Intro

The hosts, Marquez, Andrew, and David, introduce the episode, teasing topics such as Pixel 10 leaks, the CMF Watch 3 Pro, the return of Essential, and Google Tasks and Keep updates. They start with an update on the Escobar phone FBI story.

Escobar Phone update

Marquez provides an update on the Escobar Fold phone scam, where the person behind it, Olaf, is pleading guilty and facing millions in fines and over 20 years in prison for fraud. The scam involved selling the original Galaxy Fold for $400 with outrageous promotional material, but not delivering the phones. Despite the absurdity of the scam, many people were conned, with losses amounting to around $300,000. Some people may have thought they were getting a cheap deal on refurbished phones, while others may have been buying the phone just to make content about it.

AppleCare One

Apple is introducing AppleCare One, a $20 per month subscription plan that covers up to three products, with additional products costing $6 extra per month. This plan offers the same coverage as AppleCare Plus, including unlimited repairs for accidental damage and 24/7 support. A key advantage is that it allows users to add products bought up to four years prior, unlike the standard 60-day window. The plan targets families and requires devices to be in good condition before being added to prevent insurance fraud. The hosts discuss whether the plan can be shared among family members or if it's tied to a single Apple ID. They also compare the cost to existing AppleCare plans, with varying experiences on repair costs.

Google Tasks x Google Keep

Google is integrating Google Keep reminders into Google Tasks, so reminders set in Keep will appear as Google Tasks with a note indicating they originated from Keep. The hosts discuss whether this integration works the other way around, allowing users to link a Keep grocery list to a recurring task in Google Tasks. The goal is to make Google Tasks a central solution for managing to-dos across the workspace. The hosts debate the usefulness of setting reminders in Google Keep versus using memory, with David advocating for not killing Google Keep. Andrew expresses frustration with Google Drive, where the "insert image" button now defaults to "generate an image," which he accidentally clicks frequently.

Donkey Kong Bonanza

Adam raves about the new Donkey Kong game on Nintendo Switch, describing it as a modern take on classic platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. The levels are massive, and players can destroy the entire environment, which Adam finds relaxing. The game has been compared to Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, with puzzles and hidden bananas to collect. Adam's fiance was so engrossed in the game that she chose to play it over going out to dinner. The game is estimated to take around 20 hours to beat, but some players have spent 50-60 hours exploring and destroying everything.

New CMF Watch 3 Pro

The CMF Watch 3 Pro, a $99 smartwatch (currently $79 for early sales), features a 1.43-inch OLED display with a 10% increase in screen-to-body ratio compared to the Watch 2. It comes in three colours—dark grey, light grey, and orange—each with a different style. The watch includes dualband GPS, 13 days of battery life under typical usage, and AI-powered coaching. The hosts criticise CMF for changing the name from Watch Pro 2 to Watch 3 Pro and for discontinuing swappable bezels. The watch will be controlled using the Nothing X app, which is also used for Nothing headphones.

Essential jump scare

The hosts discuss a random post from Essential, the phone company founded by Andy Rubin, which was later acquired by Nothing. The post, "hello world," led to speculation about a comeback, but it turned out to be an announcement about integrating the Essential brand into the "essential key" on Nothing phones, an AI feature. The hosts express disappointment that Nothing is using the Essential brand for a feature that isn't particularly useful. Andrew wants the Essential space to get better, with the ability to access it from a browser or other devices. The hosts also reflect on Google's failure to create a unified suite of services that integrates calendar, drive, and Gmail data.

Google Pixel 10 Leaks

Google has been showing the design of the Pixel 10, which looks similar to the Pixel 9. The Pixel 10 is expected to have triple cameras, making it harder to distinguish from the Pro model. There is speculation that the base model will use Pixel 9a sensors, while the Pro models will have better cameras. The hosts debate whether this difference will be noticeable to regular users. Android Headlines has leaked renders of the Pixel 10 in four colours: lemonch cello, frost, indigo, and obsidian. The hosts speculate that the brighter colours will be for the base models, while the Pro models will have more traditional colours.

Crown and Clown

In the Crown or Clown segment, the hosts discuss the best and worst tech developments of the month. Ellis calls out OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for announcing a 4.5-gawatt increase in power usage. Adam's clown is the Fujifilm X100VI, while Andrew's clown is the liquid glass design changes in Apple's iOS beta. Andrew's crown is that the giant insurance company no longer owns their G DNA data and it was sold back to Susan Wajiski's sister. Adam's crown is Donkey Kong Bonanza. The hosts agree that their live show was a crown.

Trivia answers

The hosts reveal the answers to the trivia questions. The first question was about the colour of a lobster's blood before being exposed to oxygen, with the correct answer being clear. The second question was about a phone based on reviews, with the answer being the Essential PH1. The third question was about which lobsters are found in US waters, with the correct answers being the spiny lobster and the true lobster.

Outro

The hosts thank the audience for watching and listening and tease the upcoming trivia extravaganza. They acknowledge their partnership with the Vox Media Podcast Network and credit Vain Self for the trout music.

0:00 One pound is like the sweet spot for a lobster. And generally when they get bigger they taste worse. >> Mine's 45 >> is what I >> David Surf and Turf is the 45 lb lobster and like the 3 oz fillet or like the the 1 oz A5 Wagu like on the side basically buttered on top. >> It's like a giant piece of of lobster and then just like one IKEA meatball. [Music] 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 Andrew. >> And I'm David. >> And this week we've got Pixel 10 leaks. I hesitate to use the word leaks, but I'll throw it in there. Uh, also CMF

0:46 Watch 3 Pro, the Essential comeback, and also something going on with Google Tasks and Keep, but you know, they just >> I don't >> they're just always doing stuff, aren't they? But first, I actually I have an update on uh the FBI story. You guys remember the FBI story with the Escobar phone? >> Yeah. >> I saw an article pop up yesterday that had a conclusion, I think, to the story. So the the the story goes that I did this video on the Escobar Fold. They sent it out to influencers. They didn't send out to people who actually bought it and so they got a whole bunch of views and impressions and people clicking on their website and trying to buy it and not sending the phone to them. I did this little expose video and couple months later the FBI literally

