 We're already live where it's already done. Thank you Colton. I appreciate the help. It was great. It was great We have awesome news this week. I'm sure you guys know of at least some of it There's been the crazy battlefield controversy going on Why do I keep us in a big battlefield the crazy battlefront controversy going on with the like most downvoted comment of all time on Reddit and all this other stuff. We're of course going to talk about that But there's also some other crazy things too like the Firefox hardware survey has some interesting nuggets of information for us that we're going to analyze later on and Face ID hacked in the first week BAM suck it Apple. Oh, this is not good for anybody That's the people who did it. I guess yeah, and if you're watching last night Tesla unveiled finally their semi truck and a surprise The second iteration of their roadster. Yeah, their original vehicle. Yeah new fastest car ever fastest production car of all time super epic intro It's it's not so there we go almost The Wang show Thank you one in three chance don't take zbox system enter to win heck yeah Mac weld in 20% off I fix it protect toolkit Why not you where we go BAM? We're back and just right into it with the battlefront news. I think that's do it Honestly actually I'm gonna cut in slightly before this shameless self-promotion big charity stream happening tomorrow 24 hours on my twitch channel Twitch.tv slash Luke underscore lafr going at least 24 hours. I think it's supposed to be like 27 hours Doing a whole bunch of different games one game per hour iterating every year blah blah blah blah show up I need help support extra life. It's gonna be awesome. Okay. Bye anyways next there or be mean or Just enjoy your day in some other way Battlefront crazy stuff happening. There's a post on reddit. We're gonna show it here right now The reddit post was talking about how it takes 40 hours to unlock a hero They talk about a bunch of different stuff the post has been updated a few times actually been very well taken care of by The hotter potato this has been nuts if you've been on the internet this week almost at all Even if you're not that into gaming you have probably heard about this. There's huge controversies where countries like Belgium are considering classifying different games as gambling online gambling because of how loot boxes are being handled because This post has gotten so big that it has gotten to people that manage laws in countries, which is pretty crazy The congressmen are being contacted about this like it's it's blown up to a ludicrous degree Which is good or bad depending on your stance probably bad Let's start at the beginning Yeah So the beginning is this post and then what really blew it up is the developer responding? Which usually makes things better it super did not I'm sure a lot of this is Same old same old from what you guys have heard so before we get into their response Why don't we align what happened to begin with it was basically everyone getting? Yes, super super duper mad because the new Star Wars Battlefront 2 game from EA Which is a flagship title that cost 80 bucks. Yes also has heavily These pay-to-win game mechanics So how that kind of works and I played in the beta and I started to feel it as well is a lot of games Have loot boxes you've got overwatch where you get a bunch of different skins or portraits or whatever Shadow of war had some issues here as well where it could really help you with your gameplay, but I beat on the hardest difficulty Without using any of them. That's not a brag a lot of people did this it's not that difficult of a game And it's not that big of a deal. This is where it became a big problem This is a multiplayer game, and they directly give you extremely powerful advantages against your enemy Not just a static skins and stuff like that like overwatch. No yeah like directly Power you are better you do more damage you regen more health you have more health you lock onto targets faster You don't get locked onto as fast these types of things But surely you can achieve those things from just playing the game and not spending money yes But it takes a ludicrous amount of time how much time I don't know the exact hours But I think someone calculated as like over six months It's 40 hours to unlock a hero, but there's other stuff as well like the the hero That's definitely part of it And you can't get Vader without playing the game for 40 hours Which is ridiculous because most people aren't gonna play the game for 40 hours player or like just the game the game It's it's how it's balanced is not based on skill Which is another thing that's pissing people off if you do really really well in a round and you kill a ton of people You're not gonna get that many more credits than someone who just played for the same amount of time that you did okay? Which is bugging a lot of people which sounds like money making business practice Yeah, because you have to pour a huge amount of time in like 40 hours to unlock something like a hero the part that bugs Me even more than the hero part the hero part is just it hits that 40 hour number, so it's easily digestible Yeah, okay the cards you get these different cards that you put on your character to give you different bonuses, okay? Say you're playing the spaceship combat mode. I'm in a bomber. You're in a tie fighter I've spent a whole bunch of money on the game just money man tossing it all over the place I have something that makes it so that I lock on to targets 200% faster Holy cow also my bombs do increase damage, and I move faster You don't have any cards you just started the game. You just launched up. You were just fighting another bomber You're in a fighter you were able to get away from him and get out. You're like sick. Okay. I got this new move I spin and lists slightly to the left and everything works out great you try to do the same thing against me I lock on to you 200% faster. You can't get out of the way conk you're dead Yeah, okay that directly strongly affected gameplay based on card advantages now to get to the top There's the different tiers of these cards as well to get to the top tier of cards You kind of have to craft your way up the easiest way to get crafting materials those loot boxes The easiest way to craft your tear up to the top card is loot boxes people who spend money will be directly better at online competitive modes Because of this and it's lots of money from remember quickly if you want to unlock everything like top tier Of every card and all the heroes. It's like 2100 dollars or something. That's I'm saying that off the top of my head I don't remember exactly is that like even a realistic thing that anyone would want to do or realistic. That's the thing. Yes It absolutely is if you look into the game industry right now, especially the mobile side Which are the guys that have been doing more of this kind of like loot box pay-to-win mechanics? It hasn't been in a lot of full price games because that's ridiculous That's the whole controversy like do you think people yeah as mad if this game was free to play? No, I don't think they'd be nearly because you already paid 80 bucks. Yeah, so What they're targeting is what's? Called in the gaming industry is whales, right? It's small amounts of people I've heard people I know PewDiePie in his videos had 10% I doubt it's anywhere near that high I'm gonna go with 1% or lower of players will spend a ludicrous amount of money these are the guys that will play a mobile game and just be like I'm gonna spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars not an exaggeration wreck all of you literally thousands I spoke to when I was traveling I met some people from Silicon Valley who worked in the industry and they said they had a very small percentage of users who had Spent over a hundred thousand dollars just on on that mobile app. Yeah insane Absolutely nuts and there are definitely lots of people that will spend that twenty one hundred dollars to on day one. Oh Have a huge advantage on everyone else That also makes it that you possibly put in sheets like is it that fun to have god mode? It's not quite god mode But it is a noticeable advantage and the biggest issue for me is it creates a concept in the game Where when someone kills you you can legitimately say that it was because of something that wasn't skill Yeah, you can you can lose be like overpowered. That's emba and he just spent more money on the game That's why he won and you might not be wrong Which is