  Speaker 1: The following program is produced by the Tech Talk Radio Network.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Welcome to tech Talk Radio. I'm your host, Matt Jones.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I'm not dead, I'm Sean's Weird, I'm Justin Lemmey, and
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I'm Andy Taylor.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Good to see that you are not dead. Matt. It's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: been a while. How long has it been since you
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: been on the show.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It's been months.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. People miss you. They say, where's that guy? Matt?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: They call in all the time. They don't call when
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I'm out sick, they call where's Matt.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It's because I'm so pretty.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Well. Now they can see you in better quality with
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Riverside FM. So there you go. We're all getting a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: chance to test this out today. Sean. I liked what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we did last week with it, and it came out
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: pretty good, very easy to use.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: So for I'm like the first comment was, hey, the
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: video quality's better.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: So I mean, even if the layman is looking at
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: it and going to qualities better. I know that YouTube
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: and those other places that they can really muck up
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: the algorithm and then the compression and stuff.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: But it looked really good.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You sent me the link to it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Immediately.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Notice a difference from what we had to been uploading
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: the Zoom and I know that Zoom was keeping as
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: it like six forty three twenty or something.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and this is great because I've got the
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: thirty five hundred dollars Cameraight here, I'm running four K,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: so I'm gonna look beautiful.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. So we're we're on kind of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the testing plan for it. Was that a maybe not so.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Beautiful cameras cameras watch your mouth, well I watch your mouth, mat.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But we're you know, we're using the the kind of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a test run for it. Next week. We may even
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: go with the actual four K version to see where
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we It's just the problem is I paid for a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Zoom subscription for a year. It's not up until February,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: so it'd be like I'm gonna have to find some
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: other purpose for it because Zoom is just not delivering.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And when I asked him, I said, wait, we all
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: have HD. Why can't we, you know, get it in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: at least seven to twenty p And they said to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: do that, it's about two grand years.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Just straight up, just straight up tell him you're gonna quit,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Just straight up say I'm moving to a different platform.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: That's cheaper because your product socks.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's just a total tell them that. Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And you know the thing. One one of the other
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: reasons I do like Zoom and I will give it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to Zoom is their AI transcription. So afterwards I could
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: go back and read what the show, what we said
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: about in the show, and it's it's actually put in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: together into synopsis using AI. I don't do it word
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: for word, but I go through it and I use
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it kind of as a as a template. It gives
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: me the ability to edit.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Turns out Riverside does this as well, and it does
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the clips. So again, I'm really happy so far with
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: what I've seen. We'll see what we get as far
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: as the actual with all of us and how it
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: ends up looking. So yeah, let us know what you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the viewer think about this. Matt. The reason you've been
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: out is work.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Work has been a lot, learning a lot, very quickly
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: getting spun up. I really am enjoying it. I like
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: my new coworkers, I love my new shop. I am
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: having a great time. It is just been thoroughly kicking mckeister. Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and you know it's but it's good. I'm learning a
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: lot there. I'm learning a lot with stuff I'm doing
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: on my home lab. I'm I'm in a happy place.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. And I know justin you were
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: at last week because it's just been kind of NonStop
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: for you as your Is you gearing up for a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: new season or the wind down? Is that what finds
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you busy?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I'm gearing up for back to school,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: you know, kids going back to school. We're having to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: do a lot of last little yeah, i know, right,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: last little day camp things. And then there's obviously days
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: where I've just i have to watch them the entire day,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: and you know, having an eight year old kid running around,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: it's uh, you know, yeah, he demands attention all the
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: time unless you're put him in front of a screen.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: So it's a it's a challenge for that. But yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and work side, Yeah, I'm just trying to wind down
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the season where we're getting close to the end of
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the season here and things are busy. We're you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: off season is kind of where we get busy with
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: an it. You know, during the season, it's you can't
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: really do much, you know, you gotta it's pretty much
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: break fix. But when we get through the off season,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: when we're not in operation mode. Yeah, that's kind of
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: when we get busy.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of wondering because you do an it for
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: different groups within an organization, and of course one of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the big things that we're talking about now, we're two
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: months away now from Windows ten end of life? Have
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you getting me? You getting questions from some of your
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: user base? Are they saying, what do I do? Is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: my stuff still gonna work? Is there a misconception that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: suddenly their computers won't work anymore? Or are you making
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: sure everybody's updated? Well, for the most.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Part, we're completely h updated. I mean, there's a there's
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: a few computers that we have to rely on that
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: are Windows ten, but we've paid for the extended support,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: so we have, I believe, until twenty twenty seven before
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: we have to, you know, really start thinking about what
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do here. But for the most part, we're
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: we're on Windows eleven. Now, you know, there's a there's
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of people out there there are still running
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Windows ten. In fact, there's that an article I read
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: about the guy from California suing Microsoft saying that it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: unfairly moving people to Windows eleven. I think his argument
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: was trying to prepare people for the AI model, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you know, not really saying that Windows ten is not
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: a good operating system. He's saying it's a fine operating system.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: But you're just trying to want to push everybody to
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Windows eleven so you can run your AI models and stuff.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: So I don't know that that's gonna be an interesting
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: one to follow to see if that goes anywhere, But
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: in terms of my world, we're pretty much on Windows eleven.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Did anybody think it was strange though, that when Microsoft
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: came out and made the announcement that, oh, well, we're
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: gonna find different routes for those that are still using
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Windows ten and are not able because not everybody can update.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's not a choice for many people. It's just you can't.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You don't have the equipment, you don't have the TPM
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: two point zero, you don't have a suitable processor, just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: not the right situation for you to be able to update.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And then he came out and said, well, we're gonna
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: make it so that we can push security updates, so
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they still can do it, but push security updates, not
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: feature updates, but security updates. If you allow us to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: use one drive and you connect with a Microsoft account. Now,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: if you're like I know most of us, I would
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: think they use a local account. Suddenly now you're gonna
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: have to use a Microsoft account with one drive to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: be able to get that. Or you could pay around
