i
learned
something
about
myself
this
week
and
tell
me
if
you
think
this
applies
to
you
as
well
when
it
comes
to
my
technology
i
like
devices
that
change
state
a
wearable
camera
whose
remote
turns
into
a
tripod
a
drone
that
collapses
to
be
carried
a
phone
that
converts
into
a
tablet
or
a
pocket
square
to
me
tech
is
at
its
most
exciting
when
it
can
physically
change
based
on
my
needs
at
the
time
microsoft
is
no
stranger
to
that
approach
having
kicked
out
three
generations
of
its
surface
book
over
the
past
half
decade
or
so
and
i've
just
spent
a
week
with
the
convertible
that
replaces
it
this
is
the
surface
laptop
studio
a
windows
11
pc
that
can
transform
into
your
digital
drafting
table
or
a
top-notch
youtube
tablet
but
which
i
mostly
use
as
a
pretty
powerful
pretty
pricey
conventional
laptop
first
thing
to
understand
about
this
machine
is
no
it's
not
as
bulky
as
you
think
it
is
the
extended
hardware
bay
below
the
main
chassis
looks
ungainly
on
video
but
you
don't
notice
it
while
using
the
laptop
and
even
while
closed
i
had
no
more
trouble
making
this
fit
into
my
peak
design
backpack
than
i
do
my
16
inch
macbook
pro
speaking
of
the
macbook
lots
of
people
on
twitter
seem
to
think
this
looks
like
one
and
i
guess
i
see
the
point
but
just
speaking
for
myself
i
prefer
the
surface
the
platinum
finish
on
the
magnesium
and
aluminum
casing
combines
with
the
floating
slab
nature
of
the
base
and
the
subtly
scored
seam
that
hints
at
its
transformative
nature
to
make
this
a
much
more
intriguing
laptop
i
love
the
display's
rounded
corners
i
find
great
relief
in
the
trackpad's
sensible
size
and
pretty
much
perfect
haptics
and
the
keyboard
is
the
most
comfortable
i've
ever
used
yes
even
counting
the
google
pixel
book
go
and
thankfully
it
also
passes
the
one-handed
opening
test
while
i'm
going
to
get
a
little
deeper
into
the
optional
surface
slim
pen
2
in
my
upcoming
surface
duo
2
review
stay
tuned
it's
worth
a
quick
mention
here
because
of
how
well
it
integrates
with
the
rest
of
the
machine
when
you're
finished
with
it
you
just
slide
it
under
the
lip
of
the
laptop
until
the
magnets
catch
it
which
they
do
with
a
solid
clack
of
course
there
are
a
few
hardware
compromises
while
the
surface
laptop
speakers
are
very
good
approaching
my
macbook
pro
and
getting
even
closer
in
the
tent
posture
thanks
to
the
virtual
subwoofer
effect
it
doesn't
quite
reach
the
volume
or
spaciousness
of
the
apple
product
there's
no
skip
or
previous
buttons
on
the
keyboard
either
which
is
probably
a
big
deal
only
to
me
a
bigger
ono
is
in
io
though
microsoft
has
finally
ditched
not
just
the
sd
card
reader
but
also
a
type
a
usb
port
leaving
only
the
surface
connector
and
two
thunderbolt
ports
to
keep
that
three
and
a half
millimeter
headphone
jack
company
on
the
bright
side
if
you
forget
your
surface
charger
you
can
still
top
up
the
battery
via
either
of
those
type-c
ports
i'll
be
at
a
somewhat
slower
rate
now
in
terms
of
hardware
you
can
see
that
leaves
us
with
pretty
much
just
the
webcam
left
to
talk
about
here
which
tops
out
at
1080p
and
is
generally
you
know
fine
if
you
can
live
with
a
slightly
warmer
than
usual
flesh
tone
at
least
on
skin
like
mine
oh
that's
well
and
good
but
what
about
the
thing
that
makes
this
a
studio
we'll
convert
to
that
right
after
this
are
you
completely
sick
of
hearing
how
life
since
2020
has
been
a
brutal
crucible
that
challenged
all
of
us
yeah
me
too
but
here's
the
thing
it's
true
and
being
sick
of
something
doesn't
really
help
you
process
it
well

thanks
to
betterhelp
for

this
video
it's
an
absolutely
bizarre
feeling
to
transition
this
machine
from
laptop
to
studio
the
first
time
you
do
it
the
magnets
that
anchor
the
screen
are
strong
so
you
almost
feel
like
you're
breaking
it
and
at
the
same
time
the
so-called
dynamic
woven
hinge
doesn't
offer
much
resistance
actually
i
find
it
strange
that
microsoft
chose
the
name
dynamic
to
describe
that
hinge
because
it's
not
it's
fabric
so
it
can't
actually
hold
the
display
in
place
by
itself
instead
those
magnets
do
the
job
locking
the
machine
into
laptop
tent
or
easel
postures
everything
in
between
is
floppy
town
usa
it's
a
shame
because
you
know
sometimes
i'd
like
to
tilt
my
display
without
changing
the
position
of
my
keyboard
but
a
more
complex
hinge
would
have
added
thickness
or
weight
as
we've
seen
on
similar
pcs
with
this
design
so
as
usual
everything's
a
trade-off
i'll
be
straight
with
you
i
have
found
over
the
past
week
almost
zero
reason
ever
to
use
this
thing
in
tablet
mode
the
one
time
i
did
i
was
walking
down
the
street
and
needed
to
create
a
new
google
calendar
in
a
hurry
which
google
makes
you
do
on
the
desktop
so
it
was
handy
for
that
but
at
four
pounds
it's
the
bulkiest
heaviest
tablet
you
can
imagine
it's
not
designed
for
that
it's
designed
for
applications
like
i
saw
david
cogan
demonstrating
in
the
office
one
day
using
it
like
an
easel
to
crop
and
trim
graphics
in
photoshop
i'll
link
to
his
real
world
test
below
or
for
actual
artists
like
this
guy
who
did
a
whole
video
review
of
the
drawing
experience
a
hat
tip
to
dan
seifert
for
turning
me
onto
that
video
which
i
will
also
link
below
one
aspect
that's
unfortunate
the
14.4
inch
display
is
not
quite
bright
enough
to
use
outdoors
it's
too
reflective
as
well
and
it's
also
polarized
in
such
a
way
that
using
it
while
wearing
sunglasses
is
impossible
indoors
it's
well
suited
for
the
job
though
with
its
120
hertz
refresh
rate
and
spacious
three
to
two
aspect
ratio
and
the
surface
slim
pen
two
i
covered
earlier
has
built-in
haptics
for
supported
applications
to
give
writing
a
little
more
tactility
if
my
workflow
is
pen-based
this
is
absolutely
the
machine
i'd
go
for
but
since
it's
not
i
generally
find
myself
using
this
as
more
of
a
surface
laptop
pro
if
that
makes
sense
and
that's
where
it
kind
of
breaks
down
for
me
a
little
bit
i'm
grateful
the
option
exists
to
buy
this
thing
with
a
discrete
gpu
but
it's
a
mid-range
one
and
the
h-series
intel
cpus
available
are
middle
of
the
pack
as
well
i
could
play
star
wars
squadrons
just
fine
but
at
maximum
settings
the
frame
rate
got
low
enough
for
me
to
notice
which
hasn't
happened
on
any
other
machine
now
this
isn't
a
gaming
laptop
but
for
the
prices
we're
talking
i
still
found
that
disappointing
ditto
the
choice
to
ship
the
machine
with
102
watt
power
brick
instead
of
the
bigger
one
that
came
with
the
surface
book
3
which
as
dan
rubino
points
out
in
his
review
can
mean
that
if
you're
pushing
the
machine
real
hard
you'll
gradually
lose
power
even
if
you're
plugged
in
as
for
the
day-to-day
this
is
my
first
machine
with
a
non-beta
version
of
windows
11
home
and
i
really
like
the
direction
microsoft
is
going
here
it
wakes
up
quickly
and
runs
very
smoothly
but
more
than
that
its
design
is
fluid
as
well
the
rougher
edges
of
windows
10
have
been
replaced
with
pleasant
translucent
textures
that
to
me
suggest
a
modernized
attempt
at
the
old
aero
design
language
from
the
vista
days
i'm
not
wild
about
the
new
start
menu
kind
of
feels
like
a
ui
from
an
amazon
fire
tablet
or
something
and
the
settings
menu
definitely
still
needs
work
to
be
honest
i've
never
experienced
a
build
of
windows
that
felt
as
cohesive
and
complete
as
windows
xp
service
pack
2.
