  Speaker 1: The following program is produced by the tech Talk Radio
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: network Learning the Cable Guy, and you're listening to tech
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: cup Radio. Welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird, I'm Matt Jones,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm justin leme Man. It's good to see everybody.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It's been a while, so we've been able to just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: all get together, you know, Memorial Day and.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Jobs and the end of the school year, graduations.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, stress to kill an elephant. We've all been busy, right, Yeah,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I know, I know it is. I know it is,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and a lot's been happening with each one of us.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Have been doing different things.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Matt's good to see you. You've been focused on some
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: things and now you're working. You're working on your home lab, right. Yeah.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So when I was going through my my unemployment phase,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: fun employment, fun employment, I was like, Okay, we'll try
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: putting the home lab back together. And I tried kind
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: of a couple of different ways, but the iteration I've
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: settled on. I haven't pushed anything to my home lab yet.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I've got three machines, one as a ton of storage
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: in it and the other two are just you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: beef your workstation machines. But I've been doing a ton
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: of coding for it. Actually, I decided this time, instead
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: of trying to touch and do everything, I'm playing with
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Terraform and a sable. So I've been building a whole
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: bunch of Terraform scripts and playbooks, getting antsible set up,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: putting in all the variables and the instructions. I haven't
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: hit go yet, but ideally when this is done, I'll
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: have everything uploaded get labs so I can share it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: But ideally, when I have everything coded the way I want,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I'm able to just hit go and it will deploy
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: it to all three of these machines for the setup
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: that I want, and then if I want to make
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: changes or add stuff in the future, I just add
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: additional files and playbooks to it. It's been a really
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: good learning experience. I've only wanted to throw my laptop
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: at the wall twice, which is a marked improvement from
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: last time, where I said something in chat GPT came
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: back with okay, I understand, while I might be in AI,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: remember Matt, words can hurt.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: No, it didn't, did it? Really?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I wiped out the entirety of my AI goodwill in
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a five minute, rage fueled type fest. And at that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: point my wife was like, maybe we should try this
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: a different way.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You're going to be the first to go when the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: II takes over. Yeah, that's fine.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I don't want to stick around for the terminator saga.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Just take me out in the front.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of interesting because we think about this.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: There was a study not long ago about parents that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: are trying to teach their kids to be more polite
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to AI say please, say thank you, and all of that,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and they're working on that to get their kids to be,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you know, more respectful. And you know, I had people
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I've talked to you who said, oh, yeah, my AI
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is a buddy. They think it's their buddy. They feel
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like they're having a conversation with it, and it's you know, saying, hey,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you're doing a great job. I love what you're doing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And they've told me that, yeah, if you kind of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: feel like my AI is my buddy.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Which is funny because Sam Altman, founder of Open AI,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: he was in an interview i want to say, like
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: a month or two ago and he actually told people
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: stop saying please and thank you to the AI. It
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: cat like pleases and thank yous are costing millions of
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: dollars every single time.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It is an AI.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You do not need to be polite to it, my
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: brother in technology, have you watched any dystopian movie?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Any of them? Ye yea.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I do not need my rumba becoming sentient and being like, hey,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you remember that time you kicked me out of the way.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I do, and thus that's why falling down those stairs. Yeah,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I've armed myself with little razor blades.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: We actually named our room our room but Dobby because
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you always get like the alerts, and when we named
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it that you get the alerts.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's like Dobby has stuck on a cut and Dobby
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: has fallen down the stairs, and I'm like, Dobby's an idiot.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We've seen AI develop and I know we've talked about Groc,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: which Justin has been using, and I don't know if
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you're still liking it. A lot can change in a month.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: In one month, you could go from loving and AI
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: loving a software and then you can hate it, Like
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the month later, are you still using GROC? I still
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: love it? You know, I mean I bounce back and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: forth between other ones chat GPT and you know, actually
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it's funny that you mentioned you know how you love
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it one day and don't. Yeah, you know, chat Gypt.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: For me, it feels like chatchy BT got rolled back
