Hey guys, how's it going? Meet typewise. Hi. This is a live demo Hey guys, this is David. I'm the co-founder of a typewise Bringing you to the 21st century Maybe you've wondered Why you're still using a typewriter Technology on on your smartphone and we're heard to change that so very glad to be on the show Nice. I'm just gonna switch over to to one of those videos you have on your YouTube channel So you have a special design for the layout, right? Exactly, that's one of the things you will notice I mean the big like a big challenge that that we have on our phones And and we use those to type quite a lot Is that keys are small and that's why we make a lot of typos according to his study from uni Cambridge One of the five words that we type on our phones contain typos and for many people That's annoying or it can even be embarrassing if you send out a a wrong message and our Hexagonal layout, um, which we've also patented Makes keys 70 larger and um together with some smart technology That's now coming out with typewise 3.0 next week We achieve up to four times fewer typos than you get on your regular iphone or android keyboard I just saw in this video that it goes from the honeycomb back to a kind of like a more standard or Is that just showing the difference between the different Keyboards you always use the honeycomb for your keyboard No, you're right. We have both options. Um, we understand that like using the honeycomb takes about a week To to learn it to get used to it and we understand that not every user Is willing to do that so we offer both both options But also the standard layout comes with a lot of benefits such as this wiping gestures would have shown you at the beginning The improved auto correction tax predictions and of course 100 privacy, which is very important So so it's a free app. It's on android ios Yes, so it's uh, you can download it for free. You can use it for free. There are no ads We don't collect your typing data. Um, there is a premium version Um, so for example, you will see it in in this video one of the key Benefits of going premium Is that you can type in multiple languages at the same time? Um, so I think uh, I'm just showing it here. I mean a few seconds Uh, so especially for for a lot of people that use english At yeah, here you see it. There's a language flag and that just switches when type wise recognizes. Hey Um, you're using another language. Um, so this is automatic and this is one of the premium features And there are other things such as customizing the the colors many advanced settings That you can then do the upgrade and you've been uh It's been launched for uh, is it four three four years now or what's the Because I saw your first video is where was it four years ago? Yeah, so the The back stories. Um, yes, we did start of like four years ago with a kickstarter Yeah, you see rio keyboard that it's it was like a prototype that we did in our spare time um, it's it was very basic i'm at the beginning and We just saw hey, there were actually quite quite a few people that that enjoyed it Even though it was in in now looking back quite like quite a shitty product And uh, we then said in the end of 2019. Hey, let's do this full time And uh, we we invested a bit of our own money in in a building like a like a real product And we then launched type wise as the real version at in in december 2019 So it has been out for about 15 months And the next week we have the the next big I'm like app release coming out And uh, one of the big things you're doing is the ai that goes around it or You really uh, you can confirm that you you have a better ai than what google is doing and Swift type or how do how does that possible? Yes, um, it's a fair question. So, um, we work together with uh, eth Zurich, um with the ai center We have a uh a as a government Like funded research grant So what we do Or what we are launching now next week is a is a totally new auto correction technology And um, if you look at benchmarks, um, which we've done together with the university You will see that we we better like we correct better Than what a gboard? Correct. Yeah, it's it's it's not three times better than than than gboard, but it is it it is significantly better Better than and then a swift key and the reason why it's better Is that we we also look at like for us, it's also important not just that the That the keyboard corrects a lot, but also that it doesn't do any wrong corrections Because the user it's very annoying if you write something and the keyboard starts correcting this to something else and You don't want that. So for example, we include now an undo button Where if the correction is wrong, you can just tap that undo button and then the keyboard learns from you And that's how we combine user interface and ai to to like bring those two things together and to to offer the best possible user experience Uh, how's a honeycomb compared to the most traditional? Is there like more rows or it's just the same bigger and a little bit like Different angles and stuff. Uh, how difficult is it to get used to it? Yes, so it's very It's very similar in the way of the key positions So maybe the the the reason why honey come um, the reason is that our finger prints On the touchscreen are round and so the key shape should be as round as possible Which you achieve perfectly with honey like with with uh, um hexagonal keys um Changing the the the position of of of the characters doesn't really help much There there are also studies by by university of helsinki That that looked at that and and and we we understood that this is not this is not helping much using their models Um, so that's why we said, hey, we we used the better key shapes to reduce typos But we keep the key arrangement as close as possible to to courty So to make the the the learning and adaptation phase, um easy, so it takes about a week um What we've also done is we've put for example space keys in the middle because those we use actually the most I think in english language over 20 percent Of key usage or space keys, so they should be maybe we can switch to uh to the camera so we you can show while you talk about it Yeah, absolutely. Let's do that now. I don't see myself, but I hope that this is yeah So you can see here in the middle are the space keys. Um, oh in the middle Yeah, um, so they're like in the resting position of your thumb Um another feature is we have you can swipe up on the ladder to like capitalize it So I don't have a shift Um like a shift key, but I just capitalize by swiping up which saves time And then of course our delete A short swipe deletes one letter And along or swipe you can delete as much as you want and if you delete it too much You just go back and until you find the sweet spot and there you go Um, so it's really thought about. Hey, how can we use? Swipe gestures to to to make the the use of the keyboard more more intuitive What's happening in the bottom where where I see this is a microphone icon and the world Is that a big space bar? Yeah, that's no that's just ios standard So i'm on an iphone and that's just given by the system Ah, so so apple don't let you play in that area or nope. No, okay, so it's different on the android Absolutely, no So, um Then on an android you would have the the the mic icon as something in the different corner Yes, so voice to type is something that um, we have on our roadmap. Um, we so for us Like the specialty of rai is that everything runs on the device So, um, there is no typing data, um sent You know across the internet Um, so if you're using privacy friendly applications such as signal messaging, for example, it's also important that the keyboard And that you're using to type is also private and that's what you can get with type wise And the same then goes for voice typing So for us, it's important that when we release this feature that it also supports on device privacy So this is coming in the future And uh all this ai stuff it just works offline Yeah, so we obviously train the ai with large amounts of data beforehand And then when you install the app it already works in 40 languages So we support english, french, spanish, german and 30 36 other languages And then the ai starts learning from you How you type as a user But that learning that happens exclusively on your device How do you switch to the more standard mode? Um, so you can do that in in this menu Where you also have the languages that you selected and then you have a button here Um, and then you just switch to the standard mode And you would still say that the standard mode for you your keyboard is better than the g board and the swift With the version three that's coming in on the 28th of april. Yes So what's happening on 28th of april? Yeah, yeah, no um, so uh, I mean We are um releasing type y is a 3.0 So this is coming out. Um, obviously what exactly uh, is it is in it? That's will be revealed on the 28th But what I can say is that it contains a completely new ai auto correction technology, which we have developed with um, eth Zurich, um, for which we have filed a patent for um, and uh, which will dramatically also improve the experience that you will get with a traditional layout So when you go back to the honeycomb, um, what's your uh, what's your research? What's your science telling you in terms of Uh hitting the characters more correctly? Is that like the is that the smart idea of doing a honeycomb? Is that why the bees are doing honeycomb stuff or nothing to do with it? Yeah, no, I mean one of so the There are different components of the science one component is that you can just look at the the fingerprints and the way we hit the keys and or think and the like with the The hexagons they basically maximized the distance between the center of of the letters So if you compare it to a courty where you have 10 Characters in the same row the distance between those character centers becomes very narrow And that's why most mistakes happen to the left or to the right of a given key And we maximize the distance which reduces the errors Um, that's one part of the science the other part of the science is using Um side like the the um existing scientific models that um try to optimize Typing speed also for laptop keyboards and applying those models to the smartphone And that then helped us determining the position of the keys The third piece of science is an actual user testing and and doing ab testing Which we've done um over quite a amount of time And then the fourth piece of of evidence comes with a large typing study done by the university of cambridge Where they've looked at 37 000 people and how they type and we've then also had our users type wise users perform The same exact test And we were able thus to compare The results of different keyboards also against type wise and how everything, you know actually performs at the end This is a us configuration right now Um German actually, um German can you is it easy for you to switch to us? Um, I thought it was a us a little flag on the Yes, so we decoupled the language from the From the layout composition because i'm used to a quartz type of layout So I like to have the z up here and the y down there But I still would like to write in english So I don't want my keyboard configuration to switch when I change my language So to do that I can I can open the the type wise app Just bear with me And um, you will have here beautiful This is then the app and you have here the settings where you can select your um default layout You can select your languages Um, and then the default language determines the keyboard layout. So in my case, this is german. That's why I have a qordy a a a a quartz another qordy if I were to drag english on top Um, then obviously that would change. Can we see that how it looks? Absolutely So then you have a qordy And if you were