  Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I'm Sean de Weird.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: It's just us.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's just the two of us today. But you know
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it's probably pretty good because, well, let's face it, Justin
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is not a fan of the Apple.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: And neither's Matt.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Matt. Really, I thought Matt was kind of like, kind
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of like, no, not at all, man, boy.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: He tolerates it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Justin.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: You know, Justin is a cynic for Apple, so real, well,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: he is Apple's biggest critic.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he just doesn't like anything Apple has done.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think the.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Only thing that he likes that Apple's done is the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: poop emo g. That's how it feels about Apple.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Well, the cool thing is is I've actually gone back
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to Apple, So I'm kind of like reinvigorating my side
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: business that I used to do a lot, graphics and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: design and scanning and all that stuff. I had my
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Skype number, which was a great number, and then of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: course Skype went away Skype. But yeah, exactly, but I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: had paid for my stype's Skype phone number for a year.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I paid for it and then within two weeks is
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: when Skype said, well, we're going away, so I still
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: have the phone number, but it said I have to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: have it ported by April of next year or I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: lose it or whatever. So I just decided, you know what,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I've got this iPhone fourteen Promax that is just sitting here.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I carry around my you know, Pixel all the time,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: so why not put that Skype number onto the iPhone
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and start carrying that around me. That's a business phone.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So I'm back into the world of Apple, and I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: gotta say I'm kind of happy about it too. So
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: so far, I've not had any spam calls.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So on the topic of Apple, A couple months
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: ago they did their software They announced OS twenty six
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and Tahoe and a couple of things. But on the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: ninth they announced this is a hardware announcement, so a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: couple of the big the big key things was new
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: AirPod Pro threes oh three new models of Apple Watch,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: three base models of iPhones iPhone seventeen, iPhone Air and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: iPhone seventeen Pro and Promax oh wow, and man it
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: some of it's really cool.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering though, like, Okay, on the watches I've got,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you know, the I Watch. I got one before I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: had switched to the pixel smartphone, and I'm kind of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: glad I still have it. I mean, I use it
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for keeping control, keeping an eye on the heart, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you know the blood oxygen which was gone for a while,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but it's back and it's got Mickey Mouse on it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I like it. How can they improve on a watch?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: That's what made me kind of huh. Watches.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: So they had the Watch se which is like their base,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: base level watch, and these all launched September nineteenth, by
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the way. So they had the Watch se which was
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it's they're calling it their budget health conscious watch. Basically
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it's got a budget with all the health features.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: They have the Apple Watch Series eleven, which they added.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: The new thing they added was hypertension tracking, so if
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you have hypertension, it can track and aid you in
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: understanding when you're having hypertension or if you're encountering hypertension.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: They added sleep tracking, oh wow, so it can do
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a bigger overall picture of your sleep health. And then
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: they have the Watch Ultra three, So the the third
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: series of the Ultra which it has satellite messaging, so
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the SOS messaging, but via satellite, so you can do
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: satellite messaging from it. And they're touting that the Ultra
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: three has a seventy two hour battery life.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Really on the watch, seventy two hour. So this is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: great if somebody is stuck in the wilderness.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this, this one would be if you're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: if you're doing some outdoorsy stuff and you know you're
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: out there for a couple of days, you can't recharge
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: some stuff. Your your your your watch is going to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: be doing a good job. My watch is pain to me.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But so those are the watches, right, So those three
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and I don't see the prices on this. I'll have
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to look at the prices again here in a second.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: The first thing they announced was the AirPod Pro threes,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the third generation of the AirPod pros. I have the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: second gen. I love them. The noise canceling is fantastic.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: They improve the active noise canceling. It can track your
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: heart rate through your AirPods. Wait what the AirPods have
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: heart rate monitoring built in. So if you don't have
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: an Apple watch, but you want to track your exercise
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and your heart rate, the air pods using some sort
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of spatial audio and sensing in your ears can track
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: your heart rate.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Oh that's amazing. Well all right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: The other cool thing was it's using Apple Intelligence. It
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: does live translation. You speak Spanish to me, the AirPods
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: will translate it to English.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Now, I've seen some third party devices that have been
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: doing this, but this is all going to be included in.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: That, just with the AirPods. So I don't know if
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you have to have a specific version of iPhone for
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it to work. But it was a flagship feature of
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the AirPods standalone. Wow, which was really cool. Now they
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: touted that into the iPhones also that you can do
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: live translation stuff. So it's got to be paired with
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Apple Intelligence. So you probably have to have an iPhone
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that runs Apple Intelligence. But I don't know. It's to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: be determined whether or not it's it has to I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: don't know, but it's really cool.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So somebody could be having a conversation with you. You
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: just hold up the smartphone and say they're speaking, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: speaking Spanish you don't speak Spanish, or they're speaking you know, Japanese,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and it would take it and translate it while you're
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: wearing the.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So you speak Spanish to me and then it's like
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a delayed translator in your ear. It translated the Siri
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: or whoever your voice will speak to you in your
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: native language or whatever language you choose. Right Automa like
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: real time, and if both people have AirPods, it apparently
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: knows and we'll do it bi directionally.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So it was pretty impressive to see. I mean, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: knew it was coming.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: They actually demo because you were able to watch the event,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: which they called the awe Dropping Event a dropping event. Yes,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you were able to watch the event. Did they show
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: that demonstrated?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I mean they showed some canned videos of it being done,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: but they didn't do anything live. Right, So it's like
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: skeptical until I try it. I'd be very intrigued to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: try it. You know, we get some international students and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it'd be cool to seed we work right, right, So
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the three watches the air pods, and then they announced
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: three new versions of the iPhone.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: All right, so you had the.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: iPhone seventeen, which is using the A nineteen chip. It's
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: literally a great entry level phone. Everybody's saying, like, there's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: no reason if you're an Apple user and you want
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a great phone, The iPhone seventeen, just the base model
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: is going to be fantastic. Everybody was rumored that there
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: was gonna be a super thin iPhone, the iPhone Air.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It's got a five point three millimeter thickness fine point.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Wow, what really, that's tiny.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very very thin. And they're they're touting that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: both sides of the phone, the front and the back
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: glass are got this ceramic coating at the atomic level
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: or something, so it's super scratch resistant. Super you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: they dropped, you know, they were showing them getting smashed around,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and they had some videos of them getting hit by stuff.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But then then wounce the iPhone seventeen right, which has
