This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam.

Honestly, the Juicero is amazing. They literally set up a juice-making company in order to sell you a glorified can opener.
AvE's teardown video of Juicero is absolutely amazing too. Everything about the whole process, from the press machine to the subscription-based IoT-connected juice packets was over-built and under-delivered.
Reminds me to Apple
a lot of companies are like that i quess
It definitely can't open cans though.
@@TheLargeHardonCollider AvE’s tear down of everything is amazing
I invented a new type of fan, more of a "wind machine" than a fan really.
The air that comes out of it is so blowy, that it shouldn't even be called air; it should be called, I don't know, forced atmosphere, because that's what it is. Literally, there is air in my veins.
Oh, I don't see what you did there...
And an embolism too!
Take my money please.
Umm... have you seen the "bladeless" fan? Which company popularized the design again... maybe it was Dyson?
Lol. I used to be a painter and we often used "air movers" which honestly are pretty much wind machines. They are powerful and useful and different from a fan 🤷♂️
You missed the part where Juicero needed wifi to work and needed an app on your phone where it specifically said that it would be selling your data.
Hahahah if you told me that's from a South Park episode, I would believe you
In addition, the juice must be consumed within 5 or 7 days. The QR code that is scanned by Juicero contains the expiration date. If it is over, the machine refuses to juice.
I grew up in Uruguay, where the green notebooks were actually given to children by the government. It was the first time many of their parents had access to internet too. This computer ( called “Ceibalita”) was the only computer available in many households.
So.. although it wasn’t a product to last (chromebooks are just light years better), they did do a lot of good :)
I think same in Argentina
19 inch VEINY BLACK KOK WHIPPED OUT IN A HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL GAME
Aunque eran bastante decadentes. Los teclados no duraban nada jsjs pero fueron mejorando los diseños
@@michaeldoran4367"Hey kids! Who wants to go to 3rd base?"
That's actually really nice
You forgot to mention that the Juicero packets had a special QR code on them that was read by the machine and if there wasn’t one on the packet the machine wouldn’t squeeze the bag you put in it. Basically telling you you can’t buy some off-brand juice but you had to buy their overpriced garbage.
Hey hey people....
Sounds of a horrible product
Where can I buy one?
🤣 Gotta make money somehow!
That doesn’t sound very “Doug-like” or the “spirit of Doug”
Personally, I think Doug was hinting at steroid use.
“I have juice in my veins”?! Sounds like something ARod or Mark McGuire would say
+ if your internet doesnt work....sucks to be you.
ALSO also, their distribution network was such ass that half the country wouldn't get the packets before the qr code told the press it was expired
The eyes of Theranos' Ceo still creep me out.
Zucc lizard vibes.
I still see that creepy image when I close my eyes
I wasn't watching the video and came back to her closeup face talking about blood. Creepy AF.

There's a reason why in Star Trek, even on warp-speed starships, people still use forks and spoons. If it ain't broke, trying to fix it will just break it anyway.
That’s why we have Spock, as both a person and something in between 😂
Gene Roddenberry specifically didn't want any set to be superfluous. Every little detail had to serve a practical function in at least one episode. That's why most of the ships have a minimalist design unlike the beeping and blinking lights of other space operas. If a fork can do what a fancy fork robot can do just as well, go with the fork.
Teacher here. XOs were the worst! You got a class set and the kids were so excited to get to use a computer, but only 2 of them actually worked and then the kids went full Lord of the Flies over them. Then you had the principal complaining that you weren't using this brilliant educational resource that the school spent so much money on!
Fantastic idea, terrible execution.
Not full lord of the flies! 😂😂😂
I work in tech salvage and found a few in our junk bins. Honestly not surprised.
I bet all the kids found a way to put Halo onto all their laptops. That’s what we did in middle and high school.
The problem with schools and business, if it sounds educational and they think kids will like it they don't bother to see if it actually works.
Juicero: Our engineers have taken care of everything. The growing, the harvesting, the washing, the chopping,...
So, like,... juice manufacturers? 🤷♂️
I remember explaining commodities trading to my wife and she answered:

