Speaker 1: Fates. It is time to teck it out. Weekly tech
Speaker 1: news segment we bring to you here on the Lynching
Speaker 1: Taco Show, brought you by JRS. Pick your Ticket Thursday,
Speaker 1: happening now at one oh one one w JRS Instagram.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now again at one oh
Speaker 2: one one WJRR. Like Lyncher over there said a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of different JARR shows coming that you could pick
Speaker 2: your ticket to just do what the post says. It's
Speaker 2: real quick and easy, you know, bring a friend with you.
Speaker 1: And you can do that anytime today. Yeah, okay. An
Speaker 1: Australian man who had heart failure has become the first
Speaker 1: person in the world to walk out of a hospital
Speaker 1: with a total artificial heart implants. Get this. He was
Speaker 1: waiting for a compatible donor uh for a heart ultimately
Speaker 1: to replace his.
Speaker 2: Failing to be dropped off in the Iglo cooler right
Speaker 2: right exactly that driver that we all see and go
Speaker 2: wonder what's in there.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, he had fully artificial heart implanted in
Speaker 1: his chest, which successfully kept him alive for one hundred
Speaker 1: days until the replacement heart was available. He then had
Speaker 1: the artificial heart removed. The replacement put in and he
Speaker 1: just walked out of the hospital.
Speaker 2: How long was he in the hospital after the you know,
Speaker 2: the transplant and then the extraction and then the.
Speaker 1: One hundred days at least. So I'm still that is awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good right, Well that's the one thing good about
Speaker 2: you know, with technology. I know AI scares me, but
Speaker 2: hope hopefully with technology they start curing some of these illnesses.
Speaker 1: Well, that's a big part of what they're hoping AI
Speaker 1: will bring to the table here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to discover that with AI right after
Speaker 2: AI blows the world up.
Speaker 1: Speaking of AI, I like what Spain is doing. They
Speaker 1: are proposing massive fines for not labeling AI generated content
Speaker 1: good And I definitely think if you are getting information
Speaker 1: or receiving information that was, you know, at the generated
Speaker 1: by artificial intelligence, you should at least know that. Remember,
Speaker 1: we came across something the other day, We're like, hey,
Speaker 1: that had to have been written by AI. A listener
Speaker 1: pointed it out. You'd like to know that. So I
Speaker 1: agree with Spain on that move there. No, I have
Speaker 1: no problem with AI generating content. You just like to
Speaker 1: know that it was from AI, not someone's own doing.
Speaker 1: Tennessee Cancer clinic is using holographic technology to beam doctors
Speaker 1: to rural areas. We're in the twenty first century. Cancer
Speaker 1: patients in Tennessee and Mississippi are now getting the opportunity
Speaker 1: to use a holo hologram doctor. The West Cancer Center
Speaker 1: and Research Institute, which serves up the twenty thousand patients
Speaker 1: in rural areas across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas, has put
Speaker 1: tech into place at two of its clinics to replace
Speaker 1: video calls with life size holograms of the doctors for
Speaker 1: consultations and office visit. It's like the doctors actually standing there,
Speaker 1: you know, chatting with you.
Speaker 2: I have a friend that was involved in a similar
Speaker 2: invention with this.
Speaker 1: The clinics are using tech from proto Hologram, a company
Speaker 1: that provides the systems used to create holograms that concerts,
Speaker 1: corporate conferences, in other live events, and it's been used
Speaker 1: by some pretty big artists. You may start seeing this
Speaker 1: pop up in other clinics around the country. The company
Speaker 1: has now dropped the price of the system from sixty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to twenty nine thousand dollars, so kind
Speaker 1: of in the big scheme of things, I think that's
Speaker 1: a good money to invest in awesome technology that can
Speaker 1: benefit patients.
Speaker 2: And when you said you might see this, I'll tell
Speaker 2: you pat because my friend was one of the big
Speaker 2: inventors on this. Probably wow, might almost be ten years ago.
Speaker 2: Now you will see this. It's I mean, it's already
Speaker 2: if it's making it or if it's making a check
Speaker 2: it out going places.
Speaker 1: Volkswagen one of the latest car manufacturers that has reverted
Speaker 1: back to putting physical controls for ascension essential cabin features
Speaker 1: back into its new vehicles. There was a while there
Speaker 1: and a lot of cars you might be driving right
Speaker 1: now don't have any physical knobs anymore. Everything's a touchscreen.
Speaker 1: And there's mixed reactions to that now that this has
Speaker 1: been in place for a while, and a lot of
Speaker 1: folks are saying, you know, I kinda miss the ability
Speaker 1: to know I'm grabbing onto something and it's actually engaging here.
Speaker 1: So Volkswagen now is really starting to go more back
Speaker 1: into that direction, although I think things are are gonna
Speaker 1: land where you're starting to see it more and more
Speaker 1: combination of where you got both physical control knobs and touchscreen,
Speaker 1: where it gives you the option of doing either.
Speaker 2: Or yeah, because you talked about this probably almost a
Speaker 2: year ago, where people are I kind of want to
Speaker 2: be in control, not just have all of it doing
Speaker 2: it for me.
Speaker 1: So if you're partial to Volkswagen, you'll see some more
Speaker 1: physical knobs starting to come back into newer models. This
Speaker 1: is an interesting story. A software developer in Houston is
Speaker 1: facing ten years in prison for installing a kill switch
Speaker 1: in his former employer's network. Get this, This guy decided
Speaker 1: that as a fail safe and well revenge, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, in the event he was to be fired,
Speaker 1: he installed this kill switch that would activate upon his termination,
Speaker 1: and he was eventually downsized from the company. The kill
Speaker 1: switch engaged, not the band, but it engaged and literally
Speaker 1: cost this company hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost
Speaker 1: productivity because it shut everything down and shut everyone out
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. They tracked it down.
Speaker 1: What happened, They traced it to him. He went through
Speaker 1: the court process. He's now awaiting sentencing. He was found guilty.
Speaker 1: He's looking at ten years in prison. That sucks.
Speaker 2: He got caught because that's like everybody wants to stick
Speaker 2: it to the man, you know, and that's he was
Speaker 2: doing it.
Speaker 1: And finally there's this TikTok rolling out some new bedtime
Speaker 1: friendly features aimed at teenagers, like playing calming music and
Speaker 1: displaying gentle reminders to log off after ten pm. Parents
Speaker 1: are also getting more control over their teen's usage through
Speaker 1: updated family pairing tools, allowing parents to set specific app
Speaker 1: free periods like dinner or homework time and see who
Speaker 1: the team follows. Other upcoming editions include meditation exercises to
Speaker 1: encourage better nighttime habits helping teens unwind and improve their
Speaker 1: sleep routines.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of parenting now doing what parents should
Speaker 2: be doing anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, TikTok realizes that especially some of the younger users
Speaker 1: are glued to that thing, and even the folks who
Speaker 1: run TikTok, I'm sure some of them have kids that
Speaker 1: deal with this dilemma. So you're seeing it start to
Speaker 1: trickle down and maybe, uh, turn the thing off for
Speaker 1: a little while, get some shut eye kid. That's it.
Speaker 1: So there you go. There's your ticket out segment for
