  Let's talk tech.
• 7:49
  TCL is facing serious allegations this month after tests on three of its televisions, marketed
• 7:56
  as quantum dot TBs, reportedly showed no evidence of actual quantum dots.
• 8:03
  Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor particles that emit various colors of light when exposed
• 8:08
  to specific frequencies.
• 8:11
  They enhance the color range on premium televisions and monitors.
• 8:16
  If TCL is found to be misrepresenting standard televisions as quantum dot models, it could
• 8:22
  lead to significant scandals, erode consumer trust, and prompt legal consequences.
• 8:28
  However, conflicting test results and skepticism about TCL's ability to execute such a scam
• 8:35
  raise questions about the validity of these accusations.
• 8:41
  And in entertainment news.
• 8:44
  Hence about a sequel to Constantine have been circulating for years, although it was not
• 8:49
  a top priority due to Keanu Reeves' commitments to other projects.
• 8:55
  The film, released in 2005, became a cult favorite, sparking genuine interest in a follow-up.
• 9:02
  Peter Francis Lawrence showed interest in 2011, while Peter Stormare seemingly confirmed
• 9:08
  it in 2020.
• 9:11
  By 2021, Reeves indicated he had tried to progress the project.
• 9:16
  Finally, in 2022, Warner Bros. confirmed the sequel is underway, with Reeves and Lawrence
• 9:24
  returning.
• 9:25
  More details are eagerly anticipated.
• 9:28
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 9:34
  And today, our quote comes from the American novelist and journalist, Ernest Hemingway.
• 9:41
  And he said,
• 9:43
  What man is not made for defeat?
• 9:46
  A man can be destroyed, but not defeated.
• 9:51
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