The reason Holmes is so creepy is because she basically stalked Steve Jobs his entire career and tried to perfectly copy his every move and mannerism. She thought being exactly like one of the most successful businessmen in the world, she would also be successful, despite her product never working.
she shouldve medically transitioned to rlly commit to the bit
And at no point did she realize that Steve Jobs had basically nothing to do with his own success.
Her voice was also fake

Wait, those are her real eyes? That's not a doctored vid? A filter of some sort?
@@blurrycryptid Because being monotone makes her look 'professional'.
Idk why, but using "chick" to derogratively refer to someone who honestly deserves it is so funny to me.

"There's juice in my veins"
That's what we non-lizard people call blood
😂 Blood is just very salty juice.
@Sean Price this isn’t gonna turn into one of those “is a hotdog a sandwich”? Arguments is it?
@Sean Price if said person is drinking the blood, it could be referred to as juice. Human juice. Although I guess human juice would consist of all kinds of things (sweat, blood, saliva, pus, etc)
Blood is meat juice.

Honestly the Coolest Cooler doesn't look like that horrible of an idea, it was just executed really poorly. I feel like you could simplify the concept a bit and probably do pretty well if you can figure out the manufacturing & distribution. Good branding too.
agree, they dont look like too much feature creep, i guess only thing is they couldnt deliver, but its a good concept
I am just imagining this thing would way a ton with the battery needed to power it. I mean, a cooler loaded out with drinks and ice is already pretty weighty, then add a 10 pound lithium battery on top of that? Might as well have built it with a wagon form factor ie 4 wheels and a handle.
@@michaeld387 its a cooler, it get wheels already, and this is not 2000s lithium battery dont weight that much, a 300Wh battery weights about 5 pounds and its more than enough to mix some drink and play music
How is it a good idea? If you want all the things included. Just get a good quality cooler, and assemble a backpack with plates, boom box, battery, and blender.
@@_taxman_ it's nothing really new, cheap 12 volt fridges are starting to get pretty popular and some of them have built in lithium batteries you could just expand on that but yeah all of the plates and stuff and the kitchen utensils that's just kind of dumb. But people want all the electronic gizmos I feel like. Like the boombox and the blender.
LOL, I was one of the lucky kickstarter backers who got a Coolest. It absolutely rules, still use it all the time.
It actually seemed like a cooler I would want. I like the multi purpose features all in one place, especially when at the lake or somewhere like it.
I was havin' a shitty day and this comment made me smile and laugh. It makes me think we're each entangled with some random person in a karmic quantum wave, and their peaks are our troughs and vice versa, lol.
Is it the coolest cooler that you ever had? Is there another cooler that is cooler?
Yeah it sounded like it rocks
Isn't SUPER heavy though?
If you need a heavy duty cooler, just get a Yeti.
when you watch that theranos lady speak into the camera like that knowing she uses a fake deep voice makes it so much creepier.
It's her eyes though, like she's purposefully opening them wider, that's creepy 🥶