to use french you would get an a zirty layout for example So the q is is a little bit lower than the w and that's on purpose the way it's designed, right? Yeah, that's just the way um We can like the hexagons work and how we can maximize the space. We didn't want to make the keyboard larger I mean, you could also make a keyboard that occupies your entire smartphone screen, but then I think that defeats the purpose So we had the constraint of the keyboard size And within that constraint we maximized the use of the actual letters So that people can type as fast as possible with as with as much accuracy as possible So we have comments coming in from the chat 6355 is asking I need to also have check And typical special characters previewed as second layer on the default keys What can you say about that? Yeah, I mean it's the same in german So we have here we have to you and then um, you can You can you can just swipe between those and it basically displays Those special characters that are Existent in the languages that he selected so I have german and spanish And that's why I have those two so type wise picks picks the ones that are relevant to your language And uh, he also asked no want to see a hexa actual usb keyboard Is that this is that this secret project for uh for uh the 28th of april? Yeah, um, I it's a fair question. I think The the benefit of the hexagons are really for touch screens and and for two like for two thumb typing Let's put it that way For 10 finger typing I think the quality It's I mean you don't need hexagonal key shapes per se Because you have physical keys like you have this haptic feedback you get from the keyboard And I think there are other keyboards like dvorak, which have I think optimized A a keyboard layout for 10 fingers. It takes about three months to learn But if you want to be as fast as possible on on 10 finger, then I think there are options out there already But but but we really built this for tooth. I'm typing on a smartphone type device But over there at your at your headquarter r&d center, maybe the university partnership or something you already have the The honeycomb usb keyboard, right? I'm talking. Yeah. Yeah. Look. I mean For for us the future is Rather hey where like where does the future of typing go? um, and That is more about well, why do I have to when I type when I type a text? I basically have to type letter by letter. I'm basically dictating to the computer of how to spell my words And we think this is this is very cumbersome um So I think the the the future will more will go more into the direction of of of the system anticipating How I may complete my sentence and if this is accurate I can type multiple words with one single click On the smartphone on the desktop So we think this is rather the the type of innovation that that we will see and maybe eventually we we won't have keyboards anymore As we know them today um And and this is really the direction that we see our next five. They've been around for what 100 years When is the typewriter 150 years 150? That's crazy. That's awesome. It's a good. Uh, good invention uh, the Yeah Absolutely, but I'm I don't think the guy had a patent on it. Um, so I think there were parallel um, um inventions happening in that space and I don't think there was a multi-billionaire created out of that invention. Um But I think different pieces that just um continued existing I don't think they had billions back in the 80s. No, but now they would probably uh It didn't really exist. Uh, so, um, somebody says we would lose lose the gestures if it was physical Yeah, you would or you wouldn't yeah, I think if it was physical you would lose the gestures. Um Absolutely, but it will look dope. Yeah, that could be So, uh, do you have like a community of users that are enthusiastic? Um, I I would love to say so. Yes.  They're still separate between ios and android. Um, we we are obviously Very much in touch also with our users in terms of in terms of features and feedback and we try to involve them Um, obviously, there are always more ideas than than what we can Deliver so that's why we have also a feature platform where people can vote So we so then we kind of know. Hey, what is maybe just one guy's opinion versus what are maybe 500 people saying? um, we also closed a investment round last year and Are are looking at raising another round this year, which also helps us now to get a bit more speed In terms of development Onto the road. So I like to see more features coming out more more frequently How do you how do you expand? How does that work? Uh, when you have an investor? How did this? How do you Most efficiently use the investment to improve the product? Yeah, I think um, one is we're big right right now in terms of geographies we focus on On the let let's say latin speaking world. Um, so we have not ventured out to asia in the uh, um the middle east Um, just to kind of focus, but I think it's still like a very large market Um, the way we we improve the product. I think it's it's uh, it's three things Of course, um my co founder janis who also invented let's say, um the product I think he always has new ideas So that's one source then we have the user community which is which is a a a second source Um, sometimes there are new possibilities created by better hardware by by updates from from ios and androids Um, and then it's always about testing these things. Yeah, that's that's for us very important That we always tested in the product. We see what what works better So we have a very active beta community where we can test new features We can see how to make them ready Also to like launch in the market. Um, and that's basically how we improve the product Your your audio. I think your audio is sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. I've muted myself Is it possible that uh, uh, one of the scenarios that are uh attractive for a business like yours is maybe At some point that it's so cool that one of the companies like samsung or huawei wants to default Put it in Yeah, I mean that's I think that's a very valid growth growth scenario If you look at a company like swithki, um, which in the end got acquired for a substantial amount of money by by microsoft Um, that's the path they took right they grew on the app stores And then eventually they were integrated into certain phones and that's how they um, they grew much faster Um, I think for us, this is obviously a valid scenario. We are um in in early discussions with different large companies on that Um, I think you need a very mature product. So I would like to say that with type wise three Um, we we are one step closer to that I think there's still a few things that we would like to get done in the next coming months Um, but I think for us, this is definitely um a a important strategic um step to take And so there's a comment here. Uh, sure, but you don't have the smaller smaller row of characters like, uh, these things they're Uh upper right corner. What can you say about that? Yep. Um, so special characters, um, it's it's it's a fair point. Um, so right now the way it works is, um It's two things. Um, so we have Sorry, um, we have these special character buttons. Um, which produce Up to four characters depending on on how you press it So we put the most frequently used characters directly on the main layer So you can press the dot you can uh swipe up for a comma You can long press it or you can long press it and swipe up and that's how you get the four characters, which works quite well Um, then if you tap the one two three you get basically this this combo Um, now what we've seen is that this might be a bit. Whoa Um, and it's sometimes not so quick and especially what we've seen Is that different users use very different special characters? So we still don't have all the special characters that exist. So sometimes we get requests for very exotic ones Um, so we're releasing a a new concept of how you can very very quickly Um type special characters and I think these number the the number row that you've just mentioned is also part of that request Um, so I can just say stay tuned For a future update and in in in the next two to three months And we will have something very cool for you Would it make sense to have uh, let's say people learned the the the letters With your honeycomb, but then maybe they want to do the special characters in a more traditional way And so it would switch back and forward automatically between the traditional four special characters And then the letters in honeycomb Yeah, absolutely. I think um on on like the honeycomb is great for for for for typing But typically when you type special characters, you're not typing 20 in a row I I think nobody well, I don't say nobody maybe some people can but I personally could never remember where they are And you usually just need one or two Um, so I think there it's more about highlighting the ones that you actually use So I think the special characters could become a bit more user specific Um, and then it's maybe also not that big a benefit of having honeycomb for special characters at all. Yeah And so there's a lot of potential customization happening there, right? Absolutely, yeah And how how is it to have such a an app products and all these feature requests and trying to put them in Uh, is it kind of like uh, I guess it's it's not so easy sometimes no to get stuff done and you have to prioritize the roadmap Yeah, I think there we have found um a good way So we obviously work very stringent in like scrum methodology and uh, we have bigger objectives for like every quarter And then we we see every week what we get done to um to reach those objectives um Obviously it's sometimes sad when you have to keep telling people hey, it's coming later It's coming later But if they're more important or if we believe they're more important things to get done first Then that's just the way it is I think if you communicate transparently, um, that's the best thing we can do Um, I think the other thing is you also have the expectations from the investors to keep growing the business So obviously that's also puts puts uh put some stress um Also on on on the commercial side of the team But um, that's I think then then the route you choose and I think it's it's also interesting to say hey We actually We actually do have the ambition of I mean not having just one million downloads but like a hundred million downloads and uh, not in 20 years from now, but like in three to four years from now so this is obviously interesting and uh um, I think it's always been tough when it actually gets on You delivering this and um It's I think always a mix of having a great team Um of of having great support Of of doing of doing it the best way you can then I think you also need a little bit of luck To to be at the right time in the right place. So you you are in switzerland, right? Yeah Can you explain uh the the science behind why logitech is the best in like keyboards and mouse and stuff How is that possible that they have all these like and there is Uh, maybe I'm not an expert, but I it always feels like the logitech stuff is like it's great Like there's really good like research behind the the stuff and So maybe you can do the same thing but for uh for virtual keyboards Yeah, absolutely. I think what what logitech and it's and you can also look at another industry, which is like elevators Um, which is a bit different, but I I spent some time in there We're also like there's a swiss company, which is the second largest globally and they just have very high quality Um, I think the swiss Yeah, maybe this or or like watches. Um, it's maybe a third industry. So the swiss I think they are Or we are um renowned for just high high precision um technology and and with a keyboard it's so important because on average we have over