What is up people of internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast where hosts I'm our kids now I'm David and today we've got quite a bit of news to talk about new products new videos new stuff new developments It's all happening because it's tech vambor and that's just away goes also some other random stuff like cyber truck We've got we got everything you need to know about cyber truck which just today the embargo dropped on that Yes, there's been a video out and other stuff so all the details all the official stuff also a quick correction Yeah, this is coming out Friday December first correct So it's not tech member or December it doesn't roll off the tongue. Yeah, no feels weird anyway. We'll stick with it the tech The tech version rusty the tech man, but also let's start off with a this dbrand story and case to five story Yeah, I think it's actually really funny big drama energy going on here funny So and I got heads up about this before but basically it's all out there now Zach to everything it made a video detailing it Yeah, the high-level overview is dbrand has made a bunch of cases with Zach with the teardown skin So a bunch of skins that look like the inside of a phone But they're like cleaned up and have a bunch of cool Easter egg and stuff. Yeah, and then case defy a huge case company Decided to also make a similarly themed but different named teardown skin for their stuff Yeah, cases for their stuff and just straight ripped a bunch of dbrand designs Yeah in a way where it's not just a straight rip But you can tell they tried to hide some of it lightly photoshopped stuff out They missed so many Easter eggs that made it clearly the dbrand skin Yeah, so that's a high level of review But the details are so much more funny because the way Zach's video presents it all of it was so kind so nice And the funny is more stuff came out after the video went live Yeah, people realized that they had been ripping skins for a while before that Yeah So I think basically some some intern or some artist at case to probably an intern was like hired They probably were told hey, we need some cool new ideas and they went right click save that literally In Photoshop tweak some things and then went look at this cool thing.
I came up with and they were like whoa Yeah, this looks very similar to what dbrand did. Yeah, are you sure it's far away enough? And I'm like no trust me. It's not the same.
Yeah, whoops. Yeah, so the funny thing about this is that originally they launched a line of skins called Inside parts. Yeah, well that was the original lineup So this this was launched a long time ago and they got not in trouble But people started making fun of them including dbrand like quote tweeted them on Twitter And then made a bunch of fun of them because the inside parts skin was taken from one phone and no matter what phone You bought the skin for it was the insides of the one phone right so it was an incorrect inside of most of the phones at the Which was an iPhone I believe yeah, that's hilarious Yeah, so you had like an a 15 processor on your galaxy Yeah, which is like fine for a lot of people But if you're willing to dig into the weeds and get nerdy about it you can do way better Yeah, yeah, so then they came out with a new line called inside out which did represent the right device per case But then debrand noticed that they probably didn't do their own work of making them themselves because of all of the little Easter eggs There were stuff like 11 dot 11 dot 11 which was dbrand's founding date of the company whoops There was a R0807 which is supposed to spell robots because you know dbrand robots and case-ified That's fine. I think that even had the quote glasses glass and glass breaks And it's like do you really think that that's gonna be part of the inside of a phone huge huge miss there?
Oh, man. Yeah, yeah big miss I think that the number one thing I learned actually about this is how much effort it takes to make a tear down skin I was just gonna say that it's crazy. Yeah, the process that they that they detailed was was it's impressive You obviously can just take the back off of a phone and you know put it up against a scanner scan it and just like print that if you Really wanted to you could do that to but yeah It's way uglier And they wanted to give it some pops of color and some high resolution like detail and some cool looks So they're adapting the actual accurate inside of the back of the phone and then adding some things like an exposed wireless charging coil for a Touch of copper or maybe like adding some text like you said some Easter eggs and some fun stuff boosting contrast in certain places Yeah, so they really go above and beyond to make those which is cool. Yeah, so dbrand is issuing a federal lawsuit against case-ify in the Eight figures which could be between ten million dollars and a hundred million dollars Does it make a lot of money case if I was a big company and then case if I went on Twitter and all this is They were like we are investigating reports of this we have always been a bastion of Originality which okay, and then it gets deeper it gets worse Don't worry and then someone pointed out that they had a line of x-rayed skins as well that people realize they had literally just taken from I fix his website they right clicked save as for I fix it scans Yeah, and then I fix it made a statement on Twitter as well that was arresting them too And it just became this whole thing and it's like bastion of originality We're just stealing everyone stuff if you have to call yourself a bastion of originality you probably aren't one Yeah, I think that's probably always been a bastion of original Yeah, so the same day that you've been launched a lawsuit which they made a whole media event of by the way They sent people email saying we're suing.
Oh, yeah, they're literally using it as press. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, like like us talking about on podcast is they're probably watching this like yes Yes, you know he talking about it. So yeah, they're getting a lot out of this for sure And they launched a new set of skins a new set of x-ray skins with with Zach with a 50 micron x-ray machine Which is very exactly detail. Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, so Oh, just glamor dbrand is a channel sponsor on the main channel, right? I don't know if you've heard that before just just just so we get it sounds familiar Yeah, you've probably heard that said before but just in case you didn't know I think we got to stop trusting these companies that end in Phi, you know like spot spotify worked sort of you know whatever that burger five shop of confusing sponsor Shopify I Just mess that up. Sorry Called Google project fine now or Google Fire Wireless now actually they changed the name again Yeah, yeah, anyway anyway Next story is actually kind of a little bit of a tip to a special episode that we have coming up I think it got they post an Instagram thing of it. So I think people know that we podcast with them.
Oh, yeah, right? Yeah Yeah, so we did a podcast with Which is going to be airing fairly soon I'm gonna be but Google is deploying a new geothermal energy project that is now up and running in Nevada This is part of their kind of like clean energy by 2030 initiative and you know we go back and forth about what are these companies actually doing? Are they just buying credits are they doing this and it's you know? There's a lot of there's a lot of detail baked in there But they partnered with this company called Fervo to do this new type of geothermal energy plant where effectively they've got hot rocks out in Nevada Okay, hot rocks, which is also a name of a spoon album.
It's really good. Just so you know, okay. Yeah Okay, they've got these really hot rocks. They crack They make cracks in the rocks and then they This is real they make cracks in the rocks and then they put a closed loop system in there They pour water into the cracks the water turns to steam turns turbines that water eventually turns back in or that steam basically eventually turns back into water Falls back into the rocks turns back into steam and It powers pretty much Google's entire energy centers and energy centers data centers throughout Reno and Las Vegas It generates 3.5 megawatts of power which is enough to service about 2,625 homes But it's running all their data centers in that part of Nevada and they want to eventually expand it This is a small project right now because it's a brand new type of geothermal energy production But yeah, it's pretty cool They have some really awesome like aerial photos of the whole setup and like how it works and everything and I think that it just it makes A lot of sense to take more advantage of the natural energy sources that we already have all the time.
