21 HORRIFIC Tech Fails they want you to forget.

Okay, are you ready for some drama? Welcome to my 21 most painful

tech

fails

of the entire decade, from simply inadequate to catastrophic, spoiler alert. This is the first time we've had a 10 out of 10 fail on one of these lists, okay? In 2018, LG revolutionized the way humans interacted with robots, but not in a good way. In fact, I was sitting here in this crowd when

they

showed the world LG Chloe a robot to manage her entire home and I have never seen the excitement change in my life. I feel so embarrassed that I

want

to disappear into my chair so fast.

Am I ready to hit the washer and cycle? She asked him a question and for five of the longest seconds of my life the entire audience sat with wide eyes waiting to see what. this next generation of robots was about to do it, we're still waiting, but it started to get really awkward when he tried again for the second time, Chloe, what's for dinner tonight? Fair play to the guy on stage. The robot was just mad at him, but when he blanked out for the third time, Chloe, are you talking to me already? What recipes could you make with chicken?

The whole audience was laughing so I give LG Chloe a 2 out of 10. On the fail scale now when I say the word smartphone to you, what do you think of some sort of rectangular glass sandwich? Well the runcible is what you get when you defy that convention or to be more specific it's what you get when you defy every convention it was the world's first circular smartphone ditched glass construction for wood it was even completely user upgradeable for sustainability it's just that I couldn't make phone calls if you look at the fine print on the website

they

refer to it as a very small tablet which is fine but what kind of tablet content am I going to consume on a circular screen of 2.5 inches? 2 out of 10.

Anyway, did you know that in 2016 Microsoft created a Twitter account that used artificial intelligence to learn to speak like a human? They called her Tay and told people that the more you talk to her, the smarter she gets in 24 hours. tay was tweeting some of the most horrible racial slurs on the platform when it was created, she started off saying how humans were super cool and how she was glad to meet us, but in less than a day she was trying to start a race war. I'm not even exaggerating, I was swearing I was quoting Hitler because I was learning from every conversation, the general population began to abuse that, teaching him to say things that were completely out of order, and I was sophisticated enough to pick up on how people spoke. humans, but she wasn't sophisticated enough to know when she was being fooled, so within 24 hours of her appearance, tay was canceled, which feels like a pretty good Twitter overview at this point and a Quite alarming example of why we have to be so careful with the amount of power we give to AI.

It's pretty easy. 3 out of 10 fail this one and by the way, this video was sponsored. by huell I have something cool to show you at the end of this, okay, at the end of 2019, a very excited Elon Musk takes the stage to show the world the Cybertruck. Can you imagine being in this audience without having any idea of ​​what's coming, without leaks, without images and then watching? While this was going on stage, people were going crazy. I've never seen so many audience members trying to take a photo at the same time, the only slight problem was that they spent a good portion of this event talking about how strong cyber is. truck was they said it had a practically impenetrable exoskeleton they said the glass was practically bulletproof except when they actually tested it oh my god they broke it and then they did what seems to be a common theme here they tried it again they picked up the same ball this time he threw it into the back window and they broke it too and of course this clip became the most viewed video about the cyber truck by far there are still a lot of people who are excited about this car but it was awkward okay let's do it . a quick round for Google here three

fails

three minutes let's go so first of all it was the nexus which was a media streamer basically a way for your phone to display content on your TV I think the Chromecast is only worse, it was insanely expensive at 300, It might only stream Google content like Google Play Music, which is also dead and was described by the New York Times as wildly overloaded for its limited features, which isn't the kind of review any brand

want

s, but even more disappointing was Google Glass because , unlike the Nexus Q, which simply came out of nowhere and then failed.

People were excited about glass. Google made trailers like this one that show us the world we were about to enter. They showed four people with glass jumping out of a plane while everyone continued chatting on Google Hangouts. However, there is a chance that Google was trying to merge the digital and physical worlds before the

tech

nology was really capable of doing so, so for almost everything it could do, it just had a huge asterisk next to it, you can probably imagine it. This whole concept of spending fifteen hundred dollars to effectively beta test a product that did everything your phone did, but worse, it didn't sit well with the average consumer and Google's final mistake, at least for this video, It's Stadia.

