Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome back to taking FNAF quizzes. It's been a bit, a bit longer than I initially wanted but we are back and that's good. Something that is also back but is less good is short hair. Now you guys really seem to enjoy the last episode and I had a lot of fun making it. I also looked a lot better. The first quiz is made by someone we, you may know, we've played a few of his games on the channel before. It's the one and only Frebby. He was very generous enough to actually make a quiz specifically for the next video. So let's have a look. It better be good.  So let's see how well you do and how well I do. Not gonna lie. This looks really good. Just the page itself. It looks so good. Anyways, FNAF quiz number one by the Frebby. Test your knowledge on the popular horror franchise Five Nights at Freddy's and this 35 question. Quiz made by a fan game developer, Frebby. The disclaimer, this quiz was made in early mid 2020 and some questions may have different answers in the future. It was made pretty recently so everything should be up to date. First question and I'm kind of scared because it has like two points, two points for the questions. It really reminds me of a math test and that scares me. Question numero uno. Who is the CEO in 2020 of Alumix, the creators of FNAF AR? Is it Nicholas Kent? I don't even know who Nicholas Kent is. This guy? Is it Mark Fishbison? Is it Markiplier? Scott? Oh, Kieran. It's Kieran. Everyone knows that. Who voiced Nightmare Yon in UCN slash Help Wanted? It wasn't Scott. It wasn't Zach. Zach is... He's one of the Nightmares, I think. Nightmare Freddy? Maybe? Well, Nightmare Fred Bayer. I can't remember which one. Nightmare Yon doesn't have a voice. They do. All right. Yep. It was Alex. Oh God. I got to enter my answers. It's just like a math test. Who is the protagonist of the story Lonely Freddy? It's Alex, right? It's, it's out. Jesus. Uh, Alex. Who is the name of the protagonist and count the ways? Okay. So just talking about protags. So count the ways that was with, that was with Millie. Millie. Yes. Because they were like, oh, it's Silly Millie. Yeah. I remember that. What is the name of the theme that plays during the Help Wanted?  It is, I think it's this one. I believe it. I believe it's that one. When was Five Nets 3 released? It was released on March 2nd. Pretty easy. How do you summon Shadowbonding from F.A.R.? You speak Shadowbonding to a microphone. That'd be so cool. It's like Bloody Mary. You just go Shadowbondy, Shadowbondy, Shadowbondy. And he appears. That would be awesome. Pay-thru micro transactions. That's it. Clouds, shadowy remnant? Yep, you do that. What does SCUP stand for? What? Oh, is this a blueprint thing? Oh, F. I'm guessing this is a blueprint thing. It's not going to be scary. It's got to be one of these two. Because if math tests have taught me anything, it's the two answers that look alike. Or one of those is the right answer. I'm pretty sure. Undying. So it's one of these two. It's got to be. It's got to be undying, right? It's got to be. Right. Oh, Jesus. I don't remember the blueprints. What time does Nightmare Fredbear appear on Night 6? It's got to be four. I'm going to say four. Because I believe there is a seventh night that doesn't count as custom night, and Nightmare is on it. I think. I can't remember. Because I know Nightmare appears at some point. It's got to be four, right? It wouldn't be two. No. No. That wouldn't make sense. Because having three separate groups of characters appear, having the main cast, and then it's switched to Nightmare Fredbear, and then have it switch to Nightmare, that would be too care like for a night. Scott wouldn't do that. It must be four. It has to be. How does William die in the fourth closet? Springlock suit. Ooh, ooh, wait a second. Charlie killed him or Springlock suit? Technically, it's both. Frebby? Technically, it's both. Charlie kills him by activating the Springlock suit that he's in. I'm guessing he wants me to put Charlie killed him. I'm guessing. Which characters in FNAF World have the attack fourth wall mark all of that apply?  And AnimDude has it. I know for a fact. Spring Bonnie does not. Shadow Bonnie does not. Coffee. Nightmare on does. Coffee, I don't think they do. I don't think coffee. I know AnimDude does. I know Nightmare on does because I remember seeing them like spin around with their tentacly arms and having fourth wall shoot out. I don't think coffee has it. I don't think. How much does the... Oh God. How much does the plus trap Chaser cost in Out of Stark story? I haven't read Out of Stark. Ah, I don't know. I don't know. I did not read Out of Stark just yet. Guys, I'm so behind on the books. I've not read Vetch. I've not read 135. I'm so far behind. And the fourth book comes out so soon. I'm scared. How much money do you earn after completing Night 6 of Five Nights 2? I don't know. It wouldn't be a solid number like 20. It would... It's got to be 2550 or 3050. I want to say 3050. That sounds like a reasonable amount. And that sound that for some reason that sounds right in my head. Now I'm a superstar. Who whose voice line is this? That's Toy Bonnie. Of course. Shhh. We must be very quiet. Dude, Fleggy. I was the person that did all FNAF AR sounds. If you're trying to test me on FNAF AR voice lines, you better do a better job. That's Mangle. I am your wickedness made of flesh. That is... Wait. I said I did FNAF AR. I did not do UCN. It's not scrap chat. It's not my body. It's Nightmare. No. Am I Fredbear? Wait a second. That... Something about that does not seem right. It's not Nightmare. I'm pretty sure it's a Nightmare, actually. Am I allowed to goof? I'm pretty sure. I'm gonna stick with Nightmare Fredmare, but I'm pretty sure it's a Nightmare, actually. Yeah, it's right there. Right there. Nightmare. I am your wickedness made of flesh. Fredby, you're done goof, bro. Might have just been a mistake. Let's see how many pieces I can cut you into. That is... I know that's one of the babies, so it's gotta be scrap baby, then. What is the fifth rule on the... You know what's funny? You know what's funny? I was actually just watching Darko's interview. I mean, not the interview, my bad. Darko's... How much FNAF does Darko know on his charity stream? From, I think it was January with... with Kane. And one of the questions was how many rules are on the poster? And it was eight. Now, I don't remember. It's not don't hit. It's not leave before dark. Don't poop. It might be... It's either stay close to mom or don't poop on the floor. I'm pretty sure to stay close to mom. How did William Afton come back in the fourth closet? Oh.  It honestly, guys, it's been a while since I've read fourth closet. It's been a while. I haven't picked the book back up since I... finished it. He was surgically removed from the Springlock suit. He was a ghost. He came back as Springtrap or none of the above. The fourth closet. How does he come back? Or does he come back? He must because he always comes back. Oh! He was surgically removed. I remember that. I remember that. Right? He was. He was. Because I remember this. I remember the scene with... with baby. I remember the scene with baby and they're like cutting him open. God, I remember that. How much does L chip normally cost? In pizza salmon. It's not $5. That's the... that's lefty. It's not $2,500. I'm pretty sure $72,000 is Funtime Chica. So I'm gonna go with $32,000. How many cameras in total? There's 15 cameras. I already know that. I already know that. Because of videos.  Yeah, I... There's 15 cameras. I don't even have to check. What is the name of the third zone in FNAF World? If you're talking about zone three, it's dusting fields. Again, I literally just did an entire playthrough through FNAF World. Where does FNAF World Special deliver officially released? Oh, use Son of a Gun. Because we got it early. We got an early copy of the game. It was late November. It was late November. Let's see. It really wasn't too early that we got a copy because Illumix sent us it and they were like, hey, you know, record videos but don't upload them until the next day. So we got it one day early but we couldn't actually post videos until the next day. But what that day was, I don't... I don't know. It's November 25th or November 22nd. It's one of those two. I'm gonna go with 25th. I don't... I don't know. Who voice? Cheese Magic Rainbow? I know this one. It's Debbie. I know that one. I know that one. Same voice actress of Jimmy Neutron. That's right, guys. Boy Genius himself. What does Jimmy do with the paper guillotine? He cuts off his face. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. Who hosts the web show called the FNAF show? This is the FNAF show. God, I would love to be in the interview. I'd love to be in the FNAF show. Lewis, hey, keep in touch, keep in touch, hey. I wouldn't have any interesting things to talk about though. How do you get the fan trophy? You get all the characters. I know that. I take all characters. Yep, again, just played the FNAF one. True or false? Yendo has a mystery mini. I believe he does. No, wait a second. Yeah, he does. Yes, he does. True or false? Write big, big tags from only the right vent in 45,000 beats. That wouldn't make sense, actually, because the jumpscare shows who are coming from the... Actually, no. It shows they're coming from the left. So that is false. That is a big false arena. Where the chica comes from the right vent in five minutes, too. That is true. Yep, that is true. That was 100% true. In FNAF 2, the puppet can appear on the hallway. Yes, they can. Yendo can jumpscare the player in Custom Night. He can. He can. Yes, he can. Yeah, so that's false. What order are the bullies? God, I'm trying to picture the minigame. I'm pretty sure it's Bonnie Foxy for the chica. I know chica's on the far right. Or is it... Wait, no. It's this one. I'm pretty sure. No place to run. Finish this teaser sentence. In exactly one place to hide. Yes, yes, yes. That is the FNAF 2 teaser that shows Foxy down the corridor. So this is the final question right here. What is the secret code needed to access stage 01? 