00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.799
<v Speaker 1>On one w JR R, Orlando's rock station, The Lynching Taco Show.

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Good morning. A reminder coming up right around eight o'clock,

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have some Earthday Birthday information to share with you. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>so you've been asking questions, We're gonna give you answers.

5
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Coming up at eight.

6
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.719
<v Speaker 1>It is time for teck it out the latest tech

7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>news here on JR. Are not quite sure where Taco

8
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Bob is. Disappear there he is. Come on in, man,

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the water's fine. I know, I just got done using

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the water in the restroom. All right, Let's begin with

11
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the situation with TikTok, which is set to well go

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>dark here in the United States as of Sunday as

13
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>a legislation that was passed on a bipartisan basis dictating

14
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>that Bite Dance, the Chinese company that owns the US

15
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>version of TikTok, divests themselves and sell to a non

16
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Chinese entity, will no longer be able to do business

17
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>here in the United States. As of right now, no

18
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>sale has been announced, and we're a Thursday. Yes, there

19
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>are a couple things in play right now. The Supreme

20
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Court is looking at this legislation and should render their view.

21
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>By tomorrow, it's thought that they'll probably uphold the legislation. Again,

22
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>this was a bipartisan thing on the basis of national

23
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>security concerns with the Chinese potentially just vacuuming up all

24
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>of our data and using it as they see fit, which, look,

25
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you can't trust trust China. They're an adversary. So that's

26
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>why this was put through. As it stands right now,

27
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 1>TikTok will go dark on Sunday. But last night, and

28
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>this is the latest development. Trump some doing Trump Right.

29
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Mike Waltz, who is the incoming National Security Advisor for

30
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the new administration. He's from right here in Florida, did

31
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>two different interviews last night on National News and basically

32
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 1>said the same thing. Let me let me just read

33
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 1>you from the interview last night. He says that President

34
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>elect Trump is considering ways he could preserve TikTok once

35
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>he takes office if the Supreme Court upholds the US

36
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 1>ban on the Chinese owned social media platform. Trump has

37
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>been very clear about what he'd do. This is coming

38
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>from Representative Mike Walts, who will be the National Security advisor.

39
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>He said, Number one, TikTok is a great platform that

40
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>millions of Americans use and has been great for not

41
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>only his campaign and getting his message out, but number two,

42
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna protect US user's data. That's his goal in

43
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>the end, as is the legislation's goal. He went on

44
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to say, look, he's a deal maker. I don't want

45
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to get ahead of our executive orders, but we're going

46
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to create this space to put the deal in place.

47
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>So it sounds like they're at work on something that

48
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>will preserve TikTok for users here in the United States.

49
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>What exactly form is that going to take. My best

50
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>guess would be they'll extend the deadline for the sale.

51
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>They're still probably gonna make them sell to a non

52
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Chinese entity. But it sounds like they're fully well aware

53
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 1>that they don't want to piss off one hundred and

54
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>seventy million users here in the United States.

55
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, when you have a guy like.

56
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 3>The Facebook dude on your side, and you have Elon Mudd,

57
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 3>and you have all these great minds, somebody can figure

58
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 3>out how to protect our info. I would think, wouldn't you.

59
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, at the end of the conversation, they're

60
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>still going to demand that bite dance, get out of

61
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the mix here, so we'll see where it goes. If

62
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>you're worried about TikTok going dark on Sunday, I want

63
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>to get too too concerned. Yet it definitely sounds like something.

64
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be some movement on this one way or another.

65
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>The State of Texas is suing All State Insurance for

66
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 1>collecting driver data to raise premiums on drivers.

67
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Get this.

68
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 1>An investigation revealed that All State, in a company called Arity,

69
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 1>paid mobile apps millions of dollars to install All States

70
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>tracking software. The personal data of millions of Americans was

71
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 1>sold to insurance companies without their knowledge or consent, in

72
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>violation of the law. All State developed the Arity Driving

73
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Software Development Kit, a package of code that the company

74
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 1>allegedly paid mobile app developers to install in their products

75
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>in order to collect a variety of sensitive data from

76
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>consumers' phones.

77
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>That's us.

78
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>The software gathered phone geolocation data accelerator you could tell

79
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 1>how fast you were going in a vehicle, gyroscopic data,

80
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>details about where the phone owners started and ended their trips,

81
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>in information about driving behavior, such as whether phone owners

82
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 1>appe to be speeding or driving while distracted. According to

83
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the lawsuit, now there are you know, insurance companies will

84
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>offer you the chance to be monitored in hopes of

85
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>keeping your premiums lower. But Texas is alleging they were

86
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>able to get this same data through different apps that

87
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>users had no idea.

