YouTube Shopping is the future (my idea)

Posted by – July 31, 2019

This is my first unrehearsed draft trying to explain my vision of what I think YouTube Shopping should be. YouTube Shopping is an idea for a service that I think is just basic common sense and that I think YouTube needs to implement to 10x increase monetization for all YouTubers and thus to 10x increase the quality of content published on YouTube. It’s basically the automatic 1-click purchasing of relevant products automatically detected to be relevant to every specific video on YouTube. If the video talks about cameras it may be a link to purchase the camera. Whatever the video is about, YouTube’s algorithms can always detect a relevant product to be able to sell to the viewers of that video. But it should not be considered advertising. Just as Google Shopping must support all third party price comparison engines, integrate every web store in the world, YouTube Shopping must be able to integrate with Amazon Prime, with all other price comparison and all other web stores on the web, as long as they also provide commissions per sale. And not just regular e-commerce, also all other affilate sales systems should be integrated. And that relevant product can be adjusted by the YouTuber and eventually by the viewer too if YouTube’s algorithm identifies the wrong product. There may be more than one relevant product at any given time in any video too. Some may want to buy the camera that I am talking about, others may want to buy the t-shirt that I am wearing, others may want to buy the merchandise that I am selling.

The RAM and cache on the 8X can be protected with ECC (Error Correction Code) which make these SoMs ideal for critical applications such as Industrial Automation, Medical, Railways, etc.
Toradex shows the Colibri iMX8X running a GPU accelerated Qt application. The Apalis iMX8X with ECC will be available soon The Industrial 4.0 demo shows a Real-time Time Motion Control Application. A Toradex Apalis iMX6 powers the Midi-Eagle Computer from Diamond Systems featuring dual ethernet interfaces A CODESYS Soft PLC Stack is running on top of real-time Linux with a motion controller software. The motors are connected via EtherCAT. The system also utilizes an OPC-UA Server from Matrikon The demo was put together by the experienced Toradex Partner BE.Services.
RIMAC, famous for its insanely fast electric cars, demonstrates how the pin-compatibility of the Toradex SoM allows them to simply upgrade from an Apalis iMX6 to an Apalis iMX8QM.
Kynetics is providing Android support for Toradex modules. They show off Android on the i.MX 8 QuadMax but also on the i.MX 7 utilizing the integrated Cortex-M4 Core.
This allows it to run on the Cortex M4 Core an RTOS such as FreeRTOS and offload tasks.
Kynetics also provides an over-the-air (OTA) solution called Update Factory for IoT applications based on Eclipse hawkBit.
