Latest / TechtalkRadio / Episode 405 - Getting Rid of the Bloat!
Transcript
- 0:00The following program is produced by the Tech Talk Radio Network. Hi, this
- 0:03is a colin Macria. Whose line is it anyway you're listening to tech talk
- 0:06radio. I don't know how it works. It's all magical stuff for me.
- 0:12Welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor. I'm
- 0:17there is a lot of stuff going on in tech And it was kind of
- 0:20funny because last week we ran a show that was and did you catch this
- 0:25show? So we ran a show it was. We called it our Lost
- 0:29Show because it was a show that aired, but it's a show that never
- 0:33ever got put up onto the world Wide Web. Normal normally what happens is
- 0:37we'll do our show and we put it up onto the web and then people
- 0:40all over the world can listen to it if they're not listening to it live
- 0:43on the radio station that we're on, KGVY. We never did that,
- 0:46and it was it was at the time where I was building two computers for
- 0:50a client and I just never got around to doing it. So we called
- 0:54it the Lost Show. And once I got it posted, I looked at
- 0:57it and I thought, oh, that's bizarre. Pisode four oh four,
- 1:00which which is a lost sub page lost web page basically doesn't exist, so
- 1:06like it was good timing. I didn't plan it that way, although it
- 1:08made it look like I did, so that was kind of cool. But
- 1:11yeah, that's a show marketing. I'm trying to decide if we should start
- 1:15doing that with some of our older shows, just once in a while,
- 1:18pop them up, just the stuff that's never ever streamed before. The content
- 1:23is still relevant. It's yeah, it might some of them might be dated,
- 1:26but wouldn't hurt to do older shows. It's kind of be fun to
- 1:29listen to a show that aired fifteen or sixteen years ago. Yeah, once
- 1:32in a while, I'll Papa, I have cassette tapes and I have digital
- 1:36an I'll popa cassette tape in that we've never encoded, and we're talking about
- 1:40like Windows XP problems, Windows ninety eight issues, And it's kind of cool
- 1:47because you hear some of the stuff you're going through, and it's fun because
- 1:49you kind of second guessing, Oh, yeah, I would have done this
- 1:53or I would have done that, So what have you been doing. I
- 1:56was in Tallahassee, Florida for three days this week last week, so you
- 2:00really didn't go there? I thought maybe you just said you were going there
- 2:04because of that really embarrassing picture that that you posted of you in a BUCkies
- 2:10outfit. Oh yeah, so I should have wore that and said I'm wearing
- 2:16the ootie that I got Cala the Harry potteraty. My mom. So while
- 2:23while I traveled, my mom stayed with Kaylen and Max to help, just
- 2:24help with the kids and stuff. And my mom got me an adult sized
- 2:29onesie and it is amazing. Andy will put it on the blog. It's
- 2:35fantastic. So she surprised her that my mom is obsessed with BUCkies. So
- 2:40my mom travels to Texas quite a bit for work. So whenever she travels
- 2:45down there, she she got Max, like four Bucky shirts, some Bucky
- 2:49play toys for outside, she got she got the whole shebang for him.
- 2:53I can't wait for them to open the one in Arizona, which probably not
- 2:57gonna be till next year sometime, but still that's gonna be I think one.
- 3:00I think the one closest to us is gonna be Louisville, and that's
- 3:01like eight hour drive from here, so I'm not driving that far just to
- 3:05go to a Bucke's. But yeah, it's something to experience. All right,
- 3:08So you went to why did you have to go to Tallahassee. So
- 3:13part of my job duties is, right, we do a lot of work
- 3:16for ESPN and the a SEC network. So every year they do a conference
- 3:23for the schools that are involved with the ACC Network School Controller Program. So
- 3:28that's the schools that produce direct content that airs on AC network, ESPN,
- 3:32ESPN two, ESPDU all stuff. So part of my role is to help
- 3:39liaise the engineering side of the things to the production side. So there were
- 3:45four other production members from Athletics that went, and then I was the engineering
- 3:51person for our treak. So they send you down to Tallahassee, Florida the
- 3:54most humid time of the year, ninety seven degrees for three days, three
- 3:59days, and and how huett did it feel it? You walked outside and
- 4:03you were immediately wet. Yeah, it was just it was so thick,
- 4:08and then it stormed really well, and then it was even more. He
- 4:11was like one hundred and twenty percent humidity at that point. Oh. Many,
- 4:15We got sent to for a morning they called a morning show boot camps.
- 4:18And when you did morning radio, they would do this get together every
- 4:23year. They're doing it again in August and this time in San Diego.
- 4:26And a couple of years they had it in New Orleans and I had never
- 4:30experienced the South like New Orleans. And I remember that first night stepping out
- 4:35onto the balcony of where we're having we're having a big kind of get together.
- 4:41It was like right away, like you drenched. Oh it's the community.
- 4:45It's like it's you can feel how thick the air is. It's crazy.
- 4:47Yeah, So I do have a tech related delay that we had in
- 4:53our travels. Oh so we flew from South Bend to Charlotte, Charlotte's Talassie.
- 4:58Our flight from South Bend to Charlotte, no problem. We got on
- 5:00the plane in Charlotte to fly to Tel Hassee. They ended up like getting
- 5:05a flat tire on the plane so they couldn't push respec. Oh we have
- 5:09to deplane. So then they put us on a new planet, like one
- 5:13gate over. And then they're sitting there and we're sitting there. We're sitting
- 5:16there and they're like, oh, sorry, guys, Like we moved all
- 5:19the bags over, but the the software that we have to use to weigh
- 5:27the plane, like they'll do all the calculations for the plane, the fuel,
- 5:29the weight and all that stuff right the server. The servers aren't responding
- 5:32and they're there there. That's it's it's United Wide, oh Man or whatever
- 5:39whoever's flew American or wherever's flu So they couldn't do any of the calculations for
- 5:43like weight ratio and all that stuff. So that's kind of partant. Yeah,
- 5:47of course, so we sta have like forty five minutes until whatever servers
- 5:53they were trying to get to were working. So we were delayed quite a
- 5:56bit getting down there. By the way back, we were fine because we
- 6:00flew you know, American Airlines on the way down and Delta Airlines on the
- 6:04way back. Right. Cool fun fact about Delta is their I don't have
- 6:11it down here with me, but you can ask the pilots for trading cards.
