26.84 -> thank you
29.039 -> thank you
31.019 -> so I've been on the internet for a long
33.36 -> time and most of it
35.52 -> at least where I hang out pretty
37.079 -> reasonable which is great but you know
39.3 -> there are some tucked away in the
41.76 -> corners every once in a while that do
44.16 -> have some pretty controversial opinions
46.98 -> things that they actually believe in
48.899 -> some hot takes that are guaranteed to
51.719 -> ruffle some feathers
53.76 -> but sometimes there is some truth to
56.64 -> them so today I've gathered some of the
58.32 -> hottest takes from around the internet
59.76 -> from you guys and we're gonna see
61.739 -> they're actually good takes or not also
63.96 -> I need to thank Jimmy hyrueller for the
65.88 -> concept for this video if you haven't
67.439 -> already seen his channel he does a lot
69.36 -> of basketball videos including reacting
71.46 -> to NBA hot takes they're incredible so
75.24 -> if you somehow if you're interested in
76.619 -> basketball and somehow haven't seen this
77.76 -> channel already I'll link it below but
80.22 -> uh let's get into some tech hot takes so
82.619 -> here's a hot take Tesla cyber truck will
85.799 -> outsell the Ford F-150 by 2026 and this
90.42 -> well this is a hot one so the Cyber
94.02 -> truck the Cyber truck is one of the most
95.939 -> hyped vehicles in a long time as long as
98.759 -> I've been alive certainly the most hyped
100.68 -> EV you know the numbers speak for
102.06 -> themselves but now they're actually
103.86 -> being spotted around the roads around
105.72 -> Tesla headquarters and it seems like
107.34 -> they're finishing up details of
108.659 -> manufacturing and design and they may be
111.84 -> about to finally go into production with
114.479 -> this thing now the hot take is that
116.04 -> it'll outsell the F-150 in three years
118.079 -> because the F-150 as you may already
120.96 -> know is very popular but the thing is
124.68 -> I don't know if you thought about this
125.88 -> is you're typing it I don't know if you
128.099 -> realize how popular the F-150 actually
131.58 -> is the Ford F-150 has been America's
134.76 -> best-selling truck for 46 years in a row
139.379 -> actually it's been the number one most
141.959 -> popular vehicle for 41 years straight
145.86 -> last year Ford sold one of these trucks
148.739 -> every 49 seconds and it typically totals
151.56 -> anywhere from 600 000 to just under a
154.92 -> million of these things every single
157.2 -> calendar year so yeah the Cyber truck
159.599 -> very hyped and there are allegedly
162 -> somewhere in the neighborhood of one and
164.459 -> a half million pre-orders which is crazy
167.34 -> for a vehicle that's not even out yet
169.019 -> that only a handful of people have even
170.64 -> seen with their eyes but a couple of
172.8 -> things first of all those pre-orders are
176.16 -> 100
177.5 -> deposits I know that because I'm one of
180.3 -> them I think they're actually hundred
181.86 -> dollar refundable deposits the point
184.44 -> being one and a half million pre-orders
186.78 -> does not not equal one and a half
188.4 -> million sales it's just it's just that
190.98 -> many people have reserved their spot in
192.84 -> line and some fraction of them will
194.879 -> convert to orders but it won't be a
197.04 -> hundred percent and Tesla knows that but
198.84 -> then number two you can't just build
201.72 -> them all at once you have to ramp up
203.879 -> into production we've seen this with
205.44 -> other models before so you know they'll
207.3 -> start off small a couple dozen one week
209.64 -> then a hundred the next week then 500
212.34 -> the next week and they'll have to ramp
213.9 -> up it'll take a while to get through the
215.819 -> first million easily well over a year
218.519 -> like at this very moment Tesla doesn't
220.5 -> even have the capacity to make a million
222.72 -> model threes let alone a million of
225.18 -> something they've never made before so
226.86 -> you know we could we could be optimistic
228.48 -> about the manufacturing process but it
230.519 -> is it's going to be tough to get to a
232.62 -> million of these things sold and
234.599 -> dethroning the King by 2026. so I love
238.62 -> the optimism about that cyber truck
240.599 -> possibly being one of the most
242.099 -> disruptive vehicles ever maybe could
