Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is here fr fr on God

Support for the show comes from retool. Too many companies run critical operations on duct taped spreadsheets, slack workflows, and whatever else they could cobble together, not because they want to, but because building internal tools means weeks of waiting on someone else's backlog. That's where retool comes in. Build custom internal tools just by describing what you need, prompt something like, build me a revenue dashboard on our Salesforce data, and retool actually builds it on your company's data in your cloud with Enterprise Security built in. So go to retool.com slash waveform. We all need to retool how we build software. All right, real quick, before we get back to the show, I want to let you know that we are returning to South by Southwest on March 13th this year for another live episode of the waveform podcast on the box media podcast stage. Last year we had a ton of fun building some really smart questions from the audience. And a couple dumb ones. Okay, yeah, okay, maybe one dumb one, but I think that actually came from David. Either way, it was a lot of fun and we're excited to do it again. It's all part of the box media podcast stage at South by Southwest presented by Odo. Visit voxmedia.com slash SXSW to pre-register and get 15% off your South by badge purchase. So that's voxmedia.com slash SXSW. Topsy there. You can now adjust the intensity which HDR content displays. Woo. There's a slider now. So it'll show you like the brightness that the HDR content comes through. Drag it all the way up. Marquez. I'm dragging it all the way up to what it was. I want it, I want to be scrolling with low brightness. And I want to see your picture on Instagram and just, oh, Marquez wants that flash bang. It is bad. I want that impactful media. I just want to turn it all off. Turn it all the way. I hate HDR. Yeah, what is up people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform podcast. We're host, I'm Marquez. I'm Andrew. And it's your birthday. Oh, nice. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Today is as of the day of recording my birthday, my 30 second birthday. And what's your listening age by the way? Yeah, I will get to that. My Spotify rap seems to agree. Yeah, so in this episode, we have kind of a lot actually to go through. A bunch of stuff for some reason all happened this week in the first half of the week. Very convenient for us to talk about on the pod. Galaxy Z trifold for real for real this time. Tums of Android features. YouTube also finally did the thing. You know what I'm talking about. YouTube, we won. Yeah. Actually, yeah, I miss it. I miss it. And also we're going to wrap it up with our Waveform creators wrap to see how many of you continue to listen to us. So that's what we're going to do. K-pop. Yes. I also had K-pop on my Spotify rap. So in case you missed it. All right, K-pop demon hunters. Well, it is your birthday. And we thought we'd open this episode with Adam. Could you grab this? We got you a little present. Yeah. We know it's hard to get something for the manual as everything. But last week, you told us there is something you didn't really understand. So we thought it would be a perfect time to get you that thing and see if you can live the magic of. Live the magic. And then we'd also be curious as the greatest tech reviewer on earth, the greatest product reviewer on earth. We would curse if you could give a brief, like a instant stream of unboxing reviews. This must be a little bit. This can you please explain it for the audio listeners? Well, I just think you'd have the ability to make it crystal clear what a Lubu Boo is for everyone else. Wow. Wait a minute, surprise. Do a hands-on review. All right, I'll unbox this. Oh. I'll unwrap this. And it is, in fact, I'm pretty sure this is a Lubu Boo. Does it say Lubu Boo anywhere? Is that a nickname? It doesn't say Lubu Boo on it. Oh, it doesn't. I've also never witnessed this happen. It says it's, well, it says, did you get a knockoff hells? No, I did not get a, did not get a Lafufu. Well, is, what is Lubu Boo? Is that like what people call it as a, no, it's the real name. That is, in fact, a Lubu Boo. It doesn't say it anywhere. I think people already know what it is. It says exciting macaron, the monsters, vinyl face, pop mart, it doesn't say Lubu Boo anywhere. But here's a box. It's a, it's a colorful box. It's got a plastic necklace. What? I'm going to see. So it's a blind box so you can get any of those ones on the side. It's an extremely rare one, right? We all know he's going to pull it. In this series, the extremely rare one is a one out of 12 secret. The rest of them are one out of six. Got it. So there's six. Six of them on the side and then one secret one. That's a one out of 12. Okay. So it's exactly twice as rare or half as common. About 12. I will open it. No, that's not, it ruins Cape Drup right. That's fantastic. It's in a bag now. How do you also, it does not say Lubu Boo, it says exciting macaron. I'm actually starting to wonder why people call these with Lubu Boo. I thought they had like a tear thing on the inside. This has like a sticker on the top that feels like it's not covered with already. I went to the pop-mark store in World Trade and purchased this. Smells kind of artificial. Smelt it. It smells kind of like a carpet. It's a secret one. So this is beige. I'm going to go based on colors. I believe there's a card in the bag that tells you what in the blind bag. Oh my God, it's perfectly. It's pretty cute. Okay, this card. This is very like Patagonia jacket colored. Yeah. Bage. I got Toffee. It says. Oh, okay. So one of the middle normal rarity ones. Toffee is, I think it's that's the color too. So it's a little furry character with, it has like regular hands and feet and face, but then the rest is completely covered by fur. It's got a key chain on the top. So you could pitch your keys on this. Oh, shit. Are you going to do that for the rest of the day? We would be very hurt if you wouldn't. Yeah, if you don't, please. I actually don't carry any keys with me. So I will not have any keys to put on this, but it is a nice little key chain, I will say. And it says the monsters on it. So at no point anywhere does anything say the blue. I'm also good. Exciting macaron thing is that that's this one's like a series, right? Okay. Oh, yeah, but there are no macarons. What I believe all of the colors are references to macaron color or flavors, perhaps I don't know. They just macaron colors. Toffee. Oh, yeah, toffee. Yeah, yeah. I think audio listeners love that section. Yeah. I cannot say I understand any of the hype, but it is a pretty neat looking character. How's the build quality? Yeah. So it's kind of like a bobblehead. It feels like I could rip the head off. I don't want to. I'm not going to, but it kind of doesn't it feel, isn't it look like I could look at that? It has. So I guess it's pretty malleable. I'm just saying. I think that's good build quality that they're confident enough in a dead-end deck. Can I feel it? Yeah. Here you can try it. I prefer things. Yeah. Happy birthday. I know you love your presence so much and we'll never get rid of it. Thank you. Yeah, you guys know me. You know, it's funny. On the tag, if they have a little area to cut it. Yes. Yeah. You should cut it off because it takes up like a lot of the space. You'll lose resale value in that. Honestly, you know, build quality. Is it resale value? Something I should be thinking about with sauce. No, I really opened it. This is just a normal mass produced product that everyone can buy. Yeah, I can find the resale value. Okay. There's no way. It's high. This is soft. How much actually is a, is a, is a Labouboo or whatever it is? It depends on our rate. It depends on our rate. It's about $30 on this. Whoa. You're spent. That's why it's, this why it's, I think I'm a corporate card purchase. Oh, what? It was for the podcast. We forgot it was your birthday. Which maybe makes this worse, but we wanted to do it just for the pod and then it happened to land on your birthday. Research, research. Yeah. There was a mint green human size Labouboo that sold for $170,000 mint green, but that's like a one of one human sized one. Yeah. I feel like these are just regular stuffed animals. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but they're collectible. Yeah. With like a unique face that is, like remember the trolls? And Gambley. Do you remember the trolls? Yeah. For a long, weird hair. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Everything is the same. I agree. I'm gonna nice. Whoa. We live in a certain, a certain curated tag. A perforated, nice. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. That Toffee sells on eBay for slightly more than it was paid for in the blind box. So how easy was it for you to walk in and buy this in the blind box? That easy. I walked into the store and grabbed one of the blind boxes and took it to the register. And I'm like, are we past the major hype for these? The hardest part? The hardest part of the whole thing was that the corporate card does not have a tap chip. And I had to actually physically insert it. I just believe we, I don't know. We're necessarily past the hype as much as every single thing is a recession indicator. Yeah. But there were more than four blind boxes available for purchase in the NYC Oculus hot market store. Yeah. Yeah. Nice perforated box, nice perforated tag. Good build quality. Good rig. I have no idea how much you spent, but without looking at the receipts on the corporate card, I'm gonna, that's what I was gonna, yes, $30. Yeah, it was, I think before tax, it was like 28 and after tax, it was like 31. Would you describe that as an experience worth $31? I can tell that this is not about the physical product at all because it's not impressive at all. It's definitely more about the social plug-in and like relating to other people who got one and like the Pokemon card opening type of experience. It's like not really about the thing. Yeah. It's more about the stuff around the thing. Yeah, the aura, the aura. Are you farming right now? This thing is for sure. Yeah. We've blessed this episode with Lububu or... Yeah. To everyone that begged me to buy Mark has a Lububu after last week's episode, you know who you are. Yep. You're welcome. You made this happen. Well, happy birthday. Thank you. I have another birthday gift for you. Oh. That is a segue. It's more dystopian bull. Nice. Okay, so this is actually what you ask for. This is actually a birthday gift for Ellis. Okay, Ellis. I know how much you love AI overview. I know that... When I said that that Lububu sold for $170,000 at auction, it was an AI overview answer. It might be AI. I'm not sure. But because I know how much you love AI overview, I've got a really fun new headline for you, which is in the Google Discover feed on some phones, when you know the thing where you swipe over to the left, notably my friend actually liked the articles that were being served to her because they were about chimpanzees. They are now experimenting with using AI to replace the headlines with like four word headlines. And it's going about as well as you would expect. This sounds like when Apple tried to summarize notifications and it just went horrible. Yes. Yes. So here are some of the summarized headlines. PC gamer, boulders gate three players exploit children. Hmm. Hmm. Now what the article is about. Do you know what the article was about? No. And like if I type that in about that. I think I found the article. I think I did. It's about how boulders gate three players have discovered that since kids are not killable in the game, they can control an army of them to make the game very easy. But they're virtual children. All right. Maybe not that far off. Extremely far off. Virtual children. Very far off. Very different from real children. All right. Here's another one. Cheeto slows older pixels. I have no idea what that can be about. That can't use Cheeto. Yeah. Older pixels. That Cheeto is. Oh. Yeah. Cheeto is on the newest pixel. Not the older pixels. From the verge, Microsoft developers using AI. Nice. To be fair, that does narrow down. I should click this article. Our technical steam machine price revealed. It was not. I used to. Well, no, it was not actually revealed. I know. That's correct. PC gamer, schedule one farming backup. Probably a farming simulator had line of some sort. It's this like crazy game where you're like a, you like grow drugs and sell drugs in this town. You can experiment with it and feed it to the people around the town and they get vomit on the streets. Is this crazy game that for a month had a ton of things? Like the sims. So there must have been not the sims quite, but yeah, it's like drugs, drug dealers simulator pretty much. I'm getting flashbacks to sim city. And actually one of my favorite games of all time that I almost guarantee none of you played, which is called Sid Meyers. Sim golf. Sim golf. Sim golf. And you could build a golf course and a business around that golf course and you had to lay it out. You bought a plot of land. This is the most smart guy's game. Yeah, you bought a plot of land and you had to buy a plot based on how hilly it was or flat it was and how malleable how rocky or whatever and they start building and it costs certain amount. You start off with a three-hole golf course, a little pitch of putt and you destroy things and you add new holes and you build a nine-hole course and an 18-hole course. You build a whole business out of it until you have, I mean, you build a golfer as well, got and the soundtrack to this game was so good. This is the ideal Marquez video game. Yeah, I put a lot of hours into that game. Yeah, I remember it. Dang. Wow. Incredible. Good times. Well, anyway, last one from PC games and AI tag and debate heats. Because they're just trying to use like as few words as possible. I feel like the funniest thing about AI stuff is they're like, we're going to pull all this stuff from articles that we didn't write into AI overviews and stuff and give terrible credit towards it. And now they're like, do you know what else we could do better than them, even though they're doing all of it in the first place? Rename their headlines. Dude. Everyone online, we are people like this. It's like a title is extremely important. I think the people writing these articles know how important the titles are and that some garbage black box LLM is going to do it better than Google forced this industry to be developed like Google forced the SEO industry. There are conferences. There are expos that people go to to talk about search