Yeah renewable energy Yeah, definitely a lot of companies like Apple will make these like videos of all these solar farms and stuff that they have and instead of buying credits It would be great if we actually just switched over to these renewable energy That is one huge distinction between like so many of these claims that we should we'll talk about but it's the difference between oh We want to be net neutral to the environment So we're going to pollute a lot but then pay for someone else to not pollute right a difference between that and actually changing the way You operate to not pollute so much. Yeah, so I can't help but be happy every time I see some actually useful meaningful changes like this Yeah, also the pictures super cool. Yeah pictures are really cool I saw a story today that said some airline was paying a ton of money to put like a hundred tons of CO2 underground And I'm like that just doesn't sound like it's a good long-term strategy What if we take it out of the air and put it under credit over there? I feel like the earth is just gonna explode at some point So I don't know enough about how that works, but yeah, I think as we edged closer to 2030 We're probably gonna see a lot of these companies releasing new renewable energy projects like this Which is pretty cool and hopefully they expand this a little bit more obviously you need to be in an area that does do with Thermal stuff so not bad as a good spot to kind of pilot it in.
Yeah, if you're in car and you have to just wind Yeah, it's just lots of wind stuff. Yeah, it's windy all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah So probably last little story before trivia in the ad break This kind of just dropped three yesterday, but apple card is dropping Goldman Sachs So I've had this apple card and I knew it was Goldman Sachs But I also am aware of Goldman Sachs's terrible reputation because as soon as this news dropped everyone was like thank God Yeah, this this is about time now I was always nervous about who they might switch to or whether I do next but also Apple to set this in this like Apple has Enough cash on hand to just be a big hood and they have this thing called Apple financial services that they use for the I think that I'll say things like that we can buy things interest free is that Or is that a different company? I think that's a different company.
Yeah, yeah Yeah, B&H has that or not interest free But B&H has a thing that they use synchrony for which is actually one of the companies that they are potentially feeling to be the apple Card backer we're on B&H which is a camera store in New York City Giant camera store in New York City if you use that credit card the benefit is that you don't have to pay sales tax They cover the sales tax I'm just being a used to not charge sales tax and then the laws change and they had to so then they figured I would get around it Anyway, Goldman Sachs were people that are not aware traditionally was a bank that only lent money to extremely rich people who are going to like either start new wings of their corporation or buy a mega yacht or something like that And so them getting into the like consumer banking business was already pretty weird and clearly they are not doing it well I personally think the apple card as a card is not a good general credit card It's not that great. It's only 1% cashback on everything and then you get I think 3% on Apple products and on Apple Pay when you Apple Pay right wait for anything to pay is 2% everywhere 2% There's just a lot of more general like Visa cards that give you better cashback in most categories Yeah, so golden Sachs says that it's lost $3 billion from the apple card deal since 2020 which is pretty wild They're trying to pull out of the consumer banking market altogether at this point Yeah, another whoops moment so there have been rumors that they're fielding American Express or possibly Synchrony Bank to be the new backer The next victim Yeah, the next victim because obviously I don't think Apple is going to kill the product Like I don't think Apple very rarely kills products and killing a credit card would be a big below for them So I can't really see that happening. Yeah, this is Google. Oh, yeah Remember the Google Wallet physical card.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's literally this literally wasn't a credit card It was a debit card basically I was a back in it within like a year or two maybe two years I remember I was so depressed when I got nuked I was like I use this all the time 2016 the original Google Wallet now not the rebranded rebranded now again Google Wallet I did happen. Yeah, okay. It's been a long few years. Yeah, so well, that's a good that's a good break to take We have a lot to talk about with this cyber truck.
Yeah, so let's take a quick break before that. Okay, and of course that means we should do sure really Trivia all right because we're talking about geothermal energy and everything like that This is going to be more science space a nice among means among being questions Not about long The top layer of our planet is called the crust and it only goes 25 miles the that's all the hot rocks are That's what the spoon album. I didn't know that's everything I'm on board so far and know this thing the other layers are called the mantle. Yep, and the what's ah I know this yeah, wow do you take Geo whatever and college or high school?
Yeah, yes Like geophysics or geophysics Oh, yeah, oh yeah, yeah This is pretty this is pretty geology where they're just like here's pretty geology. This is before their existence This would be on are you smarter than a fifth grader? You had geology class in fifth grade No, because they thought they told us this before we learned the rest of geology. Oh, just about the earth and the rest They're like by the way apart in the cheese.
You have a crust and a mantle a mantle and it Wow the mantle is usually where I hang all of my things on there. We have to end anyway We'll be back. Okay. Hey, I'm at Michelle comedian writer and floating head you may or may not have seen on your for you page And I'm starting a brand-new podcast wait wait don't swipe away It's called that sounds like a lot as in that feeling when you check your phone in the morning you read three headlines and you think oh, that sounds like a lot I can't deal with all this but guess what I can deal with it And I'm gonna get into it every Friday.
I'll break down whatever chaos is happening in the world Then I'll sit down with the comedian you can be progressive and not be like fucking annoying maybe an actor Maybe a filmmaker since leaving that show I'm challenged sparing Blight could be a politician basically anyone who responds to my cold DMS We're recording the whole thing in a beautiful studio So yes, you can watch it on YouTube or you can listen wherever you get your podcast This is not the place to get the news, but it is the place to feel a little better about it That sounds like a lot part of the Vox Media podcast network I'm Maria Sherpova and I'm hosting a new podcast called pretty tough every week I'm sitting down with trailblazing women at the top of their game to discuss ambition work ethic and the ups and downs that come in the path to achieving greatness We'll dive into their stories and get valuable insights from top executives actors entrepreneurs and other individuals who have inspired me so much in my own journey Follow pretty tough wherever you get your podcasts Alright, welcome back. We are joined at the big table by Ellis I made it the reason we're doing this is because we got back earlier today from shooting a video with The Tesla Cybertruck this is officially the week of the first delivery is there's going to be 10 sometime right before this recording drops The first delivery event where there's room to be on no 10 or 15 cyber trucks being delivered But the point is they're going to be out on the streets the official delivery specs and new Information about what you're actually going to buy instead of just a prototype truck is revealed And so now we get to react to that stuff and I'm also one of three people outside of Tesla to have driven the cyber truck And wow do I have some thoughts on driving the thing? Mm-hmm, so Ellis you're with me for a lot of that recording David you have thoughts probably questions about you have not seen a cyber truck Many questions. I just want to background it with this.