395248. Yep, right there. How would you rate this quiz? Honestly, it was really good. Had a bit of mistakes there. Had a bit of mistakes, but really good otherwise. All right, what is my score? I'm scared. Thank you for completing. Okay. Yep. 61 out of 78. What's that? All right. So let's see what I got wrong. Oh, Alex. It's not Alex. It's Alec. Damn. People are going to beat me up for that. What does this stand for? Yeah, I had a feeling I was going to get that wrong. What about this one? He's burned alive.  I did not look for that. Oh, oh yeah. I don't know. Correct answers. Why are there so many correct answers? Oh, okay. Gotcha. How much money do you earn? Yeah, I wasn't confident in that one. I'm your witness made a flush. Nightmare Yon does not state that line. So we can take two points off of that total amount. Oh, and oh, I got the order wrong. Damn it. Okay. So let's see. Looking at the total score. So taking two points off because of that wrong question. Let's see what my score was. That's at 80. That's 80%. That is a really good, but I mean, it's not the best grade, but pretty good. All right. I've got another one pulled up here. It's called how well do you know FNAF hard? Who caused the bite of 83? Fredbear himself, the bite of 87. We don't, we don't know. Personally, I believe it's mangle. What are the names of the five missing kids? Right? Not even looking. You got Gabriel. You got, uh, uh, Fritz. You got Jeremy. You got Susie. You got Cassidy or Kelsey, whichever one you want to think of now and then off on the side, you got Charlie or Charlotte. That was F and Chris. Who the F is Chris? Why do people wonder who was Chris? It's this one. It's this. It's that one. According to the voice lines in UCN, which with an animatic was killed? That's with a chica, of course. Which restaurant was built? Boast. Fredbear's. Uh, who possesses the puppet? That would be Charlie.  Who is Chris? Who so was not given life by the puppet? Well, Q, well, hey, wait. This is, I guess, Michael. Sure. What suit was William Apton killed in? He was killed in Spring Barney. Which animatronic is referred to as the one? Well, it's not an animatronic. It's not, it's not an animatronic. It was the kid, Golden Freddy. Who said this line? You will not be spared. You will not be saved. God. Oh, wait, Nightmare. It was both like, God, why do people keep getting Nightmare's lines mixed up? But no. Also, Springtrap does say that. For some reason. He says a lot of Nightmare's lines, which is still really weird to me. I made a whole video about it and I still don't get why they did it. What animatronic gave Scott Nightmare to Barney? Everyone knows that. And the X-ray blueprints.  Funtime Freddy. But I'm pretty sure Baby does, too. But we'll go with Funtime Freddy. This is how it feels. And you get to experience it over and over and over again. Forever. I will never let you leave. That's Nightmare. That's Nightmare. Which one of these FNAF 6 band names is incorrect? Rockstar's rolling. Rockstar's rolling. Jesus Christ. That is a terrible name. True or false? Jeremy Fitzgerald was the victim of the bite of 83. That is false. That is real false. William killed his business partner's daughter. Why are you going off the books or the games? Yeah, I'll go with true because that is true. This statement is correct. I will not be held responsible if someone dies. Upon discovering... Oh wait. What? Upon discovery that death has occurred a missing port... A missing? Well, this is weird. A report will be filed within a few weeks. No, that's not... That's not... No. That's false. That wasn't right. There were 11 ban on chunks and you say none, including Astricks.  Okay, Freddie. With a new... Jesus, I nearly messed up right off the bat. You got Freddie. You got Toy Freddie. You got Phantom Freddie. Nightmare Freddie. You got Rockstar Freddie. You got Ned Baer. You have Fred Baer. You got Nightmare Fred Baer. Nightmare. You got Helpy. You got a friend and me. That's 10. So I'm probably missing one. Molten Freddie. Here we go. Yep, that's true. Jesus. I sprung to life. With it, Freddie's not in UCN. That is true. I nearly messed it up there. True or false. If you trip the springlock, scream for help. No. No. You go to a secluded place. Yep, that's true. Before this comes to an end, I would like to remind you. Some of these are based off of Mad Pats confirmed. Well, I... Has Scott ever confirmed some of Mad's theories? I know he's agreed with him at some points, and he said that he's done a good job, but has he ever confirmed them? I don't know. Although I think they're canon, please don't start argument speak. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so end or end. I don't... I always hate when people do this. Like...  All right, what's up? What'd I get? I know a lot. I got 90%. Nice. You know a lot of Mad theories.  Funny you say that. Darko, get me on the FNAF show. Oh, I can check out the answers. What'd I get wrong? What? What? I'm sorry? Fredbear's Family Dino is correct. What child does not give me life? Yeah, I didn't... I didn't fully get that one. Okay, so this one is titled How Well Do You Know Five Nights at Freddy's? When did the first FNAF game release? It was released on...  Oh, you're going with the actual release date.  I know it. Also, because it's the only one with a year of 2014. In FNAF 1, when entering the Custom Night mode for the characters, if 1987 is typed, what happens? Well, depending on when this released, there were two options. One, the game plays as normal with the character set at get this 1987 difficulty.  I'm guessing it's going with this one. Yeah, I'm guessing it's going with that one. Oh, FNAF 3 has one character that is missing from the Phantoms. Who is it? It is Phantom Bonnie because there's an audio rabbit character. Which Night in FNAF 4 does Nightmare appear in? It's got to be Night 7. Was it Night 8? Oh, F, F, F, F, F. Actually, no, it's got to be Night 7. Because based off of the last quiz, and by last quiz I mean the one before that quiz, Freddy's won. It must be Night 7. Right? Nice. How many coins can you find in FNAF Hope Wanted? You can find 30. Well, according to Darko, you can find 31, but that's just because I believe it's game glitched or something.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Bonnie. Whose mask does it replace? If you're talking about a lullaby, yep, lullaby. Great. When you run out of power, what's the name of the song? That is the Tour de la March. Everyone knows that. What game design software? Click Team Fusion 2.5. Before FNAF was even a thought. Scott created a game that was criticized. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know it's Chip and Sons. In FNAF 2, there were two characters that can still attack you while wearing the mask. That is... Oh wait. While wearing the Freddy mask? Bloomberg Mangle? No. Shadow Bonnie and... Are you going with these? Oh no, it's these ones. Jesus. I didn't see that option. Who made the FNAF 4 song Bring Us Home? I don't... ...brick a note. Does it say it? No. I don't know. Brick a song. I don't think I've heard that one? We'll go with Tryhard Ninja. Yeah, sure. Who made the FNAF 6 location song I Can't Fix You? That one I do know. Living Tombstone. In Ultra Custom Night, most of the characters have voices. Who is the voice actor for Rockstar Chica? It's Ali. I know that. The secret ending to FNAF 6 shows six headstones on a grassy field. Two of them, however, have their names hidden. One behind grass and the other in the background on a mound or hill. That's the real question. Is that a mound? Or is that a hill? With the four remaining, what are the names? Yeah, no. Gabriel, Fred, Susie, and Jeremy. Throughout the entire gameplay of Sister Location, there was a voice that repeatedly says four are the same numbers. As to this day, it is unknown of what the numbers mean. But with a bit of editing to make it higher pitched, since the voice itself has a bit deep tone, it was very... What? What? I don't freaking know. I don't even know about this. What are the four numbers that she repeats? What? I know Baby says numbers during the night five keypad section. I didn't know that she spoke random numbers. What? I don't know. I hit one. I don't know what hit. Which camera in FNAF 1 is CAM 1C? That is Pirate Cove. What camera shows the glowing cheek ahead on the floor? Dude, I...  So, the... The early cameras start near you, and then they get... The numbers get larger as you get further to the exit.  So, it's a bit weird that camera 10, I believe, starts at the entrance and then CAM 1 is at the exit. That's a little strange. But seeing as this is in the middle of the building, I'm gonna go with CAM 6. It makes sense. In FNAF 3, I do access the Fred Van Spring Bonnie minigame. We know this. Clicking the wall tiles. Yep, in the right order, 395, 248. We all know that. When beating night 5 in FNAF 2, how much money are you given? I believe it's... Wait, I'm gonna do my math again. Ooh, that makes sense. Yep, it's gotta be 105, because it came out with about $3.35, which, you know, taking into the consideration that FNAF 2 takes place in 87, and if FNAF 1 takes place in 91, it would make sense that the price would be slightly lower. So, here we go. Oh, is that it? I scored a 90%. Again. Can I see what I got wrong? Yes, I can. Let's have a look. Wait, I got that one, right? Hell, yeah, dude. Try not to injure for the win. Oh, I got this one wrong. Yeah, I figured. How did I get that one wrong? What CAM is that? It might be CAM 8. Yeah, it is CAM 8. Oh, damn it. Next episode. Okay, so that is going to be it for episode 2 of taking just the best FNAF quizzes the internet has to offer. Right now, it's actually 12 AM, so I'm recording this really late, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do. Anyways, I'm tired a little bit, so I'm blaming all my incorrect answers on that. Thanks for watching. I'll see you on the flip side. Goodbye. Smash like for part 3, by the way. We'll find out which chica I am. Not looking forward to that.


