<v Speaker 1>The following program is produced by the tech Talk Radio

2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>network Learning the Cable Guy, and you're listening to tech

3
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>cup Radio. Welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio.

4
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird, I'm Matt Jones,

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm justin leme Man. It's good to see everybody.

6
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>It's been a while, so we've been able to just

7
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>all get together, you know, Memorial Day and.

8
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Jobs and the end of the school year, graduations.

9
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, stress to kill an elephant. We've all been busy, right, Yeah,

10
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know it is. I know it is,

11
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.439
<v Speaker 1>and a lot's been happening with each one of us.

12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Have been doing different things.

13
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I know that.

14
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Matt's good to see you. You've been focused on some

15
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>things and now you're working. You're working on your home lab, right. Yeah.

16
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.439
<v Speaker 3>So when I was going through my my unemployment phase,

17
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 3>fun employment, fun employment, I was like, Okay, we'll try

18
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 3>putting the home lab back together. And I tried kind

19
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>of a couple of different ways, but the iteration I've

20
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 3>settled on. I haven't pushed anything to my home lab yet.

21
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 3>I've got three machines, one as a ton of storage

22
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>in it and the other two are just you know,

23
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 3>beef your workstation machines. But I've been doing a ton

24
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 3>of coding for it. Actually, I decided this time, instead

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 3>of trying to touch and do everything, I'm playing with

26
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Terraform and a sable. So I've been building a whole

27
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 3>bunch of Terraform scripts and playbooks, getting antsible set up,

28
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 3>putting in all the variables and the instructions. I haven't

29
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 3>hit go yet, but ideally when this is done, I'll

30
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 3>have everything uploaded get labs so I can share it.

31
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 3>But ideally, when I have everything coded the way I want,

32
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm able to just hit go and it will deploy

33
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>it to all three of these machines for the setup

34
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>that I want, and then if I want to make

35
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 3>changes or add stuff in the future, I just add

36
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.959
<v Speaker 3>additional files and playbooks to it. It's been a really

37
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 3>good learning experience. I've only wanted to throw my laptop

38
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 3>at the wall twice, which is a marked improvement from

39
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 3>last time, where I said something in chat GPT came

40
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>back with okay, I understand, while I might be in AI,

41
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 3>remember Matt, words can hurt.

42
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>No, it didn't, did it? Really?

43
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 3>I wiped out the entirety of my AI goodwill in

44
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 3>a five minute, rage fueled type fest. And at that

45
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 3>point my wife was like, maybe we should try this

46
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 3>a different way.

47
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>You're going to be the first to go when the

48
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>II takes over. Yeah, that's fine.

49
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to stick around for the terminator saga.

50
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 3>Just take me out in the front.

51
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's kind of interesting because we think about this.

52
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>There was a study not long ago about parents that

53
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 1>are trying to teach their kids to be more polite

54
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to AI say please, say thank you, and all of that,

55
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 1>and they're working on that to get their kids to be,

56
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, more respectful. And you know, I had people

57
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I've talked to you who said, oh, yeah, my AI

58
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>is a buddy. They think it's their buddy. They feel

59
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like they're having a conversation with it, and it's you know, saying, hey,

60
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you're doing a great job. I love what you're doing.

61
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 1>And they've told me that, yeah, if you kind of

62
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 1>feel like my AI is my buddy.

63
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 3>Which is funny because Sam Altman, founder of Open AI,

64
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 3>he was in an interview i want to say, like

65
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 3>a month or two ago and he actually told people

66
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 3>stop saying please and thank you to the AI. It

67
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 3>cat like pleases and thank yous are costing millions of

68
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 3>dollars every single time.

69
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>It is an AI.

70
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 3>You do not need to be polite to it, my

71
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 3>brother in technology, have you watched any dystopian movie?

72
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Any of them? Ye yea.

73
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 3>I do not need my rumba becoming sentient and being like, hey,

74
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 3>you remember that time you kicked me out of the way.

75
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I do, and thus that's why falling down those stairs. Yeah,

76
00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I've armed myself with little razor blades.

77
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>We actually named our room our room but Dobby because

78
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 3>you always get like the alerts, and when we named

79
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 3>it that you get the alerts.

80
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like Dobby has stuck on a cut and Dobby

81
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>has fallen down the stairs, and I'm like, Dobby's an idiot.

82
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 1>We've seen AI develop and I know we've talked about Groc,

83
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>which Justin has been using, and I don't know if

84
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you're still liking it. A lot can change in a month.

85
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>In one month, you could go from loving and AI

86
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 1>loving a software and then you can hate it, Like

87
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the month later, are you still using GROC? I still

88
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>love it? You know, I mean I bounce back and

89
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>forth between other ones chat GPT and you know, actually

90
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 1>it's funny that you mentioned you know how you love

91
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>it one day and don't. Yeah, you know, chat Gypt.

92
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>For me, it feels like chatchy BT got rolled back

93
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>uh a previous a much much much earlier previous iteration

94
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>because it's does not give it anywhere near the answers

95
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it used to. And that's I mean, that's saying a lot.

96
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, open Ai is supposedly the biggest one out there,

97
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 1>but you know when I go to when I go

98
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>to GROC and I ask it something, and I love

99
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>the fact that GROC does not have any limits on

100
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>its knowledge base right Like I could literally just say

101
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>what's the temperature in Tokyo right now? And it will

102
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 1>tell me the temperature in Tokyo, like it's real time data. Yeah,

103
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, whereas chat ubt's like, well, you know, Mike

104
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>cut off is September of twenty twenty four, Does it

105
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 1>really do that? I haven't had to do that to

106
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>me yet, you know, It's it's ridiculous. And then even

107
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>if you ask it something like what historical battle took

108
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>place in World War two at this place, I don't

109
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 1>know the ms you do that and I can't give

110
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>you that, amswer. What would you consider when it comes

111
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to not being very knowledgeable to being probably one of

112
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the lowest when it comes to AI, because I mean

113
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Amazon is now pushing this smarter Alexa so rufus. Yeah

114
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>if you if you want to use that, you can't.

115
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>As far as shopping has been terrible, I mean, Amazon

116
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>is way too late to the party. First off, they're

117
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 1>they're they're their AI is gonna is gonna Apple Intelligence.

118
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Apple Intelligence is gonna fail. It's gonna ruin Apple. I mean,

119
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 1>thank god, finally something's gonna ruin And this is this

120
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 1>is what just a few days ahead of their their

121
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Worldwide Developer conference. That's gonna be their big thing, you know. Yeah,

122
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 1>of course it has been their big thing for the

123
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>past four years.

124
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>They've done nothing. They've done nothing with it. Yes, And

125
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>it was like hey, appletal just came out. It was

126
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 2>they said, Hey, it's gonna be They touted it like

127
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be just like Chat, GPT, it's gonna be

128
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.399
<v Speaker 2>able to do all these these They rolled it out

129
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 2>with ioas eighteen. It stunk. I tried it for like

130
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>a day and then immediately turned it down. It's just off.

131
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just not even on my phone anymore.

132
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean Microsoft co pilot sucks. Uh, Meta, I avoid

133
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>co Pilot. I don't know why. I just want to

134
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 1>avoid it.

135
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Everybody they keep trying, they keep trying to jam it

136
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>down your throat though, Yeah, just like just try to

137
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>jam it in.

138
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 1>I never thought of that. It's just you're right, it's

139
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 1>just like Clippy. Remember when you tried to use Office,

140
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Clippy was always there, And that's kind of like what

141
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>looks like you're trying to make an Excel spreadsheet? Would

142
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 1>you like help no.

143
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Or get away? Or like the puppy in Windows XP.

144
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 1>I remember that one. There was a down. Look, we've

145
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>got three major players in the A industry, all right,

146
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>We've got chatch BT open Ai, we got x Aies Grock,

147
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 1>and we got uh the Claude Okay the company that

148
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>may makes Claude. Isn't it anthropic? Yeah yeah, drop yeah yeah.

149
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Those are the three major ones. Everybody else, even the

150
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>major tech players Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, they're all they're

151
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>all losing like big time.

152
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>But here's what.