Yeah going into it I'm sure a lot of us are skeptical not sure if it was real not sure how close it would be to the actual concept truck Now that I've actually seen it driven it used it. I have several really big praises of it and also several really big negatives Okay, so there are there are definitely big positive big negatives I think let's just start with the numbers because of the things that everyone wanted to know about as it got revealed All of the numbers on paper except zero to 60 are worse than they promised oof It is the first time that's true about a Tesla Yeah, I feel like they always are usually able to deliver what they promise just really late this time straight up all the numbers are worse So those numbers are there are three trims a single motor rear wheel drive a dual motor all-wheel drive and a triple motor powertrain The triple motor being the highest end one that we tested It's dual motors in the room in the back with torque vectoring and a single permanent magnet motor up front Can you explain torque vectoring for people who don't know cars like yourself? Yeah, it's actually just you're able to independently control the rear wheels So if you go around a turn you can independently slow down the inside wheel with one motor while you accelerate the other outside With the other motor it's like what the f1 cars did right? Exactly You know when you're on the bar and you go around a corner and you hear that terrible screeching noise Yeah, that's because the bar trains barely have differentials and torque vectoring is not happening.
Okay, okay? So here's the numbers on the truck They originally promised 500 miles of range on the highest end truck. Yeah, the highest end truck has 340 miles of range Oof they originally promised and when you say hi, I stand you mean like most rain most efficient most range, okay? Yeah, they originally promised 40 from 500 yeah, they promised 14,000 pounds of towing capacity Yes, 11,000 pounds of towing capacity.
Yeah key. They promised a 2.9 seconds or 60 It is a 2.7 seconds or 60. It's actually faster interesting. They promised 69,000 nine hundred dollars for the triple motor It is a hundred thousand dollars.
Yeah, so that's the highest end cyber truck triple motor hundred thousand dollars 340 miles of range and That will ship alongside the dual motor as the first ones out the factory and the single motor rear will drive will be later The dual motor we're thinking again This is pre-event but it's probably around 75 to 85 grand. Okay, so that's that's on paper The truck itself is also about five percent smaller in every dimension than the original truck Huh, we went up with an f150 lightning to go shoot this and it is a little bit smaller than the f150 lightning Whereas yeah, the original truck was about the same size interesting that being said it's still the same six foot bed size as an f150 It just has a much smaller front trunk very very small shallow front so I can't lie in it with Brandon this time You can't lie down in it the Rivian has a bigger front trunk The f150 has a bigger front trunk even the small GMC Hummer EV has a bigger front trunk a little tiny Hummer EV yeah, but I fit to carry on my baby still bigger than all these cars Hummer EV is gigantic it has a 200 something kilowatt hour battery, okay and weighs 9,000 pounds the Hummer EV okay Cybertruck has everyone of them will have a 123 kilowatt hour battery and will weigh about 6800 pounds so it's lighter than the Rivian Oh, it's just a Rivian way about 7500 pounds. Okay, so you know all this off the top of your head. Yeah, sorry Yeah, but this is the first time we actually get the specs yeah, so again some positive and I give in there I have a question Sure, so you said the max price was a hundred thousand That's the roughly starting price of the triple motor how much is the cheapest cheap cheap one?
We don't know yet. We'd be guessing but I don't think it's gonna be anywhere near the original promise 39 Yeah, probably they'll reveal it at the event. I don't think so I think we're gonna start with the dual and triple and I think we'll find out months from now to be fair to Tesla Rivian to the same thing and check the price by a lot exactly so okay And there's been a bunch of talk about this how like when this truck was first announced years ago It launched into a very different world than we live in now Which is like some inflation some new war is like some totally different circumstances So yeah, it's a different time to be building this thing Yeah, but at least the product is done now and we can actually analyze the product itself Yeah, so Ellis you've seen it in person. Yeah, where your reactions to writing in it seeing it observing its reality I know I know I've been clowning on this thing on this very show for months.
I've been ridiculing the Cybertruck relentlessly It's awesome. It's so awesome Which I totally recognize that if the roads were exclusively full of Cybertrucks the world would be objectively a worse and scarier and more dangerous place Let's all ride bikes very yeah, but the 11 year old boy in me thinks this thing totally kicks out It's so cool the photos you don't do it just that's the thing for me when you see it in person It's really striking and it's really beautiful and it's reflective in the perfect way and does it feel does it actually feel well Constructed and built and doesn't feel like they just slapped a bunch of panels together that made it like no no No, I feel dirty like dirty build wait. You think it feels like a dirty build. Yeah.
Oh, I was gonna say the opposite It's here. So there's two parts of this. Yeah, one just like a prototype truck obviously is gonna feel like a prototype But the finished truck I think is a mix of like you were in a finish truck We were in a finish truck. So I get so I took I rode the original prototype four years ago for sure and that thing I couldn't even tell like what was made of what it was just a quick glancing blow with the Cybertruck seeing this final one It's like okay now everything is well formed and even panel gaps are pretty even But this was the hand selected truck to give to us to shoot on camera Right and even this truck had a couple slightly oddly shaped gaps and the difference between the gaps on the truck We were testing versus the gaps on the ten other trucks that I observed Yeah, which to be fair I saw lots of other cyber trucks and had lots of other differences and build yeah So that's something I observed and the other thing is I just like Pulled up on the dashboard and like was just pulling on things and just feeling general materials.
It's it's not great It's like a Tesla. That's fine. It's not amazing. It's not horrible It's a Tesla a piece fell off before we even started testing it like we arrived at the location We're gonna shoot at and then was like oh my god this thing is like dangling off That was it like a plastic piece Wow, so yeah, it is what it is lots of other interesting things about it though Yeah, let's go so okay first of all it's an 800 volt system Which is good news for future proofing that means all the v4 superchargers that test was building with a longer cable It will charge even faster at those probably over a thousand miles an hour Which is awesome v3 charger thousand over a thousand v3 charges about a thousand miles an hour for the model 3 Which is a 400 volt system this new 8-volt system will likely be even faster on each charge on v4 So again, but it's also backwards compatible with v3 is because it cleverly talks to the v3 charger virtually splits it actually Physically split into two smaller battery packs and charge them each.
Oh wow That's cool. That's cool. So it's a long faster than charge a lot faster than it will also have much less wire mass Generally should be better at dissipation of heat exactly. Yeah, they they Was west the head engineer?
