PLEASE LINUS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
USE THE GREEN SCREEN FOR TECHQUICKY NOT TECHTIPS, USE A SET OR SOMETHING WITH PERSONALITY.
pheew :D
SouthConcepts - Graphic Design Artist. A kitchen perhaps..
+SouthConcepts - Graphic Design Artist. They will, once they have their shit set up.
SouthConcepts - Graphic Design Artist. I agree with Arkanterian, Give these guys some time to set up, hell you see how the building looks from the Moving Vlogs
343eric Moving vlogs are like 2-3 weeks old.
I love the fun nature of the animations!
Apple watch sucks :)
+DarkEnderDragon54 watch linus's video
TH-camWatcher24/7 congrats on your opinion
But why I have the apple watch and it works perfectly looks good does everything I want it to and battery lasts the whole day. Just because you're to poor to afford it doesn't mean you can shit on it.
TH-camWatcher24/7 the watch does not suck, their brainless fans that stand in front of the store for 3 days are the ones that suck.
[there is nothing wrong with being an apple fan, but if you camp in front of their store for days or go into debt for the latest device then you are giving humanity a bad name]
+TH-camWatcher24/7 Okay yeah mate, I don't see your billions of dollars in your bank accounts
And I'm still here perfectly fine with my original Pebble.
of course they sold that many iwatches (fuck you cook i say wha i want), they have so many people that buy it only for the fact that its a new apple product. like a collection hunter some apple fans have to have it all regardless of actual functionallity or price/perfomance
Frederik Olsen Also that's just the first day. I'd like to know how it went on overtime because honestly its overpriced junk.
Frederik Olsen can`t agree more
Cook?!
Umar Ahmed and here we have a classic example of an iFag
If Apple would release iToilet all Applefanboys would buy it...
Another awesome video Linus! Keep it up!
Pebble: "Let's make something useful that doesn't cost a million dollars"
Apple: "LETS COAT AN IPOD NANO IN GOLD AND SELL IT FOR $20 000"
Rest in peace, pebble. Still using my Time to this very day.
6:15
YA REALLY NEED A FLICKA DA WRIST
This video couldn't have been released at a better time. Just started researching more about upgrading my original Pebble! Having some problems with screen artifacting, but Pebble support has been fantastic so far, so I have no doubt that they will be able to solve my issue.
Was waiting for this. It's Time.
STOP.
Pebble Time ;)
About the viewing angle issue you mentioned, the steel has the screen closer to the plastic, and therefore has better viewing angles. Might be worth checking out.
Even a painted watch on the arm is better than the apple one.
+Cefa ok
Cefa ok
+Cefa Doubt it.
+jayw900 Better battery life and price though lol.
Cefa It's a hair past a freckle :D
Who really went to "brandons house" at 3:41?
AWSOME vid! the plug at the end was very smooth as well! Great job.
the music part of this watch is awesome linus
3:40 hope thats not his real address
Lol it's a actual place called Brandon's house that gives counselling to teenagers
rai ZOR It isn't, it is in america which where Brandon Doesn't live.
+Deathsc0ut HD somewhere in BC, i dont think he would drive over 1 hour to get from vancouver to cloverdale or some shit
+rai ZOR he lives in our hearts
i didnt stay up to watch this i want office moves
Sameee
No more moving vlogs
Holy shit, that ad transition was flawless, I didn't even realize it was an ad until you popped up the website!
Awesome Video, I had been waiting for it! I'll be switching to the pebble time steel from my vanilla steel. Pebble has completely won me over!
While I am particular and picky about a lot of the tech that I use, viewing angles are something I can live with :)
if the Apple Watch boom isnt the definition of Brand Name Marketing, i dont know what is.
***** No, not really. Remember apple watch is most common smart watch
***** And be very sad about their purchase and be answering questions on why they use a watch in the day and age of a smartphone and dont give me the "very busy people that need the time fast" bull. as reg watch does the same thing and looks better and it's battery lasts longer if you were to use one.
Beats!
GamingRisen Yeah, for sure. If some other company had released a product identical to the apple watch it would have gotten way less sales.
*****
sadly, All Apple has to do now is say "It's an Apple" and they’ll get hundreds of thousands of sales.
Is Pebble Time sort of like Geological time?
heh heh
I think too many people take geologic jokes for granite these days.
***** this is the schist I'm talking about
+Everett Barnes That pun rocks
you breccia it does!