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: thirty bucks and get the support for a year with
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the security updates. Is it make you feel like, wait
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a minute, wait, so you can help us, you can
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: give us what we've paid for.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I think that's what the the guy with the lawsuit
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: is claiming. He's like, you are fully able to keep
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: providing support for Windows ten. You don't want to provide
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: support for Windows ten. So I think that's where this
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: guy's lawsuit lies.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I'm also remembering, like back in the day, when they
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: were doing the initial press junk kits for Windows ten,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: they were like, we are moving we are moving on
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: from Windows eight point one, and there was much rejoicing there.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: We're going to go to Windows ten, and I remember
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: them being like, this is the last operating system from
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Microsoft you will have to buy, because we're just going
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to keep pushing feature updates and security updates and building
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it that way. We're not going to go past Windows ten.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Fast forward to a few years later, they're like introducing
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Windows eleven and everyone's like, wait a minute, you told
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: us we didn't have to do this anymore. This is
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: not a feature update. This is a whole new operating system.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: If we think about it. Windows eleven has been around
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for how long, Like was it four years ago that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: when it came out that it was actually launched eleven?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So I mean we've had all this time and ten
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: has worked fine, eleven has worked fine, So why are
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they forcing this on the people? If they can do
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: security updates for a year, they can definitely give it
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to everybody and without them having to pay the thirty bucks.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So is it corporate greed? That's going to be a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: part of it, especially for companies because we talk about
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that thirty dollars for a company that's thirty dollars per seat,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: If they want to do that, you know, we're in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a situation where we have computers that run specific software,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: specific equipment. They're not saying a word. They haven't said
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: anything about Windows eleven and what's going to be happening
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: past October Now? Some people are saying, well, why you
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: guys even talking about it doesn't really matter. Then it
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: does from a security standpoint, because we still would hope
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that we'd have these security features that you'd be able
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to update. Well, if somebody asked me, is this something
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that malware bites could do? Could it? Did Matt fall
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: asleep or did his camera lock up? They froze? I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: looked at Matt's camera and I'm like, his eyes are closed.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I think he fell asleep. We are all t maybe
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: our listeners are doing the same.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, honestly, Like it froze for a second.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I immediately checked like all my bad and with this fine,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: there's no overhead, I can log into my all my
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: networking gear, and it was like everything's fine. It was
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: just for a second. Riverside FM was just like, no,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Think it's he's and he's gone, Well he'll come back
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in a second, all right. Now, we didn't get a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: what the heck is it doing to him? All right? So, Sean,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: what about you? We didn't get a chance to hear
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: from you, like what you so?
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Well if you want to ask about Windows ten.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: So we were told so the university has a very
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: strict policy on when official support ends you cannot have
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: a device that's ruined that operates this just about campus.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, all right, so they will.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: They will.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: I'm not joking when I say they will come to
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: your office, knock on your door and say where is.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: This device plugged into this switch, plugged into that port.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: It's running Windows ten. That's what they're doing right now.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: They're auditing us. Right now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: We have somebody from IT that's here in our office
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: auditing our entire network stack and checking every computer to
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: make sure it' scott Windows eleven or the most up
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: to date version of whatever Linux version we're running, whatever version.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Of mac OS we're running.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Like, if you can't run the most recent version of
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: mac OS that's been verified or vetted by the university,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: it's gone.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: It's gotta go. Well now, so it's it's pretty wild.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So my question before we had Matt fall asleep, the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: question was could a third party program like malur bites,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: e set or any of those programs help provide that
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: layer of security that Microsoft says, well, you'll lose if
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you don't update to Windows eleven.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: For a layman, yeah sure, yeah, sure, I mean you
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: have people still running XP you still for people running seven.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I mean XP, Yeah, I don't know about that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: There are still people running it because people.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I have seen I have seen. I have seen countless
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: YouTube videos of somebody who fires up a VM running
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Windows XP and as soon as they enabled that network adapter,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: within like thirty seconds, they've got like fifteen pieces of
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: malware viruses just simply being connected to the Internet. Like
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: they don't even go on browse anything. So I highly
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: doubt anyone's actually running XP.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Well that's a good point though, And here's something else too.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: If you run Windows ten and you're not connecting to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the internet, it's just to do something within your network
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that's not connected to the Internet. You really don't have
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to worry about it. At that point you're gonna lose,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna get some feature updates, but at that
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: point you're it's not gonna be too much of a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: security risk. We had Windows XP here at the radio
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: station up until three years ago for doing our music
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and playing our automation. It was a system that Google
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it actually had bought Scott Studios became Google, and then
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of course that's what did it, and it just was
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not connected to the Internet. It was connected networking from
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the studio to the production room and that was about it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So we really didn't have to worry about it, I'll
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: tell you. Making the update to Windows ten was kind
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of sweet. It was nice, just a little better. We're
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: still not connected to the internet, you know, They're just
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: connected within the network and that's it. So, you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I just wonder. I just wonder how many people are
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just are fearful that Windows is going away. I did
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a TV segment on Monday about this, and there's a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: lot of people that are really frightened about it. That
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: but with these two options, it still makes you wonder
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: what the heck is going on that couldn't they just
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: give that to you anyways for the for a price?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I guess, I don't know.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I kind of wonder too about third party companies that
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: they don't make the software anymore. Somebody was using Windows
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: ten and they want to start using Windows eleven and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: they can't update it, and now they're not going to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: be able to use that third party software. I ran
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: into that with Creative Sweet five point five. I couldn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: get it activated anymore.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Speaking of just you know, Internet in general, I mean
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: running an old operating system on the internet. Is is
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: just definitely not something that you should be doing. Uh yeah, No,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: like I said to XP or whatever, you want to
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: keep yourself updated as best as you possibly can. You know, yeah,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I do know people out there are still running Windows seven,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: and I guess Windows seven still gets you know, and