engine optimization and now Google is like, we don't care that you did that. We're just going to like randomly mess with it now. Yeah. That is another my favorite feature. Yeah. I never worked at a tech company. I don't really understand how things go on in there, but it just sort of feels like someone woke up some morning, some like VP middle manager type person. I was just like, man, I haven't given anyone any new ideas in like a month. I got it. I got to think I got it. Well, hey, the headlines. Yeah. I know we've already made all the videos. It's an images slop. Yeah. Let's make the headlines slop. Now, anyway, the verge did reach out to Google about this and their official statement was, we are testing a new design that changes the placement of existing headlines to make topics easier to digest before they explore links from across the web. I want articles to be harder to digest by just the title. Literally. And I want you to have to click it and go into it. The more you do is you're flat. The more you flatten an idea, the more it's going to be misinformation spread across it. It's one of the best things Twitter has ever done, which was the. Please read this before you read it. Yeah. Before you retweet it, it's like, are you sure you want to? Because you could still read the article. That's it. It's one of my biggest gripes about AI overview. Just in Google is I can read it and be like, okay, that is exactly what I'm looking for. I just want to double check it because it's an AI overview. And then you click the link and then it shows like three articles that I possibly pulled that from. I just want to be like, I just want which one? Where did this quote come from? Yeah. This would actually be helpful because it is right, some of the times. And when it's, I just want to make sure it's right because I will never take it at face value. Yeah. And it makes that part really hard. I think it's frustration. Well, hopefully people will hate this as much as I do and they will not end up shipping this full time because it's just an experiment right now. How long until this comes to YouTube and we don't have to think about titles anymore? That would hit so much harder for me because like I, it's the packaging is part of the product. And that's like a generic statement about like every industry and every product, but also with articles like the headline and the opening, like in the newspaper, this is true. But outline articles, the packaging is a part of the product. And for us videos, the thumbnail and the title, even though you can A, B tested or whatever, it's still very true that the packaging is a part of the product. It leads you in. The thumbnail sometimes is the opening scene of the video, things like that. For AI to just gobble that up and summarize it. Like we've seen that go poorly so many times. Yeah. That works well. I think for people listening to us or even maybe an R shoe sometimes, it's, it feels like it hits harder for if they took this to YouTube because it's so much easier. It'll be personal on seeing a face, but like we probably know some of the people that wrote these articles. This is like nine to five Google. This is a verge. You just put an article on the verge. Like this could have been yours up there. That's true. That's what I'm doing. Yeah. We know people at nine to five Google and then Andrew everywhere. And like these are actual people that think the same way we do. It's just a written form and you don't see their face. You guys are stuck in the past, man. You're stuck in the past. But don't you realize that all Google's doing, they're lowering the barrier to entry show? It's like, what if you really want to be a journalist, but like you're really bad at writing and you don't want to learn how to write. Now you can just have the AI do it for you. What if you want to review a phone, but you just don't have the phone. It's like AI. I can just see how the funds doing online. Get with the times guys. Yeah. Like you should be able to do anything without trying to give Google money in the process. There was a part of my brain that was like trying to reason with like the old skill that we had growing up was we wanted to find information on the internet. So we had to learn how to Google something and like a language and SEO language. And not only that, then like how to navigate the top couple of links to figure out like which sources you trust and like how to gather the information to find the answer. And over time that became like the established thing that we all had to learn. And now there's kids growing up where they're going to Google something and they have to have a totally different mindset about how to find the right answer to their question, which is going to involve like a lot of times looking at an AI overview and then like clicking all the links that it references and the kids aren't going to gather that together. I don't know. Like I want them to also have some sort of process that they can trust to find reliable answers to questions on the internet. And it's definitely going to be different today versus how we grew up 10 years ago. But yeah, there just doesn't seem like it's better. Well Google wants is they want to make an answer engine, not a search engine. Right. They want you to be able to just type a natural language question into a box and it just tells you that you don't have to go to a website. You just want to be like the answer to everything in one little which is fine. But then let me go one level deeper. But it's not like if you know, if I go Google like, okay Samsung trifold, I don't mind them taking the top 10 articles summarizing it and being like, this is a thing that happened. But I should be able to click that and see all the actual articles. Like give me the answer. Sure. But then when I click it, just pop up. But I just think like the lowest common denominator is people generally are not going to go to those articles. You are because you grew up in an era of skepticism. It's kind of like commoditizing surface level knowledge. So it lets you like speed run the beginning of learning about something into the middle. Like at the beginning of like, let's say we know nothing about what we know nothing about. Limers, whatever. Like the boo booze, right? Yeah. So first, the first four or five Googles of me trying to figure out what the boo booze are in 2003 were like, what is the word mean? Where do they come from? And like figuring all the stuff and like going to Wikipedia and reading a bunch of stuff. Now the first four to five Googles is just giving me an AI answer where I just go, what is a little boo boo and in case of the OAI overview? And then I Google, why are this a popular and it gives me an AI overview? And then I just read the first three or four and now I've just speed runed all of the stuff. So like probably very useful understanding to just getting the high level. And to Google, that's a success for them because they keep you googling and that's great. Well, that's true. Yeah, that's true and everything that they're making. I mean, even with anti-gravity with the coding stuff, it's like, yeah, you speed run, learn how to code. Yeah, you're understanding the very, very high level things of like, oh, I need a Google Maps API key. It told me that, but it did it for me. I don't know how to implement it. I just knew I needed it or how it did it or why it did it or what it means to do that again or improve upon it. You just know that you did it. Right. Tough. Not great. Not better. Not fantastic. Definitely not better. Well, man, you sounded old on your birthday. I know. Oh, these kids. I just think, I just knew a title, Old Man yells at Client. I feel like Old Man yelling at Client, but I do think there is something. Yeah, the cloud literally. But I just want to throw it out there without getting too late. Yeah, without getting too late. It's just like, you know, there's all this talk in the United States about how about China's censored internet. You know what I mean? And how crazy it is that you can't Google certain things or certain information is just unavailable to you in certain countries, you know? And you know, when we live in the world where there's just an answer machine and there's no transparency as to where it gets its answers from, that's the same thing. That's exactly the same thing. All of a sudden, you could be like, what's Google plus? And Google could be like, there's those things, Google plus. We've never done anything that stupid, you know? And then there'd be no way to fact check that. And that's just. We do ask it for sources. Like when they sort of start to put the, they sprinkle the links in now for what. You're being clear that right now, there are sources in all of this. And it also is the top of a Google search where you can scroll past it. And all of the normal links. Yeah. But also eventually all of these companies do want what David's describing, like a text bot that does not take you to any other places. I'm just making sure we all right now that is not the situation we're in. And yeah, it's where we're going. That's where we're heading. It's the direction we're pointing. It doesn't really have to go all the way. It's definitely the direction we're pointing. No, but that's like we've already seen it with Grocapedia. You know, that's literally the entire point of Grocapedia. I don't take Groc seriously in the lease. I know. I found that you have to click the little icons and it shows you all the articles. The little little tiny little tiny little tiny, but yeah, sure remember. Yeah. No, that one's the thing I don't like about on browser is it's like, I wish it just brought me to the exact article, but it's usually when you click it, I'm clicking it at the end of a sentence, which probably should be just a sentence from an article. And then it shows me like three articles. So now I have to go back and find it in there. It should direct me to the sentence and the article. I feel like and that would actually make it useful because then in one minute it can be truer false and I can confirm and it did. And I actually and so does AI overviews. If you click on AI, I'm talking about AI over it. It has the link and then it shows me three articles by the sentence and then I have to go find it. It should just show me the article that brought me to it. In Gemini, when it shows you sources on the side, if you click one of the sources, it automatically brings you to the part that highlights it too for it to check the information from it. I wonder if we are in different stages of AI over because my AI overviews do that too. Like when I click on the little chain, it'll take me to the exact sentence in the article it's not the same thing with that. Yeah, I might just did that as well. I like it. I'm trying to. It's still wrong all at most of the time, but. Yeah, I just Googled Sid Meier's golf release date and the AI overview is correct. And then I click on it and it says it's pulling from Wikipedia and the fandom. Oh, and it is correct. And it's correct. Yeah, that's good. Wikipedia is correct. That was easy for them. That's true. Well, I looked up the milliamp hour battery life of a phone that I'm going to ask you about a trivial later and it linked to the Wikipedia thing and it just made up a number. It linked to the Wikipedia, right? No, no. The Wikipedia number was right, but the number it gave me an AI overview despite linking and highlighting the number of Wikipedia was a different number. Nice. All right. Well, I have something positive to talk about. Have you ever wanted to consume YouTube shorts, TikTok and Instagram reels at the exact same time with three different scrolls happening in three different rates? Do I have a phone for you? You ever wanted to watch Quibi to be N Phoebe at the same time? Bring back Quibi to early. To Alexy Z. Tri-Fold. We've finally got an announcement. We were waiting for this. They were saying by December, they technically did it December 1st. Yeah. So to be clear, we got some information. Yeah. We didn't get a price yet. No. But we got to see the device. Oh, we did. Korean price. Okay. And we got to see the device in action. There's a couple of YouTube videos out about it now and some specs and we can see how it folds. So there's the single display and then there's the unfolding the inside for the triple display. And then there's the unfolds. Audio listeners. Okay. So picture, picture, one of those pamphlets, one of those tri-fold pamphlets where you have like a left or right in the middle and just go ahead and fold the left and the right over each other. So you have a single column. That single column is a six and a half inch screen, single screen setup. And then you open both at the same time and you have a 10 inch tablet on the inside. Kind of. Two screen version because there's only a single or a try, but it's like one of those pamphlets, you know, like a map, like a big menu, like a map or a map. Yeah, like a map. First, I'm thinking of like the souvenir shop and like they have like a, like a, like a brochure. A brochure. Thank you. Yeah. That's what I'm picturing. This should call it the same size as a brochure. Yeah. So try. So this phone will have a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which is the last chance. Not the 8 Elite Gen 5, but Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. It will be like I said, six and a half inches on the front 1080p 120 hertz AMOLED. It will be 10 inches 16 by 11 120 hertz, 2160 by 1584, which feels low resolution. A little low, a little low, but I think that will work hand in hand with its 5600 milliamp hour total battery, which is not huge. It's a 10 inch screen. So I think having less pixels will be better for battery life. It's spoiled. Triple cameras, you have a 200 megapixel main camera. Seems like a flagship camera haven't tested it myself yet, but that's a good sign. Also a 12 megapixel ultra wide and a 10 megapixel 3x telephoto, which to which a lot of people replied to my tweet, how will a 10 megapixel 3x telephoto be better than punching in on the 200 megapixel primary camera? To which I replied, I don't know. Optics, the optics and the lens of the 3x telephoto could make it feel better than the crop on the primary. The photo sites are much larger on a 10 megapixel. Yeah, so maybe in lower light, it will be better. So we'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Ironically, because usually the telephoto is the worst at low light. Exactly. Titanium hinge, aluminum body, IP48 rating, and all the way unfolded, it's all the way down to 3.9 millimeters, which is the thinnest Samsung phone they've ever made, even thinner than the Fold 7. I don't know if you realize how thin three millimeters is. When we talk about the thinnest phones that we've seen so far, we're in the range of five to six millimeters, and those are, that's like iPhone Air, that's a S25 Edge. Those are five millimeter phones. 