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: uh a previous a much much much earlier previous iteration
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: because it's does not give it anywhere near the answers
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it used to. And that's I mean, that's saying a lot.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, open Ai is supposedly the biggest one out there,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but you know when I go to when I go
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to GROC and I ask it something, and I love
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the fact that GROC does not have any limits on
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: its knowledge base right Like I could literally just say
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: what's the temperature in Tokyo right now? And it will
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: tell me the temperature in Tokyo, like it's real time data. Yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you know, whereas chat ubt's like, well, you know, Mike
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: cut off is September of twenty twenty four, Does it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: really do that? I haven't had to do that to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: me yet, you know, It's it's ridiculous. And then even
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: if you ask it something like what historical battle took
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: place in World War two at this place, I don't
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know the ms you do that and I can't give
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you that, amswer. What would you consider when it comes
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to not being very knowledgeable to being probably one of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the lowest when it comes to AI, because I mean
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Amazon is now pushing this smarter Alexa so rufus. Yeah
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: if you if you want to use that, you can't.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: As far as shopping has been terrible, I mean, Amazon
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: is way too late to the party. First off, they're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they're they're their AI is gonna is gonna Apple Intelligence.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Apple Intelligence is gonna fail. It's gonna ruin Apple. I mean,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: thank god, finally something's gonna ruin And this is this
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: is what just a few days ahead of their their
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Worldwide Developer conference. That's gonna be their big thing, you know. Yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of course it has been their big thing for the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: past four years.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: They've done nothing. They've done nothing with it. Yes, And
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: it was like hey, appletal just came out. It was
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: they said, Hey, it's gonna be They touted it like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be just like Chat, GPT, it's gonna be
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: able to do all these these They rolled it out
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: with ioas eighteen. It stunk. I tried it for like
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a day and then immediately turned it down. It's just off.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: It's just not even on my phone anymore.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Microsoft co pilot sucks. Uh, Meta, I avoid
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: co Pilot. I don't know why. I just want to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: avoid it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Everybody they keep trying, they keep trying to jam it
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: down your throat though, Yeah, just like just try to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: jam it in.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I never thought of that. It's just you're right, it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: just like Clippy. Remember when you tried to use Office,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Clippy was always there, And that's kind of like what
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: looks like you're trying to make an Excel spreadsheet? Would
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you like help no.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Or get away? Or like the puppy in Windows XP.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I remember that one. There was a down. Look, we've
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: got three major players in the A industry, all right,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: We've got chatch BT open Ai, we got x Aies Grock,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and we got uh the Claude Okay the company that
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: may makes Claude. Isn't it anthropic? Yeah yeah, drop yeah yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Those are the three major ones. Everybody else, even the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: major tech players Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, they're all they're
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: all losing like big time.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: But here's what.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Here's what. Here's an example of something that I did
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: with Grock. I I recently went to it and I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: asked it as quite now, I'm not going to get
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: into the details. It's more of a personal situation. But
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I asked it a question about my cat, Oh okay,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and it referenced something and says, well, based on what
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you told me about seven months ago, it sounds like
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: your cat might have you know, this issue or whatever. Wow,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and it it's it's learning from me and it knows
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: my previous conversations with it, whereas open ai you're like, hey,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: remember I talked to you on my cat? It has
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: blah blah and it's like, wait, what cat? I don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: understand what are you talking about? Like x Xai's grock
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is by far my favorite and it is the best
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: AI out there.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Open Ai just recently made a change exactly regarding what
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Justin is talking about. The memories were tied to each
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: individual thread, so if you wanted to like have a project,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: you had to put everything in that one project for
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: its reference.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It all there. They just made memories global to your account.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, so now it will start remembering everything. The
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: one I've got beef with is Gemini Google Google gems.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I forgot about Gemini.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I used to love the Google Assistant on
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: my phone. I still was, and I got forced over
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: to Gemini and the other day I was like, hey,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: set a one hour timer. It used to be all
