Spend more on Improving/creating better product rather do this type of Marketing BS & learn to take criticism if you want to be "cool unique techie brand". Ear 1 were dogshit & that is me being soft. Frequency response was all over the place & treble was the worst. Samsung Buds & airpods pro are light years ahead in Sound quality & ANC.
i used to work at an at&t store and this one time a blind dude walked thru and his iphone was on screen reader mode. I've never understood how to use it because it totally takes over the whole way you interact with the iphone, but the dude was ZOOMING thru the phone at blazing speed, with the voiceover speed cranked so fast that i couldn't understand it (im sure he got used to it). needless to say i was very impressed with the iPhone's screen reader, and as an android user that has poked around with the accessibility settings out of boredom, i can confidently say that iphone completely blows androids accessibility out of the water i must ask, how difficult is it to deal with shorthand internet lingo? does it try to pronounce stuff like lol, fr, bc, tm, or does it say the letters?
This podcast brings me such happiness. Very easy to listen to without being boring. Very funny without being unorganized. Very informative without being arrogant . Amazing podcast as always
The way this podcast has grown with the addition of David and the Producer cam with Ellis and Adam is fantastic. Added even more to what was already a great podcast.
Man. Seeing the conversation going from David bringing up an insole that charges your phone to Andrew saying it was probably a "Kickstarter" is a missed pun I wish was acknowledged xD
@@Liamletsgo666 what chu on about? Bro that trend died ages ago, have you been livin under a rock? The really cool guys and gals only watch videos at 91x speed. No compromises.
Loved this week's episode! Appreciate the banter and "loose" feel of this when rather than it being purely technical. Ellis's science facts and simplifying those in a way that's easy to understand makes these episodes so entertaining! Great listen.
Thank you for start bleeping the "hey Google" in the podcast. While watching the podcast, my phone just reacted to the voice commands like 3 times because of Andrew 😂😂😂
My mum got a courtesy car while hers was being worked on, that car had everything on a screen. She couldn't figure out how to adjust the heater which was left on hot, so she just opened the window to let the heat out. Buttons and switches just work ...AND they work with gloves.
How is that different than a screen. The screen just works if you know where to look. If you don’t know which button does what you want you can get just as stuck.
@@MiguelY22 Also a lot of newer cars use temperature controls, where it manages the fanspeed and direction, heat/ac strength, etc. based on your desired temperature. By default the controls are just buttons to turn up or down this temperature, with no direct control over the fanspeed or direction. So if there are ever times when you need manual controls, for example to defog the inside of your windshield in certain weather, you have to manually open the menu, click the fan direction, and raise the fan speed, etc.. It's horrible. And even cars with physical controls suffer from the screen, since they have to move the controls to make space for the screen. My car has a physical knob that can change fan speed, direction, etc., but ALL the options are on the same knob and you have to cycle through fan speeds, direction, etc. by selecting the option you want to change and then twisting the knob. The "auto" button is also on this knob, and if you accidentally hit it then it resets all your settings to 0 when you turn it off again. It's better than a touch screen but still so much worse than how things were before.
@@matthewgarber5517 that's the thing, when you're in a car the only thing you have to look is forward. A real button stays there, you don't need to aim perfectly for it to press and you have tactile confirmation that you've pressed it. For smaller functions a touch screen is ok, but for those basic main features there must be a physical button to press, at that point you rely solely on muscle memory without keeping the eyes off the road.
There was something very satisfying about pounding away on an old IBM manual computer keyboard. The physical, the clacks sound, the feeling of enduring solidity…. It was like making a great golf shot… the entire experience taken together was rewarding…. And you never inadvertently hit a second key …. Dang that was a great keyboard
I agree with Marques. i think haptics are not overrated...it gives more dimension to using technology when it's done right, especially now and going forward, its not just for feel but feedback. Software alone can only do so much, and moving hardware it can replace sometimes has lot of drawbacks.
Small correction, the ID2 is an eletric version of the VW Polo, not the Golf. The eletric Golf is the ID3, been out since 2019. So the ID2 is a smaller segment car than what you were talking about.
You think?? Well, maybe on the surface, if you don't think to hard (or at all) about the whole set up. Because there's a few things that I think you completely ignored or didn't realise. Imho, it was a very poor choice indeed by MKBHD and the other channels, to agree to being featured in this presentation/launch event/commercial, by "Nothing". Why? Because Carl P. used all of your good reputations to legitimize yet another very arguably sh*tty half-baked product. MKBHD & Co + the other tech channels, are also not going to be able to make an unbiased review of these "Nothing Ear (2)'s" now when they come out, given that they're being paid by "Nothing" to market their product. At the very least not, in the eyes of your somewhat educated, not too gullible group of viewers at least. Yeah, this is an absolute NO NO in the world of tech reviews, in mine and most other honest peoples opinion. Funny how they didn't even mention how much they got paid by selling out like this. Nor, that they got paid at all.. smh.. smh.. Also.. didn't MKBHD and Mrwhoestheboss make a video each about how "Nothing" played the entire cream de la cream, of the tech review community here on YT when they launched the Nothing Ear (1) and their Nothing phone?? Woooow.. yeah I'm lost for words..
13:43 I've always been for physical buttons. Honestly this should be regulation. Where certain functions are required to be physical buttons, and other key ones are required to be 1 click or a button. Or something like that. But then others like... adjusting the bass/treble can be w/e, unregulated
18:00 my mom really thought there was like dirt in her keyboard when she first turned off her keyboard. She thought it jammed because it wasn’t clicking.