1:32 shows up to the studio and goes, "Hey, can we talk about that?" and I obliged and uh they actually took my Escobar phone as evidence and they said, "We'll we'll get back to this later. Don't talk about this, but uh someday this will all be over." And then I didn't hear from them for years. And then a couple months ago or a couple years a month months ago, we did the FBI video, >> maybe like a year ago. >> Yeah. We reached back out to them >> and we were like, "Hey, how's that case gone? Is it cool if we talk about it?" And they were actually cool with us talking about it. I made the video explaining it. Um the final update is that uh the guy behind it all, Olaf, is uh is pleading guilty and faces uh hundreds of I think millions of dollars in fines and also up to 20 plus years in

2:18 federal prison for each count of fraud. So good good news is that he won't be doing this again. They won't be scamming people again. But yeah, pretty pretty crazy story that that arc all wrapped up with 5 years later. This is one of those things where it was so ridiculous when it happened that it was unbelievable that anyone could think that it was real, right? Cuz they were selling basically a Galaxy Fold, the original Galaxy Fold, which was like a $2,000 phone. Yep. >> They were selling quote unquote for $400 and they had all this insane promotional material with like, you know, >> with literal crime >> just it was guns and like naked people and crime and it was just it was so it was like a meme of itself. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And it seemed like they were self-aware enough to know it was ridiculous, but yet they were still actually scamming

3:03 people. >> Yeah. The Escobar name is not exactly known for clean uh >> Yeah, it it's just it's obviously not good and and you know, I thought the video was like part entertainment, part obvious PSA, but yeah, people did spend the money. He apparently he owed something like $300,000 of of money to people who bought the phones and didn't >> he was wired more than $37,000 between December 2019 and June 20120. >> That's actually not that much money for >> it's not that much for doing something so stupid like this. It's like, yeah, it's not >> I uh to go on your point, I almost think part of how absurd it was was part of the reason some people got scammed cuz they saw like, oh, we know this is a Samsung Fold that cost $2,000. Maybe he's just selling refurbished ones for

3:49 $500, but like I'm actually getting this cheaper and we'll just take the skin off and then they think they get the leg up and then that's like the only way I can comprehend him getting sent. I think a lot of people were like, "Might as well try." >> Yeah. >> That was a thing that definitely probably happened. >> The price was low enough that people had that much money to throw away of just a flyer of like, "Hey, if I get the phone, >> it's a $2,000 fold." >> Yeah. >> And then they didn't get it. I mean, the amount of people that are buying like the Freedom phone or like signing up for Trump mobile just because they want to make the content about it. I feel like there were a decent amount of people doing that, too. You know what I mean? Like they wanted there were probably a bunch of YouTubers that were like I get to make a video about this even if I don't get the device at least I can make a video about how I got scammed. >> That's true.

4:34 >> So >> that's true. Dang. >> Easy way to make money. But was 300k really worth the rest of your life in prison and millions of dollars in fines? I don't think so. >> Not ideal. >> Yeah. So that's the update. There you have it. >> Yeah. >> Maybe the other FBI story will be told someday here. Yeah. >> Uh but that's the one that I have told. >> Uh moving on. Okay. The story we have here is uh Apple Care 1 is introducing a new $20 a month subscription plan. Yeah. Uh Apple is effectively trying to get you to buy insurance but for more than just like your phone or laptop >> for multiple things. >> Yeah. So usually when you buy a new device from Apple, you get to sign up for Apple Care Plus, I think it's called. And and that's you can sign up for that within 60 days of purchasing the device. And that gives you like a couple of years of uh protection for

5:22 accidental damage and then you can add on like the theft protection all this stuff. It's very good. Obviously a lot of people get Apple Care because it's like one of the best sort of insurance policies there is. >> Mhm. >> Now they have been making so much money on insurance policies that they want to make even more money on insurance policies. >> They Yeah. So, they just introduced this new uh plan called Apple Care 1, which is a new $20 a month subscription plan from Apple, which is a lot of money considering they have a lot of subscription services at this point. >> But this plan covers up to three products, and you can add additional products for $6 extra per month. Uh, you get the same coverage you get with Apple Care Plus, unlimited repairs, for accidental damage, 24/7 support, but also you can add products you bought up to four years ago versus the normal 60-day window.

6:08 >> Mhm. So, I think that this is sort of going to be like the the target of this is a is families is what I'm sort of seeing here. >> Do you think that's only going to be in the beginning when they launch this the four-year prior one? Cuz like if this is stays alive for three years and there's Apple Care 1 and I break my phone like I can I can cover things that were broken way after the 90-day limit. >> I assume so. I think it'll keep going. >> You think forever you will be able to protect something that's four years old? Yes. >> You're talking about with Apple Care >> like like if I if I buy my phone right now and in one year it breaks. So I buy Apple Care 1 because I can cover something that's up to four years old. >> Oh no. Okay. >> So I think the promotional of the beginning >> there is a um there's a thing where they

6:54 will run diagnostics on your device that you add to the plan to make sure it's like in good health and then also when you add it. >> Yeah. And it also has to be in good condition. >> Okay. >> So they do. >> You can't do insurance fraud. >> That's called fraud. just and I'm sure a lot of people will do it and go hang out with Olaf. >> I would like to do medical insurance fraud, but that's a whole another thing. >> Wait, I have a question about this. So, you can add three devices. Just glossing over that. You can add three devices, right? >> Yeah. >> So, my question is right now I'm paying basically $40 a month for all of my family's like iPhones for Apple Care. $9.99, you know, can I do three iPhones for 20 bucks? >> Yeah. So, actually, you should I'm in. Yeah, this is going to save money. >> Wait, you did say families. There's something that says this can be for more

7:40 than one specific person, >> I believe. So, >> I guess that would be a big difference on can we just like split this or just like one person have to be the owner >> or would it have to like all be attached to someone's Apple ID or something, you know? >> Cuz if it's like my AirPods, my phone, my computer, then I get it. >> But if I could do like my phone, my sister's phone, my mom's phone, >> that would be ideal. Wait, so how much? You said $9.99 a month for $9.99 a month. >> Okay, that's more expensive than I thought. >> Is it? >> Yeah, because I I just had to do this this past Saturday cuz Jess shattered her phone. So, we had to go to the Apple store in Williamsburg and they like there was someone across from me who didn't have Apple Care and they were