ridiculous in lots of game like that in lots of games where you're like Oh that guns just overpowered the response from pretty much everyone else is gonna be like, okay Then use it or like find a way to counter it get good something like that in this game You could be like he just spent more money What can I do and that's a legitimate stance and that is ridiculous That shouldn't be able to be a legitimate stance But it has been made so by the developers and it's ridiculous Because of one of the statements that they said in this official post on which I'm gonna jump back to here Which drives me absolutely insane it drove the entire internet insane and I'm sure you've all heard this but where is it? Duh duh duh duh duh And you really mean that this is like a record-breaking. Oh, yeah record breaking down. It says right now negative twenty point nine thousand But it's way more than that. I don't know what happened. It must have been on a slope or auto corrected curve, whatever But I saw it personally at over six hundred thousand and I'm sure it was higher than that at some point in time But yeah Let's see here will continuously adjust our progression mechanics to give players a sense of accomplishment as they all As they explore all of battlefront 2 that has driven everyone nuts because the sense of accomplishment isn't skill It's not doing better at the game gives you more credits it's spending more time on the game gives you more credits and You can just skip all of that and have a sense of freaking accomplishment by paying a whole bunch of money Into the game and instantaneously being better than everyone removing other people's sense of accomplishment by squishing on them with your cash Because you bought better freaking cards or heroes or whatever the question I have is when you come into this as a new who hasn't spent anything yet And you get absolutely demolished by someone who has Are you just gonna put the game down and not play it anymore or are you gonna be motivated to spend? They're obviously banking on the ladder, but what do you think is actually gonna happen for people? I think it's gonna be a little bit of both if you have this is the the frustrating situation you have right here if you have a group of friends Some people are saying yeah, I think it was a slightly different quote I don't know if it was from a different poster this one has been edited or what but I think it was slightly different anyways if you have a group of friends that all play games together you guys have been playing games together since high school or something and Two out of six of the friends start playing battlefront all right you normally play a game all together But these guys want to play battlefront They just bought it Then maybe one or two more guys buy battlefront because they were playing the last two guys are gonna cave because four to six have it Anyways, it's very easy if a couple people in a group start playing a game that everyone will eventually play it because everyone just wants To play together and something new and shiny that's great now. You're all playing together, but Jim and Larry Don't have as much time they spend more time at work. They're great gamers. They're great in your crew You love having them there, but they don't have as much time so to make up for the time They're gonna spend money on the game Even though they're great gamers They're top in score charts and everything they could normally make up the time by getting more credits and just doing better in the game It's not something like counter-strike. It doesn't matter at all because they don't care if they don't have the fancy skins They still get the same freaking gun. Yeah, so they're like overwatch. It doesn't matter They don't care if they don't look as cool. They have the same heroes Everything's fine Or even in destiny they just scale it they just scale it and in destiny you there's loot boxes sort of bright engrams But they just give you aesthetic items, and it doesn't really matter These are games where you can catch up through skill or catch up because there's nothing to catch up on Instead of oh, I'm gonna catch up by spending money. That is my mechanic to catch up to I didn't realize there was this time issue It's almost completely separate from the money issue. It's yeah Well, that's the big problem is they kind of work together the money issue almost as like alleviates the time issue But that's some sicko that's like that mechanic though Yeah, yeah so like the problem I have is because Let's take a look at my brother my brother works a lot and has crazy work hours because he he drives truck for movie production Companies so they work to crazy hours of the night They work crazy long hours in general and you usually get on for a specific show and they want to film that entire show, right? So for the duration of that show you're working nuts Oh amount of hours if he wants to play a game like this. It's very likely that it would make logical sense I'm not saying he's going to I'm not saying he's not going to but it would make logical sense for him to buy some boxes So you can catch up to the rest of us that would be able to play more if we were playing this game That makes sense for him. The problem is that the game is based around that Yeah, and it is trying to push people to do that if gaming companies start making money They'll try to find ways that make more money. Yeah, the time and money thing are mutually reinforcing Yeah Yeah the thing about back to the question of like if you are more likely to just stop playing versus More likely to spend money in order to not get squashed You already have this sunk cost of 80 80 bucks. That's a big issue, too And like oh it was free you could walk away. Yeah. Oh if I just spend 10 more bucks I'll have more fun, but then it's gambling which is another huge issue So you spend 10 more bucks and maybe you want to play the heavy class in the ground war game instead of the space game Or whatever you want to play it Let's just go with the heavy class and you don't get any of the cards that you want for the heavy class You already spent your 10 bucks. It's gone You didn't get any of the cards come out of loot boxes and the loot boxes are random So it's gambling because maybe now you have to spend more. You don't know I like playing the bomber in the starfighting game thing. I played in the beta I only want cards for the bomber. I play the bomber on both sides. I play the tie bomber and I play the a-wing I If I don't get cards to the bomber, I'm just gonna want more loot boxes It's gambling You can craft cards too. Yeah, and you can craft someone just in the chat just said you can craft cards, too Great people who spend money in the game will be able to craft more cards Because they'll have more materials from the other cards and the more you play the game if I played that spaceship combat game for enough time I would eventually want to branch out of just fighting with the bomber ship It's not necessarily true for everyone or Y-wing. Sorry. It's not necessarily true for a-wing is a little fast one. Sorry It's not necessarily true for everybody But a lot of people including myself are gonna want to branch out then they'll want cards for other things Then you're running out of crafting materials Then it costs $2,100 to get all of the cards in the game because now you actually enjoy the game because you spent $80 And it's the only game you bought this season maybe It's just frustrating because now that it's here. They're building the game around it That's one thing that I actually defended shadow of war with is when playing shadow of war It didn't feel like they had built the game around the idea of the loot boxes the loot boxes gave you money They gave you some followers, but the entire game. It's like smash the game It's like smashed in your face that there's these no not shadow of war No It's smashed in your face that there are these Orcs all over the place and you just need to press the one button and it actually ends the combat faster if you want to Recruit them so like it the game gives you these orcs all the time, so it's not that big of a deal I didn't mind it that much. It didn't feel like the game was designed around it battlefront absolutely Absolutely battlefront 2 feels like it was designed around the idea of the loot boxes instead of the other way around which is bad This is very bad So we haven't even got to the news portion which is the fact that after a brutal AMA where they just made everyone even