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: that doesn't really get any you know, feature updates. It
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: might get a few security updates or anything, but it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: just going to go the way of XP. I would
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: just say, I mean, just just I mean, we talked
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: about it a couple weeks ago. You know, if you're concerned
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: about having to constantly buy a new operating system over
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: and over and over, you know, do what we talked
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: about a couple weeks ago, run Linux. Yeah, and Linux
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: is getting so much more exposure now. There are more
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: people writing about it, more people talking about it, more
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: people testing it out, showing you know, the different and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: we have told people, Sean, you mentioned this last week
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: on the show, if they have an old computer, what
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: should they do.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Little Linux on it. I mean, you have an older computer,
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: some older with with a little bit of extra effort,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: most older men can also run Linux. I mean they're
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: all just running Intel process. There's anyways is Linux Mint.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: It's super easy. There are tons and tons of guys
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: online to just here's how you install it. You can
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: be up and running in a short period of time faster.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: You can faster than you can with Windows. So I
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: just I highly recommend if you're at least technologically curious
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: about not running Windows, Linux Mint rufus and you're off
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: and running.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Sean, you're kind of the Mac guy out of the group.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I think, I don't know justin You're you're not a
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Mac guy, right, No, So I'm just wondering, Sean, do
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you think this will cause some people to say, em,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and try Mac.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, one hundred percent. So I have a coworker who
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: just said, I'm done with Windows. I'm done.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Loved how the M four chips work, sports, everything we
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: need to do, we're all we mostly have Max at work,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: so he was kind of getting introduced with it there too,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: but he either runs Linux or runs Mac. He just
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: kind of got fed up with Windows eleven. The bloat,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: the ads, the complications of what I think the co
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: pilot stuff, and then the recall portion of it kind
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: of triggered him. In terms of his his vantage point
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: on privacy and security. So I think he kind of
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: got spooked by that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: So much better.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Is recall still a thing though? I mean, is that
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to me? It was like everybody's talking about it, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: then it was like, eh, I think they recalled recall.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I know you could turn it off.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: But Linux, I mean, if you don't like when, I mean,
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: it is what it is. If you if you're used
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: to it, it's it's people are gonna use it no
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: matter what. You're not going to convince the masses to
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: give it up for privacy.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: This is the part where we really needed Matt back
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: in the conversation right here, because he recently just went
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: through the whole process of just getting rid of big
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: tech from his house. I mean, he talked a little
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: bit about in pre show getting rid of all of
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: his Google speakers, is Amazon, Alexa's, there was ness, doorbell,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: you know, all that stuff, because you know, they're just
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter even if you you know, he was
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: telling me privately, he was like, yeah, you know, we
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: turned off the we turned off the microphones on our
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: on our speakers, and we would be having conversations and
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: yet we'd still get ads based on that even though
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the microphones were turned off quote unquote air quotes there
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: turned off. Now, some some listeners may may may not
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: know what you're talking about because some of this technology
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: that we bring into our homes and we we think
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: it's cool to be able to ask a device to
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: play a song for us, or set a timer.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: You know. I I every night, I set I mentioned
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the other day, I set mine to wake up to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a certain song or certain artists every morning, and at
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you know, four fifty in the morning. Uh. And I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: looked at Glory and I said, man, to think we
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: used to do this with an alarm clock, you know,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: or that old AMFM radio Clay you remember those things.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Now you just do it with your voice. But some
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: people don't understand that that stuff that they that they
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: are talking about, suddenly they get ads on their Google
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: accounts or while they're browsing that were stuff that they
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: were talking about. You saw this first, sand justin.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean I'll reiterate what happened
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: a long time ago. I just kind of tested it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I walked around the house and we had an what
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: was at Amazon Echo the Alexa, right, and we had
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: a couple Google speakers, and I'd walk around the house
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and I would just casually mention the words Lamborghini Ferrari Portia,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: you know, just just randomly. I wasn't talking about them.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I would just say the name Lamborghini Ferrari Portsie over
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: and over and over for about three days. And then
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, all my social media accounts, you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: read It and Facebook and whatever, my Google ads all
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: of them were for luxury vehicles.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Wow, and you had not.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Just this past weekend we went to gen Con in Indianapolis,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: which is geeming tabletop dice. Literally all of Klans social
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: media is now dice. In board games, ads, Oliver ads
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: are for dice. Here's where you can get done.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Well, that's to go.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: They track you on your phone.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, I know. I'm just saying.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: This is the simple It's it's all based on geo tracking.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: It's all based on what you've searched for, It's all
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: based on what you know, you're what you're like on
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: your friend's profiles.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: It's it's all tracked, and I mean an algorithm.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: And again it goes back to the old adage. If
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: you're not paying for the product, you are the product
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Google and Amazon. Amazon is a retailer, but for the
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: most part, Amazon and Google are advertising data scraping companies.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: That's how they make their money. They sell your data,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: that's how they get their money. So having these cute
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: little speakers in your home that you can, oh, look
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: at this, I can play a Spotify song, sure, yeah
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: you can. But you're also giving them every piece of
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: your data and and everything that's going on, you know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: in your life. You know, it is a funny story.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: And this has I know we're talking about them tracking you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: This has nothing to do with them tracking you, because
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get it when I mentioned this, but it's
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: it's not not in relation to this. But we you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: my little speaker, I have a Google speaker next to
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: our bed, and I always play relaxing like creek sounds
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: or thunderstorm sounds. I love those. Yeah, And so I'll
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: tell it. You know, hey, you know play you know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: thunderstorm sounds for twelve hours and it'll just on repeat.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: It'll just keep playing like thunderstorm sounds. And a few
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: nights ago, I don't know why, but like I think
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: it was like two thirty in the morning, all of
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: a sudden, the thunderstorm sounds stopped, and it was like, attention, men,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: do you have ED? And I was like, oh my god,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: what like in the middle of the night it decided
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: to play an ad It had never done that before. Really,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the night. It was like, attention, men,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: do you have ED? Come to our clinic.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I've noticed have you noticed it?