153
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Here's what. Here's an example of something that I did

154
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 1>with Grock. I I recently went to it and I

155
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 1>asked it as quite now, I'm not going to get

156
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>into the details. It's more of a personal situation. But

157
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 1>I asked it a question about my cat, Oh okay,

158
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and it referenced something and says, well, based on what

159
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 1>you told me about seven months ago, it sounds like

160
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>your cat might have you know, this issue or whatever. Wow,

161
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and it it's it's learning from me and it knows

162
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>my previous conversations with it, whereas open ai you're like, hey,

163
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>remember I talked to you on my cat? It has

164
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>blah blah and it's like, wait, what cat? I don't

165
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>understand what are you talking about? Like x Xai's grock

166
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is by far my favorite and it is the best

167
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>AI out there.

168
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Open Ai just recently made a change exactly regarding what

169
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 3>Justin is talking about. The memories were tied to each

170
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 3>individual thread, so if you wanted to like have a project,

171
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 3>you had to put everything in that one project for

172
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 3>its reference.

173
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>It all there. They just made memories global to your account.

174
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, so now it will start remembering everything. The

175
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 3>one I've got beef with is Gemini Google Google gems.

176
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I forgot about Gemini.

177
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I used to love the Google Assistant on

178
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 3>my phone. I still was, and I got forced over

179
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 3>to Gemini and the other day I was like, hey,

180
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 3>set a one hour timer. It used to be all

181
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 3>I had to do all my phone was you know,

182
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 3>say the trigger phrase, which I'm not because it's right

183
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 3>here and now yell at me. And I was like, hey,

184
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.759
<v Speaker 3>so one set a one hour timer. Comes back a

185
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 3>few seconds later.

186
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 1>I found a website where you can set timers to

187
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>remind you, no, you tard, You've got it in the system.

188
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Just I just and it does it.

189
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 3>And then I thought it was like maybe it was

190
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 3>a goof, And I was like, okay, set a one

191
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 3>hour timer. And it was like again, I found a

192
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.879
<v Speaker 3>great website. And I was like, I am too angry today.

193
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 1>There's a setting pulling this. There's a setting in your

194
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>phone that you need to turn off that tells it

195
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 1>to search Gemini or search the web. First. Yeah, when

196
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you give it a command Rufus, it gets go back

197
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.279
<v Speaker 1>to Rufus Rufus. And I decided to give it a

198
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>shot because been purchasing stuff to use for different projects

199
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I was doing, and I would ask rufus and every

200
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>answer was like it knew nothing. It gave me no information,

201
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, okay, well it's maybe I'm trying to

202
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>help it's learning, But it didn't seem like it was

203
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>learning at all. So yeah, no, I'm not a fan

204
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of rufus. Like you said, Amazon is late to the

205
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>game on this one. Do we really need it? I mean,

206
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting sick of the point. Just recently, Lee van Cleef,

207
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>do you guys remember Lee van Cleeff. Lee van Cleef

208
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.679
<v Speaker 1>was an actor. He worked with Clint Eastwood, who's still

209
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 1>with us. It just recently celebrated and he had that

210
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>this real you know, tough looking faces something that good. Yeah,

211
00:10:58.519 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know which one he was.

212
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 2>He died three years after I was born.

213
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, somebody posted a photo of him, so Sean probably

214
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 1>does not remember him. Sean, you need to watch some

215
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Good the Bad, the Italian Westerns. They called

216
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>him spaghetti Westerns, which were great. But somebody posted a

217
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>photo of him the other day on Facebook celebrating his

218
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and first birthday, holding a birthday cake. I thought, damn,

219
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and then I realized, wait a minute, wait a minute,

220
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 1>and people started saying it he died back like you

221
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 1>said Sean, you know in eight December sixteenth, Get there,

222
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I was getting the people are posting a photo of

223
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>him supposedly at one hundred and one. The photo looks

224
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.559
<v Speaker 1>somewhat realistic, but it still has that uncanny valley. But

225
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the fact is people will just look at it and assume, oh, yeah,

226
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 1>that's real. People need to stop using AI for everything now.

227
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Not only that, but Matt mentioned Gemini. Gemini has now

228
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>has got this new Viva vo Vo three or Vivo

229
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>three or whatever it is. It's the video generation one.

230
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Did you see the post on Reddit about how churches

231
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.720
<v Speaker 1>are now using the video stuff to appeal to a

232
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 1>younger audience, And it's literally a I uh a video

233
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of like, for instance, one example Moses splitting the seas

234
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's walking around doing a selfie and he's like no, yeah, no,

235
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 1>are you kidding me? Right here? Oh man, we're acrossing

236
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the desert right now. And then there's another one with

237
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Jesus on the cross. He's like, yo, your gen he

238
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>is about to be b r b oh or like

239
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>David is like, yeah, it's your boy, David. Right here.

240
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to go fight Goliath. Yeah, I'm gonna get

241
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 1>this guy. And they're using AI video to do this

242
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to hope to reach a younger audience. Yeah, but I

243
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>mean it's telling these you know, these biblical stories if

244
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>you will. But it's that's just one example of it.

245
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>There's there's so many of these videos out there that

246
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 1>are being generated by AI and people are thinking this

247
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is yeah and it's not real. But the thing is

248
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>is it's not just a video. The characters in the

249
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 1>video are speaking. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, you can't tell

250
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the difference. And that's a I generate. It's not a

251
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 1>voice actor. It's it's all everything. Everything is generated by

252
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>a you know. And now I've seen I've seen some

253
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.919
<v Speaker 1>of the videos that have been posted that are feel

254
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 1>good videos with Jesus and kids and pets, and those

255
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.159
<v Speaker 1>are like, Okay, I understand.

256
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>It is a I.

257
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>But when they're trying to do this whole like they're

258
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.519
<v Speaker 1>today talking in today's terms or listening to today's music, Like,

259
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 1>come on, guys, you're pushing it a little too far. Yeah,

260
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>this this you gotta go out and read it and

261
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 1>look up, like, uh, I'll have to see if I

262
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 1>can find it. But like church, AI church, whatever, Yeah,

263
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>it's it's crazy. I saw it earlier on Reddit and

264
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:49.519
<v Speaker 1>I was like, watch it and I was like, Wow,

265
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>this is what we're getting into now. Yeah, oh boy,

266
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 1>AI is so the worst. I think we all agree

267
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 1>it's probably gonna be. Is it gonna be Apple? Is

268
00:13:58.840 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that gonna be the worst one?

269
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you think?

270
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Or is it the Alexa? You know?

271
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 3>I think Rufus and Apple Intelligence are currently they're both

272
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 3>currently racing to mediocrity. I mean honestly they Apple Intelligence

273
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 3>is so behind the curve on it, and Rufus is

274
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.360
<v Speaker 3>kind of the same way, like they rested on their laurels.

275
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>They were like, we did Alexa. We did it first, dude.

276
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Apple is literally going to do what Apple does. They're

277
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna wait for the biggest one to come out. They're

278
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna copy it and they're gonna add emojis to it

279
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 1>and say, look at what we did, we made it

280
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>so much better. iOS twenty six for iPhone they say

281
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 1>next week, which is weird because I thought I just

282
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>updated to eighteen point five is what I have online.

283
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>So they're doing it now based on the year, kind

284
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.879
<v Speaker 1>of like Microsoft did with you know, Windows ninety five,

285
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Windows ninety eight. They're now jumping in. Honestly, I think

286
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 1>it's just a way because there's just like people are

287
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna sit there and go, wait, iOS eighteen means it

288
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>came out in eighteen eighteen eighty. Yeah. Well, I mean

289
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that's last.

290
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Way into the Denopers conference to an idea of maybe

291
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 2>you can hint at why they're changing the name structure.

292
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be doing it on Monday, this coming Monday

293
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>for those that are tuning in on this Saturday. Uh.

294
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And they say there and they do this every year

295
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>every time they put out an update. They're saying it's

296
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the biggest ever software rebranding. One thing they're promising no

297
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>longer battery life gonna be one of the key features,

298
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.360
<v Speaker 1>which I don't know. Also, they're just not going to

299
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>lock down the batteries anymore.