um 2000 Um characters um per day um that we hit and that's an average and people that type a lot. It's maybe 10 000 um So there's many many many of these points and each of these points need to work 100 perfectly even after you've hit the same On a physical keyboard, even if you have to hit the same key 100 000 times It has to work exactly the same way And with a software product It's also like the the smartphone keyboard app gets opened 80 times per day If it crashes ones out of these 80, that's horrible That's like your keyboard crashes once a day. That shouldn't be the case So I think there also probably like quality and the whole architecture becomes super important Something that in another app if you open it once a week and it crashes every 80 times That's like one time per year that doesn't matter, but with a keyboard it does So maybe that's how we as a swiss company can bring those qualities forward Sometimes I think that uh, you know like smartphones are totally crazy amazing and they ship 4 billion of them or something like that But uh, often they're like the the perfect uh use of those smartphones are not yet realized because just some companies haven't come yet with The right killer apps and now you're trying to be one of those killer apps Yeah, I think I think what we've done so far I would I would say it's only the beginning. I mean the keyboard can do so much more than typing Because the keyboard is almost your your interface and it's always there across all the apps So you could also start thinking well The keyboard sometimes can anticipate maybe what I want to do and it could offer me shortcuts to to certain apps So if I'm in one app and I want to get an I need information from another app Maybe with instead of switching apps and go look for that information. Maybe the keyboard can be my Let's say my my centerpiece Where I can put those different things together So we have some ideas where we're in discussions with with potential partners on on how to make it like a hub Of of the user um device interaction Do you think something could be done in terms of combining the voice input? with quickly Most efficiently correcting the mistakes that are in a voice input Absolutely, and I wonder if there's something that should be thought of in terms of the keyboard aspect of that Yeah, I think this is um We're also we we kind of have to decide whether Boy like when is the right time to um to the tackle voice? Should we do it ourselves? Should we work with someone? But I absolutely agree. I think our auto correction Is very helpful. We've also seen for example with ocr scanning Our auto correction from the keyboard can reduce The mistakes from an ocr scanner by 50 percent So it's a very similar type of technology and the same you can use for voice And what's very interesting for voice if you say hey the keyboard knows how the user types And now my voice to text can also use that information. So for example certain names Um, if I say I'm charbox. I don't even know if I pronounced that correctly What is charbox that that that's not a typical word you would find in the dictionary So a voice to text. I don't know it like if your voice to text engine is able to spell it correctly I'm always like uh, people call me starbucks. Yeah Um, but then you could say hey because you wrote that two three times Um, and the the keyboard also knows Where in the sentence if you say hey, my name is charbox And you then wrote that a few times and then the keyboard can use that information for the voice to text Um, and where the voice to text engine fails the keyboard can supply that information Yeah, because uh, I really like the the voice input is like kind of impressive But the problem is there's always two three four five mistakes in the In the text and the problem is it it kind of like takes more time to find the errors And fix them But if there's some kind of way where I can speak them in but I can at the same time Kind of like fiddle with the mistakes And you know like some kind of thing like that then maybe I would use it more Hmm No, I could but you basically highlight you where the system is uncertain Um, you can maybe do some correction right away and where it's uncertain You can highlight and you can offer you even options and you can just select and maybe go through those five things And the message and I think one of the big uh Things is that every time you have to go click the Speaker button again and click the arrow to put it in the right place speaker button again But maybe you could kind of like constantly speak type speak type and it kind of like a flow. Okay.  We've worked together before but we had it was a services business So we had an online marketing agency Um as a site as a side gig But we know each other like since high school and my my own background is then in in in like management consulting so I have helped companies Like launch digital products and think about how to move from like offline to online and So that's also my role within within type wise But my co-founder Jen is he on like He was he was a data scientist So he dealt with a lot of data hence his uh his his capabilities with with ai And he also in his baritone. He actually built a couple of products. So he had once like a music recognition Like product he built that then categorized I think your songs into the right genres and said if it's electronic or hip-hop and so forth Um, so from a very early age, he he he he actually did that. Yeah, and that's how I think we also work together actually this kind of shazam stuff I was I was thinking how awesome that is that this tech tech can I guess there's a voice signatures and all these in a huge database somewhere that somehow Can be accessed that has all the I guess they also use it all the time on youtube For doing the content id and stuff Yeah, this is awesome tech What about privacy? I always think the keyboards apps are spying for the swiss government. I'm joking And that would not be a problem. I think our our secret service is not very sophisticated Yeah, no, I mean that's that that's for us the the big thing so the keyboard How the keyboard works is you have two components You have the app that you can open and then but that's only the app with the settings and and and our little on-boarding game And then you have the keyboard extension, which is available in all your other apps when you're typing And for type wise the keyboard extension Runs like it's completely sandboxed So there's no information leaving that keyboard extension So the type wise app has no access to whatever you've done in the keyboard extension And hence nothing like nothing is locked I mean it's locked within the keyboard itself so that you have to learning And the keyboard gets better, but even ourselves and no other third-party app is able to access the information On on apple the proof is that we don't require we don't even have the option to turn on full access Which is basically that trigger that then the system allows the keyboard to be accessed By by the app and we don't even have that option And for android the permissions work a bit differently, but also there the keyboard is completely sandboxed And and hence yeah, there is no keylogger activity going on sometimes I think people underestimate i mean i love google right google is awesome But people underestimate how much information they get from just a simple thing like the keyboard i'm sure they they They get trillions of data inputs on every user Just because they're kind of like Monitoring the keyboard or that's i mean they're officially doing that right or And they also monitor when people just use google maps and navigate and all that stuff They kind of they just optimize their ads i mean Hopefully they're not doing anything That's like totally evil But they're like just optimizing the ads right, but there's a lot of that stuff happening over there Yeah, so i mean google says they're they're using a technique called federated learning where they're not directly Transmitting your typing data, but they try to optimize the ai on your device already and then only send Those they call it learning increments across the internet Um, but still i mean google's business model is built around um, you know learning from the users and and optimizing their ads that's how they make money um and There is a third like there's a second category of keyboard apps and i think uh on on the screenshot you've shared They were on the very right side um No, we've actually taken them out because they were banned from from from google play So there were a couple of apps touchpal cheetah keyboard keega keyboard That acquired like hundreds of millions of downloads um, there were many of those were chinese made More are chinese made and then um it over different years They they were then uncovered to actually have done a bit more um more stuff So they worked with advertising networks. They sold user data Um to them what exactly they sold it's not it's not very clear But it's clear that they did and then they got kicked out from from google play But the crazy thing is they always come back. Yeah, they come back with a new app which says like, uh xx keyboard 2021 and they're back in in in google play and within a few weeks They have again 20 million downloads because they pour in money into that um there there's a keyboard they even defrauded clients they they they They did in-app purchases That the user didn't do and they defrauded their clients of at least 18 million us dollars And then they recovered to have done that and then they even did it more Until google kind of kicked them out and now they're back with a new app And so i feel most users are not aware these apps often have 4.5 store ratings Which they're probably also buying um So there is actually a a a quite big I would say number number of of keyboard apps that don't come from the very very big companies But somewhere in between and there I would be very careful as a user If if you value your privacy uh one thing i'm wondering is uh if uh Because these these actually these permission things that are introduced huge Versions of android ago. I don't know. Maybe it's already five six years ago, right that You you you can see exactly kind of like what each app is allowed to do and stuff But it'd be nice if you could just disable a bunch of stuff but still use the app, right? I don't know if that's even possible. I guess the app don't don't even install if you don't Accept the whole thing sometimes Well, apple is now with uh with ios 14.5. They're pushing that So that you can turn off Like the uh like average like advertising tracking So that obviously makes business models more more difficult We have such a feature is called the offline mode and with the offline mode you turn off any sort of Like between the app And and type wise so the keyboard is anyway separate, but the app itself we do um Like you also have internet access to like load the game and so forth And there we have this offline mode which you can switch on and then The keyboard just in not the keyboard, but the app just also gets a completely sandboxed Nice I'd like to see some uh some phones like the cosmo communicator that I have uh got over there And some other cool new phones that should have physical keyboards But there's always a mode that people want to use it You know like upright And and uh because a long time ago I always thought maybe it'd be great if people were typing one this way But it's just it's not a good idea right because it's taking too much screen is a real estate, right? But Maybe there should be combos of that and hopefully some some people make a great Physical keyboard phone that also has your keyboard for the upright mode because you still want to use it Let's upright as a bunch of a lot of maybe even more than Half of