00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>The following program is produced by the tech Talk Radio Network.

2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to buy just the absolute primo system

3
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 2>out today. That usually wastes money. So I'll be doing

4
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 2>some digital photography, maybe some video editing. Don't do any

5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>gaming at all, so I don't have that demand on

6
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 2>the computer. It's wondering what you guys would suggest, either

7
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 2>in brands or just in general speed. And where do

8
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 2>you go to get the maximum bang for the buck

9
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>right now?

10
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like you want to max. Welcome to another episode

11
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>of tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor.

12
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Bye, I'm Sean de Weird, I'm Matt Jones, Dan, I'm slick.

13
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>And Justin is out today, something about going to the mountains.

14
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>You went camping or something like that.

15
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 3>He went camping, And so far, every picture that I've

16
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 3>seen of Eric has has not shown a please face

17
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 3>to be out camping. Almongst the great outdoors.

18
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's hard to convince kids with all the

19
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>technology we have today that being out in the outgrade

20
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 1>outdoors is a fun thing to do.

21
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 4>Look a stick, Look it's another stick.

22
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I really enjoy camping, so I take offense.

23
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and now have you taken the kids out camping, though,

24
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Do they appreciate the.

25
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 5>Experience as much as they can? For me three and

26
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 5>six months old, Oh yeah, so we took So I

27
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 5>grew up camping, right. My mom was camping when she's

28
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 5>praying with me. I've been camping my entire life. So

29
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 5>we went camping. When Cad was pregnant with Max, we

30
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 5>went camping. So like three weeks after Max was born,

31
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 5>two weeks after, Daniel's like, we've been camping. We camp

32
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 5>all the time.

33
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>You're not how many times have you been camping?

34
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 4>Like I'm gonna say, I think honestly that that can

35
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 4>qualify as camping too. One is early teens in Albuquerque

36
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 4>near the Rio Grande boy Scouts and then once uh,

37
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 4>some crew we went from power fourteen fifty we went

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 4>up to I want to say Mount Lemon, I don't.

39
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 4>We went up to one in our mount here whatever,

40
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 4>whatever one we got.

41
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>It's like a radio promotion for no.

42
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 4>We're just one weekend, you know, somebody did their last

43
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 4>their last shift of the afternoon and we were hanging

44
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 4>around somebody's house, uh, and we were like, hey, you know,

45
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 4>and even our wives and a girlfriends are there. This

46
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 4>was amazing. We pulled this off. You know what, let's

47
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 4>just go camping and we took off.

48
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Wow, let us Really they thought you were never coming back. Yeah.

49
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 4>I do have a question for Sean, serious question. So

50
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 4>when you go camping being a tech guy, you know,

51
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 4>I do envy anyone that could go camping. I do

52
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 4>envy because that's I mean, that's literally living off the land.

53
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 4>I really do. I wish I could do it. I

54
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 4>wish I knew. I wish I knew how to do it.

55
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 4>I wish I had the skills. But when you do

56
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 4>go camping, what tech are you taking with you?

57
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 5>So we've talked about this on the shelf, right, So

58
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 5>I've done a variety of camping, right, I've done ted camping,

59
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 5>I've done camper camping, I've done our V motor home camping.

60
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 5>I've done I've done all the gamut. Right, But in

61
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 5>terms of tech, right, it just pens. It depends on

62
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 5>what I'm doing, where I'm going, how much you can carry,

63
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 5>how much you want to take with you. If we're

64
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 5>going right now, if I were to pack up my camper,

65
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 5>the technology I would take with me would be I

66
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 5>have my camera bank with my two dieselars, in it

67
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 5>because I want to. If I'm going camping, I'm probably

68
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 5>gonna be shooting some nighttime stuff. I'm taking, you know,

69
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 5>my power inverter so I can be powered and plug

70
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 5>into the solar and charge it. I don't have a drone,

71
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 5>so I'm not taking one of those. And then I

72
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 5>had done this when we went traveling out west, just

73
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 5>in case the weather got bad and we were stuck inside.

74
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 5>I built my own mobile flex server on a Raspberry

75
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 5>Pie and a two terabyte hard drive with a tp

76
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 5>link mini AP so it's a single It's literally a

77
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 5>two inch by two inch q that it's the ext

78
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 5>point with one E threat point in it. So I

79
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 5>turn it on, plug in the pie boom flex server

80
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 5>on the goal bad, it all runs off. It all

81
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 5>runs off twelve.

82
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>So you get on the great outdoors and you watch content.

83
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I will say when we when we went up

84
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 5>to the up the Upperts Liver for those you don't

85
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 5>live the Michigan then is a Michigan and it rained

86
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 5>for like a data half and Max were stuck inside

87
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 5>and wanted to watch Lightning McQueen on YouTube because it's

88
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 5>pretty wants to watch right now? Yeah, I was able

89
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 5>to rip some of those videos from YouTube futrom my

90
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 5>plex server.

91
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Perfect. Yeah.

92
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 5>So then I just pull out the iPad, connect to

93
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 5>the wire, the TP link, and I've got access to

94
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 5>all those videos that I've put on there for him

95
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 5>to watch.

96
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's cool. It keeps them entertained, so at least, yeah,

97
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in that situation.

98
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 5>So so, yeah, so I take a lot of photography

99
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 5>tech with me. Right, I'm still pretty heavily into analog

100
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 5>film shooting, so I had I took I take my

101
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 5>Minolta X seven hundred with me. I have my Polaroid camera.

102
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 5>I've got probably like seven cameras that I take with me.

103
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Right, so you're still doing you're still developing film.

104
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 5>I ship it off to Indie Film Labs, which is

105
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 5>about ten to twelve dollars per role, depending on the

106
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 5>type of film you send them.

107
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>But it has a real different looks Like, well, a

108
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>couple a few weeks ago, we took a look at

109
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 1>some of the photos that Sean had taken and it

110
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>just actually, these are photos you had developed that were

111
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 1>what twenty years old?

112
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 5>I mean yeah, so there were So I shot a

113
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 5>whole two new roles of film that were probably the

114
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 5>roles of film were probably twenty years old. But then

115
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 5>I also had a disposable film camera that had pictures

116
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 5>on it from I don't even know when, Yeah, and

117
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 5>I just shipped that in and they developed it, and

118
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 5>that one had been the film had had some degradation.

119
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if it was mold or whatever, but

120
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 5>they didn't come back looking super great. But the stuff

121
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 5>I shot on my I'm Minolta, the two roles looked

122
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 5>really good and I got some, like some of my

123
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 5>favorite pictures from that trip around that from that camera

124
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 5>versus my DSLR.

125
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's funny if you think about it, though, Sean,

126
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>with the pictures that we take with film, it's a

127
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>different look. You know, now you look at it. AI

128
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 1>is going to be able to take that and you

129
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>could tell it. You can have AI apply a filter

130
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>that would say a code chrome look, or you know,

131
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>an early film look.

132
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 5>I have a philosophy in my photography that I do.

133
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 5>I don't shoot to edit and post there you go, right.

134
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 5>I shoot to post, like if I were to put

135
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 5>it on the internet, like say shoot the post, I

136
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 5>take a picture. I do very minimal editing, right, I

137
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 5>shoot in raw on my DSLR. So yeah, okay, the

138
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 5>raw images look pretty flat, right, They're meant to be

139
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 5>enhanced by bringing out the contrast, the highs the lows,

140
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 5>a little bit of trauma, you know. But I don't

141
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 5>do any other post editing. I have never gotten into it.

142
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 5>I'm not good at it because I've never spent the

143
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 5>time to do it, because that takes away the value

144
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 5>of the arts. To me, AI is taking the human

145
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 5>experience out of being a human being. That's my philosophy

146
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 5>on AI. There are benefits to AI, but that is

147
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 5>to me, the biggest downfall of this is that the

148
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 5>human experience needs to create things. We need to create things.

149
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 5>We need to do things that take our mind and

150
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 5>put emotion to them and put them on a medium. Drawings, photography, art, music,

151
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 5>et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. If you start taking

152
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 5>that away from people, I don't know what that's going

153
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 5>to do. AI hasn't been around for a whole, you know,

154
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 5>a whole long time. But other things that have taken

155
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 5>away creativity people have you seen terrible things happen?

156
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with you, Sean, but you look at

157
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>how technology has progressed when we were shooting film and

158
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you would get it processed and there was an excitement about,

159
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, opening up and seeing the photos. And then

160
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 1>photoshop comes along or corral even you could do things

161
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 1>with it, you could manipulate and then walk them comes

162
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>out with these great tablets to make it easier. And

163
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>now we're at the stage where, yeah, we've done a

164
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>lot with that, and there's some great photoshop artists that

165
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 1>are out there that have taken photos that they've shot

166
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and enhanced them incredibly using light room and photoshop. But

167
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 1>now we have AI doing it for us.

