The sass from Riley in this video is off the charts, I love it.

He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He's knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake.

Nest Hub: "You should go to bed early today." Me: "You're so needy. My ex Alexa was like that. Don't be like Alexa."

“These let you use air gestures just like you didn’t with the pixel 4” Fixed it for you.

You know it's a problem when you see the thumbnail and instantly think it's a Techlinked video instead of a one from the main channel.

Heh? And now Linus intercepted the video.

If it can’t record my dreams and play them back for me when I wake up then I don’t care.

Can I just say that I LOVE Riley? His humor is so great and videos with him are always worth watching. Super glad that LMG extends their on-screen cast past Linus himself.

Clever to put announcement audio and play b roll

"Because I care about you." Made me feel way happier than it should have. 😳

That "Again, no." absolutely killed me lmfaoo

The 'Internet of Things' is a lesson in not only how to get people to agree to having their house bugged, but making them pay for the service themselves.

Wow those questions were not as easy as it thought, didn’t get a card but it was pretty fun to play!

Riley is just a great host. He threads the needle between information and comedy really well. Enjoyed this one!

I just see this as not something people realized they wanted but Google realizing sleep data is something they wanted.

If I had to let one company track my sleep, I’d definitely want it to be the company that makes the majority of its money selling your information to the highest bidder.

BUT, there is something new.. the sleep tracking... - "W A I T , W H A T ' S T H I S ? I T 'S V E R I F I E D A C T U A L G A M E R D R O P T I M E L A D I E S A N D G E N T L E M E N"

This really seemed like something for short circuit rather than thet main channel to be honest

Let me gather ALL THE SLEEP DATA!!!! p.s. you farted 12 times get a colonoscopy ~ Google Sense

I spit all my coffee laughing when he made that face after saying "minimalistic"

This was probably the stealthiest drop yet. Getting ahead of the dudes who were scrubbing through the video to check for drops. I'd love to see how people work around this one!

The thought of putting a google-controlled camera right next to my bed is enough to make my skin crawl.

Love the random DROP in the middle. This is a great way to actually get this to actual people. Fantastic work.

Now THIS is Riley. Not the one just in TechLinked. That one's clearly a deepfake

I hear you got the audio mixing booth working, am I right?

3:08 I checked every tab searching for the other LTT video playing

i am so happy you guys fixed the aspect ratio of your videos to make them normal.

I love how the video was intercepted and with B roll of the product so people cant skip through and look for Linus. Very clever. Go get that VAG guys.

Google knows that Riley needs all of these. And even more...

Just looked at the gauntlet for SnGs... you gonna REALLY want a card to get one from Linus. Good Job!

Finally! I was worried that Google only tracks my every waking moment, what about all those non-waking moments! How else am I going to get better targeted ads?!

Damn I was too late! I hope you guys enjoy your new hardware :)

Riley, the answer to your question is never gonna be that they think you need it, they think it’ll make them more money

Riley's hair wave starts reaching epic proportions - soon the can film the final scene of Point Break Redux on his forehead :)

*sees a video early for once* *Goes to the website* N O S T O C K

Irony: One of the reasons I lose sleep in the first place is because of knowing how insanely invasive all this stuff has become.

That was the most stressful 15 minutes of my life. Trying not to get fired from work and getting though the gauntlet at the same time ! Lol

Wow this Riley guy is pretty good, he should host a tech news channel!

Products/Solutions for sleep/better sleep ll be gold

I love the lighting and set in this video

"Again, no" that intro killed me 🤣

Ah, I can look back at my distorted sleep schedule finally

6:15 you are a great actor Riley, good job!

Keep being you Riley. Always put a smile on my face.

Seems like a useless 'refresh'. Sounds like they just wanted a reason to justify always on microphones and motion sensors/cameras which track you.

When you grew up in an era when "smart" devices didn't exist. The whole idea of a "smart" home is terrifying.

Looks like the only honest and comprehensive review on youtube

The way they actually put the graphics card part into the video is very smart

This seems more like a ShortCircuit video.

