited about this." }, { "start": 3505, "end": 3508, "text": " Hopefully they can keep improving it with software. There'll be some software updates." }, { "start": 3508, "end": 3512, "text": " Yeah. And I'm going to I'm going to keep practicing, maybe do a little bit of typing on the go." }, { "start": 3512, "end": 3515, "text": " I like it. OK. Dan is back. That was cool." }, { "start": 3515, "end": 3520, "text": " The tap. I'm very interested in like new input, new interface ideas." }, { "start": 3520, "end": 3523, "text": " Dan is back.

You want to call us." }, { "start": 3527, "end": 3532, "text": " You can call eight four four four three six six eight four six. We'll take your questions." }, { "start": 3532, "end": 3544, "text": " Caller on the line. Talk to us. Oh, I'm told we have to wait." }, { "start": 3544, "end": 3551, "text": " We'll see. We'll see if we can use this phone technology. All right. Caller, talk to us." }, { "start": 3551, "end": 3554, "text": " Oh, hi. I just had a question about the Samsung Galaxy S9 camera." }, { "start": 3554, "end": 3562, "text": " Yeah. OK, so my question is how in the marketing they're talking about how the camera is like reimagined." }, { "start": 3562, "end": 3569, "text": " I just wondered if that meant that the phone was actually like the camera was actually much better than most high end smartphone cameras." }, { "start": 3569, "end": 3574, "text": " Or it was just like the same that the camera was just the camera hardware was just read on." }, { "start": 3574, "end": 3580, "text": " What's your name, man? Paul. Paul, as you say, you call Paul." }, { "start": 3580, "end": 3587, "text": " Sorry, a little fuzzy. I call I'm going to answer this one, but I'm going to tell you my gut instinct is that is just a marketing tagline." }, { "start": 3587, "end": 3590, "text": " So, yeah, that's the thing with marketing. You have to understand it's all marketing." }, { "start": 3590, "end": 3597, "text": " So Sam was going to Samsung's going to try and market this as heavily as it possibly can and use all the words it wants." }, { "start": 3597, "end": 3602, "text": " The reality is they have done a lot of work on the camera. It's not just the new switchable lens." }, { "start": 3602, "end": 3612, "text": " They do have a new sensor that is a lot of more processing on the sensor itself to do reduce noise and image artifacts and things like that." }, { "start": 3612, "end": 3616, "text": " And it also does things quicker on the sensor to do that kind of processing." }, { "start": 3616, "end": 3623, "text": " So it should produce better images than the S8 or last year's phones. Is it dramatically better than any other phone in the market?" }, { "start": 3623, "end": 3628, "text": " No. Is it better at all than any other phone? Like, is it better than Pixel 2? What would you say?" }, { "start": 3628, "end": 3633, "text": " It's a lot of personal preference at this point. What would you say reimagined refers to?" }, { "start": 3633, "end": 3640, "text": " I believe what they're referring to is the ability to switch the aperture because that is that is an entirely new thing that we have not seen on other smartphones." }, { "start": 3640, "end": 3649, "text": " It's interesting. Yeah. And you get that myself, you know, like a photo and stabilization and stuff like that." }, { "start": 3649, "end": 3654, "text": " Yep. These do have image stabilization on both the front and the rear cameras." }, { "start": 3654, "end": 3659, "text": " So that all carries over from the S8 as well. Optical image stabilization. Yep." }, { "start": 3659, "end": 3664, "text": " Yeah, I think the thing to me is having the mechanical aperture." }, { "start": 3664, "end": 3670, "text": " For so long, the thing with smartphone cameras was to make them better, to make them more like DSLRs." }, { "start": 3670, "end": 3676, "text": " We don't have the physical space to move light around like a DSLR. We're going to have to do this all on software and figure it out." }, { "start": 3676, "end": 3680, "text": " We're going to add a lens to get a depth effect.

Hey, this is Dani with The Verge. We're in the back of a Ford Expedition right now in a parking lot, but that is because we stumbled across Teenage Engineering, and they have created this nice little hub for us so that we can test out some of their products. We have two new products from them that build off of the very popular Pocket Operator series that they've had. And this is really cool because for the first time they have a vocal synthesizer, which is this one right here. It's called Speak. And then they also have this other one down here called the... they all look sort of similar. This is the KO, and this is the first time that they have had a sampler. So a lot of the other Pocket Operators come with their own sort of presets almost, and this is the first time where you can really run with whatever you want. There's a little microphone built into the top, and these can become very fluid pieces of equipment where you can just morph whatever sound that you want. So one of the cool things about the Pocket Operator series is that you can daisy chain these together. So right now we're going to put three of them together, and all you really need is just the stereo eighth-inch jack, and then they can talk to each other, whichever one you have at the front. And right now we have this gold tonic. This is going to be the one that is the... was considered the master that is going to set the tempo and make sure all of the ones that are connected together are in sync. So we're going to test out Speak right now and actually record a sample into it and give it a go and see how it sounds. So I'm going to press Record, just button right up here, and then I'm going to press which pad I want to assign the vocal to, and then I'm going to speak into it. The verge. So you can hear it gave me a click track, which is something that you would normally want just to give you a sense of the time when you're recording something in. So it's recorded my vocal, and then I'm going to play it back, and I'm going to try and get rid of that little bit of empty space that was before my voice and trim it to exactly when I was speaking. And it's triggering really just at the beat of the vocal. At the beginning of that phrase. So now that we have just that sample recorded in, that's where the fun comes, and we can start assigning different effects to it and really play around with how the audio sounds. Woo! That sounds like it could be on a techno track. Do you see up here? It's telling me the type of character it's assigning to the voice. So there's a robot, a fifth, a vocoder, oh it's adding a little synth effect noise. That's kind of creepy. I kind of like this vocoder one. That's cool. This was a lot of fun to use. I've played with some pocket operators in the past, but to be able to record myself in was a pretty good time. It's always fun when you have multiple units to chain together and to really just let the creative process fly. So I think I might be getting one of these for myself. These two new models, the KO and the Speak, finish out the medals line for pocket operator, and they both go for $89. So if you want something that is maybe an intro to Synthesis, if you're new to this whole game and you want something that you can play around with and is pretty intuitive but gives you a lot of flexibility, this might be the thing that you're looking for, especially with this new line because you can record yourself directly into it. There we go. Verge. Signing off. Fabulous. Fabulous. And then turn this. Fabulous. Oh, wow. Yes.

I got a HomePod. I did not, nor will I. This thing sounds amazing. And this lets you play multi-room music from a variety of services, just like all of Sonos' other speakers. But have you heard how this thing sounds? Nope, and I bet I'm about to. This is the new HomePod. It costs $349, and it's Apple's first foray into the world of smart speakers. Although Apple says it's been working on this for six years. And this is the Sonos One, which launched late last year, and for a while, you could get two of these for the price of one of those. Yeah, this works with Siri. And this works with Alexa, which anecdotally speaking, is everybody's favorite virtual assistant. But the big sell with HomePod is really its sound. Apple has gone to incredible lengths to make this thing sound good, which in my opinion, makes it less of a smart speaker and more of a high-end audio product. No, the big sell with HomePod is getting you more locked into Apple's ecosystem. Sonos, which has been making smart speakers for a decade, is really all about letting you listen to the music services you want to listen to, not shoehorning you into Apple Music. It's like the Switzerland of speaker makers. Sonos wants to work with all of the virtual assistants. Yeah, but it doesn't work with all of them yet. But it will, maybe, but it doesn't yet. All right, let's talk about setup. In my experience, the HomePod is a lot easier to set up than the Sonos. You just plug it in, take your phone, hold it near it, and voila, it's set up. So what happens if you have an Android phone? Well, then you can't set it up then. That's dumb, so you can't use HomePod if you have an Android phone. Anyway, this is just a lot easier to set up. Sure, I mean, Sonos isn't exactly plug and play, especially if you have more than one Sonos at home. And getting Alexa set up on this requires going back and forth between the Sonos app and Amazon's apps, which is a little bit annoying, but it's not like it's hard to do. I mean, with HomePod, you don't even really need to open a whole other app. You can just go to the control center and go to Home from there and control this that way. Yeah, but the Home app is so limited that when you want to do more advanced things, like control whether Siri can send messages through the HomePod, you have to go digging through your phone settings. I mean, no thanks. Anyway, this is just better. We're gonna be hearing this a lot, aren't we? Now, in terms of design, the HomePod's been built to really give you the best sound imaginable in this small, lightweight speaker. Seriously, it looks like a bulky $349 roll of toilet paper, and it's been leaving rings on people's coffee tables. So it's not just one speaker. There are actually eight speakers packed in here, all running on Apple's own A8 processor and fine-tuned with lots of custom software. It has seven tweeters, a four-inch woofer. Do you even know what those things do? And seven microphones, six of which are used to hear your voice so you can control Siri, and one that helps inform the bass. And Apple uses this process called beamforming, which means that the HomePod creates a bunch of sound beams, essentially virtual speakers, in the room around you. And then the speaker assigns different parts of the music to these virtual speakers. Okay, well, like I said, Sonos isn't exactly new at this and knows a thing or two about speakers. I mean, this has digital amplifiers and a tweeter and a woofer and a six-microphone array and an adaptive noise suppression algorithm, and all that good stuff. It tunes to the room just like HomePod does, although this does take 45 seconds to do that, and you have to wave your phone around the room like a nerd. But in either case, this doesn't look like toilet paper, and it sounds great. I think it's time for a sound test. Let's do it. Hey Siri, play Cardi B, Finesse. Here's Finesse remix featuring Cardi B, a single by Bruno Mars. ["Finesse Remix"] My turn. Alexa, play Finesse by Cardi B and Bruno Mars. Finesse remix by Bruno Mars from Spotify, playing on living room two. ["Living Room Two"] Alexa, stop music. Okay, so the HomePod, it sounds pretty great, but I'm guessing what will be more important to people are the services that you can play music from. Like with the Sonos, I can play music from Amazon Music, Spotify, Google Play Music, Apple Music, Pandora, TuneIn. I can play music from a lot of the same services on this too. Yeah, but the only service that the HomePod really supports is Apple Music. And since it doesn't currently play music over Bluetooth, it's using AirPlay, which means, well, it's prone to interruption if something happens in your phone and that interrupts the music. Well, I can use Siri on this to send messages to people. Right, of course, and you can also ask Siri for the weather or you can set a timer, although bizarrely, you can't set more than one timer at a time. Look, there's just a lot that that $349 smart speaker still can't do. Right now, the HomePod still can't tell you your next calendar appointment, initiate a phone call, prompt something to start playing on Apple TV, recognize different voices. So literally anyone can walk into your living room and send an iMessage through your account from that thing, unless you change it in settings. Also, can't do multi-room audio, can't pair with another HomePod for stereo sound, although that's supposed to be coming. Should I keep going? It's not like your speaker can do all of that either. I mean, there are specifically still limitations with Alexa. Yeah, but there are a lot of things that Alexa can do on the Sonos. And if it can't, Google Assistant can do it. And look, it just seems to me that HomePod is pretty limited out of the gate. So if you're someone who already has other Sonos speakers or you're looking for a smart speaker, either because you want multi-room audio or because you're just looking for the basics of what a virtual assistant can do, I don't think the HomePod's for you. But if you love Apple products and you're an Apple Music subscriber and you want amazing sound, you should get a HomePod. Or don't. Just don't. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Hey, Siri, play another U2 song. Sonos never pre-installed U2 on any of my devices. With or without you, by U2 now playing.

So, Marvel World Congress 2018, what happened? Well, here's what didn't happen. Huawei didn't have a new flagship phone, LG didn't have a new flagship phone, they just rebranded their old flagship phone, HTC, Motorola, no flagship phones. But still, Samsung launched the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, which were really widely anticipated, but at the same time they left people quite a bit disappointed. These are the first Samsung phones since the iPhone X, we're kind of looking for something a bit more aggressive from Samsung. That being said, even though the design is quite similar to the previous one, the fingerprint sensor has moved to the middle, Samsung has made hardware upgrades, it has the latest chip, it has a new camera, a really cool camera, it has a dual aperture. Uncool? Samsung's AR emoji. They're terrible, they're disturbing, nobody really likes them, I don't know what's happening there with Samsung. Also, on the flagship front, Sony has the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact. To me personally, they look like HTC U11 clones. They have rounded glass back, they have a fingerprint sensor in the middle, in the back that's a new thing for Sony. Also running Snapdragon 845, which the Galaxy S9 will do as well. And Sony has a little advantage over Samsung. Samsung just introduced Super Slow-Mo 720p in the S9, Sony has Super Slow-Mo 1080p. Aside from major flagships, one of the big stories here is Android Go, Alcatel, ZTE, Nokia, Micromax, Lava, there's a whole bunch of companies who are launching super cheap, super affordable Android phones, and the idea there, I mean we're talking about prices like $49 and sub $100 prices, is improving the entry level Android experience. Also from Nokia, they do have a new flagship, Nokia 8 Sirocco, but the more interesting one, the one that's captured more imaginations, is the Nokia 8110. You might know that name already, because it's a retro model, it's a throwback to Nokia's matrix phone, so it's the one that has a physical curve, and it has a slider at the bottom. Also cool about the 8110, it has LTE, it actually has Google Assistant, and it is under $100. So it's a pretty kick ass phone, and you can play Snake on it. Two of the really major themes here at MWC 2018 have been 5G and AI. They are absolutely the buzzwords for this show. 5G is kind of like the Messiah. If you want a religious figure for technology, that's what 5G is. It's the promise of the future, nothing is really happening with it right now, there are no phones, no tablets that you can buy with 5G. Companies are showing off prototypes, but we can't really see anything. And 5G also goes into enterprise applications, e-health, connected cars, and all these things which are kind of a few years down the line. As to AI, it feels like something that companies are just kind of tucking onto their products without really thinking about it too much. Asus, I have to say, is the guiltiest of this. They claim they have AI Boost, AI Camera, AI Photo Learning, they even had an AI Ringtone. It's getting ridiculous, they're not really doing all that much that can really be described as artificial intelligence, but it's a buzzword that everybody is kind of tacking onto and trying to sell products with. As to smartphone hardware, one of the big differences this year, relative to last, is that pretty much every new smartphone, especially the Android side, especially in the higher aspect, has very thin bezels. I love the fact that bezels are just kind of dying everywhere that you look nowadays. The bad side of that though, a whole bunch of companies are copying the Apple notch. The Apple notch on the iPhone X is justified by having Face ID, which is super sophisticated biometric identification system. Nobody else is doing anything near that. They're just copying the notch. It's superficial, it's cosmetic, not a fan of that trend. So even though it's not a retail product, the Vivo Apex is one of the highlights here at MWC 2018. This has practically no bezels, even thinner bezels around the display. And the way the company achieves it is it integrates a selfie cam inside the body, which pops up from above the screen. Anytime you can get that sort of mechanical engineering built into a smartphone, people are going to get hyped up about it. That being said, Vivo has also evolved the fingerprint ID system that they have built into the display and showed off at CES 2018. In this new concept, that covers the lower third of the phone's display. And finally, even though MWC is traditionally a phone show, Huawei and Lenovo actually have some really cool laptops to show off. Huawei introduced the MateBook X Pro, which is another one of those super thin, high spec Windows laptops that you've seen everywhere. But this one has extra, extra thin bezels. It has something like a 90% screen to body ratio. It has a 3 by 2 aspect ratio, so actually it's a bit more square than most laptop screens, which I really like. It's great for writing on. And also it has a hidden webcam, which is a little mechanical button, which pops up from just above the keyboard. Which is cool in terms of design, but might not be the best in terms of creating flattering selfies. As for Lenovo, it introduced some new Chromebooks, which aren't pretty, but they also aren't expensive and they're terrific for taking notes on them. One of them you can take notes with just a regular pencil and the other one, it has a lag free stylus. I tried it myself. It uses one of Google's Chrome OS APIs and it's super. It's just a great experience for taking notes. And both of those are under $300. It seems like this year, many of the big Android companies just weren't ready to launch their flagship phones here at MWC. That's left us with a different show. There's less of the usual hardware hype, fewer headphone jacks, more AI bluster and more notches.

If you're used to spending $600, $700, $800 on a phone, then you're used to seeing specs like octa-core processors, 4 gigabytes of RAM, 64 gigabytes of storage. Just really top tier stuff that's going to run great. But there are a lot of huge markets, like India, where people can only afford much, much cheaper phones. We're talking $100 or so. And in those markets, Android doesn't work so well. It can be sluggish and unresponsive. Now Google is trying to fix that $100 phone experience with something called Android Go. Technically Android Oreo Go edition, but that's a mouthful. It's a new stripped down version of Android that's supposed to make the operating system run better on phones without a lot of processing power and RAM. Here's how it works. First, even though Android Go looks just like normal Android, it's been optimized to work for phones that have one gigabyte of RAM or less. This is actually the first time the Google Assistant has been able to run on hardware this basic, which is an important addition. Now I've been testing these phones for the past few days and they don't run as smooth as a Pixel, but that's not the point. They still run pretty well. And in the past, phones this cheap have had trouble just opening apps. The real question though is how they're going to perform a year from now. And right now that's just impossible to say. The second big change we can see much more clearly. Android and Android apps now take up way less space. The default install size is a little over three gigs. That's as opposed to five or six gigabytes beforehand, which is a huge savings, especially considering these phones likely had eight gigabytes of storage to begin with. A lot of that storage saving comes from apps. Google has replaced all of Android's default apps with Go edition apps. So there's Maps Go, Gmail Go, Google Go. They're just like the normal version of the apps for the most part, but Google has stripped away extraneous features that it thinks won't be that useful in these markets. And in doing so, they're able to bring the size of them way down. If you do have a Go edition phone, it's not like you're limited from getting the normal versions of these apps either. You can still go and download the full Gmail if you want it. It's just going to take up more space. These apps also help you save on mobile data. One of the big ones is YouTube Go. It lets you download videos for offline viewing and it'll tell you exactly how much data you're going to use when you go to stream a video. That's a huge help if you're in a country with a very limited and expensive data plan. Here at Mobile World Congress, Google introduced the first six Android Go phones. It's expecting a lot more in the future. So far, my favorite is the Nokia 1, which has these colorful interchangeable back shells. It's not the nicest phone in the world, but it has a decent screen and a nice design. And compared to some of the other options, that's definitely a standout. Ultimately, performance still comes down to the hardware manufacturer and how much extra software they choose to bog down the phone with. Android Go isn't a silver bullet for all the problems with low-end Android phones. Most Android Go phones will be in the $50 to $130 range. They'll be sold everywhere, including in the US. But Google is really targeting markets where people are buying their first smartphones and even a $200 phone is seen as a luxury. Android Go needs to run well enough to convince people to not go and buy another feature phone. If all this sounds familiar, it's probably because you're thinking of Android One. That was a similar program Google started a few years back to help manufacturers make good, cheap Android phones. But the program kind of died off and it's since been revamped as a stock Android program, which is cool, but not at all what the program started out as. Google seems to have learned from that failure. Instead of approaching things from the hardware side, it's now going in through software. And after all, software is Google's strong suit. Android Go isn't going to fix cheap smartphones overnight or even this year, but it does seem to be moving Android in the right direction. Now, Google just has to convince consumers that Android Go is a good thing to have on their phone. Hey, thanks for watching this video in surprisingly frozen Barcelona. It's been wonderful.