168
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 5>And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the

169
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 5>digital art isn't the thing. Digital art is very much

170
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 5>a thing, right. You see in tons of video games.

171
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 5>There are a lot of great video game art, video

172
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 5>game artists and digital artists that have created beautiful and

173
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 5>engaging and just amazing content. AI is still taking out

174
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 5>the human experience, right.

175
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm entirely with Sean on this one. One of the

176
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 3>great quotes that I saw the other day was AI

177
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 3>was supposed to make my work and job easier so

178
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I could focus on my art and craft, not take

179
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 3>my art and craft out of my hands, so I

180
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 3>could only focus on my job.

181
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 5>That's a great quote. Send me that quote wherever you

182
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 5>found it from, said it to me, because whoever wrote

183
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 5>that quote, I want to meet them in person.

184
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 4>I want to copy that too.

185
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it really does. Like you know, in my

186
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.759
<v Speaker 3>last job, you know, we had AI starting to roll

187
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 3>out on you know, any any vendor software. They were like, well,

188
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 3>with our new you know, Charlotte AI component, it was

189
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, I could just be like, hey, do this

190
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.159
<v Speaker 3>and that and put these guys in these groups and

191
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 3>let me know what it's all done. And that ask

192
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 3>might have taken me, you know, half an hour normally

193
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 3>I asked it to do it, and it's just like

194
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 3>bit back, all right, I'm done. That's what AI was

195
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be for. It was supposed to be like, hey,

196
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 3>make our jobs easier, make manufacturing easier. Take us out

197
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 3>of the places that you know, we're spending forty plus

198
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 3>hours a week at so I can go camping, I

199
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 3>can draw, I can do photos to where we don't

200
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 3>have to live to work like we you know, we

201
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.080
<v Speaker 3>we just work becomes a small component of our lives.

202
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 3>So there was actually the CEO of Nvidia equated where

203
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 3>we are with AI to the next Industrial Revolution. I

204
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 3>think we talked about this last show that you know,

205
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 3>the original industrial revolution was because you had before you

206
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 3>didn't have, you know, the standardization of parts. Like people

207
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 3>are like, oh, Henry Ford, creator of the automobile. He

208
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 3>was not the creator of the automobile. They were already

209
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 3>making them in Europe well before that. He was the

210
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 3>guy who perfected the assembly line. So every model T

211
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 3>that came off the line was like everyone before, everyone after.

212
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 3>He could just crank it out by volume. We are

213
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 3>now at the technological equivalence of that with AI. Like,

214
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 3>for example, I was applying to jobs today and my

215
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 3>wife was like, hey, you know, I know you normally

216
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 3>don't do it. Make sure you do a cover letter.

217
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 3>I went in to chat GPT and I was like, hey,

218
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.840
<v Speaker 3>here's my resume, here's the link to the job posting.

219
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 3>I need a cover letter, and it would just boom,

220
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 3>here's your cover letter. And it would even pull like,

221
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's my name, contact information, all that, you know,

222
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 3>hiring manager at, and it's the company and it pulled

223
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 3>the address and everything out of there, populated customized it.

224
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.399
<v Speaker 3>I had six cover letters done in fifteen minutes.

225
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, cool.

226
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 4>But when you look at the cover letter, what did

227
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 4>you how did you feel about each individual letter?

228
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Though each individual letter was different, customized to the position,

229
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 3>customized to the company, customized to what the company does,

230
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 3>their values, what they're trying to push, what industry they

231
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 3>were in. It was not a boiler plate like if

232
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.559
<v Speaker 3>I done it, I'd had like this boilerplate letter with

233
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 3>like a couple of sentences that I would change in between.

234
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.480
<v Speaker 3>The ball just been like that's good enough, all.

235
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Right, Yeah, that's fine.

236
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't do cover letters like I never have this one.

237
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 3>It's just like I'm reading this and I'm like, man,

238
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 3>that's really good. Like that's you start using I'll tell

239
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.159
<v Speaker 3>you I could start using AI more.

240
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 4>Man, this is nice.

241
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 1>It's like there are a lot of benefit right, So

242
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I got to.

243
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 5>I got added on as part of the chat GPT

244
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 5>pilot of Campus in a RAM, so I've been playing

245
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 5>with it at work. There are be like I was

246
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 5>anti AI everything when it first, Like when it was

247
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.159
<v Speaker 5>the rage, right you guys know about that. I was like, no,

248
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 5>I'm not never gonna do chat GPT, not doing it.

249
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 5>But then I was like, how could I It started

250
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.960
<v Speaker 5>coming up where we were doing all this cloud production

251
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 5>and we're doing all this stuff, and how can AI

252
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 5>help us advance the technology in our work? And I

253
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.080
<v Speaker 5>saw value in that. So that's where my focus with

254
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 5>AI is is focusing on how I can use it

255
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 5>to enhance my work experience. I am using it on

256
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.559
<v Speaker 5>a personal level to do some creative storytelling, like you know,

257
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 5>I've done it with my Dungeon and Dragons campaigns where

258
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 5>I've taken the auto transcript and generating a short story format,

259
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 5>which has been awesome. And I've been learning how to

260
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.720
<v Speaker 5>properly prompt the j GPT to give me what I want,

261
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 5>which in turn has helped me prompt it better at

262
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 5>getting the things done I wanted to do for work.

263
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 5>So using AI has been beneficial to me, but I

264
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 5>still am hard pressed to try and do music, photography,

265
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 5>other artworks or like just because it doesn't sit well

266
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 5>with me.

267
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you it's been interesting, and some of you

268
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 1>know that I've been working with middle school and high

269
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>school kids about creating podcasts and the program has been great.

270
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 1>It's worked out really well. And I was talking to

271
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a principal the other day who said, you know, I

272
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 1>would love the idea about possibly you coming in and

273
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 1>teaching them about technology and you know, creating digital technology

274
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 1>and using AI. And I told the principle. I said,

275
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.279
<v Speaker 1>if we were to teach the kids number one AI,

276
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the coursework would change within about five six months. And

277
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the only thing we can teach with AI is how

278
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to summon the AI that they need. Like the problem

279
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have when it comes to some

280
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>of the AI that's out there and maybe whether it

281
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>be gpt DALLY three or some of the others that

282
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 1>are available, is getting the right results by asking the

283
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:44.519
<v Speaker 1>proper questions. And the better the question, the more streamlined,

284
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the better the result you're going to get. And that's

285
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.919
<v Speaker 1>what some people are not understanding about it. However, I

286
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 1>will tell you and Slick, I know that this will

287
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of you. Being from a radio broadcasting background, I

288
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>fell down the rabbit. This past week, Google has launched

289
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>something new called Notebook LM. It's actually who it's experimental

290
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 1>and if you have a Google account you can try

291
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>this experimental AI, which is an AI powered tool that

292
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 1>is designed to help users understand information by summarizing notes

293
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.399
<v Speaker 1>and sources so you get a bunch of notes, you

294
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 1>throw them into this notebook LM, and you have it

295
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>create a synopsis, a summary, or even a couple of

296
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.919
<v Speaker 1>people talking about it like a podcast. That what I

297
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.279
<v Speaker 1>created sounded very similar to what would be morning radio

298
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 1>or maybe even a podcast itself. And again it could help,

299
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>they say students and studying. It works by training a

300
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>specialized AI in the documents that users upload. THEAI then

301
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>becomes an expert on the user's documents that can provide

302
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 1>specific resources. So I'm gonna play a little audio for you. Now.

303
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Remember I took notes and I uploaded them, and these

304
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:07.279
<v Speaker 1>are two AI people talking about what I had uploaded.

305
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 6>All right, everybody, deep dive time you ready. We've got

306
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.279
<v Speaker 6>a wild mix of stuff to unpack today.

307
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 5>Definitely should be interesting.

308
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 6>I was just looking over these new snippets and the

309
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.159
<v Speaker 6>event you sent looks like we're going to be talking

310
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 6>about everything from like AD overload to at ownership and

311
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.399
<v Speaker 6>then to top it off, a free local event this weekend.

312
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Sounds like a plan.

313
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.720
<v Speaker 6>So let's jump right in. Huh. This first one, this

314
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.240
<v Speaker 6>Business Journal's article right it says we're hit wow.

315
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:33.639
<v Speaker 4>Get this.

316
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 6>Four thousand ads every single day.

317
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Now, remember, all I did was uploaded the story about

318
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the four thousand ads, and that was it. That's all

319
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I did. I uploaded a bunch of stories and then

320
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I said a story about an event that happened green

321
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Egg deities.

322
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 3>What about you, though, what workshops are you most excited about?

323
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.399
<v Speaker 6>Oh Man, tough call, But honestly, those computer basics and

324
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 6>online safety ones sound super useful, especially these days.

325
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 5>You know no doubt about it? Did you?