Hello and how are you all today? My name is Priyanka and I shall be helping you with the following question. It says identify the quantifier in the following statement and write the negation of the statements. Now here we are given three statements in this question. The first statement says there is exist a number which is equal to its square. For every real number x, x is less than x plus 1 and then there exist a capital for every state in India. Before proceeding on we should be well versed with the term or the concept of quantifier. Quantifiers are phrases like there exist or sorry for all in the statement. Now as we know what a negation of statement is for example New Delhi is a city. So the negation of the statement is it is not the case that New Delhi is a city. That is that can be also written as it is false that New Delhi is a city or simply we can express it as New Delhi is not a city. So while forming the negation of a statement phrases like it is not the case, it is false, no, etc are used. So these are the few key concepts let us proceed on with our solution. Now here the first statement given to us is it is there exist a number which is equal to its square. Now in this statement the quantifier is there exist and the negation of the statement is there does not exist a number which is equal to its square. Right so here we have used does not change the given statements into the negation right into its negation. So this completes the first part statement says for every one. So here the quantifier of the statement is there exist a real number such that X is not this one. So to write down the denial of this statement we have used not in the statement and rearranged it to form its negation. Right so this completes the second part. Third statement says there exist capital for every state in India now its quantifier is there exist which does not right. So this is a denial of the above given statement that forms a negation of the statement. This ends my session hope you understood the question well firstly you need to identify the quantifier and then write down the negation of the statement given to us hope you can solve more have a nice day. Thank you.


Hey everybody, have you heard the news? We are going to make your lives better today one hopes by talking about some tech We're gonna move we got good stuff. We're gonna move through this.

Well, I think the I think While they have bits of their market that overlap I don't think they're targeting the exact same income brackets or am I wrong with Amazon? No, no, I think you're right But Amazon did make a big deal about slashing prices and it was very much a lot of people took it as a veiled like Hey, we can have high quality and low prices unlike some people You know, it was taken it was taken as as directed at Walmart and Walmart and hold an Amazon are definitely in competition So I get why fortune would write this headline of like hey, those of you out there who are saying Amazon's taking on Walmart Keep in mind they'd have to cut prices a lot more if they want to compete with Walmart on price And I think that's a responsible headline They would also need to expand their product line and at whole.

Hey, I'm here. I'm ready. I'm excited. Let's do this Maybe we'll leave an IPO in the next couple years. Sure. Well, I'm sure that potential investors want to hear that The the company it's actually kind of weird to me that they've gone as long as they have without going public I know there have been reasons and and arguments as to why they haven't or why they shouldn't or should or whatever But this seems like a nice fresh approach to your future.  So you can ask one to open the other They created a skill on each other's platform Amazon voice service users can tell Cortana Hey access office products like my calendar my email my outlook and Cortana users can ask her to Control home devices or do some shopping through Amazon and when I say her I mean Al Exa you could say to Cortana open Exa and Tell her to turn on the living room lights or something like that New York Times says the partnership was formed back in May Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Microsoft Sachin and Della both said they would welcome cooperation with Apple and Google The updated assistance will be available later this year So if you go try to talk to Cortana through your Amazon Echo today, it won't work yet. Okay, two things one I just say Al Franken instead of the Al My friends have a problem. Secondly, what do you think? I mean, I don't know if we want to talk percentage chance here But what do you think the chances are that Apple in particular would even be interested in this? I think Google probably would they tend to like less than 1% for Apple. It's just not the way they do things I'm curious whether Google would interoperate because sometimes they're very open with platforms like that They are also very competitive with Apple in this space or I'm sorry with Amazon in this space right now So I am I'd call that close to 50-50. Hmm. Yeah, I would that's probably about right I mean, we were talking earlier and I think I still think this way I love the idea that there could be some common ground with these voice assistants that these AI Assistants that we're having integrated into our cars our homes our devices Kind of across our lives could have more interoperability without us having to be brand You know branding ourselves into a corner would be really nice So I you know again holding out very little hope that Apple will make it that open But I used to have that little kind of hope for iPhone features such as letting me do quick replies from the home screen or Being able to tie into their applications from other applications and all that stuff happened Maybe a little slow, but it did so I'm not going to completely lose hope in that But I really like the idea that the things I love about each of these platforms could still in some way work together It reminds me of Amazon's take on the Kindle where they could have said well We're only going to allow you to read ebooks if you buy a Kindle device But instead they put Kindle apps on everything they could get their hands on and it became the dominant ebook seller This is them saying hey, why wouldn't we work with Cortana where? We would have a difficult time getting Microsoft to allow us to access office, but it's already there Let's just access Cortana then we can access everything Cortana has Cortana is trying to get uptake beyond Windows So this allows people to say hey, I can use my Amazon echo to access Cortana. That's great I will access Cortana more often. So I see why they will do it I don't know that Google is going to see the big advantage of Interoperating but man, I wish they would because I do love the idea of not having to necessarily commit to one Universe to be able to get the best of all of them. It's kind of what Bezos said He's like they're all have access to different data sets and are better at different things That's why they want to do this. It is a little weird to have to think about okay Where's my email? Is that with Cortana? Is that with Google or is that with Amazon and whom I talking to right now? It would be nice if you could get rid of those barriers as well But yeah, no no downside to Microsoft as far as I'm concerned. They lag behind certainly with Cortana There's an opportunity here to to push that out. It also fits with their current mode of putting their services and products on many platforms and I think it's it's gonna be really Good for them. So we'll see Apple will probably never do anything Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has sources who provided information and images of a new iPhone that is all screen and has no home button a Thin software bar at the bottom of the screen and gesture controls will replace the home button functions This also appears to be a steel band around the side with small antenna cuts around the corners Aside from those kinds of structural things the big thing here would be potentially Obviously full, you know full screen coverage, but also gesture control. I'm still totally unsure about that No, this would also possibly imply facial recognition for security layers Yeah, there's been a lot of talk about that being in there as well. They could be could be put in touch ID on the back Potentially that's that's another thing that some people have said they expect to happen Some people said there just won't be touch ID on this model at all Again, we are dealing in the world of hey, this guy Mark Gurman sure has really good sources and a good track record So let's take it seriously, but not Apple has announced and I like to draw that line very firmly This is not for sure, but it does