So we were looking at the head engineer the Cybertruck product was there and he was explaining to us that a lot of the low voltage wires They actually stepped up to 48 volts So they could step down the wattage and have a much thinner wire without having to worry about it burning out He said and this is a very tesla engineer thing to say he was like we were approaching the limits of how thin a wire could physically be It seems like a bad idea. Okay, you know, it's like that seems really like a breaker really easily No, they're strong. They're strong wires So typically to push that much current through a wire you need a thicker wire and they're able to use thin wires. Yeah, okay cool Okay, cool.
Um that much wattage. So they drop the car. Sorry. Yes wattage.
Yeah, you like me ohms law electrical engineering students. Sorry. I'm an amateur for you equation Okay, here's my favorite thing about the truck. Okay, the number one most unique most amazing thing about the Cybertruck is not the way it looks It's the way it drives.
Yeah, it's crazy. It's a crazy drive. Why so first of all it is a ridiculously powerful truck, right? Triple motors we're looking at 850 ish horsepower.
Okay, it's off the line. It'll smoke name any sports car It's gonna beat it off the line of straight line. That's just like a party trick that tesla's good at they've been good at that for a while They know that'll sell people the tug of war with an F-150. I'm sure it'll crush like great.
I'm used to that. That's fine This is also Tesla's first steer by wire system and if combined it with this like squirkel, it's not a yolk anymore It's like a full round steering wheel, but like flattens like a rectangle Oh, but the amount of turn required by the wheel to turn the truck is tiny Really and there is up to 10 degrees of rear axle steering and you can see it just looking at the rear wheel when you turn it The entire thing snaps and in at low speeds it like carves in a much smaller wheelbase It's a tight turning radius and at high speeds actually changes wheels in the same direction So you kind of glide from left to right and the entire turn like you know How long you go to make like a K turn you kind of do hand over hand and flip over if it came turn if you If you need to turn around on a two lane road. Oh, yeah, it's too narrow. Okay, like pull over.
Yeah back up to the left back up Yeah, cyber trucks full lock turn is 170 degrees Meaning you never have to go hand over hand the entire turn is just this and you're it's so is it's a terrible like audio Because you have to see it to understand what I'm saying, but she long story short It's the most nimble truck I've ever driven because you can really turn in ways that you feel like you're just pivoting around the middle of the truck It's almost like you're using a joystick because a like full max rotation of the wheels Literally is a single hand over hand turn on the wheel like in theory you could get all possible turning motions without ever removing your 11 and four yeah, you know the numbers that you're supposed to turn into 10 into 10 and 4 of the nuts So it is it is a super super nimble feeling truck Okay, much more so than a Rivian than F 150 and it just yeah It just makes it much more usable in small spaces. Yeah, which is important for a truck that large important And it is it is a big truck, but it feels like I can place it more easily at low speeds especially than even the smaller Rivian So yeah, just a question. Yeah, do you think were you around other cars when you were driving this? Yeah, or were you like in an empty lot bunch of cars?
Oh, okay interesting I was gonna say you think it's because you didn't have like another car to like compare it to no the opposite because we pulled up in F 150 like the truck we all love What we all think is like an objectively great truck and then after we dropped the cyber truck back off We got back in that Ford and all of us were like it's so loose. It's so Slow we were saying it felt slow. It was like it was do so for a lot of the driving I was in the backseat with all the audio gear and my cousin's in the front seat driving and Monitoring all the stuff that truck feels unbelievably stiff and not in like a suspension sort of stiff like if Marquez hit a corner It felt like I was back in the Navera. It was Psychotically stiff interesting and you know to sort of see what it would do Marquez would rock the wheel which because of the Steer by wire me the car is doing steep turns and you would just feel the structural integrity from the backseat It was wild.
There's a few things I feel like we should bring up There's a general ethos from this car that I sort of received from talking to engineers and reading about it and going with The speech list where it's it's an unbelievably safe car for the driver It's not it's not it's not entirely clear, you know how safe it is for other people on the road exactly I mean to the point where someone at the factory was sort of like yeah You know the the model we showed five years ago or whatever didn't have side windows Right government like made us put some or not when it's ten of sign mirrors government made us put side mirrors on it But you can take them off if you want oh well They just have to ship them stock with it Yeah, it was like yeah, but if you take them off you should put like truck mirrors like blind spot checkers on it But also if you take them off either it's like can you get pulled over for that? No, no So the rules cars must ship with the side mirrors the rules not that you must drive with yeah What a loophole and so they don't blink her on the camera feed from the fender shows you what you would have seen if you Look at your mirror and so and that already shows up on yeah People are used to checking the screen all right and so if you just remove the mirrors from the truck No, I I should say it's a reasonably you could safely pilot this car with no mirrors I'm pretty sure but it was just weird to have someone has like yeah You could take off the mirrors and if you hit something that's on you It just feels weird to look to the right at my screen to merge left Yeah, that's true Do that and maybe people get used to it and I have heard good things about like camera feeds instead of mirrors Like the pull star four that we were talking about last week the week before having no rear view window That's the truck that we drove had no rear rear mirror Oh, the cyber truck doesn't either so it does the cyber truck that we drove didn't have one It will actually have one when you buy it But when you you've seen the truck right when you close the tonneau cover yeah You completely shut off that rear view but okay, and so if you check that mirror you will not see behind you So there's a new reverse camera at the back of the truck that is constantly displayed so that you can see behind you interesting So this is one of those I described as a muscle memory remap like that which happens with Tesla's all the time Like the model three people now instead of checking right behind the steering wheel for your speed I've had to remap their glance to like right the top of the other screen Yeah with the plaid the yoke the buttons on the yoke like the horn blinkers are right now I've had to remap that for myself with the cyber truck There's another one which is you will not check the mirror nearly as often if your tonneau covers close You can't see anything you have to check the screen which again is just a little lower But it's that's where your rear view is on the cyber truck They're not doing like a digital rear view mirror like a lot of cars there not okay interesting I kind of was hoping that they would out it too. Yeah like that I you know my a lot of my thoughts about the cyber truck and sort of be summed up and like it's not and maybe you feel Differently marques but it's not innovative which sounds weird right because they are like pushing a lot of boundaries in which Yeah Well it feels like they decided all of these boundaries and rules that they wanted to break because they thought it would be like fun And cool and then they had to endlessly over engineer every single part of that truck to still make it work with those like initial ideas But it's not like it's not the next step in trucks. It's not the next step in anything It's just a really weird truck with a lot of really cool engineering to make to allow it to be weird It's the same thing as like the Steve Jobs like I needed to do this and the engineers go That's not physically possible and he goes make it happen and figure out ways to make it happen in ways that aren't really the original vision But they're still yeah actually have a feature that speaks directly to what you're saying So I agree the truck isn't innovative in that it isn't actually capable of anything that there are other cars on the road couldn't do It has autopilot the same way other Teslas have autopilot it can carry the same amount of stuff It has the same size bed, etc There are other EV trucks that already exist But I think what they realize is with this first generation of EV trucks since none of them are technically capable of new things other Maybe a front trunk you have to differentiate yourself And so that's Tesla's whole thing they're like look at how every other truck looks the same now look at how ours looks Yeah, and so they are sort of engineering their way into a new form factor in that way There is one crazy feature instead of enabling with a giant 240 kilowatt hour battery some massive range and an ability to tow more or longer than every other EV truck Instead it's a hundred twenty three kilowatt hour battery It's roughly the same but there is an optional battery extender that you can buy and equip the truck with and it will fit neatly in the trunk of the Cyber truck and add a hundred and twenty miles of range, but it also adds all of the weight of more battery So basically Tesla's thought processes Hmm in this day and EVs 300 miles is a good number and we're gonna try to hit that because if we do actually try to hit 500 miles It adds out too much weight to the truck and it compromises too many other things with this truck You become a nine thousand pound hammer truck So we're gonna have a normal weight and we're gonna have a normal 300 mile range But if you are going to tow or do some hauling or road tripping and you do want to sacrifice the weight just to have that ability to do it We'll sell you a huge battery pack that you put in the trunk of the so the the battery gives you more range than it takes away for it being heavy Exactly how much does that cost you know?