326
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.519
<v Speaker 1>So you listen to the AI Did that not sound

327
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 1>like two real people.

328
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:12.799
<v Speaker 5>Have from from listening to it the way there, the

329
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.440
<v Speaker 5>way their cadence was totally not human to me.

330
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 4>Real right now, generally I would agree with you this

331
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 4>one could have fooled me now because the other ones

332
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 4>I got kind of catched. This one could have fooled me.

333
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.679
<v Speaker 3>Now that that that fell firmly in the uncanny valley

334
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.559
<v Speaker 3>for me, that it was just I was shown like

335
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.879
<v Speaker 3>the cadences, the pauses and the breaks were just like

336
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 3>just that, those couple degrees off, just like I'm.

337
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Like, ah, now, now let me say this. Behind what

338
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 4>I just said, this one could have fooled me. But

339
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't listen to these two because I don't listen

340
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.440
<v Speaker 4>to people on the radio like this. Already. There are

341
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 4>people like this on air already. I can't stand and

342
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 4>I don't listen to their shows.

343
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I was driving on Friday morning or Thursday morning, listening

344
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 1>to a show very similar to this, and I'm ember

345
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking this. When I did this on Thursday or Friday

346
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Friday morning, I remember thinking, well, that sounds like that

347
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>show I listened to yesterday. But the pauses, to me

348
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>are what made it give it that little edge of

349
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>human of humanity. So I don't know, I don't know

350
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.519
<v Speaker 1>we're listening to we're listening to the same thing, but

351
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:27.119
<v Speaker 1>maybe it is two different things. It just it was

352
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just so creepy.

353
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Now that the thing that makes this extra creepy for

354
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 3>me is have have you guys ever heard of the

355
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.359
<v Speaker 3>dead Internet theory?

356
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:34.960
<v Speaker 4>No?

357
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:39.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so this is I please listeners be aware. I

358
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 3>am putting on my tinfoil hat for this, So I'm

359
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.680
<v Speaker 3>just gonna throw that out there. The dead Internet theory

360
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.759
<v Speaker 3>started around twenty twenty one. Of course, it started with

361
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 3>like a four Chan post, which you know, fastioning of

362
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.400
<v Speaker 3>good information there. But the dead Internet theory was basically

363
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 3>that actual organic human interaction on the Internet that has

364
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 3>been on a steady decline, replaced instead with bots and

365
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 3>algorithmically created content, so that you have no idea because

366
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.680
<v Speaker 3>of the pure anonymity of the Internet, for example, for Chune,

367
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Reddit coorra sites like that where it's just you pick

368
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:20.599
<v Speaker 3>a user name and that's it, that you have no

369
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 3>idea whether you're actually interfacing with an organic, live human

370
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.480
<v Speaker 3>being or a bot created by somebody else. And now

371
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.920
<v Speaker 3>we've got this stuff that can create you know, a

372
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 3>pseudo sounding radio show to go on top of it.

373
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm just like, oh, this is great. I'm not gonna

374
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 3>wake up at three a m. With an existential crisis

375
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:42.400
<v Speaker 3>of what's actually real.

376
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:43.920
<v Speaker 1>That's not gonna happen at all.

377
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Hey, thanks Andy, I really appreciate that one. Like people

378
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.279
<v Speaker 3>are like, ah, the dead Internet. There is just I'm like,

379
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:54.960
<v Speaker 3>it might have been, but we are. Somebody looked at

380
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 3>that in twenty one and was like, oh damn, that's

381
00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.559
<v Speaker 3>like a really good idea.

382
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 4>Sleep again. We bet if like AI got real.

383
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.079
<v Speaker 3>And now somebody at Google is just like, oh, yep, yeah,

384
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 3>let me just make a product that can do that

385
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.359
<v Speaker 3>for you. That's fine.

386
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I tested this out by uploading a story from last

387
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>year about a fireworks festival that happens here in Saladita

388
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>And it was just a short little blurb, a press release,

389
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and it took the two people talking about the event. Well,

390
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it blew me away. Is they pronounced sabwdita the correct way.

391
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.599
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people call it serena or are they

392
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:34.519
<v Speaker 1>give it a different name, but they actually pronounced it right.

393
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 1>And again that that just blew me away. It makes

394
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>me wonder in light of radio, and you know, radio

395
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>is competing with so many different technologies now, radio broadcasting slick.

396
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.839
<v Speaker 1>I just wonder. You know, you've heard stories about there's

397
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>one big, huge radio group out there that has had

398
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you know AI DJs that has been doing that. You

399
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.440
<v Speaker 1>know radio station says, well, we serve the market. Could

400
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 1>take that uploaded and it could be running on the air,

401
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know some people wouldn't even have any idea

402
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 1>that that's what was going on.

403
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's that's sad. That's sad. By the way, matter

404
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.359
<v Speaker 4>you awake or is this are you asleep? Look at

405
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 4>the look on this face.

406
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I love that you're talking about.

407
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, when humanity is dead and gone, there's still going

408
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:27.480
<v Speaker 3>to be like podcast getting pumped out, radio broadcast going.

409
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:29.640
<v Speaker 3>The aliens are going to show up and just be like, dude,

410
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.200
<v Speaker 3>we got to get off this planet. I got to

411
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 3>think through some things now just says I did not

412
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:34.400
<v Speaker 3>sign up for this tonight.

413
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're gonna try and Sean bumped out. We're

414
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 1>not sure what happened to a signal. We're gonna try

415
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and see if we get shown back. We do have

416
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.599
<v Speaker 1>to take a quick break. We'll be back with more

417
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>of tech talk Radio.

418
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Matt Jones.

419
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 4>And I am Slick. Our website is tech talk radio

420
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:49.720
<v Speaker 4>dot com.

421
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.200
<v Speaker 3>We'll be right back now back to tech talk Radio.

422
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.720
<v Speaker 3>So I was talking earlier about, you know, with AI

423
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 3>creating the cover letters, things like that, My wife and

424
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.279
<v Speaker 3>I have found this this awesome dog park shout up

425
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:11.200
<v Speaker 3>to skip Town, Denver. This this place is like it

426
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 3>sandals for dogs, like they do grooming, training, boarding, daycare.

427
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:22.799
<v Speaker 3>And then they've got this giant open dog park that

428
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 3>now also has a splash pad. The whole thing's turfed.

429
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 3>There's like six attendants out at anytime. They have a

430
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:32.720
<v Speaker 3>rule that like no waste of any kind can be

431
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.599
<v Speaker 3>on the turf for more than thirty seconds.

432
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow.

433
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.559
<v Speaker 3>So like you'll see a dog like mark a table

434
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 3>and somebody's immediately like following right behind, sprays it up

435
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 3>and starting Wednesday they'll have a full bar. Well hopefully

436
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Wednesday they'll have a full bar. And they currently have

437
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 3>a coffee shop. The reason I bring this up is

438
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 3>because that's where I've actually been working out of for

439
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 3>like the past week. We'll get up, load up one

440
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 3>of the dogs, and we'll take them and just let

441
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:58.200
<v Speaker 3>them go play for like three four hours.

442
00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

443
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.680
<v Speaker 3>That's also why I bought my MacBook, my MacBook Pro,

444
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 3>so I had something to do that with. But I

445
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 3>discovered when I was there after like the first trip,

446
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 3>I was like one monitor, the nerd that I am

447
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 3>does not cut it. So I I had mentioned that

448
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:17.319
<v Speaker 3>to Lee, and because uh, you know, Google is ever

449
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.759
<v Speaker 3>present and always watching, I had an ad targeted to

450
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.640
<v Speaker 3>me a few days later, and I just got the

451
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 3>product over the weekend. And it's called mon Duo m

452
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.160
<v Speaker 3>O n duo all right, Onduo dot com?

453
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a website? Or is monduo dot co?

454
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:33.519
<v Speaker 1>All right? Cool?

455
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.240
<v Speaker 3>And it comes in two versions. It comes in a

456
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 3>version for fourteen inch laptops and a version for sixteen

457
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 3>inch laptops. Mon Duo is short for Monitor Duo, so

458
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:46.839
<v Speaker 3>it's a little thicker than the current MacBook pros. But

459
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:50.880
<v Speaker 3>it basically you fold it open and then it like

460
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.880
<v Speaker 3>expands a bit and then clamps onto your monitor screen.

461
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:57.240
<v Speaker 3>You plug in two USBC cables and now I have

462
00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 3>three monitors anywhere.

463
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 1>I got oh wow.

464
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.359
<v Speaker 3>And this, I will admit it is not the cheapest

465
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 3>of the solutions that it was like seven fifty for

466
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.880
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing, but they're one hundred and forty four

467
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:17.480
<v Speaker 3>hertz five hundred knits for brightness, and they've actually got

468
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 3>like the full resolution and can match or even surpass

469
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.640
<v Speaker 3>the brand new retina display on my MacBook Pro.

