Speaker 1: Jens, Da Lynch and Taco Show. Thursdays, we bring you
Speaker 1: the latest tech and science news in this segment called
Speaker 1: tech it Outs. Before we get into it, a reminder,
Speaker 1: voting is open for you. Say we played this morning,
Speaker 1: You got till nine o'clock if you want to get
Speaker 1: in on that. Someone who votes which offspring they're the
Speaker 1: featured artist this morning? Which offspring too to play back
Speaker 1: at nine will win my Chemical Romance tickets for the
Speaker 1: Stadium show at Raymond James.
Speaker 2: So a little motivator for you to go to the
Speaker 2: j r Our Facebook page some time before nine and
Speaker 2: throw in your vote for you say we played?
Speaker 1: All right, let's begin with this one. Elon Musk has
Speaker 1: now officially stepped back from the governments and DOGE the
Speaker 1: Department of Government Efficiency that he helped set up in design.
Speaker 1: It's now in place, fully staffed, and we'll continue forward
Speaker 1: as his time as limited time only as a government's
Speaker 1: contracted employee. Yeah, he's now going back to folks on
Speaker 1: his other business ventures which need his attention, So DOSEE
Speaker 1: will continue on without him, looking for fraud, waste and
Speaker 1: abuse within government agencies. Apple users get ready for a
Speaker 1: slight change here moving forward to new versions of the
Speaker 1: iOS system. It looks like it looks like Apple is
Speaker 1: going to start renaming these much like auto manufacturers do.
Speaker 1: Rather than by the number that they're actually on which
Speaker 1: version of the operating system, They're going to go by
Speaker 1: year and doing the model like a car number, car
Speaker 1: model year a year after like the twenty twenty five's
Speaker 1: come out in twenty twenty four, you know, ye yeah,
Speaker 1: so really so iOS, you know, then the year number.
Speaker 1: This is according to Bloomberg. Has this happened yet, not officially,
Speaker 1: but apparently it will be with the start of some
Speaker 1: of the upcoming iOS updates.
Speaker 2: You said, like they do with cars, and I immediately
Speaker 2: they thought you were gonna say, they're going to start
Speaker 2: having trim levels, you know, like a car has the phasic,
Speaker 2: you know, gener and then they have the mid grade
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 1: The iOS for dummies, the standard operating that where you
Speaker 1: get the mid mid range or the deluxe, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so a slight change if you have an ACIS router.
Speaker 1: They've noted that some nation state apparently has been accessing
Speaker 1: these back door style. They haven't initiated anything yet in
Speaker 1: taking over these actual routers, but they've detected. At least
Speaker 1: nine thousand have been exploited. There isn't a fix for
Speaker 1: this really right now, other than a highly convoluted thing
Speaker 1: that unless you're really tech savvy, I'm not even going
Speaker 1: to try to explain right now here, Tako. Let me
Speaker 1: just show you this watch. Would you be able to
Speaker 1: get into your your settings on your router if you
Speaker 1: had an ACIS router and try to find that strand
Speaker 1: of numbers?
Speaker 2: Oh god, no, I mean, thank god. That's where copy
Speaker 2: paste comes in.
Speaker 1: All right. Just know, if you have one of those routers,
Speaker 1: if they've offered you an update, get that thing updated.
Speaker 1: Don't let it wait, and then a more permanent fix
Speaker 1: is being worked on. Those of you who are tech savvy,
Speaker 1: just google this story and it'll show you how you
Speaker 1: can find out if your router has already been compromised,
Speaker 1: and then what to do about it in the short term.
Speaker 1: All right, that's again if you're more of the tech
Speaker 1: savvy side of things. AI cheating in school is so
Speaker 1: out of hand. Guess what's making a return.
Speaker 2: Cameras and the class?
Speaker 1: What blue books? The blue book tests?
Speaker 2: I vaguely remember that what were blue book tests?
Speaker 1: A blue book test? Is where you are, you arrived
Speaker 1: for your exam and your answers are then you write
Speaker 1: out your answers the blue book, Yes I do remember that,
Speaker 1: and write full fledged essays basically high school and college students.
Speaker 1: You can expect to see more of this. In fact,
Speaker 1: they've got numbers to back it up that these blue
Speaker 1: books are being ordered in mass by a lot of
Speaker 1: the biggest universities in the country, including the University of Florida. Good. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got to the point where the AI cheating is.
