0:07
Speaker 1: some alung that line.
0:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that was it.
0:12
Speaker 1: All right, let's go with it. I love it.
0:18
Speaker 3: I'll say it anyway.
0:19
Speaker 2: All right, this is Stephen Right, and you're listening to
0:21
Speaker 2: tech talk Radio.
0:22
Speaker 1: But you know I've already been saying that I love you,
0:27
Speaker 1: Stephen Kill. Welcome to another episode of tech talk Radio.
0:34
Speaker 1: I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird. Changes again because
0:39
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Sean's setup. Last week we talked about
0:43
Speaker 1: him and so what did you added a an old
0:46
Speaker 1: iPhone iPhone seven in the back, and but now you've
0:49
Speaker 1: changed it again.
0:50
Speaker 3: Well, I had I had a Gopra mounted there before,
0:54
Speaker 3: and I had just hadn't run the cables to it.
0:56
Speaker 3: If they run it the way I want, about twenty
0:57
Speaker 3: feet up the wall, through the drop ceiling, make it
1:00
Speaker 3: look nice. So I bought a thirty foot HDMI a
1:02
Speaker 3: twenty five foot USB to power it. But the HDMI
1:05
Speaker 3: is still good.
1:06
Speaker 1: Oh, run this thing that you're ceiling, get the drop,
1:09
Speaker 1: get it right where you want it. And you're getting.
1:12
Speaker 3: No good at it. No no good.
1:13
Speaker 1: You're doing this with an old GoPro. If somebody didn't
1:16
Speaker 1: want to take an old iPhone or an old Android
1:19
Speaker 1: device and use a GoPro. You're not using the most
1:22
Speaker 1: recent GoPro, which could be kind of pricey.
1:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even know what to do. What's go for?
1:26
Speaker 3: I think it's around the Hero twelve or Hero thirteen.
1:29
Speaker 1: Now they're like almost five hundred bucks.
1:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's an average pressure of them. So I'm
1:34
Speaker 3: running a Hero three plus, which is the last GoPro
1:37
Speaker 3: that I've personally bought myself. I like it. It just works.
1:41
Speaker 1: Isn't a GoPro though? When you use them, you used
1:43
Speaker 1: to get a kind of a wide angle, almost a
1:46
Speaker 1: fish eye type of lens look, and you can eliminate that.
1:50
Speaker 3: Everybody thinks, oh, I'm always going to get a fish
1:52
Speaker 3: eye with these, right, So this does not look fishy. No,
1:55
Speaker 3: I mean it's wide, but this is on its most
1:58
Speaker 3: it's on it. You can do you on this one,
2:00
Speaker 3: at least probably with the newer ones. I'm not even
2:02
Speaker 3: sure because I haven't really really shot the video. On
2:05
Speaker 3: the new ones, you can do narrow, medium or wide.
2:10
Speaker 1: Go pros are pretty pretty sturdy cameras. I've actually I've
2:13
Speaker 1: shot weddings and I've had it as a backup camera.
2:17
Speaker 1: You know, if I wanted to go to a full
2:18
Speaker 1: shot of the you know, of the crowd, you know,
2:22
Speaker 1: I'll have it record on a go Pro, I'll have
2:25
Speaker 1: it record on my main system. I'll have a record
2:27
Speaker 1: on another camera that captures from a different angle. And
2:32
Speaker 1: it's great because I have that footage there of the
2:34
Speaker 1: full crowd or from behind, like maybe even use two
2:37
Speaker 1: of them. And it's been great for the old go
2:40
Speaker 1: pros could still be used today capture all kinds of
2:43
Speaker 1: great stuff.
2:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of revolutionized action sports. I bought a
2:47
Speaker 3: GoPro back in my first go pro back in two
2:50
Speaker 3: thousand and eight. I worked for a small web marketing
2:53
Speaker 3: company and we did a lot of stock car racing
2:55
Speaker 3: for the ARCA Reback series and they were looking for
2:57
Speaker 3: some in car camera systems to record stuff. I just
3:00
Speaker 3: happened to find this camera and I was like, oh,
3:02
Speaker 3: what is this. This is a cool looking thing. I
3:03
Speaker 3: found it on some third party website. I don't even
3:06
Speaker 3: think GoPro had was selling them by themselves yet. I
3:08
Speaker 3: think they were only selling in for resellers, and so
3:10
Speaker 3: I bought it, and yeah, I think it launched in
3:13
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight and it was just called the
3:15
Speaker 3: GoPro Hero. Then they updated to the HD Hero and
3:18
Speaker 3: then the Hero two and then the Hero three. So
3:21
Speaker 3: I mean, but they're all the way up to.
3:22
Speaker 1: Well and they've got competition now. I mean we've talked
3:25
Speaker 1: about it before. The Issaco brand, I think it's a
3:28
Speaker 1: Socco or a Shacko. They have a camera that when
3:32
Speaker 1: you look at the price difference between the action cameras, like,
3:34
Speaker 1: we had a listener that had a son to ten
3:36
Speaker 1: year old son that wanted an action camera, you know,
3:39
Speaker 1: wanted to put it on different devices and be able
3:43
Speaker 1: to tape with it, and she didn't. She was a
3:45
Speaker 1: little hesitant about spending you know, four hundred and five
3:48
Speaker 1: hundred bucks at a camera like this. So we recommend, well, one,
3:51
Speaker 1: why not start smaller, Start with a Shako or some
3:55
Speaker 1: of the other brands that are out there that are
3:58
Speaker 1: not as expensive and could give you good results, and
4:01
Speaker 1: then they can grow into go pro and understand difference
4:05
Speaker 1: between them.
4:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you had Sony had had one.
4:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had Vivtar they had one.
4:10
Speaker 3: Kodak made one. I mean, Nikon made one, Insta three
4:14
Speaker 3: sixty made one, dj I made one. Go Pro kicked
4:17
Speaker 3: it off, and then everybody, you know, then the cheap
4:19
Speaker 3: Chinese ones came floating into the market. Right Yeah, so
4:21
Speaker 3: now pretty much any you can buy five different brands
4:24
Speaker 3: that are exactly the same.
4:25
Speaker 1: Who would you say is probably their biggest competition? Is
4:28
Speaker 1: it gonna be Dji or Ai and Instant three sixty
4:31
Speaker 1: into three sixties? I love, But to me, it just
4:35
Speaker 1: seems like it would be really difficult if I don't
4:37
Speaker 1: want that big convex shot of the world below. Because
4:42
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, maybe you've seen a motorcyclist
4:44
Speaker 1: riding around town and they got a little stick on
4:46
Speaker 1: their their their motorcycle. This there's a camera on that
4:50
Speaker 1: and it will get rid of that stick and then
4:53
Speaker 1: it looks like it's floating above the rider. But it
4:56
Speaker 1: could give a full three hundred and sixty degree view,
4:59
Speaker 1: which is pretty amaze. But sometimes the views are way
5:02
Speaker 1: out there. Other times I've seen them more along the
5:05
Speaker 1: lines of maybe a go Pro. I mean, they could
5:08
Speaker 1: do some really amazing things.
5:09
Speaker 3: There's a niche market. GoPro just made it easy and
5:12
Speaker 3: I'll say this. I'll say this to you. They screwed
5:14
Speaker 3: the pooch with their Karma drone.
5:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, what happened was it was it too good or
5:20
Speaker 1: was it just the well?
5:21
Speaker 3: So they were they partnered. So they had a weird
5:25
Speaker 3: I don't even know how to really explain it. I
5:27
Speaker 3: don't want to call it partnership. But three D Robotics, yep,
5:30
Speaker 3: three D r had it had had a drone that
5:33
Speaker 3: they had a gimbal mount on it that just mounted
5:36
Speaker 3: your GoPro. So GoPro said, hey, this is great, here's
5:39
Speaker 3: an accessory that works with three D Robotics. Then they
5:41
Speaker 3: went and made their own and called it the Karma.
5:44
Speaker 3: And on launch of the Karma, they had almost ninety
5:48
Speaker 3: percent battery failure within like the first ten minutes of flight.
5:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's dropping out this guy. That's not good.
5:53
Speaker 3: And it just they put so much money into it.
5:56
Speaker 3: They just they've wiped it. They've wiped the Karma from
5:59
Speaker 3: the face of the planet. It's so hard to find
6:01
Speaker 3: any information about it, but it was so terrible. Everybody
6:03
Speaker 3: just want to DJI.
6:04
Speaker 1: And DJI has been doing some great things with their
6:07
Speaker 1: you know, power supplies. Now it's kind of like they
6:10
Speaker 1: shifted their focus. And I don't know if they did
6:13
Speaker 1: that because of pending litigation or whatnot from you know,
6:17
Speaker 1: the United States.
