 Or should I wear it at the end when I talk about I'll put it on. Well, you're wearing it now. Oh, goodbye Too late No sense at all. I don't want to wear it the whole time Man, you just you got plenty you got two more minutes Keep putting it back on and off till you figure out which one do you like? Okay, yeah, so Um Wearables up 10.3 percent year over year. This is Q3. Oh That's Q2. That's IDC's Q2. So that's actually not as Because I already have strategy analytics Q2 numbers in there. Okay The one we just got was was the one we just got was IDC. Yeah, and it was Q2. Mm-hmm okay on this year second quarter earning sales numbers show that wearables are up so Looks like IDC actually backs up strategy analytics. Okay As far as the numbers go They break them out and they break out smartwatch from basic wearables a little bit Okay, it is so too much data heard my head Can't read all this Too much too fast. You're cool with your headlines though, right? I should have asked earlier I am cool with them. I changed It to pod feet podcast at the top so you don't have to remember how to say no silicast That's my new branding, but you know, I just I just learned how to say no silicast like a year ago And you can call I'm still proud to know finally how to properly say it pod feet pod Find pod feet podcast like the no silicast you would say at all. All right. Here we go Three two That's cool. I like that maybe I'll just I'll just report that What was that That was a little phasing of boss jock On an mp3 mind you which I thought the problem was with apes and waves, but apparently not it's a phasing jock It is a phasing jock. All right. Here we go three two Daily tech news show is powered by its audience not outside organizations to find out more head to Daily Tech news show dot com slash support This is the daily tech news for thursday august 31st 2017 i'm tom maren allison charidan alongside today the pod feet podcasts hosts Right That's right. You got it. You can pronounce that tom fresh back from seeing the clips up in oregon I'm ready to do some tech talk. Did it change your mind. Did it change your perspective on the world? It was uh, it was pretty dang cool. I gotta say it was pretty it was pretty amazing But uh, I hope nothing happened in the last two weeks that I need to know about because I didn't pay attention You know a few things happened, but then ifa in berlin is going on right now So it seems like every announcement that had been holding off for august finally happened today If you don't know ifa ifa is the berlin radio show or at least that's what it was when einstein opened it back in 1930 Uh, it stands for international Funkaust along berlin, but they just call it ifa now because they do way more than radio. It's it's it's a big tech show now Fun fun, and we have got all kinds of announcements coming out of it. Let's uh Say hello to our producer roger chang roger. Are you ready? Yes Hi roger. Hello. Let's start with a few tech things you should know Shocking no one apple sent out invites for an event at the steve jobs theater on its new campus in kupertino For september 12th at 10 a.m. The invite reads let's meet at our place. I wonder what they'll announce allison Has there been enough speculation yet? Who knows no one knows what they could possibly be announcing at this event Oh, what are you going to do? Well facebook also announced its new video platform called watch Which will start rolling out to all us users over the next few days You know, I looked at this and I can't figure out what it is It looks like it's another tab that has video, but they already had a tab that was video Yeah, this is a this is a new redesign of that tab Plus it will have a bunch of original shows that they have commissioned Uh from from major broadcasters and publishers If you have it it's immediately obvious like oh, this isn't a bunch of people's cat videos anymore These are these are high quality shows some of them are only five or ten minutes long But they're you know, they're they're produced shows. It's funny. I lean my wife has it on her samsung phone But not on her iphone And does have it on her desktop on one laptop, but not on another so it's kind of weird how it's rolling out But after a few days apparently everybody in the us will have it Okay, because I looked at the little video in the the link we have from the verge and It looked like somebody looking at cat videos me and her or at least you know Somebody's adorable little kid and she was pressing the little laughing button. So it looked the same lift announced its service is available on every road in 40 of the 50 us states now meaning it can pick up customers in 94 percent of the country Which is especially good news for rural customers Now that doesn't say anything about your wait time if you're out in the country, but at least you're at least you potentially have service You know, that's kind of interesting since i've been learning that an awful lot of the united states doesn't have Cellular service, so they're never going to come if you don't have cellular service either Well, yeah, if you have a wi-fi of a wi-fi and yeah, yeah, I suppose that could work Absolutely, yes, they can't you can't track them once once you're in the car. I guess not for a little bit. Yeah Well nest unveiled the nest thermostat e a simplified model with a lower resolution screen that sells for 169 dollars And it's compatible with 85 of homes. Yeah, so it doesn't do humidity. So it wouldn't