00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:02,960
[Speaker 0]
Hello, everybody. Welcome to Geek News Central episode

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,680
[Speaker 0]
eighteen forty seven. This is your one of

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,639
[Speaker 0]
your two hosts, Chris Cochran, speaking today. I

4
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:10,480
[Speaker 0]
just wanna start the episode making a quick

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,135
[Speaker 0]
apology for missing my episode last week. Thankfully,

6
00:00:14,135 --> 00:00:15,815
[Speaker 0]
Ray was able to come through and deliver

7
00:00:15,815 --> 00:00:18,135
[Speaker 0]
an amazing episode for you guys. So if

8
00:00:18,135 --> 00:00:19,575
[Speaker 0]
you haven't checked that out yet, be sure

9
00:00:19,575 --> 00:00:21,175
[Speaker 0]
to go give that a listen. You know,

10
00:00:21,175 --> 00:00:23,335
[Speaker 0]
our goal when we first announced that we

11
00:00:23,335 --> 00:00:24,855
[Speaker 0]
are gonna be taking over our dad's podcast

12
00:00:24,855 --> 00:00:26,855
[Speaker 0]
and continuing his legacy was to continue, you

13
00:00:26,855 --> 00:00:28,455
[Speaker 0]
know, the same amount of volume of shows

14
00:00:28,455 --> 00:00:31,260
[Speaker 0]
that, you know, he he had, going, which

15
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:34,060
[Speaker 0]
is Monday and Thursday. You know, as we

16
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:35,740
[Speaker 0]
start to do more and more episodes, we're

17
00:00:35,740 --> 00:00:37,340
[Speaker 0]
starting to get more into a flow and

18
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:39,100
[Speaker 0]
understanding of how to run the podcast. So

19
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,355
[Speaker 0]
we really just wanna emphasize, you know, our

20
00:00:41,355 --> 00:00:43,755
[Speaker 0]
gratefulness. And we just wanna thankful thank you

21
00:00:43,755 --> 00:00:46,255
[Speaker 0]
guys for continuing and supporting us throughout this

22
00:00:46,475 --> 00:00:48,635
[Speaker 0]
transitional time in this weird, weird, weird period

23
00:00:48,635 --> 00:00:52,555
[Speaker 0]
of the podcast. Yeah. But pretty much, you

24
00:00:52,555 --> 00:00:54,635
[Speaker 0]
know, like last week, I just got caught

25
00:00:54,635 --> 00:00:58,670
[Speaker 0]
up with work and, personal endeavors. Outside of

26
00:00:58,670 --> 00:01:01,329
[Speaker 0]
work, I am a freelance videographer and photographer

27
00:01:01,390 --> 00:01:04,430
[Speaker 0]
and work has been slow recently. So, you

28
00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:06,430
[Speaker 0]
know, well, freelance work has been slow at

29
00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:08,350
[Speaker 0]
least. So, you know, me and my buddies,

30
00:01:08,350 --> 00:01:10,585
[Speaker 0]
we wanted to keep the creative juices going.

31
00:01:10,585 --> 00:01:12,104
[Speaker 0]
So we decided to shoot a spec ad

32
00:01:12,104 --> 00:01:14,984
[Speaker 0]
of the Apple Air Max Pro headset. You

33
00:01:14,984 --> 00:01:16,185
[Speaker 0]
know, if you don't know what spec ad

34
00:01:16,185 --> 00:01:18,664
[Speaker 0]
is, it's basically an unpaid advertisement. You know,

35
00:01:18,664 --> 00:01:20,104
[Speaker 0]
Apple didn't reach out to us to make

36
00:01:20,104 --> 00:01:21,625
[Speaker 0]
a commercial. It's just something we did for

37
00:01:21,625 --> 00:01:23,564
[Speaker 0]
fun. You know, basically making a fake commercial.

38
00:01:24,210 --> 00:01:25,330
[Speaker 0]
We just like to do it just to

39
00:01:25,330 --> 00:01:27,570
[Speaker 0]
test our, you know, our director ability and

40
00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:30,850
[Speaker 0]
our cinematography ability. It's just a good time,

41
00:01:30,850 --> 00:01:32,230
[Speaker 0]
you know, to get out of the house

42
00:01:32,930 --> 00:01:35,270
[Speaker 0]
and do something other than work, you know.

43
00:01:35,945 --> 00:01:37,704
[Speaker 0]
I shoot on two different cameras. So I

44
00:01:37,704 --> 00:01:39,145
[Speaker 0]
shoot on the Canon R six, which is

45
00:01:39,145 --> 00:01:42,204
[Speaker 0]
my photography camera, and like my vlogging camera.

46
00:01:42,345 --> 00:01:44,185
[Speaker 0]
But I also shoot on a cinema camera

47
00:01:44,185 --> 00:01:46,505
[Speaker 0]
called the Blackmagic six ks. That has been

48
00:01:46,505 --> 00:01:48,664
[Speaker 0]
such a joy to shoot with. I bought

49
00:01:48,664 --> 00:01:51,820
[Speaker 0]
it earlier this year. And man, you don't

50
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:54,780
[Speaker 0]
really know the difference of, you know, video

51
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:57,420
[Speaker 0]
quality until you put a until until you

52
00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:58,860
[Speaker 0]
get your hands on a cinema camera. Let

53
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:00,299
[Speaker 0]
me tell you that. Ever since I've got

54
00:02:00,299 --> 00:02:01,500
[Speaker 0]
my hands on my on my on my

55
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:04,540
[Speaker 0]
cinema camera, I've been doing nothing but taking

56
00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:06,540
[Speaker 0]
every opportunity I could to shoot with that

57
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:09,555
[Speaker 0]
thing because it's such a joy. It's been

58
00:02:09,635 --> 00:02:11,474
[Speaker 0]
I've had the most fun with it and,

59
00:02:11,795 --> 00:02:13,474
[Speaker 0]
I can't wait to see the content I

60
00:02:13,474 --> 00:02:16,535
[Speaker 0]
am going to produce with it. Now, honestly,

61
00:02:16,595 --> 00:02:18,114
[Speaker 0]
that's just like just last week, I think

62
00:02:18,114 --> 00:02:20,035
[Speaker 0]
that just goes to show for everyone, you

63
00:02:20,035 --> 00:02:22,080
[Speaker 0]
know, take some time for yourself, you know.

