Back Market profite de la crise ? #TiangongUltra #Instagram #BlackMirror etc. ▪ (Replay) · Le Mug Nowtech

2:35
hello hello everyone It's
2:37
Tuesday, April 22, 2025 I'm Marion and this
2:41
morning I'm delighted to meet you
2:43
to discuss TAC news right
2:45
away It's the mug
3:09
Hello hello I'm going to turn up
3:11
the microphone a little bit Hop I hope it's
3:14
working better on your side that you can hear
3:16
me a little better We're
3:18
still adjusting especially we
3:19
changed console Uh so suddenly I
3:22
could more easily control uh
3:23
the level of my microphone because yes I
3:26
speak a little less loudly than uh
3:28
Mister Jérôme And so suddenly we have to
3:30
accommodate uh the change in
3:33
voice intensity There Uh so
3:36
I hope you can hear me well uh
3:38
in the chat room I hope you
3:39
are well especially that you had
3:41
a good weekend and that well there you are
3:44
for those who had a long
3:46
3-day weekend that you
3:49
enjoyed it a little less long Yes there
3:51
are there are there are certain parameters that
3:54
change between Jérôme and me between the
3:55
length of the show and and the
3:59
voice volume Yeah
4:01
absolutely How are things in the chat room
4:04
So hi Grob hi Bartou hi
4:05
Litticia Geek hi Pax Magalani hi Tekmi hi
4:08
Faca Diablotin hi Olex hi
4:10
Nico Dindon hi Vida Alid Aldide
4:14
sorry hi Awat 66 hi
4:18
Samuel hi hi Yvec Castel Poppy and
4:23
RAC past of the day Ah damn the pastisse
4:25
early in the
4:26
morning is a bit hard
4:30
anyway Hi Fi hi The Gabby King hi
4:34
Nounx Listen anyway I'm fine
4:37
We had a good rest this weekend A bit
4:41
of family too because well it's
4:43
nice too you have to make the most of it Uh hop
4:50
GN gne faut tout moi faut tout me
4:54
sum up anything but there you
4:58
go and so so we have the impression in
4:59
any case that it wasn't just us who
5:01
were on a break because the
5:03
tech news finally got rather quiet
5:06
this weekend so you'll see we're going to
5:07
do the little
5:10
recap of what happened this
5:12
weekend but in any case we feel that the
5:14
journalists were also on a long
5:15
weekend so in any case in terms of the
5:18
program this morning eh we're going to talk uh
5:22
we're going to talk again about tariffs tariffs and
5:25
especially how companies are
5:26
potentially impacted by the
5:29
customs tariffs that Donald Trump is trying to
5:31
put in place that he's trying that he's putting on
5:34
hold uh there you go but he says again
5:37
no but we're going to we're going to discuss it again
5:39
it's not over And so suddenly a
5:40
little bit of all this back and forth creates a
5:43
climate uh of uncertainty that
5:46
companies don't like since they're going to have
5:48
difficulty planning their production chain
5:51
to plan their production strategy uh
5:53
et cetera And so suddenly well
5:55
there are some who are going to make certain
5:57
decisions So in particular we're going to talk about
5:59
a company called Ambernic I do
6:02
n't know if I'm pronouncing the name correctly
6:04
because I didn't know
6:05
this company It's a company in fact
6:07
that is known for producing
6:08
devices that emulate in fact the
6:09
video game consoles of the first five uh
6:12
generations We have in particular uh
6:15
uh consoles that will emulate the
6:16
games of the NES of the Sega Genesis of the
6:18
Game Boy, the SNES, the PlayStation,
6:20
the Nintendo 64, and so on, as well as
6:23
more recent consoles from the 7th
6:25
generation, such as the PlayStation portable
6:27
or the Nintendo DS. But hey, it's
6:28
known in any case for producing this type
6:31
of device that emulates
6:34
video game consoles, especially
6:35
the first generation. So really
6:37
retro gaming. And so,
6:39
obviously, it's going to be impacted by the
6:42
tariffs that Donald Trump tried to put
6:44
in place, yes or no, depending on whether it's
6:46
suspended, and so on, but so this
6:49
climate of uncertainty doesn't please him.
6:52
So we'll come back a little bit to
6:53
what announcements she
6:55
made on this subject. And besides, it's going to
6:57
particularly concern
7:00
American consumers. And then we'll
7:02
talk about another company that makes
7:05
consoles. We'll talk about
7:07
Nintendo. Then we continue. I could, I
7:09
could update you on my
7:12
personal decision to pre-order or not the
7:16
Nintendo. You can, the Switch 2,
7:19
you can, uh, throw tomatoes at me
7:21
depending on whether you agree or
7:23
disagree with my decision. Uh,
7:26
there you go. And uh and so we will come back
7:29
to what is happening with the
7:31
pre-order especially of the Nintendo
7:33
Switch 2 in the United States because I
7:35
remind you that following the
7:37
price announcements and well precisely uh the
7:39
pre-orders were put on hold We did
7:40
n't have a date uh since Nintendo
7:43
was trying to see a little
7:45
more clearly before making a decision
7:46
Well that's it they made a decision
7:49
Uh so we will come back to it what does
7:50
that mean for in any case
7:52
the
7:54
American consumers And then we will talk about
7:56
another company and this time
7:58
French for which finally what is
8:00
happening on the other side of the Atlantic well
8:03
will perhaps benefit it namely
8:05
it is back market Back market is a
8:08
company which allows to acquire
8:11
in any case second-
8:14
hand uh reconditioned devices So whether it is
8:16
smartphone VO they are very well known
8:18
in particular for smartphones but not
8:19
only Uh and they are present in the
8:22
United States and that finally and well with
8:24
the market which is tightening and the prices
8:28
potentially increasing and
8:29
the uncertainty and Well, potentially it
8:31
can boost the refurbished market
8:34
and therefore all to the advantage of the
8:36
back market. We will come back
8:38
to this subject a little bit, but potentially for
8:41
the French company it would be a
8:43
rather favorable climate.
8:45
And then we will go to
8:48
the space side. This time we will move away a
8:50
little bit from the market war
8:52
to go and fly into space or
8:55
not. We will potentially talk about a
8:58
service that enters into competition, in
9:00
any case, which is intended to enter into
9:03
competition with Starlink. Starling is
9:05
obviously the galaxy of
9:11
satellites that Elon Musk is setting up
9:14
with his companies to be able to
9:15
cover and offer an internet service
9:18
via satellites. And so we will
9:20
not talk about Starlink this morning, but
9:22
we will talk about the Creeper project, which
9:26
would be supported by Amazon. You know,
9:28
right? Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,
9:32
tech giants who are a little bit in
9:33
competition on certain subjects
9:35
concerning business in space.