I am still SO AMAZED that anyone heard Elizabeth Holmes talk/do her weird performance and didn't immediately get VERY uncomfortable lmao. It's so laughably bad hahaha
Yes its very weird that her act apparently worked: I feel like Im missing some pieces of the puzzle.
@@Heligany Apparently her demeanor was carefully crafted to appeal not to a average consumer, but to be catnip to silicon valley techheads. Called herself the next Steve Jobs and everything (all these guys LOVE Steve Jobs)
@@gallows_Calibrator this is true. she dressed like him, talked like him, acted like him, but looked like a pretty blonde lady. said a lot of empty buzzwords. had a lot of connections. she was basically a parasite - designed herself from the ground up to fit seemlessly into the supremely rich tech community while providing nothing of value, only robbing her hosts of endless resources.
No different than Elon Musk, fake it until you make it.
She's doing a public speaking thing that I've seen a lot of managers do... And I don't get it either. It just makes me uncomfortable.
If you did not realize at the mere mention of "doing hundreds of tests from a single drop of blood" that it was the delusion of a crazy person, and then went on to see Elizabeth Holmes, and still not realize she was a nut job, then the voice was your third wake-up call...
If my two choices of rectal examiners were Edward Scissor-Hands or Elizabeth Holmes, I would still think long and hard before deciding ;p
I missed the whole Theranos thing when it happened, but I do remember the multiple vials of blood required to run a few basic tests at the doctor's.
Bro, you're gonna consider letting some mofo named Edward Scissor-Hands rectally examine you?!?
What happened was that nearly every medical expert who reviewed the idea called it out as being nonsense. Sadly the investors just jumped on while ignoring the experts.
It could have been useful if Elizabeth wasn't so deadset on arbitrary things like form factor and trying to do it with one of those little pin prick things. Imagine if it was one test l per machine or just used a full vile of blood but could be run quickly idk. With all of that money they shuld have been able to build something useful.
@Andrew Olguin Nah, the concept was inherently stupid. If you look into how these blood tests work you'll realize it was an obvious sham from the start. It's literally like someone promised you they could teleport you by recreating your body at a new location. Similar level of impossibility. Theranos would've had to advance medical science by centuries.
It’s pretty obvious why each of these products failed. To me, though, the really interesting part is that each of them raised millions of dollars in startup money (about a billion, in Theranos’ case). Why wasn’t it obvious to investors that they were throwing away their money?
I don't have the data but, I thought these are just the special cases where the conman is just very convincing.
Because they can afford to, they barely noticed the money they lost.
is it realy so obvious?
GREED
The whole thing was designed from the ground up to be investor eye candy
That Theranos lady is one of the scariest things I've seen on the internet in a long time. She would fit right in to any creepypasta.

Agreed.
Elizabeth Holmes is a human being that is in the Uncanny Valley.
Her eyes are fucking gigantic
Uncanny Valley Ranch
@@SaltCane her eyes aren't normally that large. She thought too be taken seriously she had to have an imposing stare and deep voice which is why it all feels so strange. She just opened her eyes as wide as possible and deepened her voice as much as she could thinking that it would make people take her seriously when in reality it did the exact opposite. There's a video somewhere on UA-cam of Holmes practicing her deep voice and breaking down about no one taking her seriously. The delusion is somewhat fascinating.
@@epyon542 it’s not really a delusion. Women actually aren’t taken seriously. In this case it was definitely a nasty display of manipulation but women constantly have to make changes in order to have any shot at being taken seriously by men, especially in historically male-only occupations.
@@aliioana8586 I don't know what you're talking about to be honest. It may be anecdotal but all the women I've meet in STEM have been taken seriously because they've proven their knowledge, just like any man.
The One Laptop per Child wasn't a bad idea, but a bad execution.
The EEE by Asus that followed with a similar price point was the first Ultra Portable commercial success, in an era before tablets.
There’s a joke from Archer about that
“1 laptop per child soldier, which quickly became a 1000 laptops per warlord”
Also bad timing, as they came right at the same time when the iPhone was released, maybe 1 year earlier, and the smartphone / tablet industry quickly made this kind of product totally useless, as similar products quickly came in a similar price range, but were made by people who can acually manufacture such products
@@xl000 EEE were successful between 2007 an 2010 when the iPad was released. Apple also did the Mackbook Air in 2008 to follow the trend.
that said yes, after the diffusion of tablets the ultra portable market lost all its value
Yea, I think Coffee missed a bit there.
Yes, the One Laptop was quickly outperformed by netbooks, but netbooks didn't exist before that point.
These guys literally unintentionally kicked of a world wide tech trend.
@@xl000 Computers are still very different from tablets and smartphones though. The current generation is arguably less tech savvy because modern devices oversimplify lots of processes by hiding anything complicated from the user. There's nothing wrong with that, but specifically as an educational device, it doesn't facilitate the kinds of deep exploration that some children might be interested in.
ok so, the one laptop per child actually was a thing on my country (uruguay)
we call them "xo" and they were given to you in public schools, i have actually seen a few of them from friends (the keys on the keyboard have rubber and it's pretty weird)
they eventually stop giving them and started giving actual laptops with ubuntu linux
esaaa. Yo iba a decir lo mismo. Que lindo ver otro/as uruguayo/as
Vine a comentar esto mismo, vi la laptop y dije "Bro Coffezilla me esta basureando la Ceibalita"
Same (Thailand) 😅
The rubber keys were a compromise: conventional keys would've been "nicer" but the designers wanted the keyboard to be more durable, since the OLPC machine was envisioned to be a system that could be used anywhere -- including Third World countries w/ limited infrastructure & harsher environments.
lol aquí en Perú la educación básica pública es muy mala, en mi colegio habian algunas de esas laptops en el área de computación que después de todo no contaba, la cosa es que a mi y tres compañeros mas nos encargaron un proyecto de robótica y esas laptops eran para programar eso, realmente odié lo limitadas que eran esas laptops