It looks exactly like the S8. But there are different colorways. Different colorways. It's a different screen ratio. Yep, 5.8 inch screen, S10 Plus has 6.2. 6.2, so almost as big as the Note 8. Almost as big as the Note 8. It's got a headphone jack. Still. Hey, Samsung can figure that out, no one else can. It's some crazy camera technology. I really thought it was gonna have a fingerprint sensor under the screen this year. No, we're not ready for that. But they moved the fingerprint sensor from the weird spot next to the camera to under the camera. And then like you're saying, the bigger phone has a crazy dual camera system. I mean, lots of phones have dual cameras. Obviously, I have an iPhone 10 here with a dual camera. But this one, the second camera has a mechanical aperture. So it's a wide angle on a telephoto, and then it can go down from f1.5 to f2.4. So you get more light in. You get more light in. Shallower depth of field, which is what everybody wants. I think it's mostly for low light. I think their move to get more light into the camera is to open that aperture and go to f1.5. Mostly, Vi tried it, Dan tried it. Mostly what it runs in f2.4, it automatically switches. There's a pro mode in the app that you can set it manually, but it mostly automatically switches. And mostly in low light, it'll just open up to f1.5 to get more light into the sensor. But day to day, it's gonna run at f2.4. Here's the thing that's interesting, and I want your questions about this phone. We have a video from Dan that we're gonna run later. We'll answer your questions as best we can later on the show. The big open issue for me, we've done a lot of camera tests this year. The Pixel 2 by far the best camera in the market. iPhone X, something in there. I have been consistently saying Samsung's cameras are not as good because their software processing is so aggressive. Well, Google's almost doing the least with the camera, the most with the software, and they're getting the best results right now. Yeah. So will that continue to be true? So if you're gonna do all this fancy actual camera stuff, moving your apertures around, is your software just gonna crush that difference away? I mean, there's gotta be a point where hardware, I mean, that's why I have a digital SLR, or a mirrorless, but interchangeable lens camera, because I want a big sensor so I can get low aperture and fancy low depth of field. It's great, I love it. But if phone hardware is not even anywhere close to that, then maybe software still is the answer. So we'll see. The phone just came out. It came out, our video was published yesterday basically. The teams in Barcelona, they're using it. We're gonna run a- Just leaving fingerprints all over it. It's just going up to every phone at the show, just touching them all. So we don't have it. Again, it just came out. We're gonna run some hands-on video of the S9 a little bit later in the show. Ask us questions both in the chat and on Twitter, use hashtag CircaBricketLive. We'll try to answer them throughout the show as we get them about S9, everything else happening at MWC. But we have a lot of stuff here to actually show you. We've got a pack show today. So we've got the Kavo here. Ashley's gonna join us. We've got this smart light situation, it's very precarious. We just left it set up. She's gonna show us the future of what's happening with LED smart lights. Hyman's gonna show us the Switch, Nintendo Switch. One year anniversary is on Saturday. There's a whole ecosystem of accessories. We're gonna play with a bunch of those. Want to take your questions. We're gonna do floor reports when we see- Such a good show. It's a lot going on. And I will say all of our demos are very precarious, starting with this one. So what's this, Neelay? So I wanted to have this on the show last week. Okay. But it was too hard to set up. This is- I mean, I'm just gonna get back here. This is the Kavo. Actually, Hermes already says, you personally recommend moving from the S8 to the S9. I don't know. That's like, we gotta get it, we gotta review it. I don't think it's enough yet. Anyway, this is the Kavo. Sorry, got distracted by the chat. We will answer more questions later. So keep them coming. I want to talk about the S9 too, but we'll keep them coming. So this is the Kavo. It's a universal remote system. They want to say a lot of other things about it. I will say, just all things aside, having an HDMI switcher is a very nice thing. Yeah, so basically the way I think about it is, to solve the problem of controlling multiple devices, you can't just have a remote that's smart anymore or a hub. You actually have to control them all. So this is an HDMI switcher. It connects to the network. It connects over Wi-Fi. It logs into your services for you. It keeps track of what you're watching on what device. It's just, it's basically like a little butler. It's like asking your friend to do complicated remote procedures. Right, so this is the remote. Okay. We gotta plug into this TV back here. God only knows what it's doing. So right now it's running, this is Amazon Fire TV. This TV has motion smoothing on. Oh no. So this demo's over. Fail. I can't look at this. Failure. But no, this is a Kaba. There's, this is a Kaba. You can see it's got this interface over the top. I can just like press. Can Kaba turn off motion smoothing? Kaba cannot turn off motion smoothing. Okay, wait, wait, so explain what you do. I'm sorry, I'll pay attention. So this remote, it's just like a universal remote. It's controlling this Fire TV, right? Which is? Plugged into the Kaba. Oh, right here. Right here. Plugged into the Kaba. Okay. Now here's the, so it's just basic universal remote stuff. Here's the crazy thing, we've got a Roku. Right. I'm gonna plug a Roku into this Kaba. You can see these like crazy posts. Yeah, are those just aesthetic or is that just, is that really? And I got a Chromecast here too. Let's plug that. Why not? Plug this dude into it. And I can go through this one, this setup. So the Kaba is smart. Two new devices were detected. So I set those up. Okay. It's gonna think about what they are. It's gonna recognize them. Okay. Automatically figure out what they are. It's gonna automatically map this. Okay. And then. Oh, next. This thing is, by the way, it's insane. It's $500. It is so complicated. Is this artificial intelligence or did they just like painstakingly just program? So the reason that you wanna plug things into here is it watches the screen. Right. So it knows, it looks at what's on the screen. So I'll show you. So you can see here, it figured out we plugged a Roku into a Chromecast and I plugged them into just random ports. So. Okay. Next you'll test control of all connected devices. Now it's gonna switch over to the Roku. It's gonna keep thinking. This process takes a minute. So now it's gotta find the Roku on the network cause it's gonna try to, this is probably where this is gonna fall down. I'm gonna be honest with you. Oh, good. Good. This is where it fell down. Well, I'll be here. So the way it doesn't just control it with like IR the way Harmony does. It doesn't just control it with CEC the way that a bunch of other devices do. Which is remote messages passed over HDMI. Right. It controls it over everything. So it has an IR blaster. It checks the commands over CEC. It watches the screen to make the commands get taken. How does it work with the Chromecast? The Chromecast is actually, it's never gonna find this Roku. Crate and I are pretty sure it's freaking out right now. Cause we knew this is where it would fall down. Sorry, we're not in like a home environment, right? We're like in our office. But it. But you set this up in your home. Oh wait. Oh, I found it. It just took a while. You didn't trust it. Yeah. So now this is actually great. You can see. That's the screen right now of the Roku. Yeah, it says test it. It just took a while cause we're on the office wifi here. So like, yep, it works. Crate and you're gonna have to do this back there, man. You got a Kavo Kavo cow. 217 a. Everybody type in 217 a. Don't do that. Crate and it's like ready to go on the back. So this is logged into all of your services. So now when you watch a show on Netflix and you pick it up on another device, it'll remember. Done. Okay. So whatever. So you, it's got voice, it's got voice. And then it's gonna, so now we're in the, okay. And you have like a hybrid interface. There's Roku, there's Roku back, but Kavo pops up. I was here. So now I can be like, watch altered carbon. This is the Kavo search. It's going to show me the Kavo thing. Okay. And I can do that or I can push this button and I can decide which device to search on. This is bonkers. So I can say search on a Roku. What it's doing in the background, because it can see the screen, it's opening the Roku interface and it typed altered carbon into the Roku search for me, which is insanity. Solved. I can also, I don't know why you would do this on this device, but I can go into settings. The Roku and the Fire TV are like very similar. Okay. But I can set, if I only want to watch Netflix on the Apple TV, I can set it to fire. If I only want to watch Netflix on the Apple TV, I can set it to run on the Apple TV if I only want to run on Amazon. So now if I go and set this to Roku, I can do that. And set that one to Roku. So now what's the show on the Amazon? It's like the Grand Tour. Watch the Grand Tour. Is that the car show? It's the car show. I just know it's on Amazon. So you saw that it was on the Roku interface. But that, now it's just operating everything in the background. So if I go to the Fire TV, click through the Fire TV interface for me, and it's gonna watch the Grand Tour. It's boggers to me. It's crazy, right? I've tried to find just regular websites, like help me find what I can watch on my different services. It's not even like a solve problem, just like websites. I'm so impressed that this thing is actually working. And then the other thing you can do, so now here we are in the Amazon. We've got this Alexa here. Okay. And this Echo here. It's listening. It's definitely listening. Alexa, stop. I'm not sure. Because it's bridging and controlling, you can use Alexa to control devices that don't normally support it. So you can use Alexa to control Apple TV. You can use Alexa to control Roku. So you can be like, Alexa, tell Kavo to play Stranger Things. And because we set. Playing Stranger Things. Because we set that to happen on the Roku, it'll do it. I guess it's not. There it is. Do you have to push the button? I think I'm gonna just have to push the button. Oh, you have to do a profile. It knows about your Netflix profile, so it'll ask you. So now let's switch back to the Roku. And play it. So these. It stresses me out how much it's doing. It's doing. Couldn't it just fall over any second? It's very brittle. Okay. So it fell over for me a bunch. The setup is crazy. My wife hates this thing. Aw. Because when it falls down, it just falls down catastrophically. Wait, and if I just press pause, it's gonna pause it for me. Yeah. The other thing is if you have a cable box, you want to get the supported cable box, you have a Comcast X1 box, a Dish Network box. It will support a cable box? It does all that. It will also at night just scroll through your DVR and read the screen of what's on your DVR so it has an index of what's on your DVR. So it's just like meta-interface universal remote. It's like because it can watch the screen, it can do all of this crazy stuff that no other universal remote can do. It is $500. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's huge. Just like look at it. It's monstrous. But the best part. Yeah. You can choose your favorite wood finish. It's real silly. What is this one called? Is this like a maple? I don't really know. I don't know all the kinds of wood. So K.S. Sante in the chat says, any chance we'll get HDR support in the future? So this is the big problem with it. Does not support HDR. What about 4K? Supports 4K but not HDR. Doesn't support Dolby Atmos. So for $500, you're locked into this like pretty limited, it can't grow with you into where people are thinking things will grow. The way I understand that this is almost like their trial run. Like this is just like a look at what we can do, but they're gonna make something that's a little more accessible. Yeah, so I interviewed their CEO and their CTO a bunch of times, really cool dudes. They're very excited about this product. They have backgrounds in like audio components. They work for speaker companies. I've asked them, their goal is to get this product out, get the technology out in the market. They're only selling 5,000 of them. They don't think this is a work in progress. I think they're trying to get acquired. I don't think they're trying, I think they're trying to get their stuff smaller. I think they wanna make a newer one that's cheaper, that's smaller. Most people do not need eight ports or whatever. What about like a brushed metal cover? Everybody, that's everyone's next move, obviously. I think they're gonna make a sound bar. I think they're interested in a receiver. I think that's true. If you have a smart TV. Solve the complicated parts of your home theater. If you have a smart TV, it can't control your smart TV apps because it can't see the screen. So like, they've got some like limitations, but if you're the sort of person, if you're like me. Why does this have to be so hard? So hard. How did we get here? If you're like me and you have a Chromecast, you have an Apple TV and you have a Roku, which is true at my house. You're a monster. A monster. This thing will just like, and you have a cable box, I have a cable box too. This thing will just like, it is easily the best universal remote I've ever used, except when it breaks and then it's a computer. And then it's an Android computer and it's like, And then your, And then your wife is mad at you. She does not like it. I'm sold. The other thing that's cool, I'm not on this network. Creighton, I think you might be on this network. If you just launch a cast stream, it'll just like click over automatically and this remote can plain pause a cast stream, which is not true of all current like, That's the Chromecast pain. Yeah. My big thing is volume. Every different app that can cast to my Chromecast has a different way of doing volume. Yeah. And it's real pain. Yeah, so this will just like do it. It is again, this thing is very finicky. It wants to be in control of everything. It reads your power state on your TV. I mean, it requires you to have relatively new things and support HDMI CEC, but it will go talk to everything over the network. It'll talk to your Apple TV or Bluetooth. If you just airplane Apple TV, it'll figure it out and light it up because it's watching the screen all the time. What are these buttons for? There's play. You hit all three of them. The remote beeps. Oh, to find the, Something left. Find the remote. It didn't happen. But yeah, I think if you hold down all three of them, the remote beeps. Not today, Paul. But those are, yeah, just some put handy. People are saying, does it bypass HTCP? No, it doesn't. It lives in the HDMI chain. Yeah, how does it look at the signal? It has to decode it all? Yeah, it's all kosher. It does everything. So I wouldn't want to put a game console on this chain. I'd get a lot of latency. You would probably get some additional latency out of this. Yeah, but they know about it. But I plug my Xbox into it. I'm bad at video games, so it didn't make a difference to me. You couldn't even tell. I was like, yep, I still suck at video games. I was like, yep, I still suck at this. For me, every millisecond counts. To me, this device is like why we have Circuit Breaker. I don't think most people should buy this, but it's fundamentally so cool. It's such an insane gadget. Here's the craziest thing. So I was saying it logs into your services for you. So here it's got Netflix on the screen. It's every night, it's displaying this screen, right? Virtually over here, it has a web browser open. And at night, it logs into Netflix for you. And it looks at what you've been watching on Netflix, so it can update its watch list. Crazy. It logs into who you're watching. What happened to APIs? Yeah, some of these services don't have APIs. So every time they hit a wall, they built this intense solution to get over the wall, which is wild. This is what hackers do. Yeah, this thing is a huge hack. This is how people scrape the web. This is where we are with Universal Remote. This is why I lost every eBay auction ever, is people like this. No, it's like everything is out of control. It's wild. But every time they hit one of these walls that prevented them from controlling something they weren't supposed to control, they built a solution. What would the Roku's, Amazon's, Google's cable boxes have to do to make this just irrelevant, like not even necessary? I don't know. Are you just casting? So yeah, so Creighton just casted from, because he's on the right network. It just switched. It just switched, it just did its thing. And now I can just hit pause, and you see in the corner here it says Chromecast. That's so nice. It's just doing its thing, man. Now it's not. Well, circuit breaker. Can't push play? Oh, you got it. You got it. So to me this is just one of the most complicated products that I've seen, but if, like I said, I might buy one for my parents. My parents are not gonna get, like I wanna get a 4K HDR TV in the place where I'd put this, I have Atmos. Like it runs into walls for me. I use smart TV apps on my LG. My parents just have this like super complicated setup. Right, and they're having trouble wrangling everything. You just be like, doot, doot, doot. Just ask Kavo. Yeah, when you have a cable box plugged into it, when we had, I had this plugged into my house during the Olympics, and I just like, watch NBC, and it would switch over and change the channel, and because it can see the screen, it got the channel right every time, which not every university. I have YouTube TV, and I can't even just say, watch the Olympics. Yeah, somebody says, what about Plex? So yeah, if you are running Plex on one of these devices, it's not a Plex server, right? It doesn't have a Plex app built into it. It has no apps built into it. The apps have to run on your Roku or your Apple TV or what have you. Yeah, it'll control Plex just fine. But if you just have an Nvidia Shield. I don't think it'll, it won't do all the smart stuff with the Shield, I don't think. Doesn't work with Android TV? I don't think, it won't do the API control the way that it can with these other devices. But if you have an Nvidia Shield, you don't need anything else, is what I always say. They told me the Fire TV was the hardest one to, yeah. It's just, Amazon doesn't think you're gonna, I think Amazon's worldview is like, you're gonna plug this into your TV, and that's it. And that's the end of that. I think it's true of all the other devices too. All right, so that's the Cabo. Thank you for your questions on it. It's the most complicated product. I really appreciate you bringing this and setting it up. I really wanted to do this. Because I know this was like a lot of work to even get it working at all. It took, I would say two days. In particularly in our setup, where we have like our switchers and our HDMI, this is designed to be in your house. And it's designed to be plugged into ethernet. Oh good. So here on our network with our switcher and all that stuff, it was pretty difficult. But I'm glad it's here, it's very gadgety. I'm eager to see what the next version of it looks like. I think this version, there's a reason they're only selling 5,000 of them. Because they can't make enough of those wood panels. They also told me that the HDMI hardware in here is so hardcore that there's only one chip supplier that could do it. Ooh. So they have to ramp up the chip design to do HDR, to do all the other stuff. We'll see. All right, here's what's gonna happen. Ashley's gonna do a quick Ask Circuit Breaker. We're gonna get a field report from MWC from Jake. And then we're gonna come back here, and Ashley's gonna show us about some smart lights. As Neelai mentioned, it's me, Ashley. Hello, how are you guys? Jake is not here today, so I'm doing Ask Circuit Breaker all by myself. All right, we're gonna do one question today. The question is, do you think Huawei can ever make a splash in the American market? So it's been an interesting year for Huawei. This was supposed to be their year. For you guys who aren't aware, they're a massive Chinese smartphone maker. They're huge. They're up there with Samsung and Apple. It's just in the US. Most of us maybe don't even know who they are. We probably can't name a single device. So this year was supposed to be their year with the Mate 10 Pro. They've been selling phones online for years, but this year they were going to get a carrier deal. People were going to find out who Huawei is in the US. It was going to be big. They even, at CES, when we were there, we saw tons of banners with the Mate 10 Pro. Huawei was seriously on some serious hype game. And then, while we were at CES, it was really sad, AT&T, who was supposed to be their carrier partner, dropped the partnership, and Huawei was kind of just left out to go to Amazon now. I believe the phones sold through Best Buy. So after that happened, we have to kind of establish some context here for your question, that NSA, the CIA, and the FBI were all like, hey, also, I know AT&T dropped this carrier thing, but you shouldn't buy a Huawei phone or a ZT phone or any other Chinese smartphone because we don't trust it. So Huawei's had a really tough year, even though the Mate 10 Pro is technically available in the US. Do I think the phone will make, or the company as a whole will make a splash in the US? I think it's possible. I think they could become a household name if they get those carrier plans, because carrier plans are essential. If you want marketing, if you want salespeople to push your phone, you need to be in AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, wherever. Those carrier plans are essential, and without that, I don't think Huawei can make a splash. And even if they did get those carrier plans, I am not sure their devices will be enough to capture the US market. So there you go. That's Ask Circuit Breaker. Make sure you leave some comments with questions, because next week, Jake will be back. He and I will be together once again to answer questions. Also, you can tweet at us and ask us questions there. Okay, I'm gonna send it over to Jake now, who is in Barcelona. Hey, it's Jake. I'm here at Mobile World Congress. I've been walking the floor all day, checking out the new stuff. I'm actually here in Samsung's booth right now. You can see it's super crazy in here. This place is huge. The first thing I wanna do is show you the Galaxy S9. I don't really wanna show you too much of the phone. I just wanna point out this new lilac color, because it is fantastic. More companies need to make phones in really bright, fun colors like this, because it really stands out and it looks really good. I wanna tell you about a few of the other really cool things I've seen so far. Yesterday, I met with Lenovo. They have a new Chromebook that you're able to use anything as a stylus. And so I was able to take a pencil, just a normal pencil that you'd write with, and start doodling on the screen, and it works. It's fantastic. It's super natural to use it that way. The other favorite thing of mine at this show is that Nokia has re-released the 8110, which is the slider phone from the Matrix. As somebody who was a huge Matrix fan years ago, the nostalgia is just overwhelming. It was so fun getting to play with this. I will say, I wish the sliding action had been a little more snappy. It was not, you know, maybe to the full extent of my dreams, but it was still super fun, and I'm glad it exists. So now we're here at Huawei's booth, and I wanna show you one of the most ridiculous things that has been announced here. It's really fantastic. So this is the Mate 10 Pro. It's a laptop with super thin bezels, too thin to put a webcam in. And so the webcam is instead built into the keyboard. As you can see it pop in and out like that. It's extremely satisfying. It's extremely weird. The angle is awful for your face, but hey, it's the future of laptop webcams. It's wonderful. We're gonna be at the show all week, so stay tuned to theverge.com for more coverage. That's it for me, back to you. Jake, just vlogging his face off. Put a camera in the keyboard. I love that. I'm calling it knuckle cam. I love it so much. We saw that one and then there's the Vivo phone, the motorized. That's just a concept. I love it. It's happening. Is it? What is happening? Oh, it's happening. I feel like this problem was solved and we're just unsolving it. Huawei's gonna get us one way or another. That Mate 10 must look good. Okay, Ashley. Hello. Here is my thought. Yes. We actually did a story earlier this year at I think it was a Detroit auto show, about all the craziest headlights at the auto show, because car makers are using LEDs and now they're just going crazy. Smart lights have traditionally just looked like regular bulbs, because they're trying to like Trojan horse into your house. Wi-Fi everywhere, listening to you. But now it appears that you have crazy LED smart lights for us, like design. Ashley, I really want to talk to you, an expert about these lights, but I want to be clear. Neil, I know it's your theory that cars did weird lights and someone was like, we can do that in the house. I feel like if you're a car designer, your job is to be crazy. You show up to work every day and you're like, hey, Mr. Ford, and he's like, you doing any crazy stuff today, Steve? Right. And you're like, I better get on it. Right. I think home lighting designers are like, light bulbs, we're good. But now. But now LEDs are everywhere. Okay. That's my. LEDs are everywhere. But you're right, Ashley is. LEDs are everywhere. Ashley is indeed the expert here. Ashley, what do we have here? That's my argument. Okay. Bill Ford's yelling at Steve all day long. I'm gonna actually start with the most boring one. Okay. Because we're gonna save the party stuff for last. Okay. This is the C by GE Sol. C by GE Sol. Yes, Sol, like the sun in Spanish. C-S-E-E? Just the letter C. Just the letter C. Just the letter C. Starting out on a high note. By GE, two letters, Sol. C by GE Sol. Yes, there you go. C-G-S-O-L. We got this. All right. We're doing great. Okay, so this is just an LED light. It doesn't do funky colors or anything. It is a smart light. It has Alexa built in and the base. Wait, really? Oh, turning off that Alexa. You got some controls here? Yeah, so you can use voice controls. It doesn't play Spotify or anything like that. It doesn't? No. The speaker's atrocious. So I've had this in my room for a few months now. Alexa, play some music. Here's a station you might like. Just Glitten from Amazon Music. Just Glitten? Yeah. Just Glitten. Here's our copyright strike for the end of it. Alexa, stop. That did sound bad. It's really bad. It's horrible. So you can use one. Sorry, I don't know that. Sure don't. Please stop. Here's our station coming back. Alexa. Oh yeah, stop. Stop. Sugar breaker. That's the other thing is I turned on the music just one time. I was like, I'll try the music. I had to scream at the top of my lungs next to it for it to hear me. Oh, it doesn't do that noise canceling thing. Yeah, it just couldn't. So anyways, it only does white light. I've been keeping it in my room. I don't actually use Alexa at all because the commands are totally unintuitive. I don't think in percentages when I think about lights. I'm not like, I want my light at 52% today. So I can't use voice commands for lights. But this changes temperature? Yeah, so I'll show you guys. Also, I had a really fun notification on here that was telling me to sync my Sonicare brush with my phone from last week. Anyway, so here's the app. Paul, do you wanna? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can Paul cam this. Yeah, just turn it my way. So you can have different scenes, which seems kind of. For one light? Exactly, I don't know why. You can also use their other, they have other bulbs. But the thing is, the only colors they can do are, you could do warm. Okay, so you can do like hospital. I'll turn it up really bright so you can see. Like a yellow, a yellow. Yeah, exactly. Wait, wait, go through those lights again so people can see. Okay, so here's like the warmer. It's really bright, sorry. And then here is the cool AM light. Super basic, these colors here on the inside are actually a clock. Which I could never figure out how to read. Wait, what does that mean? What time is it? Paul, I'm looking at this from. I only learned how to read the microwave clock. I mean, it appears to be 645. Yeah, I'm telling you, I couldn't figure out how to use this clock. Okay, how much is this thing? This is now on sale for like $115. Just buy a dot. It's a lot. The thing is, I love the look of it, which is why I'm into it. I don't need Alexa. I use the app anyway. Just give me this, no Alexa, and I'm good for maybe 50 bucks. I'm willing to pay 50. Okay. All right, I'm gonna turn this off because it's very rich. Goodbye, see, soul, G-E. So now. Wait, if you don't have the G-E, it's called the see-sole? They have their own bulbs that are C by G-E. The sole is a subunit. All right, what does it use? See, this is, you gotta, when the lighting designers get crazy with the LEDs, you gotta live through some of this. Yeah. This is why all Toyotas look angry now. All right. Still, what's going on here? All right, so now we're getting a little funkier. This is meant to go on a wall. This is from Life-X. It's their beam lights, so. Oh, Adam M. says, if someone who's bought a C light, it's far and away the worst product I've ever bought. Yeah. All right, thanks. So I don't wanna take this apart because it broke last time, but I'll show you guys. This is the beam. You can see the connectors. They stick together through magnets. Okay. And then these little pins here talk to each other, so it knows. Wait, wait, show them that. It's one unit. So the computer is like down here. Right. And it's just sending power and data. Wait, where's the computer? It's this little white. It's plugged in, but we don't wanna screw with it. There we go. A little behind the scenes action. That's the power brick. This is all the smarts. So that connects over Wi-Fi or whatever? Yeah. None of these have a hub. And I will say, just, you saw the Wi-Fi issues we were having with the Cabo earlier. That wasn't great. Okay. Yeah. But it's on right now. It's on. It's on. Again, this works with Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, IFTTT, but for demo purposes, I'm going to focus on the app because I think the apps are where you really get the full experience. So here's our little light here. This app is horrible. All right, we're gonna just dive right in. You can change any color you want. Yeah, can we dim it down? Yes, we can do that also. There we go. Oh, it's working. Slowly, yeah, I know, I'm like, is? Our rehearsal of this thing was very precarious. I want to just have a color. Jell says, Pogo pins? Yes. So what we're gonna be showing you for the next segment of the show is a bunch of hardware Pogo pins. So you can see I'm changing the light here on the actual light. But then it gets fun when you can view. You're in wave mode. All right, well, so here is, you can pick from different scenes. Okay, that's mellow. This is mellow, which isn't really mellow in my eyes. Yeah, this is not mellow. This is like a popsicle. This is great. Here's intense. So you can make any shape you want, right? Right. It can have up to eight beams, but a kit comes with six and they don't sell them individually. So I don't know where you would find your other two. It's like a math ball. I know. It's so many numbers. It was the greatest common multiple of six and eight. You know, it's too early to do that kind of math. I like this. This is nice. Someone asked what tablet that is. What scene is that? That is an iPad mini. What scene is that? You might know it. It's an ancient archeological artifact. The name is energizing that I clicked. Was this energizing? Yes. Nope, that wasn't. That was energizing. Okay. It really just affects the palette and it randomizes where it shows up. Yeah. So then you can make it like rave. Right. So in addition to just having these light effects, you can do different things with it. So I can do move, which right now it's really fast. You can change the speed and the direction. Like I can change the direction. This is a thing I've always wanted to know. So I'm changing the direction and you can see it's just moving. I can also just make it go really fast. Oh, no, that was really slow. Okay. It goes the way you wouldn't think it would. Oh my God. I hope I did not give anyone a seizure just now. I'm sorry if I did. Wow. Sincere apologies. Okay. Spooky, what's spooky? Let's try spooky. Let's see, spooky says it will flicker or black out. I don't know about that. Scary. I mean, I'm super into these and I cannot think of where I would put them in. I don't know, I'm pretty scared right now. Like forthcoming baby room rave. Yeah, highlight the crib. Yeah, you should use this to highlight things. How much does this thing cost? This one is 200. 200 and you get six of them. Six of them and two corner pieces. How much is another set of six? $200. Oh. They don't sell anything separate. It's just one set. They don't sell anything by itself. Seems like it defeats the point of modularity, right? Yeah. I mean, I think they just, this is a new product for them and I feel like maybe as they become more established, they'll start selling them. Can you make this rock to the beat? Yeah, so the next product we'll do and then this one as well, both do music visualizers. So I'm gonna try that on here. I'm turning it on. Here's the thing. Everyone wants us to plug it into the cop-o. I don't know what that means. Our iPad is recording right now because. It's using your iPad. Yes, it doesn't have a microphone built in. So for the music visualizer part, it uses your device's microphone. All right, so I'm thinking what I can play here. Just Hotel Califate, that me goes on. I put on Celine Dion. She'll never see this. I guess there's not enough room for me. You want straight Titanic on that? This is good, this is good, this is good. Wait, all right, let's see where we are. This is the worst party ever. Let's see where we are. You show up to someone's house, like check out my LED lights and then turn on the Titanic song. I have no idea why Celine Dion just came to my head. Okay, you know what, I'll put Migos on. There you go. All right, I'm gonna go back to the app. It should be on, but it's not good. Not getting it. Nothing. Nope. All right, another Sugar Breakah demo in the bag. I'm trying, it's not, and you can see it's recording up here, but nope. All right. We gave it a chance. What are these other ones? Good, and you can obviously Alexa these up, right? Yeah, Alexa, HomeKit, everything. I feel like most of these apps are really bad because everyone realizes you set them up once and then you just wanna use Alexa. So they've stopped trying to like. See, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna use the apps trying to like. See, I don't use Alexa though. That's my whole thing, is I'm like, I like the apps. I feel like I have better control. Yeah, but that's like if someone says like, we don't have to do a good job on this bridge cause everybody's gonna take the tunnel. You've lived in New York for how long? A while, a good. They're saying that about everything. These subways, no one needs those. All right, PL train. All right. Should we try Alexa to turn these on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just for fun. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, turn the lights on in the lounge. I think it's the lounge. Whoa. It worked. These are way cool. Yeah. How do these attach? Are they also bongo pins? See here, they're these little pieces. What? And then if I grab a panel. So this can have up to 30 panels. Okay. And you can buy. No way. This is how this works? Yeah, it slots in. And you just like clip them together. And then you clip them together. And unlike. You can immediately lose those. Yeah, keep them in a safe spot. And unlike these, the Lifex ones, you have a separate music visualizer component that has a microphone built in. You can also plug through a headphone jack. Yeah. An actual device. Bring back the headphone jack. Yeah. So let's take a look through the app here. Yeah, let's look through this app. Okay. What's neat about this is that. Is this app worse? I can't tell if the app is slow or iPad mini is just ancient. It's really hard to tell, honestly. Here you can paint your panel. So it automatically detects the. How much is this? This one's 230. Okay. And that includes, I believe it's like, I don't remember how many panels that includes, but it includes the music visualizer. Okay. These all for college students? I can't imagine being an actual functional adult. You can make them look classy. Okay, awesome. So you can paint with them. Okay. Where now it's all white. I'm picking colors. I can put them there. That's beautiful. You can change your palette. Can you do any color? So you have to pick a palette. And I'm trying to remember how to get. So like web safe colors? Yeah, they have them all. Web safe colors. Can you enter any arbitrary? So here they have a palette. So you can choose from a bunch of these. Where if you want like more of a hunter green approach. And I already have some colors in here now. That looks horrible. I always wanted, wait, go ahead. That's the worst color I've ever seen. I never said I was an artist. Like a bunch of these and just make a brown light on my wall. So now I think it'll look better if I do like a scene cause they have it. Okay. So if I go to. Rhythm. I wanna show you guys the dynamic part, which is kind of what we saw over there. Where it can move. There's like this flow aspect where it changes. You can alternate the directions and how it goes. So this is more for if you wanna be a passive view. So you just have it on this continuous flow. You can affect how fast it moves, things like that. See now it's really cycling through a bunch of colors. Now the rhythm part, this is actually. What? I wanna turn off this. Yeah. Okay. Guys I'm yanking this guy. There it is, it's gone. It's gone. See you later. Okay, we're gonna do paint splatter. Okay, paint splatter. So it's reacting to our voices actually. Hello. Yeah. What up? It's working because we have a. You're singing a song to it. You sing a song to it. I'll take Paul Kim. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore. Wow, gorgeous. Now I'm going on red, like it knows. It knows. There's different effects you can do to it. That's wild. This is like totally ray of hope. Would you buy any of these? Well, that's a lot of money. This is cool. I think this is cool. I like just having it react to me when I talk. I'm gonna set this up in my desk at work. Oh. Yeah. You're like a master computer and Tron. Yeah, when I start speaking, everyone knows. Right. Here's what I like about these though, is I never wanted a smart bulb, but I like functional lights that do cool things and add something to your space. Like if I'm spending that more, if I'm spending more money, I want it to look cool. And I want it to do something different than just a regular light. Prada Bass, is this just a video or are the panels lag when they change colors? I don't know what's going on on your side of this experience. It doesn't feel that light. No, I don't think it is. I think when you actually play music, it gets weird. Wait, go over there and do like the snap or something. I don't know if it's in visual. I think I might've just turned it off the visualizer mode. No, we were playing with it earlier. It seems pretty awesome. But these look good. They do look good. My favorite thing is that both companies suggest that you stick these on your wall using 3M, command strips. Of course. Which feels precarious. Paul, everyone thinks you did a good job singing. Oh, thank you. They want your sound club. Paul does an amazing karaoke. I was hoping you would do your Taylor Swift. Yeah, same. I've heard you sing Romeo and Juliet several times. The song's called Love Story. Whatever it's called. Whatever, I don't know. That's his signature track. I don't know anyone with Taylor Swift. Sure, sure you do. I don't listen to that song every day. Sure you do. Which one of these is the one to get? Is there any other? Definitely. Nanoleaf. I think if you want to go for the party route, I actually have really enjoyed my time with The Soul. Again, if they just got rid of Alexa, made it a little bit cheaper, I would legit buy it. Because I liked it. I think it's a cool piece for your house. Put it right next to your Dyson fan. Yeah, I put it by my circular mirror and it looks great. Well, I for one cannot wait for my daughter to be a teenager so I can buy these. The coolest dad. We have 13 years to go. That's gonna be great. We are gonna watch a quick video of Dan Seifert with the phone. With the S9, which I know what you're all here for. Ask your questions about the phone and then Haim's gonna join us. We're gonna talk about the one year anniversary of the Switch. We're gonna answer your S9 questions and we're gonna look at a bunch of Switch accessories. So check this out. Thank you very much, Ashley. Hey, this is Dan from The Verge and this is the new Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9 Plus from Samsung. Now, if you're looking at these, you probably think they look pretty familiar and that's because they do. They basically look exactly like the Galaxy S8 from last year, except for one major difference. We've been complaining about the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S8 since it came out. So for the Galaxy S9, Samsung fixed it and moved it from next to the camera to below the camera, which is way easier to reach, even on the larger model. Now, otherwise, they are very similar in design. You've got a 5.8 inch display on the S9, 6.2 inch display on the S9 Plus. They're still Super AMOLED screens. They still have the same high res displays. They still have the curved sides that Samsung calls this infinity display that spills over the edge. And Samsung has actually made the bezels the same. The bezels are the same size, but they're a little bit better masked than last year's model. So they don't quite stand out as much. You still have the power button on the side. You got the volume rocker over here. And then of course, there's the Bixby button that hasn't gone anywhere. And on the bottom, there's still the headphone jack, which you get on both models. A lot of the new things you can't actually see, but they are appreciated. It's got stereo speakers now. So the earpiece speaker works in conjunction with the bottom speaker to produce stereo sound. The camera has been new and improved. I'll get into that in a minute. It's got a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor inside of it. There's four gigabytes of RAM in the small model. There's six gigabytes of RAM in the bigger model. 3000 milliamp hour battery here, 3500 milliamp hour battery here. Both of them have fast charging. Both of them have fast wireless charging. Both of them have IP68 water and dust resistance. Both of them have 64 gigabytes of storage. Both of them have micro SD card slots and both of them have gigabit LTE. So a lot of those things are familiar to S8 owners. We're back. So I have a question for you. I have an answer for you. Max on Twitter asks, will the Galaxy S9 have a better camera than Pixel 2? I'm just putting you on the spot. So I don't know. I haven't seen the Galaxy S9 yet. Judging based on what Samsung has done with previous phones, my guess is probably not. Even with the aperture stuff, I feel like it's not going to improve things beyond the Pixel 2. Unless Samsung walks back, it's processing. Yeah. I think they're at the point now where they make some of the best hardware. Yeah. A lot of people use their hardware. Right. A lot of people use the same sensors. It's all on the software side. Yeah. Google, I mean, has been dominating the software side for a while. They just need a little toggle button. It says process the hell out of it. Yes or no? All right. Mikano in our chat says, I have an iPhone 6 Plus. I'm dying for a smaller phone. Pixel 2, S9, or iPhone X? Smaller phones. Pixel 2 if you want the camera. Still the best camera out there. Yeah. I don't know where you are. If you are in the States, you're an iMessage person, just get that iPhone X, just slide into that life. Pixel 2 is nice because it's one of the few, typically the big phone gets all the best camera stuff. Google's like, we can do cameras on small phones. But the Pixel 2 also, I mean, the 2XL has kind of the OLED, like the nice edgeless display. The Pixel 2 is like, Yeah. It's really, But we want a small phone. We can't pretend like small phone isn't a valid desire. Okay, so Anthony says, and I think this conversation is interesting because every question we're like Pixel 2. Anthony says, there's just me, there's very little talk about the S9. And I think the answer is yes. Well, they, first off though, they reinvented the phone. That is their tagline. The camera, they reinvented the camera. No. What was the phone? It's the phone. Oh, it's the phone. The video that leaked, it was reinvented the phone. That's a lot of phone. It's a lot. But other than that, they didn't really do a lot. You know, they've got the new Dex thing. Someone asked, where is it? Adam says, coming from stock Nexus, you've got an old phone, dog. Is the Samsung Android experience any better than TouchWiz? Here's what you want to do. You want to load it. Ubuntu Touch on that, right? Right? Get out of the, we have a duopoly here. They're controlling our lives and they're taking all of our data and it's terrible. Dieter's in the chat. He's asking, what color shoes does Bixby wear? Here's the thing I'd like, if you're watching this, whenever you're watching it, in my mind, Bixby, Samsung's assistant, that they have literally made a hardware button on the phone for, is not a voice assistant. It's a dog wearing shoes. So if you could draw a picture of Bixby, like a cartoon mascot for Samsung, send it to me, tweet it to me, tweet it, at Reckless. Next week, we'll show it on the show. The picture has to be family friendly. And the best picture. We'll show them all on the show next week. We got a bunch. What kind of dog are we talking about? And we'll send you something from our new closet if you win. It's up to me. I'm the dictator of this small country. Do we wanna go to the specs? Oh, there's specs, whatever. Whatever, it's an essay with a better camera. We know what's happening. And processor. There's one important thing over here, all right? All right, Snapdragon 835, Snapdragon 835. New year, new Snapdragon. That's it. That's what we're dealing with right now. New year, new Snapdragon. And more RAM. You wait for a refresh. Second camera lens. Don't worry about all this. New year, new Snapdragon. They're slightly heavier. They're slightly heavier. Dimensions are up by like a millimeter or two. People want us to talk about these Nokia phones. There's the new 8810. The Matrix phone? The Matrix phone. Nokia is just cashing in on the nostalgia to hype up the fact that HMD Global licensed the name. And they're trying to build some hype because they're relaunching all these new phones. There's only one true Matrix phone, by the way, which is the one from the second Matrix movie, which is a Samsung phone that looks like a cyborg exploded. I think this is a good time to tell you that we do not discuss any Matrix movies past the first one, which was a pivotal moment in all of our young lives. The other ones happened as well. The first Matrix opened our minds to philosophy of reality and the second and third are what made us grow up and learn that we can't always have nice things. I was like, oh, capitalism. We're just gonna milk this until it's right. Anyway, speaking of that. Speaking of capitalism. So look, we are obviously gonna cover the hell out of the Switch. We're gonna cover the hell out of the S9. That team is still in Barcelona. We're gonna have way more coverage on the site. You can watch Dan's whole video on YouTube. It's already up. Vlad has a piece up. He already has some judgments about the camera. Vlad already has thoughts about the camera. He is already calling it maybe that it's not. So we'll see. So keep tuned for that coverage. We have a bunch of other coverage from MWC, Schenzer Mobile World Congress, people were asking in the chat. Check that all on the site. What I wanna talk about is stuff, actual stuff. Less chat, more. Capitalism. More capitalism. It's the one year anniversary of Switch on Saturday. Huge hit for Nintendo. Games are just coming out as surprises now for the Switch. Like just ports of games. All kinds of games that you would not normally see. And there's like an accessory ecosystem because it's a mobile device. So what do we got, Hyme? All right, we got lots of stuff. First up, this is kind of your basic, most vanilla Switch accessory. This is the pro controller. Everybody's seen this, right? You've seen this, yeah. It's not, it's like weirdly disassociating with the identity of the Switch because when you think of a Switch, you think of the Switch with the bright colors and the slide-off controllers. But Nintendo does make like a regular controller for it. This is like the home console expansion pack. Yeah, this is the alternate universe where this is not the Switch. And this is the controller on the Nintendo. So you're really high on this thing. I am not. I travel with the Switch. Yeah, I almost never use this. I've used my Switch on my TV like three times in the entire year that I've owned it. And two of them were to play Mario Kart with friends. And one of them was to play the Final Bosses. This is definitely great for Mario Kart. But when you're- This is great for Mario Kart if you wanna beat your friends at Mario Kart. Destroy your poor friends. If you want the controller advantage, that's great for that. Here's what I think the Switch is designed for. You turn on one of those new Netflix series that take about six episodes to ramp up into having a plot. And then you play Zelda. And every now and again you check in. You're like, oh, there's still- It's like buffering, it's plot buffering. Yeah, Iron Fist is still walking around doing nothing. All right. I played the first half of Breath of the Wild while trying to watch Iron Fist. It's a true story. It's like, great, he's still, Danny, get to work. I've never heard of the Switch. The Switch has replaced the phone as the Netflix device. You can play Switch while any Netflix series goes. Okay. Yeah, so that's that. So that's for a controller. But what if my Switch runs out of battery? We're actually not out of battery yet. We're gonna try and- We're gonna try- I'm sorry, Paul. We will, we will, I promise. I have battery packs. But our next step is to try and solve one of the Switch's main and biggest flaws, which is the kickstand, which is possibly the worst kickstand ever put on a technology device. First off, what's happening here? So what's happening here, this is a third-party- I'd like to point out the chat is now trolling Dieter and asking if the Switch will run WebOS. You can run Linux. So that's what's happening over here. Paul wrote a piece. Someone has hacked Linux onto a Switch. That's true. You would like it to be vastly less functional. All right, keep going. So this is actually a third-party case. We had this in our GIF guide. If you wanna spruce up your Switch, they have them in all sorts of clear plastic. They also make them for the controllers, but they are much harder to put on. You also have avoided your warranty. But what we're actually looking at here, though, is a metal kickstand. The regular kickstand on the Switch is awful. It is flimsy plastic. It feels good to use. So Nyko, this is literally just a $5 piece of aluminum. It's metal. I just yanked it out of there. And it feels slightly sturdier. I feel like this should be everyone's first like 3D printing project. Yeah. You're like, what? I wanna get into 3D printing. I don't know what to do. It's Switch kickstands. But so here's my thing. So this is the other, this is the stock Switch kickstand. My problem is actually not that it's flimsy. It's that it's like, it pops out of here. You can just, at any time, you can make that go away. Did they solve that problem over here? So no, you can actually just yank it right off. And you can see when you pop this one off. Come on, man. When you pop this one off, you can kind of see, oh, it clicks into this metal thing. And it's just a kickstand. I want everybody to know that every time we demonstrate this, we are just breaking off little pieces of plastic. That's on this one too. It's this little hole. It's metal. Yeah. Because the metal's harder than the plastic. So this one's. You can see that. Yeah. So if you look on our skeleton Switch over here, you can see you're literally just sliding into this giant black chunk of plastic, which is why this falls off every time. And there's nothing really you can do about that. Nintendo just needs to build a better one. Lachlan says, honestly, until the Switch gets Sailfish OS, I'm sleeping on it. That's weird, man. It's hardcore, man. That's weird, man. That is amazing. It's really weeding together all of our needs. I just wish they'd used open BSD instead of free BSD. Oh my god. All right. So what else? So that's the kickstand. Next up is batteries. So Switch is great. You can use it on the go. It gets two, three hours of battery life. But that's not enough to get you through a flight. You know, it runs out. So we have this, which is the Nyko Power Pack, which. So it's a battery case. It's a battery case. Are you kidding? What is this nonsense? It's a chunk of plastic. And we're going to slot this into our chunk of plastic. Why don't you just leave that off? Why do you need that? Because I don't know. I guess it'll fall out. All right. So we're going to. I need the battery to be secure. So it turns on. It actually charges via USB-C, which is wonderful. We're finally getting USB-C accessories. Nyko, in a bold move. Did not use its metal kickstand. Not only did it not use its metal kickstand, the metal kickstand is incompatible with this other Nyko product. It is actually worse than the one on the Switch. They've somehow done it. Scientists have been wondering. How much does this cost? This costs like $34. Scientists have been wondering, could you build a worse kickstand than the Switch? You know what's great about this? Nyko took the challenge. Nintendo, with a lot of help from Nvidia, let's be clear. Nintendo has put basically an Xbox 360 inside of a portable tablet. You can. But they can't make a kickstand. I feel like the people who made this kickstand, like this team was like, I wish those kickstand engineers would come by. We have no idea what we're doing. But surprisingly, this actually delivers enough power to charge the Switch while you're playing games. So this is USB power delivery. Yeah. How much more battery life are you going to get? So you're going to get an hour to two hours extra battery life. But it's kind of small. It slips onto the back of your device. You're not getting through the roof battery. But if you need a couple extra, you get about another extra charge out of it. OK. Now if you need a lot more charge, you want this. This is a full-size Anker USB-C power delivery battery pack. It supports. You can pull it down. You can see it's got the PD logo. It's actually got the PD logo. This is the logo you want in your life, my friends. OK. What is USB PD? Sounds like a police department for USB. I wish there was, because. If you are a TV executive, and you're watching this show, and you've got some money. We have a police procedural for you. USB-C PD. It's just us. Enforce USB-C specs. It's just time. Arresting cable manufacturers again and again and again. Yeah. OK. What is it? What is it actually? USB-C PD is USB-C power delivery, which is one of the subsets of the USB-C spec for power. It supports much higher rates of power than other specs. It can support up to 100 watts. So can I run my MacBook off of that? You can run your MacBook off this. MacBooks use USB-C PD. You can run your Switch off it. And it's something that you're going to want to see for Switch, or basically any USB-C device going forward. Because when the Switch came out, people were kind of surprised. Oh, I was charging my phone just fine, but now I can't charge my Switch with it. Veronica says, I never realized the effort the Surface team put in the kickstand until I saw the Switch. You're right, but also I could tell you the iMac G4 is the best Surface accessory that has ever existed. So you think about it, kickstands, just as an idea. Like, check out a cool guy on a cool bike sometime. Look at the bike, see if he has a kickstand. Never has a kickstand. We're just all in the weeds now. How much is this battery? This battery is $120. Here's my concern. It's a lot. Can you take that on a plane? Because there's a lot. I had an argument with the Away Smart Luggage people yesterday. On Twitter, because Delta is like, take the batteries out of your luggage. Because there's a limit on the size of batteries. The Away suitcase is probably fine. What is the limit? So this is, if you look closely at the fine print over here, this is a 96.48 watt hour battery pack. The limit is 100 watt hours. So this is just under. Right under the wire. So you get this, you can power your Switch, you can power your laptop. Power your Switch, power your laptop. And your phone. Charge your phone. Yep, you got three ports over here. Yeah. When you're also on the go, though, you're going to A, want to recharge this, and B, power your Switch from a wall. You also want one of these, which is a 27 watt anchor. 27? 27. So it's just under the 29. Yeah, the MacBook charger is 29. Yeah. MacBook charger costs $50, though this costs like $30. Come on. If you don't tell anybody that you're doing it, can you still charge your MacBook with it? Yeah. Oh, you can charge the bigger MacBooks that need. Just slowly. It'll charge a little slower. But yeah, I was using my Switch charger to charge my MacBook Pro over the weekend, because I left my charger on my desk. Just like the one time USB-C has come through for me. So it seems like the interesting accessories are all about charging this thing. Yeah. Right? We have a headphone cable over there, which is very entertaining. So this is a life hack for the Switch, because the Switch has USB-C PT, but does not have Bluetooth audio support. So the only way to listen to Switch music, if you want to use your Switch on your TV from a distance, can't use Bluetooth headphones. Well, I'm a long cable. You can unspool this 20-foot cable. Oh my god. And you're golden. Not truly a Switch accessory, just a very circuit breaker move. Yeah. I've got a bunch of cases, ranging from the sock to the case cover. I don't want to talk about this. That thing is nasty. Sock. This is our producers, like Switch Go Bag. I think everyone understands Switch. What is this thing? This is one of my biggest disappointments. This is a Switch third-party Switch dock. This is the regular Switch dock. It's big. It's bulky. I like it. I think it's fun. It does the job. It does the job, but it's a statement to put in front of your TV. There's no like, you can't put this under your TV. You can't put it behind your TV. It's big. This is a third-party one that is much smaller. It offers more ports. Because what is this? It's like a giant chunk of plastic. It's a dongle. Let's look at these ports. Look, this is all that it does. This is the giant dongle. For this huge chunk of plastic, all you're getting is pass-through power, one USB port, and an HDMI port. There's two USB ports on the side. Oh, sorry. Three USB ports. I stand corrected. Only one of them is USB. It's a giant dongle. This is the purest expression of the dongle I've seen. So what do we got here? So this is miniaturized, same port selection, but it's like 1 6th of the size. So is this a real product? Because there's tons of hacks out there. So this is a real product that ships. The problem is that it's not licensed by Nintendo. And there were multiple ports of this irrevocably. Everyone is telling you that you can use USB-C headphones with the Switch. Yes, you can use USB headphones on the Switch. But you can't power. But you cannot use Bluetooth headphones. The only way to use Bluetooth is if you have headphones that have a Bluetooth USB-C dongle and you plug it into the bottom, then you can use Bluetooth audio through the dongle. There is Bluetooth. The controllers connect by Bluetooth. There is Bluetooth on here. It's just Nintendo has blocked it for the headphones. OK, back to this thing. Back to this thing. So the problem is that this has a slight issue where it has damaged some Switches irrevocably and broken them. So that's a bad thing to happen. OK, people are saying, Tebow in the comments says the official doc easily scratches the screen. I've read this everywhere. It's not been the case with my Switch yet. So I know people really care about this. And then Dieter is saying that there is an HDMI dongle called the Fast Snail that works really well. Dieter deeply cares about this. Kenneth says, is Super Mario Odyssey worth buying? Yes. Yes, it's really good. Don't even front. OK, so that goes on there. This, by the way, this terrifies me. This is the company Switch that we've hacked. We're not going to break someone's personal Switch. It's mine. Wait, get the little kickstand. This is horrible. But if you want to take a Switch doc on a go and hook it up to a TV. I just want a dongle. It's not. I hate this. Did you just say that you want a dongle? I don't like this. We've broken the line. This makes me very uncomfortable. Yuck. Right? It's not the worst. It's the worst. Also, because you can, if you want, I'm going to break something doing this. You can use that as a stand and actually see the screen and play Switch while you're charging it like. You got all these kickstands, man. Yeah. It's an option. It's an option. If it didn't break things. Here's what I would say. Looking at all this stuff, it seems like really where you want the action to be is this and in some of these dongles. And it hasn't really developed yet after a year. I mean, it's still only been a year, though. And it's still a very emerging console. USB-C as a spec is still young. And I'm honestly happy that Nintendo went with that instead of just doing their own thing, which they did for years. So they picked a very future standard and it's taking people some time to catch up. Yeah, but it's which is which is such an uncharacteristic Nintendo move to embrace the future ahead of schedule is a company that I still think is honestly not entirely sure how the internet works. I feel like their Game Boy Advance multiplayer cables were somehow associated with the Firewire spec, if I recall. Yes. They're like a weird riff. Yeah. Yeah. But could you use them as a Firewire cable? Absolutely not. Yeah. And therein was the issue. Yeah, so this is good. Yeah, it's progress. We just got to wait for a few more kickstarters to come on through. Giles says the back of my switch is horribly scratched because of the official dock. Yeah, but if the official dock scratches your screen, that's one thing. If this breaks your USB port so you can't charge it, that's a different issue. It's just the life you lead. Yeah. It's just the danger of buying weird unlicensed products. What about this, though? So this is the last one, actually. This is the 8BitO GamePad. This actually connects via Bluetooth, unlike headphones. It connects to the Switch. It's honestly a pretty good portable thing if you want a full gamepad. So the Droidcon, if you want something on the go. It also works with Android, Windows, and Mac. Charges via USB-C. So you got that. See, this is what Apple didn't do with the MacBooks. The Switch only has USB-C, and it's driving USB-C accessories. The MacBooks only have USB-C, and it did nothing. Yeah. So Nintendo is driving the USB-C revolution. It's happening. Apple's driving the USB-C to DisplayPort adapter, dongle industry. Dieter's just up. Dieter's just up in the chat. He would like us to compare, Dieter Bohn would like us to compare this accessory market to the one that existed for the Wii U, which is unfair, because no one bought a Wii U. So there was no market. You couldn't really, the screen had, what, like a 30-foot range on the Wii U? Yeah. So it's not like you're putting that on a carrier case. Yeah, you weren't carrying it around. You weren't taking it outside. What were the spaces? Also, no one bought a Wii U. I bought a Wii U, OK? The best I can think of is the weird Wii Remote accessory market, where you could just get plastic things to slot your remote into. The great thing about the Wii U is it gave me a years-long head start practicing for Mario Kart 8. So when Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out for the Switch, I'm a ringer. I just want to see more battery cases, more battery stuff, because that's really what I need out of this. I want to see kickstands. Kickstands? Kickstands. And then I did buy a screen protector. I know Dieter has a screen protector on his. I think that's the first thing you should buy. If you're going to travel with it. I traveled with mine every day. I don't keep the screen protector. Live life dangerously. Here's my question. Nintendo loves to come out with new slight variations on the DS and the 3DS. They really benefited from the fact that they were using something kind of like mobile hardware. That kept on getting smaller and cheaper, so they were able to come out with better versions. The Switch is basically mobile hardware. Is there going to be a new Nintendo Switch? You can have a mode for better graphics or for longer battery life. I can see it happening. It would be a very Nintendo thing to do. Yeah. All right. Well, we have gone way over because I love talking about this stuff. And there's so much MWC news that we had to bring it all up. But thank you so much for watching. Keep asking your questions. We're doing Ask Zuckerberg every week. So ask those questions. We're saving them. We'll answer the best ones. If you want to draw me a picture of Bigsby. Dog with shoes. Dog with shoes. Samsung's assistant. It's an open question whether it's on two legs with shoes or four legs with shoes. I think the answer is two. But send us photos of Bigsby, your drawings, your conceptualizations of Bigsby. We'll show them on the show next week. Oh, which happens on Tuesday, 4 o'clock at Zuckerberg Live. Thank you so much for watching. We'll be back next week. Thanks, man.<|nl|><|translate|> you you

Hey, I'm Vlad with a verge and this is the iPhone X's notch. So this right here is the Zenfone 5, the brand new flagship smartphone that Asus has just announced and as I say it has the iPhone X's notch. Asus will tell you that it's 26% smaller but it is the iPhone's notch. With the iPhone if you swipe down from the left edge you get one set of notifications and functions. If you swipe down from the right you get the full set of quick settings but otherwise this doesn't have anything comparable to Face ID on the iPhone. All you really have here is a front facing camera, a few sensors as usual that you usually get on a bezel and you do get Face Unlock but it's not as sophisticated as Face ID on the iPhone. Aside from the notch at the top you do also get a bit of a bezel at the bottom unlike the iPhone. With that being said this is still a phone with a very minimal bezel wherever you look. It's got a 90% screen to body ratio. It does actually have an LCD display rather than OLED which is the more popular and high quality display at the moment but I do like it. You know as LCD's go it's a very good one but if you take a look at the back of it, it comes in blue and silver options and it is a fingerprint magnet like most modern smartphones nowadays. This is why you will need as an essential accessory a cuff as I always keep with myself. You can tidy it up nice and clean and then I can show you the new dual camera on the back. Now Asus is doing something with this where they bundled a whole bunch of so called AI features. I don't know how much it really lives up to the quote of an AI and being intelligent but the highlight with this camera for me is that it has 1.4 micron pixels on the inside, 12 megapixel sensor. It also has a wide angle camera which it uses for depth detection for portrait mode. You get 1.4 micron pixels on the ACU 11 which takes awesome photos. Slightly larger than the Google Pixel which again takes awesome photos. So this is promising just in terms of pure image quality and then the AI stuff I guess you can take it or leave it. It's worth pointing out in terms of the display upgrade that Asus has made, this is the Zenfone 4 which is a 5.5 inch screen and the new Zenfone 5 is a 6.2 inch screen and a smaller footprint. So just in terms of Asus devices this is a massive upgrade. This is a full HD plus display, it's got a 19 by 9 ratio which means it's 2000 something times 1080 pixels in terms of resolution. So in terms of the basic specs what you get here is Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 so it's not the flagship tier processor. But that being said there's also Zenfone 5Z which has a Snapdragon 845 and that's going to price at $499 which is quite affordable and going back to the iPhone comparison it's half the price of an iPhone X. That does mean that the Zenfone 5 will be more affordable and Asus is also introducing a Zenfone 5 Lite as well which is going to be even cheaper although that is almost entirely divorced from the Zenfone 5. It has an entirely different design. Still with thin bezels though. It has dual cameras front and back. The final highlight, something that I've tested for myself here at MWC is the speaker on this thing. It has a really loud speaker. It doesn't have that much in the way of bass or high end so it isn't like any sort of audiophile quality but with phone speakers you're really looking for volume rather than anything else and clarity at high volumes and that's what this phone achieves. Also worth mentioning it does still have a headphone jack so congrats to Asus for that. The Zenfone 5 and it's iPhone 18 notch will be available from April but Asus hasn't yet specified a price for it. As I say though the 5Z the high grade model which will be available quite a bit later in June is priced at $499 US dollars. So you can expect the 5 to be a little bit cheaper and the 5 Lite to be a little bit cheaper more. We have a bigger bezel at the bottom than the iPhone. So that's it. Please stay and enjoy the after party.

Hey, this is Sam. I'm at the Camp Nou, FC Barcelona's beautiful stadium, and we are going to see what Huawei claims is the world's first self-driving car powered by a smartphone. They're using the Mate 10 Pro and its Kirin 970 chip, which has AI capabilities inside it. And what they claim is that the processing inside the phone is going to help the car detect and avoid obstacles. Behind the camera there is a Porsche Panamera with a Mate 10 Pro mounted on the dashboard going forwards and backwards and forwards and backwards. Over there, there are a bunch of cardboard cutouts. There's a giant soccer ball, there's a guy with a bike, there's a dog. And on the first run, the Porsche is driving at five miles an hour. And during that time, it's learning to recognize the object. And we are going to say like what to do when it sees the object. Like should it swerve right? Should it make an emergency stop? Or so on. Then on the second run, it's going to drive at 30 miles an hour. It's going to recognize one of the objects, and hopefully if the system works, it will act accordingly. We're waiting for the USB-C connection to work. Story of my life. So yeah, we're sat in this Porsche and it looks pretty much like a normal car. I think that's sort of the point of this demo. Just like the car is not an unusual car beyond the mountain of tech on top of it. It's just a regular car. So the phone isn't acting completely by itself, to be clear. There is a big ski box on top of the car with a bunch of tech in it. There's a whole camera set up. And that's what's sort of acting as the eyes for the phone. It's linked up to the phone via USB-C, but the processing and the recognition is what's happening on the phone. And that's the important thing, Huawei says. So I have everything is set up. The phone has taken control of the engine. Now the phone says your car are ready. Are you? Press drive and enjoy the ride. So let's do that. I feel very ready. We're moving. At five miles an hour. There is nobody next to me. So I guess what's happening right now is the tech above me is viewing all these cardboard images in front of me. And the phone is learning what they are. A bicycle has been detected. Now we're looking at a soccer ball. A ball has been detected. Now most importantly, is it going to detect the dog? A dog has been detected. So our first run has been scuppered because the phone lost its connection to the camera on top of the car because of perhaps a faulty USB-C cable, which we've all been there. We're now on phase two. So if you'd like to press continue. So if you see a bicycle, do you want it to swerve left, swerve right or brake? Let's swerve left. If you see a ball, swerve right. And if you see the dog, let's brake. Okay, very good. So the guy's now going to pick one at random and put it out on track. So if we see the ball, the car's going to swerve right. Very good. Okay, so we're going to get if you'd like to press on me. Okay, we're in gear. I messed up the touch. Whoa, we're going. It's scanning for obstacles. A ball has been detected. Preparing to swerve right. Swerve right. I guess it worked. So Huawei isn't getting into autonomous driving or self-driving cars on a real level. This is really about showing off what its phones can do. Huawei has been talking for a long time about the AI capabilities of its processors. The Kirin 970 is said to have an NPU, a neural processing unit. And this is really just a way to show off how the phone can use its capabilities in a real-time way. The man is going to get some tape. Thank you. Just want to capture how beautiful the camera looks. Which is very beautiful.