9:38
And so we will talk about the
9:40
Cooper project, which has faced certain
9:42
delays, and so there in particular we would have
9:44
more visibility on the launch of the
9:46
first satellites of the Creeper project into orbit
9:50
And then we will continue and
9:52
we will do a little a little theme
9:55
artificial intelligence and Black
9:59
Mirror Here is the little crossover of
10:03
this morning We will start first with
10:07
artificial intelligence and in particular
10:09
a new advertisement from Apple which
10:12
demonstrates
10:13
new features not so
10:15
new but in any case
10:18
artificial intelligence functionality which could appeal to the
10:20
general public And I found the
10:22
ad rather good You will tell me a
10:24
little bit of news and then after we will
10:27
continue this time with Instagram
10:29
Instagram which is still trying
10:31
to show white paw to
10:33
the European Union by showing a little
10:35
bit of the efforts they are making to
10:38
identify in a more proactive way
10:42
uh the uh the uh the
10:44
teenage accounts
10:48
Excuse me I was distracted by
10:51
an old
10:52
photo of Jérôme and me of an old mug
10:56
which is posted in
10:59
channel of the earpiece and so it
11:02
seemed strange to me that we see each other again so
11:03
young Uh anyway time passes so I
11:06
come back So we will talk Instagram, which
11:09
is, in any case, doubling its efforts to
11:11
identify the accounts of people who
11:13
are not adults on the platform,
11:15
thanks to
11:16
artificial intelligence. So we'll come back
11:18
to that a little bit and what form it takes. And
11:21
then we'll talk
11:23
about artificial intelligence again, but this
11:25
time about two students from Colombia,
11:28
who got their
11:29
fingers rapped precisely for having developed
11:31
a way, a tool that allows them to,
11:34
how to say cheat, cheat,
11:38
with regard to
11:41
coding knowledge, code,
11:45
software engineering, and which, as a result, did
11:48
n't please Colombia, but it did please
11:50
certain investors who decided
11:52
to invest in their company that is currently being set
11:55
up. And so it's quite
11:56
interesting how, in the end, being
11:59
motivated by cheating and simplifying or making
12:01
life easier for yourself can also give rise to
12:03
business ideas that we like or
12:05
not. There you go, Colombia has taken its role. These
12:09
students have surfed on, well, their,
12:14
how to say innovation and idea. We'll see
12:18
what you think if it's more of a
12:19
positively innovative
12:22
or something rather creepy
12:24
rather Black Mirror We'll come back to it we'll
12:27
come back to it together later But
12:29
in any case it's quite funny to see
12:31
how students can innovate
12:33
with this idea of wanting to cheat
12:34
simplify their lives It's not the first
12:36
time besides we'll come back to it
12:38
later And then after we will finish we will
12:40
finish with a race uh which
12:43
took place a half-marathon which
12:45
took place in Beijing uh recently uh and which
12:48
finally put in competition
12:50
both humans and
12:53
humanoid robots And so we know eh
12:55
humanoid robots are always on the
12:57
border a bit of the creepy of the
13:00
creepy and well we will come back to it and we will see
13:02
what were finally the
13:04
performances of these humanoid robots
13:05
Knowing that not so long ago
13:07
it was still quite painful for
13:10
the robots in any case to manage to take
13:12
one step in front of the other In any case
13:13
especially for this problem of
13:15
humanoid robot which must therefore suddenly
13:17
walk move on two legs And
13:20
so has there finally been
13:22
progress on this type of robot Well we'll
13:24
talk about it later In any case
13:26
there has been progress but there's
13:28
still a long way to go That's it And then we'll
13:30
talk about it to obviously talk about
13:32
the last season of Black Mirror which
13:35
is available uh right now So
13:38
we'll see if some of you have seen
13:40
in any case maybe the first
13:41
episodes or maybe binached the
13:43
last season It's a series
13:45
anyway not quite difficult to binch
13:47
watcher I won't recommend but
13:48
I suggest we finish on that
13:50
this morning That's it for the
13:53
program anyway quite varied
13:56
I hope you're interested in it In
13:59
any case I find my account there I hope
14:00
you too I suggest we
14:02
start right away with the first
14:04
news which will take us on a journey into
14:06
retro gaming with the company en bernic
14:10
As I told you in the introduction en
14:11
Bernic is a company which is uh
14:13
specialized in the uh the
14:16
construction in any case or the putting in
14:18
uh in marketing uh
14:20
of devices which finally emulate uh
14:23
video game consoles of the
14:25
first five generations mainly
14:28
such as the NES the Sega Genesis the Game
14:30
Boy the SNES and the PlayStation as well as
14:33
the Nintendo 64 but not only that but
14:35
it is very well known for that And so
14:38
there you have it is a company very well known for
14:40
fans of retro gaming And why are we
14:43
interested in it Because in fact it
14:44
announced that it was going to
14:47
finally stop sending devices from
14:50
China from its Chinese companies
14:53
on American soil And so suddenly well
14:56
immediately it obviously impacts the
14:58
American consumers of the brand
15:01
since it will therefore stop sending
15:03
its devices from China to the United States
15:05
Uh and all this is obviously due to the
15:07
climate of uncertainty following this
15:09
war of tariffs uh and
15:12
customs taxes uh by which in fact uh
15:13
Donald Trump or in any case
15:14
the Donald Trump administration uses
15:16
to make a real
15:18
commercial standoff with China
15:21
Previous operation was with the world
15:23
since they had imposed
15:25
global tariffs internationally But after
15:28
finally they repeated to say
15:30
"No no but ok we can negotiate." And
15:32
so while we negotiate we're going to
15:34
pause we're still going to
15:35
apply a + 10% for everyone
15:37
but we're going to
15:39
pause the tariffs by country except for
15:42
China So that clearly shows that it was
15:44
still a real lever here to
15:46
force China's hand And so
15:49
suddenly in this climate of still
15:50
strong uncertainty and well took the
15:53
decision to pause all
15:56
shipments of these devices from China to the
15:58
United States So there is still a
16:00
little uh uh a little tip is that
16:03
uh you will be able to see in any case
16:05
on the Ambernic website uh the stocks
16:08
which are available directly in
16:09
the warehouses which are already in the
16:11
United States and therefore which for the moment
16:14
are not under the cost in any case of
16:15
customs taxes since suddenly they
16:17
are already on American soil So
16:19
suddenly be careful for those who are
16:21
on American soil when you
16:24
look potentially to order
16:25
on the Ambernic website from which warehouse
16:29
sorry the devices are sent because
16:32
you will still be able to benefit from
16:34
devices which are still in stock
16:36
in the American warehouses of the
16:39
company But well, it's
16:40
still bad news for
16:43
retro gaming fans in the United States,
16:46
potentially they might
16:48
change their minds in the future, but they
16:49
'll certainly wait to see a
16:51
little more clearly on these
16:54
customs and tax policies. And it's true that in
16:56
fact it falls under the cost of two
16:58
tax changes at the same time, the
17:00
customs tax, which
17:03
obviously doesn't suit them, but also
17:07
the exemption, which was applied to
17:09
packages that were worth
17:12
less than $800 and therefore
17:14
benefited from a reduction
17:17
in taxes, and which was
17:20
removed to counter the rise
17:24
of TMU and China. So that too was
17:27
an exemption that was valid, at
17:29
least on American soil, and
17:31
was lifted to combat the spread, at
17:35
least on American soil, of the nibbling away
17:37
of TMU and China's market share on
17:40
American soil. And so it
17:41
obviously affects Bernique as well. of the same
17:46
of the same effect what
17:49
And I don't know if there are
17:50
any of you who have
17:53
ambernques in in the I see that
17:55
Patitus by the way asked the same the
17:57
same
18:00
question there is no answer So
18:02
I imagine that finally there are there are
18:05
few fans of retro gaming in the chat
18:15
room Hi Hi everyone Hi to all
18:18
those to whom I haven't I haven't said hello yet
18:22
by the way Guillaume uses one
18:24
Okay Ah well I didn't know you see Ah
18:27
that wouldn't surprise me Yeah he also liked to
18:30
tinker So retro gaming that wouldn't surprise
18:32
me
18:34
too much Neo you didn't know Well
18:36
listen that's how we learn a
18:39
little every
18:40
day It's worse than niche at this level
18:43
Oh I don't know anyway especially for
18:46
a generation like ours Well
18:49
I grew up with the Nintendo 64 for
18:51
example or the Game Boy et cetera
18:54
So therefore I find that it's still
18:57
not that We could in any case be an
19:02
interested public Moix retrogaming yes a little
19:04
but not in a barnacle Okay
19:09
It's there I don't even have time for
19:10
real gaming So retro
19:13
gaming I understand I
19:17
understand I understand I understand So
19:20
here it is in any case for a company in
19:23
any case which has taken the decision to
19:25
pause its shipments on
19:28
American soil I remind you it's really
19:29
between China and the United States It does
19:31
n't affect the rest of the world for
19:33
the moment Uh but suddenly there is
19:35
another company that we can talk about it's
19:37
obviously Nintendo We already talked about it
19:40
last week I
19:41
also told you about the difficult choice of
19:43
"Should I pre-order
19:45
the Switch 2 or not?"