- 6:15Oh yeah, I had heard about that. Yeah, I had heard
- 6:17about it on Reddit and I follow a bunch of airlineshere. It's because it's
- 6:23like planes and stuff. You can ask the pilots or stewardesses for trading cards
- 6:29and it's usually just quick, like a little hologram card that has facts about
- 6:32the airline drought. So we are on a seven forty seven. It's it's
- 6:35a pretty cool card. But I learned that if there's a service dog that
- 6:41is working on a plane for a customer, you can ask the handler of
- 6:44the service dog and you will get a trading card from the service dog.
- 6:48Oh are you kidding me? Oh? That's cool. I don't know how
- 6:53many you can collect. I'd have to also look it up, but it
- 6:56I was able to pop my head into the cockpit and ask them for a
- 7:00training card, which is pretty cool, and they gave you one. Now
- 7:01is it the pilot on it or just the airplane? It just says the
- 7:04airplane, simipoort, it says the model of the airplane, like some facts
- 7:08about the airplane stuff. I don't know if you've ever done this, if
- 7:11you did a lot of traveling when you were a kid. There is if
- 7:14you go to a flight is it a flight radar? I think you can
- 7:17actually, or even on the web, you can type in the tail number
- 7:23of an airplane that maybe you flew in, whether it be a commercial or
- 7:27even a private, whether it be a Cessna or a Bonanza. You can
- 7:31type that in and you can find out where that plane is today. Okay,
- 7:34so I'm gonna rattle. There are so many cool little websites like this
- 7:39that track airplanes so that you have flight aware, right, you have live
- 7:44atc dot net so you can dial into any like I pulled it up while
- 7:48we were waiting, and you can hear all the traffic air traffic control stuff
- 7:53happening at the Tallahassee Airport or the Charlotte Airport. It's all live broadcasts through
- 7:58live. And then there's eighty SP Exchange. We've talked about this before on
- 8:01the show. Oh yeah. ADSP Exchange is the ADSP is the transponder that
- 8:07pinpoints airplanes, so it's like they're trans the beacon that's on the plane.
- 8:11That so you can look in real time. Go to adsp exchange dot com
- 8:18and look at it, and you will it'll blow your mind how many airplanes
- 8:22there are in the sky, right, especially ones that are above you too.
- 8:26It's like, yeah, so if you pull it up on your phone
- 8:28while you're walking, like off for a walk, like here in Granger,
- 8:31there's not that many airplanes, right, but like Max, will hear an
- 8:35airplane or see an airplane like whatever, I'll pull it up and sure not
- 8:39there's an airplane like just a couple miles north of west of something. But
- 8:43yeah, ADSP exchange is really cool for that too. So there's a bunch
- 8:46of those cool flight tracking I was on the end. I was on the
- 8:52freeway once and I saw a plane that was being u basically you know,
- 8:58on the on a flatbed, the wings off of it and the fuselage and
- 9:01it was it was cool. So I went ahead and I typed this.
- 9:05At the time, I believe I was in Phoenix, and this airplane was
- 9:11from Salwarita Green Valley at least that's where. Yeah, that's where the owner
- 9:15was from, you know, where where my stomping ground was. And I
- 9:18thought, this is kind of cool to be able to see this plane.
- 9:20So yeah, you could do that on those websites. Type it in and
- 9:22see. I mean, I remember my first plane that I ever flew.
- 9:26I know, the tail member looked it up and saw that it was somewhere
- 9:31in Las Vegas and the guy that owned the plane now and we're talking an
- 9:35old plane, but still that's kind of fun to do. Yeah, but
- 9:41it with the ADSP exchange part of it, right, so you can track
- 9:43like you can see where it flew from and it shows you, like if
- 9:46you click on the plane, it shows you where it flew and its flight
- 9:48path. And also too, it's cool because if you have a friend going
- 9:54somewhere, right, I mean you want to see when they land, you'll
- 9:58be able to actually see when they land and if they take an alternate route,
- 10:01which route they take, the whole bit, how they are avoiding weather.
- 10:03It's pretty neat to be able to see. Yeah, the world of
- 10:09technology where everything is tracked like this, it's pretty impressive how they do it.
- 10:13Earlier this week and if you were trying to get your flight simulator time
- 10:16in, you might have run into a little bit of a problem. Xbox
- 10:20Live was down, and you know when a site goes down, and I
- 10:26think we've all experienced, whether it be you know, a streaming site or
- 10:30you can't get onto you know, Gmail or whatnot. But when it's a
- 10:33site like xbox Live and you want to get on there and an hour,
- 10:35okay, that can happen two three four hours. This was down for almost
- 10:41an entire day, and people were losing their mind because they're on summer break
- 10:46for a lot of them, and this is the time that they enjoy the
- 10:48getting online. So July second, the recording is the day we recorded the
- 10:56show. It was down at around two pm and apparently as of ten twenty
- 11:01nine pm it's back on. So most of the day to day it was
- 11:07offline. Major outage. You didn't have access to any any of the games,
- 11:15like if your Cloud Games game pass, yes on your account, Yeah,
- 11:20so did that affect the PC game pass as well? I don't know
- 11:24if it was PC game passed too, but it's anything with your Xbox Live,
- 11:28so well I could have could have done that then yeah, yeah.
- 11:31So it's just it's the nature of the always online concept, right, Like
- 11:39it if you're putting all of your eggs in this one basket of being online,
- 11:45and that basket goes away, your eggs go with it, right,
- 11:48So it's just this it's just in a world where companies don't want to spend
- 11:54the money to make physical games. It's hard because the way that the do
- 11:58DLC and the content they want to build up data and you know, it's
- 12:01hard to do physical media when you're getting DLC all the time. But it's
- 12:05just it's the nature of the business, right It's it has to go that
- 12:09way to be able to facilitate these larger and larger and larger games because physical
- 12:15media has file size limitations, right, So you can't have these one hundred
- 12:18and sixty hundred and seventy gig games that exist on Blu Rays or whatever other
- 12:26optical media is out there that handles this this large format. So but you
- 12:31know, like like you said, this is just Xbox. Xbox was down,
- 12:35right, So okay, I can't play Xbox. Well what if Netflix
- 12:37was down or what if Disney Plus was down, or what if Hulu was
- 12:41down? Right, now I can't watch my favorite show, right, and
- 12:45with the ever increasing fees and you know, now stuff's getting bundled against So
- 12:50now we're back to cable. At what point do you start sailing the high
- 12:54seas. Yeah, it's it's intriguing how these companies don't They don't want to
- 13:00prove physical media because it costs money. But people want physical media for these
- 13:03events, these times where well I don't have internet or you know, I
- 13:07live in rural America or there are a lot of places around the world that
- 13:09don't have good internet. So until the world gets you know, it's it's
- 13:16a first word problem, right, It's like I can't get my media anywhere
- 13:20because I'm not on the Internet. But yeah, it's it's frustrating because you
- 13:26think about it, and we've been conditioned. We had VHS tapes, you
- 13:31know, when VHS was the thing, and then then suddenly it was like
- 13:33there's a new format, took up less space, you know, DVDs.