470
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow. So they're not cheap. I mean they're cheap quality.

471
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>They're built well.

472
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.319
<v Speaker 3>They're built very well. It's got a great feel to it.

473
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 3>It's not one of those where like when you open it,

474
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 3>you're like this is gonna shattered in like two seconds,

475
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 3>and you know clamps on that you can either use

476
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.720
<v Speaker 3>USBC or Thunderbolt four I think is the other version.

477
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 3>But then each side also has Mini HDMI if you

478
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:50.559
<v Speaker 3>need that as well, and with the MacBook Pro. And

479
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:53.279
<v Speaker 3>as you guys know how many times I've railed against

480
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Mac stuff against Apple stuff on this show.

481
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:57.039
<v Speaker 1>It is my shtick.

482
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 3>It's right there with Justin's. But this was great because

483
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.640
<v Speaker 3>I just plugged it in on both sides. It was

484
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.200
<v Speaker 3>instantly recognized, instantly expanded the displays, set the resolution in

485
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.680
<v Speaker 3>brightness to match everything else, adopted over my wallpaper. And

486
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:14.079
<v Speaker 3>now I'm sitting there at the table in this dog

487
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 3>park watching my dog have a ball with three monitors

488
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 3>spread straight across, and they're all the same size, in

489
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 3>a nice beautiful line. And anyone who has set up

490
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.079
<v Speaker 3>multiple monitors before, no is one of the greatest pet

491
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.759
<v Speaker 3>peeves is when you've got like two in a line

492
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 3>and that third one's just sitting like that little bit lower. Yes,

493
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.759
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, frustrated, and you're just like, oh great, I

494
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.960
<v Speaker 3>gotta redrill the whole mount into the wall or find

495
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.240
<v Speaker 3>some cardboard or but they're perfectly lined supported. It's got

496
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:44.680
<v Speaker 3>a little kickstand. I'm I can do full work remote anywhere.

497
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Now with those three monitors.

498
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:47.599
<v Speaker 4>Are the kickstands on the back of each of those

499
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.240
<v Speaker 4>two monitors? Do they have one freach?

500
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 3>It's just in the middle and it just it's it

501
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.839
<v Speaker 3>folds down and then sits in place. And just because

502
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:01.759
<v Speaker 3>you have the clamp providing pressure on the sides, gravity

503
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.839
<v Speaker 3>having it at the top and that little kickstand is

504
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit of extra. I mean, my my

505
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 3>dog was running around bumping the table the whole time,

506
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:10.000
<v Speaker 3>and the monitors were steady.

507
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Man, it was it was great.

508
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 4>Can you move them back and forward with the kickstand?

509
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.440
<v Speaker 4>Can you adjust how you know how far back it

510
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.240
<v Speaker 4>leans or how close it comes?

511
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean you can't do where you have like

512
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.960
<v Speaker 3>one close to you and then like the other two

513
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 3>are like sitting six inches back or anything like that.

514
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 1>It does.

515
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 3>It does like wing in and out, So it can

516
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 3>either be in a straight line or kind of a

517
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:34.119
<v Speaker 3>curve if that's what you talk about.

518
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:34.720
<v Speaker 5>You can do that.

519
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:37.680
<v Speaker 3>So you can just have like three straight across. You

520
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:39.799
<v Speaker 3>can have them kind of bend in and have you know,

521
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 3>your own little laptop cave sitting there in the coffee shop.

522
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm an internet troll. Leave me alone, which is definitely

523
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:48.519
<v Speaker 3>what somebody called me out on today. They were like,

524
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:50.519
<v Speaker 3>so you brought the basement with you, And I was like,

525
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 3>first off, well done. Second off one called for like,

526
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.039
<v Speaker 3>how dare you say something so blatantly accurate?

527
00:25:59.200 --> 00:25:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly.

528
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:00.880
<v Speaker 4>You know.

529
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.200
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I loved about a dual monitors

530
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.359
<v Speaker 1>set up. And I haven't tried the three yet. And

531
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.279
<v Speaker 1>I've got two different monitors that I've tried to make

532
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 1>it happen. The first one I really like. But is

533
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>being able to know. Some people say they just want

534
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to extend their desktop. Others say they want to have

535
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>a separate screen so somebody could watch, you know, Netflix,

536
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 1>or could watch peacock Er or use that for graphs

537
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and have maybe be editing something in the middle. I

538
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.359
<v Speaker 1>like to extend the desktop. Can you do all three?

539
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:35.680
<v Speaker 1>So you have a left screen, middle screen, right screen.

540
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:38.839
<v Speaker 1>It's all one big, gigantic desktop that you can move

541
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:39.440
<v Speaker 1>back and forth.

542
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's that's how it set up. When I

543
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.039
<v Speaker 3>plugged it all in. It doesn't read it as one

544
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 3>one unit what you're talking about, like, for example, the desktop. Yeah,

545
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 3>from my from my desktop, because I have I have

546
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 3>two monitors.

547
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I used to have three.

548
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:55.599
<v Speaker 3>Now my wife has her own computer and I have

549
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.039
<v Speaker 3>two monitors. Guess we're the third one too, mm hmm.

550
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:03.720
<v Speaker 3>But when I had three, a MD has something called ifinity,

551
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:08.039
<v Speaker 3>and on software side, it'll actually group all those together

552
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 3>as one solid display.

553
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 1>It does it.

554
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I would have to tweak around because that's more of

555
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 3>a software thing on the Mac side, but it does.

556
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.200
<v Speaker 3>You have monitor one, two, three, and I can seamlessly

557
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.039
<v Speaker 3>drag between all three of those windows like it's nothing.

558
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.119
<v Speaker 4>Now you're using the fourteen inch MacBook. I know on

559
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 4>the sixteen inch MacBooks they have on each side, left

560
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.000
<v Speaker 4>and right they have two USB c ports. What do

561
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:33.720
<v Speaker 4>you have the same? I have the same.

562
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:39.640
<v Speaker 3>The Mandua comes with a short USBC or thunderbolt. It's

563
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.759
<v Speaker 3>the same bloody thing. They have a short cable and

564
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:46.039
<v Speaker 3>a long cable, so you can do like you can.

565
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:48.759
<v Speaker 3>I just use the two on the left to keep

566
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.039
<v Speaker 3>the right side free so I'm right handed if I

567
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:52.799
<v Speaker 3>want to plug a flash drive or something in, so

568
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 3>I do the long cable from the right monitor, looping around,

569
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:58.839
<v Speaker 3>plugging in on the left side, and then the short

570
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 3>cable from the left side of the left side, and

571
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.279
<v Speaker 3>that still leaves me a free USB sport on the

572
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:05.599
<v Speaker 3>right side of my MacBook Pro.

573
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you thinking about getting now, like a like a

574
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 1>hub so that you could add more devices? Because that's

575
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing we're seeing, especially with laptops and mobile devices.

576
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to find a whole bunch of usbc's, usba's,

577
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, these types of connectors. So maybe a hub

578
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:26.599
<v Speaker 1>to extend your connections and maybe get more.

579
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Don't need to because they have two USB sports per

580
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:31.640
<v Speaker 3>monitor per side.

581
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, so you plug those in, but then you've

582
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.519
<v Speaker 1>got almost like a hub on that monitor itself. Yep, Okay,

583
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.079
<v Speaker 1>now I understand the price too.

584
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:41.480
<v Speaker 3>I was looking at that thing and I was like, oh,

585
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.079
<v Speaker 3>well done, Google ad algorithm.

586
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give you the w on this one.

587
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Like you are creepy, but today you succeeded, very very

588
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 3>well done.

589
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.640
<v Speaker 1>That is good. So I wanted to share with you

590
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:58.240
<v Speaker 1>too that today was the last day for my Android venture.

591
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Going to the Google sold nine XL the pro nine Excel,

592
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:04.039
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I was told, if you're going to

593
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 1>return it, you have fifteen days. Today was the day,

594
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and over the weekend I made sure that I got

595
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.119
<v Speaker 1>the heck use out of it. I was using the

596
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 1>AI on that and I was comparing it, so i'd have,

597
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, my iPhone sitting next to it, and I'd

598
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 1>ask a question to the Google Ai which is Gebini,

599
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and it would give me a really great answer, concise

600
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.039
<v Speaker 1>the info I needed. I would ask Siri and it

601
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 1>would pop up a little little scream, not even repeat

602
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>what I was asking, and I'd have to read it

603
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Speaker 1>if I wanted to. And slick. I don't know about you,

604
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>but you know, when you're doing a radio show and

605
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you're doing show preps, sometimes you just blurt out, Hey,

606
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 1>tell me this, and it gives you the answer. I

607
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:51.759
<v Speaker 1>don't want to have to pick up the phone and

608
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:55.119
<v Speaker 1>read it, and the whole bit. The other reason going

609
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 1>the other reason, the call screener. Uh huh. Apple Yeah,

610
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>does not have a call screener, at least right now.