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: a redesigned battery for super long battery life. Then they
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: announced the iPhone seventeen Pro and the Pro Max, the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: iPhone seven. So the iPhone seventeen has two cameras on it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It's got a wide angle and a telephoto. They're all
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: all of the cameras on the seventeen. The Air and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the seventeen Pro are all forty eight megapixel sensors, so
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: they bumped up the sensor size significantly in these cameras,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and there's just a load of features. But the seventeen
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Pro and the Pro Max are all aluminum body design
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: because the battery is ginormous in this thing and the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: processing power is huge. They're running the eight the A
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: nineteen s or something like that, like the pro version
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: of the AA nineteen chip, and you can do so
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: much with the camera. You can record four K, one
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty frame, you can do pro resira, you
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: can do tons of stuff. You can add a black
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Magic Design accessory that will give you genlock, it'll give
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: you time code, it will if this is a low
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: end cinema camera basically like they are touting this to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: a broadcast level a camera quality. They shot the whole
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: presentation on the iPhone seventeen's. All the Apple stuff they
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: did was shot on the iPhone seventeens.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I remember some years ago when they were showing I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: want to say the fourteen and they actually shot an
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: entire film using the fourteen and presented that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: A Yeah, I mean they're all doing it now. Every
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: time they launch a new iPhone, somebody shot a movie
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: with it. But yeah, so it's got a larger battery
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and it they're saying it'll do up to like thirty
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: two hours of video playback. It's crazy how big this is.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: What would be the biggest reason, Sean, just from watching
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: this for somebody like you're on the thirteen right, thirteen
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Pro thirteen Pro and I've got the fourteen, What would
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: be the biggest reason to update or upgrade from somebody
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: who had, you know, a device that was maybe just
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a little a little older.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Just to get the current gen hardware. I mean, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: really don't have a desire to move. I don't like again,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the last phone I had before the thirteen Pro was
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a seven S and that was five generations. I waited.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Now I'm at the same point where I'm on this.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I'm on the thirteen. I don't have a reason. But
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the price of the iPhone seventeen was just seven ninety
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: nine flat okay for a two hundred and fifty six
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: gig based storage, so that they bumped up the minimum
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: storage for the iPhone seventeen to two fifty six. Maybe
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a seventeen would have been back go. I don't think
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I don't need the Pro or the Pro Max. I'm
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: not doing any of that creative content. I wouldn't need
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to spend twelve hundred dollars on a phone.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you think these are going to be priced
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: for quite higher than what we've already seen. We haven't
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: seen the pricing on the smartphones yet, right, or did
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they go ahead.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: The iph the iPhone Air. I was surprised. It was
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: just high, to be honest. But it's nine to ninety
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: nine for the iPhone Air.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think people are used to that now.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I think the iPhone seventeen Pro was ten ninety nine,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the air pods were two forty nine, and the watches
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: were around the same price there now for current gen
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: phone for watches. So, but I mean overall, they touted
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the cameras. The cameras were a big push, right. They're
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: all all at this baseline forty eight megapixel. They all
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: have two camera more than two or more so. The
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: iPhone seventeen and the iPhone Air have the two cameras,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the one wide angle and the one telephoto so optical zoom.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: The iPhone Air had some other fancy stuff in it
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that just seemed to be five point six milimeters. It's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: titanium six point five inch screen with the one hundred
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and twenty hertz refresh. Oh this, the Air has this feature,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: but I don't think the other cameras do dual filming mode,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: so you can record both the front and the rear
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: at the same time.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Oh no, that's cool.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: So you can have like you could be filming vertically
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: but have your reaction also like a FaceTime almost.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll have your little box square. Well, that'll be good.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Creators will love that.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's this. They kind of mentioned like this is
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: for creators, like the Air was designed for creators because
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: it's so slim, it's sleek.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It's Are they doing anything battery wise with those did
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they mention? I mean, you mentioned that you get some
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: pretty long life, so I would have to think that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: they increased it. One of the things I loved about
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the as US phone that I looked at recently that
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: one had two batteries in it, so it just really
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: gave you long, long battery life for the power you'd
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: be consuming on it. I'm wondering if Apple is going
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to be doing the same thing with their they.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Touted they touted battery life pretty life. They said, Apple
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: sites up to twenty seven hours of video playback via
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the internal battery.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: They also now have a rechargeable mag Safe charger. Rechargeable Safe,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: You're chargeable. You can just basically mag safe it to
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the back of your phone and it'll charge your phone
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: from the mag Safe right, So you can set it,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: set it down, you know, have it on your desk
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and just drop it on there while you're going or whatever.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So it's to be plugged in. It could just be
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it's you've charged your mag safe device, you take it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: with you and then you just connect them up and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it's gonna charge off of that.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna charge off of the mag Safe device.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: And it says that you can stretch up the air
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: can stretch up to forty hours when you're paired it
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: with the mag Safe the mag Safe charger.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It says the size is a thirty one hundred million
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: million battery all day twenty seven hours video playback. And
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: size who knows it's probably on like zero percent brightness.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, zeros, Yes, size in six inch screens six inch
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and that's on the air.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: What about the Pro the seventeen Pro Max, So.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: The I our own seventeen standard is a six point
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: three inch OLED display. Promotion one hundred and twenty hertz,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: and this is the ceramics shield. They're called tauting. This
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: ceramic shield too, whatever that is where they code it
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: with some sort of ceramic thing. Not thirty thousand, three
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: thousand nit peak brightness. Thirty thousand would be would be
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: blown your face off.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: The iPhone seventeen Pro is also the six point three inch,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: matching the size of the standard model super REDNA xdrled
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: promotion one hundred and twenty hertz hasn't always on display,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: and a massiveness of the same three thousand nit peak brightness,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: so they're all about the same size. So in terms
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: of screen size.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: We talked about AI, and there was word recently that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Apple was going to be looking at possibly what Google
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: is doing with its devices and maybe even integrating the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Gemini kind of overflow into Apple AI. Today even mentioned that,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: or the only.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Apple Intelligence mentioned was for the live translation.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: That's it, really, that's it. Well, so I kind of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that would be a letdown for a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: lot of people. That's one of the things about the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Google Pixel device is the AI capabilities on it have
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: been great. I don't get that with Siri, and if
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: they were able to take Siri and have that same
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: type of experience. And I think maybe some people who
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: have already been using you know, whether it be Samsung
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: or Google Pixel or whatever, and you're getting the UI