5:30 No Riley, that's not just you 🙈

Whoa Riley that was a really minimalist look at this minimalist thing.

you're so right about the Soli chip these gestures they showed off in 2015 have so much potential, but they still haven't managed to implement it in an actually useful manner

Yea I really want a device in my house that can tell people exactly when I’m gonna be asleep.

Lol, clicked it within 45 seconds of it being live. Learns its been seen by others an hour ago. Glad there wasnt a GPU drop lol...... Oh wait.....

Every day we get closer to the ads served directly to your dreaming brain like in futurama

this video got some hearty chuckles out of me

That quiz was crazy hard, guess you gotta be a variety gamer to one shot it

I'm not a certified gamer despite my steam library being full to the brim :(

Nice review, I found it informative with good pros and cons.

I've noticed that a couple of videos have this cinematic, greyish tone to them It's nice

I feel like these gaming questions have gotten a lot harder / not as mainstream but I am glad the program is still going strong.

You know what I actually paid attention to that ad. I bet I could memorize it if I listen back to it once more.

well... you were right... that went incredibly fast!!!

Great to see a video presented by Riley! More please!

Who needs sleep tracking, when I always sleep about 3 hours a day xD

When you miss a drop, but it’s only an AMD card.

My Nest Hub is in the bedroom. So, yeah, the glass set on top of the frame definitely will help out resisting "gunk" on some of the wilder nights.

Riley is so good at making me laugh at things that weren't meant to be funny

Shouldn't have read the comments, now I wished I'd watched it earlier

video: 10 minutes long people 2 minutes after : "wow nice video google trash "

Riley's content has been my favorite lately.

Sweet dreams are made of these. I traveled the world and the seven seas. I am watching you through a camera!

Sure, cos I really want an always-on internet connected surveillance device in my home.

I track my sleep by looking at a clock before and after I sleep. Crazy I know.

Riley killed it in this video. Nicely done.

It's really great that with all the Google linked appliances in the smart home it makes it even easier to make a virtual you/your partner or kids. Sleep patterns, activities, what you eat, how long and far your commute is, whether you are faithful to your partner or doing/ buying dodgy stuff - all for your convenience...

3:31 this is the most I have regretted in my life for not opening the notification for this video earlier and missing verified actual gamer

The google nest hub, is and could be a good tool. Although amazon alexa is one of the more most known devices out there, this new nest hub by google could be a hit. But some things aren’t as good with it. Meaning it doesn’t have a variety of things as the amazon echo has.

It's not about you need it or want it. It'll be MANDATORY to have this active at all times.

"Why are you so laggy?" That is most appropriate question for this thing!

The video just got unlisted while i'm watching.😆😆

I love how you hid that verified gamer program under b roll footage, so that people scrolling through wouldn't find out.

Seems like a neat idea, a remote control without needing a remote control, your hand is the control and you'll never lose that in between the couch cushions, hopefully. I hope they do more with it.

Grats to whoever won the drop :)

"Let me tell you why you should install spyware in your home!"

cant afford the card but still passed the quiz, getting ready for cheaper drops! good luck everyone

Riley is such a natural presenter! Need more content of this :D

Damn. After tech-linked, this Riley is soooooooo CALM!

Good luck for all the actual gamers looking to get verified! I’m a bit late so your fate must have already been sealed...

This gamer gauntlet is basically impossible ! This is beyond making sure it's real people and real gamers. It's all FPS questions, people who play other types of games are gamers too!

The new nest thermostat also has solei sensors, it turns on the display as you approach, it does a pretty good job and doesn't use much battery, but that doesn't use it for gesture based control, so in fairness it's good for some things

Finally got my mouse mat! Thanks for the hint that they were back in stock!

1 hour ago? I just got notified for this!