611
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they do with the new sixteen.

612
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But the call screener in this is great. I've been

613
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:12.200
<v Speaker 1>using it and I love it. You know, you just

614
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you can push a button. It will screen your call

615
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.480
<v Speaker 1>for you and then you could ask can you give

616
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 1>me more info? Or you could pick up that call,

617
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>or you could send it to you know, to voicemail.

618
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So better assistant features call screener. I will say that

619
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the picts are okay with it. The Apple I kind

620
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:31.839
<v Speaker 1>of liked a little better the picts of the video.

621
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>It takes a little while to charge as well, and

622
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.799
<v Speaker 1>the battery life of the iPhone fourteen promac seem to

623
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>be a bit longer than the pixel. I had to

624
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 1>buy a case for that this today, and I ended

625
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.319
<v Speaker 1>up getting this Trras magnetic and it has a kickstand

626
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.640
<v Speaker 1>on it, so you can stand your smartphone while it's

627
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, on your desk, or even lay it sideways

628
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in landscape mode. One problem I was having if you're

629
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody like me, you're going from an iPhone to an Android.

630
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I was getting people who were texting me and I

631
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.000
<v Speaker 1>was not getting the text on my Android device. There

632
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:09.279
<v Speaker 1>was still going to my my iPhone because of course

633
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I keep everything, and even with the iPhone off, I

634
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>turn it on and there were messages. So I was

635
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out why is that happening. People say, hey,

636
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 1>did you get my messages?

637
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Like, no, because you didn't de register the phone from

638
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:23.400
<v Speaker 3>the I Messages service.

639
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Or just turn off the I Messages service. Yeah. You

640
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:28.799
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have the device, you could get in

641
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:31.079
<v Speaker 1>touch with Apple and they could de register it, or

642
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you could go into the iPhone itself and just turn

643
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.279
<v Speaker 1>off I message. I never knew that. So that's why

644
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the I messages. As soon as I'd be within Wi

645
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Fi range, then I would get the get the messages.

646
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.359
<v Speaker 1>So again, hopefully now I will get all the messages.

647
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:49.359
<v Speaker 1>I figured out the apps, and I'm liking it.

648
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:52.839
<v Speaker 4>So like you figured out the apps. That's a strange

649
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.079
<v Speaker 4>that's a strange statement from you. You figured out the apps.

650
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, because you know you could scroll up this way,

651
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>uh huh, you get all the apps, or you can

652
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>take each app and move it to where you want

653
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.400
<v Speaker 1>it to go and eventually get your complete lineup of apps. Arrange.

654
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.759
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I get you all right, which is really good.

655
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Because we did get a question that was sent to us.

656
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Actually it came in last week, and I thought it

657
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.599
<v Speaker 1>was pretty cool because they were listening to this, says, hey,

658
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>guys heard the show last week, which'd be a couple

659
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:25.119
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago, and you were talking about the move

660
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:27.839
<v Speaker 1>from Apple and Android. But I'm wondering. Years ago, I

661
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 1>remembered on iTunes you could organize the apps on the smartphone.

662
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.480
<v Speaker 1>So you connect your smartphone, you go into iTunes on

663
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:38.880
<v Speaker 1>your PC, and there were your screens and you could

664
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.400
<v Speaker 1>move the apps where you wanted to go, and I

665
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>remember them that went away. I remember I was kind

666
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:45.839
<v Speaker 1>of bummed at that too, because I like that anyway.

667
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 1>He said, is there something like this on the Android devices?

668
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.799
<v Speaker 1>And this was from Scott in Tucson. I haven't found

669
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.960
<v Speaker 1>it yet, you guys know if is there anything like this?

670
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.799
<v Speaker 4>And I've never used that feature of arranging the apps

671
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 4>via iTunes and stuff. I've now with iOS eighteen, the

672
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.519
<v Speaker 4>latest version of the operating system, I've noticed I can

673
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.039
<v Speaker 4>now put icons in specific locations.

674
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 1>You can always do that, can't you.

675
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 3>No, the longest time, you couldn't, which is why Android

676
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:19.559
<v Speaker 3>users were dying laughing when Apple's like this brand new,

677
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 3>innovative feature and we were like, brand new, what We've

678
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 3>had that for over a decade, My dude, Yes it's

679
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.720
<v Speaker 3>not new. You are copying our old notebook.

680
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, new one. I you know, the movie in the

681
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>apps has been a bit of a chore, But now

682
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:41.039
<v Speaker 1>once I'm getting them set up, I'm really beginning to

683
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 1>really like it. And again, it takes great And this

684
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.319
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a joke a couple of years ago

685
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>when I was doing the morning show over at one

686
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:52.359
<v Speaker 1>O seven and we were talking about the fact that

687
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.759
<v Speaker 1>my co host Dakota, her husband would take pictures of

688
00:33:56.799 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 1>the moon with his Samsung device. Look great. It's just

689
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.599
<v Speaker 1>so excited about the pictures of the moon. But how

690
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:05.640
<v Speaker 1>often am I going to go take pictures of the moon.

691
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:10.159
<v Speaker 1>And it's true, they look great on Android devices. iPhones

692
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:11.440
<v Speaker 1>not so much.

693
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:16.000
<v Speaker 3>That's because the Pixel devices have a and the Samsungs

694
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:19.639
<v Speaker 3>as well have a specific with specific models. They have

695
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 3>a literal astrophotography mode where you get your phone on

696
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:27.800
<v Speaker 3>a stable surface or something and you do night sight

697
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.280
<v Speaker 3>and then a few seconds later the phones like, oh,

698
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:32.800
<v Speaker 3>you're doing astrophotography. Do you want me to switch to

699
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 3>that mode? And you're like, yes, absolutely do it and

700
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 3>you can take amazing astro pictures with that. Absolutely blew

701
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:42.239
<v Speaker 3>my mind the first time I did it.

702
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Now, Scott intoson one thing you can do with the

703
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Android device, if you're thinking about it, is easily connected

704
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to your Windows eleven PC. If you've got a Windows

705
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 1>eleven PC, you can get your text messages on your computer,

706
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:59.280
<v Speaker 1>you can get your phone calls connected on your computer,

707
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you could read your mail messages. So again that's something

708
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:05.239
<v Speaker 1>to take a look at. And I went ahead and

709
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>set it up, and I was like, Okay, that's kind

710
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.679
<v Speaker 1>of cool. You know, I do wish you could organize

711
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the apps that way, But no, it looks like that's

712
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:14.159
<v Speaker 1>something that went away some years ago.

713
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.559
<v Speaker 4>Microsoft phone Link, I think it is called.

714
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, phone link is what it is.

715
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:21.000
<v Speaker 3>You've got that for Windows ten as well. Oh not

716
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.719
<v Speaker 3>just eleven, it's also Windows ten. The other nice thing

717
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:27.000
<v Speaker 3>about like, yes, the initial setup, getting your apps where

718
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:29.000
<v Speaker 3>you want them, everything like that, it's a pain. I'm

719
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 3>not going to disagree. But once you have that done,

720
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:36.000
<v Speaker 3>when your phone does the it's backup, all those positions,

721
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.440
<v Speaker 3>everything like that are saved as part of the backup.

722
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:44.559
<v Speaker 3>So say that phone had an unfortunate accident with gravity

723
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.159
<v Speaker 3>or something, or you know, a drink out spilled on it.

724
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Nick got fried, You get your new one. Sign in

725
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:51.599
<v Speaker 3>your Google account says hey, do you want to restore

726
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:54.760
<v Speaker 3>from this latest backup which it stores up in the

727
00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.199
<v Speaker 3>Google drive. Say yes, pulls it all down. Apps go

728
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.679
<v Speaker 3>in the same places you all, only you have to

729
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:01.199
<v Speaker 3>do it once.

730
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

731
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:02.360
<v Speaker 4>I like that.

732
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:04.960
<v Speaker 1>That is good news. Didn't even know about that one all.

733
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Are we gonna take another quick break. We got a

734
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:09.039
<v Speaker 1>couple of more listener questions. We'll get to coming up

735
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:11.280

<v Speaker 1>Matt, you got a question that you you kind of

746
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:44.599
<v Speaker 1>thought was a good one.

747
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.199
<v Speaker 3>Sure, Sorry, just had to reboot from my brain breaking

748
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:52.679
<v Speaker 3>from digesting. We do an AI jingle. Carry has a

749
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.679
<v Speaker 3>question coming in. I think I'm dumbfounded by my Wi

750
00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Fi hotspot situation. I've been using my phone hotspot, but

751
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.960
<v Speaker 3>apparently my unlimited hotspot is limited, so I run out

752
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.760
<v Speaker 3>and can't watch TV. I'm struggling here trying to figure

753
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 3>out figured it out. I'm told that t mobile is

754
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:08.519
<v Speaker 3>a thingy I would need, but I can't get it.