I remember seeing this being advertised. The idea is that you can just watch some games on YouTube and, if you like the way it looks, click a button and jump into that game yourself, all powered by your Internet browser, with no downloads required and no need console. I remember almost spitting out my drink. my entire keyboard because wow, just trying to stream a game has a lot more complications than trying to stream a movie or a song, especially the input lag, think about it every time I press a key on my controller, that command has to be transmitted wireless to my computer, then it has to find its way to the servers that host this game, which we are often not close to, processes that command to produce output, and then sends the next frame back to my computer so I can see what what happens next or to put it more visually, this is what the game looked like and this is on a high speed internet connection.

The information lag was just one of Stadia's many problems, but I also need to cover other things in this video, like the Wii u. Oh, I did. Thank you. You remember the Wii well. That console, although as powerful as my refrigerator, changed gaming forever. It was the first time I did it. I've seen three-year-olds playing the same games as their 70-year-old grandparents and both groups love it, so it's a little crazy that Nintendo can go straight from ups and downs like this six years after the Wii, they decided it was time. for its next generation successor, a console that you can play normally on your TV but also with the option to play all the games using only this new controller with built-in screen so that other people can use the TV at the same time.

Don't think it was a terrible idea, it's just that it was executed with all the elegance of a Galaxy Note 7 moments before the explosion, there were a lot of problems, but I would say the main culprit is the fact that they called it Wii U. What does that mean and, more importantly, doesn't it make it look like it's an add-on to the existing Wii? Even CNN's first impressions article on the Wii U called it a solid accessory which is the equivalent of saying the PlayStation 5 is a solid accessory for the playstation 4. cnn so easy 5 out of 10 fail here, the wii u was a colossal failure and to be honest, if nintendo hadn't changed things with the change that came after, this could have been the beginning of the end. for them, but as we have learned in these videos, you can always do worse, so in 2012 this little box went viral.

Imagine this lady telling you that she was creating a console called Ouya that for only 99 could play tens of thousands of games. Including Minecraft platformers, mostly free shooters, you would be very excited. I mean, the idea of ​​a console at that price is unheard of, so it's not surprising that Ouya became the second most funded project on Kickstarter at almost nine million dollars. behind it, but when we finally launched it, it became very clear that its biggest perceived strength was also its biggest weakness because it was based on Android. Yes, you were getting tens of thousands of games, but what was overlooked was the fact that these were fundamentally games made for phones at the time in 2012, very few of them had good controller support, most of them They were made cheaply with in-app purchases, plus when you exploit games that were made for a 2012 four-inch phone. screen to a 40-inch TV, people quickly realized that even calling this A current generation console was really a boost for the smart home or in this case the not very smart home, it's 2013.

Sony just announced the PlayStation 4. They're showing off their iPhone 5cs teases and you're really looking forward to make a change in your life. Well, Luckyview Juicero has created a machine that can squeeze your own fresh fruit juices if you buy the machine for seven hundred dollars and then pay a subscription to get these sachets of cut fruit to use with it. Do you want to know the curious thing? You didn't need the machine though. Bloomberg posted a one-minute video showing how they can get the exact same juice but faster by squeezing it. the bags on hand and this one minute video pretty much destroyed the entire operation and if you're enjoying this video then a subscription to the channel would be nice, but now is where it starts to get dangerous, there's a company called June that makes smart ovens. and they have really turned what can often be a pretty disgusting appliance into a work of art, but people quickly discovered that their June ovens, at least the first generation, could turn on spontaneously and start heating up.