This is the Google Clips. It's a $250 smart camera that uses AI to detect and capture important moments in your life. Now if you're a parent or pet owner, you're probably familiar with the frustration of trying to capture great candids of your kids or pets' activities. Or maybe you're familiar with having a ton of photos and video of your family members, but you're not in any of them because you're always the one behind the camera. Now Google thinks Clips can solve that frustration by providing a camera that can do all of the shooting for you. The only problem is, well, the Clips just doesn't really work that well. Yay! No, no! Now at its core, the Clips is a simple, automatic point-and-shoot camera that's similar looking to a GoPro, but it's considerably smaller. It has a fixed focus lens with a 130-degree wide-angle field of view, a single button, and a few LEDs, but no display or user interface of its own. It connects to an iPhone, Google Pixel, or Samsung Galaxy S7 or S8 through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi direct to download the images it captures and control it. But inside is what supposedly makes the Clips special. It's running Google's people detection algorithms to recognize familiar faces and interesting activity, and then capture those moments that you care about automatically. But this is a big but. The Clips isn't recording video or sound. It's technically shooting a bunch of still images at roughly 15 frames per second, which it then stitches into seven-second clips from which you can edit or pull stills out of. It's basically making high-resolution GIFs out of the sequences of images. Now you can use the big button on the front of the camera to force a capture, or you can use the app on your phone to see what the camera is viewing and take shots there. But the whole point of Clips is to let the camera and Google's algorithms do all of the heavy lifting, so you can just enjoy your time and then look at the memories it captures later on. Now to facilitate this, the Clips comes with a silicone case that makes it easy to prop up almost anywhere, or yes, you can clip it to things. But it's not designed to be a body camera. You're supposed to just set it down and leave it alone, for the most part. There are other accessories you can buy, like this case that lets you mount the Clips to a tripod for more positioning options. But otherwise, using the Clips is as simple as turning it on and then putting it where you want it. You can adjust the frequency of captures in the Clips app, and you can also train it with people that matter to you by linking it with your Google Photos account. The Clips camera is supposed to learn the faces of important people by who it's exposed to most often. But by using the photos data, it's supposed to speed things along. You can also push the button on the front of the camera to take a direct portrait of someone that you want the Clips to prioritize. Now Google takes all of that data and then tries to figure out whenever your kids are in the frame and doing something interesting or photogenic, like say, dancing or smiling, and then automatically capturing a Clip. Now pets work a little differently. Because Google's camera algorithms can't actually tell these individual dogs apart, it basically just looks for any time it has an animal in the frame and then opens its shutter. Now Google stresses all of this is happening locally on the Clips camera itself. Nothing is happening in the cloud, and in fact, the Clips doesn't even have a way of connecting to the internet. Good boy, good boy, good boy. Now once the camera has captured a bunch of Clips, you use the app to browse through them on your phone. You can edit them down to shorter versions, grab still images out of them, or just save the whole thing to your phone storage for sharing and editing later. The Clips app is supposed to learn based on which Clips you save and deem important, and then prioritize capturing similar Clips in the future. You can also hit a toggle to view suggested Clips for saving, which is basically what the app thinks you'll like out of the Clips it has captured. I've been testing the Clips with my two kids for the better part of the past week, and while I appreciate what Google's trying to do here, I can't say that I'm terribly impressed or happy with the results. I'm used to being the one to take the photos of my family, whether they're candid or posed moments, which means it's been very hard to trust that the Clips camera is going to do what I normally do. For example, I found it wasn't taking shots all that often, so I tweaked the settings in the app to increase its frequency, but it still seems to be very conservative with what it will actually capture. Google says that the Clips is supposed to let you not worry about taking photos and videos, and just let you enjoy your time with your family. But it also admits that putting the Clips in one spot and leaving it there isn't ideal either, you really have to move it around and put it in different places and angles to get the best results. Frankly, at that point, I might as well just be using my phone. On top of that, the Clips camera hardware just isn't very good. The images it captures are flat, grainy, and often have a lot of motion blur, especially indoors where I'd use it the most. The 15 frames per second animations don't really make for smooth video, and I actually miss the sound from many of the Clips. At the end of the day, there just weren't any Clips that I felt were better or more authentic than I could capture with my phone, and in most cases, the image quality was bad enough that I had just wished I used my phone to begin with. Now, I'm sure I could get better at using this. I could use and practice and get a better idea of its ultra-wide angle field of view, find the best angles and positions it works for, and so on. But I'm not convinced that the effort involved here would be rewarded with really great results. And that makes it tough to justify buying and using the Clips camera. Beyond its cost, there's also having to bring it along, make sure it's charged, and then go through transferring its images to my phone, when I could just use the phone I already have and get better images and video to begin with. But Google's definitely onto something here, and I hope it's eventually able to make it easier to capture pictures of my kids in the future. But right now, the Clips just isn't doing it. Yay! Oh my God!

Hey, I'm Vlad with The Verge here at MWC 2018 and in front of me is a stack of new Chromebooks from Lenovo. First of all, there's the Lenovo 100e Chromebook which is $219. Then there's the Lenovo 300e Chromebook which is $279. And finally there's the Lenovo 500e Chromebook which is $349. So all of these are super affordable and just looking at them, they're big and chunky and kind of hard to distinguish just from the outside. But there are pretty cool features on the inside which make them stand out and actually make me excited. I didn't anticipate that I'd be getting excited about Chromebooks here at MWC which is traditionally a phone show. So the 100e is the entry level model and it has the basic features across this entire series which is that it's designed to be used and abused in schools. It has a spill proof keyboard, it has a pry proof keyboard so you can't tear it open. It has a drop resistant design up to 30 inches which I'm European, I don't know exactly what that means but it makes really rugged and solid laptops. One thing I really enjoyed about all three of these laptops is also the keyboard. It's an 11.6 inch screen on the inside and there's just a really beautiful keyboard in there with lots of key travel. So all of these things are great but the 100e has a really terrible screen. It has really awful viewing angles so I wouldn't recommend it. I would step up to the 300e A for the better display and B for the fact that it also flips out in a yoga style hinge which is kind of a Lenovo signature and C, you can take notes with a pencil and I literally mean a HB pencil. It's been designed to be used with a regular pencil. It doesn't leave any marks on the screen. It's really cool, really convenient and again with the application, the intended application for schools, it fits in really nicely. You'll be using this pencil in school. Another difference between the 100e and the 300e is that you have a MediaTek processor in the 300, Intel Celeron in the 100 and the 300 also has a full SD card slot whereas the 100 and the 500 makes you with a micro SD. So the 500e, just like the 300e, is designed to take notes on with a pen but it comes with its own stylus and the experience of actually using it is significantly better. So the difference is you can't use a regular pencil to take notes on this laptop but it is pretty much lag free. So it tracks you perfectly as you go along. There is almost no delay. There's always some delay but there's almost no delay between the line showing up on the screen and the stylus and the gesture on the screen. There's plenty of lag on the 300 and the 300 also doesn't have palm rejection which the 500e does. So I've been playing around with it here at MWC and I've loved it, like doodling, taking notes and everything else and I don't really love the screens on any of these laptops but it's perfectly fine to do that kind of note taking and just messing around with which you know, given the price, is really nice. I do also want to return to the keyboard which is just so much key travel and it's just such a pleasure to type on. As I say, MWC is usually a phone show. We're not used to looking at a whole bunch of laptops and especially not Chromebooks of this size and design. I mean these are really chunky and not the most attractive things in the world but I think that Lenovo has gotten the basics and the fundamentals down really well with these devices and given their affordable prices, they're just super attractive. Lenovo has got USB-C charging across all of these so it's standardized, it's compatible with most of your other devices, you've got expansion of storage, you've got regular USB ports, all of the ports are reinforced, the design is reinforced, the 300 and 500 have this flipping hinge which is also reinforced so you get plenty for your money. Now in terms of availability, the 100D will be available in March and the 300D and the 500D are going to be available pretty much straight away directly from Lenovo. Thanks for watching, be sure to subscribe to The Verge and tune into TheVerge.com.

Hey, it's Chris Walter, the Verge here at Mobile World Congress 2018, and these are Sony's newest phones, the Xperia XZ2 and the Xperia XZ2 Compact. Now, we've seen years of Sony recycling the same design year after year after year. Big bezels, fingerprint magnets, things like that. This year, they're putting effort back into their phones again. Will it make a difference? I'm not sure, but it's a pretty promising start. Now, let me make this clear. The XZ2 still has larger bezels around the screen than other flagship phones do. They're still big enough for Sony to fit its name on the front of the thing, but they're less blocky and distracting than before. And the screen itself feels more modern thanks to its 5.7-inch 18 by 9 display with a resolution of 2160 by 1440. There are front-facing stereo speakers at the top and bottom, and there's a nice metal frame running around the whole phone. The USB-C jack is on the bottom, volume and power buttons on the side, and a SIM card slot up top. That also supports microSD cards if the 64 gigs of built-in storage aren't enough. But if you're looking for a headphone jack, you won't find one. Sony is following the herd and getting rid of it altogether, probably hoping they're going to buy their wireless headphones instead. Overall, though, this phone feels very premium, and it's water-resistant and supports fast wireless charging. From the back, the XZ2 kind of strikes me as very HTC, with its camera and fingerprint reader both centered in the middle. That main camera is still 19 megapixels. Sony claims this is the very first phone that can capture 4K video in HDR. And you can even record slow-mo footage at 960 frames per second in full HD 1080p. That's pretty cool. Also, Sony's 3D Creator app can now scan in a 3D model of your face using the selfie camera up front. And yes, there's now a dedicated fingerprint reader. For its last several phones, Sony designed the power button to double as a fingerprint reader. But for some terrible reason, the company disabled that feature here in the US. We've been stuck using the old-fashioned PIN code all this time. But now everybody gets a fingerprint scanner, and it's in the right spot. Now, inside the XZ2 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, the latest, greatest processor that's ready for 5G gigabit data speeds. It's 25% faster than last year's Snapdragon 835, and has a GPU that's up to 30% more powerful. But a lot of phones are going to have this same chip in 2018. So Sony put something else inside the XZ2 to help it stand out more. It's called a dynamic vibration system, and the tagline is that it helps you feel your entertainment. So the phone will vibrate and rumble when you're listening to music on Spotify, watching trailers on YouTube, streaming Netflix, or playing games. You can adjust the intensity or just turn it off if you don't want your phone to vibrate all the time. Sony isn't yet telling us when the XZ2 comes out or how much it's going to cost. But you can get it in black, green, silver, or pink. There's a smaller version coming, too. That's the XZ2 Compact. It's got a 5-inch screen and the same powerful Snapdragon 845 inside. But it's got a plastic back, loses that fancy vibration system, and doesn't support wireless charging. Now, I'm not sure if these phones are enough to reverse Sony's smartphone fortunes. Probably not. Sony barely exists in the U.S. mobile market. Carriers like Verizon and AT&T stopped selling their phones years ago. But at the very least, it's nice to see a fresh design, small bezels, and a fingerprint sensor. There are plenty of awesome phones here at MWC 2018. And for all the latest news on all of those, check out youtube.com slash theverge.

Hey, this is Jake with The Verge, and we're here with Lenovo's new Yoga 730, which I have right here in front of me, and the Flex 14. The Yoga 730 comes in two models, a 13-inch that I have here and a 15-inch model. They are pretty identical to last year's 720, but there are some slight design tweaks kind of all over it. There is a really nice change in back here. We have these rounded edges which look much more modern and sleek, and this angular design on the hinges. Also, since it's a Yoga, you can, of course, flip it around into tablet mode, but there's a nice difference for when you hold it in one hand. There's an angle here now, too, which makes it a little bit easier when you're holding it one-handed, and yeah, it's a little bit easier, so that's nice. But otherwise, the hardware is pretty much the same. There's still no Windows Hello camera, but there is a fingerprint reader. I also really love this copper color, but unfortunately, it's only available in Europe. In the US, you're only going to get gray and silver, which everybody has a gray and silver laptop. The computers start around $900. For that price, you'll get an 8th Gen i5 processor and a 1080p display, but you can also spec them way up. You can go up to an i7 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM. On this model, you can also get a 512-gigabyte SSD, and on the 15-inch, you can go up to a 1-terabyte SSD and add in a GTX 1050 GPU, which would be great if you're doing some serious video editing or even some gaming. Lenovo's estimating around 11 hours of battery life on the 1080p model, and one thing that is really cool this year is that Lenovo has built Alexa into these laptops. They have far-field mics, and when you have the laptop open and you have to be logged in, you'll be able to say Alexa and get your answers. So you can choose between Alexa and Cortana if you want. It's basically just Amazon's app built in, but it's pretty cool that they have built the hardware into this so that you can use Alexa properly. The computers have a mix between USB-C and USB-A ports. They support rapid charging, and they're gonna be available in April. It's a really nice-looking computer, and the real difference between this and the higher-end 900 series model is mostly the design, and the design of this is pretty nice as it is. If you're willing to spec it up, you can get a pretty good laptop inside this shell. One area it would have been nice to see Lenovo change this a bit is the display. While the display looks pretty good, it has a really large bezel on the bottom, and it's too bad because it would have been nice to see them bring that down a bit and give us a different aspect ratio with a bit more screen space. In addition to the Yoga 730, Lenovo is also announcing the Flex 14, which I have here. In Europe, the Flex 14 is actually gonna be known as the Yoga 530, which is a little bit confusing but also is kind of helpful because it lets you know that this is a little bit below the 730 as far as specs and build quality go. That's basically what you're getting. This is a very similar design to the 730, very similar specs if you pay enough, but you're not getting all the same features. You don't have Alexa, you don't have far-field mics, and the build quality is not quite as nice, but you do still see some of the changes here. You have these more rounded edges here and the sloped hinge. One thing that I don't like about this computer already is that it is extremely hard to open. You definitely can't do it with one finger, and I really have to get my fingernail in there and kind of pry it open. It's a little bit of a workout. It's like doing one of those hand-squeezy things. It's very strange, but you do get more ports in this laptop. You have USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and a full-size SD card slot, which is pretty nice. This laptop is going to start in the $500 range. We don't know exactly the specs that you're going to get for that price, but if you're willing to pay more, you can spec it up to an 8th Gen i7 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM. You can even add a GeForce MX130 GPU. Unfortunately though, you're going to be stuck with the 1080p display. Just like the 730, the Flex 14 will be available in April.

Recently, Vivo announced the first phone with an in-display fingerprint sensor, which means that you can touch screen and lock your phone just like that with no need for a separate reader anywhere else on the phone. This week at Mobile World Congress, Vivo is taking that idea to the next level. This is a concept phone called Apex, and the big thing with Apex is that the in-display fingerprint scanner is way bigger. Vivo calls it a half-screen scanner. It's not quite half the screen, but it's still pretty big. About this area here, the size of the screen, it's all an in-display fingerprint scanner. You can put your finger right onto the screen, and it unlocks the phone. So why do you want a fingerprint scanner inside the screen? Well, modern phones, the bezels around the screen are getting a lot smaller, and these are probably the smallest I've seen on any phone. Around these three sides, it's 1.8 millimeters, and this is 4.3. So the whole reason to have a fingerprint scanner inside the display is to enable these kind of skinny, thin bezels that we're seeing on modern smartphone designs. You can, of course, just put the fingerprint reader on the back, but a lot of people prefer to have it on the front. So a bezel design with an in-display fingerprint scanner lets you get there. But without bezels around the screen, where do you put the selfie camera? Well, Vivo has a pretty neat solution for that, actually. So the regular cameras are on the back, as you'd expect, but if you want to take a selfie, you switch the camera, and this cute little guy pops up. It makes a bit of a noise, and it takes about a second to pop up, like a little bit less. But it's kind of cute. It's a neat solution. So another thing that Vivo has to find space for on a phone without any bezels is the earpiece speaker for phone calls. There's a regular speaker at the bottom of the phone, but if you want to make phone calls, you have to make use of Vivo's screen technology, where they actually vibrate the screen itself to make it usable as an earpiece. I'm listening to a demo call now. It sounds okay. It's not the world's most incredible-sounding earpiece, but it does the job. So there's no pricing or release date or anything like that for the Apex. It's completely a concept. Vivo is not committing to releasing it on the market in any form. That being said, as a concept, it does seem pretty plausible, and everything seems to work. The earpiece speaker, the selfie camera are both neat solutions. The fingerprint sensor itself is pretty effective. It's not quite as fast as the traditional one, but it does work. As to where things could go after this, Vivo has said that it wants to reduce this bezel even further. Vivo says that if it could get this one down to 1.8 millimeters, it would be over 98% screen-to-body ratio, and the company thinks that at that point, you could truly call it a bezel-less phone. So all of this seems fairly plausible at this point in time. It is a concept, but I wouldn't be surprised to see things like the half-display fingerprint sensor and the pop-up selfie camera appear in phones over the next year or two. Well, Vivo has thought of that, and there you go. It was already on the other camera. I didn't have to... It ruined my dramatic reveal. If you open the camera... Why?

It's an exciting time to be at Mobile World Congress. Today, we are unveiling a new Galaxy smartphone with powerful software and services to manage every facet of your connected life. A smartphone that includes the new SmartThings app to provide a unified and easy way to control all your SmartThings devices. A smartphone that lets you share images and videos across your Smart TV and Family Hub refrigerator. And a smartphone with Samsung Health to help you live a better, healthier life. We are adding an advanced optic sensor to track how hard your heart is working. And we are partnering with the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine for the first research program to use this sensor to measure blood pressure. At Samsung, we believe it's time for a new kind of phone, not just a great smartphone that takes good pictures. A breakthrough camera that sees the world clearly in any light. Built around an amazing smartphone. I'm thrilled to unveil the first smartphone built for the way you use your phone today. And the only smartphone with the power to help you reimagine how you will experience the world tomorrow. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus. When we released the Infinity Display, most people had never seen anything like it. Its groundbreaking design offered more screen in less space and quickly set a new industry standard. With the S9, we've built on this foundation, taking the same immersive end-to-end display and refining it even further. We've created a design so sleek and unified you can hardly tell where the screen ends. And as always, you know, there's no notch. The Galaxy S9 comes in four stunning colors. Now once you have your badge out, make sure you take your phone out too. I know we usually ask you to put phones down, but this time bring it out and open the unpacked app on your phone. There's a little button in the corner that says AR, click that. Now scan your badge facing you there with your phone. And as you do that, what's going to happen is your badge is going to transform into the Galaxy S9 right there in your hands. Now in case you haven't figured it out yet, you can flip over your badge and now you can look at the back of the phone. Now when you do this, this is when you need to check out all the colors. So at the bottom you can select colors, pick your favorite one. Of course, you've got to check out the lilac purple. So from front to back and outside in, this device is designed for the visual and social generation. And to create the S9, we completely reimagined the camera and built an amazing phone around it to create the ultimate tool for communication and self-expression. At Samsung, we've always been committed to leading the industry with our camera technology. The Galaxy S9 has a dual aperture smartphone camera that's actually designed to work like the human eye. If it's bright outside, the camera will automatically use a smaller aperture. And when it gets dark, the camera switches over to a wider aperture. In fact, the widest ever included in a smartphone. With the S9, we've integrated a DRAM memory chip directly into the camera. It's part of our new Super Speed Dual Pixel Image Sensor. Our DRAM memory chip powers the S9's all new Super Slow Mo experience. With Super Slow Mo, you can record videos at an incredible 960 frames per second. Video on the left is normal slow mo. The one on the right is super slow mo on the Galaxy S9 camera. So you can set your slow mo video as your lock screen to give your infinity display a unique personal touch. The S9 Plus comes with both a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens. And it has optical image stabilization in both lenses. So you can take clear focus shots. With live focus, the S9 Plus lets you take beautiful portraits by adjusting the blur of the background to make the subject really stand out. You can use all these incredible new camera features no matter where life takes you. Because of course, the S9 is protected from the elements with water and dust resistance. Dual aperture for amazing shots day and night. A new super speed image processor for epic super slow mo videos. And a powerful dual camera on the S9 Plus. You can use either your front or back camera to map your unique facial features and expressions. And create emojis that actually look like you. It's amazing right? The really cool thing with AR Emoji is that it's super simple and easy to create them and personalize them. Go to AR Emoji. Create my emoji. And now use the front facing camera to take a photo. It's actually as simple as taking a selfie. Remove my glasses so it gets a clear view of my face. There we go. Now it's taking my image and creating my AR Emoji. And there it is. Alright, alright, wait, wait. It's a bit generous with the hair. So all we do is open up the camera. Go to AR Emoji. Create my emoji. And now use the front facing camera to take a photo. It's actually as simple as taking a selfie. Remove my glasses so it gets a clear view of my face. There we go. Now it's taking my image and creating my AR Emoji. And there it is. Last year we introduced Bixby, our artificial intelligence platform that helps you do more with your phone. Let's say you want to translate a foreign language. Now Bixby uses AR to show you search results in real time. Just hold up your camera and Bixby will automatically detect the language and translate it for you live. So first open up the camera. Then I choose Bixby. Then you select text search. Hmm, I wonder what Bakalaw Al Orno could be. You hold it up. And Bixby will translate it for me live. Fake card. Sounds good. Your camera can identify what food is on your plate and log the nutritional information directly into Samsung Health. So you don't have to spend ages adding it manually. Thanks to our partnerships with leading cosmetics brands, Sephora, CoverGirl and Amore Pacific, Bixby lets you try on makeup virtually. The S9 will also be compatible with Google AR Core. The S9 at 5.8 inch and the S9 Plus at 6.2 inch. And they look great too. The S9 features speakers on both ends of the device. They're the loudest ever in a Galaxy phone. Dolby Atmos takes advantage of the S9's new stereo speakers to move sound all around you in three dimensions. So you can fully lose yourself in the film you're watching. The S9 is powered by one of the most advanced chip sets on the market. We're constantly improving the entire multitasking experience. When you get a notification, you can just drag it down and open it in a new window right on top of the current one. So you can respond to a message without interrupting the video you're watching. Our home screen now supports horizontal orientation. So when you're switching between apps, you don't have to keep flipping your phone around. Today, Samsung Pay is available in 20 markets. And we are continuing to expand to make the mobile payment even more accessible. And Samsung SmartThings, we brought one of the largest IoT ecosystems under a single umbrella. So controlling the most important devices in your life is as easy as flipping a switch. From our software APIs all the way down to our chip sets, security is integrated throughout our devices with Samsung Knox. And Knox has received more government security approvals and top rankings from industry analysts than any other platform. DeX lets power your PC-like environment straight from your phone. Users and companies love DeX, so we made it even better. We've introduced a brand new DeX pad and Knox integration to create a seamless experience for IT managers. And services like Samsung DeX are among the most exciting frontiers of technology. Every day, Bixby is learning and getting better while our engineers push the boundaries of mobile intelligence to the next level. We will be sharing very exciting news about Bixby later this year, so please stay tuned. We are very excited by the new Galaxy S9. And more exciting news. You can check it out starting on March 16th when it's available in retail stores. If that's too long to wait, you can pre-order at Samsung.com and our partner retail stores.

Hey, it's Jake from The Verge, and we have Nokia's re-released Matrix phone. They have updated the classic phone from the 90s, the slider, the banana phone, for 2018. It now has LTE. It has a larger screen, but otherwise it's pretty much the same form factor. This shape is pretty ridiculous in 2018, but it works. There is a ton of nostalgia here, and having wanted one ever since I saw the Matrix, I love the fact that HMD Global, which now makes Nokia phones, is bringing it back. I think they're entirely relying on that nostalgia for this thing to sell, but I absolutely don't care. I buy into it in this case. The device is going to sell for under $100, and basically HMD says that there is still over a billion people who are using feature phones, and they think that through some combination of nostalgia, Nokia's recognizable brand name, and just being one of the few people still making decent feature phones, it can actually get some people to buy this thing. So obviously the big deal here is the design. It has this curved shape on the outside, which is part of what gives it the banana phone nickname. Also, it comes in yellow, as well as a black color. There is a headphone jack on top, charges over micro USB, and there's a two megapixel camera on the back. I've already taken a photo with it, and I can tell you it is terrible. This slider is not exactly great, but it's not about whether it's good or bad. It's about the fact that it was in the Matrix 20 years ago, and you know what? That is probably enough. You have to use a directional pad to navigate the interface. You have to use T9 to type, and I have to say, going back after a decade on smartphones is a real wake-up call as to how not great that experience was. It's kind of usable if you're just navigating the menus, but the buttons are really tiny and hard to use. It's hard to quickly get around the interface. You can actually get into a web browser here and navigate things. You'll control a cursor with the D-pad. So even though you can't get Android apps, there is still an app store, and Nokia has partnered with a bunch of companies to fill it with some popular apps. So there's going to be Twitter, there's going to be Facebook. There's even going to be a whole suite of Google apps, including the Google Assistant. We're not really sure what that experience is going to be like, but the intention really seems to be bridging the gap between a feature phone and a smartphone by offering at least some of the functionality. There is a two-megapixel camera on the back of this thing, and I have to tell you, it is really not good. It is exactly like the last time you used a feature phone. Everything is just big, blocky, chunky, pixelated mess. I guess it's there because it has to be, but don't take pictures with this and expect much. And of course, this is a Nokia phone, and so there's Snake. I have to tell you, I've accidentally launched Snake five times while filming this video. It takes a lot of work to quit Snake. This phone also has LTE, and while that might seem kind of useless on a feature phone, it can also be used as a hotspot, which I guess would be a little bit more handy. It's also going to allow it to work on more cell networks around the world, and this one is actually destined for Europe. You're going to be able to buy it in May for 79 euros. There's also going to be a dual SIM model, which will probably cost a little bit more. Thanks for watching. For more, check out theverge.com, and be sure to subscribe at youtube.com slash theverge. What if I didn't? What if I just described the scene in detail based on memory? Okay, so first...

Hey, this is Dan from The Verge, and this is the new Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9 Plus from Samsung. Now if you're looking at these, you probably think they look pretty familiar, and that's because they do. They basically look exactly like the Galaxy S8 from last year, except for one major difference. We've been complaining about the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S8 since it came out. So for the Galaxy S9, Samsung fixed it and moved it from next to the camera to below the camera, which is way easier to reach, even on the larger model. Now otherwise, they are very similar in design. You've got a 5.8 inch display on the S9, 6.2 inch display on the S9 Plus. They're still super AMOLED screens. They still have the same high res displays. They still have the curved sides that Samsung calls this infinity display that spills over the edge. And Samsung has actually made the bezels the same. The bezels are the same size, but they're a little bit better masked than last year's models, so they don't quite stand out as much. You still have the power button on the side, you've got the volume rocker over here, and then of course there's the Bixby button that hasn't gone anywhere. And on the bottom, there's still the headphone jack, which you get on both models. Now a lot of the new things you can't actually see, but they are appreciated. It's got stereo speakers now, so the earpiece speaker works in conjunction with the bottom speaker to produce stereo sound. The camera has been new and improved, and we'll get into that in a minute. It's got a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor inside of it. There's 4GB of RAM in the small model, there's 6GB of RAM in the bigger model. 3000mAh battery here, 3500mAh battery here. Both of them have fast charging, both of them have fast wireless charging, both of them have IP68 water and dust resistance. Both of them have 64GB of storage, both of them have microSD card slots, and both of them have Gigabit LTE. So a lot of those things are familiar to S8 owners. But the big difference that Samsung is touting this year is the cameras. And you can see on the S9 it has a single camera, and on the S9 Plus it now has a dual camera, which is very similar to the Note 8's dual camera. So it's got a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens which lets you get closer to your subject or do different types of blurring, what Samsung calls live focus effects. On both models you do have a new variable aperture lens, which means that the aperture on the camera goes from 1.5, which is brighter than last year's phone and one of the brightest lenses on the market, and you can close it down to f2.4 if you're in a very bright environment, if you're outdoors, sunlight, and you've got too much light, you can shut down the aperture for better quality photos there. You can do that automatically through the Samsung's camera app, or if you go into the Pro mode you can actually switch between the two, which is pretty neat. This is the first phone we've seen with a mechanical, physically changing aperture, which is very interesting. It is locked at 1.5 or 2.4, it doesn't do any values in between, but it still is more than pretty much any other phone offers you. In terms of the camera quality itself, it's still a 12 megapixel sensor, but Samsung says it now has next generation dual pixel autofocus, so it's got faster, more reliable autofocus, it does more processing on chips, so you get better noise reduction than the prior generation, up to 30% so in certain situations. And then the other features that are new are on the video side. It can shoot 240 frames per second slow motion like it could do last year, but now it can do up to 960 frames per second at 720p for short bursts for a super slow motion mode. Now Samsung says that the S9 is going to have better low light performance thanks to improved multi-frame noise reduction algorithms where it combines multiple frames together to reduce the amount of noise in the actual image. We're going to be testing this out once we have a review in it, but so far the early impressions are pretty promising. Now the camera app has also been redesigned, so it's a little bit easier to use. You can switch between modes by just swiping, which is way easier than Samsung's older user interface, and you can quickly switch there. There is of course the pro mode which gives you full manual controls over white balance and aperture and shutter speed and such. So the other thing that's new in the camera is Samsung's new AR emoji, which is basically its take on the iPhone's Animoji feature. It creates a 3D animated image based on 100 points of your face when you look at the camera, and it then turns that into animated GIFs that you can share through the camera app in various messaging apps. You can also customize the appearance, so you can change the hair color, add glasses, change the outfit, and do these other things that you can't quite do with Animoji. It's not quite the exact same thing, but it provides a very similar effect. Samsung has also improved and upgraded its flagship features like Bixby, which has a new user interface design, it has a couple of new features. It can also take a picture of food and estimate its calorie count that you can then link to S-Elf as well. Samsung's also upgraded the DeX feature, which lets you use your phone as a full desktop environment with various open apps and things like that. It used to be using a docking station with the Galaxy S8, now it has a new accessory called the DeX Pad, which is basically a flat pad and lets you use the phone as a track pad or keyboard if you don't happen to have an external mouse or keyboard with you. Now there's a lot more in the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus that we'll be diving into as we spend more time with the devices, but initially it's going to be available for pre-order on March 2nd, it'll be shipping on March 16th. It's going to come in three colors in the US, black, purple, and blue, and the pricing should be about the same as the Galaxy S8.

Hello from fake business class I am here with the Huawei MateBook X Pro. Now there are two really interesting and cool things about this laptop and I promise I will tell you them but first we're going to get through the boring things. There is a USB-A port, there are two USB-C ports, inside there are core i5 or i7 8th gen processors, there's a MX150 discrete GPU from Nvidia, it pretty much looks a lot like a MacBook Pro it even has the same weird cursor keys and speaker layout and it even comes in space gray so make of that what you will but there are some cool things about it. Number one just look at the screen I mean the bezels on this thing are absolutely tiny Huawei says the screen to body ratio is 91% which is higher than any laptop I've ever heard of even on the bottom it's a very very small bezel which is something where a lot of laptop makers slip up and since there is no giant bezel on the bottom you may be wondering where is the webcam well that brings me to point number two where do you think it is it's actually it's actually here it's hidden in this key and if I press the key it pops up there's your webcam. Now I'm just gonna say straight up that this is not a great angle for a webcam I am looking at the camera mode here so when I'm sitting in a natural position I have a great view of my chest and my shoulders and like maybe the bottom of my chin so you kind of need to like maybe you can make it work if you're in business class like this fake plane but I think if you're well if you're using a web webcam on an economy plane I'm not sure what you're doing in the first place but it's not gonna work in a lot of situations is what I'm is what I'm saying but yeah it's if nothing else it is a neat design like because it looks you would have no idea that there was a webcam in here it's perfectly integrated into the function row of keys and it's a neat solution not sure how practical is but it's a neat solution so yeah this is looking like a pretty solid laptop overall it feels good the build quality is very solid the design is a little less derivative when you close it because it has this whole wedge thing going on the keyboard is pretty good the travels not super high but I think you can get used to it same with the trackpad which is very big and pretty responsive screen is great like it's beyond the bezels it's 3,000 by 2,000 resolution so that's that's super high and it makes it a three point three by two aspect ratio which is the same as what you would get on a surface device so no complaints there yeah we'll be spending more time with this laptop in the very near future I will expect it is coming out in Q2 around the world and we only have European pricing right now but it's going for 1499 euros for the lowest end model this guy's filming you there he's being weird get away I don't know maybe anyway we good

Find the difference lad, find the difference. Okay. Here at MWC 2018 LG is getting into the S model game for new phones which means doing a small iterative change to a device we've already seen. So this right here is the LG V30 and this is the LG V30s. If you're not able to spot a difference other than the slightly different silver color that's because there isn't any. These phones are in terms of hardware identical. What we've seen LG do in reality is issue a software update in the form of a hardware launch with this LG V30s. Technically the company is also calling the device the LG V30s ThinQ but I think that's such a terrible name I'm just not gonna repeat it anymore. But what does the LG V30s give us above and beyond the V30? Well one thing, okay far enough to LG, there's more RAM so it goes from 4 gigs to 6 gigs. You get more storage so the options are 64 gigs upgraded to 128, 128 is upgraded to 256. Besides that LG is also giving you a new function called AI CAM. This is done in partnership with IM and they have taken a hundred million photos put them into a machine learning system and trained that so that the AI CAM functionality can detect your scene basically and just set a better color profile color bracketing they call it and make sure that the settings match the scene that you're taking a photo of. One example that LG gave is it makes food look more delicious. I don't know what exactly that entails but that's how LG describes it. I think primarily what it's going to do is make things look a bit more vivid maybe amp up contrast a little bit and it might also help with white balance detection and exposure detection things like that. LG is also adding a new function to the camera which is a bright mode is what LG is calling it and that's actually combining pixels so combines four pixels into one so when you're in really low light situations you take a 4 megapixel photo which is much brighter than the usual 16 megapixel photo so there the trade-off is you lose resolution but you gain brightness in extreme low light situations. Now the thing with both these functions the AI CAM and the bright mode photo they're interesting and it might be compelling for a whole bunch of people but LG has already promised that it's going to be issuing those as a software update for the V30 so in reality the difference between the V30 and V30s is color it's the ability to have a bit more RAM so maybe slightly smoother performance I haven't noticed it myself in playing around with a new phone compared to the old one and more storage you know one of the things that upset me when I was reviewing the original V30 was actually the quality of the display. I talked to LG asked them specifically about the display and the company said that it has not changed at all so having said that the V30s and V30 very similar that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to have a bad phone with V30s and one of the really great strengths of the V30 is the audio system so these phones do still have a headphone jack LG is sticking with a headphone jack and the V30 produced the best audio that I've heard from any smartphone to date. I would have much preferred to see LG do more here you have the Snapdragon 835 processor instead of the 845 which is now available and probably going to be in the new Galaxy S9 and Sony's new flagship and so on. It still has two cameras on the back one is telephoto one is wide-angle I would have liked to see LG do more to upgrade that improve the image quality. What LG has opted to do is go the AI route of having automatic automated scene detection and oh there's another thing which is called LG's Q-Lens which is supposed to allow you to shop by taking photo or something and that does visual shopping connected with Amazon. I tried that with the V30 it offered me iPhone as the auto detected option I flipped the phone around I took a photo of the back of the V30 it started offering me cellphone cases so that Q-Lens functionality I admitted to mention it because I don't really see it as being particularly functional at the moment I'm not able to shop for anything with it. As I say the LG V30 was already a pretty decent phone and the LG V30s is pretty much a reissue of the same thing. What this does signal though is LG's new strategy the company's a new president for its mobile division it's rethinking everything and that's part of the reason why we're not seeing a new G series flagship here at MWC. You could say that the V30s is kind of filling the void of not having a new flagship phone from LG but it also shows that LG is going to iterate faster it will have these S models in the future so its next flagship which might be coming out in June that might be succeeded within six months just as the V30 was succeeded by this V30s model so this is something that I guess we're just going to have to get used to. There's a reissue of the same. Please cut this. This is not what I'm doing please. As I say the LG V30 was already a pretty decent phone and the LG V30s... yeah. That is.

You've probably heard people say that you shouldn't leave your phone plugged in overnight. Doing so depreciates your battery life and makes it age faster. You're killing your battery. I always charge my phone overnight and I always let it reach a full 100% charge. Am I really killing my battery? Am I a murderer? I can't live with this guilt. So I called up some battery experts to find the truth. Daniel Steingart, an associate professor at Princeton University, told me that actually the easiest thing to do is just keep it plugged in all the time, or as much as you can. Did you hear that? I'll say it again, as much as you can. The way he sees it is that we all need our phones ready and charged, so we might as well keep them fully charged forever. Your phone is pretty smart, and its software recognizes when it reaches full charge, so you can't technically overcharge your battery. Problem solved. But not really. I also called Venkat Srinivasan, the director of the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science, and he told me, Don't charge the battery all the way to 100%. Get it up to 90% and then stop it. He never lets his phone reach a full charge. What? He says we should keep our phones between 30 and 80% charge because once they reach 100%, certain reactions occur that degrade the electrolytes and depreciate our batteries. So this is probably where that overcharging myth comes from. Alright, so I went back to Dan and I asked him to clarify. Like Venkat says you're wrong. And Dan told me that both of them are actually right. So awesome. You do damage your battery when you charge it to 100%, but if you're going to that full charge already, keeping it there doesn't harm it. Basically, if you are a normal human who just needs their phone on all the time, feel free to go to 100% and keep it plugged in forever. But if you care a lot about your battery's life, like a lot a lot, or you don't use your phone that much, go Venkat's route and try to keep it in a narrow charging range. I admire your discipline and maybe you'll extend your battery's lifespan. Ultimately though, batteries are meant to be used, and phones are meant to be used too. You don't do any damage by leaving it at 100%. You'll probably replace your phone before your battery totally dies, or in a worst case scenario you replace the battery. That's not so bad. Okay, glad we settled this. Go live your truth. Keep it 100%. Bye bye.

We all know what Apple's AirPods are, and if you haven't tried them yourself, you've at least seen a lot of people walking around wearing them. In fact, you might think they're the only completely wire-free earbuds out there, but over the past couple years, other companies have been getting in the game too. Like Bose, which is obviously a leader in high-end audio gear. And Samsung, which makes really, really nice phones. Which is why you should buy their headphones. If you have something hanging out of your ear. These are the Samsung Gear IconX Wireless Headphones. The second generation of IconX's, right? Because the first generation had crummy battery life. As I was going to say, these cost $160. These are the Bose SoundSport Free. They cost $200, so they're a little bit more expensive, but sometimes you have to pay for good sound quality. Sure. Here's the thing about buying headphones these days. It used to be that all you had to think about when you were buying a new pair of headphones was how good they sounded and how well they fit. Now, there are all kinds of options. You have to look at whether they're in-ear or around the ear, whether they're wired or wireless, or totally and completely wire free, and whether they work with voice assistance, and what else am I forgetting? Your budget. Oh, right. And price. I still think that true audio snobs are going to respect these more. A lot more. Mmm, no. Considering all I know about these, I think these are the better pair. Let's talk about fit first. Now, this is going to be a subjective thing, but personally, the IconX's fit my ears really well. I'm impressed with how comfortable they are. I mean, this fit my ears really well, too. It just...okay, just kidding. The problem I have with these is that they're huge, and I've tried all the tips that come in the box, and I just can't get a great fit. That's too bad. I was able to go running with these no problem. The right bud does fit my ear a little bit better than the left, but hey, no two ears are the same. I mean, I'm sure these fit some people well, and they're really light despite their size. Uh, yeah, I'm going to call this a win for the IconX's. But let's talk about sound quality. Once you can get these things to stay in your ears, music sounds nice and balanced. It's not too bassy, it's not too tinny, and there's a nice depth to it. I mean, I'd even go as far as saying that Bose has set a new bar for what truly wire-free audio should sound like. The sound on these is pretty good, too. I mean, if slightly over-processed, and I guess if I'm being honest, phone calls can sound a little bit hollow. But one thing that I have with these that you don't is the ability to really jam them in my ears when I want more isolated audio, as well as an ambient sound mode when I want to let in more noise. That's true, the Bose do have more of an open-air design, but I'd still say that these are the clear winners on sound. Another thing to consider with truly wireless earbuds is how you interact with them, since you no longer have a wire with a little remote on it. And I think that for both of these headphones, there are some downsides to that. I think the IconX's are slightly easier to control, not surprisingly, although there is a bit of a learning curve because there are a bunch of different ways that you can swipe and tap through them to control your music and phone calls and everything else. She hung up on me twice while she was wearing those. I was just trying to adjust my left earbud, but I thought they fit so well. At least they're not unnecessarily difficult to control. That's true, the Bose SoundSport Free have these tiny buttons at the top here that require kind of a firm press to change anything, but hey, at least I never accidentally hung up on someone or skipped a song track when I didn't mean to. I think we're even on this one. And then there's battery life. With the Bose SoundSport Free, you should be able to get up to five hours of playback time per charge. Same with these, except my charging case is nicer because it's smaller, because mine are smaller. Okay, well, I think my Bluetooth connection is better. These almost never drop out. Now, if you're still on the fence, there are other features to think about too, like the fact that these have four gigabytes of onboard storage so you can play music locally and not have to stream it. And these auto-track your runs for you too, which you can look at afterwards in the Samsung Health app. Oh, apps. Why do Bluetooth headphones need so many apps? You have a Bose app. Yeah, but with yours, it's like download the Samsung Gear Manager app and then download the Samsung Health app. It is apps. You don't have to download any apps. They'll pair with your phone just like any Bluetooth headphones. They're just more features and controls in the apps if you want them. Also, these work with voice assistants. Okay, so do these. That's not really a standout feature anymore. Look, if you want the best sound quality you can get in a pair of wire-free earbuds, then you can't go wrong with the Bose SoundSport Free if you can afford them and if you...if they happen to fit your ears, which they don't fit mine, and if you don't think they look ridiculous. That's a lot of ips. I still think overall that the Samsung Gear IconX are the better choice. They're smaller, they're more comfortable, they're less expensive, they have good battery life, and they have pretty good sound quality. I win. I'm really intrigued by how good this smells.

