This week, we hear about Kishore’s trip to India and his testing of airline entertainment devices, discuss the demise of Pebble, and expand on our review of the new Oculus Touch controllers. Plus, Jeremy’s mind gets blown when he hears about the idea of transcranial magnetic stimulation!

where can I find the shownotes or the articles Kishore wanted to link to ?
Here is the link for the journal article:
http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/frobt.2016.00072/full
And the link for the NewScientist summary:
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2114056-brain-stimulation-guides-people-through-an-invisible-maze/
Makes me realise Kishore’s science is from NewScientist not from keeping abreast of publications.
Oh c’mon. I did screw up my description of that journal article – I recognized it immediately after the show and talked about it with Jeremy and Norm. I just got caught up in messing with Jeremy a little bit ahead of discussing touch. Sorry! Just hadn’t had a chance to post this AM.
I actually found this on /r/science, which actually does have a bevy of direct links to interesting publications. It’s hard to keep up across a range of disciplines without some sort of aggregator.
Writing up the links now – sorry for the delays!
seriously, where the holy hell do you guys even POST your show notes? Way, WAY too frequently you guys talk about videos, articles, news, etc on the show and you don’t annotate the youtube video itself with relevant resources, or provide a link in the video description on youtube and you don’t include any notations here on the Tested page that even remotely looks like show notes.
As far as I can discern your show notes are a shared document that the three of you have access to, that nobody else can see.
Every single conversation you guys have which includes the phrase “We’ll put a link in the show notes” is almost entirely pointless if we don’t know where the bloody things are!
Provide your fucking citations!
I am out of the Glowforge campaign as this is pissing me off. Who knows what the real reasons are prices in Shenzhen go up all the time, laser reliability, fire hazards, buyout offers… I am not waiting for it anymore. Interested in seeing how long the laser works though during tested testing. If that all is promising I buy one when they come out.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation is used to treat depression for example. I guess it can mess up things quite severely if you hit the wrong area? Anyway indeed the future if it can be adapted to individual brains that can differ quite a bit.
So there was a misunderstanding with that “March” date from Pebble. The line said that we’d get refunds “by march”, then they put out a support article saying that Kickstarter was issuing refunds on December 16.

yeah, it’s all a bit of a clusterfrak. I’m frustrated by the ordeal 🙁
I posted timestamps and links on YT, but here they are as well: http://pastebin.com/DtS7mffC
a thought about the TNG board game… looks like there is a version out for Tabletop simulator’s workshop http://store.steampowered.com/app/286160 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581374097

Duelling with Kishore on timestamps!!!!
Kishore, use the link feature!
Seriously? PasteBin? how were we to figure that out? I’m looking right now at the YouTube page for this video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TGBO4F_RTg and the video description is as follows:
Notably absent is any reference to show notes. I also read the comment thread and saw no links to pastebin anywhere. Am I missing something? Why not include in your list of links a fourth link to http://pastebin.com/u/dragonflydiy and you wouldn’t even have to change it from week to week.
Don’t get me wrong I appreciate the effort to put together these show notes, but come on…
re last guardian’s mixed reviews: i find that encouraging. there seems to be a trend that high scores are earned by conformity – the level of fidelity we know to be good. the kind of controls we know to be good. the play time we know to be good. the multiplayer modes w eknow to be good. if anything dares deviating, you get commenters whining how it ‘broke their immersion’ (immersion seems to be the one substance in the known universe more fragile than masculinity) and how the devs don’t know what they’re doing.
i’d rather someone dares doing their thing and doesn’t nail the landing than yet another cookie-cutter AAA game.
the timestamps and links are in the YouTube comments since they are so long. We can put a link in the description in the future.
Love the show. But please don’t do a “review tv-show” segment, I live in another country and Westworld is mid season. Please understand that TV shows have different distribution schedules internationally, I don’t mind general discussions but every time when an episode is mentioned of a show (not only WW) I go …ahh….oh well. But I understand, not fuming nor upset just a wish.
I love the way Jeremy was just shaking his head when you were describing the century egg. Just finished watching Man vs Snake. It was interesting.
Jeremy, I print the .obj files from medium without a problem thus far. I load them into Meshlab export as .stl and print through Simplify3D. Fun
dude chill
it is not necessary to swear at the crew.
Further followup, Pebble Time 2 kickstarter backers (myself included) have already started getting refunds from Kickstarter.
Hey Tested guys,
I’d like to see your take on the Occipital Bridge HMD for iPhone. Maybe have Will back to contribute whatever he’s allowed to share.
I care about the outros, and I think you guys are doing a major disservice to your fans making the outros by not stating their name or handle before playing it. Take 5 minutes before you start recording to download the file from Soundcloud and know who made it so you can give credit.
You are right, My attitude was uncouth, and I am sorry to the crew, in particular.
I have been asking for more than a year that they find a better way to reference videos, articles and the like than just mentioning it in passing, or saying “google ‘so and so’ – it’ll be the first result” or putting it in the show notes that were nowhere to be found. My patience wore thin.
While I’m not trying to excuse my outburst, I believe that my point I was trying to make is absolutely still valid. Kishore is – if not an outright scientist – a science educator and public figure of science and he should realize the importance of providing citations in general – and when you do post a bibliography, you don’t do it as a memo in reply to the original publication.
Either this was an outright lie, or his comment is not showing up on the youtube page in question. I will give Kishore the benefit of the doubt that he did post the comment he says he did, but his comment isn’t showing up because either the comment isn’t deemed ‘popular’ enough to YouTube, or that I am in Canada and youtube has decided that I don’t get to see it for some reason. Can you find it in the youtube comments? SHOULD one even HAVE to search the entire comment thread for the show notes?
When literally the bare minimum that is needed for a logical solution to this is to include one additional link when writing up the description, I don’t feel like I ask much for the benefit of clarity.
Excellent point. Will definitely do so in the future.
@ForgottenLords You’re not wrong about us doing a better job with shownotes. That’s something I decided to take on personally after my run of hosting a couple months back and I just got too busy to implement a permanent solution. Timestamping a 2 hour show does take a little bit of work – so I want to find a solution that will work efficiently. Look for something better/permanent soon (at least when I’m on the show).