3.9 millimeters is crazy thin. I haven't held this yet. That's true. But watching the video, it seems crazy and to fit like meaningful compute and battery and storage and all that in this phone is genuinely impressive. Well, it's funny though, because then when it's folded, it's apparently stupid thick. So this doesn't even feel like a normal phone. Yeah, exactly. Folding this thing up is going to be its weak point. It's going to feel like a chunk, like a 12, 13 millimeter thick phone, which you guys probably haven't used the phone that thick in many years. But unfolded is kind of the point. Big chunk, right. Unfolded. Yeah, it's 4.2, the Fold 7 was 4.2. So it's slightly thinner than the Fold 7. Yeah, which is crazy. So first iPhone was 11.6 millimeters thick. Yeah, this is thick. This is thicker than that. Yeah, thicker than that. It does do 45 watt wired charging, which is kind of surprising for something that thin. I'm curious about the heat dissipation. Yeah, what kind of heat dissipation will kind of... What kind of... Yeah. 3 millimeters thick, you can't have very much. Yeah. 309 grams, it's very heavy. The Z Fold 7 was 215, so just add another third to that as you would. Everything kind of steps up in thirds, right? 200 something grams for the dual screen. The battery capacity did not quite step up on this. True, true, true. Yeah, price did. It's true. So what was the price? So okay, people are expecting this to cost $2,800. That's about the conversion rate from the Korean price, which is a $3,000 phone. But think about it, you have a 10 inch tablet in your pocket now. It's true. Yeah, I know. iPad and the iPhone. But then you'd have to carry an iPad that you can't fold up and an iPhone. What if you can do that in an iPad? Macbook. What they need next is they need to make some sort of like Omega Thin keyboard and mouse. Because the whole point for me for this is that I can just have a little laptop in my pocket at all times. Interesting. Like a 10 inch laptop. Yeah. You can use obviously a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with it. And it has decks. I would like to see your decks, Adam. Yeah, no, Adamson. Adamson. And I have this huge screen. So I plug it into a bigger screen. No, but can I fold it so that two of the screens are a screen and a third screen is no. The Huawei can do that, but I can't do that. I know. But it does have a really interesting form of decks. So there's the traditional decks where you plug it into a monitor and then you can use it as a second display. And it's like a 10 inch second display. That's pretty big. But it also has a on device decks mode where you enable decks mode. And it becomes basically like the tablet where everything else apps become windowed. So you can just like throw apps around instead of it, you know, taking up the full screen. They're all windowed. So it's sort of like what happens when you attach a pixel to a display and it becomes like the Android on computer type thing. But it's just on your phone as a little tablet. Other cool thing. Like app groups with it now. So you can make it so two to three windows always open up at the same time in certain orientations. So if you're always like working on Google Docs on one and then you've got YouTube on another and you've got another thing on another, you can pin that to your taskbar. And when you click it, it opens all of them at once in the same positions, which is very cool. Adam is wearing on the inside. Yeah, I don't look at it. Yeah, there was. Another who's the boss video that went out about this that was like probably the first video that went out, I think maybe him and SuperSap put the same video at the same time. Aaron said that it the inner glass is so soft that he leaned it against a vase, which I don't know kind of vase he was looking at. But it's it produced very deep gouges in the screen and by leaning it against a base. Yeah, I mean, that like soft screen where like, I mean, we've seen fingernails and that kind of stuff produce like dense. So I guess wait a phone plus leaning on a thing for a shot I'm guessing is, but like deep gouges. Yeah, that's I mean, like, yeah, red flag. It's kind of spooky. It kind of gives me galaxy fold one vibe. I was thinking the same thing. Like this is a super, super limited thing. This is two YouTubers who got to hand, like play with it hands on in Korea and that was it. And it'll slowly start to show up later. I'm sure. But there's the type of thing where it's so expensive and it's so limited that they probably aren't going to have the masses really approaching this thing. And they can kind of handle the crazy crisis stories better than maybe the first fold, which was everyone getting excited and then a bunch of YouTubers trying it and then a bunch of people breaking it. Yeah. We think it's any different from the fold screen. Like why would the material have to different? It is different. I think because of why both folds and folds in I guess the same direction. It's holding out. I mean, it's like still only on a hundred degrees full. But it doesn't matter. I think it does. I think the key to like when, so we saw this with a razor, right? So they had this like little piece of the chin where when you unfold it, it would try it a little bit more screen out because when it folds, it like pulls it up. And when you unfold it, it stretches it over that crease. But that's why would that make a difference in what the material is rather than just how much room it has to move? The razor is just, it gave itself more room to do that. So all these phones have some level of stretching over the crease to flatten it out. I'm saying when you have two creases, you have to stretch it twice as much. And so you probably need to do to accomplish that in the same amount of room. You have to make it softer. Yeah. So it's more total, more malleable. Yeah. Not just that, but like the, when you, like when you fold the screen, you're applying tension. Like because the screen is being stretched out, right? That tension is then dissipated over the entire rest of the screen. It's not like there's like a hard wall where the screen is clamped somewhere and the rest of the screen is not under tension, but right next to the crease. So when you have two creases, there's now way less room for that tension to dissipate. You're applying all of that force into a much smaller area. Yeah. Well, I went to music school. I don't know if I believe that. It's just, I'm a picture because the first fold, the issue that they mostly dealt with was that, that layer that they put on top of the soft glass was like not close enough to the edge and people would pull it off. Well, yeah, we should pull it off. But like that, they have to put that on top because that is harder. And when you have that fold, unfold, that hard layer on top is essentially eliminating the crease. Like we've seen some get really close to having no crease now. But I just feel like this one, I mean, if you've seen the video, there's a ton of crease in these. Yeah. Inherently not as hard because it has to stretch twice instead of once. Yeah. Intuitively makes sense in my brand. I can't really explain it very well, but I guess that's TBD on how durable it's actually is. I'm picking up what you're putting down. Cool. Perfect. Maybe it's because you're 32. Maybe that's why. It's also IP48 is kind of crazy. It's not. Yeah, it's not great. It can, it can withstand one millimeter or larger particles. Yeah. I'm not expecting much. I'm all worried about that. But the eight is full submersion, no? Like one meter or something? Yeah. Yeah. I can dunk this underwater. I mean, that's more about the seals. They know the dust will break it before it goes into water. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. It's funny because I'd be more worried about larger particles because dude, you don't see my pockets. I mean, like, fold generally. I don't know what goes on in there. I wouldn't want to be in there. I feel like fold generally, the issue is not that it's getting inside, but that it's getting inside when it folds. So now you fold it once and you have a particle in it. And now you fold it again and smash the particle in even more. So now every piece that's inside your screen gets closed twice. And if it's on the second one, so it's either getting in between two screens and fold it again or one side folds in and then it's between a screen and a hard piece, which means it's not getting absorbed by both sides. It's only getting absorbed by the screen side. For those that don't remember, the Galaxy Fold 1, the screens were breaking immediately and they had to do a little recall before they actually sold the devices and then they put a screen protector on it or whatever. I don't know, man. I feel like they would have learned their lesson by now, so I'm going to look at this with optimism. But I tweeted this phone. It feels sketchy to me. I definitely does. I ended my tweet with like, you know what? Shout out to Samsung for being insane enough to try this. Because they don't have to try this while they did try it. Try it. Got it. But yeah, they are crazy enough. Thanks. One thing I thought was cool was so in order to fold it, unfold it, the screen that as the camera is actually a little bit wider than the other two screens. So it creates kind of a lip. So as you're holding in your hand, you can press your thumb down on that lip to then pop out the first fold open. And then when that happens through a magnet, the interior screen kind of opens up a little bit, which gives you then a little bit to pull it open. Isn't the front screen that has the lip? No, it's the back screen. It was the back screen. So you can kind of like hold it open. Yeah. And then that part pops up a little. Yeah. I thought that was a neat way of doing that because if you're just digging your fingernails into it to open it up. That's what I was thinking too. It's probably not great. Yeah. So it comes with a case. And the case has a little kickstand on it. Back to the kickstand phones. Thank God we back. That's nice because you're going to be able to use a mouse and keyboard with it. It also comes with a 45 watt charger at least where it's on sale right now. G2. I don't think it has G2. It does have wireless charging, but it's 15 watt so I don't think it's G2. So it's coming on in Korea earlier, but it is launching in the US in Q1 of 2026. Pretty incredible. I'm going to work to try to get my hands on this thing. I'm very curious about it. The Huawei Mate XT was a fascinating phone, but at no point would I buy one or recommend one to anyone. We can't run it. Yeah, but even just as a hardware concept, it was kind of insane. This is Samsung. It's going to really launch and really go on sale. Real people are going to be able to buy it. So I'm just curious to see how this goes. I'm going to try and see what kind of usability it actually kind of wheels for people. It is ironic that the Huawei Mate XT actually folded like a Z. And this is called the Z trifold, but this folds like a U. Like a G. Like a G. When it's fully folded. Yeah, it's true. Like a G. Yeah. Like a G6. Seven. Jesus. Don't do this. No. You're joking. We have to go to break. We have to go to break. Guys, we... The life of a meme. Every year we inch closer and closer. The hell. To crumple phone. A. Not wrong. Can I share something someone sent on Discord about the trifold that was funny? This guy, Elliott, on our Discord said, Samsung trifold and boxes are out. I showed my grandma a video and she said, I'm getting better at spotting AI. That one was pretty obvious. To which I say that's a crudeose grandma. It is. I'm glad you're looking for it. I'd rather you err on that side. Yes. I would say that the AI is probably more prominent for more people than foldable phones are. Oh, yeah. So it would make sense that she had just never seen a foldable phone. I'd rather her live not knowing there's folding phones and be very wary of AI. Although remember that granny in the airport that I saw with the foldable phone? That's true. Do you think this granny knows more about the Appalachian Pro or the Steam Deck? I can ask. I'll ask. He'll probably listen in this episode. Probably neither, man. There's probably a Vision Pro on the store she bought the phone in. Did she go in there? Did she just have her daughter buy it for her? I think people go to stores in U.S. A granny though? Yeah. Do granny's love dinosaurs? That's true. Dinosaurs? Stores. No, the dinosaur experience that comes with the only thing the Vision Pro does. Oh. Wow, most exciting product of the year, huh? That's why I said it was the Steam Deck. And still more than the Steam Deck. I'm standing on it. Oh, yeah. That was obvious. Anyone who disagreed with us? Chat GPD was the correct answer. It was the most boring answer we were thinking of physically. Yeah. All right. Well, we got a lot more to talk about soon. We were going to put it in this section, but I feel like we should move it to the next section. So maybe let's throw it to trivia. And then we got a ton of Android features to talk about after that. Let's do it. So please don't leave. Pretension. Guys. About me. How did you know? That's just a shot in the dark. No, I'm just kidding. I'm going to be seconds in a day. Five. Guys. I'm going to be about a thousand things to do. What's that from? The office. No. It's from, it's a song. It's a song. It's either rent. Oh, rent. Or rent. Or rent. No, it's rent. Yeah. In the Heights. A few weeks ago, I asked if you wanted to do a question about socks or batteries and you guys went with socks. And today, I'm going to finally get around to asking my dope-ass battery question. I was hoping for socks. What was the sock question? It was about which socks are the cheapest or the most expensive. Oh, yeah. And it wasn't the iPhone sock or was it, I don't remember. Either way, guys, the new OnePlus 15, a fan favorite around the office. I guess that doesn't make it a fan favorite, a favorite, a regular favorite, regular little favorite. Mark has his favorite. Mark has his favorite. It has crazy battery life. Everyone knows this. But you know what does not have crazy battery life? Oh, this is iPhone 12 mini. My iPhone 12 mini. How many times larger in milliamp hours is the OnePlus 15's battery than my iPhone 12 is? Are we going decimal? Yes. And we're going to do delta. Okay. How many times do I need? So you are encouraged to get as specific with decimal points as possible because it will be a lot more likely. And I'm going to add something here. No calculators. Well, yeah. We're doing long division today, boys. In your head. You can do long division on the whiteboard. I have no idea how to divide these numbers. Make the house. Make the house, bro. There's a house. You don't square roots over here. You guys rich or something? I can't. You guys long for these. You guys need to go back to second grade. What were you born in 1948? It's been 20 years since I'm manually divided. You know what? Honestly, real quick. Let's do a mini rapid fire trivia round. Which of the following is the answer to a division problem? The dividend, the divisor, or the quotient? The quotient. I knew that. I knew that. The dividend. I didn't understand. Divinant divisor. Divinant divisor. Newer-rater, denominator. He's cooking. He's cooking. The quotient is the answer. Wait. Okay. We had a question a couple of weeks ago and I was like, Mark, he's going to know what the difference is. And now you're here. What is the difference between an ocean and a sea? Can we talk about this on the podcast? Yeah. A sea? Was that what he was gone? Yeah, he was gone that week. A sea. I don't know. I was like, Mark, he has to know the answer is because normal. I don't know if there's a formal difference. Oh, there is. I know that a lake isn't enclosed body of water and that an ocean is not enclosed. I mean, it's closed. But a sea is that different from an ocean? I actually don't know. It is. All right. Well, we'll think about that and we'll either learn something new or we'll figure out the answers are. Answers be at the end, like usual. We'll be right back. So, for this show comes from Monarch.

