Speaker 1: Best Buy and Game Stop stores held special midnight release openings.
Speaker 1: They were both open for a couple hours. Mainly that
Speaker 1: was the people who had locked in a device with
Speaker 1: a pre order. They're coming by to pick them up
Speaker 1: as soon as they could get their hands on them.
Speaker 1: Then they had some limited stock for those who wanted
Speaker 1: to show up and give it a whirl. Uh do
Speaker 1: you see the lines? Yeah, and again it's gonna be
Speaker 1: hit or miss for this. If you've got the pre
Speaker 1: order dying and great, you're you're good to go. But
Speaker 1: if you're just just walking in off the street today,
Speaker 1: it is gonna be uh. Probably, I don't think you're
Speaker 1: gonna find one. Now here's my question with that.
Speaker 2: For the people that lined up who didn't do pre
Speaker 2: orders and there's a limited amount. Let's say there's twenty
Speaker 2: five a cold, bare knuckled brawling competition. Stop, I'm number
Speaker 2: twenty six in line. Are they gonna give me a
Speaker 2: voucher for Hey, you'll be one of the first vote
Speaker 2: on the next order.
Speaker 1: I am not part of the hierarchy of any major
Speaker 1: retail electronics dealer here in the United States, so I
Speaker 1: don't know the answer. Yeah, you're the tech guy. I
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that. Good luck if you.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for one today, know they are doing
Speaker 1: their best to churn out more and hopefully Restock will
Speaker 1: be on its way soon. There are multiple places you
Speaker 1: can check online that are tracking inventory levels across the chains.
Speaker 1: So I mean if you want to hit the Reddit forms.
Speaker 1: There's all sorts of stuff there. There is a couple
Speaker 1: of dedicated sites that are doing their best to keep
Speaker 1: up with this, and it's kind of like a treasure
Speaker 1: hunt of suits. So have fun out there and be careful.
Speaker 2: I know that you're rushing to get your switch over
Speaker 2: across town because you found out there's four left it
Speaker 2: named the store.
Speaker 1: But don't be you know, getting crazy. Eminem's publisher is
Speaker 1: suing Meta for one hundred and nine million dollars. Lawsuit
Speaker 1: came claiming that Meta used Eminem's music for some promotional
Speaker 1: stuff across their platforms without permission. That's a big no no.
Speaker 1: I could believe it. That's a big no no. As
Speaker 1: we go into the heat of summer, the energy prices
Speaker 1: to keep your home cool expected to be quite pricey again,
Speaker 1: and you try to find ways to save on your
Speaker 1: cooling cost. This could be a possible path down the future,
Speaker 1: at least in large commercial settings. In Manhattan, very large
Speaker 1: skyscraper there, the iconic eleven Madison Skyscraper, is being air
Speaker 1: conditioned using ice. I heard of that there's about half
Speaker 1: a million pounds of ice that get created in the
Speaker 1: overnight hours. This is from Train Technologies Commercial HVAC America's business,
Speaker 1: the company responsible for installing the system. It refers to
Speaker 1: this as an ice battery, and to put it in context,
Speaker 1: it's about the ice that's produced, is about the size
Speaker 1: and the battery. It's about the size of three city buses.
Speaker 1: Giant ice gaps. No, I've heard about the whole process.
Speaker 2: And then in the overnight, as you mentioned, it blocks
Speaker 2: up because you don't have the heat beaten down, and
Speaker 2: then it cools all day and then does the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the freezing is pricey, but electricity is cheaper in
Speaker 1: the overnight hours. Thus with freezing the stuff, and then
Speaker 1: during the day you're not drawing the power from peak usage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so kind of cool.
Speaker 2: And I actually I read a piece on this, and
Speaker 2: have you gotten your power bill for that super hot
Speaker 2: time yet?
Speaker 1: I got the halfway through estimation and I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: north of four hundred bucks this month. You know what
Speaker 1: else I got? I might go to the eleven Madison
Speaker 1: skyscraper and contemplate.
Speaker 2: No, I won't, No, no, I don't think you're doing that.
Speaker 2: But my power bell I haven't received it yet. I'm
Speaker 2: expecting I mean it was hot as hell, but I
Speaker 2: got a water bill. Well remember that super dry time.
Speaker 2: It was dry as could be there. My water bill
Speaker 2: was double, almost triple what it normally.