Oh, hello! Bones and a Circuit Breaker Live! The best show about dental hygiene on YouTube. I'm assuming there are no other shows about dental hygiene on YouTube. I hope there are several. Anyway, this is The Verge's Gadget Show. I'm Neal Apatow, the editor-in-chief of The Verge. Paul Miller's here. Hey, Paul. Hello. We're just... We have a loaded show today, so we're just gonna get right into it. Ashley Carman is here, and you have brought us toothbrushes. Yep. I brought you a bunch of connected toothbrushes. I feel like... By the way, the chat's going. Ask us questions in the chat about the segments, and we'll answer the questions. If you ask unrelated things, I will look at them. You might see a smile cross my face, and then I won't answer them. So ask about the segments. At the end, we'll do open questions. But, Ashley, I feel like your beat is... Basically, we put a chip in it, and now what happens? Yeah. And proprietary things. And proprietary things. Lots of proprietary gadgets. So if you put a chip in a toothbrush, what happens? Toothbrushing sucks more than it already did. Oh, no. But I'm very excited about these toothbrushes. Okay. So this is the Play Brush. I actually saw it said CES. Okay. And instead of a full-blown smart toothbrush, which are these over here, this is literally just a Bluetooth dongle, if I can use it. It's a dongle for your toothbrush? Yeah. So you can put any regular plain toothbrush inside this dongle. Okay. And then it has a companion app. Of course. So I can show you guys the companion app. Does it track your brushing data and send it to Google? I don't know if it sends it to Google, but yeah, your parents will know. The ultimate big brother. So, Paul. Yes? One of the big things about this toothbrush is it's for kids, and kids hate to brush their teeth, and you want them to brush for two minutes, so you have to play games to get them to do this. When did this two-minute thing come into play? Do you not brush your teeth for two minutes? I feel like if you... Two minutes is a really long time. Just touch all the surfaces and then you're out. That's not how it works. Okay. Play the game. I guess that's what you're about to learn, so let's put this... Okay, so I'm going to put this here. So people can see what we're doing here. Oh, boy. All right. So this is my avatar. Yep, this is you, Paul, wearing a nice Knight's outfit. Okay. And how do I know what to do now? Okay, so I'm going to press play. Somebody says, Gabe says, how do you dongle a toothbrush? You literally just stick it on the end of the toothbrush. Yeah, there's just a literal Bluetooth chip that you just slip right on. You can pry an accelerometer and a Bluetooth chip. Yeah, exactly. But I have to do all the work. Two minutes. Okay, so I'm going to press play. I'm not going to brush for two minutes, that's for sure. Okay, it's saying brush twice a day. Cool. All right, three. Let me see if I can get this volume up, two. Okay. There's some great music. So you'll see there's some, like, enemies coming up. You got to figure out... How do I kill the enemies? You're going the wrong way. So yeah, see, you have to have the toothbrush in a very specific direction. Okay. Now they come from over there. You got this, Paul. You got to figure this out. I'm not... I'm just brushing the side of my tongue. That's what they wanted me to do. Oh, no. Yeah, so this is the thing about this, the play brush, is it's not too... I don't think it's super accurate. I don't think it gives you the best clean. But if the whole point is just you want your kids to have a toothbrush in their mouth for two minutes, they will. I'm killing it when I fake it. Yeah. I just brush the side of my tongue. I feel like kids love to fake it. When you were a kid, did you fake washing your hands? It's all about tongue brushing. Yeah, kids just don't want to do anything responsible. You never fake washing your hands? No. It's like a thing. Your mom's got to check your hands. My niece and nephew just turn on the water and then turn it off. And clever. They didn't do the full minute and a half hand wash. Okay, how did you unscore? You got seven of nine rewards. You did a terrible job, though. So it caught you. And so then... Oh, no. What I really love about this is they've gamified the entire experience. These are just random kids from around the world. Yeah. I'm coming for you, Tim. You're first in your own game. Michael Singletary says, I can't wait for the first smart toothbrush company data breach. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so let's just show people the dongle here because people are asking about it. So just that's all it is. It's just an accelerometer. This part is rubber. And it's not also just glue. Yeah, you can take this out. And then there's a little micro USB here. Oh, my God. Is that how you charge it? Yeah. I can get it. There it goes. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Let's all just have a moment and accept what this product is. That you have to plug it into micro USB. Somebody's about to be a parent. I don't want this near my child. Well, and then they want to sell you on a subscription service. So you get one game for free. But if you want all the games, you can pay $2.99 a month. And then they sell another service where they'll mail you toothbrushes. I feel like your beat is also the darker side of all business models. Here's the great thing. This is the cheap alternative here. Yeah. This is only $30. And there is one free game. There is a free game. Yeah. OK. All right. What do we got next? We'll work our way up. So this is the Colgate E1 right here. You've maybe heard about this because it's Apple's first health type product that they're selling in there for your. So this connects to Health Kit on an iPhone or whatever? Yeah. The health app? Yeah. Well, I don't know actually if it does. I don't think it does. But it's just there. It's only on iOS. Like you can't buy this for Android. Oh, really? Yeah. And it sells in like Apple stores. Yeah. So this is an iOS-only toothbrush. I want everyone to be extraordinarily clear about what it is. It's made by the brand Colbrie that makes an Android version. But Colgate has branded the iOS version. And it's in Apple stores. I'm going to accept this. It only runs Apple Music. Yeah. Right. OK. So you've got another app. So this is another app. And this one's a little bit more like they accept that parents and kids will play this. So you have Coach Plus. Like Coach, this will guide adults through their brushing. And then you have the kids games, which obviously you're going to play. Yeah, hit me. OK. We're going to do this game, Go Pirate. All right. Go, go. All right. I feel like when I want to start brushing my teeth, I like using an iPad app. Yeah. Well, that's the whole thing. I've been using it. It says put toothbrush. So we did that. I got the toothbrush in my mouth. And then you turn on. And then you're going to do the same. Yeah, down here, this visualizes it for you. OK. I'm winning. Yeah, you're doing great. You're getting the gold coins. This game is not very hard. OK. OK. Hey! There you go. All right. Great. I don't really use this kind of visualization. This toothbrush is very ticklish. You've got this, Neelay. You've got this. All right. All right. All right. I'm winning. I'm generating a lot of spit. And we didn't plan for that. All right. There you go. There you go. And then you'll basically go for two minutes. You'll keep collecting these coins. Well, we'll just go ahead and assume that I won. Yeah, it wants you to keep going. But you're going to rebel. So this is just like a really basic collection. Yeah, so this is just, again, like an accelerometer inside. And then it's just one type of brush head, which you'll see it with our next toothbrush. It's kind of like a bummer. Yeah. Because it's not really special. How much is this situation? That one's $100. Is there like an epidemic in America of people not brushing their teeth? What are we trying to help here? Try to gamify it, Nilay. Yeah. Yeah. And I think for kids it makes sense. I don't know if adults really need this much particular help. Maybe they do. OK. I grew up in the 80s, and I was taught to brush my teeth. Did you? Yes. Hmm. John says at least there is an argument for a dedicated bathroom tablet now. Oh, yeah. That's what you want. You build that into the, oh, finally a reason to use the smart mirror. Yeah. You load the tooth brushing app into the smart mirror. And it tells you how good your job you're doing. Yeah. Well, I'm an optimist in this. Positive reinforcement. All right. But what if you actually are, I would say, a fancy person? A fancy person. Well, then I have a $220 smart toothbrush for you. This is the Sonicare Diamond Clean Smart. Diamond. These have different brush heads. These all do different things. This is the tongue scraper. Oh, my. And every brush head, the smart ones, because you can use regular ones, have a little RFID chip inside. So when you put it on top of the handle, it recognizes immediately. So this brush head is for whitening. So you can see it immediately lights up like it's in the white program. If I did the tongue scraper, it would be a shorter program. Things like that. Now there's an app on this right here. I'll get the phone. Yeah, there's always an app. I've been actually testing this for a month or two now. And I never sync it with my phone. Really? Because I don't bring my phone in the bathroom in the morning. I'm just like, I just need to go brush my teeth. It's like a thing. It's a means to an end. Yeah. Can you show me those lights again? So this is for adults. There's no game. Yeah, there's no game. This is truly like just you need to brush. This is the area you need to brush. If you want to set goals for your plaque or... It doesn't measure any of that, though. It keeps track of it for you. What were those other modes that you had? Oh, there they are. So if I just take this off, let's do the tongue scraper, which I've already seen Ashley put on her tongue some very totally weird things. So it lit up there. It goes to tongue mode. Yeah. And when does that change exactly? There we go. Well, so now if I use the tongue mode, which I can... Hi. Hi. Oh, and it's moving as you move your head. Great. These are the horrible disgusting things that were on your tongue. Yeah, they blasted off your... Can I just be very honest with you? Tongue scrapers are like very Indian, like Indian families have them. They're just like little loops of metal that cost like five cents. A lot of Instagram influencers have really been pushing the tongue scrapers. I bought a regular... Like I had one of those. A manual toothbrush on Amazon, and it just has like rubber scrappy parts on the back of the... Yeah. But what you want is an app with an animation and a timeline. So this is 220 bucks? Yeah. Are any of these people making medical claims beyond we will incentivize you to brush your teeth? I don't think so. They say you can work with your dentist. Like if your dentist says to you, hey, you really need to focus on your lower teeth. And now it's harder to lie to your dentist. Right. They could work with you. It's better. I want to see it. So now you're sending data to your dentist. I feel bad for the dentist. I have to like sit down and... Also, each of these smart brush cuts cost more than $10, and they want you to replace them with a new one. So this is the reason that we care, right? Let's be honest. Right. So this is its wireless charging cup. Pop it in there. That's pretty cool. It's charging. And I was like, okay. What is it about this wireless charging cup? Eli, can we... Oh, because I have an iPhone X? Yes. So it's Qi? Look at that. Qi. So you can also charge your phone. That's a lot. I don't know if we've solved any problems here today, but I do like this. I like the idea that you're like, you know what I want is a glass of water. Let me just throw my phone down on this electricity. Just move on. Yeah. Your charging cup. This is great. I think I feel good about this. So you've been using this one in particular. Yeah. Have you gotten into it? So I've actually been using electric toothbrushes since forever. My parents are very big on the electric toothbrush. That's supposed to be better for you then. Yeah. It's definitely better than a manual toothbrush. But I just don't want to sink an app. I'm not going to look at my screen. I don't bring my phone in the bathroom with me right when I wake up in the morning. I just go straight to the bathroom and then brush my teeth. So it's like I'm not going to look at my phone. Well, just tell your phone about how you did later on. Yeah. You can go back and revisit like, oh, you missed this spot. You can tell. It's in your mouth. If you don't know where you missed when you brushed your teeth, you need to just pay more attention to yourself. How will you pirates get all the coins, Mila? All right. Zayn says, I like it. So you got one customer out there. We actually have a super packed show for all of you. We've got to move right on. Heim Gartenberg is going to join us. We're going to take apart an iPod and replace its hard drive with some SD cards. Donnie is going to be here. We're going to play with some Bluetooth styluses and see where that leads us. But next, Ashley is going to run over there to the Ask Circuit Breaker corner. And Ashley and Jake are going to answer the questions that people have been sending in all this week. That's right. We have a new segment, Ask Circuit Breaker. The news is dead. The news is done. We've moved on. Literally nothing happened this past week. So this is why we had to fill this in. But we got some questions from people over the past week. We had some good questions. Yeah. Twitter came through. We may or may not answer them. We've only promised that we will ask the big questions. But our first question is about smart homes and how do you get started with them, which I think is a good question, something that I think about probably a little bit too often for just my own purposes, even though I already have some. I just want to imagine you on the couch. I'm just like, what advice should I give past me? But I actually think the answer for this is getting like easier and easier. So first things first is an Echo Dot. You can get one for like $30 on sale basically all the time. And that will give you a sense of whether you like, I mean, voice control is basically the way to control smart home products right now. And that'll give you a sense of if you're comfortable with that, if that feels natural to you, and you know, you'll get a sense of. If it's going to become a thing that you're going to make your brand. I thought I'd be very uncomfortable with it. I'm still a little uncomfortable with it, but it grows more and more natural. And then I would say the second thing to get is some smart lights. My favorite are the Philips Hue. They are really easy to set up. They're very reliable, which is the most important thing here. And they're very expandable. So if you decide that you do really like smart lights, there are a ton of different options you can get. I would not necessarily start out with the multicolor ones that are like really expensive. I don't, you said you like them. I think they're cool. I don't need like a purple living room. You have to know what you're doing with color and wall lights. Yeah, I'm a multicolor lighting expert. I can manage the like blue to orange ones that are like, choose your tone, relax. I mean, I have a light at home that I've been testing the Soul from GE, and it has an Alexa actually built into the light. And I love the smart light aspect of it, but only because I use actually its app. So when I'm on the way into my apartment, I'm connected to my Wi-Fi. So I'm like walking up the stairs and I turn on the light from the hallway, which feels like a hack to me. I'm like, I did it. It does feel super cool. I made it. Yeah, I don't use the Alexa. I actually use the Alexa the whole time. That's great. I mean, I do feel a little creeped out about the always on stuff, but it's just so convenient. I never open the app. Yeah. So if you're going to get started with a smart home, it's like, get a smart speaker. Just try it out. See if you like it. You're not putting that much money up front for the Dot. For sure. And then there are some like obvious next steps if this is all going well for you. Nest's thermostat and smoke detector are really cool. Ring has doorbells. So there are some really natural places to expand to if you decide that you kind of like what's going on there. Yeah. So our second question of the week as circuit breaker is, do we think that phones are getting more delicate over time? I really love this question. Yeah, me too. Because it's something I hadn't really thought about exactly in this way. It's interesting because you have the media phone that came to mind was iPhone 10. It's like, oh, my God, you don't want to drop that thing. The glass on the back is more expensive to replace than the actual screen. And that that's the same with AppleCare, too. So it's like, OK, that's a really delicate phone that you just cherish it, hold it close to your heart at all times. Maybe even put a case on it. Same with the other iPhone 8. But then at the same time, you have a bunch of phones now that are waterproof. And that's a really like great utility use where whereas before, if you dropped in the shower, the toilet, the pool, whatever, your phone was dead. It was gone. Now it's like you can take photos like me. Waterproof, I think, is like a great argument for phones being more sturdy because this is like a serious quality of life improvement. People were like constantly worried. I like one of my earlier phones nearly died because I was I got rained on. And that's just not a thing I had to worry about. I was like taking pictures outside the other day with my Pixel because it was raining and it was beautiful. Did not have to worry about it getting dripped on. That's great. Yeah. And I think, too, like our phones now are kind of our main accessories. Right. And so back in the day when we had our big bulky plastic or whatever, our massive phones that we could drop from rooftops and they would survive. It's like those didn't look good. Yeah. Even if you could get that now as a smartphone, you probably wouldn't want it because you're like, I'd look. No, it just doesn't look good. Our design sensibilities have changed. Also, now phones are just infinitely more expensive. So whether or not they've gotten more delicate, you definitely want to just take care of it more. It's scarier to break. Yeah, exactly. Like where's where you're like, eh, right. The cracks. OK. Now it's like, no, that cost me a thousand dollars. So the answer is like, yes and no. Yeah, it's a little bit of both. Yeah. You know, they're always just saying there's new Gorilla Glass. It's like, OK, sure. Every year. I'm so excited for the new Gorilla Glass. Yeah. So that's Ask Circa Breaker. Be sure to send us your questions. Write them in the comments. As you might notice, YouTube people, these were all tweets this week. Do not be upstaged by our Twitter followers. This is on you. Any good questions in the comments, YouTube, on this video, if you're watching it right now. We'll see you next week. And back to them. All right. Hi. Thank you, Ashley and Jake, by the way. We had a question in the chat, by the way, that said, do you need an upgraded router for smart home stuff? I will say that until I got a mesh network system, I have an Eero, but I think anything would work. All of my smart home experiments failed. They all have tiny little Wi-Fi antennas hidden in tiny little spots. You need the coverage. They can't pull the weeks. Anyway, hi. I'm here. I'm here. You have brought us a number of iPods in a state of disarray. And I just want to explain what is happening here. We're going to take out the hard drive of one of these iPods in real time. And you're going to replace it with this custom board that has micro SD cards in it. It's basically an SSD upgrade. Yeah. So here's the story. Here's why this is happening this week. I am like this story, by the way, is called My Friend, Ryan Johnson. By Neelay Patel. It is. That's why. Thank you for the title. No one ever gets the title right. No. I love looking at eBay for weird old gadgets. I was looking at iPods, and I noticed there's this huge booming market for upgraded iPods. And I tweeted, I might buy one of these because I am a sucker and I will buy anything. And I love the new Star Wars book. And Ryan Johnson, who directed The Force Awakens, tweeted back at us. Last Jedi. Last Jedi. I'm sorry. Ryan Johnson, who directed Last Jedi, tweeted back at us, he has one. And he's showing us a picture of it. And he loves it. It's like a cloud, beautiful cloudless lane. Sorry, I can't believe I got to move around. But he and I have been just chatting about how much we like not having streaming services in our lives and like having music. So we figured we got to just show people how this works. So Hyen, show us how this works. All right. So we're going to start out with our iPod, which we had you select, which is a fifth generation 30 gigabyte iPod. This is the iPod video. This was the last generation before Apple switched to the generally, in my opinion, inferior aluminum fronted, you know, boring iPod classic. This is still your, you know, classic platonic white iPod right click wheel. Let's look over here. So this is the first one with the mechanical quick wheel. This is where they've landed. This is a classic. Yeah. What you want is a fifth gen. Yeah. Because the fifth gen had the best DAC, it had a Wolfson. People like the fifth gen the best of all these, and apparently it's very hard to open this one. Yeah. The fifth generation also has a big advantage, which is this is really hard to take apart. The classic is just bolted on here. So we're actually just going to go get right in. We're going to take our trusty iFixit makes a repair kit, which is this beautifully arrayed thing for tools for cracking open your devices. So we're going to take this bespoke plastic iPod opening tool, and we're going to just crack open the case here. You've already got it started. Yeah, I've started this because this is a bit of an annoying process. It will sound like you're breaking your iPod. Don't break your iPod is my best advice. And be patient. This is why we do this live, because this is now terrifying. I mean, I'm not even doing it, I'm afraid for you. So, Neelai, when you're hanging out with your best friend Ryan Johnson, what else do you guys like to talk about? Today we shared each other photos of our record players. Oh. That's where we are. That's where our friendship is. It's a very early stages. It's mostly complaining about streaming services. Would you say this has something to do with being like sort of like a Luddite or like a hipster? What does this come from? I think for me, in particular with music, it's I hate being locked in. I've always hated DRM. I love the iTunes store and the app that came out sold. Remember Steve Jobs wrote an entire letter that's like against DRM. And he convinced the music industry to drop DRM. There was just a sense that you would buy files, you would own them. Buy files. They were standards, right? Like they were some sort of Amazon sells MP3s, iTunes store sold AACs. And you had them and you could just play them on any device you wanted. Right. And Apple's big advantage was that this was a better music player than all the other music players. And that was what they had to compete on. It's what they eventually won on. But it wasn't, hey, you're an Apple music subscriber, now you can just buy this one thing. And then you can just play Spotify. There was news today Spotify is working on its own hardware. Right. Like all that's just lock in. And like that to me, I'm over it. I just want to point out, I don't want to cheat. I've got it by the way. Yeah, we've got it. We distracted the audience with our radical open ideology. So I'm actually open to this thing. The corner over here is the power supply. All right. We got it. This corner right here. We're about to yank the power supply from the base. Very carefully. Amazing. I mean, I'm so nervous right now. Terrifying. Get in here with our tweezers. My God. So what are you what are you just connecting here? So now we're disconnecting power, which is this tiny little gray thing over here. And the goal is to get it out without ripping out the entire board. If we mangle this cable, it's not a huge deal, though, because while we're in here, we're also going to remove the battery. I'm just like holding my breath. I know. I'm pretty excited. Got it. All right. Nailed it. OK. I'm Gartenberg, everybody. Could you possibly believe that this is actually more convenient, though, than just putting songs onto your iPhone with like Apple Music or smartphone? I don't think it's about convenience. I think convenience is... Like principle? It's about... It's also about focus. When I listen to streaming music services, they just like zone out into playlists. All right. So here we go. Now we have the we are inside an iPod right over here. This big chunk is our hard drive. Do you think Johnny Ive picked the shade of blue? Honestly, very, very probably. He and Steve Jobs are like, I don't know. Can we see 10 more shades? So we're going to peel off these rubber bumpers. Now, the next thing we got to do, this cord over here is super important. This is the headphones. So if we break that, this basically becomes useless. We're going to undo this little latch right here and just slide that right out. Yeah. All right. Look at that. So this is your back of an iPod case. Again, we're going with the 30 gigabyte for a few reasons. One is... Can we just take one minute? This is... I mean, this is a lot. I mean, this hard drive is huge. We have one here. This is like all of the weight of a hard drive. If you think about the size of the components in your phone now, it's like all battery in this board powers everything that a phone does. A board of this size, basically. Even smaller in some cases. It's like kind of remarkable. But remember, this, the iPods played breakout. That's true. They had the one... Oh, this is the video iPod. Yeah, this is the video iPod. You can put videos on here. This is pretty quality stuff. Okay. So you just took out the battery. So I just took out the battery, which is literally just glued to this board. We went to iFixit and bought a reputable new battery. How much is the replacement battery? So the replacement battery is about 15 bucks. Okay. Which is, yeah, not that bad. So I'm just going to get this lined up. You're basically gluing it in there? It comes pre-made with good old-fashioned 3M adhesive. Okay. So I'm just going to peel that sticker and slot it into place. Press down. Yeah. All right. Nice. So now battery replacement is done. Now we get to the fun part. So this is, again, this is a 30-gigabyte hard drive. There's two reasons we're using the 30-gig. One is that it's thinner and lighter. And two is here. We have over here, this is an 80-gig video iPod. So you can see it's like much chunkier. Yeah. I always bought those and I never bought these. Yeah. And they showed me this one, and it's kind of way smaller. So we're going to get rid of this hard drive. I was always the person who bought the biggest iPod they could. Did you fill it? It came close. I definitely have never had 30 gigabytes of music on any one device. It was as I started ripping my CDs into higher and higher quality. Okay. Hard drive out. Hard drive is out. So now what happens? Now we're going to take this. This is the iFlash quads. This is the company that actually makes these bespoke boards. As you can see, perfectly designed to fit right here into this iPod. But they basically sell a whole bunch of these. They have ones for SATA hard drives. They have ones for full size SD cards. We went with micro SD cards because micro SD cards are super cheap. So we're just going to slot these in. These are two 128 gigabyte Samsung micro SD cards. And now this is a 256 gigabyte hard drive. This was 30. That's crazy. How far we've come. How far we've come. In a previous life, Paul and I would write posts all the time like, a new bigger micro SD card is coming out. Dude, it's a little known secret of Circuit Breaker. If you didn't know this, by the way, people who are watching on YouTube, Circuit Breaker is also a website that you can go to. If you go to theverge.com.circuitbreaker, we write about technology too. And storage posts are big hits. Well, every time. There's like a hot new SSD right now, like a 30 terabyte 2.5 inch SSD. Yeah. Top of the site. It's a huge hit for us. Everything you're doing is filling me with dread. Just like absolute insane. Now we're just reattaching. As long as you apply enough pressure. Is this like a position that you need to know that you're in? No. I'm just trying to get the pressure on the cable without ripping out the cable. So this is our in. Okay. So one of the reasons this hack works so well is if you look under this board, we're not touching any of the core circuitry here. That's how the screen connects. But this is still the same memory, same firmware. All we're doing is we're taking this, which is a hard drive, and we're just kind of swapping in this. So like replacing a SATA drive. Yeah, exactly like replacing a SATA drive. So at the end of the day, when we plug this into iTunes at the end, and yes, you have to use iTunes. It's the one downside. It's your one sacrifice. Back to iTunes. It's just showing up as, oh, this iPod has a lot of storage, but it shows up the same. It actually gets us into one of the weird quirks here, which is you can put as much storage as you want. You have a terabyte worth of micro SD cards. Throw them in here. There's actually a track limit, though, of how many songs you can put on. The quantity. Yeah, which is basically defined by the iTunes database size, like the metadata. So this is the 30 gigabyte one. So this can take about 20,000 songs, give or take a few for metadata, regardless of how much storage. If you put like a terabyte of storage on here, you're still stuck with 20,000 as the hard limit. One of the weird quirks of this process, actually, the firmware on this has a hard cap of 120 gigabytes of storage on almost all classics with exception of a couple, which is another reason that the fifth gen is good for this project, is that this does not have that limit. So you can put, you know, as many songs, not as many songs, you can put 20,000. An interesting thing is the 80 gigabyte version, because it was designed to hold more stuff, has more memory. So this actually can fit like 50,000 if you have the storage for it. This is all bonkers. I think 20,000 songs on my custom SD iPod, that's all you need at the party, man. Yeah. I mean, so for 250 gigabytes, we ran the numbers, you can get like 14 megabytes a song to hit the 20,000 limit, which is already in like Apple lossless territory. So you should be fine. Do iPods play Apple lossless? iPods do play Apple lossless. They do not play flag. They don't play flag. So now we're going to reconnect our headphone cable over here. Again, very carefully. Alexander says, I like my Windows phone. Just out there. Me too, Alexander. There's one stand in every chat. So yeah, that's already reconnected, hopefully. Now we're just going to take this bumper from the hard drive. I'm just going to wedge that in there so that this doesn't bang around. Since generally mysterious rattling noise is coming from your iPods is bad. Yep. You were saying the foam on these originals was because you're actually trying to reduce the motion because this is a spinning platter. Yeah. So you'll notice ours doesn't really need the foam because there's no spinning platter. This is all flash. Didn't the iPod have like a cache for like skip protection? Like it would spin down the hard drive. It was moving. It had 32 megs of skip protection. They put it at a time when people understood CD players. So your CD players have like three minutes of skip protection. That was a real arms race. That was a moment. So then Apple, when they put out the iPod, they were like, that's five minutes of skip protection. What are you going to do, CD players? You remove spinning discs. All right. So now we're pretty much done. This is going way, way better than I expected. All you have left to do is this is our battery cable. We just need to slot it into this terminal over here and then literally just snap everything back together. All right. Wait, what about that pad? Oh, right. Good call. We don't need the foam. The foam over here was again to protect that from bouncing around. For skip protection, we don't need this. But there is this pad that we're going to stick on, which is literally just going to space against the back of the iPod so that it doesn't like crash around. We've removed a lot of volume from this thing. All right. So now we're just going to flip this over. It is funny. I've held the ones with the hard drive and I held one with these SD cards in it. So much lighter. It's surprisingly lighter. And also, might I point out that iPods fit in your pocket better than a phone does. Yeah, much smaller. The length of the phone is the real problem. This is terrifying. Everything you're doing is terrifying. I mean, I really want to do it because it's the sort of thing I like doing. But I think what I'm discovering now is I like watching you do it because what I really like is the terror. Wait, what's the overall cost of this hobby if you just like ripping open iPods and putting SD cards in them? That's it. Nailed it. All right. So now you just plug this thing. Look at that. Wow. Snap all the clips back in. Wow. So now you just plug this thing back in iTunes. So now it's going to turn on. It is going to tell us that it is going to have a freak out and that you need to restore it with iTunes because we just basically took out the entire hard drive. That's wild. iTunes will fully recognize it. So to cost before we get into it, before we pull out a computer and start formatting this. So cost. You need to have an iPod which generally can run you for the 5th Gen, for the 5th Gen 30, somewhere between 30 and 60 bucks on eBay. You need the board, which was roughly $45 on also on eBay. The battery is 15 from iFixit if you want to replace the battery, which while you're in there might as well. Get a fresh battery. This also will get better battery life than the hard drive because these pull less power. So you'll get roughly 20 percent more battery life. But all in, what's the number? So all in, what's the number? Probably around 200, 150, 200, all things. SD cards. What I think is remarkable, and you have one that works. TV Magic. We don't have one that's format. We don't have time to format this, but this is a finished one. This is Circuit Pod 1. You can see over here we're not lying. This has 240 gigabytes of memory. This one just broke. You know what's remarkable about this? So you think about Apple, they're the closed company, everything's sealed. This was the product that started it all. Literally everything in consumer technology is descended, in this moment, is descended from the iPod and Apple strategy iPod. But this is just a little Linux computer. It's running that Portal Player OS. You can just crack it open and put in standardized storage. You plug it in the computer. The computer isn't doing some weird hardware DRM thing. It's almost like it's your own iPod. Yeah. This is like, people are asking in the chat why I'm so into this, and this is why. Because it feels like something that belongs to us. This is also just a nice product. It's like one of the best products ever. Paul, what are you doing? To celebrate Haim's amazing achievement, I pulled – this is a little product I like to call the HomePod. This is the Apple Hi-Fi. Check this out. Check this out. It's got audio in. Who would have thunk? Who thought it was possible? But it's got a little dock right up here. You plugged it in. It didn't boot. That's a 30-pin. No, it's a speaker. You just plug it in. You just plug it in. It works. It's not finding its spatial place in the room. I mean, I'm just going to play something that's going to get us completely lost. Its spatial place in the room is to rock the party. So while you're looking for something, the other advantage to the solid state drives is we had our producer, Creighton, who is a huge iPod fan. We had him take this for a test drive over the last day, and he says that it is much snappier than the hard drive, loads things faster. Well, in honor of the HomePod reviews report, I'll just slap that in there. Sounds beautiful. All right. We made it work. May it work? All right. Now we have to stop it because we'll get to it. Thank you very much, Haim. Pleasure. So impressed. I'm super into this. I'm very happy that this has inspired so many people on our staff to buy iPods because they're starting to flow into the office now at a weird rate. Paul. Yeah. You have started making videos, and no one seems able to stop you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last week, I premiered a new series that's called Explain Yourself, and I can say, without a doubt, glowing reception across the Internet. This week, I did a different video that has nothing to do with Explain Yourself, but it's also great, and I think you're going to really like what happened. Oh, no. Hello. I'm Paul Miller, and today we're going to do the one-thumb test. Everybody knows you're supposed to be able to open a laptop using only one thumb and no knuckles. So I have bandaged my hands to make sure that I don't cheat. This is my personal laptop. This is how it's supposed to work. Put the thumb right there. We had a little bit of sliding, but we're okay. The chewy. We're going to get two attempts per. That's a fail. Okay, that was one. Nope. That one really doesn't count because it's for old people. This is a Microsoft Surface laptop. This is a pretty important one. Hey, good job, Microsoft. Way to go. How about Lenovo? Nope. Try number two. Nope. Got a Pixel. Hey, hey, hey. There's a kickstand on this one. That's not going to, that's never going to fly. But we got a Spectre 360. Nope. Nope. The original Chromebook. A little bit of wobble, but it's safe. Sliding. Well, it's cheating if it's got the backstop. Let's put that at half, half mast. This one's interesting. This guy actually has a latch. That works. This is not going to work at all. I don't know if I can get it, I don't know if I can get this open with two hands. There we go. That's the future of laptops. Not. Not really. Pixelbook. Saw that little slide there. Going to dock points for that. I'm going to say half mast. Whew, getting tired, getting tired. Just going to fight through the pain, keep going. The slide, the slide is always what gets you. What do we got here? A lot of Chromebooks it turns out. That's not a Chromebook. Is that a Chromebook? I don't even know. That worked. We got Huawei. NSA hates them. Oh no. Nope. Samsung. It's in on a classic ThinkPad. We got latches on the side. This is back before we knew. This one is kind of like a trap. Because you open one side. Yeah, this is never going to work. So we just tested 21 laptops. Eight of them, full point. Great job everybody. Five of them, you just got to imagine. Five of them got half points. That's not that bad. That's not that bad. I think in a couple of years with the, you know, the forward march, Moore's law and the forward march of technology, we're going to get it 100% very soon. I'm convinced. Thank you for watching. Enjoy the rest of the show. Well, Paul, did it again. Got him. No one can stop you. All right. Dami is here. I want to start asking questions. It's the end of this. We're going to take your questions to wrap up the show. Just think of some questions you want to ask. But first, Dami, you have brought us, I think this is the most circuit breaker of all circuit breaker segments, accessories that plug into headphone jacks. Yeah, it's a really novel concept. One that I miss dearly. Today I'm here to talk about the Sonar Pen, which is a headphone connected stylus. And what makes this better than the Apple Pencil is Apple Pencil is ninety nine dollars and it only works with iPad Pro. This one is only thirty dollars. Granted, it is a Kickstarter project, but it's really cheap and it works with all iPads released after 2011. So I specifically had to buy the iPad Pro just to use with the stylus. But before I begin with this, let's go back and take a look at all the other headphone connected accessories that have paved the way for this. So first thing, I think everyone pretty much knows what this is. It's a square card reader. They released this little thing for free to like business owners just because they can take like a small kind of transactions. So many iced coffees. Yeah. Yeah. What's that thing? So this is really interesting. It's a smart Geiger counter and it connects to usually it would be a headphone jack, but my phone doesn't have one. But it also works with the lighting dongle. The dongle saved us. So it works with the companion app and it helps you detect radiation in your home. You have to be so dedicated to detecting radiation. What's the highest radiation thing you found in our office so far? In the office so far, it's not much. It's if I just put it up to this iPad here, it should flash like a warning bright red and it's like slightly high at point A. That's what happens when you put the Geiger counter up to slightly radioactive things. Put it up on Neeli. Humans are radioactive. He's fine. We're good. We're safe. What up? So basically nobody should really use this as a real Geiger counter. The reviews on Amazon were not great. People were like, I had this next to my TV and it's giving me super high readings and I should be dead by now. So it's not super accurate. You should just use this as a toy to gauge what things are more radioactive than others. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. All right. Let's talk about this stylus. Okay. So let's go back to the stylus. And this stylus for 30 bucks, it's really hard to find. It's really hard to find styluses at 30 bucks that can also like detect pressure sensitivity and also have palm rejection. So right now it only works with two apps. This is an app called Zed Brush 2 and it kind of mimics like East Asian calligraphy. And it's a really cool app. But the only downside is that it only works with two colors. But super simple to use. Let me just draw like. So you guys should all know is Dami in addition to working at The Verge is a super talented cartoonist. Her cartoon is called As Per Usual. She should follow on Instagram. She won't let me plug her book but I'll just let her email the visual book forthcoming. So is this better or worse than what you use to make As Per Usual? This is definitely worse. I mean the app is worse. The stylus I think works great. There's no Bluetooth. You don't have to charge it. I do have this cable. It kind of gets in my way sometimes but it does have this advantage over the pencil where you can remap like a little button here. So you can do like undo. Right now it's undoing my strokes. But yeah it's only 30 bucks. It's really great for kids or any iPads like old iPads you have flying around. So you don't have to go out and like buy a new iPad Pro. Would you switch from your. Right now you have a Wacom as I said. Yeah. Would you switch from your Wacom to this thing? This pen? Yeah. No. But good for kids and just having fun. I feel like you've been coming on the show with different drawing devices for a long time and nothing's replaced the Wacom. The Wacom is the top. It's just the best. But if you want to find a really cheapy stylus it's only 30 bucks. Anything else like we have this like a Donnet Jot Pro. That's the same weirdo tech. Yeah it's like this weird like plastic disc. But these work as dumb styluses meaning there's no pressure sensitivity or palm rejection. And no charging. No charging but it works with any app. But this is 30 bucks. If you want to get something like with actual features you have to go up to at least 75. You can find those with like the Wacom Intuos creative stylus or the Donnet Pixel. Yeah. So that's basically it. Is this Pikachu? Yeah. This is my version of this show. I just want to be clear. It's my version. Today we're going to be sued by the Pokemon people and the Eagles. This is the best lawsuit. This is a remix. A remix. This is my version. He's got like a Mario mustache. I just deleted my. Oh there we go. We're sorry to the Eagles. I would say we were playing a remix of Hotel California as well. Yes you are the Eagles lawyers. Yep. This is great. This is beautiful. I love this app. So here's the thing. We had a lot of fun when we found out about the Geiger account. I was like well what else is there for the headphone jack? Did you do something else? Turns out not a lot. There's a laser pointer for the headphone jack. We couldn't get it in time but it's fine. There's an app for the laser pointer for the headphone jack. This sonar pen thing is like it works in a really cool way. It's definitely the most interesting thing we found. But I also found my favorite category which is basically devices that allow you to use an iPad in bed. Yeah. Wait what? Yeah. So like. How do you need help to do that? Well everybody's been there right? You're holding the iPad in bed and then your hand slips off and then you get hit by the iPad. It's like you're doing an infomercial now. Should I demonstrate it again? One more time. Oh no. It's so hard to hold the thing. All this bruises. Okay. So here's a. This is called the iPivo pad pillow. This is $21.46. Stop it. Is this your company? No. It's just. Stop showing pillows man. Okay well you don't like the pillow? You don't like the pillow? I got more. What is this noise happening? All this clanking noise. There's a lot of noises happening. Tommy I'm so sorry. This is the Bamboo bathtub cabbie. This is just some Bed Bath & Beyond shit man. So I know. I'm going to look at this and you're like well where do I put my wine glass? Well this has a little slot right here. Slide in your wine glass. Very secure. So this will go across the bathtub. But I don't. I'm more of a shower kind of guy. But. I just want to register my complete disapproval. Put this in bed. It's like one of those old timey lawn cushions. The fact that you're doing this and then the thing that you're showing us. Look at the convenience. Put all your snacks right here. What are you doing in the bath? This is not good enough for you. No this is for the bed. Here we go. This one we've called the SpyFood. This is a tab lift. So you put your tablet in here. Right. In the body. The body. Yes. The human body. If I walked into someone's bedroom and I saw that. I would leave. I would run so fast. There's a problem with this right. Imagine the human posture right here. You have to be almost upright. And when I'm watching Netflix on my iPad. I want to be fully prone. Which is what? Oh yes. Go ahead. I just keep doing what you're doing man. Okay. I mean I have a lot of questions. Okay. Well this. What is that? This is the SpyGeek tablet phone stand. So this has an adjustable little holder here. So you can put stuff in. This is a company that tried to be a tripod company and failed. That's what you're looking at. I feel like my dad had like the world's cheapest tripod. And it was made by these people for sure. Did they invent these like previously for books? Like when people read books in bed. Were they like try this book spider. Yeah absolutely. So this is adjustable. No I don't think they made these for books is what I'm saying. I think iPads made us horrible and lazy and now you can buy an iPad. Loosen it up. Loosen it up. Oh look. Your iPad is a table now. Right? How convenient. But best of all. Is it going to be best of all? This solves the fully prone problem. Oh good. Tommy's got the fall cam. We've got a pillow. Check it out. Let's see. So you just put this right past your head. That looks super comfortable. Oh wait. You got to turn it around. Paul. Yeah. Paul. Look how comfortable I am. Neal have you seen the new Netflix show Altered Carbon? Paul. Paul. Paul. Let's get you some friends buddy. This is $21.99 on Amazon. All right. Well you just stay there. We've got a few minutes of show left. We want your questions. We can see them here. Let's see what you got. Ask us questions. We'll answer and we're just going to leave. Paul. Martin says this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I want you to know that. Okay. You want me to help with questions? Also Michael says Paul is clearly an Amazon seller and plugging his own wares. Chris says Paul Miller 2020. So that's happening. Yeah. What you don't know is I'm in all your affiliate links. Josh says what is your editorial budget? How much did you spend on this nonsense? Well all of these iPad stands were between $20 and $40. That's reasonable. Yeah. So less than your stupid iPods. I thought we could find this at Bed Bath and Beyond. It's true. Just get that like 20% off coupon in there. Which of the four of these would seem most convenient and useful to you? Probably this one. No. Stop it. Stop hawking your Etsy store. Put this away. Just like a little wine glass right there. Put my goldfish like here. All right. Paul. This is a real question for you. Sam Church says what do you think of Mycroft? Mycroft is the open source voice assistant that you wrote about over the weekend. Here's the thing. Everybody knows that one of the big advantages that companies like Google and Amazon have with AI is vast amounts of data collection. And that's like the scary thing but it's also one of the reasons they can get good. Yeah. And it's actually one of the things that holds Apple back because they do a lot less data collection. So to do an open source voice assistant, this Mycroft thing is it already exists as software but they're doing their second generation of actual hardware. You can opt in to let this open source project collect your data but it's definitely almost positively not going to work as well. But I just want to try it out. I want them to send me one when it's going to ship in December of 2018 and I'll play around with it. It might be super bad but I would just like this. You know, we were talking with the iPod. It's nice to have a computer that you own. You can take it apart. You can put it back together. I want similar things with software. So I'm going to check this out and see how well it works. Donnie Jr. asks, is this a tight end? What? Which part? The whole thing. No, it's not. Someone asked what are the best in-ear headphones with the headphone jack. That's an impossible question to answer because there's just too many. In-ear? Yeah. The ones that we have recommended the most are the Zero Carbon Tenor which are on Amazon. They're pretty cheap. I bought those. Vlad wrote about them a long time ago. Now we're all locked into whatever Bluetooth nonsense we're all locked into. Yeah. I was trying to use those and then my dongle died. I bought a new dongle and that one died. So I can't use those headphones anymore but they're great. Yeah. Is Haim still here? We got a question. How many practice attempts did Haim have to do the iPod upgrade? One. That's the answer as far as I know. The one he had in his pocket is the one he did before. We bought four of them. We bought three for the show and then I bid on one on eBay and accidentally won. Okay. So that was a mistake. So we have four of them. Mine is I think Weng Yun from China but we bought a whole bunch. They made all the classics and other things. I think we can all agree that was an impressive display. Haim is a superstar. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. Okay, Dami, I know you don't want to talk about it but John says where can we buy Dami's book or when? Where and when? August. It's out in August. Pre-orders should be available soon. Look for it on Amazon. If we follow you on Instagram. Yes, you'll hear about it. It's my name, Dami underscore Lee. Yeah. Someone keeps asking me, T-Shark keeps asking what are the favorite gadgets from Black Panther. I can't see what that is. I couldn't even get tickets to it. Like I went to the theater and there was like a super long line and I couldn't see it. I saw Shape of Water. That was great. Yeah, it's real hard in New York right now. Have you seen it? No. We got Black Panther content all over the site. So look at the verge. You'll see some Black Panther stuff. Hopefully I will see it soon. I love all the phones in them. I love phones. I don't know what newer phones are, Anun, so I can't answer that question. All right. Bring back the scissor vodka t-shirt. A lot of Vergecast fans in the chat. What else we got? Wow, the Black Panther question just keeps coming. We got some Black Panther astroturfers in our chat right now. Step off, this is my Amazon affiliate marketing channel. All right. I saw a question like what is your favorite notes taking up? I always like to plug Google Keep. It's a really good one. I write down all my comic ideas on there, tweets that I can't make it out onto Twitter, just like every little thing. That's on the web and an app. Yeah. I feel like it's important to plug the Google services, like the little known Google services you use, so they keep them alive. Yeah. Yeah. The DAUs don't take that away. If those DAUs don't go up, you're like, well, Google Keep is gone. So how do you use Google Keep? It's just like a little Post-it note. I would show you guys if I could, but I don't want everyone reading my thoughts. Right, right. But it's just like a Post-it note app kind of. I use Simple Note, which has a website and also native apps for everything. But it also used to sync with Notational Velocity, but nobody updates Notational Velocity anymore. And then the new version of Mac OS broke Notational Velocity, and it's really sad. It's all over. I use Simple Note. It's great. The people who run it, they run it because they want it, and they're all like relatives. Yeah, it's affiliated with like the WordPress people. They've got all that PHP WordPress. They do. It works for me. Paul, do you think that Puras and laptops are worth the price given the added security features or should I get a Chromebook? So you actually reviewed the Puras and laptops. Yeah, they weren't worth it for me, and the default OS that it came with was kind of for the sake of security kind of like stripped down, so therefore like kind of harder to use. I've actually like spent more time with Linux since then. I feel like I'd be better at it now. But it's definitely not nearly as convenient as using like a Windows or Mac laptop. So you have to know that you need and want those security features. Otherwise, I mean, Chromebook is not Linux. That's important to know. You can do some of the stuff you can do on Linux, but it is pretty difficult as well. If you want a true Linux laptop, there's a, what is it, System76 or something like that. I think that, and then there's also people who like will just help you like put Linux on your Dell XPS 13 or something. Yeah. People are really asking about HomePods and EchoDots and HomeMaxes. Just buy whatever you like, man. Just turn it up. Get it from California. Buy it from the actual store. Just listen to that one song over and over again. I can't tell you. Like the answer is buy the thing. You're locked into an ecosystem. Yeah. Look around at the prison walls around you, the small cell that you're in. Mike says, can Paul Miller explain himself? Let's see one more. Let's see. This one's for me. This is in 4G news. It's impossible to agree on the headphone jack problem. The world should be wireless. Don't you agree? And I do not, sir. I do not agree. I think that we need open standards to connect everything because that's just who I am. Here you go, Neelai. Oh, no. Here you go. What's going to happen now? The original headphone jack accessory. I actually had these headphones. This is off into the sunset, Neelai. Yeah, I went to headphones. The thing is I have an iPhone X. And I'm living the Bluetooth life. I'm just disappointed almost every single day about something breaking. All right. That, unfortunately, is our show. Thank you so much for watching. We'll be back next week. We didn't have the Cabo on this week, the crazy AI remote control thing, because it's just really hard to set up. And we didn't have enough time because yesterday was a holiday. So we're going to have the Cabo on next week. That'll be a fun demo. We have a bunch of other stuff going on. Tuesday is 4 p.m. Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.