- 13:39It was like, oh, so then we had all these VHS tapes.
- 13:41We're like, well, I'll put these away somewhere, and they sat on
- 13:45a shelf somewhere and over time, you know, the quality can deteriorate off
- 13:50VHS, so they ended up giving it away or getting rid of it,
- 13:54giving it to goodwill. They would sell it. So then you got these
- 13:56DVDs and then all of a sudden you got brand new Blu ray which looks
- 14:01great, and then you say, well, I don't watch my DVDs anymore,
- 14:05so you give those away. And the problem is now we've got cloud.
- 14:09Everything's in the cloud. You rent a movie, you own a movie,
- 14:11well maybe sometimes you think you own it. I honestly, I can't
- 14:16think of the last thing I bought on Blue ray, or I don't buy
- 14:20dv you get buy DVDs anymore. Yeah, they still sell they still sell
- 14:24DVDs, they still sell it like Walmart and targets. I'm looking at my
- 14:30shelf trying to figure out what was, like, what was the last thing
- 14:33that I bought that was physical media. My kids came over and they were
- 14:35going through my Disney collection and I was like kind of like cringing because they
- 14:41were they were taking they were taking movies. Oh, we want to watch
- 14:43this, We want to watch this. And I was cringing because I'm like,
- 14:46I don't want to get rid of it, because if there is ever
- 14:48a time where we're in a position where we're not able to get connected to
- 14:54the cloud, the internet's down, we want to have a little entertainment,
- 14:56maybe get a little time. Okay, I'm gonna pop this movie, whether
- 15:00it be you know, Pinocchio or Albert Brooks Lost in America. We popped
- 15:05that in and then we could watch the movie. But if we don't have
- 15:07that physical media, it's gone. Well that's why I built my Raspberry Pie
- 15:13MB server right with with a four terabyte external hard drive. So I've just
- 15:18copied my media library over to it and now on the go, I've got
- 15:24it all in a little Pelican case that I can just plug in and I've
- 15:28got a mobile media network that I can connect my iPad to and watch movies.
- 15:31They kind of made it easier if you think about it. Sean,
- 15:35some of them, when you would buy a movie, they would include a
- 15:39digital copy, so you could have this digital copy with DRM, right,
- 15:43So it's still you still had to find a player that would play it.
- 15:46Where they came in weird formats. It was not always empty four or you
- 15:52know, a lot they stopped. They still do that, I think,
- 15:54But a lot of them were tied to a service, whether it was iTunes
- 15:58or like video or you'd have to go downloader for a service, so it's
- 16:03still downloaded. Would it still connect on the internet to be able to watch
- 16:07it? Is that? I don't know. I don't think. I don't
- 16:11I've only did that a handful of times with a couple of movies, but
- 16:15I don't know if they exist. But is that a license is a perpetual
- 16:19you know? It's like it's all that stuff that you don't think about.
- 16:22It's like, Okay, I have a digital license for us, but is
- 16:25it a permanent license? Yeah? Well, it's like in the same argument
- 16:27that people have shown with with the physical media. So you get a DVD
- 16:33and it's a DVD that maybe you haven't seen in a while, whether it
- 16:37be the original Shining or an older movie that maybe you liked, or even
- 16:41you know, the complete series box set of Black Sheep Squadron. And the
- 16:47thing is that people always said, Okay, well, is it my right
- 16:49legally to go ahead and make a copy of this, whether you're you know,
- 16:53using handbrake or make envy, whatever, you know, you want to
- 16:56make a digital copy and story, is it legally allowed to be able to
- 17:03be done if you still have the DVD. So if you get rid of
- 17:07the DVDs and you've got this digital copy that you made, then what happens?
- 17:11Are you breaking some kind of copyright law? Right? So there's some
- 17:15gray gray area there. I would say, yes, I'm not a lawyer.
- 17:18I don't know. Yeah, my entire Blu Ray make MKV Yeah yeah,
- 17:23it's Ray's handbrake for DVDs. Tournament MP four has drop. You know,
- 17:29it's a great way to save your physical content digitally and watch it on
- 17:33your pluck server or on your MP server, jellyfit, whatever you're whatever you're
- 17:36using to play it on yeah, there was a period though. I was
- 17:40doing that with some of my movies that have go why am I even digitizing
- 17:42this? I hated this movie because it was just so bad that go through
- 17:48later on to delete it because yeah, well I actually played a Blu Ray
- 17:52the other day. Max is really big into Star Wars right now. Oh
- 17:56good, good way to raise I wanted to watch the original movies. So
- 18:00I have the Blu Ray collection for you know, New Hope and Burshark's Back
- 18:03for the Jeda. I never digitized those. Oh well they don't. They're
- 18:07not on my book server. I was really surprised. I've got the the
- 18:11thirty five million four K rips of those, like there's the four K project
- 18:15that came out. The guy remastered them with the three thirty five MILIONI films.
- 18:18Those don't play back well off of a media server, unless unless you're
- 18:22playing directly from the computer. I came downstairs, pulled it off my shelf,
- 18:26dusted off the Brewery player, and played them off the Blu Ray.
- 18:30They they still look fantastic. It looks fantastic on the Blu Ray player.
- 18:33Now it's the Special Edition, so it's got all the special scenes and CGI
- 18:37and stuff and you can really tell it's terrible, which I really really wish.
- 18:41Yeah, they remastered it, added some scenes, did some CGI blah
- 18:45blah blah blah. They would make so much money if they re released the
- 18:49theatrical versions of those movies on Blu ray. And they never did that,
- 18:55the original version without touching them up or like DVD, VHS, DVD,
- 19:00but not never on Blu ray. Wow, that's bizarre. When they put
- 19:03it out on Blu Ray, they ended up including the scene like I'm take
- 19:07it Star Wars, the one with the first one we got in seventy seven,
- 19:12right, They added a Java character that looked a little different and you
- 19:18know, Han Solo steps over his tail or something like that. So little
- 19:22things like that, but yet not in that the original was so much better.