Honestly, a swiss army cooler doesnt sound too bad. Aren't coolers kind of a hub during parties? A charger and a speaker sounds just about right. Not sure about that LED and a knife.
The LED lights were unneeded as was the knife, everything else sounded cool
All of those features take a lot of space probably.
But do you really need 13 million dollars to make a cooler with a speaker and a battery?
@@carlosramos3890 No. But the idea intrigues me a little.
The problem is, the 180$ price tag.
Lets take a regular cooler. $30,-. Take the 'features' the Coolest has;
A knife, 'usb charger', bluetooth speaker, a smoothie maker. Those things loosely cost literally not anymore than $70,-. And probably all are better quality than those in the Coolest. They are literally selling you the 'idea' it will come in handy. Not even mentioning the practicallity of sand getting stuck everywhere in the coolest. So no, it is retarded. Glad it failed.
Holy shit. The cooler looked so familiar I had to go out in my garage to see..and sure enough there was our "Coolest Cooler".. my dad must've thought it sounded cool when the Kickstarter was announced but we've never even used it bc it's soo complicated 😆
The idea itself actually sounds pretty cool. If only it didn't look like normal 1970s cooler with 1990s blender attached with it and again 1990s looking speaker. Im sure if they design it properly and sell it as quirky picnic stuff it might sell pretty well.
The other functions sounds so weird though.
@@jeanneann3545 Start small, only add features when you already have money lol. Like pick one of the things from the video to add to your cooler (eg just the blender), and if that sells, release Coolest 2 with more features. Steve Jobs didn’t run out the gate promising face tracking day 1.
Probably drunk when he bought it.

@@jeanneann3545 good, don't ever drink then you will spend more
That cooler was pretty cool... not gonna lie... the speaker and the charger does make sense if you think about how close you stay to the cooler when you're eating at a picnic or on a fishing boat...
But you probably already own those things as is- or at least someone invited will bring them
@@Xmasta420 the cooler isn’t to replace the actual charger it’s to have a place to plug them in when you’re on a boat, at the beach or away from outlets.
problem is that it was superheavy, like 40kg with NOTHING in it, even heavier with all the stuff it was supposed to come with. And still not even considering how much the thing that a cooler is SUPPOSED to carry weighs.
If you need a durable cooler, just get a Yeti.
Shitty bluetooth speaker, knife, plates, blender etc in one overpriced package. Most of people have all of those things in better quality allready. Well, I have to give the blender part, not many have wireless blender, but how many times you are going to use that?
The concept isn’t bad, but it is over designed. If they scaled it back a bit, maybe stripped one of the features, made the cooler lighter and bigger, and so on, it could work.
My girlfriend and I learned about Juicero around the same time we were watching Primeval, and now we have the joke that their Raptors are all trying to get their hands onto Juicero. Sadly they can't get them, because obviously the company went under.

