I tweeted just a screenshot of the Google slide that just said book two floor seats to this concert and then in the video the person just clicks it and then that's the end of the interaction and they're like yep yep got the tickets what no that's not how this wor ks . Yo, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marquez. I'm Adam. I'm Mariah. Got a new setup today. This is is you know how when there's like a new sorry, it's NBA podcast already. When you have like a new lineup that's not played in the playoffs, like for the first time, the sixers probably did this. You have a lineup of like a group of people who have never played at the same time together. This is like the current arrangement. Yeah. I'm supposed to be on the bench, but for some reason they put me over here. Well you've been I I think it's been you've been there, Mariah's here. No, David was here, you were there. Yeah. So it's it's like a shuffle. Yeah. Listen, we're down by thirty. It's the fourth quarter. We gotta try anything. We're trying to get a Tuesday. It's great. Uh today we watched the Android show, so we've got all sorts of thoughts on all of what they've announced. We also can talk a little bit about the death slash rebirth of Fitbit because that happened. And also we have a game that uh I have no idea what we're actually going to do. But there are buzzers here. Yeah. So it surely will be fun. I asked Ellis yesterday like,, hey, how's how's the game coming along? Do you need me to like prep anything? And he's like, Don't worry about it. That makes me a little bit nervous. Excited, but nervous. It's good. Exactly. Uh but first, did they even test this? This is uh I hear Ellis has one. Yeah, an Ellis special today. Well, now I'm like scared to do did they even test this? Because the last time I did it, I was the one that did not test it and was was proven wrong. But I have recently switched back from Apple Watch to Garmin as my fitness tracker of choice. Oh, so you're on Android now? Hey. Hey. Oh boy. Um I don't know. After the Android show today. I've so I've been trying to link it with my Strava , and uh which has just proved to be like a death-defying nightmare. It's been a mess for so long. And it just results in this thing where this like endless loop where I go into the Garmin app and try or I go into Strava, the Strava app. I have to be really specific here. Go into the Strava app, hit connect device, choose Garmin. It opens the Garmin app. The Garmin app is then like, okay, let's now connect your Strava and Garmin accounts. I'm like, bet. Then it goes to Strava.com where it makes me sign in for some reason. So I sign into my Strava account on Strava.com and then it goes, great, we're in. Now we need to go back to the Garmin app. And then I go back to the Garmin app and the Garmin app goes, it failed. And I So did you get in? No, I've done this about 50 times, like hoping that it goes differently. You're still not in? No. Oh my god. Um so they were supposed to have fixed this like a few years ago. They did like a whole announcement post about it. Yeah, like literally like two or three years ago. They were like we're now connected with Strava. You no longer have to worry about this, but I guess I guess it's still an issue. Damn. Yeah. Damn, that blows for you. Nobody tested it. There is one other thing that blows for me. No. Oh no. No. He's wearing a shirt already. Guys , after several weeks funeral of hopeful bliss, I would say, the Philadelphia 76ers have been knocked out of the NBA playoffs. After an amazing first round, they were swept in four games by the New York Knickerbockers. Like you could be sad, or you could choose to revel in what an amazing year we had. We watched VJ drop 30 over and over again as a rookie. We watched Andre Drummond to learn how to shoot three pointers. We watched Kyle Rowry say goodbye to the NBA, I think. Damn. Maybe. We watched Nick Nurse develop complex systems, and most of all, we watched the greatest hero in American history, Joel Embiid, Lucid overcome countless obstacles and ascend to basketball greatness. Philadelphia 76ers, I love you. How did you time that so perfectly? Did you practice this? No. Also for all of our uh Scandinavian slash Nordic audience members who are confused why I used a Christmas hymn for that. Uh I just like the way it sounded and they don't know anything about that stuff. So nice. I don't know where to go from here. I'm trying to make a broom pun to move to the next thing. I don't know if I can think of what. You know who else swept the stage? Ah. Samir. Samir from Google. Okay, so the Android show, the pre-I.O. Android show is this week. And we we talked a little bit about it before how they were sort of hyping up. Same is one of the ones on Twitter who was like this is going to be one of the I think they said the biggest update to Android yet. It's a lot. It's a lot of hype, a lot of promises. Uh but we finally did get that promise, and they gave us this wonderful 45-minute video of very human uh presentation and uh a ton of new features through Android, Android Auto, through Gemini Intelligence, and through uh some g so we'll we'll talk about all of that. Yeah we gotta censor you saying c though. Yeah bleep that out why because that's what they did during the event. They bleeped out Google books. Right at the beginning he tried to leak Google Books. Oh and he said it and then they bleeped it. And he was like, We could fix it in post, right? And it was like one of those like haha, I'm a person too. So quick mistakes. So human, Google. Um yeah. It was great. Anyway. So let's talk about Android first, maybe? Sure. Cause that was so we were looking forward to Android updates. Android 17 is what the new version is going to be called. Um they did the thing, first of all, that they do every time where they're like, all this stuff is coming first to pixels and Samsung Galaxy S. Yes. So some of us in here are very happy about that. They uh they tend to do that. They tend to put Samsung right at the forefront of a lot of the software stuff. Cool. How do you feel about that as a OnePlus boy now? I'm a OnePlus 15 user. I do have a mention of that later in this. Um, but yeah, it's fine. You know, we'll get that stuff eventually. Okay. At some point. At some point. Yeah. Um, so here's a couple of the things that we got. We got some slightly updated aesthetics. We got a lot of the Gemini stuff is what's updated aesthetically. So a little new animation. It's a little bit glassy, but not really when you're talking to it, then when it's thinking, then when it's executing. Doing a whole redesign. It seems to be just for Gemini, right? Yeah. That's just whenever you long press the button and Gemini pops up or you're doing something with Gemini, that's what the redesign is. Yeah. And spoiler, a lot of what's new with Android is Gemini related, and that's why they're calling it the biggest update yet, because AI big AI very important to Google. Some of the stuff that was interesting, screen reactions, I thought was a cool uh feature. So you know how you see one of those uh Instagram or TikTok real videos where it's just a person in front of whatever they're talking about. That's like a mode built into the camera now. You can just do that. It's great. Unfortunately built into Android. Yeah, I think this is gonna slap. It's gonna just make that format so much easier for so many people. Yeah. It's great. Listen, do you guys follow Cardi B on Instagram? Cardi B. I don't think so actually. Okay. Well, she has these like weekly rants where she's just talking to the camera on Instagram and just going off about whatever's going on in her life. Just loves this. It's very entertaining. She is gonna use the hell out of this, assuming she ever leaves iPhone. But is she gonna have an Android phone? Yeah. People that do that kind of like content, this is gonna be insane. Paris Hilton's gonna be making videos with this for sure. Surely yeah. Surely with Paris Hilton with promoter role stream. Yeah. Um there's also some more plugs with things like Instagram. So some of this has existed already in the past, but some more native integration with using the camera built into Instagram. You can have HDR content supported, you can have all of the processing supported, uh, which is nice. I remember they did this a few years ago with Snap chat, I think it was where they like implemented the Google camera directly into Snapchat so that it wouldn't be such like quality. Yes, I do remember this happening. Yeah. They had a name and everything and they and they were very proud of it. And it was just a pixel and now they're doing more of it. So also Samsung. And Samsung as well. So great. That's coming to the forefront. Um there is a feature called pause point . Yes. It's an interesting implementation. What you've probably already seen on the iPhone is screen time, where you can specifically decide to limit the number of minutes, let's say in a day that you can spend on a certain app. I mean Google has this too though. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you yes., digital well being When you get to the end of that timer, it kicks you out the app, you can't open it anymore. Or unless you decide to bypass it, whatever. This is a new version of that that is a little bit more of a 50-50 split. It it's you open the app that you want to have restrictions on. And then it shames you into closing the app. Once you're in it, it pops up this pause screen and it it tells you like just r remember why you're here, remember what you meant to do when you opened your phone. And I think some of the examples were like you can scroll through pictures of your head or something while you remember. There was like a cooldown timer first. Yes. Like twenty seconds or something. I don't know if after that then it shows you pictures of your loved ones.. Yeah So like think of who you're disappointing here as you doom scroll. The one that was like, have you can have you thought about your goals? Yeah. Like I know you're about to open subway servers, but have you thought about grinding right now instead? Yeah. So don't you want to be a productive person? It is a different take on limiting your screen time. Uh I don't know. I I'm not gonna use that either. I like it. I know that you're very anti these . I guess if I was someone who was already trying to rely on screen time, I would find this maybe refreshing or at least interesting and different. I'd try it. I'll report back in a like a little bit. I the digital well being restrictions literally do nothing for me. Same. I think they mentioned something about it also restarting your phone to like disable it or something. So like another thing to have to bypass it. It makes it harder. Yeah. Um I don't think it's like hard this will stop me. I'm not gonna lie. I thought if I was a Google lawyer, that whole section would have made me sweat bolts. Because like because like six weeks ago, Google lost a ginormous court case that they can be found liable for making addicting products. They got sued