20:01
And so, uh, there was this question of Nintendo, which had paused, or at least had not launched pre-orders, and it's still a fairly, uh, quite huge and radical decision on the part of Nintendo not to put in place, uh, pre-orders
20:03
at the same time, uh, in the United States, and that
20:05
has a real business impact, eh,
20:07
for Nintendo, even if it's just to
20:09
postpone the pre-orders. And so,
20:12
they were waiting to see a little more
20:13
clearly in the end, in the measures taken
20:15
by the Trump administration,
20:18
because really, they finally
20:20
came at exactly the
20:23
wrong time for the launch of
20:26
pre-orders for the Switch, eh,
20:28
because if we go back over the story a little bit,
20:30
uh, if we recap a
20:33
little bit, well, they had announced the
20:36
new Nintendo Switch, and then just
20:39
a few days later,
20:41
the Trump administration had announced
20:44
this whole series of tariffs,
20:46
uh, against China and
20:48
other countries, which had led
20:51
Nintendo to back down. postpone uh the date
20:55
uh of uh the opening of
20:56
pre-orders in the United States and Canada
20:59
which was supposed uh finally uh to be
21:02
launched uh on the 9 uh the 9 uh
21:05
April 9 I think or around uh
21:09
yes that's it April 9 which had
21:10
really been largely postponed Uh and
21:13
so suddenly well tolerated anyway uh
21:16
within the community uh of
21:19
Nintendo fans because it's still a
21:22
real impact for them And that's
21:24
finally it at the end of last week
21:27
Nintendo announced that they were going to
21:29
open pre-orders for the Nintendo
21:32
Switch 2 uh from uh of
21:36
April 24 So this week it's the 22nd and
21:40
so suddenly it's Thursday So Thursday
21:44
pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2
21:47
will
21:48
open in the United States and Canada so
21:51
in the two regions which were
21:53
waiting a little bit here Uh and uh
21:56
other information because certainly the
21:58
pre-order date uh is announced
22:01
but at what price That was the other big
22:03
question that Nintendo was going to
22:05
ultimately reflect the
22:08
market tension and this this yes
22:12
this tension which is there which is present
22:14
at the moment in the prices for
22:15
consumers And well for the moment
22:18
they said no Pre-orders will
22:21
open at the original announced price
22:23
that is to say 450 dollars for the
22:26
Nintendo Switch 2 and 500 dollars for
22:30
the Nintendo Switch 2 combo with Mario
22:34
Kart World the famous launch bundle
22:37
which is available and therefore which will
22:40
certainly apply to
22:41
the various bundles which were at this
22:42
price because there was not only the
22:44
Mario Kart World bundle And so suddenly
22:47
uh that is still rather good
22:49
news for consumers and in
22:51
addition the fact of the uncertainty which is
22:53
present perhaps that will finally
22:55
precipitate people who will say no
22:57
but I will perhaps wait and
22:59
say to themselves well finally given the uncertainty of the
23:02
market I will perhaps buy
23:03
sooner than expected to avoid a
23:06
price increase
23:08
later if the taxes are confirmed and
23:11
so on So we will see we don't really know eh
23:14
here in what direction will this play for
23:15
Nintendo uh given the current climate Will
23:17
it play in their favor or
23:19
against them We don't really know Uh so
23:22
in any case here's what to remember Uh
23:24
pre-order date open in the United States and
23:27
uh in Canada next Thursday April 24
23:30
So this week The prices of the
23:32
Nintendo Switch 2 and the bundle with
23:35
Mario Kart World remain at the announced price
23:39
On the other hand, certain accessories
23:41
will receive
23:44
price adjustments following market conditions In
23:46
any case that's what Nintendo says uh
23:48
And so there I can give you a little
23:50
bit of the impact at the level of the
23:53
accessories Uh so we have in terms
23:55
of impact uh the new Switch 2 camera
23:58
which will go to 55 dollars whereas it
24:00
was announced at 50 dollars We
24:03
also have the new Switch Pro
24:07
Controller I don't know at all what it
24:08
is You see that I am still very
24:10
very I am discovering the world of the
24:13
Nintendo Switch So the
24:16
Switch 2 Pro Controller goes to 85 dollars
24:19
instead of 80 dollars announced We
24:21
also have a pair of Joycon 2 the
24:24
classic controllers eh of the Switch
24:26
2 but the 2nd generation since they are
24:29
different between the Switch 1 and the
24:31
Switch 2 And so there they were announced
24:34
at 90 dollars they increase to 95 dollars
24:37
You see a little bit of the trend that 5
24:38
dollars more a little everywhere And then
24:41
also the Joycon Charging Grip which
24:45
goes to 40 dollars whereas it had been
24:48
initially announced at 35 dollars
24:51
So you see that a little bit most
24:52
of the accessories finally Nintendo
24:54
Switch have an increase of 5 dollars
24:58
It's not nothing because
25:00
the accessories had already been finally there
25:03
they had I had seen a lot
25:05
of comments saying that they were
25:06
quite expensive I have trouble
25:09
finding my way because there I am discovering a
25:10
little bit of the universe and so suddenly well
25:13
there it is not it is not going in the right direction
25:14
for the consumers So so there
25:16
In any case for everything that is Joycon
25:18
joystick controller cameras et cetera they
25:21
have on average 5 dollars more added
25:25
to the original announcement price So like
25:28
that it gives you a little bit of a reference
25:30
for those who were asking the questions
25:33
Uh what more can I tell you
25:34
For those who are on
25:36
American soil you will therefore be able to
25:38
order directly from Nintendo
25:40
or simply from resellers
25:42
since Best Buy GameStop Walmart and
25:44
Target have confirmed that they
25:47
will also open
25:48
pre-orders on the same day Thursday
25:51
April 24 So there you don't need
25:54
to change your habits you will be able to
25:56
benefit from pre-orders at your
25:58
resellers uh finally at your
26:00
favorite resellers for those who are concerned
26:03
Uh and uh and there you go And
26:07
so what we know here is that
26:09
potentially at the beginning of the blow
26:10
Nintendo will sell or is ready to sell
26:14
in any case uh its first consoles
26:18
a little at a loss eh since suddenly well
26:20
there with the uncertainty they
26:21
finally made the decision not to
26:23
increase the base price of the
26:26
Switch 2 It's still a
26:27
fairly important decision Here what we
26:30
also know is that Nintendo started to
26:34
move their production line to
26:37
Vietnam since 2019 And so it's true
26:40
that with the prices prices reciprocal and
26:43
well normally Vietnam was supposed to be
26:45
impacted at 46% which
26:47
is still quite colossal in the end
26:50
with the change of decision of the
26:52
Trump government and well it benefits
26:55
from the same global tax as everywhere as
26:58
all the other countries finally which is
26:59
uh the kind of flat tax at 10% for
27:02
all the countries except
27:04
China And so suddenly we also know that
27:06
Nintendo will try to increase and
27:08
accelerate the production of the Switch 2
27:11
precisely in these factories in Vietnam to
27:15
stay and deliver on time
27:18
for the countries which are impacted especially
27:20
in the United States So we will see but
27:24
it is still quite interesting
27:26
to
27:28
see So there you go for those who were
27:30
wondering what
27:32
the impacts would be and well you know
27:36
I look a little at your comments
27:38
concerning
27:43
Nintendo We have all the free retro games
27:46
with the Switch and the
27:48
online subscription Uh ah I did not take
27:52
the subscription So yes I pre-ordered
27:55
for those who were wondering
27:56
Yes I pre-ordered the Switch 2 I
27:58
cracked I cracked because well I
28:01
never bought myself a console So if
28:03
I had taken a Nintendo a Game Boy
28:06
Color a Game Boy Color but what
28:09
I had it was a second-hand Game Boy Color
28:11
that I had gotten at a
28:14
flea market So I had really paid
28:16
next to nothing Uh I hadn't played
28:19
much in the end Uh so that's
28:22
a bit of my fear too Uh so this is
28:24
my first new console that I bought
28:28
myself Uh and I said to myself
28:31
well here I am going to try the adventure Uh
28:34
and I took the Mario Kart
28:37
World so I took the Bundle and in
28:40
addition uh I took uh Zelda Tears of
28:44
the Kingdom
28:45
That's to have a few games at the
28:49
start So so I cracked but
28:52
I didn't take any accessories because
28:53
as I don't know anything about it I say to myself here
28:56
anyway the doc there they are
28:58
I have nothing I have nothing
29:01
more So so yeah I do
29:03
n't know much about the subscriptions and
29:04
company
29:14
Ah the game is included without
29:21
the subscription So here is Grob who was
29:23
asking himself the question "What had I pre-ordered
29:25
?" Well, that's it, I
29:28
pre-ordered You may have said it, but
29:30
is the Pro controller for the Switch 1
29:31
compatible with the 2 I'll be very
29:33
careful bro because I know that
29:37
the Joycon controllers are not
29:40
compatible so check
29:45
Uh but here's to check carefully A
29:49
priori Baraton says yes
30:00
Apparently
30:03
Uh what kills me and what no one
30:05
talks about is that like the first
30:06
Switch the hiding places are not
30:09
analog The triggers you mean
30:12
Ah yes
30:14
triggers Popo Marion in the game There you go
30:18
Wait I'll have to
30:19
share with you when I've received it that I'll
30:21
share with you a little bit my first
30:24
impressions of the Switch 2 and and
30:26
me who is dipping my toe in the
30:33