This is the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Now if you've been on YouTube much in the past few months, you've probably seen this phone before, or maybe read some suspicious user reviews. But despite Huawei's best efforts, nobody in the US has been able to buy this phone until just this month when it went on sale unlocked at a handful of places like Amazon or Best Buy. Now there's a whole backstory about Huawei trying to break into the US market with this particular phone, and how it's been completely unable to get any carrier support, despite coming awfully close. Now that might be due to some factors that are outside of Huawei's control, such as a distrust of the company by the US government. But it got me wondering, is the Mate 10 Pro a phone anyone should buy? Even if Huawei had been able to get it on AT&T or Verizon or any other US carrier, would anyone have bought it anyways? In terms of hardware, the $799 Mate 10 Pro has almost everything you'd expect from a flagship phone in late 2017 or early 2018. It has a metal and glass body with great build quality and tight tolerances. It's water resistant. It has a tall aspect ratio screen with minimal bezels. It has stereo speakers, and of course, a dual rear camera system. Inside of the phone is Huawei's own top of the line processor, six gigabytes of RAM, and 128 gigabytes of storage. There's a huge 4,000 milliamp hour battery that can keep it going all day and then some. It even has an IR blaster, so you can use it to control your TV or other electronics. And like many other high-end phones, it doesn't have a headphone jack, but Huawei does provide both these ear pod knockoff headphones and a USB-C to 3.5 millimeter adapter in the box. It also doesn't have wireless charging, despite the fact that it has a glass back. But those are fairly minor complaints. If there's a hardware feature you want, the Mate 10 Pro probably has it. And for the most part, the hardware works really well. The Mate 10 Pro is as fast as any recent Android flagship. The hardware is nice to hold, and like I said before, it has terrific battery life. It doesn't have any obvious annoyances, like a poorly placed fingerprint sensor or an extra button for a voice assistant you'll never use or a notch that covers up part of the top of the screen. The 6-inch display is a lower resolution than many of its peers at only 1080p, but I haven't really had an issue with that. It's OLED, so it has deep blacks and vibrant colors and has excellent viewing angles, and it gets bright enough outdoors for sunny days. I really like the Mate 10 Pro's speakers, which automatically switch from mono to stereo when you turn the phone from portrait to landscape. And while I wouldn't say that the Leica-branded rear camera's as good as, say, a Pixel 2 or an iPhone X, it's certainly a capable shooter, with fast focus and performance, good detail, and pleasing, if maybe a little bit saturated, colors. The app has a ton of features and options, including manual controls, various portrait and fake blurring modes, and automatic scene functions that attempt to optimize the camera for whatever your subject happens to be. My favorite mode is the monochrome option, which only uses data from one of the Mate 10 Pro's camera sensors to produce some of the nicest black and white images you can get from a smartphone. But as good as this hardware is, Huawei's software never lives up to the hardware's potential. Now the Mate 10 Pro does run Android 8.0 Oreo, but it has Huawei's EMUI interface on top of it, and this is about as far from a clean version of Android as you can get. The best way I can describe it is it's a poorly made knockoff of iOS. Huawei has customized almost everything about Android, and often it's not in a good way. For example, you can't expand notifications on a lock screen like you can do with every other Android phone. So deleting an email or marking it to do complete can't be done without unlocking the phone. The settings menu and the share sheet have been lifted right out of iOS, and most of the apps for sharing are hidden by default for some inexplicable reason. Sure, you can change some of those things by downloading a different launcher or messaging app or whatever, but you can't change things like the quick settings menu that doesn't match the rest of the notification shade or that awful share sheet. On top of that, there's frustrating bugs. Even when I did download another launcher and attempted to use that, the Mate 10 would frequently reset the default to Huawei's own launcher. This just isn't the kind of software experience I expect on an $800 phone, especially when there are already so many better options available. It's bad enough for me to say that nobody should buy the Mate 10 Pro, especially not at this price. You can get all of the hardware performance with none of the software headaches from any number of other Android phones available, unlocked, or through carriers. Then I think about what would have happened had Huawei been able to launch this phone with AT&T, and how worse everything would have been with a carrier's bloatware loaded on top of it. It just makes me feel like this wouldn't have made much of a difference for Huawei. It's hard to see anyone buying this phone as it is right now, carrier support or not. I think that Huawei has done a lot right with the Mate 10 Pro's hardware, and if it wasn't so expensive, I could perhaps excuse some of its software issues. But this is a premium priced phone, and you should get a premium experience with it, which unfortunately, the Mate 10 Pro doesn't provide. How it's been completely unable to get any carrier support despite coming awfully close. Because there's spies. Trying to do work here, Neelay. What the fuck?

Hey y'all, it's Neil from The Verge. We're here in New York City in front of our office. Tesla gave us a Model 3 for the night, so I'm just gonna cruise around the city, pick up some friends and see what they think. Let's go. This is actually the fully loaded version, so it's extended range, it gets 310 miles on a full charge. It's got all the options. So the car starts at 35K, that's what Tesla says, but this model, all the way loaded up, red paint, fancy wheels, the whole nine, is 60K basically. So, pretty up there. And the first person we're gonna pick up is Ashley Carman, our great gadget reporter who's been reviewing a lot of cars for us. There she is. Can I have Ashley? Ellen, Becca's here too. Hey Becca. How you doing? So Ashley, you are a gadget reporter and circuit breaker. You have done a bunch of screen drives for us. You did a BMW 5 Series, you know Rolls Royce? Yep. You know Hyundai? Yep. Hyundai was nicer than Rolls I think. I am gonna ask you to do a series of challenges in this car, because you're looking around, there are no buttons, there's no knobs. And I've also never been in a Tesla before. You've never been in a Tesla before. So this is all new to me. So if you've been in a Model S, you'll probably be able to figure this out pretty easy. Challenge one. Okay. I just want you to turn on some music. Very basic, people do it in cars all the time. It's very basic until you have cameras on you. Um, okay, let me see. I'm gonna go with the music note. Okay, I'm gonna press the magnifying glass. I'm gonna put a Fiona Apple. Beautiful. Because that is for some reason, I think it's the winter, it's making me move. Very dramatic choice. I want you to change the direction of the air vents. Okay, so I see temperature here. Manual. There you go. Is it seriously gonna be this? Yeah. What? Is that cool? So the way this works. Such a crazy. There's a jet that blows up and a jet that blows out and when you move this around. Yeah. Um, those two interact and it blows in a faster and slower and it directs the air towards where you're going. This is just not how I think about vents. It's so cool. Yeah, that's pretty dope. I want you to lock the doors. Okay, well there's no locks, I don't think. I'm gonna go back to this handy dandy car menu. I'm in the locks menu. I found the locks menu. I will tell you that this confused the hell out of me earlier. I don't know, Neely. I'm in the locks menu. This feels like the place. You are in the locks menu. It's right here. Beep. Oh. That's the door lock. I don't even think to look up there. It's funny because it's the main thing you want to do. So it's up here. It's like, it's always at the root level. This map. Yeah. Get rid of this. It says Google in the corner. Those are some Google Maps. Yeah, see this is what really stands out to me because if you haven't tried a bunch of cars, you don't realize how terrible map interfaces are. So it's Google Maps on the screen but the navigation is actually garnet. Ashley, you're a gadget reporter. This is like a $60,000 gadget. Is this appeal to you? Is this like a good gadget? As far as actual display goes, this literally just feels like an iPad Pro to me. And that's nice. I actually really like this display. I was super skeptical. I even wrote like a hot take when they announced the Model 3. I was like, it needs a heads up display because I love heads up displays. This is around the BMW price range and the actual car feels a lot cheaper. Like this wood paneling, I do not dig. It feels, I don't know. And this side door, like this, it doesn't feel like $60,000 to me because this feels very like utility. Right. All right, well thank you for coming on this ride with me. Yeah. I assume you're going partying now. Yeah, just so ready to turn it up. Yeah. All right. All right, so I've been driving this car for a while now, just picking people up, cruise around the city. It is ridiculously fun to drive. And then the other thing I've noticed is people are just, they are drawn to this car like nothing else. Like the red paint helps. If you want any other color but black, you gotta pay $1,000. I recommend buying the red paint for $1,000. You know, from the outside, just looking at it, it's got a lot of that Model S vibe. It's a little bit more aggressive in its design. Everyone's expectations when they get into it are completely blown up because you're expecting to be in a car. And the inside of this thing looks nothing like a traditional car. So a lot of people have been asking me how this compares to a Model S. Yo, is that Marquez? Marquez! What's up, buddy? Oh, it's good. You own a very famous Model S. Okay. Named Apollo. Yes. I follow the adventures of Apollo all the time. And you spent like three days in a Model 3 recently, right? Yeah, so we spent a little time in Model 3. It compared well in a lot of ways, and it's really familiar. I've driven some other cars that don't compare in like any way to mine. It does a couple things better than my car, and it does a couple things worse. Really? Yeah. What does it do better? The drive here, it's a little faster. The touch response is faster. It's also updated, and maps are a little bit better. The front trunk opening is a little bit finicky on Model S's. Just everyone's Model S. Model 3 is just one hand, closed, easy. If you get used to the air suspension on Model S, then the coils here will feel a little too firm. If you get used to 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds, then this might feel a little less than that. How old is your Model S? About a year and a half. Okay, so here's my big concern with this display. It's basically a giant tablet. Five or 10 years from now, I mean, you don't hold onto a phone for five or 10 years. You don't hold onto a tablet. Is your slowing down at all? Do you think that's gonna make it five years, 10 years, as long as you keep the car? I do view it the same way as you. I did lease my car, anticipating it like a piece of technology, and I don't expect it to last as long as a normal car. So far in my year and a half, it hasn't slowed down, so that's good. I'm hoping it doesn't, because it's kind of important that it keeps up with all the things I need to do, like unlocking it on the screen. I find myself wondering, A, are regular people gonna be able to figure all this out? And two, like honestly, just, it's a computer, and I'm with you, like, I mean, you probably change phones faster than me, but I change my phone every 25 minutes. And like, this kind of scares me. I gotta be honest with you, that it's kind of locked into this, and you can get over the year updates, but are they gonna swap out processors in 10 years, things like that, or are they just gonna call them all back and give people new ones? Yeah, I don't know, I think it would be cool if they actually changed out the computer, because I know the computer in the Model S, I thought they would have updated it already, because it's been the same since the beginning of Model S. Compared to like, autopilot on your S, you find this one better or worse, what was your response like? Yeah, the actual driving part was identical, just having all the cars in front of you and sensing everything around you is the same. But my problem with it is the physical control of autopilot. So on Model S, there's a separate stock, you double tap down, and if you wanna change the distance between the car in front of you, you just rotate it. In this car, you have no autopilot stock, so you double tap the drive stock, and then to adjust the distance of the car in front of you, you have to go into a menu, and hit up and down in the menu on the screen. So you're technically not really driving, and you can afford to look off the road, but I feel like they could have done way better with that. Yeah, I feel like they went, this is a weird phrase, maximally minimum. Yeah. Like, there's as little stuff as you can have over here, and sometimes when you're actually just driving, you want those controls around you. Yeah, some of these buttons are unassigned, for the most part, and they can, as they learn about how people use the software, assign them, so I think they can use that right wheel to control distance, because right now it's unassigned while you're in autopilot, that would be easy. So this car, I was saying earlier, is almost 60K, because it's all optioned up. Yeah. And the Model Model S is, I don't think anybody gets one, it's close to that range too. Would you get this spec'd up, versus getting a Model S at the base level? I think at 60 grand, for roughly what this is, I would pick an optioned up Model 3. Really? Because baseline Model S, you don't get autopilot, right? You have to pay extra. Baseline Model S, you don't get glass roof. Baseline Model S, you don't get premium speakers. So it'll feel similar, but I feel like you'll get a better experience with an optioned up Model 3. That's just my opinion, I haven't driven a baseline Model S. I could be proven wrong. But Tesla will always tell you Model S is a better car. But that's just my opinion on, if you're gonna drop exactly 60 grand, that's probably where I would lean. All right, well I have stolen you, and driven you around in circles too much for the day. I'm gonna let you go. You wanna plug your channel? Yo, MKBHD on YouTube, or any other social. I did a Tesla video, it might have been this exact same car. I think it was the exact same car. It was this exact same car. I changed it from auto focus to the version of the car. That's amazing. Take it easy. Thanks brother. I gotta get this thing back to the Tesla dealership. Oh hey, Lauren. Lauren, do you wanna come with me to the meat packing district? I do. Because I have to get this car back to Tesla. You know, I love those clubs. Who doesn't love a hot club? So this is Lauren Grush. You probably know from Space X. I cover the other Elon company. So when you think about Elon, right, obviously Space X really inspires people. Oh yeah. You know, it's funny, I saw some comment the other day that was talking about just the kind of the sheer difference between how the two companies are covered. You know, Space X has got its criticism and people who like to criticize it, but overall most people kind of acknowledge that the company has been a big disruptor in like a very old-timey industry. Ironically, Space is kind of set in old ways. But I wonder, you know, the way Tesla is covered is like they have competitors. Space X doesn't have like consumer level competitors the way Tesla is. Yeah, I mean they have like one or two major competitors, but in Space, having competition is, everyone kind of says it's good. The more other companies elevate, it all elevates the industry. It's definitely not the same field of cars by any means. You know, and the difference too, I think, is this is more to the words of the consumer, you know, and Space X, you know, not everybody launches rockets. You know, not everybody needs a rocket to be launched. So it's a very different type of market and maybe that's kind of why things are different. It just sounds like they have a lot of production problems and that is just not an issue for Space X. If anything, they have an abundance of rockets because they keep landing them all the time. So when you're in this car and you're like looking around it, do you see any like family ties between all the Elon companies? Elon loves a streamlined aesthetic. He's doing something with these cars that make them look really different. If you look at all the cars around us, they all have grills, they need air intakes for their engines. This car doesn't need one, so they just flattened out the front of the car. Like they've designed it around being an electric car. And all my stuff is up in the hood right now. Yeah, that's true. And yeah, that front trunk is actually pretty useful. So we're, I'm gonna do something. So we're on the West Side Highway. I'm just gonna put the hammer down. What's the hammer? What's that? Can you even do that? Can you go? Ah! Ah! Oh my God, please don't put that in the video. Ah! Ah! Jeez! That's like, that's like a freaking roller coaster ride. Yeah, I mean this car just has a ton of torque. I like speed, I just, it's unexpected. That's the idea. And it's also a car. Like, I don't like cars. You don't like cars? Well, I do like cars if I'm in control. Nice. Do you want to drive? No. You sure? Maybe. Let's do it. It's not my car. So very basic stuff. Yeah, what do I do? First, your mirrors. Oh. I gotta go. Phil, Phil, come back! Stop! What's wrong? Nothing's wrong, I don't think. Put the hazards on, put the hazards on! I don't know how. Go around us! You guys, we need the key card! It's in the car with you. Wait, oh. Okay, we're good, we're good. Put your foot on brake. And then now you're gonna drive. Okay, go. Sorry. No, I didn't know where the key card was. Oh, that's fun. Do you see what I'm saying? That's fun.

Do you ever raise your arm to the sky in an effort to get cell phone service? Does putting our arms up actually help us get bars? You might think putting your arm up will get your phone close to the cell tower or improve your chances of picking up a signal. In reality, cell signals are more or less homogeneous and surround us. If you don't have a signal now, the length of your arm won't be enough to get it. I talked to Lin Zhang, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University, about this behavior. I think in general it's insane. Yeah? In general, the general answer is insane. It doesn't help that much. You may think that the cell phone signal is like a spotlight when you're on stage. It's not. It's already become a fuse. Therefore, when you raise your hand or change your orientation, the effect is very small. In general, I don't think it helps a lot. With that said, walking a half block or so can help, especially if you're in a city. Because if you're in a city, you're receiving signals as they bounce off buildings, so walking around a bit could change how the signal gets to you. As for the actual phones themselves, there isn't much you can do to change the service you get. The manufacturers already do rigorous testing around cell signal, and barring fluke situations like Antenna Gate with the iPhone 4, they do a good job of maintaining calls. Of course, the service provider you have can also affect your service, because not all providers are created equal. But if you're in a dire situation and you need a cell phone service, Lin recommends getting on your feet and walking. Look at your situation. If you don't have good call quality, it's because a lot of people are nearby you, like the crowded concert. Walking a few meters wouldn't solve the problem. But if you happen to be in an urban canyon, like in downtown area with other buildings, could potentially obstruct signals. Or you're indoor, that there's some location that you don't have good reception, maybe walk a little bit. The more you walk, maybe the better chance you have a solution. You heard the man. Get out there. Maybe you'll wander into service.

Hey, this is Dani with The Verge and we are here checking out the phase, which is a really unique replacement for the traditional needle on the tone arm of a turntable. So the way this works, it's got little sticky pieces of rubber on the bottom and all you have to do is plop it on top of a record, give it a little push to make sure that it's sticky and then it will read the time code of any DVS enabled software that you're DJing with. So now without the use of the tone arm, I can play this song and actually have control over the time code without even having a needle physically on the record. The really cool thing about it is that you can do it in the air, you can walk away from the turntable. It's so wild. Traditionally you use it on the turntable to scratch or to queue up your next record. The way it's working is that this is sending a radio frequency signal to this box right here and then this is connecting the turntables with the mixer and communicating with your computer. The whole thing is very compact. This also acts as a charger for the two phases and they say that you should get about 10 hours of use out of only one hour of charging, which is really impressive. The whole package should cost about $300 when it comes out, which they say should be around summertime but there's no hard set date. It could seem a little gimmicky when you're like, oh well why would I need to do this? The problem is with a lot of traditional needles, this is the point that is in contact with a piece of vinyl when you're playing with a traditional tonearm and that can get screwed up in a number of ways. A piece of dust could get caught underneath this. Say you're playing in a very loud environment and people get too close to you and they bump you or the bass gets too rumbly and loud. All of that can cause skips in a record. With this, that just eliminates any skips from happening at all and plus gives you a little bit of a fun visual effect on top of it. From what I can tell, there's virtually no latency, which is absolutely insane. It solves a lot of problems. It's really compact. It works with any turntable that you already have. You just take the puck, you slap it on, give it a little stick and then at the end of your set you can take it out. It all is contained in this one little box and you can pop it in your bag and take it with you to your next gig. I think it's a really exciting product. Everybody here has been very excited to see it in action and there you go. The face should be available in the next few months. It's so wild.

Okay, it's been six months since Apple first announced the iPhone X. And around five months since Google first announced the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL. Now these are both great phones, which is what you might expect because they're both flagship phones. But after actually using them for a while, it's clear, to me at least, which one of these is the better phone. You mean the one that doesn't cost a thousand dollars and is still a fantastic phone? Uh, no. Oh, I missed this. Now the iPhone X was a pretty radical redesign for Apple. It's the first iPhone without a home button, it has an OLED display, its size is somewhere in between a regular sized iPhone and a plus iPhone, and you can unlock it with your face. Okay, the smaller Pixel 2 doesn't look all that different from the first Pixel, but the Pixel 2 XL looks different. It has a nearly all-screen front design. Both have OLED displays, and keep in mind, this is only Google's second generation of Pixel phones, and already they're up there competing with the top smartphone makers. Okay, well, the iPhone X is fast. Like ridiculously fast. Its processor is faster than processors and a lot of laptops. And in the time that I've been using it, I've been kind of blown away by it. Okay, well, the Pixel 2 is no slouch either. It's running on a Snapdragon 835 processor, which is powering all of the top Android phones right now. It might not be a bionic processor, but it's still pretty fast. One of the biggest changes with the iPhone X though is that Apple has also redesigned the way you interact with the phone. So the way you switch between apps or swipe to see notifications. Now that I've used this for a while, I really like it. Okay, I'll admit, it took me way longer to get used to these interactions than I thought it would. And I wouldn't be surprised if other people got the new phone and hated it. But now when I pick up other phones, I just think the iPhone X's UI is probably the way to do it. The Pixel 2 has some UI changes too. Although that's because of Android and not specific to Pixels. Like the search bar is now at the bottom of the home screen. And the display is always on, which seems like a small thing, but after a few months you kind of find that you can't live without it. I mean, one of the things that really annoys me about that phone is that if you just want to see the time, you have to pick the phone up. No, I don't. Okay, what time is it? Now if you've been seriously considering these phones for the past few months, then you've probably read all of the camera comparisons. In fact, the Verge did one that you should go check out. But to sum it up, both of these phones have excellent cameras. On the Pixel 2 XL, a lot of the camera improvements are happening on the software side. So for example, this now shoots in portrait mode with a nice soft background, which the iPhone has done for a while. But this phone doesn't have two cameras. Yeah, but the iPhone X not only has portrait mode, it also has studio lighting now. Like this. That looks awful. Well, it's pretty great when it works. Okay. Also, we think that the Pixel 2 XL shoots a little bit better in low light. Just saying. Yeah, but not that much better. Also, the iPhone X and the iPhone 8 both support wireless charging, which your phone doesn't. Yeah, but you can charge the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL with USB-C, which is how I charge my MacBook, which means I'm just carrying around fewer cables. Okay, well, your phone doesn't have a headphone jack. Neither does yours. I'm just pointing out you're finally catching up with the times. Your point makes zero sense. Another thing you're only going to get with the iPhone is Siri. Now, I know you may be thinking Siri is useless, but the more I've used it, the better it has gotten. You're kidding. You're kidding, right? No. Okay, let's do a test. I'm going to squeeze the phone. Who is the star of the movie The Post? Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and 13 others. Okay, no problem. Hey, Siri, who is the star of the movie The Post? I found nine movies for you to choose from. Post Grad, The Post, Post Pop Depression, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, The Last Post, New Mommy Fitness, How to Get Your Body Back, Functional Post Pregnancy, X... Yeah, I'm sorry. Google Assistant is just better. It just is. But I have Face ID. I wouldn't go as far as saying that Face ID is the best feature of the new iPhone X, but I think it's the most significant. It's the one that feels like it's propelling us forward into the future. Now, when I need to unlock my phone or log into apps or even just pay a friend with a peer-to-peer app, I just use my face. Okay, we literally wrote an article about how Face ID was unusable if the phone's not directly in front of you, like when you're in the car, and said that you missed having the home button. Yeah, but it's grown on me. I mean, I still think the in-app experience is a little bit more useful than using it to unlock the phone, but how's your fingerprint sensor? It's fine. It's totally fine. It works, and it's in the right place where it should be on the back of the phone. Yeah, so what happens when you have your phone down on the table face up? Well, I guess that's bad if you're the kind of person who puts the phone down napper. Also, I have an emoji! Oh, good God. What this really comes down to after using both of these phones for a while is ecosystem. Which ecosystem do you want to live in? Or be locked into. But really, this is a point that we agree on. I mean, it's all about the apps and services that you use the most. Like iMessage. If you love iMessage, then no matter how fantastic the Pixel 2 or the Pixel 2XL are, you're not going to really want that phone because you can't get iMessage. And if you don't care about iMessage, and you don't care about using AirPlay or AirDrop or having an Apple Watch, and you want the most highly optimized version of Android that you can get, then you're going to want this phone. I mean, I still use the same Google apps and services that you use on that phone, and I didn't pay $1,000 for this. What she's really trying to say is that they're both great phones, and you probably can't go wrong with either of them, but there is one that is slightly better, which is why it costs slightly more. You would say that. So these are my long-term impressions of what it's like to use the iPhone 10. Hey! We're next. You're back! I'm back! Where have you been? I was off shooting my Verge video series, Next Level. Oh, is that your Verge video series about innovation? Yes. You should watch it. You would learn something.