actually work with your house I know Yes, it's humidity is what I really care about. Well, it you have humidity control, right? um On your thermostat I I can look at it and find out what it is But I don't know I thought you were telling me that you could control it because some some ac Units can can control humidity as well And if yours is one of those it won't work with the nest e it will work with the regular nest If I had whole house air conditioning that would be true, but I I misunderstood you were just saying there is humidity in your house That's a different thing what it is because of my eco v thermostat. I can tell you why I'm sweltering Uh, here are some more top stories at ifa brillen lg unveiled its new flagship smartphone the v 30 now every Detail about this had either been leaked or actually announced by lg in advance So none of this is a surprise But if you hadn't heard the phone features a 6 inch 2880 by 1440 OLED screen with an 18 9 aspect ratio Dual cameras with an f 1.6 aperture lens integrated 32 bit hi-fi quad dac for audio ships with android 712 nougat Though it will get orio support eventually and it supports daydream out of the box If you like the vr inside the phone is powered by snapdragon 8 35 4 gigabytes of lp ddr 4x memory and a 3300 milli amp hour battery It will debut in south korea on september 21st and then move to other parts of the world They didn't give specific dates for that though and they didn't give us a price either So if it's coming out with nougat and orio is when you'll start being able to get updates security updates separate from The carrier stopping you if you bought this through a carrier in the united states, then would you actually get orio? I wonder. Yeah, no, you'll get it. It'll come through the carrier. You'll get you'll get orio six eight months later Okay, no, it's not that bad. Don't be don't be like that Yeah, it should it should come actually the the orio is already coming On the sony phone. It's already out on the verizon version of the galaxy. I think or the pixel It's on the horizon version of the galaxy. So they're getting a little better. It's not six months by any strength Pixel the pixels easy. That's from google. Well, let's talk about the v30 phone though. I mean, what do you think of this as an actual phone? It's very simple, but it's got nice specs and it's well designed all the reviews. I read about it Say it feels nice in the hand. It's compact even though it has a bigger screen all of that I mean nothing revolutionary here, but lg always makes the really nice phones And then they don't sell that well It's definitely really pretty that seems like a really high resolution to me Or have I just not been tracking those numbers lately 2880 by 1440? Yeah, see if you don't use ios you get access to these brighter higher resolution screens Well, I can move along zipline has expanded its quadcopter delivery service to tanzania to become the world's largest drone delivery service zipline began delivering medical supplies in october of 2016 in rwanda Tanzania expects to make up to 2000 deliveries a day to more than 1000 health clinics I love the coolest thing ever I love following this story because I will occasionally see people write like when drone delivery finally arrives or you know, the us is impeding the development of drone delivery I love to point a zipline who've been doing this for years now in rwanda and are expanding to tanzania And are going to be making thousands and thousands of deliveries Delivering medicines delivering blood samples delivering replacement blood It's medical service, but it's needed medical service And they're learning how to deal with weather challenges and and altitude challenges This company is doing this and they have the advantage now first mover advantage always doesn't guarantee future success But I love what zipline is doing and the fact that they're expanding to tanzania I think shows that they're they're doing it well It's really working. Yeah. Well, it made me think of a a guy I saw interviewed in texas Who all all of his high blood pressure medication floated away? And he's like, okay now, what do I do? But you could have I mean you could actually deliver it to the roof of his house Where he was standing underwater, you know, yeah, absolutely Logitech announced a new bluetooth le wireless keyboard the craft with a dial on the upper left for things like image adjustments or Scrolling through an excel document whichever kind of thing you even want to use it for It can switch between up to three devices on windows or mac and automatically adjust its backlighting Based on the ambient light logitech craft keyboard arrives in the uk in september for 179 pounds and in the us in october For 200 dollars. It's kind of like what the microsoft dial does just built into the keyboard Yeah, you know, it's funny. You don't think about buying keyboards that often except for logitech always comes out with something cool I've bought a lot of logitech third-party keyboards even though I never use them I look at them and go wow, that's really awesome And then I don't actually need a third-party keyboard, but they've done some innovative things with their They've got solar ones that recharge themselves and this looks kind of slick I don't know that I need that dial anymore than I need the the little sliders on my touch bar, but I mean Sometimes it's cool. It's maybe maybe but it is it's one of those things that makes a great demo