6:18
Speaker 3: I just think I just think with the lithium ion
6:21
Speaker 3: technology and the lithium iron, the life Lifo plus the
6:25
Speaker 3: lifeop whatever Lifo batteries are coming out, that's that's the
6:30
Speaker 3: technology that's going into this stuff, right, So why not
6:34
Speaker 3: if you're investing in that for drones and stuff, you're
6:37
Speaker 3: gonna want to invest in the power plants themselves, like
6:39
Speaker 3: the solar generators and stuff. And it makes sense. Yeah,
6:43
Speaker 3: And really it's you're targeting the outdoor community, the outdoor enthusiast, right,
6:48
Speaker 3: You're not just targeting the camera person. You're targeting an
6:53
Speaker 3: entire life, lifestyle, life culture. Now I foresee them. They'll
6:56
Speaker 3: probably be making their own solar panels at some points
6:59
Speaker 3: once the technolog decreases in costs to make the solar
7:02
Speaker 3: panels and stuff, I think you'll be seeing more of
7:05
Speaker 3: those companies also, including solar panels, not just the chargers, right,
7:09
Speaker 3: because they have rock you have rock Pals, Jaquerie, DGI.
7:13
Speaker 1: Anchor, Anchors, Doing.
7:14
Speaker 3: Anchor, a couple other big ones. That's where it's going.
7:17
Speaker 1: I love their ACT campaign because it is about the outdoors.
7:20
Speaker 1: How they can quickly recharge a drone if they're out there,
7:23
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get some fun video and whatnot.
7:26
Speaker 1: They could recharge it in a minimum amount of time.
7:29
Speaker 1: They could run their devices they may need for a
7:32
Speaker 1: camping trip. That's what they're able to do now with
7:35
Speaker 1: this new DGI portable power bank, which is I mean,
7:37
Speaker 1: it's good.
7:38
Speaker 3: It's it's good. It's right on our camper. We've got
7:41
Speaker 3: two hundred watts for the sore that recharges our AMG
7:45
Speaker 3: twelve OL battery for off the grid camping. I mean
7:49
Speaker 3: one one big deep cell battery for that is not great,
7:53
Speaker 3: but it gets overnight and then it recharges during the
7:55
Speaker 3: day when it's sunny. It won't run the air conditioning
7:59
Speaker 3: or stuff like that. But what you have short power.
8:00
Speaker 1: For, right, did you see the story about the bear
8:03
Speaker 1: in Bontana. You know, we're talking about GoPro this and
8:06
Speaker 1: one thing that kind of surprises me. They lost this
8:10
Speaker 1: go pro camera for from what I understand, it was
8:12
Speaker 1: a couple of months and a brown bear comes along,
8:17
Speaker 1: finds this starts trying to chomp on it. Next thing,
8:20
Speaker 1: you know, he starts it up, and so.
8:22
Speaker 3: It's it's funny because you've seen when GoPros came out
8:26
Speaker 3: there everywhere right around the world. You give people access
8:29
Speaker 3: to cameras and they're gonna do cool stuff. You see
8:31
Speaker 3: them mounting them on dogs, cats, birds, sealing them out
8:34
Speaker 3: of the sky, that kind of stuff. But to a bear, yeah,
8:38
Speaker 3: I mean you've seen them where they an animal will
8:41
Speaker 3: eat it or try to chew on it or something, right,
8:43
Speaker 3: And but this one was interesting because but a bear
8:46
Speaker 3: finds this camera somehow. Man, it's just just just by
8:49
Speaker 3: I'm assuming, just biting on it or turns it on.
8:51
Speaker 3: And there's a video clip of this bear and it's
8:53
Speaker 3: about four four minutes long. It looks like it's just
8:56
Speaker 3: somebody setting it up. But then you see these big
8:58
Speaker 3: paws and then you see his face and it's.
9:00
Speaker 1: It's almost like it took a selfie, isn't it.
9:02
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean everybody that uses the GoPro
9:05
Speaker 3: has has has a go pro selfie. Yeah, right, and
9:09
Speaker 3: I've got I've got several of them. And yeah, it's
9:11
Speaker 3: kind of comical because it's like this weird, distorted, like
9:14
Speaker 3: a fish eye look of your face. But this is
9:16
Speaker 3: clever because it's pretty impressive that this bear turned.
9:18
Speaker 1: It on so easy a bear could do it. And
9:20
Speaker 1: again you can see this on our blog blog tech
9:23
Speaker 1: talk radio dot com. I mean, yeah, oh, there you go.
9:25
Speaker 1: There was the selfie. There's the selfie. Yeah, there's just
9:28
Speaker 1: inside of his mouth. It's like you can Yeah, it's
9:31
Speaker 1: the addentist. Did the bear male the go pro back
9:35
Speaker 1: to the original owner? I mean, how did they find
9:37
Speaker 1: the They must have just found the camera.
9:40
Speaker 3: It doesn't say somebody must have found it.
9:42
Speaker 1: Can you imagine, Sean? I mean, you like getting out
9:45
Speaker 1: in the wild and you lose a camera, you lose it.
9:47
Speaker 1: I've heard people go through this with their smartphone and
9:50
Speaker 1: then they get it back and the footage that they
9:52
Speaker 1: find sometimes it's a little extra. You imagine the person
9:55
Speaker 1: who owned this go pro gets this camera back and
9:58
Speaker 1: there is this bear chop it on it. I mean
10:00
Speaker 1: it is priceless.
10:02
Speaker 3: I mean you imagine loading that footage of going it's cool.
10:05
Speaker 3: I'm gonna somebody find a go Pro and they're gonna
10:07
Speaker 3: see what's on it and then watching that, Yeah, that's wild.
10:12
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to do some more research figure out
10:13
Speaker 3: exactly how that happens.
10:15
Speaker 1: We'll have the link so you can watch the full
10:17
Speaker 1: video get up on the website. We like to tell
10:19
Speaker 1: you about stuff that's coming up. Of course, the next
10:22
Speaker 1: Apple event is happening. Let's see, it'll be a week
10:25
Speaker 1: from Monday, September ninth, which is gonna be a little
10:29
Speaker 1: different than how they've done things in the past. For
10:32
Speaker 1: some reason, I don't know why, but Monday. They've never
10:35
Speaker 1: done it on a Monday. They've always done it on
10:37
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, you know, where they've announced a brand new
10:40
Speaker 1: product and they're they're talking about I don't know, they're
10:44
Speaker 1: talking about the iPhone sixteen. I don't know, are you it?
10:48
Speaker 3: Just I think so there'll be some sort of announcement
10:51
Speaker 3: on the next iteration of the m chip right and
10:54
Speaker 3: for whatever that's gonna look like, you're gonna see that.
10:58
Speaker 3: You're gonna see probably a new iMac or a new
11:03
Speaker 3: studio MAC studio. But I think we're going to see
11:08
Speaker 3: a new vision.
11:08
Speaker 1: A new vision for Is that why you think maybe
11:10
Speaker 1: they're they're switching and doing it on a Monday.
11:12
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think we're going to see another
11:14
Speaker 3: vision or a vision light or a vision not a
11:17
Speaker 3: vision pro but like a vision light or something that's
11:20
Speaker 3: going to compete with the meta, right, something that's going
11:23
Speaker 3: to compete with the vibe, the you know, the riffs, those.
11:27
Speaker 1: You don't think they're giving that up at this point.
11:29
Speaker 1: I mean because it's been you know, it was a
11:32
Speaker 1: lot of excitement when it was first announced and for
11:34
Speaker 1: those who don't know, this is their you know, their
11:36
Speaker 1: version of you know, virtual reality, augmented reality, and then
11:40
Speaker 1: it just kind of got quiet.
11:41
Speaker 3: I just it's not what people want, right. It's like
11:44
Speaker 3: three D TV. Everybody thought it was cool and you
11:48
Speaker 3: had a bunch of people early divers go out and
11:50
Speaker 3: buy three dtvs and glasses, but then people would come
11:53
Speaker 3: over to your house and be like, oh, I've only
11:54
Speaker 3: got one pair of glasses. Let's watch the World Cup
11:57
Speaker 3: in three D right, shot like three events and three D,
12:02
Speaker 3: and then it was just like worthless. It's weird because
12:05
Speaker 3: you think it's cool. Like VR is cool, you just
12:09
Speaker 3: have to really get people to latch onto it. You
12:12
Speaker 3: have to get people to engage with it. You have
12:14
Speaker 3: to have content for people to do in it, and
12:16
Speaker 3: Oculus that has that with Meta.
12:19
Speaker 1: I love the demos that they were doing with vision.
12:22
Speaker 1: I mean the demos of having that, you know, the
12:25
Speaker 1: menu system in front of them and being able to
12:28
Speaker 1: select and you know, yeah, I'm used to looking at
12:31
Speaker 1: a monitor or even a laptop. I played it. I
12:34
Speaker 1: played Call of Duty the other day, which I haven't
12:36
Speaker 1: played a game in forever, and it just it was
12:38
Speaker 1: exciting for me. Now, if I had to put on
12:41
Speaker 1: a headset, it'd be a whole different type of experience,
12:45
Speaker 1: and I don't know if i'd be into it as much.
12:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think some people like it because you can
12:49
Speaker 3: extend desktops and have it just in your field visisi, Like,
12:53
Speaker 3: you can just extend your desktop and have it there
12:54
Speaker 3: as big as small as you want, right, right, And
12:56
Speaker 3: I could see it for productivity, right, But that's not
13:00
Speaker 3: people want these four right. People want to play games,
13:03
Speaker 3: people want to watch movies, People want to engage with
13:07
Speaker 3: the content, right, Like Apple is smart about things like this, right,
13:12
Speaker 3: they understand there's a need for these types of things,
13:14
Speaker 3: but they gate keep people with their price. Yeah, right,
13:17
Speaker 3: It's just it's When I was watching the event with
13:21
Speaker 3: a coworker of mine who has been an Apple fanatic
13:24
Speaker 3: since the eighties and has had and lived out out
13:27
Speaker 3: in California and did Apple developer conferences. He's been there, right,
13:30
Speaker 3: and he was like excited for a new product, and
13:32
Speaker 3: we were watching it and he's like, oh, this this
13:35
Speaker 3: is great, Like this is gonna be right in that
13:37
Speaker 3: you know it's gonna be twenty five hundred dollars max, Right,
13:41
Speaker 3: that's what he was saying, like that. I was betting
13:42
Speaker 3: around twenty five hundred dollars, right, And then they dropped
13:45
Speaker 3: this forty nine hundred dollars price tag. Yeah, and immediately
13:49
Speaker 3: immediate technological turnoff, right, just done, not even not even
13:53
Speaker 3: interested anymore. It's gonna be cool. Maybe I'll get to
13:56
Speaker 3: try it one day, but I don't know anybody that
13:58
Speaker 3: has one. I don't know what anybody that pooned up
14:00
Speaker 3: the money to buy it.
14:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, Apple was for a while. I don't know if
14:04
Speaker 1: they're still doing it. But there was a come on
14:05
Speaker 1: into the store. You could experience it, but you had
14:08
Speaker 1: to sign up for it. There was a line, you know,
14:10
Speaker 1: and then were people but.
14:12
Speaker 3: We'll go to What good is that the average joke
14:15
Speaker 3: could go to Apple and try it.
14:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just getting people into.
14:18
Speaker 3: Their store, right, It's like that's salesman one oh one,
14:21
Speaker 3: if you can get people into your store, they're likely
14:23
Speaker 3: going to buy something. Here's this new flashy thing. Come
14:25
Speaker 3: try it. Well, now you're in my store, and now
14:26
Speaker 3: buy someone else. You can't compete. Try and compete in
14:31
Speaker 3: the VR market. I don't even know if they're trying
14:33
Speaker 3: to compete because they're technically completely separate products. Like you have,
14:36
Speaker 3: the vision pro is productivity, and that's what they're pushing, productivity, productivity.
14:40
Speaker 3: There's no games for it. How are they any games
14:42
Speaker 3: for it? And if they were to drop the price
14:46
Speaker 3: by half and put games on it, Apple, Arcade, Netflix,
14:51
Speaker 3: Disney Plus, you name it, they it, they would sell
14:56
Speaker 3: so many.
14:57
Speaker 1: Let me ask you the first time you experience virtual
15:01
Speaker 1: reality or augmented reality? Was it the type of device
15:04
Speaker 1: that you put was it mata or was it the
15:06
Speaker 1: type of device you put your smartphone in the front
15:09
Speaker 1: and you had to get in an app and you would
15:11
Speaker 1: do it that way even better.
15:14
Speaker 3: The Nintendo Virtual Boy.
15:16
Speaker 1: I don't even remember that.
15:17
Speaker 3: Oh it was Google it. It's a Nintendo Virtual Boy.
15:21
Speaker 3: If anybody has it's it's It was a little tiny
15:25
Speaker 3: LCD screen. It was terrible, really, that was my first Yeah,
15:29
Speaker 3: our experience but no. My first VR experience was a
15:34
Speaker 3: Rift S so Oculus rift S, gifted to me by
15:39
Speaker 3: a friend of mine who had upgraded and didn't want
15:41
Speaker 3: his old Rift anymore. It's hardwired in display port UH
15:45
Speaker 3: and power somewhat adjustable to wearing glasses, you know, if
15:49
Speaker 3: you can get you can get the individual lenses if
15:51
Speaker 3: you want for your prescription whatever. But it's it's still
15:56
Speaker 3: wildly immersive and I enjoy it and I like to
16:00
Speaker 3: play walk about mini golf with my friends. You like
16:03
Speaker 3: to do flight simulator in it. I like to do
16:05
Speaker 3: Formula one in it, like with the racing wheel. I
16:08
Speaker 3: did dirt rally with it. There are plenty of games
16:12
Speaker 3: and then that are fun to play with, and again,
16:15
Speaker 3: it is immersive. It's fun to play, it's fun to
16:18
Speaker 3: sit in and you don't realize how engaged you are
16:21
Speaker 3: with it until you're in it, and then you're like, oh,
16:25
Speaker 3: I can look around the world and I'm in and
16:27
Speaker 3: I'm immersed. And that's what people want. People want to
16:31
Speaker 3: escape reality. That's why it's called virtual reality. But you
16:34
Speaker 3: have that one side of the people that want to
16:36
Speaker 3: do be productive, because if you can make a technology
16:41
Speaker 3: productive and increase the productivity of people with it, that
16:45
Speaker 3: that's gonna make you money by saving money. But people
16:49
Speaker 3: don't want to be productive with virtual reality. They want
16:52
Speaker 3: to play games and watch movies.
16:54
Speaker 1: It is kind of funny, though, when I'm at home,
16:56
Speaker 1: even I don't like to wear headphones. I don't I
16:59
Speaker 1: like to if I'm at home, even if I'm home alone,
17:02
Speaker 1: I don't like to wear headphones. Even though the sound
17:04
Speaker 1: can be sometimes a little more dynamic with the three
17:07
Speaker 1: sixty feel of sound. I get a little nervous because,
17:11
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just like everybody else. Somebody gonna break
17:15
Speaker 1: into my house, I'm not gonna hear them, you know,
17:17
Speaker 1: Or if somebody's gonna be at the door, I'm not
17:19
Speaker 1: gonna hear it. So I, you know, be wearing a
17:22
Speaker 1: virtual headset like the Vision Pro. That would make me
17:25
Speaker 1: a little nervous too.
17:26
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you can totally get lost in it, right,
17:28
Speaker 3: And that's the point of being immersed, right, you are
17:32
Speaker 3: in it. I could see where this technology could get
17:35
Speaker 3: dangerous down the road, and it's only gonna get better.
17:38
Speaker 3: You're only gonna get more immersion, yeah, or sensory feedback,
17:42
Speaker 3: more haptic feedback, that type of stuff. Right, we're going
17:44
Speaker 3: full ready to player one, right, yeah, or you're gonna
17:47
Speaker 3: be in the oasis. But you know the full haptic
17:50
Speaker 3: suits and all that stuff. I'm sure you know. And
17:51
Speaker 3: you got neuralink with must There's two human patients that
17:55
Speaker 3: we know of and they're able to play games and
17:57
Speaker 3: do stuff in just their brain like they don't even
17:59
Speaker 3: have to you anything. Are you?
18:01
Speaker 1: Is there burnout though? On we were getting back to
18:05
Speaker 1: the Apple event though on the iPhone announcements, I mean,
18:09
Speaker 1: is there burnout?
18:09
Speaker 2: Like?
18:10
Speaker 1: Oh, iPhone sixteen? Now, you know?
18:12
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's diminishing returns, right, you could only
18:16
Speaker 3: continue to get something so much before you have to
18:18
Speaker 3: innovate a new product, right, But it.
18:20
Speaker 1: Seems like it's almost every year. Now I know it's not,
18:23
Speaker 1: but it just seems like it.
18:25
Speaker 3: No, they announced a new phone almost every year. They
18:27
Speaker 3: have to because the technology is going so fast they
18:31
Speaker 3: have to keep up.
18:31
Speaker 1: And AI will probably be the groundwork for what we're
18:35
Speaker 1: gonna see from Apple.
18:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was reading something about some of the
18:39
Speaker 3: new AI stuff that you're gonna get in with your
18:41
Speaker 3: phone with the cameras and stuff too, Right, So you're
18:43
Speaker 3: gonna there's gonna be some AI built into the cameras
18:46
Speaker 3: that can do certain things. Can blur faces, it can
18:48
Speaker 3: blur and like now you have gonna be able to
18:51
Speaker 3: turn that off just to get a basic photo. Like
18:54
Speaker 3: now you're gonna have AI in your photos every day,
18:56
Speaker 3: like this is this is again, this is something I've
18:58
Speaker 3: talked about a lot. Right, we are out pacing the
19:03
Speaker 3: human experience with technology. Technology is taking over the human
19:08
Speaker 3: experience literally, photos, videos. We are taking out the creative
19:15
Speaker 3: human element with technology. And that scares me, Yeah, because
19:19
Speaker 3: it's just that that's how our brains work. We have
19:23
Speaker 3: to be creative, We have to do stuff, we have
19:24
Speaker 3: to have an outlet for it. And if we're taking
19:26
Speaker 3: that away from us, what's that going to do for
19:28
Speaker 3: the mental psyche of the world. Right, So that's my
19:31
Speaker 3: biggest fear.