300
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Right on the biggest change ever since last year. If

301
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.159
<v Speaker 3>they say it every single.

302
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait. I can't wait till Apple just fails

303
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>as a company. I just don't want to fail, No

304
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I do. They're just complete trash. Everything they do is true. Man,

305
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.879
<v Speaker 1>you're being harsh.

306
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. I dude, come on, you know

307
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.279
<v Speaker 2>me for how many years?

308
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I know? But I gotta say. I have an iPhone still,

309
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 1>it's not my main phone. I I went ahead and

310
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I went to Android after for you justin you were

311
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about it being so good, and I do like

312
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.639
<v Speaker 1>the experience. I miss some of the Apple features a bit.

313
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm still trying to figure out well Belkan and that

314
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>tracking device that they have will not work for the

315
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the Android device. There is another device that does work

316
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that I want to get my hands on. So I

317
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.399
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I've been happy with it. I've been a

318
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>long time user of that. But yeah, I don't want

319
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>them to fail. But it's like, come on, guys, step up.

320
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.279
<v Speaker 3>You know they they have not done anything since Steve

321
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Jobs died and they never will. No, I was it

322
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 3>was twofold Steve Jobs died, Johnny Ives left. Well, that

323
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:49.200
<v Speaker 3>was the final nail in the coffin right there. You

324
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.799
<v Speaker 3>heard about that, right, Sean.

325
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just riding along, man.

326
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Sean's and Apple user too, So.

327
00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.679
<v Speaker 2>I'll be agnostic tech user, like I could go one way,

328
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.279
<v Speaker 2>or they're like, I'm not beholden to Apple.

329
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 1>There's there's there's listeners out there who do not know

330
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>who Johnny Ives is. Matt, can you please give us

331
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.359
<v Speaker 1>a thirty second rundown on who Johnny Ives is, right,

332
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 1>where he went, and why this is a big deal

333
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:13.799
<v Speaker 1>for Apple.

334
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Johnny Ives and his glorious British accent was so there

335
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 3>are Steve Jobs was the original brains of Steve Wozniak

336
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.759
<v Speaker 3>behind Apple. The point where Apple, for lack of a

337
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 3>better term, got sexy, Like when the devices had really

338
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.039
<v Speaker 3>started having these really clean, flowing lines and it wasn't like.

339
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it in fifty different colors, that's gonna.

340
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Appeal to people.

341
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why I want to kermit with that.

342
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:51.200
<v Speaker 3>But when they started moving like aluminum and clean lines

343
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 3>and the design became really important, that was all Johnny Ives.

344
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:57.559
<v Speaker 1>That was all him.

345
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 3>He was like, we have the function, we are missing

346
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 3>the form, and we need to bring the form into play.

347
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.960
<v Speaker 3>And their numbers just skyrocketed and they are still writing

348
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 3>the majority of his design styles, like the MacBook Air,

349
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:17.160
<v Speaker 3>the current MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, like that when you

350
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.359
<v Speaker 3>close the lid and the lines flow around so it

351
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.279
<v Speaker 3>still looks like a unified piece of metal. That was

352
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Johnny Ives. It was all him, and when he left,

353
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 3>that is the that is the Di Vinci of technological

354
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:40.359
<v Speaker 3>form design leaving the company and it's just it. It

355
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.440
<v Speaker 3>hasn't been the same sense.

356
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't they keep up with his you know, his designs.

357
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Why did they feel they had to abandon it?

358
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, marketing departments exist for a reason. Yeah, and you'll

359
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.599
<v Speaker 3>usually get pressure of like, ah, no, we need to.

360
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Change something like even though we're changing the guts to

361
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.559
<v Speaker 1>the standard user, it doesn't look any different, so they

362
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know that it's different.

363
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.480
<v Speaker 2>So he has left.

364
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't justin do you remember where he went? I'm

365
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>having a brain far open ai really again? He went

366
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>open ai to do their hardware. Uh now open ai

367
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.640
<v Speaker 1>is going to get into hardware, which Apple's like shaking

368
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>in their boots.

369
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna I'm gonna make a prediction right now in

370
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:24.720
<v Speaker 3>terms of that where you're talking about someone's they're gonna

371
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.440
<v Speaker 3>buy someone.

372
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I have a device that I did not leave in

373
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>this room you're looking for it.

374
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 3>There is a company called Rabbit, and they released a

375
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.359
<v Speaker 3>device at CEES a couple of years ago, the r one,

376
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.960
<v Speaker 3>And it's like a little bit bigger than a DECA

377
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 3>cards and it has an AI assistant inside of it. Now,

378
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.039
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people were like, why don't you do

379
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 3>this as an app? And they were like, well, we

380
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 3>didn't want to do an app, like we wanted this

381
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 3>to be where you can just have your AI buddy

382
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.839
<v Speaker 3>in the palm of your hand. It's got a tiny

383
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.839
<v Speaker 3>little touchscreen, a scroll wheel, a click button, and a

384
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 3>camera that is it for input. And they instead of

385
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 3>doing a large language model, rabbit os runs off the

386
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:13.160
<v Speaker 3>large action model, so it learns instead of like how

387
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.640
<v Speaker 3>you're phrasing things, it learns how you do things, how

388
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:20.920
<v Speaker 3>you want tasks to be completed. And they have a

389
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 3>website that you can log into the rabbit Hole. You

390
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.359
<v Speaker 3>can see where they really leaned into the branding here.

391
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 3>And the rabbit Hole is kind of like the repository

392
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.119
<v Speaker 3>of your memories and things that you've asked and you

393
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.319
<v Speaker 3>can access it on your computer. And they recently release

394
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.880
<v Speaker 3>the rabbit intern and the rabbit intern is an AI

395
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 3>assisting tool where it can be like, hey, I want

396
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 3>to code a website. There are other tools. Replet is

397
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:47.680
<v Speaker 3>one that comes to mind where you can be like,

398
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.720
<v Speaker 3>I want this project and it will build front and

399
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 3>back end the whole thing for you and then be like,

400
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 3>go make your tweaks and you can publish it. I

401
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 3>would bet solid money that at some point, when Rabbit

402
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 3>fully starts to get off the ground, Apple will swoop.

403
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.839
<v Speaker 1>In and buy them. Wow. Yeah, we've seen that happen

404
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.359
<v Speaker 1>before too. We've seen that. Siri was originally an app.

405
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember downloading it and being like, oh, this is dope.

406
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.079
<v Speaker 1>And it was. It was really ahead of its time.

407
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>And then Apple bought it and it went to crap.

408
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Apple bought it and it was neutered within two months

409
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 3>because it disappeared off my phone. They were like, due

410
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 3>to contractual obligations, we can no longer offer this app.

411
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.599
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, all right, who bought it?

412
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 1>And then boom, Apple's like introducing Siri.

413
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you didn't make anything. Once again, this is

414
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.480
<v Speaker 3>what Apple does. You're like the Yankees. You didn't nurture talent,

415
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.319
<v Speaker 3>you just bought it. Well, I'm sorry, I think you

416
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:46.119
<v Speaker 3>made the Dodgers.

417
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean the Yankees.

418
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.960
<v Speaker 3>I definitely meant the Yankees. The Dodgers actually puts money

419
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 3>into their farm team. The Yankees are like, yeah, you're

420
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.079
<v Speaker 3>gonna absolutely play for us.

421
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hey, how much did that guy want? Yeah? I

422
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:04.599
<v Speaker 1>just give it to him, it's fine, perfect, all right,

423
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:06.519
<v Speaker 1>we got to take a break. We come back. I

424
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>want to find out Sean was involved in a project.

425
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I know that you spent you know, part of the

426
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Memorial Day doing a little cruising. Right. You send me

427
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a picture of the big RV. But now you're what

428
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you're putting solar panels on it?

429
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, so it came with solar when he bought it, right,

430
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.160
<v Speaker 2>it came with a two hundred watt solar panel on

431
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the roof, wired into a solar controller wired into the battery.

432
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Right.

433
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:37.359
<v Speaker 2>But it was designed for lead acid or a GM right, Right,

434
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 2>So there's a new battery chemistry called lithium myron phosphate.

