1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,199
As trust in platforms like Facebook declines, federal

2
00:00:03,199 --> 00:00:06,480
employees are increasingly turning to encrypted apps like

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:06,980
Signal

4
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:08,740
for private communications.

5
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:10,980
Concerns over surveillance

6
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:14,179
by the current administration and tech companies cooperation

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,699
with government data request

8
00:00:16,065 --> 00:00:18,885
have driven many to migrate to sensitive conversations

9
00:00:19,425 --> 00:00:21,125
away from mainstream services.

10
00:00:21,984 --> 00:00:24,644
Employees fear potential monitoring and retaliation

11
00:00:25,344 --> 00:00:28,404
yet avoiding and ignoring security concerns.

12
00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:32,479
Again, this leads to heightened caution in work

13
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,379
to place discussions and online interactions.

14
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:39,280

strong.

77
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,580
Hey, everyone.

78
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:13,719
Welcome to the show.

79
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,139
You know, most people say, thank god it's

80
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,780
Friday.

81
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,620
I'm like, TGIF Thursday because I mean, TGIT.

82
00:03:23,224 --> 00:03:26,044
Thank God it's Thursday because TGIF is tomorrow.

83
00:03:27,705 --> 00:03:30,525
It's been a very long week.

84
00:03:31,305 --> 00:03:32,685
A lot getting done.

85
00:03:34,185 --> 00:03:34,665
And,

86
00:03:35,064 --> 00:03:37,305
I'm just you know, I'm focused on getting

87
00:03:37,305 --> 00:03:40,659
through tomorrow, and then I'm probably gonna collapse.

88
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:42,900
And then Saturday,

89
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:43,840
I have,

90
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,299
you know,

91
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:47,199
the thing that we all hate doing. I'm

92
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:48,259
going to try

93
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,780
I'm going to try to finish the taxes

94
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,060
on

95
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:54,259
Saturday.

96
00:03:55,064 --> 00:03:56,205
Famous last words.

97
00:03:58,025 --> 00:04:00,344
Famous last words. And, of course, we have

98
00:04:00,344 --> 00:04:02,745
episode 1,800 on Monday. We get into the

99
00:04:02,745 --> 00:04:03,564
18 hundreds.

100
00:04:03,865 --> 00:04:04,764
Are you excited?

101
00:04:05,305 --> 00:04:06,444
I am a little bit.

102
00:04:06,745 --> 00:04:08,425
You know, it seems like it took us

103
00:04:08,425 --> 00:04:09,085
a trudge

104
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,819
to get through all of the the 17

105
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:13,379
hundreds.

106
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:16,740
So, 18 hundreds come Monday.

107
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:20,259
So, we're at the top, seventeen ninety nine.

108
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,754
That's a number, ladies and gentlemen. 1,800 on

109
00:04:23,754 --> 00:04:25,375
Monday, so we'll do something special.

110
00:04:26,555 --> 00:04:27,694
Please join me

111
00:04:28,395 --> 00:04:30,714
on Monday for that deal. So we're gonna

112
00:04:30,714 --> 00:04:32,154
get right into the stack today. I'm gonna

113
00:04:32,154 --> 00:04:34,735
get a little late getting the show started.

114
00:04:35,939 --> 00:04:37,779
Just, you know, things went late with the

115
00:04:37,779 --> 00:04:40,500
JOB. So when things go late with the

116
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:41,000
JOB,

117
00:04:41,379 --> 00:04:41,879
then,

118
00:04:42,579 --> 00:04:43,240
you know,

119
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:45,699
the show starts late. But I wanna talk

120
00:04:45,699 --> 00:04:46,199
about

121
00:04:46,660 --> 00:04:48,899
this this top of the top of the

122
00:04:48,899 --> 00:04:49,399
hour

123
00:04:49,699 --> 00:04:50,759
article about

124
00:04:51,574 --> 00:04:54,535
federal workers say they increasingly distrust platforms like

125
00:04:54,535 --> 00:04:55,035
Facebook.

126
00:04:55,415 --> 00:04:57,574
They say platforms they once used to communicate

127
00:04:57,574 --> 00:05:00,555
with coworkers and friends increasingly feel insecure.

128
00:05:01,655 --> 00:05:02,314
You know,

129
00:05:03,014 --> 00:05:05,675
when I was a federal government employee,

130
00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:10,399
there was no

131
00:05:10,779 --> 00:05:12,399
allowance made for

132
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:13,680
communications.

133
00:05:14,379 --> 00:05:15,919
We we weren't allowed

134
00:05:16,459 --> 00:05:17,759
to talk about work

135
00:05:18,139 --> 00:05:19,360
on any apps.

136
00:05:19,819 --> 00:05:20,800
It's not allowed.

137
00:05:21,305 --> 00:05:24,104
No. No. No. No. No. Not allowed at

138
00:05:24,104 --> 00:05:24,604
all.

139
00:05:25,064 --> 00:05:25,564
Email,

140
00:05:25,944 --> 00:05:26,685
in person,

141
00:05:27,224 --> 00:05:28,365
video conference.

142
00:05:30,425 --> 00:05:32,985
I think on our computers, we may have

143
00:05:32,985 --> 00:05:33,485
had

144
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:36,769
some messaging app,

145
00:05:37,709 --> 00:05:40,209
but they were that was it. You weren't

146
00:05:40,269 --> 00:05:42,050
allowed to talk about work

147
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:43,009
texting.

148
00:05:43,949 --> 00:05:45,470
You know, you might say, hey. I'm a

149
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:47,329
little late for meeting texting,

150
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:50,154
or I'm coming, or

151
00:05:50,855 --> 00:05:52,795
a coordination thing, but no

152
00:05:53,254 --> 00:05:53,754
business.

153
00:05:55,095 --> 00:05:57,035
No no federal business

154
00:05:57,415 --> 00:05:58,714
in chat whatsoever.

155
00:06:00,730 --> 00:06:02,970
We didn't have Slack channels or anything like

156
00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:03,470
that.

157
00:06:04,410 --> 00:06:05,389
So it surprises

158
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:06,270
me

159
00:06:08,170 --> 00:06:09,949
when I hear about government

160
00:06:10,649 --> 00:06:11,149
workers

161
00:06:13,384 --> 00:06:14,925
communicating with another

162
00:06:15,305 --> 00:06:17,004
via apps like Signal,

163
00:06:19,785 --> 00:06:21,245
this is very scary.

164
00:06:22,345 --> 00:06:23,785
And first of all, I would have never

165
00:06:23,865 --> 00:06:25,705
you know, I understand that the value of

166
00:06:25,705 --> 00:06:26,205
Signal,

167
00:06:26,585 --> 00:06:27,725
don't get me wrong,

168
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:28,800
for personal stuff,

169
00:06:29,819 --> 00:06:32,240
not for anything to do with work.

170
00:06:33,019 --> 00:06:34,620
If you just wanna talk to your friends

171
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:35,120
about

172
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,759
non work items, do what you will.

173
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:41,120
But anything that you say that is

174
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:43,759
involving work,

175
00:06:45,074 --> 00:06:46,675
it should not be allowed. It should not

176
00:06:46,675 --> 00:06:47,175
be

177
00:06:47,475 --> 00:06:49,175
should not be matter of fact,

178
00:06:49,954 --> 00:06:52,035
in the job I had, I subject to

179
00:06:52,035 --> 00:06:53,495
dismissal if I was

180
00:06:53,875 --> 00:06:54,694
caught communicating,

181
00:06:55,634 --> 00:06:56,295
you know,

182
00:06:56,675 --> 00:06:57,175
improperly

183
00:06:58,899 --> 00:07:01,220
because the job was very sensitive, and the

184
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:02,360
discussions were,

185
00:07:03,459 --> 00:07:04,439
more than likely,

186
00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:06,759
about nine out of 10 times,

187
00:07:08,019 --> 00:07:09,639
were not for public dissemination.

188
00:07:11,654 --> 00:07:13,115
And, in fact,

189
00:07:13,495 --> 00:07:15,175
when we talk to each other on the

190
00:07:15,175 --> 00:07:17,274
telephone, we had a secure phone

191
00:07:18,214 --> 00:07:20,074
that we use to talk to one another.

192
00:07:20,615 --> 00:07:22,375
There would be times we would call somebody,

193
00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:24,439
say, hey. I need to. We'd say, hey.

194
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:24,939
Because

195
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,120
these phones weren't just readily available. My office,

196
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,360
there was one. But people I would talk

197
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,720
to us say, hey. If you if you

198
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,100
got a secure phone,

199
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,639
talk to them on open, and they would

200
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:38,014
say, yeah. And I'm like, okay. I'll I'll

201
00:07:38,014 --> 00:07:39,694
call you back on you know, call me

202
00:07:39,694 --> 00:07:41,394
back in ten minutes on this number.

203
00:07:42,175 --> 00:07:43,875
And then we would kick it secure

204
00:07:44,495 --> 00:07:46,814
and have our conversation and come off secure,

205
00:07:46,814 --> 00:07:49,535
but we never talked openly over the phone

206
00:07:49,535 --> 00:07:52,139
unless it was something that could be talked

207
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:53,360
about on the phone.

208
00:07:54,779 --> 00:07:56,959
And we had to take a screen care

209
00:07:57,899 --> 00:07:59,600
and not even talking around

210
00:08:00,379 --> 00:08:00,879
topics.

211
00:08:01,899 --> 00:08:03,819
You know, they would be like, hey. You

212
00:08:03,819 --> 00:08:04,720
know that thing,

213
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:07,375
it's such and such, you know, by the

214
00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:07,875
window?

215
00:08:08,735 --> 00:08:10,995
That's what they would be like talking around.

216
00:08:11,375 --> 00:08:12,735
Oh, yeah. I know the thing by the

217
00:08:12,735 --> 00:08:13,235
window.

218
00:08:14,095 --> 00:08:16,754
You you know the the things halfway down

219
00:08:16,975 --> 00:08:20,129
from the window? Yeah. I know. That not

220
00:08:20,129 --> 00:08:20,629
allowed

221
00:08:21,089 --> 00:08:22,149
to be talked about.

222
00:08:22,930 --> 00:08:25,029
Can't say that it was never done

223
00:08:25,410 --> 00:08:26,550
because there was sometimes

224
00:08:27,410 --> 00:08:29,350
it had to be done, but it was

225
00:08:29,410 --> 00:08:31,269
really, really, really discouraged.

226
00:08:35,434 --> 00:08:35,934
So

227
00:08:36,794 --> 00:08:38,815
I'm hearing a buzz in my ear.

228
00:08:39,434 --> 00:08:41,294
You guys hearing that at all?

229
00:08:43,434 --> 00:08:44,894
Maybe it's just my earball.

230
00:08:46,235 --> 00:08:48,095
You guys like that earball?