19:33
Speaker 1: We're letting tech do it all for us.
19:35
Speaker 3: It's yeah, because we're lazy.
19:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have to.
19:40
Speaker 3: I'm gonna admit that if I can find an easier
19:42
Speaker 3: way to do something, I'm going to do that.
19:43
Speaker 1: Well. I have found a way to make stuff better
19:46
Speaker 1: using AI. You know, sometimes when I'll just need yeah,
19:49
Speaker 1: just can't find the right wording all right, can you
19:51
Speaker 1: redo this paragraph for me? I've had to do that,
19:54
Speaker 1: and I'll look at it and oh, yeah, flows a
19:56
Speaker 1: little better. Or if I quickly needs something, uppercase the
20:00
Speaker 1: lowercase and I did that on a segment on Fox eleven.
20:03
Speaker 1: The chat GPT can do that for you. So again,
20:06
Speaker 1: then I don't have to sit there and retype the
20:08
Speaker 1: whole thing, you know, even if word doesn't allow that
20:10
Speaker 1: be to do that.
20:11
Speaker 3: So I did get invited to the chat GPT pilot
20:15
Speaker 3: for the university, so I've been using I've actually been
20:18
Speaker 3: using chat gpt.
20:19
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what do you think The goal is?
20:22
Speaker 3: The goal is to how can I make my job
20:25
Speaker 3: better with ai R. So the things that I found
20:29
Speaker 3: that have been easy for it is making custom scripts.
20:35
Speaker 3: Ye hey, I need a rosstalk command for my switcher
20:38
Speaker 3: that will take this video input and put it on
20:40
Speaker 3: that me and do it dissolve. I can just tell it,
20:43
Speaker 3: make me a rostock command that will do this function
20:46
Speaker 3: and it spits it out. I can copy it and
20:47
Speaker 3: paste it right in, hit the button and it doesn't.
20:50
Speaker 1: I have heard of people using chat GPT to create websites.
20:54
Speaker 1: The coding for websites you.
20:57
Speaker 3: Can you can tell it, Hey, I have an I
20:59
Speaker 3: need an HTMO site and I wanted to look like this.
21:02
Speaker 3: I want this to be the theme. I wanted to
21:04
Speaker 3: use these pictures. And you can actually upload you can
21:06
Speaker 3: actually put the up, put the put the pictures into
21:08
Speaker 3: chat gibt, upload them and tell it to lay it
21:10
Speaker 3: out just like this and it'll spin it out. Part
21:12
Speaker 3: of that is seeing how other people are on campus
21:14
Speaker 3: are using it. But what I what I've really found
21:17
Speaker 3: it easy for is searching manuals oh all right, Like hey,
21:23
Speaker 3: I'm having this problem with my TriCaster, and it says, okay,
21:27
Speaker 3: here you can find this in the man and this
21:29
Speaker 3: is the manual, and here it is. Instead of having
21:31
Speaker 3: to search the manual, I can just say this is
21:34
Speaker 3: what I want to do, and it'll just either point
21:36
Speaker 3: me to the manual or it will find it and
21:39
Speaker 3: put it in a way that I can read it
21:41
Speaker 3: so I don't have to go to the manual. And
21:43
Speaker 3: then today I was looking for the manual for the
21:46
Speaker 3: refrigerator in my camper because I'm getting my camper ready,
21:48
Speaker 3: right and I just said, find me the manual for
21:50
Speaker 3: my north cold this you know this model number, and
21:53
Speaker 3: it's spin it right out. Here's where you can find
21:54
Speaker 3: it here' you're gonna download it amazing, Right, how do
21:56
Speaker 3: I how do I engage night mode on my fridge?
21:58
Speaker 1: Boop?
21:59
Speaker 3: Here's how I engaged night mode based on this searching
22:02
Speaker 3: the main right. It's just it's weird how easy it
22:05
Speaker 3: is to do that stuff. But when you have the
22:07
Speaker 3: entire web at your fingertips, it's prett easy.
22:09
Speaker 1: Well, I think we were pretty surprised when we could
22:11
Speaker 1: do searches with Google, and now Chat TPT is taking
22:16
Speaker 1: that to the level. We'll have to see what happens
22:19
Speaker 1: when Google has this integration of AI or even Chat GPT,
22:23
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their own search engine. How that's gonna work,
22:26
Speaker 1: And so far it sounds like from your experience it
22:30
Speaker 1: might work out pretty good.
22:31
Speaker 3: It's working out pretty good. And I'm curious to see
22:34
Speaker 3: we have this whole division of the university now that's
22:39
Speaker 3: that dedicated to AI and ethics. Right, So, but it's
22:43
Speaker 3: gonna be curious to see the school year how that
22:45
Speaker 3: plays out.
22:46
Speaker 1: Gonna take another quick break, We'll be back with more
22:49
Speaker 1: of tech Talk Radio. Just a reminder, you can check
22:52
Speaker 1: out our blog blog dot tech talk radio dot com.
22:55
Speaker 1: Check out the video from this segment, which is all
22:58
Speaker 1: being recorded via AI through zoom and something new that
23:02
Speaker 1: they're doing. We're talking about AI. They take it and
23:05
Speaker 1: they give us a transcript. Now I haven't been using it.
23:07
Speaker 1: I still listen to it and do that, but it's
23:10
Speaker 1: pretty amazing how they were able to do that. I'm
23:12
Speaker 1: Andy Taylor.
23:13
Speaker 3: I'm Shonda word Finance on the web at tech talk
23:15
Speaker 3: radio dot com.
23:17
Speaker 1: And now fact to tech talk Radio.
23:19
Speaker 3: Hey, what's up. This is Tom Arnold and you're listening
23:22
Speaker 3: to tech Talk Radio.
23:24
Speaker 1: They're really great and I love them.
23:26
Speaker 3: Hey how about a copy of Windows? Can I get
23:28
Speaker 3: a laptop? We have a couple listener questions and if
23:33
Speaker 3: you want to have your question read on air and answered,
23:36
Speaker 3: emails at tech Guys at tech talk radio dot com
23:39
Speaker 3: or send us a Facebook message, we all have access
23:41
Speaker 3: to it and can read it and respond and we'll
23:44
Speaker 3: read your questions on the air and get you an answer.
23:46
Speaker 3: So we've got two for you today. Jim in Tucson says,
23:51
Speaker 3: I'm having sticky keys Windows seven laptop.
23:54
Speaker 1: Now sticky keys. Oh boy?
23:56
Speaker 3: Right, So Jim, I want to know is this the
24:00
Speaker 3: where you hold the shift key down too? Long, and
24:02
Speaker 3: it tells you sticky keys is turned on where the
24:05
Speaker 3: shift button comes on.
24:06
Speaker 1: Forgot about that, right?
24:08
Speaker 3: Or are your keys physically sticking because you spilled something.
24:13
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is.
24:15
Speaker 3: Or something's broken. If it's a mechanical, what's a laptop,
24:17
Speaker 3: So it's not mechanical. But but he said, he asks,
24:22
Speaker 3: I want to upgrade to Windows ten, but only if
24:23
Speaker 3: I can fix the keys which sometimes stick or can't
24:26
Speaker 3: be read. Jim, I think you're just bunked, dude. I
24:30
Speaker 3: think you just got to get a new laptop. If
24:31
Speaker 3: you're having sticky key problems and they're not working properly,
24:35
Speaker 3: it's either a hardware problem and you try reimaging your machine.
24:41
Speaker 3: But upgrading to Windows ten isn't going to solve a
24:43
Speaker 3: keyboard problem. No, like the software is not going to
24:46
Speaker 3: fix a hardware problem.
24:47
Speaker 1: I think what it sounds to me like he wants
24:50
Speaker 1: to go to Windows ten. He's just on seven and
24:52
Speaker 1: finally decided he wants to go to ten.
24:54
Speaker 3: If you're running Windows seven and a laptop, you're likely
24:58
Speaker 3: not going to get great performance in Windows ten anyway.
25:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, the idea of maybe a new laptop would be good. However,
25:03
Speaker 1: if he is stuck, the keys can be replaced. Now
25:09
Speaker 1: generally this takes if you took it to like, you know,
25:11
Speaker 1: geek Swad, or you took it to a shop, they
25:15
Speaker 1: might charge you quite a bit for it, because.
25:17
Speaker 3: Right because a lot of those older laptops they have
25:19
Speaker 3: to replace the whole top shell.
25:20
Speaker 1: And then yeah, you gotta take the thing apart. Yeah,
25:23
Speaker 1: you gotta take it apart. And then you gotta, you know,
25:26
Speaker 1: unhook those cables at the bottom of the keyboard. If
25:30
Speaker 1: they order a new keyboard put it. I've done a
25:32
Speaker 1: couple of those, and they're actually not that bad. They
25:35
Speaker 1: take about they could take anywhere from forty five minutes
25:37
Speaker 1: to an hour. But then you've got to buy the
25:39
Speaker 1: keyboard itself, which is generally gonna be about twenty to
25:42
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks, depending on the laptop. And it also
25:45
Speaker 1: depends on the laptop, depends how those keys are set up.