755
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:10.719
<v Speaker 3>What it is, I'm not sure and maybe somebody else

756
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:12.320
<v Speaker 3>makes this little thingy that I can buy.

757
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Question is what do I need?

758
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:18.480
<v Speaker 3>So this comes across as a two part of question,

759
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:22.880
<v Speaker 3>but it's actually not, Harry. What you are talking about

760
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.840
<v Speaker 3>is actually something that I noticed with my own cell

761
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:30.559
<v Speaker 3>phone plan the other day. I have Google Five's Unlimited

762
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Unlimited super Duper Premium Plus and it lists on there,

763
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, unlimited this, unlimited that, and then you'll see

764
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.639
<v Speaker 3>unlimited hotspot data with that tiny little asterisks, and I

765
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:45.519
<v Speaker 3>can never say that word correctly, so I'm hoping I

766
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.320
<v Speaker 3>was close enough. But when you go down and you

767
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:50.599
<v Speaker 3>read the terms and conditions for that, most of them

768
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 3>what they say with their you know, quote unlimited hotspot

769
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:57.480
<v Speaker 3>is you get fifty gigs or twenty five gigs or

770
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:01.480
<v Speaker 3>whatever your plan is saying, you get of, you know,

771
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.519
<v Speaker 3>like five G hotspot data. And then when you go

772
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.559
<v Speaker 3>over that, it's not that you lose that data, it's

773
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.159
<v Speaker 3>that that data then and they'll usually list it is

774
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 3>then like throttle down to like two hundred something killabytes

775
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:15.400
<v Speaker 3>per second.

776
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow.

777
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Now for comparison's sake, five G you're I mean five G.

778
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:22.360
<v Speaker 3>Last time I checked on my phone was approaching like

779
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:25.280
<v Speaker 3>gig speeds that's like gigabit per second, and then you

780
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.679
<v Speaker 3>go from gigabit to megabit to kill a bit, so

781
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:29.760
<v Speaker 3>as you can see that as a drastic drop off.

782
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.320
<v Speaker 3>So this is not so much what thingy you need

783
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:36.079
<v Speaker 3>to find, it's you need to check your cell phone

784
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.840
<v Speaker 3>plan with your provider and see what type of hotspot

785
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:43.519
<v Speaker 3>data limits you have, because even the unlimited ones aren't

786
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:47.199
<v Speaker 3>truly unlimited. If I use over X amount of mobile

787
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:50.840
<v Speaker 3>data on my quote unlimited plan, I still get data.

788
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.639
<v Speaker 3>It is an unlimited amount of data. I just don't

789
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 3>get unlimited data at that speed. So the reason you

790
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:00.639
<v Speaker 3>can't watch the TV is because the it has gone

791
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:05.320
<v Speaker 3>from a fire hose to a trickling, kinked garden hose. Yeah,

792
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.280
<v Speaker 3>and you're trying to move the same amount of data

793
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:07.639
<v Speaker 3>through it.

794
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Is there any service out there that we could think

795
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 1>of that will just give you the Wi Fi features

796
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:19.199
<v Speaker 1>that somebody wants to watch, Hulu, Peacock, whatever twenty four

797
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to seven could be able to do? Or is that

798
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:23.840
<v Speaker 1>just I mean, would starlink be something like a solution.

799
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Maybe starlink would be a solution for that, depending on

800
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.519
<v Speaker 3>what plan you got. I know they've been trying to

801
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 3>slash prices to get people down to that. The one

802
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:37.320
<v Speaker 3>that I honestly do with my phone is hey, going

803
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.320
<v Speaker 3>back to what we're just talking about with Google Pixels.

804
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:45.880
<v Speaker 3>With my Google Fi membership, I get a free Google

805
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 3>VPN hard cooked into my phone, so I will turn

806
00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:54.920
<v Speaker 3>on my Google VPN and jump on like Panera's free

807
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.400
<v Speaker 3>WiFi or you know, the McDonald's around the corner or

808
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.639
<v Speaker 3>something like that, because traditionally, speaking is the security guy.

809
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:04.719
<v Speaker 3>When you jump on free Wi Fi, it's not it's

810
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.559
<v Speaker 3>not going to be secure if there's no password and

811
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:09.679
<v Speaker 3>you can just hop on. There's a whole bunch of

812
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:12.679
<v Speaker 3>things that people can do if you then jump on

813
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:14.960
<v Speaker 3>that and you're behind your own VP and you're adding

814
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:17.639
<v Speaker 3>in your own layer of security with that, and that

815
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:20.239
<v Speaker 3>cuts down the amount of data you're using because it's

816
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 3>not you're not using your mobile data plan. You're using

817
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:25.480
<v Speaker 3>somebody else's free Wi Fi, right.

818
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.599
<v Speaker 1>And that's if they're nearby. If you're in the stick,

819
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.079
<v Speaker 1>you're you're somewhere, that's yeah, what can you're out.

820
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:35.760
<v Speaker 3>And all you have is a cell signal. I mean

821
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:38.199
<v Speaker 3>your your hands are kind of tied there.

822
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're gonna be difficult on that one. So uh yeah,

823
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:43.960
<v Speaker 1>so there is no thinging that we know that we know.

824
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I like the the description of thigging slick. How do

825
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you watch your your shows? Because I know you've always

826
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:52.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of gone intenna.

827
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:56.079
<v Speaker 4>Generally, yes, antenna, but there are some streaming stuff that

828
00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:58.000
<v Speaker 4>I do. But first time, we say, Matt, I'm so

829
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:01.400
<v Speaker 4>glad you you explained this whole unlimited thing. Thank you,

830
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:05.639
<v Speaker 4>thank you for it was because yeah, like like he

831
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:07.719
<v Speaker 4>said that there's an asterisk.

832
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:12.880
<v Speaker 3>There, it's unlimited kind of yeah, exactly.

833
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:16.639
<v Speaker 4>Now I'm doing the standard Cox thing as well as

834
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:21.159
<v Speaker 4>the free Wi Fi hotspots kind of thing. I don't

835
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:24.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't even think I get close because I'm so

836
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:29.239
<v Speaker 4>cheap to my uh my limit. We are we getting

837
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.199
<v Speaker 4>a terabyte tearabyte in a half now generally with internet

838
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:33.440
<v Speaker 4>service providers.

839
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think or even two two terabytes. Yeah, I

840
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:41.639
<v Speaker 1>remember what I can't pay for tabytes?

841
00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:42.039
<v Speaker 5>That was it?

842
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I've been I've been doing all

843
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:48.800
<v Speaker 4>the freebies. I've been doing the you know, well, well

844
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 4>freak three bees and there's this free v and then

845
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.840
<v Speaker 4>there's a Pluto and Zumo and two.

846
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Bright We see that's three free v is h Amazon Amazon, Yeah, yeah,

847
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:04.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, see I was thinking. See I was thinking

848
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:06.119
<v Speaker 1>of the same thing of doing, you know, cutting the cord.

849
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm paying a lot of money to Exfinity,

850
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and we've got a company coming out now called ting

851
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 1>in my area that is providing fiber and it's like

852
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:20.840
<v Speaker 1>eighty five bucks a month, I guess, uh for uh

853
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.000
<v Speaker 1>for quite a bit of bandwidth. But see, I'm one

854
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.159
<v Speaker 1>of those that I put it on. I leave the

855
00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:28.159
<v Speaker 1>TV on all night. It's kind of I go to

856
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:31.400
<v Speaker 1>sleep to it. It's just the way that I've been,

857
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:33.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, raised in the whole bit. So I got

858
00:42:33.639 --> 00:42:35.800
<v Speaker 1>it on a Hallmark all night, and I'm thinking, okay,

859
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:38.480
<v Speaker 1>if I was, if I was to have it on

860
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Golden Girls, yes, or the whole Mark

861
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the Golden Girls.

862
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:48.199
<v Speaker 3>And I'm I'm sorry to interrupt, but you fall asleep

863
00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:52.280
<v Speaker 3>to Big City Girl goes into the Country and Mary's

864
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:56.400
<v Speaker 3>the apple cider orchard owner that she went to high

865
00:42:56.440 --> 00:43:00.840
<v Speaker 3>school with, or some pumpkin spice flavor of the Sometimes

866
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:04.119
<v Speaker 3>I fall asleep to that channel, Yes I do. But

867
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 3>I wake up judging you so hard. I'm not even

868
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:12.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna be polite about it, man, Like.

869
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:16.159
<v Speaker 1>But I wake up the freezer, like, yeah, it's feel

870
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:16.639
<v Speaker 1>good TV.

871
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:21.400
<v Speaker 4>But like, I mean, like Walmart, come I've been waiting for.

872
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.840
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing I'm so used to that if

873
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I have the TV on all night, that's eating a bandwidth.