The big question is if there is going to be a next strong man in Iran, what kind of strong man will that person likely be? I don't think that there's going to be another powerful cleric, supreme leader. I'm John Feiner and I'm Jake Sullivan and we're the hosts of The Long Game, a weekly national security podcast. This week we sit down with Kareem Sajapur to discuss what to expect in this next phase of the war against Iran. The episodes out now search for and follow The Long Game wherever you get your podcasts. All right, welcome back. We got a bunch of new Android drops. At Canon A nowhere, they are trying to make Android drops much more frequent so that there's big platformer like instead of big platformer releases where it's like Android 16 and Android 17. There's just big new feature drops that come out through Android. And kind of out of nowhere, I believe it's yesterday as of time recording maybe two days ago. We got a lot of new features. So we're just going to run through a lot of them. Some of them are Android wide and some of them are pixel drops. So it's kind of those like, oh, this is on pixel only maybe for now, maybe forever, but probably just for now kind of like air drop, kind of like air drop until it's only for only 15 years. So let's just go through this. Circle the search scam detection, upgrade to circle the search. Now you can circle a scam or what you think might be a scam, which Adam's mom apparently needs. And it's so useful. It'll bring up a little thing that will guide you through why it may or may not be a scam. It references it against all known scams. And then it'll tell you, oh, yeah, this is a common scam that does this blah, blah, blah, you know, so this is great if it works. Yes. Because imagine you circle to search an actual scam, but it's so new that it's not referenced yet for sure. It tells you it's not a scam. My other concern is that the people that will make the most benefit of this is the people that are not good at knowing what a scam is on their phone. And that demographic probably also doesn't know to use circle to search. But they probably have a nephew that can be like, hey, real quick, just circle to search by doing this one two step. And it'll tell you I will say that I just did circle to search on the message that my mom sent me the screenshot of the obvious scam. And it said, if you were not expecting this message or do not have a paid cloud subscription, it is likely a scam. So it does do it. Also, like people search scams all the time. I got a letter in the mail the other day that looked superficial to where like it had three perforations where you tear it kind of like that usually means like check or since open immediately. Yeah. And it was sensitive. The funny thing was that initially got me is there was clearly a placeholder text in one part that it didn't change because I think it was supposed to know who my lender was. And it just said like lender in bold when it just didn't replace it. But anyways, yeah. Search the exact thing and just in Google's a million search results of like letter same exact amount, same exact font. So like people search these. So it has the database to be able to find a lot of you know, you can't circle search a letter. But I'm sure plenty of that happens. You can use Gemini live. Yeah. I think it's huge. If it works Facebook about to be real sad that all their scam things on Facebook aren't going to sell it. Allegedly, allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah. Allegedly. Yeah, because that many people are going to use circles or I don't know about that. They watch them make it so circles of search can't work inside of Facebook. Oh my God. Yes. I want to these are first of all, these are the Android wide features for the phones that have these capabilities. emoji kitchen is getting new expanded sticker combinations. Not useful. Wow. But fun. Very different people. I love emoji kitchen. It is fantastic. You can make monkeys hug each other on a emoji kitchen. That's the easy choice. Cool. But I'm saying not useful. All right. Call reason. This is interesting. You can now mark a call as urgent so that when the other person is getting the phone call, it will say it's urgent on the call. So that is useful because sometimes people call me while I'm busy and I'm like, I'm not going to answer right now. It did say urgent. I would pick up and be like, I can't wait to call LOS at 3 o'clock in the morning with an urgent tag and he goes, what? I'll be like, you know nothing about C's. Very interesting. So the caller. Just the speaker, the caller marks their own call as urgent. Yeah. So that the receiver sees an urgent tag. Yeah. It'll have a little tag on it. This is urgent. I think it has to be Android to Android. Bye. Then you can circle to search the call screen. Yeah. Is urgent the only tag? I would so much rather have one that says not urgent. So when I call my mom and she doesn't pick up when she sees that later, parents have to assume the worst about every single phone call. So that can just be like, yes. Just wanted to. Lane just wanted to say hi. Like you don't have to stop everything you're doing to call me back. Well, I saw something online that was like, I mean, if you're calling me instead of texting me, it's probably urgent. Yeah. There is that. They did call it call reason and not like urgent call. So I'm wondering if they're planning on potentially adding more reasons later. Like did you pick up the groceries? I don't know. I just find it just in text. I guess it's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I thought this was going to be just because this happened to me recently as I got a phone call from a number I didn't know. But rather than say probably spam, it just said potentially medical because it was a new doctor I'd went to calling me back. That I didn't have there. I've seen it before. Well, wait, that's actually really useful. I never pick up calls that I don't know the number two. And since it didn't populate, I was like, oh, this is probably who I think it is. Right. Right. There's a new safety check feature in Google messages. So if you've ever been added to a group chat in Google, which you can now get added to in like Google messages, which is like, usually it's like a Bitcoin group chat, like a thousand people in it. This happens in WhatsApp all the time. This is why WhatsApp is not very good. I've never happened to me, but okay. Well, telegram though. I never get. Telegram. Every other two days. Do you pay that I pay for it? Anyway, okay. So now if you get added to one of these spam group chats, it will identify that and it will immediately have a little pop up that's like, do you want to leave and report this immediately? So it just assumes that you can sort of identify when things are kind of spam spam group chats, which is nice. Chrome on Android is now getting pinned tabs. So if you're a big Chrome on Android person, you can now constantly have certain tabs that are always at the top of your tab groups. That's actually nice. I like that. They're now expressive captions across videos. So when you're like watching captions on like YouTube or something, it will be like joyfully and then it'll put the caption, which is interesting. And they're like colored and it's trying to like help you understand the energy that's coming from the speaker. Sarcasm in videos is going to get way funnier because it's going to be like sarcastically or just like it not understanding it. It's going to be like joyfully but like Mark has to say something super sarcastic about like a new feature on an iPhone. Yeah. So that's coming to YouTube across all devices like immediately, which is cool. The guided frame feature, which is sort of the people with disabilities who cannot really like have trouble using their phone camera and it speaks out to them and says like where to move it so that they can center on the thing. That's getting a lot better. You can now tell Gemini to make changes while you are voice typing. So you can type out a message and if you decide you wanted to change something, you say, actually change the part that says this to this and it'll do that. Wow. Wow. I would never expect that's the type of thing that I would like see my parents do and I would be like, you can't, that doesn't work. It doesn't and then just starts typing with starts typing what they were saying. But the fact it'll actually do that now. Do you have to be kind of awesome? Stop. Like so you write the whole, you speak the whole message out. Yeah. You have to then stop and then say change this part or not completely sure. I think you can do it. I think you can do it fluidly. Yes. So can I be able to identify when you're saying certain things? Hey Mark, guys, I'm going to be a little late to work. Oh, wait a minute. I'm going to be really late to work. It will do that mid sentence and not just the whole thing. I thought it already did that. Maybe I don't. I'm textal specifically because the text speech is really good. The text speech is really good but I haven't had, I haven't been able to go back and edit parts of what I've already typed. I think it's specific like key phrases that will trigger it like that. Like what you said, and it would actually do that. Actually, actually, actually, it'll go back in a minute. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty awesome. There's now a better voice dictation that lets you edit certain words or shorten messages automatically. And then there are also better parental controls that make it easier to be apparent, I suppose. Boo. Boo. Boo. Lane. 32. Okay. We're adults. Which all of those are coming to all Android devices. Yeah, that's like the platform wide. And then there's Android 16 QPR to Pixel of Drop. There's too many acronyms. Okay. Actually useful notification summaries. So now, let's see about that. Yeah, right. I'll be the judge. So this is like a more thoughtful version of Apple's notification summaries. If you either have a very long message or you have a notification from a group chat, it will summarize it. But then you can click the little drop-down menu and it'll just show you the whole thing. It'll also show you the messages from the group chat in the little drop-down thing, or it'll show you the whole message. But overall, it'll just summarize it if it's a super long message or if it's a group chat. So this is do all notifications. It's just per app. It's in group messages. Yeah, it's in messages. Okay. There's going to hurt so much more when you get broken up with over text message and it's a really long thoughtful thing. And then Google's just like, chain into you. Well, there's that famous, because you know how I message will do the animations when you say certain words. There's like a famous screenshot where someone says, congrats you through our entire relationship for a guy. And it's not the streamers. Yeah. On Samsung, it's like the wacky waving like inflatable arm guy. Tough luck. Okay. There is notification organizer. So now your notifications get separated into categories, which is so useful. So now it'll be like news. It'll be like, it'll be like offers that kind of stuff. So you just, I love that. I think that's amazing. Where is this in your notification shade? So they're just turning into like Gmail kind of the old inbox. Yeah. Yeah. Sort of like pre made. You can kind of think about it in a similar way. Okay. Your notifications are just your inbox or your whole phone. Yeah. Basically. Yeah. Yeah. Which is different types of stuff. And it'll silence lower priority ones so that you don't have to deal with like random little offers and stuff like that, which is nice. They now have custom icon shapes. So you don't have to just be circles anymore. You can be like little wegered X thing. You can be like squircle. Yeah. Just different. There's like a triangle one. Like a one that's like flat on the bottom, but then like a half circle on the top. Very strange. They're kind of just, you know, they're just, they're leaning into the material you kind of a lot of other long to have this too. So just like one more customization for your home. Yeah. Yeah. Expanded themed icons. So before it was like you would, you would theme all the icons, but there would be of course like one or two apps that didn't support it and it looked horrible. Now they truly will force it on every single app. So it will work for every single app. Are you are we sure the amount of times I've heard this will for sure work. That's what it does work. But I will say it doesn't work in the drawer. The drawer is still just the regular. Yeah. Which is, I'm a little, I'm more okay with that. But yeah. Yeah. There will be one icon that does not work. So well, do Lingo famously changes its icon all the time. Really? It does have like it did work on do Lingo. So if it worked on do Lingo, I would imagine it works on everything. Yeah. We did it. We're here. There's now an option to force dark mode on every app as well. So apps that don't have a dark mode, it'll basically just like invert the white colors to black. But it does it in a like spart dynamic way. You know what happened to me recently? I saw a screenshot on Twitter of Spotify light mode and I went, wait a minute. I've never seen Spotify light mode and I actually went into Spotify and started digging through settings. Is there actually a light mode in settings? And I found that there is not somebody just inverted Spotify. Oh. And it kind of looks decent. I'm sure Al-Mart looks weird, but yeah, there is no light modes for Spotify. Interesting. Yeah. I'm interested in this one because without that, I already have this issue where sometimes on my pixel, it decides that, so like the notification bar on the top that has my time and battery percentage, it won't invert that correctly with the mode of the app that I have open. So let's say I have YouTube open and it's got a white background. It won't change the time and battery to now invert to black. So now it's just fading into it. I should do this other day. Or sometimes, yeah, like it's supposed to be black text and I have a dark mode thing. And I just lose my battery percentage. Yeah. Because it disappears. Yeah, and I'll close the app and open it back up and that'll fix it. But like I have very little faith in this. If it's already screwing up that normally. Yeah. Yeah. There's kind of just a lot of features that they announced a long time ago with there. Like, I swear it works now. On God for real. On God for real. No cap, no cap. No cap. You have expanded split screen options to like have multiple apps up in and now you can like drag one to like show the amount that you want the app to be open. There's even a 90 10 split. So you can have an app open 10% and then have the other app open 90%. It's like a sliver on the top of the day. Yeah. You got your little app ticker. 