seem like it might happen And I'm fine with it I've have you ever had a home button break on an iOS device. I never have I had it happen on my On my iPad one time I think the second iPad I ever had and Somebody said well, you know instead of taking it in and trying to get it fixed It was it was near the time when they were gonna upgrade iPads and I was like I don't know if I want to bother taking it in and and paying to get it fixed because I didn't have Apple care on it When I'm just gonna replace it soon. I like just just turn on gesture controls And so it was an accessibility option, which anybody who uses the accessibility already knew like hey You can use gesture controls. They're great And I just started doing that to close apps and swipe between apps now I've stopped doing it Since touch ID came back to the iPad but for if we're iPad for a long time on my iPad after that I was using gesture controls So it works really well and once you get in the groove of it it You don't even notice that you're not using home But also we're we may see this is one of my problems with the there's not always parity between the phones and the iPads or between tablets and phones that touch ID button on an iPad even the latest iPad is not the Weird not actual clicking completely haptic One that is on the phone currently so you could potentially break the one on an iPad But the one on the phone is this more solid state affair Which I really like but if they're about to go full screen unless they move that thing around at the back We're gonna skip a whole generation of that cool non breakable non moving part Feature being available on other devices outside of well, maybe they may or may not do this on the iPad, right? Yeah, that's a good point So I don't know this feels like a turning a bit of a turning point. We know when what 13 days Maybe Apple also has not announced an announcement So the September 12th date that's kicking around seems reliable, but it's not official so Hang in there Samsung announced the gear sport smart watch which runs ties in that means it works on iOS and Android It's waterproof up to 50 meters so it can do things like record your swimming session has 12 months free access to the under armor apps Which apparently are a great suite of different fitness apps Continuous heart rate monitor the usual fitness features It's 42.9 millimeters by 44.6 and 11.6 millimeters thick has a 1.23 inch circular AMOLED display 4 gigabytes of storage 768 megabytes of RAM Bluetooth 4.2 NFC GPS perometer and a 300 milliamp hour battery Now they did not announce a price so that makes a whole big difference But it will be coming out in the holidays Samsung did announce a price and release date for the fitness tracker Gear Fit 2 Pro That one has a nice looking screen as well and is available in black and red for pre-order Thursday at 199 bucks. I'm gonna bet 349 to 399 complete guess, but Smart a smart watch with those particular specs. I think you'd go any lower than that You might be a little on the high end, but I think that's pretty close Yeah, something something just just just higher than 299 and that's why I'm thinking 349 something like 9 to 5 Google says that they think it will sell for around $250 based on the fit to pros price. Wow, see that seems low Well, I haven't looked at the fit to prospects in a while So maybe they're better than I think but the 90 1.99 only $50 difference is way too low to me But but who knows time will tell so ties in first of all which A couple of different reviewers that are not reviewers I guess but a couple people who wrote this up for the verge and 9 to 5 Google and others said yeah I kind of like the ties an operating system better than Android wear anyway And that that means that it's platform agnostic really Although you can use an Android watch with iOS as well. So that's it's not like it's a differentiating differentiating feature But who knew ties and would still continue to Survive well in a weird way. I kind of hope I don't know I can't hope it does more than survive I'd like the idea of the watch is being less She-horned into their respective OSes. Why does it have to be iOS? Why does it have to be Android? Why can't we come up with something that's perfectly suited for? The watch and and and maybe that does come from some third-party open source. Who knows but yeah Good job ties in if you and if you haven't caught on to the trend yet by listening to DTNS or watching the EFAN news All the watches are focusing on fitness now. That is everybody has recalibrated and said well if we're gonna win the wearable race We have to be fitness oriented. Yeah, I think that that's the smart thing The company makes the essential phone. We talked about this when I was here a week ago Sent an email out to some customers Tuesday night requesting a copy of a driver's license to verify their address Did you get one of these by the way? No, I did not Somehow the email was sent to all customers as a group email through Zendesk That meant that people are when people replied with a picture of the driver's license It went to everybody else in the original email had been sent to Essentials looking into the matter and seems to have shut down the group email list Essential customers were charged for pre-orders last week, but are still awaiting their shipment. That is a rookie move, man Wow Not real encouraged to buy essential right now I like to give new companies the benefit of the doubt, but this is a this is a bad one This is this is not one that you get let off the hook for you. You don't first of all It's questionable why they need driver's license identification, but a lot of times for fraud prevention. This happens It's really bad if you're asking for that sort of thing to not provide a secure way to do it And not only not provide a secure way to do it but in Unintentionally, we assume provide an extraordinarily insecure way to do it Which is your email will now go to everyone and if you don't know the way Zendesk works, you wouldn't know that It's a Zendesk setting that says when you receive an email back to this thread send it to everybody else who got that thread It's not like you're replying to all it just automatically does it There was nothing that the customer could have done about this or would have expected it to do it this way so this is horrible and Essential is being very mum about it because I bet essentially isn't quite sure why it happened and they're trying to track that down But combine that with the fact that you know, I bought one of these phones They've taken my money and they said it would ship within a week and it's about a week now And I haven't heard squat about my phone actually arriving. It's not looking good. No all of those things are bad, but moreover I Don't think I would have done it like if I had gotten this email requesting a picture of my yeah I think I just say uh-uh you don't get that like this. I've been through enough security stuff. I know how You know other companies do this. This is not a thing you need. There's other ways to get it Yeah, that's just seems so strange and then to come completely blow that on the other end of it is really weird So a lot of the original reporting on this said it was a phishing scam because it really looked like a phishing scam That was before the whole reply to all thing got got added to it So you don't want your official stuff to feel like a phishing scam. That's no definitely not especially when you're a new company like that Pacemakers from a company called Abbott have been recalled by the US FDA Because of software vulnerabilities the vulnerabilities would allow an attacker to do things like drain the battery or even change the programmed settings Which include, you know, the beats of your heart the rhythm of your heart rate That's not a good thing. So you want to get that patched right away a firmware update to the patch However, cannot be done over the air.  St. Jude's medical used to make a lot of these. They were bought by Abbott Pacemakers manufactured from August 28th will already contain the security patch So if you just bought one you wouldn't have to worry about it, but anything bought before that you should you should call your doctor So firmware on your pacemaker I mean when I have firmware updates to a device like I've got a charge to from Fitbit here That thing has to shut down there's like a long Yeah, so obviously this is why they're going into doctors, but that's freaky man. Yeah, that's part of it, too It's you know a very small chance that your pacemaker will be bricked in the firmware update, but that's a chance I mean anybody who's ever bricked a device knows any update can go wrong for any reason Which is another reason to come into the doctor and in fact the FDA is saying that the doctor should consult with the patient about Whether this is worth the risk Because some some patients might not survive their pacemaker shutting down in which case then what do you do? Do you just leave your your firmware vulnerable and hope nobody attacks? I mean there's no there's no Evidence that this has ever been done in the wild. It's just a vulnerability that was discovered and they want to patch it up Yeah, I hate everything about this because I what I think it probably means is we've got to get to a place Where the technology allows us to update these kinds of especially bio med things like this in a way That's more intelligent and less rebooty and less I don't know the exact process that these used to update these things But get to a point where you always expect there to be vulnerabilities and come up with the best possible Over-the-air