I am with you on this one. I have been wanting this since that one movie in 2001. "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" Not a good movie, but the idea of casually recording your dreams really stuck with me.
The 'Internet of Things' is a lesson in not only how to get people to agree to having their house bugged, but making them pay for the service themselves.
I'm not paranoid about the 'Internet of Things'. What's more pertinent to me is that all these gadgets will be routed to a single point of failure, your ISP. If you have an ISP that has never gone down due to crashing or maintenance or weather issues or whatever, I envy and salute you. But in the real world, are we ok with not being able to check our locks, garage door, baby monitor footage, etc., just because there's a network outage? I have a wi-fi cable box, and the annoying thing is that if the internet goes down, I'm also unable to watch tv.
@@olotocolo Nobody's worried about secret police yet, but corporations holding and selling data on you IS a real problem that could affect your life. Data can be sold to banks, who decide whether to give you a loan, or to insurance companies, who decide how much it costs for you to run your car, or in countries without public healthcare, how much it costs for you to not die.

Almost all the use cases seem either trivial (asking to search something/setting up remainders and so on, I can easily do it with regular touch input with minimal time lost) or utterly useless (why do you even need to track sleep, heartbeat and so on?

"We need to take back control and have control over our products. Currently, Google Nest 7-inch speaker screen has a serious problem ever since their most recent update. We suspect it may have something to do with the Thread protocol for low-latency IoT devices, as it has disabled user control over the service port. In the previous version, the speaker screen can use an Ethernet adapter, using the standard Ethernet protocol in user mode. This allowed it to function like a PC, simply requesting internet access. However, with the new update, it forcefully requires a Wi-Fi connection for hardware reasons instead of seeing the ethernet adapter right away and using that as its gateway. The more Wi-Fi products you have that you cannot physically control, the more potential security holes are created. We are well aware that IoT devices often have security vulnerabilities, and this new update opens a potential security hole for anyone to exploit, especially now that it operates on the IoT-centric Thread protocol. This change means that once someone gains access to your network through a network hole, they can easily navigate their way to the rest of your network. In contrast, the previous version acted as a PC, using layman's terms, and only requested internet access. Other Google products still operate in this manner, acting as simple internet access devices even with USB ethernet adapter is connected to them. The Nest Hub's 7-inch screen acts as the master device and will disable your entire network if it is plugged into an Ethernet adapter. This is because it attempts to simultaneously use the Thread protocol and an Ethernet adapter. However, disabling the service port as a direct user mode Ethernet connection is not the only problem. Many people around the world prefer and require Ethernet products for various reasons, one being that radio frequencies can cause migraines for some individuals. There is an area in the United States called the **National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ) facilitate scientific research and the gathering of military intelligence ncludes portions of West Virginia, Virginia, and a small part of Maryland which is a large area of land designated as a radio quiet zone. transmissions are restricted by law to facilitate scientific research and the gathering of military intelligence Everything there operates on either old-school or direct connections, with no Wi-Fi, cellular, or radio. Unfortunately, not everyone can live in such a city, so many of us do our best by using as many Ethernet products as possible, not only for security but also for health reasons and a lot of people deliberately move therefore medical reasons as well , unfortunately we all can't do that. However, with the removal of the Ethernet user mode, it is no longer possible to use Ethernet-based products with Wi-Fi-based products together in certain scenarios. If you have a group speaker system or nearby speakers for communication, you cannot have them grouped together. It's a choice between using all Ethernet or all Wi-Fi. Since Wi-Fi still operates on a "wait your turn" protocol, proper synchronization does not occur, leading to frequent signal interruptions. If you attempt to use both Wi-Fi and Ethernet together, problems arise. For instance, if one speaker is near another speaker, both may try to respond simultaneously. Due to Wi-Fi delays, systems can easily become confused, answering the wrong unit or misinterpreting questions, statements, or requests. This causes further headaches and frustration when simple commands cannot be processed, even if you are just one foot away from the intended product, as a product located 10 feet away or more may somehow hear it first due to Wi-Fi delays but if they were all ethernet connected which they used to be that would not be a problem simply because ethernet is not on a wait your turn basis and hardware can understand who comes first via ethernet instead of wait your turn Wi-Fi. Honestly, these products need more user interface options, allowing users to choose the