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Also?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, So here's the other thing. We talk about our devices.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: One of the devices we have in our homes that
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: we you know, it becomes the cornerstone for entertainment. I'm
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: not talking about your tablet, your desktop, your notebook, your television.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Your television is talking to those advertisers.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Oh app yeah, I use pie hole, you know the
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Raspberry pie.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Does that block some of that TV? Absolutely? It blocks.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Every time my Samsung or LGTV tries to reach out
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: and call home, it blocks it. And I've I've downloaded
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: these these lists that give domains for it to block.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: And so my TV tries so hard to try to
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: contact and call home and say here's what he's been
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: doing with the TV, and it can't do it. Finally,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: after a while, the TV it won't even show any
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: of the apps anymore, and it just it just like
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: becomes a dumb monitor.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Wow. Now can somebody set up high hole pretty easily? Sean?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Did you set that up?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I set it up on my Synology?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, all right, and well it us Is
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: it easy to set up? Can somebody go on line
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and get all all the instructions how to do it?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Because I mean you can buys.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: You have to be I mean, you have to be
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: familiar if you're doing it on as analogy with doctors. Yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: but alling that way and configuring and you know, understanding DNSS,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: and you know, there's a handful of things you have
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: to under have a rudimentary understanding of. There are guides
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: if you're if you like you watching YouTube videos and learning,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: just watch a YouTube video on it and you'll build
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: a figure it out.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not too adi. It's a lot easier if
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: you actually use a Raspberry Pie because basically you can
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: download an entire image, flash it to an SD card,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: pop that SD card into your Raspberry Pie, plug it
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: into your network, and then just simply point all of
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: your devices at that Raspberry Pie as it's DNS server.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Because a lot of people at home, they're using you know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: they're they're likely using Google DNS, which again goes back
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to the adage. We're talking about. Google's tracking you there
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: everything you do on your computer. Every time you go
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: and search for a website, it has to use DNS
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: to try to figure out what is the IP address
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: of that website. While if it's using Google DNS, it's saying, Hey, Google,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: this guy's searching for you know, Kansas City chiefs or
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: whatever it might be, you know, and it's going to
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: start serving you ads based on that.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Now, if somebody's using an antenna, and I know not
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: everybody can do that, are there's no way that they
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: could be tracked that way, is there? If they've switched
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to antenna mode.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: If your TV is a smart TV, it can absolutely
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: track what application you're using on your oh, unless you've
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: turned it to the RF tuner, but most of them
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: have an app that you launched that goes to the
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: digital tuner. You're not, so it's so it's still your
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: TV still knows you're watching. You know, you're not changing
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: it to channel three or channel four, right, you're using
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: the the live TV mode.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Of course, your TV knows that you're doing that.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: It's tracking what how long you've been on e chap,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: what app you switched from, in which app you switched to?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: How long?
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: What? What's your volumes set at? What's your color correction?
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: You know, are you set at the dynamics settings of color?
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Do you have HDR turned on? So it's sending everything.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I'm a little older, so obviously I probably pump up
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the volume a little more. Got close captioning turned on
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: so they could tell, Oh, this guy's older, let's pump
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: them ads for you know, hearing aids, yeah, or arthritic
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: pain relief, that kind of thing.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yep.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Wow, the world revolves around commercialism. All right, we got
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to take a break. We come back with more of
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: tech talk Radio. A big change was announced. People that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: relied on a way to get connected to the Internet
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to do that anymore. We'll
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: talk about that coming up with tech talk Radio. I'm
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Andy Taylor.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: And I'm justin let me. We'll be on the web.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: You can find us there at tech talk radio dot com.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: We'll be right back now back to tech talk Radio.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: All right, So before the break, we kind of teased
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: upon this, but a major change is coming.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's a little bit sad.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit nostalgic. AOL the old Internet that
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of people used to use.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: But Whmerica can online.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like back in nineteen ninety nine we had over,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: you know, eighteen million subscribers. I used to work for
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: America Online at the call center. They are now ending
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: their dial up internet service. Wow, that's that is, they
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: say at the end of September.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Who knew that Skype would be killed off before AOL?