8:25 like, "Oh yeah, for you it'll be like I think it was like 180 bucks or something like that. It was like 300 bucks to like fix the back of the of the phone and for us it was like 29 bucks. >> And I was like, >> is this worth it? It it feels like it right now, but I don't know >> if it >> if it's the back screen or the back glass and the metal is not dented, I believe it was $29 to replace just the back glass. But had the metal been dented or they had to like give us a different phone or something, then it would have been like 99. And then it just go there's like multiple tiers for it. Our repair is not in the Apple world. So I don't >> This has not been my experience with Apple Care at all. >> Really? >> Yeah. First of all, I just checked. I pay $7.99 for Apple Care. >> Wait, why do you have Apple Care? >> I mean, actually, why don't Yeah. No,

9:13 >> it would be dumb to not have Apple. >> I kept this phone alive >> cuz it's like, oh no, like a part broke. Let me just go spend $10 and get it replaced in two hours. >> I actually This is >> Okay. >> It's the life support of that phone. >> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Really on life support on the 12 mini. Yeah. >> And I don't think I've ever paid more than $20 and I've replaced like literally every single part on this phone. >> This Oh, the screen too. >> Both this front. No, I haven't replaced the front screen. That's that's the only original part on the phone. >> Ellis, you should buy Apple Care 1 and two more iPhone 12 minis and just literally >> let it ride, baby. Yeah. The newsroom post does not say anything about family plans. Um but Apple one which has all the services that you know like the fitness plus and TV plus that is shared with your family plan. So well Apple one

9:59 ultimate or whatever it is. It's not called that something but either way um yeah I assume you could probably do it for your family and this is probably just a way for people to you know ensure their stuff for their family. >> Yeah. This is all part of Apple slowly just becoming more and more of a services company. hundreds. They have so many services and obviously they've they've made a good amount of hardware and they sell a lot of that stuff too, but the way they're growing as a company is by offering more and more monthly subscription services. >> Yeah, >> this is another one. >> Yeah, >> there will be more. >> Yeah. >> How long until it's the phone >> the phone as a service? >> I I mean it already kind of is. >> Basically is doing it right now. >> It already is. You you pay monthly phone service to be able to like use the wireless data. Well, I mean like to buy the phone. Like, oh, if you give us $20

10:46 a month when the new iPhone comes out, you'll just get a new iPhone. Just come in, try that, right? >> I mean, didn't have to try that and then cancel it before you got the upgrade. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. Remember? >> I remember that story. But yeah, they're that's basically >> carrier service. Yeah. Yeah. I could definitely see Apple doing that. I mean, they already do financing. So, is that that different? >> Yeah, >> that's true. >> You know, Clara. >> All right. All right, I need someone to explain this Google Tasks, Google Keep, Google reminders. >> So, >> implosion. >> Remember how we spent all that time getting Andrew to join Google Task? We did a whole episode about it and he finally got on Google Task and now he uses Google Task every day. >> I'm also on Google Task now. >> That's why I'm so scared of this headline. >> If I just see Google Tasks or Keep, I'm

11:32 like, one's dying. >> Doing that was a good call because it seems like they're going all in on Google Task basically. So, this news was already announced uh but now I think they're announcing that it's going to be happening something like that which is that when you set a reminder in Google Keep, it will now show up as a Google task and it'll have a little like note next to it that'll be like this is from Keep or whatever. So, if you have like a recurring grocery list or something, I'm assuming that will show Yeah, I'm guessing that would show up as a Google task but saying from Keep. Like it has a little badge next to it. >> Is Is this Dude, this is some >> This is 10x product management right here. I just want to say Google PMs, you're corruption it, folks.

12:18 >> Does this work the other way around where like if I say go grocery shopping recurring on a task and I can link a keep grocery list to it? >> You can cross link it with your Google calendar and then sync it with a Gmail reminder which >> you're joking. It's all saving. >> They did add Google Task to Google Calendar and Google Task is like its own thing in Google Calendar now. Like it's basically the whole app. You can like tab over and you just have your Google Task there. Um to answer your question, unclear. That would be cool. Like what I want is to be able to attach a note to a a Google task. Like that would be cool. Uh this seems to be so far just in in the reverse. So you can like just set a reminder in Google Keep and then it'll just pop up like don't forget about this thing you have in Google Tag. I just Okay, I want to propose something. So,

13:03 millions of years ago, our brains developed this thing called memory. >> Mhm. >> And we can >> You mean RAM? >> Yeah. And we can um remember to do things. >> Yeah, but that's notoriously really buggy. >> Well, sure, but life is buggy. You know what I'm saying? >> David, you once forgot to pick up Ellis on your way to the office. >> I was >> Yeah. Also, we had been texting. I said, "See you at 10:00." And in that 10 you forgot >> what? See you see >> not what do you want from me man? >> You don't you can't Google keep and drive. >> Hey >> and you know we wouldn't have had that fun story if I didn't forget to take them off. So life would not be vibrant if everything went as planned.

13:49 >> So Google Keep does not sync with Google Drive. But Google Drive can sync >> with Google T and keep >> someone else take this. That's already this will be fun later when we talk about nothing and essential also. >> Take the wheel. Take the wheel. >> Uh yeah, the new capability will make Google Test the single solution for managing your todos across workspace. >> It's just like another nail in the coffin to what David is always talking about. How anytime someone remembers that Google Keep exists, it's like people get nervous. >> Can I ask a question? What? Go for it. >> Who sets reminders in Google Keep? >> I set you like really the entire point of tasks. They're even geoenced, right? or geo tagged. So you can be like when I get home remind me to blank >> in keep. >> I don't know if that's in keep.