more mad with your question dodging and brutal unsatisfactory answers They made another determination which was for now. They're just gonna turn off all of it all the ability to purchase crystals in in game will now be Completely off the offline and John told me that actually if you go to the the interface where you go to buy these crystals Instead of just removing the button and not letting you go Into that area you can click the button and it brings it just like a random janky blank page Maybe people on the chat can confirm or deny this but that's I haven't seen that I don't I don't have it Some of the chat said Luke won't be streaming battlefront 2 Technically, I will be streaming battlefront 2 I'll be streaming battlefront 2 tomorrow It'll just be the original one because I'm playing games throughout the years So I don't remember what your the original battlefront 2 came out in but I'm playing it for that year So it's gonna be all pixelated and wonky and fun. So and fun Fun, there's no loot boxes It's great 2007 apparently what no maybe It's not 2007 So thing to note about them turning off this This game mechanic for the buying is that they didn't remove it They've just turned it off and they say the ability to purchase crystals in game will become available at a later date Once EA has made changes to the game So it's funny because the internet seemed to lag here a little bit It felt like if you if you pile everyone which isn't fair. It's not fair I understand if you pile everyone on the internet into one little hive mind bubble They read the first part and then about an hour or two later Read the second part because the whole internet rejoiced like we we did it read it. We won they took microtransactions out accomplished and then like Starting about half an hour to an hour later. It started kind of bubbling up and then by two hours later it had Past posts about the original happiness that oh my goodness. They're just putting the microtransactions back in the game And they called it the weight what an ink Yeah, so like it's it's frustrating because this is so transparent They're trying to get this huge wave of people that are refunding the game like me to Rebuy it play it long enough that now they're invested Maybe they have a group of friends that play or I don't know how the great game guarantee works on origin I know that I played for zero hours So I was or zero minutes zero seconds, whatever so I was able to they're gonna wait till that expires I think so, but I don't know if that matters I don't know how the great game guarantee works But they're trying to they're gonna wait till people are kind of stuck in it or can't refund it or whatever and then they'll put Microtransactions back in they'll make their money off their whales and they'll move on. I'm sure that the microtransactions I'm sure it's gonna be they're gonna adjust it so you don't have to do so much work The disparity won't be so huge. Okay, there was a huge issue there as well. Did you hear about this? So they reduced the cost of heroes But then they did the amount of credits that you get that's right So they basically just it was the same Basically, they did two different moves that were both two-faced non moves. Yeah They were like hey We reduced the cost of yours by the way We also reduced the amount of credits you get don't worry about it, right? So and they're like, hey, we removed microtransactions of the game by the way, they're also coming back. Don't worry about it So it was like a hero used to be a grand but you start with a hundred bucks Now a hero is only a hundred bucks, but you start with ten bucks Yeah, that's what you're saying it's ridiculous Yeah, essentially So I guess this controversy just got so bad that they were actually afraid of losing their launch day sales like that upfront $80 Yeah, that was gonna get so heavily eroded that they're like, okay We can't sacrifice that and I wonder at some point because like a lot of these moves are so dense like a sense of accomplishment when you're answering a response a Post which its title is it takes 40 hours to unlock a hero? And you can just buy it like that's so Obviously not the right way to respond to that I seriously wonder at some degree if this isn't just any press is good press Because now every single gamer definitely knows about battlefront every single mom and dad knows battlefront is around No, this is too too bad too bad too bad. Usually when companies take that strategy on they only alienate People who weren't gonna get their product anyway You know what I mean? Yeah someone in the chat Oni Hikage, I think I probably butchered that name I'm sorry said Disney CEO literally called up the EA CEO and told them to remove the option to pay for loot boxes because Disney Started getting crap for purchasing which is mechanics toys children I haven't seen anything about that at all if I ever did that be pretty badass Or he's just like looking out for a bro. He's like yo, this is not going well for us. Don't do it Yeah, I I don't know. I haven't heard anything about that But it's it is pretty brutal there are people who have been posting examples of like the the Disney Star Wars XD shows the animated ones where it's like a show a about How gambling is bad based in the Star Wars universe? It's like a part of the Star Wars show I think it's rebels and it's about how gambling is bad and then they have a Star Wars game That has gambling in it and you can say as much as you want like this isn't a kids game kids are gonna play it Like our generation we played I'm assuming you did as well I thought our games pretty early on Grand Theft Auto was one of the ones that my parents were like I played it a little bit at like friends houses and they knew and they didn't care but like okay like Halo I was in there pretty early on Counter-Strike. I was in there quite early. Oh is anything goes and I grew up And then like the thing is now it's our generation and a little bit above that are starting to have well fair a bit Above I guess that are starting to have kids at these ages that where you're talking about where they might watch something like Disney XD You think our generation that grew up with like shooter games is gonna care too much if someone plays Battlefront Which is like pretty innocent for a shooter game. Oh, yeah, like can you? Can you chop people up your lightsaber? Humans not I think I think it goes through them. I don't think they split in half. They just like fall over Yeah, cuz like ever since I was eight. I've wanted to be able to just totally just people with charred remains Yeah, I'm not sure I could be wrong on that So if you can't do that then like that's I don't know kids are absolutely gonna be playing this game. It doesn't matter that it's ESR be rated Whatever. I don't even know what it is might be M. I don't know what they are. I don't look at them There's no way what is what is the normal rating teen? Okay, that makes sense teen whatever kids are definitely gonna be playing it and gambling's in it and Like a gambling mechanic that makes you better at the game is in it and that's bad because kids always want to be better There's always that kid in your school that was like my shoes make me run faster Now there's gonna be some kid being like I have a better card for my ship. I'm better than you Yeah, that's I could see kids at school being like You suck about fuckers your scrub. Yeah, I bet they don't say scrub anymore They should bring it back. It's retro. Yeah, and it's uh Pretty cool as far as I'm lazy James thinks you should bring scrub back Mmm. Yeah, I know we've talked about this topic for a long time, but it is pretty important. We can get on with it Though we're pretty we're pretty done. Aren't we? Yeah I guess I'll talk about like the aftermath and kind of what to do and stuff So a lot of people have been bringing this to local representatives because they're trying to get loot boxes and games classified as gambling I do think personally that something needs to happen I'm a little bit worried about how far Seeing things in games as gambling could go because like randomized loot off of a monster that you have to farm by spending more Time in the game where a game is subscription based Might be seen as gambling Slippy slope so it depends where it ends, but something needs to happen and loot boxes are Just horrible. So maybe Contact your local authorities to some degree Well, I can tell you the language that the Belgium Commission was using So the Belgian gambling Commission