I'm not sure if it really is useful in day-to-day use I'm using a logitech k120 like real super simple It just does things like has keys that I can press But it is a workhorse, you know, and I've been using it for five Seven years maybe longer. Uh, so yeah logitech makes great keyboards. I'm not sure I need to spend 200 dollars For one Although it's wireless and it can handle multiple connections Which that started to make me think well, it would be nice to have a wireless keyboard that I could switch back and forth Between multiple machines on I have one right over there That I should probably let you to see if you actually want one because it'll it'll talk to all three To different devices too. Yeah, it's cool stuff The only people I like keyboards from are logitech and microsoft believe it or not. Yeah microsoft makes good keyboards, too Nice stuff. Nice hard words. Just don't like their software Anyway, Lenovo announced a home assistant pack with amazon voice services that sells for 70 dollars When docked with a Lenovo tab 4 tablet it can act a little like an echo show Lenovo also announced its mixed reality headset the Lenovo explorer It works in a 3.5 by 3.5 meter area with two 1440 by 1440 panels It's 350 dollars or 450 dollars with bundled controllers And we also saw the 13.9 inch 4k Lenovo yoga 9 20 It's similar to the 9 10, but it's slightly thinner and adds two thunderbolt 3 ports for fire Far-field mics and intel's eight generation quad core cpu's the yoga 9 20 starts at 13 29 not bad price There are also a 99 dollar mix 5 20 and nine hundred nine nine hundred ninety nine dollars my my mistake there Oh a little typo. Okay. That's a slight difference. Okay, there we go. There's a thousand dollar mix 5 20 and 649 dollar yoga 720 And Lenovo own Motorola announced the x4 phone will ship with amazon voice services It can stream audio to multiple speakers and headphones at once the x4 comes to europe in september for six 399 euro So apologies to everyone who sat through the Lenovo announcement and just got everything they said from allison in 60 seconds or so Uh a lot there I think the two things that stick out to me are the Motorola mid-range phone the x4 With the ability to stream to multiple speakers at once I don't know that i'll need to stream to multiple headphones at once that often I mean, I guess maybe if I want to share songs with my wife or something, but uh, But being able to do a whole home audio could be nifty, right? Uh, the other thing is that home assistant pack that I can't make up my mind about on the one hand It if you think about it as an accessory to the tab 4 So for a lot of you it may be hard to imagine buying a tab 4 But let's say you did now you've got a speaker that you can dock that tablet in Uh and play music on and do amazon voice services, uh to the tablet. So that's kind of cool But on the other hand it's like well I don't know this this is a 70 dollar amazon echo dot. Otherwise if I don't have a tab 4 Yeah, yeah, that's that's a little rough. I do I do like though. I think you talked about this yesterday Or maybe the day before about what amazon did with the kindle, uh apps putting it everywhere now amazon voice services They're putting it everywhere. Yeah It's almost like, uh, you know cranberry everything's everything's got cranberry in it, right cranapple That may be the more significant part of this is how many of these things amazon got into versus what lenovo is doing because You know, I've been hearing a lot more complaints about lenovo quality, uh on things like the yoga Uh a couple of my friends two different friends who don't even know each other or talk to each other We're complaining to me about lenovo laptops having build problems and having problems getting them fixed And I know that's just anecdotal, but I used to never hear anything about lenovo or thinkpad type stuff so that that raises an eyebrow and the phone Sales have not been strong for motorola Lately so I I don't know that any of these changes the game for lenovo The the weird amazon voice services speaker Dock for the tablet is sort of the beginning of a good idea But I think it would have to work with more than just the tab four for me to be that interested Yeah, it seems like you're you're starting with uh Android tablets, which is a tiny tiny little market. Then it's only lenovo android tablets Then it's only the lenovo tab four tablet And now somebody has to buy a dock to go with it. So now there's like 11 Right, it's like tablets itself is a tiny market Right. Oh, I didn't even start at the beginning was yeah, exactly. I did it just get smaller and smaller from there Sony announced they're not they're busy They're what they're they're very busy lenovo. Yeah, no, they're making a lot of stuff. It's good. It's good They're not they're not just sitting around the house That's it's smart. Uh, sony announced the xberia xz one phone It has a built-in scanner for making 3d images You can like take a selfie of course is what they demonstrated with and it's got a 3d avatar of you That you can use for things The 3d scanning is detailed enough to be 3d printed so that could be interesting You could scan some objects and print them can also capture video at 960 frames per second Which is great for super slow mo if you're into slow mo This is a dream come true and it includes things like predictive autofocus and rapid burst image capture The 5.2 inch phone sells for 700 dollars and ships with android orio start in