14:35 >> That might have been in Google Assistant task which was folded into Google task. >> Use your brains. >> I'm telling you it is so much simpler. >> No, it's not. It's horrible. >> Google system remind. >> Open a note. >> Access the remind me feature. Look for the bell icon at the top of the note. I do know that bell icon and choose a time and location. >> Yeah, location. Yeah. >> Huh. >> Oh, nice. >> You could do that also with the assistant. So, you could talk to like your Google Home and ask it to remind you to do something when you get to work and you get to work and it would like light up the assistant. >> I didn't realize that was through Keep though. Yeah. I thought it was through tap >> cuz I do it in my car all the time. >> I guess I never had to interface with the keep behind that reminder, but it was going through Keep technically.

15:22 >> Huh. >> Yeah. Can I or does anyone else have anything to say with that? Cuz I have a random Google gripe that I'd like to We might as well just >> I just want to plea to not kill Google Keep. >> Don't even Don't even say it, Adam. Into the void. You're willing >> the day we read that during trivia. It's the day the tear runs down from Adam's face. >> I feel like I want to say kill Google key. I cannot say >> this is Google just taking the tarp and like slowly covering Google key over. One day I'm going to get an email in the middle of the pod from Megan Fox and it's going to say some sad news about Google key. God, >> that's actually swear actually going to happen. >> Here's my gripe right now. >> Mhm. >> In Google Drive or Google Docs, I guess. >> See, that's already >> insert an image button.

16:08 >> The drop down. The first option always used to be upload from computer because I put photos in our Google our outlines for the pod every single I know you guys have a different gripe with pictures in Google. >> I usually just drop and drop. >> Um now the top one is generate an image and >> we've done 300 episodes of this. So my brain just automatically clicks the button and clicks the first one and every time I then have to click out of generate an image to just put a stupid picture of like a watch >> in this. It drives me insane. Why would they do that? In what in what world is an image generated by whatever model they're using for that right now better than the image that you know is on your computer? >> This is just Google spamming like getting more users of the service so they can say they have more people using

16:55 it. >> Oh my god, you're so right. >> Every time I've accidentally clicked it, they're like, "Count that." >> Yeah, 100%. Yeah. And then on the next Google ION, they'll be like, "Users have been loving >> generating images. They're generating millions of images >> and then they're stuck. >> They can't stop generating images. >> Andrew Manganelli physically cannot stop because they keep hitting it by accident. >> I mean, you can probably count how many times I did it. There's I think I have like eight pictures in this doc. So that's >> why you have all these generated images. >> These are not gen. >> Yeah. Wow. >> All right. We have one more thing. And this is a question I have for Adam. >> I have an answer. I have been non-stop seeing that the new Donkey Kong game is like >> 10 out of 10 incredible >> like the new Donkey Kong on Switch.

17:41 Yeah, Donkey Kong Bonanza is like >> absolutely killing it in game. >> And you have it. >> Yeah, it's awesome. >> Is there >> this game? Because it's like All right, so I used to love these games in I don't even know what year. 97 something like that. Crash Bandicoot Spyro. >> Oh my god. >> Those are PlayStation games. >> PlayStation games. Not Nintendo. PlayStation games. But like you're this little character that just runs around doing a bunch of levels and you're like doing things as you go, collecting gems, you know, the usual. They did that with Donkey Kong, but as if it's like a modern game in 2025. So like the levels themselves are massive. And because it's Donkey Kong, you can just destroy the entire level. Like my first night playing this game, I kind of just wanted

18:27 to I wasn't sure if I wanted to like dive deep into it, you know? It was like late. I'm like, let me just play like five or 10 minutes. So, I just destroyed the whole level for 5 minutes. And it was like kind of relaxing to just It's like a when you go to like a break room or something like that >> vacuuming >> like what? >> Like you have to get every single piece. >> Oh, yes. You mean a rage room? >> Is that what they're called? >> A break room is where you have a pot of coffee with >> Oh, I was >> Yeah, it's a rage room. Like when you go with a bat and just destroy a bunch of glass things, it has that same kind of like vibe >> for most of like the whole level. So you could just walk around destroying things and >> that's it. And you don't have to play the game at all. So that's like what I did for like the first half hour of me playing. I was just walking around destroying corner rock.

19:13 >> It was awesome. >> I've only played this game for like 20 minutes, but I kept getting myself stuck because I was just like burrowing into the ground and then I couldn't figure out how to get out. Yeah, it took me like a good amount of time to realize that he could just climb. >> Playing Minecraft. >> Yeah, it's sort of like Minecraft, but you can destroy things. Not >> Oh my god, if they DLCed and then Donkey Kong could start building things, that would be crazy. >> Also, what platform is this on, Adam? >> This is a Nintendo Switch 2 game. >> That's right. >> You know how good this game is? >> Last week, I was like, Adam, do you want to go do you and your fiance want to go get dinner with me tonight? And Anna goes, "No, I'm gonna play Donkey Kong." >> I mean, >> which is different from the usual response. >> That's just not

19:58 gonna say. >> That's not that different. >> But this time, I had a reason. >> I was working, guys. I knew that I had 10 out of 10 on IGN. >> No, the game is actually like really good. So, I think IGN compared it to uh Zelda, >> Breath of the Wild, and >> Odyssey. >> And Odyssey, which is made by it is made by the Super Mario Odyssey team. M and I could see the the collab the comparison to Zelda just because there are puzzles and things that you have to do and it's not overtly clear. Like you just will be going through the level, you will stumble upon this thing and if you there's a thing you could do where you like clap and see all around you and you could see a banana and be like, "Oh, I got to get the banana." And every time you get a banana, it goes, "Oh, banana." And it's awesome. But >> I love Japan.

20:44 >> I do the same thing. Um, after a long run, I'm like, "Oh, banana." >> The game is just that it's just fun. >> Yeah, I need to play I'm going to play it on the plane today. It's going to be fun. >> Yeah, >> because I feel like you might lowkey like this. >> Yeah. >> Just walking around bashing things. >> Well, there's like a point to it, but in the process, you get to destroy everything. >> There's like a point. Yeah, you can play the level if you want. Like, that's what I started doing yesterday and I've gotten already fairly far. I don't know how long the game is, so I don't know like how much I'm at. But >> someone said it's like 20 hours to beat it, but multiple people are like 50 or 60 hours into it still just like stuff everywhere. >> Oh, yeah. Cuz the comp that kind of time, guys, >> you're a fly to China. That's >> literally the game.

