Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some of this tech news
Speaker 1: for this week. We all are very much aware of
Speaker 1: what happened on July nineteenth with the CrowdStrike software update
Speaker 1: that basically vapor locked a lot of programs on the
Speaker 1: Internet and the airlines. Well, Adam Myers, the company's senior
Speaker 1: vice president of counter Adversary Operations, was front and center
Speaker 1: before the House Homeland Security Cyber Security Committee yesterday, trying
Speaker 1: to explain what had happened and apologizing profusely.
Speaker 3: How much did they did they total out that that caused? Financially?
Speaker 3: Did they ever?
Speaker 1: Eight point five million systems crashed? That's just the systems themselves,
Speaker 1: and then all of the clients of said systems, which
Speaker 1: are us the end users. Well, they didn't.
Speaker 2: Total it's got to be billions.
Speaker 1: The guy I got to give him credit for trying
Speaker 1: to break it down into easy to understand terms as
Speaker 1: to what essentially happened, he described it as, quote, trying
Speaker 1: to move a chess piece from where there wasn't a square.
Speaker 1: Try to move a chess piece into it. You can't
Speaker 1: do that. It's not available. And that was what that
Speaker 1: update was like. It was not compatible with these eight
Speaker 1: point five billion systems that.
Speaker 3: They should have got kt in there. Kt r it
Speaker 3: genius could have taken care of that. He scares me
Speaker 3: how smart he is? I know he really does.
Speaker 1: Meta had their Connect Developer conference yesterday and Mark Zuckerberg,
Speaker 1: CEO of Meta, was showing off a futuristic pair of
Speaker 1: smart glasses the company hopes will lead to the next
Speaker 1: foundational shift in personal computing. This is called Oriyan O'Ryan.
Speaker 1: He also showed off their more affordable Oculus Quest three
Speaker 1: S virtual reality headset and it's improved AI powered ray
Speaker 1: Ban Meta smart glasses, but everybody was focused on this
Speaker 1: Orion prototype which he had brought out. It features a
Speaker 1: holographic display inside the glasses that Zuckerberg said has been
Speaker 1: in the works for ten years. He emphasized that these
Speaker 1: glasses are only of right now to developers. They are
Speaker 1: not your typical smart display, and he said he made
Speaker 1: uh the case that these kind of glasses will be
Speaker 1: so interactive that they will literally overtake smartphones for many needs.
Speaker 3: Oh God, something else we're all gonna have to buy now.
Speaker 3: I'm not giving in. I'm not going to communicate through
Speaker 3: glasses to somebody. I'm just gonna have a conversation like this. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. Gave you a warning about this
Speaker 3: a while back. It's now happening. Disney Plus is officially
Speaker 3: cracking down on passwords sharing. It may be a little
Speaker 3: while before they get to you and bust you. You'll
Speaker 3: know you're busted when you're informed that, hey, you're not
Speaker 3: on the primary account, But not to worry. For an
Speaker 3: additional six ninety nine a month, you can add one
Speaker 3: other person, or if you're on Disney Plus Premium, it'll
Speaker 3: be nine to ninety nine extra a month to add
Speaker 3: one extra person.
Speaker 1: So it does know that's coming. If you have Disney
Speaker 1: Plus and you're sharing passwords.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be Disney Police are on their way.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be minus on your Disney Plus. Just after
Speaker 1: Google rolled out their latest streaming device, replacing the Chrome Cast,
Speaker 1: here comes Roku with their updated Ultra. Ultra is the
Speaker 1: top of the line Roku streaming player. I've got one
Speaker 1: of those on one of my TVs. Love it, run it,
Speaker 1: and that's the older model. Now brand new one rolling out.
Speaker 1: Gonna be the same price, but under the hood a
Speaker 1: lot of improvements. So if you're looking to buy a
Speaker 1: new streaming gadget this and you like the rokup you
Speaker 1: know style, the new one going to cost the same
Speaker 1: as the current Roku right around one hundred bucks, and
Speaker 1: you can usually get it for more. Sometimes they'll run
Speaker 1: it as much as twenty five thirty bucks off, so
Speaker 1: keep your eyes open. It's thirty percent faster than the predecessor,
Speaker 1: and the current one is fast. There'll be a Wi
Speaker 1: Fi six support, which will cut down on loading times
Speaker 1: if your home Wi Fi system offers Wi Fi six.
Speaker 1: What else comes with an HDMI cable, so that saves
Speaker 1: you a little bit there, and it will also be
Speaker 1: compatible with all of the HDR formats HDR ten, HDR
Speaker 1: ten Plus and Dolby Vision also Dolby atmost audio and

Speaker 1: You always got to give Taco an AI related story
Speaker 1: because he hates AI. A lot of restaurants now, especially
Speaker 1: the high end ones, are starting to replace reservation takers with.
Speaker 2: AI.
Speaker 1: Hosts call up to make a reservation for you know,
Speaker 1: a restaurant, Hi, I need to see if I can
Speaker 1: get in there on Friday nine.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got the artificial intelligence hosts now answering the
Speaker 1: phone and taking your reservation.
Speaker 3: So there you go, host and hostesses out of a
Speaker 3: job thanks to AI.
Speaker 1: Seeing this in some of the bigger cities New York, Miami, Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and San Francisco, multiple restaurants rolling that technology out.
Speaker 3: And squeeze them with a little you know, grease and
Speaker 3: with a little twenty era fitty.
Speaker 1: The United States is reportedly considering a ban on connected
Speaker 1: car technology based out of Russia and China. I think
Speaker 1: that's probably a good idea. Concerns are on the upswing
Speaker 1: that software and hardware and connected cars could be used
Speaker 1: by foreign adversaries to collect data on Americans and hack vehicles.
Speaker 1: If the proposed regulations are approved, the band would start
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven model vehicles and would affect the
Speaker 1: import or use of software from the designated countries. And
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. We'll end on this. Belief
Speaker 1: that electric vehicles are better for the environments has fallen
Speaker 1: in the United States over six percent in just the
Speaker 1: last two years as more and more information comes out
Speaker 1: about electric vehicles and specifically concerns about these batteries and
Speaker 1: what ultimately happens with all these batteries has people going huh,
Speaker 1: you know what, uh huh, maybe this isn't all it's
Speaker 1: cracked up to be yet stress on yet, And we'd
Speaker 1: like to stress you know, we goof on electric vehicles
Speaker 1: and stuff. It is absolutely a great idea and concept
Speaker 1: and it will get there.
Speaker 2: I know many people that drive them, We love them.
Speaker 1: It will get there to where it needs to be
Speaker 1: where everybody's feeling a little more confident. Hopefully these things
Speaker 1: are a little more affordable for the masses. But in
Speaker 1: the time being, filler up. That's your uh tech news
Speaker 1: for this week.
Speaker 2: Wondering this. Surprised the gas prices didn't raise with the storm.
Speaker 1: They will? They will. You have to shut down, you know,
Speaker 1: all the rigs out in the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah,