because of YouTube's algorithm being too addicting. Alice, you think that the different parts of Google talk to each other? As soon as like a Google employee was like, do you ever feel like you're using your phone without thinking about it? Or like you unconsciously pull out your phone? I was like, that's kind of uh you admitting it's a little addictive. Yeah. But it's fine because now we can watch YouTube in the car while we listen, the product people make things the lawyers lawyer it out. That's their problem. Product people are like, I'm just gonna make this. I feel like there's a couple apps that are really associated with opening it and then mindlessly scrolling and then forgetting how much time you spent. And those are Instagram , TikTok and Twitter. Yeah. You're so right. And now you can do less of that. Or you could just uninstall it. Or just bypass all of it. The whole thing of this product is like you have this impulse to open your phone and they want to make you wait like 10-15 seconds to just like see if that's actually what you want to do, right? Do you know the other thing in American society that you employs that tactic? Firearms sales. In like a lot of states, if you w buanyna a gun, they make you wait like three to ten days to be like, are you sure you actually need a gun for a cool down? I was like, that is a weird thing to like to use the gun strat for. I guess it's an impulse buy for maybe the wrong reasons. Exactly. I think we should have that for microtransactions. We should have a little cool down timer. Yeah, I wonder, can you put this per you have to be able to put this per app, right? Yeah. So I can like set this on I don't know, like my text messages or something. Why would you want to put it on text? Not that I would want to, but you could in theory. No. I actually like this feature because I like you Mariah, I've tried these digital well-being like timer block things and it just doesn't work. Like I can very easily just unlock it, put my fingerprint, whatever. Um giving me that little slight pause to be like, are you sure I think that's gonna work? Because I'm gonna be like, no, you know what? You're right. I'm I don't wanna do this. It's fine. Like I have that tick, and this will stop me from doing that tick. I feel like everyone has the moment where they're on their phone and they're like they snap out of it. They're like, why am I here? What is it? Where what are we doing? I think that's that that's valid because people they get to that point and it's been like ten minutes and they don't realize what they were just doing. Yeah. Because I also think there's a lot of people who have the screen time thing set, but the muscle memory is just to open it and immediately bypass it. Yeah. And so you're in anyway. Now this will interrupt you before you get to that point of ten minutes later being like, Why is it dark outside? So it's it's different. Yeah. It's different. What are you what app are you putting this on? Me personally? Yeah. Oh, I have just this whole thing called like discipline. Okay. Okay. Where I just don't. Well if I have something to do, I do that. I just maybe it's just me. But if I've pulled out my phone to do a task, I'm pretty focused on like getting to do that task. And then maybe I'll doom scroll. But how long are you doom scrolling for? Like you don't fall down a rabbit hole and just wake up twenty minutes later? Uh of course I'm going to be done with the task. You're just chilling on the couch. It's not gotten to the point where it's like, boy, do I need a feature to show me pictures of my pets or something. Yeah. So I I don't know. Maybe I'll get there. I'm like halfway between you guys. Like I never Doom scroll for for more than likety five seconds, but when I'm having a bad no discipline day, it is sort of like I do forty five second doom scrolls once every like six minutes. Yeah. You know, like so it's okay. We're built different. And you know, that's fine. See with me, I'm like one or the other. I can either scroll for like forty-five seconds and be like, yeah, I'm done. Or some days I will get on the couch and I'm like, I'm not doing nothing tonight but scrolling. Like that's it. My next two hours are gonna be down this TikTok rabbit. If it sees you scroll for like whatever, let's say you're in that app for like 30 seconds. You could probably show the UI, but maybe it'll let you set the time. That just reminds me. Isn't there a thing on the iPhone? Sorry, this is a tangent. Um, that tells you you're holding the phone too close to your eyes. That was another one. No. What? I think Marlena tried that once and I I don't know how I feel. It's supposed to be close back up. It's supposed to protect you and probably a lot of younger people who are just like this. Yeah. Who are holding it right up to their face. And maybe if you do that too much, that's bad for your eyes. So just sort of to not do that so much. Yeah. I think the one other big feature here in Android is airdrop support coming to way more devices. So Airdrop and Android are now compatible essentially, at least, well, in both directions, I think. And it is out the gates now for S26 series, Pixel 10s, Pixel 9s, Pixel 8A, OppoFind X9 series, and find N6, Vivo X300 Ultra, and coming soon to a bunch of others, including my one plus fifteen. How long do you think that is? I have no idea. I'm not hold I'm not crossing my fingers. I I I literally use blip for that now. I'm not like reliant on it, but it is neat that that is one of the things breaking down the ecosystem wall. It's weird I don't see the pixel six on this list. Yeah. Well , older phone. Oh yeah, all the way back to 8A. That's the like oldest one. It's not bad. I wonder why. It can't be like a hardware limitation . I don't know. You know, it's funny when we did that, like shooting every single iPhone photo uh from every generation from 17 to 1. Yeah. Getting the photos off of the iPhone was really easy from the iPhone seventeen down all the way to a certain phone where airdrop was no longer a feature. Which phone? This is random trivia question. Which phone do you think was the first one that I couldn't just airdrop it to myself . iPhone seven. I wanna say I'm just gonna say eight. Eight? I don't actually remember exactly which one. But it was like the four S. It was like really far. Okay. I got really far. And Andrew had to go from like plugging them into the computer. That's crazy. Have you ever had to root around in like the um iPhone folders on like a PC before? That's what we had to do for the first time. It was really tough. Yeah. Rough. So okay. How many people here use Android Auto? That was the other big update. I do. Every day. Pretty big deal. Android Auto got a really big update, probably bigger than the rest of the updates to Android itself. Um the aesthetics, the visual updates. So it's got this lane guidance now, it has this 3D view with way more detailed topography and mapping stuff, overpasses, bridges., all the time It looks more like stuff. If you took Apple Maps and like Tesla maps and make them had a baby. Yeah. And now this has a lot of that too. It's funny, it feels like it was inspired by some of those like social media posts that are like putting Apple Maps and Google Maps side by side. So now it's got it's got all of that. Uh and it also has way more features like the ability to watch full screen 60 fps videos in whatever screen is in your car that has Android Auto on it. But I think that's only when you're parked and probably specifically for electric cars, like when you're charging. I really hope so, because otherwise it makes no sense. I'm gonna test this immediately. It's a good idea. I'm gonna find out. Do you have an electric car? No. No, but like I have Android Auto in my car. So you're gonna like park it and sit there and watch a YouTube video. I wanna see if it even knows if I'm in park. It probably does. It has to be smart. Yeah. Well it has GPS, so it'll know if you're moving or not. It's smart enough to at least it turns down my media when I'm in reverse, so it probably knows if I'm in park or not. So they did have a UI thing where when you switch into drive, it moves that video off screen and continues playing the audio in the background. That was cool. That was cool. That's the thing I have the most questions about. Because one, if it's Android Auto, not like built into the car, how does it know you switched into drive? Yes. Like your your phone doesn't know that your car's switched in a drive. Yeah. You didn't start driving it. Two, I thought background audio play was a YouTube premium feature. If it's if it's on a non premium account, does it just pause? That's a good question. I think the YouTube premium play was only when you like lock the screen and the screen turns off. Yeah, so if I'm watching a video on my screen, turn the screen off, the video pauses. But it's playing on the car screen. Yeah. Which never turns off. Uh but it does hide the video. Yeah. It hides it over and the UI thing, but you know, in the in the phone world, that's kind of the equivalent of like turning the screen off, maybe that's weird. I'm not really sure how that works yet. We gotta test that. Didn't they say it was with m like certain partners? Maybe that's how it knows that the cars in parking stuff. Yeah, it was. I think there was like 16 different brands. Yeah, something like that. We'll have to see. Yeah. But I I am curious to see how effective that is. Um, but yeah, immersive navigation with redes igned visuals and yeah, in the car. You can do zoom on the screen in the car. That part was crazy. Are you gonna be zooming in the car? I've never I've never wanted to do that. You can do that in Tesla's already. I've also never wanted to do that in my Tesla. Uh long time. Never wanted to do it. I assume that's also audio only. No. Video while driving? Is it not while driving? I don't think I think that should also be they didn't say no. They didn't clarify. But it should also be well parked. It should be, but it probably is. Um but yeah, taking a meeting in the car on that car screen. They made an interesting point. They said that the the speakers in your car for most people are the best speakers you own. Dude, I've never thought of it that.. Alice, I knew I want to hear your take on this. But my first reaction to that was like, that might be true for a lot of people. Yeah, it is definitely true for a lot of people. Unfortunately. So now that that line with Paris Hulton of like, my car is my personal movie the ater. At first that was really cringy, but then I'm like, I mean the screen's not good, but it is the it is the best speakers you have. So I would I would say that's accurate. I would say so. But why would you watch a video on like a little four So the video part gets weird because the Bluetooth lag is sometimes pretty dramatic. Like I don't want to watch a movie with a second and a half of lag to the speakers. So then I guess I do want to watch it on the screen in the car, but that's never a good screen. Ever, ever . So I don't know how I feel about watching a movie in the car. But if you're charging and you're sitting there with an EV for forty five minutes, maybe waiting for a charger and then it's a slow charge, whatever, it's a way to burn the time. Yeah. Ellis is gonna watch Dune on the big screen in the car. That sounds pretty fun. Oh just like uh uh you know, when you're learning how to do audio stuff, especially music stuff, like a big part is learning how to make your mixes translate to a car. A car test baby. You want to like check stuff in a car? Because car speakers are like universally the weirdest. Like this, like the way something sounds in a studio, it'll sound kind of similar in a lot of speakers, and then in a car, it'll sound completely different somehow. And so yeah, definitely hearing. But I guess compared to almost any sound bar, probably a car is like better. Yeah. Most people only have sound bars in their home. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. That's sad. Way to bum me out . So big Android update Android auto update coming. The last piece of the puzzle though is Gemini Intelligence, which of course they're probably gonna talk way more about at Google IO. Yeah. Uh but we did get some new intelligence features. They kept calling it an in what did they say? An intelligence It's not an operating system article. Right. It's an intelligence. Intelligence system. It's an intelligence system. Okay. So what's new? So what's the intelligence system? Okay. There are more agentic features from Gemini. It can take action for you through your apps and use your apps for you . And also some smaller things like auto fill, like uh better speech to text, where it removes a lot of the filler words and you can speak in two different languages and it'll it'll work at the same time. Those were probably the best use cases of these new features. I think the smallest ones were the best ones. Like they should have leaned hard into those because that's like everyday life things versus their weird examples that I'll show you. I'm sure you'll bring up, but like using Gemini to book concert tickets or something is just insane behavior. That was my okay, that was my take. So I tweeted this. I tweeted just a screenshot of the Google slide that just said book two floor seats to this concert. And then in the video, the person just clicks it and then that's the end of the interaction. And they're like, Yep. Yep. Got the tickets. What? No. That's not how this works. That's also not even how I want it to work. I want to shop around a little bit. I actually want to engage with this. Yeah. Pick the seats I want. Pick the best deal. Like there are there's way more nuance to it. Now I tweeted this and Dieter replied, he said, Well there's only so much we could fit in a sizzle reel. Of course Gemini Intelligence leaves the user in control for the final checkout process. He linked the article that describes it, but I also don't see anything about the final checkout process in here. So I'm curious to see what the rest of the checkout process looks like. Because like if they're showing this while you're driving your car, they're showing you can do all of this while you're doing other things, how thorough could it really be? That's the other thing is how much do you trust it? Because look, I 've grown up now in the age of AI making lots of mistakes. Old. And it's getting better, yes. But I'm very familiar with AI hallucinating things and making lots of mistakes. So when when people say like booking airplane tickets is a big screen activity. I think what they really mean is like, I want to make sure I'm doing this right and actually getting what I want here. And doing a single button press in Gemini and then maybe two or more steps in a checkout process still doesn't feel like quite enough. It feels like when people have like a Google Home or a different like home device and they're like, I don't know, buy me this thing and there's no follow up. It just feels very just like I want it now. Yeah. For some people that's gonna be fine because they don't care which version they just bought or how much it cost or whatever or how how fast the delivery is going to be or any of the other steps, but yeah. I think I don't feel like I would do that. This is just going to be weird too because there's so many concerts where you end up like waiting in a queue, you know, like you have three hours of waiting before. There's not even gonna be any tickets left anyway. Exactly. It's yeah, Gemini scalp tickets. Gemini's gonna be on ticket master, like refreshing like the rest of us. I think they need to come up with better examples. So they had a couple others. Yeah. One of them was uh look at the syllabus and buy all the textbooks required for the semester. No. I'm like Ah man, I don't know. I just uh it's not fun to shop for for the best deal textbooks, but I don't want to just buy the default. You know who can just pay anything? A student. Yeah, yeah. I really I think I'm gonna look at the listing and then go look on eBay or look on Facebook Marketplace for last year's semester like students who are selling it. Like I I don't know. No, just wait till you get to class, ask who has the ebook. Yeah. And then get the drive link. Yeah. I am very interested in the demo they had for the food um delivery where they were like, you know what I order from the restaurant? Send me that, but double it. You know what? That one might work for me. That one was close for me. That one was the closest because I do have I have a restaurant near me and I have two things , one or two things that I always swap between and order from there. And I have this whole ritual where if I'm like 15 minutes from home, like, do I feel like cooking today? Not really. I will, not while I'm driving, but at a red light, I'll open the Uber Eats app and go put in the order and and go for pickup and then when I'm at a certain light, the same exact light every single time, which is exactly eight minutes away, I hit order at checkout. Oh, and then when the light turns green, I know that when I arrive they're f finishing my order. That's so crazy. This is that well timed. Yeah. So this is a routine enough thing that in theory I could just be driving in the car and just say, Hey gee, order the thing. Yeah. And uh it could do it. Which I think could be helpful. There's been times where I've been on like a road trip and I'm like I am driving still and I can't stop because this is like a nine hour drive. And it would be nice if my food was waiting for me at a future destination. But I that's pretty infrequent. And also I guess it's picking this information, I assume, from your email or from texts or like receipts. I would imagine that you pass orders as well, right? What's up? I would imagine past orders as well. Yeah, but from the yeah that's what I'm saying. Is it pulling the information from your email? It has to be pulling it from somewhere, because how else would it know? Like it doesn't have access into DoorDash or does it? I think it's Gmail. It has it has access into wallet, Gmail, photos, and some other Google services. But they did say they were partnering with Select Food and DoorDash and someone else. So some kind of backdoor into DoorDash, I'm not sure. Before they did all the featury stuff, they did the um sort of that sort of like sizzle reel, you know, that intro cinematic. And uh a lot of the features they were sort of talking about in that seemed to be almost like open claw-y, like when the command was like keep an eye on this merch thing, that's the kind of thing that in order to do accurately, I would assume it would need to get prompted twice a day, three times a day in the background, which is like sort of what an open claw product is for. But they never actually said like it can do heartbeat style Agentic. Agentic And so I'm curious if that's sort of like something they're planning on adding. I've had GPT do that sort of thing before. You can say like just recurringly do this and let me know. Yeah. Okay . Yeah. And it would like twice a day give me a like a notification of the thing that it checked again. Yeah. Oh, interesting. So it's possible, but yeah. An another example here was uh buying what was it, buying all the things like to urs with no Oh, is it just like look at my Expedia like booking and like book a tour for five people or something? Yeah. Like just pick the best one, Google. Yeah. You might get like the one that has open seats, which isn't very good because the good one is full. I I'm not really sure what it's gonna pick for you. I I want to do that. No . I don't think the technology will ever get to a point where I will have it plan an entire trip and me just be like, sounds great. It seems like it's the example every time. They're like, I want to go for a trip. Let's plan a trip to France. And it just starts doing stuff. I I simply cannot imagine doing that. But that's the future of Google's ads business. I believe it. We're already seeing like the birth of the the AI SEO sort of industry of these ad agencies that are like, we will boost your rankings on GPT and Claude and stuff like that. And I think this is the future baby is like buy this thing. And then the AI goes, who paid me money to say buy this thing? I I feel like I want the AI to kick in like one step later in the process. Like I want to do some of the research and I want to decide which exact item I'm going to buy and then throw the AI in. Which, to be fair, that's one of the things is the improved autof ill. Yeah. Which it's going to be able to take information from what it knows about you, from your wallet, from your photos. Let's say it needs a random dri ver's license ID number or something for some random purchase. I don't why it would do that. Your passport. Your passport ID. That was one of the examples. But like it could throw that in there because the improved autofill, it can take care of that for you. So that's the point where the AI I think would be very useful for me. Yeah. But I'm looking forward to that. That autofill thing looked really dope. Because I spend way too much time filling out different addresses. Even with the autofill by Chrome and all this stuff, it still takes too long. Yeah. So if there's a way to just have AI do all these generic things, go for it. I feel like the thought of this would freak my parents out. Like I don't think there's some people who I feel like would not want to have their personal information. Um I assume there's ways to opt out of all of these or is there? You would hope so. But I don't know. I think it would be opt-in. Well at least the the way it's been treated so far is I had to tell it to access my Gmail and all that other stuff. So it was opt-in. I had to give it access to everything. Yeah. My calendar, my Gmail, all that. But I mean, hey, it's there already. Use it. I've taken a picture of my password before. That's the thing though. Here's the thing. I have my current driver's license that I've taken a picture of. I also definitely have a picture of my old driver's license. Is