but
i'm
going
to
stop
myself
before
i
get
any
further
down
that
particular
old
guy
rabbit
hole
finally
battery
life
it's
on
the
low
side
of
fine
flirting
with
mediocre
two
weeks
of
testing
got
me
an
average
of
five
and
a
half
hours
away
from
the
wall
with
my
usual
office
type
workload
not
great
not
terrible
and
also
not
a
surprise
this
is
a
core
i7
with
a
discrete
gpu
not
an
arm-powered
ac
pc
after
all
if
that
sounds
like
a
weird
combination
of
compromise
and
capability
for
a
price
of
between
1600
and
3100
dollars
well
it
should
also
sound
quite
familiar
because
that
weirdness
is
where
a
lot
of
surface
products
have
always
lived
pragmatic
buyers
should
look
elsewhere
for
maximum
value
such
as
microsoft's
own
surface
pro
8.
the
surface
laptop
studio
seems
more
about
blending
niche
features
with
standout
design
to
produce
something
that
designers
and
engineers
will
love
to
use
instead
of
just
put
up
with
something
that
gives
microsoft
a little
more
cachet
and
cool
factor
and
gives
its
manufacturing
partners
something
to
build
upon
if
niche
weirdness
is
your
kind
of
tech
folks
stay
tuned
for
my
surface
duo
2
review
coming
up
soon
and
for
a
much
deeper
dive
on
the
surface
laptop
studio
check
out

buddy
daniel
rubino's
coverage
over
at
windows
central
this
review
was
produced
following
about
eight
days
with
a

button and then enable notifications with the bill icon so you won't miss any upcoming videos ok so the first thing we want to talk about our catalyst apps and these are applications previously iPad apps that have been migrated over to Mac OS now the theory behind this whole thing is that iPad developers will be able to check a single box in Xcode and then magically that application will be ready to go in Mac OS in reality it doesn't work that easily but there is a nice handful of applications that are already available and there will no doubt be many more coming down the pipeline so I think this is a good thing to sort of reinvigorate or add some some new life to the Mac obviously iOS and to a lesser extent iPad OS has you know garnered the most attention as far as Apple is concerned so this is in theory a good way to reinvigorate the Mac and get developers excited about bringing their applications that they've worked so hard on on the iPad to the Mac now the the jury is still out as to whether or not this will actually prove to be successful whether developers will really jump on board and support this thing gung-ho I've tried several catalyst apps in I have mixed feelings about many of them but some of them are really good they show a lot of promise one such app is of course carrot weather which is beautifully designed reminds me a lot of the iPad experience it translates very well to the Mac I think most of you guys will agree to that other apps that I've tried are sort of a mixed bag at this point but again it's very very early in the game and I think we have to wait and see whether or not this will actually translate into something special what do you guys think what is your experience been like with catalyst apps thus far I'm interested to hear your experience your thoughts on iPad apps running on the Mac the other really big feature this year is of course sidecar and that is the ability to use an iPad as an external display like this twelve point nine inch iPad pro next to my 13-inch MacBook Pro so all you do is go to the airplay settings in the menu bar select your iPad and it will automatically connect to your iPad wirelessly it works wired as well but wirelessly and function as an external display for your Mac you can tell how incredibly useful this would be for a macbook pro owner like this in this situation here so you're traveling maybe you're editing videos and Final Cut and you need an external display but obviously you're traveling you don't have one well this solves that problem sidecar is the answer to your issues here folks so you can see it works just like any normal external display and I just have to say that it is impressive and Final Cut was recently updated with sidecar support so that allows me to have my timeline in my browser on my macbook with my viewer on the external iPad pro which is great so that gives me plenty of real estate plenty of room to work with editing that video it is amazing and the cool thing is that sidecar is just another app running on your iPad so you can switch between applications you can even open up a slide over app like that and multitask so you have the Safari Browser here on top and you're still able to interact with it it's just kind of mind-blowing honestly if you're a traveler this is a game changer for sure everyone who owns a MacBook Pro will probably own an iPad pro if they're trying to get work done on the go but the awesomeness with an iPad companion doesn't out there there's also continuity markup in sketch so if I right-click on the desktop I can insert from iPad add a sketch the mark-up UI will automatically appear on your iPad and then you can use your Apple pencil to draw with and by the way you can also use your Apple pencil to draw within applications on your Mac using sidecar didn't show you that I'll show you that in a more in-depth video with sidecar but that too is awesome so if you're like drawing with affinity photo you can really get the details with your Apple pencil back to your Mac from your iPad so here it is annotating so this is the the continuity markup portion so I am annotating right here in real-time look at that this PDF just like that now there are several security and privacy enhancements to be found in Mac OS Catalina so if you go into the privacy tab under the security and privacy preferences you'll see things like screen reporting so you can set permissions for that so if you try to record your screen with ScreenFlow it's going to ask for permission first there's also input monitoring there's also files and folders speech recognition Apple has really locked down Mac OS so that these applications that formerly just had unadulterated access to all these different functions now have to request access which is a good thing for the user now this is really cool probably one of my favorite features you can authenticate from your Apple watch just like that that is so nice now there's also activation lock which allows you to lock down your Mac so if it's lost or stolen a person will need to enter your credentials in order to activate it of course apple arcade is new to Mac OS Catalina you also have Xbox controller support ps4 controller support this was already supported in the previous version of Mac OS but here you actually get a little glyph of the Xbox controller so that's kind of nice but the real focus obviously is apple arcade itself which is Apple's new subscription service five bucks a month you get access to lots and lots of games I don't think all the games that you find on iOS are here on the Mac but there is still a lot of games to choose from a lot of quality games such a sneaky sasquatch one of my favs and there are many many other titles to choose from guarantee there's gonna be something for you even if you're not a gamer I'm pretty sure out of all these games you'll find at least something that you like like hexa flip that I just showed you or what the golf which is I don't know this may have surpassed sneaky Sasquatch as my favourite new apple arcade title this is just such a crazy game it really puts a different spin on the idea of what it means to play golf and it's just nuts so that's that's the best way I can describe it it really does bring a smile to my face just looking at the the graphics and the sound effects and the music it is something else you definitely should check out what the golf it is absolutely amazing it must try in like I mentioned in sneaky sasquatch something I promoted numerous times in pretty much every video that I've talked about Apple arcade I've mentioned sneaky Sasquatch and for a good reason it is a gem among many great apple or arcade titles nihlus Hulk iTunes actually No now let's talk the music app podcast app and TV app because iTunes is no more in Mac OS Catalina finally write the music app is centered around Apple music that is sort of its focal point but that doesn't mean you can't access your iTunes music or your iCloud music library you can still do that but it is centered around Apple music that is its main focus so you get the same Apple music experience that you're used to on your iPhone or your iPad so you have the curated for you section you have the Browse section and then you have the radio which has like things like beats one and even broadcast radio stations around your local area then of course you can search so I'm going to search here for you tada I can search my library or I can search the entire Apple music catalog which pulls in all the album's singles playlists music videos it is really really nice so let me show you the library though because this is where you go to find the media that you yourself have added to your library it could be over a course of many many years because this pulls in your iCloud music library is well so you're gonna find your artists your albums recently added stuff and this could be stuff from Apple music or like I mentioned it could be things that you add yourself from iCloud music library or purchases from iTunes etc so here you can see I just drag and drop set a where it dragged can I say that dragged didn't dry want to see drug and drop dragged and dropped that mp3 over to my library I can go and get info and I can actually edit details about the song and even update the artwork if I wanted to do so the really interesting thing though is you can add to library so if I click here you'll see where it says updating cloud music library so it's actually adding that to your library so you can access that song that didn't originate from Apple music didn't originate from iTunes right there in your library across all your devices even your TV OS Apple TV so that's the really cool thing about Apple music if you're an Apple music subscriber you get access to that you know the music app also gives you access to your lyrics it also gives you access to up next and music listening history which is a new feature that recently came about on iOS 13.2 and also here with Mac OS Catalina and you can airplay your music to all your eligible airplay to sources like a home pod or your Apple TV for instance now you haven't seen iTunes Store anywhere just yet but if you go into preferences you can actually show the iTunes Store if you still want to purchase music the old-school way it's kind of weird to say iTunes is old-school but it is in the in the era of streaming definitely buying music individual tracks or albums is old-school but you can still do it if you want to via the music app now let's talk about podcast the second pillar of iTunes so