90% waveform podcast, 10% homework notes. You should really be studying. Wow. Exactly. So that feels like they are putting it in it to prepare for more foldable stuff to be honest. Just to be able to be more more valuable in that way. One of the biggest changes, which Adam actually posted about on threads, you can now know, no, no, no, no, he posted about this in the Slack. You can now adjust the intensity, which HDR content displays. Woo. There's a slider now. So it will show you like the brightness that the HDR content comes through. Drag it all the way up. Marquez. I'm dragging it all the way. That's what it was. I want it. I want to be scrolling with low brightness. And I want to see your picture on Instagram and just, oh, Marquez wants that flash bang. It is bad. I want that impactful media. I just want to turn it all off. Turn it all the way. I hate HDR. And then I wrote, think f***, the lid that. Okay. There is a new remove toggle when you're removing apps from your home screens. Now you don't have to like click and drag to the little like X in the top or bottom or whatever. When you like, when you press on it, there's just a little remove like like option. Lots of other lunches have that already also. Yeah, it's faster. Yeah. Wait, no, just dragging it to this trash is faster. I don't think so because you have to like long press it and then drag it. That's always been faster for me because there's always like five little, there's like uninstall view info and then the short, whatever shortcuts there are. So it's a calendar event. And it'd be like, if it's, if you long press on the calendar icon, it'll show new event, view calendar, uninstall, close, remove and I have to find remove every single time. So I just found that just highlighting them, just dragging them to the trash is faster. Adam, do you have this yet? Yeah, it's awesome. It's just like not smart lunch. Is there a chance you could accidentally press remove? Can you show? Yeah. It's to find it. You long press the icon and it just pops up like one of the little options there. It's just remove. So that's, yeah, a bunch of other, yeah, a bunch of other things where I'm going to love that. But when my mom tells me like Facebook is off my phone is like, you probably accidentally long press and hit remove. Oh my god. I have to find remove. It's the top. It's the first one. So place every time like in Instagram, it was, it's the top this time. Change. There is a new quick adding of app shortcuts in that. This is awesome. Yeah. So Adam, you want to explain that since you have an iPhone? Yes. I have this already and this is basically the same little gesture if you just like long press something. Certain apps have like quick functions you can do. Like for example, do a lingo if I long press will just say do you want to open do lingo or do you want to jump straight into a lesson? So instead of always clicking do lingo, always clicking to my most recent lesson, I can do one of these app shortcuts and just hit do a lesson and it pops up as like a little shortcut on my like home screen. So I can remove the actual do lingo app and just have that there. So I can just go straight into a lesson every time. That's nice. There's a bunch of other apps that like I also have similar things like a YouTube. You can jump straight into shorts if you want for some reason. You can jump into subscriptions. Wow. Of course they would ask. I know that sure. I know. But yeah, there's like a not all apps have this. I think it needs to be like implemented. Yeah. But like the WNBA app, I just have it straight up to give me the schedule just like the games showing the next games. That's it. I don't need to go in through looking through the whole map. Yeah. It's pretty cool. That's nice. If Instagram has a shortcut to go straight to Reels, we just brought back IGTV. This is essentially what it was. Yeah. Yeah. It was a separate app. Just to really. Okay. There's a new widgets view. So if you remember, Android only decided to care about widgets again after Apple started doing widgets stuff but better because they had an updated them since like 2012. Now there's a very rich widget showcase that has two little options. There is a featured tab and there is a, I wrote it down here. Where is it? Yeah. Featured tab. Oh, sorry. There's a featured tab and there is a browse tab. The featured tab will show like the richest, most fun, most interesting widgets that it assumes you want to use. And then the browse will just like kind of showcase all the widgets. What's nice about it is that it's rich so it shows them all sort of moving and doing the things that they do instead of the old version of adding widgets where it was just like you have to select from a number and you didn't really know what they looked like and all this stuff. Yeah. It's much better now. Quick share now allows you to do the tap thing that you can do on iPhones where you tap your phones together. So if you have quick share on, you can tap to connect to another work phone. Do you think that would work with an iPhone? No. Oh, just do you think it does like a cool animation? No. Really? It doesn't. I saw someone demo it. It doesn't do an animation. How have I never realized that like the tap to share things kind of like two phones dab in each other up or like send me your contact info? Yeah. It works to me. A lot of these features. This is the first time we've seen Google do Android stuff that iOS had already implemented and not the other way around. No, no. It's this has happened many times. They sell for each other. Okay. I thought it was always Apple just copied it. It was at the beginning. Okay. And then they would innovate and then Android was like, this is almost Google copying other launches. Yeah. They're making a pixel launcher just like straight up. They're sure locking other. Yeah. Just like you wanted this. Here it is. I added glance widget. That'd be great. Oh my God. Yeah. How is that not? I would return all of these just to remove adeglance on my home screen. Oh my gosh. It's insane. What is adeglance? It's a mistake. Okay. Oh God. Here's what it is. But Ellis, this is why it's insane. It takes up a part of your home screen and can be a bunch of small little notifications or the weather or time. You can turn it off, but it keeps it there. Just it doesn't give you the notifications. You can never take it off of your home screen. It's permanent real estate. And it's just like a date. And then it just goes like the date and time which I already have in the corner and I have my clock widget that I like. Clock widget is almost unnecessary with that. But I still prefer a bigger clock. But that means I also have to have adeglance. Is there it? If there's something I can't wait to be on killed by Google.com. It's mad. Switch it. Okay. There are expanded by a metrics option. So you can select apps that you want to force to use like face detection for phones that support face their version of face ID, which is not usually not IR. But you can force it to have additional security through face unlock, which is helpful. And then a little small thing. There's now a time zone changed notification that you can enable. So if you live in the European Union, you love trains and you're not sure as you know as you do. And you're not sure if your phone has updated the time zone yet, which is important for when you're setting calendar appointments and you're doing all that kind of stuff. You can now make it so your phone will give you a notification saying the time zone changed to this time zone. That's sick. Yeah. I immediately thought of a short where you go on the line of a time zone difference and you jump back and forth between it and see how the notifications are getting. That's another one of those things. That's like oceans and seas. Like when am I actually in the other time zone? Like I know there's a time zone line on a map. But is it really like a two foot difference between time zones? There's no way like I can step to feet over time zone. Time is on real markers. I mean, I know that. I think I'm talking to Arizona. We know. I'm developing this too much as like that one spot in Arizona where you can jump it to work for. Yeah. Which is super cool. I just wonder like day. I know whenever I whenever I land at an airport in a new time zone and I take my phone off airplane mode, it takes like 10 seconds on it like goes, oh, you're on a new time zone. And it just changes the clock. Nothing happens. So it's like cool that it'll tell me I'm in a new time zone. But I do wonder where exactly does that switch over? Yeah. There's got to be a little I want to know. I kind of want to know what do you mean? It's just the state lines. Yeah, but is it the US? It's the state line. So if I because when I'm driving on a road and I see the wall, but to New York sign, that's not the exact state line. It's often like 10% has two later. If there's no people in a place, it doesn't matter what I'm multiple. Yeah. Multiple states have it. It's not the state line. But there's a there's a time zone line. Let's say in Ohio, right? Michigan. Michigan's the farthest one. All right. So if I live on one side of the line and I drive my car to the next town over on the other side of the line, my phone will switch. Yeah. At what moment is my phone triggered to switch? Is it when my GPS coordinates are exactly one meter past an exact line, which is somewhere? I would imagine so. And then can I just ping back and forth over that line by like two yards and switch my time zone back and forth? This is used as a map. I think it will. I would imagine so. Yeah. I just want to check. I don't think it's a state line. Real estate. Which is confusing. There's states in multiple time zones. Many. According to this map, there's many. And this is not an AI overview. Yeah. But it's funny because I didn't think it then you said that it was like that would make the most sense. Yes. Like because it's weird to be in the same state on multiple lines. Time zones in general don't make sense. Tom Scott has a great video about this. It's like I've got a sex. That's all you have to tell me and I agree. I just would like to. This is like this is something I would do for YouTube short as just go to the line with my phone and just walk across the line and see what's confusing. The also else is it looks like sometimes it uses a state line. Yeah. And sometimes does it. That's wrong. It seems like Texas. Kansas. Brutal. For more than that reason. Sorry. I'm about to talk about times. I should. I was right. Michigan is the far. I mean unless you count that little sliver of Indiana. It is a little sliver of Indiana. Yeah. But that's why Michigan is so fun in the summer because it's so far west that the sun doesn't set until like nine or 10 p.m. That's nice. That's awesome. It's so fun. Wow. I just got really in Michigan that you do on time zones. Yeah. A couple months ago. Anyway. Detroit. That's really funny is I talk all this smack about Detroit which then gets cut from the podcast. I really hope. Safari. My Safari like when I open Safari the default background is Cade Cunningham. So play off Cade. All right. That was a basketball reference. Caves are really good right now. Yeah. Chris Paul too. Too soon. Too soon. That's the age really poorly of something crazy comes out in the next two years. Anyway. Okay. Anyway. Okay. Anyway. Time zone change. Not gonna be nice. Time zone change on Android. Biggest feature. That's about it for that. So if you got a pixel or you're on Android exciting times it's kind of I'm kind of jealous. I've been on iOS for a little bit now and I'm pretty jealous that they just get like random featured. I will say it has been very nice being on Android this time around. Yeah. Every year I jump back and forth and I stand by it that iOS I think has better apps. But Android as an operating system is so fun. Dude. It's so much more fun. Liquid. That's what I'm gonna ask is so bad. It's so bad and like and material three expressive horrible name is great. Like material P expressive. I got it. It was on print. Yeah. That's a great. Well, that's good. Material lemon cello. Right. I love in cello. Do you want to talk about YouTube recaps? Why don't we make after the next ad break? Okay. All are recaps. All the recaps. Okay. Yeah. We're gonna wrap it up related to last week. Last week we talked about how DJI or maybe it was two weeks ago. I don't know. It was either the last week of the week before I don't know what time zone I was in. So we talked about how DJI might get banned from the United States before the end of the year because of this. They have to do a security clearance thing that they're probably not gonna do because they're lazy. And if that happens, that would be weird because the Osmo pocket four, which for those that don't know, the Osmo pocket is probably