is investigating battlefront because the loot boxes and what they said was Loot crates that you purchase without knowing what's inside can be considered gambling because your ability to succeed in the game Is dependent on chance and therefore it's a game of chance. And if it's a game of chance, so that permit so if that individual item is Purchased and it's a random chance. That's that's a good way to define it because I don't want to screw with like Random chance that is inherently built within games Well, I think that the emphasis here that in my interpretation anyway, is that your success in the game really depends on it Yeah, see that anyway, this is probably not a conversation to bother have on Wanshow But that's where like like if you get a legendary item in World of Warcraft Your success in the game could be based around getting that it affects your success for sure But like but it's no but it's not a loot crate And it's a totally different style of system and blah blah blah blah. It should be pretty easy to divide between I don't think it's actually gonna be a problem. So Let's move on tough tough topic. Yeah, how about that face ID that iPhone X? Yeah, let's jump to that. Yeah Oh, they did it. So how did it happen exactly? It's so awesome if you bring up the pictures of this mask is actually a YouTube video You can play the YouTube video just with the sound off. It has some pedals anyway Yeah, it's one of the sources. What the heck? Okay, I'm gonna show Security researchers in Vietnam have cracked Apple's new face ID using a composite mask consisting of a silicon nose Literally paper cut out 2d eyes mounted on a plastic frame that they 3d printed Okay, that that's this is no good this is not it well the there's like a one like a two minute video Oh, yeah, this is 51 minutes. I was like, maybe I can find the right thing. It's linked from the forum thread. Okay, give me a sec So the caveat here is like even though this mask only took 50 bucks to make They did have to actually scan the the victim's face with like a face scanner So that's kind of integral to it But other than that the eyes were actually just printed out paper and it's a simple silicon nose silicone nose getting a scan of someone's face is gonna be Not that easy. What did they have to scan it with they used a handheld? Like dedicated scanner, but they say that in the depth scanner Yeah in the future you might be able to use one of those Just like cell phone ones. Yeah, or even just construct the image with With images like just use images to make them all yeah Okay, because if you could be like sitting across the table at dinner with someone and oh, I'm just on the bus or like Yeah, and inadvertently get someone's you have to go around them though, right? Yeah, so not that far because they just have the white meshing on on most of the sides So he just used that thing to unlock Like if you look at it the sides of the face show the front at some point here, but There's a couple things about this Number one is it's hilarious because at launch Apple said that it worked with professional mask makers and makeup artists in Hollywood To make sure that masks couldn't be used to hack face ID And these like random dudes have already done it with something that doesn't look all that professional Well, that's the other thing is especially the eyes. It's literally just printed out in like his Face a picture of his face They cut out the eyes from that picture and put it onto this like mannequin head That's wild and the reason that's especially interesting is because people thought from the patents that Apple took out That eye movement factored in Thought from the patents that Apple took out that eye movement factored in to face ID But this would suggest otherwise and if eye movement doesn't factor into face ID Then that means that you can use potentially someone who is unconscious Knocked out or even dead to unlock a phone, which is pretty scary even even the The touch what do they call that touch ID? Ah, yeah, even they're super creative even touch ID which Apple claims is like an order of magnitude less secure Yeah face ID even that when you have it sense like the heat of your thumb So if you'd been dead for more than like a couple hours or a day, they couldn't unlock your phone You can body. Yeah, you can do that slightly artificially by like external heating and all this other junk But like it's it's not that easy. It's a lot harder than just like You know what I mean, like it's yeah, it's there's always gonna be a way to get through some form of security Nothing is 100% secure. But like it's kind of sad This has already been done and it's kind of it's interesting because cameras on stuff like phones Are constantly getting better and they're constantly starting to implement things like depth scanning and all this other stuff So we're gonna get closer and closer progressively to breaking through this being easier and easier The security on this gets worse over time unless they're actively improving it And it does improve it does improve itself as you use it or more and more Yeah, like I've heard of people being locked out when they put their glasses on and it had yeah when they did the initial scan They weren't wearing glasses or their hair wasn't in their face So then it locks you out you enter your code and when you enter your code, it's like oh The the model that we just took like you with glasses on we're gonna add that to the model now So that's that's just annoying Expanding the model, but it's not necessarily making it more secure Like see like the having hair in your face and stuff is just annoying I don't I don't want to deal with because it gets in your eyes and well no Good call good call But like like with touch ID if I just like with mine, it's not touch ID, but I have a fingerprint sensor on the back Doesn't matter what situation I'm in I can be completely covered in mud If I just like wipe my finger off real quick and go burp I get in my phone Yeah, well you still got the passcode and that but like it's just I don't know But it's pretty sick that like I can't even remember the last time he's it's that's still an action that you're taking right? You're deciding granted that it's muscle memory that you do automatically after a while Yeah, you're still taking an action to unlock your phone. Whereas Apple is pursuing a time when you just kind of go like do not know you don't even do that You're just like look at you like by the time you look at your phone. It's unlocked. That's sick So they're like trying to get there. I guess they should be able to get there I guess they should be aspiring to that that's because that's optimal use case as long as it's secure It's not there yet though Evidently it's slower than touch ID, which is frustrating Fingerprint is pretty insecure though. Yeah, it has a lot of issues too. It's like one in fifty thousand or something like that Yeah, it's like I don't know There's a bunch of problems with their methodologies here. So the story is absurdly short-sighted It's it's is there though because some people were saying that it's possible that when they registered their face They like had their face obscured or something like that or tried to make their face kind of more like the mask So that they were more similar. Yeah, but they and there hasn't been there's no way to verify that but the researchers did say that they made four other masks that didn't work and Once those ones failed they re-registered re-registered their face on the face ID and that after registering their face They didn't do any passcode entries to update it. That's what they say Yeah, I don't know if if nothing else all I really want this to stand for is to reinforce that anything can be broken into No one should ever consider anything absolutely secure this Might be better. I don't necessarily think it's easier when I go to I always use my phone when it's in my hand I never go like I'm gonna look at it. Well, it's on the table So Linus does that we talked about this once and he was like he hated that the fingerprint things were on the back because he often Wants to like just unlock it when it's on the table. Yeah, he's told me that I don't I don't I just heard a lot of boo Who who? Yeah, that doesn't apply to me. Whatever. Yeah about that doesn't apply to me either So like it and it's become a natural part of picking up the phone to unlock it So it's usually unlocked by the time you get to it Yeah, so the speed thing doesn't help for me personally and