Speaker 1: As we teck it out some of the latest tech
Speaker 1: news and information to share with you. You can do
Speaker 1: a little ticket giveaway at the end of this as well.
Speaker 1: Gerry Clark Junior come into hard Rock Live. You could
Speaker 1: be at that show again. Tickets will go right after
Speaker 1: we check it out. Any of you who tried to
Speaker 1: pre order the PS five Pro Limited Edition probably feeling
Speaker 1: a bit let down the very cool limited thirtieth anniversary
Speaker 1: PS five Pro retro style consoles. Yeah, most people weren't
Speaker 1: able to place a pre order, mainly because the limited
Speaker 1: edition may have been well too limited, and then a
Speaker 1: lot of customers were frustrated by long waits to even
Speaker 1: get in the queue to try to have a chance
Speaker 1: to get one, tech problems that ended up blocking purchases,
Speaker 1: and of course always the suspicion that scalpers were a
Speaker 1: big part of the problem as well scooping them up
Speaker 1: and then reselling them. This is an interesting move. Former
Speaker 1: Microsoft Xbox uh president's guy who ran the Xbox division
Speaker 1: at Microsoft. He has jumped ship and gone over to Amazon. Really,
Speaker 1: that was confirmed yesterday. They're gaming right, Jay Allard, He's not.
Speaker 1: He's well. It remains to be seen what exactly they're
Speaker 1: gonna pick his brain for. But he's going to work
Speaker 1: in the uh, the Amazon Devices and Services team, which
Speaker 1: you know, they're the ones who produce all the Amazon
Speaker 1: based gadgets that we use, you know, team to be continued.
Speaker 1: We'll see, Yeah, we'll see what they're gonna tap his
Speaker 1: brain for. That's I'm sure he got a pretty big
Speaker 1: payday out of that. I'm wondering how long the non
Speaker 1: compete is there obviously wasn't one.
Speaker 2: No, I'm wondering if if the part of the non
Speaker 2: compete that there's parts of it, you know how non
Speaker 2: competes are different.
Speaker 1: They might say, now.
Speaker 2: You cannot go take your gaming knowledge to another place
Speaker 2: for at least insert time.
Speaker 1: See where that goes. Tech deal of the week has
Speaker 1: to be a Direct TV agreeing to buy Dish Network
Speaker 1: for a dollar. I reported on this earlier in the
Speaker 1: week when the deal was announced. It hasn't been approved yet.
Speaker 1: There's still some federal regulations that will need to be cleared,
Speaker 1: as well as stockholder issues. Both expected to be a
Speaker 1: little bit different story this go around, as the TV
Speaker 1: viewing wars and landscape have drastically changed since the last
Speaker 1: time these two tried to merge. What were you going
Speaker 1: to say, Nah, it's past. If you are still a
Speaker 1: satellite television subscriber, what does this mean for you. It'll
Speaker 1: probably mean more changes on the dish side of things
Speaker 1: than the direct TV side of things is. It'll probably
Speaker 1: weave it into one interface and one main offering with
Speaker 1: subsets of packages available. Again, all of this still has
Speaker 1: to be approved before the deal can even be consummated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is a new cheek swab that scientists have developed
Speaker 1: with a simple test that might be able to tell
Speaker 1: you how long you can live. Lifestyle factors like stress, smoking, alcohol, sleep,
Speaker 1: and diet all affect our lifespan and they're imprinted in
Speaker 1: our genes. This new test called cheek age. The cheek
Speaker 1: age swab reads this imprinted data from cells found in
Speaker 1: the mouth to estimate when your time will come. This
Speaker 1: isn't like that thing we talked about the other day.
Speaker 1: Were like, it'll give you a date that you're going
Speaker 1: to kick the bucket, And this is just like, Hey,
Speaker 1: based on what your genes are.
Speaker 2: Saying you have till around this age.
Speaker 1: You might have another twenty years?
Speaker 2: Are you doing it?
Speaker 1: Hell no, No, I'd rather just surprise me, surprise me.
Speaker 1: If you utilize Gmail, you might notice some changes probably
Speaker 1: that will assist in keep and things a little more organized,
Speaker 1: including what are being described as summary cards that you'll
Speaker 1: see pop up to help you take action within your
Speaker 1: cluttered email inboxes, which we all deal with. It'll the
Speaker 1: summary cards will be dividing stuff into stuff like tracking packages,
Speaker 1: checking on flights, category type stuff. So if you see
Speaker 1: that new offering, that's what that is with the latest Gmail.
Speaker 2: It makes sense, similar to like your credit card will
Speaker 2: do dining entertainment.
Speaker 1: Right exactly same we'll go with your your email inbox
Speaker 1: if you have a Gmail. They did some research to
Speaker 1: find out the least intrusive social media platforms. Which ones
Speaker 1: are the least nosy as far as storing your personal data,
Speaker 1: utilizing your personal data, selling your personal data, all of
Speaker 1: the above. Which one the least intrusive social media platforms?