I don't know if I got a price for that. It's a good question. It is that hard to take in and out probably okay Yeah, that's super heavy probably a couple thousand charge in like synchrony with the car when you're charging the car I believe I suspect based on what they told me it'll act like just an extension of the car's battery pack interesting Is there a two-core or you outlet in the front in the trunk in the bed in the bed in the bed? Yes So and that's actually a good feature as well reverse charging reverse charging your to charge your home Whatever you want or another vehicle.
Oh, are they really single to cyclic? I don't even think you need a special cable It had it straight up 240 volt plug in the trunk that can do nine and a half kilowatts out Oh, you just have like the cable that you get with any EV that has a 240 volt Yeah, pop that thing in the cyber truck trunk and it will literally charge whatever car okay, that's cool We're making a short on that. I think so. I think it's pretty sick And then they also said that the actual charge port itself would eventually be yeah in and out as well That you need a special box for like maybe power power.
Okay, so like the F-150 lighting sort of exactly cool That is crazy. We need to see what it's like on the road though. Yeah, we're not on the road We need to see what it's like in mass. You know, we did I'm like, you know It's like like we had one that was earmarked like for us and we all always we all liked it You know, I mean, but I'm sure the first ten that they deliver also going to be as perfect as possible You know and then when there's ten thousand on the road and like all cars They start getting into accidents and like in all cars There's gonna eventually be a recall on one of the parts and yeah We're gonna have to see if if it's outlandish character is able to make it a comfortable thing that someone can own So an extremely common thing that you have to do in New York City and specifically Brooklyn is that people the lanes are not that wide and people all the time double Park and you have to sort of like squeeze between them because they're just double park I'm gonna happen with this you literally won't know what I'm not any different than any other truck out full-size truck out How wide is it as wide as the Ruby in it says why does the F-150?
Oh really? Yeah, this is why it's the most popular vehicle and on the United States There's a Ruby in my neighborhood and it was just parked the other day because someone was double park And he couldn't get around it. Yeah, it's not to say that you should buy a pickup truck in New York City Probably not do that. Yeah, but dimensions wise and practicality wise it does look insane But physically it's basically the same size as the most popular truck.
I'm excited for a scenario of you Come to the way again the way is just under seven thousand pounds just under seven is it stainless steel? So that's a good question. It's technically it's an alloy It's a little bit more formidable of an alloy than just pure stainless steel But it's finished looks just like a refrigerator and an interesting note about the hat is so Number one cleaning materials are apparently slightly different you just use like window cleaner instead of like are they selling a polishing cloth? He said any microfiber.
Yeah, okay, so there won't be like a Tesla Apple collab I'm not collab, but they're probably gonna be a problem. Yeah, we're thinking about it is I don't know if you remember the the concept truck. It didn't have side-view mirrors. This truck has that you're Didn't have a windshield wiper now.
This truck has a giant. Oh, that's okay, but but yes I have another the concept didn't have door handles and neither did the truck. Whoa, so instead there are small Buttons actually it's a pretty big button, but it's a button on the a pillar and the B pillar and you press that one and B pillars Between the front seat and the back seat. It's got that pillar.
Oh, okay, so I'm sure yeah Yeah, you press the button and it pops out the door by like two inches and then grab the door and hold the rest The way open this is all the doors on the truck And my first question was like what if it's ice over and they immediately were like yeah, we tested that Right now and it'll push through an inch of ice. Whoa, so they told me dang. I don't know if it will but hey We're out here on the northeast. We will probably be able to have another short.
Yeah, yeah They did demonstrate shorts that the I forget if it was like a solenoid or a motor or whatever creates the force that opens the door opens The door with enough force that you cannot physically hold it shut against them against the opening. Yeah, yeah, break Yes, wow, it's gonna break an inch of ice. It's gonna break your arms Well, no one's hopefully no one's holding it shut while unlocking it. Yeah, it doesn't fly open Yeah, it presents itself and you are right not open if it's like up against a wall or another car or something Well, it recognized that there's something there.
It's only like two inches So it probably won't you won't be able to park that close. Okay. Okay. Yeah, challenge accepted, but the windshield wiper Oh, yeah, okay.