231
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:50,600
So at heart of the trust distrust

232
00:08:51,779 --> 00:08:54,500
is because of the administration that cozied up

233
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:55,559
to Meta and

234
00:08:55,940 --> 00:08:56,440
Axe

235
00:08:56,980 --> 00:08:58,039
and so forth.

236
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,419
So one worker also pointed out a recent

237
00:09:02,419 --> 00:09:04,120
change my made my Google

238
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:09,134
to its calendar of holidays.

239
00:09:09,754 --> 00:09:10,654
And I'm like,

240
00:09:11,274 --> 00:09:12,715
listen. You have a government

241
00:09:13,434 --> 00:09:15,695
you as a government employee are

242
00:09:16,315 --> 00:09:18,715
have installed on your set on your computer

243
00:09:18,715 --> 00:09:20,014
a set of software.

244
00:09:21,419 --> 00:09:24,379
Microsoft is probably there. There's no when I

245
00:09:24,379 --> 00:09:26,139
was there, it was no cloud stuff. Oh,

246
00:09:26,139 --> 00:09:26,639
no.

247
00:09:27,019 --> 00:09:28,480
No cloud. Uh-uh.

248
00:09:28,939 --> 00:09:31,579
No cloud. Because stuff I created on my

249
00:09:31,579 --> 00:09:32,959
computer and, again,

250
00:09:33,264 --> 00:09:35,105
depending on what I was working on let's

251
00:09:35,105 --> 00:09:36,964
just just use the acronym

252
00:09:37,745 --> 00:09:40,065
g. If it was a g rating, I

253
00:09:40,065 --> 00:09:41,365
could use one computer.

254
00:09:41,745 --> 00:09:43,824
But if it was an r rating, I

255
00:09:43,824 --> 00:09:45,204
had to use a different computer.

256
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:47,790
And then if it was an x rating,

257
00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:50,129
I had to use even another computer. So

258
00:09:50,269 --> 00:09:51,250
there was no

259
00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:54,190
even even stuff that we did, there was

260
00:09:54,670 --> 00:09:56,429
depending on what you were doing, you worked

261
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:58,445
on one machine, And if there was other

262
00:09:58,445 --> 00:09:59,485
stuff you had to work on, you work

263
00:09:59,485 --> 00:10:01,965
on another machine and then go to even

264
00:10:01,965 --> 00:10:04,384
the next level because there was no interchange

265
00:10:05,644 --> 00:10:07,745
of this data that wasn't allowed.

266
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,559
I had a separate email on machine b.

267
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,399
I had a separate email on machine c.

268
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:15,860
Crazy as it may sound,

269
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,940
but as you can imagine,

270
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:21,220
my dot mil address that I had

271
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,700
for, god, thirty plus years,

272
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:28,115
I had a different address on another machine

273
00:10:28,894 --> 00:10:30,975
for thirty plus years, and I had another

274
00:10:30,975 --> 00:10:33,794
email address on thirty plus years because

275
00:10:34,335 --> 00:10:36,195
sometimes the messaging required

276
00:10:36,575 --> 00:10:38,434
stuff to go one way and not another.

277
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:41,259
All about the classification of the conversation.

278
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,059
So

279
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,120
a general government worker that's working on an

280
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:48,620
unclassified

281
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:49,660
machine

282
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,139
still has restrictions.

283
00:10:53,725 --> 00:10:55,424
And most, believe it or not,

284
00:10:55,884 --> 00:10:58,625
most government employees do not have a government

285
00:10:58,684 --> 00:10:59,184
phone.

286
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:00,544
I never

287
00:11:01,085 --> 00:11:03,325
I never in my thirty years had a

288
00:11:03,325 --> 00:11:05,424
government phone. Never had one.

289
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,279
I had personal phone. And matter of fact,

290
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,120
most of the time, when I went to

291
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,620
my office with my personal phone,

292
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,059
outside the office was a box,

293
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:19,559
and it had a place to unlock, stick

294
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,720
your phone in, close the door, lock it

295
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,634
up, and I would have to go into

296
00:11:23,634 --> 00:11:25,875
the room and leave my phone outside. I

297
00:11:25,875 --> 00:11:27,954
couldn't even come in the room with the

298
00:11:27,954 --> 00:11:28,454
phone.

299
00:11:29,794 --> 00:11:31,074
And then when I went to lunch, I

300
00:11:31,074 --> 00:11:32,754
could get my phone and go to lunch

301
00:11:32,754 --> 00:11:34,595
and come back and stick it back in

302
00:11:34,595 --> 00:11:37,679
there. If the phone crossed the threshold

303
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:39,519
of the room

304
00:11:39,899 --> 00:11:42,220
that wasn't allowed to have a phone, guess

305
00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:42,720
what?

306
00:11:43,179 --> 00:11:45,279
If you were caught, the phone was confiscated

307
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:47,839
and smashed.

308
00:11:50,924 --> 00:11:52,544
That's how serious it was.

309
00:11:53,245 --> 00:11:55,024
So when I hear about government employees

310
00:11:56,204 --> 00:11:58,704
doing the the dance on apps,

311
00:12:00,204 --> 00:12:00,704
well,

312
00:12:02,845 --> 00:12:03,584
you know,

313
00:12:04,139 --> 00:12:07,279
that that, to me sounds very, very dangerous.

314
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:10,059
And, again, I'm sure it's a it's a

315
00:12:10,059 --> 00:12:11,919
subset of employees that

316
00:12:12,539 --> 00:12:14,079
don't have to work in

317
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:17,600
a classified system or unclassified.

318
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:20,804
Believe it or not, I think probably, I

319
00:12:20,804 --> 00:12:22,425
would almost bet you

320
00:12:23,445 --> 00:12:25,205
and again, I don't know about different government

321
00:12:25,205 --> 00:12:27,125
agencies, but I would almost bet that every

322
00:12:27,125 --> 00:12:28,965
one of those agencies, there are phones that's

323
00:12:29,125 --> 00:12:30,904
I mean, computers that say unclassified

324
00:12:31,605 --> 00:12:33,065
when you log into them.

325
00:12:34,090 --> 00:12:35,309
At least in DOD,

326
00:12:37,049 --> 00:12:38,809
you knew what kind of a computer was

327
00:12:38,889 --> 00:12:41,129
you were on based upon the background color

328
00:12:41,129 --> 00:12:41,870
of the screen.

329
00:12:43,690 --> 00:12:45,230
If you were on a green screen,

330
00:12:45,954 --> 00:12:48,274
you're you're one level. If you are on

331
00:12:48,274 --> 00:12:50,674
a red screen, you are on another level.

332
00:12:50,674 --> 00:12:53,235
If you are on a yellow screen, you're

333
00:12:53,235 --> 00:12:54,534
on another level.

334
00:12:54,995 --> 00:12:57,154
So, you know, dependent on the color of

335
00:12:57,154 --> 00:12:57,815
the screen.

336
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,420
Just to remind you.

337
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:03,779
So

338
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,160
I don't like the the situation here where

339
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,620
people are trying to hide

340
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,080
communications. If you're just trying to talk to

341
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,620
your friend, do as you want.

342
00:13:14,134 --> 00:13:15,995
But if you're talking about the JOB,

343
00:13:16,934 --> 00:13:19,115
there's a big, big, big, big issue there.

344
00:13:20,534 --> 00:13:22,315
Alright. And a very disturbing

345
00:13:23,095 --> 00:13:25,115
a very disturbing story here,

346
00:13:27,174 --> 00:13:29,115
and this this is very disturbing.

347
00:13:30,139 --> 00:13:33,100
An investigation has found that Match Group failed

348
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:35,019
to act on reports of sexual assault. Now

349
00:13:35,019 --> 00:13:38,399
the company who owns Tinder, Hinge, and OkCupid

350
00:13:38,779 --> 00:13:39,440
and more,

351
00:13:42,365 --> 00:13:42,865
apparently,

352
00:13:43,485 --> 00:13:44,705
and have been

353
00:13:45,085 --> 00:13:45,585
found.

354
00:13:47,725 --> 00:13:49,904
New investigation claims the parent company

355
00:13:50,684 --> 00:13:53,164
of TenderHinge, OkCupid, and other apps has turned

356
00:13:53,164 --> 00:13:55,804
a blind eye to allegedly abusive users on

357
00:13:55,804 --> 00:13:57,434
its platform. The eighteen

358
00:13:57,769 --> 00:14:00,410
month investigation found instances in which users were

359
00:14:00,410 --> 00:14:03,230
repeatedly reported for drugging or assaulting their dates.

360
00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:05,549
On such cases, a Colorado

361
00:14:05,850 --> 00:14:08,350
one such case involves a Colorado Colorado

362
00:14:08,730 --> 00:14:09,549
based cardiologist

363
00:14:10,675 --> 00:14:13,634
named Stephen Matthews. Over seven years, multiple women

364
00:14:13,634 --> 00:14:16,835
on Match's platforms reported him for drugging or

365
00:14:16,835 --> 00:14:19,654
raving them. Despite these reports, his Tinder profile

366
00:14:20,035 --> 00:14:23,235
was at one point given standout status reserved

367
00:14:23,235 --> 00:14:24,455
for popular profiles

368
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:27,830
and often requiring in app currency to interact

369
00:14:27,830 --> 00:14:28,330
with.

370
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:31,830
Matthews wasn't removed from the platform until two

371
00:14:31,830 --> 00:14:34,169
months after one survivor went to the police.

372
00:14:34,789 --> 00:14:37,669
Match Group subsequently dragged his feet when Hinge

373
00:14:37,669 --> 00:14:39,370
received a search warrant complying

374
00:14:39,934 --> 00:14:41,235
after seven month.

375
00:14:41,934 --> 00:14:44,254
He was sentenced to a hundred and fifty

376
00:14:44,254 --> 00:14:46,034
years to life in prison.

377
00:14:48,575 --> 00:14:50,514
How is something like this

378
00:14:51,534 --> 00:14:52,674
allowed to happen?

379
00:14:53,570 --> 00:14:55,190
How is this even

380
00:14:55,970 --> 00:14:56,470
possible?

381
00:14:58,450 --> 00:14:59,909
Since 02/2016,

382
00:14:59,970 --> 00:15:01,889
Match Group had been aware of which users

383
00:15:01,889 --> 00:15:04,629
were reportedly assaulting, drugging, or raping their dates.

384
00:15:04,769 --> 00:15:06,004
In 02/2019,

385
00:15:06,004 --> 00:15:08,884
Match Group Central database began recording each user

386
00:15:08,884 --> 00:15:11,205
reported for either assault or rape on any

387
00:15:11,205 --> 00:15:13,445
of its apps. Company insiders reported three years

388
00:15:13,445 --> 00:15:16,664
later, the system registered hundreds of incidents weekly,

389
00:15:16,965 --> 00:15:19,684
but the system was reported ineffective and easy

390
00:15:19,684 --> 00:15:20,424
to gain.