I fucking hate you guys lmao
I love your guys channel I always watch it never put my eyes off of it
I really love my Pebble Classic. I remember trying out a prototype a few months before the original release, and I was in aw.
*awe
5:59 is that said "fap" ? ﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ O'RLY?
+Eragon86micky "All Day - FAP", is Linus a teenage boy again??
Fast As Possible
Hey is it Worth it to get the pebble classic in September 2016? Does it cover the basics???
get the pebble 2 or time 2 coming out soon
If it's just basics you want, the Pebble original is the best you can get for the price it's currently at.
Arjun Jaswal well, not anymore considering all of them have been cancelled
In case you're still wondering, the classic Pebble is still a decent buy and can be had for ULTRA cheap (Looking at $30 for a decent one) but do be aware, there's an issue that will eventually effect ALL classic Pebbles where the screen stops working over time. Sadly, this screen problem also affects the classic Pebble Steel.
If it's in the budget and you only want one, I would definitely suggest shooting a bit higher and getting yourself a Pebble Time. The Pebble Time doesn't have the screen tearing issue the original Pebble has, and gets you a color screen. I got my Time for $60, and ordered a $25 Bepple edge guard for it.
That was the best embedded ad to date. Do more of this.
Yessss. Been waiting for this video since I saw it on your wrist, Linus :)
That's all good and well, but it's ugly...
Just wait for the Pebble Time Steel.
I will, but that thing there looks like it came from poundland :p
just put tinfoil and get sum sweg dimonds.
I thought that but then my friend got one and it looks really good IRL IMO
Actually Linus, I'll like the video if I like the video... at the end of the video, if I like the video...
Would love a final tour of the new place! Vlog style! Keep up the good work!
I love how Linus describes the timeline day animation so much.
"As you move between days it's like this little... SUN! Boopadoopaboopadoop"
Gonna get one in 2019. Dont care what people say. 👍🔥
good for you bro
I honestly do not understand this habit of smartwatches: the battery is just too short-lived and they do nothing that your smartphone already do - on a larger screen. Is just sparing a couple of seconds to get the phone out worth having the wrist encumbered by a device worth some hundreds of dollars?
Lord Ultor Yes it is. It's great when I'm carrying groceries, sitting in a movie theatre with my phone on silent, at the airport with my phone in my sling bag, just out on a walk holding my girlfriend's hand. at home when my phone is on my night table and I'm on the computer. You can gauge if the notification is worth picking your phone up or not, act on them if they need simple answers, etc. Oh.. and it's a watch, like it tells you the time. Battery life is a non issue, I just plug mine at the same time I plug my smart phone : just before going to bed.
Evens Lamarre And this ladies and gentlemen is why we have a serious obesity issue, people are even to lazy to pick up there freaking phones if they don't have to.
Lord Ultor
I can't really say much about the Pebble, but I do have a moto 360 and I think it is pretty nice to be able to just look at your wrist to see a text message and say "Ok Google" to reply. Using voice commands to get directions while driving is very handy too. I guess you just have to use one for a while to see the usefulness of it. It's not something that is necessary, but it is very handy, convenient, and just makes life a bit easier. The Moto 360 just came down in price to $150, I'd consider that to be very reasonable. Also, I don't think battery life is a big issue as long as you remember to charge it every night.
+Lord Ultor You could argue that remote controls for the TV are also useless because you could change the channel from the buttons on the TV (exaggerated example but you get the picture of what I want to say). There are many situations in which a smartwatch has its purpose. You could be in another room when it rings, doing the dishes for example, you look at the watch and see it's maybe some telemarketer who was calling you for the 5th time this day and know you don't have to rush to your phone. I know it's just a trivial example, but things like this add up and there are many more situations that are not so insignificant, at least to some people.
There are people who don't have a need for a smartwatch or even a normal watch (I hardly see watches anymore), but to some it has. And if you like how it looks and do wear a watch for the most time anyway, why not have some extra functionality?
DanielRichards644 yeah, I can jog a half marathon in 1:40mins. Do you know how I know I can do that? because of my watch tracking my distance, time, heart rate and calories burned. I'm quite the opposite of fat and lazy and my watch kinda helps reminding me to go for that daily run with a gentle tap on the wrist.
nice to see lighting issues are fixed.
Ayyy the strokes-hard to explain, nice
Buy a regular watch, that's all!
Negnav123 All the smartwatch hype made me buy an Omega Speedmaster \m/
ahpadt lol Omega FTW!
ahpadt Fuck yeah dude! Great choice.