face ID is slower Heads over there mad because he's an Apple user and he just doesn't know what it's like to have that fingerprint reader on the back Do you have a 10? Gravy baby. Do you have a 10? No? You wish This is the perfect phone. Apple 10 is probably the pinnacle of phone technology. I don't think anyone's going to make anything better after this Even Apple. Yeah, maybe Maybe it is the end I don't know if you guys can hear that but just in case any of you missed it that was sarcasm It's a fantastic tool. But yeah, I I don't know I I just don't like it for a lot of reasons personally But if you do like it, that's great run with it. Do whatever you want personal preferences are awesome Just do know that nothing is completely secure We should also mention that the fact that you can like scan someone's face and then make a mask and unlock their phone That's like espionage level packing. Yeah, like this is more likely They're just gonna like run by you and grab it or grab it and then choke hold you and make your face look at it And then run away or steal your phone and go hey, is this your phone and then you look at it? Yeah, it is and then Thanks That would actually work way too. That's pretty good. Hey, if a guy with a balaclava comes up to you says this is your phone So everyone's gonna have to carry around masks so that if they have to chase someone who steals their phone they can put the solution This is more masks. Yes. Yeah, take those laws away that we can't wear masks Everyone has to wear a mask so that when they go to unlock their phone, they just go huh? And then put it back down. Yeah, it just occurred to me that there's gonna be people in the Middle East who like want to use face unlock Do they? Do they just not use face unlock? Do they just only use it at home use a passport or just use the passcode in public? Yeah, never thought of that Yeah Moving on anyways last night I got to watch this awesome live stream. Oh of Ellen Musk It can't be Elon Ellen Musk degenerates they had a child together and they hyphenated the last name That like that hurt physically I need a moment anyways, okay, so no I know it's Elon. Yeah, they finally unveiled the semi truck. Yes, which I think is pretty BA The question on everyone's mind is when and where are you gonna be able to make these things? Given that you're struggling so hard to produce the Model 3 for the next like two years And you're spending a billion dollars per quarter on doing that. You can't just build another gigafactory Apparently they're gonna be start shipping or not shipping. They're gonna start producing the semi truck in 2019 And the new Roadster, which is gonna be the fastest car fastest production car by acceleration in the world. That's 2020 Yeah, so things could happen before 2020 and change that claim But as of right now it theoretically is which is really cool. There's a lot of Really awesome things about the truck, but there are concerns like you just said, how are you gonna make this? I do know their their production lines are constantly increasing So maybe a theory somewhere says that they'll be able to actually make them properly by 2019 Maybe one will be made in 2019. Are they making two more gigafactories as well? They're constantly expanding so I can't claim to know what is gonna happen in terms of their production line Semi truck itself is pretty dope though. Did you check it out? It looks cool. It looks pretty cool. And I've been saying for quite a long time that Semi trucks and trucks in general are gonna be super important for Tesla because trucks Things that need huge amounts of torque are gonna benefit from electric engines a ton Now there are some issues coming from the trucking industry like my grandfather His job actually for like basically ever was financing semi trucks for people and companies that want to get into trucking So a super important detail is cost per kilometer or cost per mile and they talked about that in the stream That was a direct call out for companies and financial institutions that finance the semi trucks because they're extremely expensive That was a direct, hey, look at us. It's gonna be easier to get loans because you can throw this number Which is one of the most important numbers when you're buying a truck that is it is cheaper per kilometer You can also throw in numbers like the truck is guaranteed for whatever amount of distance if you have a breakdown It's some ridiculous number If oh, yeah. Yeah, what was that? If you have a break? Oh, yeah What happened was it's got four separate independent engines and two of them can break down and you can still go like 400 miles or something like that Yeah, it's not in this document. Okay, by the way, speaking of price, they did not mention an absolute price at all They only know price per mile which they put at 20% cheaper again. It was only relative 20% cheaper than a comparable diesel truck It includes the cost of the they're not just talking about the truck They're talking about like the entire thing like buying it and operating it and maintenance. So maintenance is going to be a big reason why that number is lower Yeah, just gonna put that out there right now Another huge issues only goes 500 miles on one charge. The only there is probably not properly placed someone in chat said only Most trucking routes are able to be there and back within that time and truckers are mandated to take breaks That is a huge deal in I know North America. I don't know outside of that You have to take breaks and that is within the amount of distance that you would be able to reasonably travel within when your breaks easily Your break has to be half an hour during the break It can charge for 500 miles of further distance or 400 400 miles of further distance during that break and you be able to keep going That's not really a major point as long as they actually have the I think they're called supercharging station I think actually he dropped mega charger mega charger Yeah, mega charger sounds like it's gonna be like a separate kind of network I'm thinking that kind of the same way you drive by a card lock gas station. Oh, yeah. That's for semis Yeah, it's gonna be have to be like that wouldn't be surprised if it was kind of its own thing So a typical diesel truck can go a thousand miles on a full tank Do you know how long it takes to fill up that tank when you're saying it's I think he said 15 minutes No, no, I'm talking about like a like a normal diesel truck. Oh, take a while. I've known that puppy up I assume it would take a little while. It's going to take longer to charge this truck But one of his points was that you don't have to stand there the whole time. I guess It is definitely going to take longer to charge it But I don't think there's gonna be a bunch of truck drivers leaning against the truck while it sips electricity or gulps I guess electricity from the network From the network. He also talked about a guaranteed price for for semi trucks at seven cents per unit Would that be kilowatt? I don't remember exactly what they used. Is that also in here? That's not in the document either, but he did okay. He had a guaranteed price, which is a big deal Also, also a big deal in terms of getting financial support for trucks one big question that I haven't I'm sure okay I haven't seen anyone ask it, but I am absolutely certain someone has so and I haven't looked So that's kind of an issue that I haven't looked for it, but a big problem is going to be weight They didn't talk about it on the stream There's a lot of weighing stations for trucks because roads can only support a certain amount of weight and the batteries are going to weigh a lot I did see this yeah, I think naked it is going to be heavier than Yeah, then a naked normal diesel. I think that's going to be a big issue. There's weighing stations like all over the place They did not address that Did you see the cockpit design? Yeah, so it's 500 miles with 32.2 tons of cargo so at max capacity Is that the heaviest class? He a lot of the stats he gave out were for the heaviest class of truck like the speed and the the range and everything so the lack of engine might compensate for that yeah, but like if you look at the model s It's actually pretty heavy car Because the battery and all that other stuff you have to do more than look at it. You probably have to try to lift it Apparently way stations are for trailer load and balance not total load oh Okay, we have some really we just got everyone all kinds and now someone said way