Nintendo gaming universe So and I only ordered one
30:35
of the two Zelda it's Jérôme who told me
30:38
Jérôme who doesn't know anything about it
30:40
and who doesn't like Nintendo who
30:42
recommended that I take Tears of the
30:44
Kingdom compared to Breath Breath of the
30:46
Wild Uh I was going naively take
30:48
Breath of the Wild because I think
30:49
it's the one I've heard the
30:51
most about Uh but finally I
30:53
took uh Tears of the Kingdom Uh did
30:55
I do did I make the
30:57
right choice Uh what do you
30:59
think in the chat room
31:01
Personally I have the console 1 Zelda plus Mario
31:05
Kart plus controllers plus Mario Jumby
31:10
Uh ah yes then on the other hand I will
31:11
not take at all everything that is
31:12
I looked a little eh but then I
31:14
am not at all platform game you
31:16
have to jump and all that it
31:18
stresses me I I will never buy this
31:21
kind of game I am really not at
31:23
all a customer But on the other hand I
31:25
have to look I was interested
31:27
in Animal Crossing but I don't know
31:29
yet if it is available for the Switch 2
31:31
or if it has been adapted or anything
31:32
I still have a little trouble
31:34
finding my way around the logic of
31:36
upgrading games and company I will
31:38
try to find channels to
31:39
follow the Nintendo Switch 2 news a little
31:43
We want Mario Kart stories Marion
31:46
versus Jérôme Uh well yeah I'm
31:48
still going to try to make him do it
31:50
because I love Mario Kart and I have
31:53
really crazy memories when
31:56
I was little playing with 4 of my
32:01
cousins and my brother to have
32:04
Mario Kart competitions It was but
32:06
great on the Nintendo 64 and in fact we
32:09
had a bit of a fight because my
32:10
cousins were Nintendo and my
32:12
brother and I were more PlayStation Sony
32:16
And so every time we
32:17
got together with cousins we
32:20
played the Nintendo 64 it was terrible
32:23
Uh so I have very very good
32:24
memories of Mario Kart Uh that's one of the
32:28
reasons why I here
32:29
nostalgia you see I was right in the middle of it
32:31
It's a bit of a reason
32:33
why I also wanted to try Uh and
32:36
I like the portable side too Uh
32:39
so we'll
32:41
see In terms of story it's not the
32:44
right order but yes uh Tears of the
32:46
Kingdom is more accomplished despite everything OK
32:49
Well at the same time I want to
32:50
tell you as I have never played any
32:52
Zelda
32:54
uh I still tell myself they must
32:57
accept that people start with
32:59
Tears of the Kingdom so they had to
33:01
make sure that it works
33:04
Uh you should have taken the
33:08
1 You're going to miss a part
33:11
Ah ok there are some There there are two schools
33:14
Tears of the Kingdom is the
33:15
improved version of Breath of the Wild so good
33:17
choice Well I think that if I don't
33:19
know anything about it I have to start with
33:20
a little of the best But if I'm
33:22
really a fan of Zelda
33:24
I would go back in
33:28
time Normally all the games are
33:30
intercompatible so there should be no
33:32
problem with Animal Crossing I
33:34
tell myself I'll start anyway with
33:35
two games it's not too
33:42
bad I'm told it will still pass
33:45
OK
33:52
Ah Garugari In short of the Voice I
33:54
rocked it and Tears of the Kingdom I spent
33:55
a lot more hours and happiness Well
33:58
ah there you make me
34:01
dream I'm going to miss the introduction in
34:04
the world OK
34:07
OK Breath of the World you can
34:09
buy it second
34:11
hand Yeah maybe
34:17
OK Litticia you just played of
34:38
the Kingdom it's your first and you loved it Well well too good But there are some who preferred it anyway There really are there really are both Well well listen here I started like that and then we'll see There are some who struggle
34:41
I didn't think it would
34:42
tear you apart so much knowing which
34:44
episode of Zelda to
34:49
start with Oh there there Hi Flonflon Hi
34:52
to you it's nice to see you So
34:54
there listen now you know I have I
34:57
cracked I pre-ordered the
35:00
Switch 2 I'll have to find
35:02
some friends who are also Switch 2 to play
35:05
together because I think that's
35:07
also a bit of the principle of the
35:09
Switch 2 is to play games
35:11
with several people So I'll have to
35:13
see a little I haven't managed
35:15
to convince Jérôme to get a
35:17
Switch 2 So so we'll
35:19
see
35:21
Uh it's talking about the best Zelda Oh no
35:23
Flanc Flon you're team Breath of the
35:25
Wild Well listen I was just saying
35:27
that I had taken I had pre-ordered the
35:29
Switch 2 and that I had taken Mario Kart
35:31
World and Tears of the Kingdom that I
35:34
didn't take Breath of the Wild So
35:38
there you go It's because of Patrick who
35:41
convinced you I admit that Patrick didn't
35:43
help me We can see that one way or
35:45
the other Uh he didn't help me to
35:47
stay reasonable and not to
35:49
pre-order the Switch 2 Uh so yeah
35:51
and what's more we saw him this weekend and
35:54
so we
35:56
talked about it again so there we go we're going to be able to
35:59
hate each other on Mario Kart Nickel I'm going to
36:02
have to train because then
36:04
I haven't played Mario Kart since since
36:08
my childhood since the Nintendo 64
36:12
So I must be but rusty
36:15
But I loved I loved Mario Kart So so
36:18
I'm so excited now I'm
36:19
so excited to have it between
36:21
hands and to train myself uh to throw
36:24
shells and bananas
36:27
and uh uh but well there you go And so I
36:30
'm quite uh quite curious too
36:32
since I saw that it's a
36:34
more open world whereas I was
36:36
really used to the circuits and
36:38
in particular the circuit in the stars
36:40
where you really had to not fall Uh
36:42
but uh but so I'm a little
36:45
curious
36:47
Uh so we'll see Listen see you
36:50
uh at the beginning of June Uh I hope so too that's
36:53
a bit of my fear Uh I ordered
36:55
with Fnac Uh I finally pre-ordered so
36:59
I'm a little scared Uh there were
37:02
still the pre-orders open
37:04
I hope I'll get it on
37:05
time That's a bit of my fear because
37:07
I saw a few reviews on Fnac
37:09
saying that sometimes they left the
37:10
pre-orders open but they did
37:11
n't deliver on time And so suddenly
37:13
I'm a bit like
37:14
that But but we'll we'll see we'll see Uh
37:18
so there you go see you at the beginning of
37:21
June In short, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
37:25
And so if you have
37:27
YouTube channels to recommend to me or
37:30
Instagram accounts X and so on or where
37:34
I forgot social networks it's
37:37
dramatic or other social networks
37:39
to have recommendations on
37:41
the Switch 2 news the best games
37:43
and everything uh go ahead send me then
37:47
because I have to train I'm
37:48
late I don't know anything I'm a
37:49
real noob
37:51
Uh Ah Flonflon you you have you have
37:54
withdrawn to go and get it and have to be
37:56
sure to have it day one Listen to me
37:58
I chose uh lazy and I chose
38:00
delivery I chose delivery Uh
38:03
there I say to myself good Paris
38:07
anyway like a true
38:10
Parisian So so we'll
38:15
see Ah no
38:34
Jérôme who says he's going to be able to get back to World of Warcraft Help We won't talk with Jérôme anymore We'll each be on our games It's promising the Nintendo Bros podcast Kenbogard's Bros friends Ah there I have to take a picture
38:36
uh I have to
38:38
remember
38:40
uh the smell of the
38:44
streamer Anyway, I suggest we
38:46
continue because we're
38:47
here to talk about tech and not just
38:49
video games So I suggest we continue
38:52
because we talked about the
38:57
Ambernic deal from Nintendo but we're going to
39:00
talk about a third company which
39:02
could also be impacted
39:04
by the tariff war and this
39:05
time it's the French company Back
39:08
Market and so we talked about
39:09
Nintendo and Berny which could be
39:11
negatively impacted but ultimately
39:13
Black Market for its part could
39:15
be positively impacted by the
39:18
tense climate between the United States and China
39:20
and this tariff war So
39:23
what is Back Market? Well, it's the
39:24
specialist in refurbished devices
39:27
And quite simply why could it
39:29
benefit from it? Well, because it could
39:30
ultimately increase its sales in the United
39:33
States. Indeed, according to CNBC, the site
39:36
saw its sales in the United States triple in
39:40
one week after the announcement of the
39:41
Trump administration's customs duties And
39:44
then there, well, we had in particular Thbo Hug
39:47
de la Rose, CEO of Back Market, who said,
39:50
well, maybe some people
39:52
rushed to replace their
39:54
smartphone or their computer rather
39:56
because they were afraid that it would
39:57
cost a lot more in a few
39:59
weeks and so maybe in the
40:01
end they opted for
40:03
reconditioning and so it is possible
40:05
that back market benefits from
40:07
two effects finally one is the fear
40:11
of the increase in customs duties and
40:13
the second is perhaps the change
40:15
in consumer habits And so if
40:19
the price of electronic devices
40:20
increases well more Americans
40:22
could decide to finally opt
40:24
for used or
40:25
reconditioned products instead of buying
40:28
new products And that ultimately is
40:30
rather a
40:32
positive trend instead of always opting
40:34
for the latest and the
40:37
ultra new and well potentially to
40:41
opt for reconditioned or
40:43
used And so that is why for
40:45
the moment the market for
40:46
electronic devices in the United States is still a little
40:48
uncertain and that
40:50
ultimately this uncertainty could
40:52
benefit uh back market Uh and so
40:55
suddenly we also have the analyst of IV
40:58
of Wbush who
41:00
also believes that the application of
41:02
customs duties if that If this continues, this