september 19th Sony also announced a smart speaker with google assistant the lfs 50 g for 200 dollars that comes in october A gopro competitor camera called the rx0 for 700 dollars coming in october and their own version of an airpod like wireless earpods Those range in price from 200 to 350 dollars 350 dollars for the ones that kind of like the airpods those wireless earbuds coming in september See this the experience xc one phone It really lights me up more than the other one. We were just talking about I mean 3d 3d scanning That's that's pretty cool now again very very narrow market of people who are doing anything like that But that's still pretty stinking cool. There's enough people interested in doing slow mo stuff That's pretty neat. I don't know and it comes with android orio. I don't have to worry about if i'm going to get orio I don't know that sounds more intriguing to me than what was the phone. We were talking about the lg Yeah, which has apparently fled your mind already. It was that an interesting Yeah, I I think that sounds pretty slick. I uh Sony is an image sensor company And they tend to use the Xperia line to show off their image sensors, which some people knock them for but I think it's smart Sony knows they're not going to win the android smartphone race easily And the one way they can differentiate themselves is to put their image sensors in there that they're working on So so why not with on the off chance that one of these really does capture the imagination and everybody flocks to it So what did they say anything about the gopro competitor for seven hundred dollars? Oh, yeah, no, it's a little bit more expensive than the gopro But it's actually not that much more expensive. Uh, and and it's the kind of thing that can be done It's more for 360 Camera capture. So you buy several of these and you make your own 360 degree capture rig, which is way cheaper than those big rigs that you have to buy from say nokia or somebody like that Okay That seems uh I just I'm trying to remember I'm racking my brain So I don't remember how much the gopro hero five was that I just just bought but uh, I don't know Roger you were gonna say something No, I'm I'm I'm wondering if sony is just uh, I mean, I know they're testing the wires with the sensor, but they might be test Proofing out their uh, manufacturing capability because if they can upsize That center to a full frame sent a sensor and stick it in the camera I mean, it's total that's total red, you know, uh, red camera territory that they could easily Also in Your uh hero five sells for four hundred dollars Yeah, four hundred dollars. This is 700. That's a lot more Yeah, well, did did you read the engadget article about it? I didn't get that far no Yeah, it's It's a 15.3 megapixel CMOS sensor A 24 millimeter Zeiss lens fixed at f4. It's bigger than any sensor available on any current gopro model So this is and and if you look at that if you if you look at the page here I'll I'll pull it up for you on the screen as well That's what it's for. It's for making a big rig of a bunch of these things Uh and Yeah, exactly and it can't be used similar and go pros trying to pitch themselves as this kind of thing like hey You can get several go pros and make yourself a a diy 360 as well. So oh, yeah. Yeah No disputing though that this is way expensive. It's 700 bucks.

That's 200 to 300 dollars And then the vivo active three smartwatch is their flagship one That's 300 bucks and has garmin pay built-in Which is powered by fit pay so you can attach your v-ser mastercard and do nfc payments And it also has sunlight readable trans reflective screen on it samsung. Of course, we mentioned yesterday has the gear sport smartwatch available as well as the Gear fit to pro available well the gear the gear sport smartwatch didn't get a release date, but the gear fit to pro goes on sale Today pre-order today at 199 dollars. That's thursday and then earlier in the week We talked about the fit bit smartwatch the ionic That's selling for 299 dollars arriving in october The theme running through all these wearables that were announced at ifa this week is fitness They are all focusing on fitness now. They're no longer trying to be luxury brands or show you their stylishness They they have replaceable bands and stuff like that, but the they're hammering away on You know, oh, we've got access to that great suite of under armor apps, you know that that that all the the great fitness Heads are using out there Are we we're able to to be able to track your swimming? So if you're doing swimming, you can keep this thing on and it'll be up to 50 meters in water That you'll be okay with it and it can track your swimming sessions. It's all about Fitness now allison. I know you are more enthusiastic about wearables already than I am Uh, how do you feel about this shift in focus? It's not really a change, but it's sort of a shift away from the decorative aspect back to the roots of it So I think about the the smart watches is really if if you are into fitness at all or if you want to get fit Then a smart watch is a fantastic way to do that But that isn't the What what happens after that is the other features that really come out So i'm a fanatic at watching my rings and and you know like oh man I I watched the windows yesterday and forgot to oh my watch is telling me to stand up right now Um, I forgot to turn on my my workout and I was all mad about that You know, I want to get credit that kind of