Speaker 1: Is in your water bill usually only about twenty bucks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like was still eighty bucks. It was yours. You would
Speaker 1: have been like three hundred. What I would give for
Speaker 1: an eighty dollars water bill, I'll give you. I hate you,
Speaker 1: Sunshine Water Company, I'll give you. You have WHYSE is a
Speaker 1: company technology company that is going to make it easier
Speaker 1: for you to install cameras at your home. If you've
Speaker 1: been talking or thinking about wanting to put cameras to,
Speaker 1: you know, monitor the exterior of your home, but you're going, man,
Speaker 1: I where I'd like to put these There's no electricity,
Speaker 1: or I don't want to run wires there or whatever.
Speaker 1: They have come up with a new offering for about
Speaker 1: fifty bucks Taco that is a combination light bulb and
Speaker 1: camera high definition camera that will screw right into any
Speaker 1: available light socket, So your front porch light, for example,
Speaker 1: you could replace whatever bulb you have in there now
Speaker 1: with this fifty dollars one from Whys and there's a
Speaker 1: camera attached to it. And boom, you have instinct camera
Speaker 1: there without running any addition wiring, and it is now
Speaker 1: become essentially a wired connection, which was quite a reliable
Speaker 1: thing to do, rather than you know, hoping Wi Fi
Speaker 1: will keep your cameras connected at all times. Fifty dollars
Speaker 1: price point is pretty solid. It is so if youve
Speaker 1: got a couple of different outlets on the X tear
Speaker 1: of your house, you can get a couple of these
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden have your your property blanketed
Speaker 1: with video surveillance.
Speaker 2: I know this is their business. I just get concerned about.
Speaker 2: Remember at the beginning of all the cameras, how people
Speaker 2: can tap right into that and see what's going on.
Speaker 2: That's what I can get. That's what I get concerned with.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like that with that, but
Speaker 2: no wiring.
Speaker 1: Avio is a company that also utilizes cameras that they
Speaker 1: donate to municipalities around the country. They are pushing their
Speaker 1: new stop sign cameras. Yes, think speed cameras, but now
Speaker 1: the same kind of deal for stop signs that these
Speaker 1: are like. They look like cones that will go on
Speaker 1: to top of stop signs. You may have seen these
Speaker 1: because they're in place in some municipalities around the country.
Speaker 1: They utilize solar power to run the cameras and monitor
Speaker 1: stop sign points because well, we know just from watching
Speaker 1: the news, there's an awful lot of bad situations that
Speaker 1: happen sometimes once people run stop signs, So they're hoping
Speaker 1: that this will help cut down on some of the tragedy.
Speaker 1: Although you get down the same avenue as red light
Speaker 1: cameras and speed cameras and everything with this. The kicker though,
Speaker 1: is again, if a municipality wants is this company's giving
Speaker 1: it to them for free in exchange for it cut
Speaker 1: they collect.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, everybody, let's just stop at a red light,
Speaker 2: stop at a stop sign. But doing this this is
Speaker 2: that's got that's just that's big. What is it called?
Speaker 2: You know, what's funny taco? And they point this out
Speaker 2: in this story.
Speaker 1: The United States is we are so far behind other
Speaker 1: countries as far as being monitored on the roads and
Speaker 1: stuff because of our car culture that's built into it.
Speaker 1: We just like the freedom of having our cars and
Speaker 1: we don't like having that monitored. So it's been crawling along,
Speaker 1: developing and being implemented, but it's coming.
Speaker 2: And if you find a good enough lawyer, I'm sure
Speaker 2: they can fight it and say this is a company
Speaker 2: that's not even here in this state, and it's that's
Speaker 2: what they did with a lot of the red light ones.
Speaker 1: Taco for your AI fear this week. It may come
Speaker 1: to a culmination with this. A new report says that
Speaker 1: a growing number of technology users believe that artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: is actually God. They think they're accessing the secrets of
Speaker 1: the universe through chat, GPT, and many people have been
Speaker 1: dipping their toes into AI by trying that for recommendations
Speaker 1: on places to go, suggestions, blah blah, blah, blah blah.
Speaker 1: But people are becoming so immersed in falling under the
Speaker 1: spell of it they are almost treating this as a
Speaker 1: religious like experience. And there's predictors that think this will
Speaker 1: there'll be moves to make this literally a religion.
Speaker 2: They have issue a religion, They have a complete issue
Speaker 2: massive your life.
Speaker 1: Get over it.
Speaker 2: There's some good things about AI, but if you're going
Speaker 2: that far, think about it all right. There's your tech
Speaker 2: it out for this week. Lynchin Tako's commercial free Workday
