Speaker 1: Apple's twenty twenty five Worldwide Developers Conferences underway and continues
Speaker 1: today and tomorrow. It's being held at Apple Park in Coopertino, California,
Speaker 1: and runs through tomorrow. You can check out the live
Speaker 1: stream on YouTube, Apple's website, and the Apple app. If
Speaker 1: you're an Apple fanboy or fangirl and really want to
Speaker 1: see what's cooking under the hood. Develop wise from Apple
Speaker 1: felple more days of that. Nintendo was expecting that the
Speaker 1: new switch To would be just as successful as the original,
Speaker 1: but it's already become the fastest selling game console of
Speaker 1: all time After the huge launch last week, it has
Speaker 1: sold more than three point five million switch To units
Speaker 1: in just the first four days, surpassing records for any
Speaker 1: of Nintendo's hardware within the same launch period. The record
Speaker 1: is more significant than that, though, The director of research
Speaker 1: at Nico Partners points out that the switch Too is
Speaker 1: the fastest selling home video game console of all time.
Speaker 1: It took Sony sixteen days wow to sell two point
Speaker 1: one million PS four consoles, and six weeks to each
Speaker 1: four point two million. The switch To is also comfortably
Speaker 1: in the PS five launch, which debuted during the pandemic
Speaker 1: and associated chip supply constraints. It took seven weeks for
Speaker 1: Sony to sell through four point four million PS five units,
Speaker 1: So the switch Too is.
Speaker 2: Just the people are in there. We've had a bunch
Speaker 2: of listeners reach out about it.
Speaker 1: Monkey see Monkey do. On that note, Microsoft is finally
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and jump into the handheld gaming console world.
Speaker 1: You would have to think, hey, look what's going on
Speaker 1: with Nintendo and switch to let's get a piece of
Speaker 1: that pie. So Xbox has announced the Ally and Ally
Speaker 1: X for the upcoming holiday season. The new handheld comes
Speaker 1: through a collaboration with Asis and Republica Games, and will
Speaker 1: allow players to enjoy Xbox games from their couch. You're
Speaker 1: on the road. Not an official launch date yet, no specs,
Speaker 1: no price points, but those are coming soon. As they say,
Speaker 1: this will be launched through for Xbox in time for
Speaker 1: the holiday season. I think we need to go old
Speaker 1: school pat. This is out of left field, but that's
Speaker 1: how our role. When you said a collaboration, I'm done
Speaker 1: with that. I think that we say a partnership. We're
Speaker 1: going back, We're dialing it back. Oh you want to
Speaker 1: you want to remove collab from uh? Oh that that
Speaker 1: was already removed, I thought.
Speaker 2: But I've heard it two days in a row, and
Speaker 2: it's now it's not really floating partnership.
Speaker 1: You're good with it. I'm fine. I'm fine. Hulu's days
Speaker 1: as a standalone app may be numbered. Disney will pay
Speaker 1: Comcast NBC Universal nearly four hundred and thirty nine million
Speaker 1: for its steak in Hulu, taking full control of the
Speaker 1: streaming service. This move closes out in appraisal process. That's
Speaker 1: a process that's dragged on for a few years. Disney
Speaker 1: back in November of twenty twenty three, it was said
Speaker 1: that it was acquiring a thirty three percent steak in
Speaker 1: Hulu from Comcasts for at least eight point six billion.
Speaker 1: That amount reflected Hulu's guaranteed floor value of twenty seven
Speaker 1: point five billion. Disney has run Hulu since two thousand nineteen,
Speaker 1: when Comcast seeded its authority to Disney and became a
Speaker 1: silent partner at that point. But now it's going to
Speaker 1: be all in the hands of Disney wants all of
Speaker 1: this clear.
Speaker 2: So I think the question that everybody has, at least
Speaker 2: I do, is if you have that Hulu one of
Speaker 2: the Hulu packages, is it going to affect the cost?