64
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,280
[Speaker 0]
Get out there and do something fun. Do

65
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,720
[Speaker 0]
something other than work. It's healthy. It your

66
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,940
[Speaker 0]
body deserves it. You deserve it. So, yeah.

67
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,560
[Speaker 0]
Once in a while, just make sure make

68
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,665
[Speaker 0]
sure you do You you just step away

69
00:02:36,665 --> 00:02:38,505
[Speaker 0]
from work. That's all I'm trying to say.

70
00:02:38,505 --> 00:02:40,185
[Speaker 0]
Now we got a fun show planned for

71
00:02:40,185 --> 00:02:41,705
[Speaker 0]
you guys today, so we're gonna get right

72
00:02:41,705 --> 00:02:44,825
[Speaker 0]
into it. My first topic, it's really intriguing

73
00:02:44,825 --> 00:02:47,405
[Speaker 0]
to me. So we're gonna be talking about

74
00:02:47,865 --> 00:02:53,550
[Speaker 0]
the world's smallest AI computer. K? So the

75
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:55,870
[Speaker 0]
g g a Spark, it's basically a mini

76
00:02:55,870 --> 00:02:58,590
[Speaker 0]
AI supercomputer built by NVIDIA, the same company

77
00:02:58,590 --> 00:03:00,830
[Speaker 0]
behind the GPU that powered gaming rigs and

78
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:02,830
[Speaker 0]
data centers. Now what's wild is that it's

79
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:04,430
[Speaker 0]
only two point six pounds and it costs

80
00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:06,445
[Speaker 0]
three thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars. But

81
00:03:06,445 --> 00:03:08,125
[Speaker 0]
it's capable of doing work that used to

82
00:03:08,125 --> 00:03:11,165
[Speaker 0]
require massive servers. It uses NVIDIA's new Grace

83
00:03:11,165 --> 00:03:13,965
[Speaker 0]
Blackwell Superchip, which combines a powerful CPU and

84
00:03:13,965 --> 00:03:17,645
[Speaker 0]
GPU into one compact system. In simple terms,

85
00:03:17,645 --> 00:03:19,905
[Speaker 0]
this little box can train and run advanced

86
00:03:19,965 --> 00:03:22,680
[Speaker 0]
AI models right on your desk. Now this

87
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400
[Speaker 0]
isn't meant for the average consumer. K? It's

88
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,480
[Speaker 0]
built for AI developers, the people who create

89
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,780
[Speaker 0]
and train artificial intelligence systems. Normally, these developers

90
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,080
[Speaker 0]
have to run expensive cloud servers or use

91
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,965
[Speaker 0]
giant data centers, but the DGX Spark changes

92
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:38,205
[Speaker 0]
that by letting them build and test AI

93
00:03:38,205 --> 00:03:41,725
[Speaker 0]
locally without relying on outside infrastructure. So this

94
00:03:41,725 --> 00:03:45,025
[Speaker 0]
means faster experimentation, lower cost, and more innovation

95
00:03:45,085 --> 00:03:49,080
[Speaker 0]
coming from smaller teams or even individuals. Now

96
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,320
[Speaker 0]
the g d the DGX Spark shows just

97
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,880
[Speaker 0]
how far AI hardware has come. It's a

98
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,040
[Speaker 0]
glimpse of the future where powerful AI tools

99
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,360
[Speaker 0]
don't just live in massive cloud facilities, but

100
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,200
[Speaker 0]
can exist on your desk or in your

101
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,635
[Speaker 0]
backpack. The shift could democratize AI development, letting

102
00:04:03,635 --> 00:04:07,174
[Speaker 0]
startups, students, and independent creators build new technology

103
00:04:07,234 --> 00:04:09,635
[Speaker 0]
from anywhere. In other words, the power of

104
00:04:09,635 --> 00:04:12,034
[Speaker 0]
AI is becoming more accessible, and that could

105
00:04:12,034 --> 00:04:14,674
[Speaker 0]
speed up innovation in everything from healthcare to

106
00:04:14,674 --> 00:04:17,639
[Speaker 0]
gaming and to content creation. So for most

107
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:19,560
[Speaker 0]
of us, the DJ Spark isn't something we're

108
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,960
[Speaker 0]
gonna buy, but it does represent a major

109
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,199
[Speaker 0]
shift in how AI gets built. Instead of

110
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,680
[Speaker 0]
huge corporations being the only ones with access

111
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,120
[Speaker 0]
to powerful hardware, now smaller teams, universities, and

112
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,360
[Speaker 0]
even solo developers can create next gen AI

113
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,055
[Speaker 0]
tools right from their desks. That means faster

114
00:04:35,055 --> 00:04:38,895
[Speaker 0]
innovation, smarter apps, and more personalized technology trickling

115
00:04:38,895 --> 00:04:41,615
[Speaker 0]
down to everyday devices. In short, this little

116
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:44,095
[Speaker 0]
mini supercomputer could help the next big AI