21:31 >> That's fair. You know how many hours I have in Dota 2? >> Can I guess? >> You should guess. >> How long have you been playing this game? >> Since 2011. >> Since 2011. Okay. Is this a Were you paying attention? Cuz he said it out loud right before we started. >> No, I do remember what you said. >> Oh, >> 20,000. >> 20,000. What hours? Hours? >> 20,000? >> No. No. No. >> I mean, now my number is going to seem low as hell. >> Can I say what I think it is cuz I think I remember it. >> Yeah. >> Was it 4,168 hours? >> It was 4,620 >> uh hours. >> That's a lot of hours. That's not a lot. You're not even an expert yet. >> I'm still the second to lowest. >> You got to put in your 10,000 hours. >> 10,000 hours, babe. That's like That's

22:16 how you get the thing. That's true. >> 10,000 hours. So, you're like kind of a rookie still. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. If I put that into like learning piano or something, though. Um, >> do you want to know how many days that is? Ellis just did the math. >> Okay. But >> you said you said 4620. >> Yeah. But also, think about this. You're only awake for like tw or 16 hours. >> Stop letting your facts get in the way of this joke. >> No. So, double that. No, it's sad enough outside. >> It's 192 days. >> So, it's basically twice that. It's It's over a year effectively of waking hours that I played Dota. >> Damn. >> Runescape people. That's basically getting out of the tutorial. >> This is only since 2011. So, in the last 15 years, >> that's 14 years. >> That's in the last 14 years, you spent one entire year playing this game.

23:04 That's so much. >> That's only one. It's only 114. That's like if you you just had 15 years of time and you just sat still for one whole year and just played the game. That's so much. >> Wow. >> 114th of your day. That's what two hours a day >> every day. >> That's not that crazy. >> Yeah. Two hours. >> Two hours a day. But think about one day being six hours. You've never done a six hour? >> I've literally never done a six-hour gaming session. Oh man. >> Neither have I. >> There were periods. I'm just >> Yeah, we should just go to trivia. >> This is a great time to move on to trivia. >> The thing about this conversation is half the people are like rookie numbers. The other half of people are like, "You have no life." >> That's true. I only play this like once a month now, by the way. And I only play

23:50 it for like 2 hours like once a month. >> The first step is admitting you have a problem. >> Sorry. >> That's crazy cuz just like by laws of averages, you must have had like a steep amount of hours before. >> Oh yeah. College >> and a little bit after. And then in between jobs. Actually, in between my last job and this job, I took a month off between jobs. I played Dota for like eight hours. >> I remember you telling me that because I started here already. >> Yeah. I was like, "What'd you do?" Play Dota. >> Played Dota for a month straight. Okay. >> It's on his screen right now. >> You still haven't won. >> One, Ellis. >> Yeah. Well, you haven't beaten the game yet. >> Just pause. >> There's no game to beat. You can't pause an online game, Andrew. >> Sounds like a skill issue. Um, guys. All right. So, >> people are bored. We've covered lots of really great topics so far today and we

24:36 have even more great ones to go. But this feels like a great time to announce that in early slash possibly mid slash there's a a chance it might be late August >> we will be publishing posting releasing dropping the next edition of Trivia Extravaganza. >> Whoa. >> That's right. And as promised well I shouldn't say as promised because I'm not following through on this promise. Few weeks ago, I promised that there would be a lobster category in Trivia Extravaganza. We had so many bangers that I had to scoot. It had to It had to go boot. That's the word I was looking for. It's really early in the morning. Normally, we record this much later in the morning than it is. >> That's true. It is early. >> Um, so guys, I I'm taking one of those lobster questions and we're doing it

25:23 >> right now. Are you ready? >> Yeah. >> Guys, >> and if this doesn't prove they're freaky, >> I didn't say freaky. I love those sea bugs. I love eating those. >> Guys, prior to being exposed to oxygen, what color is a lobster's blood? >> Everyone knows this. >> Just learned this yesterday. >> Everyone knows this. >> I feel like there's a default answer to what color is something's blood when it's not the normal color. >> Then put it down. >> Okay. >> All right. Okay. >> Sounds like we're wrong. >> Sounds like we're wrong. Yeah. It's going to be like neon green or something. I would start thinking freaky. Guys, this isn't no normal animal. This is a lobster. This is King Freak of the sea.

26:09 >> Prior to being exposed to oxygen, so before they start breathing. >> Uh well, >> when they're in the womb, >> when it's on its way, >> do lobsters have wombs. >> Wait, actually, I don't. >> Or do they lay eggs? >> They they lay eggs. Um, also in your uh circulatory system, blood leaves the heart oxygenated and returns to it depleted of oxygen. So before it gets back to the heart. >> Yes. And then but it's you have like if you cut a lobster open it will oxygenize oxygenate. >> Oxidize >> oxidize. O >> just >> Dad. Can I go home? >> It's 4 in the morning. I can't do this anymore. >> There's an answer to this. >> Guys, it's too late. Yeah, there's there is an answer to this. >> You either know it or you don't. >> And I have even more lobster questions if you ask. >> It's more insane than the color I'm thinking. >> I don't know. I don't know what you're

26:54 thinking. >> We'll see. >> Say it out loud. >> Don't do it. >> Don't do it. I almost trap just like last week. >> Yeah. >> So, it's a laptop. >> Okay. Uh we'll be right back.