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, good point. Never even thought about that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna miss the you know, I mean, it's
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: gonna go down in history, but I'm just gonna miss
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the old dial up sound.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's screeching. Yeah screen.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: We used THETI but now we all, now we all
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: it's nostalgic. You know.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Well I used to I don't know about you guys
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: with dial up though. I used to connect to BBS's,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the bulletin board systems, and those were a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: lot of fun, you know, especially for us in morning radio.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: We had a BBS where we connect, share notes and
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: do all this stuff, and that was a blast. But
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: AOL was just a great way for your listeners to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: reach out and connect with you as well. But now
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: one thing to make sure of, A well is not
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: going away, and it has not gone the way apparently
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: AOL is still there. I still have an AOL email
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that I checked the other day. It was like, so
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: we still you still can use AOL. It just your
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: dial up. You won't be able to dial up into it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: My earliest Internet memories are tael netting into a luminet.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Bbs, oh my gosh, which.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: They still are available. You can still get them.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: And I actually have a pet project that I'm working
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: on that is building my own bbs.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Really like the old school bbs. Yes, wow, that would
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: be kind of cool.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: It's it's it's a I actually bought the domain from
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: the original owners of it that ran the bbs in
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: my hometown, and I've been talking to them and we're
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: in the process of rebuilding it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: So now, what would it be? What would you do
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: with it?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I mean I would host I would host archival content
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: from my hometown.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Now a lot of people go on social media to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: do that, but this would be kind of nostalgic and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a different way.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: To to It'd be a way for those who want
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: to find it can find it, a creative way for
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: people to get on the internet, search it out. If
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: you're interested in this kind of thing, it's gonna be
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: a very niche thing, right, it's gonna be. But if
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: you're interested in it, if you know about it, it's
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: gonna be a cool way to log in, see what
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: it is, maybe have a conversation, maybe post some content,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: maybe back up some stuff.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: It's it's gotten some cool.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it's very nostalgic for me because, like
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: I said, it's my very earliest memories of connecting to
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: the internet.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So oh wow cool. You know. The thing is, I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: was just stupid thinking a second ago, thinking well, there's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: no ice supports anymore, because that's how we always use.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Somebody talking did what was Yeah? That was creepy.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: I heard it in the background.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what was that? You turned around
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a little scared. It's wants to participate in the show.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: We were talking about Google, you know, I was thinking
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: about there's no remember the internal motives. We all had
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: three hundred bod but there there were external motives. I
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: wonder if motems are well, obviously people are using it
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to connect to the net, to connect to AOL. Now
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: it's gonna go away. What are these people going to
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: use that for? Can they still like AOL.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Is the only service?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: There are other deal providers that have services still, but realistically,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: starlink it's a little bit more money, but it is
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: significantly more reliable. They've only had two major outages over
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: the last year and a half two years that have
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: been resolved within thirty thirty six hours or so. Realistically,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: that's your best option for a way better bandwidth.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there are other smaller local a lot of like
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: co ops that serve like farm communities and stuff that
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: will provide you with dial up, but a lot of them.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: You know, my mom lives in a very very small town,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: a town of probably less than a thousand people, and
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: they actually have a local co op, which means it's
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: kind of owned by everybody that actually provides cable internet
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: and cable TV. So even in a small little town
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: like a thousand people, that can serve that kind of area.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: But then when you go out of town, you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: to a certain range, I don't know what the range is.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Then yeah, you're left with you know, being on cellular,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: cellular internet or star Link or possibly dial up that
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: that company does provide dial up to some of the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: farm communities around, but people not able.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Too, and people forget too.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: As as the providers jump higher to hire take the
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: five the five G, those frequencies, those frequencies don't travel
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: as far. So now you have more cell phone towers
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: and shorter businesses because you're trying to serve It's like
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: fifteen hundred feet line of sight from a tower that
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: serves five.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: G ultra wide.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: So if you're looking to get that ultra high bandwidth
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: from a cell phone plan, you're gonna have to just
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: accept that you're gonna see more cell phone towers.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering, like when you go with options that we
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: all think about how we have gone on this Internet thing.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And I remember moving from Coachella, California to here in Tucson.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I was so excited because we had you know, it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: was a faster connection and it was so exciting. We're
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: getting right now as I speak in the front yard,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: my front yard's dug up because Wired is coming through
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and laying the fiber. I took a picture of the cables.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I'll put it up on our blog of the cable
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: line because they're all gone. So I took off one
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: of the cones and took a picture of the cable
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: line itself as they're fishing it up the street. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: don't know, is fiber gonna be really something that I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: would say, Okay, time to leave Exfinity and go with
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: this wired fiber.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: I did it one year ago, right I left Exfinity.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Metro Net came around, put flyers hundred ours in six months.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: We're gonna have one gig service. Great, perfect, It was
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: reasonably priced. It was only eighty bucks a month for
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: one gig. That's really good.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: I was paying sixty five for three hundred down but
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: god knows what my speed was up with Exfinity, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: so I went with metro Net.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: It's been great. Maybe one outage since we've gotten it.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: The downside. About two weeks ago, he announced they got
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: bought by T Mobile.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Ooh, so what happened?
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Don't know what.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: That means for me? Am I going to be a
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: T Mobile customer now because I've been getting inundated with Hey,
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: you now have T Mobile because you have Metronet, come
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: come buy ourself.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know T Mobile has been in Green Valley.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I know that that's been one of the options for people.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And that's the downside to these companies that we had.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Actually it was a different company completely that was going
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to first be coming in here and then all of
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a sudden the work stopped because they were going up
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the street marketing where they were going to be doing
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: all the work, and then it stopped. And that about
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a month later it was announced Wired was taking it over.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing. You never know. They might come
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: in and be there for a while. One thing you
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: can say about Exfinity is that it's been there for
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a while now. Their new ad campaign or if you
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: guys have seen this is you know the WiFi is
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: booming because they're talking about that you can have an
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Exfinity account and connect to Wi Fi wherever you're at,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you know WiFi. Exfinity is my my wireless provider. Now
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I switch from Verizon to Exfinity. But now I don't
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen if I decide to go
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: with this wired service.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: I'm just going to say I caution against like I'm
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: always skeptical about this and skeptical about that connect anywhere
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: wirelessly because it's so shady, I think, because you never
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: know what the access point is when you're connecting wirelessly.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an infinity access point, but some people's infinities
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: in their homes.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Just like Amazon tried to do with Amazon Sidewalk, they
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: allow people to turn on their access points so you
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: can connect in areas that may or may not have
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: wireless coverage.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: So you don't know where your data is going.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's protected and to end decryption, but that's you
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: never know who's sniffing that.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Thank You can go into your settings and you
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: can say that you opt out that you don't want
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to be able to share your connection.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: But either way, realistically, what users doing that?