117
00:04:44,095 --> 00:04:46,655
[Speaker 0]
breakthrough come from someone's home office instead of

118
00:04:46,655 --> 00:04:49,419
[Speaker 0]
a billion dollar lab. Like I said in

119
00:04:49,419 --> 00:04:50,940
[Speaker 0]
the last episode that I was talking about,

120
00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:52,940
[Speaker 0]
like, it's such a fun time to be

121
00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:57,659
[Speaker 0]
alive. Every single day, AI is like, it's,

122
00:04:57,659 --> 00:04:59,500
[Speaker 0]
it never ceases to amaze me. Something new

123
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:01,740
[Speaker 0]
comes out, a new innovation, new, you know,

124
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:05,775
[Speaker 0]
invention, I can't wait to see what this

125
00:05:05,775 --> 00:05:07,935
[Speaker 0]
next year, one to ten years is gonna

126
00:05:07,935 --> 00:05:09,294
[Speaker 0]
look like and I can't wait to see

127
00:05:09,294 --> 00:05:12,175
[Speaker 0]
what's gonna come out of the DGX Spark,

128
00:05:12,175 --> 00:05:16,510
[Speaker 0]
you know, a lot of fun things. Wanna

129
00:05:16,510 --> 00:05:20,690
[Speaker 0]
transition into Apple. Okay? So Apple may launch

130
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:23,550
[Speaker 0]
their m five powered iPad Pro, Vision Pro,

131
00:05:23,550 --> 00:05:27,310
[Speaker 0]
and MacBook Pro this week. Alright? So Apple

132
00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:29,230
[Speaker 0]
is preparing to launch their new m five

133
00:05:29,230 --> 00:05:31,485
[Speaker 0]
powered versions of the iPad Pro, Vision Pro

134
00:05:31,485 --> 00:05:34,285
[Speaker 0]
headset, and MacBook Pro. These new chips are

135
00:05:34,285 --> 00:05:37,565
[Speaker 0]
expected to bring faster performance, better battery life,

136
00:05:37,565 --> 00:05:40,685
[Speaker 0]
and more efficient AI processing. Apple may announce

137
00:05:40,685 --> 00:05:42,365
[Speaker 0]
them through a press release rather than a

138
00:05:42,365 --> 00:05:44,605
[Speaker 0]
big event suggesting that, you know, it's a

139
00:05:44,605 --> 00:05:47,700
[Speaker 0]
refinement year, not a full redesign. To touch

140
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,940
[Speaker 0]
up on the iPad Vision Pro and the

141
00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:53,560
[Speaker 0]
MacBook, the m five Apple Pro is Apple's

142
00:05:53,780 --> 00:05:59,985
[Speaker 0]
flagship tablet. K? Geekbench six benchmarks show the

143
00:05:59,985 --> 00:06:02,625
[Speaker 0]
m five chip delivering up to twelve percent

144
00:06:02,625 --> 00:06:06,225
[Speaker 0]
faster multi core CPU performance and thirty six

145
00:06:06,225 --> 00:06:09,105
[Speaker 0]
percent faster GPU performance compared to the current

146
00:06:09,105 --> 00:06:11,505
[Speaker 0]
m four model. The new tablet will feature

147
00:06:11,505 --> 00:06:14,085
[Speaker 0]
a minimum of twelve gigabytes RAM and removes

148
00:06:14,225 --> 00:06:16,460
[Speaker 0]
the iPad Pro text from its back panel.

149
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,320
[Speaker 0]
Other than that, no other major design changes

150
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,920
[Speaker 0]
are expected. Leading into the Vision Pro, the

151
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,920
[Speaker 0]
Vision Pro refresh will include the m five

152
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,440
[Speaker 0]
chip alongside improved comfort features. Apple plans to

153
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,555
[Speaker 0]
bundle a new dual kit band headshot with

154
00:06:30,634 --> 00:06:33,435
[Speaker 0]
updated headset and may introduce a space black

155
00:06:33,435 --> 00:06:40,155
[Speaker 0]
color option. However, reportedly, this isn't enough to

156
00:06:40,155 --> 00:06:42,794
[Speaker 0]
qualify as a second generation model because Apple

157
00:06:42,794 --> 00:06:45,960
[Speaker 0]
has reportedly suspended development of both a next

158
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,760
[Speaker 0]
generation Vision Pro and a lower cost Vision

159
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,300
[Speaker 0]
Air variant to focus on smart glasses technology.

160
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,000
[Speaker 0]
Right? That's the right move. If you ask

161
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,520
[Speaker 0]
me, they're going in the right direction. Look,

162
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,835
[Speaker 0]
the Apple Vision Pro, it's cool. Right? But

163
00:07:01,895 --> 00:07:06,215
[Speaker 0]
it's such a niche product and for such

164
00:07:06,215 --> 00:07:10,215
[Speaker 0]
a niche audience that like, I don't know.

165
00:07:10,215 --> 00:07:12,375
[Speaker 0]
I don't know. The way the world's moving,

166
00:07:12,375 --> 00:07:15,175
[Speaker 0]
smart glasses technology seems like the next best

167
00:07:15,175 --> 00:07:17,790
[Speaker 0]
thing, you know? Because I don't know. With

168
00:07:17,790 --> 00:07:19,550
[Speaker 0]
the with the vision pros, it it had

169
00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:22,350
[Speaker 0]
such a big boost in popularity when it

170
00:07:22,350 --> 00:07:24,350
[Speaker 0]
first came out. But after that first two

171
00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:26,910
[Speaker 0]
weeks, it was done. No one talked about

172
00:07:26,910 --> 00:07:29,875
[Speaker 0]
it. No one really cared. I have never

173
00:07:29,875 --> 00:07:31,555
[Speaker 0]
seen anyone wear the Apple Vision Pro and

174
00:07:31,555 --> 00:07:33,475
[Speaker 0]
headset, headset in public. You know, I know

175
00:07:33,475 --> 00:07:35,475
[Speaker 0]
there's that's an option to do. But if

176
00:07:35,475 --> 00:07:37,655
[Speaker 0]
you ask me, it's a little goofy. Alright?