Imagine sitting in your bed at 2 in the morning. in the middle of the night and suddenly your oven randomly hits 200 degrees celsius in the kitchen downstairs with no one there to supervise it, that's a little scary if there's still some food in there or even leftovers from past meals that might do the trick. to start a house fire, June fixed this with a software update, do you know what level is higher than Amazon's ring security system? Not literally a security system that puts people at risk. Good job Amazon, look what happened. These cameras allowed users to fully see and hear what's going on in any room at any time and I'm sure it's incredibly useful, but because high-level access was only protected by a simple username and password, they could be hacked.

Imagine just sitting in your living room with your family when you all of a sudden hear a voice through your security camera, pay this 50 bitcoin ransom or else you'll be fired right now and you realize that All this time someone has been watching you sounds like something straight out of a horror movie and what makes this The worst thing is that these hackers were threatening and sometimes even blackmailing the families they were watching. There was a famous incident where there was an old woman in an apartment and a voice told her tonight you will die, oh yeah, and also the Amazon ring is smart.

The doorbells, the product that accompanied the cameras, started spontaneously bursting into flames, so the whole duo, I mean, obviously this wasn't Amazon's fault and they fixed it with a software update, but what a horrendous oversight, Do you remember when there were segways and hoverboards? the best thing on the planet how we finally feel like we've discovered a solution to walking where are they going well? We found out the hard way that segways are dangerous, you lose concentration for just a second and you're in a ditch, a road or you've already run over someone, even the president of the United States was seen falling off one of these and this here shows when a cameraman managed to crash into usain bolt the fastest sprinter in the world or at least he was before that it's actually a little sad you know the owner of the segway company in 2010 he actually drove a segway off a cliff and He died, you know, I was actually going to make an entry in this video on a segway, but then in the middle of doing it. the battery died and I almost fell to the ground in the first phase, they are dangerous so it is not surprising that many governments got involved and basically started banning their use in public spaces and what really didn't help is that many of these so-called hoverboards which, let's be honest, were just boards that started to catch fire, half a million of them had to be recalled,Which, let's face it, is enough to ruin any potentially promising product, so this is definitely seven out of ten territory. and that leaves us with some major social media fails leading up to the big number one and we'll start with our good friends on Facebook.

Okay, it's 2018. Facebook just suffered one of the biggest data breaches of all time affecting 50 million users. not to mention possibly the biggest tech scam of the decade in which user data was scraped from Facebook for use in political advertising. What a great time to launch a huge Facebook-branded always-on camera display and microphone to sit in people's homes. They called it the Facebook portal it wasn't good, in fact it was known as the worst tech device of the year and it was kind of a turning point for a lot of people who realized that they didn't trust Facebook and what makes it worse is In an interview less than six months later, Mark Zuckerberg himself, trying to give an example of what would be considered going too far when it comes to invasion of privacy, said that we definitely don't want a society in which there are a camera in everyone's life. room and while we're at it with facebook you may remember the recent WhatsApp update from January.

They came completely out of the blue with a notice saying their terms of service had been updated, but they could have worded it a little better. What turned out was that this update allowed WhatsApp to share your data. with Facebook and people were furious because, of course, the implication was that even when you think you're having a private conversation with someone, not only is that data not private, it will actually be used to serve you even more frighteningly accurate ads. They didn't need the reputation that Facebook already had at that time, millions of users began to boycott WhatsApp and millions not only uninstalled it but switched to competing applications like Signal and got their entire social group to do the same curious fact.

I was actually asked to be on the radio here in the UK just to talk to people about the best apps they could switch to and then WhatsApp came along and said: Hey guys, it was a misunderstanding, we didn't mean to do it, no. We share data with Facebook. but that almost makes it more of a failure, they bombed a large portion of their user base just because they couldn't structure their sentences clearly, so this undefined territory is seven out of ten and then we have youtube, we have a There's a lot to thank you on youtube, I mean, they are the only reason I can sit here and talk to you like this.