245.159 -> happen but it's going to take a little
247.08 -> more time than that
248.4 -> bad take all right here's another one
250.22 -> that Apple Maps is now better than
254.34 -> Google Maps and this is this is a
258.12 -> interesting take do you remember when
259.919 -> Apple Maps first came out like all the
261.479 -> the horror stories the articles that all
263.94 -> came out how bad it was there were
265.74 -> entire towns missing there were places
267.66 -> that were just in the wrong spot it was
270.24 -> getting people lost driving them into
272.16 -> water it was it was missing a ton of
274.02 -> features it was so bad that Tim Cook the
277.5 -> CEO had to issue an apology but
280.8 -> a lot of things have changed since then
282.54 -> basically I mean having a good maps app
284.52 -> requires a lot of mapping data so
287.1 -> they've been plugging away at that since
289.44 -> that launch of course all the street
291 -> view data the correct location data
293.46 -> businesses public transportation
296 -> different actual routes real-time
298.86 -> traffic all that stuff they've improved
300.54 -> dramatically at all of that plus they've
303.78 -> actually started adding some genuinely
305.28 -> cool features on top of it I can
307.5 -> actually vouch that if you look at
309.3 -> Google Street View and apple map Street
311.639 -> View in the same location nine times out
314.46 -> of ten the Apple Maps one is actually
316.32 -> higher quality and smoother and looks
318.66 -> better it's easier to navigate I also
320.58 -> think Apple Maps is generally better
322.919 -> designed it's just a little better
324.18 -> looking than Google Maps and as of the
327 -> latest IOS 17 beta it's actually finally
329.1 -> getting one of the biggest features that
330.9 -> was missing which is downloading maps
333.36 -> for offline finally I'm not ready to say
336.479 -> that Apple Maps is better than Google
339.06 -> Maps yet I mean espe actually because
341.34 -> first of all it's multi-platform it's
343.8 -> just so much more available and then the
346.139 -> decades-long Head Start that Google's
348.06 -> had in mapping and gathering information
349.68 -> in the most obscure parts of the world
351.6 -> like it's going to take some time for
353.759 -> Apple to continue to catch up with that
355.5 -> but I will say that it's at least
358.56 -> caught up to Google Maps they're on the
360.84 -> same level they're actually competitors
362.28 -> which is good because now they compete
364.08 -> to try to get better and for certain
365.94 -> people in some places sometimes it's
369.06 -> just as good if not better than Google
371.4 -> Maps there I said it
373.139 -> I said it
374.699 -> it's a good take the Magic Mouse is the
377.699 -> best Mouse
378.96 -> for the Mac
384.6 -> you know y'all are really pushing this
386.639 -> one I
387.96 -> let's just ignore the take for a second
390.24 -> and just talk about them how does the
392.46 -> Magic Mouse exist like how is this the
395.699 -> best mouse that Apple the world's
397.919 -> richest three trillion dollar company
400.5 -> could come up with well over billions of
403.139 -> dollars of research and development
404.34 -> dollars and the best designers in the
406.319 -> world and all the testing and
408.06 -> optimizations and strategy on the planet
410.699 -> this is the best mouse that they could
413.34 -> come up with seriously sorry I should I
415.86 -> should be more objective here what makes
418.02 -> a good Mouse
419.22 -> zoom out a little bit good design good
422.88 -> performance good features good price
427.319 -> the best Mouse cannot have a fatal flaw
430.86 -> in more than one of these fundamental
433.199 -> categories and we all know about the
435.06 -> fact that the only way to charge it is a
437.819 -> lightning port and they put that port at
440.699 -> the bottom of the mouse so you literally
442.919 -> can't even use it while you're waiting
444.84 -> for it to charge it might only happen
446.28 -> once a month but that's more than it
447.84 -> should ever happen but on top of that
449.46 -> it's also terrible ergonomically I mean
452.22 -> there's a reason why all the other best
453.66 -> mice in the world have an arch to rest
456.36 -> your hand but look older is a smart guy
458.16 -> I don't think he's trolling this is not
460.319 -> a completely empty take
462.66 -> the reason why people genuinely feel
