 But so apologies if you heard this before is mini so opened a store in North Korea And it was the first branded Non-Korean non-North Korean store to open there since the 50s in North Korea Young young. Oh, wow. Okay. I was so It was so unlike and of course immediately the company the Japanese headquarters Disavowed it with like we don't know what no we didn't do that that breaks so many trade rules. That's not a and then they changed the name of it and agreed not to Not to inventory anything from it was so it's apparently still there under a different name And it's only associated with the Chinese headquarters of the company. It's separate from the rest of the company and it's very confusing So see my irrational unfounded This isn't dislike of that brand Was actually warranted because of course or would open a store in North Korea and not be the embodiment of evil Wendy's oh Is there Just saying you said who would I'm like, I don't know I That must be really interesting. I mean if they're Chinese it makes more sense, but how do you go about? opening a Commercial outlet in North Korea, right? That's not an easy. It's not you can't just like waltz in with you know It easily obtained permit and although maybe you know, maybe they don't have enough People interested that if you are Here I are we live. Yeah, we're live. So for the video folks people you can see here's the There's the mini so mini so website You see how they have like the Japanese Version of mini the mini so sign right They have a noodles bowl noodles bowl looks good At least the noodles do When eat the bowl Mini so co-founded Persist fine pottery. We've manufactured overseas It does look a little bit like the design is reminiscent of Muji. Yeah, absolutely Hey One day, I don't show up. You'll know it happened I'm worried about that. I know wait see an Instagram how does that doesn't read mini so in Japanese. It's me so really But that can't maybe the name is different you just have a different name register here It's well, it's very strange. Shall we talk about the GDP are? Shall we yay, I mean I changed it on mine I don't want to talk about it After all that work It's felt like an hour and a half researching this. Yeah, I can imagine. This is very thorough There's a lot I'll try to distill it down quickly. All right. Here we go in three two one Thanks to everyone who supports independent tech news directly if you're already a DTS member Thank you, and if you're not one become one at patreon.com slash DT NS This is the daily tech news for Tuesday November 27th 2018 in Los Angeles on Tom Merritt and from Knox studio feline I'm Sarah Lane and From the snowy hills of the Finnish countryside. I'm Patrick Beja and from a progressively colder LA County area I'm the shows producer roger. You want to go toe-to-toe with Finland on coal. Yeah, I was gonna I didn't say it was colder. It's Bill. It hurts my sensitivities. That's just a frostbite We are gonna talk today a bit about a Ruling by the French regulatory agency under the GDP are that could have maybe maybe not but could have sincere implications for the ad tech business. We're gonna walk you through all that But let's start with a few other tech things you should know YouTube stopped allowing annotations in videos made after March 2017 and now it's getting rid of existing ones too Annotations will no longer be shown on any video starting January 15th Wonder what the all the implications are there Google product leaders told Reuters that Gmail's smart compose feature will not suggest he or she To prevent predicting sex or gender identity incorrectly Gmail has 1.5 billion users and smart compose assists on 11% of messages sent worldwide the policy effects fewer than 1% of cases and Google also posted to its blog that the pixel slate will be available at retail Thursday, November 29th People who pre-ordered have started receiving their shipping notifications. So congratulations to you The pixel slate costs from between $599 on up to a thousand five hundred ninety nine dollars depending on the configuration Your keyboard cost you an additional hundred ninety nine bucks and the pen is 99 bucks, but let's talk a little bit more about an intriguing patent Indeed Tectastic the very well-named Tectastic noted a patent filed in South Korea by Sony interactive entertainment shows the design of a new Electronic game cartridge the Verge points out that in May Sony's PlayStation chief John Kodera Said he saw portable gaming as one method to deliver more gaming Experiences, I mean that doesn't mean to bring back the Vita. Does it well? I mean so the reason why this makes people think of Portable gaming consoles is that of course home consoles now use this Media so a cartridge could be used for a portable device This is interesting. It's not a hundred percent unexpected. I think this is kind of a Corollary to a warning I've been Bending about for a while, which is do not trust tech journalists to make accurate predictions about Gaming the gaming industry because they're they're You know not similar, but