Speaker 1: Nintendo's delayed switch to pre orders finally kicked off for
Speaker 1: consumers in the United States this morning just after midnight
Speaker 1: via best Buy, Target, and Walmart websites, and almost immediately
Speaker 1: big problems after nearly an hour. Our frustration, many folks us, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of sounds like what happened here, And then
Speaker 1: a lot of users were reporting having issues even getting
Speaker 1: one of the consoles into their shopping carts, and in
Speaker 1: some cases when they did, they get to the checkout
Speaker 1: and then are told they have incomplete user information and
Speaker 1: to update that before and then getting kicked out of
Speaker 1: the site and what And then people started getting the
Speaker 1: messages that pre orders are currently out of stock. So
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure where it sits right now a
Speaker 1: quarter of eight, you know, about eight hours into the
Speaker 1: odds sale for switch to here in the US. But
Speaker 1: good luck is what it sounds like.
Speaker 3: That stinks.
Speaker 1: Now, keep in mind these are I got to have
Speaker 1: it first, got to have it first type stuff, you know.
Speaker 1: So at some point though, you'll be able to just
Speaker 1: walk in the store and buy it. So it may
Speaker 1: be a tough slog if you're trying to get the
Speaker 1: online purchase today. So what's going on with Elon Musk?
Speaker 1: He grabbed headlines this week when well, first off, he
Speaker 1: had the earnings call for Tesla, and as expected, the
Speaker 1: earnings information was not good. His company has been attacked
Speaker 1: ever since he became, you know, the facto head of
Speaker 1: DOGE under the Trump administration Department of Government Efficiency, and
Speaker 1: it's been open season on Tesla, Tesla drivers, Tesla dealerships,
Speaker 1: and where it stands now, his company is hurting.
Speaker 3: They really are.
Speaker 1: He did say on the earnings call that starting next month,
Speaker 1: he will be taking some steps back from his day
Speaker 1: to days doing his volunteer. He doesn't get paid to
Speaker 1: be the doge guy. He's just doing this. He'll be
Speaker 1: stepping back to dedicate more time to running Tesla and
Speaker 1: his other companies. Totally get that. A lot of people
Speaker 1: were taking that as him, you know, pushing panic button,
Speaker 1: but in reality, he as this contracted type government employee.
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty days is what he's permitted under
Speaker 1: law to kind of be in the current position he's
Speaker 1: in right now, So that would line up to about
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty days. As one hundred day mark
Speaker 1: is next Tuesday.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: Then you add in the next month, math works out
Speaker 1: he will still be involved with the folks that he
Speaker 1: put in place to run the Department of Government Efficiency
Speaker 1: and said he'll probably cut his participation back to a
Speaker 1: day or two each week and the rest of the
Speaker 1: time working on his other companies.
Speaker 4: I tell you what, anyway you look at it, I
Speaker 4: think you and I agree on this that people that
Speaker 4: are burning up Tesla's and doing all it's just stupid.
Speaker 1: Come on, you can think what you want about Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 3: He's a kajillionaire for a reason.
Speaker 1: There's no denying he is one of the great minds
Speaker 1: of our generation. Think of what he has done, what
Speaker 1: he has made reality. And you know he was a
Speaker 1: darling of you know, these very people who are trying
Speaker 1: to run his company out of business right now.
Speaker 3: Which is the great irony? I just doesn't compute. I
Speaker 3: agree with you, Taco. Just stop stuff like that. Everybody
Speaker 3: chill out.
Speaker 1: Neither of us are gonna go out and buy electric cars. No,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we have a problem with electric cars
Speaker 1: or whoever makes them. If you want to buy an
Speaker 1: electric car, you should be able to go buy one
Speaker 1: without fear of having it keyed or burnt helmet.
Speaker 2: Buddy, Pinball Pete had a pre s before anybody even
Speaker 2: knew what they were. We're gonna stop what I said.
Speaker 2: Oh man, your car just studies now it's half electric,
Speaker 2: it's hybrid.
Speaker 3: Pinball Pete twenty pounds A swing in me? All right?
Speaker 3: Thin is in?
Speaker 1: It looks like as uh. Leaked photographs of what's purported
Speaker 1: to be the iPhone seventeen are out there now, featuring
Speaker 1: an incredible thin iPhone that I guess is in the works.
Speaker 1: And ironically, the same rumor seems to be true about
Speaker 1: the next Samsung Galaxy, which is also going to be
Speaker 1: an ultraslim model to be the it's going to be
Speaker 1: called a Galaxy S twenty five Edge, and it sounds
Speaker 1: like Samsung will be holding an event on May thirteenth
Speaker 1: to unveil that ahead of launch into markets three months later.
Speaker 1: In other phone related news, this ties into the tariff situation.