DJI's most popular product for creators. It's this little tiny thing that's basically a smartphone sensor, but I don't know why people buy it, but they like it. It's pretty good. It's good. It's popular. The pocket four just passed the FCC, which is the Federal Communications Commission in the United States. It was just certified by the FCC, which means it is, it's launch is usually quite imminent after things passed the FCC, like within like a month or two. They're gonna be banned within three weeks. So the options here are like they passed the FCC, but they just never sell in the US or they pass as the FCC and it sold for two weeks. If it passes the FCC, would they revert it? Because once it's banned, everything, everything they make period is banned. They can't import any devices into the United States after that. So unless they did the Nintendo Switch 2 thing where they just fly as many pictures as possible. And then they're like, they're like, this just got approved. Everyone's scramble ship is made to the US as possible and just storm somewhere. So that when they get banned, we get at least profit from selling the ones that we made it over the line before the door closed. It is possible. That's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. So it's kind of like a, will they won't take kind of thing? Or we'll just go to Canada. Buy one from Best Buy in Canada. Oh, true. Yeah, I guess we could do that. Yeah. Anyway, okay. So trivia and then we're going to recap our years through various data tracking algorithms. And we're going to like it. But first, I have to correct myself. One, Andrew, thank you for pointing out that I do not know how time zones work. No one does. Totally like the type of thing. I've realized I know way less about time zones than time. Time.gov is a really cool website I found. I love it. The second correction is earlier I said in between 30% of Metas profits come from scams. And allegedly, I was wrong about that. The Reuters article claims that meta internal documents say that 10% of their profits come from scams out. What is Arizona? I think there's so much better than everybody else. Arizona, Arizona, now standard time. Come on, y'all. Come on, guys. But also we kind of wrote jealous a little bit. I'm pretty jealous. Very jealous. They just have to deal with this bullsh**. Basically, daylight savings. Question number two. So we just spent most of that segment talking about all the new Android features in the QPR2 release, right? Yeah, yeah. What does that stand for? I have an idea, but I'm not sure. Zero. I forgot. I did know this like a couple months ago and I just don't remember anymore at all. It's totally escaped me, which means I'm going to guess. And then our slash Android is going to declare me an idiot. Well, that's just what I'm saying. That's already happening. That's already happening. That's unavoidable. So it's just forecasting a little bit. Fun fact, the people who make QPR2 are the same people that make the mayonnaise. You know, that was originally going to be my question, but I was like, they're not going to know what I'm talking about. I love QPR2. QPR2. Rich Brought in QPR2. No, Eric Brought in. Eric Brought in. Eric Brought the QPR2. Yeah. That did happen. All right. Well, we'll all either know it or we'll take a guess and answer something like that. Like usual. We'll break back. Ambassador Rahm Emanuel served as President Obama's chief of staff in a administration that had to deal with its fair share of global conflicts. He dealt directly with Israel's prime minister and thought plenty about the threat from Iran. But Emanuel told me that the pace of action from this president in the Middle East is giving him whiplash. In 15 months, this president has taken military action against eight countries. I just, just in 15, now we got three more years to go. In 15 months, Iran's twice, but you have Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Venezuela. I'm losing Nigeria. That's my junior year. I'm losing Nigeria. Today, I explained in your feed every weekday and on Saturdays, too. This week on version history, our chat show about the most interesting and important products in the history of technology, we're talking about the hottest toy from 1998. That's right, of course, I mean the Furby. The little thing that sat on your desk and didn't have an off button and didn't speak English and annoyed everyone you knew, but you loved it to pieces anyway. It turns out there is a fascinating technology and even AI story behind what happened with Furby and why it took off. That's the story this week on version history wherever you get podcasts. All right, this week YouTube proved that they do at least hear what we are saying to them because they announced a feature that I and others, Hank Green notably, have been pitching on Twitter for years since they killed YouTube rewind, which is we want wrapped. I still want them to call it rewind. I said they should call it rewind and that's totally fine. I get that they want to abandon the name, but the idea would be, I just want to know like all the stats and numbers and insights and analytics from the videos that I watched on YouTube this year. I watch a lot of YouTube and kind of similarly to Spotify wrapped, I feel like it's kind of like a window into who you are. It's kind of like an interesting insight into your year. So YouTube did finally do that this year and it's rolling out this week. Almost all of us have it. Andrew still hasn't gotten it. It's supposed to be like this week. On his phone. On the phone. Yeah. It's like the most Google faithful here with the Google phone. It does. But it's called YouTube recaps and if you do have it, you can open it up. It's in your account page and it can walk you through. It's kind of like a first gen product. It's not the most insightful thing in the world, but it shows you like the channels you watch the most and like the genres you watch the most. And it's kind of interesting and I feel like I had some things that I learned and some things that were like clearly wrong in there. But it was cool. I think my most interesting stat is I watched allegedly 1,880 channels this year. Oh my God. I watched 538. You watched three times as much to use scroll shorts on there on the YouTube. That can come. Yeah. That has to count. I could see that flush. It is interesting. Yeah. I guess that would instantly bump up the number of channels you watch. It doesn't show any short channels when I look at the channels though. But also didn't. What do you mean? Yeah, I mean, like these two have shorts on them. So like, I mean, they have shorts on them, but they're not main. You know, but it's so good. Show up in the shorts. This could just be long form. It could be. I'm not sure that it includes shorts. And I doesn't say there's no like numbers to any of this. It's just kind of telling me like, here's what you watched. But I feel like this could just be long form. Well, my top channel is the way from podcast. Hell yeah. I bet some people watching this. They're top channels. The way from podcast. Yeah. So shout out to you guys. Maybe send us the screenshots on Twitter. So they have a lot of them. I appreciate you all. I would argue most people watching this probably has it as their top channel because if you watch it on YouTube, the hours you are putting it in. Yeah. And again, it doesn't say how it's measuring it. Is it by hours? Is it by total views? Is it by percentage of catalog watched? Because I saw a couple of channels in here that I haven't watched that many videos of them. But I'm in the top 3% of waveform viewers. That's pretty definitive. You watch a lot of it and most more than most people. I'm not gonna say a lot of it. How many channels did you say you watched? Mine said 1,880 channels. Okay. I got 1,700 and so. Hell yeah. Do you watch shorts on YouTube? No. Okay. So yeah, it feels like it could just be long form. And then it shows like a screenshot of like a bunch of channels and it seems like it's the one. So while I'm playing data, you're watching YouTube. Yeah. What I was just sleeping is that Mark has you were not on the list of my tech channels that I watched. You were categorized on my recap as a business insights channel. That's really interesting. Yeah. The number one business insights reviewer in the world. Business? I mean, I'll take it. I saw someone say that waveform clips was categorized under gaming. Yeah. So that's we know a lot about it. We've never had any algorithm. We are the Nintendo Switch 2 podcast. Honestly, maybe that's why. There's a good amount. So it gives me YouTube recap gave me my top 3 genres. So one was tech news, two was sports content, three was comedy. Didn't know that, but I guess that's technically true. And then it gives me a couple of things. It doesn't show me. I would say Spotify rap is a more developed product with more interesting insights. Very developed. But shout out to YouTube for actually listening. This is a good first try. Now next year, do better. Build in some interesting like like number crunching or like insights like how many hours of YouTube did I watch this year? I want to know that. I want to know something Spotify did this year with RAPT is they analyzed your listening history and just came up with a listening age. And it gives you a number of like you have the listening habits of a 20 year old or a seven year old. Interestingly today is my 32nd birthday and it said mine was exactly 32. hilarious. Crazy. I also think like if Amazon did a RAPT, it would know way too much about you to get it wrong and it would just tell you your exact age. This is totally not because I'm really salty that I'm the only person here without recap right now. I feel like the reasons Spotify RAPT works so well is because it has a singular day where everybody is sharing it. So to roll this out gradually and not have everyone having it and sharing it at the same time is to the amount of people are going to be like, oh, I'm hyped. I want to go look at it and it's not in your profile. You've just lost. Sounds like a huge problem. Yeah. I think it's rolls out features and stages and waves a lot. And I almost wonder if they even have the ability to like, I mean, other than removing the like dislike that can do it. They're naturally at the stage. Yeah, they should be able to pull. They should be able to hit a button and every single thing on the second largest website on the planet should change. What was your YouTube award? Mine is the most likely to have the latest tech and still know the best local coffee shop. That's extremely accurate. That's pretty specific. Terremly accurate. Mine was the most likely to know what's going on behind the scenes of a new story before other people have heard the new story. Wow. That's also very specific. I was not insinuating. You just know. I'm a f***ing genius, bro. He's the one that committed the crime. My award is most likely to find the coolest new gadget before everyone else. Yeah, that's mine. That seems pretty generic. To be honest, are you the curious mind? I'm the curious mind. I'm the one that's my personality. The wonder seeker. I'm the wonder seeker. Mark has do we have the same YouTube rat? Maybe. Tech product reviews. Was bad bunny also your topless and true? No, I've never heard of bad bunny song. That's entirety. So that is a lie and it's entirety. Bad bunny was yours. Yeah. On my spot. Bad boon. Bad boon. Yeah. Do you know that line in the office where he's like, I love inside jokes. I love to be part of one one day. That's how I feel right now with all of you guys. I don't know what any of you're talking about. You know, it's funny after you watch a YouTube recap, it has you do a questionnaire to whether or not you think that it. It was good. It was good or not. It's actually, it says rate your level of agreement. This recap reflects who I am. My interest preferences, etc. It's they're trying the first screen. If you look very small text at the bottom, it says AI can make mistakes. So it was definitely made with AI. Damn. I mean, I don't. I'm not shocked. Microsoft uses AI. Yeah, I can make mistakes. It does say every tiny very small text. Sorry, Andrew. Yeah. Anyway, I'm so irrationaly mad about it. It's kind of like, before everyone asks, my, I don't have my history deleted or anything. Like I don't have any of the special things that would not let me have it. YouTube just hates me. Well, I don't have my Google photos recap, which was way we were about to talk about. I don't have that either. That I do have, which is you have it. I do have that. Wow. So Google gave that to you. Do you want to go to that? Yeah, we'll go to Google or you guys don't. We'll just finish up Google. Yeah. YouTube recap. I should have been called YouTube. I agree. And I do want to say really quickly, I know that YouTube, we were going to progressively more cringe, but I like, I feel like there's something cultural about that, you know? Keep the name, like own the name. I know it. Yeah. They must have really, really lost how bad it was. It's a point to barely not. It would have been way better to own it. What has changed though? Like this is something I would think about a lot recently. There's not really like a singular cultural event that everyone took. It doesn't happen that much anymore that there is one topic that everyone is watching and seeing and talking about. So because of algorithmic timelines and everything being curated to for you. So now like the YouTube rewind, you know, it already felt a little out of touch because it would be some like artists that you had never heard of them before and it was like, oh, they were really popular. That's crazy. But now it would be like, I would not recognize literally anything that happened on it, which is why this is a perfect replacement for it. So it's just telling you about yourself and what you watched. But I want to feel more connected to the world. That's what the best YouTube rewinds were. The best YouTube rewinds were the first few where it was just the extremely, extremely small selection of the couple of memes that everyone was aware of. Which started like no, there are a few. There are only like five, like exactly six, seven. You've all seen it. They've all heard, you've all seen maybe like one major sports event of the end of the season. And one major cultural event or one or two celebrities that like had a big moment or something like that, that would be it. But I feel like, I mean, in a tech space, even now the Android releases are not going to be like a big Android 17. I know. They're all just coming out all the time, constantly. They used to be stuff every day on Twitter that we would, they would be