435
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Right.

436
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Which is the biggest benefit is the weight difference. The

437
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 2>same capacity from a lead acid battery that weighs sixty

438
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 2>to seventy pounds you get in a thirty to forty

439
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:02.680
<v Speaker 2>pound battery. Now, weight savings alone is is incredible. The

440
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 2>density is incredible. I bought a one hundred amp hour

441
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>battery compared in the same size as to a lead

442
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 2>acid battery. I get about another day's worth of use

443
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:17.440
<v Speaker 2>out of it with before I have to charge it

444
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.440
<v Speaker 2>or before I have to run the generator, but I

445
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.440
<v Speaker 2>had to basically rewire my camper.

446
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we gotta take a break. We want you

447
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to tell us the rest of that when we come

448
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:31.440
<v Speaker 1>back with tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm sean

449
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:34.599
<v Speaker 1>to Weird, I'm Matt Jones, and I'm Justin. Let me

450
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:37.480
<v Speaker 1>find us on the web at tech talk radio dot com.

451
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back now back to tech talk Radio.

452
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:43.599
<v Speaker 2>So before the break, we were talking a little bit

453
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 2>about what I was doing for a camper. So I

454
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:49.720
<v Speaker 2>have a forest reverse no boundary nineteen point three. That's

455
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker 2>just a toe bad camper. It's a little bit more

456
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:58.400
<v Speaker 2>of the off grid style. Came with two hundred watts

457
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:03.599
<v Speaker 2>of Ghostlar Power, which is another solar company brand, and

458
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 2>I had put in a deep cycle a g M

459
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>battery like what would what would.

460
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Let me answer what that solar that came with it

461
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:15.240
<v Speaker 1>that power like it would just charge them.

462
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 2>It would keep the battery topped off. So that would

463
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 2>power the fridge in my camper's twelve vault. It would

464
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:23.640
<v Speaker 2>power my twelve volt to a c inverter. It would

465
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.119
<v Speaker 2>power off the twelve volt outlets, you know, the fridge,

466
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 2>the reefer, well, the fridge, the refer the water heater,

467
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.400
<v Speaker 2>the water pump, et cetera. So basically keeping the everything

468
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I need in the camper to be boon dock.

469
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:47.799
<v Speaker 1>So you would keep your reefer in the fridge. Yes, sorry, moments.

470
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Not legal in India. By the way, they called the

471
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:58.440
<v Speaker 2>refer it's just what yea industry calls refrigerators. But the

472
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 2>only the version of the fridge in that camper is

473
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:08.119
<v Speaker 2>total volt. There's no propane or it's just propane. It's

474
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 2>just twelve volt, no propane options. So we were running

475
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 2>into an issue where if we were running the generator

476
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:14.640
<v Speaker 2>and we had the fridge on and we were charging

477
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 2>our devices, by the time it was get to four

478
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 2>or five six in the morning before the sun came

479
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>back up, we were running low. And it was the

480
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.039
<v Speaker 2>lead acid battery or the AGM battery we had was

481
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 2>getting too low on voltage and it was causing some issues.

482
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:32.000
<v Speaker 2>So we upgraded to the lithium iron phosphate, which supplies

483
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.599
<v Speaker 2>the same voltage no matter you know, at the same

484
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:36.559
<v Speaker 2>you know for the most amount of time that it's charged.

485
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.000
<v Speaker 2>But the solar controller I had and the AC to

486
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.720
<v Speaker 2>d C converter did not support the proper charging voltage

487
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.400
<v Speaker 2>for lithium iron phosphate batteries because it requires a higher

488
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 2>charging voltage to maintain its lifespan and stuff like that.

489
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:52.920
<v Speaker 2>So I had to buy a new solar controller, I

490
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.240
<v Speaker 2>had to buy a new AC to DC converter and

491
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 2>basically rewire the entire internals of my camper. Oh man,

492
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I did that Wednesday and Thursday night before we left

493
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>on Friday for our hit patrol.

494
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Were you a little worried that maybe it wasn't good work? Right?

495
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I was waiting for a specific piece to come in,

496
00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:12.039
<v Speaker 2>uh And it didn't get there until until Wednesday night,

497
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 2>and then I got got to work, wired it in,

498
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 2>tested some stuff, made sure it ran okay, no fires,

499
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>no nothing, everything like that. But so now I have

500
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>four hundred watts of solar on the roof charging this battery.

501
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh in, So there impair of two two hundred wat

502
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:34.640
<v Speaker 2>panels in parallel. It's pushing about twenty eight watts at

503
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:39.839
<v Speaker 2>full power. So it's it's it's charging it nicely and

504
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>now we can get two to three days almost cool

505
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 2>without having to without having at full charge using being

506
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 2>conservative with our with our power usage, not you know,

507
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 2>running the water pump all the time or you know

508
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.319
<v Speaker 2>those kind of things.

509
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But well, it's gotta be better to not worry about

510
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.880
<v Speaker 1>being somewhere and suddenly just not having the power this way.

511
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but also while you're driving, Yeah, it's not tied

512
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.160
<v Speaker 2>into my truck, so it's not pulling twelve volts from

513
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 2>my truck. It's just using the sun or that you know,

514
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 2>to charge. So if you're in an occluded place like

515
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.599
<v Speaker 2>a campground, it has a lot of trees and stuff,

516
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:17.319
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna get nominal draw, right, But while you're driving,

517
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 2>or if you're just boon docking and you don't have

518
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.160
<v Speaker 2>trees or anything about it, you're gonna be just fine.

519
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.799
<v Speaker 2>So my goal is to add another one hundred amp

520
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:27.960
<v Speaker 2>hour battery and put that in peril also, so I

521
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:30.079
<v Speaker 2>have two hundred a half hours of storage total, which

522
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.039
<v Speaker 2>would probably get me about three to four days total

523
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.279
<v Speaker 2>with minimal with minimal draw. I know that my uncle

524
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 2>has a four hundred amp hour and he gets five

525
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:43.759
<v Speaker 2>to six days with minimal draw. And so yeah, it's

526
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 2>just nice because I can also take that off. He's

527
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:46.920
<v Speaker 2>it at home?

528
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Does you does it add a lot of load though

529
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to the trailer itself.

530
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 2>No, Like I said, the actually reducing weight based off

531
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the battery weight, because the lead acid battery was almost

532
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 2>sixty pounds of this shay, and these batteries are much

533
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:03.640
<v Speaker 2>lower lighter, So if I had a second battery, I'd

534
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 2>probably be back up to where I was with just

535
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the one battery.

536
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice. How often are you guys going camping? Every year?

537
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:12.920
<v Speaker 2>We go about six or seven times a year?

538
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Nice?

539
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Sense, we've already gone. We've already gone four this year.

540
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow. Yeah, and we've got another one coming out

541
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 2>this week, and then we're going for the fourth July,

542
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:24.839
<v Speaker 2>and then we're going for We're going like we're probably

543
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna go eight to eight or nine times. This year.

544
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:31.160
<v Speaker 3>We did a Memorial Day but it got cut short,

545
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:33.240
<v Speaker 3>and then we're going for fourth of July.

546
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:34.880
<v Speaker 1>For Lee's birthday.

547
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:39.480
<v Speaker 3>We went up to Wellington Lake and we had we

548
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:42.759
<v Speaker 3>were supposed to be there Monday, sorry, Friday through Monday

549
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 3>and Saturday. I was just getting a weird feeling and

550
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.759
<v Speaker 3>got like the ghost of one bar of reception just

551
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.359
<v Speaker 3>enough to check the weather and it was like, hey,

552
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.759
<v Speaker 3>just letting you know, in about three hours it's going

553
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:57.880
<v Speaker 3>to start thunderstorming. And then the rest of the time

554
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 3>we were there, here's what the weather was going to be, thunderstorm, rainstorm, snowstorm, thunderstorm, rainstorm, thunderstorm.

555
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:09.559
<v Speaker 3>I was like, alternatively, Wow, it's just let's just leave

556
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.240
<v Speaker 3>because the last like getting out of there is a

557
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 3>super tight dirt switchback mountain road.