It's leik 5 bucks ur right
Apple gets a bunch of sales because of bandwagons. People think its cool but its actually old garbage that was already created but in another design and a logo which buffs up the price.
iLoveGlue GTFO windows fan boy !
iLoveGlue jk
YOU BETTER BE KIDDING! ... Damn Asians these days.!
MMORAMPAGE
Hey! DONT TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT NOOB :P
MMORAMPAGE what glue said
Great video, seems like a nice smart watch for simple usage
RIP in pieces pebble.
2012-2016
I like how Linus hates Apple and rants about it, then his profile picture is him cpoying Steve Jobs....
Gtx Titan x giveaway 123 123 123 123 123
Wrong video but I commented too haha
+berzu21 i would rather be made of titan than have fury
Door GIVEAWAY!! TYPE 123 IN THE CHAT!
Linus you're face when you walked away was funny, funny enough for me to comment about it apparently.
The pebble time steels screen is right behind the frontpanel btw, i believe its bonded to it. And it even doesnt look fugly.
smartwatch is one of the dumbest gadget you can buy
-the end-
I'm quite sure that someone said that about smart phones a few years ago
PyyR2324 The watch has no practical use that a smartphone doesn't fill other than sitting on your wrist, I mean I got some tape if u want ur phone there.
PyyR2324 and what does that have to do with smart watches? what possible thing could justify buying it? take it to the logical conclusion. even if it had a battery life of forever and the computing power of a supercomputer it's still just an inconveniently usable thing strapped to your hand.
Keep saying that 30 years from now bud
+Yes Im Going To Be That Guy popularity =/= being useful/logical
That is one ugly watch.
+Bhavesh Mistry Still looks better than the apple watch lol
4473021 Are you crazy or something?
4473021 lol, I think u lack something very important in ur life, eyeballs.
Bhavesh Mistry Could not say it any better.. Or he's just mad he can't afford quality
Bhavesh Mistry The Steel is prettier for sure.
A Pebble employee said the Time does have viewing angle issues, due to the panel to plastic gap you mentioned, but the Time Steel panel is bonded directly against the glass, and is far better. As long as I have even a small amount of light somewhere in the room, I can see my screen just fine at a little over 45 degrees off center in any direction. May not sound like much, stated that way, but it means I can look at it without any effort or thought as to the angle I'm holding it.
By small amount of light, the 46 inch screen across the room from my couch that I'm typing this on is the brightest thing in the room, the rest is soft indirect lighting, for reference.
I WANT TO WIN THE TITAN X YASSS
Wrong video
+maikel ris haha I know lol
maikel ris Let him dream man
+Jack Anthony McLean thank you
+maikel ris i rather him "enter" the giveaway here then in the correct video XD
Great insight Linus.
Still love my original Pebble for a list of reasons. The main reason is kinda silly though. That is the side mounted magnetic charge port. So quick to juice up for a few minutes on a quick car ride on a quick errand. 5-10 mins is good for another day or two on a Pebble. I never have to take my watch off. For anything.
I am still rocking my Pebble Time Steel. It is durable, gives long battery life (I last charged mine 6 days ago, despite being years old), easy to use, I can quickly use it even with gloves on (thank you physical buttons instead of touch screen!), and uses standard watch bands.
Here it is 7 years later, and no one else is able to fully replace it. Hell, most current gen watches only have 24-48 hour battery life when new.
it was nice getting to see you at vlogger fair Linus. Thanks for stopping by.
I actually love my apple watch. It's a pretty watch, a good fitness tracker, the haptic feedback is the best in the market for notifications, it truly feels like somebody's gently tapping your wrist, Screen turns on swiftly every time I flick my wrist to look at it. Force touch is unique and new so even if the implementation isn't everywhere for now, Devs will use it more and more, Battery is never an issue as I plug it in every nigh with 50-60% remaining depending. I once went on two days without problems. pretty impressed for a first gen product still running the first version of the OS.
And now the updates have made it even better.
I actually love the transitions.
finally!! I was waiting for this video
Wow the audio quality drop on that massdrop ad was jarring
I mean you guys have great audio, but that was unexpected
The pebble steel addresses the screen viewing angle issues, I'd watch your take on it.
Like the orange backdrop as well.
5:20. I agree. Back in the nokia days, i memorized how to navigate to the games, call and text menu. I used to whip out a call in 5s.
The angle issue will be resolved with the Pebble Time Steel. Hopefully you ordered a steel too and will review that once it comes out in a month or 2.