465.3 -> this way about the Magic Mouse is
467.099 -> because Apple has done to this accessory
469.86 -> what they've done to every other
471.539 -> accessory that they possibly can in
473.46 -> their Universe which is making it
475.319 -> impossible to make a better one than the
478.5 -> apple one like you literally cannot make
480.539 -> a better smart watch for the iPhone
482.22 -> because you'll never get as much access
484.08 -> to the data and the integration that
486.24 -> Apple gives its own watch you can
488.58 -> literally never make headphones that
490.259 -> pair more fluidly and switch more easily
492.3 -> than Apple's own airpods and the Magic
495.3 -> Mouse
496.5 -> well the Magic Mouse has smooth
498.66 -> scrolling literally the best and only
501.78 -> good feature about the Magic Mouse is
503.699 -> that it has really smooth scrolling end
506.879 -> gestures so you can scroll up and down
508.74 -> with one finger and it just flows with
510.9 -> the inertia of a touch screen like you
513 -> can toss web pages and apps around and
515.099 -> catch them with this smooth scrolling
517.08 -> you can two finger swipe between spaces
519.659 -> you can zoom in and out of things it's
521.82 -> just so smooth just like a mouse should
524.219 -> be and every single other Mouse for Mac
528.2 -> Scrolls in jittery chunks basically
531.42 -> because they literally have to just pick
533.16 -> an integer for how many lines they want
535.26 -> to scroll with every unit scrolled on
537.42 -> the scroll wheel it's just night and day
539.04 -> difference there's just no way for it to
540.839 -> be as smooth now this is also true about
543.06 -> the magic Trackpad which is actually why
545.88 -> I literally use one on my desk alongside
548.279 -> a good Mouse and I know plenty of people
550.74 -> who just use a trackpad and no mouse at
553.26 -> all so if you list if you really listen
554.82 -> to people who defend the Magic Mouse
556.5 -> you'll typically hear something along
558.12 -> the lines of well except for insert
561.06 -> giant flaw here it's a great Mouse and
563.88 -> except for comfortableness it's it's
565.86 -> amazing except for the whole charging on
568.26 -> the bottom thing which you only do once
569.7 -> in a while it's great
572.16 -> that's a pretty big thing for a mouse I
574.32 -> mean there's really not much that they
575.339 -> have to get right the Apple the Magic
577.2 -> Mouse is one of the most frustrating
578.66 -> Apple products
581.279 -> because it just it could be so good that
584.1 -> it they could with their trillions of
586.2 -> dollars they could just hire a building
589.2 -> full of the best Mouse designers on the
591.42 -> planet they could they could buy
593.16 -> whatever people they want to design the
595.32 -> most incredible Mouse mankind has ever
597.42 -> seen and it could have smooth scrolling
600.3 -> but they don't do it
601.86 -> they don't do it
603.6 -> I knew this was coming
605.7 -> it's a bad take tensor sucks and Google
608.58 -> should have stuck with Snapdragon I I
611.88 -> can get behind half of this take not the
614.16 -> whole thing but I can get behind half of
615.54 -> this tensor
616.8 -> Is Not Great you know like two years ago
619.5 -> Google made this bold choice to move
621.36 -> from Qualcomm Snapdragon chips in their
623.519 -> phones to their own custom designed
626.04 -> tensor chip that's actually built by
628.14 -> Samsung and the idea was to be able to
630.779 -> dedicate certain parts of the chip to
632.82 -> certain functions whether AI related or
635.1 -> just you know specific to the phone
636.839 -> speech to text things like that we are
638.88 -> two generations in now so we're at
640.44 -> tensor G2 in the pixel and they have
643.68 -> relatively weak raw performance
646.44 -> and they also don't have great battery
648 -> life and they're not very efficient so I
649.92 -> get why people say tensor sucks but
653.04 -> I don't think they should have stuck
654.6 -> with Snapdragon I still think there's
656.1 -> time I still think in two or three
657.839 -> generations even they could get to the
659.64 -> point where they have such good
661.8 -> optimization and such good calibration
664.079 -> with exactly what they want to do with
665.519 -> these chips that they'll be the most
667.2 -> efficient best battery life best
669.36 -> experience something that they could