they're cousins, but they're very different industries and When a lot of people were saying mobile gaming devices dedicated mobile gaming devices are going away Because we see mobile phones I think a lot of people or at the very least I'm going to speak for myself me said there is a space for a Portable device that is dedicated because they provide the kind of experiences that gamers want And so of course the Nintendo switch is kind of half-filling that role But it doesn't mean that there wouldn't be a space for another competitor and maybe Sony is thinking about at least at the very least Prototyping stuff now, of course, it's just a patent and they probably filed millions of patents every every year. So I Millions I am but my head first went to the Nintendo switch like ooh a Sony a Sony switch type Competitor that could be interesting But really where where my head ended was why gain cartridges like even if you have a portable game console You do you need a cartridge that that seems this to do? It well, I mean yes a little bit But remember there are still people and parts of the world where the internet's connection isn't good enough and just for habits If you're going to release essentially if you're going to release a portable device today I don't think it's an automatic Certainty that you're not going to include Physical media we're not there yet. It's just not very portable to have to carry a cartridge around I'm not saying you'll always have a connection, but but you know if you just have internal storage that ought to be enough I think it addresses more the Frustration or the outrage that people would display if it didn't if it wasn't possible to purchase physical media then to actually Address a real issue. Maybe people would want it and then not use it as much as they thought they would But still it's you know physical media a lot of gamers are still very attached to it Just in time for the holidays Huawei posted a teaser on Wi-Bow for a phone with a circular camera cutout placed at the top left corner of the Screen and not replacement perhaps a leaked image of a screen protector for a Samsung phone showed a similar Circular camera cutout in the screen and Samsung confirmed it is working on this to the verge Yeah, so obviously you can't do multiple cameras You can't do the 16 cameras that LG wants to do or anything like that This would be your mid-range phones But it is an elegant way to get a full screen into a mid-range phone by just placing that camera You know over in the corner of the screen Does that mean do you think there is literally no screen at that? Specific location so all of your apps would just show well nothing at that spot or would need to be designed around it But hmm that is a that is a question of whether whether that part of the screen is then used Or does it just get in the way? You know if you're playing a game or using an app that has important information up in that corner How's that handled? I'm curious about that too Seems it would be a case-by-case basis on how it would affect the usability of each app or function of the phone My guess is for Android it might just not use that screen unless the app Particularly told the phone it was designed for that. You know what I mean, right? It just essentially doesn't display what it's supposed to display there Which as you mentioned in some apps might be problematic Well, I was thinking if it if the app doesn't tell the Huawei phone or the Samsung phone I'm designed for the screen it would have the top of the app stop below the the cutout Oh, I don't think so that would negate because very few apps No, and that would but I mean that would be the only way to handle it On the phone itself or any of the native apps they would handle it and it would be fine Mmm, I don't I it would seem like essentially you would have that cutout in your screen and then no app would make use of the Bezzleless screen that is so gorgeous except for the native ones. How what if they have an option to somehow Access that thing by a special Gesture that makes you move the screen for a little while and then you move it back to access that part of the very Samsung Yeah, and while I could do that too for sure The South China Morning Post abacus news blog Posted that in the city of Ningbo south of Shanghai Dongming Zhu president of China's top air conditioning company was shown on a public screen Shaming people caught jaywalking on camera. This is the thing that a lot of cities do in China They'll they'll show people who are caught on camera with facial recognition as jaywalking and saying hey This person broke the law It's a way to try to deter people from breaking the law a line of text stated that she had crossed during a red light However, the photographic evidence also shown on the screen next to this declaration was of a bus With an ad Featuring Dong's face on it. She was never at the intersection It was a mistake of facial recognition seeing her picture on the bus and then assuming she was out in the intersection Because of that police admitted on