to speak here you'll find a similar interface to the music app you'll see on the left side the listening section which allows you to just view all the stuff you subscribe to there's also browse he can find new content new podcasts to download and there's top charts which will rank the top podcasts then you have your library which contains all of your different podcasts you have shows which shows you each in a visual show that you subscribe to you then you have episodes and then you have your individual podcasts that you subscribe to you and you can hit the info button to view your show notes you can access all the Handy links inside those show notes there's also the TV app and this again is that last pillar so to speak for iTunes and you can see the really nice large artwork for each up next item there if you scroll down under watch now you'll find all the other recommendations and things of that nature and then you have your movies tab which will show you movies from the what was formerly the iTunes Store and also show you movies from other sources which Apple is calling Apple TV channels which is sources that allow you to subscribe seamlessly within the TV app that's not something that's technically new however it is very well integrated in this new TV app here so if you go to TV shows you can see your CBS all access that is one example of the channels so if you're subscribed to all access you get access to any TV show that falls under that umbrella within the TV app it's a very very nice thing however it can get pricey once you start subscribing to all these different services so you see there you can buy or rent from what was formerly the iTunes Store or you can stream it from epics if you're an epic subscriber now there's also a kid's section so you'll see things like Sesame Street various animated movies and things like that there's the library which contains all the content that you quote/unquote own so things you purchased from iTunes etc now the Photos app there's something that really whacked poetic about only iPad and on the iPhone because it was such an improvement over the previous Photos app and it is very much improved here on the Mac although not to the same degree as what we found on iOS particularly with video editing now with photo editing you do have a very robust interface in fact it's deeper than what you'll find in some respects on the iOS version of the Photos app you get a lot more fine-grain granular control here on the Matt version when it comes to editing photos under adjustments but put things like filters you can't change the intensity of a filter like you can on iOS in the cropping functionality you don't get all the features that you get on iOS which is kind of surprising to be honest but what's really interesting and sort of disappointing is that you don't get the editing functionality for videos like you do on iOS at least it didn't appear for me what do you guys have seen on your version of photos all I'm seeing is the ability to trim like we've always been able to do but you don't get that advanced editing functionality maybe Apple's thinking hey they have Final Cut Pro on the Mac you have iMovie on the Mac you don't need to be able to edit video on the Photos app you know I tend to agree the Notes app gains several new enhancements from iOS 13 that includes the new gallery view so you get a quick high-level overview of all your notes and there's the new ability to drag and drop list items to rearrange your list like that and then there's automatic sorting so when you click on an item to complete it in your list it will automatically go to the bottom of the list and then finally there's the ability to share an entire folder containing all the notes within with your friends family or whoever else you want to share it with now the reminders app get a completely new redesign in iOS in the same things true here in Mac OS Catalina for starters the smart list feature will automatically organize individual list items by today by scheduled or by flagged and that's super handy for just getting a quick high-level overview of what's going on and then below that you have all your lists so you can go in to an individual list add an additional item you can rename a list make changes to a list and another new feature is the ability to add sub items to an item within a list so you simply drag and drop like that and then you can click the disclosure triangle to collapse those list items great for organization adding the new list is also different here in Mac OS Catalina so now obviously you can name the list but you can give it a color and you get all these different glyph items to choose from so I'm going to choose blogging I'm gonna add a list item here and you're gonna notice these quick actions here when you add a list item so I'm gonna say right about standing desk and we're gonna make that dude just click where it says add date notice you get these suggestions that allow you to quickly add useful information to each individual item in a list but you can also group together multiple lists just drag and drop one list on top of another list give it a group name and there you go close the disclosure triangle and get organized in Safari you'll find a new start page with series suggestions built in so this is actually a link someone sent me via the messages app and it appears right here on my start page so cool screen time makes its debut on Mac OS of course this is an iOS feature iPad OS featured now it is here on Mac OS and that allows you to monitor your usage app usage notifications you can establish downtime app limits and more then you find my app is a combination of find my friends and find my devices combined into one and the really cool thing is that there's new offline finding capability which uses clever crowd-sourced Bluetooth frequencies to help you find your lost devices voice control is not to be confused with voice over because voice control allows you to control your Mac using your voice in a very easy straightforward way so once you enable voice control via accessibility preferences it's going to download and install the voice control module and then you can click commands to see a whole list of voice control commands that you can use so I'm going to show you an example here a voice control in action so it uses my MacBook Pros microphone I'm going to speak to it and it's going to follow my lead so I say open Safari and it opens Safari like that and I could say show numbers and then you say the number you want it to click on so 30 so that's gonna open 9 to 5 Mac and then I'll say hey show numbers and then I'll say 62 and then it's going to click on top i phone 11 Pro features and then I'll say scroll down and then I'll say scroll down again and I'll say you scroll down again then I'll say scroll up and it Scrolls up this is really cool all right so finally we have Catalina dynamic wallpaper I just wanted to give a shout out to this beautiful Catalina Island wallpaper it is a dynamic desktop so that means it will change between night and day as time goes on in your local area but if you don't want to fool with a dynamic desktop you can just choose night or day but I think that looks beautiful what do you guys think so ladies and gentlemen that has been a look at the top Mac OS Catalina features what do you guys think let me know down below in the comment section with their thoughts and opinions also

[Laughter]
left
oh
if
the
goals
would
like
blink
in
like
20
seconds
to
be
amazing

I
could
do
that
good
I
just
don't
really

30-second
timer
I'll
just
like
flash
like
lights
on
the
outside
like
Christmas
I
think
everyone
needs
the
experience
that
at

you
should
have
yeah
this
one
just
go
pure
blackouts
yeah
this
will
be

watching
homies
see
super
fun
that
was
as
crazy
as
that
was
it
was
sorry
it
was


is my right [Music] [Music] [Music] I get on a horse look at this too [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] open it up industry monopolist


[Music] before we begin today's episode I wanted to let everyone know that banks Canada com is having its big annual holidays promo the 20-20-20 sale that's 20% off all hybrid series and farms and gear packs from now until January 2020 plus a free copy of our newly updated ultimate and keeping handbook right now at ncaa.com click the link in the description to get your ACN farm today and now enjoy today's ant episode speaking of trees and being vigilant making sure everything was in order I noticed the canopy of varta our treetop forest home to our aggressive Weaver ant colony the Emerald Empire was in need of some serious maintenance first the piping of the ring system had unstuck from the glass also the trees had seriously overgrown and they needed to be cut back big-time but there's just one problem the only way in was to open these front glass doors and well it seems the Weaver ants had decided to fuse its main leaf mist to the glass oh boy this whole maintenance operation was going to be interesting my god welcome to the easy enjoy last week we had a fun-filled journey exploring various kingdoms in our AC anti verse we visited PAC mania this Moss adorned home of our Suriname Horned Frog also we prepped the moat surrounding Skull Island home to our ghost aunts and of course our biggest accomplishment last week we crafted the greatest vivarium we've ever created in the AC aunt averse a multi-species bio active domain for the dark nights these exciting journeys of discovery and adventure around the N room certainly don't end there this week holds yet again another exhilarating episode as we continue to dig deep climb up and experience firsthand the marvelous territories of our beloved and colonies are AC family without further ado let's begin this week's exploration [Music] standing tall in our collection of ants and other animals here in the AC an Traverse is the canopy of four tesha home to the extravagant emerald Empire this savage colony of lover ants scientifically known as eco Phyllis Medina has shown us their brilliance through the building of their cool leaf basket nests in the trees their collection of protein sources and even through their apparent understanding of sustainability and growth management of the four touching trees on which they live it seems that we have seen practically everything these mighty and hardworking arboreal ants can do but this time I wanted to push the boundaries of what is possible for the Emerald empires housing and it involves sticking my arm and even my face into their highly guarded territories yup it's totally crazy but hey someone's got to do it but don't worry I have a plan so stay tuned for that but before we get started for those of you who are new to the channel let's catch you up to speed in celebration for reaching three million subscribers I decided to try keeping these