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the AI use out of that would be happy to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: come back to Apple in some cases if they were
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: able to, you know, up their game when it came
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to that. But maybe they don't think it's that much
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of an issue.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, like I said, the only AI
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: mantel for Apple Intelligence was part of the heart reymoditoring stuff,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: just because they've been using it to learn. They did
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a study of like some two hundred thousand Apple users
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: for one of the studies, and five million hours of
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: heart rate content. The AI can scrape and do all
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: this stuff with, right, But yeah, there was nothing Flagship
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: except for the translation he was using the Apple Intelligence.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: So there's nothing about chat GPT or any other app
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: integration with with AI.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking whether it's anthropic or you know, whether
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it's chat gptory. I mean, I have chat GPT as
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: an app on my phone, so I mean Sam can
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: have that on any device as well, so you could
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: always go third party. But I just wonder if Apple
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: would gain a little more market share if they were
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to do that. I think they'll still do well and
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: especially would this still would not be something to make
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you want to upgrade, upgrade from your thirteen.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Well, they did say at the end that anybody with
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a thirteen pro or higher can get a significant amount
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: of money at Apple towards an iPhone seventeen.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: No, that makes sense.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: So I think it was something like you get like
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: seven one hundred dollars for an iPhone thirteen. Wow, But
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I'll look that one up because I don't remember, but
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it was. I was it was kind of like a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, a significant amount of money towards an iPhone seventeen.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So they covered phones that covered you know, the AirPods.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Did they go anywhere when it came to max or
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: even tablets or that's completely.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: And then I was surprised because there was a there
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: was a really really big rumor because they they designed
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a new Uh, all of these phones have their new
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: motive in them, their new five G modem. They developed
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: their own five G modem. So even the watches that
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: have cellular are running their new five G modem. There
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: was a big rumor that they were developing a MacBook
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: with five G so that you could just have a
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: cell phone plan on your MacBook and that's all you needed.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: So and it would be designed around probably the A
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: nineteen pro chip also, so it'd be like a a MacBook.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Everybody's rumoring is gonna be called the MacBook or the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: MacBook light, right or because you can't call the air.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: But but it would be a MacBook five G MacBook. So,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: but I I was disappointed it wasn't anything besides like
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: wearably porpherials, watches, air pods, and the phones. But that
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: means we're going to get another Mac based keynote at
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: some point, right because we had the software one earlier
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: This is this is do those in October?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Like? But I mean, I mean, I don't know, but you.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Know, they could have they could have ended it alluding
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to something coming because during the holiday season, that's when
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you know, October you want to hit for Christmas. These
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Friday are going to be out in just days that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: they'll be available for people to purchase. Uh, and again
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that's uh, that's gonna be pretty big. I don't know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to take a look at it. I'm
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: very happy with the fourteen Pro Max that that was
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a great device.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm very happy with the with the thirteen Pro.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's it's It's done me really well. It does everything
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I needed to. You know, I don't have Apple intelligen
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: so I can't do some things. But right, because this
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: was the version, it's like the fourteen you can get
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Apple Intelligence.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: But really, I don't know, I just don't know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm running I'm still running the Developer beta
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and everything's been great. I mean, obviously the first couple
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of days were a little rough with the with the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: issues I had doing that, but other than that, it's
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: been great.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And I have a question though, whatever happened to the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: vision Apple Vision, whatever, whatever happened to the wearable?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: It's going the way of three D TV.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, nobody.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Wants to wear have a wearable to watch their content.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Sure it's immersive and it's cool, but how often is
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: it feasible? You're not doing it every time you're watching content, Right,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You're not watching it when you're watching content with your friends.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You're not doing it when you're watching content with your family.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: So you're watching all this content by yourself. With the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: wearable on and then you're limited to the that's available
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: for it because there's nobody creating the content because there's
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: nobody watching the content. So that's the same thing with
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: three DTV. Right Everybody got a super hyped because they
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: wanted to watch three D sports, but then they realized
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you had to wear the glasses and if people came
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: over to watch sports, because sports is social, everybody had
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: to wear three D glasses. But then if you sat
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: at the wrong viewing angle, it was crap. If you
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: stood up, people got sick because the motion. And then
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: if the TV wasn't set up right, then it just
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: went away. It was the hype. I mean, ESPN did
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: World Cup in three D or you know, and they
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: had to tune out all the vuvuzelas and like I mean,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: there was this whole thing surrounding like three D three D,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: three D, three D three D, and then it just
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: went by.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Bi Yeah, it was there and it was gone.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Stopped hearing about it. You know. I've had the question
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: in the past two about the Apple Watch. Can somebody
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: get an Apple Watch, maybe go into Verizon or motor
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Rope wherever. What if store they shot at and get
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a watch with phone service on it, a cellular service,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and not have to buy a brand new iPhone.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I believe you have to have it set up via
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: an iPhone. I don't know, right, because I know that,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: like I have my old watch still paired to my
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: phone and when I repaired it, it said set up
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: this watch for somebody else, right, But it's like, what
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: do I You still have to have an Apple ID
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: you still have to have the whole thing because it's
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: still gonna do I'm messaging and all that stuff. So
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I honestly don't know. But it's interesting
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: you're not buying an Apple watch if you don't have
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: an iPhone, Like that's just not something people are doing.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about the big Apple event. What did
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: they call it again? What was it? The awe dropping
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the odd dropping event?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Based on Justin's reaction that it was pretty minimal awe droppings.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: If you missed any of the event and you want
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to watch it Apple dot com, you go to the website,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: you'd be able to watch it there. We could take
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: a quick break. We got a couple of questions on
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the show as well, with more of Tech Talk Radio
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I'm Andy Taylor.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I'm Sean de Weird.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back. You can find us on the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: web at tech talk radio dot com.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Now back to tech talk Radio. Welcome back to tech
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: talk Radio. During the break, we had Justin join us
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: so he could poo poo all over the Apple event.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Guys, I have I had the most amazing nap today.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: It was like eleven am until like two pm my time.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: What happened during that time?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Apple had their big to do event. They're big, you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: oh awesome, draw dropping.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Gosh, darn, I missed it. I was taking a nap. Darn.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Was there anything you have heard though that made you say, oh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: that's cool?