177
00:07:37,794 --> 00:07:39,315
[Speaker 0]
I know some people may use it at

178
00:07:39,315 --> 00:07:41,235
[Speaker 0]
home or in their work life, but at

179
00:07:41,235 --> 00:07:44,630
[Speaker 0]
the end of the day, like, it's just,

180
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:48,949
[Speaker 0]
it's not, I feel like they're going the

181
00:07:48,949 --> 00:07:50,470
[Speaker 0]
right direction because with the glasses, you know,

182
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:53,050
[Speaker 0]
like take the Ray Ban Metas, for example,

183
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:54,790
[Speaker 0]
you know, I see at least ten plus

184
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:57,475
[Speaker 0]
people days, ten people would, ten plus people

185
00:07:57,475 --> 00:07:59,395
[Speaker 0]
every single day wearing the Ray Ban Meta

186
00:07:59,395 --> 00:08:03,155
[Speaker 0]
glasses, you know? So just imagine what their

187
00:08:03,155 --> 00:08:06,275
[Speaker 0]
Apple smart glasses will do. I don't know.

188
00:08:06,275 --> 00:08:09,319
[Speaker 0]
The VR headset, it's just big, It's heavy.

189
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:14,659
[Speaker 0]
It's goofy looking. It's just it's an alley

190
00:08:14,659 --> 00:08:16,180
[Speaker 0]
that I feel like they're gonna go down

191
00:08:16,180 --> 00:08:18,180
[Speaker 0]
and it's just gonna go nowhere. Right? But

192
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:19,460
[Speaker 0]
that's my opinion. I don't know if that

193
00:08:19,460 --> 00:08:21,699
[Speaker 0]
makes sense, but move on before I continue

194
00:08:21,699 --> 00:08:26,105
[Speaker 0]
rambling. Let's talk about the MacBook. The MacBook

195
00:08:26,165 --> 00:08:27,925
[Speaker 0]
Pro is set to launch with the vanilla

196
00:08:27,925 --> 00:08:30,325
[Speaker 0]
m five chip. So the base fourteen inch

197
00:08:30,325 --> 00:08:32,245
[Speaker 0]
MacBook Pro, it's ready for launch with the

198
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:34,885
[Speaker 0]
m five chip. Though higher end models featuring

199
00:08:34,885 --> 00:08:36,565
[Speaker 0]
m five pro and m five mac chips,

200
00:08:36,565 --> 00:08:38,904
[Speaker 0]
they won't arrive until early twenty twenty six.

201
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,040
[Speaker 0]
Apple stores are already experiencing inventory shortages of

202
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,440
[Speaker 0]
m four based models while maintaining normal stock

203
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,100
[Speaker 0]
levels of higher tier configurations, typically signaling signaling

204
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,000
[Speaker 0]
an imminent product refresh. Yesterday was Columbus Day

205
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,245
[Speaker 0]
in the US, so announcements may begin today,

206
00:08:56,385 --> 00:08:58,545
[Speaker 0]
October fourteenth, or later in the week. So

207
00:08:58,545 --> 00:09:01,025
[Speaker 0]
something to keep an eye out for. Going

208
00:09:01,025 --> 00:09:03,185
[Speaker 0]
back to that little VR headset talk, just

209
00:09:03,185 --> 00:09:05,985
[Speaker 0]
gonna keep this little next next article short

210
00:09:05,985 --> 00:09:07,345
[Speaker 0]
and short and simple for you guys. We're

211
00:09:07,345 --> 00:09:10,040
[Speaker 0]
gonna talk about the Samsung's XR headset. K.

212
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,120
[Speaker 0]
Project Muhan. So Samsung's long rumored XR headset,

213
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,560
[Speaker 0]
codename Project Muhan, has leaked again. And it's

214
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,879
[Speaker 0]
shaping up to be Samsung's answer to Apple

215
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,920
[Speaker 0]
Vision Pro. It's expected to feature ion track

216
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,385
[Speaker 0]
ion hand tracking, multiple external cameras, and a

217
00:09:26,385 --> 00:09:29,185
[Speaker 0]
new one u I x r interface designed

218
00:09:29,185 --> 00:09:32,785
[Speaker 0]
specifically for mixed reality. Now this marks Samsung's

219
00:09:32,785 --> 00:09:35,365
[Speaker 0]
return to the ARVR space after years away.