highly popular ants in the N world Asian Weaver ants native to Southeast Asia these Weaver ants are known for their arboreal life as they build their nests atop trees to create their homes they use silk produced by their larvae effectively gluing tree leaves together the transpiration from the leaves helps naturally humidify the insides of their leaf nests and as the leaves wilt the ants go on to create new leaf nests on the same tree they seem to know when to start new nests which they do well in advance before their current nests wilt and appear to somehow have a feeling for how much they're able to build sustainably so that their host plant doesn't die out there surely one of the most captivating ant colonies I've ever kept three months after the creation of the canopy of our tisha this is what the territory looks like now look the trees had overgrown seems they had been working on plans for this money tree to grow much taller and their plant management initiatives have been working this money tree has grown leaves that extend up to the top mesh but here's the very concerning problem with that if I leave this tree unchecked I know for certain that its force would eventually push through the mesh destroying the terrarium and setting the ants free hey wait a second could this be the Emerald Empire's master plan of escape okay not gonna even go there also there were other tuning and maintenance issues that needed to be dealt with like dislodged piping from the rain system glass cleaning a hanging dead leaf nest which drove my OC mind insane and this stray plastic cup that fell from their feeding plate which I've been dying for months to pick up and dispose given these major and minor concerns it was no doubt in my mind that maintenance was needed but due to the way their enclosure was designed the only way I could get in was by opening these two front glass panels so going into VAR tisha wasn't something I could do every day for Tesh a maintenance definitely was something I intended on doing as infrequently as possible and only when necessarily needed now I see family check out what else I was thinking regarding all this so the Dark Knight's new bioactive planted vivarium home we made last week full of creatures like millipedes bagworms jumping spider etc living with the ant colony made for a very self-sustaining ecosystem ik environment so I figured then if for tisha was also made much more bioactive theoretically it would mean that I'd have to open the terrarium less often and perhaps even improve the quality of the emerald Empire's life by making their home much more natural much more bioactive and so AC family after careful thought it was then that I decided while doing maintenance on Vorta it was also time for us to upgrade the territories a notch and transform for tisha into a multi species bioactive material but before I tell you how I'm going to do that and what creatures I plan on adding to Vorta there was a neighboring and kingdom that was also in need of some maintenance to the west of our tesha sits the mystical double floating islands of a Vista home to our big-headed aunts the bobbleheads you the AC family named them after the big heads of the super major workers take a look at how some of these super majors sport rather comically enlarged heads compared to the ordinary workers the big heads specialize in cutting things up by the way the great job force of the colony of the entire AC an Traverse the home of the bobbleheads stands out because it is our only truly open concept glassless aunt set up as you may see here the potted bonsai plants are rooted down into the soils which extend into these two jars which hold the island up meanwhile these jars are placed in the middle of a glass enclosure whose short walls are covered in baby powder thereby keeping the ants within the premises from afar the home of the bobbleheads look like floating mini Gardens a second island is situated there in the back but we'll visit that Island in a sec at the center of the main island grows a bonsai red banyan tree that we call the Great Tree of Life the tree gets its name because it provides life to the bobbleheads in a few interesting ways first the tree offers the bubblehead shelter as they nest beneath the Sala tree protected among its roots it also houses herds of mealybugs which the ants farm and milk for their sweet honey to excretions finally the tree also eats up there ant poop a great fertilizer in fact this partnership between and and tree has been going so well that the tree has grown profusely and I've had to continually trim the tree back almost once a week in fact I'm about to do it now here we go I started with the outer leaves now watch this guys every time I snip or fiddle around with their sacred Tree of Life the bubble heads get super mad the ants never back down from defending their precious tree this has become a weekly ritual now and oh boy here they come the bubble heads came rushing out of their nest with a sole mission to bite an attack my giant hands from the skies sorry bubble heads but this process is essential for the maintenance of your sacred Tree of Life hang tight okay I'm done sheesh no need to get feisty now trimming the tree was not all that needed to be done first the second islands tree had actually died this once luscious bonsai tree of a different species was now withered and dead I suppose the species of tree did not fare well in the semi shaded conditions of my window so it died however I couldn't just get rid of the island because ants were still nesting within its soils as well I needed to plant a new tree there to replace the dead tree because it does seem trees happen to be the bobblehead secret to success I mean look at how big the colony has grown over time you can truly appreciate the sheer size of the colony every time I water the islands they always come rushing out with their brood and I even get a glimpse of the Royal Queens surfacing at times it was clear that this super colony was now bigger than ever and so a sea family aside from restoring their second island by planting a replacement tree I felt it was finally time to also give the bobbleheads a third floating island back to vortex I knew making the territories more bioactive meant introducing more organisms to Vorta and so here was my plan first I knew I needed to increase the ground cover vegetation so I felt this gorgeous looking hardly philodendron scientifically called philodendron Court Adam one of the hardiest terrarium plants I know was perfect next I wanted to add some awesome leaf litter scooped up from my neighborhood it contained tons of springtails isopods millipedes and beneficial mites that would help break down organic waste to help fertilize the plants in Vortech and hey look what else I found this leaf litter also contained a miniature species a forest roach how cool right speaking of which check out the next creatures I wanted to add dubia roaches scientifically known as BLAP tikka Dubya these roaches as you may or may not know are my feeder roaches meaning I pre crush them and feed them to various animals of my ant room but after thinking about it for a bit I figured these roaches would be an awesome addition to Vorta they can eat decaying leaves that fall to the floor plus possibly the dead leaf nests from the trees if you wish to know more about these underrated and seldom recognized dubia roaches here's a video I made about them and their home plus I have been noticing that every now and then the Emerald Empire has been catching darkling beetles in Vorta the mealworms and super worms that we feed to our various colonies in the ant room are actually larvae of darkling beetles I guess sometimes the super worms survive my pre crushing somehow and managed to escape the deadly mandibles of their and predators seeking out safe locations within the terrariums to proceed with the process of pew patien and development into these shiny black darkling beetles and it seems the Emerald Empire has managed to successfully hunt these survivors and level I've actually seen this happen with the fire nation and dark nights as well given these past experiences I figured why not try to allow insect prey to populate the floors of our tesha reproduce on their own while eating up decaying matter like they would in the wild but also provide the Weaver ants with a supply of prey items now wait I know what you guys are thinking ah ants Canada has changed his ways he's now condoning live feeding let's cancel him hold on I still make it a personal rule to never feed live prey to animals like ants that don't need to eat live prey because it's a slow and painful death for the prey item but in this case the prey animals would have a great chance at escaping and avoiding the ants by burrowing into the leaf litter or into the ground and can otherwise feed breed and live normally as they would in the wild it theoretically would be an equal playing field for prey and predator in my mind anyway so the cruelty factor isn't technically even an issue both for the dubia roaches and darkling beetles living with the Emerald Empire in Vorta the ants could simply wander around the forest floor below their leaf nests to hunt for prey which the ants do in the wild I am sure that the coexistence of four teshon prey and predators would make for a very interesting bio world [Music] so first I needed to remove this dead tree on the second island in order to replace it with the new tree for the bobbleheads I removed the entire island from the island Network taking the island off its foundation base you can see that the jar is filled with soil in which the bobbleheads were still nesting I knew that removing the tree from the pot had to be done with the utmost care because surely they were still ants nesting in the soils I was already expecting a ton of bobbleheads to come rushing out once they felt me touching their dead tree so here goes nothing I carefully removed the rock from the island then proceeded to cut the tree off at the roots then attempted to firmly but carefully pull the dead tree from the pump pop the tree broke right off and I've made a bit of a mess but thankfully no ants came boiling out perhaps they didn't care about the tree much since it had already died good now in its place I wanted to plant this baby schefflera plant which also happens to be the same species as one of the trees used in Vortech I feel this would be a better adapted plant to the conditions next to my window seeing as it's done so well in Vorta i planted the schefflera plant in okay so this was the craziest thing I've ever done in my life I know you've heard me say this before but no this is as you may or may not know although these Weaver ants don't have stingers like the Fire Nation they still possess some powerful mandibles and a bite from these ladies