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Not a single thing, honestly, I'm not even joking. Honestly.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I just everything that Apple does. I've said this over
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: and over. No, dude, everything that Apple does, Android or
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Samsung or whoever, they've done it before, and Apple's is like, oh,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: that sounds cool. Let's just take it and like put
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: a shiny new coat on it and call it ours.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Now, Okay, So they have this translation now going to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: be available in the air the AirPods, which I thought
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: was kind of cool, but as so you put it
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you put it, and I know I have an app
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Google Translated app that works, and I don't know if
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: it works the same way. But these are designs so
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that if somebody is talking to you, and you know
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: your wife Japanese, so if you're talking to somewhat of
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: her relatives, that you'd be able to understand what they're
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: saying and if they're wearing and they So it's built
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: into the the AirPod. Now that sounded pretty ground break.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Was this? Was this like something they announced today that
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: they were being okay? So, uh, three years ago, when
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I first started working at Highland Hills, the very first
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: thing I did was we had a trip scheduled to Japan,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: and I went to Japan and I brought along my
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: brand new pixel buds. I had just gotten the picks buds.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: It was like the first iteration of the pixel buds.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Guess what they had Live Translate. I could put a
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: pixel bud in. I could put a pixel bud in
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: my ear and I have my phone set on Google
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Translate and just do Live Translate, and I would just
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: set the phone on the table and the pixel buds
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: would repeat back to me in English what was being
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: said in Japanese around me. So yeah, that's.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Since twenty seventeen, three years ago.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: More.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Wow, have supported real time translations.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, breaking news, guys, Apple, Apple invented the
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: live translate.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Breaking Yeah, well we do. Justin might bring us down
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: to earth on that excitement. Sorry, it's okay, it's okay
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that that certainly happens.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I mean, I'll be the first person.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I'll be the first person to give Apple a congratulatory
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you know, rundo of applause if they actually invent something. Again,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: everything they do is been done five ten years ago,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: and they just put a shiny coat on it and says, oh,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: look what we invented. No, you did it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: So nothing yet that is going to make you say
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I said I got to get an Apple. Yeah, no,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: still stick with it. Now, are you getting the ten
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: for the Google Pixel? Because I know I have the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: nine and I wasn't sure if I wanted to update,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and I was telling Justin you, I was telling Sean
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you missed that. I went in and set up a
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: second business line and I'm using the iPhone I want
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and use the iPhone Pro Max that I have and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: doing that and the decision, and Glory even asked me,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: she said, well, do you want to go with the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Pixel ten? I'm thinking, I don't know if there's anything
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that made me say I really want to.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I normally skip a generation or two. I mean
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I did have the eight pro and then when the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: nine pro fold that's the foldable screen. When that came out,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I was like, I have to have this. So I
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: went against my you know, intuition in my past experiences,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: and I went ahead and I upgraded the very next generation.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Now do I want to have the ten?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Will my wife kill me if I get the ten? Also? Yes?
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: So not gonna get the ten.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: We were hoping to have Matt on because we know
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Matt ordered it, and Matt probably by now has it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Has he said anything to you about it?