558
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:19.720
<v Speaker 1>That just there's on the side is just gravity. I

559
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, ideally, I don't want to be here when

560
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that's wet. Yeah. No, are you guys like this the

561
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.319
<v Speaker 1>road warrior portion of this, How would I, as somebody

562
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:31.960
<v Speaker 1>who has a wife that says she never wants to

563
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.839
<v Speaker 1>go camping, she's she likes to stay in a hotel,

564
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that kind of thing, how would I convince her to

565
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 1>try and do something like this? Is it memver just

566
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>renting one or what.

567
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 3>So this is something that my wife and I have

568
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:48.079
<v Speaker 3>been discussing. When we were younger, we were out doorsy.

569
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Now we are outside zy, and there is a difference

570
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.079
<v Speaker 3>like now doorsy is like I don't mind the ten

571
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't mind you know, sleeping the sleeping bag, Like

572
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.559
<v Speaker 3>if it gets cold, we'll deal with it, like we're

573
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.920
<v Speaker 3>gonna run. No, what you need to look up is

574
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 3>called glamping. G L A M P I N G

575
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 3>all right, and that is for glorious camping. And the

576
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 3>best one that I've seen was some more here in Colorado,

577
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.920
<v Speaker 3>and instead of like renting a camp site, you rented

578
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.720
<v Speaker 3>a camp site that had a fully furnished, heated and

579
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.880
<v Speaker 3>cooled yurt.

580
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.559
<v Speaker 1>It had a shower, it had a full queen size

581
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 1>bed in there like a yurt is. Uh. It was

582
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.880
<v Speaker 1>what I think the Mongolians used for theirs, and it

583
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:41.519
<v Speaker 1>was just right. Yeah, technically, thank you. I am closer

584
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to gen X than gen Z. I'm an elder millennial.

585
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Bite me, excuse me, I'm older than you, and I'm

586
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:51.119
<v Speaker 1>a millennial. I'm older than all of you.

587
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:55.799
<v Speaker 3>But no, seriously, it's glamping is kind of a new

588
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:58.079
<v Speaker 3>thing where like, you you get a site that's got

589
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:00.599
<v Speaker 3>like this really nice, fully furnished place for you to stay.

590
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:02.839
<v Speaker 3>It's got all the amenities. But then like there will

591
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:05.359
<v Speaker 3>be a lake nearby, there's camping trails, but when you're

592
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 3>done for the day, you can go shower, you can

593
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:10.519
<v Speaker 3>You've got like a full kitchen in some of these,

594
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:14.240
<v Speaker 3>So I know the hip camp app has a lot

595
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:16.119
<v Speaker 3>of those, and that's one that we have.

596
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:18.559
<v Speaker 1>We have done before. I think that would be fun

597
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.599
<v Speaker 1>to try, at least if you want something.

598
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 2>A little less glampy than that, you can travel and

599
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 2>do the Kiawa cabins around the country. Oh yeah, we

600
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:29.720
<v Speaker 2>did those a lot growing up. When we travel out west,

601
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:32.240
<v Speaker 2>we would travel, we would camp, but we would stay.

602
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.119
<v Speaker 2>If we needed to stay for one night, just pull in.

603
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.079
<v Speaker 2>It's a cabin, it's got a bathroom, a shower, you know,

604
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it so kas all over the country,

605
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 2>and the CEO of KAS and nordame grad So that's

606
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 2>perfec Yeah.

607
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I think there's some kiowas here, even here in Arizona

608
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:49.039
<v Speaker 1>that have been very popular on your Grand Canyon, that

609
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing.

610
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>But every national park, most of the national parks, not

611
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.440
<v Speaker 2>all of them, have these glamping options where you can

612
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:02.759
<v Speaker 2>pay and have these nice amenities relatively close inconvenient for

613
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:04.440
<v Speaker 2>you to still experience the park.

614
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Right.

615
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 3>There's also things like Cruise America where you can rent

616
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 3>an RV for a time.

617
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>That's another one.

618
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but there's you gotta you gotta be careful with

619
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>those because they it's just like you haul. Anybody can

620
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.880
<v Speaker 2>rent one and you get a lot of you get

621
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of dumb dumbs that don't know how tall

622
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.400
<v Speaker 2>an RV is.

623
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, we've seen that big. Not even that it's

624
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 1>it's it's also like a lot like air and BnB.

625
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I've heard where they'll they'll you get hit with one

626
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 1>fee and even though you take meticulous care of it,

627
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 1>you turn it back, They're like, we're gonna charge you

628
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a five hundred dollars cleaning fee. WHOA, yeah, that's not good,

629
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:41.279
<v Speaker 1>that's not excuse excuse me, sir. We found one speck

630
00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>of sand inside this vehicle. Found we found a dog hair,

631
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:48.559
<v Speaker 1>one single dog hair. It's gonna be five hundred dollars

632
00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to up. Why do you become the leader of the

633
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:56.920
<v Speaker 1>island of misfit toys? They're matt when you have authority? Uh,

634
00:32:57.920 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

635
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 3>Because it's funny, all right, it's it's gonna be interesting

636
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.119
<v Speaker 3>the new job I got. I'm eventually gonna have four

637
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.440
<v Speaker 3>direct reports and I'm actually gonna have authority, and I'm

638
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:09.160
<v Speaker 3>not used to that.

639
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:10.839
<v Speaker 1>You've got to do it. You've got to do your

640
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.079
<v Speaker 1>reports in those voices though that's perfect me. You didn't

641
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.839
<v Speaker 1>finish the cover sheet on your TPS report. If you

642
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.839
<v Speaker 1>could just come in on Saturday. That'd be great. Oh

643
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>my god, did you guys see the news Stephen Root,

644
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the guy who played Belton on Office Space that we're

645
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, talking about, Stephen Root is now going to

646
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:34.599
<v Speaker 1>be playing the father to the character Stephen Tudas plays

647
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>on Resident Alien on Sci Fi, which comes back for

648
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a brand new season this week. As a matter of fact,

649
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>such a good show. I love the show. If you've

650
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 1>missed it Netflix, you can see the previous seasons. But

651
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Root will be playing his dad, the Alien's dad.

652
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's gonna be good. All right, here's a

653
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:54.480
<v Speaker 1>question we've got to listen to. Question. We got a

654
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:56.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of them for today, but I wanted to share

655
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:59.759
<v Speaker 1>this one, at least from Jerry. He said it in

656
00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to high Andy. As you may know by now, I

657
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:05.759
<v Speaker 1>don't have my Windows ninety five and printer any longer.

658
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:08.679
<v Speaker 1>And you put an lol. I bought it from you

659
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and you set it up back in the mid nineties. Yes,

660
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it did your problem, Mandy, he said. So I have

661
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a question to ask, what is the real deal that

662
00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:21.239
<v Speaker 1>would work best for my two monitors and two PCs.

663
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.519
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to only use one keyboard in one mouse.

664
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I've looked on Amazon and Dell and get no help.

665
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.039
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be cheap and easiest to use. So

666
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.119
<v Speaker 1>he has two PCs. He wants to use, one keyboard,

667
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 1>one mouse, AKVM switch.

668
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.559
<v Speaker 2>They still make those house and keyboard without borders.

669
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Mouse That software, isn't it what it is? Yeah? Mouse

670
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and keyboard. Have you ever heard of that? Mouse and

671
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>keyboard without borders. I've not heard of that. Yeah, it's

672
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 1>like a software you put on there.

673
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:55.639
<v Speaker 3>Also, there's also a Synergy is another app that does

674
00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:00.119
<v Speaker 3>something similar. I had a client use that once they

675
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:03.559
<v Speaker 3>had their design PC and then their standard work PC,

676
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:06.079
<v Speaker 3>and he would just one mouse and keyboard, drag it

677
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:07.800
<v Speaker 3>all the way across, and you just hop over to

678
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.679
<v Speaker 3>the other side.

679
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:11.760
<v Speaker 1>You know. Before we continue this conversation, I just want

680
00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:14.199
<v Speaker 1>to say this is funny because I sound like I

681
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:17.119
<v Speaker 1>sound like the old guy here, right. I mentioned KVM.