You Everybody welcome a Circa Baker live the verges gadget show I'm Neil I'm telling the editor the verge Paul Miller's here Hello, you might notice we're not on our set right now for cigarette or live We're actually downstairs on the street in a Tesla Model 3 that Tesla was foolish enough to give us for the day We're gonna make a whole long YouTube video with this car It'll go up later this week our friend Marquez is gonna be in it which is really cool But this car is basically a gadget and we have a gadget show we're doing the show inside again. We're in a gadget So just real basics It's a you know an EV. It's good 310 miles range is a long-range long-range version Tesla says the car starts at thirty five thousand dollars. This is a sixty thousand dollar car It's basically got every option autopilot the red paint is a thousand dollars If you don't pay the thousand dollars, you can only get black. It's a fancy wheels And you can I love cars. So this car is totally spec'd up But the main thing about it that I just wanted everybody on circuit breaker live to see is this screen Well good thing I brought the Paul Paul's got the Paul cam going This is the only interface for the car, right? You obviously you've got a brake pedal on an accelerator and a steering wheel, but there are no vents. There's no ignition key There's no nothing Almost everything in this car. There's no instrument cluster Everything in this car happens on the screen. I feel like the first question is how do you know how fast you're going? Right. Okay, so you can see here the cars in park. I'm a right. It's not on Now what what's supposed to happen is the car is paired to your phone as you approach the car It'll turn on you get in and just drive away Okay, I don't have that set up yet because it's just a it's a it's a review unit basically You have a little key. Okay, like a hotel key and there's a spot right here. There's one on the outside of car, too I just put it here. I Have my phone oh, yeah now the car is on We're in drive and I forgot the buckle my seat belt It's a narking pull out and if I just give it a little yeah, you can see that speedometers right there And you can see these are the front sensors. There's obviously rear sensors as well push that button to go back in park That's it like that those are basically the physical controls there's the gear shift lever here there's a turn signals here There's you know joysticks for the screen here. There's obviously Pretty good horn. I would say But Paul I want you to try to use the screen because it's nuts So a thing that you often do in a car, huh is you change where the vents are pointing the air at your face? Oh sure give that a shot sure just grab the vents There's just a shelf So give try it use the screen. Okay, put that Paul cam down You hold the pole hold the Paul cam for you. Okay. Well, I want a lot of wind in my face. Yep, okay But how do I point them? Let it crank your temperature Okay, just roll with me. All right, it's right here. It's okay turn this down. What and just sound is horrible There's wind in our face. So It's all here. Look at this You do it so if you if you're looking at this on the screen here you can see there's no events There's just this shelf. This area is a vent that blows up and that's a vent that blows out Okay, and when you move this around this is basically the location of the air that's pointing when you move it around The jet that's pointing up and the jet that's pointing out They like interfere with each other and it points a single jet of air at your face, which is crazy town Oh good, like most cars are just like you just point the fins of the vent Tesla's like what if you want one giant thing and like you can just point it that way. This is so cool It's so much more complicated than a normal car, but it's like in the best way. It's so gadgety other stuff If you look this is the radio interface. It's obviously Tesla. There's an LTE connection up here It's set someone's a huge smash mouse falls play with it earlier So you can obviously search if I hold down this button. I Can say play Kanye West? And does voice search it'll just like light up a Kanye song over here, which is pretty cool There you go. That worked pretty well. There's our first copyright strike for the day And then this is pretty cool. So this whole center console. There's nothing here But if you open this up, maybe you can see it. These are phone chargers for Get my thing my case is interfering here. That's a phone charger if my case was on there would work better You can see it's got little USB ports so you can swap them out for USB C or lightning however you want to So I think that's pretty cool. There are no power outlets. Somebody asked me on Twitter about power outlets in the car If you there's a place for a dashcam. I have not yet seen a traditional I've got my first Tesla issue. I believe in you. Oh look it's yelling at me It says close console lid gently Okay, so we're being real nice to the car and then I have one other question from Twitter here I just want to pull it up our friend Sean Hollister says how are the volume controls? Okay There everything's on screen. So there's a volume control here and then there's a volume control Here and if I hit this It's play pause And then and then lastly this is just basic Tesla stuff. You can navigate it's got Google Maps on here And pull that down. So that's nice. And then I want to point this out just because it's circuit breaker live It's really silly. There's Easter eggs in the car right now We can bring up the sketchpad We can But Sir sir cure break breaker breaker. That's it. All right, we got to get out of here Our directors are yelling at us right now We've got a whole rest of the show Jake and Ashley are gonna do the news But literally we have to get out of the car and run upstairs. So take it away Jake and Ashley We'll see you in one second Apple's home pod. Sorry. I'm still practicing the fact that we're doing this show. Oh, no I know that was very Listen to this without any visuals actually. Yeah, I hope I hope they make it. I'm sure they'll slowly Apple's home pod came out last week and turns out this thing is Basically so hard to get into that if you need to repair it, you're basically buying another one So Apple released repair pricing out of warranty. That is 279 dollars that is 80% of the cost of a brand new home pod So you're not really repairing it so much as you are like giving them some parts and getting a slight discount on a new one What do you think someone would do to this home pod? Okay That is the thing like you would have to like knock this from a very high shelf and apparently the thing like do you see I fix It's tear down. I saw some of it. They had to saw it open in order They took a saw and like cut it into Which like suggests it will be hard to break but also explains why it is so expensive to repair That the like slightly good news is if you're worried Apple's warranties only 29 dollars only lasts for two years So you're gonna drop it do within two years don't use this as a portable speaker Essential we've been tracking their progress since one of those exciting way back when they launched and It turns out that they sold less than 90,000 phones during their first six months as a company I think the exact number from IDC was 88,000 So that's not great It's kind of disheartening for anyone who cares about essential cares about having different Android phones available to them They're you know flagship quality and on top of that essential has been going through a bunch of issues where the camera wasn't really working Well when it first launched they continuously are adding updates to the camera Android Oreo still isn't running on essential and they're like, oh we can't actually put 8.0 on we have to now put 8.1 because of stability issues, so All around just watching essential Trying so hard and it's like it tried so many cool ambitious things it definitely like made a statement when it launched but I Mean, it's just so clear that it is like immensely hard to launch a like flagship priced phone Even if you're Andy Rippon, yeah, like it's not especially generation one There's just like not a lot of reason to trust it and buy in until you've like seen the other options, you know And like clearly it wasn't perfect. So yeah, hopefully they get on the show to very difficult perpetual lesson Amazon is actually doing a reset sort of of its discounted phone program It's been going for like two years and basically just like the Kindle you would get a discount if you let them put some ads on Your lock screen Except now they are getting rid of the ads It's gonna the phones are gonna cost more now they'll cost $20 more But if you already own one you get to keep it for you know, whatever you think can't charge you more There's still gonna be some ads on the phone. There's gonna be like a lock screen There's gonna be a widget on the home screen And there are Amazon's pre-installed apps But the lock screen itself is not gonna have ads on it, which means you can You know set your own wallpaper for the first time which is really nice I think it's sort of weird that like this was like that was the defining feature of This program that like there's a lock screen ad and now it's not But I guess it's still good that they're now Like yelling ads, but my god, I would hate to have ads on my phone Like right like you look at the last year your phone so many times a day. It's valuable real estate It's like a magazine's cover. Yeah, you know, that's expensive for advertisers So this I can imagine maybe make good money maybe but apparently $20 a user seems to be like they're like about what it was working for Like about what it was worth, because that's why they're charging more now. So maybe it wasn't that big cool and Last week we talked about the S9 Samsung's rumored new phone We talked about the dual cameras how they're gonna be vertical kind of like the iPhone 10 This week or earlier this week We talked we saw another rumor about the S9 having a headphone jack Which would be a reversal from the S8 and just a totally different idea Than basically all the current flagships on the market now, you can see the headphone jack right here This is actually the Dex pad so when the S8 came out Samsung also launched a product called the Dex which basically lets you use your phone like a computer and This is the version two of it. It should still work with the S8 supposedly rumors But this one lets you lay the phone flat So maybe you can use it as a touchpad or something like we saw Razer had something sort of similar where it slotted into the actual laptop, but it was the idea of the keypad So remember Dan Seifert reviewed the the last version of Dex and like it seemed it was actually pretty good and pretty usable Yeah, I sat next to him while he was listening and I was like that's cool Like it's an interesting idea for people who like bring their phones from home or something For sure, sure. And also I'm just completely all about the headphone jack coming back every time I go to plug in headphones into my Pixel I just like You cry a little bit inside? It's I I perpetually forget that it doesn't have a headphone jack and then just yeah, and then your heart is broken over and over again Yeah, it's worth noting that also it has a Bixby button still So you're getting one thing back, but you're keeping Bixby one day. They will allow it to be reassigned Good for you Jake. Sorry. I just slapped my microphone. I apologize Um, and finally this week we have some incredible dongle news we have a four-way Lightning dongle two lightning out two lightning in all at 90 degree angles This is what's I don't know crazy contraption Okay, let me also just say this product is called node normal name, but it's from a company called I love handles I have no idea if this thing is certified in any way. It only costs 20 dollars. You can't get anything No way, even in white plastic involving apple for 20 dollars. So There's yeah So the idea is you're just supposed to plug all of your devices into this you just mix and match and do whatever you want I don't have any real understanding so you have to have at least one like power cord going into it, but theoretically like Certain like an ipad could be plugged in and then charge a pencil out the other corner, right? So like maybe you don't have to have a power cord come in I the possibilities are either endless or zero because it doesn't work. I'm not sure we have to get this in I'm really excited for this Wow, 20 dollars. It makes the pencil charging look not so you can also infinitely string these together I don't know if that's true. You should not try this. Yeah, please don't explode. It's the office Okay, so this might be our last week of news Maybe all news is ending News will continue to happen. Jake and I just will guide you through the news But next week we're going to try this new thing where Jake and I are going to do ask circuit breaker So if you ask some questions in the comments or in the chat right now Next week Jake and I will try to answer them So give us some we're leaving a super open-ended here. Yeah, ask circuit breaker choose your favorite. Oh and wonderful timing Paul and Eli have made it up I'm glad you put up return. How was the tesla? It was amazing. I've uh, i've been in the youtube chat this whole time I left some great comments about you. Great. It's great. The tesla was incredible Getting up here was incredible. That was super fun. Uh, we're gonna make a whole video with that car Like later literally later today Uh marquez brownlee is on his way to the studio right now We're gonna hang with him in the car. Ashley's gonna hang with me in the car Uh, so look for that on youtube later this week, by the way, thank you. Jake and ashley for covering for vamping We got back here But heim guardberg is here now. What's up, man? Hey, uh, you have brought us. It's just an incredible bundle of wires Well, all I can see is pikachu So so last time on the show we had regular wireless chargers Yeah, uh wireless chargers have mutated since then and now they're weird and now they have hubs. Yeah Wireless chargers are out wireless charging hubs are in i'm into it So i've got a bunch of those here Uh, I guess we'll start with this is kind of your your standard most normal vanilla one. This is the nomad wireless charging hub Yeah, it's a wireless charger on top Uh on the bottom there's a little hub down here. You have a couple usb ports. You have a usb c to usb c port Can I just be honest with you? This thing looks a damn mess. Yeah Just like straight up like this is a product where at anker headquarters. They were like, you know, steve You just gotta try again, man Yeah, so this is nomad which just won an anchor's competitor You could see where they were going with like the cord management and like But then you have everything kind of wrapping around. Yeah, so wait, so there's power in power in And then how does your power in so there's there's a okay. It's a regular plug regular power plug Um, you have usb c port three regular usb ports and the idea is that you can charge up to five devices Wireless on top so down here something plugged in. Yeah, I think so confirmed confirmed Hey, it works. Okay. I'll take it actually has these like a couple lights down here So you can actually figure out what's plugged in where this one costs, uh, this one costs 80 so expensive relative to wireless charging and Hubs, but like if you combine the two together are good hubs like 34 Good wireless chargers 30 40 I would prefer this if they didn't try to manage the cords like trying to hide the cords makes it look messier than it is well Then I have then I have a product for you because Is this officially licensed? I think this is officially licensed game stop is selling it This is the techno fun pikachu and pikachu induction charger Uh, wait, wait now what is happening on the show? You just look at pikachu like this This is the first press photo I ever saw. Yeah, where do you think the the plugs are? Oh god Yeah, see that was a big worry. That's good news. Everybody. They're on the side on the side plugs are on the side So again, you have barrel plug Uh, you have three regular usb ports for for charging your non-wireless charging things Take your phone put it on top Take your phone put it on top It'll charge Is that precarious? Uh, it is a little precarious. It doesn't here it it doesn't It's I feel I feel less good about putting putting my you know You know one thousand dollar phone on top of here than I do on say this Yeah, uh, and I will of course point out the true pokemon future of the cheeks on the pikachu actually light up Uh, so, you know, it's charging are there going to be other pokemon that lend their abilities? to your phone Like we can only hope blast toys How much does that cost so this costs 60? Uh, is the power in on the side? Yeah power in is on the side. This is horrible They got halfway through designing this and getting where do you want to put the power in? Do you like I don't know? Okay, 60 dollars 60 dollars, it's a good like joke gift, um Next up we have the sign of old Uh, this is not a wireless charger sure isn't this is a usb battery pack. It's one of the big ones This is actually a weird thing. This is a prototype that the company sent us. They were doing a thing on indiegogo The indiegogo page is gone. The company does not seem to exist on the internet except for facebook page I'm, still trying to figure out so you have the last one. So this might be the only one in existence, but What it is is it is a modular wireless charging bank. So you can take these sign of old modules And you can just clip them on so you got so that's just a plug that's just a giant plug but It's a you can clip them on both ends you can clip them on both ends. This is this is ridiculous and uh, You doing it? Oh my god. It's horrible. You gotta do the clips this whole this whole idea is horrible Wait, wait, wait. No if you get a call This isn't gonna I don't understand this and I don't know why people are Try to back this. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure they are. All right So this was all just a prelude. This is a prelude though to you saying there's actually a good usb-c charger So there is a good usb-c charger hub. This is the hyperdrive usb-c hub wireless charger It's made by a company called hyper which started on kickstarter back when the first usb-c macbooks came out They make these like aluminum docks aluminum usb-c hubs that kind of like seamlessly clip onto the side of your macbook this is Their next thing which is to combine that with a wireless charger. This is a prototype They are currently running a kickstarter campaign or just finished. Um, this actually no longer is what the product looks like They've redesigned it. They've gotten rid of this integrated cable so that you don't have to be as restricted by it Basically, this is a full usb-c hub usb-c usb-c usb-c us sorry usb's usb-c which can also do power pass-through Ethernet hdmi sd and micro sd So basically every port that is currently missing from your usb-c laptop and then you like flip it up and do one of these guys And then you can flip it up. It can charge flat Oh, you know, it's funny is your computer doesn't have my computer doesn't have ports on that side So i'm gonna put on that side. That's why they've gotten rid of the integrated cable. Come on, man And you just plug that in okay, can I be honest with you And it's gonna charge and it'll charge presumably it works. It'll charge. Yep. It works. I've been using it all week It charges you get all the ports like this is the this is the desk thing for you. Let me be honest with you This product is a repudiation Of everything usb-c is meant to stand for yes, right? Because what you are really supposed to have is usb-c accessories and peripherals not another nasty hub so you can actually connect the The only usb-c port on this is one so you can pass through charging, right? That like when you come to work in the morning, you just plug this into your laptop. Can I just tell you if you want? Like a usb-c ethernet Yeah, I want like actual usb-c devices and then like a just a not just an ever expanding array of Dongles, I feel like this is the this is what usb-c promised you you sit down at your desk You plug one thing in it charges your laptop. It powers your usb-c display You can finally look at pictures off of sd cards You can finally look at pictures off of sd cards Why can't I just have these ports in my laptop? Can I just tell you a story? You want your tiny little laptops with your dainty little backpacks and your little espressos We set my desk at vox media just over there is right next to our it department Which is super fun, right because I get to see all the comings and goings are this company's vp of engineering Rolled up to them the other day and said I just need some dongles because my computer doesn't have enough ports And they just started foisting dongles on it It was the saddest thing I've ever seen So so your dream version of this my juice is one with eight usb-c ports My yeah, the idea of usb-c is that it will replace usb-a And what is happening right now is everything is still usb-a and we're just getting we just live in dongle dongle city dongle city, but if we're living in dongle city dongle cities have a great place to live it is it isn't but Yeah, this is the mayor of dongle already living there. This is this is this is the dongle that you want. Yeah, sure Yeah, great. It's the best real estate in dongle town. Yeah, and that's cool. I just gotta get real quick So actually I asked r.i.t department. There is there is a catch though It is the mayor of dongle town. Just to be clear. This is what you're mad about right neil That there's only one that there's no that there's big usb's there's three No, i'm not those are I want those to be on here Where they belong? Because I need that it's just like go backwards in time So more useful that's the wrong approach though because we need to embrace Usb-c like it is a better spec when it's done, right? Which is another barrel of worms that is a completely different rant, but when it's done right, it's good like you the That broken line everybody Usb-c does this We've all agreed that the pikachu is the must buy right the pikachu is here's the problem with this There is actually one problem other than that It's a kickstarter project and you can't actually buy it yet Is that it was on kickstarter for a 99 early bird and its final price is going to be 160 Which is a lot of money how much it costs for the usba port and a laptop 15 cents What are we doing to ourselves? Just just ease us through the transition. That's all i'm saying. All right. I'm very sorry that Your situation is so complicated. How are those usb-c headphones coming along? Um, not great. Yep. There it is. Okay, we're good Sorry, buddy. Thank you for joining us Uh, I have some exciting news lauren good is coming back with new show. Well, it's real show versus is coming back with lauren good Uh, i've seen some of the early season. It's super funny Uh, we have a quick trailer for that and then we're gonna be back chris welch is going to show us what's going on in wireless earbuds You Hi i'm lauren so am I and we're finally back with a new season of versus You might know this video series is the one in which the right lauren as in the one who's usually correct tries to talk sense into this lauren about gadgets One of the amazing things about the internet of things is that normal stuff is becoming wi-fi connected Like this brita picture. So if you want to do something else like charge your phone or stick an sd card in there at the Same time you need to use a bunch of adapters. I love adapters this is a roomba and this It's clear to me at least which one of these is the better phone You mean the one that doesn't cost a thousand dollars and is still a fantastic phone So you can pair it with bluetooth headphones and have your books read aloud to you. Oh for f**k's sake Just get a tablet then Are you guys fighting over your brita pictures again? Look, it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the gadget decisions. You're supposed to be making these days So our goal is to lay it all out there for you and tell you which are the best products That you should buy and use or when it's better not to buy a new product at all Which is probably at least 80 of the time. Yeah, she's always as much of a downer. I'm a realist Anyway, go check out the new season of versus you can find it right here on youtube and of course on the verge.com You're back Sorry two laurins at once we everyone needed a break A lot to think about uh, chris falch is here. Hey chris. Yes. How's it going? It's going you have brought us A selection of charging cases are very interesting and wireless earbuds. They also contain earbuds Okay, so what is you've reviewed a bunch of these lately AirPods are right here. Everyone knows what those are. What's the rest of the stuff? Well, the air pods are we're talking about first because I mean they work so well It's been 14 months since they came out And you're probably wondering if anyone else has beaten them or put out something better and the answer is no uh, they've gotten close, uh, there's There's a big market right now. Uh, there's some of these that cost 300 some cost 150 There's samsung boos a bunch of brands are taking part in this game, but when it comes to like ease of use Sound quality is okay. It's good enough for most people And the battery life, uh, the air pods are still on their own pedestal also the case sizes They vary a lot. So the boos is my favorite case. I think just kind of the most like a futuristic gadget It's got lights on both both sides Lights are what you want to see you when you but here's I actually like the samsung one better. That's real nice. Look at this Yeah, that's the boos is huge. The samsung is nice. What i'm going to just point out though is all these are huge Yeah compared to air pods. Yeah, because most of the battery inside is going to charge the ear pods two more times So do the air pods though and like they have 24 hours of extra battery life in the case Just like take out those boos ones. Here's an air pod. Everybody knows this looks like here is this generosity Is this just apple as the w1 chip and w1? I think this is for the phone calls and like better voice with siri and things like that and uh, whereas these manufacturers focus on Being somewhat subtle. I mean boos isn't great because these actually stick pretty far out of your ear when they're in But these sound better than the air pods like full stop the sound quality is great And those are the samsung ones the base is excellent on the boos. Uh, they cost around 200 right now These are the motorola ones just like look at the comparative size of all these So i'm gonna say something and youtube you're gonna get mad at me and that's fine And you can tell me that you're mad at me but be polite or i'll just i'll just ban you I'm already mad. You haven't even said anything air pods sound horrible. They're horrible sounding Like I don't I just did the whole home pod review and there's all the apple people there I wear air pods in the street and I listen to the home pod and it's like how can you choose a side? How can you choose I can be like i'm buying this limited speaker because it sounds great But then in my everyday life like a tin can is rattling in my ear. I just like I don't understand that so connection quality aside Do any of these really beat apple on sound quality? Uh, the boos do the base is way better than the air pods They're open designs. You can hear things around you which I don't like if you're a runner You're going to be a fan of that. Uh, but the air pods like I don't know how people use these on the subway or like news Any kind of noisy environment? I don't know how you hear your music. You probably turn it up. This is the bone safe levels Yeah, these are the bows. These are the sound sport free. All right So we got uh, john shipment in the chat saying people should just straight up copy air pods I don't think that is currently possible Right apple developed its own chip. They've got their own software in the iphone It's like the w1 the w1 is in a whole bunch of like beats headphones as well Can anybody else compete with that? I mean I think apple realized that you can't just do bluetooth It needs something on top of bluetooth So like w1 handles pairing and handles battery life Which is why these have such better battery life and everything, but I don't like apple's one size fits most approach I mean, that's why I can't use the air pods because they don't fit my ear I bought them twice first when they came out. I was like, oh, these are pretty cool And I brought them back and then i've tried more of these i've been disappointed So I went back like two months ago and maybe I misremembered how they fit But no, they still have this this whole charging case situation is great though Like if you're a gadget person like that samsung charger is real nice These are the old sony's they're new sony's at css these came out last year yet They just so these are the old sony's they changed the case. I mean that case is just real nice All these charging clips are nasty. Yeah, this has got like a 70s kind of vibe to it Maybe but somebody's got one is like newer nicer ones. This is just pure hilarity This is like a pill dispenser for your grandparents It's like, you know, it's not not the most not the like you're going for these jaybirds like all of this I i'm into all of these like charging cases something pocketable is like what you want like these in the bno These are the most expensive pair that we have 300 for these and uh, the sound quality is great. I mean it's banging olivson So they've got really good so they all have the same bluetooth dropout problem. They drop out Here and there for like a split second, but that adds up over Over a day if that happens like 10 or 15 times during the course of your day That's going to be very annoying. Sometimes they're fine. Like you can be at work Here at the office. They're great at the gym. They're awesome. But like walking down the street They just so if you're not an airpods person you got an android phone But you can use airpods with android phone. They work pretty well. Yeah, but they're not they don't do all the things that w1 does But you can use them But if you don't like the way they sound you got an android phone or you just don't want apple stuff Which one do you get? Uh, I would either go for the braggy dash. These are 150 Uh, these are the this is the company that kind of kicked off this whole truly wireless earbuds trend on kickstarter They risked three million dollars. Yeah. Yeah, and this case actually isn't a battery case So these have one charge and once that's gone, you've got to plug them in but it's six hour battery life Which is one hour better than the airpods. So at least they've got that so you can listen to them for longer Uh the bows are good. I mean one One big issue with these is there's often a delay when you watch video. Uh, the audio is like two seconds behind So it's like you're watching a dubbed version of whatever you're watching on youtube or netflix and because they're doing audio processing Yeah, yeah, so there's one that's how these work is there's one master earbud and there's one slave And so your music goes to one earbud back to the other one back to the phone and most of these don't tell the phone To like sync the video with the audio so you wind up with a super annoying delay Some of these are problems that the slow march of technological progress will solve for us, right? There are some things coming this year Qualcomm so they've got a chip coming that's going to help the situation Help out the situation a bit Once these earbuds once these ear earbuds start to use bluetooth 5 that's going to make a big difference as well because When your phone has that and the earbuds have that that should make for a much much better connection But right now these are all bluetooth 4 point something and all these proprietary Yeah, and they fall and they drop out and uh, yeah, i'm just saying earlier we saw the samsung galaxy s9 leaked We have the headphone jack no confusion there any headphones you want But I will say some of these do you have Some of these charging cases You're not on the plane like headphones you're not like on the plane like hang on everybody Let me open up our case Remember when your dad was like turn down the stereo or put some headphones on you plug that like big quarter inch jack and put the Head now turn down the stereo or boot up your weird little ear computer. That's gonna be great. Sorry I'm not i'm really I like technology, but I will say there's something to be said for actual buttons on your earbuds I like the bose of like actual volume buttons or track controls. Yeah, absolutely So whereas on the airpods you do a bunch of siri a bunch of voice controls A lot of these have actual buttons the braggy have buttons that you actually push into your ear. Yeah Which gets which ones are those comfortable? Those are you mentioned that that hurt? Yeah You've got to shove them in your ear because you push the buttons in So when they're inside your ear that gets pretty uncomfortable. So our producers in my ear pointing out that I like regular bluetooth headphones like cans and they have Regular jacks. I can watch movies on the plane. None of these will work with them Yeah so they're for the gym or For a commute and things like that But if you want to watch video, most of these are going to be ruled out the bno actually do do video pretty well So that's a good recommendation, but they're 300 so you're talking serious money and for that much money They really shouldn't have any any kind of dropouts or any you were saying there's like bluetooth 5 a new chip from qualcomm Have you seen any of that stuff demoed? Not yet. I mean it's all on the way So you just gotta hold out hope that it's gonna be better this year. Someone's gonna compete with the airpods 14 months later They're still failing the bluetooth 5 standard for audio isn't super finalized And once that's finalized then that will show this whole situation should get smoother, but it's taking time. I mean These have been out We've seen these for a couple years now and none of them have managed to top apple I see i'm now seeing airpods everywhere. I never see any of these they still look dumb. They're never gonna look good You see them everywhere. They're accepted now apple's way out of the curve. They pulled it off They don't look crazy. Well, thank you for that frustrating Several minutes of our lives Thank you very much Chris Absolutely Just buy an iphone buy airpods buy a homepod sign up for apple music iCloud does something do something with that just have a great time. Absolutely build those walls man. Okay, uh, paul You did something this week. Oh, yeah. Yeah Sometimes I feel like the news just goes kind of over my head and like what what's the bigger picture? Mm-hmm. So I came up with in this segment i'm calling explain yourself So check it out Iphone battery replacement weights are shortening analyst says like jacob castor I see you jake Are you busy? Well, what do you what do you think about this story iphone battery replacements? Weights are shortening analyst says well You know, I have an iphone 6 and uh, it hasn't shortened for me so i'm gonna say this is a lie Oh, you're still waiting. I am still waiting. Hey jake. Can you hold the mic in a chat? Yeah, I would love to This is a new segment. I'm calling Explain yourself. Okay. What do I do in this segment? You just explain yourself You just explained yourself You wrote an article saying that basically it's easy to get a battery for your iphone. Is that true? Um, it's getting easier like before if you went to an apple store I'm like, hey, I want to get a new battery for 29. They might have been like come back in two months, but now They might go Okay, you know in two weeks you can have a battery so it's not great yet, but it's getting better You still why you might be able to get better. I think it depends on Which model of iphone you have and probably also which store you're in but this is just apple damage control Overall, this is like not great for apple and I think it is good for customers Which is like probably the coolest thing about all this so even if you have to wait It's gonna be better for you Yeah, I mean I think if you have an iphone that you like aren't quite ready to give up But like the battery is sort of giving out at the end of the day like for 29 Dollars, you should totally go and replace it the wait times are getting shorter and shorter as they get more batteries in stock Definitely put it on your to-do list last question Is apple an evil company that was slowing people's phones down on purpose to make them upgrade? I'm a I'm a truther. So yes We heard it here first Jake paid by apple to not say anything the real truth I'm not bound by any You know payments explain yourself with your friend paul miller Good job everybody I feel like the title of your segment is the question. I now wish to ask you All right, ashley's here hi ash hey, we're all dressed up for circuit breakers Yeah, you know, I just really wanted to flex for the show. What what is happening to your face? So, uh the toy fair is this weekend. Oh, yeah, and i've covered it for the past few years and Companies are now getting a little smart in introducing their toys before the toy fair. So this is one I wrote about this week It is hero vision, which is an ar toy from hasbro and marvel So you get to be iron man? I then play a game for several years now. I've wanted to be iron man. I think a lot of people have yeah, yeah, wait, okay So this is basically a The vr headset exactly and your phone goes in and you strap your phone into it and instead of vr It's ar but yeah, it's kind of like snapchat where you see the world around you but like things will pop up What is the situation? So this is called the gauntlet Yes, I just call it the thing on your hand Uh, and so you this basically is how you unlock the game Okay, so you'll notice these stickers and you'll see them here too. The game is able to recognize these stickers So when you load up the game, you're going to hold out your hand to kill enemies But when you first load up the game This is how it unlocks is by Seeing these stickers and registering them. Yeah. Okay. Can we see this in action? Yeah, totally so Okay, because this is an ar game i'm gonna load up two phones one where you'll actually see It how it should look like in a good view and then the other where we can actually put it in here and play Okay. Um, so this is if you want to see before while i'm loading stuff up This isn't a middle of game that I was playing earlier. I'm gonna put this on. Yeah kill some kill some of the bad guys For me. I've never done this before so See it sees your hand. Oh, wow Oh, that's cool, then I can like oh my camera guy you're done for This thing is really yelling at me you're supposed to protect the portal generator I think this game really does work best if you're oh, yeah, that's your shield. Okay So you're supposed to look around and then see the enemy Okay, target it hold up your hand. So this is like we're now starting to see the enemy Yeah, so this actually has nothing to do with like ar kit project tango and nothing like that Uh, this one's really bad This you can run so long as your phone has ios 6 and higher or android 5 and higher And it really can fit like on the bottom of the box here They set it up so that people can just see like you can have a huge phablet So that people can see like you can have a huge phablet They set it up so that people can just see like you can have a huge phablet phone so that people when they buy this Maybe not sure if their phone works they can read about it and also just make sure their phone actually fits inside. Oh my god Yeah So i'm setting this up. This is all set up for me already. So i'm gonna play with it. You guys can play with it later, maybe Okay Yeah, so they say this is for kids eight and up You know be like you're gonna have a kid soon. Would you get your kid a phone? Uh, this is my this is my question like what is the right one's the right time? My my child will be raised in the woods away from all the wired headphones. God damn it Okay, wow, this is like involved yeah, sometimes I get it on the first go and then other times I don't Get in there Hello It's like a breaker This is why we do the things like this is like the bluetooth pairing of toys. I know why? Okay, this is perfect. There it goes. Got it. Okay, so now you're in there so you can make adjustments I can actually take my glasses off because this is a whole mess when I don't Having long hair also not ideal Okay, so now you can see the world because the camera's on yeah, and I can see my hand through here But does your hand look like iron man? Excellent. Okay, so because I look down at that marker now I see a defense base there. Okay, so that You can change the game by changing up where you put the marker So if you put one higher up, maybe you'll have a different experience than if you put one on the ground or something Okay, so we got an image of what oh, yeah, it's a simulation of what ashley's seeing in there. Yeah And now it's beeping again All right, ashley turn to your right Here you go now Okay, so now you're just shooting yeah, so now i'm just shooting um, there's enemies like populating around me But this does remind me like on the circuit breaker show at ces this year Uh, we played with Yeah, so let's listen Here we go so I like So what you were just saying on the circuit breaker? Show at ces lauren good brought on another ar device. That was a gun remember and that was really cool, too So we're seeing some of these more practical applications like for regular Toys and games that I think is really cool. Oh, actually this just like magic eyed and made itself work for me Okay, hold on. I'm just gonna do it. Okay, we're just now you get to try to stick this in there Okay, so you were saying nailed it Hey, wow, and then to tighten it. Yeah, just turn that one. I get the feeling that perhaps my head is larger Either these companies anticipated so we did see a bunch of ar stuff at ces, right? Yeah And then here we'll put this on you This is other way, but yes, there you go, where's my hand can you see it now? Yeah good. Okay So yeah, you have to look around there's paul. Oh, hey, come here come here Um, and there's that okay, I get it. Can you read chat through through? And then I gotta tell you The resolution of this camera Does not does not make up the chat I mean, I totally get how this would be fun if you were a kid. Yeah, and um So there's only 10 levels. They say that should be like several hours of gameplay. Um the way though So the device this whole setup costs 50 But I think the way they're going to eventually make a little bit more money off of it is they have these little stones We have one here. It comes with the game, but they're going to sell stones. Yes What yes infinity stones watching all these movies i'm like what are it's all coming together for you now Yeah, so you can buy those, uh outside of this pack and you'll get extra power. So it changes up how you play the game Yeah, I think I might be dead in this game. You might be dead. I might be in heaven How is it a real chance Iron man heaven like um, this is wild. It's you know, we've seen Every high-end demo. We have a whole vr room full of all the newest stuff and this is actually the most Like I understand why this product exists and what i'm supposed to do with it in the way that oculus doesn't You know, I mean like I just sort of understand what's happening here, right? Why don't they use ar kit and tango? They probably just want to make it inclusive for more people. Yeah, can I say something else though? You look really cool Yeah, i'm gonna say it actually looks really great. How much well done Well done You know what? I want it. I just want a regular iron man mode Where you just like walk around and it shows you invest in companies Yeah, paul, you know what you should do in that mask you should give up your weapons manufacturing business I've been trying to but war it just keeps on finding me How much does this thing cost 50 bucks you're almost there paul Yeah, okay. Yeah, is it 50 bucks because the headsets are cheap Yeah, you don't really that marvel like does that app work with you need this thing? Does it work with other headsets? Um, well, it's all designed. It has this like proprietary clasp and stuff So no, no, but if you just have a regular head second, you just get oh, I mean, yeah You could put your phone in anything. Yeah All right, marvel, but you wouldn't have the math again the poor marvel people are on the controller You're just like freaking out right now. Look don't hack their products. They're very kind to bring them here. Um, anyway, I think That is the show uh people are People are just in the chat. We have time for questions. I'm just like looking through them We need some questions Yeah, we had a ton of tesla questions on twitter i'm just gonna look at those real quick Oh, they're right here in front of me Um people ask how's the build quality compared to my jeep about the tesla Here's what i'll tell you my jeep did not cost sixty thousand dollars, but i've sat in sixty thousand dollar cars before Actually, you reviewed a bmw even in like a rolls royales for us Um, those are like really high-end cars the model 3 for sixty thousand dollars is not Does not feel like an expensive car, right? It's just a very it's a nice sort of mid-size car But like it's it feels like it's base price is 35 000 But it also has a computer in the middle. It also has a computer in the middle. That is true I can't wait to see that Very distinctive the trunk people are adam says how much can you fit in the trunk? Uh, the trunk is huge and there's a frunk and there's a frunk Yeah, like like it's large enough for like a um Like maybe like a carry-on bag. Okay, or like a like a very small gymnast, yeah, uh chrismo says the main screen led or oled It's obviously an led like it's a lcd screen It's not like a 17 inch oled panel, which itself would cost like 60 000. Okay. Yeah It's just nice. Um, if you don't pay for an auto pilot autopilot's really expensive on the car It's not a five thousand dollar option but it has some Features that add sensors It adds some sense. Have you gotten to try autopilot in the city yet? Or no? No, I haven't tried in the city We're gonna drive it. I'm gonna leave here and like run downstairs and play with the car Um, this is a good question. Can you unlock the car through the key in your wallet? Oh, yeah, we'll find out i'll i'll go try it right now and leave an the answer that one in the comments of this video Um, but you said the ideal thing is it just works with the ideal thing It just works with your phone and then here we'll take this last one. Tolu asks How does the base model compare to the upgraded model besides speed and range? I was talking to andy hawkins our transportation reporter and he pointed out that you can not get the base model right now so there's Yeah, I think it's That one um, so the base model To to navigate the complex web of like ed Credits and taxes and they're basically only selling the upgraded model at that higher price So the 35 000 model is like people have ordered it but it's not going to come for quite some time yet But they needed to have a skew the whole point is to get get you in at 35k Can the tesla be hotwired says john shipman in the chat But we're gonna find out i'm worried about hotwiring a car that is full of that many lithium-ion batteries But maybe that'll be a great video too. It's always worth a shot when hot wiring Is there wireless charging in the car? There's not wireless charging in the car There is if you saw in the very beginning of this video and we'll show it again in the next video we make um, it has custom like cables It's got usb jacks and there are custom cables that wire up into the console It was set up with two lightning side by side, but you could run a usb c or yeah And then this one somebody asked is there a place to mount and power a dash cam? I didn't see one I'll look there's no like cigarette. I didn't see a cigarette lighter. I don't think elon wants you to smoke in his car in the future Smoking will be illegal. Yeah, also driving your own car. Yeah But like I said, we are literally we're gonna end this stream right now. I'm gonna run downstairs. Ash isn't with me We're gonna make a whole video with that tesla and marquez actually just walked in the door to help us make that video So that's gonna be really fun Look for it, uh in a couple of days we gotta like shoot and edit a video that was circuit breaker live for today Thank you guys for joining me. I think we did a good job. We did fine Explain yourself. Uh, thank you all for being in the chat I love reading your comments in the chat and responding to them. It helps us drive this whole show We'll be back again next week Tuesday Uh four o'clock eastern It's supposed to say what's going to happen on the show next week on that board But it doesn't so it's just gonna be a series of surprises until we give up and we'll see you next week You

You've probably seen people cover their webcams, but should you cover your webcam? Former FBI Director James Comey thinks you should. Do you still have a piece of tape over your cameras at home? Heck yeah. Edward Snowden and even Mark Zuckerberg appear to cover theirs. It could protect you from attacks like the one Miss Teen USA experienced in 2013 in which a man secretly spied on her and recorded her and then blackmailed her. But you're not a head of state, and you're also not a celebrity, so do you really need to worry about someone spying on you through your laptop's camera? Well, yeah. In 2013, a hacker told the BBC that access to a woman's webcam cost about a dollar and that he had access to 500 computers. That's crazy. So to find out how common these attacks are and whether we should be worried, I talked to Todd Beardsley, the research director at cybersecurity and penetration testing company Rapid 7. There are occasionally bugs in web-based technologies that allow attackers to open your webcam and record video on it. There are pretty far and few in between. He explained to me that these vulnerabilities often show up in Flash and Java, and at this point there might even be one in HTML5. What really sucks is that you won't know if a website is affected. Also, hackers can turn off your webcam's light so you won't actually know whether you've been compromised. That's not great. Anything that wants you to click in a very specific place in your browser, that would be very suspect. You see a lot more now with location services, like click here to allow location services. That's typically the control on web users as well. There's not a lot you can do about it other than at least tape. Okay, so at least tape will stop someone from spying on you visually. That's a relief. But how effective is covering our webcams and should we do it? Having it covered is a super cheap, super easy thing to do that also doesn't get you a lot, but at least it makes you feel better, right? And it is a signal to other people that you think about security. Okay, so Todd says it can't hurt, but covering your laptop camera doesn't actually address the much bigger risk of your cell phone camera and microphone. Microphone hacking is probably just as creepy and incriminating as a video. If I can record conversations in the room, that piece of tape is not going to stop me. We actually tested this. Hey. Hey, okay. So can you try to talk to me with your phone away from your face? Sure. Can you say about how loudly I would talk if I was having a conversation with someone in your room? Okay, so I can hear you pretty perfectly. Meaning if a hacker had hacked into your microphone, even if you had tape over it, he or she would still be able to hear what you're saying. I hate to break it to you all, but the reality is that cameras and microphones are everywhere now. We have smart home speakers, cell phones, laptops, smart refrigerators, and even voice enabled TV remotes listening to us at all times. Unless you're going to tape over or physically disable every one of those cameras or microphones, you're still going to be at risk. But if nothing else, we can at least prevent webcam attacks with tape. There is some superstitious comfort you get because you can see the camera sticker all the time. Like you're looking at it and you can think like, I'm doing it right. It's a little bit self congratulatory to put the tape on the camera, but it does ultimately like also means that you're looking at security control all the time. So you might be thinking more about like, how long should my password be? Should I tell those people my password? Should I click on this link in this email? I think that is probably radical. So go ahead, put tape over your camera. It might not stop hackers from listening through your microphone, but it'll at least make us feel a little bit better and prevent them from watching us sleep at night.

We've come to see the launch of SpaceX's next big rocket, the Falcon Heavy. This vehicle can create more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff and is capable of putting around 140,000 pounds into lower Earth orbit. That's more than twice the weight that any other rocket currently on the market can carry. So right now, the Falcon Heavy holds the title for the most powerful rocket in the world. I'm very excited about this launch because I think this is going to really show that we can do giant rockets again. Most space organizations, government or commercial, have set their sights too low. They've really gotten relatively small rockets. And Falcon Heavy is the first time that there's something that's arguably even in the Super Heavy class or somewhere between Heavy and Super Heavy. Ensuring that you can launch a giant rocket and have it be commercially viable, carry satellites, potentially carry people. Falcon Heavy is capable of actually taking a Dragon mission, taking people around the moon. Is there any update on that, by the way? Not yet. We're sort of debating whether to do that on Falcon Heavy or BFR. It will sort of depend on how well the BFR development is going as to whether we focus on BFR for deep space human flight or whether we do that on Falcon Heavy. What do you see as being the biggest challenge for making this rocket fly? The biggest challenge of getting to launch pad has been that we had to completely redesign the center core. So the load going through the center core is much greater than would normally go through a Falcon 9 rocket. Each of the side boosters is putting in half a million pounds of thrust into the center core. So you have an incremental million pounds of force going through that center core, which means we had to really redesign almost the entire stage, all the way through the inner stage had to be redesigned to strengthen it. Okay, well I have one more question, but I want to know what you're most excited about when you launch this rocket fly tomorrow. I'll be really proud of the SpaceX team for having accomplished this incredible task. And hopefully we inspire the public to get excited about space game. But it's not just the public getting excited about the Falcon Heavy. Some customers, like the Planetary Society, are planning on using Falcon Heavy for their next flights, hoping that a successful test launch will spell success for their missions as well. We are tied to SpaceX. We wish us the best today. So SpaceX is really visionary, but it really is a fantastic idea. Rockets should be like airplanes, where you don't throw them away, you use them and then reuse them. And so it's visionary. Now, if everything goes well today, how will it feel to see that Falcon Heavy soar? Oh, it'll be great. No, so we flew the first light sail almost two years ago. And it's just a thrill. We're very excited about it. And the idea is to democratize space, to lower the cost of getting to many destinations in our solar system. And the reason you do this, everybody, the reason that society does this, there are two questions, Lauren, that we have all asked. Where did we come from? Where did we, how did we all get here? Where did we come from? And are we alone in the universe? And if you want to answer those two questions, you have to explore space. We're finally here at NASA's press site after all of the hype, after so many years of waiting, and it is intense. I've been to a couple launches here before, but I've never seen it this packed. Just getting in here today, there was a huge traffic jam. And the vibe here, everybody is super anxious. We're really ready to see this thing get off the ground. Originally the launch was set for 1.30 p.m. Eastern. Then it got pushed back to 2. Then 2.20. Then 2.50. It turned out upper level winds in the area were too high for flight, and SpaceX was trying to wait for them to die down. People started worrying that they'd have to come back the next day. So we've all been on edge today. SpaceX kept pushing the launch time back and back and back. And now we have a new T-0, which is 3.45 p.m. But our launch window only lasts until 4 p.m. However, the rocket is loaded with propellants, so I think it might actually go up today. Cyberpunk has landed, Hmm. Watch the record. Nine, eight, six, five, four, three, two, one. That's it. Oh my god. Oh shit, it's freaking big. Oh, it's hitting us. Oh, wow. Wow. That is a beast. Oh my god, I feel it. Ah. Oh my god. We can still see it, Thursday. Woo. It's SuperSonic. Good job. Oh my god. I'm going to go. I'm going to keep rolling. Okay, just hold on to her. We're going to go together. Yes. Side boosters. Side boosters landing lights are deployed. And the falcons have landed. Oh man.