the topic of the day that does not happen almost at all anymore. Every now and then, but not very often. Yeah. If you were in charge of YouTube rewind today and you were trying to do it the same style as the last few rewinds, you have a list like 70 pages long of things to include and it would just be impossible. So glad they didn't try that. Like K-pop. Yeah, I feel like it could be like, hip hop demon hunters, my name. Hip hop demon hunters, coffee, zilla, K-pop. I feel like this was kind of his breakout year. Or did he start? No. That was like two to three years ago. His breakout year is probably two to three years ago. I think when like the bigger NFT crypto scam stuff, the 2022 is it all like it might be longer than last year? No, no, no, no, no, it's two to three years ago. I think he was still a coffee channel. I didn't even know he was a coffee channel. He was definitely doing a lot of the crypto stuff during the metaverse wave. His most popular 20 year, three years ago, four years ago, two years ago, two years ago, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 20 year, actually two years ago was his really big year. The biggest YouTubers were still Mr. Beast and like the most obvious ones that you're thinking of. T-series. And that's fine. All right. Tell us about Google Photos recap that apparently only you have Andrew. This is the pixel reward. This is my pixel reward, not the other Google product from YouTube. I mean, Google Photos is awesome already in that it does a lot of these like memories together or like this day back like photos from this day previous years. But it pretty much just gives you at the top of your screen a like 20, 25 year recap. And you just scroll through it and it pretty much is just going to show the people you took the most photos of. I have 1800 photos of Lane apparently from this year, which is then funny because then it's clear. And then my the third person is just Lane, but it doesn't put Lane's name to the face. So but yeah, it's just kind of going through all how people you've taken photos of. Um, you know, mine is just all Lane pretty much, but exploring new places, things you've done, I've gone do a lot of Devils games theme parks, I guess it's another good service to have a rewind. And then it throws some videos at the end just like clips them all together, which is awesome. I think as a parent right now. Yeah. This is one of the coolest things. That's why I gave it to you first. And this is really cool because I can share it just through Google photos with other people. I think like one last thing about yeah, harping on being a parent is like, you have a kid start a shared Google photos album with everyone who might take pictures of them that they can then look at. And it's the best thing ever. Yeah. I think that's really awesome. Yeah. They also added a new feature to this Google photos recap where you can now export directly to CapCut. For some reason, it's specifically CapCut. And they have a bunch of different templates where you can put different photo real stuff in it. Yeah. I guess it's like they really want you to make a short out of it or something. I'm sure to share it. Yeah. The other funny thing is there's also an option called replace people or photos. So I guess if you, because I guess we all take photos of like random things all the time, maybe a receipt. Yeah. Maybe just like that. So like if that happens to pop up, you can replace the photo. Replace people is really funny. I guess maybe if you take too many photos at like work and there's someone from work that you don't want to be with all your other family members, I'm assuming it will take out the couple of slides that's dedicated to that person. The tags are recognize this. Yeah. So you can edit it. I'm glad because not to go dark, but that could also be a thing if you lost a family member this year. And then it's giving you a recap of like. Yeah. I don't want to see that right now. That might be like good to see the memories of the person, but like if you broke up with somebody that you don't want to see the memories with the person. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Spotify. It's the next one. Spotify got to kicked off this whole like recap thing and now freaking eight sleep is probably doing a right now. I want that. How you slept this year. Really? I want that. Eight sleep wrapped. I didn't get the Spotify age thing. You didn't? No. It's in the. I know. I was looking at it. In your rap, it didn't. Huh. No. I guess I'm timeless. That's what I want to ask. I think there was two main things in rap this year that were different. That were fun. And one is it calculates your age based on music you listen to. And also the last one was towards the end, it created files of kind of like your most music listening day. It would be like the day you listen to the most different genres, the day you listen to this one artist too many times and have a little recap. But yeah, I wanted to ask everyone's listening age was minus 47. 47. Mine is 32. 32. That's hilarious because it's your birthday. Yeah. I think David and I are on the older end. Mine was 87. Eight. Eighty seven. That was 72. Mine was. So mine's kind of interesting because it's also old. I believe it's 68. The only thing is, and Marquez had an interesting point about this. So maybe he's right. I listened to a lot of older music. Oh, 78. Oh, sorry. Not 87. That was 73. That's wild. It knows you make fun of Spotify. I'm the Enigma, baby. I mean, my genres are indie pop, Scott Punk, Mini-Anapolis sound, whatever that means. That's Prince. Pop. And alternative rock. And how is that 73? I think it's more based on when the music came out. Yeah. And when it would possibly be. Yeah. I mean, it plays Joni Mitchell when I am. Mine's, yeah. Mine played Bruce Springsteen when it said 68. But it also said in my top genres, number four was Lullaby because of how many things I played for Lane, which makes me wonder if my age should be way higher. And that's actually pulling my average down really hard. But you said, I thought it was interesting. Like obviously a lot of one year olds listen to Lullaby's, but maybe they're not the ones listening to it on Spotify. Because their parents who are listening to the Lullaby's on their Spotify. So it knows based on you listening to Lullaby's that you are around a parent's age. Yeah. Ten-trade point. They also just know how old you are. That was the thing. I think you just, it just knows. But it's supposed to just tell you your age. But it's just telling you your age. It's just sad that mine's the same as my age. If it was just trying to actually guess our age, it's all really bad. It's perfect. It's boring. I also found a very funny, I forgot to mention this. I found a very funny bug in the YouTube recap. So as many people know, I watch almost every video at least 2x speed. The YouTube recap will play music in the background based on a song that you've listened to through YouTube music apparently. I don't really know how it picks it. But if the last video that you watched on YouTube before you start your recap, you were watching at 2x speed or something else. It plays that song at 2-3x speed. So watch this. I don't know if we can play this because I copyright. But if I switch, and we just switch this playback speed to 3x, okay? 3x. You're just in like a random video, right? Just a random video. And then I go to my YouTube recap. That's it. And it's like doing the recap. That's like playing it at 3x. Wait, can you find royalty-free music to do this? It just picks it up. No, no, no. So it does your most played song through YouTube music as your background. Streetlight manifesto sped up just sounds like through the fire and flames. I thought it was through the fire and flames. Yeah, that was really fun. Well, that song's not technically out yet, so maybe it's not copyrighted. Especially not free. Pretty sure it's through the fire and flames have been out for quite some time. I played through the fire and flames of the party, and someone was like, what is this? And I was like, oh my god. Is that person uncultured? That's why you're listening age is 73. He's dragon force. That is really funny. Okay. If you guys have us on your wrapped or your recap, because we could be on your YouTube recap, or your Spotify wrapped, send it to us. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see it. Yeah. I also wanted to end this with one other wrapped we got is in megaphone, we get wrapped for creators, which if you guys want to open the link, you can... We have not looked at this, but this is basically our wrapped for waveform of people who listen to us. I thought we'd go through it really quick. I think we usually do this every year. So if you guys want to pull it up at the production desk, let's go. 225, this year is quite the year for you. Scroll down. This is just on Spotify or is this across all? Well, no, megaphone is across all audio. Yeah. Yeah, so this should do everything. It's just that megaphone zone by Spotify now. So okay. So we're going to go through with the hard work pays up 2.3 million total plays. Door. Again, audio only. 9% increase of total audience from last year. Okay. 122,000 total new audience. Wait, what? Is that what we just... Of total audience, total new audience, 56.8K. Up 350% from last year. I'm not sure how it's... I don't know what that means, but... I'm not sure how it's... Well, this is audio, right? Yeah. This is just through Spotify. Or is this... No, it's megaphone. This is what pushes to our distribution. Yeah. It's cool. That sounds like a totally wrong number. Total followers, 274,000, up 7% from last year. Is that right? 52.6 million minutes of listening. How many... Do I have more hours and data to than... Well, here we go. Hours of listening. 877,000 hours of listening. Pretty close. That is 36.5,000 days. 5.2,000 weeks. Is that just this year? 1.2,000 months and 100 years. Centennial. Wow. We have Blue Zone in here. This is our Centennial. Blue Zone. That's so many dishes. That's a lot of dishes. Wait, is that it? Yeah, that's it. Oh, wait, no, no. The charts. Number nine. Number nine what the charts wait for me PhD podcast you hit number nine Like total number nine. We're sorry. We know we have hands. We didn't hurt that bad Do we hit the number nine? I just what is the chart? Just as the charts you were on the charts for 43 weeks you charted in eight countries That's that me Me Clearly they did not put as much work into they put way too much work in the animation For all of this because there was a really good thanks daddy one episode or most popular episode What do you think are what episode rose above the rest? You're right which one is vision pro Apple iPhone. Yeah, was it vision pro? Oh Our live oh, yeah apple park event. Yeah, 40% more than the average episode wow nice wait was that our that wasn't the We're still quoting it whatever that means Hot takes leave notes and everything in between love notes. What is that these are all the comments we haven't enabled oh No, it's the comments that we barely know how to read Well, there's hundreds of them YouTube needs to fix this episode got the most comments or The most used emoji was a thumbs up United States left 716 comments most comments were left on June 19th. Sorry. We're gonna say something else Is that just is this on spot up? Sorry if you comment on spotify good job We don't have a process in place Yeah, are listening pass. Oh, this is the most fun part though like 158 countries reached there are 158 countries. There's I can't name all the planet Oh All right top countries United States United Kingdom India Canada Germany everybody else needs to step it up Come on man, yeah, get your friends to listen. You're never gonna chart at this You're charted you charted number nine Your show made it to the top of many fans lists what's the list? I don't know. It's next to charts You're a top-down show for 71,000 fans. That's pretty some top five for 55,000 fans number one show for 18.7 Shout out fans including me on YouTube Your top fans streamed 2.6 times more than everyone else. Yeah, I Feel like this has to just be spotify. There's no way they could collect. Yeah, this feels like this I don't think they can go. They don't have user data Oh, okay unless they're like Err walking everybody's IP all the time minute minutes and stuff like that. Yeah total er that could probably This is a spotify your idea What's spotify URL because it's through megaphone which is what pushes to our assessor spotify logo in the corner because Spotify owns megaphone Yeah, but I think it's pretty clear. Oh, this is all just spotify then that's crazy because all these numbers are way higher because Spotify isn't even our most listen to I don't know because megaphone gives us Um megaphone gives us numbers outside this numbers outside of Spotify. That's what I'm saying. I think I think that I would guess that the listening numbers are probably From all platforms because you can detect how many times an RSS feed is pulled from megaphone servers, but I don't I don't know how they would know like our like a user's top shows from RSS infrastructure. It's yeah, it's really simple. Oh keep scrolling you these get really interesting when you scroll down The top artists the top artists from people who listen to our podcast What do you know I don't know one or two, which is probably I don't know one. I don't know two Three is Kendrick Lamar forced to us with and five is Drake Pop audio books you guys listen to number one John Green everything is tuberculosis number two Ezra Klein abundance Number three Gary Stevenson the trading game. Whoa number four James clears iconic atomic habits book and number five Mark Manson the subtle art is not giving a Wow It's there's something funny about talking about not giving a And then censoring the word on the cover. Yeah, it sounds like you give a little bit You got a book everywhere. You got to sell a book and then other top shows that you guys listen to just say number number one Well, Jerry's the most popular podcast on earth. So Joe roger number one the Wandshow number two The Verge cast number three the near times daily number four the Bill Simmons podcast Y'all know ball okay, also that the Jerry Rig everything experiences the number of podcasts. Yeah, that is interesting Um, who's Bill Simmons? Sportscoms get a best. Just to see it at that sports guy big sports guy. Yeah, the last thing says fans listen to you for longer than 99% of other shows So we have a show that keeps people listening for long durations mom which for a podcast I feel like it's a pretty big achievement. That's pretty cool. Honestly shout out to Adam for that