the driver's license number the same? Maybe it is. If it tries if it pulls from the old one, is that gonna be a problem? I don't I don't know. Well that was my question with they had an example with magic q and they were like oh I'm going on a hike and I was going back and forth with this person and they asked they text me the address and with magic q I could just press the button and send them the address. And that has not worked for me once. Yes. Every time because it's like I'm going back and forth with the person and we're discussing multiple places. Like, oh, do you want to go here? What if we meet there? What about this place? And every time that magic Q button that pops up gives me one of those places and not the one we settled on. That is that's why I don't trust it. I don't trust it. That's one of those things. It's like those little things like that where it's not gonna understand that we I just said, Yeah, let's do that one instead of putting in a whole address. Yeah. And it just doesn't understand. And then when it gets it wrong, it's that one little thing where it's like now we don't want to trust it. Where the person literally is like, where are we meeting? Oh, magic cue. I just send the response. And then you get there and they're like, I'm fifteen miles away because you sent me an address on the case. Yeah, they went to the wrong airport like day. Oh my god. So TBD on testing all of that stuff, but the last thing we got a little bit of a sneak peek of uh is Google Book. Yes. Google Book is they they hyped it a lot like it's a brand new concept, but to me it felt a lot like Chrome OS plus . Okay. It's it's a Chromebook with Chrome OS. It has Android apps. It has a premium build as they say and it'll have a little light bar. It'll be made by one of several OEMs, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asus , and it runs this more Gemini centered version of Chrome OS where it has essentially the magic pointer on the top of it, which you wiggle the the click the cursor, and it becomes a little multimodal portal into Gemini. You can click a photo, learn about it. You can click several photos, combine them together with nano banana. You can ask it to rephrase some text that you highlight with the cursor. It's just that your cursor becomes this portal into Gemini. It's a cool concept. But why a new product category? Yeah, why is that confused about? This is just Chrome. It's just Chrome OS. It's just an update. And the Chrome OS Chromebooks, like the more recent ones that were really good, already could run Android apps. Yep. In the Play Store. Yeah. So I'm like, why why do a whole rebrand? I think there may be a distinction between emulating the Play Store from your phone and actually running the app on the laptop. Okay. Same thing with like you can use apps that are on your phone and access files that are on your phone from the laptop, but I think that might be a slight distinction here where it's actually running the app on the laptop instead of running it or mirroring it from what your phone is running. But then how does it have the data from my phone ? Um some other extra connection between your laptop. Okay. I don't think that part is new. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, now it's like, oh I'm writing an email. Let me just attach a file that's from my phone. You can just drag it from your phone. So this might be a stupid question, but did they kill Chromebooks? So this is just a new addition. They never mentioned Chromebooks, so I assume they didn't Chromebooks. But this is a new concept, Google Book. Okay. I do like the idea. Like when when I saw it, I was like, oh that's cool. Like premium hardware. It's the same reason I was excited for like the old Chromebook Pixel. Like the nice premium laptops that are tied into all my Google stuff. I already have the Android phone, the Pixel phone, whatever, like just put it all in one place. I like that idea. I'm just confused about the whole new branding around Google Books specifically. Who is this for? Who's who's buying this? That's what I want to know. That's another good question because we kind of know what a Chromebook is. And a Chromebook historically has been a cheaper like entry into the Google ecosystem for students and a lot of people who just need like a web browser and that's basically it and they have some apps on their phone. A more premium version of that means higher price tag, potentially higher performance, more interesting features. But what does it do? If you're having a higher price tag, I need it to do real work things. It's an AI machine. Is there a price point for this either? I didn't know. The first laptops designed for Google Gemini intelligence from the ground up. Does that mean that it can run Final Cut or Adobe Premiere or Definitely ? I really doubt that. Or even outside of like the creative uh video editing workflow. Like can it do I don't know. No. Like this this is not it doesn't feel like a competitor to the MacBook Neo. Like it it doesn't even feel like a similar because that's like their budget item and this feels completely different category. This is the I want to use Gemini more than the average person Chromebook. Which is me. I would like to do that. But you need a whole separate computer. That's my point. Yeah. Like I should be able like why can't I just install an app on my current computer that does all this? Yeah. Why do I need to do that? Why is this not a software update to an existing Chromebook? Yeah. That's that's what I would like to know. Like what is the benefit of me buying into this hardware system? Because it's like I'm buying a whole new laptop. The low bar. Where else are you gonna get the glow bar? It just glows. It just glows. It just looks nice. Alright. If it literally just glows, I'm here for it. I think it literally just a nice glow. Aren't you just like that's not the only thing it does? And then they like Did they say that? I I could be misremembering. Oh god. It seemed very ominous. I was taking notes, so I might have missed some parts of that, but it seems like it just glows. If it literally just glows, I'm here for it. That's so just why not? Why not? Yeah. But I'm just like I'm just confused about this this whole thing. Yeah. I'm not sure what the use case is and I really want to know how much this is gonna cost. I will try to get my hands on a Google book. I don't know who's gonna make the first one. I don't know if it's gonna be HP or Samsung.. It will be HP Asus or Samsung. Probably HP. Yeah. We'll see if I can get my hands on Google book. Well, what was the first one? Wasn't it Acer? The C one forty or something like that? C R forty eight? That one. That was unbranded. Wait. I don't think they ever said like an OEM. I thought it was. It was literally a logoless matte black featureless laptop. Just what you want. Oh no, that was Acer. That was Acer. Acer C R forty. Okay, Acer made it. Was there a logo? Are you looking at pictures of though? Yeah, I'm at pictures. I don't see any logo. This is like the first ever Chromebook. Oh. You can see how they got me into Chromebooks because they made a featureless matte black sleek Chromebook to start it off and I was like, all right, I think I could get into this. And then you tried to use it. Yeah. Yeah. It has like one gig of RAM in it. Yeah. So I loved D books. I used one for all throughout college. It was awesome. But then I graduated and I had to do things for work and I was like, now I can't use this computer. I need a new computer. Yeah. And if I'm gonna spend like, I don't know, let's say it's what, fifteen hundred for a premium. They kept saying premium. So I'm assuming it's gonna be expensive. It's really premium. Right? How expensive too much. I picture when I say premium, I pictured a thousand. A thousand and slightly I mean that is premium, but I mean you get a MacBook Air for that. For this ? And they didn't announce any other specs. But the MacBook Air don't jiggle, baby . It doesn't have a glow bar. Oh, I I mean the glow bar. Premium could mean anything. The the typical Chromebook range is like two fifty to five fifty. Yeah. Six fifty maybe. But this isn't a Chromebook, Marquez. This is a premium hardware great. Right, premium hardware. But that could just mean more metal than plastic. That could mean like a better keyboard deck and a brighter screen and stuff like that. It doesn't necessarily mean like high-end specs and tons of RAM. I think that's exactly what it means. I think it just means metal. Yeah. Yeah. $7.99 . $7.99? I don't know. Chromebook and see what they actually do differently. Yeah. That's what we'll see. We'll test it on video. We need David to test this. David, come home. Speaking of David, you know what he's not here for? Trivia . Nice. But Mariah will have to wait, so you get my plan for. You played for Andrew last time? Yeah. So you'll keep playing for Andrew. You're in David's seat. You're in David's seat. You should play for David. Okay, sorry. And I'll play for Andrew. Okay, you play for the person whose seat you are in. Yeah, yeah. I'll play for Marquez. That's fair. You play Adam will play for Andrew. Do you want to play for David? No, I want to play for me. I want to play for me. I need points. I need points. Okay, this is gonna be a price is right rules question. Please go closest without going over. 1799. Sony is known for choosing very bad names for their products because the names are overly complicated and filled with crazy numbers. Do you have another web Google has the opposite problem, where their names are so simple they often overlap with one another and become confusing. That's funny. Yeah. They do do that. How many Google products and services have the word book . Is there a limit? What's the biggest number it could be? Prices right rules. Price is right rules. And I'm just going to give you guys one hint right now . The Chromebook Pixel is only one. Even though the 2013 and 2015 Chromebook Pixels are different devices. I'm counting those as one device because they have one Wikipedia page. Yeah. Okay. Um these are products and services. So remember, just to kick it off, there is now the Google Book and Google Books. And these count, like these current releases. You're adding these. Yeah, yeah. Google like I said, both Google Book and Google Books is on the list. David, you're not gonna get any points today. I'm sorry, brother. David is somewhere yelling at his phone because he actually knows the answer. This is the one he was made for. I'm not even gonna write anything down yet. The service does not have to be alive still. No, it does not. Oh no. Chances are it is not alive. That's also true statistically speaking. And remember, there can be letters immediately preceding or immediately succeeding the word book. It can be blank, black, blank, book, or book, black black, blank. Like book, lighter. Okay. All right. Well we'll think about that. We'll try to be prices right accurate. Answers at the end like usual. We'll be right back. Support for the show comes from Shopify.