real-time way of updating things without having to shut things down without having to reboot them. It probably means new areas of Smart AI tech who know I don't know what it is, but whatever that is that's got to be a priority for these guys Otherwise, we're just gonna have more and more devices like this and it's gonna be stints And it's yeah, you know not just pacemakers and things that you know people rely on to live And if they're suddenly vulnerable or and or have to go through this process of possibly bricking themselves That's just bananas Update my heart say I'm secure again Hey folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to Daily Tech headlines You can find it at Daily Tech headlines.com on the Amazon Echo on the Google home and in the anchor app at anchor.fm So we're gonna actually have a part 2 to the discussion that Patrick and I had yesterday about augmented reality as More of these Windows mixed reality headsets get announced Del announced theirs earlier in the week and now Asus has announced its headset It has a 3d polygon shell an adjustable headband very similar to what the PlayStation VR has Distributes that weight across the head and it also contains quick drying antibacterial materials Which I know is something that appeals to you Scott as someone who is afraid of pink eye. Well, let's put it this way I'm not necessarily afraid of pink eye. I am annoyed that pink eye ever has to be an issue and so I Want what I want is a world where VR and AR and that kind of stuff can be more of our public life I'm part of that means Going to a mall and having an entire place dedicated to VR and AR Experiences and be able to go in there and be confident that the thing you're putting on your head Doesn't have some kids gombu in it. So I love this idea. I like that. They're thinking this way. Obviously. I must not be alone in this or else Why would they even make this a feature? So, yeah, well done Asus for being really as far as I know the first headset to implicitly have Quote-unquote technology that sort of covers that stuff. So that's good. Yeah, and I'll be honest 400 what is it? Let me I lost my place here for a second 449 euros. They haven't given a US price yet, but in Europe it'll cost 449 euros So this is at the upper end of expense of expensive for these windows mixed reality headsets Which are supposed to be 299 to 399 now This one comes with bundled controllers But if you compare that to del's visor windows mixed reality headset that was announced on monday with the bundled controllers That one's 459 dollars. So either the us price is going to be the same as the euro price Which usually isn't the case or this one's going to be a little more expensive and It's it's a it's a piece as roger and I kind of talked about on monday, too It's a piece of this landscape where You have cardboard on one end And then you have gear vr and daydream vr and now windows mixed reality headsets And then right next to them at the price point after the the drops is vive An oculus rift and then you got these augmented reality devices that are basically based on phones Coming to your phone and saying hey, you could just hold up your phone and look around Where do where do you think vr fits in because asus made a big deal about how this isn't just for games This is this is also to be used in the workplace and I I think We might be looking at a situation where vr and ar Actually start taking off more in enterprise than they do as a game machine. No, I tend to agree. Also. I think you're going to sell This device is not going to appeal to gamers as much because it doesn't have the focus that say the vibe or the oculus have Or has and I and I feel like that that's an advantage of those devices But also a disadvantage if you are in the market for Uh a gaming experience vr experience or even ar experience you look at devices That are built for take advantage of and otherwise support the gaming side of it Those this works with steam does that help that does help that helps a lot Uh, but fidelity matters. Um, you know when people are making their choice between say a playstation vr and a vive There's not only a big price difference, but there is a you know Equality difference. There's a different kind of fidelity you expect. Yeah versus I mean the sasus one has a 90 hertz refresh rate 1440 by 1440 panels It's pretty strong. Honestly. I'm I I think it looks good The controller is on a little fishy about and I don't know actually, you know why there's something Plasticy and angular about them that I don't like which could be nothing and they may be wonderful. I don't know um, but Regardless, one of the one of the things that is interesting is it's like microsoft is doing what microsoft always does They've built a platform And now that platform is going out to the oems and the oems have had a year or whatever to to work on their products And now we're seeing the likes of del and asus come out with these things That to me is the most exciting part about this Because i'm not necessarily certain these are going to be great headsets at launch and that their second or third iterations won't be Much better than these first iterations. What i'm excited about is this is a much broader base a much broader acceptance of a new idea Um, you could say well, what if it's like netbooks and it kind of fizzles or the original tablets in 2003 with giant fans in them And those kind of fizzle and Oshiba and everybody else, you know, I had these great ideas of making tablets and And so on but I think that when these things work And the platform's a strong one. It provides a way for these other manufacturers You know big ones like del and asus and everybody else to make Devices within that platform that means we're headed towards standardization It means that we're heading toward larger acceptance and it means lots more use cases than just I want to play fallout 4 in vr Yeah, well, especially I mean the other thing to think about I know it's only 60 frames per second when you're hooking it up to the Lower powered machines, but again if you want to use it in the workplace and you're not doing super high frame rate stuff Uh, maybe that's great. Maybe that allows you to say, oh, you know, we can hook things up to some work stations We already have so there's a lot of flexibility there. You're right. Well said Plus 60 frames per second is basically all the eye can really perceive So anything beyond that is just like bragging points when people do it's also nausea reduction when it's on 16 That's true. The less you can get the better obviously the more rather the more frames per second the better But you know, if somebody's getting 180 frames per second in quake, they're just showing off They really can't tell in this case. It's going to be similar to that. I I just want to see If the if if the promise of mixed reality is all it's cracked up to be Yeah, we've seen lots and lots about vr and lots and lots about ar but these are attempts to cross that That bridge will it become jack of too many trades or will it truly be the multifunction device we want? And we'll need to get our hands on some to see and I don't think that price is that bad I mean people are saying it's on the high side, but it's right there with what you'd expect from So you're saying mixed reality or mixed results Ah very well said more like mixed vegetables Which one is the peas? All right, let's get to our messages of the day before we're out of here Russell just emailed in like while we were doing the show From houston. He said tom and crew wanted to give you an update on the situation here The city suffered unthinkable damage getting more than 40 inches of rain Over 20 trillion gallons of water people are stranded the shelters are filling up It'll be a while before the city recovers and we are afraid of that That said the efforts of the first responders and general citizens has been nothing short of heroic The community has drawn together to help those in need and the spirit of volunteerism is truly amazing Space city will not be brought down by harvey. We will prevail Uh, thank you Russell for for checking in we're glad you're safe and that you're doing okay And our heart goes out to everybody affected in houston by this Yeah, indeed. I was the only other thing I would say here is I think they They houston was really instrumental in helping people with katrina when it came to people Flooding out of louisiana out of parts of mississippi and trying to find a place to stay And houston really opened their doors for that So I I guess i'm happy that it's not surprising to see that they've got that same spirit during this mess because it is So uh, so stay safe houston stay safe louisiana and uh, and don't forget, uh, the horrible flooding that's been happening in northern india As well, uh, even more lives lost there and that's been ongoing So natural disasters don't respect borders unfortunately and and and we all Respect that and if there is something you can do to make a difference consider doing that All right, uh, I heard you guys mentioned that they're that three hills mine And I thought I could shed some light on why alberta is so favorable for high electrical demand projects like big server farms This is reed from smoky calgary says i'm a petroleum engineer here and I deal with it daily Alberta produces a large amount of oil and gas throughout the whole province The bulk of this oil is heavier and typically comes with what we call solution gas The natural gas leaving the oil pushes it into our wells So we have to produce gas to make the oil even when gas has little to no value This means everyone around