thing and uh that that is a big feature of it to me But there are so many other things That that the watch does for me that I I've heard you complain about a few things I wish I could remember what they were right this minute But or you'll say something in a in a and not talk about wearables and I'm thinking yeah the watch you gave away Would have done that for you Every night I get all my stuff together to go upstairs And my arms are full and I realize I haven't turned the lights off Well, I can say hey s lady turn off my lights and I don't know why that just makes me really happy Then walking around and going and doing it and so finally my hue lights I care that they exist but but it's only because of my watch Well, I do the same thing with the amazon echo and I don't have to wear anything Yeah, that's true. Only if the amazon echo is in that room It is and or if you buy a bunch of them in all of your rooms I have it with me all the time any room. I'm in a bigger house I'm running around down on the beach And I realize that Dave Hamilton was wrong on the mac geek app as I'm as I'm exercising And I can look at my wrist and say remind me to tell Dave that he was wrong when I get home I do this all the time. I pester the smr podcast guys I pester you but it's because I can set reminders using my watch if I have an internet connection, which I Well, and and you're particularly talking about voice I I think what you're what you're identifying that I've complained about with voices Well, when the voice is in my pocket I have to take it out And what you're saying is if I've got a wearable on I don't have to take it out. You can just talk to it Yeah, and sometimes it's It's it's really handy to not be rude Okay, if you're if your phone lights up you've got it sitting on the on the table Or you've got it in your pocket and and you're having dinner with somebody and it lights up or or it buzzes You have to pull it out to find out if you care I can glance at my wrist and go no don't care and somebody isn't that also rude That's the universal sign for I'm bored. Is it time to leave? Well, it depends on what you do after that if you look Back down and start talking to somebody then no, it isn't rude. That's same for the phone though But it's much more disruptive to reach in your pocket Pull it out and and make that big motion about it and invariably you get sucked into actually reading it and doing something And the other thing is again a lot of it has to do with exercise when I'm walking the dog I get a message from somebody that I really want to respond to I can dictate it right back into my watch And I'm not taking my phone out and you're getting it out of my spy belt and trying to play with it And I just find that super useful and find my iPhone. Oh my gosh How many times a day do I swipe up on my watch and I press this little button and my phone tells me where it is I do that all the time. Well, yeah in this case. That was pretty dumb, but I just do it all the time. Um, hey, did you know what else you could do with a smartwatch? Tell what time it is You're gonna go there I could ask my amazon echo what time it is Yeah, not when you're out. You can't because you don't have it with you, right? Um, no, that's fair. It's fair. I I don't find those as compelling though and that's just a personal trait, but I I think I see what you're getting at which is Fitness may be the way to get people in the door, but once they get in the door They'll start to find out these other things that they can use the wearable for and that does seem to be what these companies Are banking on wearable shipments 21.6 million units in q2. That's up from 20 million So it's not huge up, but it is up according to strategy analytics IDC had similar numbers that just came out this morning as well Xiaomi's your number one if you're curious at 17.1 of the marketplace fitbit is second and apple third Apple always falls off about this time of year though about q2 Because they're off cycle of the watch releases So if we get a new watch in the fall expect apple to jump back up possibly to first They were first in q1. They fell down to third in q2 IDC expects smartwatch shipments to double from 71.4 million in total of 2017 to 161 million in 2021 Now by comparison keep in mind 20 million in q2 They're looking at about 71 million for the year smartphones ship 341.6 million In q2 alone of 2017 Tablets shipped 37.9 million in q2 wearables 21.6 million so wearables on the rise tablets stagnant wearables getting close to being as good of a market as tablets they just need to get people in the door Yeah You you talked about the slight growth 10% or so in uh And and I started thinking about the people I've started hearing starting to wear these our good friend chris Ashley the smark podcast got an apple watch because he had uh the microsoft band And he got an apple watch and he started working out and exercising. He's lost like 50 pounds He did a whole episode he and rob donewood did a whole episode of the smar podcast about how they've lost weight And the tools that they use to do that and they're he says, I don't know There's something about getting those little rings to go around That just make you go out and do it again So if they can come out with smartwatches that are not ugly I mean some of the ones that you link to in here. I'm sorry. They're just They're revolting. I mean they just really make me sick But so a bunch of them are really nice looking even some of the