Yeah, so this is a extremely widely debated thing and the verge is being hard on all the answers That whether or not is it one giant windshield wiper or is it multiple which realize been tweeting about it for months? Yeah, they've been doing hard reporting on the live this is for you This is as long as you can acknowledge the word of where the flagship podcast cyber truck reporting Yeah Media So to answer that question, it's one windshield wiper and it's one windshield the world's largest piece single piece of automotive glass That was what they said is the biggest windshield ever seen one windshield wiper one huge windshield wiper Okay, how does it work? Okay, yeah poorly So it is stored up against the side of the truck not flat you know how most are sort like right into your wipes down So it's up on the side and yes it wipes down right it's frickin probably fine It's huge, but okay, it's a big windshield wiper All right, it totally because the windshield goes over your head and the windshield is the entire windscreen It actually totally covers the driver and actually covers probably 75% of what the past is Yeah, I feel like if you're sitting in a passenger so you're not gonna get much clean quick enough It's probably okay So reaches the full other side of the windshield but it doesn't go full coverage obviously because physics yeah, but it's a huge Wiper right a couple things about that one you're gonna need a hell of a motor to like push this thing I went to Speed and I have a video of it and it just Move in it's fast as a go to it moves like a regular wish away really no way That's great Nothing about it pulling not that quickly. It's like it's got a crazy motor and the other thing is the hub is like exposed It's not like under the hood so if this thing ice is over this thing is gonna be cool How tons of snow off your way the windshield cleaner Excellent question it's crazy Giant windshield wiper is also hollow enough on the inside that no way there is a pump underneath it that when you first press the button To like spray your windshield it takes a beat to pump the entire thing full of windshield wiper cleaner And then it sends the windshield down and then there's like ten holes on the wiper blade that all stray as it goes back to the top Well, I'll put it.
I'll show you the video. That's the first the first like upward stroke is dry. It sprays It's still pumping it full of windshield. That's what I mean It's not an innovative truck There's a lot of new things in this truck, but they're work around for this like stupid It flies up that quickly it probably doesn't even need to pump any liquid because the like motion would ascend the work with us yes but You know I wasn't there so when we pulled up to the parking lot I'm just gonna talk a while there yeah Yeah, it's so funny.
It's like a samurai like it's like a katana So we pull up to the gigafactory and we're in this lot where there's like seven or eight Cybertrucks that is also where we were able to look around and see that the panel gaps on these different trucks were like not exactly the same But a lot of these trucks were just covered in dirt like serious serious off-roading And in them and in all the ones that had dirty windshields you could see where the wiper had been wiping Was it a clean windshield? Not the cleanest again. I didn't I that dirt could have made it there after the last wipe They could have dirtyed it to make it look cooler for us There's like an endless number of explanations for what actually happened But on the ones that did have a clean windshield where you could tell the wiper actually did work that you were right the passenger side is still just Yeah, wow Yeah, we have one really cool shot from the video Where we were doing it without a and d filter without a polarizer Outside and you can see we're driving on this narrow road through these woods And you can see the reflections of the trees and the clouds and the sky on that big glass panel and even the stainless steel is reflective And you can see it and it's you're just like oh, this is cool What's gonna happen when the sun is shining directly at the car? Oh, it shines right in your eyes.
It hooks you Yeah, it reflects us off this truck are nutty. Yeah, it's because it's flat too Like a lot of cars are like curves so you only get like a glance It's on like a secular diffusion on this one if you stand the wrong place You're just gonna get blasted with the reflection until you move Yeah, you think it's gonna blind drivers like driving by them and stuff there are gonna be angles where yeah It's gonna And that's what I mean when I say we need to see what happens when these things are actually being delivered because in isolation when it's Just one truck statistically it probably will never come up as a problem But when there's one's written on 10,000 on the road you make it a little yeah, yeah, a million careers if they all go through Yeah, well the price is way high very different right later. Yeah, and it's also three years later Are you keeping yours Marcus? So now that you've driven it now that I've seen it had it for a day I will say that yes, there are some downsides, but I think the crazy advantages that it has the crazy Nimble steering radius and the the way it drives was enough for me to keep my pre-order and like wait till I have one And fully evaluate it and then decide between keeping that or the Rivian I'm still not sure which one it's gonna be they each other advantages But I'm I'm much more curious now about working with the cyber truck because it has a tow hitch it has the six foot Bed which is bigger than the Rivian bed.
It's got the power outlets in the trunk It's got the you know dampened opening I stood on top of the tonneau cover It's fine like it has a motorized tonneau cover the tonneau cover is the back cover that goes over the bed over the bed Yeah, you can open it or close any amount you want you can stand on it You can you know trust the things inside or secure the back seats all fold up And so there's a whole bunch of room on the floor that you can like put things tripod is it two or three row? It's two rows to row two full size rows. So copy back seats. Yeah, comfortable heated back seats Yeah, like a lot of good things going for it.
So I'm they're comparable in a lot of ways Okay, is the screen on the inside is it rect is it a lengthwise longer or is it taller? It is the biggest truck test was ever made. It's also the biggest screen they've ever put in a truck Really inches. Oh, so it's the same aspect ratio as normal just bigger dang Yeah, big big screen's got a nine inch green in the back also the biggest ever put in the back You also play cyberpunk on it.
I haven't had the same GP structure as the dad. I'm not sure the plaid I'm in the car We'll not go to the metal Was in like a dark mode by default to I didn't know Tesla's had it usually that's based on time of day But I was dark all day. I didn't was there a light mode. No, I'm pretty sure It was yeah, it was dark the whole time.
Yeah, I don't know if there was a light mode in the software. I'm not sure either interesting Okay, it was a very it looks exactly like your car's UI. I just like change all the fonts to look cyber change all of the curves To be like a bad Android skin. It's actually pretty good.
Really. It's it's pretty tasteful. They don't go too crazy Okay, then the whole like the logo I'm sure we're trying to get some mood. That's like yeah, tell us about the beast mode the triple motor Cybertruck They're sort of informally calling the beast Yeah, pulse our BST also stands for beast.
I don't know if we knew that but I did not I was nine And I was running really fast. Yeah, there are three drive modes in the beast comfort comfort B Comfort sport and beast yeah, I think so yeah Instead of sport it might be performance something like that and then the highest end is called these yeah I said okay, and is that just like the most acceleration the most torque? Yes, okay? Drive it in that mode I did drive it in that nice it blew my face off man.
It's fast. It's fast. It's very fast It's not as fast as the the the plaid plaid nothing is that's one point? No.
Yeah, but it is these faster than plaid Yes, okay, so that that the the noveros the fastest production car ever made yeah quickest sorry Is there a 60s or 100s or 200 the plaid is the fastest one your mortals can buy right and this is the fastest pickup truck any Factory has ever made yeah, it's crazy I don't know the top speed but if it does an 11 second quarter mile it's probably pretty fast It's at the risk of sounding like a shill this sounds pretty dope If they don't like some parts of it definitely my number one concern with it and at the same time kind of one of its advantages is Visibility because there's nuance to visibility you can see Everything they're huge glass canopy in front of you over your head like behind you the triangle window Yeah, but the front pillar like you can see all around you amazingly well no blind spots other than right in front of you I cannot see what's right in front of you. Oh my god There's a new front facing camera Oh, and you can pull it up in the software at any time and there's still no 360 view in tesals Which I don't know how to on this yet They have the cameras for it so get to it Tesla people are getting blown away by that feature Stish them together can't be that hard. It does it but you can't see what's right in front of the nose of the truck You just can't that's bad. It's just the distance between you and the front of the windshield You can put like a pizza box in the front of this car not exaggerating like picture a pizza box Yeah, picture it putting it behind your steering wheel like opened up.