to start asking, we're ready for those. And then Ashley's gonna join us again, and we're gonna talk about what's happening with the digital instant cameras, which are very quietly, like a hot, controversial situation. Would you say at the verge that we have a bevy of experts? Cornucopia. Cornucopia of expertise. It's a real situation. But first, we're gonna get in all that, but first, Ashley and Jake are gonna walk us through the news, take it away. Hello, yeah, so we are rapidly approaching Samsung's phone season, and the leaks are starting. The S9 has leaked this week. There should be, oh, hey, look at that, there's a photo. So this is, it looks just like you would expect a Galaxy device to look like, but hey, this is a nice color. It's a lilac, maybe. And then also, you'll notice the fingerprint sensor is below the camera as opposed to next to it, which was a huge complaint people had. There was also news today that this phone is going to be priced more expensive than the S8, like right out of the gate, and people probably won't love that. So this is what we know so far is maybe what it looks like, and then also the Plus has dual vertically stacked cameras, which we don't see here, but it's kinda like the iPhone X. What's really wild to me is that a year ago, this design really stood out, and now this looks completely normal. This is the front of every single phone. Yeah, exactly, it doesn't wow you anymore. You're just like, oh, yeah, full display. I'm all about Samsung doing weird and interesting colors, though. Nobody else does this stuff. Yeah, we like the colors here. We cover every Samsung color because we love them so much. Love it. Yesterday, Intel, out of nowhere, basically, announced smart glasses. They're called Vaunt. We have an exclusive, hands-on, you should go read Dieter's article. We have a big video on it. But the gist is that these are smart glasses that look completely normal. So if you're thinking Google Glass, these are kinda all the way in the other direction. Rather than interacting with them a bunch with swipes and gestures and having a screen in front of your face, there's basically nothing. There is just some lasers that shoot a little projection into your eye, and you don't even see it all the time. It's just in your peripheral vision. It'll show some notifications, some contextual information. But it's basically just supposed to stay out of the way so that it's there when you want it, but not when you are actually talking to people and trying to interact with the rest of the world. I think it's a really neat and interesting approach, and it sounds like they've learned a lot of the lessons that Google did not realize when it first did Glass. Like people don't wanna wear a computer on their face. Yeah, exactly. So they definitely still have a lot to prove, but they're supposed to come out with a developer version by the end of the year. Yeah, I definitely am really interested when people start using this and how people interact with each other while they technically are wearing a computer on their face. Like how I'm gonna talk to you right now, but also be like silently watching my Twitter feed. Oh, you're gonna get all kinds of, no. I'll give you full attention sometimes. So iPhone X, we all know it for its notch. And now Chinese phone manufacturers are introducing a bunch of notch knockoffs, as we've started calling them. So this is the Ocatell one. You could see there's the notch. And then we have another one that just came out as well called the NOA N10, also has a notch. What's interesting about these is that, like the notch is great. We like the notch, but you're not fooling. Like no one's going to see this and think, oh, that's an iPhone X. Like this is not an iPhone X body. Also the screen doesn't go all the way to the bottom. You have also the Android navigations. I mean, it's just not fooling anyone, but you have a notch. Right, like, so Android's not optimized for this, which is like gonna be horrible. Right, people have waited for their favorite apps to be optimized, and Android definitely is not going to have those apps. I know people like the notches are very controversial. I actually think it is cool because it's like instantly identifiable, which I think is what they're going for here. But like, it's pretty clear that this is not an iPhone. Yeah, I really like the notch. But I don't know if I like it on the notch knockoffs. Yes. Microsoft last week dropped the price on two of its Surface laptops quite a bit. The Surface Book 2 went down by $300. The Surface laptop went down by $200. Did I say that right? $300 and $200. This is a pretty big decrease, which is great because it's going to help get more people into the line for them. But the downside is that they have worse specs, a slower processor, or less storage. I think that's an OK trade-off in some cases. But you know, it's not necessarily the best thing. It's not like they just dropped the price on the current entry level. They made like a new entry level that's a bit cheaper. I guess as to why this happened is because the Surface devices haven't been selling quite as well as people expect them to. I thought they were doing really well. They were doing surprisingly well. But when Microsoft announced their earnings recently, I think it was like a 1% year-over-year growth, which is probably why they're trying to get more people in with these lower prices. And you get the fancy fabric. Totally. They're nice looking computers. That you can care for, definitely. OK, and finally, this week we saw that HP has decided that it's going to introduce new smart assistant skills for Alexa or Google Home, whichever, so that you can talk to your printer and apparently shout at it to print you Sudoku puzzles. I don't know why this was their example. They just really want you to just shout and say, hey printer, or whatever your keyword is, and say, hey printer, print me this document. I don't even know what you say to a printer. Print the thing. Right. You need to have a document open. Like, I don't understand. That's why I don't understand. Because you're always at a computer. Are they operating a cloud service for Sudoku puzzles? Like. He has, you know, it's not clear. OK. Jake, it's really just not clear. But yeah, I figure you're always at a computer anyways, looking at the document, thinking, OK, you know what would be nice? I'd like to have this printed. Let me just print. Yeah. Instead, you're going to be like, wait, this would be nice if I printed. Set this aside. Yeah. Alexa, I need this printed. While you're with your family, you're going out to dinner, be like, now. When does the idea ever strike that you're walking around your kitchen and you're like, you know what? I forgot to print that thing. Whatever. Good for you, HB. Keep doing you. All right. So we're going to give it right back now to Paul and Eli. We're back. Sean O'Kane is here. Hello, Sean. I bumped into you. I'm a little jittery. Just watched a gigantic rocket take off from Cape Canaveral. Yeah. OK. So Sean is a reporter on our transportation team. He's here to talk about drones. But this is true. You also cover a bunch of space with our traffic space reporter Lauren Grosh, who is at Cape Canaveral. She is. She just saw the thing go into the sky and do its thing. We were all watching that stream right before the show started. And then the little ones landed. Yep. That's the technical term. So let's just talk about it. We can't ignore it. Yeah. Sean, you cover a bunch of space. Tell us how important Falcon Heavy was. I mean, if we ever want to do more than we're already doing in space, we need bigger rockets to do things that are more impressive than the things we've been doing with big rockets. So like go to the moon? Go to the moon, go to Mars, bring heavier. If we ever want to do internet in space based on satellites, we need heavier lift rockets. And so SpaceX had a pretty clever solution to this, which was this sort of multiple rockets strapped together solution, which we've seen before. But their whole idea is they're going to land them all. We know that two of the three landed. We're not sure about the one that's supposed to land in sea yet. The last one lands on a drone ship. But I mean, it was one of those things where no one was really totally sure it was going to survive the whole thing. I mean, the whole point, the whole goal was don't explode. Yeah. Basically, that's what Elon Musk said. Way overachieved the goal. He said, as long as it doesn't ruin the launch pad, I'm fine. And so it didn't. So the bonus points is Elon Musk's Tesla is the payload. Which kind of looks like this drone. Oh. A transition shot. Yeah, there's a Tesla in space now. Whatever. That's crazy. My favorite part of this is that Paul was asking sort of, they can't land the Tesla on Mars. Because we don't want to contaminate Mars. He said yesterday on a press conference that there is a tiny, tiny chance it hits Mars. Which he'll actually be in some deep water if it does. But it's not going to. He's going to miss it by a lot. He's just trying to make a spectacle out of it. I'm ready to contaminate Mars. The first thing we contaminate Mars with should not be Elon Musk's car. That's what you think. All right, Sean. Anyways. The Falcon Heavy is super exciting. I was actually sad that it was running into our show because I wanted to watch it. But all the timing worked out. We got to watch it. And now we're here to talk about drones. Other things that fly. Maybe not quite as high. This is the DJI Mavic Air. It just came out, right? Just came out. They announced it, god, two weeks ago. Maybe three. Put it on sale less than a week later. They've gotten really good at this sort of maybe some rumors and stuff leak. But otherwise, here's the thing. It's available next week. Get ready. I think they're a company that's really honed their product presence over the last couple of years. And they've made really good products. This is sort of the latest and greatest from them. And if you're familiar with the DJI lineup, there's the Mavic Pro at the top. We have right here on bottom. It's like the Inspire, the Phantom. There's a whole lot more. Of the more portable ones, right? The ones that are at $1,000 or less. And so we've got the Mavic Pro, which is a little bit more than $1,000. The Spark, which is the one they released a couple months ago, maybe even, or I guess back in 2017, which is a more approachable drone for people who are just starting out. And then now this is the Mavic Air. And it sort of slots in between those two. But it also kind of replaces the Mavic Pro. It's in many ways, other than maybe battery life and a couple small details, it's basically this in this package, which is pretty wild. So what's the point of it? Do you guys line up, it's either the simplest thing in the world or the most complicated? Yeah, this probably complicated things a little bit. This is $799. You can get it for $999 with a whole bunch of extra batteries and sort of extra propellers and things like that. But you do get a lot for $799. This is $399. Used to be $600, right? Used to be $500 and $600 with all the extra stuff. So this one's really still the entry level. What complicates things is if this is really replacing this, but they're still selling this for more, that's where it's a little bit weird. This one folds up to be this big. Yeah. And that one folds up to be smaller. This folds up into a profile that is, yes, even smaller than the Spark. So the Spark is obviously lighter. I'm showing you this later. The Spark is lighter than the Mavic Air. You got a handy carrying case. Yeah, and this is a carrying case that comes in. The case is smaller than the case from a Nintendo Switch. Yeah. That's ridiculous. I didn't quite wrap it up. So I bought a Phantom. Before DJI went on this tear, before the first Mavic came out, I bought a Phantom 4. And I was like, this is the one. This is the consumer grab. Richy rich. Well, my forthcoming child is not going to college now. But she can look at my drone flying in the air. But I thought that was like, we've hit the pinnacle. This is a small. And then DJI just went on this absolute tear with these smaller and smaller drones. And then the Spark, and now the Air, all within the last year and a half. So which one do you buy? So the split for me is the same split. I think that one of our videographers and directors at West, Viren, who did the review of the Mavic Air, I think he elucidated it pretty well in his review. The split is, if you're doing any kind of professional work, weddings, landscape photography, things like that, you're probably still better off opting for the Phantom, the Phantom 4, the Phantom 4 Pro, depending on there's a couple different versions. That's work. It's actually really confusing. But if you're just a hobbyist, or if portability really, really matters to you, the Mavic Air is for sure the one you want. Yeah. Let's see. This might do a little bit of damage to the propellers. But you can fit it in a pie. And we're going to fly it in the studio. This is a good reason to wear cargo pants. Yes. You said it. Finally. Finally. And it's just, the value really comes from the ability to not be lugging around. Because if you've ever seen anybody use the Phantom 4 Pro, or the Phantom 4, and you know this. It's huge. And the box that you have to fit it in, because none of it folds up. It's got those big landing legs. And even this was a little bit heavy. You've always got this exposed, whereas the camera now is sort of tucked in here on the Mavic Air. The Mavic Air has the same camera system as the Mavic Pro. So the image quality is the same. And the only benefit you really still get with the Mavic Pro, the new version of it, the Mavic Pro Platinum, is you get a few more extra minutes of battery life. This also works over RF with the controller, as opposed to Wi-Fi, which means the range is a little bit longer than the Mavic Air. But I mean, the Mavic Air, those are your trade-offs. You want to get slightly less range by a mile or two. So do you have any connection problems with the controller? Yeah, so people on YouTube, Jordan on YouTube here is saying in the chat, he's pointing out this uses Wi-Fi to connect. And you get a little bit less range. And people are pointing out the video signal to your phone or whatever is less good. I don't think that matters. As long as you can see what it's doing, it doesn't matter. Especially because if I were to use it, I would use it especially for photography and videography more than just the fun of flying it. And that kind of stuff usually really bothers me if the video is cutting out. I didn't experience that with this. I didn't fly it too far away because it's been really windy all weekend here. How did it wind? It actually held up pretty well. Gusts of like 25. No, it really didn't. That was the weirdest thing about it. If you were filming straight through, trying to pull off a smooth maneuver, anything above 15 miles an hour was starting to give it a little bit of trouble as far as it would correct. And you can see that in the footage. Does it fight the wind or does it just go with the flow? There's a tolerance. If a gust comes at some point, you can see it in the footage in the way that the gimbal, which is trying to hold it steady, would all of a sudden just sort of jump and finally give in. But it held up pretty well. And the battery life, I think when you're working with a max of 21, the differences of what you're going to get are pretty small anyways. So Paul, if you can show this camera. So we asked DJI about this too. I think all of us have asked about the Wi-Fi versus RF. So these are actually the Wi-Fi antennas in these lights. And the reason that, at least they told me, I'm sure they told you the same thing, they can't fit the RF components into a chassis this small to do the custom RF signal. So they had to go with this boosted Wi-Fi. And especially because this has seven cameras on it. You can see all the way around. It has cameras on basically every surface, which means that it has obstacle avoidance in every direction now, which they haven't had in these other smaller drones before. To the point that it even has a mode where you can set it to, it's called APAS. I forget what it stands for right now. But basically, instead of what this would do if it saw something approaching it, it would just stop so it wouldn't crash, which is great. But what this can do is, with enough cameras on it, it can actually sort of plot out a path to get around the obstacle. So if you've set the drone to sort of like follow a mountain biker, and you just let it go and follow that path, but all of a sudden there's a tree that you didn't really think was in the way, but is, it can move around that, and it won't really disturb that shot too much. It'll keep that person in focus. It just feels like they're not holding anything back. They're not like, well, this is the mid-tier. We better make sure that it doesn't eclipse this one. They're just like, here's what we have technology-wise. We're putting it in a drone. Here you go. I think it was a bold move to sort of just like up and essentially kind of replace this. But it does sort of pave the path for them to do something new with this like $1,000 and up version that they have. You know, like they can maybe make the Phantom 4 a little bit smaller now. Or maybe they could do something even crazier, like 40-minute battery life in this form factor or something. I know, right? We've got to talk about these controllers. Yeah, and so they're real different. So this is the Mavic. That's the Mavic Pro's controller, which has an integrated screen in there to give you some basic information, but it's still meant for you to plug your phone in to use as the viewfinder. What I really like about, this is such a small little detail, but the joysticks on the new Mavic Air controller tuck right in here so that when you pack it up, like I'm a kind of person that just throws stuff in his bag and the objects suffer the consequences, whereas here you can take these off the end, plug them in, and you're not having these get mangled up in your, or catch something else in a bag. And then you just take your phone, get Face ID on, and slot it in. Are we going to light this thing up? I think we should, right? I mean, we're here. That's the whole point of the show. Another thing to know about the Mavic Air is that it has some more advanced gesture controls compared to the Spark. The Spark you were able to let fly off your hand and everything. Oh my gosh. The Mavic Air you can actually take off from the ground. So if I was standing in front of this right now, I could hold my hand out. It would recognize that. It would fly up and do things like that. And I will say, I have watched a lot of videos that people have put online just for our own sanity. Oh, come on. What's the point of flying without it if you want? Let's do it. All right, let's do it. What are we here for? That's why the people watch. It's like NASCAR. There is this guy in Texas. Oh, I got to turn the remote on. That probably will help. There's this guy in Texas who was just standing out in the middle of nowhere, and he was only able to get about, I want to say, like a mile and a half range. And they're advertising two and a half miles of this. So I do still think if you're a skilled pilot who's still flying very far away, you're probably not going to want to opt for the Air. It's like the perfect thing to always have at the ready. Maybe if you're a pro, you fly with your Phantom. But this is the thing that you always have ready whenever you need it. I'm terrified. Yeah, you should be. Thanks, Sean. Here's the thing. It can totally go worse than the Falcon Heavy launch, because the Falcon Heavy launch actually went really well. Last time we flew the full-size Mavic in a hotel room. Without guards? Without guards. We're not guards. Lauren just lit it up and took off. All right. I'm just backing up a little bit. All right, here we go. I realize I put out a lot of bravery and confidence. Whoa. Nice. That's awfully windy. So with the spark, you can like. So it's loud. They haven't made it any quieter than the Mavic Pro Platinum. The Mavic Pro Platinum has these new propellers that are quieter, about 10 decibels. So this is definitely not quieter. No. So it's smaller, which means it's discreet. But people still know when you take off. Yeah, so there's us. OK, let's take a. Oh, and here's the thing. I forgot to put a memory card back in this, but it has eight gigs of internal storage now. So. Oh, and it's full. All right. Now I wonder if. All right. It's not working. Yeah, I think I had turned on the gesture recognition. But I will say. Come back. Oh, I am so ready to run. We'll just set it down over there. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to throw my camera at it. Because it wasn't backing up. So we'll just land it over there. I will say it is as someone who's flown a couple of these different drones in the past, it is like really easy to fly. Like they've really smoothed out sort of all the algorithms as far as like how it balances itself out. It has a sport mode that does 42 and a half miles an hour, which is actually terrifying. I flew that around a field and then I brought it back towards me and the distance it needs to stop. I wasn't sort of ready for it. So it's like almost. The smart features. The is that like a kill all humans mode where where it will just go right into something and it just takes you in the middle of the field, which is kind of cool. So it's like a level of skill. It's not like a. It's like a hard low. You're not gonna get the same kind of speed as if you're driving it. Or does it still have obstacle avoidance? You'll lose some of the obstacle avoidance. I think when it's far out, like I remember bringing it up to a certain height and it would tell me that it would lose some of that. But yeah, it's otherwise relatively easy to fly. Is there another drone from another company? No. Hey guys, This is from the archives. You know, dead, Karma. He wrote a thing over a year ago, almost, yeah, a year and a half ago. I like that we stripped this of its propellers to really give it that good fish feel. DJI's only real competition is itself at this point. All the other ones don't really compare. The Karma was like, I don't know, maybe in another generation or two it could compete a bit. Even CEO Nick Woodman of GoPro has admitted there's just no way that they were not vertically integrated enough to make something new as fast as a company like DJI. So these are really, this is like where you wanna look if you are looking to get into drones. I still think if you've never flown one before, Spark's still the best way to go. It's cheapest. Still does a decent video, at least for social. Maybe not for pro work, but the real killer would be if you could fold those legs in. That's the only thing, is like if you have a couple extra hundred bucks to spare, oh, it's down on the ground. The Air does tuck in pretty nicely. Well, look, I can't think of a better thing to take photos of my new baby with than a drone. And a terrifying thing. Everyone, by the way, everyone in the chat was noticing that sound is incredibly threatening. Yeah, it's not. Drones are always threatening. I get really. I'll go rescue the drone if that's okay. I get a lot of social anxiety, so I went like all the way outside the city to fly this thing, and I set it down in a park and there was almost nobody around me, and then it fired up and I was like, oh, God, this is too much. Like everybody knows that I'm flying this thing, and they just can't see it because it's smaller. Exactly, okay, everyone wants to know if the Core Booster landed. I think you probably are dying to know. I do too, yeah, I need to know. So we're gonna let Sean go. We're gonna find out what's going on with the Core Booster. We'll let you know on the livestream here. But we're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna watch a little bit of the HomePod review to get through some of the super nitty gritty technical details, and then Dan Sievert's gonna be here. We're gonna have basically every smart speaker that we can get our hands on, plus the HomePod. Ask us your questions in the chat. We're ready to answer them. We're ready to ask Siri your questions. Let's watch this video. We'll be right back. So this is the HomePod. The HomePod is Apple's answer to the Google Home and the Amazon Echo and every other smart speaker out there with a voice assistant. It's a $350 speaker that has Siri. The basic idea is pretty simple. It's covered in a weird spongy fabric. There's a touch display on top, and it's surprisingly heavy. But the HomePod is pretty limited. Siri just can't do as much as other assistants, and the only music service you can control with your voice is Apple Music. If you're a Spotify person, the HomePod is probably not for you. And I think Apple knows it's pretty limited because all of the company's focus is on sound quality. The truth is most other smart speakers sound crappy, and the HomePod sounds incredible. We've been comparing it to the new Amazon Echo, a bunch of Sonos speakers, including the new Sonos one and the Play 5, the Google Home and the Google Home Max, and even Bluetooth speakers like the UE Megaboom. And it's just obviously better than all of them. The HomePod isn't just one speaker. It's actually eight of them, all controlled by an A8 processor and tons of custom software. There are seven tweeters that fire down and out from the bottom and a single four-inch woofer pointing out of the top for low frequencies. There's also a total of seven microphones, six around the middle for Siri and a seventh inside that measures the location of that woofer so Apple can precisely control the bass. When you first plug in the HomePod and start playing music, it goes through a series of steps that tune the speaker to the room it's in. First, it uses the mics to detect any walls nearby so it knows how sound will bounce off of them. Second, it uses those seven tweeters to form a virtual array of sound beams that are assigned to direct and ambient sounds like vocals and applause. The ambient channels are pointed at the walls to reflect and the direct sounds are pointed out at the listener. Sometime during all of that, it detects the walls again to refine the model of the room it's in. Then it analyzes the difference between the left and right channels of the music you're playing to figure out what sound should go into what beams, ambient or direct. And then it measures the position of the subwoofer and the reflections of the bass constantly as you're playing music to make sure the bass doesn't overwhelm the rest of the music. And all of this happens at once within like 10 seconds. If you move the HomePod, an accelerometer inside detects motion and it does it all over again. In terms of ideas I'm into, a virtual array of sound beams that points guitar solos at my face is super high on the list. We're back, Dan Seifert's here. Hi. How's it going, buddy? I'm doing well. I'm all right. I've spent a lot of time talking to Siri. Uh-huh, that's a fun time. It's all right. So you have reviewed most of the other smart speakers. I just reviewed the HomePod, we just watched that video. I've had it for about a week now. Apple took me to, they didn't take me, they invited me to Cupertino. I took myself there. Paid our own way as we always do. But went out to Cupertino, hung out with their hardware VP, hung out with their head engineer for audio, hung out with Phil Schiller, walked through their audio labs and saw how their engineers got really deep in how the HomePod works. You listened to a lot of Hotel California. We listened to a lot of Hotel California, which is a true experience. The video, you just watched it. I think what's happening on the audio side of the HomePod is super impressive and cool. I'm an audio nerd. I have all kinds of speakers in my house. Usually I don't love a lot of audio processing. This thing is doing so much computing to make itself sound good all of the time that I, just the part where it has seven speakers here. So you think all seven speakers are doing something different. The seven speakers are actually making three virtual speakers and they're firing back against the wall or out to the front. Like all of that is so cool. There's a microphone inside that measures the position of the subwoofer. I don't trust it. And it precisely controls that position. I don't trust the UI. Yeah. Back in my day, two bookshelf speakers, a nice amp. Some sliders. Yeah, you need that graphic EQ. No, I don't even need a EQ. So we're just gonna start going in on questions here. First question everybody asked in the chat, is there a mute switch? Hmm, that's a good question. And the answer is basically no. So all the other ones, the Echo here is, the Echo is muted, you can see it's red. The Sonos one, you push the button on top, it mutes. The mic is muted. The Google Home devices have switches. Here's what you can do with the HomePod, which is not necessarily great. You can say, hey Siri, stop listening. And then Siri, Siri. And there's no confirmation. Now it confirms it just didn't work. Hey Siri, stop listening. I can turn off Hey Siri, but if I do, you'll need to press the top of the device to get my attention. Is this what you want? Yes. Okay, I've turned off Hey Siri. So now it's off. So now if you wanna, you can be like. Nope. You gotta hold it down. There you go. What's the weather? You know, it'll do it. Or it won't. It's still, there you go. It's currently cloudy and 37 degrees and eight. So Siri is a lot more responsive. Now if you wanna turn, actually you do need Paul Campol. If you wanna turn that back on, you go into the Home app. Okay. And then you force touch on HomePod and then you press details. Get rid of my Slack messages. And then you go here and you gotta click that back on. Oh, nice. It's easy. It's a bunch of steps. No problem. The other thing that I pointed out in the review video, everyone focused on Spotify, we'll get into Spotify in a second. I think this is actually the bigger problem with the HomePod. Right now, the way it is configured, you just hit yes on all the setup prompts. The setup is super easy. Just blast through it. It will just let anyone read my texts. Hey Siri. Wait, wait, wait. Let me see what my last text is. Okay. Is it SFW? Say read my most recent text message. Hey Siri, read my most recent text message. It's from Walt. I found your most recent message from Walt Mossberg. Oh, look at you. Cool. Would you like to reply? That's it. No. That's crazy. Okay. No. Just stay away. That is bonkers. Right? Anybody in your house who's relative. And the gate is if you're just on the same wifi network. Yeah. How do you turn that off? Okay, watch this. Okay. Okay. So if you're in a dorm, and you're on the dorm wifi, and it's expensive, but some college students are gonna buy this. You're on the dorm wifi, and you leave your dorm room, and you're like in the dining hall, someone can walk up to your closed door, and like yell the wake word, and ask it to read your text messages, and it will just do it. So you just turn that off. So here's how you turn it off. This is a lot of steps. So this is the HomePod settings. Sure. Oh. That's fine. Yeah, so you're already in there because you've gone through the process. Yeah. It's not there. It's here. In the compass? Is that a compass? Yeah, so you go here, and then you pick your house, and you do that. I wanna show you my email address. It's here. And you turn it off there. So it's like not in the HomePod settings, it's in your house settings. That's logical. Not sensible. So this is a HomeKit device? It's a HomeKit device. So those two things, just those two little configuration things where you don't want anybody to roll up to it and read your text, and turning the mic on and off, they just require you to operate your phone in a way that none of these other devices really want you to use your phone. Like the Alexa app is horrible. Like it is actively designed to make you not want to use it. It almost feels intentionally so, yeah. Because they just want you to talk to Alexa. The Home app is fine, but Google just wants you to talk to it, whatever. The HomePod to me is just directly connected to your phone. Your individual phone. On the review I called it lonely, and I think that's like, sad. Yeah. Like that part's sad to me. All right, what else do people want to know? Also Siri, I mean we just have, hey Siri. Hey Siri. Play some music. Sure. Let's kick things off with planets and stars by first code. Sure. That's weird. Hey Siri. Play Taylor Swift. We're just gonna do this. We're just gonna deal with the licensing issues. Sure. Here's a personalized station of Taylor Swift. Personalized to me. This is Neal's favorite. It's my favorite. So you can be like, hey Siri, who plays the bass on this song? I don't know who plays that instrument for this band. And that is basically the Siri experience. Yeah. A lot of I don't know. A lot of I don't know. Hey Siri, how much does HomePod weigh? Everything you need to know about HomePods is on Apple's website. Ask Alexa though. All right. Alexa, how much does a HomePod weigh? Private residence's average weight is 100 pounds. Private residence? What? How much does a private? You just asked how much does a home weigh and just like gave it. That's what I said, right? Apple HomePod. We did this before, right? Yeah. Alexa, how much does a HomePod weigh? Apple HomePod weighs 5.5 pounds. There we go. And Google has it wrong because the answer is wrong in Google. So it's just like, it's Siri. It works as well as Siri works in that it's supposed to be able to tell you who's playing on all the songs that you listen to. It's not. We can't show you what it sounds like here. Like we're just not set up for that in the studio. If you watch the video, we set up a really fancy binaural microphone. Put some headphones on. We played the same song through all the speakers in a pretty good location in my house. And you can actually hear a difference, not like the difference. You really need to hear it in person. But the biggest question, the controversy of the morning is Spotify because I said in the review, it doesn't work with Spotify. And Jonathan Morrison, who's a good dude who I like, and we watch his videos, he collabs with us. His video is like, yes, you can use it with Spotify. Here's the difference. I'm gonna explain this to everybody. You can AirPlay to this using virtually any app on your phone that supports AirPlay. You push the button, it's on your phone, and send it over over AirPlay. AirPlay supports some playback commands. So you can basically play, pause, next track, previous track. It's a big fancy remote control. But because it doesn't have buttons, you can just say next track, backtrack. It will send that command to your phone over AirPlay, and that will pass to Spotify. So you get like remote control. So it's considered Spotify support. Yeah, that's not Spotify support. Spotify, it's not like running Spotify. It doesn't know it's Spotify. It's just sending these like. Yeah, you can't ask it what song it is. It's the same as my Bluetooth speaker has playback controls on the top, and it will like lightly control the thing. It also doesn't have Bluetooth. Doesn't have, you can't Bluetooth through it. Doesn't have AUS. Well, let me just finish this thought. Oh, I'm sorry. What you want, it's an iOS computer. It's your review, it's your review. It has an A processor. It should just be able, you should just be able to set Spotify as a default. Say, hey, play me a song. Absolutely. And it should just play it from Spotify. So there's this limited support for playback controls on any AirPlay app. Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, what have you. I think that is very different than controlling Spotify. It sounds like what you're saying is that this sounds great, but it's a big dummy. But isn't that true of any truly great rockstar? Yeah. Yeah. People are asking about the power cord in the chat. The power cord is incredibly nice. Let's get a little closer. So it's super nice, but it's also permanently attached. Which means that if you vacuum it or your cat tears it or whatever, you have to go get the whole thing repaired. Whereas virtually every other one of these has a detachable power cord that you can replace very easily. Which just seems like a weird thing. But it is a very, it reminds me of a vacuum. Okay, here's the other big question that just caught in the chat from where I was asking in the chat here. Can you play music on the Apple TV and have it play in the HomePod at the same time? That sounds like a great idea. So it's a $350 speaker. It's, you know, if you're a normal-ish person, it's probably the best speaker you're gonna own. You probably wanna play your TV out of it. If you have an Apple TV, you can set the Apple TV to AirPlay to it like any other AirPlay speaker. That will, connection will last until you ask it to play music. Then it will lose that connection. And then when you go to watch the Apple TV again, you have to go back into settings and set it to AirPlay again. Are the settings in the HomeKit app or on the Apple TV? No, they're on the Apple TV. So every time you watch something, you gotta make sure you're connected to the HomePod as an AirPlay device. Which seems incredibly cool. It seems incredibly inconvenient. You also, if you have an Apple, if you don't have an Apple TV, you can't use it as a TV speaker. If you have an Apple TV and a PlayStation, you can't use it as the PlayStation speaker, just the Apple TV. So I don't think it's ready to be a TV-connected speaker unless literally all you have in your life is Apple products and you only use the Apple TV and you're willing to deal with that AirPlay nonsense in the middle. That's my goal. Are you saying this is the best speaker on this table or like one of the best speakers you've ever heard? It's one of the best speakers I've ever heard. Without a doubt. It is, I mean like, okay, it is the best speaker on this table. I think, Dan, I think you reviewed the Home Max. I did, yes. And you know, the funny part is like any one of these in a vacuum is going to sound really good. Like the Home Max, if you don't compare it to anything else, if this is the speaker you bought and you put in your house, you're probably gonna be really happy with the way it sounds. The same for the Sonos One, sounds excellent on its own. These two are a little different. They, you know, they kind of sound like garbage right away. But when you compare them head to the head and side by side, the HomePod basically stands out from everything. It fills a room better. It's got better bass response without getting muddy. It just sounds more full. And like, there are certain things that maybe the Sonos One is a little clearer on certain frequencies, but overall, most people, I would say like 99 out of 100, if in a blind test are gonna probably pick the HomePod as the one. So we, The Home Max is very loud and very big, but it has this like weird scooped sound, which means that it has a very low mid range, but like boosted bass and boosted treble. So it has this kind of weird sound. In the Home app, a lot of people ask me this, the Home app does have EQ settings, but the, I agree with Dan, it sounds like really boosted bass, really boosted treble. You know what slider isn't in the Home app's EQ settings? Mid range. Oh no. So it's just like, you can't fix it. When you compare this to say like a Sonos Play 5, which is roughly the same size and the same price range and everything, this just sounds like it has this like filter over the sound that's like softening it and you lose a lot of that clarity for some reason. But like I said, if you never compare it, I think we're probably, like reviewers are the only ones who are gonna compare these head to head. If someone buys this and puts it in their house, they're gonna probably be really happy with it. But you know, there are better options out there. So I think these are the two best. I actually, I really don't like the way the Home Max sounds. That's my personal taste. It's all very subjective. Head to head, this sounds better than the Sonos, but again, this sounds really good. And it lets you do Spotify and it lets you control Spotify with Alexa. So, and, sorry. It's like a danger of the workplace here. And Sonos is like a music platform. So you can get all kinds of Sonos speakers and fit all kinds of rooms and Spotify Connect is on all kinds of devices. You can't do the stereo pairing with this. Not yet. And AirPlay 2 isn't out. When AirPlay 2 comes out, Sonos will support it. And you'll be able to tell this to light up a Sonos speaker over AirPlay. You'll also be able to do multi-room with this and stereo pairing and all that stuff that you can do with Sonos today, but you can't do it. What if we lived in a world where you could use multiple of these to tailor? You know, it's funny, you can do that. So you can, you will be able to do that with these. And you can do that with these too. Oh God. Which is kind of fun. Tailor, back off. Which is funny. You can, and you can set up multi-room with that. It's a little, little hinky. It's better if you want multi-room. Right now, Sonos is probably the best system for doing that. People in the chat are asking us about the display on top. So I think Apple has been... You want to go close? They've been, I wouldn't say needlessly vague, but vague about what's happening with the speaker. So you see that, it lights up like that. That's not a screen. That's a bunch of multicolored LEDs under like a cloudy glass layer. It's like a hue bulb. And it's just there to show you it's active. They can't actually display anything precise on that screen. They told me it's not designed to display text. So you can't add interface elements to that or anything. And then when you do play music, white LEDs light up on the sides here. So that's cool. But that's all that's really happening there. It's just a bunch of lights. It's also on top. So if you're across the room, you can't see it easily and stuff like that, which is a little frustrating. All the other ones, except for the Sonos one, is very difficult to see its little light. But the Google ones, the Echo devices, you can see across the room, whether they've heard you or been affirmed or doing anything. So the question people ask me, are you going to buy one? I buy everything. You know what I mean? Like, it's weird that I don't want to buy this. Like, I can't figure out where it fits into my life. That surprised me, actually. And I use Apple Music. Apple Music is my primary use. You are the ideal customer for this because you use Apple Music. If you don't use Apple Music, that's an instant non-starter. You have a good home stereo, right? Yeah. But like, this thing sounds great. I am so enamored with what Apple did to make it sound good. I think it's just such cool technology. But all of the Siri stuff, all of the Apple Music restrictions, all of that to me is just like, I can't figure out where it fits. And for me to not figure out where I can just like, shove a gadget into my life is like, very strange. Just get rid of one cantaloupe. Put it in your kitchen. But then you run into the problem with Siri, which can't do like, two timers. Yeah. Okay, last question. Somebody asked, is the fabric better on the Google Home or the HomePod? This is really, you have to go to an Apple store and like, squeeze this. It's just not, it's not at all what you'd expect. Yeah. I don't think. This is like metal or plastic behind the fabric. It's plastic behind it. So funny story from my review of the Home Max. I had it up on my mantle. It fell off my mantle, because it's actually very heavy, it's 12 pounds. And I damaged the front cover, and it tears a little bit. But this is not the one that dropped, but it is a plastic cover on that. It's very, very good. Wait, we got it. We're running way over here. I'm gonna answer this question. You cannot. Sorry. You cannot use this as a standalone. You have to have an iOS device. You can't just buy it and set it up out of the box. You can't have an, if you have Apple Music on Android, you're like one of those five people, sorry, like Apple doesn't care about you. You can't even set it up with a Mac, right? You have to have an iOS device. It's iOS. Okay. That's a lot on speakers. Thank you so much for your questions. We're gonna watch a quick video. This is Nat Garan in CES, just failing to have a smart suitcase, follow her. And then we're gonna come back. Ashley's gonna be here. We're gonna talk about some instant cameras. Take a look at this. We're still years away from planes with modular cabins, completely see-through walls or trains with Hyperloop like speeds. In the meantime, travel accessories companies are selling us on a vision of future travel in the form of smart luggage. These travel gears are supposed to make things feel modern and secure, but they may cause more headache than they're worth. Take the trend in autonomous luggage. These suitcases have computer vision technology built into them so they can recognize the owner and automatically roll after them as they're walking. Now, conceptually, this is kind of neat. If you're a caretaker, having both hands free to tend to your family members is useful, especially at a place as chaotic as an airport or a train station. But in practice, the prototypes we saw have a long way to go. Take 90 Fund's Puppy One suitcase. It legitimately ran away from me. The tech is pretty impressive. It uses Segway's auto-balancing technology to propel itself, make smooth turns and ride over bumps. But it turns out it's a lot more like a puppy office leash when you throw it a curveball. A company called ForwardX makes a similar product called the CX One. This suitcase did an okay job following me around, but sometimes missed turns and would bump right into me when I stopped moving. It's hard to imagine that these bags wouldn't plow into other people in the same way in a more crowded area. Basically, it was more worth to babysit these so-called smart bags than it was to just lug my old dumb suitcase around. Not to mention that some of these smart bags could raise serious flags at TSA checkpoints. I know, because it happened to me back in 2016 with the first model of the Blue Smart Bag that had exposed wiring and a non-removable battery. Given my experience, I reached out to TSA to ask whether these new bags might cause disruption at security checkpoints, but all they told us was that they'll scan the bags as long as they're FAA compliant. And finally, there's price. These things are not cheap. With crowdfunding projects for bags you can ride and autonomous suitcases going between $1,100 to $1,500. It's great that designers and engineers are thinking about making bags that make travelers' lives easier, especially for people with mobility impairments. But just like the hyperloops and flying cars of our time, it looks like we're still a few years away from that vision of the future. We're back. All of these speakers have magically disappeared. And Ashley has appeared. How's it going, Ash? I'm here, I'm good. Thanks for having me. I'm really happy that we don't have to talk to voice assistants anymore. You just get to talk to me, a real human. It's so stressful. All right, you have brought us a new instant camera. You were on the show last season to talk about the hot instant camera market that's developing. And that's the Instax, which is like the, I would say the standard bearer. Yeah, so this was the new, I came on the show last season to talk about this SQ10. This was Fujifilm's square photos. I can show you guys an example. This was the size, which is just square. It's not a mini Instax. They've previously made. And it's a digital camera as well as an instant camera. So you can take photos, store them on a micro SD, edit them within the camera. This is a beautiful photo of the office. But yeah, do different things. It's pretty simple. And it was different for them at the time. And these are like hot sellers. Yeah. People love these things. I mean, I don't know if people love them, but they're cool, they're cool. So then what is this? This thing looks great. Okay, so at CES this year. There's a fingerprint. Polaroid. Yeah, it loves fingerprints. Polaroid was like, hey, we can do square too. And so they introduced the Polaroid Pop. And that's what this is. That is so slow. It's a massive touchscreen. And it's sort of the same idea where it's a digital camera, as well as you can print photos in these big square formats. And then you also can have a micro SD. So you can put these on your computer, your phone, whatever, share them on Instagram. It is very bad. Like very bad. I wanna show you guys that really quick. I can do this. So this is actually where you load the paper. I thought this was where it printed as well. And then it prints at the top. Do you want me to show you how to take a photo on here? Okay, maybe I'll take a photo of Paul with his camera. So you have to turn this around. It's so slow. Oh, what is that face, man? I don't know, that's my Polaroid face. It just now loaded. Like it seriously is the slowest thing. Okay, there you are, Paul. So you can- Look at that guy, wow. Like you can with the Fuji film, you can edit it, but this has all of the terrible clip art stickers and things like that. So here we go, bunch of clip art. We'll just put a big question mark by you. This is like the downside of the smartphone supply chain is that people are able to do this stuff. And it's the buggiest software. It's just so bad. I don't know how they found parts that are this bad. Anymore. Oh, and- This is like a 10 year old Android phone. I can write here. So I can just write your name. So that white border is just a lie. In the sense of it doesn't contain ink. Right, so this is- It doesn't contain the photo. Or the photo, right. It's just for looks. Like here you have this whole, this is regular. It's like a real Polaroid. Yes, this is a real Polaroid. You have this here. This is just zinc paper, which is heat activated ink. And it's terrible. So I'm gonna print this out. Ashley hates zinc. I really hate zinc. But zinc is cheap. It's less than a dollar a print. Whereas real prints are expensive. So I'm gonna print this out for you, Paul, because I know you really, really want this. So we're gonna print. It's gearing up. The sound effects are awesome. I mean, to me, the whole point of this show is that we bring on things that look cool in pictures and renders and Kickstarter. Yeah, because I saw this at CS. I was like, it's cute. It's pretty. And then we turn them on and there are 10 year old Android phones inside that make horrible sounds and slowly, slow, it's still not out yet. It's still going. So one nifty feature, which again, no one, we all have smartphones. But okay, anyway, you can record video on this too. Why? In 1080p. Exactly. Do you have any print video? Yes. Yeah, my smartphone can record in like 4K 60. I know. So that's why it's dumb. I want some bust ass 1080p camera. Here we go. Here we go. 60 frames per second. Ooh. All right, here you go. So the reveal. It's a great photo of me, I gotta say. It's pretty good. Are your eyes closed? I'm also gonna show you guys. There's a companion app. Of course there is. It's just dumb because you don't need digital copies. Sean actually reviewed the SQ10. Oh, what is that sound? That's the... I think that's what she got. It's... So here's my... The Instax and the other cameras like that are... They're a part of this wave where they're like, it's a little bit of a computer, but like really it's about physical objects. It's like kind of retro looking. And then they like capture this huge market, right? And then Polaroid got mad at them because they're like, wait, that's what we do. Yeah, so Fujifilm's been around for a very long time. And in between season one and two right now, Fujifilm and Polaroid are now in a legal battle because Polaroid says that Fujifilm is infringing on its patents. Polaroid by the way, is bankrupt and sold all its intellectual property to just a whole... Oh look, we have the document on the screen here. Yes, and Neelai's a lawyer. So I brought Neelai lawyer things. I love lawyer things. Because I figured you love lawyers. I just wanna point out two things. This is the lawsuit that Fujifilm... This isn't Polaroid suing Fuji. This is Fuji just suing Polaroid for being annoying. Oh yeah, wait. So the thing they said that they're infringing on is this white border. Polaroid says Fujifilm copped the white border. I would posit that Polaroid is infringing on its own. Like, hold on. But anyway, the point of this is Polaroid, if you look at this, it's not even Polaroid anymore. It's like a holding company for trademarks. And then this is Fujifilm saying it's declaratory judgment. So they're just going to the court and they're like, can you make Polaroid go away? Which is incredible. Yeah, they say Polaroid just called them up. It's like, you owe us millions of dollars by the way. Polaroid was at one time a great American success story. So the thing is, Fuji has been a camera company. They know how to make cameras. They made a reasonably good camera that people really like. Polaroid is like a bunch of suits who bought this trademark. And it seems like they just went to Shenzhen and bought garbage parts. The worst parts. If you look at the screen, I probably can't see this on the camera. The screen is like, you're so used to your smartphone screen, which is super tightly laminated. This is like six inches under the cover glass. So bad. And so they're just trying to cash in on this like craze with the Polaroid brand, which is horrible. Paul, can I show you the off button? Cause that's my favorite thing. Cause it's so dumb. There we go. Yeah, it's just a little touch screen button. Also, just so you're aware, you can also, it also has a very, very bad companion app. I was editing a beautiful photo here. Is this just the phone app blown up cause you're on a tablet? Yeah, exactly. Yes, they have it for iOS or Android. You can see your gallery. I made this picture of Haim for him. These are photos that were taken on the camera, right? Yeah, on the pop. And now we're here. If you took a photo on your iPad or iPhone, could you print it with the camera? You could, yeah. I bet this camera's better than that one. Oh, it is. This is a 20 megapixel camera, but it's so bad. It's so bad. This is only a three megapixel camera, but it's somehow better. Right, cause it's like optimized. So the, how much does the Fuji one cost? 280. 280. And the film is about more than a dollar print. And then the pop is 200, and the prints are less than a dollar print. And they look like it. And they look like it. This is very bad. This is not a touch screen on the Fuji film, by the way. So I used to see these at parties just like constantly, and then they kind of trickled out. Do you think this fad continues on? Are they still there? Yeah, it's so fun. We actually bought a bunch of accessories, like different frames and like clips to hang things up. I think people just love them. Like why not? Yeah, well they love these white porters. Right, the white porters. Consumers are out buying cameras, they want these white porters. And then what you do is you take your phone, and you take a picture of this camera, of this photo, and you Instagram that. Right, yeah, cause that's what they're trying to get at here. It's like, oh, you want to share these photos online. No one wants to share those photos. But as we were talking about, it's like, no, you want to take a picture of the physical photo, and then share the picture of the physical photo. Yeah. That's a cool thing to do. By the way, I know everyone's hot for an update on the central core. We don't know if it's landed on the drone ship yet. Oh, is it blown up? We don't know. But there are now live shots of the car in space, which is a choice. What? Okay, good. Yeah, and they're taking them with you. Can you steer the Hubble right now, and look at a car fly through space? No, he mounted cameras on the car. Oh, Elon. All right, we've just got a few minutes left. Let's answer some of your questions. A lot of people still have HomePod questions. It's like the main thing people want to know. What do you think of the HomePod? Yeah. What do I think of it? Yeah. I like how squishy it is. It is very squishy. I was shocked when that was in a display on top. It's not. This whole time I was like, oh, it's a display. Are you a Spotify person? Yeah, but never. Would you ever switch from Spotify for sound quality? No, not for me. That's the main thing. Do you have a smart speaker? No, I use Bluetooth. What about this, though? What's up, yeah. Let's go to the archives. I was about to bring this thing out earlier. This is the iPod Hi-Fi. Look how far we've come. So this thing was my original party jam speaker. Can you see this? Let me take this off right here. Hey, look, it's got an aux in. It's got an aux in. It's got a regular power cord. And then. Battery powered? My dude. What the hell? This thing. What? There were like six D-cell batteries back in the day. So we would go to parties in college, and we'd stop at the CVS to buy D-cell batteries. Wow. For iPod Hi-Fi. This is an app for caring about standards, man. Yeah, it's crazy. And then we'd plug our iPods into it. It was great. This thing sounded incredible as well. Steve Jobs, when he introduced us on stage, he's like, I've owned speaker systems that cost more than you can imagine. This sounds better than all of them. And everyone's like, I don't know about that. It was like $700. It was ridiculously expensive. People are asking if you can set an alarm to wake you up with music on the HomePod. And the answer, I believe, is no. It's the same as Siri, whatever you can do with your phone. So you can't do that on your phone. You can set an alarm. But it's not going to be. You can pick a tone. Where are you that a $1 6-by-4 print is cheap? I don't think the point is that they're cheap. No. In the market, that's one of the cheapest. Right. That's as cheap as you're going to get for a print. Right. It's not going to be cheaper than that. Yeah. Well, it's a little less than a dollar. If you want cheap prints, you've got to walk in the dusty garden. Printing is expensive because it's so wasteful. We just need information digitally. What if I like tangible things, though? Well, is this tangible? A whole world is in here. I want to hold the photo close to my heart every day. What else we got? Everyone's asking about privacy on the HomePod. So Apple's better at privacy than every other company because they don't make their money in data. They make their money selling new things, which is another reason why not supporting Spotify is confusing because they're still selling you a HomePod. It's not like you're... It doesn't hurt them. Yeah. It's not like you're stealing. But yeah, so they don't collect any data. They try not to send anything to the cloud that they don't have to, whereas everything Amazon Google do runs in the cloud. So that, I think, is if you are interested in that, most people, I think, just happily trade away their privacy at like a moment's notice without thinking about it. But yeah, Apple is generally better at privacy things, and they're certainly not... They have no incentive to collect a bunch of your personal data. They don't want it. They're really good at making sure they don't take it when they don't need it. Should Apple make deals with Spotify and Hulu, etc. be more flexible? Well, they already have a deal with Hulu. Hulu's on the Apple TV. I think a good comparison for the HomePod is actually the Apple TV. So the Apple TV is Apple's thing. They were on the iTunes store. They will happily rent you movies. They don't allow anyone else to rent you movies on the Apple TV. But YouTube's on there. Hulu's on there. YouTube TV is on there now. PlayStation TV is on there now. There's a bunch of other TV services on the Apple TV that do everything except the one thing Apple wants to do. So you could make the argument that they're more open on the Apple TV. I mean, yeah, it's true. They're more open on the Apple TV than like the Watch or the HomePod. Do they just really need those subscribers for Apple Music? Is that what this is about? Apple makes like $1,000 billion every quarter. Yeah. The 30 million Apple Music subscribers are rounding error. I feel like in Apple's head, you'd just be sad if you were using an inferior service like Spotify. Apple doesn't want you to be sad. They want you to be glad. So they will restrict your giveaways. They will force you into their great service. And then another question. Is the thing on top a display or not? This is gonna say you. You have a lot of expectations about that thing. Because you want it to be a display. I don't know. It just should be a display. Yeah. The fact that it's just lights is like, what? Yeah. I don't know. It should be a display. It's very abstract. Also, Alexa does a thing where it points at you, which I think is the best feature of the Echo. That's really cool. You hate that. Oh, I like that. Oh, you do like that. Yeah, because it's responsive. Like, we didn't have time for it, but we put a stopwatch. One of the big differences in all of these is how quickly they respond. The HomePod is not the winner. Yeah. It's thinking hard. Siri is very slow. But you can speed up that feeling just by lighting up. I think that light is so important. You need to see that, I think, to know you're getting that interaction. Sure. Dude, this person just says, I love Spotify. Aw. I think that's Apple's big problem. People really love Spotify. I hate Spotify. I didn't know you were an Apple music person. I don't like the green color. I think Spotify's interface is just backwards. It just doesn't let you know what music is available to you. It's like, would you like another playlist? Another robot has made another playlist. One of your cooler friends is listening to this music at this time. I just want to see what's on my phone. What do you want out of a second generation HomePod? I don't know. Aux. Yeah, you're never getting that. Do you think Apple's putting a headphone jack? Well, it'd be nice if you had a headphone jack. It'd be nice if it could be your home theater audio. So many people have terrible TV audio. Or they buy a projector because projectors are great right now. But then running audio, like you put your Apple TV next to your projector, and then you have to run audio cables all the way to the front of your room or something. It's messed up. I think this is like a cautionary tale. Apple put out a speaker ages ago. They're like, we want a piece of that Bose action. Great. And then they were not committed to it. They dropped it. That market ran away from them. If you want to do HomePod and you're interested in the home, you've got to work in every room. So if you look at Amazon's lineup, they make a little one, they make a big one. They make a screen. They make one with a battery. They're like all over the place. Like, what do you want? Every one's here. You could just swallow. Yeah, Sonos makes all kinds of speakers. They make amps. They make just little boxes that connect to your existing stereo. They fit into all the rooms in your house. And not everybody needs that. Some people just need one speaker. But people want to watch on their TV. People want to watch music in more than one room at a time sometimes. And Apple has not figured out. They've not communicated at least how they're going to do all of that. So they have come up with a way where I can read Neely's texts. I think you saying it's the lonely person makes is accurate because it's like I use a speaker for when friends come over. My friends want to be like, I want to play this new song, Bluetooth or whatever it is, or just an aux cable. And now it's like, OK, you don't use Apple Music. Hopefully you have an iPhone. Yeah. All right. Or like the best the best version of the song is this like kind of live version that's on YouTube. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I play music off YouTube all the time. Yeah. I will say, Ashley brought up this point. I there's a line and this we got to end the show, but there was a line in the review that was like, this is a product that seems like it was designed for a very demanding person who lives alone entirely within Apple's ecosystem. Right. I kind of meant it as a burn. Yeah. And then all these people on Twitter are like, yeah, with me. Yeah. Get out. Get out. Get out of your house. It turns out that's my Tinder profile. It's awful. All right. So that's our show for this week. Our first one on YouTube. Super excited that we're on YouTube. Super excited we're talking to you. It was really fun having the chat up and hearing from all of you while we do the show. We're back every week, Tuesday, 4 p.m. Eastern on YouTube. Ashley's going to be here. Jake's going to be here. Paul's going to be here. I'll be here. We never run out of gadgets. We literally never run out of gadgets. Tweeted us. Let us know what you want to see on the show. We will always bring it here. We will always plug it in. We will always show you exactly how it works, which is the most important thing we can do. It's always the most fun. So we'll see you here next week, 4 p.m. Tuesday.