391
00:15:21,470 --> 00:15:24,589
Users could easily evade evade bans by excuse

392
00:15:24,589 --> 00:15:26,209
me, evade bans

393
00:15:26,589 --> 00:15:28,929
by signing up with different contact information.

394
00:15:29,549 --> 00:15:32,350
Internal company documents show information on IP address,

395
00:15:32,350 --> 00:15:34,509
photos, and birthday were not used to ban

396
00:15:34,509 --> 00:15:35,089
a user

397
00:15:35,825 --> 00:15:38,404
if they appeared in another Match dating app.

398
00:15:38,865 --> 00:15:40,865
A Tinder user banned for reports of rape

399
00:15:40,865 --> 00:15:43,524
could simply jump ship to Hinge without issue.

400
00:15:43,904 --> 00:15:46,785
There reportedly many tutorial online for methods to

401
00:15:46,785 --> 00:15:47,764
evade bans.

402
00:15:50,429 --> 00:15:52,669
Wow. In 2020, Match Group stated it would

403
00:15:52,669 --> 00:15:55,629
release a transparency rate, disturbing harm conduct in

404
00:15:55,629 --> 00:15:56,929
relation to its platform.

405
00:15:57,389 --> 00:15:59,889
That report has never been released.

406
00:16:03,389 --> 00:16:03,889
So

407
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:06,084
by 2022,

408
00:16:06,084 --> 00:16:08,164
Match Group entered a major partnership with background

409
00:16:08,164 --> 00:16:09,304
check company Garbo.

410
00:16:09,845 --> 00:16:11,764
The next year, that partnership was dissolved with

411
00:16:11,764 --> 00:16:14,404
Garbo writing public. It made clear that most

412
00:16:14,404 --> 00:16:17,204
online platforms aren't legitimately committed to trust and

413
00:16:17,204 --> 00:16:18,504
safety for their users.

414
00:16:22,379 --> 00:16:23,360
This is crazy.

415
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:26,959
This is crazy

416
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:29,279
that this is going on.

417
00:16:30,459 --> 00:16:30,959
Ladies,

418
00:16:31,659 --> 00:16:33,919
ladies, ladies, late ladies and gentlemen,

419
00:16:34,654 --> 00:16:36,514
be very careful out there. Okay?

420
00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:37,554
Please.

421
00:16:38,415 --> 00:16:40,335
If you're gonna meet someone, meet them in

422
00:16:40,335 --> 00:16:41,315
a public place.

423
00:16:43,535 --> 00:16:45,955
You know, be very, very careful.

424
00:16:48,059 --> 00:16:49,759
This is, this is disturbing

425
00:16:50,779 --> 00:16:53,259
that this is out there, and shame on

426
00:16:53,259 --> 00:16:55,740
this company for for not doing anything. There's

427
00:16:55,740 --> 00:16:57,200
been instances I've heard

428
00:16:57,659 --> 00:16:58,159
in

429
00:16:58,700 --> 00:16:59,200
Colombia

430
00:16:59,735 --> 00:17:00,795
where it's the opposite

431
00:17:01,175 --> 00:17:02,315
situation where

432
00:17:02,615 --> 00:17:05,015
men are matching with women and then women

433
00:17:05,015 --> 00:17:07,494
agreeing to meet men, and the women show

434
00:17:07,494 --> 00:17:10,055
up with two women and waiting down the

435
00:17:10,055 --> 00:17:11,994
hallway is assailants,

436
00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:15,589
And they're drugged and robbed of everything they

437
00:17:15,589 --> 00:17:16,089
have.

438
00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:19,130
So it's going both ways.

439
00:17:19,910 --> 00:17:22,789
So be careful. Be very, very careful out

440
00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:24,089
there, you know,

441
00:17:25,445 --> 00:17:28,345
Bad, bad, bad, bad people for sure.

442
00:17:31,605 --> 00:17:33,845
Moving on. YouTube TV app could get much

443
00:17:33,845 --> 00:17:35,625
easier use with two new features.

444
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:37,160
And,

445
00:17:37,859 --> 00:17:39,940
YouTube has just recently announced that,

446
00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:42,900
YouTube is now primarily watch on smart TVs

447
00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:43,960
in United States.

448
00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:47,000
And, so that means that

449
00:17:47,460 --> 00:17:49,000
the the very, very poor

450
00:17:49,755 --> 00:17:52,255
experience that YouTube offers on most TVs,

451
00:17:52,714 --> 00:17:54,575
it's time is coming to be updated.

452
00:17:55,434 --> 00:17:57,674
So they're going to be laying out new

453
00:17:57,674 --> 00:18:00,315
features, including ways to comment, which you can

454
00:18:00,315 --> 00:18:03,055
never do. You could only thumbs up with

455
00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:03,775
with videos.

456
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:07,500
So there's gonna be some key changes here

457
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:10,460
to make it, more

458
00:18:10,919 --> 00:18:11,419
interactive,

459
00:18:11,879 --> 00:18:13,019
which will be great.

460
00:18:14,519 --> 00:18:16,279
The first new features are geared on the

461
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:18,279
second screen experience allowing you to use your

462
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:18,779
phone

463
00:18:19,914 --> 00:18:22,095
to interact with the video watching on TV.

464
00:18:22,715 --> 00:18:24,275
For example, to leave a comment or make

465
00:18:24,275 --> 00:18:25,775
a purchase or make a donation.

466
00:18:27,275 --> 00:18:29,835
So that I'm not surprised about. That kinda

467
00:18:29,835 --> 00:18:30,974
works a little bit

468
00:18:31,595 --> 00:18:32,095
already.

469
00:18:33,289 --> 00:18:36,269
So looking forward to see these, YouTube TV

470
00:18:36,970 --> 00:18:38,990
not YouTube TV, but YouTube

471
00:18:39,849 --> 00:18:41,309
updates for TV.

472
00:18:42,809 --> 00:18:45,690
In a very disturbing article, this headline just

473
00:18:45,690 --> 00:18:46,910
really caught my attention.

474
00:18:47,615 --> 00:18:49,375
And when I read this to you, you're

475
00:18:49,375 --> 00:18:51,154
gonna be kinda weirded out too.

476
00:18:52,734 --> 00:18:55,695
Oracle head Larry Ellison wants to put all

477
00:18:55,695 --> 00:18:58,255
of America's data into one big system to

478
00:18:58,255 --> 00:18:58,755
study,

479
00:18:59,134 --> 00:19:00,434
including your DNA.

480
00:19:04,509 --> 00:19:05,009
Now

481
00:19:06,029 --> 00:19:08,590
my DNA is already on file with US

482
00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:09,090
government.

483
00:19:10,349 --> 00:19:11,789
They you know, that's part of the thing

484
00:19:11,789 --> 00:19:14,769
of being a military person. If you get

485
00:19:15,085 --> 00:19:17,085
killed and they need to figure out, who

486
00:19:17,085 --> 00:19:19,105
you are later from remains,

487
00:19:19,965 --> 00:19:22,684
that aren't recognizable, they can, you know, run

488
00:19:22,684 --> 00:19:24,545
your d DNA through a database.

489
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:27,085
I'm good with that. I know I I

490
00:19:27,085 --> 00:19:28,465
know I handed that over

491
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,920
on purpose. And some of you have done

492
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,480
23 and me and genealogy.com

493
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,860
and got your DNA tested.

494
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:37,240
And, you know, so some of that data

495
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,840
is out there in the wild on you

496
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,340
already.

497
00:19:41,035 --> 00:19:43,515
And but he said government should centralize all

498
00:19:43,515 --> 00:19:46,335
their data, including citizens' health data, enhance services

499
00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:48,954
and security. I don't trust the government with

500
00:19:48,954 --> 00:19:49,454
anything.

501
00:19:51,275 --> 00:19:53,515
He says we've already presented with countless studies

502
00:19:53,515 --> 00:19:56,320
touching on poor data foundations often caused by

503
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,220
siloed data.

504
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,660
Well, speaking of silos, I guess, you know,

505
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,660
it also includes caves.

506
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:05,920
By making economic health care and infrastructure mission

507
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,059
available, essentially, he envisions enhanced health care with

508
00:20:09,234 --> 00:20:09,974
personalized treatments,

509
00:20:10,355 --> 00:20:13,234
improve agriculture productivity with better land and crop

510
00:20:13,234 --> 00:20:14,534
analysis. But

511
00:20:14,914 --> 00:20:15,974
okay. So

512
00:20:16,595 --> 00:20:17,974
why do you need our DNA?

513
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:24,400
It's been already been proven pharma and the

514
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,380
health care system

515
00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:27,380
cannot protect our data.

516
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,859
You know? So much for HIPAA.

517
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,099
All this stuff is already

518
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,339
finding its way onto the Internet,

519
00:20:35,664 --> 00:20:37,765
so there's nothing sacred anymore.

520
00:20:39,664 --> 00:20:41,605
And it's no wonder people are

521
00:20:42,785 --> 00:20:43,285
hesitant

522
00:20:45,505 --> 00:20:47,105
to have stuff. You know, I just had

523
00:20:47,105 --> 00:20:48,805
a doctor's appointment, Tuesday

524
00:20:49,829 --> 00:20:52,150
for, blood sugar. And, yeah, by the way,

525
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:52,809
I'm down.

526
00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:54,950
My blood sugar is down. I'm doing better.

527
00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:57,049
My doc was pleased with me.

528
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:58,250
And,

529
00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:02,390
you know, we had a good conversation. But

530
00:21:02,390 --> 00:21:03,929
all the time we're talking, he's

531
00:21:05,394 --> 00:21:06,375
into the computer

532
00:21:06,914 --> 00:21:10,214
and putting in my information into a digital

533
00:21:10,275 --> 00:21:12,355
record. It's being held at the VA, which

534
00:21:12,355 --> 00:21:14,454
I'm sure has great security.

535
00:21:16,595 --> 00:21:18,275
I've been open on this show. I've talked

536
00:21:18,275 --> 00:21:20,640
about having type two diabetes, so it's no

537
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,380
secret.

538
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:24,880
But some of you have health concerns that

539
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,140
you don't want anyone knowing about.

540
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,059
Your status.

541
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,019
You know, health status.

542
00:21:34,765 --> 00:21:36,845
You don't want that information getting out because

543
00:21:36,845 --> 00:21:37,345
people

544
00:21:37,804 --> 00:21:39,724
can be weird, and it can be held

545
00:21:39,724 --> 00:21:41,724
against you and used against you. I get

546
00:21:41,724 --> 00:21:42,224
it.