874
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.280
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, you know, whether I'm watching that or

875
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Central or whatever, I'm eating up the bandwidth. I'm

876
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:38.800
<v Speaker 1>thinking I'm gonna go through that pretty quick. So again,

877
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:40.119
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be a big adjustment.

878
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:41.599
<v Speaker 4>How much you're paying now though.

879
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred and sixty eight dollars a month. Whoh yeah,

880
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:46.119
<v Speaker 1>And I've got.

881
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:50.599
<v Speaker 3>I pay sixty five bucks a month for a century

882
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Link fiber coming directly into my house, gig up, gig down,

883
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:55.800
<v Speaker 3>and I have no caps.

884
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But do you watch you have any uh like television

885
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:02.119
<v Speaker 1>that come with that too? I don't need it.

886
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 3>If I want television, I'll sign up for YouTube TV.

887
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.760
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I'm thinking, Yeah, YouTube tea. And I

888
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:12.440
<v Speaker 3>only sign up for YouTube TV for one very specific

889
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.159
<v Speaker 3>time of the year. And that specific time of the

890
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:17.800
<v Speaker 3>year is gloriously called football season.

891
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Ah yeah. See for me, it's October on Hallmark because

892
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that's when the holiday movies start appearing.

893
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:30.840
<v Speaker 4>We go, it's always going back to the Hallmark channel.

894
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, and just like, can you just see him waving

895
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.199
<v Speaker 3>the red flag in front of me? Just like, oh Tooro,

896
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:40.639
<v Speaker 3>come on, I know you wanna.

897
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:44.760
<v Speaker 4>So so with the with Ting, here's I do have

898
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.360
<v Speaker 4>a question. And if you can't answer it now, Andy,

899
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:49.719
<v Speaker 4>it's cool because you're just getting you're considering or just

900
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.199
<v Speaker 4>getting started with them. I have had meetings with Ting,

901
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:56.000
<v Speaker 4>and Ting was purchased by two cows, right right right, okay,

902
00:44:56.280 --> 00:45:00.360
<v Speaker 4>so I'm interested in finding out, you know later, probably

903
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:05.400
<v Speaker 4>your experiences with tying, the features all that stuff.

904
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're basically tearing up the street right now, putting

905
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:13.360
<v Speaker 1>in their fiber and they've already marked in my box

906
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:15.599
<v Speaker 1>they marked by the street, so they're going to be

907
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>doing that. And they've got an introductory where you know,

908
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:20.760
<v Speaker 1>first month is free. Then after I think I want

909
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:22.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not quite. I think it's like eighty five bucks

910
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:27.079
<v Speaker 1>a month, which is about half of what I'm paying

911
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:32.760
<v Speaker 1>right now just for that for the internet. And then

912
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:34.719
<v Speaker 1>you have to then you add if I switch to

913
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:37.519
<v Speaker 1>YouTube TV, I'm saving about one hundred bucks right there.

914
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So again and then there's certain deals. That's why I

915
00:45:41.039 --> 00:45:42.960
<v Speaker 1>think He'sfinity is doing a lot of deals right now,

916
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:45.199
<v Speaker 1>as well as Cox Cable going to be doing deals

917
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to bundle services so that you stay with them, so

918
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:51.719
<v Speaker 1>you'll get a better deal because you know you're paying.

919
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>You pay Hulu Disney sixteen seventeen bucks, you pay Netflix

920
00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:58.800
<v Speaker 1>seventeen bucks. You know that all adds up.

921
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:07.039
<v Speaker 3>So it's the new Cox Communications discount. Please don't leave us. Yeah,

922
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.239
<v Speaker 3>but Andy, I did just check it for you. According

923
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:13.079
<v Speaker 3>to Gemini AI, there we go, looping back to AI

924
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:17.119
<v Speaker 3>and breaking my brain. Paying Internet does not impose data

925
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:19.719
<v Speaker 3>caps on its fiber Internet plans, and they do not

926
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:23.280
<v Speaker 3>have contracts or termination fees as they do not believe

927
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:24.239
<v Speaker 3>in hidden fees.

928
00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:26.079
<v Speaker 4>So you can come a go as you please on this.

929
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:29.199
<v Speaker 3>That's what it looks like, and I mean, that's that's

930
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:31.280
<v Speaker 3>what I have with Century Link. I'm not locked into

931
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:31.639
<v Speaker 3>a plan.

932
00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:32.159
<v Speaker 4>I am.

933
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:35.760
<v Speaker 3>When I signed up, I got a price lock for

934
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:39.599
<v Speaker 3>life guarantee as long as I'm there. It is sixty

935
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:42.000
<v Speaker 3>five bucks a month. Now, Central Link has started changing

936
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.679
<v Speaker 3>over to Quantum. I have not gotten looped into that yet,

937
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:48.280
<v Speaker 3>but from people in my neighborhood have cut over saying

938
00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:51.639
<v Speaker 3>it's the same thing. It is, just it's splitting off.

939
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:56.000
<v Speaker 3>So Quantum is the fiber business and century Link spectrum

940
00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:59.320
<v Speaker 3>that's the other side of the house, right, Yeah, it's

941
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:01.880
<v Speaker 3>it's you know, sixty five sixty seven bucks a month,

942
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:06.480
<v Speaker 3>come and go as you please, no data caps. The

943
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:09.920
<v Speaker 3>only thing that I hope they change is the way

944
00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:14.840
<v Speaker 3>that your your modem authenticates to the divide to like

945
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:20.079
<v Speaker 3>the network. Is this technology called PPPoE right yea where

946
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:22.280
<v Speaker 3>your your stuff comes into your house with a v

947
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.679
<v Speaker 3>land tag and setting that up for like your own

948
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:28.559
<v Speaker 3>firewall and stuff is like there's a point where it's

949
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:30.880
<v Speaker 3>like I gotta call in, I gotta get my password,

950
00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:34.079
<v Speaker 3>I got to break this drywall with my forehead, like

951
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:38.199
<v Speaker 3>I just I will eventually get this working. And then

952
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:40.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, three beers and six hours later you're like,

953
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:43.480
<v Speaker 3>you know what, their router's not that bad. That's fine,

954
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:47.000
<v Speaker 3>that's that works. I'll just throw in some access points

955
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:48.239
<v Speaker 3>in the house and call it a day.

956
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm done, you know what. That's And that's the thing

957
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:53.079
<v Speaker 1>with the cable companies, then the nickel and diming, and

958
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I have friends at work for for

959
00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:59.559
<v Speaker 1>the big cable companies. And you know, I've I've appreciated

960
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the serve Us, but the nickel and diming. You know,

961
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you want a DVR box, you're gonna pay for that.

962
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:09.480
<v Speaker 1>For each box you want you have that's also a converter. Oh,

963
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you also gotta pay for the service for the DVR.

964
00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:14.519
<v Speaker 1>You gotta pay taxes to the city. You gotta pay

965
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.280
<v Speaker 1>a sports tax, even though you maybe don't watch any

966
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:21.000
<v Speaker 1>sports channels. Uh, there's a lot of little things that

967
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:22.559
<v Speaker 1>when you look at your bill and you break it

968
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:24.599
<v Speaker 1>down and you just say, wow, this is just it's

969
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:27.280
<v Speaker 1>just a little crazy. And from what I understand, you

970
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:29.639
<v Speaker 1>go YouTube TV, you don't pay for that d V

971
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:33.840
<v Speaker 1>DVR service. It's part of the YouTube YouTube TV, you

972
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:36.480
<v Speaker 1>know feature, and you get local channels as well.

973
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Now I don't know, well, oh really mostly you get

974
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:42.920
<v Speaker 3>your local channels.

975
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, now, what's what's gonna be better? Hulu TV

976
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that does local as well, or YouTube TV.

977
00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:54.440
<v Speaker 4>Here's my problem because now that there's me TV Tunes

978
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:58.800
<v Speaker 4>right and that's on channel four point four, right, I

979
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.039
<v Speaker 4>want to the service I will consider will give me

980
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:05.079
<v Speaker 4>all of my digital subchannels, or I don't want you

981
00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.480
<v Speaker 4>because I've got to have me TV tunes all right,

982
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:12.119
<v Speaker 4>got to and script news well, script news extreme right.

983
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:13.719
<v Speaker 5>So I don't know.

984
00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:15.599
<v Speaker 1>My main thing would be do you get Fox eleven

985
00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:19.000
<v Speaker 1>because you know I'm on Fox eleven. I want to

986
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:21.000
<v Speaker 1>record myself on the DVR.

987
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:24.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm pretty sure with YouTube tv that you

988
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:27.719
<v Speaker 3>can just check it before you sign up. And the

989
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:29.880
<v Speaker 3>other thing is if you sign up for YouTube tv,

990
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:31.880
<v Speaker 3>you get a seven day free trial.