All right, so on the production calendar, we have had this day there for a while, because this day is podcast recording with no David, no Andrew. This day comes every year. And you know, us, we thought, what better than a game? And today for the first time, I have my compatriot Rufus, who came up with this amazing game many weeks ago, and we have put it into effect. Do you guys remember when we did Family Feud and we asked the waveform audience to answer a bunch of questions? Oh yeah, we did. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, we bring you today. Uh-oh . An even better version of it called it didn't time this one very well. We're doing a Reddit Family Feud. Oh, yeah. That's like Reddit Family Feud. We found nine Reddit posts on Reddit.com that had answers that we thought were funny , interesting, bad, uninformed, informed, whatever you want it to be. That's just Reddit. You just described Reddit. We gave them to I don't remember which AI model. It might have been Alibaba's Quen. Quen, I think. I think I think it was Quen. We gave him to Quen and we said, Quen, perform sentiment analysis and let us know what the most common or upvoted answers to these questions asked on Reddit were. So the way this game is going to work is we're going to read you the Reddit post. You guys are going to have to guess what is either the most commonly answered thing or the most commonly upvoted thing. And we'll let you know before each question. This is a this is an upvotes one. This is a a a sentiment analysis one. And uh I'm just gonna give you a quick example. This first question we're gonna do is why do people hate Apple so much . The number ten answer on the board, uh so the this is a most commonly answered one. The number ten answer is lack of innovation year over year. Um nine people. That was number ten. That was the least. That was like of the top ten the least answer one. This is like daily tens, but in real life. Yeah. One . So if I had answered that, I would get how many points? So I'm glad you said that because I was about to bring that up. The last time we did Family Feud, we used a linear, straightforward uh answering system that I think we stole from I can't remember how they do scoring on the TV show, but um you know like if you answer the 10th answer you get one point. If you answer the top answer you get 10 points. This time we said increase chaos by a lot. And the points are based on how common that answer was. So if you had gotten that answer, lack of innovation year over year, you'd have gotten nine points out of it. If you had gotten the number one answer for this question, which I will not read right now , you would have gotten 58%. Oh my god. Damn. This could get out of hand. This will get out of hand. This will get out of hand. Oh my god. That's kind of the point. Okay. Um, so the way we're gonna do it is you hit your buzzer, it locks everyone else's buzzers, and then um you get the chance to answer. You'll either get it right or you'll get it wrong. If you get it right, you get to make another guess. Um and if you get it wrong, then it gets unlocked. Then someone else can buzz in and steal it. I'm gonna go nine for nine. You guys are not gonna be able to answer. The segment will be over in about three minutes. And if you guys are somehow like prime brain redditors, like you just can guess what Redditors are doing. Then we'll we'll turn on the you could get three guesses and then you're not gonna guess on that question anymore. But I think we should be good as is. We may need to test this out and just see what the I don't know how to decide who I guess I've done a good amount of Reddit in my day. Yesah, so why do people hate Apple so much? Someone buzz in though. Me. Adam. Why do people hate Apple so much? Because it's expensive. It's expensive. Ding ding ding. That's yeah, number one answer. Number one answer. Fifty eight points to Adam.. Yeah You can say yes again. Catch up. That's crazy. Eat my bubbles. All right. Alright. Hmm. Oh, we're just you just. No, no, you had the you got it right. So you got to go you don't have to buzz again. Oh, okay. So I can just keep going. Okay, okay. Um so then the next most common answer by Redditors is because it's ass. Because it's bad. Because I don't think anything . Oh, sorry, was that preemptive? It was, but Mariah will let you answer. Um can I say they break easily? Lack of repairability. That's funny. So that's people no, yeah. One. But Marquez, you did n't you did say not repairable. Yeah. Which is the third most high said thing on this question. There you go. Wait, so did I not get any points? No. Wait, you just said yes to all of that and then No, I didn't revive. It was Yeah. Are we still going? Yeah, are we still going? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I think Marquez got that right. Okay, sorry. The board is yours. Uh user hostility. Explain what you mean by that. Uh ecosystem wall. Yep. Now walled garden ecosystem. Number five answer. Number five? Twenty-nine points. Interesting. Um what about like uh not available in my er yeah, not available in my region. Unfortunately I do not see that. No , they're too global. They're trying to get themselves into every review. They're ug ly the design. I feel like Reddit would say that. I feel like they would. No, people think they look great. Sims. Lack of customization. That's a good one. Give me that. Give me that. No. No? Come on. Redditors. Marquez . Uh lacking in like up dated specs. They never have the biggest batteries or the highest numbers or any of that. No. No silicon carbon, you know. Okay, wait. Uh hm m. Let's see, let's see. No games, bro. No games. Oh no way. Number four to Reddit for thirty two points. Gamers spend twelve hundred dollars on GPU alone counter argument. Sure. Thanks. GPT can't afford gamers cannot afford that. A lot of these are you're you're answering these questions as if the Redditors would give the actual answers. Yeah. But a lot of these are just responses. Yeah. Okay. Well it's things like a a lot of these are I don't care. I'm gonna talk about something else. I could have said that. Okay, so then I'm gonna I got that right. So think about if you said why do Apple products suck so much? Why you know, what is the the the second highest answer on the board would be Your mom. Not quite. Mariah I see you itching to buzz in. I don't know. They don't like Tim Cook. No. Okay. Would it be they don't suck? We didn't buzz in. I just buzz. Which one you want to give 'em. Oh, I thought this is an example. I just give it to s give it to six. Okay. There's there's the six answers. The number two answer on the board. It s'orts of a slight variation on that, but it's slight enough that I think it deserves its own thing. But next time let's make sure we're using the buzzers, folks. Okay. Got it, got it, got it. I need to think like a Redditor. Wait, so what was your most recent answer? What'd you just say? It doesn't suck. It doesn't suck. And the answer on the board was build quality and reliability is actually excellent. So we have both sides. We have we it we already say like Mariah. So we have it doesn't suck, but do we already we already have it sucks, right? Question mark? But why it's why does it suck? Doesn't matter. They just don't like it. Not on the border. No? Seriori is goaded. Not on the board. No . I don't think anybody thinks that. I think they would say something about the pretentious attitude of presenting everything as revolutionary when it's not. That uh I would say that is seven. Damn. Tribalism slash platform wars, that feels that feels on on on point. Can you say like explicitly better than Android? Nothing? That might have I might have given you tribalism for that, but what was this Reddit post again? What was the question? It was why do people hate Apple so much? Right. I thought that was an example question. Yeah, that doesn't count. Were we getting points for that? Yeah. We were getting points. And it's a closer game than you would think. Oh . Really? Whoops. Okay. Let's do it. Oh boy. Oh. Guys, after that first question , you said this is a close game? Adam, you are in second place with 90 points. No. Marquez, you are in first place with 110 points. Okay. And Mariah holding up the caboose with zero points. It's okay, Mariah. The questions you guys left on the board were uh number nine. People think hating popular things makes them smart. That's number eight was an HP elite book comparison . And number two, the variation on they don't suck is people who hate it haven't actually used . That's a good one. By the way, 14 people commented about the HP Elite book. Wow. What forum was this on? Uh Reddit.com. Oh okay. Oh yeah, we should read the subreddit. We're probably talking the neo or something. Guys, this next question. Okay. Okay. Yeah. No. Wait. I'm ready. Guys, let's just give it up for Rufus. This is this is one of the favorite we've ever done. Um kicking off this next question. Very similar. This is on R slash computers. Computer . Why does everyone hate Windows eleven? The ads, bro. Number ten answer. Ads in the OS. That's number ten? Yep. There's worse. Okay. The bugs . The bugs is a good one . That is number eight. Oh damn, okay . Really not the performance worse than Windows 10. Mm-hmm. Okay. Um the aesthetics . It's not very clean or polished or good looking. No, I'm gonna give it to you. Okay. All right. Privacy . Yep. Privacy is yeah, what number is that? Four, five, the number five answer worth twenty-seven points. Damn right. Adam, you've controlled the board. Um okay, next up after privacy , the obvious answer is build quality. Uh this is Windows 11, which is an operating system. Yeah, it comes on laptops, does it not? It comes on everything. AI. We hate AI. AI is the number two answer. 38 points. She is officially here, folks. Nice. Right, you have control. Oh no. Uh we hate McAfee . Good answer. No. No one said that. Adam. Uh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh no, no, no. Bloatware? Bloatware and AI features were bundled into work . Okay, unfortunately, yes. Adam, I'm sorry. you You don Adam. Yeah, no, it's fine, yeah, whatever. No, Mariah gets the ghost though. She has control. No, I went wrong. I was wrong because I said the second. Oh, we're bundling it. Okay, okay, okay. Um man, I never thought I'd make it this far. Um We hate Windows eleven because of the we already s did we talk about the tiles? We said you said design or UI, right? I did. Tiles we we see in tiles on here? Star menu? Okay. We gotta we gotta explain this. Okay. Marquez, you said the design and we said no. However, UI changes are on here. But I do believe tiles was brought into the Windows picture in Windows 8. Yeah, that's old. That's old. So but honestly, just to make it a more competitive game, uh let's give the points. We're so back . David, I'm gonna make you proud myself Okay, Mariah. Mariah, you have the control of the board once again. The number one answer is still on the board, folks. That's right. I got this. I got this. I know what it is. We did not. What else is there? Right, I'm going to start in five seconds. We don't like the game hub. It's terrible. I don't see game hub. I know no one cares. We actually do like Windows . Good guess? That was my guess. Dang it. That was my guess. Unanimously hate it. There are no left turns in this one. Can you read the the thread again? The title of it?? Fred again Why does everyone hate Windows 11? Okay. Copilot. Mmm. Bundled into AI features. Uh he said it. Because they all use Macs and they're too dumb to learn Windows. I'm trying to think like a Redditor right now. Wait, okay. Great point. Think like a Redditor. Because Linux is better. Oh yeah. Ah should be there, but it's not. Ah. We miss Windows 10. These are all damn. We're better redditors than Redditors. Yeah, that's crazy. We're thinking too small. Okay, wait. What's that weird thing that like screenshots your whole history? We don't like copilot. Okay, never mind. No, that's um Is it not uh no? It's called recall. Recall is also written down in that same answer. Oh okay, okay. We've hit the number two answer like five times. We have no number one. Nope, still So num nowber we one'.re. going to be You're missing a few textbook classic Microsoft complaints. Oh, we said AI already. Uh because they didn't add I don't know. We don't like Microsoft now. System requirements. There are two answers on the board that involve Microsoft, but not it's a little too general. We don't trust Microsoft. No, it's still too general. What does Windows do that you hate? That I hate? Yeah. What does Windows do that you wish it didn't happen? Oh, because it doesn't Oh, that's different. I was gonna say it doesn't have all the Apple app What does Windows do that you wish it did not do? ble with random forced updates. Yes! Is that number one? Number nine. What? What number one? Number one's gonna be like three points. Something insane. What is number one? It has to do with Microsoft. Is it related to Microsoft? Yeah, wait. Okay, maybe we should brainstorm. Marquez, you said you said bugs, right? Earlier. I think that might be the number four answer. I think that 'cause it's talking about I think I yeah we can but he we already gave him an answer for it, so we can't give him double the points. That's true. What about Microsoft? So either somebody gets the specific stays on there. What do we not like about Windows eleven? Oh yeah, Windows eleven specific. Andrew's like screaming at home, right? This is Oh code drivers. Oh driver updates have gotten pretty good. But maybe perhaps what what about so explain? Minimum system requirements are always so high. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah, we'll give it to you. That's number one? No, the the number three answer was hardware requirements forcing e-waste from older comparable unsu pported PCs. Whoa. Shout out to Reddit for caring about e-waste. Redditors love the environment. That's awesome. We still don't have number one. That's insane. That's crazy. They're all banging on their keyboards right now. What's yeah? It's gotten too expensive. I think we're just damn it.

Different type of nomads. You already have the points. We literally cannot subtract one from your score. Also yes, that is what you said. Nomad implies you're traveling for digital nomad is digitally. No, that's that is a it's like Tron. The comments will agree with me. Okay. Um, what else? Uh won't bring it because How many answers do we have left? Yeah, well. What's left on a board? Five? The bottom five? Super quick tangent, just I before I forget, we were uh everyone was talking about the Google event after it it ended and someone was like, Yeah, I keep trying to do the this Gemini thing with voice and it doesn't work. When someone was like, Well do you think it do you think it trained with the voice? And I was like, Ben a Jezerit talking to Lisan Al Ghaiib. Well you gave Mariah the digital nomad. Then Mariah has the board and no one should buzz. I don't know, man. Why aren't we bringing laptops? Well, do you bring your laptops? What do you think the Reddit community responded to the prompt?

Different? Excuse you. Oh, I thought I thought we said that already. Excuse you. Wow. Okay, so now we have three answers left. Three answers left. The number three, nine, and ten answer was different. Not a lot of points left. Laptop. What are the Redditors think? It's because I brought my tower PCs . Solo travel. Number three response on Reddit would be Where are you going? Oh, like people are asking? Yeah. Now you're thinking with portals. Okay. Okay. Not on the board. Okay. Um I think we can switch. Are they like, why do you need it ? Use case scenario. I think we can sweep this one up. I think we have enough. Seems sweeping on your mind, Ellis. Interesting. I'm sorry, Ellis. I love you.

So R slash retcond is the subreddit for the Mandela effect, but it's different than the Mandelaect Eff subreddit because in the rules it says you have to approach this subreddit with the assumption that the Mandela effect is real and the past actually is changing. Okay . So it's pretty So that's like conspiracy theory? It's like it's conspira cy theory, but not like oh, what if these conspiracy theories are real? It's like this is happening to me. Got it.

Guys , the the someone asked r slash retcond , can your phone read your mind? Oh yeah. What did the conspiracy theorists of Reddit respond? They responded they have to be listening to you all the time. Yes, that's the number four answer. Phone listening through microphone slash AI pattern recognition. Which is a jeopardy thing. I know I'm mixing up my games, but everyone shut up. That's fine. King your photo ring your mind. But it just knows so much about you. Uh real. Two No, I think I think that might be the number two answer. Oh. Yeah. Coincidence slash algorithms are just really good at prediction. That's the number two answer. Jesus Christ, Mark. Yes,. famous Why does it think it's running in your mind? Um ad tracking, maybe that's just the number. Tracking. It knows where I am. How does it know? Is that the cu can we call that the number one answer? I don't know. No. No. No. No. No. What would what would so Honestly Mariah f<unk> it I'm giving you the number nine answer. The number nine answer is spiritual slash psychic abilities explanation. Yeah, these this is amazing. Basically from here on out, the number one answer is kind of reasonable, but everything else is crazy. Okay. What would what would Redditors re w what would a Redditor type into their keyboard? What was remind me of the prompt again, sorry. Can your phone read your mind on r slash retcond. Neuralink. Yeah, no number the number six answer .