Yeah, like a pizza like open it up No, I would end up like the angle of a side okay So you you're a long way from the front of the windshield and then at the front of the windshield There's a little front trunk and then a shelf I cannot tell you if there's a child standing in front of us I was gonna say I'm not gonna help their running over kids thing I cannot tell what's in front of it unless I have the camera feed open you didn't you this I know it doesn't I don't know if there is something in front of you know if you reverse yes, and there's a button always to pull up a camera feed But if I don't have a camera feed up, I feel like they should have sensors in the front that something's really close to you I'm sure if it becomes an issue they can like push it from where update or something that would be that I should do that Yeah, just like they always have a reading camera. They should probably in the front at low speeds have the front camera Yeah, that'd be smart No, it definitely is that was one of the first things you said when you got behind the wheel you're like where are the edges of this truck And they were giving you these tricks like oh use like the corner of the windshield and like and then I actually I was like because this is where the edge of the truck is like I held my arm up like a little flag Yeah, and it still was like not especially the corners. Yeah, it's our sharp. Yeah, which are really sharp.
You know can cut you Yeah, you could cut yourself on a on the corners on the edge. Yeah, dang the Rivian has a similar thing with the gear tunnel But that's only when it's open right when you open the gear tunnel There's like a sharp corner people have cut themselves on that all the time we put Tim through there Yeah, so when you the door the door of the gear tunnel. Yeah, it's like shaped like this and that right angle piece You just hit your knee on it and clear stuff dang anyway We've talked a lot about the truck. Yeah, I think it's about it that you're stoked on or hate I hate that it just feels like and I'm using the word vehicle here figuratively not literally But I just hate that it feels like a vehicle for people to be their most dangerous least thoughtful selves That's what pickups are Ellis look you said it not me.
So everyone can go after him But yeah, that's my big thing is it really feels like it's it's so cool The the 11 year old in me is so stoked. It sounds awesome. It feels awesome and is it good for all of us? No, it's not it's not anything about when they're gonna start making like more mass deliveries of it No, that'll be a surprise to all of us I think what they're gonna start projecting at this event I'm guessing is here are our first deliveries Yeah, it is whatever 10 to 20 of these things and we are about to go through a production ramp to try to get as many of These out the doors possible, but that probably means 10 this week 15 next week for you next week.
Wow. It's gonna be a slow ramp Yeah, right Adam. I think we're winning this bet. I was just gonna say I want to know we are recording this on Wednesday The day before the event was Tony 25 25 was the best 25 was the best They're not listening to my life and not employees by the end of the year.
Yeah, so there's a number 25 That's true. That's true. That's one a day. Okay, so we'll we're doing 10 on the old town They can do it you've tried 30 ways But one day there will be a lot of these cars on the road.
Yeah, no I did appreciate and then we can wrap up cyber stuff So you're conspiracy theory. Oh, yeah, that's so much better. I was about to say something boring Yeah, I have this conspiracy theory based around the waveform trivia the waveform podcast. We love spraying conspiracy Yeah, so everybody put on your tin foil hats.
Do you have any conspiracy music? I'm gonna add it in post Yeah, I was having some conspiracy music, but yeah, so the late rapper DMX RIP We all love DMX on his legendary 2007 album It was called pick up the litter right actually I can't remember Never mind. I don't call me sorry DMX I hear about that. Anyway, we all love the song.
Oh, thanks You want to say I totally just popped over you always tell my friends when they're taking care of my cats pick up the litter No, oh pick up the litter guys Okay legendary New York rapper DMX we all love him on his song X going give it to you many people know many people No, many movies and also in Rick and Morty, which was how I learned about it Anyway, I think the song X going give it to you by DMX is actually about the cyber truck So you're saying he knew something that we didn't in 2007. Yeah, he knew like way more about this cuz look X going give it to you Okay, ex the platform there we go. X the e-lawn just sort of general thing. Okay going to give you this I truck waiting for you to get it on your own X going deliver to you.
Oh making deliveries delivery event delivery event coming up Okay, knock knock open up the door. It's real real It's we none of us thought it was real for years all of a sudden knock knock open up the door It's real with the non-stop pop pop from stainless steel to finish Jesus and pop pop pop like the one that they shot with the gun exactly pop exactly so Yeah, I just I think we should all go back and listen to DMX's ex don't give it to you and really think hard because I really do think We can't do that without getting demonetized. I should do it. Cyber truck.
Yeah. Wow. I think that he had something. Yeah 2007 I thought it was too.
Thank you. Yeah, that might initially pull it up on as a company one years ago It can finally yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go through the rest of the lyrics and see if I can find hands at future Tesla products Maybe there's some rose to references. Yeah, it's like in 2029 the Roadsters looking fun. Yeah, that's one of the lyrics That's all we need to know okay Let's take a quick break if you want to go over the spot if I rap for this this year on waveform So we'll take a break and look at that but that Question to do you do you know what?
Let's hear from here all right. Let's keep rolling with the geology questions today I did a geology class like Marcus in G in igneous. What are the other ones what what? Igneous I can tell you a lot about black holes, but I cannot tell you obsidian is one of them.
Nope obsidian is isn't is an igneous I know obsidian is an igneous rock isn't igneous rock, but it is not another kind of rock It's a rock formed by the cooling of magma day. They're money anyway I listen to you the most abundant element in the air we breathe is nitrogen number two is oxygen What's the third most abundant element in the air we breathe? Because it's pumping the air right now. No, it's not all right.
That's just chemistry. No, it's not it's about the atmosphere That's geology is not what is your part of geology is earth. Yeah, we the air in the atmosphere is part of earth I didn't write this I think solids are part of earth I don't want to throw you to the bus because I had airplane brain and couldn't come up with a question this week and Adam Kind of stepped in but I'm with you. This is geology.