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Like I haven't talked to him in a couple of days. No,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he actually has it or not.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: But if he does has it, does have it, I'm
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: assuming he would probably be reaching out to us and
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: saying that you know, hey, this is so cool, or
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: you know, oh this this sucks about this or whatever.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: But no, I mean, don't get me wrong, I would
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: like it. Now when Google releases a new phone. It's
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: kind of the same thing about Apple. There's not a
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: lot that they release when they come out with their
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: big releases of their flagship phones. It's not like, oh
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: my gosh, all this stuff is new. Google is kind
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: of known for just introducing features along the way and saying, oh, hey,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: by the way, we're gonna do live translate now, and
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: or or you know, hey, you can buy a pixel
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Watch and not have to have a brand new pixel
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: phone like Apple, so that, you know, answer your question earlier, Yeah,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: you can buy a pixel Watch and just get service
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: on it. You don't have to buy the phone with it. Okay,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: so that's kind of interesting. But no, I mean yeah,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I watched the the Google event and I was like, okay,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's cool, but there's not much else.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: And now I did see something on X. I saw
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: a post on X earlier. It was a guy in Chicago.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I think, what is it. What's that big concert that
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: goes on in Chicago every year la Lallapalooza. Yes, Lollapalooza.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: There was a guy who was I want to say,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: probably a mile and a half two miles away in
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: a big upper story condo me and he was filming
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: the Lollapalooza concert. Zoomed in all the way and it
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: said can Apple do this? And it was a pixel phone,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: it was a Pixel nine phone, and they zoomed in
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: almost I would say, probably at least a mile, if
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: not a mile and a half away, and it was
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: really I mean, yeah, obviously a little bit pixelated, but
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: it was you could make out what was going on,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: you could make out the crowd, and I was like, wow,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: that was amazing.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is pretty amazing. I will say that the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: camera optics on the Google Pixel are pretty amazing. It's
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: funny though, and I don't know if you've seen the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: meme on this. As we get older, the zoom feature
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: on the smartphone is super important because that's what we
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: used to read labels. Yep, it's true. I don't know
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: when when's the expiration date on this? I am constantly
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: going to the fridge taking a picture zooming in. You know, Okay,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: got to throw this thing away. You know, I should
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: probably do that more often. Actually, what I've been doing
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: is I just I look around him, like, where's my
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: nearest pair of reader glasses? Because I've got like seventeen
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: pairs around the house, like strategically placed.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Wherever I need him, right exactly, And I just grab
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: my reader glasses and do it. But yeah, no taking
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: a picture and then to zooming in on it, that
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: makes more sense.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, best way to get you to that, seun.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: No, oh that's right, you're young, all right.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: We did get a listener question, and I want to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: help this guy out, real cool guy. He actually called
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the station while I was on the air, and I
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: called him after I got off the air. So he's frustrated.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: He keeps getting pop ups from McAfee on his computer.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Been that way for a couple of weeks, he said,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and to the point where it's almost thirty a day
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: and it's asking for him to click and pay to
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: remove a virus on his system. So he doesn't want
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the program. So he said that he knows he has
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: seat cleaner and AVG on the system. So I kind
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of talked him through and when we went to the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: ad removed programs so he could get rid of McAfee.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: It's not even installed on his computer.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that's he's obviously got a piece of malware.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I reached back out to him after, you know,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: talking to you guys, and I told him, I said, well,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: if anything malware, but it could also be a browser extension.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: And there have been some reports lately on browser extensions
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: being abused and people getting you know, getting scamped by these. Yeah,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: so I'm wondering, can we what would be your best
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: exploited explanation for somebody who doesn't know what is a
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: browser extension.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: It's like a plug in for your browser. I can
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: add on it. Does they do certain things like you
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: can get them for ad block, you can get them
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: for paywall, you can get them for dark mode, you
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: can get him for all sorts of stuff. But browser
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: extensions are this generation's starch engines, search engine tabs, or
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: whatever you call. It's like when people would download the
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: search engine extension for your browser and you'd have a
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Yahoo want an excite wana? Oh yeah, you know, you'd
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: have four search bars at the top of your browser.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: So extensions are just kind of a new version of those.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I'd go that far behind it,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: but I see where you're going with it, and I
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: somewhat agree. But extensions consider multiple purposes. And the thing
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: about extensions, though, is you know, I don't know what
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: browser you're using, Firefox, Edge or Chrome. Most of these
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: extensions should be already vetted by the browser the company
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: that makes the browser, whether it be Google or Mozilla
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: or Microsoft. However, if you're getting extensions from random places
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: or going to a website and it's like, hey, this
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: website has an extension, do you want to install it?
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: And you click yes, you could very well be getting malware.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: And that's obviously what's going on here. You've got a
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: piece of malware that is pretending to act as an
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: antivirus and it's not, and you need to get rid
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: of that that malware.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: What is the best way to clear a kind of
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: an extension is actually just to go into your your management, right,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it's or or I recommend him getting malware bytes,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and there's a tool that malware bite has that that
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: can root out some of the evil extensions that are
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now, some of these, some of those malwares, I'm
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: not saying all of them, but some of those malwares,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: if you try to put on like malware bytes or
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: something after the fact, it can actually interrupt the installation
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: and prevent the installation from happening. So you got to
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: be careful about because so if you have a sophisticated
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: piece of malware, which likely what you got is probably not.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: It's one of those just simple, you know scams where
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: you're gonna call somebody and andkay, we'll remove this malware
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: for a fee of you know, one hundred dollars, and
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: then they're actually just going to get in and steal
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: your money. So I would obviously not call the phone number.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: I would not do anything with that. I would try to,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: like Andy said, get malware bytes or something like that.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: You can even if you have a friend that is
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: good with computers, you could even have them install on
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: a safe, brand new you know, flash drive malware bytes
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: so that it could be installed and bypass the actual
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: you know, downloading, which can then redirect. So you've got
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: to be careful about that, and careful about some of
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: the websites you're going to if you're going through this,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: because those websites could be redirected by whatever malware is
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: sitting in your browser. Extension extensions could be handy. I
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: mean I use one pass.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: It's great to be able to you want to pull
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: up your password, you could open open up your browser
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: extension and do it that way, you know, and grab
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: that and always have access to that. So yeah, that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: could be. That could be a little challenging. And he's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: noticing it and he's not clicking on it, and that's
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: what you never want to do. So that's that's a
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: good thing. So hopefully Dick is a guy's name. It
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: lives out here in Green Valley, So hopefully this will
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: will help them. And I told him to let me
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: know what the next step is for him. We had
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: another one from Nancy, but we're actually out of the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: almost out of times.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I was just gonna say something else, a totally
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: another story here. Yeah, let's go for it. It's a
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: little bit technology related. But as of this recording, today,
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos announced they're building a brand new stadium
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: that's going to be top of the line. It's gonna
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: be every top technology everywhere. It's going to make Sofi Stadium,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: which is the most technology technologically advanced stadium. It's going
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: to make it look like abandoned warehouse.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Now, this is what is the one in Vegas, right.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: No, Sofi is the one in Los Angeles.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: In La Okay, Vegas.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: They just built No, no, no, and no, that's that's
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: for the A's. Yes, the one that's built for the
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Raiders is an allegiant stadium.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So this new one in Denver is
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: going to be. Now where is it going to be.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be just right across the street from the
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: current one mile. They bought a big, massive facility called
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Burnham Yard, which is an old, old, old train station
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: rail line. It's actually older. Burnham Yard is older than
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Denver itself. And so that rail yard is now going
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: to be repurposed into not only just a stadium, but
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: an incomplete district. It's going to have housing, it's going
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: to have restaurants, it's going to have entertainment. It's going
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: to have and the stadium all by the way, is
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: going to be retractable roof. So then we can have
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: a Super Bowl, we can have the Final Four, we
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: can have WWE, WrestleMania, we can have all kinds of
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: other stuff that can happen year around and make Denver
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: once again an entertainment destination, not just oky let's go
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: to the mountains and go skiing. But this venue is
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: going to have amazing technology behind it. And honestly, you
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: got to look at is if you don't know who
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: owns the Denver broncos it is the richest owners in
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: NFL history. It is the Walter Penne Group. Now Walton
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: who Walton, Sam Walton, the owner of Walmart. It's her,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: It's his daughter who's married to Greg Penner, and they
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: are the richest owners. I think it's a net worth
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: of eighty seven billion dollars.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: This chunk a change, yeah.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: And there there's this stadium is estimated to be between
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: four and six billion dollars.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Amazing. All right, we'll come back. We'll take Nancy's question
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: with more of tech Talk Radio.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird, and I'm justin.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Let me send us an X at tech talk Radio.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back and now back to tech Talk Radio.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: And in this week, in the latest episode of the
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Internet Never Loses. So a couple what was it last week?