682
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Andy immediately says they still make those, and then Shaun's like,

683
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>mouse and keyboard without borders, and then Matt's like, oh yeah,

684
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:25.719
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah blah something else.

685
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:27.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, I guess.

686
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm the old guy here. Yeah, I'm wondering though, you know,

687
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.880
<v Speaker 1>it's harder because this would have to be a wired

688
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:36.039
<v Speaker 1>keyboard and wired mouse to work with a KVM, wouldn't

689
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:37.079
<v Speaker 1>it or do they do?

690
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:38.039
<v Speaker 3>No?

691
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.320
<v Speaker 2>You so you so the the mouse without borders is

692
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:46.679
<v Speaker 2>a software running out of both machines.

693
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:47.760
<v Speaker 1>You have.

694
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:51.000
<v Speaker 2>You basically puck up both computers to the two screens

695
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:54.360
<v Speaker 2>you want to use, and then you activate the software

696
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:56.079
<v Speaker 2>and then as you cross over to the edge of

697
00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>your screen, it just hops over. The software takes over

698
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and it moves the keyboard and the mouse and put

699
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:01.920
<v Speaker 2>over to the other computer.

700
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:06.039
<v Speaker 1>That's it's kind of cool, but it's kind of weird

701
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 1>because I can see me doing it by accident all

702
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the time.

703
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Sure, that's the cheapest I think it's free even right,

704
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.440
<v Speaker 2>But if you want a physical one, then you'll have

705
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 2>to take the you know, you'll you'll get a box

706
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:22.920
<v Speaker 2>or little server, and then you have a console module

707
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.599
<v Speaker 2>and a target module. We have a big ks KVM

708
00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:27.440
<v Speaker 2>system to work, so I have a lot of experience

709
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.159
<v Speaker 2>with this. And then you take the physical outputs, the

710
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:33.760
<v Speaker 2>dv I or HTM or whatever into that box, and

711
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:35.639
<v Speaker 2>then the output of that box goes to your monitor.

712
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.480
<v Speaker 2>And then you either have a physical selection box where

713
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:40.519
<v Speaker 2>you press the button and it changes, or it's a

714
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:42.840
<v Speaker 2>software where you can get to the edge of your

715
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.559
<v Speaker 2>screen and automatically takes over and same thing. It just

716
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:47.960
<v Speaker 2>moves between the two screens. So you have options. Just

717
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:49.559
<v Speaker 2>how much you want to pay and how much asshle

718
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:49.960
<v Speaker 2>do you want to.

719
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Have, whether you go Jerry Mouse without borders. We're gonna

720
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:55.159
<v Speaker 1>take another quick break. We come back with more of

<v Speaker 1>Rick Derringer, rock and roll hu Chi Ku, and you're

744
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:11.400
<v Speaker 1>listening to tech Talk Radio. And with that we thank

745
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Rick Derringer for the memory and we take it back

746
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:18.559
<v Speaker 1>to tech Talk Radio. So earlier in this Justin with.

747
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Harry Potter and the audacity of this dude decided to

748
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 3>call me a Zeniel. I would like to point out

749
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:29.599
<v Speaker 3>that Zeniels are born between ninety three and ninety eight,

750
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.840
<v Speaker 3>and I was definitely walking the world at that point.

751
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:34.519
<v Speaker 2>And then we discussed this off the.

752
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Air for a minute and Sean was like, well, I

753
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.679
<v Speaker 1>was you know, I'm not a millennial. I was born

754
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:40.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the late eighties.

755
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Millennials are eighty one to ninety six. Jen X was

756
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:51.320
<v Speaker 3>sixty five to eighty and gen Z, which they're now

757
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 3>calling zoomers, which I think is hilarious. I had connotations

758
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:57.960
<v Speaker 3>of that is ninety seven to twenty twelve.

759
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I was born in eighty one, so neil.

760
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:00.840
<v Speaker 2>So what am I?

761
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I was sixty two before all sixty two? I have

762
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:10.559
<v Speaker 1>some bad news boomer boomer baby boomers are forty six

763
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to sixty four. Oh boy, they what was sixty four

764
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to the next one? Uh? Sixty five to eighty was

765
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:21.360
<v Speaker 1>gen X? Yeah, oh that's right, gen X, gen X.

766
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.000
<v Speaker 3>I would like to point out that, like that is

767
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:27.239
<v Speaker 3>the most gen X thing ever, the forgotten generation like

768
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:29.519
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned in those like wait, what was that other wing?

769
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:32.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, gen X existed, so like they just they

770
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:35.440
<v Speaker 3>just sit quietly in the corner growing up.

771
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I always consider myself to be gen X because I

772
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:42.559
<v Speaker 1>didn't know the exact cutoff. But honestly, dude, January twentieth

773
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:46.079
<v Speaker 1>of eighty one, Come on, dude, I'm literally on the

774
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:47.840
<v Speaker 1>cusp of being gen X.

775
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:52.280
<v Speaker 3>So there is actual actually inside of sociology, there is

776
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:57.480
<v Speaker 3>subgenerations that they call cusps, and if you are in

777
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:01.360
<v Speaker 3>that spot, then you are a cusp between gen X

778
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:03.519
<v Speaker 3>and millennial because you got a little bit of their

779
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:06.079
<v Speaker 3>experience and a little bit of the next gens experience.

780
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I do not fall close enough to be a

781
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.000
<v Speaker 1>cusp of asennial. I definitely do, thank you very much.

782
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.800
<v Speaker 3>You missed it by like a couple weeks, so you

783
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:18.320
<v Speaker 3>definitely fall in the cusp area.

784
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:20.239
<v Speaker 1>So if I was born two years later, I'd be

785
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a boomer Z. You'd be a boomer X boomer REX.

786
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:23.119
<v Speaker 1>All Right.

787
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:25.760
<v Speaker 3>The other thing that we kind of talked about during

788
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:29.480
<v Speaker 3>the break that Sean had brought up was the difference

789
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.199
<v Speaker 3>between like millennials and our Internet experience growing up, Like

790
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:39.519
<v Speaker 3>I still could mimic the dial up noise from that

791
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:42.880
<v Speaker 3>mode because it is so ingrained. For like that meant

792
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:45.559
<v Speaker 3>you were getting online, followed by if you did AOL.

793
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 1>You've got mail.

794
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:50.599
<v Speaker 3>Web one point zero was so wildly different, Like you

795
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:54.840
<v Speaker 3>had the handful of websites that everyone knew, and now

796
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:57.679
<v Speaker 3>you've got a different what are we at like web

797
00:40:57.800 --> 00:40:59.840
<v Speaker 3>three point zero at this point is what they're calling it.

798
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:05.119
<v Speaker 3>But everyone has this wildly different experience of Internet life,

799
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:08.239
<v Speaker 3>and part of it, you know, Sean was bringing up

800
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:10.480
<v Speaker 3>it might be regional, like you know, somebody in the

801
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Midwest is going to look up something different than someone

802
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 3>in New York than somebody in Texas. But the biggest

803
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:23.960
<v Speaker 3>change is the algorithm. The algorithms drive your web experience,

804
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:25.519
<v Speaker 3>whether you want it to or not.

805
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Say you lived in New York City versus living in

806
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Florida Miami, you're gonna be you have been probably fed

807
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>something different. Absolutely.

808
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:39.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean things that you look up locally, you know,

809
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:41.880
<v Speaker 3>inside the algorithm. If you go to you know, okay,

810
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:45.199
<v Speaker 3>I go to this website, there are tags associated with that,

811
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:48.360
<v Speaker 3>and it's like, okay, he went to website X, which

812
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.599
<v Speaker 3>has tags one, two, three. Then you went to website Z,

813
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.360
<v Speaker 3>which has tags two, three, and seven, and it starts

814
00:41:55.440 --> 00:42:00.199
<v Speaker 3>compiling and it's like, oh, okay, so Matt's interest did

815
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:04.880
<v Speaker 3>in one, seven, fourteen and the letter Q like those

816
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:06.880
<v Speaker 3>are what I'm going to start punching in his feeds.