I understand many people don’t like needles, but I don’t understand the big deal about “one drop of blood”

The technology is there and already in use with the Siemens machines they had bought. The problem lies with the small size they had which constrained the design and made it near impossible to work with using our current tech. They were also advertising the idea of sending your results over the internet as an innovative idea.

I saw him at 10k and I was surprised how good he was, then learned way later he already had Coffee Break! My man found a new niche and has been rockin it 👏
Quit leeching
Same, I used to watch coffee break, but I honestly didn't realize it was a separate channel
Mans a FUCKING LEGEND!!
Jibo looks like it's main issue was that it was directly competing with massive companies and not really trying anything different to them. If you're a startup, you need some kind of angle or new idea that makes you better than what already exists. Otherwise there is no possible way to compete with the way bigger companies who have massive resources and economies of scale.
I had a jibo and that shit was haunted. It would random spin it’s head over and over and ask if I wanted to play a game
@@StirlingPlays kinda creepy lol ahah
@@StirlingPlays sounds like fun tbf
"New ideas" are the reason so many of these fail.
Jibo was supposed to be more of a social robot than that of an assistant, but prices and the eventual practical uses of bots like Alexa made Jibo obsolete unfortunately 😕
"It's like installing HDMI ports on a tyre!" Brilliant!
Elizabeth Holmes triggers my fight or flight response
theranose lady would literally intentionally try and make her voice deeper during confrences and interviews because her dad told her deep voices have more presence, wich she used to try and scam investors... fing weird
that is not actually that unusual, esp if you go back a generation or so. I've known a bunch of women over the years who worked to either raise or lower their voice since voice training used to be part of how women executives tried to improve their chances.
I'm cis (I was born a woman and want to be seen as a woman) but I still did voice training to be able to talk differently to be more accepted at school and work. Not saying American women are the most oppressed people ever of course, we have it pretty easy, but sometimes shit's just easier if you lean into silly nonsense rules
@@adrienneczerni6516 so... You're a normal woman
@@danielearnshaw8392 Yeah I suppose most women do voice training. It sucks
@@adrienneczerni6516 at school ? why ? I see the point in deepening your voice in work to be authoritative but I don't see why would anyone do that at school.
" sometimes shit's just easier if you lean into silly nonsense rules"
sadly people have biases regarding deep and high voices. Hopefully they change in the future.
The fact that the Thernos toy was literally a plain empty box is perfection. 😂
9:05 these are your things, this is you’re house, this is you’re local up adress
13:54 we still have an NGO distributing “One computer per child” laptops and giving them maintenance. Didn’t know they were dead 😅
Elizabeth Holmes isn't just creepy, she legit triggers my brain/body to go in full defence mode when I see her talk. She is a psychopath... or I am just crazy myself 😂
I think she mostly just holds her eyes too wide and talks in that fake deep voice. The combination is very unnatural, and the pure white background and the lights reflecting in her eyes do not help at all.
She looks simulated, like an incomplete render. You feel like you're being addressed by a robot.
She genuinely makes me feel fear
She's probably a psychopath and a narcissist
@@fart63 Has a Zucc vibe to her.
Masquerade breach.
To be fair though the juicero, internally was insanely over-engineered with really good machined steel parts. Sadly all it did was squish a veggie pulp bag and scan a QR code. Had they just used that same level of over engineering and made a normal Juicer. Instead of trying to apply the razor and blade tactic to it. it would of probably sold like crazy as a high end product.
Here's the thing though. There were no fruits inside. They had already made the juice and put it in the bag. You could just cut it open with a pair of scissors and pour it out. All they did was reinvent bottled juice. Badly.
@@blakksheep736 apparently there WAS fruit in there, albeit very ground up. it still sucked ass though.
And steal your information. It required an app to use. It was the golden age of IOT and making everything app enabled, even if it didn’t need to be, because that’s what venture capitalists want to hear.
OLPC wasn't too bad, shipped 3 million units and actually made an impact on the industry. That's a far cry of what Theranos did.
Elizabeth Holmes is so damn creepy. Her and Zuckerberg could make one of the best scary movies of all time and they would only need to be filmed together being themselves.
5:40 actually the pen changed a lot in the last 2 hundred years, feathers- steel point - fountain - ballpoint (1888)
But mainly small iterations on the last 130
And, in 1965, the Fisher *Space Pen* was invented, allowing a ballpoint to write at any angle, in 0g, underwater, through grease, and extreme temperature ranges!
But the first popular was Biró''s Design in mid 1900
But does your pen have ✨wi-fi✨ thooo?
It’s like installing HDMI ports into your tire