670.68 -> never have created by just buying an
673.5 -> off-the-shelf bunch of Snapdragon ships
675.36 -> so I think today like if today they
678.12 -> literally offered a Snapdragon Google
680.279 -> pixel with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a
683.16 -> tensor G2 I think today I would pick the
686.76 -> Snapdragon one but I don't think they
690.12 -> should just give up on the tensor dream
693.54 -> okay take all right beats R and have
697.14 -> always been very good often people
699.779 -> pretend that sound isn't incredibly
701.399 -> subjective a natural audiophilic sound
704.04 -> is always less enjoyable and more
705.959 -> jarring outside of pro referencing you
708.48 -> know
709.44 -> you bring up a really good point
712.74 -> audio is subjective audio is definitely
714.839 -> subjective now back in the days of uh
716.76 -> making fun of Beats headphones for being
718.68 -> overpriced garbage sounding plastic
720.36 -> there was always uh a little a little
723.42 -> kernel of Truth Underneath It All which
725.399 -> is that people still bought beats all
728.399 -> the time and enjoyed them and I always
730.14 -> found that fascinating that you could
731.459 -> literally tell people that there there's
733.98 -> another pair of headphones out there
735.48 -> that sounds better for half the money
738.839 -> and people in that world where it seems
741 -> like a totally straightforward choice
742.2 -> they would still pick the beats and love
745.56 -> them and recommend them and the truth is
747.36 -> like yeah for most people if you just
748.86 -> give them like their their first pair of
750.6 -> nice headphones their first pair of
752.04 -> expensive headphones and they've got
753.779 -> this nice v-shaped equalizer a big
756 -> thumping bass and they're not really
758.22 -> thinking too hard about it being nice
759.72 -> and flat and a nice professional sound
761.94 -> they're going to be impressed it's going
764.16 -> to sound really exciting and interesting
766.2 -> for most music listening which is what
768.12 -> people are doing with Beats headphones
770.06 -> it's great it's fine like audio is it
773.16 -> really is one of the most subjective
774.899 -> things in all of the tech world and
777.06 -> there are tons of reviews and studies
779.22 -> out there with countless examples of
780.839 -> this it kind of feels like the only
782.279 -> trait in audio that people universally
784.5 -> find impressive is just loudness just
787.079 -> higher volume but kind of across the
789.42 -> board anyone can kind of enjoy any sound
792.42 -> signature and generally headphones these
794.579 -> days are good enough to have an EQ and
796.2 -> be able to sound differently based on
797.88 -> different types of music and movies and
799.68 -> whatever you're doing now all that being
801.18 -> said I don't think I could still say
803.22 -> that beats have always been very good I
806.519 -> they've at some point in the past they
809.399 -> were definitely a much more expensive
811.88 -> cheaply built version of the average
814.86 -> headphones you could kind of just get
816.54 -> anywhere else but the marketing team
819.26 -> has always been very good that has
822.72 -> always been good so I think yeah decent
825.42 -> headphones today
827.1 -> decent take also side note I continue to
829.5 -> be so fascinated by the behavior of them
832.26 -> as a company like beats since they've
834.18 -> been purchased by Apple and the newest
835.62 -> pair of Beats by Dre Studio Pro
837.24 -> headphones are the latest example of
838.74 -> that let me know if you guys are
839.82 -> interested in a video about these things
841.32 -> by hitting that like button either way
842.76 -> this has been really fun I think we
844.26 -> should do this again sometime for sure
846.54 -> not doing that one uh so leave your hot
849.54 -> takes I say leave them in the comments
851.04 -> section below and I'll sort of comb
852.48 -> through those it's not even
854.1 -> mathematically correct and I'll come
856.019 -> through those and I'll find the best
857.04 -> ones and we'll do another tech hot takes
859.26 -> video in the future have you read my
861.12 -> shirt this entire video and I think
863.1 -> that'll be really fun just make sure
864.24 -> they're a little more varied and
865.62 -> different from this past one I hate this
868.2 -> I hate this one