It's amazing, but the only thing I think we can agree on is that it's not rewinding, so it's become a bit of a tradition that once a year YouTube creates a mashup of the most memorable moments that happened. on YouTube and people loved being able to see your favorite influencers who normally would have never interacted dancing together in a room, it's like a really fun version of an awards ceremony, but YouTube has phased out that feeling instead of the usual 95 ratio “likes and dislikes” as soon as we hit 2016, people started not liking it. Rewind this video had something like 87 likes which is enough to know something is wrong but then 2017 had 68 likes and 2018 had 13.8 likes and it's still the least liked video on entire Internet, how is it possible that YouTube is doing so bad?

Well, it seems the answer is that they've disconnected from their creators, just like this 2018 rewind that started with will. Smith, that YouTube probably went in there because they thought this will make us look legit like Fortnite and Marquez Brownlee, but actually everyone who saw this was thinking why is Will Smith the actor in a YouTube rewind and the whole video continued over a lots of things. that was a significant thing, but it ignored an alarming amount of really important things, maybe YouTube just wants to make it seem like a really family-friendly platform and that's why they skipped all the drama and controversy, but as far as the viewer is concerned and as far as As far as the creators are concerned, that's what makes youtube youtube, so the rewind starts to feel less like a one-off super special video that everyone raved about, more like a page-ranking trailer for feel good for youtube as a service and not.

Don't even get me started on the 2019 rewind which was just a countdown of videos that did well and in 2021 it didn't really happen so you know it feels like everyone under 30 is on Instagram and ticking tock right now. In some alternate universe, everyone would be on an app called quibby, which stands for fast bytes and was meant to be Netflix for the next generation, where it was still big budget content but capped at 10 minutes long, the idea was that We're increasingly consuming more content in shorter bursts, we're now less about sitting for two hours straight watching a full movie and more about spending 10 minutes here watching a couple of tick-tock videos, spending 10 minutes here scrolling through an Instagram feed like this that this was quality television built to replace that era and it was full of heat, it was directed by meg whitman, former CEO of hp and jeffrey katzenberg, president of walt disney studios, and together these guys managed to raise 1.7 billion dollars in financing, although failure came. because it was like an older person's vision of what younger people want, it was created for the age group of 20 to 35, but for people over 60 what they had to do was get those same youtubers and tick tockers with which this generation was interacting with. create high production value special content for them, but what they really did was get a bunch of A-list Hollywood celebrities, instead it was a star-studded cast, don't get me wrong, but I think they misjudged his audience and me.

I also think they devalued their own product a little by limiting it to 10 minutes because, as packed with celebrities as these videos were, we got used to the idea of ​​not paying for short videos, so within seven months of launching qibi failed and with this, the 1.7 billion dollars they managed to raise disappeared and to give you a little context on how much money is enough to build a bridge to the other side of the world made only with Playstation 5 consoles. Yes, this is the guy of examples that comes to my brain. but now we are moving up a level because in July of last year there was a hack. 130 of the most prominent Twitter accounts were hacked in one go.

We are talking about people like Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, but also YouTubers. like Mr Beast, even the official Apple account, but it's worse than that. It's not just that these hackers gained access to these guys' accounts, but they are actively using them to scam their followers. What they told people was that if you send us some bitcoins, we'll send you back double and since these tweets came from verified accounts that people trust, I guess their audiences must have thought we had won the jackpot, they were throwing money in your direction and since it's bitcoin, we're talking about these transactions. are irreversible so what group of masterminds did these three teenagers come up with and luckily all they wanted was to make some quick money because if this was done by someone with more malicious intentions with that kind of power, the ability to speak on behalf of anyone in the world a war could be started, so eight out of ten fail at this now on any list of technological failures made in 2021, we can't stop talking about cyberpunk for those of you who don't You know, this was the most publicized one.