547
00:21:46,044 --> 00:21:47,825
You know, someone living with a

548
00:21:48,125 --> 00:21:51,519
a ecumenical disease that has got stigmatism around

549
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:53,220
it definitely would not want

550
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,940
that data to be in the open.

551
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,140
So

552
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,039
I I don't know. You know? It it

553
00:22:03,724 --> 00:22:05,085
I don't know if we're ever gonna be

554
00:22:05,085 --> 00:22:07,085
secure. I guess everybody's business is just gonna

555
00:22:07,085 --> 00:22:07,904
be out there.

556
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:10,705
I definitely don't want the government holding anything.

557
00:22:10,924 --> 00:22:13,105
They you know, my whole life story

558
00:22:13,404 --> 00:22:14,945
is in the Chinese hands.

559
00:22:15,565 --> 00:22:16,924
You know? They got it. They've got it.

560
00:22:16,924 --> 00:22:18,705
My history from when I was a teenager

561
00:22:18,765 --> 00:22:19,265
to,

562
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:21,960
you know, till I was 45 years old

563
00:22:23,059 --> 00:22:23,799
or older.

564
00:22:25,619 --> 00:22:26,119
Everything.

565
00:22:29,380 --> 00:22:29,880
So,

566
00:22:30,180 --> 00:22:32,339
you know, if you've had your data put

567
00:22:32,339 --> 00:22:33,799
out there for the world,

568
00:22:34,555 --> 00:22:36,715
you know, you you have a consideration on

569
00:22:36,715 --> 00:22:38,815
this stuff. You understand the impact.

570
00:22:41,275 --> 00:22:43,115
And then there's another story out here that

571
00:22:43,115 --> 00:22:46,494
AI chatbots could outperform doctors in diagnosing patients.

572
00:22:47,849 --> 00:22:48,829
This is a study

573
00:22:49,210 --> 00:22:51,950
compared whether chatbots can diagnose patients

574
00:22:52,410 --> 00:22:54,109
accurately and quicker than doctors.

575
00:22:56,250 --> 00:22:58,490
The study suggests physicians who have access to

576
00:22:58,490 --> 00:23:02,085
a large language model, which underpin generative AI

577
00:23:02,085 --> 00:23:05,445
chatbot demonstrate improved performance on several patient care

578
00:23:05,445 --> 00:23:05,945
tasks

579
00:23:06,325 --> 00:23:07,384
compared to colleagues

580
00:23:07,845 --> 00:23:09,384
without access to the tech.

581
00:23:10,565 --> 00:23:13,205
Now I had a situation that happened to

582
00:23:13,205 --> 00:23:15,144
me that I talked to my doc about

583
00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:18,440
that could have been one of two things,

584
00:23:19,299 --> 00:23:21,460
and I was worried about it being item

585
00:23:21,460 --> 00:23:23,400
b. And we talked extensively

586
00:23:23,859 --> 00:23:24,359
about

587
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:27,080
the one thing that

588
00:23:27,460 --> 00:23:28,759
he thought it was,

589
00:23:29,914 --> 00:23:32,154
Where I, on the other hand, was more

590
00:23:32,154 --> 00:23:34,894
worried about b, and I brought b up

591
00:23:35,275 --> 00:23:37,035
because guess what I had done? I had

592
00:23:37,035 --> 00:23:39,294
done a little bit of looking around myself.

593
00:23:40,154 --> 00:23:42,174
Of course, doctors hate that.

594
00:23:43,539 --> 00:23:46,039
But, you know, he took a deeper look

595
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:47,960
because I'd self educated myself

596
00:23:48,340 --> 00:23:49,799
on a and b.

597
00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:52,500
And we had a discussion about, okay. If

598
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:54,200
you see this again, b,

599
00:23:54,580 --> 00:23:55,720
come back to the doctor.

600
00:23:58,205 --> 00:24:00,205
And, a, if you think it if it

601
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:01,805
happens and we're you know, he was giving

602
00:24:01,805 --> 00:24:03,505
me two directives on what to do.

603
00:24:06,045 --> 00:24:06,545
And

604
00:24:07,325 --> 00:24:08,384
around blood sugar.

605
00:24:10,125 --> 00:24:10,625
So

606
00:24:14,740 --> 00:24:15,960
the AI stuff,

607
00:24:18,179 --> 00:24:18,679
potentially

608
00:24:19,059 --> 00:24:21,299
and I didn't use AI to find what

609
00:24:21,299 --> 00:24:22,359
I was looking for.

610
00:24:23,634 --> 00:24:25,634
I just did a search. Of course, that's

611
00:24:25,634 --> 00:24:26,855
no more better than

612
00:24:27,154 --> 00:24:28,694
a security release. Right?

613
00:24:29,234 --> 00:24:30,835
And it said, oh, it could have been

614
00:24:30,835 --> 00:24:31,335
that.

615
00:24:32,115 --> 00:24:34,054
You should've went to the doctor immediately.

616
00:24:38,450 --> 00:24:40,529
So the under the research undertaken by more

617
00:24:40,529 --> 00:24:42,549
than a dozen physicians at Beth Israel

618
00:24:42,849 --> 00:24:45,569
Deaconess Medical Center showed GenAI's promise on an

619
00:24:45,569 --> 00:24:46,950
open end decision making.

620
00:24:47,329 --> 00:24:49,890
However, this will require rigorous validation to realize

621
00:24:49,890 --> 00:24:51,944
LMS potential enhancing patient care.

622
00:24:52,904 --> 00:24:55,384
Unlike diagnostic reasoning, it tasks often with a

623
00:24:55,384 --> 00:24:58,444
single right answer, which LMS excel at. Management

624
00:24:58,984 --> 00:25:01,784
reasoning may have no right answer involves weighing

625
00:25:01,784 --> 00:25:02,524
trade offs.

626
00:25:03,144 --> 00:25:04,684
The conclusion based on evaluations,

627
00:25:05,384 --> 00:25:08,400
about the decision making capabilities of 92 physicians

628
00:25:08,779 --> 00:25:11,840
as they work through five hypothetical patient cases.

629
00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:15,259
They focus on the physicians managing reasoning, which

630
00:25:15,259 --> 00:25:18,380
include decision on testing, treatment, patient preferences, social

631
00:25:18,380 --> 00:25:19,759
factors, cost, and risk.

632
00:25:22,325 --> 00:25:22,825
Now

633
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:27,224
I asked my doc

634
00:25:27,845 --> 00:25:28,345
about,

635
00:25:29,204 --> 00:25:31,845
a certain drug that's being very popular right

636
00:25:31,845 --> 00:25:33,700
now. I don't wanna take it, But I

637
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,380
asked, does the VA offer? They said, oh,

638
00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:37,380
we're not supposed to talk about that because

639
00:25:37,380 --> 00:25:38,820
if we didn't make it available, it's gonna

640
00:25:38,820 --> 00:25:39,940
be a $10,000,000,000

641
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:41,860
bill for the government. I asked them about

642
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:42,360
Ozempic.

643
00:25:43,539 --> 00:25:44,039
And,

644
00:25:45,904 --> 00:25:47,664
you know, I said, you know, what's this

645
00:25:47,664 --> 00:25:49,664
thing about people going blind and a whole

646
00:25:49,664 --> 00:25:51,184
bunch you know? He says, yeah. There's some

647
00:25:51,184 --> 00:25:53,505
stuff out there. You got a thyroid cancer

648
00:25:53,505 --> 00:25:55,025
and, you know, some things they have to

649
00:25:55,025 --> 00:25:55,845
watch for.

650
00:25:56,784 --> 00:25:59,265
Because when I was, in The Philippines, you

651
00:25:59,265 --> 00:26:02,029
can get that particular product very, very cheap

652
00:26:02,029 --> 00:26:03,170
over the counter

653
00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:06,190
compared to here where it's, you know, with

654
00:26:06,190 --> 00:26:07,630
insurance, like, $1,400

655
00:26:07,630 --> 00:26:08,690
or something a month.

656
00:26:09,230 --> 00:26:10,910
So we're having a discussion about that, and

657
00:26:10,910 --> 00:26:12,609
they're not supposed to talk about it,

658
00:26:12,994 --> 00:26:13,654
you know,

659
00:26:14,115 --> 00:26:16,295
because the VA doesn't wanna give this out.

660
00:26:16,434 --> 00:26:17,654
I rightly understand.

661
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:20,775
I'm not a candidate for it anyway.

662
00:26:21,555 --> 00:26:22,855
I'm not that fat

663
00:26:23,555 --> 00:26:26,035
even though I, you know, sitting at $1.97

664
00:26:26,035 --> 00:26:27,255
right now. So

665
00:26:27,555 --> 00:26:28,375
but, anyway,

666
00:26:29,299 --> 00:26:31,000
how's that all have to do with this

667
00:26:31,059 --> 00:26:33,700
AI chatbot stuff? Well, we may soon be

668
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:34,680
talking to chatbots.

669
00:26:37,460 --> 00:26:39,859
Google will use AI determine if you're lying

670
00:26:39,859 --> 00:26:41,380
about your age. The company says it's part

671
00:26:41,380 --> 00:26:43,480
of an effort to provide more age appropriate

672
00:26:46,714 --> 00:26:47,214
experiences.

673
00:26:47,515 --> 00:26:48,795
The company said in a blog post, the

674
00:26:48,795 --> 00:26:50,875
model the model expect to launch later this

675
00:26:50,875 --> 00:26:53,375
year intends to provide more age appropriate experiences

676
00:26:53,434 --> 00:26:54,494
for young users.

677
00:26:54,875 --> 00:26:56,779
So how are they gonna do this? The

678
00:26:56,779 --> 00:26:58,940
announcement comes as tech companies are feigning pressure

679
00:26:58,940 --> 00:27:01,599
from lawmakers to make platforms safer for users.

680
00:27:02,619 --> 00:27:04,859
Last year, made to induce a similar AI

681
00:27:04,859 --> 00:27:06,700
model that will help determine if a user

682
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:08,159
is under the age of 18.

683
00:27:08,954 --> 00:27:10,714
I think all of us guys will be

684
00:27:10,714 --> 00:27:13,054
flagged for being under the age of 18.

685
00:27:14,474 --> 00:27:16,075
They won't be able to tell. Only the

686
00:27:16,075 --> 00:27:18,234
ladies will be able to be figured out

687
00:27:18,234 --> 00:27:19,775
if they're older than 18.

688
00:27:20,394 --> 00:27:23,000
I'm just joking, but you you all know

689
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,059
what I'm talking about.

690
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:26,539
So, time will tell here.

691
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:30,140
Waze. I quit using Waze.

692
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:31,900
Waze became so

693
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,960
unusable to me, so I guess I have

694
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,019
to check it out again.

695
00:27:35,365 --> 00:27:36,884
Waze has got the big update that makes

696
00:27:36,884 --> 00:27:39,144
it easier to navigate your favorite places.

