If only they filmed this after whatever that roadster event was yesterday
They should have a Roadster bonus episode for tomorrow
Brooo we need a special episode for the Roadster event, don't think I can wait till next week😭
They need to have a Roadster bonus episode for tomorrow
The ad is exactly what my mornings are like. Especially with my Google Home Hub. When you guys ask “Who is this for?” I think that is what the ad is trying to portray
IDK guys. As a parent whose kids only recently left the house, I thought the HomeView commercial was very relatable. If not in its content, in the sense of stressful connection and frenetic lifestyle. While the confluence of features in the moment is unrealistic, there’s at least one feature for everyone to connect with.
It’s so painfully obvious that Homeview should be MagSafe and it should MagSafe to the speaker stand for charging, and then MagSafe to a wall in whatever room you are in to control your house wirelessly during the day.
The Apple Homeview looks like a colab with Dyson. The base reminds me a lot of their air purifiers
I miss Adam but I appreciate Mariah
1:17:27 Guys, you're talking about this Fitbit with a screen as if you've never heard of the Xiaomi Mi Band, which has been around for ages.... It's literally the same thing, but it costs 4-5 times less
Welcome to Windows, Ellis. Something similar, but worse, happened twice at my company. 40% of employees lost their audio drivers for weeks until Microsoft found a fix. Then something similar happened with networking. Now everyone is switching to Linux or Mac.
I think annoyed and stressful chaotic morning is the most realistic part of the advert
I'm surprised by how negatively you guys were about the homeview ad, coz I really like it lol. I think it's fast-paced and fun and all the sarcastic stuff and poking funs at my parents is exactly how my family behaves
On the bright side the Homeview replaces my iPad Mini that is currently Velcro’d to my wall.
Why did it take so many minutes into a podcast where someone FINALLY connects the dots. It’s essentially CarPlay for home.
The commercial looks like the Homeview makes life more chaotic
I believe the gen 1 HomePod mini did already have ambient sounds like rain and did already listen for fire/co2 alarms
:17 the watchOS actually is the closest to this, because of the underlying abilities like private handshake with your phone, the Secure Enclave tunnel and so on. They'd not want to reinvent most of that technical bit by adoption a different OS.
I wonder if there is a version of this episode where they talk about the flying car that doesnt actually fly
So I’ve got three daughters and I’m the morning or at night it’s fighting over the Alexa to do whatever… this commercial perfectly captures a chaotic household. (Mine) AND that good morning at the end is 100 accurate. Getting caught in daily routine as a parent sometimes it’s like that. (BUT) it isn’t worth $300. Plain and simple.