28:28 David, >> I've got a riddle for you. >> What is black and white and orange all over? But not all over, just in between black and white. >> Probably not the CMF Watch 3 Pro because uh it'll probably come in in a different color than it looks online like every other product. >> Oh, good answer. Yeah, >> that was exactly it. >> How' you know? >> We've got new cheap to talk about. Um, you've you've probably you've probably heard of the CMF Watch 2 Pro. >> Watch Pro 2. >> I hate everything. They changed the name. >> Yes, the name is different. >> Oh, yeah. It was Watch Two. Yeah, >> watch Pro two. And this is the Watch

29:14 Three Pro. Okay. >> I'm not kidding. What if there are multiple watches? >> Watches three pro. >> Well, CMF uh the color material finished the subbrand of uh the sub the the cheap subbrand of the cheap company that is no longer cheap anymore. >> You're doing great, sweet. >> Nothing has released a $99, currently $79 uh because it's early sales smartwatch called the uh CMF Watch 3 Pro. Uh it has a 1.43 43 inch OLED display with a 10% increase in screen to body ratio from the watch 2 and it comes in three colors and it can do chat GBT for some reason. >> Wait, so the colors are what actually confused me the most here. >> Same. >> So the colors are dark gray, light gray,

29:59 and orange. But if you notice, the styles in all of those colors are also different. >> Yeah, these are just three different watches. >> These are just three completely different watches style-wise. So the the orange is actually a dark gray bezel and like metal piece which with some orange accents. A flat bezel that's kind of notched with the orange. >> Then the dark gray. No, wait, sorry. That was the orange color. That's actually dark gray. Then the dark gray is just >> kind of a lighter gray. So it's like middle gray. It's like the middle porridge. >> And it looks angled, not flat. Maybe. >> I think it's kind of flat, but it has no notches, right? and it has a little um like etch in the bottom left that says CMF by nothing. >> And then light gray is a lighter gray,

30:45 but it's kind of got like a beveled or like curved design. It's not flat. >> Perhaps you call it a lip. >> A lip. Yeah, a lip is a good way. >> Yeah, they also took out the swappable bezels from the last one. And this is like this is now nothing. Not nothing. This is now CMF going back on a lot of replaceable parts. Like we talked about how the uh the what is the the the phone with the replaceable back parts that >> CMF phone >> the other one that that we talked about two weeks ago fair the Fairphone 6 has like those like replaceable back parts now. And then the CMF phone one also had the replaceable back parts. And when they released the CMF phone 2 they most of them were not compatible with the CMF

31:32 phone 2. Y >> and now they're kind of doing the same thing with the watch where they like introduce a new sort of like replaceable swappable paradigm, but they don't keep it going, >> which kind of sucks. It's just a lot of e-waste. >> It's a lot. CMF makes some really cool looking things, but a lot of the stuff they do kind of makes you scratch your head. One of them being calling it the Watch Pro 2 and then the Watch 3 Pro. >> Yeah, >> it feels like that's just like that is CMF in a nutshell. Yeah, it does have dualband GPS though, which is kind of interesting. Um, that's a feature that we're only seeing in like higherend smartwatches these days. >> It it's got good stuff. I mean, it's it's what 13 days of battery life, although it says under typical usage, which is 11 days with heavier tracking and 4.5 days with always on display.

32:18 >> I mean, that's still good. >> It's still good >> for a smartwatch >> for sure. >> Says it charges 100% in 99 minutes. >> There is an AI powered coaching. what everybody's asking for these days. >> It's the new rage. Everyone's doing that. >> But nobody wants >> We don't know if anybody wants it because nobody's >> asked for it, but maybe it's good. Maybe >> I feel like Apple just announced it at Dubdub and then Samsung was like, >> "Make that fast and make that fast. Make that fast." Yeah, write that down. Write that down. >> And then now CMF wants to do it. I wonder if anyone likes that. >> I mean, we're going to find out this year. This will be the year we find out. And then next year they'll either all disappear and no one will hear from them again or they'll be everywhere. I think it's going to be the former. >> Yeah, we'll see. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The other thing is that um now you will be using the Nothing X app to

33:04 control the watches and I believe the previous watches will also be transitioning to the Nothing X. >> That's nice at least cuz the headphones also use the app. >> It is nice. Oh, the CMF head. >> Sorry, that nothing headphone one. >> I agree that doing it all in one app is nice. It's just weird that this is the CMF stuff that's now doing the nothing things. >> Yep. CMF's doing nothing. >> Nothing tries so hard to be trendy. And I feel bad talking smack because I do appreciate how hard they try, right? Like so much harder than everyone else. But they try so hard and make so little sense all the time that when you say nothing X app instead of X representing the interchange of all their products. It just sounds like nothing is collaborating with a company called App. >> Yeah. With

33:50 >> like the Nothing X app. >> Yeah. Well, speaking of nothing, uh we saw a random post from Essential, which if you remember the Essential brand, the Essential PH1 was one of the greatest phones ever created. >> One of the most acidic phones ever created, too. >> Got them. >> Interesting. Yeah. It um Yeah. So, uh famously Andy Rubin's phone company. It was supposed to be sort of like the pinnacle of what Android could be. It had a beautiful design. It was one of the first teardrop notch phones. It didn't have a headphone jack and they added like a little pogo pin adapter to add a headphone jack which was really lame. U but it had a DACK in it. Anyway, it was really really cool. It was a really cool company and then they just disappeared sort of out of nowhere because they kind of like ran out of

34:35 money. They also launched on Sprint in the United States which was the stupidest thing you could possibly do. >> Yep. Uh, and then they disappeared for a long time. And then in 2021, uh, Carl Pay bought the brand and allegedly nothing was originally going to be called Essential. They were just going to take over the brand >> and then they didn't and they called it nothing. >> So they've just done nothing with the Essential brand. >> Yeah. I kind of forgot they owned that brand. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Well, did they really announce it much back then or like they started talking about it in the last couple like >> Yeah, they didn't really announce it or do anything with it. >> No. >> He did a video like a month ago about why they bought it. And what was cool about it is someone who works at Nothing Now has the old Project Gem, the second phone they were going to release, the

35:21 really skinny one. if you have a chance to watch the video, the funniest thing is the keyboard because in order to fit the keyboard, >> so for anyone who doesn't know, Project Gem was an extremely thin phone, like a 4x1 aspect ratio. >> Um, and in order to fit the keyboard, it basically had to like diagonally go across the screen >> from left bottom to right upwards to fit everything. And it took like three quarters of the screen up to just put an entire keyboard. >> And um, it's very funny. Go watch that video if you want to see what Project Gem could have been. >> But possibly in one of the biggest letdowns of all time, uh we see this post on Twitter that's just print hello world from the Essential account. And everyone's like, "Oh my god, is Essential coming back? Are they going to

36:07 make another Essential Phone? It's going to be amazing." Cuz everyone forgot that, you know, nothing had bought them. And then they just started posting about essential space, >> which is like that the key on the new nothing phones that adds your stuff to the essential space. It's called the essential key. >> Mhm. >> And it's like, wow, you really you really took a really amazing brand and you just used it for an AI feature that nobody really likes. >> They're I probably wouldn't take the brand name. They did. The phone was really cool and in hindsight it was, but it was getting me'd on so hard because they called it the essential phone right in the peak of first getting rid of the headphone jack. True. Like everyone was like, "What? The headphone jack's not essential." And back then that was a crazier thing. And also Andy Rubin just didn't have the best record. >> Well, >> which kind of really killed the company.