protocols they want to use. For example, users should be able to decide whether they want to use the Thread network or use a product as a router. Users should also have control over how they want to use the Ethernet adapter and many other features. Since it's a closed network, where Google could easily provide a simple interface where users can go through the options and select their preferences. This way, users can ensure their security, health, peace of mind, and sanity are not compromised, instead of leaving everything solely up to Google's control. We need more choices and control over our hardware. It's not that difficult to implement software for hardware and offer users special screens that ask how they want to use new features or whether they want to enable specific functionalities. Unfortunately, Google seems unwilling to give users more control. If this trend continues, we could find ourselves in a situation reminiscent of George Orwell's novel '1984,' where the speaker dictates what we should and shouldn't do. We have recently witnessed an incident with Amazon's speaker system and delivery company disabling their hardware because they falsely accused someone of being racist. It is crucial that we take back control."
They verbally explained the link in the video. They might go back in edit it out, i haven't checked. This was something like: ltt store/ + MSI + AMD + 6800
and I say this as a man so excited to get Soli on my Pixel 4XL. I cannot actually think of anything so anticlimactic Oh actually, I can. The switch to their FaceID and the removal of the fingerprint sensor. Was awesome to suddenly start having to enter my pin onto half my apps I used to be able to tap to authenticate on my older phone. Still - app makers were going to have to comply with the new API on their next update... nope. And then they dropped it all for the next Pixel - so literally none of them cared. Only bright point was the reported 'reorganizing' of the Pixel Team - sorry you lost your jobs, but I'm still owed a grand.
@@goldcd I hear you. Was very excited to get my new Pixel 4 early in 2020, but suddenly realize face unlock isn't that great in the mids of a mask pandemic :/ Switched to Pixel 5 with a "so-called outdated" fingerprint sensor and I couldn't be happier!
Finally! I was worried that Google only tracks my every waking moment, what about all those non-waking moments! How else am I going to get better targeted ads?!
From what I hear, it was for 6800XT, which I didn't care about, but I don't wanna miss any future 3080 drops - I watched the whole video and didn't see anything on V.A.G. program - did they retroactively edit the video or something? Can that be done on RUclips?
@@PeterDB90 I didn't see it either. I was kinda confused for a bit when I read the comments lol I know RUclips was working on a way to straight up cut out sections of videos AFTER uploading. So I guess they used that. Also, I'm pretty sure Linus said on the WAN show that Nvidia won't be working with them for the V.A.G. Program, so I wouldn't get my hopes up about getting any 30XX cards from LTT unfortunately :(
@@XHackManiacX researching online it seems there was a voiceover on some generic b-roll (I guess to weed out people who would scrub the video to where they see Linus in a very obvious change of scenery). That sucks about nVidia - was there a particular reason? I’ll try to track down the video and watch it, I’m curious. Either way - this was supposed to be a niche little way but now has gotten as bloated as Newegg Shuffle - you have to get lucky. I’ll keep trying other avenues. On the bright side, I can now watch LTT and Tech Quickie videos for entertainment instead of frantically searching for VAG program in them 😅
@@PeterDB90 On the last WAN show: "Apple HULK SMASHES the Competition - WAN Show April 23, 2021" at about 1:07:00 Linus: "I did ask Nvidia to join the VAG Program. They politely declined."
you're so right about the Soli chip these gestures they showed off in 2015 have so much potential, but they still haven't managed to implement it in an actually useful manner
It's a real shame. I can see air gestures revolutionizing the whole smartphone experience but perhaps they need to delay those products to make more money along the way? Technology can't progress too quickly in the end, they need to maximize the profit in the first place.
This gamer gauntlet is basically impossible ! This is beyond making sure it's real people and real gamers. It's all FPS questions, people who play other types of games are gamers too!

Thread sounds a lot like the ZigBee we know and love right now, just without a cheap dongle too act as the controller. Oh, and you have to rebuy every device that you currently own for a smart home to get a minimal improvement. Home Assistant plus a cheap ZigBee dongle already has fraction-of-a-second response times and creates a mesh that can expend up to 64,000 devices in a line with hundreds of feet between the devices, meaning you could chain a bunch of lightbulbs together to stretch across the US with some super long extension cords.

The google nest hub, is and could be a good tool. Although amazon alexa is one of the more most known devices out there, this new nest hub by google could be a hit. But some things aren’t as good with it. Meaning it doesn’t have a variety of things as the amazon echo has.
I own the new Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen). My only complaint is when I say Okay Google after not using the device for a while it somehow lag's the sound chime (enabled in accessibility) when it's ready to listen to your question.