817
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:11.239
<v Speaker 3>So you have the regional influence for what you're going

818
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:14.440
<v Speaker 3>to natively be looking for that feeds the algorithm. The

819
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 3>algorithm then drives the content that's sent to you. My

820
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:20.840
<v Speaker 3>wife and I, for example, we joke about the difference

821
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:24.199
<v Speaker 3>in our algorithms like she gets like lots of pottery,

822
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.239
<v Speaker 3>ceramic artists, like lots of more artistic stuff. Mine is

823
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:35.159
<v Speaker 3>like sixty percent Cory Geese, fifteen percent firearms, and the

824
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:38.960
<v Speaker 3>remainders like dad jokes for some reason, although it occasionally

825
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:42.440
<v Speaker 3>throws with the dad jokes, it occasionally throws one in

826
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:44.880
<v Speaker 3>there that I'm like, well, that one was wildly out

827
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:48.119
<v Speaker 3>of pocket. There's the one for the day. So it

828
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:53.559
<v Speaker 3>really is a completely different web experience between what we

829
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:56.039
<v Speaker 3>grew up with and what the kids are growing up.

830
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Well are you so, what's what was faster? Three hundred

831
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.880
<v Speaker 1>bod or twenty eight eight twenty eight eight and then

832
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.320
<v Speaker 1>fifty six k, then fifty six k, so you have

833
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.079
<v Speaker 1>well one fifty three hundred because twenty eight eight was

834
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:10.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight thousand eight, right, bod Yeah, but if you

835
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you asked them, but you might go, oh no, three

836
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:14.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred must have been bigger. It just sounded better. Those

837
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:19.039
<v Speaker 1>are the same people that thought a Wendy's third pounder

838
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:24.000
<v Speaker 1>was was worse than a than Donald's quarter pounder or whatever,

839
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:26.239
<v Speaker 1>what was it? What was it? Yeah, yeah, it's quarter pounder.

840
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:28.679
<v Speaker 1>You're right. They thought of Wendy's third pounder was less

841
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.159
<v Speaker 1>meat than a McDonald's quarter pound.

842
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I also thought the half pounder was less than the

843
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:35.239
<v Speaker 2>quarter pounder because the number was bigger.

844
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, So think about the Wendy's. Yeah.

845
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, people just think big number means big.

846
00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:43.599
<v Speaker 1>People are Okay, hold on, we can just sum this

847
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:48.280
<v Speaker 1>up as people are dumb. Yeah, and okay. The other question, now,

848
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:50.679
<v Speaker 1>because we brought it up, why did you got mail

849
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:53.559
<v Speaker 1>go away? There was something nice? No, not the movie

850
00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:56.440
<v Speaker 1>that the thing was all went away?

851
00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Why did they will go away? That should have been around.

852
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:02.559
<v Speaker 1>For mess managed? They were bought by Time Warner Interactive.

853
00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:05.760
<v Speaker 1>They were mismanaged due I worked for AOL. I saw

854
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:08.559
<v Speaker 1>the downfall of that company when I was working there.

855
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:12.159
<v Speaker 1>And then also not only just that, is because the

856
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.960
<v Speaker 1>dial up era was over. They tried launching a high

857
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:19.719
<v Speaker 1>speed internet service back in early two thousand and one

858
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:23.599
<v Speaker 1>or two thousand and two, and it failed miserably because

859
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:26.639
<v Speaker 1>they had to make contracts with the major ISPs that

860
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:30.639
<v Speaker 1>were already established, so you're basically tacking on on top

861
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:35.039
<v Speaker 1>of an additional ISP. Their whole business model was based

862
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.840
<v Speaker 1>on dial up, and once dial up went dead, nobody

863
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:38.719
<v Speaker 1>wanted them any to be.

864
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Fair, they kind of were the first software as a service.

865
00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh right, yes, yeah, so fun little fact. I

866
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 3>actually grew up about ten minutes away from AOL World headquarters,

867
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:54.199
<v Speaker 3>which was in Ashbourne, Virginia, and it was a giant,

868
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:57.039
<v Speaker 3>sprawling complex.

869
00:44:56.840 --> 00:45:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, with armed guards. I've been there still around. They

870
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:05.880
<v Speaker 1>have like one building from that entire complex, and Raytheon

871
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:08.039
<v Speaker 1>bought the rest of it. Oh you're a kid. So

872
00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the funny, funny story is when I worked for AOL,

873
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I did have a chance to go to that complex

874
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:16.800
<v Speaker 1>as an employee because they they randomly picked like I

875
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:19.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know, one hundred people to go, right, And I

876
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:21.639
<v Speaker 1>got to go to the complex and it was is

877
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:24.079
<v Speaker 1>the best part about it was you go into like

878
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the quote unquote and I'm doing air quotes here headquarters

879
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of AOL. And there it's this big, beautiful waiting room,

880
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, big huge lobby, and the behind you is

881
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.320
<v Speaker 1>like this glass wall of all these blinky server lights

882
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and and and it's like, I mean, it looks just amazing.

883
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:46.239
<v Speaker 1>It looks like a data center, right. Yeah. This is

884
00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:49.760
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of people's first ever experience looking at

885
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.199
<v Speaker 1>a data center. It's just a bunch of computers with

886
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:55.320
<v Speaker 1>blinky lights. Yeah, and then they brought us back and

887
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:57.199
<v Speaker 1>they gave us the tour, you know, they told us

888
00:45:57.239 --> 00:45:59.039
<v Speaker 1>the tour, and then they said, okay, now that you

889
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.039
<v Speaker 1>guys are employees, we're going to take you to the

890
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:05.760
<v Speaker 1>real data center. Wait it was it the real data center? No,

891
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that was all just that was literally just a wall

892
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:11.639
<v Speaker 1>of blinky lights. Like they took us behind it and

893
00:46:11.719 --> 00:46:14.159
<v Speaker 1>there was no servers. Oh I love all the blinky lights.

894
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.039
<v Speaker 1>So what they did is they actually made us wear blindfolds.

895
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:20.159
<v Speaker 1>They put us on a bus and they took us

896
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to an undisclosed location, which is probably what Matt is

897
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:25.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about, right, And when we got off the bus,

898
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:28.599
<v Speaker 1>there was armed guards and it was a giant warehouse

899
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:33.039
<v Speaker 1>with these massive like it looked like furnaces like inside

900
00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:37.559
<v Speaker 1>oh wow, they huge smoke stack furnaces and cooling. Well,

901
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:41.639
<v Speaker 1>but inside the warehouse, like you walk in, it looks

902
00:46:41.679 --> 00:46:45.880
<v Speaker 1>like a blast furnace, right, but inside of the blast

903
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.599
<v Speaker 1>furnace was all of the servers. And that is the

904
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:53.760
<v Speaker 1>true at the time, that was the true AOL headquarters.

905
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Kind of wonder if server rooms have changed much because

906
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:02.719
<v Speaker 1>of AI. I mean, I'm sure I'm both everything smaller Now.

907
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I would think now that's kind of growing again, because no,

908
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>they're growing exponentially. There's so much data now that AI

909
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:12.280
<v Speaker 1>is consuming and having to do that. It's that's where

910
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:14.039
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see a lot of it going into that.

911
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.320
<v Speaker 1>When I was working in television, we went to our

912
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:21.559
<v Speaker 1>data center was in Dallas, Texas. This data center biometric,

913
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:26.679
<v Speaker 1>it was i I scanning, it was multiple badges, it

914
00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:29.280
<v Speaker 1>was DNA. I mean, they literally took a blood sample

915
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.679
<v Speaker 1>from you. What to put on record in case, you know,

916
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:35.639
<v Speaker 1>there was an accident inside the data center and your

917
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:38.400
<v Speaker 1>blood was found there. They knew, make you disappear. But

918
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:41.840
<v Speaker 1>but but but our our cabinet for the TV station

919
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.440
<v Speaker 1>was literally next door to Facebook and Google.

920
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:49.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, that's so yeah, they yeah, that what you're

921
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:51.760
<v Speaker 3>talking about. It like the growth of the data centers.