25:48
Speaker 1: Sometimes I have found, I don't know about you, if
25:51
Speaker 1: you take that laptop and you can do this with
25:54
Speaker 1: a keyboard too. So you've got like just the keys
25:56
Speaker 1: just don't feel good, maybe they stick a little. You
26:00
Speaker 1: can actually you know, unplug it, turn it upside down
26:03
Speaker 1: and give it a good shake, you'll be surprised that
26:06
Speaker 1: the crumbs that fall out of it.
26:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, Or get one of the little vacuum blowers that
26:11
Speaker 3: I got. Yeah, yeah, Sea blowers like that works great.
26:14
Speaker 3: We bought when at work, We actually bought one of
26:15
Speaker 3: work for cleaning our keyboards.
26:17
Speaker 1: Right, don't stick, don't stick your hoover on top of it.
26:21
Speaker 1: You know that you use in the home. They actually
26:23
Speaker 1: have a portable the portable vacuum cleaner. You bought one,
26:26
Speaker 1: I know, I bought one too. They're really good.
26:29
Speaker 3: So if worse comes to worse and you don't want
26:33
Speaker 3: to get a new laptop, you can buy a USB
26:35
Speaker 3: keyboard mouse and plug it in and use it just
26:39
Speaker 3: as is with the laptop that you kind of defeats
26:43
Speaker 3: the purpose of a laptop. But if you have to
26:45
Speaker 3: use a keyboard and mouse, you can disable the onboard
26:48
Speaker 3: keyboard and use a USB keyboard mouse to keep going.
26:51
Speaker 3: But like I said, Windows seven came out a long
26:54
Speaker 3: time ago.
26:55
Speaker 1: And that is funny. It doesn't seem like that long.
26:57
Speaker 3: But it's been a good run. But it might be
27:00
Speaker 3: time to retire to that laptop and get on a
27:02
Speaker 3: greener pastures with Windows ten or something.
27:07
Speaker 1: And the good news is the price that he probably
27:09
Speaker 1: paid for the Windows seven laptop back when that came out.
27:13
Speaker 1: Probably gonna find maybe a better performing laptop now.
27:17
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely yeah, you're gonna find a better performing Live
27:20
Speaker 3: up now.
27:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, at cheaper the price for what he paid. All right,
27:23
Speaker 1: there's the thought there, Jim, look at look at it.
27:26
Speaker 3: See what you think. But likely it's time for an upgrade.
27:30
Speaker 3: Speaking of upgrades, we have Sylvia and Green Valley, all right.
27:34
Speaker 3: Sylvia her son's in high school and she wants to
27:36
Speaker 3: get him a Chromebook. Okay, he says, no way, Mom,
27:41
Speaker 3: not doing it. They're slow and they can't run programs
27:43
Speaker 3: that I want. That's that's kind of true, right, Chromebooks
27:48
Speaker 3: are not great laptops, right, And to be honest, he
27:52
Speaker 3: wants to play Minecraft or Ropeblos, right, and you're not
27:56
Speaker 3: going to be doing that on a chrompbook.
27:57
Speaker 1: He's in high school. He wants to play cod the
27:59
Speaker 1: new it's coming out.
28:01
Speaker 3: He wants to play Minecraft, he wants to play Doom.
28:03
Speaker 3: He wants to play you know, the games that mom
28:05
Speaker 3: doesn't want him to play. So there is there's truth
28:09
Speaker 3: to that statement that it can't play or do everything
28:13
Speaker 3: he wants to do. That's true. If it's designed solely
28:16
Speaker 3: for school work and you're word processing and you're just
28:20
Speaker 3: doing that, that's exactly what they're meant to be. Word processing,
28:25
Speaker 3: low impact, low performance, just because if they're only running
28:30
Speaker 3: word processing and checking your emails, that's gonna be great.
28:35
Speaker 1: I think for Sylvia, I think some people don't understand
28:39
Speaker 1: what the difference is between a Chromebook and maybe a
28:43
Speaker 1: notebook that is running Windows or even a Mac. I
28:48
Speaker 1: guess you could say chromebook for those that don't know.
28:52
Speaker 1: It's running an operating system developed by Google, you know
28:57
Speaker 1: Google Chrome, of course Chromebook that is the operating system.
29:00
Speaker 1: It's not Windows, so it's going to operate differently. There's
29:04
Speaker 1: some things that may not run with it, some things
29:06
Speaker 1: that will, and of course the things that will are
29:09
Speaker 1: going to be optimized for school, you know, for education.
29:13
Speaker 1: But again your point there Sean, Yeah, it may not
29:16
Speaker 1: be able to run some of the games that he
29:18
Speaker 1: wants to play in the off time. And the difference
29:21
Speaker 1: in pricing from a Chromebook. You can find a Chromebook
29:24
Speaker 1: for about one fifty versus I mean chromebooks can go
29:28
Speaker 1: all the way up to about three hundred bucks. But
29:29
Speaker 1: you can find a really pretty good, pretty good operating
29:33
Speaker 1: PC laptop for about three hundred and fifty to about
29:38
Speaker 1: you know, four hundred ninety nine dollars, And so that's
29:41
Speaker 1: probably what he's trying to convince mom to do, is
29:43
Speaker 1: not buy that one hundred and fifty dollars chromebook. Spend
29:45
Speaker 1: the five hundred bucks and get something that maybe he'll
29:48
Speaker 1: be a little more happier with, I think, just.
29:50
Speaker 3: Looking at it, evaluating what he really needs to do
29:53
Speaker 3: or what he really wants to do with it. Maybe
29:55
Speaker 3: if he's a senior in high school, buying him something
29:57
Speaker 3: that can last him into college, not just good.
30:00
Speaker 1: One for Sylvia too. And if you have a follow up,
30:03
Speaker 1: let us know what you ended up getting him, Sylvia,
30:05
Speaker 1: because that would be, uh, that'd be kind of fun
30:07
Speaker 1: to find out. In that case, I will tell you, Sean,
30:10
Speaker 1: I talked to you a couple of weeks ago about
30:12
Speaker 1: playing around with a Linux distribution called woon Boontu, and
30:16
Speaker 1: it looks just like Windows eleven, and honestly I was
30:19
Speaker 1: pretty happy with it. But I decided I found an
30:23
Speaker 1: old laptop that was running Windows XP and it was
30:29
Speaker 1: I believe it was an HP and it had. I
30:34
Speaker 1: checked it. I plugged it in. Believe it or not,
30:38
Speaker 1: this thing had not been running in a while. It
30:39
Speaker 1: still had the BIOS password or the BIOS date accurate
30:44
Speaker 1: on it. You know, usually if you unplug a laptop
30:47
Speaker 1: or notebook or a desktop computer and just let it
30:50
Speaker 1: sit there, that little BIOS battery that's in there will
30:53
Speaker 1: wind out and then next thing you know, all your
30:56
Speaker 1: settings will be gone and you'll have to reset it.
30:58
Speaker 1: It kept my date in time, and I hadn't fired
31:01
Speaker 1: this thing up. I hadn't fired this thing up seriously
31:03
Speaker 1: in about six years. That was pretty amazing. So I
31:08
Speaker 1: did plug it in. The BIOS was fine, but I
31:12
Speaker 1: had the battery on. It was basically dead and it
31:15
Speaker 1: can't be recharged, so I have to replace the battery.
31:17
Speaker 1: The battery replacement on this particular HP is going to
31:20
Speaker 1: cost me about one hundred bucks. So do I really
31:24
Speaker 1: want to spend that on this machine? Not really? But
31:28
Speaker 1: I thought, well, this would be a good machine to
31:30
Speaker 1: run a distribution of Linux, the Linux Mint twenty two
31:34
Speaker 1: a lot of people have been talking about. So what
31:37
Speaker 1: I did is I plugged it in. I found the
31:39
Speaker 1: power plug. I was lucky there, plugged it in. I
31:43
Speaker 1: burned an ISO ISO of the Linux bent onto DVD
31:50
Speaker 1: and it has a DVD reader in it, and I
31:53
Speaker 1: went ahead and I booted up, and it saw that
31:58
Speaker 1: and it went ahead and it opened me up next
32:02
Speaker 1: to ide. After about it took about seven minutes. It
32:05
Speaker 1: booted up and there was a Linux Mint screen and
32:09
Speaker 1: I was looking at it, and then it said install
32:11
Speaker 1: Linux Mint. And then I realized I was running a
32:14
Speaker 1: live distribution of it, and we haven't talked about that.