41:05
could
41:06
really cause a strong increase in the short
41:09
term in sales of used
41:10
or refurbished devices. So really accelerate
41:13
ultimately or offer a boost on this
41:16
change in purchasing habits and which
41:19
could well, here it is, upset the
41:22
logic of the sale of these devices and
41:26
which will upset Apple, Samsung,
41:30
Google, etc. Well, in short, all the
41:31
big names, finally, uh, both
41:33
for smartphones, but perhaps not
41:34
only. And so recently, Back Market had
41:37
announced a new campaign
41:40
against Fasttech, that is to say, the
41:42
overconsumption and overproduction
41:43
of electronic devices. And so
41:45
the objective was to
41:47
ultimately encourage consumers to reduce
41:49
electronic waste by reusing
41:51
and repairing devices. They had
41:54
also, uh, promoted the fact
41:57
of buying refurbished products,
41:59
obviously, since that's their entire
42:00
market. And above all, what was really
42:02
interesting was that they had also
42:04
announced a partnership
42:06
with the repair champion. And so that's how
42:09
Back
42:10
Market also found itself
42:11
marketing IFIX repair kits
42:13
directly on its website. And so
42:17
uh it will also offer
42:19
diagnostic tools to allow
42:21
consumers to know the condition of
42:22
their device and distribute tips
42:24
to extend their lifespan So there
42:26
it is true that I find that the
42:28
partnership between backket and if Iixit
42:33
which is really uh the uh media or
42:36
reference site on the repair uh
42:39
and DIY uh of electronic uh devices
42:41
is super smart here
42:44
for both And so it goes
42:46
completely in the direction of the
42:48
positioning of back market So in
42:51
any case bravo little French nugget
42:54
here Back Market which is already present
42:56
in the United States and which could therefore
42:59
surf on this tense climate to be able to
43:03
change a little the
43:05
purchasing habits and
43:07
so on Uh Flanfond he says "I would be
43:10
curious to know which population
43:11
keeps their phone the longest
43:13
France United States and so on." Yeah that
43:15
would be a good question Uh
43:20
I a priori historically from what we
43:23
know it is in fact it is not necessarily
43:25
linked to geography but rather linked to the
43:28
purchasing power uh of the population And
43:31
so the lower the purchasing power
43:33
the more uh
43:49
it will in any case uh force people to turn to reconditioned second-hand and so on So in fact you can correlate that a little to this trend there what So so to see But I have here I don't have the data in any case So in any case here you are
43:51
aware for Back Market We will see
43:53
it will take several months to see if
43:55
there are really trends Uh we will see
43:57
with the quarters if we will have the the
43:59
performances the figures announced
44:01
from the different tech companies and see a
44:03
little how that is reflected uh on uh
44:05
on uh their performance quarter
44:07
after quarter
44:09
what We continue and this time we
44:11
take a little break towards space
44:14
to talk about the project uh which is the
44:17
future competitor finally of Starlink
44:21
And we will talk about the uh of the
44:23
project uh Ceper uh from Amazon Uh and
44:26
so the satellite internet service
44:29
from SpaceX Well besides it's
44:31
not from SpaceX It seems to me that Starlink
44:33
is a separate company from SpaceX
44:37
But there I have a doubt maybe I'm
44:38
talking nonsense But
44:41
anyway we're going to talk about Starlink one
44:44
of Elon Musk's companies which
44:47
already has more than 3 million users
44:50
and which will ultimately have to
44:53
face the arrival of new
44:55
competition on the market since
44:58
Amazon Creeper will soon be launched They had
45:01
been unveiled in 2022
45:03
eh Creeper and it was soon to offer
45:06
a service similar to that proposed
45:07
by Elon Musk And so uh they have
45:10
already been able to uh place some
45:13
test devices in orbit but above all the
45:15
establishment of the Cuper constellation it
45:18
still seems to be quite
45:20
delayed So that's still a
45:23
small problem And so what we
45:25
know is that the first rocket
45:27
carrying the Creeper satellites
45:29
was supposed to take off originally April 9
45:31
This date obviously means something to us
45:33
but well here we are
45:34
interested in Cooper and finally
45:37
it had not taken place uh since there had been
45:40
weather conditions which were unfavorable
45:42
So it had been postponed but postponed we had
45:44
no date until now So on this
45:47
date of April 9 it was supposed to launch no
45:49
less than 27 satellites project CPER Uh
45:52
and so these were supposed to
45:55
be embarked on board an Atlas
45:58
V551 rocket manufactured by United Lunch Alliance
46:02
ULA uh by its little name and uh and
46:05
suddenly well it had not uh finally
46:08
taken place as planned because of the
46:10
weather conditions And so
46:12
suddenly well since then we had not had much
46:14
news but that's it UL announced the
46:16
spokesperson in any case announced the
46:18
date of the next launch and so it
46:20
should take place on April 28
46:23
so very very soon uh in a week so
46:26
next Monday So that is
46:29
rather good news for Amazon
46:31
since they most
46:33
certainly want to launch sooner rather than later
46:36
It will take place well as usual
46:38
station Cape Canaveral Space Center in
46:40
Florida and so that will pave the way
46:43
for the first launch of the
46:45
service which will compete
46:47
with Starlink Uh thank you Flonflon you
46:50
confirm that Starlink does indeed belong to
46:53
SpaceX And so uh the director
46:56
of Amazon Andy Jassie affirms that the
46:58
Cooper project aims to provide
47:01
high-speed connectivity to the 400 500
47:04
million homes uh which do not
47:21
have it today as well as to the government and companies which are precisely looking for better connectivity and better performance in the most remote areas So there well it's really exactly the same positioning uh as Starlink at the beginning, that is to say to cover as a priority
47:23
areas which are not very well covered
47:26
by connectivity So so we'll
47:29
see And there is also Europe which will also
47:31
have to launch its fleet Yeah we will
47:33
obviously keep you informed when
47:36
we have more information on the
47:39
subject And then we continue we continue
47:42
this time on the side of
47:45
artificial intelligence with in particular the latest
47:48
Apple ad and I don't know if you
47:50
have seen it so in case I'm going to
47:53
show it to you Uh hop So without the sound uh
47:57
but I'm going to hop show it to you a
48:00
little bit
48:01
here Hop
48:08
There And so you can obviously find it
48:10
in the Naotech flipboard
48:12
eh if you want to see it And so
48:13
quite simply you see a
48:16
very
48:18
stylish young man taking a photo of himself helped most
48:21
certainly by his mother And the problem
48:23
is that he sees that finally
48:25
etth well his mother is in all the uh
48:27
photos since there was the mirror
48:30
behind And so he will be able to use
48:32
the Apple Intelligence functionality
48:35
to be able uh well correct and erase
48:39
uh the unwanted uh photographer on
48:42
the uh on the shots and therefore be able to
48:45
send his photos I don't know maybe
48:47
on social networks to his friends with
48:48
whom he does bodybuilding et cetera
48:50
et cetera But yes the 70s hairstyle
48:53
it is it is funny what Uh I
48:56
find it very very very
48:59
funny After we saw the mullet which
49:01
comes back So you see how
49:04
everything is everything is
49:09
possible Uh so here is the hairstyle
49:12
of the first Hulk Yeah that's exactly it
49:13
Yeah it's the hairstyle of the first
49:15
Hulk Yeah
49:18
So so here is the little
49:20
advertising campaign that promotes Apple
49:24
Intelligence with well little tips
49:26
for correcting photos and the famous
49:29
magic eraser which is still super
49:32
easy to use super practical because
49:35
I think that it has happened to all of us
49:36
to have a little a little defect
49:38
maybe an untimely finger on the
49:41
lens and so on potentially which
49:43
will allow us to correct these little
49:45
defects
49:47
easily So there you go I find that
49:49
it's still pretty well done and
49:51
once again well Apple remains quite
49:53
true to its DNA which was not to
49:56
focus only on technology
49:58
but above all on the use and the value
50:01
that these new little
50:03
features or these applications
50:04
can give to the general public And so
50:06
there with this use case uh everyone
50:09
can project themselves easily and it does
50:12
n't take itself seriously So that
50:13
works pretty
50:15
well Uh so uh so there I
50:17
liked it I find that it
50:18
works well and uh there is not more there is
50:21
not much more to say
50:22
than that
50:24
I look at your comments a little
50:26
in the chat
50:32
Trom uh Lia is making crazy things but
50:35
Apple all they have to put
50:36
forward is a magic eraser that has existed
50:37
for centuries Yeah Olec I
50:40
still find you Olec You're not
50:43
tired of being grumpy anyway
50:45
Maybe it has existed for
50:47
centuries but as easily as that well
50:50
maybe not and maybe not as
50:51
well done as that quite simply I admit eh
50:54
frankly one of the things
50:56
that simplified my life the most is
50:58
really all these tools a little bit
51:00
I use them more with Adobe
51:03
Adobe and Photoshop but it works
51:05
really well Not all the time all the
51:08
time but it still works pretty
51:09
well
51:15
So frankly yeah I think
51:17
it's
51:19
good Ah surnus tells us "On the other hand
51:22
Apple's magic eraser works much
51:23
less well than Google's."