the time Okay, but that's that's a different story Yeah, I mean I used to I I had to use a blackberry uh from Like in in one of my previous jobs and I was very happy when I when we moved to the iphone. I think this is uh, I don't know I'm not a big fan of it of these type of keyboards Cool. So, uh, how many downloads so far? Hey, we uh It's it's on the website that we've passed 900,000. Um, so we're obviously looking for the big milestone soon So this is coming after this video. I'm sure No, absolutely another hundred thousand All right, and then on the 28th you will have some kind of announcement, right? Yeah, exactly all right Cool, that's that's awesome. Okay, so Thanks a lot. Thanks. Yeah, it was a pleasure. Um Thanks everybody for commenting and sending some cool questions And people can check it out On your just on the play store just go there on the I store what they call it an Apple store. Yeah, exactly. Yeah type wise you will find that Um, you can you can get it for free. Um, obviously you can try the premium It's also there's a trial and you can just try it out if it's for you And I'm always very happy to to hear any feedback you may have Sometimes it goes from one million downloads to 10 million pretty fast, huh? We'll see Yeah, it's uh, I there there are these, uh, I mean flexion points where I think I don't know if it's from one if it's one already or if it's after two three Or suddenly the community becomes big enough. Um, and your brand is has some has some more Yeah, there's just more word out there What's the price to buy the pro so you can For 10 euros per year or you can do a one time 25 euros All right Would it make sense to have some kind of thing where you give the pro feature to everybody But you have some kind of other way to make money or you've thought about that already, right? It's just very hard to combine it with privacy. I mean, then you have to work like with advertising networks or things like that Donations is that a wrong idea? Yeah Okay, maybe Yeah, it's uh I think with with software with apps where people are used to, you know, that the apps are free Like that's the thing People are used to that that that those are free. So if you just give it for free most people will just take it So unfortunately, I think we need to have for certain features like a paywall And I also feel it's the most honest thing we say hey These are free and then it's also free and these are paid and those you have to pay And you can try for free if you like it otherwise cancel Like you you cancel the subscription and you don't pay if you don't like it in a given time frame But then that's it and we don't say, ah, it's free but maybe you give up a bit of privacy and I think those for us is like a great territory and we like to keep this one black and white I love youtube premium where I just basically don't see any ads anymore And I wish google would have that on on the whole of google including the app store Some kind of monthly thing people would pay and then apps could include their pro features on that thing if they wanted And then you know, if people pay five or ten dollar per month, they could pretty much get maybe all apps Free kind of it's up to the developers if they want to be part of this But it would be kind of like the netflix model, right? And I think that would be cool if I don't know why google is not doing that yet They should just do something like that But that's and there's a question asking what about Huawei app gallery No, it's uh It's it's a good question. Um There are obviously requests for for that Again, if we look at the volume of of requests, um, it's it's maybe not the top priority There is the the thing is Huawei then requires the developers to use a different You know, like an interface Especially if you have in-app purchases that can quickly use up quite some developer resources and for a couple of weeks And we think we can add more value to the users by actually making the keyboard better First and google play and ios and concentrate on those And if we get once we have more resources, then we can expand geographically or also Into new stores Um, so this is the answer I have to give at this very moment because there's a famous 30 tax Is that I'm not gonna do anything controversial here But I guess it's anything that has to do with in-app purchase is going through that kind of platform, right? You can't just let people play on your website or something Yeah, um, it's not really loud. Yeah, that's the thing and get a 30 discount. You don't want to get on the lawsuit with epic Yeah Even they are trying but apple is just uh, they're hard Yeah, cool. All right. So thanks a lot. Thanks. Thanks again everybody for watching And let's see how it goes from 1 million to 10 million. Maybe this video can help Absolutely. Yeah. All right. Thanks a lot. Thank you


Welcome once again to the breakfast here on plus TV Africa and it's time for a little bit of history And we're back to the year 1967 to tell you about something that happened on this day Well, the death of two young women 19 year old girls who lost their lives on this day 1967 in a place called Montana's Glacier National Park. This is really I would say, you know Things that happen mostly outside Nigeria You would rather you would rarely ever get to see black people, you know in situations like this Mostly because black people don't go to a national park or you know that kind of reserve and camp You know and put themselves in You know, I don't know what those things are called where they you know get it under it and then zip it up those campaign You know tense exactly That's not, you know, very common for black people what on this day 1967 two of them Their names Julie Helgesson and Michelle Coons were both murdered by greasly bears the bears had attacked them, you know miles apart from each other while they were asleep in their tents and You know their injuries led to both of them losing their lives. It also of course led to the You know changing policies This is this is a something that had never happened in 57 years that the park had been in existence It also then led to the you know change in different policies To ensure that it never repeated itself, you know at that time there weren't Rules there were in certain signs and warning signs, you know in the park that you know told people Where to go and what to do and you know what times of the day did they you know, they were safe And so all these things had to eventually come into play You know after you know these attacks one of them, of course So according to reports was dragged about 400 feet from the original campsite Where she was mauled by the beer It also says at the park and yeah people in the park neglected certain signs at that time to protect people who visited the park Until these attacks And so of course it led to the life led to the you know death of Julie Helgesson and Michelle Coons on this day in 1967 This was a very sad story both of them 19 year olds both of them wins camping You know and it's unfortunate that you know even though they have been found alive, especially Coon She eventually died from her injuries Such a sad one. Yeah, that was all was eventually written about that the night of the Grizzlies. Yes Really sad, you know and once again, you know, it's it's really just white people stuff because you would barely ever see You know African-Americans or you know Nigerians putting themselves at that type of Because we're like life, you know, I think I think white people got to a place where you know A lot of the basic amenities and the things that they need for survival and to enjoy life are available, you know, they are there And so they start to look for They start to look for ways that they can enjoy themselves are sometimes a little bit risky There's certain things that you see white people doing like me You see certain videos online and you never see a black person try it out because no I don't Not been dead on that. It's just a No, that's not me, you know, but why people really have so much, you know privilege for just being, you know, what it's Life is so easy, you know, so they start to look for You know, if you are broad some people who can be very sensitive we see you'll be racist It's not it's not you realize that it is facts. It is simply facts You know, they they start to look for more ways to excite themselves, you know, because every other thing there's interesting But black people, you know, they wallow that we have to deal with every day is enough. So I saw I saw I saw this comic by Trevor Noah. He says talking about camping. He says When he went to the US his friend, you know, he comes from South Africa. He says his friends told him Oh, let's go camping and he said what's that? Oh, we'll go to the bush. We won't have access to water Electricity. He's like, well, that's my reality back home.  No, no, not going camping now going out, you know, out of space, you know to the border, you know space and all of that You know a lot of black people like nah, you know, we're good here, especially I mean the cost Thousands of dollars the cost is inclusive, you know, bungee jumping. Yeah, you might see some black people doing that You might see some people like we were skydiving, but there's some really really crazy things that I see What activities do you think we're like here? Apart from partying We don't have the resources to enjoy on that level. So we don't have resources to enjoy? No, we don't. You don't have the resources to Enjoy tourism on that level. I feel hurt. That's why, you know, that's why, you know There's funny enough if you go to South Africa, which I've never been but you will see There's things called shark cages where, you know, you get into a cage. It is, you know, I wish you're the best and you go deep into the water into the water where there's sharks swimming around Well, the very best. Just to enjoy, you know, the scenario. Say hello to them for me Let's talk about the first woman Marine in United States history 1918 her name is Offa Mae. She was 40 years old and she achieved this feat two years before women even had the right to vote So it's a pretty straightforward story a woman in history who, you know Had the remarkable feat of going ahead to enlist as a US Marine The good thing is that she joined the Marine Corps Reserve on the 13th of August 1918 She was the first of over 300 women to enlist in the Marine Corps Reserve and that's during the First World War Jackson's first duties was as a, you know, clerk at the headquartered Marine Corps She managed records of other female reservists who joined after she did at the end of the First World War Unfortunately, like all other services You know, they began to a process of disenrollment But history will forever remain, remember the name of Offa Mae Johnson as the first Female Marine Corps in the United States All right, and of course over time that has changed is a lot of more females who joined the Marine Corps and you know Go to war even and they celebrate her to you know every now and then so She's a pay setter and thanks for her service. I guess Let's take a break here and we'll return to discuss the cost of the ban on Twitter in Nigeria It's going on for about two months now The federal government says that's ban would be lifted soon But just how much have the Nigerian government have the Nigerian people especially and Nigerian business lost in that time Stay with us


