• 0:21
  Edison successfully tested a practical incandescent
• 0:25
  light bulb that glowed steadily using a carbon
• 0:28
  filament and improved vacuum conditions. This
• 0:32
  achievement marked a major milestone in electric
• 0:34
  illumination, inspiring broad development of
• 0:38
  electric lighting systems and practical applications
• 0:41
  that transformed homes and industry. So now you
• 0:45
  know. And now, it's time for the weather report.

• 1:01
  will take place at 550 and it will rise again
• 1:04

  Tuesday will be at 11 .45, with the low tide

  So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.
• 2:49
  Sunny mornings send you. In local news, this
• 2:54
  has Saturday on Boston Common, thousands gathered
• 2:58
  for the No Kings protest, a massive peaceful
• 3:01
  demonstration. Drone and helicopter footage captured
• 3:05
  the crowds, while local stations covered the
• 3:08
  event live with thousands of photos taken and
• 3:11
  shared. However, within hours, social media erupted
• 3:15
  with false claims that MSNBC had aired recycled
• 3:19
  footage from 2017. This misinformation spread
• 3:24
  rapidly, fueled by an AI tool called Croc, which
• 3:28
  mistakenly misidentified the protest. Although
• 3:32
  PBC Verify later confirmed the footage's authenticity,
• 3:36
  the swift spread of disinformation highlights
• 3:38
  our tendency to believe technology over reality.
• 3:42
  So, before sharing, consider were you there,
• 3:45
  or are you just trusting a machine? Now onto
• 3:53
  sports. The Toronto Blue Jays are heading to
• 3:57
  their first World Series since 1993, powered
• 4:01
  by George Springer's go -ahead three -run homer
• 4:04
  in Monday's 4 -3 victory over the Seattle Mariners
• 4:08
  in Game 7 of the American League Championship
• 4:11
  Series. World Series Game 1 will take place on
• 4:14
  Friday at 8 p .m. Eastern Time. Springer's 7
• 4:19
  -dinning blast set off a frenzied celebration
• 4:21
  at Rogers Center. Toronto now advances to face
• 4:25
  the Los Angeles Dodgers after overcoming a challenging
• 4:29
  series. And in football, the Lions remain competitive
• 4:33
  in the National Football League's toughest division,
• 4:36
  following a decisive victory over the Tampa Bay
• 4:39
  Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield struggled against
• 4:42
  Detroit, completing just 228 yards with an interception
• 4:47
  in a 24 -9 loss. With this win, the Lions improved
• 4:52
  their record to five wins and two losses, sitting
• 4:55
  in second place in the National Football Conference
• 4:58
  North Division, trailing the Green Bay Packers
• 5:00
  by mere percentage points. The Division has seen
• 5:04
  a remarkable 16 victories so far, with no team
• 5:07
  below a 500 record. Detroit's continuity and
• 5:12
  offensive strength make them a formidable contender
• 5:15
  this season. In local sports, the Celtic star
• 5:20
  Jalen Brown provided an update on his hamstring
• 5:24
  injury. Brown said he wasn't too concerned when
• 5:27
  the injury occurred. He practiced fully on Monday
• 5:31
  and stated he feels great after tweaking his
• 5:34
  hamstring during the preseason finale against
• 5:36
  the Raptors. When asked about playing in the
• 5:39
  regular season opener against the 76ers this
• 5:43
  coming Wednesday, Brown said, we'll see. His
• 5:47
  departure from the Toronto game seemed to be
• 5:49
  a precautionary measure. Brown appeared to be
• 5:53
  moving well after practice and mentioned he is
• 5:55
  taking it one day at a time. In top news, gone
• 6:01
  in seven minutes is how the Lou Heist unfolded.
• 6:06
  France's crown jewels are missing, stolen from
• 6:08
  the world's largest museum in a plot straight
• 6:11
  out of a film script. It took less than seven
• 6:14
  minutes to pull off one of the world's most spectacular
• 6:18
  heists. A gang of brazen burglars targeted the
• 6:22
  Louvre in broad daylight and fled with priceless
• 6:25
  jewels. The theft occurred shortly after the
• 6:28
  museum opened on the first weekend of the All
• 6:31
  Saints Day holiday. Alarms were triggered. but
• 6:34
  the thieves managed to steal eight items of priceless
• 6:37
  heritage value. Investigation efforts are underway,
• 6:42
  with about 60 investigators involved. The Minister
• 6:46
  of Culture stated that organized crime appears
• 6:49
  to be involved. In business news, Wall Street
• 6:54
  is starting to get a little defensive as utilities,
• 6:58
  health care stocks, and consumer staples lead
• 7:01
  the S &P 500 this month. These sectors tend to
• 7:05
  perform well regardless of economic conditions,
• 7:08
  with electricity, drugs, and groceries always
• 7:11
  in demand. However, investors are pulling back
• 7:15
  from more sensitive sectors, like regional banks
• 7:18
  and airlines, raising concerns about potential
• 7:20
  weaknesses. The recent market turbulence, fueled
• 7:24
  by trade war rhetoric, has investors worried,
• 7:27
  while major stock indexes remain close to record
• 7:30
  highs. Analysts expect strong corporate earnings
• 7:34
  growth, but caution that a sluggish labor market
• 7:37
  may impact consumer spending. In crypto movement,
• 7:42
  Bitcoin is down 3 % to $108 ,000. Ethereum is
• 7:48
  down 4 % to just under $3 ,900. And HexRP is
• 7:54
  down 1 % to $2 .43. Moving on to a more local
• 8:01
  vibe. In our community spotlight on health and
• 8:05

  Morning sent you by. And now back to the show.

  Let's talk tech. Your browser sends a lot of
• 8:50
  information with each website you visit, which

  can be used to track you across the internet.
• 8:56
  You are constantly leaving your fingerprint all
• 8:59
  over the internet with personal information you
• 9:01
  share voluntarily and involuntarily. Most targeted
• 9:06
  advertising uses fingerprinting instead of cookies,
• 9:09
  allowing advertisers to track your behavior online
• 9:12
  without needing unique identifiers. There are
• 9:16
  no laws banning browser fingerprinting, but companies
• 9:19
  must comply with privacy regulations if they
• 9:22
  create unique identifiers. To enhance privacy,
• 9:26
  consider using browsers like Brave or Firefox,

  which offer fingerprinting protections. And in
• 9:35
  entertainment news, many of this year's busiest
• 9:39
  films are struggling to profit at the box office.
• 9:43
  For instance, The Smashing Machine experienced
• 9:45
  a 70 % decline in its second weekend, generating
• 9:49
  $18 .8 million. Similarly, Roof Men debuted with
• 9:55
  only $8 million. Box office analyst Sean Robbins
• 10:00
  notes that these prestige -type films have not
• 10:03
  created enough excitement. Warner Bros. spent
• 10:07
  over $130 million on one battle after another,
• 10:12
  which is projected to lose $100 million. Despite
• 10:17
  the challenges, Analyst Hope Studios will continue
• 10:20
  producing varied films to boost attendance. Well,
• 10:25
  alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the
• 10:28
  day. And today, our quote comes from the American
• 10:32
  author and philosopher, Will Durant. And he said,
• 10:38
  And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