weibo that it was a failure of the facial recognition system and say they have now fixed it with an upgrade Oh, they fixed it. It's okay. It's fine then everything nothing to see here. Everything's working as intended. I Mean, I'm joking but obviously I Love the picture of of the screen. They're like people have captured it and posted on weibo that you know that picture of the person's face Her you know the executives face Clipped out of of the photo. So it's actually just heard the photo of her on the bus With the text saying she crossed against the red light and then a larger picture. That's just of the bus That's would normally be showing the person caught in the act But instead all you see is like there's a bus with an ad on this side I mean this story is you know, you kind of have to chuckle at it But think about you know, the implications is you know that the larger implication is Facial recognition is going to produce some false positives here So jaywalking not the end of the world stay safe out there everyone but if it was something like Your face was seen at the at the crime scene, you know that kind of thing I mean obviously in a situation like that a close investigation would have police realized very quickly That was just a bus, right? So so hopefully That wouldn't lead to false accusations, but hey, it does show that facial recognition is not As as solid as maybe we fear or in some cases authorities would like Right. I think in in this case it's just jaywalking so it's not that huge a deal and That person happens to be somewhat famous. So maybe the the second look was You know happened where it might not have happened in other cases and she was still Shamed with that. Yeah, when the result seems just look at the picture and you see that Her face is on the bus. So they didn't even in this case didn't really look at it Before they applied the sanction. So, you know in other cases Yeah, it might be more problematic than just to show you how many people who aren't dong mingzhu have been publicly shamed incorrectly Probably not just, you know, I don't have their faces on buses. I guess I don't right They don't but you know, it just shows these kinds of things can happen and again in this case It's just being shamed for jaywalking who knows what it can be used for other than shaming for jaywalking All right Line will partner with Mizuho financial group to create a bank to provide financial services to close to 80 million users of Lines messaging app users line will own 51% of the bank Mizuho will Mizuho will own 49% line also announced Retailers who accept line pay services will be able to process payments from 10 cents we chat Starting early next year taking advantage of rising Chinese tourism in Japan. Yeah, this is a big acquisition and I was a little Surprised to see that it wasn't getting more pick up in the US press But line if for one thing is a is a is a huge company in Japan on the tech scene That is looking for a way to continue making money as it Plateaus on its messaging app system and getting into creating a bank Seems like a really good way to do that and also striking a deal with 10 cent to say hey all those Chinese tourists with we chat We'll process those we'll take a cut of that also seems like a really smart move as well Yeah, we were just talking the other day about the idea of you know to do You know if Google is sort of our new bank or Apple pay and and all these types of services Yeah, I mean line partnering to create a new bank that will that will work within the app Is that something that freaks anybody out or is this just the evolution of the new financial world we live in? it seems like a step for sure actually creating a bank and Especially given the ownership of the new entity Mizuho if I'm not mistaken. It's not a small bank It's not a thing that they found you know That's a small local outlet and they have the know-how for the technical know-how so they would partner with them It's a large at least national entity Again, I Still Line is gonna own 51% of the bank and it's an app that didn't exist 10 years ago So in that that balance of power, it's really interesting to note that Line is dominant not the huge bank. Well and also as as apps come and go And fall out of favor for a variety of reasons. What if if if and when that line starts to I don't know lose users. What happens to the bank. How does that? How does what does that look like down the road to that could be a blessing and a curse, right? You know rightly so like if this bank this bank is not Mizuho. It's set up by Mizuho It's gonna be operated by Mizuho, but potentially it could be used for other things Maybe line but just becomes a bank in the future as as the messaging app declined in that sense I think also people might not realize line is huge in Japan. It's essentially Facebook or WhatsApp It's kind of indispensable and it might be that once you have your a bank account there You don't you can have multiple bank accounts in different banks But it might be that you can't get rid of line. They're like