- 19:27It's kind of like Mad Max. You know Mad Max, the Australian
- 19:30film they came out in seventy eight. I think I've seen all the Mad
- 19:34Max movies. Have you seen the original US release of Mad Bax? Probably
- 19:40not so the original US release of Mad Bax. They didn't think the American
- 19:45public would understand the accents of the Australian actors, including Mel Gibson. So
- 19:51it was all dubbed, so it's like a really bad dubbing, almost like
- 19:56yeah, almost like a martial arts film. The dubbing. Matter of fact,
- 20:00the voice of Pops, the big guy in that was always of Pops
- 20:03from speed Racer, so two of the voice it's but you know, it's
- 20:08kind of sim Then they finally said, well, let's put it on on
- 20:11DVD. They put it on on DVD with the actual Australian dialect and it
- 20:17was so much better. Interesting. Yeah, it's funny how they do that.
- 20:19But that was kind of like one of the things people were talking about
- 20:22though with Xbox Live going down. You know. The other thing is games.
- 20:26You don't get games anymore on physical media. I mean I the last
- 20:32physical game I bought was Link's Awakening on the Switch, which was a re
- 20:40release of ads Nintendo DS game. They re released it for the Switch,
- 20:45right, and I bought the physical version of that because it came with an
- 20:48art book, so it came with extra stuff, physical art book. Right.
- 20:55I bought the physical copy of the Ninja Turtles game for the Switch.
- 21:03Most of my physical games have been for the Switch. I haven't bought a
- 21:06console physical console game in a long time, and it's been it's been probably
- 21:11over a decade since I bought even more than that, since I bought a
- 21:17physical game for my computer. Yeah, last one I got was Red Dead
- 21:21Redemption two for my computer. That was the last one. Yeah, I'm
- 21:25trying to think, because I used to go at midnight and stand in line
- 21:30m HM at Meyer or Best Buy to get copies of you know, I
- 21:37remember going for the release of Bernie Crusades for World War Craft. I remember
- 21:42going for a Wrath of lich Gang for Bernick D's catechlysm right, and then
- 21:47I think that would have been two thousand and ten. I think after that
- 21:49it was all just, oh, you can just buy the digital Room,
- 21:52I need to go to the store to get it. I ended up buying
- 21:56it anyways, because I wanted the box art, and you can buy the
- 22:00Collector Collector pretty much. The only thing you're buying physical is Collector's editions comes
- 22:07with the game. But what am I gonna do with it but put the
- 22:11code in downloaded online. I'm not putting DVDs in anymore. So what happens
- 22:14though to your collection when you have games like say, you know, the
- 22:18original Red Dead or maybe you have Grand Theft Auto the original versions of that,
- 22:25and you're running Windows eleven or you know, Windows ten. These games
- 22:30were put out at its time, right, yeah, so you can run
- 22:33some stuff in xpeak compatibility mode right in Windows ten, Windows eleven. I'm
- 22:38not a Windows eleven, but there is a great if you're looking for classic
- 22:44games like Wolfenstein, Doom, hex in you know some of those older games.
- 22:48G og games or g og dot com is a gg games do games
- 22:57go og dot com. They have a a launcher and you can download it.
- 23:02They're relatively inexpensive, right, so I've bought you know, I have
- 23:06Doomed, the Wolfenstein's other things like that. I'll pull up the hole this
- 23:10year in a minute. But you can go back and find some of those,
- 23:14you know, appag Games, Sierra Games, O Man, the games
- 23:18that you played back in the day that are have been digitally remastered for current
- 23:23gen, current gen platforms, Windows ten, Windows leven. So cool.
- 23:29Check that out if you know, if you want to spend some time uh
- 23:34playing Doom or you know, Wolfenstein or you know those types of games,
- 23:41there's a lot of fun, fun ones in there to play, all right,
- 23:44good stuff we gotta take a quick break we come back. I got
- 23:45on a project this week which actually was a lot of fun, but I
- 23:49ran into some problems, So we'll talk about that coming up. Maybe it'd
- 23:52be a solution for you if you're trying to do the same thing. I'm
- 23:56Andy Taylor. I'm sean to weard and find us on the web at tech
- 23:59talk radio dot com. We'll be right back and now fact to tech talk
- 24:02Radio. I'm getting their message directsoundcom dot com. Object. I don't want
- 24:08to hook up. I don't know what the direct pick. I don't know
- 24:14what I'm doing. New project that I decided to take up this week,
- 24:19And maybe my problems can help you because I did run into some problems I
- 24:26have and I don't know Sean. If you've ever seen the half nine point
- 24:30thirty two from cooler Master, it was a case that came out about fourteen
- 24:37years ago, and this case had a lot of room in it. It
- 24:41was designed for the maximum airflow on the full sized motherboards you could put I
- 24:49mean seriously, if you wanted to, you could have a series of DVDs,
- 24:55Blu rays, backup drives, USB ports inside of this case. Because
- 25:00it was just so darn huge massive. This thing is legitimately massive. They
- 25:08even have new ones, the half seven hundred cheese, so pete, that's
- 25:12huge. They're enormous. But the problem, here's the problem. I want
- 25:18to update two Windows eleven. I want to get it out of the way.
- 25:22For those who don't know, October of next year, not this year.
- 25:25Next year will be kind of when Windows ten will no longer receive support.
- 25:29So I thought, I'm gonna do a little investigation. I'm gonna find
- 25:33if I could indeed upgrade this computer that's inside the half nine thirty two.
- 25:37Custom built it back then, and I've gone through a couple of motherboard changes
- 25:41since then, and the most recent motherboard was the Z one seventy a from
- 25:45Asus. Pretty good board. Uh, it's got an I seven in it.
- 25:52And I found out that this ASU's board has a TPM slot, so
- 26:00a TPM two point zero module slot. So it means I can buy I
- 26:04think i'n't got to this point yet, this TPM module and plug it into
- 26:10the board and then hopefully be able to update and upgrade to Windows eleven.
- 26:17It'd be nice, it would be good. So I found the one that
- 26:18I needed to get got it in, and it's got to go inside this
- 26:22big half nine thirty two. I went to lift that thing, and I
- 26:26mean, I'm you know, I'm no spring chicken. I thought it was
- 26:29going to pull out my back. It's gross weight is thirty five pounds.