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I had to do all my phone was you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: say the trigger phrase, which I'm not because it's right
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: here and now yell at me. And I was like, hey,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: so one set a one hour timer. Comes back a
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: few seconds later.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I found a website where you can set timers to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: remind you, no, you tard, You've got it in the system.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Just I just and it does it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: And then I thought it was like maybe it was
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: a goof, And I was like, okay, set a one
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: hour timer. And it was like again, I found a
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: great website. And I was like, I am too angry today.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: There's a setting pulling this. There's a setting in your
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: phone that you need to turn off that tells it
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to search Gemini or search the web. First. Yeah, when
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you give it a command Rufus, it gets go back
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to Rufus Rufus. And I decided to give it a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: shot because been purchasing stuff to use for different projects
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I was doing, and I would ask rufus and every
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: answer was like it knew nothing. It gave me no information,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and I thought, okay, well it's maybe I'm trying to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: help it's learning, But it didn't seem like it was
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: learning at all. So yeah, no, I'm not a fan
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of rufus. Like you said, Amazon is late to the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: game on this one. Do we really need it? I mean,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I'm getting sick of the point. Just recently, Lee van Cleef,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: do you guys remember Lee van Cleeff. Lee van Cleef
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: was an actor. He worked with Clint Eastwood, who's still
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: with us. It just recently celebrated and he had that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: this real you know, tough looking faces something that good. Yeah,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one he was.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: He died three years after I was born.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, somebody posted a photo of him, so Sean probably
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: does not remember him. Sean, you need to watch some
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of the Good the Bad, the Italian Westerns. They called
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: him spaghetti Westerns, which were great. But somebody posted a
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: photo of him the other day on Facebook celebrating his
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: one hundred and first birthday, holding a birthday cake. I thought, damn,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and then I realized, wait a minute, wait a minute,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and people started saying it he died back like you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: said Sean, you know in eight December sixteenth, Get there,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I was getting the people are posting a photo of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: him supposedly at one hundred and one. The photo looks
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: somewhat realistic, but it still has that uncanny valley. But
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the fact is people will just look at it and assume, oh, yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that's real. People need to stop using AI for everything now.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Not only that, but Matt mentioned Gemini. Gemini has now
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: has got this new Viva vo Vo three or Vivo
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: three or whatever it is. It's the video generation one.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Did you see the post on Reddit about how churches
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: are now using the video stuff to appeal to a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: younger audience, And it's literally a I uh a video
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of like, for instance, one example Moses splitting the seas
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and he's walking around doing a selfie and he's like no, yeah, no,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Right here? Oh man, we're acrossing
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the desert right now. And then there's another one with
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus on the cross. He's like, yo, your gen he
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: is about to be b r b oh or like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: David is like, yeah, it's your boy, David. Right here.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm about to go fight Goliath. Yeah, I'm gonna get
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: this guy. And they're using AI video to do this
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to hope to reach a younger audience. Yeah, but I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: mean it's telling these you know, these biblical stories if
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you will. But it's that's just one example of it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: There's there's so many of these videos out there that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: are being generated by AI and people are thinking this
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is yeah and it's not real. But the thing is
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: is it's not just a video. The characters in the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: video are speaking. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, you can't tell
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the difference. And that's a I generate. It's not a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: voice actor. It's it's all everything. Everything is generated by
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a you know. And now I've seen I've seen some
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of the videos that have been posted that are feel
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: good videos with Jesus and kids and pets, and those
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: are like, Okay, I understand.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: It is a I.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But when they're trying to do this whole like they're
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: today talking in today's terms or listening to today's music, Like,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: come on, guys, you're pushing it a little too far. Yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: this this you gotta go out and read it and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: look up, like, uh, I'll have to see if I
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: can find it. But like church, AI church, whatever, Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. I saw it earlier on Reddit and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, watch it and I was like, Wow,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: this is what we're getting into now. Yeah, oh boy,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: AI is so the worst. I think we all agree
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be. Is it gonna be Apple? Is
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that gonna be the worst one?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Do you think?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Or is it the Alexa? You know?