stations are for total weight Who knows I just it wasn't addressed in the stream, and it made me worry a little bit But this will be huge another big thing that they brought up was convoy mode This isn't the first time we've seen convoy mode. I've been in a car that was doing convoy mode before I've been in a convoy Convo But essentially the cost per mile or per kilometer goes down Drastically when you have these trucks in convoy mode I believe I don't think he went over it in exhaustive detail But I believe because they talk to each other and they can run really closely together drafting very efficiently, okay? So I didn't I didn't hear this from the stream last night, but it was in the article. I read today Okay, they said that in combo the reason convoy mode is so much cheaper in fact musk said it was cheaper than a rail Yes, because but he didn't show the rail number which you only need a driver in the front truck Okay, yes That's a thing is that they will they even showed it in the animation there was a person in the front truck There's no people okay once falling that was a very important note. That's crazy But is that so did they bake in the cost of the driver definitely they must have otherwise that doesn't matter So but I mean in the in the initial Tesla semi versus diesel semi comparison cost the dry I don't think so because in the second number when he said in convoy mode He was comparing those against the other ones not against train, and he said it was like 80 cents or something I would think at that at that comparison. I mean like it's a company They're gonna make their numbers look as good as they can I would assume that they'd be like yeah, but it's like you know Two-thirds cheaper because there's only one driver involved and that is that is a realistic consideration if you're Well yeah Mostly I think I wonder how they're going to accomplish this because Convoy mode makes sense for highways, which is what they showed it on it's like you get to a exactly You're not gonna be on a you're not gonna be able to convoy for the entire trip Yeah, you have to turn off and what do you do for the rest of the drivers? Well? They are getting their enhanced auto. I I miss this maybe twitch chat knows what's going on Enhanced autopilot there definitely yeah, and if this is like one to two years out. Maybe it'll be even better by then Then there's Elon did not Did not avoid talking about autopilot. He brought it up directly in the stream. He said that they would have all their most modern Yeah, that's true, but he didn't say that he may not have what they're saying doesn't address our question Of whether or not he said that about convoy mode. Oh Elon did say that they're all gonna get enhanced autopilot for sure yeah Well in the video there isn't drivers in the in the trucks behind the first one. Okay. I didn't notice that so yeah, that's good Yeah, it's it's it's gonna be interesting Does it have air brakes I oh? It has the he did talk about breaking a bit because it's not after it has the regenerative breaking So I was actually out of Tesla dealership the other day And I was asking if with the regenerative braking can you can you coast just as well as you can because? Me when I'm driving actually coast quite a bit yeah And he told me as a person who's never driven a Tesla He said actually you can't really coast worth a crap when the regenerative braking zone it slows you down like pretty fast Yeah, but the upside of that is he like barely ever have you break that which is what he said here He didn't say anything about about air brakes Would that even work I? Don't I don't have a very good understanding of how semi trucks work But I don't think it would work Anyways, what about that roadster though the roadster yeah, I guess we can move on at the end of the whole semi truck thing It was kind of like a one more thing moment Yeah, and they popped open the hatch and a new Tesla Roadster Drove out of the back of the trailer that the semi truck was towing can do 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds It can do 0 to 100 and I believe 4.9. I don't see that on here I didn't see that, but I actually I do have a list of Linked a Wikipedia of the fastest 0 second speeds and I was like oh I wonder if they like killed some records from other like super expensive cars Well, they kind of just beat their own record. Yeah Yeah, yeah It's awesome It can go 620 miles or a thousand kilometers on a single charge He was happy because they broke the thousand kilometer ceiling, which is pretty cool and it seats for production So yeah, it's a two plus two production starts in 2020 The first 1000 cars will cost two hundred and fifty grand each paid in full upfront Whoo later cars starting at two underground. So presumably the first thousand they're gonna sell They're the trick out ones. Yeah. Yeah, which makes a lot of sense. I love this quote. Elon said His stuttering is removed from this quote Come on Come on, he said the point of doing this is just to give a hardcore Smackdown to gasoline cars driving a gasoline sports car is gonna feel like a steam engine with a side of quiche That's wicked. That was pretty funny We'll just take the voice crack out of when people quote yours Harsh okay, I deserve some harshness. I love you on I was yeah, I was just kidding He speaks that way because he uses particular language He's very careful about his words Anyways, moving on to someone in the chat guessed it Sponsors maybe thank you very much.

I love how every once in a while The words just come out Everyone gets it Alright Firefox Might as well move on to it Yeah you should open up the source number 2 Because we can check it out on the screen And there's lots to see I need to find it The Firefox Hardware Survey Which uses telemetry supplied by the browser To assess what hardware participants are using Has revealed some surprising Statistics related to GPU Market share Yeah so we can not see right here Because this is in the way but I'm just going to move us Turns out More people maybe For graphics we've got AMD at 15% We've got Intel at 65% So that's the built in graphics on your CPU That they're talking about, integrated graphics NVIDIA 14% That's 1% behind AMD what the heck What What a surprise, I mean this isn't just People in the world This is Firefox users Who filled out the survey Wait did anyone actively fill this out Is it just... Firefox Hardware Report You have to like opt into supplying data Or whatever right So it's possible there's a selection bias where AMD people are just the type of people Who opt into this stuff Doesn't seem likely to me but it's possible I don't think that's necessarily what's going on I have a main Theory for this Firefox right now Is the like, this is the Ethical choice of browsers This is the underdog browser This is the browser that not the mainstream Uses You can rebel and bri this Browser, or use this browser It's similar arguments To don't use the big mainstream Scary guy thing That a lot of the AMD guys are making And I think it might make sense that there are more of them On this platform, regardless Even if that is true This is still super cool Definitely, this is good People for some reason are comparing this to Uses or stats that we had From Steam's hardware survey TPCS is coming in with the sassy Luke, where have you been This has been the case With Firefox for years So yeah apparently that might Actually be more true Of a statement than I'd even expected Yeah, I guess Indirectly. He doesn't know Yeah, no one actually Knows. Yes, that's true I don't think anyone actually really Knows, but I wouldn't be surprised If that is at least part of it For some reason people are saying that This is like super at odds with the Steam hardware survey, the latest iteration Of which came out in October, where The GPU market share for Nvidia was Over 80% and AMD was only 10, and Intel integrated graphics Was only like 7.5 It's pretty obvious why these numbers are so vastly different Selection bias being You're someone who has Steam Installed, so you're a gamer So you're less likely to have integrated graphics And if you're going to have a gaming Type of GPU, it's Likely going to be Nvidia Surprise, surprise, most people on the internet don't have a gaming PC Probably using laptops Even that just don't have any form Of dedicated graphics And it's all integrated on chips and you can't even add one Or they're using older Like best buy PCs That were just like home PCs that don't have graphics cards Even though it's like