- 26:33That's just without everything in it. That's just the case. That's not including
- 26:37a power supply of motherboards, hard drives whatever, yep five three and a
- 26:44half inch drive bays that are yep, uh six five point twenty five inch
- 26:52drive base. Right, It's crazy, it's so so big. So I
- 26:56went ahead and I ordered a case that I'm familiar with. I built glorious
- 27:00computer. I put her in a fractal G. It's a pretty nice looking
- 27:03case, fractal G. You can see that it's got pretty good air you
- 27:07know, airflow in it. It's comes with three fans. I can add
- 27:11two fans to the back and it still would fit my ATX motherboard. So
- 27:18I went ahead and I did it. Took me about three hours, pulled
- 27:22everything out of the calf nine thirty two, took it outside and basically vacuums,
- 27:29you know, cleaned the all the components, the fans. I can't
- 27:32believe. Yes, I got one of the actual fab got the same kind
- 27:36of vacuum, which is great. Uh, the at the this is the
- 27:40I'm showing Andy my my air duster, which is the the at Ende rechargeable
- 27:45air duster, which is fantastic. They're great. I actually had my boss
- 27:49at work ordery one for cleaning stuff at work too, like cleaning my desk,
- 27:52cleaning our engineery shop. It's fantastic. It's three different speeds on that
- 27:56right. It's got a mine has an like a mine just has a rotary
- 28:03that I can spin it up. So I just turned it all the way
- 28:04up and it's it's incredible. So whenever I open up my computer, I
- 28:07can just blow it, blow it out. It's fantastic. You know,
- 28:12it's not just for your computer. I used to all sorts of stuff,
- 28:15cleaning my workshop, dusting off the you know my PlayStation, like it's so
- 28:21so good. Well, I I've got one of those two stories. I
- 28:25took it out in the front yard, put it on a bench, a
- 28:27little chair, a wood chair that I have that's like a bench, and
- 28:30I started dusting off. I could not believe how much dust was actually caked
- 28:36onto the cooling fan for the processor. How much dust was caked into the
- 28:42fans on the video card, which is fairly new. I replaced that video
- 28:47card last year, and so I gave it a really good cleaning, got
- 28:51it all cleaned up, then took the other case, put everything inside that
- 28:55case. Everything was great, everything I put it in there. I was
- 29:00happy because I could now move this thing around pretty easily. Then I decided,
- 29:04well, I'm gonna end up going to Windows eleven on this. I
- 29:07had a four hundred and eighty gigabyte SSD inside this machine, and I only
- 29:12had sixty gigabytes left, which means Windows eleven would not install on this no
- 29:18matter what I did, because you're gonna have I need at least. Isn't
- 29:22it supposed to be like two hundred gigabytes free or something like that. I
- 29:26don't know. It's a lot. It's a lot. So I thought,
- 29:29oh boy, that's that's not going to be good. So I went ahead
- 29:32and ordered a one terabyte. I probably should have done a two terabyte.
- 29:36I could have done an M two, but I just went ahead and did
- 29:38with an SSD and I got that in and I have a subrant. I
- 29:44also have another manufacturer for cloning, and I went ahead and cloned the drive.
- 29:51I went from four to eighty to one terabyte. I put it into
- 29:53the system, opened it up, and all I'm showing is a four hundred
- 29:57and eighty gigabyte drive, and I know it's got to be more than that.
- 30:03And then I look and I see, oh and unallocated. I tried
- 30:07everything to get that to be one drive size. I used Acronus. I
- 30:14got Acranus to do the cloning. That didn't even want to do it for
- 30:18me. So I did another hardware. I took it out, did another
- 30:21hardware, moving it over nothing. I found a program that worked. Uh,
- 30:26and what it allowed me to do is clone that four hundred and eighty
- 30:30gigbyte drive to the one terabyte. Then I had the I had. What
- 30:33I had was a rescue drive for Windows ten that was in between the seed
- 30:40drive that I copied, and then you had the unallocated space. Even if
- 30:45you formatted or created a volume or whatnot on that unallocated space, it still
- 30:52would not let you extend the drive, make it all one drive side.
- 30:56That's annoying. Some people were saying, oh, just give it a drive
- 30:57number, and I was online. I'm reading some of the comments, so
- 31:00they were having the same problems. Give it a drive number, But that's
- 31:03not what I wanted. You know again, I'm gonna want to install Windows,
- 31:07you know, Windows eleven on this. So I found a pro product
- 31:11and I've had it before and I just never even thought about using it.
- 31:15It's from a company called Partition Wizard. So if you go to partition Wizard
- 31:18dot com and you're trying to do this going from a four to eighty to
- 31:22one terrorbyte or two terabyte, and this product they make is called mini Tool,
- 31:29So the Mini Tool Partition Wizard. Once your your drive is in,
- 31:33you can then run the mini tool and you can see where that recovery drive
- 31:37is. Took three steps, delete the recovery drive, go ahead, and
- 31:44then do the extend and extend it all the way so you get that full
- 31:48use of the drive. It's good to go. However, now I'm thinking,
- 31:51Sean, Now I'm thinking, am I better off? Now I still
- 31:56have this drive, It's where I want it to be, it's one terabyte?
- 32:00Am I better off reinstalling Windows and just running with a clean install of
- 32:06Windows? Yes? Right, you've been You've been always saying this, right,
- 32:09Yeah, it's anytime you're doing a new computer, or you're upgrading,
- 32:15or you're gonna go from Windows ten to eleven. Right, you can make
- 32:21the jump from ten to eleven and keep all your stuff, but you're also
- 32:24bringing all the bloat, right, the bloat, the bloat, the bloat.
- 32:29Yeah, because I have a W Master Suite, which I don't use
- 32:32on this computer anymore. I've got office and we're talking old office that I
- 32:40don't use anymore. I've got office that I don't really need on this computer.
- 32:45This is my production room computer, and I've got programs for doing conversion
- 32:49of videos and whatnot. So honestly, I really don't need So starting over
- 32:53fresh would just get me to install just what I needed, and then that
- 32:58would be that would get the system run a lot better, wouldn't it.
- 33:00Yeah. I don't get rid of any of my installer files, and they
- 33:04all live on a separate hard drive. So like when I do my installs
- 33:07to my main seed drive, like the installer file goes to another drive that
- 33:10exists. So if I lose my computer, I have all those install drives
- 33:17or install files. So I installed this application of that application, so whenever.
- 33:23Like when I upgraded one of my other computers to Windows eleven, I
- 33:27just nuked it first, right, and just put Windows eleven Pro on it.