so please be aware guys that this is a really early build of the game and what you will witness may not reflect the full game on release so guys i am back with another first descendant video and today i'm going to showcase you guys my end game build and what end game basically is how's it going guys my name is dpg and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe okay so the first descendant the newest in a whole heap of loot shooters open beta comes october 20th i have had early access thanks to nexon i appreciate it but either way guys there's a lot to do in this beta there's a lot of building to be made to your character i mean there's 10 characters you can select from as well level them up to a level 40 once you get to a level 40 guys well even earlier than this you can take part in the end game activities this game or the beta offers now there's not that going to be way more in the full game but this is what we have so sonica and the end game are these here they called void intercept battles now you'll see a bit of gameplay on these in a second let me tell you they are brutal they are brutal but what i'm doing is guys my build is what we're seeing right here on the screen now i have gone with the essa who is actually the first descendant i used and no pun intended i used her because i like the trailer for freezing shit and just what looked like a gold shell in the hand but it ain't it's just like a metal snowball but i used her at first i leveled up to about a level 25 26 and i kind of got a bit bored i wanted to try out the characters as you do but then i used a booted a boosted account so which next time gave me and i tried out every other character which is some amazing characters here probably the most important one is jaber which i'll do another video on but there's a variety of different play styles here guys a variety of them i just found myself going back to the essa i really did and my most success i've had in these void intercept battles is with this character now it's probably easier for me because i used the most i mean if i spent this much time on any of the other character i'll probably get a better feeling of them but for me i'm just doing great now with the essa so yes okay so weapons i am using i am using uh well i'm a sort rifle the uh khaligo's horn which is just amazing hand cannons we are going with well hand cannons just probably my favorite weapon in the game uh the assassin's blade this thing hits like a truck now there's hand cannons and hand guns they are vastly different hand cannons are way better in my opinion and they just do more damage they're literally like a sniper guys and then as you know we're using a shotgun now in regards to the sensor the gyro the memories and the koyo um i'm not sure about the full game but in the beta it's basically just one or the other and you can get obviously tier two's you can get tier three as well but i haven't had any tier three of these i have had tier threes of runes but none of the any of these equipments or any weapons uh tier one is rare tier two is a obviously epic purple and tier three will be that legendary variant again i've had no legendaries in regards to weapons but i'm pretty sure they're holding back for the full game but yeah in regards to these guys they're basically just higher versions of the same thing you can get in this in the beta i'm not sure you can get other things which do other things here don't think you can but one does hp how well actually two do healthy health points we've got the gyro and the koyo we have a sensor which is your shield and have the memory which is your defense now they'll fought you on all because i got a boosted count like i said so everything's a little 40 uh runes okay so runes uh you probably know i've posted a ton of videos about runes and how they work but as you can see here they all do individual things for said weapons i'm using which uh represented by this rune my auto rifle is on my assault rifle is as you can see my you see where the line goes to so this is effective stormy affects my assault the wave affects my hang cannon and the haze affects my shotgun and we also have descendant runes which will go to in a second but on my storm runes which affect my assault rifle i am using this on enemy kill fireway is uh plus 1.5 for 10 seconds this effect can stack three times pretty cool we have uh an enemy kill attack is a plus 40 for 10 seconds this is this effect so stack three times this is probably my favorite perk or mud or ruin or whatever you want to call him on enemy kill it defends the plus 145 percent for three seconds a very very important guys because you'll see gameplay in a second those void intercepts our boot we have uh quick tempered my magazine is empty reload speed is a minus 10 percent with a nine second cooldown which is good we have uh i wish i wish there's more i know there's going to be more in the full game but we need more reload doings man the reload hint just seems so slow considering how enemies attack you in this game the the pot there's so many ads as well that attack yeah it's brutal at the same time as well you just get rushed we have um aim expert an enemy kill crosshair size is a plus three for three seconds which can overlap up to two times this is good if you don't aim down sights which i like and we have uh this one here to be honest i'm not going to lie i didn't think it was going to be that good but it really really is the aiming down sight while you're running this thing is great it's wicked for weapons like the assault rifle which if your target is like a distance away from me i mean if you're close range you can just spray them from the hip which is why i like this but if you're at a distance which with some raid bosses you will be at a distance because you ain't getting in front of them um this is great you can dodge attacks while aiming down sights so it's pretty cool i got a spare slap but i haven't got enough room capacity to put something in there because obviously the room capacity the numbers they certainly will take it up you know what i've covered out numerous times okay so i'm a hand cannon i mean they're quite basic i'm a hand cannon i'm not going to lie you haven't got much which really affects the hand cannon itself but more weapons which you switched to like this one here chamberlode unweapon change rounds and not consumed for five seconds now i think this is when you swap to it but i'm not saying it could be for when you swap away from it and let's try that out but either way my hand cannon is probably my hand the most so yes we have uh on weak point hit target knock down chances 5.5 percent and i see this a lot you know even against the raid bosses you see this a lot i mean they're only staggered for about a good five seconds if that but it's still a lot we have this one on here on weak point hit critical hit chance is a plus 46 percent critical hit damage is a plus 37 percent cool down of 21 seconds great as well if you've got a good aiming like me not really and this one here again unweapon change recoil is a uh minus eight percent for two seconds and then we have for my shotgun we have a firing expert on nmquill shotgun passive is a plus 15 percent for three seconds that's really good can overlap two times as well we have a defense expert on nmquill defense is a plus 100 percent for three seconds effect can overlap three times we have ascended roll unroll also reloads weapon in use by a 12.6 percent chance pretty good and then we have the chamber load unweapon change uh rounds not consumed for five seconds i mean it's not great for shotgun because when you switch to it i mean it's quite slow so you're probably only going to get an extra two or three shots from this but it's a lot in regards to a shotgun this game because they can pack a punch they really can and that's basically my weapons and what i use now you obviously play styles you'll be using different weapons for me this is what i got best i'm with now as in regards to my descendant ruins here i had to go with their elemental immunity i just thought this was so important i mean it's so so important uh we've got burn poison ice and electrocution and then we have here uh veterans tactics and nmquill 11.2 percent chance to reset skill with a lung is cooled down now you don't understand how it actually works as well this actually comes into effect way more often than i thought it would do but it's just great because i know although this is what i've been using on raid buses a lot of these raid buses i have been fighting against i do spawn in quite a few ads at the same time so i can obviously get the kill and it add uh use your use your ability on the bus kill another ad or a couple of ads hopefully get a cooldown use your ability on the bus again so yeah it's a good actually all round uh runuses not just raid buses but i love it we then have this one right here running speed is a plus uh 5.6 percent damage you mean when using grappling hook now grappling hook is underused but i mean that's i'd probably say about a second you get i have a mean to if you're trying to escape damage escape danger trust me it helps an absolute ton it really does and that's why it's there and we also have guys mana collector and enemy kill 10 percent chance to recover 10 percent of max mana immediately cooldown is five seconds again if you spam out those abilities unads this is great we also have this one right here to be honest this is just something to show on him because it reminds me of wolverine but you can use any of these it ain't as effective as you may think it may be more effective in a full game but i mean it's probably about as effective as one hang cannon shot it really is guys it really is and then guys you can see on screen me actually just destroying uh to be honest i say destroying you can only do these really they're made for four months they are made for four months but we got up to this one right here grave walker we call him the crab this dude's a pain in the ass this dude is a pain in the ass and these are hard these are really hard it's not even a joke it's stunning beauty here as well hits like a choke you think it's because at level one it's it's not going to be that bad they're bad we attempted this in a free man me my pal and a youtube called shruds absolutely battle us not in the fact that we couldn't kill the boss it's the fact that there's a time limit as well again things can change but you know then we have this one right here the power of maniac who would just absolutely buy and these guys these are normal these are normal but these are what this game's raids will be these are the end game these are buses give you the best salute and like i said you're seeing gameplay on the screen now they are absolutely unreal now we also have avoid in set battle hard we have them these are level 55s these are level 55s max level is a 40 these are going to take some beating with a death count max of three as well if you go down if you die three times you're done you are done so yeah guys absolutely insane now you're seeing like i said you're seeing gameplay footage on the screen now and this is me fighting what we're calling the crab i'm just using my my instincts to be honest i mean i've done a lot of these kind of battles in destiny with nightfall strike buses and although they're much much bigger than a lot of buses in what we saw in like outriders and outfirm and games like that basically they once you get it down guys you know exactly what you are doing but yeah guys i ain't gonna bore you with any more talking um or i ain't gonna leave the video running for gameplay i've actually got uh more gameplay of these raid battles on my channel if you do want to check them out you'll find them right there but there we have it guys these games uh well what we're going to call end game raids avoid in set battles and my build what i've used within these actual these these these activities guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out you feel like what you see i want to see more be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys i will see you on that next one