Maybe it's because soli isn't *for us*, meaning the end user. Soli exists to gather data about the inside of buildings and their layout. Google uses the radar to map stuff. Hand gestures were the only thing they could come up with to explain it to us in an acceptable way.
Maybe it's set to private? Edit: If they intend to publish it later, they were actually supposed to use "unlisted" instead of private, cause private ones can still be viewed through a link (like the Playlist)

That was the most stressful 15 minutes of my life. Trying not to get fired from work and getting though the gauntlet at the same time ! Lol
did you get one?
Damn I was too late! I hope you guys enjoy your new hardware :)
Yeah that was quick
lets just hope it REALLY goes into the hands of gamers
@@YasinCengiz0038 what was the model number he was talking about??
@@supernatural2968 6800
@@musicinsideyourmind Oh. Never mind, then.
I love how the video was intercepted and with B roll of the product so people cant skip through and look for Linus. Very clever. Go get that VAG guys.
Group 1: "I think Google is getting a bit intrusive into my life"
Group 2: "I wish google could watch over me as I sleep"
and I say this as a man so excited to get Soli on my Pixel 4XL.
I cannot actually think of anything so anticlimactic
Oh actually, I can. The switch to their FaceID and the removal of the fingerprint sensor.
Was awesome to suddenly start having to enter my pin onto half my apps I used to be able to tap to authenticate on my older phone.
Still - app makers were going to have to comply with the new API on their next update... nope.
And then they dropped it all for the next Pixel - so literally none of them cared.
Only bright point was the reported 'reorganizing' of the Pixel Team - sorry you lost your jobs, but I'm still owed a grand.
@@goldcd I hear you. Was very excited to get my new Pixel 4 early in 2020, but suddenly realize face unlock isn't that great in the mids of a mask pandemic :/ Switched to Pixel 5 with a "so-called outdated" fingerprint sensor and I couldn't be happier!
Finally! I was worried that Google only tracks my every waking moment, what about all those non-waking moments! How else am I going to get better targeted ads?!
Now THIS is Riley. Not the one just in TechLinked. That one's clearly a deepfake
Wow this Riley guy is pretty good, he should host a tech news channel!
You know he hosts techlink
I am waiting for someone to get whooshed
3:31 this is the most I have regretted in my life for not opening the notification for this video earlier and missing verified actual gamer
From what I hear, it was for 6800XT, which I didn't care about, but I don't wanna miss any future 3080 drops - I watched the whole video and didn't see anything on V.A.G. program - did they retroactively edit the video or something? Can that be done on RUclips?
@@PeterDB90 I didn't see it either. I was kinda confused for a bit when I read the comments lol
I know RUclips was working on a way to straight up cut out sections of videos AFTER uploading. So I guess they used that.
Also, I'm pretty sure Linus said on the WAN show that Nvidia won't be working with them for the V.A.G. Program, so I wouldn't get my hopes up about getting any 30XX cards from LTT unfortunately :(
@@XHackManiacX researching online it seems there was a voiceover on some generic b-roll (I guess to weed out people who would scrub the video to where they see Linus in a very obvious change of scenery).
That sucks about nVidia - was there a particular reason? I’ll try to track down the video and watch it, I’m curious.
Either way - this was supposed to be a niche little way but now has gotten as bloated as Newegg Shuffle - you have to get lucky. I’ll keep trying other avenues. On the bright side, I can now watch LTT and Tech Quickie videos for entertainment instead of frantically searching for VAG program in them 😅
@@PeterDB90 On the last WAN show:
"Apple HULK SMASHES the Competition - WAN Show April 23, 2021"
at about 1:07:00
Linus: "I did ask Nvidia to join the VAG Program. They politely declined."
@@XHackManiacX even if nVidia did not join, manufacturers themselves can... i wouldn't rull out 3000 series rtx just yet ;)
you're so right about the Soli chip
these gestures they showed off in 2015 have so much potential, but they still haven't managed to implement it in an actually useful manner
It's a real shame. I can see air gestures revolutionizing the whole smartphone experience but perhaps they need to delay those products to make more money along the way? Technology can't progress too quickly in the end, they need to maximize the profit in the first place.
Riley's hair wave starts reaching epic proportions - soon the can film the final scene of Point Break Redux on his forehead :)
When you grew up in an era when "smart" devices didn't exist. The whole idea of a "smart" home is terrifying.
When you're in the industry and used to this shit, it's still terrifying.
Yep. I despise the idea of voluntarily installing tracking devices inside my house.
imagine if orwell could see us now
Forreal, I saw smart house on disney channel lol
I like tech but it scares me to think your smart devices could get hacked and your family is being watched and/or tracked.
"Again, no" that intro killed me 🤣
Irony:
One of the reasons I lose sleep in the first place is because of knowing how insanely invasive all this stuff has become.
Looks like the only honest and comprehensive review on youtube
That quiz was crazy hard, guess you gotta be a variety gamer to one shot it
Yeah I gave up haha, probably shouldn't be spending a grand right now, I'll just keep using my baby little 1650 super haha
I don't play anything on that quiz haha. I got through it too late at number 2200 in line haha. Not a chance.
Same, I don't play any of those games. I guess, cities skylines and flight sim are not gaming enough.
What does model number mean?
I spent 10 min getting through it 😭. They all gone.
Who needs sleep tracking, when I always sleep about 3 hours a day xD
thats a lot
W BWFGB
@@amaramri9299 He must be a healthy little boy.
Lol, clicked it within 45 seconds of it being live. Learns its been seen by others an hour ago. Glad there wasnt a GPU drop lol...... Oh wait.....
"Glad there wasnt a GPU drop lol..." yup, 100% correct.
6:15 you are a great actor Riley, good job!
i am so happy you guys fixed the aspect ratio of your videos to make them normal.
I love how you hid that verified gamer program under b roll footage, so that people scrolling through wouldn't find out.
all the cards are already gone, i’m 190 in the queue what do you think my chances are
@@zashbot he has 300 total. 50 gone during the WAN show... so you're one of 250.
Whats the Asus spelling? I dont know :((
@@EvandroEstima doesn't matter, it's sold out.
@@dnxtbillgates what about the quiz?
Seems like a useless 'refresh'. Sounds like they just wanted a reason to justify always on microphones and motion sensors/cameras which track you.
F
I feel like these gaming questions have gotten a lot harder / not as mainstream but I am glad the program is still going strong.
i like that there is a button for people that took the quiz just for fun
I've never made it in time to take the quiz. I'll never make it in time if 1 hour is too slow, I don't stalk youtube.
It's not about you need it or want it. It'll be MANDATORY to have this active at all times.
Sweet dreams are made of these.
I traveled the world and the seven seas.
I am watching you through a camera!
video: 10 minutes long
people 2 minutes after : "wow nice video google trash "
It will be trash until Apple tells us why stalking us more is good for us.
This seems more like a ShortCircuit video.
Ikr
Agreed
Ikr
I thought it was from the thumbnail lol
Yea
5:30 No Riley, that's not just you 🙈
Keep being you Riley. Always put a smile on my face.
Didn't realise I was on LTT channel until the intro but I do love Riley 😂