combined with a painful formic acid spray is enough to make any trespasser scream Plus what made this operation extra scary was that the Emerald Empire had decided to fuse their main leaf nest to the door of the terrarium could this get any more scarier I worry that as soon as I open this glass door it would rattle the nest setting the Weaver ants into an angry frenzy I needed to prepare myself and make sure I had a plan of attack I needed to know what things I had to grab cut pull out and add before I went into the territories there was no time to think as soon as those glass doors were open I ran through the motions and checklist of tasks in my mind many times as I knew it was imperative to get things right the first time so the tank would be open for the shortest amount of time possible it wasn't a matter of if the Weaver ants would be attacking and escaping it was a matter of how many so I see family here was my plan are you ready so apparently there's a superstition or tradition among mango farmers who have to deal with these ants when harvesting mangoes legend has it that if you whisper to the ants telling them that you're a friend and aren't going to harm them the ants will leave you alone and allow you to pick the fruit without launching an attack if the legends were true this told me then that it was possible to work around these ants as long as I was gentle and not just obtrusively moving in shaking things around like a predator boy did I hope I was right and the legends true I put on my gloves and covered my hands and arms with baby powder there were ants that were already showing signs of wanting to tear my skin up at the earliest opportunity why so aggressive ladies you can even see them here congregating at the door opening ready to greet trespassers with mandibles and acid but I had no choice for Tesh unneeded maintenance and there was no other way I took a deep breath and looked down at the key that would unlock the door Acey family behold the new island I planned on connecting to a Vista isn't it cute it had three bonds I'd money trees also one of the two trees and vortec so it was bound to do well as part of a Vista green moss grew like a carpet along the front of the island I prepared the tray on which the new island would rest by mixing baby powder and rubbing alcohol and painting it along the walls once dried no bobblehead would be able to scale these vertical surfaces I then proceeded to add the two new islands to a Vista and arranged for the driftwood to create the connecting bridge between the three land masses and there we have it a Vista is now officially an archipelago aren't these islands beautiful a sea family looking from afar the islands were a luscious Garden of greenery I couldn't wait to watch the bobbleheads explore their new territories and of course as always in celebration of their new home I provided them with a tasty bite please don't bite I whispered softly summoning up the most calming words that came to mind please subscribe to my channel ok just kidding that's not what I said mmm emerald Empire I come in peace I'm a friend their creator of worlds the ants menaced from the edges watching the tape being removed from the doors I am NOT interested in destroying your home with the tapes removed I unlocked the door and slowly opened one of the panels oh there the glass panel opened and to my surprise the leaf nest detached quite easily without too much fuss thank goodness while some brave ants decided to wander out and escape I decided not to mind them for now and focus on the task at hand moving as slowly and gently as possible it seemed to be working the ants weren't rushing in a mad panic but were strangely standing quite still watching me first things first I went in and wiped the glass and the sticky pads of the piping to improve its suction reattaching their pipe reinstalled one task down next it was time to go into the canopy I went in carefully and snipped away at excess leaves it tripped me out to see the Weaver ant nests so exposed to the outside world for the first time since they were moved in I had to be extra careful not to touch any of the main branches or groupings events all it took was one startled end to hit the panic button which would set off the release of thousands of angry Weaver ants onto my body and ultimately out into the ant room snip snip I place the clippings on the ground as these leaves decay did contribute to the bio activity of the vivarium this would also make sure that we keep any Weaver ants still clinging on to these leaves I could feel some Weaver ants crawling on my neck now but surprisingly not biting me yet they even crawled up my legs the Weaver ants were now all over the immediate area and on me the whole time I felt like I was performing a complex medical surgery with guns pointed at me ready to fire at any moment I was holding my breath and made sure to be unwaveringly present in mind and body my movements needed to be precise and accurate every moment was crucial my heart was beating loudly in my ears the whole time I noticed so many ants were already wandering out of the terrarium and it was in that moment that I received my very first bite the bobbleheads were biting the super worm housewarming gift I gave them with such joy and gusto it wasn't long before the bobbleheads had discovered the two new islands we had prepared for them it was so awesome to see ants traveled across the drift to a bridge to check out the new territories they could call home it was moments like this that made an keeping just so fulfilling ah I press the biting ant away despite the bite surprisingly the majority of the ants were still calm I had to keep going and not be bothered by the pain I proceeded to carefully remove the dead leaf nest and rest it onto the floor gosh I had dreamed of removing this hanging piece for months I can't even begin to describe now it was time to add the leaf litter I made sure that every bit of the ground was covered in this magical medium sauce teeming with bioactive life-forms I proceeded to add the plant then I dumped the dubia roaches I threw in the super worms to join the party and just when I thought everything was complete I remembered there was one last suction cup Therese t'k onto the wall to fixate the pipe but to reach this I had to open the other glass door panel now all of the canopy of ortega was exposed to the outside world reaching deeper into the terrarium to reese tick the pipe onto the glass I found myself face to face with the Emerald Empire just inches away from my head and when I thought that I had experienced the worst part their King another big surprise another button [Music] while the bobbleheads were enjoying their super worm another battle was happening just nearby the bobbleheads had seized a trespasser a wandering Weaver and had somehow managed to set foot on the new island of course there was no hope for the Weaver and against the bobbleheads who pulled at the Weaver ant from all sides and mauled it to death a second Weaver ant had also been unfortunate enough to land on the island and the bobbleheads were quick to capture it I suppose the Weaver ants managed to climb up into the lighting fixture above a Vista and fell down to their demise into the foreign and Kingdom there was just no hope for them though as they were greatly outnumbered the bobbleheads were indeed savage the Emerald Empire was indeed savage I had to finish up now irie stuck the last piping found on the other side of Verta and just like that I was done I had only been bitten twice during the ordeal which was not bad I sealed the tank up and the mission was complete I was happy to know that it would be months until the next maintenance visit into the canopy of our tesha was due and just on time the great typhoons arrived to all of the planets [Music] over the past four days the bobbleheads had settled into their new network of Triple Islands quite nicely I ended up swapping out the base to one large shared glass pan for the two smaller islands as this was much more space efficient my dreams of a Vista becoming a huge archipelago of floating islands were coming true as were my dreams of or tesha a sea family look it was now a multi-species vivarium the roaches lived happily in the forest habitats provided by Vorta they occupied the leaf litter huddled in spaces within the driftwood and even were daring enough to climb up into the treetops and congregate along the screen mesh escape dance were collected one by one by hand over the passing days and inserted back into vortex the rest were hunted down by the house geckos that run loose in the a broom speaking of hunting I did also catch the ants hunting the roaches look at this they caught a huge adult male I had no idea that could seize prey this big or maybe it had already died and they were opportunistically making use of the carcass whatever the case now that these tree dominated territories of Vorta and Avista were restored anew and the ants residing in these lands recreated enjoying upgrades to their homes it filled my heart with so much joy one thing's for sure I learned today how intimately connected my ants were to the trees that lived in their territories how protective they were of them and just how much the health and well-being of the ant colonies inherently depended on the health and well-being of the plants they live with isn't that something we continue to discover every time we step into these micro worlds of our ants a sea family that to truly appreciate one organism one must understand the bigger picture understand how it's connected to other organisms around and when you do understand why it's important to tend to clean up restored respect and appreciate the interconnectedness of life and the environment in which it is contained and due to this great interconnection Mother Nature has set up I learned this week that in caring for life we inherently care for ourselves after a long and successful day I looked down at the clippings and dead tree I had collected from our projects ordinarily I would throw these away but suddenly an awesome idea came to me an idea that I felt could possibly change and affect the lives of every creature and terrarium in the entire ACN Traverse AC family it was time to embark on a new and exciting biological engineering project AC family did you enjoy this week's episode trees are indeed integral parts of some of our ant colonies and like last week this week's episode is