So I believe we both have ridden Yukon Stryker at this point. Yes. And the Coaster Project is finally complete. And what do you honestly think about Yukon Stryker? Well, I'm biased, obviously. And I can't help but feel, you know, invested in this thing. Because, as you know, you know, you watch this thing just be built up from nothing, you know, over, it's taken, like, over a year now from the start of the tunnel to seeing this massive thing and hearing people screaming on it. I keep telling people it's music to my ears to hear people screaming down that drop. So I love it. And it's going to probably be my favorite drive for a very long time. Awesome. So it looks like you guys themed it, like, in a way that no one was expecting. Oh, really? Yeah. Like, this is really over the top. I compare it to, like, something like Dollywood. So what was part of that planning in terms of spending that extra big chunk of money on all that beaming? Right. Well, this is also the launch of Frontier Canada, as you know. And so it wasn't going to be enough for us to just pop up a sign that says Frontier Canada and here you go, right? So we have these new restaurant venues coming. We have the new merch building coming. And obviously the station itself. We really wanted to bring people back to, like, the 1890s. That condi-cooled rush era. And just give the entire area here. And it stretches all the way over to any trainer. Just give all that a feel. And in terms of beaming, you see Cedar Fair going back to the basics of Canada. It's wonderful. Is that going to continue to move forward, or is that just a 2019 thing? No, this is just the beginning. We really want to get back to our roots in terms of what that original beaming was. So as you know, Frontier Canada was one of the first five original sections that was supposed to happen in 1981. And it did. It got shelved. So we're bringing that back now. We've brought back the Grand Ville d'Expo 1890. And in Medieval Fair, we also have a five in Medieval Fair. Some of the names are going to refer you back to the original. So Wildbeast has a teabag on there. Dragonfire with the Y. Canterbury Theater, which was Wonderland Theater. And even like, you know, the Thrillburger venue there is now going to be King's Feast. So we're slowly changing the clock back. And I think it's safe to say that this is just the beginning. Super exciting. Is there anything else you can tell us that we haven't been able to see in Frontier Canada yet? Yeah. Well, for Frontier Canada, it's going to be the, you know, the Miner's Cafe, who's going to be the mess hall, which is going to be Chinese cuisine. Old Rush Junction, which will be like beverages and funnel cakes, which you can probably expect will have some kind of Klondike twists to them. What am I missing? Chuck Wagon. Chuck Wagon. Yeah. And I think that's all that's planned for this year. But like I said, this is just the beginning for Frontier Canada. So there's Mordeca. Mordeca? Interesting. So it's not the end of amusement insiders. Yeah, that's right. Favorite, what's your favorite seat to ride? My favorite seat so far is Def the Front Row. How about you? You know what? It's a toss-up. Because that front row, you can't beat that. That is where you'll just be hanging over that summit and having nothing between you and like that tunnel, but just open air in your strength. But I have to give credit to the back row, probably left side, because, you know, you get the acceleration forces and the gravity forces working together and against each other to get that sense of weightlessness. That's the left side, I think, is the one that gets the outside of all of the inversions. So you get that extra kick. I don't know. You just got to try all the seats. Yeah, exactly. So it's a tie for me. And then in terms of Seater Fair, looking at Seater Fair is funneling a ton of money into Canada's Wonderland lately. Is there any specific reason that we see Canada's Wonderland getting all these massive investments year after year?


This is the talk we've all been waiting for, and we have two speakers of twice the fun Budwin from the Krita Hall of Fame, and Sebas, who's been a long time Plasma contributor and has been in many academies telling us all about his exciting adventures and if any of you guys like scuba diving, you should talk to him because he's pretty good at that, aren't he? And hello, who'd like to do it? Hi, so, welcome to this talk, we've called it a racing mobile, it's been a really exciting project for both of us, a bit more building for the past 6-7 months. So, what's up with that? What have we been trying to do? We've been trying to bring Plasma to mobile phones, and we've just seen it. Now, why are we doing this, and why was I so excited that I wanted to work with this? The reason is that the existing mobile phone systems are way too close. It's just like we've heard in Kino today, you've got to listen to it in your pocket, and you can't really do anything with it except what manufacturer allows you to do with it. So, what we've been trying to do is break out of the walled gardens. We've been trying to make sure that we can build a system that respects the crisis. We've been trying to build a system that allows you to inspect and modify for all the stores. And we've succeeded. Alright, can everybody hear me? So, we've been working on mobile topics in the Plasma team since 2009. Maybe some of you remember the Nokia N900, and that was the first device we were running, or we've been building a Plasma UI for. That was a really early thing, so we just tried to get something running on the device. Also, it didn't go very far, and KDs and especially Plasma's ambitions really started to soar when Nokia took over Qt, and it was a period where many things happened. Not a lot of results from that, but it was certainly a good learning period, and it got Qt to the point where it would be very useful on mobile devices. When Nokia, let's say, vanished, we started the Plasma Active project, and its goal was to release a tablet with a novel UI. Well, that unfortunately didn't work out so well for various reasons, but again, we learned a lot about the mobile space. That is to say, outside of Plasma, there's actually really big successes for KDE. First of all, WebKit runs on 90 plus percent of all mobile devices today, and that came from KDE. The Kaligra office suite runs on a shipped product today. That is the Jolla phone, and it's in the hands of users today. Of course, we have various frameworks which are becoming more and more successful, and some of them are also used on mobile devices. So, what's our vision? What did we really want to achieve? Freedom is the most important thing, but it's not just freedom. We also want to reach a point where everyone can use Plasma Mobile on the phone to run their lives, just like we're using Android these days, to run their lives. We want to achieve a product, something that is finished and polished. We want to achieve something that is really, really secure and safe, and has texture products. At the same time, computers are for tinkering, computers are for tweaking. We want to make sure that this, what we are working on, is customizable, not just by us, not just by you, but by everyone who wants to join. Alright, so let's get right to the beef instead of all talks. Let's look at what we have created so far, after that we will get you some more information about how we've been doing this stuff. So, smartphones, this is an LG Nexus 5 running a customized Plasma shell, so it's the exact same stack as we're using on the desktop, but you see it looks quite differently. You can just install this with some parts hardware right today. So in case you want to give me a call, I know not much demo effect there, but this has actually a working phone connection, so you can make and receive phone calls with that. Some of the stuff you see, no in principle, but they have gotten a mobile UI. These are the exact same notifications. So if an app fires a notification through the framework's notification API, it will just work here. We'll get a different presentation because it runs on a different form factor, but no changes in the apps for this kind of functionality. Then we have the Plasma shell, the launcher. It's still a fairly basic thing, but you can already change its look and feel. You can personalize it to a certain degree. As you might have guessed, it supports Plasmoids, of course. Again, here's a different mechanism customized for the form factor. It gives a different user interface for adding a widget. Of course, we had to do a clock. The point really is that the work you've been putting into your Plasma can be transferred almost one-to-one to the new form factor. In some cases, if you're making too many assumptions about mouse and mouseovers and that kind of stuff, you'll have to change some codes. So is this cool or is this not cool? You included K-Runner and that's just a few steps. I really think this is the first time that there's a mobile system that shares so much code with the desktop system. And many of the things here you will actually recognize from the desktop UI. That means two things. They work on a mobile device, so all the APIs and everything is available. They do it just to a certain level, two different input methods. But it also means we haven't changed a lot and really optimized them for the device. We haven't been working for a very long time on this, but we got kind of a really good kickstart because there was already so much functionality that we could just take on the network management widget that took a few years to implement. Well, and we can tap into that work. Of course, a big part of Plasma is the ability to be able to customize it to make it really yours. We just showed some things here. I've seen the video a couple of times already, but I'm still impressed with what it's actually managed to achieve. What we see here is a settings application which reuses KCMs written in QML. So you write a KCM once, and if it's got a responsive layout, you can just install it on the phone and it'll work. And some of the modules we will actually recognize. So again, we've got a kickstart. This is the energy module which is especially interesting on our mobile device. So you get really detailed information. Coco, some of you might know about the application. It's a new image viewer and gallery developed entirely in QML. And again here, only a slight layer changes to make it suitable for a smartphone device, otherwise completely the same code base. You start the same application just on a different device and it adapts itself. Performance is really surprisingly good because this is all hardware-accelerated stuff. This goes through Wayland, OpenGL, and we can make use of a very powerful hardware in the phone. We did also borrow a whole bunch of apps. This is, for example, the web browser which is also used on Ubuntu Touch. It works. It's another one from the Ubuntu Touch project, a weather application. It's one of the things that we feel is really important. This is a system where every application is welcome. So of course, Ubuntu apps run. They are really cute in QML. Yeah, this is not using Mirror. This is using Wayland. We also included some time-wasting applications. This is not my real score. Normally I score in the 900 or 1000 points range. So this is the hardware you get from this model. That's what I mean. So we decided that this project has a Blue Systems internal project because we didn't want to put out vaporware. We wanted to get it to a point where we could say, we can technically make this work and we wanted to get it to a point where it's actually useful for other people to join in. We don't want to get questions. This is really cool. How can I get my stuff running on it? Maybe wait a few months. We're still sorting out some deployment issues. No, you can test your stuff today. If you have an LG Nexus 5, you can just install and run it on it. We also have ExoPC images and x86 packages so you can test this stuff on your laptop and we can help with deployment and testing on the phone. That said, it was an internal project, but last week I've moved all the code that is actually special to the phone onto KDE infrastructure. We put this on KDE infrastructure. We put this under KDE governance.  We also don't want this to look like, well, let's hack this up in a garage in between dives. We want this to be a commercial, high quality product. This has to become a viable system that people want to trust and not something that's a really hobby. That is to say, if your hobby is hacking on software, this is an awesome target because it's all open. Also, we feel that we as a free software community especially KDE, we have the mandate to create software that respects and enables your privacy. A lot of I said earlier that you're pretty much caught in this, do I want features and shiny? Yeah, I have to trade in some of my privacy for that. Please don't. We want to offer an alternative that respects your privacy and that allows you to do with your data what you want independent of the features. Also, this thing is built around Qt because we love Qt, because we think Qt is the best solution to build applications for mobile devices and it also really ties in with Qt runs everywhere and everything should be running on this phone. So, the milestones. We've reached milestone one. We have products that people can install and developers can work on. That's already a new step. It works. The video you saw was most faked. That was what you can do with your next slide today. Next step, dogfruity. Actually, you can already use it day-to-day for technical and advanced users. That's something that we will be developing in the coming months. Then, production ready for a really wide audience a truly useful and competitive product. I have to say that this is really a mission goal and a really mission step to it because what you've done is something next year. With that said, there's a lot of work ahead of us to summarize where we stand now. This is not something you put in the hands of your girlfriend if you're interested in a long-term relationship. Don't do that. Don't give it to your mother. You should not be happy with it. You can try it though. You can have fun with it. You can help us to make it good enough for yourselves because we need to make something good enough for ourselves before we can make it good enough for others. It's already really a lot of fun to play with. It stretches what we can do with KDE and it also stretches the scope of KDE. It can really help us to get a new sense of relevance in the KDE project. So what does it do? It runs a kernel. It boots a shell, a plasma shell. This is the same binary that runs the desktop. There's no patching, no code changes. It just loads a different UI suitable for the phone. It has a dialer. It can make and receive phone calls. Some strange people still actually expect that from smartphones. I don't know. We're also using software that we didn't do ourselves with really tapping into other people's resources. We want this to be a project where things come together rather than where we're saying, yeah, but this was not invented here, so we're not doing it. One really good example is the Malit virtual keyboard, which is a very mature thing, shipping on real products in the market today. You can briefly see it in the movie. It actually got a nice plasma skin, so it integrates visually very well, and it's not something we cobble together just in one of Marco's sleepless nights or something like that. We also want to bring in existing functionality, so all the good stuff from the desktop is transferred to the phone. It really gives us a head start in terms of features. You can really console it, so you've got your terminal. What else do you need? Yes. It runs various applications, so we showed some applications in the demo video, but some people do not take mobile phone platforms seriously before they have passed. We have 100,000 applications running on this. Any applications either in the Kubuntu repositories must be more than 100,000. We're good. We can run those. We have support for X applications, so we run Wayland with X Wayland. You can start applications that haven't been ported to Wayland yet through the X Wayland stack. Of course, it's a Kubuntu system. There's Debian underneath. You can run Debian software on it. We also went a little bit further and implemented support for click applications. Those are the packaged applications for Ubuntu Touch, the weather applet. The weather application I was showing earlier is an example for that. That probably gets us in a range of 100,000. One thing we are going to definitely cross this magic boundary with this support for Android applications. We are working on that right now and we expect that within a few weeks, months, depending on when we get some technical things sorted out, you can run Android applications on this. That means that you can give it at some point to your girlfriend and she asks, can I send you what's that message with it? You can just run what's that Android application and it will work. The Android bit is quite exciting because this is going to be a completely open stack. YOLA's selfish folks also support Android apps, but they use closed source components for that and this will be open, everything will be open. Yes, so you will be able to run Android applications not only on the Plasma phone, but also on the Plasma desktop and that's one of the really, really important things for us because we're not saying the desktop is done now, we're doing something funny new, but we're adding the mobile platform and UI to the Plasma offerings. We are continuing to improve the desktop. We also want to make a dent in the mobile space and conquer these devices. So technically the interest you get is we started out building a Plasma phone, in the top of Mer. Mer is basically the old source base for service from it's market-based system, it uses Wayland and we were using Queen Island and keep it in Plasma. Then we decided because this is a new system project we are going to move to Kumuntu as a base and use Kumuntu phone. That proved to be really challenging, it was really challenging to get a cute label to up and running the top of the boom from where we access the stack because all these three open and open phone systems they are all based in Android and somehow you mix a real-life and an Android together in one way or another using the language called the Pirates. So we were really struggling to get this to work to get even a single image rendering on screen until Martin Hasley said, well, how hard can it be to actually use Queen in here? And that's when that moment the project really started to fly. Ported Queen to the phone, started writing a back-end after talking in Pirates and we were actually getting graphics. So one of the most exciting things for me and all these systemers is that we now have a phone system that runs quickly and where it will talk to Kumuntu from. All right, so let's see. What are we going to do and why can we make a difference? Because some people will say yes, there's mobile phones and those are free enough. In our opinion, they are not free enough. You have to trade in your privacy and even worse, sell your soul to mobile vendors. That's the reason for us and that's the reason for hardware vendors. And let me tell you, they are not happy with being under the thumb of Google and getting source code thrown over the wall every once in a while. We have an active development community who produces software for end users. We have an awesome infrastructure with our participants deeply caring to make us productive. We have a governance model that is actually very suitable for creating software and we have proven that in 20 years of being a successful and reliable maker of mainly desktop software. We have open and proven development processes. We know how we work together effectively. We know how to get things fixed. We know how we can create processes that improve the quality and that get our software out to the users. We don't have to reinvent the wheel in all these supporting factors so we can really concentrate on making good software and doing so even in a fairly short amount of time. And most importantly probably we have a proven track record of being open and respecting freedom if we put out something like that we haven't benefited an advantage in trust already. If we talk about privacy we can do so with a straight face. If Google talks about privacy not so much. So with that said Blue Systems is working on this but we don't want it to be a corporate control project. Also we want to involve the wider community because it's fun and it's going to be rewarding and it's also a very important project to work on. Both for Katie as a community but also for the users who are right now not really having options if they need the privacy. And it's not just end users at home. If we want journalists to be able to communicate in a secure manner to discover things and not have them be discovered by governance and in this chasing game if we want to enable the Snowden and Apple bombs of this world we need this kind of platform. We need you to help us create this kind of platform. And with that I think we are coming to the questions part of this presentation. In our best Spanish. How do you make sure that an application can just track you everywhere with GPS for instance and things like that? A lot of that depends on the application but we also have to admit we are in a very, very early phase of this project so we have no good answer to that. Like for many other technical issues as we said we have a lot of technical issues as we said this is not ready for end users yet and sandboxing of applications is one of the topics we need to work on. It will also depend a lot on the application on the type. I'll wait for that. Okay. Okay. So let me write sandboxes on the application because that's built into the system. What we've got here is Linux. It is Linux. So you could try to use as many as you can to do the sandboxing or you could try to develop a new model but it won't be exactly like this in this basic unit system. Do you know where I showed Plasma Attachable while at the end you showed Plasma Dot Multilabor? Which unit? The edge. Which one is the dot? Is the... Is working on... working to other common devices except for the XS5? No. But a very good and important point. Two things we haven't mentioned. What we are presenting here is a reference platform based on Kubuntu. This is not a Kubuntu-only project. We want other distributions to create a Plasma mobile platform as well. If you want to get this to run on a phone running Fedora, we are going to help you. We don't want to create one single distribution. I think we want to create a platform that you can run on your mobile devices on the US. On the US you want it to run on and we will help you to get that running. I have two questions. I am from Taiwan and I remember a few years ago maybe 2011 or 2012 there was a demo of the KDTel in the Coscom. Coscom is the biggest of those companies in Taiwan. There was a demo of the KDTel that actually was interesting. That year, KDTel could know both demo and tel. But KDTel is more complete. But in Taiwan we have I don't know if it is a production but in Taiwan we have no any further problems about that. I don't know if it should be succeed or not. If not, how do we see your work Plasma will now succeed? That's my first question. And the second question is similar. Compared to now we have besides enjoying the iOS with a 5.0 OS who want to touch what do you see your advantage on the 5.0 