This gamer gauntlet is basically impossible ! This is beyond making sure it's real people and real gamers. It's all FPS questions, people who play other types of games are gamers too!
Ahh, good to know if I had been able to comprehend the URL that I wouldn't have succeeded at the questions either, lol.
@@LadyRenira literally same. i don’t understand what to put in the url “the numbers” and then tuf?
i didnt bother trying. I mean i do game. but i dont play all the games out there.
Yes, numbers and the word. And no, not only questions about FPS. Other games and hardware too.
@@dreywayy how hard is it to find the numbers in 6800xt and then put tuf next to it cmon ?!. if you don't even know the card model number (After he says it mind you), why are you even interested in buying one ? smells of mining or scalping.. hmmm
Ah, I can look back at my distorted sleep schedule finally
cant afford the card but still passed the quiz, getting ready for cheaper drops! good luck everyone
Is it still up? I fail typing the link
@@victorturban1659 Cards are already gone
Hm okay thanks!
What was the URL?
Thread sounds a lot like the ZigBee we know and love right now, just without a cheap dongle too act as the controller. Oh, and you have to rebuy every device that you currently own for a smart home to get a minimal improvement. Home Assistant plus a cheap ZigBee dongle already has fraction-of-a-second response times and creates a mesh that can expend up to 64,000 devices in a line with hundreds of feet between the devices, meaning you could chain a bunch of lightbulbs together to stretch across the US with some super long extension cords.

Lol imagine google uses this to optimes the best time to serve you ads
Google corsiri voice notices you haven't been sleeping, shows pillow/comforter ads
Good luck for all the actual gamers looking to get verified! I’m a bit late so your fate must have already been sealed...
I watched the video the moment i got the notification, and there was no VAG in the video then. It must have been a minute or two after the video was live they inserted the VAG announcement?
@@dtemp132 I clicked on the video right when I got the notification and it was in there, it said the video was uploaded 10 seconds ago when I clicked on it
Maybe I'm getting stupid of something,but this I couldn't figure out the clue😫😫😫
I'm soooo happyyyyy😇
I'm 3 hours late, was busy. Dangit.
I like how we hid the drop in the middle of the most useless product ever, lmao. Good luck to all gamers!
-Friendly Mac user 🥰
Didn’t even watch the video when it first dropped cause I don’t care about google nest hub lol. maybe next time
They are all gone already
Completed quizz successfully but did not get it in time :(
Shouldn't have read the comments, now I wished I'd watched it earlier
Riley killed it in this video. Nicely done.
I've noticed that a couple of videos have this cinematic, greyish tone to them
It's nice
The video just got unlisted while i'm watching.😆😆
Wait did it really?
@@venykrid no
@@venykridHe's a liar obviously.