Speaker 1: What will end up happening in What's where it really
Speaker 1: looks like it'll be going. It looks like Hulu will
Speaker 1: be folded into the Disney Plus app because they're not
Speaker 1: gonna they'll put all of their stuff under that umbrella there,
Speaker 1: and then I guess there'll be price points perhaps for
Speaker 1: however many of those services you want, or I don't
Speaker 1: know if they'll do all the car or hollow go
Speaker 1: on that I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: We shall see well else got oh.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven states and the District of Columbia have filed
Speaker 1: a lawsuit in bankruptcy court to stop the sale of
Speaker 1: personal genetic data from the DNA testing company twenty three
Speaker 1: and meter. The company known for its at home ancestry kits,
Speaker 1: recently filed for bankruptcy and is now in talks to
Speaker 1: be sold to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: six million, but the state attorneys general say the deal
Speaker 1: could put millions of people's personal genetic information at risk.
Speaker 1: The suit argues that the data is too sensitive to
Speaker 1: be sold without each customer's written consent. Twenty three and
Speaker 1: Me has promised to follow its existing privacy policies, but
Speaker 1: critics are arguing that once the data changes hands, there's
Speaker 1: no guarantee it won't be misused.
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
Speaker 1: It is kind of scary to think that twenty three
Speaker 1: and me went under financially and how many people they've
Speaker 1: got all my data there? Yeah, this is where it's headed,
Speaker 1: so they're trying to take steps to stop it. This
Speaker 1: is interesting. A fellow named Joe dous Sets has developed
Speaker 1: exterior paints that will change color seasonally. It would be
Speaker 1: quite effective in places where temperatures have a wide range,
Speaker 1: you know, colder in the winter months, hotter in the summertime.
Speaker 1: He got this idea of like the color of your
Speaker 1: house affects the temperature inside. So he ran some tests
Speaker 1: on testing different colors. Found out that it's more beneficial
Speaker 1: to have a darker color on your house during the
Speaker 1: winter months because it'll tract eat and lighter during the
Speaker 1: you know, the hot months because it tends to reflect.
Speaker 1: He actually did some research on that saw that there
Speaker 1: is a drastic change and he has developed this paint
Speaker 1: that changes from darker to lighter based on where you live. Now. Obviously,
Speaker 1: in a place like here in Florida where it's relatively
Speaker 1: warm year round, this isn't something that would work, or
Speaker 1: someplace like Antarctica work exactly where you have distinct cold
Speaker 1: and hot times of the year. This could be pretty
Speaker 1: cool as far as energy use goes or warm It's
Speaker 1: still in its developmental stages, also being developed TSA working
Speaker 1: on a new VR touchless pat down technology. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you're required to get a pat down if you're
Speaker 1: pulled out of the TSA line for whatever reason, or
Speaker 1: you're just the unlucky number. A lot of people don't
Speaker 1: like the pat downs. Well, they're seeing if they can
Speaker 1: develop something through VR where you would have, you know,
Speaker 1: a pad on the TSA agent's hands that they would
Speaker 1: wand over you rather than actually physically touching you. Know,
Speaker 1: they're they're utilizing some technology that already exists. Researches at
Speaker 1: the TSA are looking at what they call wearable sensor
Speaker 1: for Contactless Physical Assessment Device conceptual state of development. It'll
Speaker 1: use VR goggles and have to feedback loves to pat
Speaker 1: down airline passengers at security checkpoints without touching them. I
Speaker 1: like it. And the state of Washington has become the
Speaker 1: second state to enact a law placing speed limiting technology
Speaker 1: in the cars of drivers with reckless driving records. Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And Virginia also have a similar laws. So
Speaker 1: if you're just a bad driver and a real lead
Speaker 1: foot and you're getting racked up on tickets and citations
Speaker 1: and whatever, you get to a point where we're gonna
Speaker 1: put the speed limit or on your car. Sir.
Speaker 2: They call you a super speeder. You know, you exceed
Speaker 2: this feedlement too many times, you're classified. My father in
Speaker 2: law was that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this there's a lot of states that are
Speaker 1: looking at considering this, uh for chronically bad slash lead
Speaker 1: footed drivers.
Speaker 2: Ooh you catch them? Street racers? How's your little souped up?
Speaker 2: You know, hont to?
Speaker 1: Now it's just goinging, but it ain't going anywhere? Why
Speaker 1: is it he going anywhere? Back of fifty six in
Speaker 1: this one maniac maniac? All right, that's all we got
Speaker 1: time for for this week's check it out. Hope you
Speaker 1: find it useful.
