[1626.00 --> 1631.00] I'll post the Verge one here because I'm apparently, because that's the one I copied.
[1631.00 --> 1634.00] Although I'm still mad at them about that really stupid piece they did on Gamergate.
[1634.00 --> 1635.00] Yeah.
[1635.00 --> 1636.00] Um.
[1636.00 --> 1637.00] It was really stupid, but like, basically.
[1637.00 --> 1639.00] It was really stupid.
[1639.00 --> 1641.00] But like, basically everyone else has released stuff like that too.
[1641.00 --> 1643.00] That has talked about it.
[1643.00 --> 1644.00] That's true.
[1644.00 --> 1646.00] Everyone was stupid.
[1646.00 --> 1647.00] Yes.
[1647.00 --> 1650.00] But the Verges was like, late to the party and stupid.
[1650.00 --> 1651.00] That's true.
[1651.00 --> 1657.00] So they didn't have the advantage of not having everyone else's stupidity to look at and not follow them off the cliff like a lemming.
[1657.00 --> 1658.00] So, there you go.
[1658.00 --> 1659.00] Yep.
[1659.00 --> 1664.00] This is going to be called LinkNYC and they will be replacing 10,000 payphones.
[1664.00 --> 1666.00] I mean, who uses payphones?
[1666.00 --> 1674.00] With pylons, towers, posts, capable of providing free public wifi at gigabit speeds 24-7.
[1674.00 --> 1677.00] There's also a charging station for your mobile devices.
[1677.00 --> 1679.00] You can call any number domestically in the US.
[1679.00 --> 1685.00] And it features a tablet-like interface that can service, that can provide services like directions.
[1685.00 --> 1686.00] That's awesome.
[1686.00 --> 1688.00] Not paid for with taxpayer money.
[1688.00 --> 1693.00] Instead, it is advertiser driven and the residential version will not have ads.
[1693.00 --> 1698.00] The project is estimated to bring $500 million of revenue into New York City in its first 12 years.
[1698.00 --> 1700.00] And what a boon for the residents.
[1700.00 --> 1701.00] Brilliant.
[1701.00 --> 1704.00] New York City planners, you guys are awesome.
[1704.00 --> 1705.00] Your kids are awesome.
[1705.00 --> 1707.00] Your dogs are awesome.
[1707.00 --> 1709.00] And especially your ideas are awesome.
[1709.00 --> 1710.00] Mainly your dogs are awesome.
[1710.00 --> 1711.00] They wear rocket packs.
[1711.00 --> 1713.00] And they're super stoked when you come home.
[1713.00 --> 1715.00] That's how forward thinking they are.
[1715.00 --> 1716.00] Yeah.
[1716.00 --> 1722.00] Anyways, when you first said ads, I was working before the show so I didn't have a lot of time to...
[1722.00 --> 1724.00] Well, they're like big billboards on the pylons.
[1724.00 --> 1725.00] Yeah, like that's cool.
[1725.00 --> 1726.00] Like a bus stop.
[1726.00 --> 1727.00] I was like, oh, you're gonna inject ads in my browser all the time?
[1727.00 --> 1728.00] It's gonna suck.
[1728.00 --> 1730.00] Especially on mobile when you can't see anything already.
[1730.00 --> 1731.00] Right.
[1731.00 --> 1732.00] If it's on the side of the thing.
[1732.00 --> 1733.00] Like, it's New York City.
[1733.00 --> 1734.00] Stuff everywhere anyway.
[1734.00 --> 1735.00] Yeah.
[1735.00 --> 1737.00] If there was some tall written stuff.
[1738.00 --> 1739.00] I don't know if it's gonna really change much.
[1739.00 --> 1743.00] It's not confirmed whether seamless hopping from pylon to pylon will be supported.
[1743.00 --> 1747.00] So, you may have to treat it kind of like a phone booth.
[1747.00 --> 1752.00] You know, where you actually kind of have to stand next to it to make a call and then kind of boogie on to the next place.
[1752.00 --> 1753.00] I doubt it.
[1753.00 --> 1754.00] But...
[1754.00 --> 1762.00] And one concern that I have is if you're set up, and depending on the way the pylon works, like, even if you don't seamlessly roam, if you do...
[1762.00 --> 1767.00] If you do connection hop at all, every mobile OS...
[1767.00 --> 1768.00] Actually, I haven't tried Blackberry.
[1768.00 --> 1769.00] You have.
[1769.00 --> 1770.00] So maybe you can correct me on this.
[1770.00 --> 1771.00] It's been a long time.
[1771.00 --> 1772.00] Um, every...
[1772.00 --> 1779.00] iOS and Android, both of them handle degraded Wi-Fi connections extremely poorly.
[1779.00 --> 1783.00] And they don't switch over to mobile data nearly gracefully enough.
[1783.00 --> 1786.00] Windows Phone does it incredibly well.
[1786.00 --> 1787.00] It goes, oh, crap.
[1787.00 --> 1788.00] This is bad.
[1788.00 --> 1793.00] And switches over to your mobile data connection so you hardly even notice when you're browsing.
[1793.00 --> 1797.00] But that's a big issue when you're at the fringes of a Wi-Fi coverage zone.
[1797.00 --> 1810.00] So, if you were walking down the street doing something on your phone, then if you reach edges of these pylons all the time and you're automatically jumping on them, it could be very, very disruptive.
[1810.00 --> 1813.00] So, that's just my one thought on it.
[1813.00 --> 1814.00] Yeah.
[1814.00 --> 1817.00] Other than that, it's amazing in every way.
[1817.00 --> 1819.00] Have you used ShotGo Wi-Fi?
[1819.00 --> 1820.00] Yeah, I have.
[1820.00 --> 1821.00] It's surprisingly good.
[1821.00 --> 1822.00] Yep.
[1822.00 --> 1824.00] And I wouldn't be surprised if it worked something like that.
[1824.00 --> 1832.00] Yeah, so the way that works is the internet provider that I'm on, just by being a customer, they have Wi-Fi hotspots in all kinds of places.
[1832.00 --> 1835.00] Like, they're all named the same thing and they're all open.
[1835.00 --> 1838.00] So, you automatically connect and then there's like a web sign in thing.
[1838.00 --> 1839.00] Yeah.
[1839.00 --> 1841.00] But it's really good at remembering your account.
[1841.00 --> 1842.00] Like, really, really good.
[1842.00 --> 1847.00] So, every single time that it detects this open network, your phone will connect to it and it signs in immediately and it's all fine.
[1847.00 --> 1848.00] Yeah, it's super cool.
[1848.00 --> 1852.00] Like, even my, I don't know, what are they called?
[1852.00 --> 1853.00] Baby doctor.
[1853.00 --> 1854.00] Uh...
[1854.00 --> 1855.00] Whatever.
[1855.00 --> 1858.00] The family doctor for my wife's pregnancies.
[1858.00 --> 1861.00] Like, their waiting room has a shot open hotspots.
[1861.00 --> 1862.00] It's like, awesome, yay!
[1862.00 --> 1863.00] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1863.00 --> 1865.00] I guess I won't be using my mobile data right now.
[1865.00 --> 1866.00] Right.
[1866.00 --> 1867.00] Okay.
[1867.00 --> 1873.00] Uh, Dell's UP2715K 5K monitor.
[1873.00 --> 1877.00] This was rumored to be coming in at $2,500.