here has an abundance of gas without much reason to build natural gas pipelines to sell it Typically it'd just be vented or flared which is basically wasted The industry is now under a lot of pressure to use this gas rather than put more co2 in the air for no benefit And one of the easiest ways is to burn it in a generator and make power Unfortunately, everyone is doing this to the point where power prices are very low or in most cases now There's no room for more generators demand has been met and then some So if you're looking for a place likely to have cheap power for years to come Head on up here. We'd love to have you and ps if anybody in the audience had any great tech ideas to help us Use this extra natural gas up at remote sites myself and many others would be all ears We sometimes give it away for free if we can find someone to take it Oh That's and then he sent along a link Uh that where you can get a live view of alberta's current power demand and generation status divided out between the different types Well, look at that. Yeah, well done canada. I I mean, I don't know whatever happened to natural gas car conversions But maybe there's something there, you know, yeah The problem is the tanks To hold the gas are kind of heavy and it's not that they're more expensive It's an easy conversion because for most gas engine powered cars It's not that much to ever smooth fuel of a liquid fuel And then natural gas because they both get atomized at the injector Uh, but it's just, you know, the the facilities infrastructure isn't there You got to find somewhere to put a giant, you know leakproof tank On a car because you'll have to you have to put the natural gas under a huge amount of pressure to store it effectively in your car and For a lot of people, I mean the trade-off wasn't there They did it for some fleet cars like cities and cabs Yeah, it's too bad. It's not uh propane. You could uh the barbecue world would love canada, man Jeff s posted on our blog uh to thank everyone for their suggestions for coding software and other resources He says we decided scratch junior was a great introduction And she's already creating characters and storylines with it Of course, she being his five-year-old the puzzle block symbols is a very easy to understand System linking the actions together for her characters. Her current favorite is the voice recorder blocks Co-worker also suggested code.org is another resource. I downloaded unity and will work on exploring it So when she wants to take game design to the next level I'll have some familiarity with the subject matter and can give guidance Thanks again to everyone who responded to this call for help Jeff Man the tools the kids have today. It's embarrassing kid. We were just dirty kids sitting in our diapers in the dirt with a stick And then finally nick wrote in now we we covered this on the post show yesterday But if you only listen to the main show uh in reply to patrick saying 4k is a higher resolution to uhd He might be kind of confusing the fact that there are three standards I don't think he was confusing it. I think because when we talked about it afterwards He said yes, that's exactly what he meant the actual 4k resolution was invented for the cinema And is a real resolution of 40 96 by 2016 Exactly two times the height than width of 2k resolution and is referred to as either dci 4k or just 4k The term was co-opted by consumers wanting 4k in their homes and the tv manufacturers went along with it But made the resolution 38 40 by 21 60, which is exactly two times the height than width of 1080p It would be correctly called 21 60p or uhd 1 depending on the features But almost nobody calls it that unfortunately and therefore causes confusion between the real 4k spec 21 60p and uhd Kind of like how you americans call all tissues Kleenex even though Kleenex is a particular tissue 4k has been similarly Genericized the correct nonmarketing way to refer to them would be cinema resolution is 4k tv resolution without hdr And wide color is 21 60p and tv resolution with hdr and wide color is uhd And yes 4k ultra hd is marketing that tries to encapsulate all the buzzwords I learned a lot about this by listening to scott wilkinson on twits home theater geeks podcast So scott's a great resource for that kind of thing. You should absolutely check that out if you're so inclined Yeah, my monitor i got for gaming and 4k was actually This 21 60p solution the double the height And width of 1080p and that's what my television my 4k television is the same thing Yeah, I think that's pretty common now um in terms of some of the you know the stuff we have at home But yeah, this stuff can get confusing and when they layer in that marketing level It just makes everyone have a little more well a little more natural gas. Tom. Well. Yeah, i'm kidding Hey, thank you scott johnson for uh being here as always what you got going on to tell people about Oh, i'm just getting back into the groove. I've been gone for six days So everything's getting ramped up if you like daily shows and you're way into that idea of uh content that comes every day My day recommend a little morning show called the morning stream with myself and brian ibbitt It's uh every day monday through thursday twice on thursdays in fact you can find it at Frogpants.com slash tms. You can be there live or check it out later on the podcast Hey, thanks to everybody who supports the show. Uh, we definitely are above our goal of one more patron Then last month and that is thanks to you. Uh, we're going into the last day So hang in there don't cancel in the next two days and keep us ahead of that goal And we have some new goals that we'll be announcing on friday So be sure to stay tuned for that Uh, you can find how to support the show if you haven't already at patreon.com slash dtns And we thank everybody who does our email address is feedback at daily tech news show dot com We're live monday through friday 4 30 p.m. Eastern 20 30 utc at alphakeek radio dot com and diamond club dot tv And our website is daily tech news show dot com. Justin robert young's on the road tomorrow So allison charidan will be here be good to talk to her. She's been on the road too. Talk to you then Show is part of the frog pants network get more at frogpants.com Club hopes you have enjoyed this program I almost hurt myself doing that Well, don't do that Well, I have uh I don't think it's torn. I have an injury in my rotator cuff Oh, wow from his old baseball days Yeah So if i'm not careful and I do too much that way hurts feel that, huh? Not like that's not like, um Veronica's though, right hers was no because mine's not swollen. So my doctor's like, I don't think you'll need any surgery She's like, let's just do some physical therapy on it and see if we can get it back in shape Uh, yes, uh, Veronica's old gymnastics injury You're all podcasting injury, you know, I'm a little sad that nobody in the show bot has decided to use uh, where's that term in the email? um There it is The the Kleenex is a particular tissue would have totally been a pick for me Well, we have uh update my heart Update my heart Hey, google vacuum things Tom's control south southern california weather scott doesn't hold it against him Essentially, we messed up cortana opens ai Al Al x uh Cortana tells alex a alex a i like alex a to tell cortana to tell You know what screw those There's no place like we could safely put them in a headline. We just get to say about loud. That's yeah My head tells me to update the firmware, but my heart says no. Oh, by the way somebody who has echo pause Set as their wake word was complaining because we that set it off. I'm like, well, I'm gonna say that I'm sorry. That's why you say al franken Yeah, uh, I really like don't break my heart, but that's my own personal don't break my heart Pretty good. Good one. That's a good one. That is really good update my heart or don't break my heart of my favorite so far Platform agnostic Have a broken heart. We have a firmware update for that Uh, essentially, oh wait Don't break my heart my achy brickey. I remember to fix broken heart pacemaker That was a good one silver blade There's a lot of pacemaker ones Mm-hmm Isis and the mixed vegetables of VR Windows mixed vegetables Tom almost hurt himself It's one of them in here Don't break my heart my achy brickey heart don't break my heart Yeah, all right. Just just don't break my heart though as much as I like the achy achy brickey It's shorter. All right That's pretty good Scott Johnson how nice job. Good. Well done Well, it was so good. I almost swallowed my gum wallored it And I'd already put the pacemaker thing in the show description. So That makes it easy All right Good good work team Yes, well done efficient We've got the gas gas knowledge from roger Right at the VR insight from scott gas knowledge.  