32:18
Speaker 1: So if you have a DVD or you have a
32:22
Speaker 1: flash drive and it has Linux on it, you can
32:25
Speaker 1: actually plug that in and boot up to that, so
32:27
Speaker 1: you're not affecting your Windows system and instead booting up
32:32
Speaker 1: to this Linux system with that. So I started playing
32:34
Speaker 1: around with it and I liked it. So I clicked
32:36
Speaker 1: on the install button because I figured I don't need
32:39
Speaker 1: anything on this drive, and it went through the routine
32:44
Speaker 1: and then it asked me do I want to install
32:47
Speaker 1: it as a side kind of a sidekick, and have
32:51
Speaker 1: it so when the system boots up, I can either
32:54
Speaker 1: to choose to go to Windows XP or go to Linux.
32:59
Speaker 1: And I thought that's pretty cool. I like that. So
33:02
Speaker 1: you have options if you want to play around with Linux,
33:05
Speaker 1: you could do a you know, live distribution, which no slick.
33:09
Speaker 1: We've talked to him before, He's done a lot of
33:11
Speaker 1: live distros. You can do a basically at boot up
33:17
Speaker 1: shows whether you want to do Linux or you want
33:19
Speaker 1: to do Windows. But I will tell you Linux Mint
33:22
Speaker 1: twenty two is pretty full featured. I was really impressed
33:25
Speaker 1: with it. You can do, you have office, you have
33:28
Speaker 1: multimedia features. You know, it doesn't do Microsoft Office, does
33:33
Speaker 1: the open I want to say, Lucha Libre open Libra
33:38
Speaker 1: office that Savian. You have a lot of you love
33:42
Speaker 1: a lot of features you could do with it. And
33:44
Speaker 1: so if you have an old laptop. And this was
33:47
Speaker 1: funny because I showed this on TV, but the battery
33:50
Speaker 1: was dead and it took a little while to boot
33:52
Speaker 1: up because you know, it's a little different slower Windows XP.
33:56
Speaker 1: So I took that anchor power power bank that I have,
34:00
Speaker 1: I plugged it in and so I booted it up
34:03
Speaker 1: when I got to the TV station, so that way
34:05
Speaker 1: it was full powered and I just used it that
34:07
Speaker 1: way and it was great be able to show Linux
34:10
Speaker 1: Man twenty two. So again I really recommend it. I
34:13
Speaker 1: liked it.
34:13
Speaker 3: So we're talking about Linux, right, so many of you listening,
34:18
Speaker 3: probably some of you may have just talked about Linux
34:20
Speaker 3: on the show before, some of you may be hearing
34:22
Speaker 3: it for the first time.
34:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, Linux is just.
34:24
Speaker 3: Another operating system, like Windows.
34:27
Speaker 1: Or like Google Act, like the Chrome bos.
34:28
Speaker 3: OS or Chrome Chromium. You can make it as complicated
34:32
Speaker 3: as you want. They actually have the most market share
34:34
Speaker 3: that they've had ever in history in terms of OS,
34:37
Speaker 3: which is four point four percent of the market share,
34:40
Speaker 3: where Mac has fifteen percent and Windows has seventy two percent.
34:44
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be getting something that's more widely adopted
34:49
Speaker 3: as Windows are Mac. But there are you can if
34:52
Speaker 3: you want, if you're a computer savvy, or you think
34:54
Speaker 3: your computer savvy, or you want to be computer savvy,
34:56
Speaker 3: download it. Yeah, they're free, Most of them are free.
34:58
Speaker 1: That's the thing. What is there. It's not like you're
35:00
Speaker 1: going to a store and buying it off the shelf
35:02
Speaker 1: and taking a shot and seeing if this, you know,
35:04
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen dollars program will work for you.
35:07
Speaker 1: You're giving it a shot, I mean, and if you
35:10
Speaker 1: like it, you can make a donation to the developer.
35:12
Speaker 3: I'm telling you though, the more and more they push
35:15
Speaker 3: full featured ads in my start bar, in my home
35:19
Speaker 3: bar in Windows. The more and more enticing it is
35:24
Speaker 3: to jump to Linux.
35:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's also frustrating, Sean with this whole Windows
35:29
Speaker 1: eleven thing that you're having to people are having to
35:32
Speaker 1: update if they're only going to be you know, it
35:35
Speaker 1: will still work after October of next year. Windows ten, however,
35:39
Speaker 1: you're not going to get the security updates, and they're
35:42
Speaker 1: just It's really been frustrating for so many people. That's
35:46
Speaker 1: why I went down this route because they said, I'm
35:47
Speaker 1: tired of this. I'm tired of, you know, being forced
35:50
Speaker 1: by Microsoft to suddenly have to upgrade my hardware because
35:54
Speaker 1: I want to have this this operating system for Windows eleven.
35:57
Speaker 1: So that's why I've been taking a look at Linux,
35:58
Speaker 1: and I think more people will do that.
36:00
Speaker 3: Well, I think as we get more and more bloated.
36:03
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody loves the say convenience, right, Windows, They're
36:06
Speaker 3: used to Windows. It's Windows, Windows, Windows, Windows. They're so
36:10
Speaker 3: tied into Microsoft around the around the world. But people
36:14
Speaker 3: just need to be aware, like how much data they're
36:17
Speaker 3: actually taking from you. You're paying them most most of
36:20
Speaker 3: the time, you're paying Windows for operating system and then
36:23
Speaker 3: they're just taking your data and it's costing you more
36:27
Speaker 3: to give them the data. That it Linux is going
36:29
Speaker 3: to come around and people are going to start to
36:31
Speaker 3: see it as an alternative to Windows as a non
36:36
Speaker 3: ad flush.
36:38
Speaker 1: If anybody has any questions on that field, for you
36:40
Speaker 1: to drop me a line. Tech guys at tech talk
36:43
Speaker 1: radio dot com. Goeta take another break. Standing by, We're
36:46
Speaker 1: going to be talking with the manager for the brand
36:50
Speaker 1: new Cursu which is opening in the Tucson Mall. They've
36:55
Speaker 1: got a pretty good tech department as well, and I
36:57
Speaker 1: gotta tell you after a visit to the the Currosow
37:01
Speaker 1: that has been here for a while on sixth and
37:04
Speaker 1: the E ten, that's pretty impressed. I'll tell you why,
37:07
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to the manager about what they're doing
37:09
Speaker 1: with this brand new location. Coming up on tech talk Radio,
37:12
Speaker 1: I'm Andy Taylor.
37:13
Speaker 3: I'm sean to word find us on Facebook tech Talkers.
37:16
Speaker 1: Now back to tip talk Radio. So not long ago,
37:22
Speaker 1: I decided I needed to do some shopping now for
37:25
Speaker 1: our tech segment that I do on News thirteen Fox eleven.
37:30
Speaker 1: You know, I get to a point sometimes where I
37:33
Speaker 1: just get so busy I can't reach out to companies
37:36
Speaker 1: and get them to send me stuff to show on TV.
37:38
Speaker 1: So I go out and I buy it, especially if
37:40
Speaker 1: it's product that I think I'm gonna want to use.
37:43
Speaker 1: And you know, we were me and Gloria were talking
37:45
Speaker 1: about the fact that we had never ever been to
37:47
Speaker 1: Currosow and Curse How is a retail store that is
37:52
Speaker 1: off sixth and the E ten And I see, you know,
37:56
Speaker 1: I really want to go. I want to go on,
37:58
Speaker 1: but I also wanted to go to that market that
38:00
Speaker 1: it's there because they sell Thrifties ice cream that's next
38:02
Speaker 1: door to it. But I thought, Okay, I really want
38:04
Speaker 1: to check this out, so I decided let's go. So
38:07
Speaker 1: we went and it was a I believe it was
38:10
Speaker 1: a Sunday or Saturday, uh, and it was. I was
38:14
Speaker 1: so amazed, number one, how big this location is, but
38:18
Speaker 1: also how great everybody was in the store. And I'm
38:22
Speaker 1: not just saying that. You know, you get to a
38:25
Speaker 1: point sometimes where you go into retail and everybody's like
38:28
Speaker 1: there because they got to be there. You know, they're
38:30
Speaker 1: they're making their paycheck, not a curse out. I felt
38:33
Speaker 1: like everybody that was there wanted to be there. They
38:37
Speaker 1: were friendly. When I asked, where's the tech, you know,
38:40
Speaker 1: I was pointed like right there, and it's right up
38:43
Speaker 1: in front, and just it was just a really great
38:46
Speaker 1: shopping experience and pricing was really good. And I remember Gloria,
38:50
Speaker 1: you know, was very happy too, because they have a
38:52
Speaker 1: children's betting section because you know, my grandson comes over
38:56
Speaker 1: and she wanted to get this little race car bed
38:58
Speaker 1: and was looking and she said, she actually said to
39:00
Speaker 1: the a sales clerk that was helping us, I wish
39:03
Speaker 1: you were a little closer because we live on the
39:06
Speaker 1: northwest side of Tucson, which is a bit of a
39:08
Speaker 1: track to get over to sixth and they put a
39:11
Speaker 1: big smile on their faces. Well, it looks like you're
39:13
Speaker 1: going to get the opportunity Curseal's going to be opening
39:16
Speaker 1: a brand new location, and I was so excited to
39:19
Speaker 1: hear about that. I've been waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally we
39:22
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to Alison Gaxiola, who is
39:25
Speaker 1: the manager for the brand new location of curs Ow,
39:29
Speaker 1: which is going to be at the Tucson Mall. Allison,
39:31
Speaker 1: it's great to talk to you.