I like how we hid the drop in the middle of the most useless product ever, lmao. Good luck to all gamers! -Friendly Mac user 🥰

"We need to take back control and have control over our products. Currently, Google Nest 7-inch speaker screen has a serious problem ever since their most recent update. We suspect it may have something to do with the Thread protocol for low-latency IoT devices, as it has disabled user control over the service port. In the previous version, the speaker screen can use an Ethernet adapter, using the standard Ethernet protocol in user mode. This allowed it to function like a PC, simply requesting internet access. However, with the new update, it forcefully requires a Wi-Fi connection for hardware reasons instead of seeing the ethernet adapter right away and using that as its gateway. The more Wi-Fi products you have that you cannot physically control, the more potential security holes are created. We are well aware that IoT devices often have security vulnerabilities, and this new update opens a potential security hole for anyone to exploit, especially now that it operates on the IoT-centric Thread protocol. This change means that once someone gains access to your network through a network hole, they can easily navigate their way to the rest of your network. In contrast, the previous version acted as a PC, using layman's terms, and only requested internet access. Other Google products still operate in this manner, acting as simple internet access devices even with USB ethernet adapter is connected to them. The Nest Hub's 7-inch screen acts as the master device and will disable your entire network if it is plugged into an Ethernet adapter. This is because it attempts to simultaneously use the Thread protocol and an Ethernet adapter. However, disabling the service port as a direct user mode Ethernet connection is not the only problem. Many people around the world prefer and require Ethernet products for various reasons, one being that radio frequencies can cause migraines for some individuals. There is an area in the United States called the **National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ) facilitate scientific research and the gathering of military intelligence ncludes portions of West Virginia, Virginia, and a small part of Maryland which is a large area of land designated as a radio quiet zone. transmissions are restricted by law to facilitate scientific research and the gathering of military intelligence Everything there operates on either old-school or direct connections, with no Wi-Fi, cellular, or radio. Unfortunately, not everyone can live in such a city, so many of us do our best by using as many Ethernet products as possible, not only for security but also for health reasons and a lot of people deliberately move therefore medical reasons as well , unfortunately we all can't do that. However, with the removal of the Ethernet user mode, it is no longer possible to use Ethernet-based products with Wi-Fi-based products together in certain scenarios. If you have a group speaker system or nearby speakers for communication, you cannot have them grouped together. It's a choice between using all Ethernet or all Wi-Fi. Since Wi-Fi still operates on a "wait your turn" protocol, proper synchronization does not occur, leading to frequent signal interruptions. If you attempt to use both Wi-Fi and Ethernet together, problems arise. For instance, if one speaker is near another speaker, both may try to respond simultaneously. Due to Wi-Fi delays, systems can easily become confused, answering the wrong unit or misinterpreting questions, statements, or requests. This causes further headaches and frustration when simple commands cannot be processed, even if you are just one foot away from the intended product, as a product located 10 feet away or more may somehow hear it first due to Wi-Fi delays but if they were all ethernet connected which they used to be that would not be a problem simply because ethernet is not on a wait your turn basis and hardware can understand who comes first via ethernet instead of wait your turn Wi-Fi. Honestly, these products need more user interface options, allowing users to choose the protocols they want to use. For example, users should be able to decide whether they want to use the Thread network or use a product as a router. Users should also have control over how they want to use the Ethernet adapter and many other features. Since it's a closed network, where Google could easily provide a simple interface where users can go through the options and select their preferences. This way, users can ensure their security, health, peace of mind, and sanity are not compromised, instead of leaving everything solely up to Google's control. We need more choices and control over our hardware. It's not that difficult to implement software for hardware and offer users special screens that ask how they want to use new features or whether they want to enable specific functionalities. Unfortunately, Google seems unwilling to give users more control. If this trend continues, we could find ourselves in a situation reminiscent of George Orwell's novel '1984,' where the speaker dictates what we should and shouldn't do. We have recently witnessed an incident with Amazon's speaker system and delivery company disabling their hardware because they falsely accused someone of being racist. It is crucial that we take back control."

This concept was so amazing when I had a Sony Dash a decade or so ago, sad to see it's only come this far since.

I don't want something to track my sleep, if it did it would probably call an emergency number automatically.

Damn I missed the 6800xt drop😩

you can use hand gestures on the 1st gen too!

this time the link was not blocked, but I was late, good to know that there is a chance for VAG