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, there's not a lot.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: I mean that's a lot.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: There are some people that are like tinfoil hat and
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: we'll go in and turn all this stuff off, but
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: the generic user is not turning that.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Off, right, Okay, it's the same thing.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with that. As soon as I heard that,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: you know, Xfinny was doing that kind of thing where
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: you can use everybody else's internet and be able to
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: just connect to their internet, I just thought, Nope, not
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: not a chance. I'm not letting somebody connect to my
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Internet because then I don't know what kind of stuff
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: they're searching for.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: They could be searching for illegal content, downloading illegal content,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: and then I'm gonna be the one to get pinged
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: for it because it was on my account. Yeah, it
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: was on your IP yep, and it was on my IP.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to do that now, you know you
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: We talked about fiber just a little bit. I've had
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I've had fiber for ten years, over ten years. We
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: really got fiber as soon as we moved into this house.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: It was from CenturyLink. But then just last year century
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Link spun off and they they divided their company, so
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: century Link Lumen will first off Lumen Yeah Lumen, Yeah,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: you know, yeah, they went Lumen, so it was Lumen
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: and then they spun off Lumen to the commercial side
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: and created Quantum Fiber for residential. It's still the century
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Link Lumen infrastructure and there and their their their glass.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: When I say their glass, I mean their fiber because
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: fiber is made of glass. It's still their glass, but
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: it's now through a company called Quantum Fiber. And I've
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: had nothing but great luck with Quantum Fiber and Central Link.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I've had maybe three outages in the past ten years,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: so it's actually worked really well for me, So I
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: like it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Now, Matt, you're you're running fiber too, aren't you? I am,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: And how's your experience been?
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I think, like Justin, I've had maybe a handful of
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: outages in the five years I've lived here.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: It's about it versus what you had before, h versus.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: What I've had before, and in other places it's just
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: not been nearly as reliable. But Century Link and now
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Quantum here where I'm at, the fiber experiences just been
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: absolutely phenomenal.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Now, both both you and Justin, You're you're in a
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: major market. Though you're in a major city, Denver is
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Let's face it, it's one of the big cities. Is
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: there one that stands out as far as a provider
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: out of all of them? Justin? Are you using that provider?
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean that that's in a major market. Yeah,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: well yeah, Quantum Quantum Central Link is is the biggest,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: probably besides Exfinity. But again with the fiber, I mean,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Exfinity does not provide fiber. If you got you know,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Comcast business then yeah, you can get Fiber, but Exfinity
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: is their cable cable internet, and cable internet inherently is
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: not the best because you may get great download speeds,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: but your upload speed is horrible because you're also sharing.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: It's just the technology. It's the technology of cable internet
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: sharing it. You're sharing it with everybody else. And also
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: you're also sharing your download. So at thet at peak
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: times of the evening, you're not going to get the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: same download you would if you were doing it at
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: you know, two in the morning. Whereas Fiber it's dedicated.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: It's dedicated up and down to each person everywhere.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Now, as far as motives, where we're at right now
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: with the technology, I remember, you know, every time there
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: was some kind of increase, Oh you gotta you gotta
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: have this motive you have the doxis three, doxas two,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, where are we at now? And then Ethernet
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: are we in Cat five of Cat seven? Now? Like
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Wi Fi seven? Where are we at with that?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: So you've got Wi Fi seven is is the new
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: current Wi Fi standard. Uh and the big jump between
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: six and seven seven was dedicated to just punching as
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: much speed through as possible. So I mean, looking at
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: mine right now, I have I'm connected via Wi Fi seven,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: and I'm connected on the two point four gig, the
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: five gig, and the six gigahertz band all at the
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: very same time. So I'm using as much as I
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: can to get as fast as I can. According to
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: my computer, which is breathing again for right now, I
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: should be getting like two point three gigs up and
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: down across Wi Fi seven. Now, what I just read
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: the other day an article is even though Wi Fi
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: seven has now been kind of finalized and the standard
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: has been pushed out, they're already working on Wi Fi eight,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And the difference is seven was just make it go fast.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Eight is okay, We've got to make it go fast down,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: make it reliable, make it reachable, make it powerful. So
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: now we've moved from focusing on speed to on signal
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: quality and signal penetration, which has always been Wi Fi's downfall.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: All right, we got to take another quick break. We
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: come back with tech Talk Radio. I want to find
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: out about, if we don't lose you again, your home
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: lab and what that's all about, and why somebody could
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: create this and the reason behind it. With more of
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean to Weird,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I'm Matt Jones.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: And I'm Justin. Let me send us an X at
