  Sunny mornings send you. In local news, dozens
• 3:12
  of police departments in Massachusetts are now
• 3:15
  using Flock Safety's automated license plate
• 3:18
  reader technology. which captures and records
• 3:21
  license plates and locations as cars pass by.
• 3:25
  This artificial intelligence system allows police
• 3:28
  to track motorists during criminal investigations,
• 3:31
  with Chief Legal Officer Dan Haley stating that
• 3:34
  the cameras capture information visible to the
• 3:37
  public. Haley emphasized that data typically
• 3:40
  remains on a server for about 30 days and is
• 3:44
  accessible by contracted police departments.
• 3:47
  The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts
• 3:50
  is monitoring the technology due to concerns
• 3:53
  over data sharing with numerous law enforcement
• 3:56
  agencies. Former Police Chief John Carmichael
• 4:00
  highlighted that this technology can aid in public
• 4:03
  safety, helping locate missing persons and alerting
• 4:06
  law enforcement when necessary. Now onto sports.
• 4:16
  As Paul Skeens continually conjured magical starts
• 4:20
  this summer, Pittsburgh Pirates catchers Henry
• 4:23
  Davis and Joey Bart whispered about the Sai Yam
• 4:26
  Award. The celebration began when Skeens won
• 4:30
  the National League Award, earning all 30 first
• 4:33
  -place votes. Skeens is the second pitcher in
• 4:37
  Major League Baseball history to win Rookie of
• 4:40
  the Year and Sai Yam in consecutive seasons.
• 4:43
  He led the majors in earned run average at 1
• 4:47
  .97 and the National League in walks and hits
• 4:50
  per inning pitched at 0 .948. Skeens is the Pirates'
• 4:56
  third Cy Young winner, joining Verne Law and
• 4:59
  Dog Drebeck. In local sports, the Celtics crushed
• 5:05
  the Grizzlies, 131 -95, with five players in
• 5:10
  double figures. Boston registers its sixth win
• 5:13
  of the season. The Seas returned home to face
• 5:17
  off against the Grizzlies last night. Boston
• 5:20
  led all night, securing a big home win. Peyton
• 5:24
  Pritchard led the team in scoring with 24 points.
• 5:28
  Derek White contributed 20 points, while Jalen
• 5:31
  Brown added 19 points, six rebounds, and six
• 5:35
  assists. Jordan Walsh replaced Josh Menott in
• 5:38
  the starting lineup. and made an instant impact.
• 5:43
  Boston will host the Los Angeles Clippers on
• 5:45
  Sunday at 3 .30 in the afternoon Eastern time.
• 5:51
  In top news, using your credit card at the checkout
• 5:54
  is set to get a lot more complicated. A settlement
• 5:58
  between Visa and MasterCard, along with U .S.
• 6:01
  merchants, could lead to tiered pricing at the
• 6:04
  register. This agreement follows a two -decade
• 6:07
  antitrust battle over interchange fees, which
• 6:10
  banks collect from merchants for credit card
• 6:12
  transactions. If approved, merchants could charge
• 6:16
  different fees based on credit card categories,
• 6:19
  allowing for surcharges based on card type. However,
• 6:23
  analysts warned that adding fees might alienate
• 6:26
  customers, as many would switch payment methods
• 6:29
  to avoid surcharges. Despite changes, rewards
• 6:33
  programs are likely to remain intact. In business
• 6:38
  news, the decline of cable television just hit
• 6:42
  a major milestone. For years, the pay television
• 6:47
  business seemed to defy gravity. However, that
• 6:50
  is no longer the case, as the industry has been
• 6:53
  eroding for a decade. A recent estimate from
• 6:57
  Madison and Wall shows that 15 years ago, Nearly
• 7:00
  9 in 10 United States households had a paid television
• 7:04
  subscription, but by the end of 2025, that number
• 7:08
  will drop to 5 out of 10. This decline explains
• 7:12
  why companies like Comcast and Warner Bros. Discovery
• 7:16
  are trying to sell or spin off their cable television
• 7:19
  assets. Advertisers are also noticing that higher
• 7:23
  levels of audience reach can be found elsewhere.
• 7:27
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 1 % to about
• 7:32
  $102 ,000. Ethereum is up half a percent to just
• 7:38
  under $3 ,500. And XRP is up 3 % to $2 .46. Moving
• 7:47

• 8:31
  now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. Apple
• 8:37
  has launched a digital ID, which will be accepted
• 8:40
  by the Transportation Security Administration
• 8:43
  at checkpoints in more than 250 airports across
• 8:47
  the United States. This feature allows users
• 8:50
  to create and store an ID in Apple Wallet using
• 8:53
  their United States passport. Digital ID acceptance
• 8:58
  will roll out first at TSA checkpoints for domestic
• 9:01
  travel. Users can present their digital ID instead
• 9:05
  of a real ID using an iPhone or Apple Watch.
• 9:09
  However, it is not a replacement for a physical
• 9:12
  passport and cannot be used for international
• 9:15
  travel. To create a digital ID, users must scan
• 9:19
  their passport and take a selfie for verification.
• 9:23
  Apple assures that this feature is encrypted,
• 9:26
  safeguarding user data. And in entertainment
• 9:32

  officer Ted Sarandos envisioning up to 60 locations
• 10:09
  globally. This expansion taps into a market longing
• 10:13
  for in -person gatherings, capitalizing on nostalgia
• 10:17
  for traditional malls. Well, alrighty folks,
• 10:22
  it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 10:26
  our quote comes from the British author and philosopher