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Last week there was a Marlin's Phillies baseball game, and
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: there was a wholesome moment where a dad, a dad
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: caught a foul ball and gave it to his son
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: and was hugging his son. And it was kind of
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: a cool father son moment. And then Karen, which I
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: think that's her name, we're just gonna call her. Karen
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: walks over to the guy and demands the ball and
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: says that that's my ball, and the father's like, what
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: are you talking about? It didn't it didn't you didn't
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: have it. It wasn't yours. It came from the field.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: And she got right in his face.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: She got right in his face, yelling and screaming at him,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: and he was like, you know what, fine, just take
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: the ball, take the ball and leave. Go, go go.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: And so she got the ball and she walked away
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: all happy that the.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Little boys to celebrating his tenth birthday.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, look on his face, yeah, he was so he
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: was so deflated about it. Well it ends in a
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: good story though, because after that happened the Marlins, even
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: though he was a Phillies fan, the Marlins actually went
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: up to there and gave him a goodie bag and
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: gave him forgot about that. Yeah, he gave him a
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: goodie bag of all kinds of Marlins gear and everything.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: And then after the game he got to go backstage
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: or behind the scenes in the player's tunnel and meet
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Harrison Bader, the guy that hit the home run that
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: the kid would have had, and he gave him a
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: signed bat, a batch better than the ball. Yeah, totally.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: And and but here's the the best part about this.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Though the Internet never loses, the Internet has went after
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: this woman tried to figure her name out. I think
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: they actually did figure her name out, but I don't
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: know it, and we're not gonna say it on air here,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: But all of the memes that have been going out
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: over this, it is so hilarious. Like, for one, they
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: released a picture of a spirit Halloween costume and it
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: was called Baseball Karen and it was literally a Karen
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: haircut with glasses and a Phillies a shirt and a
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: pair of ripped jeans and it says, ball not included.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: You can't tell me we're not going to see a
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: kid come into the house on Halloween dressed in that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I would love to see that, to be honest, I
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: would get I'd probably give them all my candy.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: And then and then also somebody actually redid the the
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: cover of Angels in the Outfield, a movie from Disney,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: and put Karen's in the outfield and put her picture
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: on it, and then I see another picture of Charlie
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: and what was that.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Willy Way the original Willy.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Walker when when Charlie pulls out the golden ticket and
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: he's looking at it, somebody superimposed an image of the
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: lady tapping him on the shoulders saying, give me back
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: that golden ticket. Trouble, you took it from me.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I saw another one with they, uh, you know, dogs
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: play frisbee, you know, coster frisbee and the dogs will
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: catch it, and it was her catching a frisbee and
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the dog jumping in the air next room with this
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: surprised look on his face. Yep, it's just like you said.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: The Internet doesn't give up, and people have been really
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: creative and some of these memes, the AI that they've
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: created with this has been like, wait, did that really happen?
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Wait?
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: What the heck is that?
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: It's yeah, this is this is crazy, but there's so
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: much it's so it's so entertaining. The Internet just never loses.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I saw a basically uh an AI reenactment of it.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Somebody posted the video to AI and said and said,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: I want you to redo this in the style of
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings and so it showed the lady
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: taking the ball from the guy, and then the camera
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: artificially zooms in on her face as she's walking back
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: to her seat, and the lady transforms into Gollum yes,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: and then takes the ball and looks at it and says,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: my precious.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing though, all right, and I'm gonna
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: say it, maybe I'll get some hate, but it did
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: look like the ball was right where she was.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: It landed the roque.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: It's called the spirit of baseball, right. Everybody knows if
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: there's empty seats and a file ball comes, you're running
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: over to try and get it right. Just every time
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: a baseball goes into the stands, you have to expect it.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Everybody's going for it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. She claims that she owned those
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: seats in front of her, even though nobody was sitting there.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: She said, those were my seats. That's what she said,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Those were my seats. Tough bleep, yeah exactly, Like I'm
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: sorry nobody was sitting there. I don't care if you
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: owned the whole stadium, like tough, the ball is there,
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: nobody's there. It's it's first come, first served. But but
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: the thing is is everybody's talking about this father, the
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: one that got the ball for his son, and they're
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: saying that took the.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Ball out of his glove. Yeah, well I took He
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: took the ball out of the glove and he handed
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: it back to the lady and was like, get out
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of here.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: They're all saying the same thing. They're saying, the guy
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: handled it. Well, the guy handled it with clasped, with dignity.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: He taught his son a lesson about how to just
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: you know, deal with situations that arise like this and
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: how to remain calm. And all I could keep thinking
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: was I would not be handling it the same way.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: No way, man, I would not.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: God love this guy, but I will getting in that
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: lady's face.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: You run up to me, put your hands on me,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: and start yelling at me. Oh yeah, oh that's a problem.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is exactly what.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: We're gonna fight. We're gonna fight.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I almost think she grabbed his arm.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, she grabbed his arm and kind of
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: pulled him over, and that's why he was like what
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: what what? And he kind of like because he had
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: his eyes closed and he woke up and he's like, well, whoa,
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: what's going on? Because he was surprised, because who's grabbing
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: my arm and pulling me away? Like she didn't get
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: cold cocked? Oh, I mean that's what I was just
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: about to say. I was like, if that was me
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: and somebody pulled on my arm like that, I'd be like, bam,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: oh sorry.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Imagine though, this little ten year old, even though that
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: he was bummed out for for a bit, he's gotten
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: much better than he would have got. I mean, the
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: ball would be one cool thing, you know, but now
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: he's got a bad he's got you got a chance
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: to meet his favorite players.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Off the spirit of baseball, right, It's like these things
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: happen and to get the fans engaged. These are little
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: things that help people remember the sport.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so ask you how long will it take the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Internet to leave her alone?