obviously A weird comparison to make I can see why it's being made because Those Steam hardware stats get Cited a lot, particularly in Displays, like the fact that Only 4% of Steam players have 4K monitors, like that Stack is thrown around all the time When people are talking about how prevalent 4K monitors really are So, okay Steam stats are popular But they just really don't have any relevance here Yeah, it doesn't matter for this Specific use case, and there's a lot Of cheaper laptops I don't know if necessarily right now, but at least when I worked in Retail that sold with AMD Graphics So it was, I actually probably Sold more laptops at that point In time that had AMD graphics because It was more affordable So more people were buying them from my store I didn't own the store But the store that I worked at Can we see that page again? Because it had more than just GPUs on there Yeah, that was an interesting part too So it has quite a few Different things, it even has operating system Which I find fascinating, Windows 7 Was at 46%, which is Wow, what? Actually pretty crazy Windows 10 is only 34% Back against credence to your theory then This is a certain type of person uses Firefox Which intensely resisted upgrading To Windows 10 I love Windows 7 I stayed on Windows 7 for a long time But the only reason why I moved off of it Was because of the constant super Aggressive annoying pressure from Windows 10 So I moved to a Windows 8.1 Embedded copy I'm still on 98 and sick Solitaire all day That's pretty cool After that we've got 1% of users on Windows XP Guys, come on Update Man, what are you doing? Oh 8% of people on Windows 8.1 Represent That's me You think there's a sliver for Vista in there? Mac OS 5% Other 6%, there's your Vista There's a few people on Vista Speaking of Firefox users These people are going to be pretty Pumped because Firefox Quantum Is out now Have you used this yet? I have used it, I'm actually loving it Really? I was thinking about taking it for a spin It's good So I've seen people having issues I have not personally Had any issues I know there's some things where people like Certain specific add-ons that aren't quite on Quantum yet Some people don't like How certain parts of the browser Aren't customizable Let's talk about the core Value proposition of this browser According to Mozilla Firefox Quantum is over twice as fast As the Firefox from just 6 months ago Built on a completely Overhauled core engine And boasting a stylish new design Dubbed Photon UI Which streamlines a number of elements included in previous releases So I'm not going to lie This marketing Ticked a lot of people off And for reasons that I Understand Do they show it here? Somewhere They showed like 2 times faster And then they show a comparison Of Firefox Quantum Versus the most recent version of Chrome So people don't realize that They were talking about a previous version Of Firefox Okay Because they show 2 times faster In big bold text And then directly beside it a comparison of Quantum versus Chrome Right, when they're meaning 2 times faster than The previous version of Firefox They do say Quantum is faster to load A number of popular websites Than Chrome is Including Wikipedia, Bing, no one cares Tumblr and Shutterstock No one cares Firefox uses around 30% less memory than Chrome Edge and Safari on Windows So there's Some things going on here That I did appreciate is that in their own Testing, in their own video showing Load time comparisons between Quantum And Chrome It shows Quantum winning quite often Not by 2 times And someone in the chat says in fairness In the comparison video it shows fairly equivalent Speeds, if I remember correctly Quantum wins usually And I'm sure they cherry picked sites to a certain Degree But I know at least one point in time The Chrome browser did beat the Quantum And they included it in their own video I thought that was pretty cool So it was a weird like, we're gonna show ourselves Losing, and at the same time We're gonna do super misleading marketing So it was like What So like if anyone actually watched The video at all They would have known something was up But yeah, it's been a delight to use it so far I think it looks great It's run great for me And the whole load plane runs on it Beautifully Just wanna put that out there Linus Tech Tips writer Anthony Young chimed in Virtually saying Firefox users may also be More likely to be running APUs Yeah, so if we wanna jump back Slightly to that topic This was 6 minutes ago That he sent me that We can look at the processor Section which is shown to you guys good Intel is at 88% AMD is at 12% I don't know what the Steam Hardware Survey For that is, but I wouldn't be surprised if on the Steam Hardware Survey Intel was even higher You think? Yeah There were so many years where AMD wasn't putting out a new CPU, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah So I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised But it's not like AMD is crushing the processor side of things Back to the quantum thing I was like, I should actually Just check this out, because I used to use Firefox Like forever Until Chrome came out in 2008 I just wanted to check it out and I liked the design Haven't used Firefox since, I was like I should go back to my roots here But then I had the thought, well it'll be like 2 weeks Until Chrome is better again, they'll make a new They'll just make a new version, it'll be better I like using Firefox and it is Very fast It's fast to the point where When using the previous, they said 6 months ago, it's 2 times Faster than 6 months ago, it was notably slower And now it's not notably Slower, it's fast enough that I click on a site And it just loads But here's something that made me reconsider, I saw a quote from I'm not sure if it was a CEO, but Someone at Mozilla who was like My biggest fear is that people Just won't try it I just want people to try it And I read that and I was kind of tugging my heartstrings a bit I was like, you know what man? For you? I'll try it I didn't yet But I think I want to I'm gonna check it out Sure, but in a lot of my older videos I used to wear, I have a couple Two different shirts One of them just has the Firefox logo on it And another one says I'm protecting the world's largest resource And on the back It talks about Firefox I kind of support them a little bit I even have a little Firefox plushy thing, because I used to be like When I actually programmed things I used to be a big fan of Firefox I stopped using it because it was Directly interfering with my Day to day work Because Firefox was crashing so often Or was slow And all these other issues And I excitedly But with a lot of fear Installed Quantum Because I was like, I really don't want this to fail me again They are making a lot of strong claims I'm gonna give it a shot And I gave it a strong shot I installed all my different add-ons I used it, made it look exactly the way I wanted it to And then dove deeply in I have it on my work computer, I have it on my home computer And now you're fully entangled It's on my phone, it's great Anybody get that joke? It was a Quantum joke Oh, that is good That is good Speaking of, I really hope that in the near future These companies stop using Q or Quantum in their branding Because there's gonna come a point where there are Actual products with actual Quantum capabilities And we need to be able to differentiate that Yes That is actually I immediately thought about that when I saw the name I was like, is it actually? Yeah, we're getting on the cusp, right? In what way? I thought it might be some super wacko Experimental thing that they were working on And then I was like, oh, it's just their new browser That actually was a little bit confusing So yeah, I hear you on that one But, yeah I don't know, I think it's cool having a browser that actually Isn't made by a company That aggressively profits off of Harvesting every single thing that you do in your entire life That's weird You know? Like, I don't know Kind of down with the Firefox a little bit So we've been doing this for long enough, but do you want to do a couple more? I mean, I'm down We have been doing this long enough, what do you want to do? Ah, there's so many exciting ones Okay, there's some rapid fire ones Apple HomePod The big speaker, it's kind of a Smart speaker from Apple Delayed Missing out on the holiday season This brings joy to my heart Actually I'm actually kind of a Anti-fanboy with Apple, I do respect Apple And I think a lot of their