You have to be a verified gamer without a job apparently.
1 hour ago? I just got notified for this!

interesting comment
It was likely pushed a hour ago and then was reuploaded since there would of been a VAG Drop
Every day we get closer to the ads served directly to your dreaming brain like in futurama
Google: simple tracking
LTT: that's that.
Google: tracking you 24/7

Wow, sleep tracking. I totally wanted this instead of the ability to manually set a damn recurring alarm or put my smart home routine on the home screen. Totally what I was hoping for. I am more and more convinced that the developers at google don't use google stuff.
Gamer Gauntlet question are HARD lol, I wish they'd add more PC building questions or like older or more basic game questions, or old hardware questions even
Agreed. The questions were definitely not up my alley and I would consider myself a gamer. Oh well back to the newegg shuffles.
@@meangreentitan what where the questions?
yah I really wasn't sure what numbers he was asking for and tried a few different options and none of them worked
@@enderturtle5533 mostly games that I had either never heard of or do not play. I don't remember most of them. Out of 15 questions I had to look up about 11 or 12 of them.

When you miss a drop, but it’s only an AMD card.
Whoa Riley that was a really minimalist look at this minimalist thing.
The way they actually put the graphics card part into the video is very smart
the only thing more minimalist than this guys lifestyle is his personality :sunglasses:
"Let me tell you why you should install spyware in your home!"
The google nest hub, is and could be a good tool. Although amazon alexa is one of the more most known devices out there, this new nest hub by google could be a hit. But some things aren’t as good with it. Meaning it doesn’t have a variety of things as the amazon echo has.
The air gestures seem so niche like why not just move your finger 5in closer and tap the screen
"Why are you so laggy?"
That is most appropriate question for this thing!
I track my sleep by looking at a clock before and after I sleep. Crazy I know.
men I ahead of time
Sure, cos I really want an always-on internet connected surveillance device in my home.
You know what I actually paid attention to that ad. I bet I could memorize it if I listen back to it once more.
Can it tell what we're thinking?
I own the new Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen). My only complaint is when I say Okay Google after not using the device for a while it somehow lag's the sound chime (enabled in accessibility) when it's ready to listen to your question.
I'm going to give Google Support a call/chat about it when I get the chance to.
Fun Fact: I just received my new LTT Store Computer Mat in the mail. I'm about to unbox it now. 💪🏻😎💪🏻
Riley's content has been my favorite lately.
I don't want something to track my sleep, if it did it would probably call an emergency number automatically.
Holy shit those quizes are imposible xD I got no clue at all GL to everybody else that actually intends to buy the card, I just wanted to see the quiz :3
How do you find the url which numbers does he refer to?XD
I think I took the quiz 3 or 4 times because I don't know everything about all games/tech. Still was able to snag a card though!
@@KennethJ206 nice
Now let's just hope burglars will never find out how to hack those things so they can break into your house at night when you're at your deepest sleep cycle
"It's unhackable!"
@@CakePrincessCelestia Ha, ha, good one :)
Maybe it's because soli isn't *for us*, meaning the end user. Soli exists to gather data about the inside of buildings and their layout. Google uses the radar to map stuff. Hand gestures were the only thing they could come up with to explain it to us in an acceptable way.
Google tracking my sleep? AWESOME! ...said no one ever.
3:08 hmmmm i think someone swapped audio tracks
Exactly. I played it 5 times to figure out if another video started in the background.
No, it was on purpose.
Why has nobody seen this?
Maybe it's set to private?
Edit: If they intend to publish it later, they were actually supposed to use "unlisted" instead of private, cause private ones can still be viewed through a link (like the Playlist)
@@anujmations6755 I think it’s unlisted

These “smart” things are literally selling your life away for advertising…
that's why I'm not really interested in any of these products. I value my privacy

My Nest Hub is in the bedroom. So, yeah, the glass set on top of the frame definitely will help out resisting "gunk" on some of the wilder nights.