697
00:27:39,845 --> 00:27:42,325
Waze's new button allows for faster navigation to

698
00:27:42,325 --> 00:27:42,825
favorite

699
00:27:43,365 --> 00:27:44,424
spots. Okay.

700
00:27:45,365 --> 00:27:47,444
The recent update allows a general update of

701
00:27:47,444 --> 00:27:48,424
the user interface,

702
00:27:48,829 --> 00:27:51,950
speed bump alerts, and lead merging notifications are

703
00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:53,570
also now a feature.

704
00:27:55,309 --> 00:27:57,390
So, you know, Google and and Apple Maps

705
00:27:57,390 --> 00:27:59,710
are caught up. Well, there's been integration with

706
00:27:59,710 --> 00:28:01,170
Google and Waze, of course.

707
00:28:02,035 --> 00:28:02,535
But,

708
00:28:02,914 --> 00:28:05,714
you know, Waze really to me become a

709
00:28:05,714 --> 00:28:08,275
pretty unuseful app for a long time. What

710
00:28:08,275 --> 00:28:09,875
did I use it mostly for? Believe it

711
00:28:09,875 --> 00:28:12,295
or not, was, you know, where's Smokey?

712
00:28:13,890 --> 00:28:16,789
You know, where where's where's the speed trap?

713
00:28:16,849 --> 00:28:19,830
You know? And my, what's funny is

714
00:28:20,369 --> 00:28:22,630
now my in as long as I'm using

715
00:28:22,690 --> 00:28:22,849
my,

716
00:28:25,170 --> 00:28:25,670
Apple

717
00:28:26,130 --> 00:28:27,029
Apple CarPlay,

718
00:28:27,515 --> 00:28:29,275
you know, I get a pop up speed

719
00:28:29,275 --> 00:28:31,275
trap ahead. I don't have to be using

720
00:28:31,275 --> 00:28:32,095
Waze anymore.

721
00:28:33,515 --> 00:28:36,634
It's usually pretty accurate too. Nvidia systems could

722
00:28:36,634 --> 00:28:37,615
be facing another

723
00:28:38,075 --> 00:28:40,735
worrying security flaw. They it has been patched.

724
00:28:41,250 --> 00:28:43,269
There they confirms a new bug in container

725
00:28:43,329 --> 00:28:45,750
toolkit toolkit and GPU operator.

726
00:28:46,049 --> 00:28:48,390
The bug allows malicious actors to execute

727
00:28:48,769 --> 00:28:49,589
code remotely,

728
00:28:50,289 --> 00:28:52,609
so there is a fix out there. So

729
00:28:52,930 --> 00:28:56,265
but there is potentially patch bypass, so be

730
00:28:56,265 --> 00:28:59,144
aware of that. That affects you for those

731
00:28:59,144 --> 00:29:00,285
of you in IT.

732
00:29:00,664 --> 00:29:02,585
Prime Video just launched a new app for

733
00:29:02,585 --> 00:29:05,325
Apple TV devices with six major improvements.

734
00:29:06,025 --> 00:29:08,365
You know, give me the six major improvements.

735
00:29:08,809 --> 00:29:10,490
They're saying, you know, here's the thing. They

736
00:29:10,490 --> 00:29:12,269
they put on the the article.

737
00:29:13,609 --> 00:29:15,230
There are six notable improvements.

738
00:29:15,529 --> 00:29:19,210
Okay. Better responsiveness and accessibility. So that's one

739
00:29:19,210 --> 00:29:19,710
too.

740
00:29:20,089 --> 00:29:21,690
What else is there? And and I'm just

741
00:29:21,690 --> 00:29:24,944
looking through here, and it it really doesn't

742
00:29:25,004 --> 00:29:26,625
get into it very good.

743
00:29:28,444 --> 00:29:30,845
In app search, I guess, something to do

744
00:29:30,845 --> 00:29:31,664
with Siri.

745
00:29:32,365 --> 00:29:33,264
So, anyway,

746
00:29:33,884 --> 00:29:36,065
are you guys using Prime Video at all?

747
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,680
I don't think I've been on Prime Video

748
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,619
in in months, to be frank.

749
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,160
But come on. You're gonna say that six

750
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,779
improvements. Give me the six improvements.

751
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:49,259
Meta

752
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,075
x. No. X. X will pay $10,000,000

753
00:29:53,075 --> 00:29:54,454
to settle lawsuit over

754
00:29:54,755 --> 00:29:57,015
Donald Trump's Twitter suspension. Oh.

755
00:29:57,795 --> 00:29:58,775
Oh, so

756
00:29:59,154 --> 00:30:01,875
Elon and company have to pay even though

757
00:30:01,875 --> 00:30:02,615
they're bros,

758
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:05,700
they gotta pay,

759
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,279
The Donald the president ten million. Now Meta

760
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:11,859
recently settled for 25,000,000.

761
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:14,640
So this was a lawsuit that was filed

762
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,839
on the 2021

763
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:16,980
suspension from

764
00:30:17,684 --> 00:30:19,065
then previously, Twitter.

765
00:30:21,524 --> 00:30:23,524
The question is how much will CBS have

766
00:30:23,524 --> 00:30:25,605
to pay? That's gonna be the question that's

767
00:30:25,605 --> 00:30:26,345
out there.

768
00:30:27,284 --> 00:30:28,804

very, very much.

816
00:32:12,884 --> 00:32:15,525
Upcoming, a total lunar eclipse brings a blood

817
00:32:15,525 --> 00:32:17,464
moon to North America next month.

818
00:32:17,924 --> 00:32:18,424
So

819
00:32:18,964 --> 00:32:21,224
what? This a this is a old one.

820
00:32:21,684 --> 00:32:22,664
No. It's not.

821
00:32:23,869 --> 00:32:26,269
I saw a date of November 2022. They

822
00:32:26,269 --> 00:32:28,110
didn't update. Look look at this, ladies and

823
00:32:28,110 --> 00:32:28,610
gentlemen.

824
00:32:29,789 --> 00:32:32,529
Why is something's wrong with this headline.

825
00:32:32,830 --> 00:32:34,910
Total lunar eclipse springs a blood and moon,

826
00:32:34,910 --> 00:32:37,005
and then right below it, it says, Earth

827
00:32:37,005 --> 00:32:39,484
will soon experience a first total lunar eclipse

828
00:32:39,484 --> 00:32:41,964
since February.

829
00:32:41,964 --> 00:32:43,964
Okay. Maybe how does one relate to the

830
00:32:43,964 --> 00:32:44,464
other?

831
00:32:44,845 --> 00:32:47,484
So the lunar eclipse will happen overnight between

832
00:32:47,484 --> 00:32:50,365
March 13 and March 14. Oh, and okay.

833
00:32:50,365 --> 00:32:52,400
I guess so. And will be the first

834
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,940
total lunar eclipse.

835
00:32:55,119 --> 00:32:55,779
I'm dumb.

836
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,640
I didn't you know, that's what happens when

837
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,240
I read this stuff. Don't read it good

838
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,559
enough before I talk about it, and this

839
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:05,575
is just it. So, yes, a total lunar

840
00:33:05,575 --> 00:33:08,775
eclipse, oh my god, will happen overnight between

841
00:33:08,775 --> 00:33:11,335
March 13 and March 14 and will be

842
00:33:11,335 --> 00:33:13,115
the first total lunar eclipse

843
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:16,795
seen anywhere in the world since November 2022.

844
00:33:17,255 --> 00:33:17,575
So,

845
00:33:19,450 --> 00:33:20,889
where are we gonna be able to see

846
00:33:20,889 --> 00:33:21,389
it

847
00:33:22,329 --> 00:33:22,829
overnight?

848
00:33:26,409 --> 00:33:27,710
Anywhere in the world.

849
00:33:28,569 --> 00:33:29,210
So where

850
00:33:31,375 --> 00:33:32,894
alright. Link will be in the show notes.

851
00:33:32,894 --> 00:33:34,034
We can check it out.

852
00:33:36,255 --> 00:33:39,134
Citing too much bureaucracy, Blue Origin has been

853
00:33:39,134 --> 00:33:41,315
a cut 10% of its work workforce.

854
00:33:42,414 --> 00:33:43,394
Too much bureaucracy.

855
00:33:44,575 --> 00:33:45,634
What does that mean?

856
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:49,359
Too much bureaucracy.

857
00:33:51,099 --> 00:33:52,480
And you're cutting 10%?

858
00:33:52,779 --> 00:33:54,460
I don't get it. What what does that

859
00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:56,079
mean? Too much bureaucracy.

860
00:33:57,420 --> 00:33:58,720
Too many pencil pushers?

861
00:33:59,365 --> 00:34:01,865
I guess so. So that was announced today.

862
00:34:02,644 --> 00:34:04,884
Of course, Elon Musk and Sam Altman are

863
00:34:04,884 --> 00:34:07,605
still sparring over 97,400,000,000.0

864
00:34:07,605 --> 00:34:09,545
OpenAI bid in court filings.

865
00:34:09,925 --> 00:34:12,484
So they've been in court. But, basically, what

866
00:34:12,484 --> 00:34:14,324
people have said is this just is a

867
00:34:14,324 --> 00:34:14,824
play.

868
00:34:15,630 --> 00:34:17,089
Elon has made this bid,

869
00:34:17,869 --> 00:34:20,030
and what it's really doing is throwing a

870
00:34:20,030 --> 00:34:22,670
wrench and them having the ability to change

871
00:34:22,670 --> 00:34:25,069
the business model of OpenAI because of this

872
00:34:25,069 --> 00:34:25,569
evaluation

873
00:34:25,949 --> 00:34:28,644
that they've, placed upon. The company said, hey.

874
00:34:28,644 --> 00:34:30,484
We're willing to pay 97,400,000,000.0

875
00:34:30,484 --> 00:34:32,984
for it. And yet they wanna change

876
00:34:33,284 --> 00:34:35,144
the business model and undervalue

877
00:34:35,924 --> 00:34:37,444
the company. It's it there's a little bit

878
00:34:37,444 --> 00:34:38,484
of a play on it. I saw a

879
00:34:38,484 --> 00:34:39,704
YouTube video on this.

880
00:34:40,170 --> 00:34:40,670
And,

881
00:34:41,130 --> 00:34:43,710
it this all cash offer undermines

882
00:34:44,010 --> 00:34:45,690
the very claim at the heart of the

883
00:34:45,690 --> 00:34:47,949
lawsuit that its assets can't be transferred

884
00:34:48,489 --> 00:34:50,989
away for private gain. So

885
00:34:52,329 --> 00:34:54,030
this, this lawsuit

886
00:34:55,065 --> 00:34:58,125
is to thwart OpenAI's plan to convert

887
00:34:58,425 --> 00:35:00,364
to a for profit entity.