well, it's my bank That's a good that's a good way to make sure that your your apps is really popular Gotta use it Amazon Web Services vice president of infrastructure Peter DeSantis introduced the AWS Gravitron processor on Monday Instances using the Gravitron will be called EC2 a1 and can run apps written for Linux red hat and Ubuntu The arm-based processor will be offered alongside instances using Intel and AMD processors Particularly Amazon Linux Amazon's own distro of Linux on its own processor now running in the cloud I mean, is this like when you buy the Amazon house brand of of shirt or cable now There's an Amazon house brand of processor running your cloud instance Yeah, I mean that's exactly what this is on basics for your processor That's the this is the beauty of an arm processor, right? Is that it's an open design you do have to license it But it's not prohibitively expensive, especially for a company like Amazon It's not easy to design a chip But I think it does say something that more and Google has done this as well Apple obviously designing its own chip more and more companies are Deciding to design their own chips Amazon acquired a company that does this sort of thing for this very reason It's interesting because it means they have more independence on the hardware side as well for their server business But it's another step in the entrenchment of these companies that own everything they do It does it's not the biggest concern in the world because it's kind of a little bit opaque You know, it's not very for a consumer facing but still AWS is as we keep repeating every couple of weeks gigantic and Now they don't need anyone to keep running kind of I'm exaggerating look I put on my basics Shirt and and jeans. I sit down at the desk. I bought on Amazon I pushed some code from Amazon Linux up to the Amazon Graviton powered cloud instance while I eat some whole foods for lunch What's the problem Patrick? Exactly Things are inherently worrisome, but when you put them all together, it's kind of starting to look like I don't know something worrisome Folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day Don't forget we have a show called daily tech headlines that does it for you in five minutes Hups you keep up at daily tech headlines comm all right We're gonna talk about a ruling From the French data regulator, I call them CNIL. There's lots of ways Say what? Kneel Kneel yeah, I'm often stuff incorporated I'm gonna describe how real-time ads work to help you understand Kneel's Actual ruling and then we're gonna discuss what the implications of this would be so pay attention and hang in there This is important to understand this issue though because it could have huge implications For you as an end user as far as how you're advertised to you and what services can be provided on an ad-supported basis so Vectory is the company who's Affected directly by this ruling vectory is what's called a demand side platform DSP for short Basically demand side means they service advertisers advertisers have a demand to place an ad vectory helps them out now The following process I'm gonna describe takes less than a hundred milliseconds. All right. This is automatic So an advertiser makes a bid they probably even put in parameters to make the bids automatically Let's say one of they one of the bids is they want an ad to reach a 23-year-old female who recently shopped for a jigsaw But also has shown that they like the show Game of Thrones All right that that you can target in those kinds of ways a DSP like vectory handles this by taking that bid and Doing it with an SSP a supply side platform Which places ads with publishers? Vectory says it deletes 70% of the data It receives as part of this process right because the SSP has to say like hey We have this many people who fit that description here. They are they get that data They say we get rid of most of that but Caniel found it had data on 67.6 million users derived from 32,708 mobile apps now a lot of this programmatic advertising and the reason for SSPs and DSP is Because we don't have rich cookies that you can set like you do on a desktop browser on mobile especially for apps So you need these ad targeting companies that say we collect all this data together to help you target because we know You can't just set a cookie and use that Vectory like others in this chain ad exchanges SSPs etc often rely on the publishers Like the apps to get consent for them and that's important for the GDPR the GDPR requires Consent before you can collect and use this data. So Caniel ruled that when apps asked users for consent to gather the data to make all this work They did not follow GDPR requirements for informed free specific and unambiguous consent Informed because Vectory didn't According to Caniel Tell everyone exactly what partners would receive the data on the first page You could click I accept without ever seeing that users had to choose to refine their preferences then scroll down Then I'll click a link to see the partners and Caniel said no that doesn't