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: tech talk Radio. We read back, and now back to
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: tech talk Radio.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: One of the big things when it comes to gaming,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: of course, was announced It's Gaming Fun the Nintendo Switch too,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and I don't know anybody that got one except for
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Justin so far wanted to get your thoughts.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I was lucky, I think. I mean,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously it came out and everybody you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: grabbed it off the store shelves right away, and I thought, okay, well,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: this is going to run the same way as it
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: did with the PS five and the Xbox you know,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: series S and X, where I was going to have
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: to wait, you know, a year for it to come out.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: But I was actually running by a best Buy one morning.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I was on the way to work and I stopped
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: in and I just said, hey, you guys got any
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: switch toos And They're like, yeah, we got like seventy
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: five of them, and I was like, oh wow, okay,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: I'll take one. So I bought the bundle that came
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: with the Mario Kart and then also I bought the
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Donkey Kong game that that was extra, so I want.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: To get think it was.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I think it was like after tax it was like
• 37:58

• 38:01
  Speaker 3: mean it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Was it, was you, know pretty.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Expensive it was For, eric you, know he'd been begging for.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: It he's been wanting it so so, bad and he
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: really really wanted it and we gave it to him
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: and he was crying and he just he was so
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: so happy and wanted to play. It and, yeah he
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: played it for like a day really and then, WELL
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: i mean he still plays it every once in a,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: while but he's still, like you, know super hooked on you,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Know minecraft and things like. That so it's like IF
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: i take him out to go play games or, Whatever i'm, like,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: hey let's, go let's go over To bruise and let's
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: play some. Games you want to bring the switch or

• 38:36
  Speaker 3: know every single. Time, Computer so it's kind of, like,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: well you, know it's so.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Don't get me.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Wrong the switch too is. Good the screen is much,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: bigger the quality of the graphics much, better the controllers
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: are much. Better THE i like how they just click
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: on now instead of having to slide them on and.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Off that's really. Good the the the kickstand is obviously
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: way much. Better so overall it's a great new. SYSTEM
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: i just think, there's just as any new console it comes,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: out there's not a lot of games for.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: It.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Now it still does run the Original switch, games and
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: some of The switch games are actually, run you, know
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: with increased a, resolution like they're, upscaled but for the most,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: part you, know most of the games are just kind
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: of run at the standard. Thing and they're coming out
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: with some. REMAKES i, mean they're coming out with A
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: legend Of, zelda you, know all the ones that were
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: for The, switch Original, Switch they're like remaking them for
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: The switch to And i'm just, like, yeah that's kind
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: of more of a. Gimmick SO i think it's gonna
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: be time will, tell let's see what kind of games
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: come out for. IT i Think Metro prime four is
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: going to come. OUT i think there's gonna be a
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: New Smash. BROTHERS i think that. MIGHT i THINK i
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: heard a rumor about. That but as it, stands it's
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: a good, system but there's just not a lot.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Of games for. It, well The Donkey kong won is
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the one BECAUSE i used to Play Donkey kong the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: arcade game AND i loved. It it was the best,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: one you, know going up the adders trying to get
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: to get to the top and save the. Princess And
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: i've Not i've not found found a stand up for that.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Either so just to be able to Play Donkey.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: KONG i think this is not the same kind Of
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Donkey kong that you would think. This This Donkey kong
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: is more Like Super Mario. Galaxy it's open. World you're
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: smashing through, things you're smashing into you, know the, ground
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: and you're digging your own tunnels in the. Ground it's
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: it's kind of like it's it's it's a different style
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: of open. World it's very very. Interesting i've never seen
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: anything like. It you can kind of forge your own
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: way through the. Level you don't have to run along
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: the beaten path as per. Se you can literally punch
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: your way through a wall and then connect up with
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: the next part of the level way down the. Line
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: so it's kind of like this giant, sphere uh inside
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: of a, game and it's completely destructible and every sort
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: of every sort of, way and you can just kind
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: of complete the level how you want to complete the.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Level so that's kind of interesting about, it but it's
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: also it's a little confusing unless you know what you're.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Doing. WELL i know that you have to bounce, out
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: but before you, DO i wanted to tell you A
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Turtle beach made an announcement if you saw, this they're
• 41:07

• 41:25
  Speaker 1: bucks making it very. Affordable so you've invested the money
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: in The Switch, too and now you can have a
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: headset to go with. It so also that works out pretty. Good, anyway,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: listen hopefully you'll be able to join us next week
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: BECAUSE i know you you got to bounce, out but
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: now we want to find out about the home. Lab
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: so justin thanks, again And, matt can you tell us
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: about your home?