- 33:30There's no reason to just keep the bloat from ten into eleven. You
- 33:35might as well just format your drive. It's even recommended you get a new
- 33:38hard drive. You shouldn't just keep living on the same hard drive year after
- 33:42year after year, because they are not meant to last forever. They will
- 33:45fail, and you know, upgrading to either an M two and upgrading your
- 33:49storage or speed, right, you don't want to be putting a fifty fifty
- 33:52eight hundred rpm BENI drive in your new computer. I usually go a year
- 33:59to year and a half maybe before I blow out my Windows ten installation and
- 34:02start over afresh, just to get rid of the crap that I've installed over
- 34:07the years. Or the The big question though sean for a lot of people,
- 34:09though is and the same one I'm running into. There is one program
- 34:15RX nine that is an audio editing program that I wouldn't mind having on this
- 34:20computer. How do you reinstall it without having a re license it is?
- 34:23There is usually is there a way to like uninstall it? And then you
- 34:29know install it with the new OS and not run into that. So your
- 34:32license, this is my understanding, your license is baked into the motherboard.
- 34:37Okay, all right, So into the bios or the eu FI, so
- 34:42that if I go in and I delete my reinstall Windows, or I upgrade
- 34:47to eleven, your Windows ten key should still If you got the free upgrade
- 34:52to Windows eleven, or you got the free upgrade from the Windows seven to
- 34:54Windows ten, my wins. So theoretically, yeah, Window seven key is
- 35:01my Windows eleven key. Because I've done the free upgrade to Windows ten,
- 35:06I did the free upgrade to Windows eleven, that key should still theoretically get
- 35:10me all the way to Windows eleven. Right, if you change, if
- 35:13you major do major changes to your hardware. I put a new motherboard in,
- 35:17and I do new RAM, and I do new hard drives, or
- 35:22and I dropped my old hard drive in and try and boom from it,
- 35:23it's gonna go wellha, wait a minute. You've changed a bunch of hardware.
- 35:28You need to call Microsoft and say hey, I changed hardware, because
- 35:30then they register it to the hardware built into your computer. I ran into
- 35:35that once with a computer we were building, and the motherboard was a bad
- 35:37motherboard. We sent it back and then we had already purchased the OS and
- 35:43installed it. And then once we sent it back, got a new motherboard.
- 35:46We tried to run it and it was same brand, same manufacturer.
- 35:52It wouldn't let it go, and I had to get on the phone with
- 35:53Microsoft. They were very cool. They took care of it. They were
- 35:57able to fix that. But still, for a minute there I thought we
- 36:00lost, you know, one hundred and something dollars on a Windows Windows distribution.
- 36:05The other fun thing I learned about. So when I upgraded, so
- 36:07I do a lot when I have my pcser on the house, I do
- 36:09remote desktop, smaking control of them. If I'm running my funk server or
- 36:14so, I use remote desktop. Right, So remote desktop on most versions
- 36:16of Windows ten is right, So when I upgraded to Windows eleven, remote
- 36:21desktop didn't work. Oh wow, remote desktop for Windows eleven is only available
- 36:25in the proverse. Okay, all right, is that safe program to run
- 36:30remote desktop? Ye? Yeah, you know I'm not connecting to anything on
- 36:32you know, another network or an It's all local to my network, so
- 36:37right right, Because I know real VNC just recently got rid of their free
- 36:40version that they were doing for people to be able to connect remotely to a
- 36:45computer. And you know, now they have a paid kind of a paid
- 36:49version for you to use if you want to, because you know, they
- 36:52found a lot of people were using it just not paying for it. Oh
- 36:53yeah mc b yeah yeah, all right, we take another quick break.
- 36:59We come back. We have more stories for you coming up with tech talk
- 37:01Radio. I'm Andy Taylor. I'm sure the word find us on Facebook at
- 37:05tech Talkers. We'll be right back now back to tech talk Radio. A
- 37:09great portion of the news groups you subscribe to begin with al dot binaries.
- 37:15Please offend that. Before the break, we were talking about using reo V
- 37:25and C yeah, to remote into other computers that are running real V and
- 37:30C. My dad's computer or your mom's computer or something like that. It
- 37:34used to be a free service. You just Maine account and you could have
- 37:37X number of computers assigned to it. I think it was like ten or
- 37:42something it was, and it was really easy, simple to set up,
- 37:45but also there was there was something secured. Right, it's only as strong
- 37:49as your weakest password, that kind of thing. Well, they said no
- 37:52more free. Yeah, it's actually absurdly expensive? Is it really? The
- 37:55Essentials plans? So there's four four tiers of plants, Essential plus Premium,
- 38:00Enterprise. So their Essentials plan which allows you one user up to three managed
- 38:06devices, right, three sixty nine per device per month build annually. Oh
- 38:10wow, so that's what twelve bucks per month and then you're paying people if
- 38:15you did three devices, Yes, so you rounded up to four twelve bucks
- 38:17a month build annually. Wow, that's a lot. They're really cutting off
- 38:22a largeority of their users by doing that. I don't know. So you're
- 38:27looking if you're looking for something similar to real V and C that you can
- 38:30use on your local network that's free, like for tight V and C Ultra
- 38:35van C you can use those. Sure. In the past, Team Viewer
- 38:39has also been pretty popular, but they they ran into some issues just earlier
- 38:45this week. So earlier in June, Team Viewer was hacked by a state
- 38:51sponsored Russian group known as APT twenty nine. So at the university, we've
- 38:55been told no team Viewer at all. Well we we've been told that for
- 39:00a long time now, because this isn't the first time they've been hacked,
- 39:02and it's not super secure anyways, because it's only like a six digit password
- 39:07that you get sent and it's it's whatever. It's a lot of relying on
- 39:10the vendor or the other party to be involved in not sharing your passwords and
- 39:15stuff. But when we're talking about security, there was a lot of talk
- 39:19just a few months ago, you brought this to our attention about Dji and
- 39:23Dji. I owned a drone. I went and bought a drone last year
- 39:28and I've flown it maybe four times. I really want to get my what
- 39:31they call the far one oh seven. So then I could go ahead.
- 39:36I know realtors. I've done photography for realtors. I could then you know,
- 39:39say hey, I can also do drone aerial drone shots of the property.