220
00:09:35,585 --> 00:09:38,730
[Speaker 0]
Unlike earlier headsets that relied on smartphones, Project

221
00:09:38,730 --> 00:09:41,370
[Speaker 0]
Muhan will be a stand alone device running

222
00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:43,370
[Speaker 0]
its own apps and likely powered by a

223
00:09:43,370 --> 00:09:46,650
[Speaker 0]
Qualcomm Snapdragon XR chip. Now if you've been

224
00:09:46,650 --> 00:09:50,410
[Speaker 0]
curious about virtual reality but not hesitant, but

225
00:09:50,410 --> 00:09:53,385
[Speaker 0]
but hesitant about Apple's price tag, sorry, Samsung

226
00:09:53,385 --> 00:09:56,425
[Speaker 0]
might deliver a more affordable price, for you

227
00:09:56,425 --> 00:09:58,825
[Speaker 0]
guys. It's a sign that immersive tech, once

228
00:09:58,825 --> 00:10:01,225
[Speaker 0]
niche, is headed for a mainstream competition with

229
00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:02,985
[Speaker 0]
Apple and Samsung ready to battle it out

230
00:10:02,985 --> 00:10:05,865
[Speaker 0]
for your living room. That last sentence, kinda

231
00:10:05,865 --> 00:10:07,939
[Speaker 0]
contradicts what I said. But, yeah. You already

232
00:10:07,939 --> 00:10:10,339
[Speaker 0]
know my opinion on the VR headsets, you

233
00:10:10,339 --> 00:10:12,500
[Speaker 0]
know? I don't need to say much. I

234
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,140
[Speaker 0]
think Samsung will be better off putting their

235
00:10:15,140 --> 00:10:18,040
[Speaker 0]
focus on the eyeglasses, if you ask me.

236
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:22,154
[Speaker 0]
But moving on, Moving on from that, enough

237
00:10:22,154 --> 00:10:24,475
[Speaker 0]
talk about VR headsets. I do just wanna

238
00:10:24,475 --> 00:10:27,115
[Speaker 0]

00:13:20,834 --> 00:13:24,755
[Speaker 0]
Windows ten support, it ended today. K? So

307
00:13:24,755 --> 00:13:27,315
[Speaker 0]
at this point, technical assistance featuring updates and

308
00:13:27,315 --> 00:13:29,740
[Speaker 0]
security updates, they will no longer be provided.

309
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,880
[Speaker 0]
If you have devices running on Windows ten,

310
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,140
[Speaker 0]
we recommend you upgrading them to Windows eleven,

311
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,860
[Speaker 0]
a more modern, secure, and highly efficient computing

312
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,560
[Speaker 0]
experience. If devices do not meet the technical

313
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:42,215
[Speaker 0]
require requirements to run on Windows eleven, you

314
00:13:42,215 --> 00:13:43,975
[Speaker 0]
know, we recommend that you enroll in the

315
00:13:43,975 --> 00:13:47,335
[Speaker 0]
Windows ten consumer extended security updates program or

316
00:13:47,335 --> 00:13:49,335
[Speaker 0]
replace the device with one that supports Windows

317
00:13:49,335 --> 00:13:52,375
[Speaker 0]
eleven. Keeping that super short and simple, yeah.

318
00:13:52,375 --> 00:13:55,885
[Speaker 0]
Windows ten. Support all pal all pal. Today's

319
00:13:55,885 --> 00:13:59,860
[Speaker 0]
the last day. Leading into some space news

320
00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:02,180
[Speaker 0]
for you guys. You know, we wanna try

321
00:14:02,180 --> 00:14:03,780
[Speaker 0]
and trinkle in some space news in there

322
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:06,500
[Speaker 0]
because like we said, our father loved space

323
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,840
[Speaker 0]
news. He couldn't get enough of it. So

324
00:14:09,155 --> 00:14:11,255
[Speaker 0]
this one's pretty interesting. It's a little controversial

325
00:14:11,395 --> 00:14:13,635
[Speaker 0]
topic. So something something all of us can

326
00:14:13,635 --> 00:14:17,235
[Speaker 0]
talk about. Solar power from space mirrors could

327
00:14:17,235 --> 00:14:22,360
[Speaker 0]
revolutionize energy but alarm scientists. Okay? So Reflect

328
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,959
[Speaker 0]
Orbitals vision involve orbiting mirrors reflecting sunlight down

329
00:14:25,959 --> 00:14:29,740
[Speaker 0]
to specific locations on Earth. Now an ambitious

330
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,480
[Speaker 0]
proposal by US startup Reflect Orbital has astronomers

331
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,405
[Speaker 0]
and environmentalists environmentalists deeply concerned. The California based

332
00:14:38,405 --> 00:14:40,965
[Speaker 0]
company plans to deploy a massive constellation of

333
00:14:40,965 --> 00:14:43,605
[Speaker 0]
satellites designed to beam sunlight on demand to

334
00:14:43,605 --> 00:14:45,685
[Speaker 0]
Earth. It could extend the operating hours of

335
00:14:45,685 --> 00:14:49,045
[Speaker 0]
solar farms even into the dark. Although the

336
00:14:49,045 --> 00:14:54,300
[Speaker 0]
project offers novel renewable energy solutions, critics caution

337
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:56,459
[Speaker 0]
that it could alter the night sky by

338
00:14:56,459 --> 00:15:02,139
[Speaker 0]
creating light pollution. Now the TESS satellite, it

339
00:15:02,139 --> 00:15:05,100
[Speaker 0]
might launch in twenty twenty six. K? So

340
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,015
[Speaker 0]
these satellites will use mirrors that are made

341
00:15:07,015 --> 00:15:09,575
[Speaker 0]
from Mylar, a durable ultra thin material to

342
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:12,295
[Speaker 0]
capture sunlight and direct it to targeted spots

343
00:15:12,295 --> 00:15:16,214
[Speaker 0]
on the ground. If it's successful, this technique

344
00:15:16,214 --> 00:15:18,935
[Speaker 0]
could help, could enable solar farms to generate

345
00:15:18,935 --> 00:15:21,360
[Speaker 0]
power even after the sun has set. The

346
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,760
[Speaker 0]
company has already applied to launch its first

347
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,880
[Speaker 0]
eighteen meter test satellite named, I might butcher

348
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,620
[Speaker 0]
this name, Aranzo one in twenty twenty six.