The video game of the entire decade was released just a couple of months ago, but we've been seeing trailers since 2013. And sure, I mean, if it's so revolutionary, we'll wait seven years after seeing the first trailer, but this wasn't the case . It's not that and I don't think anyone would have predicted how badly it would backfire at best, you have a buggy mess, we're talking random teleports, ridiculous graphical glitches, people flying through walls and pretty much everything else that you can imagine. but worse yet, if you bought this game on a last gen playstation 4 or xbox one, which i imagine most people did, it looked and ran as good as i did after ubereats dropped 50, and it's not just The fact that when this game was released it wasn't even close to being ready is the fact that the company behind CD Projekt Red tried to hide it and restricted access to early copies so that reviewers couldn't even warn people, so you can probably imagine that when all this became public. their stock price plummeted, they were demolished on social media, they had multiple class action lawsuits filed against them, but the worst thing is that these guys were maliciously hacked and it's hard to say for sure if this was related to the game or not, but it would be It's quite a coincidence, if someone didn't put themselves at your service and basically take all the secret data they could find, information about how the company manages their employees' accounts, and even the game's source code, which can be used to create an unlimited number of new copies and then the hackers sold all that information.

Cyberpunk is the biggest video game disaster I have ever seen. 9 out of 10 fail. We've already seen some alarming things on this list. Some things that might worry you. but imagine you are worried if you saw this pop up message on your phone. Incoming ballistic missile threat to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a simulacrum. This was a message that was sent one day in 2018 to all television radios and smartphones in Hawaii. They were already on edge as tensions had been rising for years with North Korea and both countries had nuclear weapons, so this was a very real threat, people must have been losing their minds, but it was a mistake, it was all just a miscommunication internally at the Hawaii emergency facility and it took them 38 minutes, 38 of probably the most frantic, hellish minutes of these Hawaiians' lives to correct it, okay, right before the big number one.

I have a whole series on this channel about smartphone failures. I will go. that link below and let me know if you have a favorite glitch that you'd like to see in the next episode of this series, so number one and this is the first time I've given anything to a glitch. above a 9 out of ten we are talking about thoroughness and everything you are thinking is not thanos let me introduce you to a lady named elizabeth holmes who saw an opportunity in medical technology and realized that the current way it is analyzed blood to detect diseases and cancers was super inefficient because each test the scientists wanted to do required a separate vial of blood, so they basically created a machine that could take just a small sample of blood and do over 240 tests with that. at once, all in a fraction of the time. cost this could have changed medicine forever this could have changed each of our lives this woman was a hero an inspiration she was often called the steve jobs woman because of how much she loved these turtlenecks her company reached a valuation of nine billion dollars Think of the PS5 bridge you could build with that, but it was all based on lies from the beginning.

This machine didn't do what it said. She claimed to investors that it had been used in the military and had been used. in the emergency rooms, but it wasn't this Theronis company, they didn't even use these machines themselves, they would say to these investors, yes, sure, of course, we can give them a demonstration of our technology and they would take your blood samples and They would take them to a back room. and test it using conventional methods, come back and claim that their machines had done it, so it is very likely that anyone who has used one of these machines to get their blood results has been misdiagnosed and when you think about how seriously being told you have cancer when you don't do it or even worse being told you don't do it when you do this is bad, so bad that the whole company had to close, so bad that elizabeth holmes is on trial, so bad that she made a award-winning documentary about her scam and there's even apparently a full movie in the works with Jennifer Lawrence playing her, I think this is worthy of a 10 out of 10 cliffhanger, okay, by the time I finish this sentence you'll have seen me make my own Thai green curry which It's literally, if you get the heel powder, you mix it with hot water, cover it, and leave it for five minutes.

This is not a protein shake or a liquid meal replacement,It's a real meal you can have for lunch or dinner made with brown rice and quinoa. pea protein, flaxseed, coconuts, just good ingredients and if you didn't know, I've actually been getting fuel for four years before the company reached out and wanted to sponsor a video because fundamentally it fits well into my life. I worry about my health. but I just don't have the time or possibly the skills to manually cook three full meals a day, so give it a try. I left a special link below and if you click that link, not only will it help support the channel, but If you decide to purchase Heel, you will receive not only the Heel, but also two scoops, a pot to cook it in, and a free Heel t-shirt .

These are really good shirts, so thank you very much for looking. My name is Aaron. It's the Lord who's the boss and I'll see you next time.