I seriously miss your old background
but change is a good thing so good luck in the future :D
Just a quick note. The pebble time steel is going to have the display fused to the covering glass, so that will eliminate the issues with depth/viewing angles!
Coming tomorrow can't wait
LINUS!! WE LOVE MORE MOVING VLOGS!!!
The extra functionality and the price are awesome!
Well, the pebble time steel now has a display closer to the screen so the viewing angles are better.
i love my time, the first pebble had issues but was solid. im glad i upgraded. however im soon gonna upgrade to a moto watch as it works the way i need it to whereas the pebble time is not only dying after only 2 or 3 days of use as opposed to its usual 7-8 i was getting, it doesnt have the notification control i needed it still sends me gmail notifications after ive entered quiet time.
You should look at the pebble time steel as it has the LCD glued to the glass so it will appear closer and maybe fix your complaint about viewing the screen.
Are we getting a steel review ser linus? Also, how hard did you hit that watch? The screens all jacked up!
hey Linus i don't know if you will read this but i just thought id let u know that today i just finished my first ever PC build at the age of 15. I really don't think i would have been able to, let alone even considered a self build if it hadent been for your videos. I wanted to say thank you for all your great tutorials and other funny and entertaining videos that made me able to make my dream a reality
Got the original pebble when it first came out and when it was the only smartwatch around, and I still use it as my day-to-day watch. I'll probably get the time soon and I have always preferred pebble for my watches since the launch.
In Pebble Time Steel the screen is actually glued to the glass. So that might actually improve the screen visibility.
I have a Garmin vivoactive and it lasts weeks. I have no issues with it connecting to my phone (iPhone 5s). I was considering an Apple watch but couldn't support it at that price-point, just too much for what it does. Happy with my purchase for my uses.
Good video and review
I've had the same problem with the back-light not turning on "easily" when flicking my wrists. I think they need to make the sensitivity variable.
Maybe the Pebble Time Steel is worth a try. The screen is bonded much closer to the glass than the Pebble Time, and the more substantial weight feels excellent! Not to mention the band is one of the most comfortable I've ever worn, much better than the one that comes with the LG Watch R
Its memory LCD, like in an old digital watch that lasted for months/years. E-paper is a marketing word meant to sound like e-ink which is an actual display technology.
I watched the wan show archive where you talked about this video last night!
this is so well made! the quality hurts my eyes!
another great vid
I hear the Time Steel has the screen much closer to the glass, so it should be much easier to view.
I love that grunt at 7:59
I bought one today and this thing is freaking amazing and surprisingly comfortable to wear :)
I know, the best
Nice vid linus!
Linus, the pebble time steel's screen is laminated to the glass, so it solves your viewing angle problem
What about the Pebble Time Steel? I've heard the screen is closer to the glass which allows for less glare and a bigger battery allows for longer battery life.
They need to make an exact prop of their old kitchen, reminds me of the good ole' days.
the pebble time steel has the screen optically bonded to the front plastic screen so that should fix the viewing angles
that pebble took some serious hits lol
Good job Linus. You should review the Pebble Time Steel next, I think you'll like the fact that it has better viewing angles than the Time.
This almost made me cry.
Oh I remember this! I had one last year. It made my wrist go numb and it never recovered
Sounds like the Pebble Time Steel might be your watch then. I hear its bonded to the front panel display is less dim and has improved viewing angles.
Wait for the pebble time steel. It's not going to have a gap between the glass and the screen from what I've seen so far. Might fix the viewing angle problem.
Hey Linus, I would really like some advice. I am going to be building a gaming PC around December, and I have two cpu and gpu setups I am considering.
Either an Intel i5 6600k with an amd Radeon r9 390
Or an Intel i5 4690k with a nvidia GeForce gtx 980
Now going with the 980 I have to make some compromises like going without an ssd and having to go with a less efficient semi modular psu.
In both builds I will be running a cpu liquid cooler and I will be over cocking the CPUs.
Which build will get me better gaming performance now and in the future?
Thanks, Nick.
*side note* If you would like to see the full builds I can send you a link to them on pcpartspicker.
You should review the Microsoft Band, I love it for all me texts, emails and fitness tracking!
Yay the strokes!
3:41 and there is the adress for brandon's house, good job linus
I'm building my own PC. My carpet is mostly carpet and i have a old wood table with metal legs. If i attach the anti static wrist strap to the leg of the table will i be grounded and be able to touch my PC parts while standing on the carpet.
Can you just be moving for ever, the moving vlogs are your best videos