36:53 >> He did until his stuff happened and then the the Gem Phone came out like right around when he got in trouble and exposed. So that was fun. >> So yeah, I probably would also get >> but it it was a weird thing for them to tweet from the account. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone got all stoked and then they were just like you can integrate to Google calendar with the essential key and everyone's like oh no sad. >> Yeah. I want the essential space to get better. I've talked about it in every new phone review I've done for nothing Phone just to see like how they've improved it over the time that it's been out and it it still doesn't sync anywhere. So I have this thing where I save links and I save things that I want to remember later but I use actually right now I use raindrop.io which is

37:40 multiplatform but the whole point is I can access it from anywhere. I can access it from my computer. I can save things from my computer. I can access stuff from my phone. Save things from my phone. And this is a kind of useful tool, but it only works on your phone and only pulls from the stuff you've saved earlier on your phone. So if you have any other devices that you save stuff from, it won't show up here. So my number one ask for this is for it to get backed up somewhere. Maybe I can just access it from a browser or something that just that would make it a multitude more useful for me. >> Yeah. >> And then from there it can just be the place that I dump stuff that I want to remember later. That's kind of cool. They can add features there. It could be useful. Add calendar events, whatever. But yeah, I every time they announce a new phone, I go, "Ah, it's still getting better, but I'm still not going to use it because I can only use it on my

38:26 phone." >> Yeah, which theoretically Google should have the ability to do all of those things because they have all your calendar data and all your drive and all your Gmail data. >> I was just going to say, isn't that just the Google Suite? >> Like everything you just described. >> That's the possibility of the Google suite, but they haven't actually done anything like that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Which is why all these new AI browsers are popping up. like OpenAI is reportedly working on their own browser and the >> perplexities perplexity has come. The whole value chain of that is that if you're talking to the AI model all the time, it learns more about you so the browser can be more personalized. Uh but Google's had the opportunity to do that for a really long time and they haven't done it which is very fun. >> Um I mean I don't know how you would train a model like that so this could be a stupid question but doesn't Google already have all that information like why do I need to continually talk to it

39:13 again? Like it already really do. >> I just think that they probably are trying to try to fine line between privacy and figuring out how to much of your data to use and then also it's Google. >> Yeah. >> And that's kind of the answer. >> I feel like they kind of were on to something a long time ago but then never really finished it. Remember Google now? >> Remember when Tap? >> Yeah. Now on Tap, which was And then they added like on screen stuff, but basically the idea was, "Oh, we're Google. We know all this stuff about you. We see your calendar. or we see your Gmail. So when you wake up in the morning, Google now is going to tell you what you need to know right now, which is, oh, there's a little extra traffic on your way to work because I know where you work and I know how long it takes for you to get to work and when you typically leave. So leave 10 minutes earlier and you'll get there on time and here's the things you're going to do

39:59 when you get to work and here's the calendar events and how you need to go from thing to thing. >> And it it that that idea of like knowing everything about you and being helpful for you is is useful. It's helpful >> and yeah, Gemini could do some more of that. I think but in in general right now it's kind of not using it. >> Basically the best Gemini feature now is to take a screenshot and have it add it to your calendar >> which is good. >> Yeah. >> But same thing that Siri visual intelligence does on the iPhone. >> Yeah. >> If you use Apple calendar. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I feel like Google now got so watered down and just put into like the little pixel widget that's on like the top left. >> It was so useful for so long. Yeah. Went away. Anyway, >> speaking of Google, >> nice as usual. >> That's all I added to that conversation.

40:45 >> I was reading about raindrop.io. It looks pretty cool. >> It's great. >> It sounds pretty links in there. >> It's just like a save save for later kind of place >> basically. You remember pocket? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Oh, >> you know how Pocket's kind of like >> going away. Yeah. >> So, I switch to this. >> Didn't Pocket they they made a new Pocket called like Folio or something too. >> So, I need to try that too. >> Yeah, probably. >> I think cuz Pocket had an app that was native on a bunch of platforms. I have the Pocket app on my phone, my tablet, the browser extension, everything. So, anytime I need to say something for later, I just put it in my pocket. >> And now that that is like going away, raindropio is essentially that. >> Pocket has such better branding though. >> It is. Put it in my pocket. So, perfect. Yeah. >> What are you going to say with Rindrop? >> Put it in my raindrop.io. I don't I don't love that. >> Put it in my bucket. A whole song about

41:32 it. >> In my back pocket. >> It's true. But yeah, I uh I use Randrap now and and it's about the same thing. >> Speaking of Google, >> yes. Okay, so Google has been notoriously bad at keeping things a secret at this point. I'm afraid to ask why. I don't know why. Things just leak for like months before they come out for Google. Uh so >> before they're even announced. >> Yeah. Before they're even like confirmed to be real products. >> Yeah. >> So, uh Google started owning that in the past couple years. They've like poked fun at that. They've started like revealing things before the leaks can even do it or whatever. They're doing this now with the Pixel 10. >> They've just shown us the design of the Pixel 10, >> which is only a design, you know, we don't know the specs. We don't know the

42:17 price. There are other things that they can announce later. Great. That'll probably also leak, but whatever. >> But what they're showing us the design is the Pixel 10. And what's interesting here is one, it's basically the Pixel 9. >> Yeah. >> A little bit of a different like titanium-ish color. two, uh, if this is in fact a Pixel 10, because there's a nice little 10-second video that they're showing us, which is like they're unveiling it. If this is in fact the Pixel 10 and not the 10 Pro, then confirmed triple cameras on the base Pixel 10, which is a nice upgrade, which I think we've mentioned this on a previous episode, makes it even more challenging to distinguish it between the 10 and the 10 Pro. What are they going to do on the 10 Pro that's not on the 10 if there's triple cameras on the 10? of maybe a brighter screen.