88
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>It's like gas Buddy or ways maybe.

89
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm going to give you the actual apps that

90
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>are named here, Gas Buddy, Fuel Rewards, and Life three sixty,

91
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>the popular family monitoring app. The complaint points out that, look,

92
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, not only do drivers not know this was

93
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 1>being used in this matter, but who's to say they're

94
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>actually driving a car that they're now being assigned to

95
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>a driving score to, or much less not on a

96
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 1>bus or some other form of public transportation where erratic behavior.

97
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Is now being reported and used as a penalty against that.

98
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Think if you were on that right line, this guy,

99
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 3>mister Lynch is doing one hundred and eighty miles. No,

100
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 3>so this is in Texas specifically, you're gonna tell me, Lynch,

101
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 3>look at me. You're gonna tell me that other states

102
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 3>aren't doing this as well?

103
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, I bet it's a Texas just happens to

104
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 1>be the state that's filing against all state that is

105
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 1>doing this across there there.

106
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, all of them. Yes.

107
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>So, so they're just the first to bring this to light.

108
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>And uh, this just doesn't sound real good.

109
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 3>This is a class action right here, baby, that's gonna

110
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 3>that's one I'll sign up for.

111
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't have all state though, huh uh.

112
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Interestingly enough, Texas is also in the news the Tech

113
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 1>News over these age verification law for adult sites that

114
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 1>are in place now in twenty six states, including as

115
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of the first of this year in Florida. You know

116
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>where you have to verify your a certain age.

117
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

118
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 1>The Supreme Court is or heard arguments on that yesterday

119
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>whether these laws are legitimate or not, and the initial

120
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>response from the questions that the justices were asking in

121
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the inquiry yesterday seemed to indicate that they're probably not

122
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>going to have a problem with age verification laws in

123
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.199
<v Speaker 1>the name of trying to restrict access to minors make

124
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 1>it more difficult for minors.

125
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So that's not.

126
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Good news for the adult entertainment industry. Again, the decision

127
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 1>on that case probably not until the spring. Microsoft announcing

128
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>they will not support office apps on Windows ten after

129
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>October fourteenth. I've already told you in this segment that

130
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>Windows ten is the support for the program in general,

131
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 1>also ending in October. Now, the Office Suite of Apps

132
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>also will not have support as of October. They'll still work,

133
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>but they may not be as reliable as if they

134
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 1>were receiving regular updates and patches. Microsoft is trying to

135
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>force everybody onto Windows eleven is what's happening here and

136
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the issue, and I'm really hoping they extend this. A

137
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of people just are not switching because Windows ten

138
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>is perfectly fine, works great, and if you have a

139
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 1>working computer, a lot of the unfortunately, a lot of

140
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the computers that are in great working shape right now

141
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and can accommodate Windows ten don't have the support to

142
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 1>accommodate Windows eleven.

143
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>You see what I'm saying.

144
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 1>There is a way if you've got a newer computer

145
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and you're running Windows ten, you can easily transition it

146
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to to Windows eleven. But if you're running an older one,

147
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.199
<v Speaker 1>most cases, your software is not going to support the

148
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 1>new Windows. So they got a new computer, your damn

149
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 1>computer right kind of put you in a rock in

150
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 1>a hard place there.

151
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Somebody was talking about with the insurance companies and monitoring it. Yeah,

152
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.360

<v Speaker 1>Venue Sports you know that was going to be that

156
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 1>collaborative sports streaming effort between uh, you know, Warner, ESPN, Fox,

157
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know, multiple companies that offer sports. Venue now

158
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.960

159
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>News of.

160
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Fubuu now being parts you know, being purchased. So we

161
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>talked about a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, Direct tv

162
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>was threatening the lawsuit, I guess, so that was enough

163
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 1>for ESPN and the others involved to say, we're just

164
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna bench Venue.

165
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna happen. With that.

166
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Direct TV now is launching their own sports streaming plas.

167
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Try to tell us when it finishes, tell us what's done? Somebody?

168
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Sports is what.

169
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Causes all these issues with costs for watching content and

170
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 1>what what it is getting down to here is it's

171
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>like you got people who mainly watch sports when they

172
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.399
<v Speaker 1>have some you know, a service, right, and then there's

173
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>people who don't care about sports yet are still charged

174
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 1>for the cost of the sports channels. Eventually, hopefully we'll

175
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 1>get to the point where if you're a sports person

176
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 1>in sports is what you want, go get that and

177
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>just pay for that. Everybody else if you don't want that,

178
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 1>won't have to have that. Are we there yet? No?

179
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 2>It could be soon at some point hopefully somebody somebody

180