that doesn't qualify as informed It wasn't free because Vectory pre-tipped the boxes which is against GDPR Recital 32 it wasn't specific because Vectory used some non-standard language on the consent screen and Caniel found it imprecise and Here's the big one. It was ambiguous Article 7 of GDPR requires that any company like Vectory Show a chain of consent for each user by purpose that the user said yes It is okay to use my data for that purpose Vectory thought they'd satisfied this because they had contracts with these supply side platforms with these apps To get consent from the people and they said look we got a contract right here It says they will make sure that they get consent for the purpose and Caniel said look the mere presence of a contractual clause is not enough Vectory must validate that expressed consent. They can't just point to the contract. What if it's not being enforced? You've got to audit that you've got to do your due diligence Now why this could be a precedent is that the International Advertising Bureau relies on a constant blow by contract to make this long Complicated ad process work and by the way, I simplified it just now if you thought it was complicated the way I described it It's much more complicated than that in reality And if the contract part of this is not valid that entire programic ad system would have to change significantly That may not be the problem IAB Europe's CEO Townsend Fian told TechCrunch that he doesn't think Vectory implemented it correctly He said look we've got a framework. They probably didn't implement it Right and back in September Armand Heslott a privacy and security expert at Caniel Said on a panel in Cologne that the IAB framework is not perfect, but it's going in the right direction So it's not like they've said yeah, this is this is not okay in the past But what if it isn't we we have some some folks out there Johnny Ryan of the browser brave is among people who've been filing complaints saying These chain of consent contracts are not sufficient and they've been filing complaints all over they're very pleased about this decision they're going to use it in future complaints and if They are able to get it thrown out Real-time bids with that kind of highly specific targeting would not be possible anymore You could still do real-time bids, but you'd be limited to targeting your general region like well that person's in the LA area We can target them based on that or that person's in the Helsinki area We can target them based on that but we wouldn't have the more specific information This is how duck duck could go does it duck up though is a privacy based search engine It does adds, but it does them based on what they call real-time interest So if somebody searches for game of thrones, no, okay a game of thrones that might be surface But they don't know who the person is searching for game of thrones They just go based on what's being searched at the time Johnny Ryan I mentioned him of the private web browser brave leaves. This could end up eliminating clickbait Since it would be hard to buy an audience cheaper somewhere else like you can right now and Prices would rise for the good publishers And it would possibly reduce the dominance of Google and Facebook So and that's all the time we have thank you very much. We've got a couple more minutes. I know that's a lot to explain But in the end you can see where we've got this very complicated ad system We've got this ruling that says hey the whole thing that this whole ad system is predicated on might might not be valid So forgive the very obvious question here, but we're talking about whether or not this is this is a precedent And what it'll mean going forward who decides that what you know, who has to make a enough of a You know a stink to actually change anything if this is indeed is a precedent the next Regulatory agency that rules on one of these complaints from Johnny Ryan and friends Is the next piece in that there's not gonna be one one supreme person who who puts it in place I think I'm right about that Patrick. I wonder if you know a vector you could change the way they do it and conform to the IAB's Framework and then Go back to the Kneel and say all right, you know, we fixed it. What do you think now and maybe they could say? Yeah, this works. This is this is better You know if I I'm gonna put on my anti You know pro-privacy European hat for a second and I Think a lot of your audience probably heard all of this and thought oh my god, those Europeans are crazy They're impeding, you know the the march of progress and of course you're gonna have issues like this because you you shouldn't have the government Metal in what is a technical? issue but if you agree that Private information it should be protected which Europe did with you know different things including GDPR and I would add I think a lot of The world also agrees on on principle, you know If you agree that private data should be protected and should be Not should not be given without consent This is the kind of thing. This is the