349
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,760
[Speaker 0]
The launch license has been requested from the

350
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,200
[Speaker 0]
Federal Communications Commission, and current reports indicate that

351
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,735
[Speaker 0]
the test satellite would be followed by a

352
00:15:37,735 --> 00:15:41,655
[Speaker 0]
constellation of roughly four thousand orbiting satellites by

353
00:15:41,655 --> 00:15:44,935
[Speaker 0]
two thousand and thirty. Woah. The satellites are

354
00:15:44,935 --> 00:15:47,515
[Speaker 0]
expected to orbit about six hundred twenty five

355
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:50,775
[Speaker 0]
kilometers above the ground. And as per the

356
00:15:50,775 --> 00:15:56,260
[Speaker 0]
conversation piece, it's possible that the constellation could

357
00:15:56,260 --> 00:15:59,300
[Speaker 0]
eventually swell to include two hundred fifty thousand

358
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,500
[Speaker 0]
satellites, all potentially fitted with fifty four meter

359
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,805
[Speaker 0]
mirrors. And these satellites will reflect light roughly

360
00:16:05,805 --> 00:16:08,365
[Speaker 0]
fifteen thousand times dimmer than the midday sun

361
00:16:08,365 --> 00:16:12,524
[Speaker 0]
but remain brighter than a full moon. So

362
00:16:12,524 --> 00:16:17,644
[Speaker 0]
the existing satellites cause, they're they're the ones

363
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:22,210
[Speaker 0]
that, astronomers, they're alarmed by this. Okay? Because

364
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:24,450
[Speaker 0]
the existing satellites cause light pollution as an

365
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:28,050
[Speaker 0]
unintended byproduct of reflecting sunlight. But reflect orbital

366
00:16:28,050 --> 00:16:30,850
[Speaker 0]
satellites are defined are designed for precisely that

367
00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:34,605
[Speaker 0]
purpose. Even if it's just even if just

368
00:16:34,605 --> 00:16:36,765
[Speaker 0]
a test satellite works as planned, it will

369
00:16:36,765 --> 00:16:39,185
[Speaker 0]
sometimes appear far brighter than the full moon.

370
00:16:39,485 --> 00:16:41,745
[Speaker 0]
A constellation of such mirrors will be devastating

371
00:16:41,885 --> 00:16:45,805
[Speaker 0]
to astronomy and dangerous to astronomers. These concerns,

372
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:47,245
[Speaker 0]
there's there's so much concerns. I got I

373
00:16:47,245 --> 00:16:49,025
[Speaker 0]
got to go through all these. Okay? So

374
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,000
[Speaker 0]
looking through ground telescopes like Rubin, the brightness

375
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,400
[Speaker 0]
of these mirrors can nearly match the sun's

376
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,700
[Speaker 0]
surface, posing a risk of permanent eye damage.

377
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720
[Speaker 0]
Furthermore, the constellation brightness would drown out faint

378
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,645
[Speaker 0]
celestial objects and limit astronomical observations. Beyond astronomy,

379
00:17:05,865 --> 00:17:08,505
[Speaker 0]
the continuous illumination could disrupt the delicate daily

380
00:17:08,505 --> 00:17:13,545
[Speaker 0]
rhythms of nocturnal animals impacting ecosystems worldwide. Critics

381
00:17:13,545 --> 00:17:16,585
[Speaker 0]
also point out that even though reflectorbital intends

382
00:17:16,585 --> 00:17:19,520
[Speaker 0]
to illuminate target areas, the satellite movement will

383
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,280
[Speaker 0]
cause a light beam to sweep over large

384
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,300
[Speaker 0]
regions of Earth inevitably inevitably and could produce

385
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,520
[Speaker 0]
flashes in the night sky that are brighter

386
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,080
[Speaker 0]
than the moon. Apart from the light pollution

387
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,220
[Speaker 0]
concerns, the physics of reflecting sunlight from orbit

388
00:17:33,725 --> 00:17:36,765
[Speaker 0]
reveals major challenges to reflect Orbital's plan. Since

389
00:17:36,765 --> 00:17:39,565
[Speaker 0]
low Earth orbit satellites pass over location in

390
00:17:39,565 --> 00:17:43,105
[Speaker 0]
about three point five minutes, maintaining continuous illumination

391
00:17:43,165 --> 00:17:45,905
[Speaker 0]
for even one hour demands thousands of satellites.

392
00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:49,890
[Speaker 0]
Reflectorbito's own staggering projection of two hundred fifty

393
00:17:49,890 --> 00:17:52,690
[Speaker 0]
thousand satellites will still calculate to only delivering

394
00:17:52,690 --> 00:17:55,010
[Speaker 0]
the target twenty percent of midday sun to

395
00:17:55,010 --> 00:17:58,210
[Speaker 0]
a very limited number of regions simultaneously. The

396
00:17:58,210 --> 00:18:00,225
[Speaker 0]
comp the company asserts that it will redirect

397
00:18:00,304 --> 00:18:02,385
[Speaker 0]
sunlight in a manner that is brief, predictable,

398
00:18:02,385 --> 00:18:05,025
[Speaker 0]
and targeted, and promises to share satellite location

399
00:18:05,025 --> 00:18:09,025
[Speaker 0]
data to help observatories avoid disruption. The American

400
00:18:09,025 --> 00:18:13,280
[Speaker 0]
Astronomical Society August survey revealed that the majority

401
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,720
[Speaker 0]
of astronomers believe the proposed satellite constellation would

402
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,860
[Speaker 0]
negatively impact their work. The number of satellites

403
00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:23,039
[Speaker 0]
cluttering Earth's orbit is rapidly increasing primarily due