11:38 - Those eyes are scarier than my sleep paralysis demons.
“Here’s all the things that matter, here’s a robot that doesn’t” Nailed it! Actually made me laugh out loud on the bus.
When I first saw the Juicero ad, I honestly thought it was a skit.
Juicero would have loved if you just bought the packets. See, they sold the juicero at a loss of at least $400 a unit. It was like selling a printer at a loss because the ink is so profitable. AvE dismantled one and found it was top machined parts. Unfortunately they turned out to not be so hackable, at least not easily. It was a silent 10+ ton press.
@Raghav Dinesh different business model
@@HankHill1 That's what he's saying. They should have just sold juice in bottles. Not even bothers with the machine.
How the hell did they manage to make a machine whose only job is to squeeze a package that expensive?
@@Ansalion It's a silent 10-ton press that can sit on your counter. So there's that. But also dismantling it, it was obvious no expense was spared. Every part was custom, every metal part was machined ($$$), not cast or stamped.
Yeah they thought they could pull a Gillette or electronic toothbrush move (oral-b/sonic) but what ruined it was that this “presser” was not necessary to get the juice
Over 500,000 subs! Great achievement Coffee!! 💪🏻

actually exactly 500k
Woot woot!!
16:44 the moment Coffeezilla realised it was a scam
The little robot Jibo is really cool, I liked it. I am glad to see that it's having a second life with the new owners.
500k congrats broski.
People suffer because of ignorance and fear, I bless the day I met this kind gentleman named sir Barry Silbert from NewYork City, who is a professional crypto and forex trader who helped change my financial status. At first I thought it was all a lie until he flipped my first investment of $1k to $13k just in a week, after then I have been investing heavily with him and getting good weekly returns.
If everybody in the world can take Crypto investments very serious I think the world will be a better place because everyone will be at the benefiting side
Prof Barry Silbert has proven to be a wonderful investor over the years and now this wonderful scheme of helping others is an opportunity we all shouldn't mess with
,,,.Your story looks a little similar like mine, my husband is a truck driver and am a house wife, but during a little research online, I was able to find a means of income even at home, i got to know of a professional Crypto broker Sir Barry Silbert, who invested with just $1000 and started making profits every week and my husband got to find out and was really happy with me and also started investing with him too.
At first when I heard about investing with Mr Barry I didn't believe it until my friend got his profits within a week. I was moved to join the moving train
Fun fact is, I believe those are the same laptops that the government of Uruguay started giving away to every kid and teen here as part of a technological program that seemed to have been a success. I believe are those exact laptops as they are called "xo" here which is exactly the logo those laptops have.
Huh neato.
Omg, I had the one laptop per child program at my school, in Australia. I had to do courses on it and learn the programs (As a teacher, not a student). It had basic coding in it and other stuff but I only remember the coding program with the turtle.
Not too sure but i think the program youre talking about was the python turtle thing!! I remember learning it too
There is a logo-version on it? Hey, I made my first tries at programming on one of those. Of course that was in the eighties.
Like watching a very polite idubbbz 8 years later
I think the reason elizabeth comes off so creepy is because I think we all have to some degree a gut feeling when we know something is off. Which makes sense because her whole persona is fabricated. Idk about anyone else but when I heard her voice the first time I immediately could tell it was fake, and you just realize how much of her appearance or public person is carefully curated to decieve you. She gives me the same vibes I get watching interviews with murderous sociopaths
On top of that, I don't know if its the make up or her blue eyes...but her eyes are HUGE. Like buy eye huge. It’s weird