Say more. Say more. So because they want to sell you things. No. Damn. Markets. I feel like I've seen this on Reddit a lot. This one time I was talking about something and then I got an ad for the personal story of phone showing exactly what they thought about was the number one answer on the board. We didn't give it to you earlier, but that was just two on the nose, Marquez quite a bit. The Michael Jordan of of Reddit guessing from the logo. Let's let's go one more guess from everyone here and then we'll wrap up this one. Alright, so this one is is my phone reading my mind? Yeah. Yeah. As answered by Reddit folk. All three of the remaining answers on the board are insane. Okay. The artificial intelligence is simulating a human mind. But we we cannot give you those points, unfortunately. So when we're just like, we're in a simulation. Yes, the number six answer. We are living in a Truman show-like simulation. Okay. Amazing, Mariah. You have control of the board for this last conspiracy theory. Name another conspiracy theory. One of these is another conspiracy theory, and I'll give you a hint. This one is for the girls. It's for the girls? Oh no. Birds aren't real. What are we what are we lying about? I'm not supposed to tell. Yeah, what'd you guys talk about? The last convention. What is Paltro conspiracies? Goop?

Or number seven answer, haptic feedback, reading energy vibrations through hands. The crystals. The frequencies. And the manifest. Holy crap. Okay. Okay. The point standings now are Mariah with 116 points at the back, Adam with 260 points in the middle, and Marquez with a whopping 368 points in the lead. Is this a tech podcast?

And that is not one here That is good. So bad. The bad phone. The Z flip one. I'm gonna think of like phones that were bust of the year. Like it's not gonna be this saga Solana, it's not gonna be upvoted a lot. But something is a lot of old stuff on this. Well it has to be a phone that people have old. This is not upvoted. This is how how red people actually wrote this down. Red hydrogen, oh yeah, this is not upvoted. How many people wrote it? Oh I was gonna say red hydrogen. Oh but nobody bought that, so that's not gonna be up there. Um start naming phones, man. What's a phone that a lot of people a lot of people bought it and a lot of people didn't like it. The Motorola Droid X . I love that phone. It was lumped in with Motorola droid series slash razors. Oh okay. That's one answer. Damn. What's that Windows phone? Not a R slash Android. Oh my god. Mandela effects. Right, you just got retcon. Android phone is the worst thing. Guys, I can uh we we can we can wrap this up if we feel like we're getting slow, but I will say number. I don't know what any Android phones are. Adam and Marquez, you guys were circling the drain earlier. Where when when LGG3 no damn LG Wing. I said that though. No one cares about the phone. LG G five. No. LGG1. LGG4. The number one answer on this. The G2G is the 30 G4 was sick. The G4? People said that it had bootloop issues. Oh the G4 was Yeah, it was Yeah, it was bad. I was gonna say G flex . The G5 had like the modular like pull out the battery thing. God damn. But the G4 was was that was number one. Okay. That was number one. Wow. Guys, I think we should wrap it here. There is no possible way. Oh wait, no, I could get I could get one. Although no one bought them. That's like Sony Experia one. Give it to him. All Sony Experia bones is the number ten answer. What? Who even knows those exist? Six people apparently. Six. This is a small thread. Damn. Okay. Okay, wow.. That's it That's all of them.

Okay . Well okay. Um I think so I won, right? Hear me out. We're combining our points. Ooh. Into one to beat . I don't I still win. You still you still wouldn't beat him. There's surely there's surely it's not possible. You would still be about 30 points short. Oh wow. Do you guys want to Okay Marquez, I have a proposition. I think we gotta wrap this game up and we'll we'll pick it up maybe as a segment in the next trivia extravaganza. Guys the lights are getting really weird today. Anyway, thank you for playing Reddit Family Food.

No one hit your buzzer because it'll mess up the computer. Oh. Is there another question? There is another question. It's also about Google. No . Guys, Google's official blog, the keyword, which is notoriously wrong about Google things all the time , um, has a convoluted and frankly confusing article about how Gemini got its name. I've read it several times and I'm still not sure where they got the name Gemini from. But you know what is not mentioned on this confusing article what Gemini was called when it was re first when it was first released. Because if everyone remembers, they changed the name to Gemini after a little bit. Oh I remember. I remember what was Gemini called upon its release? I know everyone's gonna be like, oh what it was released it was a chat bot, now it's like a different shut up. Like I don't care. Not that. Okay I don't care. Tiny man. Got it. Tiny man. What are those tiny guys doing? Yeah, they're they're stepping on your computer. They're inside my computer. They're working on the test. Yeah, they're working on anyway.

So take a seat and learn from the confessions of an elite athlete on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, welcome back to our last little segment here. Uh Chaos of the Game Show is fun, but we actually do have a little bit more tech to talk Yeah, we probably should before the game, not anything. For those of you who are dedicated, who are really making it this far, uh we do uh actually want to chat briefly about Fitbit Air, which is a new announcement technically from Google who bought Fitbit and then turned Fitbit into Google Health. And what wait, so what was Google Fit? So Google f well Google Fit is no more. And there was the the Fitbit app, which they moved into this beta, which was all this new stuff. It is now the Google Health app. Yeah. So the Fitbit Air, there's a new screenless uh we saw the leaks of this. We talked about it like two or three episodes before. There's screenless fitness tracker that is supposed to compete directly with the Whoop and all the other screenless fitness trackers, but the the Whoop is a big one. It's official now. It is it's really interesting. I think they're coming straight for Whoops lunch because I think the number one thing you'd probably hear from Whoop customers about what they don't like is that it's an it's a subscription. And it's it's not cheap. It's like $250 to $350 a year, depending on which subscription level you get. So the Fitbit is $99 uh unlike the Whoop, which was fifty, but that is in addition to a $9.99 per month subscription to Google Health premi um, which is actually not necessary to use the Fitbit. So you can use the Fitbit without the subscription, it does basic stuff, calorie tracking, heartbeats, stuff like that. But for all the features, ten bucks a month. You just don't get like the AI health coach and stuff. Yeah, and like the more detailed tracking and things like that. And workouts, automatic workout detection, all that fun stuff. So it is definitely undercutting the whoop price. And then for people who were thinking about getting a whoop or were thinking I don't want to spend as much as I am on the whoop, maybe I'll I'll move to the Google side of things. It'll work on iOS or Android. Which is crazy to me. Which is nice. That is weird. You know, obviously uh a lot of these things are locked to one side or the other. Pixel Watch is only going to work on Android, Apple Watch is only going to work on Apple side of the fence. But you know, these fitness trackers, working with both is nice. And it's got some nice features. So it's going to have a seven-day battery life roughly. You saw the different colors. There's like a Steph Curry special edition, but there's also a black one. You can charge it for five minutes to get one day of battery life. Clutch. It has a regular charger. It doesn't have like that the whoop charger. No, it's a whoop charger. A pin. Well, it has a proprietary charger. It has a proprietary charger. The boop charger is like a little puck that you can like slide onto the whoop itself. That is sick. It's really cool. I like that a lot. I will say when I was using it for a bit, I would slide it onto the whoop and then just like go about my day. That thing slaps into everything. Every corner you turn around, you're you're hitting that. But as soon as it's done, you take it off and it's right back to the end. Yeah, it's super dope that you don't even have to take it off to charge it. Yeah. Really clever. So uh fifty meters of water resistance, it should have a haptic alarm. There's like a bunch of th features you would expect in the Fitbit air. No notifications for Andrew though. No notifications. Sorry. Obviously no screen, no time. Um but yeah, as far as competing directly with the Whoop, it feels like this is just like, hey, do the same thing the Whoop does, give all the same information, but make it cheaper. I'm really excited for this because I've been using the Pixel Watch 3 for a bit and I was paying for the Fitbit premium and I had the whole AI beta coach thing this whole time. And I really liked it, but it required me to wear the Pixel Watch. And it's not that I don't like wearing the Pixel Watch, it's just that I also like wearing regular watches . So whenever I would wear a different watch, I all of a sudden wouldn't get my steps. I wouldn't get my sleep tracking. I wouldn't get all these things. And it's like it's not a big deal. Who cares? Whatever, it's not the end of the world. But it's just like a nice to have thing. And Fitbit to me was always that kind of product where you just put it on like when it first came out, it was just like a small little thing that you put in a strap, a band, and you can swap out the bands, just like this one. And it was like one of the first ones to do that and just give you like basic tracking stuff. And that's all I've wanted for so long. So I'm very glad that they're doing this. I'm just very confused that they're killing the Fitbit brand. Yeah. Which makes no sense to me. Like the problem. It's a Google thing to do. Yeah, that's fair. They're sort of like Fitbit is like it has such good brand Like, oh, it's the Fitbit. You