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: It was just, oh, they won't do every meme. It's
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: she's canceled like literally hashtag it's gonna be.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: It's gonna it's gonna be a Phillies meme for the
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: rest of the Phillies existence.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even at the end of the year. Easily easily.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I tell the other, the other the one that maybe
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: kind of laugh was the the cold Play the guy
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: who was at the cold Play concert that was obviously
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: not doing what he should be doing, right, and he
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: was hugging somebody that worked for him and they just
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: looked too clot something or other. Yeah, they put they
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: put her in his arms.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: In the Seriously, I gotta find that one.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: There's got to be a page dedicated to these beams.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: You know, something happens the next thing, you know, it's
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: just like again it does not forget a very good
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: point on that. All right, let's see if we get
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: to if we get to Nancy's question really quick that
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: she had, it.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Better be about baseball. Nancy.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: It's not sorry, Nancy's in an old stomping ground, a
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: ranchom arg She said. Help. You've mentioned in the past shows,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and now I finally decided to take my music off
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: my CDs. Is there a way to do this that
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I could do myself?
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Built in built in really.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: When just the built in media player just rip click rip.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if she's running Mac or Windows,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: but it's say, if she's running Windows.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Is there is the real question is does your computer
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: have a CD drive?
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, forgot about that point?
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Is it. Is it a laptop? Is it a desktop? Right?
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: You can get portable USB CD drives. They're not. They're
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: relatively inexpensive the Mac. The Mac super Drive will work
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: on a PC if you have a Mac super Drive.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean you're looking at maybe spending thirty
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: forty bucks on a USB CD drive that you can
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: just pop.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: It makes one too pop in the.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Disc you open up the media player. I'd have to
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: look at it specifically. But that's how I did it.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: It's how I ripped allmine. I have a tower on
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: the back with a CD drive in it. Dropped it
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: in Rip hit rip. It takes six seven minutes to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: rip it out. It's connected to the internet. It'll pull
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: down album information for you and everything you get. Rip go,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: rip go, rip go.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: No, I want to. I do want to recommend, though,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: if anybody is going to be doing this, not only
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: save it on your your drive. You could save it
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: to cloud if you have the cloud storage to do that.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Drive it or get it.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean I guess you could, but or
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: get a one TERRORBYT or two terrorbyte drive or even higher,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: depending on how many songs or how many CDs you have,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: and you could do that as well and be able
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: to save that so that we always have a redundant copy,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: because nothing worse than doing all that work and then
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: something happening to your computer and losing the hard drive
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: and you lose all of those images or those the
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: the audio.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Windows Media Player, well rip so if Windows eleven, uh,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Windows Windows Media Player VLC, you can also rip them
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: from VLC.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Oh. VLC is great. I've actually I had all these
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: old flash videos, you know, shockwave Flash, and I was like, well,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: how am I ever going to look at these again?
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: And then somebody said, well, wait, just use VLC. I
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: had no idea VLC. Well, Bobby does it. I know that,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: but you got to pay for that VLC, don't.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Vlc's the Swiss Army Nets, the Swiss Army Knife of
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: the Internet, and that's what they call it. It'll play
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: literally almost every video or audio FI you can think
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: of that exists.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I want to say again some time here, I've been
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: delving deeper into Riverside FM, and I got to just say,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: that's the program we use. It's not an FM radio station.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Riverside FM is what we're using for the video production
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of the show. We used to use well, we've used
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: many over the years, but recently we were using Skype,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: and then we use Zoom, and then we would take
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Zoom and we'd put it into Opus clips and we
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: would pay a lot for zoom in low quality. And
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: we're not even talking you know standard.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Don't like three sixty p.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: It was awful. It was like an old webcam and
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: how people would take videos of this and then we
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: would pay, you know, a fee per month to opis.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: We found Riverside does all of it, does editing, does
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: the whole bit. But recently we had a situation and
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: where on the show, and I got to figure out
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: way I could post this. Uh, you guys, Amanda has
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: been on the show. I cent her the video on it.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: We've been. She's been trying to get me to watch
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: that new show you guys were talking about a few
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, the one the musical that is on Netflix
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: that everybody's talking about. Yeah, I still I still haven't
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: seen it yet. Right. She every day is asked me,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: have you seen it yet? Have you seen it yet?