888
00:35:01,144 --> 00:35:02,905
And, so, anyway, they

889
00:35:03,545 --> 00:35:05,484
Altman's saying it's improper bid,

890
00:35:05,945 --> 00:35:06,425
and,

891
00:35:06,905 --> 00:35:10,539
OpenAI's board is going to is prepared to,

892
00:35:10,539 --> 00:35:12,859
you know, preserve the charity mission, blah blah

893
00:35:12,859 --> 00:35:15,179
blah, and the judge is kinda skeptical. She

894
00:35:15,179 --> 00:35:17,420
kinda see what's going on here, but it's

895
00:35:17,420 --> 00:35:20,699
all fun and games. Billionaires having billionaire spats.

896
00:35:20,699 --> 00:35:22,159
That's what it's really about.

897
00:35:23,295 --> 00:35:26,434
Amazon robots, a $10,000,000,000

898
00:35:26,574 --> 00:35:27,635
cost cutter.

899
00:35:28,734 --> 00:35:31,934
So Amazon's under the radar robot push is

900
00:35:31,934 --> 00:35:34,815
widening its competitive lead in retail and could

901
00:35:34,815 --> 00:35:36,114
boost its profit margins.

902
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,220
So think about this,

903
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,340
getting rid of workers.

904
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,300
Amazon's quite developed six significant next generation fulfillment

905
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:46,860
centers

906
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,025
that bring automation front and center. After a

907
00:35:50,025 --> 00:35:51,885
true one of the sites in Shreveport, Louisiana

908
00:35:52,025 --> 00:35:54,664
recognized the potential for more opening efficiencies in

909
00:35:54,664 --> 00:35:55,484
retail business.

910
00:35:56,344 --> 00:35:59,545
So they're basically trying to reduce fulfillment costs.

911
00:35:59,545 --> 00:36:02,364
It's about that makes up about 20%

912
00:36:03,144 --> 00:36:05,164
of, you know, of their cost.

913
00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:06,179
So

914
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,519
they could lead to $10,000,000,000

915
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:10,260
in savings

916
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:11,780
through automation,

917
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,860
getting rid of humans.

918
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,260
Now they won't get rid of them completely,

919
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:17,539
but

920
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,140
this is the

921
00:36:19,885 --> 00:36:20,385
the

922
00:36:21,164 --> 00:36:23,485
the the future is looking towards. Now Western

923
00:36:23,485 --> 00:36:25,565
Digital, how many of your fans are Western

924
00:36:25,565 --> 00:36:26,065
Digital,

925
00:36:27,005 --> 00:36:28,305
hard drives? Well,

926
00:36:29,325 --> 00:36:31,005
they're they're between a rock and a hard

927
00:36:31,005 --> 00:36:32,684
place. Western Digital has been told to pay

928
00:36:32,684 --> 00:36:34,305
half billion in patent damages

929
00:36:35,039 --> 00:36:35,539
before

930
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:37,219
the business splits.

931
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:41,140
So they are poised to become two publicly

932
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:43,039
traded companies, but the judge says,

933
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:46,480
before you restructure, you need to write a

934
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,800
$553,000,000

935
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,684
check for the in patent infringement case.

936
00:36:52,545 --> 00:36:55,105
So The US storage business was found by

937
00:36:55,105 --> 00:36:57,664
a jury in California, of course, to infringe

938
00:36:57,664 --> 00:37:00,405
on data encryption patents owned by Spex Technologies

939
00:37:00,545 --> 00:37:01,285
in October,

940
00:37:01,610 --> 00:37:03,550
told to pay 316,000,000,

941
00:37:03,690 --> 00:37:05,530
but because they haven't paid it, they got

942
00:37:05,530 --> 00:37:07,289
$237,000,000

943
00:37:07,289 --> 00:37:09,150
in interest charges on top.

944
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:10,909
Holy cow.

945
00:37:11,530 --> 00:37:14,090
What what rate are they charging the interest

946
00:37:14,090 --> 00:37:15,630
at this bad boy on?

947
00:37:15,974 --> 00:37:17,515
316,000,000,

948
00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:20,474
and it's now to another 237,000,000?

949
00:37:20,614 --> 00:37:22,155
I wanna see that math.

950
00:37:23,175 --> 00:37:23,675
Wow.

951
00:37:24,055 --> 00:37:25,835
Crazy. So we'll see what they do.

952
00:37:27,575 --> 00:37:29,835
The US Lawmakers are pressing the

953
00:37:30,510 --> 00:37:33,809
current administration opposed UK's order for Apple's iCloud

954
00:37:34,110 --> 00:37:36,190
backdoor. Yes. You guys in The UK, you

955
00:37:36,190 --> 00:37:39,390
know that they they want a backdoor to

956
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:39,890
iCloud.

957
00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:44,829
So senator Ron Wyden and representative Andy Biggs

958
00:37:44,829 --> 00:37:45,969
sent a letter to

959
00:37:46,485 --> 00:37:47,625
the new DNI

960
00:37:48,005 --> 00:37:49,305
today, Tulsi govern

961
00:37:49,684 --> 00:37:50,905
Tulsi Tulsi

962
00:37:51,204 --> 00:37:51,704
Gabbard

963
00:37:52,325 --> 00:37:54,744
arguing that if Apple complies with the unconfirmed

964
00:37:54,885 --> 00:37:57,065
demand from UK home office, it would jeopardize

965
00:37:57,125 --> 00:37:59,385
the security of both US citizens and government

966
00:37:59,445 --> 00:37:59,945
data.

967
00:38:01,170 --> 00:38:03,170
Apple does not make different versions of its

968
00:38:03,170 --> 00:38:05,489
encryption software for each market, the pair argue

969
00:38:05,489 --> 00:38:07,170
in the letter. If Apple is forced to

970
00:38:07,170 --> 00:38:07,989
build a backdoor

971
00:38:08,449 --> 00:38:10,849
in its products, that backdoor will end up

972
00:38:10,849 --> 00:38:13,914
undermining the security of Americans' data as well

973
00:38:13,914 --> 00:38:16,315
as countless federal, state, and local government agency

974
00:38:16,315 --> 00:38:18,894
and trust sensitive data to Apple products. Well,

975
00:38:19,674 --> 00:38:23,275
probably probably privately, the government must hate that

976
00:38:23,275 --> 00:38:25,295
they don't have a backdoor into

977
00:38:25,755 --> 00:38:26,255
iCloud.

978
00:38:27,989 --> 00:38:28,650
My suspicion

979
00:38:30,070 --> 00:38:31,210
is they do.

980
00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:34,789
That's my suspicion, and they just don't talk

981
00:38:34,789 --> 00:38:37,989
about it. That's that's my suspicion on this,

982
00:38:37,989 --> 00:38:40,489
but so we'll see what the new DNI

983
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:41,690
does.

984
00:38:42,305 --> 00:38:44,065
Tim Cook is teasing a new Apple launch

985
00:38:44,065 --> 00:38:46,565
next week and it's probably the iPhone SE,

986
00:38:46,625 --> 00:38:48,644
so we'll keep an eye on that.

987
00:38:49,184 --> 00:38:52,005
How many of you use Google's Family Link?

988
00:38:52,785 --> 00:38:54,805
I'm not familiar with this. This is definitely

989
00:38:55,949 --> 00:38:58,030
for those of you that have children and

990
00:38:58,030 --> 00:38:58,530
devices,

991
00:38:59,550 --> 00:39:01,730
and Family Link is getting a design refresh.

992
00:39:02,429 --> 00:39:04,349
School time will come to Android phones managed

993
00:39:04,349 --> 00:39:06,829
with Family Link starting next week, and parent

994
00:39:06,829 --> 00:39:08,989
managed controls will hit Family Link devices in

995
00:39:08,989 --> 00:39:11,414
the coming months. So if you're using Family

996
00:39:11,414 --> 00:39:13,095
Link, let me know. I heard,

997
00:39:15,095 --> 00:39:16,474
a good friend of mine,

998
00:39:17,335 --> 00:39:19,114
on his podcast talk about,

999
00:39:19,575 --> 00:39:21,195
how he had used,

1000
00:39:22,055 --> 00:39:22,555
child

1001
00:39:24,059 --> 00:39:26,000
settings in his kids' phones

1002
00:39:26,539 --> 00:39:28,700
so that when they got phones at, like,

1003
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,420
11 years old, they basically had them bad

1004
00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:32,640
boys locked down.

1005
00:39:33,180 --> 00:39:35,260
And I thought it was pretty interesting discussion,

1006
00:39:35,260 --> 00:39:36,800
and they were using iPhones.

1007
00:39:37,394 --> 00:39:40,135
And, we're talking about Google devices. So,

1008
00:39:40,594 --> 00:39:42,275
how many of you have locked your kids'

1009
00:39:42,275 --> 00:39:43,954
phones down? I'd love to hear your feedback.

1010
00:39:43,954 --> 00:39:45,735
Geeknews@gmail.com.

1011
00:39:46,914 --> 00:39:50,295
Salt tough Salt Typhoon strikes again. More USISPs.

1012
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,539
University and telecom networks hit by Chinese hackers.

1013
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:54,900
So,

1014
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:56,739
they're at it again.

1015
00:39:57,279 --> 00:40:00,159
The latest intrusion responded by cybersecurity researchers from

1016
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:01,139
Recorded Future,

1017
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,519
which said the group is targeting Internet exposed

1018
00:40:03,519 --> 00:40:04,980
web interface of Cisco,

1019
00:40:05,445 --> 00:40:06,184
iOS software

1020
00:40:07,045 --> 00:40:09,144
that powers different routers and switches.

1021
00:40:09,605 --> 00:40:10,805
More than 12,000

1022
00:40:10,805 --> 00:40:13,445
Cisco devices were were found connected to wider

1023
00:40:13,445 --> 00:40:15,144
Internet and exposed to risk.

1024
00:40:15,605 --> 00:40:17,925
This small subset of targets include US Internet

1025
00:40:17,925 --> 00:40:20,344
service providers and co telecommation firms,

1026
00:40:20,849 --> 00:40:23,090
a US affiliate of a UK telecom in

1027
00:40:23,090 --> 00:40:25,570
South Africa and Thailand, an Internet service provider

1028
00:40:25,570 --> 00:40:26,309
in Italy.

1029
00:40:27,489 --> 00:40:29,970
So it just wasn't The United States. It

1030
00:40:29,970 --> 00:40:30,289
was,

1031
00:40:31,410 --> 00:40:33,829
all over the place going after these devices.

1032
00:40:35,385 --> 00:40:38,025
It's being talked about over NPR, believe it

1033
00:40:38,025 --> 00:40:39,405
or not, is

1034
00:40:40,025 --> 00:40:41,005
the current administration,

1035
00:40:41,945 --> 00:40:44,184
is Trump the president, will truly set a

1036
00:40:44,184 --> 00:40:46,344
course for Mars and it goes into a

1037
00:40:46,344 --> 00:40:46,844
whole

1038
00:40:47,519 --> 00:40:48,019
discussion.