just Uh, the the ones that are more just for fitness There's some of the more band-looking ones have some beautiful color on them. They look really really nice And I think I think that's that's starting to move it is they're not making them as ugly as they used to Well, we'd love to hear you guys. Do are you a fitness advocate? Do you use a wearable for a different thing or are you waiting for what idc says is the new growth market? Which is clothing and earwear? Uh, those are those are wearable markets that are just getting started and idc says You're going to see triple digit growth now as roger as you pointed out the preshow from zero to three is triple Could be considered triple digit growth But but what they're saying is there is a little bit of clothing and earwear out there It just hasn't sold in large amounts yet and we expect there to be a surge In that growth soon. So I'm I'm curious what people think about wearables now These days, uh feedback at daily tech news show dot com and thanks to everybody who participates in our sub reddit You can submit stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com And we're having great conversations about all of this in our facebook group facebook.com slash groups Slash daily tech news show. Let's finish on an email scott writes. Hey, tom They I think he means us we're talking today on canada and servers And the reason that alberto is a good place to put them because they had lots of natural gas How come they don't convert the natural gas into helium? I understand we have a helium shortage And I understand amazon wants to make airships that they can launch their drones from which to me seems fascinating That you would have a flying warehouse so you can do drone delivery But that means we're going to need lots of helium which I understand is made from natural gas There seems to be lots of natural gas out there, but nobody seems to be making helium I was just curious as to why and how hot it is that amazon airships could be connected to bitcoin mining in canada Uh, well, first of all, you're assuming no one is making helium My guess is you're wrong that people are turning a lot of that natural gas into helium But that there just isn't enough helium Uh, uh, they're not enough people willing to pay for that helium to make it worth it Or or else they would be doing it because this guy who wrote into the show yesterday was complaining that they don't know what to do with the natural gas So I'd be curious to get some clarification from our friend who wrote in yesterday about how much of that natural gas is being turned into helium Uh, maybe it's just too expensive to do it I mean, it's isn't like seven percent Of natural gas can be converted like when you actually, uh, um, just do I don't know is that true? I thought just one of the numbers I was reading up before the show And so when you say seven percent, I'm not sure what you mean So when you convert natural gas to helium, you only get seven percent of the helium Like out of seven out of out of the total mass of whatever amount of natural gas you have So it's not very efficient that could be could be helium with a bunch of other gases as well I see We're saying that to uh, bio cow is saying helium off in a company's natural gas, but not always Okay, um, and so when one So it might be it might just be a cost Thing whereas like well can't find a market to basically sell that at a profit. So Why do it? I mean is that could be one of the calculations where you know, it's just cheaper just to burn it as an energy And so it's not exactly converting it It's basically saying harvest the helium when you're buying the natural gas the same way that when you take a crude oil You can there's only so much percentage that can be fracked out into Gasoline diesel kerosene. I mean it's not a one for one, right? You can't take a barrel of oil and make a barrel of gasoline. You actually You you make a little You can actually oh and you can't make like a full barrel of diesel as well But you can get more gasoline out of a barrel of True, then you can't sorry if continue. No, no, no not at all if If if you have links to support what you say and know about this sort of thing Please email us feedback at daily tech news show dot com and help scott understand it a little more I already understand it a little more just talking to roger in the chat room about it So this is awesome. Thank you. Alison Sheridan for joining us If people want to find out more about those pod feet podcasts, where should they go? Well, they should go to pod feet calm and I wanted to draw special attention to something that steve did recently We went to see the eclipse in portland and he got some great video and and made a great photograph of the eclipse But the the tech angle is how do you capture something like that and yet still experience the grandeur of it? So we have an article on how he did it and it's a lot of tech geekery of how he managed to get this thing set up So that it would run and he could capture this great video and yet still enjoy the experience So we'll have a link in the show notes to pod feet calm where you can see all of that two different videos in a great photo Excellent go check it out pod feet calm and thanks to everybody Who makes the show possible and gives a little value back for the value they get from the show?