So, this is the HomePod. The HomePod is Apple's answer to the Google Home and the Amazon Echo and every other smart speaker out there with a voice assistant. It's a $350 speaker that has Siri. The basic idea is pretty simple. It's covered in a weird spongy fabric. There's a touch display on top and it's surprisingly heavy. But the HomePod is pretty limited. Siri just can't do as much as other assistants and the only music service you can control your voice is Apple Music. If you're a Spotify person, the HomePod is probably not for you. And I think Apple knows it's pretty limited because all of the company's focus is on sound quality. The truth is most other smart speakers sound crappy and the HomePod sounds incredible. So, I'm a huge speaker nerd. My house is full of speakers. There's a vintage all analog system in the living room, a brand new Atmos home theater downstairs, Sonos everywhere, and all kinds of smart speakers tucked into every other corner. So, there's a lot here to compare the HomePod to, especially since Apple says the HomePod is all about music first and smart assistant stuff second. And the HomePod sounds incredible for its size and price. We've been comparing it to the new Amazon Echo, a bunch of Sonos speakers including the new Sonos One and the Play 5, the Google Home and the Google Home Max, and even Bluetooth speakers like the UE MegaBone. And it's just obviously better than all of them. The HomePod isn't just one speaker, it's actually eight of them, all controlled by an A8 processor and tons of custom software. There are seven tweeters that fire down and out from the bottom and a single four inch woofer pointing out of the top for low frequencies. There's also a total of seven microphones, six around the middle for Siri and a seventh inside that measures the location of that woofer so Apple can precisely control the bass. When you first plug in the HomePod and start playing music, it goes through a series of steps that tune the speaker to the room it's in. First it uses the mics to detect any walls nearby so it knows how sound will bounce off of them. Second, it uses those seven tweeters to form a virtual array of sound beams that are assigned to direct and ambient sounds like vocals and applause. The ambient channels are pointed at the walls to reflect and the direct sounds are pointed out at the listen. Sometime during all of that, it detects the walls again to refine the model of the room it's in. Then it analyzes the difference between the left and right channels of the music you're playing to figure out what sound should go into what beams, ambient or direct. And then it measures the position of the subwoofer and the reflections of the bass constantly as you're playing music to make sure the bass doesn't overwhelm the rest of the music. And all of this happens at once within like 10 seconds. If you move the HomePod, an accelerometer inside detects motion and it does it all over again. In terms of ideas I'm into, a virtual array of sound beams that points guitar solos at my face is super high on the list. So here's the thing. The HomePod sounds great, but I don't think it sounds so much better than other speakers that you should switch away from Spotify or give up all of the features of Alexa or Google Assistant. If you're a huge audio nerd, you will definitely be able to hear it. But if you're just a regular person, you might get more from another speaker that sounds almost as good. Something like the Sonos One sounds almost as good and you get a huge array of Alexa skills, Google Assistant support in the future, and you can use almost any music service you want. And when you get away from sound quality, the HomePod just isn't a very smart, smart speaker. Siri just can't compete with Alexa's huge array of skills or Google Assistant's ability to answer questions. There's this display on the top of the HomePod, but it doesn't show information, just blurry colors to let you know what it's doing. The Amazon Echo Show and the Echo Spot actually show information. Google Assistant devices are coming out with screens too. There's just something missing there. You can control smart home devices like locks and light switches, but you have to use HomeKit, which is way more fiddly than what Amazon lets you do with Alexa. Siri can't even set more than one timer, which is the main thing I use my Alexa devices for in the kitchen. It's crazy. And in the weirdest omission of all, Siri on the HomePod can't recognize multiple voices. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but if you just power through the setup without thinking about it, literally anyone can ask the HomePod to read your text messages if you're on the same Wi-Fi network. So if I'm in the basement and the HomePod's up here, someone can just roll up to it and start sending iMessages or ask it to read my most recent message, and I'll never know. Hey Siri, can you read me my last message? I found your most recent message from Phil. Hey Neelay, I don't know what kind of lonely audio nerds Apple designed the HomePod for, but I think you should turn off all the personal requests features of the HomePod until the company adds voice detection to this thing. Would you like to reply? Yes. What do you want to say? Hey, it's Neelay. I'm leaving. Becca runs the verge now. Your reply to Phil says, Hey, it's Neelay. I'm leaving. Becca runs the verge now. Ready to send it? Yes. I'll send your message. That's a huge glaring weakness in the HomePod. If you have roommates, you have kids, you live with any other people at all, you should turn off personal requests on the HomePod settings until Apple adds detection for multiple voices. And I still just don't know why it's not there. Amazon can detect multiple voices. Google can detect multiple voices. Apple can detect multiple voices. If you say, Hey Siri, only your phone responds. The HomePod is running an A8 chip, same as the iPhone 6. Should be able to do it. It's just not there. The HomePod is limited in other ways too. A lot of people on Twitter asked me if you could use it as a TV speaker and the answer is basically no. You can set the Apple TV to AirPlay to a HomePod, but the second you ask it to play music, it loses the connection and then you have to set the Apple TV to AirPlay again when you want to watch something. So you can do it. It's just super inconvenient. You also can't tell Siri on the HomePod to play something on the Apple TV the way that you can with Alexa and a Fire TV or Google Assistant and a Chromecast. Until AirPlay 2 comes out sometime this year, you can only use one speaker at a time. You can't have multiple speakers going at once. You can't use it as a Bluetooth speaker at all and you can't even set it up if you have an Android phone. You have to have an iOS device. And then there's Spotify and other music services. I've mentioned this a couple times already, but Spotify has way more subscribers than Apple Music and the HomePod doesn't really know Spotify exists. You can play Spotify on the HomePod over AirPlay if you want, but you won't really be able to control it with your voice. And Spotify is everywhere. You can get a ton of devices that support it directly. Apple Music is pretty much just limited to Apple's ecosystem. So you lose a ton of flexibility about where your music is available if you switch to Apple Music. It's a huge and frustrating limitation. Look, Amazon makes the Echo and they own Amazon Music, but they still let you set Spotify as the default. Google makes Google Home devices. They own Google Play Music and YouTube. They still let you set Spotify as the default. Apple just wants to lock you into that ecosystem and it's incredibly restrictive. I am an Apple Music subscriber. It's my primary music service and I still think this is frustrating. As a speaker, the HomePod is a huge accomplishment. It sounds incredible. Apple's audio engineering team should be so proud of itself. I actually went to Cupertino a couple days ago and toured Apple's audio engineering lab and got to see all the rooms they tested in. They've put so much work into this thing and it totally paid off. But Apple's audio engineering team should be pretty frustrated with the executives at Apple who decided that this thing needed to be restricted entirely to Apple's walled garden. If the HomePod would just open up a little bit and let you use the music service you wanted, let Siri be a little bit more extensible and would just be a little bit more capable, it would be the only speaker to buy. Absolutely. Look, if you're a huge audio nerd, you use entirely Apple products and you subscribe to Apple Music, you should get a HomePod. It sounds really, really good. But if you use Spotify, you should get something else. There are other speakers out there that sound almost as good and fit your life better. And ultimately, Apple needs to compete with that. Man, I really put a lot of words in this video.

What if smart glasses didn't make you look like a techno cyborg jerk? That's exactly what Intel is making. These smart glasses are called Vant, and they're completely different from what you're expecting. What's amazing about these glasses is they look normal, and they feel really light in my head. They only weigh about 50 grams. They're designed to do just one thing, show you simple basic information in one of your eyes. It has this little red monochrome projector that shines an image on a holographic mirror thing, which then bounces it directly into my eyeball, so I don't have to focus on it, it's just sort of down there. But the best part is that if you're not looking just slightly down at the display, it completely disappears so it's not distracting you. The other thing is you're not going to be tapping and swiping and doing whatever you might do like you did with Google Glass. There's no camera here. It's meant to be non-intrusive, non-annoying in social situations. But you can do little subtle things, like if a notification comes in and you want to read it, you can just kind of look over and it'll slide in, or you can dismiss it like that. Vant glasses are a prototype project from Intel's new devices group, and later this year, developers are going to be able to start using them. Now, they do need to be fitted to your eye's interpupillary distance so that the display can actually line up to your eyeball, so we went into Intel's lab in San Francisco to try them out. Take a look. Tell me what you see. I, uh, whoa, I see a red, I see an incoming call from CEO Brian Krizanich. You gotta take that. It fits in your face and it's basically, it's a heads-up display. It's just displaying some red text here that I'm just seeing right below my standard line of vision. How on earth is this thing showing me a heads-up display? Because I don't see it on the glasses. In fact, I don't even, oh, right there, I can finally see this thing is projecting into my eye. That's right. How is it, is it a laser? What's the story there? It is a VCSEL. A VCSEL? What is a VCSEL? Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser. Is this a safe thing to have? Absolutely. It's so low-powered. It's at the very bottom end of a class one laser. We had to integrate very, very power-efficient light sources, MEMS devices for actually painting an image. We use a holographic grating embedded in the lens to reflect the correct wavelengths back to your eye. The image is called retinal projection, so the image is actually painted into the back of your retina. If you wear prescription glasses, the prescription is used for looking at the world, but not for the image we send you. You can have terrible vision and still see bright, sharp, clear image that looks like it comes from infinity. I know what you're thinking. A thing that shows notifications in my eyeball all the time is awful, and Intel is very aware that you think that's awful. So they're trying to be really smart about the stuff that it shows you. It's trying to only show you really contextually important information. When these things are available to buy, what is it going to do? What sort of things is it going to enable? Is it just going to be all my Twitter mentions rolling in my eye all the time? Because that sounds awful. It's not. As you're walking around and standing where you are, that restaurant or that restaurant, which one has a better Yelp review? As I'm leaving my car, getting instructions to where I was actually going, not where I parked. Simple things that are, you're in the kitchen, you're cooking, you go, Alexa, I need that recipe for cookies. And it just appears on your glasses. We are providing a level of behavioral AI to our system that allows us to figure out what to show you when. Why would I feel like I need a pair of smart glasses, especially when I could also get a smart watch that can also show me notifications all the time? When I saw the first smartphone, I didn't go and say, wow, ride sharing, that's going to happen. But the fact is ride sharing would have never happened without smartphones. We're excited about this because it enables new use cases for developers to come up with. To try to figure out what all those use cases could be, later this year, Intel will open an early access program so developers can get units and start making stuff that works with the vaunt. By the way, it should work with both Android and iPhones. And throughout this whole process, Intel will continue to develop its own companion app and AI, and it will release more prototypes with different eyeglass styles. But then what happens? Why is Intel making smart eyeglasses? These are incredibly difficult to make. The electronics in here are incredibly compact. The ASICs that we have included are of our own design. The apps processor is our own as well. Just the whole thing is custom in order to fit in this package. Okay, so your Intel, you can do that crazy stuff, but just because you can... Doesn't mean you should. So why? Yes, I think BK has been quoted to say data is the new oil. I think other people say somewhat similar things. The point is you have to consume that data somehow. So not only do we want to manage the data and help you compute in the data center with Intel servers and all that other stuff, we also want to be part of presenting that data to you in a way that you can consume. So that's what we do. Right, so I just want to be clear. When you say that Intel thinks of data like oil, this thing isn't about collecting a bunch of biometrics from it. No. It's about taking all the data. Intel wants to be part of the story of there's a million pieces of data that might be useful to me, and Intel wants to be in that flow of the data in a way that it hasn't been before. So here's the bet with Vant. You want smart glasses, maybe you don't, who knows, but you definitely don't want glasses that are big and ugly and techy. And so you have to get over that hump of are you willing to put technology on your face? And the magic here is they've made that hump that you need to get over. Do you want tech on your face? Totally easy. Like this is fine. This is not a thing that I'm worried about wearing. And once you get past that issue of is this a thing that I would be willing to wear, then it's possible that there could be a whole bunch of emergent ideas that could come. These will hook you because of what they provide you, because how they can win over those constraints that other heavier screens can't, or they ask you for too much. Arriving at the grocery store, both hands on the cart, eyes scanning the aisles for the products we need, and we have the shopping list somewhere, right? But now we have it here. So those are very big dreams, but will the tech actually work? These prototype glasses definitely do, but it's going to be up to software developers to make them actually useful. And maybe more importantly, do you remember how smartphones changed how we all talk to each other? What do you think smart glasses are going to do? Will we accept that the people we're talking to might be reading Facebook on their glasses when we're just trying to have a dinner conversation? You can't really tell when somebody is paying attention to something on a vaunt. Only the person wearing the glasses can see it. We're a little ways from needing to worry about those social questions, but whether Intel releases smart glasses first or somebody else beats them to the punch, this technology is definitely coming. So I'm talking to you right now and you feel like you mean so much to me, but I'm actually playing a trivia game right now. Great. That's the feature I want. Yeah. Yeah. You can ignore people more efficiently that way.

Hey, it's Domri from The Verge. I got to try out Nintendo Labo today, a DIY cardboard kit made specially for Nintendo Switch. I got to try out a variety of mini games like fishing, playing with the keyboard, and stumbling around as a giant robot. Since it's all made of cardboard, it seems really simple, but there's actually a lot of really interesting tech behind it all. Before we get into all that, we have to start by actually building the projects. Oh wait, I have, I'm sorry. I would say this sheet of cardboard is actually a little bit thicker than your regular cereal box cardboard. Definitely not as thick as Amazon packaging cardboard, but I'm being as gentle and delicate as I can with it. It's a little bit like doing origami, but the cardboard is a lot stiffer than regular paper. This is making me realize just how spatially challenged I am. Oh, I think we messed up. But it's okay if you messed up, because you can go forwards and backwards on the app, and it tells you just exactly where you screwed up. If you've ever used the IKEA AR app, it's really helpful to see things in 3D instead of a flat 2D space. So we just finished building the RC car, and each kit actually comes with two of them. One is blank, so you can customize it however you want. You can control it with the switch here. Pressing the right red controller will make it vibrate and move. It does the same thing for the blue controller. If you want to make it go one direction, you can press both of them at the same time. So this part is really interesting. There's actually a camera in one of the controllers here, and you can see through the camera on the app. It almost kind of looks like night vision here. You can even make it look at me. There I am. And another super cool thing is if you just tap it one more time, it turns into a heat sensing camera. And actually, if you put it on auto mode, it can follow you around according to the source of heat here. If I put my hand in front of it, it follows the source of heat. This is actually the IR camera on the controller, and beyond seeing your own body heat, it works with these little reflective IR stickers that pick up on the camera really easily. And here's where the labo gets really interesting. By arranging them in a certain way, you're basically creating a code for the camera to receive. Sure, you expect the normal tilt-based controls, like this motorcycle where you turn the controller to drive the engine, or the robot visor where tilting my head controls the direction I walk. But something like the keyboard, each of the keys have a sticker on the back, which the camera at the end of the piano picks up to see which note is being played. There's also IR stickers on the little knobs you can plug in and dial to change the pitch of the sounds. For the robot kit, all these strings are attached to weights that pull the IR stickers up and down when you throw a punch. The controller in the back can see the stickers move, which controls the robot. So the IR camera on the controller really wasn't utilized that much before the labo. Basically, it can detect an object in a 3D space, so it was really only used for a handful of games, like the eating contest game on 1-2-Switch. What's really cool about labo is just how it opens up a world of possibilities. There's so much potential for 3D printing communities or the DIY enthusiasts online to come together and share what they know, just really make it their own. In keeping with this style, Nintendo actually introduced Toy-Con Garage, which lets you reprogram the toy-cons you have and remix their features and map different buttons to different actions. For example, if you press a button on the blue controller, it can make the right controller vibrate. So right now there's two different kits you can buy. There's the Robot Kit, which is $79, lets you stomp around as a giant robot. And there's also the Variety Kit, which is $69. Seems like a better value because there's five toy-cons you can make, and with the Toy-Con Garage you can actually remix and play with it all again. At the end of the day, Nintendo isn't just selling a cardboard kit, it's selling a platform. There's so much you can do with the technology they're offering. No matter which kit you decide to go with, I think you're going to love it all. I mean, for the first year of the Switch, it's already doing super amazing. Developers are flocking to the console, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what other things are going to add to it. You can tilt your head to move directions, walk up to a building, and just smash the hell out of it.

Super Bowl 52 is this Sunday, and if you're like millions of Americans who don't have cable anymore, this is your guide to streaming the big game. If you've got cable, satellite, or over-the-air antenna, you're already set. Just turn on the game at 630 p.m. Eastern, turn to your local NBC affiliate, which in New York City is Channel 4, and you're good to go. NBC is streaming the game for free through the NBC app and NBC sports apps. So if you've got a set-top box like an Apple TV, a Roku, a Fire TV, or a Chromecast, just download the NBC app. It's free. And then on Sunday, there'll be a free stream to watch just the Super Bowl, no cable login required. There'll also be all the regular commercials that you get if you had a normal stream, which is good if you don't particularly like football. The stream is usually a couple seconds behind broadcast TV, so if you don't want any big moments spoiled for you, maybe stay off Twitter. If you don't have a streaming box or smart TV, just pull up the NBC or NBC sports websites on your computer, plug in your HDMI cable, and you'll still be able to watch the game on your TV. Again, it's free, no cable login required, just for the Super Bowl. If you want to watch on your phone, in the past few years, you've only been able to watch over cellular if you had Verizon. That exclusivity deal is over, which means that you'll be able to watch on data through the NFL Mobile or Yahoo Sports apps. Lastly, you should always have a backup. So just in case NBC's app goes down, you can set up an over-the-top streaming service like Hulu's live service, YouTube TV, Sling TV, or Direct TV Now, which all have free trials, and you can have that ready to go just in case something goes wrong. No matter how you're watching, though, NBC is only airing the game in 1080p, so if you're hoping to take advantage of your 4k TV, you're going to be a little disappointed. That said, some of the Olympics will be in 4k next week, which is not so helpful to you now. And while we understand that football is largely an American affair, if you live in England and were hoping to catch the game, you'll be able to do so on the BBC's apps and websites. Just remember that it doesn't actually air until 1130pm in London. And if you live north of the border in Canada and want to catch up, you'll be able to do so on CTV, TSN, and the CTV Go app. Thanks for watching, and whether you're rooting for the Eagles, the Patriots, or Justin Timberlake at the halftime show, let us know in the comments who you're hoping to win the Super Bowl.

The new Mavic Air comes packed with features and modes like the ones you just saw. And you might have already seen some of them on the smaller DJI Spark and its predecessors, Mavic Pro and the Pro Platinum. In fact, the $800 Mavic Air shares a lot of similarities with both of these drones. But this video is not really a side-by-side comparison, it's more about whether the Mavic Air is suitable for more serious photo and video work. Before we start flying, we'll have to spend some time talking about the size of this thing. Portability is what the Air is all about. It is considerably smaller than the Mavic Pro, but it's also smaller than the Spark, at least at its folded state. The fact that Spark couldn't fold made it a lot harder to carry around unless you used the provided case. Unlike the Pro and the Spark, the Air actually feels a lot sturdier. It feels like something I can fold, put in my backpack and not have to worry about. Especially when the camera and the gimbal are way more protected than they were on the Mavic Pro. Granted, when you include all the accessories and batteries, the Spark is still a more portable setup as a whole, but you'll be sacrificing in image quality, flight time and smoother footage. Speaking of the camera, it has a 3-axis gimbal compared to 2-axis that you can find in the Spark, making the Air a lot better for videos. It also shoots 4K videos up to 30fps and has a 12MP still camera. You can also do slow motion up to 120fps and of course, that one is 1080p. The biggest difference between the Mavic Pro and the Air is the fact that the Air shoots at 100MBPS and the Pro shoots at 60MBPS bitrate. Now without getting into explaining what bitrate is, it results in a lot crisper footage with a lot more data packed into it. So most people won't really notice the difference between the two, but it's good knowing that there is an image quality bump. One thing to consider though, especially if you're into more serious commercial work, is that the sensor size on all these three drones is exactly the same. It's also smaller than the one you get on the Phantom 4, so if you're into that, you might want to skip the Mavic line entirely. Also, the Mavic Air has something that's called the APAS, or the Advanced Pilot Assistance System, but we'll get into that later. Alright, enough about drone specs, let's see how this thing actually flies and what kind of footage you get out of it. You can fly the Air in three different modes. There's the wired connection, which is a bit misnomer because there are no actual wires, it just means using the bundled remote. There's the wireless connection, meaning using only with your phone, and the third one is gestures. Now we won't focus on the last two because I think flying with your phone is a little weird and I will say the gestures, they work just as well as they did with the previous models. So the controller basically looks similar to the one you would get with the Mavic Pro, but without the screen. Also, there are no thumbsticks attached to it. The thumbsticks are actually hidden in this tiny rubberized storage compartment within the remote, just under the arms that grab your phone. It's a great little design tweak, which makes it a lot easier to stow the RC in your bag. So the first time setting it up, I will say I had some issues. My phone was connecting to my home WiFi, the link wasn't really working that well, and it just kind of made the initial pairing process a hassle. Once it was paired, each time I had to use the drone again, I would have to unpair and then pair back again. It sort of started to get annoying, but after I talked to DJI, they just told me to wait for the green light on the remote and the green light on the drone and it will just connect. And that did the trick, for the most part. On some locations I will still get some errors regarding the compass, but usually a quick reset will just fix the issue. Another major distinction between the Mavic Air and the Mavic Pro is that the Air uses WiFi, or enhanced WiFi, and the Mavic Pro here uses radio frequency. Now that's a change that not a lot of people will welcome, but in my testing so far, it hasn't really been an issue except for the initial pairing. I will say you would lose the video link every now and then, which can get a little nerve wrecking even for a skilled pilot. The footage looks fine. It's a minor step up in quality from the Mavic Pro, so if you recently got that one, don't feel bad. I have always found that the dynamic range can be an issue with smaller sensors, and the trend continues here. When you're shooting during the daylight with lowest ISO, everything looks sharp and rich. But once you introduce a scene with high contrast, such as sunrise, things start falling apart. In the footage you're looking now, the ISO was set higher than what I would normally do, and you can definitely see affecting the shadows. They look a little too noisy, and the dark areas start to crush or lose all their detail, which can be painful to edit, even when you're shooting in a center-light color profile, which gives you more flexibility in post. I got similar results with the photos, but with RAW files you still have more flexibility, and if you shoot bracketed, you can always just do the exposure blending after the fact. I said that I won't talk a whole lot about different modes that you can shoot, but there is one mode that I'm completely obsessed about, and you saw it at the beginning of the video. It's called Asteroid. The drone focuses on you, gives you a countdown, flies backwards and up into the air, where it hovers for about a minute and takes a spherical pano shot. The app automatically stitches everything into one video. My only issues are the black bars that you get towards the end of the clip, but they seem kinda unavoidable. There is one more standout feature in the air that we haven't talked about yet, and it's called the APES, which is short for Advanced Pilot Assistance System. It basically enables the air to 3D map the area around it and decide whether it should go around objects or fly over objects. Still, that's not something that you should rely on. Although it worked pretty well around testings, you just have to make sure that the feature is enabled and you're getting a good reading, which isn't always the case. Now, since the air is so small, a lot of people are concerned about how it's gonna perform in the wind. Unfortunately, we haven't had a windy day in San Francisco, so we weren't able to test that feature, but I did get the wind alert a couple of times when I really wasn't expecting it. Finally, that brings me to battery life. DJI marks this as a total of 21 minutes of flight time, and sure, on a full charge, you'll get that. But realistically, you're never on a full charge. By the time you set up the drone, take off, by the time you have to land it, you're looking at about 15 minutes. I do wish this was a little bit longer than that. Regardless, the Mavic Air really is the best of both worlds, those worlds being the Pro and the Spark. You get a slightly improved camera compared to the Pro, and a smaller body than the Pro and the Spark. Still, as I mentioned before, if you're looking into more commercial work, I'd strongly recommend you looking into the Phantom lineup. But if you're just a hobbyist or a freelancer looking to add another skill to your resume, the Air is the right drone for you.

So self-driving cars are supposed to be right around the corner, right? Self-driving car technology that sounded like science fiction just a couple of years ago is now a reality. Well, not exactly. Every year at CES in Detroit, automakers flock to show us all of their cool, weird self-driving car concepts. And this year wasn't any different. We saw weird cars from Mercedes, from Nissan, from Toyota. And while the cars are definitely getting smarter and the technology is undoubtedly getting better and better, the day when you'll be able to buy one of these cars or even ride in one, it's a lot farther out than you think. So, it's 2018. Where are we in the world of self-driving cars? The big takeaway from CES in Detroit was that automakers have stopped talking about demonstrating the technology or how good the technology is and started talking about how this technology is going to be used and how it's going to make them money. And that's a big deal. But it might lead people to think that they're going to start seeing driverless cars rolling down Main Street any day now. They're going to be very expensive initially, especially vehicles that have really robust systems with redundant computing systems, full sensor suites of camera, radar and LIDAR, and all the other features that are going to be part of these vehicles. So there's the cost factor. And then there's also concerns about liability with the vehicles. If something goes wrong, and it almost certainly will, I mean, we've already just seen the first lawsuit filed against a company testing one of these in San Francisco. So there's the liability concerns. And then longer term, if you look at the traditional model of a manufacturer who sells a car to a consumer or sells it to a dealer who sells it to a consumer, and then they're basically done with it, except for selling service parts. That's going to change. And we've already seen that happen with Tesla with doing over-the-air software updates. That's going to be happening with all of these vehicles going forward. And the whole model of support for these vehicles is going to shift to one of basically lifetime support for the vehicles, because they are going to require software updates and particularly security updates. And if you are just selling the vehicle and getting revenue for it one time, then it's hard to work out how are you going to pay for that ongoing support of the vehicle. A quick glance at the show floor here should be a huge wake-up call to anyone who thinks that this shift to autonomous cars isn't going to be incredibly messy. It's SUVs and trucks and crossovers, as far as the eye can see. Americans are still addicted to giant gas guzzlers, and who can blame them? Gas prices are super low right now. I mean, car companies are talking about things like mobility and smart cities and autonomous cars, but it's the Ford F-150s and the Chevy Silverados that make the money. So I guess the silver lining to the reality that we live in today, where trucks and SUVs dominate our car culture, is that car companies then take those profits from these vehicles and pump them into mobility projects for autonomous cars and connected cars, which is a good thing. So in 2019, we're going to start to see some of these projects move into more cities. And then by 2020, we're going to start seeing cars without steering wheels or pedals hit the road, fully driverless cars, and that's going to be a really, really big deal. But again, it's important not to get ahead of ourselves. It's probably going to be primarily urban areas where there's a high density of travelers. San Francisco will almost certainly be one of the first markets, especially for GM. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Phoenix area be one of Waymo's first markets. So those sorts of environments where you've got a high density of ridership that can operate both point to point and first mile, last mile services for riders, and then also start to incorporate some other services that can be used with these vehicles. Building these business models, bringing in other partners to utilize these vehicles when they're not carrying passengers, you want them doing some sort of revenue generating work. So Toyota announced their e-palette alliance. Ford is partnering with Domino's, Postmates, and Lyft, and we'll probably see other similar announcements coming from the other companies over the next few months so that the vehicles are always doing something productive and hopefully revenue generating. So meanwhile, while that's happening, the cars that we buy and drive every day are about to get crazy smart. I'm thinking Tesla with Autopilot or Cadillac with Super Cruise, these highly automated driver assist systems that basically let people take their hands off the wheel and their feet off the pedal, and the cars for all intents and purposes drive themselves. Now this is going to help pave the way to fully driverless cars. The idea being that as we're driving these really smart cars, we're going to get more comfortable with turning over control to our vehicles. And that's going to help us get to a point where, hey, it's okay to drive in a completely driverless car because I feel comfortable in this car drive itself. Now these are systems that are only available in pretty high end luxury vehicles. And the hope is that eventually they'll start to make their way into more affordable mass market vehicles, or else it's only really going to be available to rich people and that would suck. Cars are an integral part of our society, but they're also really dangerous. And it doesn't hurt to approach this whole technological shift a little bit more conservatively. Look, I like self-driving cars as much as anybody else. The idea of less traffic, fewer deaths, and less congestion is, I think, a great idea. But this is still a long ways away. Even if we're just now starting to see what this huge technology is going to look like. Yeah, I was just looking for a volume button. Could we turn it down a little bit? No, down. We're just going to try to shoot a video right here. And we just want to maybe look a little quiet for a sec, if that's at all possible.

Hey, this is Dani with The Verge and we're here in Anaheim, California at NAMM, which is the National Association of Music Merchants show. Now, a lot of this show does center around traditional instrumentation. So we're talking pianos, drums, guitars, things like that. But there is a portion of it that is devoted to technology and there's a lot of it. So we're going to wander inside and see what we find and play around with a lot of cool stuff and hopefully we will uncover some cool technology that we can share with you. So there's really been two overarching themes that have been really interesting at NAMM this year and that's the educational side where people are really trying to simplify the music making process and make it so that total beginners can enter and not feel scared and can learn to play any sort of instrument with relative ease. We saw Teenage Engineering, they came out with some new pocket operators and they're very cool little calculator size kind of mousetrap looking things that are sequencers with a very minimal set of buttons and their new ones let you actually record vocal samples into them. So you can take your own voice and create a completely synthesized version of it and play around with it. It's really wild, they're cheap, they're fun to use. Those were great. And then we also saw this little thing called the blip blocks which is a synth that's meant for three to eight year olds which is insane and it's got these little arrows on the top that show you the signal, how it goes throughout the instrument from button to button to the eventual output. So the idea is for little kids to get comfortable with the origins of synthesis before they actually graduate to something that requires a little more precision and attention. Then we also saw the one highlight piano strip. So it's an 88 key strip that you place on top of your keyboard and guitar hero style it teaches you how to play the notes light up as they're supposed to drop down on screen and you just follow along. I tried playing it, I screwed up quite a few times but after about five minutes I got the hang of the melody and nailed 100 percent. I felt really good about it too, it was great. We're also seeing this whole category of sort of third party add ons if you will, things that you can use in conjunction with equipment that you already have to add functionality or to make them even better than they already were. Another thing that we saw was a little rectangle called the phase and the phase is something that you put on top of a record on a turntable and it communicates with a hub and your computer to eliminate the need for a tone arm. So you can scratch a record, you can scrub through a song and you don't need to have a needle and you don't need to have a tone arm at all. It's wild. Also solving the tone arm problem we had a company called Rain which had actually created a brand new turntable from scratch that did not have a tone arm built into it whatsoever and that had a little pad on the side where the tone arm would traditionally be but it was a smart strip instead and you could just take your finger and run it down the side and use that to find your position within the song wherever you wanted the song to land. Just in a weird part of the music spectrum there have been a couple of VR experiences as well. There's a company called Aero Drums which lets you play drums in VR. So you have the sticks and then you have metallic reflectors on your feet and then there's a camera and using Oculus you can play an entire drum kit without making any noise, without actually buying a drum kit at all and you can swap out the drums to make a custom drum kit to whatever specifications you would want. So there's definitely a couple of companies that are trying to figure out how music can be accessible in a VR space, how successful they are. I'm not really sure but it really was fun to try them out at the very least. So those are really the two main categories that we're seeing here at NAMM and it's a really interesting time because over the past few years there has been this intersection of music and tech that has really tried to simplify the music making process and it's cool to be here and to see all of it in person and to watch that revolution happening.

Personalization is the future of the beauty industry. Over the past couple years, lots of brands have introduced their own apps and gadgets to help customers navigate their sprawling product portfolios. For decades, if you wanted to find or try makeup or skincare, you'd have to go into a store knowing what you wanted to buy, or at least what issue you wanted to address. You might have even needed to have a particular brand in mind to guide whoever ended up assisting you. And once you've bought whatever that thing is, you have no guarantee it would work, and you might have not been able to return it. Now, you can use augmented reality to try products on at home, or you can figure out what qualities of your face or hair needs the most attention with various connected gadgets. And you can track how much of a difference these products make with a smart mirror. General AR beauty apps exist, like Maytues Makeup Plus, as do more brand-specific ones, like Benefit's website-only brow try-on tool. Obviously, these let you experiment with different looks without spending money. The beauty of connected gadgets, on the other hand, is the personal attention given to your dermatological woes. Gadgets like HiMirror's face-scanning smart mirror, the Schwarzkopf professional salon lab analyzer, and Neutrogena's skin scanner all analyze your body to make suggestions on products. Of course, these brands are most loyal to themselves, so you shouldn't be surprised when they only recommend their own products. For example, Schwarzkopf's hair analyzer uses mirror infrared and light sensors to analyze hair through mirror infrared spectroscopy. Basically, the analyzer looks for the presence of a certain acid in processed hair to determine the state it's in. It told me I needed more moisture in my hair, so it paired with the company's salon lab customizer to create a custom shampoo to address my specific concerns. The machine changes shampoo's active ingredients based on user feedback and that hair analysis. Meanwhile, Neutrogena's skin scanner, which includes a moisture sensor, 12 LEDs, and a 30x magnification lens, also told me my skin needs moisturizing, so it recommended some Neutrogena products to try. Both of these products rely on each company's own algorithms to make recommendations based off their devices' readings. I believe these devices are providing real data, but I also don't think they're telling us anything revolutionary. I know when my skin is dry and when my hair is dry just by looking at it. Schwarzkopf, when asked about this, told me that the hair analyzer is more for hair stylists who might not be familiar with their client's hair history. The idea behind all these products is to help people more directly address their concerns. They don't have to waste their time or money on something that won't actually help with moisture or whatever else they want to fix. If you understand a company's products and you find that they actually do what you want them to do, then you're more likely to stick with them. Personalization builds loyalty and makes these companies money. That's exactly what Ann Lemon says too. She's the senior manager of international IoT and corporate venturing at Schwarzkopf. Convenience makes a big difference as well because we all don't have so much time anymore and we don't want to spend it in front of a shelf and deciding what we need. I appreciate this. I've tried so many different products yet always tend to have my favorite brands. And drugstore brands are especially daunting because there are so many products and you can't try them on without buying them like you can at Sephora. But with that said, a gadget that constantly points out my flaws doesn't make me feel great. Sure, I'm slightly vindicated because I know my skin is dry and that my hair could probably use some extra conditioner, but still, it sucks to hear. Over the years, I've talked to and trusted lots of Sephora employees, bloggers, and friends for recommendations. And we all have different hair and skin issues, so what works for them doesn't always work for me. Maybe at this point, personalized gadgets and recommendations are worth a shot. You look great. I love your eyes. That's not great looking, but okay.

So I am recording this little selfie video with the DJI Osmo 2, which is a handheld gimbal that keeps your phone steady and can do stuff like track your face, track other people's faces and let you make way better video with your phone than you could if you were just holding it with your stupid dumb hand. What's amazing about this thing is it only costs $130. This is the original Osmo Mobile and it was retailing for about $300. The differences between these is this is a little bit lighter, it has a longer lasting battery which you can no longer remove. There are a few other differences worth talking about too, but to me the most important difference is that this thing, in addition to holding your phone in landscape mode, can be rotated and you'll be able to shoot in portrait mode. As everybody knows, portrait mode video, portrait mode selfies, portrait mode whatever is the way that most people look at videos on their phone these days, on Snapchat and Instagram and so on. If you're familiar with gimbals, a lot of the stuff I'm about to say to you is stuff you already know, but it's worth talking about because this thing is so much cheaper than any other gimbal. It's $130, so a lot more people are going to pick this thing up. What this thing is for is for stabilizing your video and giving you better, smoother tracking shots as you move around the world. Your smartphone probably already has a bunch of really good image stabilization, but what it doesn't have is the ability to just hold it up with one hand way far out and have these smooth easy good tracking moves. It also probably can't do a thing where you can track somebody's face with it and then it will handle the camera movements for staying centered on their face while you pan the camera around. You can get a bunch of shots that you wouldn't be able to get on your own with just a phone. It's pretty cool. The thing you should know about the current demo that I'm doing right here is right now I'm using beta software and it gets a little buggy sometimes. Because this thing can shoot in portrait mode and because it can also handle larger phones, you need to spend a little bit more time than you might be used to adjusting it. There's a few adjustments that you can make. The first is on the clamp, which is just sort of a spring grip here, which isn't great. There's also another knob over here so that you can move it in and out. The reason that that matters is you're going to be doing a lot more of it because when you switch from portrait mode to landscape and vice versa, you're going to need to recalibrate this thing every time to make sure that it stays balanced. I would say that's a big knock on this thing, but the last one couldn't even do portrait mode, so it's not that big of a deal. As I've been saying over and over again, this thing, the DJI Osmo 2, is only $129. It's available for pre-order now and if you're really looking to up your video game with your phone, it's almost an impulse purchase. I think a lot of people are going to be picking this thing up. Here we go, do you want one? Ah! It's sucking. You did it on purpose. Yes, I did. You did it on purpose.