43:04 >> We might have some rumors. >> I went full speculation on this. I even created a theory. >> Let's hear the theory. >> Okay. So, >> create a sounded so we talked about that. How I need to make Google leaks interesting because they happen every damn day. So, um so like you said, there's a 10-second video that showed the goo. It just said 10 >> and a Pixel with three cameras. So, we're hoping I'm hoping personally a base model 10 with a telephoto. Yeah. >> Then Google India tweets this a different ad that says, "Ask more of your phone, Google Pixel 10 Pro." >> It's the same exact phone. It has the exact like lens flare coming off of the >> the visor. It's in a little different scenario. So then I'm like, "Oh, no. This is just the 10 Pro. It doesn't have

43:52 >> 10." But Android Headlines has done a bunch of different leaks to the point where it seems like they have the camera specs which might help us understand the different if there are three on the base what the difference is and that is that the base phone will be using Pixel 9a sensors for everything where the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will have cameras. That is so hard to sell. So they both have triple cameras but the Pro has better triple cameras. >> Correct. regular people are not going to care. >> This is funny. Yeah. And I >> But I don't Yeah, I don't think that matters. >> I agree. I don't I hate to ding them for that because I think in the world of like people like deeply researching their phones, they will realize that that's probably something that is worth it if you take a lot of pictures and

44:38 photos and videos and all that, but that is very hard for the regular person to understand. >> Oh, there's triple cameras on this one and there's triple cameras on this one. Okay, I guess I'll just save my money and get the 10. Yeah, >> I would argue most people if they said there's two cameras on this and three on the other, they would be like, "What does that do?" >> I think most people know that you get the ultra wide or you get the zoom. >> I don't think most people know what an ultrawide really does. >> The.5x. Most people just call it the.5x, I guess. But if you get the extra camera, that means it'll do better when you zoom, basically. >> And if they both have that better zoom, then what's the point of upgrading to the Pro if they both have it? I don't think Google's trying to get people to upgrade to the Pro. >> That's kind of how it feels.

45:24 >> Yeah. >> They just want anyone to have. >> Yeah. Wait, maybe this is maybe this is kind of hero work. Maybe they're just doing the best possible base phone and then they're like, "The pro phones, whatever. We don't care that much about those, but we want to make the best base. >> What if they just call them the Pro phones, but there's nothing different." And they charge $300 more. That's actually what's happening. Um, I think you could argue the opposite way of it almost being nefarious of let's just throw three on the bottom phone, but they're not as good. But no one's going to know the difference between good cameras, bad cameras. They just see three bigger number. >> How do we know that that's the the regular one and not the Pro? >> We don't. >> We're >> Shouldn't we assume it's the Pro then if it has three cameras? Because that's >> India posted that it's the Pro. India postes the pro but there have been tons of rumors of the base having a third

46:09 camera to the point of like specs coming out for >> Google India account not the country of India. >> Well, so that was my theory that >> Google's trying to confuse us with their own leaks now putting one as the 10 and one as the 10 Pro and being like now you don't know our leaks are so bad maybe if we leak more you'll be more confused. I I I think the real answer is whoever runs the Google India account doesn't talk to the person who runs the made by Google account and just tweeted that it's the 10 Pro and oops they just told everyone it's the 10 Pro. >> So let's see who thinks there will be three cameras on the base 10. >> I think there will be two cameras on the base. >> Well according to this Android Hydra lines renders because they have renders of uh four of the colors which are god

46:57 awful by the way. >> Totally disagree. >> Okay. I love these colors. >> Um, lemonch cello. >> Amazing. >> Okay, it's not. >> If that's the if that's the color of lobster blood, I will admit it is freakier than crabs. >> It looks like piss. >> It's sick piss, though. >> Sure. Okay. And then we've got frost, which is kind of like a very, very, very muted blue. It's actually like the same color as the like MacBook Air blue. >> It's barely blue. >> Barely blue. You've got indigo, which is like a deep blue, which is actually quite nice. >> That one's fire. >> Uh, and obsidian, which is just black, but >> Whoa. >> Well, it's gray. >> Hell yeah. >> That's the one. >> Hell yeah. Go on. >> All right. Well, you know, black

47:42 technically. Yeah. Okay. Whatever. >> Yo, they got that in gray. >> It absorbs every You got that in gray. >> It is all usually they do the worst like the mo more insane colors for the the cheaper models. >> That's a very good point. So, I would imagine that these are the cheaper models because I don't see Google selling a piss colored pro phone. >> That's a that's >> I can't wait. I'm pre-ordering that now. So, you're thinking because these are bright colored phones, these are probably the base phones. And they appear to have triple cameras, therefore triple cameras on the base phones. >> That would be my speculation. >> I think it's obvious. We've all learned that pro people are not allowed to have fun colors. >> That's true. They probably going to have like a black and a white for the Pro and that'll be it. Hell usually. >> Hell yeah.

48:28 >> Yeah, I'm into that. >> You can't be a pro and have fun at the same time. No, >> Apple's proved that. Yes. >> Well, you know, you just put a skin on it. That's all. >> Adam, did you say that there was a a piss colored pro phone before? >> They've had a very similar to this. >> Yeah, I don't know if it was pro, but it was like a Yeah, six or 6A. One of those. It was like a yellowish. >> It was lemon cello. >> Pro? >> No, not >> I don't think it was a pro. similarly colored this like weird >> lemongrass. I think it was called lemongrass. >> Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah. >> Yeah, but that was a regular model. >> Yeah, I do love it. >> Told you you I already got you. >> Oh, wait. Sorry. I was looking at the >> Well, that was fast. >> I was looking at the old one. The old one, the lemongrass was nice. This one is like It's like if piss fell into like a nuclear reactor.