@@devilchomps3295 im 100% certain theyre contacts. Her voice is also quite unique.
@@devilchomps3295 It's the make up that blow things out of proportion. When you look at recent pictures of her without the clown make up, she look relatively normal, though her eyes are still quite deep blue.
She's creepy cuz she hasn't blinked once in that video. 😓
Nah she’s just creepy because she doesn’t look like she can understand that humans blink
Did Theranos girl purposely shine a specialized light in her eyes to make them reflect like that?
No, she's just a creepy android
Ring lights on cameras have a similar, yet way less creepy, effect on eye reflections.
She didn’t blink even once. Absolutely terrifying.
Ring light haha
The ring light creates the reflection of the ring in her eyes, her eyes looking creepy are just because she's weird af and she intentionally doesn't blink
That one juicero asmr-esque video lives in my head rent free
I like that Ann is supposed to be this demented grandma, but she looks like she is about to hit the club...
11:29 those are the eyes you see right before you get killed by the snake that's lunging at you
Not gonna lie. I wouldn't mind having a Coolest Cooler
It’s much more mundane compared to the evil that is Theranos. It’s cute almost.
Honestly like slap some solar panels on that bad boy and you got everything you need
I mean, a cooler with a built in blender, Bluetooth speaker, and portable charger? Who wouldn’t want one?
@@Glmorrs1 anyone who owns a backpack?
@@Glmorrs1 solar panels are not magic generators, you'd need a much bigger panel to make any kind of real difference, plus I don't trust that if you leave it on hot sand on a sunny day that the lithium batteries won't explode
9:54Remember when coffee had a robot bartender guy that I totally didn’t forget the name of. Hmm good times
Maxwell has returned
This video popped up in my feed, decided to look up the theranos stuff... Elizabeth just got sentenced to 11 years in prison 💀
Basically everyone in Silicon Valley are the types that think "The Homer" is a very well designed car
Silicon Valley has become a parody of itself.
Wait.. it isn't? :)
that laptop actually has the lowest power usage of any laptop I believe, and some of it's unique, if over ambitious, features are pretty impressive. I wish I still had the one I had as a kid. Slow as hell though
Ok, i can power a 2 watt bulb with a lemon. Does that low power usage also impress you?
@@thevalorousdong7675 my point is that even though it was underpowered, it pretty capable given the power it consumed. The fact that they even considered using a hand crank to power it shows how unique it's power usage is; no other computer with its capabilities can do that as far as I'm aware
@@porteal8986 whatever processor and RAM it had, which enabled its super low power consumption, should still be available to you and anyone else who'd like it. I highly doubt they were proprietary lol
@@porteal8986 They just needed to externalize the crank and add the possibility of solar. Making the crank part of the laptop is as silly as those old TV/VCR combos.
@@hakanwestergren9363 the crank was not a part of the laptop
Litteraly there’s juice in my veins.
Liver king entered the chat
Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen Elizabeth Holmes and Mark Zuckerberg in the same place, at the same time?!?
It's him in a wig
It would have been a hell of a marriage!
11:45 it's her eyes too. I mean in a different context she's beautiful. And her big eyes would be part of the reason why she's beautiful. But in this context of her talking about your blood... it all just becomes creepy.
There's also parts of her face that should move as she talks, but they don't. She's some sort of bloodthirsty android.
The XO laptop was adopted by the public school system in my country that purchased 450.000 units. So it was not a world wide success but is not a total failure ?.
The Theranos ad reminds of of those movies where the villian has just took over the world and they are doing a world broadcast. It screams "you should definitely be running away right now".
doctor breen
11:34 female mark Zuckerberg
it actually scared me