after testing the RT rover autopilot system out on my autonomous box boat I decided to build a more capable vehicle since the Box boat had problems with the propellers getting tangled in weeds I decided to make this version an airboat which is a bit less efficient and more noisy but hopefully more reliable I designed these ship hull like pontoons in SolidWorks and 3d printed them each one in three sections they're printed out of PLA from GTECH I then glued them together sanded the outsides and coated it in epoxy for waterproofing I actually had to come back later and do a second layer of epoxy because the first layer didn't cover up all the little gaps in the print and they were leaking water I then added tubes to connect the pontoons and mounted a plastic storage container on top to house all the electronics it's all powered off of two decrepit 9 amp hour 6l lipo's in the pontoons after spending some time on tuning I got it working pretty well it's able to run away point missions without wandering too much it cruises at roughly one meter per second I purposely made it slow to maximize the range as the goal of this project is to do super long distance long duration missions before attempting a long-distance 13 kilometer Waypoint mission I did a few shorter test missions to verify everything was working here's the footage from those but first I'd like to thank Olight for sponsoring this video they make awesome tactical flashlights but I actually used when I was filming this video more on them later ok here we go putting it into auto mode I'm camped out here on this bench underneath this tree with my laptop ground station and there's the boat kind of a rainy day here in Seattle but everything on the boat should be fully waterproof so that's alright the purpose of today's test is just to keep it in the water for like an hour or so and see if there's any leaks because last time I was having a lot of issues with water getting in and I'm doing a waypoint mission that goes way out to the other side of the lake so this should be pretty exciting it definitely does not look like it's doing what it's supposed to do there's no way point over there and I gotta go stop it work goes into those trees ok let's try this again one more time that doesn't give me very much confidence for whether or not it'll be able to make it all the way to the other side of the lake and back looks like it finished the waypoints that I sat close to here and now it's heading out to the faraway point on the other side of the lake hopefully it doesn't screw up again I'm using this trashcan as a base station to get my antenna in a better position it looks like the telemetry link is kind of starting to drop out a little bit so we might be dark through the whole far side of the mission until it gets a little closer it's way out there maybe I should have kept it a bit closer to home since I am doing a float test yeah it'll be fine I should get a high gain directional antenna for this ground station that thing is so far away holy cow I just remembered I'm not totally in the dark here I have the pinpoint RC black box on board it gives you the last reported position via cellular connection so that's nice okay we have telemetry signal that's great it's like halfway home okay it's back what a relief so it's gonna go to a few waypoints out here in front of the dock back and forth so I can get some shots of it and then it's supposed to drive itself right up onto the beach there it looks like it's not able to turn right for some reason I think maybe he got a piece of seaweed stuck on the front of the bow or something I honestly don't know hmm I have to manually take control here it's a good thing this happened to now and not when it was on the other side of the lake it's gonna run right into the dock unless it starts to turn and it doesn't look like it's starting to turn I'm gonna kill it go to manual and they're still not stopping stop stop stop stop stop stop stop don't do that no it's not stopping why it's gonna go under the dock now no are the props gonna hit oh no looks like it's fine oh geez oh no oh jeez oh oh there it goes doesn't look like there's any seaweed on it I don't know what's all there is a big trailing piece of seaweed that's dragging behind it's coming home stop stop the motors don't stop when you tell it to stop oh wow yeah all that garbage was on it that's a lot of drag okay so why does that happen poor whole design on my part the front of the hull is vertical which was really dumb on my part so in order to prevent it from doing that I think I need to move the batteries so far back in the boat so that it rides with the tips of the holes out of the water I should try that right now it's in fall hulls out of the water wheelie mode looks like I won't have any seaweed problems now I'll give it one more chance to return to home autonomously like it was supposed to now it's in return mode let's see what it does it should just drive right up onto the beach there so far so good let's go see well right over that rock I don't see any water yet yeah this one is doing that battery's dry too that's excellent so this thing is ready for a bigger mission so I'm here at Lake Washington this morning and I installed a new telemetry radio this is the RF D 900 X and it should go way farther than that little eBay pixhawk kit telemetry radio that I was using before so I'm just gonna drive out that way and see how far I can go there is a boat pulling a water skier over there so I got to be careful to stay close to the shore there's another good reason to stay close to the shore so I just started the mission and it's going to the first Waypoint I've got my ultra dialed ground station here our FD 900 X holder I should have this thing up in the air higher but whatever these are FD 900 radios are meant for use on aircraft and in the air they can go really far but my question is how will they do as a surface radio so so far so good we'll see how this works that thing is so far away I can just barely see it it's about to make the first turn oh there goes and it's about to make the second turn and then head all right it's coming home so on that mission the farthest point from home was a little over 800 meters away here he comes so that worked great I think the next step is to come out here at like 3 a.m. or some ungodly hour when there's no boats on the lake and just go ridiculously far so it's 4:30 in the morning I'm here at this park on the other side of Lake Washington and today's the big day I'm gonna do what should be a 14 kilometer Waypoint mission so it looks like this should be a great morning for a big mission it's really calm the water is pretty smooth got a bunch of gooses over here I'm gonna turn on the boat and to make the Waypoint mission I've got the pontoon flaps closed latched with rubber bands then I taped over the seams to make it more waterproof or splash proof I have two extra batteries in it now in addition to the big old 9 amp hour 6l packs there are two new 4,000 milliamp hour six cells so that should give us plenty of run time I think 13 kilometers is a long way okay so this is what the Waypoint mission looks like right now I'm over here in Kirkland this little park so I'm going to send it out make sure it can do waypoints and turn correctly it'll go past downtown Kirkland and then kind of cross over the lake to the other side over here by the NOAA headquarters and the University of Washington and then after that it will continue up this long finger at the north end of Lake Washington and I'll meet it at a park along the shore of the lake in Bothell so it's a total distance of twelve thousand eight hundred and thirty seven meters but anyways yeah this is by far the biggest autonomous boat mission I've ever done I added this emergency switch here so that if it washes up in someone's yard they can turn the motors off really easily and I wrote some little notes on it saying do not disturb or if it washes up in your yard call me on the inside here I've got the pinpoint RC black box we'll be using to monitor it with via a cellular connection got some lights so no one runs into it in their boat it goes ok there it goes so it's in auto mode now I'm gonna monitor it during these first few waypoints see if it looks like it's working ok and if it is then I'll jump in the car and try and race it over to the shore of the park on the other side alright sweet it seems to be working really well so let's hop in the car and race it over there this is pretty exciting but I'm also really nervous that something's gonna go really wrong so it'll be interesting to say the least it's obviously gonna lose telemetry connection when I get in the car and drive but the failsafe is set to just keep going if that happens one last shot of the boat it's going it's going pretty quickly I'm crossing the 520 bridge right now that goes across Lake Washington and that means the little boat is out there somewhere that's so cool it's taken me about 20 minutes to drive to the other side of the lake and I have a feeling the boat is gonna beat me to the park just got to the park I'm heading down to the water I don't see any autonomous boats so far I got a signal a second ago oh yeah if I got a signal again I right now I'm up here on this peninsula right here and the boat has gone kind of up here towards downtown Kirkland and now it's just turning to make its way across the lake and come to this peninsula so I was wrong I thought that the boat might beat me over here but I beat it by quite a bit this is gonna be a long journey this is perfect I'm on this lifeguard chair here that's probably six feet off the ground it gets the antennas up nice and high so we're moving roughly one meter per second here and this is a 13,000 meter journey so that adds up to be an estimated trip time of about 3.6 hours there it is Wow what is that there it is going along slowly but surely ah so as I'm waiting for this boat to make its way across the lake I'd like to thank Olight for sponsoring this video Oh light is actually the manufacturer of this headlamp that I'm currently using I would highly recommend it it's super bright super durable it can be used alone as a flashlight or you can strap it onto this headband and use it as an awesome headlamp Oh light also just came out with a new tactical flashlight the m2r Pro it puts out an amazing 1800 lumens and claims a 300 meter beam throw it's so bright that if you accidentally turn it on in a carrying case it will start to burn the nylon which is an indication that this thing has some serious power the m2r Pro also features a magnetic USB charge port and a magnetic remote switch so it can be used on the front of a rifle if that's what you're into on October 31st there's a flash sale where you can get the m2r Pro for 42% off see the link in the description for more info so now I'm on my way to a park that's up north of here and hopefully I'll be able to pick up the boats radio signal from there so I just got to the second Park and I have been using this pinpoint RC black box to monitor the position but now the position is not showing up so that could either mean the black box lost cellular connection and it's not transmitting