39:32
Speaker 2: Hi. Yeah, Well, first of all, thank you for going
39:35
Speaker 2: into our store, we are we focused a lot on
39:38
Speaker 2: customer experience, so I'm glad that you like the experience there.
39:42
Speaker 2: People treated you well. We don't like to put pressure
39:45
Speaker 2: on anybody, but yes, thank you for coming all the
39:48
Speaker 2: way over there. But the good news is, like you said,
39:50
Speaker 2: we are going to open a new location in the
39:52
Speaker 2: Tucson month, So we're going to be moving to a bigger,
39:55
Speaker 2: more convenient spot for most people. So that's going to
39:58
Speaker 2: give us the fortunity to offer even more affordable, quality
40:02
Speaker 2: products and different financing options that have already helped millions
40:05
Speaker 2: in the past.
40:06
Speaker 1: Oh. Absolutely. If you look at Curse Out and the
40:09
Speaker 1: history of the company and you go back, I mean
40:11
Speaker 1: they've got they've got it. It started as what from
40:14
Speaker 1: what from what I understand, was a door to door
40:16
Speaker 1: operation of sales in Los Angeles in that area.
40:20
Speaker 2: Yees, yeah, exactly started door to door. The La riots happened,
40:25
Speaker 2: it burned to the ground, they got a new location
40:27
Speaker 2: and they've been on ever since and just they just
40:30
Speaker 2: keep growing.
40:31
Speaker 1: Yep. Now we have locations in I know, California, Arizona.
40:36
Speaker 1: Now do you have some others in Nevada.
40:38
Speaker 2: We're in Las Vegas as well.
40:39
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can't go wrong with Vegas. Somebody needs something,
40:42
Speaker 1: you're there for a show. There they go. Now then
40:49
Speaker 1: I think our listeners should understand too. And you know,
40:51
Speaker 1: I am the tech guy. I'm a techie, so I
40:53
Speaker 1: love the technology. But uh, they offer kind of a
40:56
Speaker 1: wide range of different products.
40:58
Speaker 2: We do. Yeah, so we have high quality electronics and
41:02
Speaker 2: home essentials, so without training your budget, there's options for
41:06
Speaker 2: basically all of your home shopping all at once. Given beauty,
41:09
Speaker 2: we have a fashion department, so it's just the one
41:11
Speaker 2: stop story. But it's great.
41:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was shown the line of purses by Gloria
41:16
Speaker 1: that were there, Like, I want that one? What that one?
41:20
Speaker 1: What that one? Now? How One of the things I noticed, Alison,
41:25
Speaker 1: was that the tech section that's in there was pretty
41:29
Speaker 1: fall I mean, not only did you have a great
41:31
Speaker 1: selection of televisions, but like you had these Harmon cardon
41:35
Speaker 1: speaker systems that was on display and playing music and everything.
41:38
Speaker 1: But I'll be honest, I have not seen any these
41:41
Speaker 1: in retail anywhere else, and we decided we wanted to
41:44
Speaker 1: get them because I've seen them on online but never
41:48
Speaker 1: in store to get an actual demonstration. How do you
41:51
Speaker 1: decide like what products are going to be on display
41:54
Speaker 1: and how tech not how tech you're going to be,
41:57
Speaker 1: because I from what I understand, you did even get motherboards, right.
42:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we want to stay competitive with the market,
42:03
Speaker 2: so we do observe what the competitors have and what
42:06
Speaker 2: we should be having, and obviously what people are looking
42:09
Speaker 2: for as well. So all of our products inside of
42:11
Speaker 2: the store we want to have on display because we
42:13
Speaker 2: want people to feel it to know what it's going
42:17
Speaker 2: to be like when they buy it. So basically anything
42:20
Speaker 2: that goes in, we're going to have it on display
42:21
Speaker 2: for you to make sure that you guys know what
42:23
Speaker 2: you're buying. And we yeah, we do demos, so we
42:26
Speaker 2: make sure that our associates are trained to demonstrate the
42:29
Speaker 2: product for you guys and have a better experience once
42:32
Speaker 2: you have it at home.
42:33
Speaker 1: Now, with this new location that's going to be at
42:35
Speaker 1: the Tucson Mall, can you tell us what area, what
42:38
Speaker 1: part of the twoson Mall that's going to be at.
42:40
Speaker 2: Yes, So it's going to be at the old Forever
42:43
Speaker 2: twenty one location. So it's two story building right by
42:45
Speaker 2: the food court and there's two entrances, so you're going
42:48
Speaker 2: to see an entrance by the food court into the
42:50
Speaker 2: parking lot, and then there's an upstairs entrance from the
42:53
Speaker 2: parking lot as well, so you're going to just basically
42:56
Speaker 2: go on the side that's on by Macy.
42:58
Speaker 1: So Dillards, Now, will you be carrying the same line
43:00
Speaker 1: of products for our listeners that maybe have have never
43:03
Speaker 1: stepped into Curisal you know I did for the first
43:06
Speaker 1: time two months ago. What are some of the different
43:08
Speaker 1: product lines that you have there at this store that
43:11
Speaker 1: will be there.
43:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we have different brands big of the most
43:14
Speaker 2: of the known brands, Samsung, the Harman, Jbls, all of those,
43:19
Speaker 2: but everybody else carries, and of course you were models.
43:23
Speaker 2: We want to make sure that every year we stay
43:25
Speaker 2: up to date with the latest models. So you're going
43:27
Speaker 2: to see a little bit of everything in the computer department, HP, Lenobyo,
43:31
Speaker 2: everything you see out there, and some of our brands
43:34
Speaker 2: as well in the TVs and you'll see our brand
43:37
Speaker 2: nobody else carries, So you'll see some of those items
43:39
Speaker 2: there which are more of the affordable for most customers
43:42
Speaker 2: as well, So you'll see a little bit of everything
43:44
Speaker 2: for everyone's budget.
43:45
Speaker 1: We're big fans of Razor I know that we saw
43:48
Speaker 1: Razor keyboards my gaming products. So for the gamer or
43:52
Speaker 1: those that want to use their technology for business, they're
43:56
Speaker 1: going to find that with a pretty big display of monitors.
43:59
Speaker 1: I mean you had everything from the forty nine inch
44:02
Speaker 1: curved to you know, twenty seven inch even and this
44:06
Speaker 1: surprised me. And you know, for those that are running
44:08
Speaker 1: servers that are looking for just a VGA solution, you
44:12
Speaker 1: had those there as well, and the price was great
44:15
Speaker 1: on those, so again you have products that kind of
44:18
Speaker 1: cover the gamut. We ended up getting ourselves the Anchor
44:22
Speaker 1: power bank, which which was a it's a portable power
44:26
Speaker 1: unit and like I used it on television this past
44:29
Speaker 1: week because I had a laptop that battery on it.
44:32
Speaker 1: It's not working anymore, but it's from the old Windows
44:35
Speaker 1: XP days and I needed to show it on TV
44:38
Speaker 1: booting up Linux. So we just plugged it into that
44:40
Speaker 1: power and took it onto the set with us. Nobody
44:43
Speaker 1: saw that, but that's how it got its power without
44:46
Speaker 1: us having to wait five minutes for it to boot up.
44:48
Speaker 1: So it worked out. It worked out great with that
44:50
Speaker 1: anchored display there, so again you have pretty much everything
44:54
Speaker 1: now for somebody that comes in and they say, well,
44:56
Speaker 1: you know, we want to know, we want to finance
44:59
Speaker 1: it you. Actually, the Curse has also been really good
45:01
Speaker 1: in their financing options when it comes to buying products.
45:05
Speaker 2: Yep, exactly. We have different financing options. We again another
45:09
Speaker 2: way for us stick competitor in the market and making
45:11
Speaker 2: sure that everybody gets the opportunity to get whatever they
45:15
Speaker 2: need for their home. There's different financing for everybody. We
45:19
Speaker 2: help everybody. So you walk in, we have an option
45:23
Speaker 2: for you and different and financing options as well as
45:26
Speaker 2: and then house finance, which is a sema for us,
45:29
Speaker 2: so that would be a secondary.
45:30
Speaker 1: Very cool. Now there's a big grand opening celebration. It
45:34
Speaker 1: is scheduled and you're going to be this is when
45:35
Speaker 1: the doors will open October fifth, or will they be
45:38
Speaker 1: opened kind of a soft opening before that.
45:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, we plan on doing a top opening the third

47:09
Speaker 1: Talk Radio. And now back to tech Talk Radio. I
47:13
Speaker 1: want to make sure we get to this comment from
47:14
Speaker 1: David here at Green Valley that had a question regarding
47:19
Speaker 1: the old one point four to four floppies. Yeah, and
47:22
Speaker 1: I think we may have talked about this at some
47:24
Speaker 1: point before, but he has these these these computer does
47:28
Speaker 1: not have an a drive or a beat drive, so
47:30
Speaker 1: you could read these and what died. You know, if
47:32
Speaker 1: there's a place you could go, Actually you're better off
47:36
Speaker 1: I think, David, if you jump on Amazon or maybe
47:40
Speaker 1: even hit your retailer to see if they have and
47:43
Speaker 1: they might have it. They've got the one point four
47:46
Speaker 1: to four floppies that connect via USB, so you can
47:49
Speaker 1: connect it. You should be able to read that old
47:52
Speaker 1: drive and be able to copy that data that way.
47:55
Speaker 1: And they're not that expensive, I want to say, maybe
47:58
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty bucks, and you should be able to
48:01
Speaker 1: do that in that way. If you need to get
48:03
Speaker 1: something off of those, you can now if you have
48:05
Speaker 1: a question for the show, please drop us a line anytime.
48:09
Speaker 1: Tech Guys at tech talk radio dot com. We're on Facebook,
48:12
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com, forward slash tech Talkers. We have a
48:15
Speaker 1: phone number five two zero seven to seven to seven
48:18
Speaker 1: ninety five eighty. You can leave a message there and
48:20
Speaker 1: if you've got a question or comment for the show
48:22
Speaker 1: that we could share on the air, we will. We
48:24
Speaker 1: would love to do that as well. Now, Sean has
48:27
Speaker 1: been following something that he's kind of passionate about, and
48:30
Speaker 1: that's amateur radio ham Radio, and I wanted to share
48:34
Speaker 1: a situation they're going through.
48:35
Speaker 3: So we occasionally talk about ransomware attacks and malbooware attacks
48:39
Speaker 3: and things like that, and some of us have been
48:41
Speaker 3: directly affected by those. And one of the companies that
48:46
Speaker 3: actually not a company, it's just the Amateur Relay Amateur
48:50
Speaker 3: Radio Relay League, which is the ABRL, which is basically
48:52
Speaker 3: the home of ham Radio in May had a cyber attack.
48:57
Speaker 3: They got ransomwared. They so for cybertech disrupted their network
49:02
Speaker 3: and their systems including various online services hosted, so some
49:06
Speaker 3: of their stuff was down for a long time, but
49:08
Speaker 3: they actually paid the ransom.
49:10
Speaker 1: Wait they paid it, but they couldn't just reset up
49:14
Speaker 1: everything or it would have been just too much.
49:16
Speaker 3: Who knows. I mean, if you don't have a good
49:18
Speaker 3: backup or your the data is that valuable, it's worth
49:22
Speaker 3: it to pay.
49:23
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of a big warning there on the
49:25
Speaker 1: importance of this day and age too, of making a
49:27
Speaker 1: backup and having a great backup. But you know, I
49:31
Speaker 1: know that usually SISA recommends not paying.
49:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, it's just going to encourage them to do more.
49:37
Speaker 3: And then they have money. They're funded. They're funding terrorists,
49:40
Speaker 3: basically cyber terrorists. Yeah. So, but that the data that
49:46
Speaker 3: was taken had member databases, some private information, names, addresses,
49:51
Speaker 3: call signs, this type of stuff. So wow, And most
49:53
Speaker 3: more often than now, your call sign is tied to
49:55
Speaker 3: your home address, like minus for me, you search for me,
49:59
Speaker 3: my call sign will take you to my home address.
50:01
Speaker 3: A lot of people will tell you to use a
50:03
Speaker 3: peel box. But so it's just another company hit by
50:07
Speaker 3: a ransomware attack. Everybody's vulnerable.
50:09
Speaker 1: So I just gotta well, you look at the last
50:11
Speaker 1: week Sea Tack Settle Seattle Airport also had a malware
50:17
Speaker 1: attack and it cripples the system and it's you know,
50:21
Speaker 1: we think about it, it's like, Okay, the system's down,
50:24
Speaker 1: that's how they operate. So when they can't operate, they're
50:26
Speaker 1: losing money. And that's exactly what what happened. It's like,
50:31
Speaker 1: you know what, well, we know that CrowdStrike wasn't malware,
50:35
Speaker 1: wasn't ransomware, but when that event happened, that costs companies
50:38
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Delta still apparently is reeling from
50:42
Speaker 1: the amount of money that it costs them.
50:44
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, if if any company is down,
50:46
Speaker 3: that's money they're losing. It's crazy how it's just another
50:51
Speaker 3: part of the technology technological world we live in where
50:54
Speaker 3: if technology is down, they can't make money.
50:56
Speaker 1: Yep. Last week, Larry and Tucson sent us a question
50:59
Speaker 1: of out finding tech podcasts, and I like, Justin's Justin's resource,
51:04
Speaker 1: saying okay, yeah, here's a good one for you tech
51:06
Speaker 1: talk radio dot com. But you may have heard of
51:11
Speaker 1: the Internet archive, and the Internet archive is a way
51:14
Speaker 1: to archive the web archive, website archive, literature, television, film,
51:22
Speaker 1: I mean a whole bunch of stuff. And they just
51:24
Speaker 1: recently did a project they preserved a classic radio show
51:29
Speaker 1: on early computer technology from the eighties that had a
51:34
Speaker 1: bunch of people involved in this that we're guests being interviewed.
51:38
Speaker 1: We're talking the eighties, so this is at the you know,
51:41
Speaker 1: the height of you know, the home computers. I remember
51:45
Speaker 1: going to Egghead Software, you know, back in nineteen eighty four,
51:48
Speaker 1: and you know, they were little stories, but they were
51:50
Speaker 1: so busy. This show is called The Famous Computer Cafe,
51:56
Speaker 1: and they found fifty three episodes that aired from night
52:00
Speaker 1: teen eighty three to nineteen eighty six. And Sean, do
52:03
Speaker 1: you know who some of those interviews are?
52:07
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I mean I'm just looking it up.
52:09
Speaker 3: But it's like Bill Gates, Jack tremill yep, Bill Atkinson,
52:14
Speaker 3: Timothy Leary, Douglas Adley, computer.
52:17
Speaker 1: Icons, Yeah, talking about what they were doing at the
52:21
Speaker 1: beginning of this computer revolution, we'll call it that. Uh.
52:25
Speaker 1: And they found these shows and they're gonna be and
52:27
Speaker 1: the thing is not available like I would say, Okay,
52:31
Speaker 1: we're gonna air episode one or episode two. They're available
52:33
Speaker 1: for you to listen to at the Internet archive.
52:37
Speaker 3: But listen to this, right, So if the creators of
52:41
Speaker 3: The Famous Computer Cafe they saved every episode on real
52:44
Speaker 3: to real tapes, right, But over the years, the tapes
52:46
Speaker 3: were forgotten and ultimately lost. Earlier this year, an archivist
52:51
Speaker 3: recovered several of their tapes in a property sale.
52:55
Speaker 1: A real and reel to reel, not cassette, and recognize.
52:58
Speaker 3: Their value and I did. They launched a GoFundMe and
53:02
Speaker 3: they had them digitized and made them available to the
53:04
Speaker 3: Internet archives.
53:05
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now now that is internet is it? What is
53:09
Speaker 1: the Internet Archive? How can listeners get to it?
53:12
Speaker 2: Uh?
53:12
Speaker 3: Blog dot archive dot org or just archives inn. Just
53:16
Speaker 3: just google the Internet Archive. You're gonna find all sorts
53:19
Speaker 3: of stuff if you If you like old doss games,
53:21
Speaker 3: you can actually play old doss games right at the
53:23
Speaker 3: Internet Archive, which is pretty cool. But go to this,
53:26
Speaker 3: just go to that. We'll put a blink in our
53:28
Speaker 3: blog for this because they have a blog about this
53:31
Speaker 3: whole process. There's actually a picture that this person put
53:35
Speaker 3: up there of the tapes in a box that have
53:38
Speaker 3: handwritten on here. Ed Thompson Timothy like this is cool
53:42
Speaker 3: seeing his handwritten notes on the reel, the reels that
53:47
Speaker 3: they have one that they talked to, the sec they
53:50
Speaker 3: talked to. It's really cool to see this box of
53:55
Speaker 3: labeled and to date myself a little bit here. Yeah,
54:00
Speaker 3: none of these dates are after I was born. These
54:04
Speaker 3: are all pre nineteen.
54:06
Speaker 1: Eighty six, before you were born, Right, isn't that crazy?
54:10
Speaker 3: This is it's wild how these people impact the technology
54:14
Speaker 3: so much back in the eighties, right before I was
54:17
Speaker 3: even born.
54:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty amazing stuff. So again, you can find
54:20
Speaker 1: that archive dot org all kinds of great stuff up there.
54:23
Speaker 1: If you want to look at a website, what did
54:24
Speaker 1: that website look like five years ago, six years ago?
54:27
Speaker 1: You could do that as well by typing the website
54:30
Speaker 1: tod dressed in and just choose the date and you
54:31
Speaker 1: can take a look there, even read some of the
54:33
Speaker 1: articles that maybe aren't on that website anymore. All right,