Speaker 1: Apple has started assembling iPhone sixteen e's in Brazil, where
Speaker 1: the tariff rate will just be ten percent rather than
Speaker 1: what's going on in China, so that obviously moved to
Speaker 1: prevent some of the cost increase with that particular iPhone.
Speaker 1: Moving forward again, the whole tariff situation, it's all big negotiation.
Speaker 1: And where this all ends up states a work in progress.
Speaker 1: Honda's fuel cell system could find a home in space.
Speaker 1: This is cool technology here, and we've talked a little
Speaker 1: bit about this in the past, is.
Speaker 3: Hydrogen power.
Speaker 1: In fact, this technology exists already in some vehicles still
Speaker 1: in the very early stage. I think BMW actually have
Speaker 1: a model on a very limited basis that is a
Speaker 1: hydrogen powered vehicle. And if you think about it. You
Speaker 1: want to talk about coming up with a system that truly,
Speaker 1: you know, would leave very little carbon footprint, This would
Speaker 1: be the way to go.
Speaker 3: Plus they make peroxide, sure, yeah, that too.
Speaker 1: Honda though, has this new regenerative fuel system that they
Speaker 1: want to test aboard the International Space Station in hopes
Speaker 1: of eventually using this technology when we set up a
Speaker 1: lunar colony on the Moon. You're gonna need energy wherever
Speaker 1: you set up. And there's no date set yet for
Speaker 1: what flight this will be on, but the idea is
Speaker 1: to get it up there at the ISS, do some
Speaker 1: testing on it, and then you know, improve from there
Speaker 1: and go from that point.
Speaker 3: Good stuff, good stuff. There's some scared part of me
Speaker 3: on that too.
Speaker 1: A new bill before the Florida Senate, if passed, would
Speaker 1: make it open season on intrusive drones. The goal of
Speaker 1: the bill would be to expand the Sunshine State's overall
Speaker 1: restriction on unmanned aircraft systems. That expansion would include giving
Speaker 1: a property owner the right to use a reasonable force
Speaker 1: to stop drones from conducting surveillance citing a reasonable expectation
Speaker 1: of privacy.
Speaker 3: That does not mean pull out your shotgun.
Speaker 1: The definition of reasonable force is open to interpretation, and
Speaker 1: this is Florida after all, so that can be a
Speaker 1: broad interpretation.
Speaker 2: I could just see this now, I said, the shot
Speaker 2: going because we had a listener that texted in that
Speaker 2: he got in trouble for that, dude.
Speaker 3: Don't.
Speaker 1: As the bill currently stands, there are no limits on
Speaker 1: what action property owners can take, but a drone must
Speaker 1: be flying under five hundred feet for defensive action to
Speaker 1: be taken. Again, this is just in front of the
Speaker 1: Senate for consideration, has not passed yet. So, as Taco said,
Speaker 1: don't get out there and just start shooting drones out
Speaker 1: of No, don't.
Speaker 3: Shoot anything into this sky. What goes up must come down.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Oh my goodness. A couple more things here,
Speaker 1: let's see. Oh do you have Max HBO Max? Well,
Speaker 1: this was rumored and now it's happening. Apparent crackdown on
Speaker 1: password sharing outside the home. The company's streaming service, Max
Speaker 1: has launched a new feature it's calling extra Member add on.
Speaker 1: Does that sound familiar Netflix subscribers, yep, paid sharing model.
Speaker 1: The new feature allows users to add an extra person
Speaker 1: who does not live in the same household as the
Speaker 1: primary account holder to the subscription for a monthly fee
Speaker 1: that will be seven ninety nine cents on top of
Speaker 1: what you already paid you if you want to allow
Speaker 1: someone to share, and if you're going, well, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do that. Well, it sounds like they're going
Speaker 1: to cut off the extra users here as we speak.
Speaker 1: This is starting to roll outs all.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, people have kids in college and
Speaker 3: me rang in taco.
Speaker 1: I know you love having an AI story. There's a
Speaker 1: Chinese hair salon that's utilizing AI to shampoo customers. AI
Speaker 1: powered machines to washing rens hair in just thirteen minutes.
Speaker 2: And in next week's next week's Idiotology, we're going to
Speaker 2: have a lead story of somebody getting scalped.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: These machines use infrared sensors to detect the scalp and
Speaker 1: choose the right shampoo and method based on a hair type. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like this could go sideways horribly, as you said,
Speaker 1: for a potential future idiotology story. All right, I think
Speaker 1: we covered a lot of ground for check it out
Speaker 1: this morning. Are you feeling technically satisfied right now?
Speaker 3: I'm advanced? Oh good?
Speaker 1: All right, I'd like to invite you to stay with
Speaker 1: us we're going to get Lynchin Taku's commercial free workday