the position or it's sank but anyways let's go plug in the laptop telemetry and see if we can pick up a signal found another one of these lifeguard chairs which is awesome I don't see it so that's not a good sign oh it's picking it up where is it let's see zoom in here I think I'm right here so that means the boat should be somewhere out there I definitely don't see it oh yeah there it is it's just a lot further off of shore than I thought it would be now the big question is how's my battery doing let's see we're at 20 4.2 volts slower than I would like it to be but it looks like we're a little less than halfway through the mission here so I guess that's actually not bad at all now I'm picking up the signal on the black box again as well so that's reassuring I have not seen a single other boat out on the lake this whole time if I didn't make it clear that's why I'm doing it so early to avoid collisions so far on the journey open to this point there's been quite a few parks and stuff like that along the shore for me to monitor from but from here on out on this whole stretch up here it's just all residential property lining the lake so if something goes wrong I don't really have a way to get to the boat or even a place to monitor it from so I think what I'm gonna have to do is just drive all the way up here to the end or I'm gonna meet it and just hope I can get a radio signal from there but I'm feeling pretty confident right now we're doing ok on battery or at twenty four point one volts and we're still doing one point one ish meters per second so on our way to the final location it's a 14 minute drive there's a little hill here that overlooks the lake and I might just have a clear line of sight all the way to the boat so I'm going to plug in the telemetry radio to the computer and see if I can get a signal absolutely amazing I'm getting a signal that's coming out it's a very intermittent signal but I am getting a signal looks like we're almost halfway up the northern finger of the lake the boat will probably reach the shore here in maybe an hour or so this telemetry radio is fire goddamn based on my super rough Google Maps distance estimate it's about 3.5 miles away and we're still picking up telemetry signal which is incredible for a radio that's so close to the kind of the surface I thought this was just gonna be another disaster but all as well we are getting good reception from the pinpoint RC blackbox I definitely don't think we'd be able to see it yet but I'm going up on the sidewalk next to the road up there to see if I can get a better telemetry signal because it's higher up off the water my biggest concern right now is that the little arrow boat indicator is not pointing towards me it's kind of pointing towards the west or towards the shore so that could be an indication that it's tangled in lake wheat or something like that but we'll see which direction it looks like it's heading it could just be like a compass variance or something I assumed in and it looks like it's going in the right direction it's just pointed in a strange way so the black box is now reading 2 km/h previously it was reading 3 km/h so it does look like the bonus slowed down a little bit also cue ground control here is showing 0.7 m/s and it was at like 1.1 m/s before so it looks like it slowed down a little bit that could be from like seaweed on the bow that could be why the heading is off still not sure but I guess we'll find out when it shows up if it shows up okay this is really bad it suddenly looks like it's stopped and now it's going the wrong direction oh geez it's actually going backwards I'm gonna change the mode to hold so that it stops and then see if it keeps moving backwards yeah no it's just going in circles something's definitely wrong so I switched from auto to hold mode and multiple times to try and like start and stop the motors and see if it would free the seaweed or whatever is binding it up and causing it to be stuck and nothing worked so I'm gonna hop in my car and drive over there and see if I can kind of manually control it with my spectrum radio I just drove over to this residential shoreline area and I see the boat there it is just drifting dead okay I'm gonna turn on my spectrum radio see if I can get a signal and try and manually drive this thing back and this is unlikely to work but fingers crossed I think it's sinking artificial horizon is showing that it's at through a very fortunate series of events I managed to find myself a kayak and it looks like I'm gonna get the boat just in time before it sinks oh yeah that thing is messed up aw jeez it's sinking quick oh wow I'm so lucky to find this kayak oh geez this is amazing though I can't believe it so okay I got it put that thing in the boat using the emergency motor stops which god damn look at that even though I made an airboat I still get seaweed around my prop I can never win well there we go safe and sound so I stopped on that residential Road over there at the only lot that doesn't have a house built on it the road just like gets too close to the lake for them to build a house and I was parked there and this lady comes out and she's like excuse me you ran over my my wall or something and you can't park here and I was like oh what a jerk I'm the but I was nice to her I was like okay I'll move sorry I was just I lost my model boat and then so I went and parked somewhere else and then I walked back to that lot and she saw me sitting on the ground with my laptop and my radio and she came out and said you need to borrow a kayak and I was like oh my God thank you so much oh now I is safe oh lucky this thing should be at the bottom of the lake thanks to that nice lady is saved yeah you uh you saved me that's excellent so as you saw it looked like it was sinking pretty quick but I don't actually know if it would completely sink because I had these pontoons packed full of foam they are still pretty heavy with the batteries but there was quite a bit of foam in there so I'm kind of thinking it wouldn't have actually sank in no I didn't actually test that so I'm not completely sure but there's still quite a bit of water in there so it looks like this pontoon either just started to leak which seems unlikely because in my last few tests it didn't leak at all or the boat hit a wave or something and water got in somehow that seems on likely because I had this edge sealed with tape right here and the rest of it's pretty sealed up so yeah I really don't know what happened it must have been a slow leak that's the only thing that would make sense and then once the boat started getting an angle like that it just couldn't go straight maybe this prop was in the wall I bet that's what it was when the boat was tilted back this prop was in the water so it couldn't thrust to the boat forward as well so from the moment of the first lake weed incident where I first got lake weed stuck on the front I realized that this is a poor design they would honestly it'd probably work so much better if I just put all these electronics on a boogie board so these holes were just a serious waste of time but yeah boogie board hmm that's what I'll

that's all murder someone you can't leave him like that [Music] and he's some kind of sequel character or spin-off that will never get followed up on shouldn't we have a league of our own oh snap do you know who that is that's that's the next director's problem in a world dominated by disney's mickey mouse club watch dc's effort to set themselves apart where marvel wanders what if the gods were just like us dc answers they're real and they want nothing to do with you i used to want to save the world i don't want to be king yeah here's the thing i can't be here superman was never real the world instead of adapting the best storylines of their best comics they'll let the guys behind blake trinity and rise of skywalker take their best shot and instead of quipping all the time that is america's ass everyone talks like a 14 year old trying to sound badass while they skim a wiki page this is katana she's got my back she can cut all you in half with one sword stroke just like moe on the lawn i would advise not getting killed by her her sword traps the souls of its victims you know if it's a choice between this and the quips then i choose the airbud franchise [Music] experience a universe that rests on one amateur bodybuilder's shoulders zack snyder the inventor of the feature-length movie trailer because if trailers have all the coolest shots then a four-hour long trailer would be nothing but awesome i mean right bro watch as he reinvents dc's biggest icons by taking all the color out literally and metaphorically and whether or not you're on board with this super nihilism cringe while the studio rips control of his films away undermines the world he created and ensures that every fan he made will reflexively hate anything they ever do you know i'd expect better from the people in charge of harry potter and game of thrones wait no i wouldn't of course they screwed this up so before the flash movie resets the timeline or gets cancelled again or the star gets canceled again enjoy superhero movies for the thoughtful and rage troll inside all of us where the only thing more dysfunctional than what's happening behind the camera is every dc hero's relationship with their parents i have to go back when i was a kid my dad traded me for a six-pack of beer didn't think you were ready for them to see the monster you are not a monster it's weird that you thought i meant me mom it's me i had no father my mother sculpted me from clay and i was brought to life by zeus well that's neat story mcguffins the codex is krypton's future the lost trident of atlan the god killer he's after the change engine his mother box we gotta cut her heart out a stone started all this the rock was lost it's a rock amazing actors given nothing to do do you really think that oh wow they just they really just vanish that's rude dumb voice over some days my childhood feels so very far away and others i can almost see it jules verne once wrote put two ships in the open sea without wind or tide it will come together there were perfect things diamond absolutes the truest darkness is not the absence of light it is the conviction that the light will never return bad wigs [Music] the one human being keeping these heroes from becoming complete psychopaths the director of wonder woman spewed with warner brothers the director of birds of prey spew with warner brothers the director of suicide squad spewed with warner brothers the director of aquaman he's pretty chill with warner brothers actually and the director of three dc eu spewed with warner brothers hmm i'm sensing a pattern here you know they should let warner brothers direct the movies that way everything can be space jam too crisis for infinite dorks so many of these movies have a scene where the hero is learning to fly but can't quite get off the ground what a perfect metaphor hey screen junkies in batman's one-man quest to fight crime how many horrible crimes does he commit himself and does one of them violate the geneva convention yes in a new video we did the math on batman's crimes harder than oracle on tax day click the thumbnail on the right to watch it now this episode is presented by pagoda but the egg rolls in what if i told you that you can like both marvel and dc it's not like my comment isn't clever it's just that other comments are better than mine say something i'm giving up on