You're not learning these mistakes I I'm sorry. You know what, you know people fall for the same broken relationships one after another I have an issue. You have a broken relationship with taco bell. Is that what you're saying? Yes You have a toxic relationship with taco bell. There's something there's something almost Uh seductive about taco bell, and I don't know you know, she's bad for you roger But you just keep going back and ordering her deluxe supremes Yeah, like the kfc doesn't have that like kfca you're like, oh, it's kind of gross Not to not to say that all kfc I find the things I order from taco bell to be perfectly fine I stick to the the chicken breast And and basically just you know flour tortillas lettuce tomato keep it pretty simple and it's not bad at all Oh I I'm one of the I really like that ground beef is but that'll get you every time That those loco the tacos made of the doritoshell. Oh, yeah. No now you're now you're in crazy land Oh man, I I can taste it now Because a a chicken soft taco with the may not not out of the shredded meat, but out of the breast chunks Those are Actually made of food I'm looking at you. It's like, okay They're being a food ride. You know what I'm saying like the dorito thing like who knows what it's and that's not that's not all food in there No, it's possibly lots of coloring and msg, but ah the msg makes it taste so yummy I don't know that they use msg at Taco Bell. I don't want to I know I was used to Doritoships, so I assume If they use the they might not they might decide not to in there Maybe Hard to say Well msg's are naturally occurring compounded mushrooms. So if you like mushrooms, you're getting an msg anyway Although not as much Why Taco Bell isn't telling you about their ingredients right under a link to ingredients for all Taco Bell items from taco bell Some some study I just saw we did on tms I don't know how reliable it is says that they're al fresco menu made them the most healthy fast food restaurant in america Taco Bell. Yeah. Yeah, I buy it the the the bowls and stuff Yeah, I suppose that stuff's better than any but nobody else can boast the nutritional content or something of a fat for among fast food restaurants Yeah, it's a very yeah very specific group. But right But that included a pretty big group like it's like saying like, you know, this is the best You know gas or a public bathroom station that you'll find on the gas station I think it's better than that. I think I really do Where is there they have vegetarian? I don't see their talk. What's this taco fresco? I've never seen it It's the cantina menu Where they use like fresh fresh vegetables Low salt Dollar cravings. I usually just go straight to the dollar cravings.  Oh, I love their empanada pies, which are basically just pies Those are also not good for you I don't know what to tell you Seems to me that some of the responsibility for this lies in the orderer, not just the restaurant Yeah, the customer. I've been I've been brainwashed by a televised chihuahua telling me to make it I haven't had the chihuahua in a decade a decade. Well, I'll show you how how much tv I've watched since that time I watched a lot of Netflix.  It's like, oh this is gross Oh, we do the same thing but I I tend to believe you have healthier options if you can take them At Taco Bell and then what scott was saying back me up on that, which is good to know. Yeah It's supposed to be good I never and everyone always says oh, I spent all day in the bathroom if you need to talk now Depends on what you order Yeah, there are certain things you can order that will definitely have that effect on you Yeah, if you eat like eight bean burritos, then that's all you man Don't eat the beans I just remember alex lindsey's email to tom and I don't eat the beans Ever since then I never eat the beans. Let me tell you why you shouldn't eat the uh, yeah See exactly It's not a pleasant. I mean alex bent. Well, just I know but it was not a pleasant story No, no, it wasn't It kind of remind not that it's um Like it's it's That's such a weird thing their menus Are both incredibly expansive but incredibly confusing Like the decision my decision tree gets that's one of the reasons I like in and out Yeah, you just have burgers fries shake done Give me cow sand with cheese. There's there's complexity It's off menu where you can be like, hey, put some onions or do this or put it in a rapid lettuce. Whatever secret menu They should do something like that for taco bell or tacos or talk about does have a secret menu Because pretty much anything that they used to make they've still got the ingredients for and the recipes back there Meximal used to be off the menu for years and you could still order it All right, scott. What's taking up all your attention there? What are you reading? Uh an email from my mother Now that's much less controversial than I was expecting Yeah, it's not very controversial and also a really good reason to be paying attention. I'm gonna tell her Hey mom, I'll have to think about this and get back to her Tell her we're we're we're wrapped up here.  Hey, thanks everybody for watching uh and hanging out We always love having you and uh, it's the only reason we do it It's because you're here to listen to it and watch it. So take care my friends. I love you people

A Chinese immigrant in San Francisco who was attacked violently three times in the past seven years randomly on the street has finally decided to move back to his homeland giving up on his life in America. Yeah, this is going viral in several Asian circles right now. It's sparking a lot of discussion, guys. We are going to cover it, of course, give our own two cents. Make sure you like, subscribe, and turn on your notifications, of course.  Let's just read the headline here. 87 year old grandfather has decided to move back to China after being attacked in San Francisco three different times. Here is some screen caps from him being drop kicked. You know, it's just like it's sparking a lot of internet discussion right now. Because a lot of people are saying, you know, where are we headed as a country?   And obviously, if you look at the policies, everything down to who was former Chesa Boudin to now the mayor to the DA, whatever it is, I'm not again, an expert on SF policy. But I can tell you this, a lot of people are sick and tired of whatever's going on. But I think this is a story because obviously, one of the attacks was very high profile, everybody talked about we talked about it. It was part of the whole kind of Asian hate wave of attacks, right? And now he's finally going back and I feel like I honestly empathize so much with him. And I can only empathize as much as I can. But in a way like I'm trying to understand where his mind is at. And it makes complete sense to move back. What I guess what are you saying is the logic behind it? Obviously, listen, he was attacked seven years ago. He was beaten unconscious. There's a video of him being dropped kick while he's in a wheelchair. Clearly four months ago, he has a documented case being punched multiple times while walking the Walgreens in the Soma District. Listen, he's 87 years old. He has a youngest son who is living in China. He had also a son out in America, right? That was kind of like sort of taking care of him. But it clearly his life in America he's not in the right environment and he's not going to be happy and he's thinking, listen, if he does get attacked again, we don't know what's going to happen. Maybe he passes after that attack. Does he want to pass on the street in SF? Does he want to be in China in his homeland where he's actually from? And that makes a lot of sense and I feel for him. But I think this is one of those, I think like cases that it kind of reminds me of like, I heard stories of after World War II and after the Japanese were interned, right? Something that was so traumatic to so many Japanese Americans. A lot of them who were Japanese born but living in America and even some Japanese Americans moved back to Japan actually after some time because they were just like, yo, I lost everything in America. My life in America is not the same. I'm going to move back. So, so it's similar. You went through this trauma. America is a great country. It's great. But like not everybody's situation is great and definitely the way they're running and it doesn't turn out great for everybody. No, and it's not great for everybody. Of course not. So clearly his situation is not going to improve in very quickly and he's already getting really old. He's going to have his peace back in China. Yeah, we're going to get into the breakdown some quick thoughts right now. He does live around the tenderloin district. It's known as a like the drug area. That's a tough place to live, man, for anybody, even if you're young. But especially the elderly women, smaller people, people who are not accustomed to dealing with that environment. He actually, a lot of people are like, oh, how doesn't he know? Wasn't it didn't he come to America? He actually only came to America 24 years ago. So he might, he didn't, it's not like he grew up on the mean streets of the tenderloin like navigating it. No, and obviously I'm sure him being in the tenderloin, it wasn't by fully choice. I'm sure if he had the means and family members could fit him into their lives that he would live somewhere else. But I don't know exactly their family situation. But he did say quote, like, I don't want to be kind of like a burden on my son's life anymore. And I don't want him to worry about me here. So I'm going to go back to China where it's safer. And this thing is not likely to happen. Obviously he goes back to China is homeland David. He gets to speak Cantonese all he wants. He's going to be with other older people that maybe he grew up with people that he left behind. Obviously his 24 year journey in America did not pan out maybe to what he wanted. So he has the option of going back. So my question is this, do you think more and more elderly?  Yeah, I mean, I think it's dependent on the support system they'll have because obviously he has a son that moved back to Guangzhou as well. And plus, it's not to say that his whole 24 year thing was like failed in the sense of like, if he gave birth to some kids or whatever, right? You're right. You don't mean got some his grandkids better job opportunities. But yeah, in terms of his own risk exposure on the street, walking through bad neighborhoods. Yeah, it was horrible. You know what I mean? His own life in America is not looking good. The trajectory is not looking good. So he's just going to take himself out of this environment to go to Guangzhou. He can eat that. I mean, Guangzhou super chill. It's a chill place to live.  