51:35
Yes yes No but I know that the
51:38
magic eraser didn't wait for Lia to exist
51:41
I was using Photoshop before
51:42
Lia was added eh Olec
51:46
thanks But hey that doesn't mean that
51:48
it's not
51:49
improved whether in terms of
51:51
performance efficiency and so on
51:56
In any case there it makes it accessible to the
51:58
greatest number of people and not just to
52:00
professionals Uh so I find it
52:02
quite interesting We know
52:04
that Apple has never been the first to
52:06
release something anyway
52:08
It has never been their
52:11
positioning We
52:14
also say Yeah So you seem
52:16
quite unanimous on Google's
52:20
After uh anyway you will
52:23
use the functionality that
52:24
you have natively on your smartphone
52:28
So I'm not very worried about
52:29
Apple versus Google and so on
52:33
here So so there you go In any case here is a
52:36
funny little ad that shows in any
52:38
case a little what we can do in
52:40
terms of adoption even if you are the
52:43
first to complain about the fact that it's
52:45
not new We agree on that We
52:49
continue and this This time it's
52:51
another way of using
52:53
artificial intelligence, this time on
52:55
Instagram's side, to try to
52:57
more easily identify the accounts of
53:00
minors on the platform. And so it
53:03
shows a little bit how MTA is
53:04
intensifying its efforts to
53:06
simply identify teenagers who lie about
53:09
their age. And so this will be
53:13
deployed on Instagram
53:14
initially. And so what they're
53:17
going to do is they're going to use
53:19
AI to more quickly and easily identify
53:23
suspicious behavior, behavior that they're going to
53:25
associate with a
53:28
typical adolescent age, and which will
53:30
automatically convert the account into a
53:33
Tin account, which is quite new
53:35
since it was announced
53:36
recently. And so with this, this
53:39
adolescent account will benefit
53:41
from a label and
53:44
enhanced protection since interactions will
53:46
be limited, and by filtering the
53:49
content, it will also be filtered. And so
53:52
this is aimed specifically at
53:54
users who are under 16. And
53:56
so any modification of these
53:58
settings will require
54:01
parental authorization. So there
54:03
really is a parental control content filter
54:06
uh et cetera Same for
54:09
who they can interact with So that's
54:11
quite quite interesting And so
54:14
the AI will be used to identify
54:17
the age uh and in particular
54:21
uh uh they will use
54:23
indicators like the analysis of
54:25
publications like happy birthday or
54:28
reports from other users
54:30
and Brive will most certainly use
54:32
the analysis of perhaps comments
54:35
or the types of accounts that you follow
54:37
et cetera Well what does that mean
54:39
if in the end my account is
54:42
labeled Tin and count compared to
54:44
only the accounts that I
54:46
follow to see But but there you go So
54:50
obviously Instagram is aware that
54:51
there may be errors and
54:54
they have nevertheless put in
54:55
place measures to guarantee the
54:57
accuracy of the AI and allow
54:58
miscategorized users obviously
55:01
to modify their settings But but
55:03
here's what they say what they say
55:05
in any case the company in its
55:07
blog post they say the digital world
55:09
continues to evolve and we must
55:11
evolve with it And so that's why
55:13
it is important that we work
55:14
with parents to ensure that
55:17
as many
55:18
teenagers as possible benefit from the
55:19
protection settings offered by their Tin
55:23
accounts. And so the company is announcing
55:25
the sending of notifications
55:27
to parents reminding them of the importance
55:29
of discussing with their teenagers the
55:31
need to give their
55:33
real ages. MTA also emphasizes that
55:36
verifying the accuracy of the date
55:38
of birth is the most
55:41
effective way for young
55:42
users to benefit from better
55:44
protection. And as a reminder, the
55:48
TIN account, as I was telling you, was
55:50
introduced relatively recently
55:52
since it was only two
55:54
weeks ago, and according to MTA, in fact, there are 54
55:58
billion teenagers who have
56:00
already been registered for this type of account
56:03
worldwide, and 97% of users
56:06
aged between 13 and 15 have kept
56:09
their protection. So it's rather
56:11
positive here, obviously, on the adoption of
56:15
these security measures. So
56:19
obviously, it goes in the direction of meta, that
56:21
goes in the direction of meta, making
56:24
efforts to protect the youngest and
56:26
etcetera on their presence on
56:28
social networks and so on Good to see eh it
56:31
still has a bit of rate but it's
56:33
still quite interesting to see what they
56:35
do and to finally use Lia to
56:37
try to detect via several
56:40
criteria finally this type of
56:43
account how to say suspicious Uh
56:48
there you go Xily if I get flagged
56:51
it's a compliment that I know how to
56:53
stay young in the head or a
56:56
criticism that I'm not
56:58
mature
56:59
Frankly that's seeing the glass
57:02
half empty or half full Choose
57:03
your
57:12
side So so there you go
57:19
It becomes intrusive if an algo analyzes
57:22
our content Well Wendigo I think it's been
57:25
a while eh that's the case
57:27
It's been a while
57:31
anyway that I I guarantee you
57:39
So wait you
57:41
say well the contents well if it's the
57:43
same
57:44
data it will analyze well your
57:47
comments the contents the types of
57:49
accounts that you
57:51
follow It's thanks to that a priori that will
57:54
identify the types of accounts
57:55
it's by
57:58
the activity So so there you go there are only
58:01
the private messages Yes Ah well,
58:02
by the way, OF 4, that's what you're
58:04
telling him. Only private messages
58:06
won't be read and won't be
58:07
analyzed.
58:10
So there you go, in any case, you've been warned,
58:13
I think that for parents anyway,
58:15
in any case, knowing that there's this kind
58:16
of tool at your disposal
58:18
also allows you to have a slightly
58:20
more serene approach with your teenagers to
58:22
help them use
58:25
this type of
58:27
social network more responsibly. In any case, we're
58:29
continuing with
58:31
artificial intelligence and this time, two
58:34
smart guys who managed to deceive Colombia.
58:37
Uh, what's it about? Well, quite
58:39
simply, on Sunday, this Sunday,
58:42
we have Chunging Roy Lee, who
58:46
announced that he had raised $5.3 million,
58:49
uh, for his new
58:53
start-up, for his start-up called
58:55
Clouie, which will offer an
58:58
artificial intelligence tool to
59:01
cheat on everything.
59:03
That's a bit like his tagline, his way of
59:06
presenting his company. He's going to
59:10
use AI to allow you to
59:11
easily cheat on everything. And so in
59:14
That's the little story of how
59:16
this start-up was born. I find it
59:17
quite funny. Lee posted
59:20
on X on the social network X
59:25
that he had been suspended from
59:27
Columbia University after he and this
59:29
supervisor had developed a tool
59:32
for, well, for cheating, for
59:37
cheating, during interviews, during
59:41
job interviews to become a
59:44
software engineer, a software engineer,
59:48
and so in fact this tool is
59:50
called Interview Coder and is
59:52
now part of the tools and
59:56
services offered by
1:00:28
the company Cloui, and in fact it offers a chance to cheat on things like exams, sales calls, job interviews, etc. ...
1:00:30
the interview And as if it
1:00:32
happens remotely you will be able to
1:00:33
do it without the person who is
1:00:37
interviewing you being aware
1:00:39
of it So that's where there is the notion
1:00:41
of cheating here And so suddenly Clouie the
1:00:44
company has published a manifesto
1:00:47
here and which uh in fact shows a little
1:00:49
bit how it positions itself in terms
1:00:52
of value proposition And it
1:00:53
positions itself in fact like inventions
1:00:56
the calculator or the
1:00:59
spell check which in fact had
1:01:02
tools advances innovations which
1:01:05
at the beginning were born from a desire to
1:01:09
cheat So I find that quite
1:01:11
funny the parallel that they use
1:01:13
because in fact there are lots of
1:01:15
tools and innovations which have
1:01:18
their source from well either because
1:01:20
they were people who were
1:01:21
lazy and they were looking to
1:01:22
simplify their lives And in fact in reality you
1:01:24
can have innovations and ideas
1:01:26
to simplify your life and be more
1:01:28
efficient with less effort That's
1:01:30
still the whole definition
1:01:32
of efficiency here Uh the desire to
1:01:35
cheat the desire also to make
1:01:37
things more accessible to the
1:01:39
greatest number of people And so if it
1:01:41
benefits people who need
1:01:42
a certain accessibility we can
1:01:44
realize that ultimately the entire
1:01:45
general public can benefit from it So there
1:01:47
are lots of
1:01:49
ways of seeing the world that will
1:01:53
push for innovation And that's where I
1:01:55
find it quite funny uh to see a
1:01:57
little bit of young people who are going to
1:01:59
break the codes a little uh and who are going to well yes
1:02:02
uh there you go who are going to uh break the rules
1:02:04
of the university but who ultimately are
1:02:07
also going to move things forward So well
1:02:09
it's not all black and white but in
1:02:12
any case I found it quite funny What I find
1:02:14
less
1:02:16
funny should still be noted What
1:02:19
I find less funny and quite creepy
1:02:23
quite black mirror is
1:02:27
the positioning of
1:02:30
the company where there we have
1:02:33
one of the two students I
1:02:35
remind you they are 20 21 years old on
1:02:37
average and they are going to use a way
1:02:40
to promote their company
1:02:42
a rather creepy and quite
1:02:46
worrying way of being able to use
1:02:49
their company and their tools So
1:02:52
I'm going to show you a little bit of the
1:02:53
video, you'll see that you'll
1:02:55
understand it. So what we see here is
1:02:57
one of the co-founders, Liroy,
1:02:59
you see at a table during a
1:03:02
date with a young woman,
1:03:04
and in fact he's going to lie about his age
1:03:06
since he's 21, he's going to say "Yes,
1:03:08
yes, I'm 30." And so she
1:03:11
looks a little sappy. She says, "Well,
1:03:12
you do look young." She
1:03:14
says "Yes yes." No, but I'm a
1:03:15
software engineer.
1:03:18
I've been working in the field for 8 years. And in fact,
1:03:20
you're going to have this kind of window
1:03:22
where, a priori, only he can see
1:03:25
and who will help him to answer
1:03:28
these questions in a very relevant way. And it's
1:03:31
the questions of the young woman he
1:03:33
has on a date with in order to be able to
1:03:36
get what he wants, that is to say, to have
1:03:38
a romantic relationship or
1:03:40
at least a dating relationship, to have one of the
1:03:42
dates with her.