Yes. Yes It's pretty much what we said is that they're broadening them out into health Well, he said use we said fitness. He's saying health, which is oh, I see you're not using health and fitness as the Thing so you're saying like medical like I see. Okay. No, that makes Well, one of the articles was uh, did they what did they just figure out? Well, I know apple there. They found the the uh apple watch can diagnose, um, afib And uh, and somebody else was gonna be able to uh, I just want to know how much Meat I can eat before the onset of gout into my system Yeah, and they are these these can do some of that for you They can't track your meat intake though Well, no, they can just tell me it's like well, yeah, you know, you can just have an app for that Well, you just use a Well, no, I don't need a app. It just tells me how much purine I have in my blood system Oh, I get what you're saying. You know, it takes it takes like a Same way they do with diabetics. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha like I don't Some some sort of non-invasive way to say oh the your purine level is here So cut out the meat for the rest of the day or oh you can have a couple steaks. You're fine Yeah, you rub some meat on your arm No on your shirt because you got the wearable Oh of the wearable clothing. I do that every time I get a hot dog. It just naturally Grubs off on a shirt Oh, did you pick a title? No, we haven't picked one yet. I need to pick one time to get fit time to get smart A doll you can turn it to keys you can press kind of like fit is the new black Hmm What does that mean? Like, you know orange is the new black But also they say that black is slimming So it makes you a little more fit when you're wearing black clothes versus because black goes with everything Yeah, and also it's slimming That's what they tell me. That's why it goes with everything Time to get fit time to get smart Let's do that An eclipse in Chile in 2019 Want to go? Do We might you'd be great. She's already talked about already. So wait. Could you just be in Santiago and see it or what part of Chile? Because I don't want to like be on like a weird hike all the way to the northern end of the country Any exercise before you rub your meat on your arm Hey, I said health again I want the health well because everyone that's confusing because everyone says health and fitness Yeah, meaning jogging and stuff you're talking about Actually, what like like medical health. Yes. Yes. I mean, what's a better way to phrase that? I I want health but not necessarily Yeah, medical I guess But then it sounds like you're like, you know, and not indigent, but you're like cooked up to an oxygen tank What No, it doesn't Like oh, you're gonna. Oh one didn't they have a test? Oh, no, maybe I'm thinking something else Or I could tell uh, someone who's epileptic like if they're gonna go into a fit Or no, those were dogs Okay, I think you went off the rails No, if you can have a something like that like, uh, a health monitoring system On your watch they can they can do that. Yeah, they can they can There are devices that can give you a a prediction an alert that you might be having a seizure Is that what you're talking about? Yes. So it tells you you might want to sit Yeah, that I believe that exists I've worked this all up Trying to find out the answer to your question Which one oh goes to Argentina to the eclipse. That's all I care about now You're just an eclipse junkie now. I am they call them eclipse chasers. It goes to Argentina too Oh, well depends what part of Argentina again If it like goes through a big city like Buenos Aires and I could be at the rooftop of my hotel It's true, but you have to have already booked it because it's next year Oh, yeah, I it was unbelievable how uh booked up Uh the areas around portland were we were uh three hours from portland And it's in the middle of nowhere and it was just the reason it was such a good spot That was because it was the driest place in the country. So the highest probability of Uh being able to see it So yeah an embrace smart watch, uh The smart monitor smart watch All do seizure detection Nice There was one came out with something else it could it could tell Yeah, I bet those aren't the only ones those seem like very specialized Possibly insurance friendly devices Or something that could like release time time time release medication I want it all in a watch it all has to fit in a wristwatch Or a god don't you have an apple watch Because it doesn't do that it doesn't it doesn't check my purity levels I have to I'll be honest after I stopped wearing a watch back at tech tv Like I kind of like the fact I didn't have anything on my wrist You know, I was going to say that but it ran out of time. Uh my daughter's 30 and so she never wore a watch And then she got an apple watch and she says I can't believe how convenient it is to go like this to find out what time it is So I've worn a watch many times during my life for years on at an end I I I don't mind having something on my wrist that that is not the problem for me What is your problem, Tom? I who knows, you know, so many people have spent so much time and effort trying to figure that out Three books written about it I just did not find it worth 350 dollars at the time Uh it and granted that was gen one first month. So I might have a different opinion now Eileen loves hers Is he yeah, the the battery life is so much better. That's a huge thing I used to run out. Well, if you don't exercise you get a lot of battery life if you exercise Like we do a couple hours a day it uh, it was done by the