kind of issue you have to get into and you have to arbitrate on so Yes, it is complicated. Yes, it seems kind of Overly technical But the important question isn't whether or not Oh Damn, I forgot their name already Vector vector Lee. Yes. Thank you. Sorry. So vector II Did or didn't comply with the GDPR? I think the more important question is Should you worry about your private data at all because again? I think if you do then these kinds of questions are inevitable as we Out what we can't and can't do With that type of the data because the system is like this super complicated Yeah, I think I think what's my guess is going to happen is Caneel Or or another agency will will have another decision and be able to show It wasn't that they relied on a contract It's that they didn't do enough to make sure they were using their contract as a shield for bad practices And that's why we busted them and if you're relying on a contract and you've done due diligence and they're reliable contracts And you can show that it won't be a problem. And I also think if I understand this correctly, which I might not I also think if they let this slide it could then open the door for other types of companies to Again decide that they're gonna work this through a contract and then say well, we had the contract We didn't know what was happening and and illicit more or worse type of behavior So it's important maybe possibly to to say no, sorry this kind of Construction legal construction for your responsibility in this can't be validated in the GDPR framework Well, I don't think this is the last we've heard of this story But you know what you can do with stories This in the future is submit them to our subreddit Thanks to everybody who does that submit stories and vote on others at daily tech news show dot reddit comm You can also head on over to our Facebook group Facebook comm slash groups slash daily tech news show Let's see what's in the mail bag. Oh, it came all the way from Cape Town Thinus wrote in and said your story on the Wi-Fi speeds being below mobile networks makes complete sense for South Africa Broadband penetration is very low and also very costly Most of it is still ADSL with fiber being rolling out slowly 4g coverage on the other hand is far better our biggest networks the Vodacom and MTN achieved 85% and a higher population coverage and they also signed roaming agreements with the smaller two networks to boost their coverage The report makes sense to me data However, remains very expensive on mobile limiting the benefits of these speeds for the bulk of the population Love getting feet on the ground reports like that. Thank you so much. Hey in Finland A lot of people have unlimited data plans on mobile and use that only so it's not as fast as Wired, but a lot of people use that and they're very happy with it Well, thanks also to Patrick Beja for being with us this wonderful Tuesday Patrick. What has been going on since we saw you last? Ah Lots of things as always but one thing I would recommend people go check out is MVG be the monthly video game briefing You can get a quick briefing about the video game industry and the news that matters to people who are not super hardcore Gamers but more casual or want to know what's happening for their children or their co-workers and things like that And it's an offshoot of DTNS as you might have guessed by the name we co-host like My co-host is Scott Johnson on that show. It's just once a month. So easy to get into and it's available at Daily tech news show comm slash MVG be right. Absolutely. Yep. That's right. Yep Also right now. We're trying to get to our Monthly goal of one more patron than last month We've picked up two patrons since yesterday and you could be the next two if you're two people And if you become a patron or even stay a patron between now and December 5th We'll make it worth your while or at least we'll show our appreciation How about that by sending you a holiday postcard with a special message from the DTNS team? Remember you have to give us your mailing address when you sign up on patreon Or if you're already a patron go in and add your mailing address if you want to get the card You don't have to put in the mailing address if you don't want to but we can't get it to you We don't know where you are So do that right now sign up at patreon.com slash DTNS. Do you send overseas? We love getting your yes. Yes overseas excellent anywhere in the world even South Africa our email address is feedback at daily tech news show comm We are live Monday through Friday at 4 30 p.m. Eastern 21 30 utc And you can find out more at daily tech news show comm slash live back tomorrow to talk about the devices Folks need when they're in the military with Anthony limos talk to you then This show is part of the frog pants network get more at frog pants.com Beatmaster says not too keen on giving patreon my address totally understand and You know if that's how you feel we respect that Obviously, we can't send you as something if we don't know your address But do keep in mind