1:03:44
Uh, and so you're going to see that
1:03:45
his card is going to be refused
1:03:47
because his sound was identified, his identity
1:03:50
could not be verified. So she
1:03:51
says, "No, no, but wait, you look
1:03:53
much younger, much too
1:03:55
young for me, I'm going to go, and so
1:03:57
on." Uh and so there he's going to try to
1:04:00
seduce her by having references in
1:04:02
art history and so on because that
1:04:04
will show that he's mature and so on
1:04:07
Uh and there you go And so suddenly
1:04:10
she's going to fall for it so to speak
1:04:12
until she says "Well
1:04:14
listen we can try to see each other
1:04:16
next week." She said, "Oh no,
1:04:17
but wait until next week, I have
1:04:18
something with my friends. Can we
1:04:20
meet next month?" And so she
1:04:21
said, "No, but go ahead, forget
1:04:23
it." Uh so
1:04:28
there you go and I can tell you that
1:04:31
indeed it's a little bit like Black Mirror
1:04:34
for me How awful I see your
1:04:35
comments in the chat room
1:04:40
But it's but there you go exactly OLC
1:04:42
exactly that in fact the video but in
1:04:45
scene is really the fantasy of pure
1:04:49
geek from the 90s what That is to say the
1:04:51
geek who has a little trouble with
1:04:53
social relationships who will use
1:04:55
technology to try to get by
1:04:56
seducing young women and so on
1:04:59
Uh and so really there is a notion
1:05:01
a little nostalgic a little geeky uh and
1:05:04
which I think can uh make the
1:05:07
tech bros of Silicon Valley laugh
1:05:10
from whom he will try to seek
1:05:12
investments And so that's where I
1:05:14
say to myself "OK well for him it's maybe
1:05:17
clever." Uh clearly there is a
1:05:21
cringe side one
1:05:24
side there is a side an embarrassing side
1:05:30
when you are on the other side obviously
1:05:32
of the barrier
1:05:33
what Well uh they are young uh they are
1:05:38
going there they play with humor et
1:05:40
cetera We will see what he
1:05:43
develops But in any case clearly there will
1:05:45
be there will be a notion
1:05:46
of ethics anyway at a
1:05:47
given moment that they will have to manage what Uh
1:05:50
there
1:05:55
And especially that in any case in addition this
1:05:57
scenario which shows it is something which
1:05:59
does not exist today with this
1:06:00
kind of screen which is invisible visible
1:06:02
only to him et cetera Uh obviously
1:06:04
in the future we come to imagine these
1:06:06
kinds of glasses which will be able
1:06:08
with augmented reality to display
1:06:10
things But we are not there yet We
1:06:12
are
1:06:27
not there yet I think that the advertiser has a bad idea of young people No I think that it is not necessarily having a bad idea of young people It is I think surfing on a very nostalgic and clichéd image of the geek several years ago Yeah which is not at
1:06:29
all the case today And I find that
1:06:32
on this he can surf on a wave
1:06:33
of nostalgia which can help to make himself
1:06:36
known and especially create a buzz And I
1:06:38
think that there they are in a
1:06:40
stage where they are trying to make themselves
1:06:41
known
1:06:42
So so that's why I think that
1:06:44
he is banking on that And so
1:06:47
to come back to that Lulie in
1:06:50
fact started as I was telling you
1:06:51
with a tool for developers to
1:06:53
help them to ultimately cheat on
1:06:56
their own knowledge and in particular
1:06:58
with the Lead Code platform which is in
1:07:01
fact a platform which will
1:07:02
allow you to answer
1:07:06
development questions uh and which is known in
1:07:08
fact in the circle of
1:07:12
software engineers and which in fact is considered
1:07:15
completely
1:07:16
outdated by most
1:07:18
engineers or in any case a waste of
1:07:20
time by engineers and so a
1:07:22
little bit of playing with that to shake up
1:07:24
the codes a little I think that it can
1:07:26
work rather well In any case he
1:07:30
told him that he had managed to get
1:07:32
an internship at
1:07:34
Amazon and that in any case they had
1:07:36
abandoned Colombia to launch their
1:07:39
own company what What is not there it is not
1:07:41
bad It is not the
1:07:42
first to do that
1:07:45
anyway So that's it for these two
1:07:47
students We'll see if they manage to
1:07:50
develop their
1:07:53
business Last last news that
1:07:56
I wanted to do this morning which is also a
1:07:57
bit reminiscent of Black Mirror
1:07:59
since we're going to talk about humanoid robots
1:08:02
and I know that in some episodes of
1:08:04
Black Mirror we had some too So that's why
1:08:07
I wanted to talk to you about it And
1:08:09
why Quite simply because this
1:08:10
weekend in Beijing a
1:08:14
rather unprecedented event was held, a half-marathon
1:08:17
where 21 humanoid robots participated
1:08:21
alongside no less than 12,000
1:08:23
human runners And so it's still a
1:08:25
world first organized
1:08:27
by several branches of the
1:08:28
Chinese government and which highlights both
1:08:32
the progress but also the
1:08:34
current limits of humanoid robotics
1:08:37
Indeed because in fact out of the 21
1:08:39
robots that participated, well there were
1:08:41
only six that finally managed
1:08:44
to cross the finish line And so that
1:08:46
shows a fairly
1:08:48
significant gap between the performance of the
1:08:49
machines beep and those of humans
1:08:52
Because in fact that means that all the
1:08:53
others either they had
1:08:54
malfunctions and so on in short they did
1:08:56
n't manage to cross the
1:08:59
finish line So that's still a
1:09:02
problem what on 21 And so what you
1:09:05
need to know is that even though the
1:09:06
humanoid robots had a
1:09:08
special course separate from that of the humans to be
1:09:11
able to have more safety and
1:09:13
also above all simplicity here
1:09:16
in the course And so what we see
1:09:19
in the video is that I'm going to
1:09:21
show you some extracts In any case the
1:09:23
race quickly turned into a
1:09:24
technical challenge for most of the rest
1:09:26
Almost all experienced
1:09:28
overheating problems during falls which required
1:09:31
the intervention of their
1:09:33
human operators Even the one who won uh finally
1:09:36
won the one among all the robots eh
1:09:39
who won the race that is to say who
1:09:41
managed to do the least the shortest
1:09:43
time Kengong Ultra still had to undergo
1:09:46
no less than three
1:09:47
battery changes and therefore also fell once
1:09:49
during the race So that shows clearly
1:09:51
that it's still not won here for
1:09:54
the humanoid robots So I'm going to
1:09:56
try to show some
1:09:58
excerpts here from the
1:10:00
race And so you see in any case
1:10:02
on the right camera here the
1:10:05
first robots by the way who is
1:10:08
dressed in an imperial uniform and who have
1:10:10
human operators So most of the
1:10:11
robots actually had a
1:10:13
human operator and you can see how
1:10:14
fast it moves So these are Tiong
1:10:17
Ultra so the robots that won
1:10:19
By the way you can see on the left that
1:10:22
it runs relatively fast eh
1:10:24
anyway I don't know by the way if they are the
1:10:26
same but in any case you can
1:10:27
see it running and it runs relatively
1:10:29
fast here But there is always a
1:10:32
human operator and in fact there are
1:10:34
two even one who runs next to it and one who
1:10:36
runs in front who will serve as a reference point here for
1:10:39
the robot
1:10:41
So there is the start a little bit of
1:10:43
the race I will try to accelerate
1:10:45
Here you have other robots here And
1:10:50
so one of the criteria of the robots is
1:10:51
obviously that it is humanoid So that it
1:10:54
runs only on two legs and that it
1:10:57
looks more or less like a human
1:10:59
After there were robots that are
1:11:00
very small You can see this one
1:11:01
on the one on the left he's the size of
1:11:03
maybe a child of
1:11:06
maybe 12 years old, even a little less
1:11:10
Uh while the one on the right
1:11:13
here is the one who won there
1:11:15
he has a size equivalent to an
1:11:19
adult So there you go What more can I
1:11:21
show you Well here's a little
1:11:23
zoom on this one
1:11:28
And so you see there so close-up
1:11:31
so there you have on the left the
1:11:33
human runners with the line reserved for the
1:11:35
runners on the left and then on the
1:11:38
right the track reserved for the
1:11:42
robot And so as I was telling you
1:11:44
you always have the human operator
1:11:46
next to check that everything is working
1:11:47
and the operator in front who will guide the
1:11:51
robot
1:11:53
In fact he will the robot will replicate the
1:11:55
gestures finally of the operator
1:12:04
in front So there you see
1:12:07
that there have been quite a few
1:12:10
maintenance problems and so on And
1:12:13
so each time there has been maintenance
1:12:14
and stops obviously they
1:12:16
are
1:12:17
penalized if only in time on
1:12:20
the
1:12:27
race So there he
1:12:33
left but he still has problems You
1:12:36
see It's still quite a technical challenge,
1:12:48
eh But but you see that they haven't
1:12:51
they haven't finished
1:12:57
what So so there you go
1:13:00
Uh and so suddenly it shows
1:13:02
once again that we haven't uh that we have
1:13:04
n't completely settled huh this notion
1:13:06
of humanoid robotics We also have
1:13:08
Alan Fern, professor of robotics at
1:13:09
Oregon State University, who
1:13:11
also points out that this race
1:13:13
demonstrates above all the
1:13:15
increasing robustness of robotic equipment Until
1:13:17
about 5 years ago we didn't
1:13:19
really know how to operate
1:13:20
robots reliably Now we
1:13:22
know So that already in 5 years it's
1:13:24
still a real a real change
1:13:26