end of the day By like eight o'clock at night it'd be out, but now I go to bed with 40 left. So that's a lot nicer I I actually didn't have too much bad luck with the battery life even with that gen one Yeah But I didn't have any notifications on which is kind of the other reason to have it Yeah, well, I think a lot of people ended up with the notifications going crazy and driving them nuts and uh Once you got that under control. It's uh, it's pretty nice Yeah, I didn't I didn't have that problem because I don't really have many notifications on to begin with Yeah But then if I wasn't getting a lot of notifications that seemed to be one of the main reasons to have it so I don't know Yeah I also don't like using voice commands very very often and that's just a weird personal thing that I know is not true of most people You know, I keep getting in arguments with bart about that bart says people in ireland don't talk to their watches It's like, well, that's a dumb thing to say. First of all, it can't be everybody in ireland I'm sure it's not and also how many people have watches that they could have talked to Uh, I love it man. I love being able to dictate to it. It's fantastic I don't want other people hearing what i'm saying You're a hermit who lives in your basement. Tom, what do you mean other people? Wow, I I'm sorry. I just realized you're right Yeah, but you live upstairs. I go outside Yeah I leave you out sometime. Yes, she does she has the keys the dogs, right? Yes How's your new puppy? Oh, she's so good Uh, she's she's really like calmed down and realized she lives here now and is super happy all the time She's gone for being a little nervous to being like, oh my gosh. I have a home and I feel good about life Well, I think she understands now. You're not returning her. Yeah, she finally sunk in This is forever she comes home We have this doggy daycare place we take her to so that she can socialize with other dogs and learn that other dogs are Okay, and that's helping when we go on walks. She doesn't get freaked out when we see other dogs Anymore and so when but when she comes home, she just goes running around the house just didn't glee I get to come back. Yay There's nothing like the reaction of a dog when you come home Yeah, their reaction is like you're the second coming, you know, just like they haven't seen you in four months It's like I'm to the gym really Yes, but it was an hour or more Contrast that with the with a cat He could be gone a year and he's like, oh Throm wall points out tom's a newscaster that doesn't want people to hear what he's saying I don't mind people hearing what i'm saying now It's when i'm saying hey remind me to call the doctor about that rash I don't want to say that out in public Uh call doctor about the you know what about the in the you know where yeah, that's not good That'll be like, wait, what was that? I remember what that was about That's funny. I love talking to my devices But I don't talk to my phone very often I talk to my watch a lot Well, because yeah, that's more convenient that part makes sense to me where it's like suddenly it becomes more useful because it's just there Same reason amazon echo is better than a phone because it's just there and the watch is always going to be there no matter where you are I'm still intrigued by the echo because I know a people a really good friend of mine has an iphone Where's an apple watch every single day and he goes on and on about how amazing all the things he can do with his amazon echo are like You can do everything you just said with your watch. I have to say the echo works better than than siri does Yeah, well, he's not asking the questions. He's like I can have it play music Yeah, you can do that, you know, it's on a on a better speaker Yeah I mean arguably not that much better, but still better Oh dogs and their excitement and amazon i've realized exactly uh what it is the amazon echo Is a dog and siri is a cat So the amazon echo how often does it go? Yeah, what what did you want? Were you talking to me? I'm right here and siri's just like yeah Maybe i'll answer More like that's very true amazon echo doesn't doesn't say anything to you unbidden usually but but yes It is it's right there. I'm talking all the time. Oh really acting like we're talking or we're watching tv We're talking to each other all the time She's like I don't like it all excitement. You must just say Looks a lot Let's go to the part see. Yeah That's that's interesting. I wonder what it is about your speech patterns that cause do you have a relative With that name or something my name is allison. Oh that could be It might be but it'd be like tv. We'll be watching a movie and she's off there going I didn't quite catch that and i'm not talking to you Shut up siri never responds when you are talking. No, I know. Yeah, no that part is absolutely true Hey, hey, hey, i'm talking to you Uh, also all of these voice assistants Have problems doing what I really want them to do like I have to know how to say things exactly right Whenever I just say like hey send a text message. They'll be like I can't do that right now or or better yet I say hey send a text message while i'm driving right and then it sends the text message and then i'm like, okay Uh start playing my podcast again. I'd be like, I don't know what that is. No, great. Yeah Now i'm now i'm screwed All right. Well, thank you all for joining us. Uh, we had a lovely time. I hope you did too And I had fun.