green
keying
yourself
is
pretty
cool
you
can
just
put
yourself
at
any
place
you
like
but
how
can
we
get
that
crisp
clean
green
key
well
let
me
show
you
how
it's
done
right
inside
premiere
pro
hey
folks
jordy
here
for
cinecom.net
and
welcome
to
the
creative
videography
channel
today
we're
back
again
in
premiere
pro
and
we're
taking
a look
at
how
to
do
a
green
key
now
before
i
start
i
do
have
to
mention
that
the
basis
of
a
good
green
key
is
your
recording
itself
you
need
to
have
set
up
a
good
green
screen
proper
lighting
and
make
a
good
recording
and
then
you
can
pull
off
that
crisp
and
clean
green
key
in
post-production
if
your
recording
wasn't
good
you're
going
to
have
a
hard
time
in
post
as
well
now
for
those
of
you
who
would
like
to
find
out
more
on
how
to
set
up
a
green
screen
you
can
just
click
here
in
the
card
on
the
upper
right
to
go
to
another
tutorial
video
that
we've
created
on
how
to
set
up
a
green
screen
in
your
garage
with
some
basic
equipment
on
a
budget
but
i'm
going
to
assume
that
you've
already
got
your
shots
if
you're
watching
this
tutorial
so
let's
just
get
started
and
see
how
we
do
this
inside
premiere
pro
now
for
those
of
you
who
are
wondering
why
not
do
this
inside
after
effects
you
know
it
just
has
tons
of
more
possibilities
well
we
do
mainly
all
of
our
green
keys
inside
premiere
pro
and
the
reason
for
it
is
well
we
just
get
great
results
as
you
can
see
right
here
and
also
and
that's
something
that
after
effects
just
can't
do
we
can
play
this
back
in
real
time
as
you
can
see
i
haven't
rendered
this
at
all
this
right
here
is
by
the
way
a
4k
clip
we've
done
color
corrections
onto
it
the
green
key
and
we're
watching
two
layers
at
the
same
time
so
that
is
pretty
awesome
the
performance
we're
getting
in
premiere
is
astonishing
so
let's
get
started
i'm
going
to
delete
all
of
these
clips
right
here
and
drag
in
the
green
key
clip
back
to
premiere
pro
and
yes
i
want
to
keep
the
existing
settings
because
this
is
actually
a
4k
clip
like
i
said
before
that
we're
dragging
inside
a
1080p
sequence
so
i'm
going
to
scale
this
down
so
that
it
matches
the
size
of
the
sequence
and
to
start
with
before
we're
going
to
add
the
ultra
key
effect
to
it
which
is
uh
which
is
the
effect
we're
going
to
work
with
i'm
first
going
to
go
to
the
opacity
right
here
and
take
my
pen
tool
because
what
i
want
to
do
is
mask
out
the
subject
because
as
you
can
see
on
the
edges
right
here
we've
got
this
little
shadow
and
that's
because
while
my
lighting
wasn't
set
so
properly
but
we
don't
really
need
that
because
all
of
the
presentations
happen
in
the
middle
so
just
cut
out
your
subject
like
that
now
after
you've
created
your
mask
you
can
always
reposition
the
points
just
take
them
and
reposition
them
elsewhere
as
you
can
see
now
make
sure
that
you
also
play
back
your
clip
because
you
don't
want
any
actions
to
go
outside
that
mask
so
right
here
you
can
see
that
it's
very
close
i'm
just
going
to
make
this
a
little
bit
bigger
like
that
and
everything
looks
good
further
so
now
we
are
ready
to
get
that
ultra
key
effect
head
over
to
your
effects
and
search
for
the
ultra
key
and
drag
that
onto
your
clip
head
over
to
the
options
and
the
first
thing
which
is
pretty
obvious
we're
going
to
take
the
color
picker
and
just
select
the
green
and
there
we
go
we've
already
got
a
key
but
it's
not
so
clean
yet
and
we
will
see
that
better
once
we're
going
to
set
the
output
from
the
final
result
to
the
alpha
channel
an
alpha
channel
will
actually
show
you
the
mask
of
what
is
being
keyed
out
so
everything
in
white
will
stay
there
and
everything
black
is
gone
now
as
you
can
see
here
definitely
on
the
bottom
we
still
have
a lot
of
whites
that
means
it's
not
keyed
out
properly
so
that's
why
we're
going
to
dive
into
the
settings
right
here
the
mat
generation
to
uh
clean
that
up
now
these
controls
right
here
you
can
see
it
somehow
as
doing
a
color
correction
but
then
for
keying
so
a
keying
correction
just
like
with
color
correction
we
can
work
on
the
shadows
the
highlights
the
exposure
and
such
we
also
here
have
those
options
you
know
the
transparency
you
can
see
it
somehow
as
the
brightness
or
the
exposure
but
you
also
have
the
options
here
to
work
on
the
highlights
the
shadows
the
pedestal
which
is
the
blacks
so
let's
start
with
that
transparency
setting
what
you
basically
want
to
do
is
increase
this
as
much
as
possible
now
if
you're
going
to
increase
this
too
much
you
will
see
what
happens
here
it's
going
to
like
bite
into
the
subject
and
that's
not
what
you
want
you
want
to
keep
this
all
white
also
here
the
clapper
so
i'm
going
to
decrease
this
again
just
until
we
don't
see
anything
anymore
in
the
mask
so
that
is
good
now
the
reason
that
we
have
to
increase
the
transparency
as
much
as
possible
is
because
of
a little
spill
that
we
have
to
deal
with
later
so
we're
going
to
see
later
why
that
is
next
we're
going
to
work
on
the
shadows
and
you
want
to
bring
that
down
to
remove
the
stuff
in
the
background
but
also
the
shadows
come
back
in
my
jeans
right
here
which
is
pretty
dark
and
also
the
clapper
itself
so
again
we're
going
to
do
the
exact
same
thing
as
with
the
transparency
we
want
to
decrease
that
as
much
as
possible
just
until
we're
not
biting
into
the
subject
so
that's
something
like
this
now
while
you're
changing
these
options
make
sure
to
also
check
your
movement
the
whole
shot
now
and
then
because
sometimes
it
could
be
that
your
keying
looks
well
at
this
time
but
when
you're
going
back
when
your
subject
is
taking
a
different
position
that
it
doesn't
look
that
well
anymore
so
double
check
that
now
and
then
and
then
finally
we're
going
to
work
on
the
pedestal
and
this
is
going
to
make
sure
that
we
can
bring
down
the
whites
here
in
the
background
you
can
see
these
as
the
blacks
and
the
shadows
kind
of
lay
on
top
of
that
so
this
is
really
like
the
last
value
that
we
have
to
go
through
there
we
go
don't
increase
your
values
too
much
because
that
will
do
an
aggressive
key
that
will
just
leave
some
nasty
things
on
your
edges
so
let's
set
this
back
now
the
output
here
on
the
composite
which
is
the
final
result
and
a
couple
more
things
that
we
have
to
deal
with
if
we're
going
to
set
this
to
100
here
you
will
see
here
these
edges
we've
got
this
little
line
around
the
subject
so
we
have
to
remove
that
also
here
you
can
see
in
my
cheek
that
i've
got
some
green
cast
also
that
we
can
all
remove
with
this
effect
but
before
we
do
so
let's
take
a
very
quick
break
to
thank
the
sponsor
of
this
video
stanza
an
easy
to
use
video
transition
pack
from
rocket
stock
comes
with
over
200
unique
effects
you
just
need
to
drag
and
drop
the
three
random
transitions
into
your
timeline
in
premiere
pro
or
final
cut
x
it's
a
perfect
option
for
video
editors
of
all
experience
levels
for
free
samples
or
to
see
this
pack
in
action
check
out
the
link
in
the
description
below
or
head
over
to
rocketstock.com
to
find
out
more
and
welcome
back
guys
let's
continue
with
the
matte
cleanup
which
is
the
next
option
in
the
ultra
key
effect
and
with
this
option
right
here
we
can
choke
into
the
mat
and
remove
that
little
line
now
as
i
was
telling
before
the
transparency
try
to
have
that
at
the
maximum
as
possible
if
you're
going
to
lower
this
too
much
you'll
see
that
that
line
only
gets
larger
so
that's
the
reason
why
we've
increased
that
transparency
to
reduce
that
line
as
much
as
possible
from
the
beginning
so
that
we
don't
have
to
choke
too
much
because
you
know
choking
isn't
that
good
to
do
you
are
actually
biting
into
your
subject
so
uh
be
careful
using
the
choke
effect
you
can
do
this
a little
bit
also
for
the
hair
sometimes
it's
just
way
too
harsh
here
then
you
can
play
with
the
soft
and
as
well
a
little
bit
to
get
kind
of
a
gradient
here
in
the
hairs
but
don't
over
exaggerate
this
often
because
we
don't
want
it
to
be
that
visible
of
course
a
good
green
key
has
kind
of
harder
edges
and
not
those
very
feathers
edges
like
you
sometimes
see
which
just
really
doesn't
look
well
and
then
finally
the
last
option
that
we
have
to
go
through
is
the
spill
suppression
and
this
here
is
going
to
make
sure
that
we
can
remove
this
little
green
here
from
my
cheek
sometimes
you
also
see
that
in
the
arms
of
a
subject
when
they
are
turned
against
the
green
screen
now
the
only
thing
we
basically
have
to
do
in
here
is
increase
the
desaturation
again
increase
that
as
much
as
possible
right
before
we
turn
blackhand
right
so
decrease
that
back
a
little
bit
right
before
and
that
will
take
care
of
the
green
here
in
my
cheek
and
that's
basically
it
let's
put
this
back
on
fit
so
we
can
see
the
whole
shot
looking
pretty
awesome
now
when
your
subject
is
moving
a
lot
like
here
where
i'm
turning
myself
around
we
sometimes
run
into
a
problem
where
the
edges
get
a
little
bit
more
visible
because
of
the
motion
blur
you
can
see
it
a
little
bit
here
with
the
clapper
it
seems
like
it's
done
pretty
good
i
was
hoping
that
the
artifacts
would
show
itself
a
bit
more
but
that
just
means
that
recording
was
done
good
so
uh
i
shouldn't
complain
here
okay
we
got
a
little
line
right
here
in
my
arm
i'm
just
put
that
back
on
100
so
we
can
see
that
a
bit
more
that's
because
of
the
motion
blur
it's
something
that
we
can't
really
avoid
there
are
some
tricks
in
the
recording
to
just
increase
your
shutter
speed
um
but
you
will
always
have
motion
blur
when
someone
is
dancing
around
or
turning
themselves
around
to
do
a
silly
move
with
a
film
clapper
but
anyways
you
can
kind
of
fix
that
those
edges
and
uh
moving
stuff
with
the
luma
setting
right
here
so
that's
it
head
back
to
the
fit
mode
and
from
the
project
panel
here
i'm
going
to
drag
in
my
background
behind
it
to
make
it
the
same
size
as
well
looking
pretty
awesome
isn't
it
i'm
still
looking
kind
of
flat
kind
of
dull
here
so
i'm
also
going
to
color
grade
myself
pretty
important
here
i'm
just
going
to
go
to
color
is
that
you
do
your
color
corrections
afterwards
and
not
before
the
ultra
key
effect
so
i
do
anything
you
want
in
here
to
make
yourself
look
appealing
i'm
just
going
to
increase
the
saturation
the
exposure
a
bit
this
doesn't
really
matter
it
really
depends
on
your
taste
again
the
most
important
thing
is
just
to
make
sure
that
the
elementary
color
is
after
the
ultra
key
so
that's
it
for
this
tutorial
video
which
was
by
the
way
inspired