404
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:25,600
[Speaker 0]
to large constellations launched by private companies like

405
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,945
[Speaker 0]
SpaceX, Amazon, and Eutelsat OneWeb. Okay. That was

406
00:18:29,945 --> 00:18:33,145
[Speaker 0]
a mouthful. All right. I apologize. I got

407
00:18:33,145 --> 00:18:34,585
[Speaker 0]
a lot of butchering words in there, but

408
00:18:34,585 --> 00:18:38,424
[Speaker 0]
that was a lot to read. This seems

409
00:18:38,424 --> 00:18:41,705
[Speaker 0]
messy. Okay. Like if you ask me, there's

410
00:18:41,705 --> 00:18:43,559
[Speaker 0]
just too much concerns. Right. You gotta think

411
00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:44,679
[Speaker 0]
about the animals, you gotta think about light

412
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:47,640
[Speaker 0]
pollution, you gotta think about the observatories, you

413
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,960
[Speaker 0]
gotta think about all types of stuff, man.

414
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,760
[Speaker 0]
Like it's, it seems messy. It seems like

415
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,600
[Speaker 0]
a very cool plan. And I see where

416
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,255
[Speaker 0]
they're going with this to, you know, help

417
00:18:57,255 --> 00:19:00,775
[Speaker 0]
revolutionize energy. But at the same time, there's

418
00:19:00,775 --> 00:19:02,855
[Speaker 0]
just so much flaws in the plan. There's

419
00:19:02,855 --> 00:19:04,375
[Speaker 0]
so much holes. So if this does go

420
00:19:04,375 --> 00:19:06,935
[Speaker 0]
through, it's definitely something concerning, you know, you

421
00:19:06,935 --> 00:19:08,935
[Speaker 0]
know, very concerning, but, you know, the way

422
00:19:08,935 --> 00:19:12,235
[Speaker 0]
it's looking like right now, it's it's probably

423
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:15,790
[Speaker 0]
gonna be restricted or might not happen at

424
00:19:15,790 --> 00:19:17,630
[Speaker 0]
all. So we're just gonna have to wait

425
00:19:17,630 --> 00:19:19,950
[Speaker 0]
and see. Honestly, it's just one of those

426
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:20,990
[Speaker 0]
things we're just gonna have to wait and

427
00:19:20,990 --> 00:19:24,590
[Speaker 0]
see. Then again, kudos to them for coming

428
00:19:24,590 --> 00:19:27,065
[Speaker 0]
up, coming with a trying to come up

429
00:19:27,065 --> 00:19:29,304
[Speaker 0]
with a new idea and good luck to

430
00:19:29,304 --> 00:19:31,544
[Speaker 0]
them and we'll see what happens. Finally, I

431
00:19:31,544 --> 00:19:34,184
[Speaker 0]
want to close out this episode. If you

432
00:19:34,184 --> 00:19:35,784
[Speaker 0]
guys didn't know, I'm just gonna do a

433
00:19:35,784 --> 00:19:38,184
[Speaker 0]
little touch up on Amazon's twenty twenty five

434
00:19:38,184 --> 00:19:39,899
[Speaker 0]
hardware event. So if you guys missed it,

435
00:19:39,899 --> 00:19:41,259
[Speaker 0]
it was at the end of September. So

436
00:19:41,259 --> 00:19:42,379
[Speaker 0]
I just wanna give you guys a little

437
00:19:42,379 --> 00:19:45,919
[Speaker 0]
rundown on what's going on with it. Amazon

438
00:19:46,059 --> 00:19:48,700
[Speaker 0]
announced a new lineup of echo speakers, fire

439
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,995
[Speaker 0]
TVs, and smart displays, and many designed to

440
00:19:51,995 --> 00:19:54,735
[Speaker 0]
run Alexa Plus, their next gen AI assistant

441
00:19:54,794 --> 00:19:58,075
[Speaker 0]
right away. The new devices, Echo Show, Echo

442
00:19:58,075 --> 00:20:00,794
[Speaker 0]
Studio, Echo Dot Max are more powerful with

443
00:20:00,794 --> 00:20:03,835
[Speaker 0]
better cameras, audio, and optimized for AI voice

444
00:20:03,835 --> 00:20:07,450
[Speaker 0]
interaction. Fire TV devices get got updates too

445
00:20:07,450 --> 00:20:09,850
[Speaker 0]
with new models and OS enhancements designed to

446
00:20:09,850 --> 00:20:12,730
[Speaker 0]
leverage AI for smarter content discovery and smoother

447
00:20:12,730 --> 00:20:15,850
[Speaker 0]
performance. The announcement signals that Amazon is betting

448
00:20:15,850 --> 00:20:19,345
[Speaker 0]
heavily on AI powered smart homes. The hardware

449
00:20:19,345 --> 00:20:22,625
[Speaker 0]
is the canvas for start software like Alexa

450
00:20:22,625 --> 00:20:25,184
[Speaker 0]
plus to shine. For users, if you have

451
00:20:25,184 --> 00:20:27,825
[Speaker 0]
an Odor, Echo, or Fire device, you'll want

452
00:20:27,825 --> 00:20:30,145
[Speaker 0]
to see if it's supported for the new

453
00:20:30,145 --> 00:20:32,544
[Speaker 0]
features. If you're shopping, these new models might

454
00:20:32,544 --> 00:20:35,690
[Speaker 0]
become your go to. Yeah. Really exciting tech

455
00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:37,629
[Speaker 0]
things to look forward to in the Amazon

456
00:20:37,690 --> 00:20:40,830
[Speaker 0]
space. I'm a personal fan of other Alexas,