products are Pretty objectively sick They're sweet, but on the other hand Sometimes I like a little win I like win It's not that I don't like Apple It's like a satisfying stab I don't like Apple fanboys So I'm like a counter force to that Oh stop, get out of here You're talking about the ad, not me, right? Yes, yes, yes So, full disclosure HomePod is not Is a small part Of Apple's revenue In the other services, or in the other section Why do you hate Apple so much? I don't hate Apple, I hate Apple fanboys Apple's pretty dope Android fanboys? I hate all fanboys I like objective people So you want Apple to hurt Because you dislike the people That like Apple No, I don't want Apple to hurt, I want Apple fanboys to hurt So you're hoping this doesn't really hurt their bottom line But you're also like You don't get your thing for Christmas Yeah, it won't hurt their bottom line Because this is one of their other products And they get the majority of their revenue From the iPhones and their services So that's going to be minuscule anyway But it actually could hurt them in the future Because right now These smart speakers and Home implementations Are really starting to gain traction Especially since Google Home Mini is out now There's a bazillion different types of Amazon Echoes I think they're going to be a pretty significant Gift this holiday season For Apple to miss that That hurts I think mainstream My grandfather and my mom Have one That's not like Me forcing it on them Use this to support your son or grandson This is like, I got one for my grandpa I believe he got one for my mom And they both like actively Use it all the time Everyone has everything these days What are you going to get someone for Christmas So this is totally a thing Except the HomePod won't be Google's answer to the HomePod Which is the Google Home Max Looks very similar Has similar sound Like speaker focusing Capabilities It will be on sale this holiday season And this is just so bad For Apple because Even though Siri is the oldest virtual assistant It is quite clearly the worst And they just need Any opportunity they can get Using Cortana Or are you only classifying the two Cortana is that bad I was thinking of Bixby as well Bixby is actually pretty dope Really? As a general assistant it's probably on the level of Siri But it has these extra capabilities That we use in our showcase video That let you navigate Through apps like Open this app and go to settings and change this setting Go to my home screen and swipe right You can't even do that with the assistant yet Until you can because it's super sweet to be able to do that Cortana I don't know I've actually seen videos on YouTube Of people using Cortana to do these Kick ass things in Excel Which I would love to Program macros by voice using Cortana It just can't be bothered Because it seems like such an Upfront cost But anyway Apple needs any opportunity they can get To try to catch up in this space And they're just not getting it And eventually I think it's going to be the end I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything Positive about Cortana Although that Excel thing does sound cool But I haven't had it work in any form In any other way so there's that Or Bixby I haven't personally used Bixby but yeesh That dedicated button is Rough Well I mean I didn't say it's perfect I'm just saying Like Siri is just pretty weak Yes yeah Watching Linus try to use Siri To call someone While we were driving for lunch was hilarious Oh no It just couldn't It just couldn't do it It was actually hilariously bad Google Assistant is not perfect either I'm disappointed you know what Bixby can do that Assistant doesn't seem to be able to do is chain commands Like on Bixby I can say Siri can't do that Because Google Assistant can My Google Home Even though I can say The command and say turn on my TV And tell it to play a certain video on YouTube I can't say turn on the TV And play the latest Vsauce video on YouTube It'll say I don't know how to do that But if I say There was one I did yesterday Bixby can't do that either Well but Bixby can change commands It can do things like Go to Instagram And post my third Latest photo with the Caption blah blah blah Is that one long command though? Yeah, you can say Go to the settings and open And go to display settings and change the screen timeout To 10 minutes Yeah, okay Which is cool But there was a command I issued yesterday To my Google Assistant that I It was two commands and I put them this way And it said I don't know how to do that And then I rephrased it the same commands in a different order And then I did it Like I wonder if that's part of it I play specific songs With it Within like it has to open an app And then find the specific song and what not all the time Which is two different steps Well Open Google Play Music and play whatever song That's actually one because you can't say Open Google Play Music Yeah, I believe I can I know that I can't say Hey, open YouTube On Google Home I can't say open YouTube on the TV I can't say open YouTube can play Linus Tech Tips on the TV Yeah, but then I don't Personally, this is what we should probably move on But I don't personally think that's a huge point Because Bixby isn't in a home device, is it? Not that I know of Yeah, so I don't know Anyways Amazon Echo is coming to Canada Linus will be so stoked We can finally start reviewing them and stuff Do you know that story? We got an Echo Oh, you tried? I tried it on the TV I brought it home on a weekend and stuff The interface, this is borked I did tech support calls and all this junk And it's like, yeah, you're just not supposed to be using that Same thing happening here With mine, it was like you can't use it at all It wouldn't even allow itself to set up So I VPNed my router So when it connected to the Wi-Fi, I thought it was in America And I was like, okay, cool Hi Linus says hi They're going to be all salty that you're not here now I know that I'm on the WAN show even though you're in the building What does it mean? Linus is quitting video Someone in the chat said Linus is fired He's just going to drive his multiple Tesla roadsters from now on That he drives around in his Tesla semi truck What were we talking about? We were talking about Amazon Right, yeah, so we got one for review I had to VPN my router to even freaking make the thing work at all And then it couldn't do almost anything And then it was like, I'm going to do this And then it was like, I'm going to do this And then it was like, I'm going to do this And then it couldn't do almost anything Because, I mean Canada And it doesn't know any of the stuff up here And I was just like, oh, okay And then we sent it to a person I'm not going to say who Who was in America to do a review on it And like write the The notes for the review for us And then we never heard from them again And now it's gone Well it's here now And apparently it's going to speak Canadian English with a Canadian English accent So Eastern then? I guess? No, I don't, it's going to say a boot Like, I don't know What's the difference? What's it going to say? Yeah, open that A It's going to say sorry instead of sorry It's not going to say like, I don't know That's weird I guess someone in the chat said Zed That makes sense It's mostly that we pronounce O's And they pronounce O's like A's a lot Like I'm sorry And what's another one I've been noticing? Sorry, yeah But anyway, it won't speak French Yet I don't care Neither do I Because I don't speak French Apparently 20% of our population does Like as their main language It'll be coming I bet you more than 25% of our population can speak French I bet you 20% Of our population speaks French as their main language No, it's less than that actually Really? I didn't put it in the notes but I read it earlier But this isn't actually the first country I thought we would be maybe the second country That Echo was in, but we're not They went to India a month ago and Japan Last week, and presumably it's not English And India and Japan So, get on it French Come on There's going to be some deals too, the Echo is going to be 99 Canadian pesos instead of Regular 130 The Echo Dot is going to be 50 bucks instead of 70 And the Echo Plus is going to be 170 instead of 200 Dare ya be That's what it's going to say You issued a command It's going to execute the command and say Dare ya be, dare ya by If you tell it like I'm going to go hike Mount Everest It'll be like, good luck big shoots I've never even heard that one Really?