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: So I said this with her. We did a show
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: and I remember, Sean, you were in the back of
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: the room. Uh, and we started the show and you
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: had to run back to the microphone. And during that
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: she started laughing. We were all laughing, and she said,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: you know, at least I didn't and she used an expletive,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: we can't say here, mess it up or she said,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: didn't do that this time, and it was like, okay,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: we just started from scratch. Well I still had that clip,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: so I put it in the Riverside FM and I
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: took that bad word that she said that we can't
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: repeat here, and I changed it to mess it. Ai
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: took her voice, recreated it and replaced that word with
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: the word mess and completely fixed it up.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I tried it again on justin you said one a
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: few weeks back, did the same thing. Yeah, completely cleaned
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: it up and it was you can't even tell.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I want to see that.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Riverside FM is is pretty amazing. And he will
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: even clean up audio. So if you're doing audio, do transcriptions,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: you can do it. I can do a teller prompter
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: on it. I mean the whole bit. So if you're
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: looking for a program to use for doing any kind
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: of podcasting or video, it can work for you.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: That sounds it's awesome. Hey, remember, uh, you know, I
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: bought this the camera that I'm using right now this
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: He asked me, what are you using? So it's the
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Sony A seven Mark four. I bought it last well,
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: actually no, I bought it earlier this year. It is
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: probably like April.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Or something like that.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: M hm, no, no, I'm sorry, No, I bought it
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: last last last anyway, yeah, last year. Yeah, I did
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: great camera. It's a really nice mirrorless full frame camera.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: Got an extra lens on eBay that was really nice
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: for it. Anyway, during that process, I registered the camera
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: with Sony because you know, they're like, hey, extra warranty
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: register you get a Sweepsteaks. Well I won a five
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars gift card and I was like, wow, this
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: is crazy. So I actually used it. I don't remember
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: what I bought with it, but I bought some stuff. Anyway,
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Come fast forward to early July. I get another email
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: from Sony Sweepstak saying, hey, you just want a gift card,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: a five hundred dollar gift card, and I'm like, wait,
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: what can I win?
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Twice?
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: So I responded back and said yeah, I'll take it,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: and they're like, okay, cool. Allow six to eight weeks.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: So what do you give with the five hundred dollars.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Well, this five hundred dollars, I actually just bought a
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: new piece of tech and it's actually going to be
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: here tomorrow. I bought a new three D printer.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, but now, what happened to your last one?
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean I still have it, but it's old.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: I mean it's like the one I had was an
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Ender three. It was kind of probably second generation of
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: three D printers. I mean it was, you know, no
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: no auto bed leveling, which is a big thing, only
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: one piece of filament per I had to upgrade the
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: crap out of it just to be able to make
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: it work right, right, Anyway, this new one is much better.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: It's not quite as big as the end of three,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: but it does automatic bed leveling, which again is very
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: very important. If you want your three D print to
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: turn out proper, the bed that it rests upon has
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: to be one level at all times, and so this
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: will automatically do it for you, and so that's nice. Also,
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: it's completely enclosed with its own filtration system, so I
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: can do not only just PLA printing, which is kind
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: of the weaker more hobbyist quality of filament. I can
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: do ABS, which is more industrial strength. If I want
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: to put some really good quality builds out there, I
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: can use ABS, and I can use it in an
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: enclosed space without having to worry about filtration.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Wow. Pretty good stuff. So if you decided what's gonna
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: be your first project.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Uh, well, my first project is to figure out where
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna put it. Because my old computer desk that
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: I had had a nice little side area that I
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: could have my three D printer on. But now with
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: this new layout, I don't have anywhere that I can
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: put a three D printer. So I am just not
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: sure what I'm gonna do with it. But my first
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: print in the bedroom yeah yeah, right, well the right
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: in the kitchen table. Yeah, mice is gonna love that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: What I used to do.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, So I think my first print that I'm
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: gonna do, I think I'm gonna do probably some more
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: like towel hangers, or like a doorstop for the house,
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: because I got a bunch of doors in the house
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: that we like to keep the windows open and the
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: door's automatically shut because of the windflow. So having some
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: more doorstops would be nice.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: But then I want to.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Use it for just random random things I find on
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: thing of verse and three D printable printables dot Com
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: is another website. So yeah, I'm excited.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Or we'll have to talk more about that next week
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: The benefit is that somebody else has already designed it right,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: so you don't have design it like the That's that's
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: the beauty of the Internet. You can just search for
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: it cool, download the download the s A or whatever,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: the sl T, s TL, STL, yep, put it, put
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: it in the slicer, print.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: Yep, exactly, and and and I don't have to worry
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: about design, like you said, but if I want to,
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: I might start dabbling an auto fusion or something like that.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, all right, we're gonna take another quick great week,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: come back with more of tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor,

  Speaker 3: Every week, Andy's always asking us, you guys got a
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: website of the week, A website of the week, website, website, website, website, website,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I Browns the same, like ten websites like every single day.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: I don't go and scour the internet like Andy does. No,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: but I did. I actually came across a website that
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: I wanted to share with you all. And if you
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: are old school video gamers, I'm talking like Dossor or
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Windows ninety five or Windows ninety eight, there's a website
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: that has digitally recreated the boxes for all of these
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: video games that came out I think right now, as
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: of now, he's got over one thousand boxes filling up
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: his quote unquote nerd wall into shiny three D. So
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: if you go to a website called Big Box Collection
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: dot com again, it's Big Boxcollection dot com. These games
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: back in the day, back in Windows ninety five, Windows
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: ninety eight, they came out in these like basically like
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: dictionary sized boxes. That's huge. They were huge. I mean
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: they were like, yeah, like dictionaries. So what he's done
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: is he's taken all of these old video games and
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: digitally scan them, and you can actually move the box
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: around and if it has like one of those opening
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: cover flaps, you can actually open the cover flap and
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: look at it. But he has scanned everything, not just
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: the front and back, but it is a full three
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: D rendering of all like over a thousand different classic
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: games like Privateer. My God, there's Hecks, There's Diablo, Wizard Warriors,
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: the original Doom.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite? Did you have a favorite box?
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: I'd have to say, well, Diablo. Diablo two was really
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: really cool, I'd have to say otherwise, besides that grand
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: Theft out of Vice City for me was this different
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: because it had all these cartoon looking characters on the
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: front of it, but it was just such an unimposing box.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: But when you actually played the game, you're like, oh,
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: my god.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: To of mine, to of mine, need for speed And
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: then I even put this on my wall at the
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: station that I worked at, Redneck Rampage. Oh oh yeah,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: I just absolutely loved that one.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: They even have the original Zork like Zork, which was
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Did you have.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Favor Diablo too? The Diablo, the Diablo series books boxes
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: are really cool. I mean I still have my Diablo
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: two boxes.