457
00:20:41,289 --> 00:20:43,769
[Speaker 0]
Fire Stick TV, all that. I I really

458
00:20:43,769 --> 00:20:45,610
[Speaker 0]
love what they got going on for the

459
00:20:45,610 --> 00:20:49,445
[Speaker 0]
home tech space. But, yeah, I will leave

460
00:20:49,585 --> 00:20:51,985
[Speaker 0]
a link in the bio to all these

461
00:20:51,985 --> 00:20:54,225
[Speaker 0]
articles. I do understand I had a lot

462
00:20:54,225 --> 00:20:56,304
[Speaker 0]
of butchering of the words this episode. I

463
00:20:56,304 --> 00:20:58,945
[Speaker 0]
do wanna apologize. I had worked this morning

464
00:20:58,945 --> 00:21:02,290
[Speaker 0]
at seven AM. So, you know, it's been

465
00:21:02,290 --> 00:21:03,970
[Speaker 0]
a long day already, but wanted to get

466
00:21:03,970 --> 00:21:06,770
[Speaker 0]
an episode in for you guys. Honestly, like,

467
00:21:06,770 --> 00:21:08,690
[Speaker 0]
if you ask me about the seven AM

468
00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:11,250
[Speaker 0]
shifts, I prefer the morning shifts. Even though

469
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:13,890
[Speaker 0]
I am tired right now, I have the

470
00:21:13,890 --> 00:21:15,415
[Speaker 0]
rest of the day to enjoy. What do

471
00:21:15,415 --> 00:21:17,175
[Speaker 0]
you guys what do you guys prefer? Alright?

472
00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:19,655
[Speaker 0]
Because, every time I get PM shifts scheduled

473
00:21:19,655 --> 00:21:21,095
[Speaker 0]
on my in my work, I always ask

474
00:21:21,095 --> 00:21:24,055
[Speaker 0]
my coworkers to trade right away because I

475
00:21:24,055 --> 00:21:27,255
[Speaker 0]
hate the PM shifts with a passion. Mainly

476
00:21:27,255 --> 00:21:29,350
[Speaker 0]
because, like, it's no hate to, like, the

477
00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:30,550
[Speaker 0]
people that were in the PM or anything

478
00:21:30,550 --> 00:21:31,270
[Speaker 0]
like that. It has nothing to do with

479
00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:33,750
[Speaker 0]
that. It's mainly just because when I wake

480
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:37,910
[Speaker 0]
up in the morning and go straight to

481
00:21:37,910 --> 00:21:39,190
[Speaker 0]
work, I had the rest of the my

482
00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:40,710
[Speaker 0]
day off once I'm done. You know? I

483
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:43,065
[Speaker 0]
set myself up for success. Compared to, like,

484
00:21:43,065 --> 00:21:44,905
[Speaker 0]
my PM shifts, like, I have such a

485
00:21:44,905 --> 00:21:46,585
[Speaker 0]
limited time in the morning to do what

486
00:21:46,585 --> 00:21:50,664
[Speaker 0]
I wanna do. And it's just, like, once

487
00:21:50,664 --> 00:21:52,105
[Speaker 0]
I go to my work once I go

488
00:21:52,105 --> 00:21:53,705
[Speaker 0]
to work, after work, it's like my whole

489
00:21:53,705 --> 00:21:55,225
[Speaker 0]
day is gone. And my day is gone,

490
00:21:55,225 --> 00:21:57,485
[Speaker 0]
and I have nothing to do. Like, literally

491
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,280
[Speaker 0]
nothing to do. And, yeah, it's just it's

492
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,840
[Speaker 0]
just why I prefer morning shifts. I'm I'm

493
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,600
[Speaker 0]
rambling. I also wanna make a quick jump

494
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,600
[Speaker 0]
back to what I was talking about earlier.

495
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,360
[Speaker 0]
You know, just a quick reminder before we

496
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:14,215
[Speaker 0]
close out. Take time for yourself. K? It's

497
00:22:14,215 --> 00:22:16,075
[Speaker 0]
important. You need to take care of yourself,

498
00:22:16,294 --> 00:22:17,575
[Speaker 0]
take care of your mind, take care of

499
00:22:17,575 --> 00:22:20,054
[Speaker 0]
your body, you know? Go do that thing

500
00:22:20,054 --> 00:22:21,495
[Speaker 0]
you wanted to do. Go shoot those photos

501
00:22:21,495 --> 00:22:22,934
[Speaker 0]
you wanted to do. You know? Go watch

502
00:22:22,934 --> 00:22:25,335
[Speaker 0]
that movie you wanted to watch. Anything, you

503
00:22:25,335 --> 00:22:27,095
[Speaker 0]
know? Take a step back from work, you

504
00:22:27,095 --> 00:22:30,080
[Speaker 0]
know? In my opinion, look, I'm only twenty

505
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,680
[Speaker 0]
one years old. Okay. So what do I

506
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,800
[Speaker 0]
know? But like you need to enjoy your

507
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,560
[Speaker 0]
life from time to time. You need to

508
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,480
[Speaker 0]
get out of the house and work isn't

509
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,000
[Speaker 0]
everything in my opinion. You know what I

510
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,975
[Speaker 0]
mean? So enjoy your life. You know what

511
00:22:41,975 --> 00:22:44,295
[Speaker 0]
I mean? And that's all I can really

512
00:22:44,295 --> 00:22:46,135
[Speaker 0]
say about that. Keep an eye out for

513
00:22:46,135 --> 00:22:48,455
[Speaker 0]

00:22:48,535 --> 00:22:50,215

515
00:22:50,215 --> 00:22:51,895