because if you were in the room with us You would leave so fast So good. I haven't left yet Can actually I don't know I have to cut them sometimes where you leave That's bad. Oh yeah sure you receive more shares than 99% of other shows really that feels like something there's a lot That feels like a great accomplishment. They shared all the iPhone the iPhone video And that's it. Okay, well we charted Whatever that means we did that I charted we charted we charted we listed And now we trivied unlike Nathan Drake who uncharted we charted see if charted the seas And another thing Also, I just want to wait. I just blinked and this animation thing was like in my Because it's like pulsing I learned when I was really young That's C is for cookie and that's good enough Solve that whole archivist with that one I did long vision for this one so this is that the first question though. How did you log the vision for the first I don't see I don't see any I'm not long in this class. You got to show you the worst brother The one plus 15's battery is insane how many times larger in milliamp hours is it larger or longer? Doesn't matter how many times more in milliamp hours is the one plus 15 than my 12 mini closest delta closest oh boy delta oh wait We have really milked this piece of music for so much at this point. It's incredible. It's timeless. I wish I remember who wrote it Let's switch to Sid Meier's sim golf theme song next You guys probably have heard Sid Meier's civilization We were both like Mark has everyone sort of civilization. I heard of Sid Meier's sim golf Oh boy. Oh please please give me the win. No These are closed answers. These are closed answers. It ain't 24 I showed more work than both of you guys. David What is your answer 4.2 x all right. I will tell you now that you are the farthest what's away? Oh from what I can see all right Andrew yes, what did you put 3.15 3.15 that puts you 0.12 away from the collect the correct answer Mark has what did you like? I think you're right I know the one plus 15 has a 7300 milliamp hour battery that is correct I was guessing that your phones in the ballpark of 2400 which I think might be too high I have three high I was thinking it was 1500 I have 3.1 x which I'm Realizing I'm sorry I I going to round that to 3.10 because you do not have oh wait That's what you meant by that you weren't like x was not a variable. Oh you know you were not not one time all right The correct answer is 3.27 Which gives Andrew Yeah, the point so what is the millipower of the iPhone? I believe it is I believe it is 2 2 2 7 For some reason I was guessing like 1500. I was guessing more you know in a white guess 1500 It was the usable Million Power is of Ellis's battery. That's what I was. Yes. It's like, probably 1500 by this point. That's my thinking. I was in Chinatown buying fishballs for David and I and it's so good. I the guy the fish ball at Mr. Chang's fishball store was like, oh, you should scan this QR code and leave a review of my fishballs. And I was like, yeah, I love it, man. I'm here all the time. And I opened my camera app to scan it and my camera broke. It didn't work. So I like it this point. This point is going to have your phone. It's a feature phone. I'm going to upgrade it. As soon as I can get a 17 pro for under $1,200. Sure. But like, come on, man. You get the small one. Yeah. The small one is not $1,200. I mean, it starts at $1,000. It starts at $1,000. And then you should never buy based storage iPhones. So doesn't start at $9,99. Yeah. Yeah. 10, oh, a pro at $10,99, 10,99. A pro. It starts at $10,99. 10,99. 10,99. 10,99. Yeah. All right. I'm going to pass it over to Adam to score update and hit you with question number two. Get him. Well, that's getting cut. Click up there on the score. Mark has with 10 and drew after that correct answer with 13. David, bring up the rear with nine. David, this is your chance. What does QPR2 mean? For the Android updates that we spoke about, QPR2 is when you exchange a bribe for fish eggs, quid pro row. One point, Alex. This is it. Flip him and read. What do you got? I'll go David first. I did. Oh, I think Mark has this right. I think Mark has this right. Okay. Well, I wrote it means nothing, hoping that it just didn't really mean anything. Because I couldn't even pretend to make up letters. What have been hilarious? But no, I wrote quarterly pixel release to. Okay. And Mark has what you write. I wrote quarterly public release to smart. It's not. Neither of you were correct. It's quarterly platform release to close enough, close to nice work and neither of us can claim close to adults because they're both one word off. Because it's a word. Unfortunately, that means why is that? There's not distance between words. Actually, there is in 3D space. So, well, I nobody gets those points, but we all learn something today. Shout out to those of you who have a singer wrapped or you'll recaps. And yeah, because I get wrong every week. I just learned something every week. Yeah, fair. And thank you for watching and for listening and subscribing. We'll catch you very soon in our more regularly scheduled programming in tech, December. No, we're just forcing it at this point. Tech, December. See you soon. It's his birthday. Oh, true. I write Mark has. Wayform is produced in a small studio in between the Labrador and Sargaso C's by Ellis Rovin and Adam Molina. The cast BZ is a lake. Our theme music is written by Vain Sill and we're part of the Vox Media Podcast Network. We're written by the VIX. I'm on oceanservice.noa.gov and they say a sea is the part of the ocean that is near land. That's it. Oh, I thought it came out of the terrible explanation. That's not. I can go to the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah. So not all ocean. So not. But then there's a bay. All sea is part of ocean. So it's just some of the parts of the ocean. It's a part of an ocean that's like vaguely near land. That's not just like far out. It's not a hard line. It's like a gradient. Yeah. That's a weird way of describing it. I don't think so. But it's just like it makes you think any parts of the ocean that are near land are seas. It's a bottom. Which is not true. Well, think of it this way. When you're actually sailing, land, these big masses of stuff really affect weather patterns. We're talking about land land. No, I'm talking about air. I like my chat. It's a pretty different mission actually. Okay. Mine is personal. I see me in analogy. So think of the ocean as the plant's giant main stage of saltwater. There's only a few. They're immense. They're deep and they connect continents. A sea is like a side room off of that stage. Smaller, shallower, often partly enclosed by land and commonly linked to an ocean. So oceans shape global circulation and climate with broad uninterrupted waters. Seas sit on continental margins like the Caribbean sea, the Mediterranean sea. They can have distinct conditions and ecosystems and are more influenced by nearby land and rivers. Do they have to be a certain size? That's a better. Alice has the perfect image for this. So if anyone is confused, look at the video version. I will have this image in a podcast. Do they need to be a certain size? If you say where do you put it? It's the part of ocean by land. That's a confusing way of describing it. Wait, so the, um, because in Santa Cruz, like that's a, like that's a bay because there's Santa Cruz. There's the Monterey Bay, which is like the area that separates Santa Cruz and Monterey. Yeah, wait, so what's the difference between a bay and a sea? Yeah. We're thinking of these terms as like, you know, these hard geographical, or I guess not geographical, it's the ocean. But the reason I would assume the reason that these terms are different is because when you're sailing on the water, the conditions, the average weather, it's going to be different when you're out in the open ocean versus vaguely near a massive land. Right. So just saying the Atlantic ocean has these conditions is not specific enough because the Labrador sea and the Sargaso sea are going to be require different sailing techniques to traverse them. Also all the, so what's the, so the Gulf of Alaska, Alaska goes all the way down to the bearing sea, all the way down. Yeah, where like, Chileans, like the general, like this is a bunch of Gulf of Alaska. Nobody's all the way down to the sea. And then all of a sudden it's like, does it have something to do with like the ocean floor, like where it drops off to deeper parts, and that would be the ocean? Yeah, we could go to the Labrador sea. I've never heard most. Lincoln sea? We're not, you're not, we're not sailing. Like they don't, we're not traversing the oceans. They don't have meaningful differences. Also the Gulf of Mexico is like this thing is not a sea. So it's even more enclosed because I'm looking at the, the bay of Bengal right now. I don't like that. It's kind of a Gulf. There's only, we brought up a map that has a bunch of seas. The seven of us use the terms for it. But then it's also just missing a giant portion. There's a lot of seas. That's like still land connected to ocean. Yeah. Anyway, this didn't help me at all. Yeah, this is the, I wish I could question. Wait, Ellis, what was your question? This is a, was a difference between the, I'm just saying the original explanation was a poor explanation. And Ellis is trying to prove it with a map that nobody cares about and is still proving me right. What's the sea off California? I didn't know land. It might, it might not have a denotation because it's not necessary to separate from the rest of the Pacific Ocean. This doesn't even, the Pacific Ocean is called the Pacific Ocean because it's, yeah, but all of them. Because it's a pointless call. What about around like Hawaii? Is there like a sea? No, it's the Pacific. I feel like that's too small. It doesn't talk about the Gulf of Mexico at all. It's supposed to be seas, which is weird. That's as Gulf of Alaska. Yeah. I'm just saying, I think the saying seas are oceans near land is confusing because there are also oceans near land that I think just a step further explaining. Yeah. Is not that unreasonable? Apparently, the Hawaii sea is the Pacific Ocean surrounding Hawaiian islands. Yeah. But that is, that might be made up. So I think you're agreeing with Ellis. You just wish that it was more specific. Exactly. Exactly. That's all I've heard. Less, he wants less specific. No, I want more specific. I think you didn't want the seas. You just wanted that. No, no, I'm just saying the very vague definition of a sea is ocean next to land. Which is when you first said, right? Or am I wrong on that and then my whole argument? It's technically not wrong, but it's not actually. I just don't think it's a good description. We'll look at this. The Caspian Sea is not even connected to the ocean. That's a, that's a lake. The Caspian Sea is a lake. You just don't see it. The Caspian Sea is also completely landlocked. Really? I can see how that black sea is connected. I just don't see how the Caspian Sea is connected. That is the Caspian Sea isn't connected. It's landlocked. I mean, maybe it is. It's the biggest lake in the world. It might have a river that connects it to the ocean. It's kind of like the Great Lakes. No, I know this. The Caspian Sea is the biggest lake. Caspian? Maybe they just named it that before they made all these. This is a bullsh** man. This is bullsh**. The Caspian Sea is. You realize there's not like, also the black sea. You realize there's not like some group of guys and suits who are like the official government of seas and saltwater that decide all this stuff. They just, these are, these are terms that have been developed and cultivated over millennia of ocean fairing. Like there doesn't have to be a reason. Why did you ask us a trivia question about that? I did it. I didn't do any of this. This is Adam. I'm trying to respect that sometimes language is cultivated by over time people doing cool stuff and we can learn about that stuff. We don't need to be like, that's f**king stupid because it's not stupid. I guess my argument is if we want to learn more about it, then we should have a better descriptor of it than just see is ocean next to land. I think that doesn't give it enough credit. And I think there's a better way to describe it in the black sea. I think that we can use the simple it's near land because that will affect the ocean conditions which is important because you need to know what kind of conditions your ocean craft is going to face. I'm not doing this anymore. He's just not listening. I have an analogy. I think it's like, I don't have the floppy disk as the save button. It's not actually a floppy disk. It's like an analogy for how we use the Cossi. The only one that's not connected to the ocean. When it was called the sea, they should rename it as the Caspian Lake. Did you watch the Hank Green video about fish recently? He talks about how there's all this argument about whether sharks are fish, or jellyfish fish, what actually is a fish? And the deeper you get into it, the more you realize it's literally impossible to decide. I just clean a line of what I'm saying. I don't know why yours don't have one because they're so mad at me because you think I don't believe you, but I believe you and I'm just saying it would be easier for an average person to understand it with one more sentence tacked on to that. I'm trying to say is the average person does not need to understand it because the actual cool, interesting, functional truth is complicated. The truth is, it's based on all of this, but your answer to a complicated thing is because he has vague as possible as a definition of it. I honestly don't understand. What is an overduce one? I did say that the Hawaii sea is the ocean around Hawaii. No, it did not. I googled Hawaii sea though, so I let it on. I definitely don't know why this exists. I don't know. I overbeast. You were asking for it, Mark. All I did was Google Hawaii sea and I said, oh yeah, Hawaii sea. That's the water around Hawaii. I feel like that's all I need to know. All right, are you leading into the Android stuff? All right, welcome back. There's a difference between the ocean and the sea. Oh my gosh. I will. Chachibitinos. This all stem from being horribly wrong about season, the first place, two episodes. Really? Well, I just said like, no, season oceans are different. I know. And I know that. But you said you're joking back then. No, no, no. I thought they were or like, I used to mess synonyms because people say the seven sea is the same time. Wait, it all guys. I'll say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it did start for me being like.