1039
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:50,500
I'm normally not a big NPR

1040
00:40:51,039 --> 00:40:52,340
reader or watcher.

1041
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,500
But,

1042
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:56,420
what do you guys think?

1043
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,219
I don't.

1044
00:40:59,835 --> 00:41:02,014
He said it during his inauguration

1045
00:41:02,474 --> 00:41:02,974
speech,

1046
00:41:03,514 --> 00:41:04,014
but

1047
00:41:04,474 --> 00:41:05,855
I'm, you know,

1048
00:41:06,155 --> 00:41:09,135
that's that's the US government's got enough problems.

1049
00:41:09,594 --> 00:41:11,275
We we don't have enough money to go

1050
00:41:11,275 --> 00:41:13,355
to the moon, let alone Mars right now,

1051
00:41:13,355 --> 00:41:13,855
so

1052
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,380
time will tell.

1053
00:41:16,639 --> 00:41:18,159
If you're in Las Vegas, you can now

1054
00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:20,019
eat in a Netflix themed restaurant.

1055
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,359
So seeing as it started as a service

1056
00:41:23,359 --> 00:41:25,119
sending DVDs in the mail, Netflix has come

1057
00:41:25,119 --> 00:41:26,719
away. Not only is it the most popular

1058
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:27,619
streaming service,

1059
00:41:27,945 --> 00:41:30,265
it's now it now has its own themed

1060
00:41:30,265 --> 00:41:30,765
restaurant,

1061
00:41:31,704 --> 00:41:32,184
and,

1062
00:41:33,065 --> 00:41:34,825
you can also go in there. It's called

1063
00:41:34,825 --> 00:41:36,125
Netflix Bites.

1064
00:41:37,224 --> 00:41:39,065
What hotel is it in? Does it say

1065
00:41:39,305 --> 00:41:41,545
let me let me do a little little,

1066
00:41:41,785 --> 00:41:42,285
investigation

1067
00:41:43,019 --> 00:41:43,519
here.

1068
00:41:44,780 --> 00:41:45,679
It's called

1069
00:41:46,539 --> 00:41:49,099
where's it gonna be? Does it say? It's

1070
00:41:49,099 --> 00:41:49,840
gonna be

1071
00:41:50,940 --> 00:41:53,739
at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. So

1072
00:41:53,739 --> 00:41:54,800
if you're in the MGM,

1073
00:41:55,494 --> 00:41:57,514
you can go eat at Netflix

1074
00:41:57,974 --> 00:41:58,875
Bites. Alright?

1075
00:41:59,734 --> 00:42:01,574
Google paid out $55,000

1076
00:42:01,574 --> 00:42:04,234
since bug bounty program for Chrome vulnerabilities.

1077
00:42:04,855 --> 00:42:06,375
I don't have that kind of budget, but

1078
00:42:06,375 --> 00:42:07,914
we do pay out bug bounty.

1079
00:42:08,295 --> 00:42:10,289
We paid out two this week to people

1080
00:42:10,289 --> 00:42:13,010
that discovered a little small bug in our

1081
00:42:13,010 --> 00:42:13,510
system.

1082
00:42:14,050 --> 00:42:14,550
And,

1083
00:42:15,329 --> 00:42:17,269
we do what we can, but we appreciate

1084
00:42:17,329 --> 00:42:19,730
when people are white hacking and basically say,

1085
00:42:19,730 --> 00:42:21,269
hey. You got a problem here.

1086
00:42:21,570 --> 00:42:23,809
So we've we we do pay on bit

1087
00:42:24,210 --> 00:42:25,110
bug bounties.

1088
00:42:26,875 --> 00:42:28,795
IBM is under fire as a return office

1089
00:42:28,795 --> 00:42:31,934
order suspected replacing human staff with AI,

1090
00:42:32,474 --> 00:42:33,514
and I think this is,

1091
00:42:35,114 --> 00:42:37,454
probably we're gonna see more of this.

1092
00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:40,630
But IBM's finance and operations team were given

1093
00:42:40,630 --> 00:42:41,369
an ultimatum.

1094
00:42:41,910 --> 00:42:44,630
Workers told they must move closer or accept

1095
00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:45,289
a redundancy

1096
00:42:45,590 --> 00:42:46,090
package.

1097
00:42:46,390 --> 00:42:46,890
Woah.

1098
00:42:48,150 --> 00:42:48,550
So,

1099
00:42:48,950 --> 00:42:50,650
I was what I was expecting,

1100
00:42:51,594 --> 00:42:53,515
actually to happen because they forced the government

1101
00:42:53,515 --> 00:42:56,315
workers back, I was expecting to hear something

1102
00:42:56,315 --> 00:42:58,155
in the news about people being fired in

1103
00:42:58,155 --> 00:43:00,235
the government that did not come back to

1104
00:43:00,235 --> 00:43:00,735
work.

1105
00:43:01,275 --> 00:43:03,195
That's what I was expecting, but we've heard

1106
00:43:03,195 --> 00:43:04,974
nothing of that so far.

1107
00:43:05,630 --> 00:43:06,849
Hey. A NASA telescope

1108
00:43:07,309 --> 00:43:10,110
stellar bouquet in time for Valentine's Day. Of

1109
00:43:10,110 --> 00:43:12,030
course, if you're listening to the show, it's

1110
00:43:12,030 --> 00:43:13,570
probably Valentine's Day.

1111
00:43:14,030 --> 00:43:16,030
But I'm looking at this, and to be

1112
00:43:16,030 --> 00:43:17,469
honest with you, the first thing I saw

1113
00:43:17,469 --> 00:43:18,530
was a middle finger

1114
00:43:19,715 --> 00:43:20,295
and not,

1115
00:43:21,074 --> 00:43:21,815
a bouquet.

1116
00:43:23,554 --> 00:43:25,394
Although I could see where the bouquet could

1117
00:43:25,394 --> 00:43:26,775
come in on the image,

1118
00:43:27,155 --> 00:43:29,414
but it looks like this might be

1119
00:43:29,715 --> 00:43:31,494
a troll here a little bit.

1120
00:43:32,469 --> 00:43:32,969
So

1121
00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:35,910
you you look at the, image and let

1122
00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:37,590
me know. Is it look like a middle

1123
00:43:37,590 --> 00:43:39,210
finger, or does it

1124
00:43:39,510 --> 00:43:40,730
look like a

1125
00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:41,530
bouquet?

1126
00:43:41,989 --> 00:43:43,349
I guess they want us to look at

1127
00:43:43,349 --> 00:43:43,590
the,

1128
00:43:44,230 --> 00:43:44,969
the red

1129
00:43:45,269 --> 00:43:47,050
inside and not the gas.

1130
00:43:49,795 --> 00:43:51,635
Very, very I just got a pop up.

1131
00:43:51,635 --> 00:43:53,954
What happened? Oh, yes. Let's come back to

1132
00:43:53,954 --> 00:43:54,454
this.

1133
00:43:55,235 --> 00:43:56,295
For some reason,

1134
00:43:56,675 --> 00:43:58,855
why did why did you do that, computer?

1135
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,420
Why did you take away my access to

1136
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:08,559
okay. It's back. I got this warning. It

1137
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:10,579
says, hey. Do you want NDI to

1138
00:44:11,039 --> 00:44:12,079
to show off that

1139
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,534
that was very weird. You know, there's a

1140
00:44:14,534 --> 00:44:15,835
setting now in,

1141
00:44:17,255 --> 00:44:19,255
on Macs that you have to give permission

1142
00:44:19,255 --> 00:44:20,315
every thirty days.

1143
00:44:20,694 --> 00:44:22,775
So the permission ran out while I was

1144
00:44:22,775 --> 00:44:24,855
showing this screen. That's why the screen went

1145
00:44:24,855 --> 00:44:25,355
black.

1146
00:44:26,054 --> 00:44:26,554
So

1147
00:44:27,059 --> 00:44:29,380
very, very odd. Okay. For those of you

1148
00:44:29,380 --> 00:44:30,599
listening, you don't care.

1149
00:44:31,860 --> 00:44:33,239
And a little bit of drama.

1150
00:44:34,019 --> 00:44:36,660
Astronomers sifting through data from the Murchison Wide

1151
00:44:36,660 --> 00:44:39,559
Field Array, a radio telescope in Western Australia,

1152
00:44:39,965 --> 00:44:42,144
found themselves confronting an unexpected

1153
00:44:42,445 --> 00:44:42,945
mystery.

1154
00:44:43,324 --> 00:44:45,804
The telescope, which consists of 4,096

1155
00:44:45,804 --> 00:44:48,304
spider like antennas designed to detect radio signals

1156
00:44:48,364 --> 00:44:51,244
more than 13,000,000,000 years ago, appeared to stumble

1157
00:44:51,244 --> 00:44:53,025
upon something far more local,

1158
00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:54,889
a television broadcast.

1159
00:44:55,429 --> 00:44:57,510
This was very puzzling given the telescope is

1160
00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:58,409
located in designated

1161
00:44:58,710 --> 00:45:01,510
radio quiet zone where the Australian government regulates

1162
00:45:01,510 --> 00:45:04,389
signal levels from all radio communication equipment, including

1163
00:45:04,389 --> 00:45:06,809
TV transmitters, Bluetooth devices, etcetera.

1164
00:45:07,625 --> 00:45:09,385
But it hit it because the signal was

1165
00:45:09,385 --> 00:45:09,885
moving.

1166
00:45:10,505 --> 00:45:11,484
Guess what happened?

1167
00:45:11,864 --> 00:45:12,684
The television

1168
00:45:13,144 --> 00:45:15,005
signal bounced off

1169
00:45:15,625 --> 00:45:16,605
an airplane.

1170
00:45:17,304 --> 00:45:17,804
Now

1171
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:26,619
I've known about this phenomenon since 1984.

1172
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:29,739
And if you think about it,

1173
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:31,420
when a radar

1174
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:32,940
is spinning

1175
00:45:34,304 --> 00:45:36,244
and it it's hitting,

1176
00:45:37,344 --> 00:45:38,005
you know,

1177
00:45:38,545 --> 00:45:39,364
an airplane

1178
00:45:39,744 --> 00:45:40,565
or hitting,

1179
00:45:41,025 --> 00:45:43,505
land, you know, especially a ground radar, maybe

1180
00:45:43,505 --> 00:45:45,585
it sees the mountains, you're getting a return

1181
00:45:45,585 --> 00:45:47,425
from the mountains, it can see the airspace

1182
00:45:47,425 --> 00:45:49,679
above the mountains, but you see the signal

1183
00:45:49,739 --> 00:45:50,239
of

1184
00:45:50,539 --> 00:45:52,539
of the terrain when you're on a ground

1185
00:45:52,539 --> 00:45:55,179
radar. Right? And you, obviously, you're looking into

1186
00:45:55,179 --> 00:45:57,099
the sky to see airplanes. But if there

1187
00:45:57,099 --> 00:45:57,920
is a

1188
00:45:58,780 --> 00:45:59,280
mountain

1189
00:46:00,875 --> 00:46:02,714
in line with the radar and there's an

1190
00:46:02,714 --> 00:46:05,194
airplane behind the mountain, obviously, you can't see

1191
00:46:05,194 --> 00:46:06,335
the airplane. Right?