But he nevertheless specifies that running
1:13:27
a half-marathon is not a
1:13:29
particularly useful criterion for evaluating the
1:13:31
practical capabilities in fact of
1:13:34
humanoid robots Uh so that's more on
1:13:36
the solidity uh and the
1:13:39
increasing robustness of these robots Uh what
1:13:43
more can I tell you
1:13:45
In any case the robot that he won
1:13:46
is Tiang Ultra designed by the
1:13:49
Government Research Institute X Humanoid
1:13:52
Uh he did a modest performance anyway
1:13:54
since in fact he did a
1:13:56
performance of 1h uh finally hop uh
1:14:01
he ran in uh
1:14:04
2h40 so the half marathon which is
1:14:06
still very modest since when we
1:14:08
look at the human winner he uh
1:14:11
completed the course in 1 hour and 2
1:14:14
minutes So there we are still on
1:14:16
not three times the time but
1:14:18
still not far so So and an
1:14:22
amateur runner finishes the half marathon in
1:14:24
2h So we see that he does less well
1:14:27
than an
1:14:28
amateur runner So it's still there that
1:14:31
puts things into perspective a little bit on
1:14:34
that And so I was saying there were six
1:14:36
who finished the race but
1:14:39
in the end only four who
1:14:41
crossed the finish line before the
1:14:44
4h limit So you see once
1:14:46
again that we are very very limited here on
1:14:49
the possible performances of these robots
1:14:51
at the moment After that it evolves very
1:14:54
quickly but for the moment we are
1:14:56
still at a certain limit
1:14:59
so that's the little anecdote
1:15:02
of this what happened this weekend with the
1:15:05
famous half marathon of these
1:15:07
humanoid robots that compared themselves to
1:15:10
humans I think it must have been
1:15:11
quite funny for the
1:15:13
human runners to see next to them and
1:15:16
at least it gave them, how to say,
1:15:18
a little distraction during the race
1:15:22
I imagine I know that there are some of
1:15:24
you who do
1:15:26
half marathon races Would it
1:15:27
make you laugh to be able to run
1:15:29
next to a humanoid robot It's
1:15:39
harder to make
1:15:41
running robots than military robots I
1:15:42
think it's not Zac Sobadas in fact
1:15:46
it's not at all the same problem and
1:15:47
it's very complicated to compare because in
1:15:49
fact when you say military robot
1:15:52
in fact it can mean everything and nothing
1:15:55
because in fact you're going to have several
1:15:57
types of robots You could say that
1:15:59
drones are robots too And we
1:16:01
know how to do that now Uh so in
1:16:04
fact it depends what you say in military robot
1:16:09
A big thank you to those who
1:16:11
supported us this morning So a big thanks to
1:16:14
Hippomony 16 to Collection Mix to Damien
1:16:18
Bouche and to RG 065 A big thank you uh to all
1:16:23
four of you for your support this morning
1:16:25
it warms the heart Thank you very much
1:16:38
The P's also don't have the right to
1:16:39
beer to beer cold beer at the end of the
1:16:56
race Go bottom You don't find it
1:16:58
funny at all the idea of being able to run
1:17:00
alongside Uh you even see the confrontation
1:17:02
as questionable I understand I
1:17:08
understand I don't know what is
1:17:10
more humiliating to be overtaken by a
1:17:11
90 year old grandpa or by a
1:17:18
robot Shouldn't we
1:17:20
compare with last year's robots
1:17:21
and next year's robots
1:17:22
to be able to talk about their
1:17:24
progress In any case Nesta what we can
1:17:26
see is that there is
1:17:41
a real evolution compared to 5 years ago There you go After the goal there was not to compare uh the the robots between them what Well it was rather here uh to show a little all the latest advances or in any case the best robots in their category uh in China It's
1:17:44
also a demonstration of strength in China
1:17:47
obviously because he knew that it
1:17:48
would make people talk about them But it was
1:17:50
to show all that It wasn't
1:17:52
necessarily from a statistical point of view
1:17:56
here on the best performances
1:18:02
funny for a kid but a little we don't care
1:18:04
for as an adult
1:18:08
So that's it in any case for the
1:18:12
race which took place in any case this
1:18:14
weekend And so suddenly well as I was
1:18:16
telling you we were talking a little about
1:18:18
things a little scary with its I its
1:18:21
robots and cetera And well there you go uh for
1:18:24
a few uh weeks I think it's been 2
1:18:26
weeks I think it came out there
1:18:28
is the new season of Black Mirror
1:18:31
which has uh arrived uh so on
1:18:34
Netflix uh that you can find
1:18:37
Uh I'm going to show it to you finally
1:18:39
show it to you I'm not going to spoil it for you
1:18:41
Uh
1:18:45
hop there you go
1:18:49
And so you have the famous series that
1:18:52
we know well now which has
1:18:54
launched its 7th season 7th season already
1:18:58
available on Netflix with
1:19:00
how many episodes there are Uh no so there oh
1:19:04
yes if I'm still sure season
1:19:05
7 but yes the last episode is the
1:19:07
continuation of an episode from another season
1:19:10
There are 1 2 3 4 5 6 episodes uh
1:19:14
available And so normally it's
1:19:16
an anthology series that is to say that
1:19:18
each episode can be watched
1:19:21
independently of the others But they
1:19:23
did on this last season they
1:19:24
made an exception to the rule since you
1:19:27
can see that the last episode USS
1:19:30
Calister in fact it's the continuation of an
1:19:32
episode from season I think
1:19:37
6 maybe not
1:19:46
Ah so
1:19:48
it would be season
1:19:51
4 potentially since there I see
1:19:53
the USS Calister in season 4 uh and so
1:19:56
there we see USS Calister at the heart
1:19:58
of Infinity so
1:19:59
potentially it's the continuation we'll
1:20:01
tell you in any case we with Jérôme we
1:20:04
saw uh the first three We
1:20:09
saw the first three so we saw
1:20:11
ordinary people that I found
1:20:13
really good I found that the first
1:20:15
episode really reconnected with uh with
1:20:18
uh yeah really what what Black
1:20:21
Mirror did really well We can
1:20:24
completely project yourself into
1:20:26
the story Uh Bête
1:20:29
Noire I found it less
1:20:32
interesting Uh Hôtel
1:20:35
Rie less interesting too I was
1:20:37
less excited about the episode 2 and
1:20:41
3 Uh so
1:20:43
there you go You Garugari you said it
1:20:46
starts well you also saw the
1:20:48
first three episodes you seem to have
1:20:49
liked it
1:20:53
There you go Uh Surnud tells us uh well this
1:20:56
season uh except season 5 quite
1:21:01
boring Uh finally episode 5 sorry
1:21:04
Episode 5
1:21:05
it's a solitary man initiated a
1:21:08
revolutionary system allowing
1:21:09
users to enter
1:21:12
old photos and thus feel
1:21:13
very strong
1:21:15
emotions OK OK OK We haven't
1:21:20
seen it yet Yeah I find that episode 1 is
1:21:25
both dramatic scary and at the same
1:21:28
time not so far away In any case we
1:21:29
project ourselves well That I find
1:21:31
interesting
1:21:32
But not Titus it doesn't matter if you have
1:21:34
n't finished season 6 you can also just
1:21:37
as it's an anthology there is there is
1:21:39
no problem with that so
1:21:45
therefore there you go In any case, I
1:21:49
was pretty excited by the first one
1:21:51
Uh I really liked Hotel Reverie because
1:21:54
I like old movies uh and
1:21:57
I think
1:21:58
the actress who plays the part in the
1:22:01
old movie was great She
1:22:03
really had the
1:22:05
tics of the time and everything So I
1:22:07
found that really cool I didn't
1:22:09
find the story ultra moving to
1:22:13
be honest Uh
1:22:16
but there you go
1:22:22
Is it Yes episode 1 close to
1:22:24
us Yeah yeah
1:22:31
absolutely Naes tells us "In truth what
1:22:34
I don't really like about this season is
1:22:35
that the endings are a little too optimistic
1:22:36
about the message when there isn't
1:22:38
much to be in the episode."
1:22:40
Ah
1:22:41
yeah
1:22:43
Uh that's true for number 3 Yeah
1:22:47
Uh I'm trying to remember
1:22:49
uh Ah yes number 2 Yes the end number of
1:22:53
episode number 2 I found that
1:22:57
uh but I found episode number 2
1:22:59
a little easy I found it
1:23:03
easy Uh I found it easy in mode we
1:23:06
are capable of doing that and in fact there
1:23:09
are lots of problems that do
1:23:10
n't work Well there are lots of
1:23:12
things that wouldn't work that are
1:23:14
n't explained and everything Well there for the
1:23:15
time being it's too far from us to be
1:23:18
credible I found Uh or even
1:23:20
scary or even it's not even more
1:23:23
anticipation There I found uh what
1:23:25
it is what I like is when there is
1:23:27
really anticipation We can
1:23:29
see the pitfalls uh in relation to that
1:23:33
So
1:23:34
uh uh so there you go
1:23:41
Ah you Garogari you said that you
1:23:43
really liked the 2 and in fact the subject is
1:23:45
very current You you found that the
1:23:47
subject was very current Well like what
1:23:51
Yes Surnut Well that's a bit of the
1:23:54
Black Mir thing I agree with you
1:23:55
It's quite uneven There are episodes that are
1:23:56
great that are
1:23:59
real little masterpieces and then
1:24:00
there are others that are really meh
1:24:02
Besides you make me want to
1:24:04
watch again some that I loved Uh
1:24:07
but well here is the series so proposed by
1:24:10
Charlie Brooker which is still in
1:24:11
its 7th season So there are seasons
1:24:13
that have like three episodes eh Like
1:24:16
when I
1:24:17
watch it was season 5 there
1:24:20
were only three for
1:24:22
example but
1:24:24
uh but there are a lot of
1:24:27
great actors besides in this
1:24:33
series Uh lots of great actors
1:24:37
So just for that too it's worth it
1:24:42
what So there you go Well I'll