Speaker 1: You know, it's almost pointless if you're going to be
Speaker 1: paying all this money to go and try to learn stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's the route you want to take,
Speaker 1: that's fine, But if you truly want to be tested
Speaker 1: on the material you're supposed to be learning, I guess
Speaker 1: a lot of instructors are turning back to the old
Speaker 1: standard Blue Book test, where you've got to pull together
Speaker 1: your thoughts ideas and express them an essay essay form
Speaker 1: to the answers or to the questions that are posed
Speaker 1: to you. You know how I am.
Speaker 2: I think AI is nothing but trouble. I know there's
Speaker 2: a lot of good things that can do, but overall, trouble.
Speaker 2: But god, I would have liked it in college. Oh,
Speaker 2: that would have been a bonus.
Speaker 1: So, uh, we've got a report out that says we
Speaker 1: might start seeing those moving walkways and many airports disappear.
Speaker 1: You know, you get on those moving walkways through some
Speaker 1: of the concourses, which are nice if you're lugging along
Speaker 1: a bunch of you know, carry ons.
Speaker 2: And his injuries.
Speaker 1: No, no, because the businesses in the airports are missing
Speaker 1: out on business because the traffic just goes zooming right
Speaker 1: by and there's no way to step off. You know. Oh,
Speaker 1: look there's the uh, you know, there's a star bus
Speaker 1: right unless it's somebody walking outside of the moving walkway.
Speaker 1: So a lot of these airports, I guess, are starting
Speaker 1: to maybe move away from that. I don't know. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: I always liked those the uilities, except for the people
Speaker 1: who get on him and to just stand in the
Speaker 1: middle of the thing.
Speaker 2: Oh I walked right by, excuse me.
Speaker 1: Tinder is having a bit of an attempt to rebrand
Speaker 1: itself and move away from the audience four is to
Speaker 1: hook up. The new CEO of Tinder is a guy
Speaker 1: named Spencer Rascoff. He's trying to revamp the app's image
Speaker 1: because it's struggling to gain traction among gen zers between
Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty eight. He says, it's not a hookup generation.
Speaker 1: They don't drink as much alcohol and they don't have
Speaker 1: as much sex. And he goes on to say they're
Speaker 1: trying to adapt by shifting the focus to casual meetups,
Speaker 1: including double dating, which is rolling out this summer on Tender,
Speaker 1: and improving the quality of matches to encourage more lasting relationships.
Speaker 1: So you know, you got to roll with the changes.
Speaker 2: Man, He's right about that new generation. I mean, the majority.
Speaker 2: It's not like they're getting as wild as you know.
Speaker 2: Here's the adieu.
Speaker 1: Study of the week found that the amount of time
Speaker 1: a person spends doom scrolling through social media can directly
Speaker 1: correspond to the amount of fake news they believe it
Speaker 1: is true. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet
Speaker 1: or on the socials. Penguin poop may help preserve Antarctic climate.
Speaker 1: New research shows it. Penguin guano and Antarctica is an
Speaker 1: important source of ammonia, aerosol particles that help drive the
Speaker 1: formation and persistence of low clouds, which cool the climate
Speaker 1: by reflecting some incoming sunlight back to space. Okay, penguin
Speaker 1: poop talkout, Dave's the day. Hey, what else do we have? Oh?
Speaker 1: If you drive a Ford, Ford is recalling more than
Speaker 1: a million vehicles here in the US due to a
Speaker 1: software issue causing the rear view camera to display delayed, frozen,
Speaker 1: or even blank images. The recall effects a range of vehicles,
Speaker 1: including some made between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: including the Ford Bronco Edge and F one fifty. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of you drive F one fifties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: camera's glitchen. It might be because of it needed this fix.
Speaker 1: So if you have one of those vehicles that's included
Speaker 1: in the recall, you can look for some sort of
Speaker 1: communication from Ford regarding that and how to go and
Speaker 1: get its fixed.
Speaker 2: It'll be coming in mail. You're paying good money for
Speaker 2: that vehicle. Make sure it's working right.
Speaker 1: My wife's vehicle always gets these recalls. It's ten years
Speaker 1: old now. At this point, I just they just go
Speaker 1: in the trash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like all of our cars, every recall for all
Speaker 2: four cars of the kid, the kids of alib and
Speaker 2: I trash.
Speaker 1: Just as long as the thing's starting We're good Glinchin
Speaker 1: Tago on demand, Tell loady I heartwait you out.