1192
00:46:07,114 --> 00:46:07,614
Well,

1193
00:46:09,434 --> 00:46:11,914
what happens when the signal bounces off the

1194
00:46:11,914 --> 00:46:14,394
mountain and goes somewhere else, goes doesn't come

1195
00:46:14,394 --> 00:46:16,929
directly back to the antenna from scatter, and

1196
00:46:16,929 --> 00:46:18,150
it hits a

1197
00:46:18,449 --> 00:46:20,849
another object and then bounces in a way

1198
00:46:20,849 --> 00:46:22,469
that gets back into the antenna.

1199
00:46:24,929 --> 00:46:26,150
There's some cool things

1200
00:46:26,690 --> 00:46:27,989
that you can do with that.

1201
00:46:29,090 --> 00:46:30,309
If you know the math,

1202
00:46:32,385 --> 00:46:34,405
You can see something without seeing something.

1203
00:46:34,864 --> 00:46:37,025
It's very, very cool. It's go very cool.

1204
00:46:37,025 --> 00:46:38,405
It's it's it's basically

1205
00:46:39,425 --> 00:46:41,105
why is that not there or why it

1206
00:46:41,105 --> 00:46:41,844
is there?

1207
00:46:44,780 --> 00:46:46,239
I'll just leave it at that.

1208
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:51,880
I've known all about this kind of

1209
00:46:52,219 --> 00:46:55,420
this, multi you know, basically stuff traveling in

1210
00:46:55,420 --> 00:46:56,880
directions it shouldn't travel

1211
00:46:58,300 --> 00:46:59,440
for a long time.

1212
00:47:00,244 --> 00:47:01,305
It's pretty amazing,

1213
00:47:01,684 --> 00:47:03,125
the data you can get from the stuff

1214
00:47:03,125 --> 00:47:03,625
that

1215
00:47:04,805 --> 00:47:06,664
not supposed to be able to be seen.

1216
00:47:07,204 --> 00:47:07,704
Okay.

1217
00:47:08,085 --> 00:47:10,565
Chances of an asteroid approaching Earth doubling in

1218
00:47:10,565 --> 00:47:11,704
2032.

1219
00:47:12,780 --> 00:47:15,340
NASA's new observation of the asteroid named twenty

1220
00:47:15,340 --> 00:47:17,579
twenty four y r four led to a

1221
00:47:17,579 --> 00:47:18,380
23%

1222
00:47:18,380 --> 00:47:20,559
probability hitting Earth on this

1223
00:47:21,420 --> 00:47:23,599
twenty two December twenty thirty two.

1224
00:47:24,394 --> 00:47:26,394
Well, those odds went way up, so we'll

1225
00:47:26,394 --> 00:47:26,894
see.

1226
00:47:27,994 --> 00:47:30,494
Also, because some knucklehead wrote

1227
00:47:30,954 --> 00:47:32,494
Tesla in a proposal,

1228
00:47:33,755 --> 00:47:36,474
everyone's freaking out. Plans to buy armored Teslas

1229
00:47:36,474 --> 00:47:38,815
vanish from state department procurement list.

1230
00:47:40,690 --> 00:47:41,829
Someone just wrote,

1231
00:47:42,530 --> 00:47:45,410
the state department's procurement forecast removed the mention

1232
00:47:45,410 --> 00:47:48,289
of Tesla in relation to a planned 400,000,000

1233
00:47:48,289 --> 00:47:49,590
armored EV purchase

1234
00:47:49,969 --> 00:47:52,150
after reports emerged about it on Wednesday.

1235
00:47:53,385 --> 00:47:56,285
The wording has been changed to armored EVs.

1236
00:47:58,425 --> 00:48:00,664
Tesla's name appeared in the document near the

1237
00:48:00,664 --> 00:48:01,164
BMW

1238
00:48:01,465 --> 00:48:04,344
AG whose armored x five and x seven

1239
00:48:04,344 --> 00:48:06,744
SUVs the state department is also planning to

1240
00:48:06,744 --> 00:48:09,099
buy. The German's company name remains on the

1241
00:48:09,099 --> 00:48:11,360
list while Tesla's has been excised,

1242
00:48:12,059 --> 00:48:14,460
leaving four hun leaving the 400,000,000

1243
00:48:14,460 --> 00:48:17,820
contracts still at the planning stage, now listed

1244
00:48:17,820 --> 00:48:21,039
for generic designation of armored electric vehicles.

1245
00:48:21,565 --> 00:48:23,644
You know, that's probably something that's been in

1246
00:48:23,644 --> 00:48:26,204
the in the planning stage for a long

1247
00:48:26,204 --> 00:48:28,605
time. Elon says, we didn't know anything about

1248
00:48:28,605 --> 00:48:30,864
it. We don't think we're getting 400,000,000.

1249
00:48:31,164 --> 00:48:33,085
He says, there's been no contract for this

1250
00:48:33,085 --> 00:48:35,760
to reply on and but Tesla stock was

1251
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,300
up 2.3%

1252
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:38,660
on the rumors.

1253
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:45,619
It's interesting

1254
00:48:48,114 --> 00:48:50,695
the transformation it's having in government.

1255
00:48:51,155 --> 00:48:53,894
You know, when I had a government desk,

1256
00:48:55,635 --> 00:48:56,535
there was

1257
00:48:58,275 --> 00:48:58,775
definitely

1258
00:48:59,969 --> 00:49:01,889
things you could have on your desk and

1259
00:49:01,889 --> 00:49:03,969
things you couldn't have on your desk. You

1260
00:49:03,969 --> 00:49:04,630
could have

1261
00:49:05,090 --> 00:49:07,510
pictures of your family, your kids,

1262
00:49:08,289 --> 00:49:10,869
but you couldn't have anything that would cause

1263
00:49:12,050 --> 00:49:13,590
anyone to raise an eyebrow.

1264
00:49:13,985 --> 00:49:16,965
You couldn't have any scantily pad, place pictures.

1265
00:49:17,505 --> 00:49:18,885
You couldn't have cartoons

1266
00:49:19,265 --> 00:49:21,045
that had some sort of meanings.

1267
00:49:21,425 --> 00:49:22,864
You know, there was you know, we you

1268
00:49:22,864 --> 00:49:25,525
know, it's a workspace. Right? You know, that

1269
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,300
that childish stuff,

1270
00:49:27,679 --> 00:49:29,940
locker room stuff was not allowed.

1271
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,179
Not allowed at all.

1272
00:49:33,679 --> 00:49:35,199
And if you put something on your desk

1273
00:49:35,199 --> 00:49:37,199
like that, you probably would've got wrote up

1274
00:49:37,199 --> 00:49:39,780
and, you know, you would've had a counseling

1275
00:49:39,839 --> 00:49:40,339
session.

1276
00:49:41,994 --> 00:49:43,914
Manager have been reminding employees to be mindful

1277
00:49:43,914 --> 00:49:45,355
of what personal effects they have in the

1278
00:49:45,355 --> 00:49:45,855
workplace,

1279
00:49:46,155 --> 00:49:48,175
but there are no plenots or warnings

1280
00:49:48,875 --> 00:49:51,514
about being placed on the ministry for for

1281
00:49:51,514 --> 00:49:54,735
displaying personal items. But if you're at work,

1282
00:49:56,030 --> 00:49:58,050
you know what we're talking about here. Right?

1283
00:49:58,989 --> 00:50:00,369
It's just common sense

1284
00:50:01,309 --> 00:50:03,150
that you would not put stuff on your

1285
00:50:03,150 --> 00:50:05,170
desk that would make other people uncomfortable.

1286
00:50:06,030 --> 00:50:07,969
That's just kinda like, duh.

1287
00:50:09,155 --> 00:50:09,655
Right?

1288
00:50:13,715 --> 00:50:15,414
You know, that's how you get fired.

1289
00:50:16,114 --> 00:50:16,614
So

1290
00:50:18,675 --> 00:50:21,494
interesting that they're reminding people to be sensitive

1291
00:50:21,554 --> 00:50:22,614
what's in their workspace.

1292
00:50:23,989 --> 00:50:26,710
Unofficial TikTok download surge in The United States.

1293
00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:28,089
No surprise there.

1294
00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:29,849
And finally,

1295
00:50:30,309 --> 00:50:31,769
I saw this made me go,

1296
00:50:32,150 --> 00:50:34,150
a tiny antenna made on denim will put

1297
00:50:34,150 --> 00:50:36,230
your five will put five g in your

1298
00:50:36,230 --> 00:50:36,730
clothes.

1299
00:50:37,055 --> 00:50:39,135
And I said, what is the use for

1300
00:50:39,135 --> 00:50:39,635
this?

1301
00:50:40,815 --> 00:50:43,135
Well, I you know, I as like, no

1302
00:50:43,135 --> 00:50:45,315
one's gonna put a five g antenna

1303
00:50:45,934 --> 00:50:47,934
in regular clothes. First of all, I'm not

1304
00:50:47,934 --> 00:50:48,989
gonna wear it.

1305
00:50:49,949 --> 00:50:50,690
But apparently,

1306
00:50:51,230 --> 00:50:54,030
connected clothing is potential used by military and

1307
00:50:54,030 --> 00:50:55,409
in space exploration,

1308
00:50:56,030 --> 00:50:58,590
but more reverently to us is the use

1309
00:50:58,590 --> 00:51:00,530
in health and sports. The dual band

1310
00:51:00,829 --> 00:51:02,989
antenna means sensor side clothing can collect and

1311
00:51:02,989 --> 00:51:05,315
send health data without the need for smart

1312
00:51:05,315 --> 00:51:06,295
owner's smartwatch.

1313
00:51:07,234 --> 00:51:07,734
So,

1314
00:51:08,434 --> 00:51:10,594
apparently, this can be watched, yet they show

1315
00:51:10,594 --> 00:51:12,835
the antenna having an SMA connector on it.

1316
00:51:12,835 --> 00:51:14,594
I don't think that will do very good

1317
00:51:14,594 --> 00:51:16,934
in the laundry to be to be frank,

1318
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:17,519
but,

1319
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:18,900

1320
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,280