This is geology. Can you ask the question like what was David's job before this? So I can actually get some fortunately we can't repeat questions, so we're locking those questions in we'll hit them after the break You're right back Fanduil casino is the home of puffing puffs lots online And we've just launched our newest exclusive game puffing puffing money mansion stack up houses and spin for massive bonuses for those big bad wins Exclusively on fan duo casino download the app today Please play responsible 90 plus and physically located in Ontario you have questions or concerns about your gambling or something close to please contact And ex Ontario that's yeah This week on net worth and shell I'm joined by tanks and not sure the mean king with over 15 million followers across tanks good news influencers in the wild and his personal account Tank is breaking down what the meme economy really is how much a single sponsored post pays why major brands are throwing serious money at jokes and how meme culture Think preparation age starter packs and a perfectly timed screenshot is actually reshaping how we think about money and value get ready for a Conversation that'll change the way you scroll make you rethink what going viral is really worth and prove that sometimes the most serious money Moves are wrapped in the silliest of jokes. Listen, wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube comm slash your rich BFF Alright, welcome back We got one last little thing for a free guys on way form Which is basically a shout out to you the listeners to listen to thank you for listening and Spotify wrapped came out this week A lot of people were sharing them.
Did you get you? Yeah? Yeah? I know it's a lot of people were sharing I was like the number 100 user Spotify in the United States Oh nice.
I still have the email from time early adopter badge you should get I know it's a lot of people were sharing their Spotify wrapped with like an asterisk Of like I only listened in the car. That's why it's this weird I thought like everyone had like some some disclaimer for why they didn't like I'm proud of my music I'm trying to say yeah, but we did get is a Spotify wrapped as we do every year from the perspective of the uploader Because we upload this podcast to Spotify Yeah, which is where many of you listen and so now I'm gonna step through the best of what is telling me about you guys Keep in mind this is only Spotify obviously if you're like looking at me point at you right now Then you're viewing this which means you're on YouTube YouTube should do YouTube rewinds like rap I want to know how many minutes of videos I watched I want to know which uploader I watched the most minutes from yeah I want to know whose videos I watched the most of during the year lo-fi girl I want to know what video I watch the most times that I repeat watch a video. I come on I want that a lot more than what you read everyone used to be yeah They should they should take the opportunity to own the rewind branding and I get something awesome. I agree people it does a free idea YouTube.
I'll just take 10% it's fine. Let's do it by tomorrow. I'll just do it. Okay, okay So in 2023 people listen to the waveform podcast on Spotify scrolling in what does it want to tell me this is the first time I'm seeing this as well.
I listen on pocketcast just so you know, so I'm not part of this So from the top yeah thoughts on our number one episode of the entire year was Apple vision pro and WWDC 23 am shocked It was streamed 517% more than your average episode Wow, so five times the usual dang it's impressive Okay, next slide. Let's hear for the new fans. Okay, so you are new 40% of your listeners discovered you and 2023 Wow That makes sense. We like an explosion of traffic a lot of new people and thank you for that by the way Yeah, I think it's probably also true about the YouTube stuff.
Mm-hmm 5% of our listeners started with the iPhone 15 as our first phone as our first episode ever, okay, which is pretty cool. I was just wait how many percent five percent of all of our people okay That says how does it feel to have gone global the United States was your top country with 36% total streams, but we were streamed in 153 countries wait for you coming countries either there are between 190 and 200 countries ish depending on who you ask okay, so 153 that's the thing that I always get surprised by when I look at YouTube analytics It's like many of these countries are not majority English speaking countries So there are people who are just like listening to podcast in countries we never would have thought this is pretty sick So like a 75% ish of countries listen away from us. That's pretty awesome. That's insane.
That's crazy on the top five list Yeah, I guess I guess to alternate guesses. Oh, let's alternate guesses number one well number one the US here He said that out number two India correct number three the UK incorrect is it Germany correct number four The Philippines incorrect thing shut to the Philippines South Korea incorrect. No think think closer Mexico Even closer Canada Canada correct. Oh and then five Philippines incorrect Thank go east east sorry.
No, it doesn't matter which way you go west West Philippines Iceland From the Philippines. Oh, where are you? No? Okay, sorry Canada.
Okay. Go east Iceland. Okay, go south south green. No.
No, that's to the west the UK. Yeah. Yeah, nice. I'll find okay So I was US India Germany Canada and UK okay, okay top five most used most popular countries listen to waveform shout out to all those guys and girls are listeners have A good taste.
So what else are they into sorry? This it's giving me much more generic answers your listeners top podcast genres genres We're number one comedy number two news number three sports wait. What's not in there? News no way Sure, no, I mean we're listed on all the technology charts.
I have a technology chair. Yeah, okay Maybe it doesn't count because it's like other stuff that they are maybe we're the only tech podcast that they need to listen to with a Flag to technology podcast in existence. Okay, so our listeners top music genres. Okay, wait It's so generic yes number one pop number two wrap number three rock I Your listeners definitely told their friends about you.
What does that mean to share the podcast? Oh, yeah? Here's how they share the podcast 51% direct link What's that?

Yeah, you could go sing a core and reserves or enough I was thinking of course services for sure before I do this next trip a question I want to give a quick shout out hundreds if not thousands of you tweeted DM'd commented the difference between end-to-end encryption and encryption in transit Just like I asked one of you put it in a really really beautiful clear easy to read way And I'm a huge fan of beautiful easy clear explanations. You have a comment you can read I do and it's from Twitter user Pronov to worry just want to say thank you I'm not gonna you know, he divided it into three tweets and I'm gonna read all three But essentially is all these messaging services rcs Android chatter I don't know what you what you people use tell I message whatever Telegram signal there's all sort of a central various levels of encryption No, I was gonna say like a server and when you're messaging someone your message is going to that server and it's going so Incription in transit is where the server has a key you have a key you type a message it gets encrypted server gets it The server decrypts it and then re-encrypts it to send to the final person who has a separate set of keys That's shared between them and the central server if you want to know about encryption keys watch our episode Our most our most shared episode of waveform icon in the seven keys of the internet bingo.
Let's go Encryption and encryption is where you and the final destination party have keys that correspond with one another So when it goes through it is never decrypted by the messaging services server. That's the difference I also have a correction that spoon album. I was recently I was referencing recently. It's not called hot hot rocks It's called hot thoughts.

No, that was one of them.
You said one carbon does it is it really helium? No, is it wait hold on wait, so it was a noble gas is noble gas you said noble gas it is a noble gas Yeah, which means it's lighter than Six protons no it means that it's very technical stuff for noble gases It means that it's outer shell of electrons is completely full you can't have oh, so sorry It's nitrogen one nitrogen one oxygen oxygen to oxygen to and it's not hydrogen. It's not helium. It's not It's like I'll give you a hint boron or something No, I'll give you a hint I really wanted some dried mangoes, but I can't have any because they are Throwing out they're out of date out of they Oxidized they they are gone.