Speaker 1: Reddit and Snapchat. If you're a Ring Alarm monitored alarm
Speaker 1: system customer, get ready for your your monitoring fee to double.
Speaker 1: Why it's well, I couldn't exactly tell you, but customers
Speaker 1: of the twenty four to seven monitoring service from Ring
Speaker 1: are receiving emails notifying them that well, more or less,
Speaker 1: the next time you renew your subscription will double. Although
Speaker 1: you know what the base monitoring is ten bucks, so
Speaker 1: it'll be going basically to nineteen ninety nine a month. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you know, in the big scheme of things, and
Speaker 1: you know, in the very competitive field there, you know
Speaker 1: how the pricing goes with that stuff. It's up to
Speaker 1: you to decide if that's too much or you know,
Speaker 1: you can absorb that. Twenty three and me, the you know,
Speaker 1: the ancestry type research company looks like they are a
Speaker 1: sinking ship right now, and it's sinking very fast for
Speaker 1: a myriad of reasons. First being competitors in that genie
Speaker 1: or that you know that that type of field there,
Speaker 1: there's other competitors there. But the second reason, why do
Speaker 1: you think twenty three and me is having a problem
Speaker 1: right now? I knew the competitors right out of the game.
Speaker 1: By the way, they haven't turned a profit yet.
Speaker 2: Oh really, Yeah, I don't have any other guests.
Speaker 1: Besides, it's actually very logical if you think about it,
Speaker 1: and the competitors are going to run into this too.
Speaker 1: Is it the shipping of it? No? No, most people
Speaker 1: who are interested in finding stuff out about their ancestry
Speaker 1: have already done it. Once you've done it, you're done.
Speaker 1: You're not you don't have another reason to do it.
Speaker 1: And the people who do do it then in turn
Speaker 1: inform all their immediate relatives, Hey I wanted this, and
Speaker 1: guess who you know? And they share all the fos,
Speaker 1: so you know the the demand is dropping for it.
Speaker 2: I think one of the best ever is my buddy Eggs,
Speaker 2: who is the most Irish dude ever, and he did
Speaker 2: the what it whichever won probably found out he was
Speaker 2: Guatemalan or.
Speaker 1: Something that he was Jewish, says I'm Gyrish, Gyrish. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, what else we got here? Oh? Both?
Speaker 2: Is my point.
Speaker 1: One other little heads up on the whole. You know
Speaker 1: terms and service agreements that we all never read and
Speaker 1: just check off and agree. A couple that was in
Speaker 1: a severe Uber crash cannot sue because of an Uber
Speaker 1: Eats order. The married couple New Jersey were in a
Speaker 1: severe accident during an Uber ride. Judge ruled that they
Speaker 1: can't sue the company because they and their daughter agreed
Speaker 1: to arbitration when they accepted the terms of service for
Speaker 1: a separate, non related Uber Eats order. The terms of
Speaker 1: service covers both the Uber Eats and the Uber ride
Speaker 1: share service. You're agreeing when you sign off there that
Speaker 1: any kind of legal claim will be resolved through arbitration
Speaker 1: and not the court system.
Speaker 2: I bet there's going to be lawyers that can fight
Speaker 2: the hell out of that one.
Speaker 1: They tried talking Uber taking Uber to court for a
Speaker 1: jury trial, but an appellate court recently ruled that they
Speaker 1: can't because the previously agreed to the updated terms and
Speaker 1: service conditions. So yeah, I'm sure that they can probably
Speaker 1: appeal that, But at one point, how much money do
Speaker 1: you have to go up against a company like that
Speaker 1: who has, you know, stacks of lawyers?
Speaker 2: And so do I now since I'd like to use
Speaker 2: Uber and left? Do I now stop doing Uber Eats? No,
Speaker 2: you've already agreed, agreed, I'm done either way.
Speaker 1: So anyway, John and Georgia McGuinty they were in the
Speaker 1: back of an Uber ride when the driver sped through
Speaker 1: a red light and they were t boned by another call,
Speaker 1: resulting in their serious physical, psychological, and financial damages. And
Speaker 1: that it's not that they're not going to get any
Speaker 1: money for a settlement, they just have to go to
Speaker 1: arbitration rather than a good divorce. Yeah, so so you're
Speaker 1: getting scared. User, beware this. We all are guilty of this.
Speaker 1: Anybody have you ever actually read terms in service of anything? Nope.
Speaker 2: After you did a story one time saying this company
Speaker 2: snuck it in where if you did one little thing
Speaker 2: after reading the terms, you'd win one hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: I read them for about a day.
Speaker 2: After that and then went back to not a chance
Speaker 2: to Tacoba.
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a nap now, I'm now. How
Speaker 1: about you clear off the phone lines here and be
Speaker 1: the uh giver of some Gary Clark Junior tickets.
Speaker 2: Taco Bob four oh seven nine six one one one
Speaker 2: is the number that you want to.
Speaker 1: Call Taco Grab a random line. If it's you, you'll
Speaker 1: be going to that show at hard Rock Life four
Speaker 1: oh seven nine one six one one one. Lynchin Tako