The S8 and S9 both had a pressure sensor at the bottom middle. And the fact that they had an Iris scanner made it mimic an underscreen fingerprint scanner when I hard pressed on it and it scanned my iris and unlocked the phone. It was fun imitating my sibling's more expensive phones.
Bing is seriously so underrated, even with all the hype around it. Bard being so sh!tty yet again proves just HOW far ahead Bing with GPT-4 is. What a time to be alive.
Just for the record guys, unfortunately the Golf did not sell that well in the USA and was discontinued, only the GTI and Golf R are sold here, the old basic model is not, its surprising for sure!
About the dodge: the claimed 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile was tested on a prepped drag strip (very sticky). It would be impossible to do that on a normal surface. Still sick tho
Is it an actual button/hardware bit or can you program it anywhere on the screen? I have a Note 9 and it's so satisfying using it instead of the power button.
@@deRykcihC It does work. I'm asking if it's possible to enable it on other phones as well(meaning it's software based), or is it restricted because of actual hardware?
@@Leanzazzy its a hardware restriction, Samsung made the small area a 3D touch area so you can hard press or light press, future Samsung's phone doesn't have it anymore.
As a design engineer, automotive applications that moved to touch screen is both cheaper, and lazier than implementing physical button. Cheaper because literally less moving parts, and lazier because you can just move all these things into software. I no longer need to design a momentary switch to switch to AC mode. Should the software fail however, there will be problems. It’s just infuriating when you have to touch a capacitive button to switch the dial knob from fan speed to volume.
From a UX perspective: haptics enhances usability of touch-based interfaces as it presents feedback to the user to acknowledge a touch input action. But there is a spectrum of haptic design quality amongst systems, so I understand why there are people who like or dislike it.
I am with Andrew here. I also turn the haptics off on every phone except maybe something like Galaxy S series which has good haptics. But since I usually not use it, so I keep them off in every phone.
The S8 also had this weird on- screen but clickable home button. I still have it and use it as a backup phone. I like how it works, and it does feel quite like a button, but it's haptics. The interesting thing is that you can use it to wake the phone. And because of the haptics, and how secure/accurate it works (it really never fails), in my mind it's truly feels and I think of it as a real button. Even though I know it's not.
Love this podcast, the trivia is always fun and interesting. 2 ideas: -Why not have a tablet to write the trivia on, and have it displayed like Jeopordy. A little scribble answer below each name/score. -Is there a reason the end credits that Andrew says every week isn't a pre-recorded sound bite?
Oh man hahaha I thought I was thinking big when I asked dbrand to make those whiteboards….now this is interesting. As for Andrew reading the logo, we will never let him stop
I was asking Bard politically charged questions and it was surprisingly good at answering them without bias. For instance when I asked Bard, "what is a woman" it answered both biologically, and socially.
Man, I really miss the 3D Touch home button on the Galaxy series. I had mine on the S9 and it was a huge part of my experience especially to turn the screen on since there was no double tap to wake.
20:39 The S8, Note8, S9 and Note 9 were the ones which had the haptic motor simulate home button same as the iPhones, however since they switched from 16:9 to 18:9 aspect ratio, they just made it look like it was immersive since it was within the screen.
I think one day we are going to see a job like an "AI limit tester" where people would simply go and ask the most weird, brutally stupid questions to see how far AI goes lmfao. Also kinda dope to see Microsoft pushing Bing further, when for example Google whenever one of their services goes slightly wrong, they shut it down almost instantly, I'm hoping that doesn't happen to Bard, but it's Google so I wouldn't doubt it 🤷♂
@@SelmanYasirSezginGoogle isnt going anywhere.I still feel,even how much ai becomes good in doing things,people will still use google to find search results or websites or forums.
Piezoelectricity should be generated by anything that applies mechanical stress to a solid matter, judging from the mechanisms of piezo channels which respond to mechanical stress. Oh 2021 Nobel prize in Physiology was awarded to the discovery of these channels.
Good haptics are severely underrated by some people. Think the PS5 controllers with their adaptive triggers. Amazing tech and it feels fantastic. Good haptics in a phone can feel the same way
You should watch Not Just Bikes video on SUVs. It is crazy that you think it is the problem of small cars that they are unsafe. It is the problem caused by SUVs being exempt from most safety rules.
I really like all the cool things they have added to cars with a big touch screen, but basic things need to still be a real button you can press without being distracted. Volume control on a steering wheel is very useful
Haptics on the phone is essential. If a phone has a bad haptic motor I won't buy it. Got a s22 ultra and I get that people miss notifications but the feel of the haptics is so good. Setting a timer in the stock clock app with the haptics and sound is the most satisfying phone interaction I have had so far.
Any phone with linear actuators or anything similar has infinitely better haptics than a basic rumble motor. That is the same/similar haptics used by Nintendo Joycons, PS5 duel sense, and many vr controllers.
Just a little tip, checkout the smart crash test videos they are far from a coffin on wheels, the whole darker coloured part of the body is basically a crash cell.
I don’t know how you didn’t get that second trivia question, the only option that makes sense to do with feet is squish, you don’t usually melt, poke or digest anything with your feet but you definitely squish stuff
Just to clear something up, the Macbook trackpad (and the Magic Trackpad) surface definitely DOES move. It's just that the click is simulated by the haptic motor. The iPhone 8/SE home button otoh, does not move indeed.