- 39:45Whatever. But there's been a problem now with Dji possibly having a problem
- 39:51here in the United States operating so much like TikTok. Right, it's owned
- 39:59primarily by Chinese company, by Dance or whatever their company is called. Dji
- 40:07is a Chinese company, right, so everybody knows in China, regulations and
- 40:14the Internet and all that stuff's completely different. Like data, it just doesn't
- 40:19it goes to the government. So there are protections in place for us as
- 40:23US consumers that our data doesn't get sent to China, right, Well,
- 40:30there are a lot of people that say otherwise, our data is going to
- 40:34China. So there was legislation put in place called the Countering CCP Drones Act,
- 40:39which is essentially banned the sale of DJA products. And I'm assuming there's
- 40:45some other Chinese vendors that are mixed in this literature as well, but it
- 40:50would ban the sales of DJA products in the US. So that would mean
- 40:57I can't go to the store buy one. Now I could fly the one
- 41:00that I have, or use the other dj A products that I have,
- 41:05because it's not just drones, right it's there are other key pieces of DJA
- 41:08technology that I own or that we as a studio's own that could be impacted
- 41:15by this. So it is passed the House, it's got to go through
- 41:20the Senate and get passed, and we'll see with all the other crazy low
- 41:24stuff that's getting passed right now. No who knows what's going to get past
- 41:27these days. I know a lot of the concern was that I wouldn't be
- 41:30able to fly my drone no matter what. Now this doesn't look like that
- 41:35that may be the case. It does not look like that could have.
- 41:37It could be just on the sale of the new products and more more in
- 41:43line with what they put out. Yeah, it seems like it's just trying
- 41:46to keep the technology, the new word technology out of the US. Right.
- 41:51As technology gets better and GPS data gets more accurate, and data collection
- 41:55as a whole becomes more and more, Right, I install the app on
- 42:00your phone. Okay, Well, what permissions do you give the app on
- 42:02your phone? What data does it get from your phone? All that stuff
- 42:06can then get sent back to DJI. They say, we don't use it
- 42:10for anything except serving you GPS coordinates and app in app stuff. Right,
- 42:16but we all know that that's not realistic. Right. The data is going
- 42:21somewhere. It's going to a server hosted by DJI, somewhere got to be
- 42:27read somehow, So the data exists. If there's just concern that the data
- 42:30could get used maliciously. There's so much data, who knows, right,
- 42:34But we'll see what happens. I want to show you something that I think
- 42:37is so cool for kids. I don't know if you'll find have the same
- 42:40excitement. Sean A. I'm just one big kids, so probably, well
- 42:45maybe you'll like it. Then a friend of mine had sent me a note
- 42:51on Instagram saying have you seen this yet? And I looked at it and
- 42:54I thought, well, that's kind of interesting. It's from a company called
- 42:58camp Snap and what it is it is a digital camera. However, it's
- 43:06missing some of the things and the company took that in mind when they were
- 43:10developing this product. Now the company is based in Redondo Beach and it's a
- 43:17scream free digital camera. Its echo friendly, five hundred photos per charge.
- 43:24You point and shoot vintage film style photos, and a pre installed memory card
- 43:30comes with it. So here's the camera itself. I'm showing Sean the camera
- 43:35itself, Camp Stamp. It looks like an old school film camera and it
- 43:39charges via USBC. There is a again, the the SD card is under
- 43:47a device that is it's screwed in. Kids can't pull it out. And
- 43:52then when you take the picture, you just you hold the button down to
- 43:58power it up and then you take a picture. Now, the whole point
- 44:01of not having the digital screen on the back is so that you enjoy the
- 44:07moment. How many of us go to take a digital picture, whether we
- 44:12have a a DSLR, mirrorless or even an old cassio, and we'll take
- 44:16the picture and then we look at the picture on the back. Then we
- 44:20take another one, look at the picture on the back, and then scroll
- 44:22through the pictures and see what you got, maybe catch something else. The
- 44:27experience with this one is imagine a kid, he has this camera, go
- 44:30out, have fun, take pictures. They take a picture, they don't
- 44:35look at the back, Hopefully they caught what they wanted. Then they get
- 44:38home, they hook up the USBC cable to it, and they transfer their
- 44:43photos into their computer and they can go ahead and print them, save them,
- 44:47share them, do whatever they're going to do with them. And the
- 44:52experience is only about sixty five dollars for the camera. So see that I'm
- 44:55on the road. Sort right out. You can buy sixty trived dollars.
- 44:59Comes at a bunch colors navy, yellow, white, brown, aqua,
- 45:01forest green, pink, red, black, just a different experience. Now.
- 45:07My only thing I will say about this that that makes me go eh
- 45:12is the shutter speed on it. You can't adjust the focus at least right
- 45:16now. The company is going to be putting out some different products soon.
- 45:21It's got an LED flash, so it's not the brightest flash in the world,
- 45:25and the shutter is very slow. I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm
- 45:29you're gonna hear this, but I'm gonna go ahead and take a picture.
- 45:32That was one photo. I had my finger on the button the whole time
- 45:37and it took. So you have to really you want to use shots that
- 45:40are mainly not a lot of action in it, not a punch people running
- 45:45around, uh, because then they might blur out. But I mean,
- 45:50it's and the quality on it, it's okay. It's all about the experience.
- 45:53And I mean, if you're gonna get this to your kid before you
- 45:55get them a smartphone, or you just looking for something just to take a
- 46:00picture and have some fun with the snapcam camp snap might be a great way
- 46:07to do it. It's got nothing to do with snapchat or anything like that.
- 46:09It is just kind of a cool idea. And you're you're looking at
- 46:13that at their website and apparently they have filters. I haven't found that section
- 46:16yet that will allow you to adjust. So you want to do black and
- 46:21white, you can do black and white, or you want to do it
- 46:23and you do it in camera, or you want to do a vintage Art
- 46:28deco shot. You could do that in camera as well. So pretty good.
- 46:31It looks it looks pretty cool for the website sixty five bucks, it's
- 46:35not too bad. Yeah, some textpecs on it real quick. The photo
- 46:39quality is eight megapixel, which is thirty five millimeters equivalent apparently. Yeah,
- 46:45so f one point eight uh, and the focal link is four point eight
- 46:51millimeters right, you can't just one in three point two inch sensor. Right,
- 46:58that's not the best censor of the world. But again, well you're
- 47:01paying a minimal amount of money. And so far the princes that I've seen
- 47:06that my friend has taken, she sent me one of the black and whites
- 47:08that they did. They were out at some lake having a good time.