know, like now they're turning it into Google Health with which has like a whole different set of implications and the product is still a Fitbit. Yeah, that's the Fitbit. But then you have to attach it to Google Health. Yes. Yeah. Not the Fitbit app. Like if I'm on an iPhone and I go to Best Buy and I buy a Fitbit, now I need to download a Google Health app, which hits different. Yeah. It's surprising as like a legacy brand that they would want to rename after how many years they have been Fitbit because like like you said, I don't think you know a boomer's gonna be like, what Google's tracking my stuff, even though Google's owned them for years. And they know what a Fitbit is, but they don't know what Google Health is or like, you know, all these other things. It feels like a big s unnecessary step maybe, but if they're trying to consolidate the brand as a whole for all their health stuff. I mean I get why they're doing it. It's just I feel like Fitbit has such good brand cachet. It does. Yeah, I think the one thing, so Whoops obviously already very popular and has been for a long time. And I think the biggest advantage I actually see between them now that I I plan on testing them both at the same time side by side and really and investigating and digging deep. You're like our little lab rat. Yeah, honestly, I'm just gonna wear them both. It's gonna be horrible. But the thing that Woop has going for it is there's a ton of accessories for it. Yeah. That aren't available, at least out the gate right now, with a Fitbit Air. I'm sure in two seconds on Amazon there'll be a ton of third party ones. Absolutely. But like when you go to buy a whoop, there's like, oh, you want a whoop? Do you also want a chest strap? Do you also want like a thousand extra bands? And also we have underwear that you could put the whoop in. Like they have a ton of stuff. And the Fitbit Air, there's not even a chest strap or an arm band, it's just the normal bands on your wrist. Yet so that's what I'm noticing. But I'm gonna test them, I'll have them side by side. So I'll literally A B test like exactly how long the battery life is. I'm gonna do the same workouts with both of them. I think it'll be really interesting. I also think they'll be very similar. Whoop is really good at the activity auto detection. So I'm curious. Apple Watch that I've been wearing for a long time is not good at that. It does it sometimes. Like if my GPS location is moving for a while and I'm outside, then it'll be like, oh, are you doing an outdoor walk? But I could start biking, I could start playing ultimate, I could start practice, I could start running, and it doesn't really usually auto-start. So I'm curious to see how well these will like auto-detect and then auto-measure and then tag them accurately. We'll see. Whoop to my memory, because I haven't used it in like a year or two, I think. Maybe like a year, but it doesn't detect it as you're doing it. Like you have to go through the activity and then afterwards it'll look back on your data and be like, oh, there was elevated heart rate here and according to their phone, they were outside, so maybe they're doing a run. And then it'll like tag it as a run. Right. Exactly. That kind of thing. And then you if it tags it wrong, you can adjust it. Yeah. But I do like on the Apple Watch and on like the Pixel Watch, if I'm doing something, it'll just be like, it looks like you're walking. Do you want to start a workout? Like that's pretty cool. The thing on the watch is is when you start a workout, then it's doing this way, way more granular measuring. It's doing like way more sampling and way more frequent measuring of heart rate and things like that, which is why I start the workout manually every time, because I want to get that data. So I'm curious, like if I go start a practice or if I go start a hit workout and then my heart rate drops between sets, is it gonna go, oh, don't have to measure anymore. That's true. Not really sure how it's gonna go. But that's what we find out. I'm gonna so my plan, tell me if you like this plan or if this is dumb. I'm gonna keep the Apple Watch on my right wrist. I don't like it. I'm gonna have the Fitbit air and the whoop on my left wrist. Okay. And then I'm gonna do all my workouts wearing all three. So I have a control because I know what numbers I usually get out of the Apple Watch, but I'll do the workouts, I'll do the practices, and then I'll get both of the readings from the whoop and the Fitbit Air and compare them. Can we get you like a chest strap? How do you feel about being chest strapped up. I don't mind that, but the chest strap for the whoop is probably gonna measure differently from the arm strap, the armband for the Fitbit. So that's why I'm keeping them both on. Okay, yeah that that makes sense. You you can do that. You have fun saying they're all th three. You soundrilled for me. Yeah. It's yeah. I I mean it's the best way to probably test it. Um would I approach you wearing all three. I might not. No. I'll be I'll be repelling people from me for the three weeks that I need to test them. But yeah. Hopefully the video's worth it. Mariah, which one are you getting? Which one? Um probably. I mean I got pixel watch already. So you're not gonna get a Fitbit? You're good? I think I'm good. I do enjoy a low barrier to entry. I think a low price point is good and I don't necessarily need the screen. Um it is interesting that it does only save the data for 30 days. Is that pretty standard for both of these? Well I think that saves it on the device for 30 days. So if you like forget your phone or your phone breaks or something, it'll still track for 30 days. Okay. And then it'll transfer over. Huh yeah I don't buy one. You know what's nice about you have a Pixel watch. Yeah. You know what's nice about the Fitbit Air is that also talks to Google Health, and so you can hot swap between them and they will just pick up where the other left off. So if you don't want to wear the Pixel Watch while sleeping, the Fitbit Air can be your sleep tra cker and then you swap back to the watch during the daytime. Yeah and it'll sort of just keep all the data in line. Which sounds so that's kinda cool. I just don't think I need to track every moment of my existence to have that data. Wrong. Um 'cause I'm not trying to optimize, but I do appreciate the people that want to optimize. I need the data. Yeah. I need to know how many steps I've taken in my lifetime. Yeah. It's very important to me. Gotta hit that high score. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there it is. I mean, yeah. Stay tuned for the for the video. Obviously that's s it's in the works, which means I'll be getting my hands on both soon. So T B D. Uh but yeah. I'm just I'm just glad I got the points in in our little game that we played. Speaking of points though. My turn. My turn to get points. Time for the actual trivia questions . Here we go. I already fit all the questions. All right, everybody. Nobody asked except for me how many Google products and services have the letters B-O-O-K next to each other . And this is closest without going long. Price is right rules. Okay . Have ever existed. Well there's Facebook . There's the Books Palma . Wait, this is but this is Google specific products. There's Barnes and Noble's MacBook Pro MacBook Pro. Alright, who would like to go first ? I'll go because I can explain my silly little chart here. Alright, what do we got? So my number is six. Okay. Okay. I don't actually know the name of six, but I figure there's Chromebook Pixel, there's regular Chromebooks, there's Google Books, there's Google Book. Mm-hmm. That's four. And then there's probably some sort of like a bookfinder service that they had. And then there's probably like a bookings service that they also had. It was a booking service that it wasn't it didn't have the word book in it and Google Books was the book finding service. But I will say six is under the number I found. Oh God. Wow. So you are technically still in contention. Okay. I had five saw them out. And you don't care to list any of them. Um no. Okay. Mariah, what did you put? If it's seven or eight or nine, you win. Well I'm gonna make David so proud. Um I picked just a really round number, lucky 13. Nice. Unfortunately that is over. Oh really? That is over because I just accidentally spoiled the answer. The answer is nine. I found nine Google products and services. They are. Are you ready? I got a point. The Chromebook. Yeah. Yeah. The Google Book. Of course. Yep. Google Books. Google Notebook, which was the precursor to Google Key. No, no, no. Yeah, then then Notebook LM. Okay. Oh. So Google Notebook and Notebook LLM are two things. Uh-huh. Then the Chromebook Pixel. Okay. The Pixelbook. Uh-huh. The Pixelbook Go Yes. And and Google Bookmarks. Congratulations. Wow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry, Andrew. Marquez, this is a big day. Yeah. Because with that point, you have officially passed That is Andrew is now carrying the one like he has for years at twenty four points. Marquez is smacked out of the middle twenty five and David is still in first place with a whopping twenty eight points. All rightright, this is this is our chance. I'm gonna tie it again for you, Andrew . Before Gemini, it was called Gemini. It was called what ? Which is a little silly because it was only called this a handful of years ago, but maybe we forgot. Maybe we forgot. And I think it was only called this for like eight months or something. Yeah. And I don't know why they changed it. Uh because branding. They just thought of a better name. Yeah, like time to kill another thing. Did they think of a better name though? I don't know that to be true. I yeah, I I don't know. I mean this was a pretty poor name if it's the one I'm thinking of. I thought it was a great name. Well right. Adam, why don't since you think it's such a g a poor name, why don't you read the terrible branding name, not a name. Yeah. I went with Google Bard. Google Bard? Oh . Correct. I knew that. Mark Hes, what did you put? Oh, I wanted to Mariah put. I put Bard. Bard? Yeah. Is correct. Nice. Thank you. Mariah, you also put Bard. In hindsight, I did actually know that information. But I was along the um astrological sign, so I put what is zodiac killer. Whoa. Um