OS even enjoy the iOS 2? Alright. So first of all this has actually taken a lot of the code which was also making up the Vivaldi tablet. This code has been ported to the framework slide. This is not running X11 anymore this is running Wayland so the software stack is much, much leaner and much, much better. Then another important difference to the Plasma Active and Vivaldi projects is that we have decent hardware it runs on today. The Plasma Active project was hampered by we couldn't get it to run on a real ARM device so you usually had to log in but the phone said I carried a lot less luggage to this academy than to earlier academies. That makes a big difference. And what is why don't we just say this we want to touch already and we'll find that well I think the past weeks have shown pretty well that we want to touch is not exactly a free and unencumbered platform it's corporate controlled and there are many questions around trade which may end up making it not a much better option than Android for many hardware vendors. So we do have something to bring to the table. Also if you compare how long it took Canonical to get something running on the phone and what kind of resources they put in and how long it took us but even to get even a prototype running let's interpolate from this and let's meet again at academy 2016 and see why we stand. We have time for one more question. Sure. I've got two questions. The first one is hopefully very simple. So you said that you're still depending on the purpose. So I guess the drivers are still preparatory. Can this change a little bit as if it would just can it? Yes, absolutely. So that's this diagram which let me not pull it up right now. It's to save some time for So Quinn uses this device to get the graphics on screen. But it's Quinn. It has a backend for DRM so it can use any other drivers and send code based actually also runs on my tablet. So we've hidden this difference neatly away. Yes, we don't have a free graphics driver for our reference device. Yes, we want to. Good. That's excellent. The second question is this reminds me very much of the Gemini project and some feature that I've seen in Plasmoid since very, very early 4.0 which was that you can share Plasmoids across that work. So is there any is there going to be in one of those systems which everybody is trying to do where you have it but as soon as you come on your large screen and a keyboard it suddenly turns or a projector it suddenly turns into a proper desktop or will it be able to read the mind of my laptop and show me the relevant Plasmoids for example in the calendar? It may be able to read your mind that probably won't send this data to random services but yes the use cases you are talking about we haven't worked on them so far we've been concentrating on getting the basics to work we definitely want to turn this into a device that depending on the use case you run it on but probably for the Plasmoid case much more important is you usually start something on a device and the device doesn't change so it's not critical right now to have it morph into something different but if you plug something in with the Plasmoid architecture this has been planned from day one so yes it's fairly easy to support these kind of use cases Thank you Are you already going to find the states? That's all the time you have They can be around in the academy so you can find them


In this video, you will learn about structural isomers of the alkanes, what structural isomers are and be able to do examples of isomers. Here are the formulae of the first four alkanes, methane, ethane, propane and butane. And here are the structural formulae of the first three. Pause the video and draw out the structural formula for butane. I expect most of you have drawn a straight chain molecule like this. However, there is another way of arranging the atoms. It has the same molecular formula, but a different structural formula. These two forms of the molecule C4H10 are called structural isomers. The longest chain in this molecule is three carbon atoms long. So we say it is a form of propane with a methyl group sticking to the second or middle carbon atom. So its name becomes two methyl propane. Do not be confused, it is still an isomer of butane because of the four carbon atoms. To make it easier to draw the structural formulae, we often omit hydrogen atoms and just show the bonds connecting the carbon atoms, bending the chain so you can see where the carbon atoms are. Before we try to find more isomers, here is the story of lead-free petrol. Petrol for cars is mostly octane, C8H18. In the 1920s, when petrol started to be used for cars, the petrol-air mix in the cylinders used to explode too quickly before the spark, causing the engine to knock or jolt. If an isomer of octane was used, the petrol burnt more smoothly. Look carefully, there are eight carbon atoms, so it is a structural isomer of octane. But what is its formal name? Pause and count the atoms in the longest chain. Whichever way you count, the longest chain is five carbon atoms long, so the name will be pentane. And off the third atom in the chain, there is an ethyl group and also a methyl group, so its name will be, pause and think, three, three, methyl, ethyl, pentane. But this compound is not normally found in crude oil and is very expensive. In 1923, scientists discovered a compound of lead with almost the same structure and did the job perfectly, lead tetraethyl or tetraethyl lead. You might remember that lead is in group four of the periodic table along with carbon. The lead addition helped the petrol to burn smoothly, but the lead atoms combine with oxygen, forming lead oxide. This comes out of the exhaust pipe as a fine dust and is very toxic. It has taken us until this 21st century to get rid of all the lead in petrol globally. But for 80 years, lead from car exhausts has been carried around the world and is even found in the ice in Antarctica. So let's finish with a simpler example. Can you find the other four isomers of hexane C6H14 and give them their formal names? I'll give you a hint. There are two based on pentane and two based on butane. Pause whilst you try to draw them out. Here are the hexane isomers with five carbon chain. So they are named pentane, two methyl pentane, two because the methyl group is on the second carbon atom in the pentane chain. On the atoms, six carbons, 14 hydrogens, it's still hexane. And here's the other isomer based on pentane, three methyl pentane. And there are two more structural isomers based on butane with only four carbon atoms in the longest chain, two three dimethyl butane and two two dimethyl butane. So from this video, you should know that structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangement. And that naming is based on the length of the longest carbon chain and on where the groups come off this chain.


Hey there friends thanks for checking in and Unsung Hero is one who does great deeds but receives little to no recognition for them and that's how I feel about these five handguns. I think they're all very well made quality built well functioning handguns but they just don't get the recognition that I feel they deserve in the gun world. So let's go through them one at a time and you can check them out. Let's start with the Rex Delta imported by the FIME group. The gun world fell in love with the Rex 01 but the delta hasn't caught that same amount of steam but it has with me. I love it. It has 15 round magazines also comes with a 17 round magazine, ambidextrous controls, additional back straps, a striker fire indicator and a trigger that I'm measuring right at six and a quarter pounds but check out that reset. Right there also has a loaded chamber bar but what I think is super cool is the disassemble. Just pull that back a little bit and let's take down tabs and off comes the slide from the frame.  It's two ounces lighter than the Glock 19 weighing in at 29 ounces loaded with 15 rounds. Great ergos to it. I love the Rex Delta and for the life of me I don't know why this is an unsung hero. This should be a popular gun in the United States. Next is Grand Powers first striker fire handgun called the Q100. It models many of the positive features that the X caliber has except in a striker fire format. A couple years ago I made a video called the gun world's most unappreciated gun and I spoke about the Q100 and I still feel that way today ambidextrous controls with a 4.3 inch barrel that is a rotating barrel 15 round magazines a rail a striker fire indicator and a trigger that I'm measuring right at four pounds four pounds very lightweight trigger a soft shooting gun ergonomically pleasing at the range it performs outstanding I really enjoy it I always have since the day I got it I'm a huge fan of grand power handguns I thought they did a great job with the Q100 they later came out with the Q1S but my flavor is right here with the 4.3 inch barrel and I think that it really is an unsung hero last year Stoker released this new 9 millimeter handgun called the str9 you can pick this up for 300 bucks and I think that's a steal it embodies many of the same qualities that higher priced handguns have without the high cost check this out 15 round magazines 3 dot steel sights with adjustable rear sight 4.1 inch barrel deep cut serrations in the front and the rear a pick rail on the dust cover finger grooves that are not intrusive and a trigger that I am measuring at six and a quarter pounds and that's what we're looking at right there the loaded weight is 33 ounces and at the range it performs very nice you know exactly as I hoped for something that would feel like a $500 gun but without that kind of price tag the Stoker str9 is a fine handgun for the money it's definitely an unsung hero I've said it before and I'll say it again the Diamondback AM2 does not get the recognition it deserves it's a subcompact 9 millimeter handgun with a three and a half inch barrel and an MSRP of $340 people were picking this up for $250 I think that's a steal 12 round magazine here they also offer a 17 round magazine gritty texturing on the grip has a nice feel to it black nitride finish on top of the slide that also scales down into the serrations front and rear serrations witness hole striker fire indicator pick rail on the dust cover and a trigger that I am measuring right around six and three quarters seven pounds I think people are three dot sights that are steel they are Glock compatible the rear sight is adjustable and Diamondback made this modular you can see the serial number is internal on the trigger component group and they claim they're going to make additional frames with different colors you can switch these out but I think the gun world needs to wisen up to this gun because it's budget priced without lacking the features imported by SAR USA here we have the SAR 9 and if you ever wanted a combination between an HK and a Glock this is the closest you're going to find the SAR 9 the lower unit is very similar to an HK it has interchangeable grip panels and back straps to custom fit the shooter's hand size much like HK and if we look up here it resembles a Glock very closely and combined this gun just works now it does have a 4.4 inch barrel and comes with two 17 round magazines it does have a pick rail on the dust cover and three dot sights that has an adjustable rear sight very ergonomically nice and the trigger is also nice and I measure it at five and a half pounds and here's what we're looking at with the reset this model has a thumb safety other models don't but the SAR 9 is one fine handgun those are my choices of five unsung hero 9 millimeter handguns let me know what you think and also let me know what other handguns are out there that you feel are unsung heroes if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