- 47:14Look great. You know, I could imagine a kid would have some fun
- 47:16with this, and for that price, why not. So I'm gonna feature
- 47:21this one on TV coming up on Monday. But I thought this was kind
- 47:24of neat. Yeah, it looks pretty cool. Most kind of like in
- 47:28the world of the Polary, like the you know the polaroids, where it
- 47:31goes and stuff. Well, the thing with the polaroid too is if you
- 47:35remember with the older Polaroids, you would take a picture and don't if you
- 47:37remember ever using one of those, You would take a picture and it would
- 47:42shoot the film out, and then you have to wait for it. You'd
- 47:45have to wait before you started to see the picture. And many times you
- 47:49would just sit there and wait and not even take another picture yet. So
- 47:53this one, yeah, you just got a slow shutter on it. But
- 47:57again you take it and then you just take the next one, or you're
- 48:00not focused on the camera the whole time. You know. One of the
- 48:02most got to be frustrating for people. You go to a concert. If
- 48:07you've seen how many phones are in the air taking pictures. They're not enjoying
- 48:12the music. They're not that's why they're there at the concert. They're taking
- 48:15the picture of the artist. So again, it takes you out of that
- 48:19and puts you more into just taking a picture with the camera. Why not
- 48:22do that? Yeah, I love the Polaroid one. I have the Polaroide,
- 48:27the Polaroid Go and it's been awesome. I love it. The film
- 48:31is a little you know, you get eight eight shots for sixteen bucks.
- 48:35Yeah, but it's totally cool. I've gotten some really great family stuff that
- 48:40I just it's it's definitely unique. What size, now, what size are
- 48:45those are the polaroids? This the normal Polaroid size? Oh okay, cool,
- 48:50because I've got the four inch or whatever they are. I got the
- 48:53Canon ivy, which is a basically two inch print and yeah, it's bigger
- 48:59than that. Yeah. This one is cool though, because you can connect
- 49:01your smartphone to it via Bluetooth and you know, print directly to it.
- 49:07It's fun to have at a party and you want to take a picture and
- 49:09then you can give it to somebody right away, which is kind of a
- 49:13neat thing. Speaking of cameras, let's real quickly take a look at this.
- 49:16Gizmoto put together a list of products and gadgets that we must have for
- 49:21the month of June, and one of them I didn't even know was coming
- 49:23out because Insta three sixty. If you've ever seen a motorcyclist and it's got
- 49:30like a black stick that's sitting on top of their handlebars, that could be
- 49:37an Insta three sixty. And a lot of motorcyclists are using those, are
- 49:42getting out on the roads, people driving around, and what it does is
- 49:45it takes a three hundred and sixty degree video or shot that looks pretty cool.
- 49:50Well, they have put together what they're calling the insta three sixty go
- 49:53three s and you just took a look at this one too. It's so
- 50:00right, it's really it looks incredible. But what they did is they put
- 50:06it on a cat. The cat's wearing it on his collar, so it's
- 50:09like your cat or dog can have its own action camera, you know,
- 50:12running around in the backyard or jumping a fence or whatnot. But it sells
- 50:15for about four hundred dollars, so I don't know if it want to strap
- 50:17it on the neighborhood cat, but I don't know. So this one's not
- 50:22a three hundred and sixty degree camera. This is just an action camera,
- 50:25right, So I want to make sure that's clear. They do make a
- 50:28three hundred and sixty degree camera, but this one is just like their action
- 50:32but it's very tiny, easily too easy to clip on the brim of your
- 50:37hat, on your dog, on your cat. You can tie it in
- 50:39with the Apple find my so like you can tie it in with your Apple
- 50:43find My apps. I'm just reading off of the website right now. It's
- 50:46magnetic, so you can click on stuff. It's it's got a base.
- 50:50You can set it in and charge it that so it gives you extended battery
- 50:52life. It comes in black, it comes in white, sixty four gig
- 50:55one hundred and twenty eight gig custom skins, so you can get your own
- 50:59custom skins. This looks really cool. You can find more on the Insta
- 51:02three sixty website. Coming back, We've got a website of the week.
- 51:07I'm Andy Taylor. I'm shot a word. Follow us on x at tech
- 51:09Talk Radio and now fact to tech talk Radio. Sean has got a great
- 51:15website of the week. He was showing it to me and I'm like,
- 51:17this is rich, this is gold. I love it. So Jason has
- 51:21mentioned this before, right, He's got the panic button, right, if
- 51:23he's playing a game, he's got the panic button on his stream deck that
- 51:28will trigger a spreadsheet. So that's right. Yeah, so this is something
- 51:32similar, but it's called white screen dot online. Okay, So if you
- 51:37want to pull a prank on somebody, or you want to come up with
- 51:40an excuse you can't do something in your computer at work or at home,
- 51:45you can do prank screens or fake update screens. Everybody knows what a Windows
- 51:51ten or a Windows XP update screen looks like. Right you hit the you
- 51:55hit the start button, you actually only say restart and update. Right,
- 52:00it's the dreaded Windows update screen. So you can go in here and you
- 52:04can load and it makes it look like your computer is doing an update.
- 52:07If you're watching the video on our blog, you can open it up and
- 52:12it looks like it forces it, so it looks like my computers doing an
- 52:15update. You've got Windows eleven, Windows ten, Windows XP, Mac Os,
- 52:21Ubuntu, or you could even do screen of death, the blue screen
- 52:25of death, so it looks like you've had a you know, your computer's
- 52:29failed. So if you want to prank somebody at work, you want to
- 52:30make them think they're computer crashed, you can pull this up full screen in
- 52:35Oh, you want to do a broken screen, you can do this.
- 52:37It looks like the screen's broken. Or this one is free. This one
- 52:40is great. It's called hacker type. So it opens the screen up and
- 52:44it looks like you're typing in the matrix. So it's just got the green
- 52:46cursor icon in the upright and I'm just spamming buttons on my keyboard. It
- 52:50looks like I'm typing code. This is really really really well done. I'm
- 52:54just you can hear me spamming on the keyboard, right it, But it
- 52:57was just spamming what looks like right, So it's just it's comical, all
- 53:01right. The the website address is you just go to white screen dot Online
- 53:08and there you'll get access to whichever one you want to do. I think
- 53:13the Windows XP is hilarious because it would be like, why would you run
- 53:19that? And uh to get out of it, it's super easy. You
- 53:22just hit the escape keep. Yeah, but you can set the time.
- 53:25The broken screen one, that one's pretty good as well. Again, White
- 53:30screen Online, White Screen dot Online, great stuff, Sean, I love