that when you enter it into our patreon It doesn't enter it into all patron patreon patreon is very good at segmenting those database entries that only we can access them Not even they can access them. So if that helps, maybe it does maybe it doesn't just clarifying that for beatmaster Good explanation didn't realize that in our discussion today Tom. Oh, thank you get a gold star It was yeah. Yeah. No, I you get a gold star from me because the first time I read the article I was like I gotta read this again. I Mean to be able to condense it down even though it's still pretty complicated topic was No small feat everyone I must bid you adieu until mañana But yeah, have a wonderful and a and a very good day internet Bye-bye I'm actually gonna leave you two alone So it will be like an East meets West episode. Yes, we have all great. We get to talk about Patrick Well, enjoy that Hi Alright Roger, what should we call this GDPR you and compliance or? See Are you in compliance because of the yeah, but I mean it doesn't it's not a very I Don't I don't get why that's funny or clever or somehow. I mean PR you in compliance, it feels like I'm missing something like there's a clever bit here that I'm not getting is what I'm trying to say Oh Oh, I get it now GDPR you in compliance. That was the part I was missing. Oh, okay. I Did I didn't I didn't quite get that I and maybe that's too subtle too high high High concept have a weight too high concept The GDPR you in compliance, but if I is a high concept generally just very I'm just saying maybe we need a different title the GDP oh, well, there's Jay walking bus that's that's the still funny story. Yeah Bus didn't do anything wrong why is it getting shamed It's too long GDPR was wait, where did it go? Oh the the beast has awoke the GDPR beast has awoken Or is that too negative? Well, it's not necessarily consistent with our we didn't make a big deal about the GDPR beast being awoken I may promise something that we don't deliver on I guess is what I'm trying to say Hmm Small ads cause big trouble that's just my pitch Small ads cause big trouble. I like it. Good. That's good Small ads cause big trouble in little China Is that is that what that is big trouble in little China? Is that a real? Yeah, I still think they need to make a sequel except in my sequel it would combine Big trouble in little China with the last dragon Very Gordy's last dragon Big trouble in little dragon Well, the whole thing my my concept here. Here's my high concept. It would be a martial arts slash fantasy epic movie with the descendants of Kurt Russell's character big trouble little China and Leroy in The last dragon That's just my pitch all ads cause big trouble. Well, when you get your shield You should download the Vicky app the Vicky app. Yeah It's it like Vicky from that TV show that's it come It's spelled VA ki and it's from a Rakuten a Japanese company And it mostly just shows Japanese Korean and Chinese drama Are you trying to get me into your circle of Asian drama see if some of the talk did you're imagining like a Martial arts thing and it made me think of the legend of foo. Yeah, which is pretty fun to watch. Oh, yeah We have how it reminds me of Lin Fu There is a character that reminds me of Lin Fu in this but it's not foo. Yeah herself her name is Angela No, her name is Yulan Ah a letter shorts of Disney classic. Yep face on a Chinese Everybody has to leave early W. Scott is ones leaving early. What's with that? All right, so small hands cause big trouble We're exporting now Ah, I don't know man. It's it's fun watching these these Ah Overseas dramas because it changes your perception of of of what's entertaining You know the things that are that are actually common to us dramas But then the things that are different are fun part of it like I'm not maybe as As interested because I grew up watching a lot of these like not because I wanted to just because my mom used to watch I think I think these are very modern though. These are very modern. She would watch the very traditional Yeah, like either it would be their costume period drama or something just very bland. Yeah And I don't watch soap operas in general. So I really have no What's the what's the name for the martial arts Stories like who who she she and I can't remember X Eileen was telling me this yesterday whoo shea W you XIA a Martial heroes genre That's the ones we've been watching I was I I've tried watching the young couple start a business and then they get into a fight. Yeah, no, don't do that That's not what I'm recommending. That's like so It's not like there Yeah These are these are just like Game of Thrones, but in a mystical Chinese or wait wait like Game of Thrones, but mystical so not fantasy Well, but it's it's more of like that that Chinese mysticism where you there's a lot of talk about internal energies and There's there's more of direct magic than game of the emperor of heaven that lives in the Jade Palace. Yeah. Yeah, that kind of stuff Now if you really want to uh, if you wanted there's um Journey to the