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Lab, absolutely my wayward little, CHILD i will be on
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: all that BEFORE i have such a love hate relationship
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: with this thing at this. Point, like so back WHEN
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: i first started, THIS i was, Like i'm going to
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: use this as a learning. Experience i'm going to repurpose old,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: hardware and kept going through iterations Where i'd, like get
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: to a certain, point break the whole thing have to.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Restart like at one POINT i was, Like i'm going
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: to do this via ansible and terror. Form it's gonna work, great,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: right and THEN i pushed an update that destroyed the
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: entire Open ssh stack across every machine AND i could
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: no longer log into any of. Them, ooh like all,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: right so we're going to start, again And i'm going
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: through and going, through and THEN i started. REALIZING i was, like,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: this this one node is being really really, weird and it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Was it was like a ten year old. MACHINE i
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: ran some checks on, it and it was it was.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Dying so the lab now currently consists of A lenovo
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Think Center mini an Old Dell. OptiPlex i got both
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: of those Off. eBay they're refurbished for really. INEXPENSIVE i
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: don't want to say cheap. Inexpensive there's an Actual eBay
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: store The Nevada school for The blind and they referb
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: hardware and sell it, out and it's a way they make.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Money but it's great hardware at a really low. Cost
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: so it's those two nodes and now A synology Nass
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: synology nine three plus with four drives two or fourteen,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: terabytes two or three, terabytes two to one terabyte solid
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: state drives for a, pool and thirty two gigs. Around
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: SO i made this little box. Beefy and the REASON
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: i did all this is because NOW i have gotten
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: rid of all of The nest devices in my. HOUSE
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: i have replaced them with Either bluetooth speakers or real link.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: CAMERAS i now have living on one of those little
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: machines is A docker container running this cool program Called.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Frigate frigate ingests all of the streams from those cameras
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: and saves all that data to My sonology. Drive so
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: it's kind of the equivalent of you, know The nest,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: monitoring AND i can access that internally or. Externally and
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: then my project for this week IS i have a
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: replacement for one of those machines coming. In that's a
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: bit beef. Here along with these are really cool. Chips
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: they're really hard to. Find Their google coral chips and
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: their machine learning, chips and those will go into the new,
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: machine which has kind of an ANTIQUATED, gpu But i'll
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: be setting up AN ai detection, system so the machine
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: learning chips will handle so, sorry THE gpu will handle
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: decoding the frames from the streams, right and then those
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: chips will actually use machine learning to identify like, cars license,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: plates people, faces things like, that and frigate will tie
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: in To Home assistant and then push all those alerts to.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Me so if somebody comes to your door that it,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: recognizes it would, say, oh this is Your Aunt betty
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: coming to.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Visit and because of HOW i have the camera set,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: up it would be Like Aunt betty is walking up
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: your front. Drive Aunt betty just rang the, Doorbell Aunt
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: betty just pulled a hatchet out of her, purse And
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Aunt betty looking through some things With Uncle, joseph and
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: you should probably call the.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Cops oh, man this is. Cool so you're really training
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: your OWN ai to, do so you're not counting on
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: all these other. Experiences it Is MATT'S. Ai, yes that's.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Kind of where we're starting with. It and THEN i
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: was using CHAT gpt as kind of my second brain
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: AND i was, like, hey what.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Else could we do with?
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: This Like i've got all this, Equipment like how much
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: farther can we push? This So i'm going to start
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: installing my OWN llm on, there my own large language,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: model you, know grab some of the open source, ones
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: AND i really want to drive to the original idea
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: of a smart, home like where you you do have
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: all these features that we have in smart homes now
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: through Like google Or alexa or who Or apple or.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Whoever BUT i want to own all the data there you.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Go and this all came about WHEN i was upgrading
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: the home network AND i installed A unify Sorry Ubiquity
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Unify cloud, gateway AND i looked at some of the
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: stats AND i was, like how AM i uploading sixty
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: gigs of data To google a?
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: Day?
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Boa and THEN i looked AND i was, like all
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: These nest cameras are constantly pumping all that. FOOTAGE i was,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: like and as soon as it goes up, THERE i
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: don't own it. Anymore that's. True, Yeah and there's a
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: there's actually there was a news article just the other
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: day that came out That ring said that they are
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: just going to allow law enforcement access to footage that
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: they hold without a warrant because it's their footage even
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: though it's from your house and your. Device the terms
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: of service say that when it's, uploaded that's now their
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: footage and they can allow access as they. Please so
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: they're going to give warrantless information to surveillance footage from
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: all those cameras that they have to law. Enforcement and
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the MOMENT i saw, THAT i was, like not THAT
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: i have anything.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: To, hide but, No i've Had i've had law enforcement
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: come to the house Because i'm one of the FEW
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: i think that has a camera system that is visible
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: from the street there and they've come asking if they
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: could look at my, footage you, Know AND i mean
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: that's something that the law enforcement they, yeah they want
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: to be able to do. That so very interesting how
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: that's gonna work? Out? Now has this been kind of
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: a pain to set? Up do you get help in
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the coating on? This so.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: It has been a titanic pain to set Up, Initially
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: the biggest change was honestly WHEN i got this synology
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: in there.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: There.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Uh their container management solution is very intuitive and made
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: things a lot, easier especially with like intra container networking
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: was SOMETHING i kept tripping up on.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: For THE it.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: People just remember if it's NOT, dns it absolutely IS.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Dns SO i kept HAVING dns, issues but CHAT gpt
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: was helpful in walking me through some some definite stumbling.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Blocks my My yamel game for yamal files has definitely
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: gotten a lot, STRONGER uh and just my my General
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: linux And docker. Knowledge it's been a great learning. Experience
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: at this, Point i've got a unified cloud, GATEWAY i
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: have a core. Switch the whole house is Wired cat
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Six cat SIX. A i've got two point five gig
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: edge switches in three different places WHERE i need wired.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: USAGE i upgraded the access points To UNIFY u seven,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: pros so those all have a two point five gig
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: uplink to the two point five gig. Switch so that's
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: the networking, stack and THEN i ran through the the
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: home labs stack. Earlier BUT i basically have a small
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: to medium grade enterprise set up in my house that's
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: way overpowered for WHAT i. Need and Tonight i'm going
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: to install A minecraft server just BECAUSE i.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Can oh, nice, nice could you host your own server
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: for outside? Connections, absolutely.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: There are several things That i've set up that you
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: KNOW i can access OUTSIDE i actually one of them
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: IS i did set up my OWN plex, server so
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: that has been. GREAT i, know hypothetically one could use
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: us net to populate THAT plex server with. Material again purely,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: hypothetically But i've got a couple of different programs that
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: are all all interconnected VIA api. Calls so you, know
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: IF i want, to you, know dump a file in,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: somewhere it grabs it from a, monitor file, location renames,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: it moves it to the proper, place indexes, it uploads
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: it To. Plex Like I've i've had a lot of
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: fun and there's a lot more THAT i want to still. Do,