What's the opportunity cost? What's the risk exposure? Here's the thing, man, different zip codes or different neighborhoods in America are becoming even more variable. They were always variable. But I think in 2024, like the fishbowl America is made of many, many, many fish bowls. The fish bowls are even becoming more disparate in terms of potential outcomes. Variants, like you mean the highs and the lows of a neighborhood are getting larger, the disparity between the highs and the lows. The lows are getting lower and the highs are getting higher. The rich people are getting richer. There's more high rises, more luxury buildings, but also maybe there's more people in trouble. And to your point about people moving back, I could see people moving around too. You know, it's funny, some people could move from like Oakland to San Gabriel Valley, but we know people who move from Roland Heights, which is a nice place in San Gabriel Valley, to Tempe, Arizona, which is a new Asian enclave. If you guys know it's outside of Phoenix. So I just think there's pros and cons to every environment, every situation.  And it's like, it's not going to be, the answer is not going to be the same for everybody. You have to analyze your own individual situation based off your individual metrics, opportunity costs, of course, opportunities and capacities, depending on where you're moving. All right, let's get into the comments section. Somebody said, my elder relatives in the Bay Area are thinking the same. Their retirees, the cost is high and the crime is up and they're getting targeted. So why don't they just go back? Because Andrew, it is true. Like labor costs in China of getting a caretaker and like food costs would be way lower. Yeah. And it's true. Like they said, like, hey, their children have done a lot better economically. If they send that money back, the money's going to go a lot further in China. Yeah. Right. And I think for elderly Chinese retirees, bro, it makes sense because like the retiree life in China, like if I'm young, I'm not moving like, well, first of all, I'm not from China. So I wouldn't move back. But I'm saying like, for them who literally were born and raised there, came here, saw their family, get great opportunities in America, make something of themselves. And now they're kind of like, Hey, I just want to like have a peaceful elderly life. And I'm not going to get that in America because the crime is going crazy. And isn't it like Guangzhou changed a lot in 24 years? I'll tell you this, Guangzhou changed a lot even in like the last 12 years. Yeah. You know, the Wee chats and they got DD chairs and just to say just because elderly Chinese people are moving back to China, that doesn't mean China as a country is all of a sudden all good all around. I'm just saying, literally, if you're trying to live a humble, peaceful life, that's super Chinese. Yes.  But I'm sure he has no he's chill. He's not even on his mind. He's not trying to do too much. So yeah, of course, Andrew, there was a lot of questions. Why is he walking in those bad neighborhoods? Tenderloin is known as a drug in a bad area. I'm not blaming the victim, but why don't you be aware of your surroundings? Other people are like, bro, a lot of people don't have the privilege to live in nicer, safer places. That's maybe all he could afford. He likes the walkability of it. What do you think of this? Because a lot of people are like, Oh, well, why don't these Asian elders just get out of that zone? You know what I mean? Because a lot of Asian elders, it's true, they're in like these like really decrepit hood zones. And then people are just like wondering like, why is that like I wouldn't let my grandpa do that. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. It's just family situation. Sometimes they don't have the means. The family doesn't have the means. Maybe they're stubborn. They don't want to move. They like the walkability. Yeah, it could be nice. This next to this like community center that they like. But the second they go to the store around the corner from the community center, the risk exposure levels explode. Yeah. People are saying elders deserve protection. A society that doesn't value the elderly and other vulnerable populations is a failed one. I hope he finds peace at his destination. Well, I'll say this, these comments, they, I agree with them. But what do they really mean for like the reality on the ground? I don't really know because I feel like a lot of people like, I don't know. Some people said, don't move to America. It's a third world country with serious issues. Better countries are Canada and New Zealand. They are much safer on a statistical level than the US. Of course, Andrew, he didn't have the connections to go to Canada and New Zealand. But yes, theoretically, that's true though, right? Yeah, but then it's so crazy because America is such a great land of opportunities and economic opportunities, especially for the kids and freedom. Not everybody cares about freedom, but economic opportunities. Almost everybody cares about that. So you move here for that. But along with economic opportunity, especially in the cities in America, there is it's not always that safe. It's spiraled into a discussion about crime, Andrew, everything from local SF politics, how Chesa Boudin was letting everybody out. This guy who dropped kicked him, Ramos Hernandez, he got out in seven months. That's crazy. And then other people are just saying, well, you know, I don't agree with everything in China, but at least criminals aren't coddled there. They got some harsh punishments for people doing everything. Whereas unlike America, we got real soft on crime. Yeah, I mean, that's a really, really, really dense debate right now on the internet about like, what should America do about crime on the streets, right? Somebody just said, you know, sometimes older relatives, they're just so stubborn, they just like can't really like crunch the numbers of the risk exposure on the street.  You know, it's true. It's hard to tell them that other people said, why don't you just you just need to get out of woke California, man? You need to get to other places. Is it the function of being in a place like SF or California? Or is it a function of just American attitudes in general? No, I mean, I'm sure, listen, if you had a son that had a family in space in Arizona, maybe or like some other city in Texas, maybe, maybe he would have moved there. But ultimately, he got support back in China and the cost of living is cheaper.  So it's like, why move to another US city that might be a little safer, but still, it's not going to be safer than in Guangzhou. To be honest, it's not going to be no US city is safer than like the big cities in China.  Like it's not going to be like a hyper dense Cantonese community. There's only a few of those. There's only New York. There's only Oakland. There's only SF. And in a way, you could say San Gabriel Valley, but even the walkability is kind of questionable. I guess you could walk on Garvey or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, if you just want to listen, man, he's old. He just wants, I mean, listen, if he only has several more years, he wants you to spend it in peace. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fine. I understand. Of course, it just turned into a huge argument about politicians. Oh, who did this guy vote for? Did he vote the administration in that is ultimately responsible for the decay of the structures of society or whatever? And like, you know, it just turned into a whole another thing about that. I mean, we're talking about like 50 threads going back and forth. Ultimately, man, you know, what's the best for Rongxing Liao? I think that one thing that it always strikes me when I hear stories like this is everybody's experience in America as an immigrant is highly variable. I have heard everything from like the Panda Express story. You know what I mean? All the way down to Rongxing Liao or even worse. And I'm just saying it's dependent on so many different factors and I guess nobody should try to just think that it's always going to be one way or the other. You got to examine your own situation. Obviously, you want to do the things to put yourself in the best situation from a probability mathematical statistical standpoint having the highest output of success. And like I said, it doesn't mean that he didn't give his kids and his grandkids a better chance at life. I do not want to insinuate that his 24 years here was a failure at all. I'm just saying his current life is clearly not could be a lot better. And if you have an option to make it better or easier, safer, go do that. Right? But yeah, I'm sure that you know, he has a son here with grandkids. He has grandkids in America and that's cool. Maybe the great grandkids get to experience a much different life. I'm sure. So anyways, uh, yeah, I mean, I wish anybody like him. He's been through a lot in a in a in a tumultuous area of America that's not safe. And that's unfortunate. But yeah, I mean, I'm sure he's going to live a lot more chill life and at least he's going to be at peace in his homeland. So I guess that is the story. Sometimes the story of immigrants in America, right? Anyways, you guys, let us know in the comments down below. What do you think?