West has so many spin-offs. I know they're doing one on Netflix, but it's done in Australia That's tradition. That's real traditional. Ah, but it's a great story Actually, so there was a time there was a Taiwanese one I used to watch It was fascinating is they brought that character, but they brought him into a contemporary Taipei Period, so it was like the whole fish out of water right aspect Legend of foo. Yeah, look it up. Look a trailer then, you know, tell me like oh no take your mark This one has all the dudes with their shirts off Are you looking at Vicki? Yeah Okay, you just told me not you just told me to look at yeah, they have lots of different kinds of stuff there Don't look at the one with the guys with the shirts off. Well, no, you can look at the guy Your feel are boring. This is China is called pubescence My love from another star is another good one. It's about a 400 year old alien in Korea Ah his name was John. I don't remember his name now. No, it's a joke. It's John It's like like does he have powers? Yeah, because then it's kind of like star man Hmm. Mm-hmm. Except in the star man TV series His powers for good. He just he just wants to be left alone and get back at home So like so like like a apathetic quantum leap Even quantum leap he's he just he's just alive And he's ignoring everyone cuz like I tell you what I'm watching is I'm watching a lot of Latin American. Oh, yeah movies there was one really funny one from Chile and Try to remember I can't say the name because there's a lewd phrase in it but it came in three parts one was you know, You know f my life and then f my married life and then the third one was about his divorce Became so popular. They made a spin-off TV drama series out of it. It's really interesting because Huh? Oh Netflix They they only have the last one of the of the movie they have the series on Netflix That's weird because I'm trying is it a telenovela style Not the movies the TV series is More like a traditional telenovela But with all the arcade with all the characters and a lot of the existing story arcs brought into it What's fascinating though is and a lot of Latin American movies, especially Mexican and Chilean Ones is like they reuse the same actors. So they're like, you know It's like if you had like a Arnold Schwarzenegger channel and you had all his movies and stuff They you have like these actors that are like in 15 or 20 different series And so it's weird because I don't know what I'm watching because I can only half You know understand the Spanish. Oh, they're not subtitles Sometimes but if I'm not if I'm looking not looking away Like or if I'm just not paying attention sometimes I see the person's like, oh wait, is this this that show? Or is it another show with the same with the same actor, but as a different character? Cuz my my uncle just has a problem with Arnold Schwarzenegger movies It's like saying which one is this one because he knows knows that he knew Arnold Schwarzenegger But he didn't know was this a terminator or was this total recall or was this? The running man or you know, like it's like like what movie is this? Is this the same character? He just happens to be a robot who then like has to run for his life Like I don't know. It's the same actor different movies well, yeah, and then the general website of documentary about The the people who do the the dubbing in in various countries. I think you suggested it to me I started was it on Netflix or was it on the Plane so It's different. I remember something about a movie about a dub Dubbing people who dubs who dubbed Well, here's here's another one with the shirt shirt partially off arrogant loser You should filter by genre The cabin crew that looks nothing like the dance music Group if you filter by genre, then you won't see as many of those or this is only those depending on what you Taiwanese You can use it. These are my people Genre it there. Oh, they have a gay couple one his story, but it's history. Mm-hmm his story How come none of these is go to your parents restaurant after school and help out You haven't written that one yet, that's why drop what you're doing A real-life drama by Roger chain Japanese. Oh Look, someone's going for a Audrey Hepburn look I have to look at these so they're all they're all Drama dramas dirt. They don't do like cop shows or anything like that. They have they have lots of different They have lots of different genres. There's some cop shows. There's some fantasy. There's some sci-fi I remember watching one in Japan that had a bunch of older women in prison And now it was like a drama, but it was all around like this women's prison. Yeah, and like And one of I guess was weird because all these women are supposedly in their 50s and 60s And I guess one of them was bullying the other woman She took a hot iron and she put it on another woman's hand to punish her for ratting her out Vicious for old people Well, if you want more of Roger's TV recommendations and you're listening to the audio or in discord stick around Otherwise, thanks video viewers.