922
00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:58.639
<v Speaker 3>It's so Where AOL was located in Ashburn, Virginia, a

923
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:01.760
<v Speaker 3>minute up the road was the old headquarters for ACI

924
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:06.079
<v Speaker 3>world Com NCI World Colm Oh wow, was right up

925
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:10.119
<v Speaker 3>the road from there. And growing up that area was

926
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:12.960
<v Speaker 3>it was farmland and nothing.

927
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:16.159
<v Speaker 1>It's a store. Remember the road. It's off Waxpool Road,

928
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:17.440
<v Speaker 1>off Route twenty eight.

929
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:22.719
<v Speaker 3>In Ashburn, Virginia, and that area exploded and it is

930
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:25.679
<v Speaker 3>now one of the more expensive places to try and

931
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:28.400
<v Speaker 3>live and buy a house because it is basically Silicon

932
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:32.239
<v Speaker 3>Valley on the east coast. Because the fiber, the main

933
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:36.679
<v Speaker 3>fiber line, the trans Pacific Fiber line, comes into San Francisco,

934
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:40.199
<v Speaker 3>and then it splits into three trunks. You've got the northern,

935
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:43.519
<v Speaker 3>the Central, and the Southern trunk. Northern trunk goes up

936
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:46.559
<v Speaker 3>kind of along the Great Lakes area, starts curving back down.

937
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:50.159
<v Speaker 3>Central line goes straight through Denver all the way across,

938
00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:53.239
<v Speaker 3>and the southern line goes down through Texas and then

939
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:58.840
<v Speaker 3>curves back up. Those three main fiber trunks rejoin in Ashburn,

940
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Virginia and become the trans Atlantic fiber line. So whenever

941
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:08.159
<v Speaker 3>you're looking on like AWS or Azure or Google Cloud

942
00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:11.320
<v Speaker 3>and you see like US East one, US East two,

943
00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.159
<v Speaker 3>that's all in Ashburn.

944
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:15.559
<v Speaker 1>It is the land of data centers.

945
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:16.719
<v Speaker 2>All this open land.

946
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Like you can pick up a rock on Waxpool Road,

947
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:22.119
<v Speaker 3>wing it through the sky as hard as you can

948
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:24.960
<v Speaker 3>and it will cross three different data centers before it

949
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:25.639
<v Speaker 3>hits the ground.

950
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow, amazing. All right, I got to show you something, guys,

951
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:32.119
<v Speaker 1>before we go to break here. I decided to bite

952
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the bullet and give it a shot. Mocha. That's Moca

953
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Multimedia over Coax Alliance and see if it really is

954
00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:43.519
<v Speaker 1>as fast as everybody says. It connects to your router

955
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:46.800
<v Speaker 1>co X or your motive, I should say, and then

956
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:50.599
<v Speaker 1>it has a backfeed that goes into your router, and

957
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:54.320
<v Speaker 1>then your router can then you put it the second

958
00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:57.599
<v Speaker 1>unit in another room with coax, so you're basically using

959
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.480
<v Speaker 1>your coax that's been wired in your which a lot

960
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:04.079
<v Speaker 1>of us don't use anymore, to be your kind of

961
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:08.039
<v Speaker 1>your cable provider for your Internet. And this is two

962
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.320
<v Speaker 1>point five They say it'll get two point five gigabits

963
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:13.760
<v Speaker 1>of speed, low latency, And I'm gonna give it a

964
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.679
<v Speaker 1>shot and fully test it out. But we'll see. And

965
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:20.679
<v Speaker 1>if so, a kit is about one hundred and seventeen dollars,

966
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:24.320
<v Speaker 1>so you figure out how many COAX out outlets do

967
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you have that you need better than power line. I

968
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:29.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's going to be better than Wi Fi.

969
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 1>People are saying it is. So Moke MCA. You find

970
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:36.480
<v Speaker 1>more info on our website. I featured it on TV

971
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:38.960
<v Speaker 1>this past week, so something to look at. We could

972
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:40.840
<v Speaker 1>take a break, we come back with more of tech

973
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:44.760
<v Speaker 1>talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird, I'm

<v Speaker 1>find us on facebooks for slash tech Talkers. We'll be

976
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:54.119
<v Speaker 1>right back and now back to tech talk Radio. I

977
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:56.119
<v Speaker 1>want to remind you to check out our YouTube page.

978

<v Speaker 1>You can subscribe YouTube dot com forward slash tech talk Radio.

979
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.039
<v Speaker 1>You could even watch this show. I have been working

980
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:08.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty feverishly and updating my studio here the studio for

981
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:09.920
<v Speaker 1>tech Talk Radio and some of the other stuff I do.

982
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I have got on the wall movie posters. I love

983
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.639
<v Speaker 1>movie posters. Used to collect them all the time. I've

984
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.119
<v Speaker 1>got the movie Into the Night, which was a John

985
00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Landis film. Sorry, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer. You also had

986
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:26.800
<v Speaker 1>David Bowie in the movie. You had Carl Perkins. I mean,

987
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.239
<v Speaker 1>just a huge cast, and I love the movie, so

988
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I have that in here. I also have talk Radio.

989
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You remember that movie Talk Radio, which was Eric Bogosian.

990
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:39.840
<v Speaker 1>It was a I think it was an Oliver Stone movie,

991
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:43.599
<v Speaker 1>and it was just about talk radio. But it's actually

992
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:47.199
<v Speaker 1>based on the story of a guy, a Chicago, Colorado

993
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:52.000
<v Speaker 1>radio host that was murdered, and it's actually pretty good.

994
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:54.639
<v Speaker 1>So I want to get a movie poster in here

995
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:58.159
<v Speaker 1>now that deals with tech, or even a poster from

996
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a TV series. And I'm thinking what would be the

997
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:05.440
<v Speaker 1>best one to get, Like what movie would be look

998
00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:09.119
<v Speaker 1>great as a movie poster or TV series? And I

999
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:11.000
<v Speaker 1>mean there's a lot of them out there. Do you

1000
00:52:11.079 --> 00:52:11.960
<v Speaker 1>guys have favorites?

1001
00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Tons, Yeah, a lot of favorites. There's one that

1002
00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:20.199
<v Speaker 2>I really liked growing up as a kid. It came

1003
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:22.159
<v Speaker 2>out in nineteen eighty five. It's called Darryl.

1004
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Darryl.

1005
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's a it's a It's basically about a nine

1006
00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:33.800
<v Speaker 2>year old kid who is actually a robot that gets

1007
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:39.679
<v Speaker 2>basically lost, finds a family, gets adopted, and like he's

1008
00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:41.840
<v Speaker 2>a robot, try and track them. Yeah, it's it's a

1009
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:44.119
<v Speaker 2>really good movie. It's like it's about the kid learning

1010
00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:45.840
<v Speaker 2>how to be a kid because it instead of a robot.

1011
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:48.559
<v Speaker 2>But it's It came out nineteen eighty five. It's called Darryl.

1012
00:52:48.760 --> 00:52:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Who do you know who's in it?

<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, I've never seen it. I'm gonna have to

1017
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:01.559
<v Speaker 1>look for that one. Yeah, that's a that was a

1018
00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:05.119
<v Speaker 1>classic one. That's a deep cut. Yeah, that's a good one.

1019
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go nineteen eighty three Matthew Broderick.

1020
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:10.320
<v Speaker 3>War Games.

1021
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, that was like to play a game sometimes.

1022
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:17.159
<v Speaker 1>All right, what was the name of the computer? Do

1023
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you remember a gang? The Whopper? That Whopper? You got it? Yes, yep,

1024
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:25.320
<v Speaker 1>all right, I like war game. I'm gonna have to

1025
00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:28.480
<v Speaker 1>go a little bit more recent. Really, uh one of

1026
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:32.840
<v Speaker 1>my favorite tech shows, mister Robot. I knew you were

1027
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:34.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna do, mister Robot. I wonder if they make a

1028
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.599
<v Speaker 1>poster for that one. Oh, of course they do. Yeah,

1029
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:39.559
<v Speaker 1>some of the some of the other ones. I was

1030
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:44.119
<v Speaker 1>looking at hackers. It was pretty good. Short circuit. Remember