991
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:33.480
<v Speaker 4>I got two weeks.

992
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:36.679
<v Speaker 3>I got I got seven days because they caught me

993
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:39.239
<v Speaker 3>leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back, and

994
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:43.000
<v Speaker 3>they listen, man, either commit to the relationship or break

995
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:43.599
<v Speaker 3>up with us.

996
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:45.199
<v Speaker 4>Now, I will commit to you.

997
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:49.000
<v Speaker 3>I will commit to you from August through February and

998
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:52.519
<v Speaker 3>then we're done. But that's the other great thing is

999
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:57.400
<v Speaker 3>YouTube tv now also has NFL Red Zone and NFL

1000
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:02.199
<v Speaker 3>Sunday Ticket Perfect can actually bundle together. As my team

1001
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:05.559
<v Speaker 3>is not in town, my wife's team is on the

1002
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:08.199
<v Speaker 3>other side of the country. I was like, oh, so

1003
00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:11.360
<v Speaker 3>we can watch the Raiders Ravens game and fight here

1004
00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:12.719
<v Speaker 3>instead of it like.

1005
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:16.280
<v Speaker 1>A sports bar. That's so much better for everybody. We

1006
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:18.159
<v Speaker 1>got to take another quick break, we come back. We

1007
00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:21.320
<v Speaker 1>got more of tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Matt.

1008
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.920
<v Speaker 4>Jones, and I am Sick. We're on ex tech talk

1009
00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:27.480
<v Speaker 4>Radio as well as Facebook. Look for tech talkers on Facebook.

1010
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:29.760
<v Speaker 6>And now back to tech talk Radio.

1011
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:32.239
<v Speaker 1>So we decided to well, we came back all of

1012
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:35.039
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, Sean was able to come back, so we'd

1013
00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:37.519
<v Speaker 1>make it an all Sean segment of the show. What

1014
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:38.960
<v Speaker 1>do you think, Matt slick?

1015
00:50:39.119 --> 00:50:39.440
<v Speaker 3>We do it.

1016
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:41.519
<v Speaker 4>It's the segments.

1017
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:47.840
<v Speaker 5>So drones are wise your pick and wise no. So

1018
00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:51.119
<v Speaker 5>I'll take one of the listener questions because you guys. Earlier,

1019
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:56.159
<v Speaker 5>Mikey sent us a note via Facebook asking is a

1020
00:50:56.320 --> 00:51:01.119
<v Speaker 5>four core three point four gig processor, sir, than a

1021
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:05.239
<v Speaker 5>fourteen cores two point four gigaharts processor. He's getting a

1022
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:08.039
<v Speaker 5>system together to create some music and wasn't sure what

1023
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:14.400
<v Speaker 5>to think. So that's a loaded question because one is

1024
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:16.000
<v Speaker 5>fast in its own right and the other one is

1025
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:18.840
<v Speaker 5>fast in its own right also, So you have to

1026
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:21.719
<v Speaker 5>look at it like this, right, you have four cores.

1027
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:24.639
<v Speaker 5>If you have four cores, there are four lays I

1028
00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:26.840
<v Speaker 5>think of think of like traffic lanes. Right, there's more

1029
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:30.119
<v Speaker 5>traffic could go across those four lanes. But they can

1030
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:32.000
<v Speaker 5>go at three point four gigahart.

1031
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Speed, so they go at a higher speed.

1032
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:36.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So you're if you're doing a ton of audio

1033
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.960
<v Speaker 5>editing with tons of instruments and tons of post processing

1034
00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:42.760
<v Speaker 5>and tons of effects and tons of plugins, right, you're

1035
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:46.800
<v Speaker 5>gonna jam up those four lanes, right. But if you

1036
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:51.440
<v Speaker 5>add ten more lanes of traffic but they go slightly slower,

1037
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.679
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna be able to process a lot more information

1038
00:51:54.960 --> 00:51:58.679
<v Speaker 5>at the same time. It's just you're not gonna see

1039
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:00.920
<v Speaker 5>too much of an impact from a two point four

1040
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:03.400
<v Speaker 5>to three point four gig. So it all depends on

1041
00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:04.159
<v Speaker 5>what you're trying to do.

1042
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, creating music though that there's going to be

1043
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:10.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different different things that are going to

1044
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:10.880
<v Speaker 1>be a part of that.

1045
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:14.559
<v Speaker 5>Right, So if I were to pick, I would pick

1046
00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:16.760
<v Speaker 5>the one of the fourteen course because it's going to

1047
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:21.000
<v Speaker 5>allow you to do more across If you have a

1048
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:23.320
<v Speaker 5>digital audio you know, a daw a digital audio work station,

1049
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:27.360
<v Speaker 5>and you're running a ton of plugins, right, this is

1050
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.159
<v Speaker 5>going to help you not bottlenanking machine.

1051
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:32.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, But all right, well, what if you could

1052
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:35.320
<v Speaker 1>overclock that two point Because a lot of people they

1053
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:38.679
<v Speaker 1>forget about overclocking. If you could overclock the three point four,

1054
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:41.320
<v Speaker 1>or you overclock the two point four to make it

1055
00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of a three gigor Hurtz processor, you'd be in pretty

1056
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:46.639
<v Speaker 1>good shape with that one, wouldn't you.

1057
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:50.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, overclocking the two point four probably to three or

1058
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:54.400
<v Speaker 5>three point two would probably benefit you. Uh, you just

1059
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:57.880
<v Speaker 5>have to at that point worry about the heat. You know,

1060
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:01.199
<v Speaker 5>you have to worry about your cooling. So hopefully that

1061
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:04.320
<v Speaker 5>answers Mikey's question. Opening the floor to you guys.

1062
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.920
<v Speaker 4>To let you know. Yeah, not a fan of overclocking,

1063
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:09.280
<v Speaker 4>but I will say this because I've dealt with this

1064
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:13.159
<v Speaker 4>a little bit in the past. Depending on what software

1065
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:17.079
<v Speaker 4>you're using, check to see what they recommend in regards

1066
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:20.880
<v Speaker 4>to hardware, because sometimes you'll be using software. Let's say

1067
00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:23.239
<v Speaker 4>you have fourteen cores, You'll using software that only takes

1068
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:24.000
<v Speaker 4>advantage of six.

1069
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, good point.

1070
00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:27.239
<v Speaker 4>It's happened all right.

1071
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.400
<v Speaker 3>From my side, I'm on the opposite side of the fences, Slake,

1072
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:32.840
<v Speaker 3>I've overclocked every machine I've had since I think like

1073
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:38.280
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and six. In terms of heat care for

1074
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:41.719
<v Speaker 3>your CPU, it used to be doing a liquid cooling

1075
00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:45.559
<v Speaker 3>solution was super expensive super involved. Now you can get

1076
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:49.519
<v Speaker 3>the with they're called AIO all in one liquid coolers

1077
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:52.480
<v Speaker 3>and it's a what's called a closed loop system, so

1078
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.079
<v Speaker 3>it's just it comes in a box. It's got the

1079
00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:57.639
<v Speaker 3>part that you set the heat sinc That you set

1080
00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:00.199
<v Speaker 3>on top of your processor, just like anything else, and

1081
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:03.639
<v Speaker 3>then there's two little raided tubes coming out of it

1082
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:06.519
<v Speaker 3>that run to a radiator that most towers now have

1083
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:10.320
<v Speaker 3>a space built in for three fins. Two or three

1084
00:54:10.400 --> 00:54:12.760
<v Speaker 3>fins usually go on top of that, and you've got

1085
00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:15.719
<v Speaker 3>a liquid cooling system that will easily take care of

1086
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:18.679
<v Speaker 3>the heat concerns from overclocking. If you're in a laptop,

1087
00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:21.719
<v Speaker 3>that's a completely different kettle of fish, and you have

1088
00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:25.760
<v Speaker 3>to be careful with overclocking there because laptops natively are

1089
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:29.760
<v Speaker 3>not going to be as irmly regulatable as a tower,

1090
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:32.599
<v Speaker 3>and there is a chance you could cook something if

1091
00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:33.280
<v Speaker 3>you're not careful.

1092
00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:35.280
<v Speaker 1>You burn your legs too. You don't want to.

1093
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:40.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's why for the longest time, Apple stopped referring

1094
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:44.920
<v Speaker 3>to MacBook pros as laptops and as mobile computers because

1095
00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:46.559
<v Speaker 3>they did not want you to put them on your

1096
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:48.760
<v Speaker 3>lap because you would burn your lap.

1097
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Don't do that, all right, listen we missing. We have

1098
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:54.079
<v Speaker 1>run out of time for this week. Thank you so

1099
00:54:54.199 --> 00:54:56.599
<v Speaker 1>much for tuning again, and hopefully you'll be able to

1100
00:54:56.639 --> 00:54:58.960
<v Speaker 1>get with us next week. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean