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I think Rufus and Apple Intelligence are currently they're both
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: currently racing to mediocrity. I mean honestly they Apple Intelligence
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: is so behind the curve on it, and Rufus is
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: kind of the same way, like they rested on their laurels.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: They were like, we did Alexa. We did it first, dude.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Apple is literally going to do what Apple does. They're
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: gonna wait for the biggest one to come out. They're
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: gonna copy it and they're gonna add emojis to it
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and say, look at what we did, we made it
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: so much better. iOS twenty six for iPhone they say
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: next week, which is weird because I thought I just
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: updated to eighteen point five is what I have online.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So they're doing it now based on the year, kind
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of like Microsoft did with you know, Windows ninety five,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Windows ninety eight. They're now jumping in. Honestly, I think
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it's just a way because there's just like people are
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: gonna sit there and go, wait, iOS eighteen means it
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: came out in eighteen eighteen eighty. Yeah. Well, I mean
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that's last.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Way into the Denopers conference to an idea of maybe
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you can hint at why they're changing the name structure.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be doing it on Monday, this coming Monday
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: for those that are tuning in on this Saturday. Uh.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And they say there and they do this every year
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: every time they put out an update. They're saying it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the biggest ever software rebranding. One thing they're promising no
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: longer battery life gonna be one of the key features,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: which I don't know. Also, they're just not going to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: lock down the batteries anymore.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Right on the biggest change ever since last year. If
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: they say it every single.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait. I can't wait till Apple just fails
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: as a company. I just don't want to fail, No
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I do. They're just complete trash. Everything they do is true. Man,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you're being harsh.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I dude, come on, you know
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: me for how many years?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I know? But I gotta say. I have an iPhone still,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it's not my main phone. I I went ahead and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I went to Android after for you justin you were
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: talking about it being so good, and I do like
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the experience. I miss some of the Apple features a bit.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out well Belkan and that
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: tracking device that they have will not work for the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Android device. There is another device that does work
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that I want to get my hands on. So I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: don't know. I've been happy with it. I've been a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: long time user of that. But yeah, I don't want
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: them to fail. But it's like, come on, guys, step up.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: You know they they have not done anything since Steve
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Jobs died and they never will. No, I was it
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: was twofold Steve Jobs died, Johnny Ives left. Well, that
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: was the final nail in the coffin right there. You
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: heard about that, right, Sean.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just riding along, man.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean's and Apple user too, So.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I'll be agnostic tech user, like I could go one way,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: or they're like, I'm not beholden to Apple.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: There's there's there's listeners out there who do not know
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: who Johnny Ives is. Matt, can you please give us
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a thirty second rundown on who Johnny Ives is, right,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: where he went, and why this is a big deal
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: for Apple.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Johnny Ives and his glorious British accent was so there
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: are Steve Jobs was the original brains of Steve Wozniak
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: behind Apple. The point where Apple, for lack of a
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: better term, got sexy, Like when the devices had really
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: started having these really clean, flowing lines and it wasn't like.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Let's do it in fifty different colors, that's gonna.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Appeal to people.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I want to kermit with that.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: But when they started moving like aluminum and clean lines
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: and the design became really important, that was all Johnny Ives.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: That was all him.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: He was like, we have the function, we are missing
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: the form, and we need to bring the form into play.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: And their numbers just skyrocketed and they are still writing
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: the majority of his design styles, like the MacBook Air,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the current MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, like that when you
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: close the lid and the lines flow around so it
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: still looks like a unified piece of metal. That was
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Johnny Ives. It was all him, and when he left,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: that is the that is the Di Vinci of technological
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: form design leaving the company and it's just it. It
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: hasn't been the same sense.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Why didn't they keep up with his you know, his designs.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Why did they feel they had to abandon it?
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Well, marketing departments exist for a reason. Yeah, and you'll
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: usually get pressure of like, ah, no, we need to.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Change something like even though we're changing the guts to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the standard user, it doesn't look any different, so they
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: don't know that it's different.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: So he has left.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I can't justin do you remember where he went? I'm
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: having a brain far open ai really again? He went
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: open ai to do their hardware. Uh now open ai
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: is going to get into hardware, which Apple's like shaking
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: in their boots.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna make a prediction right now in
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: terms of that where you're talking about someone's they're gonna
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: buy someone.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I have a device that I did not leave in
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: this room you're looking for it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: There is a company called Rabbit, and they released a
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: device at CEES a couple of years ago, the r one,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: And it's like a little bit bigger than a DECA
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: cards and it has an AI assistant inside of it. Now,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of people were like, why don't you do
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: this as an app? And they were like, well, we
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: didn't want to do an app, like we wanted this
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: to be where you can just have your AI buddy
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: in the palm of your hand. It's got a tiny
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: little touchscreen, a scroll wheel, a click button, and a
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: camera that is it for input. And they instead of
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: doing a large language model, rabbit os runs off the
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: large action model, so it learns instead of like how
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: you're phrasing things, it learns how you do things, how
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you want tasks to be completed. And they have a
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: website that you can log into the rabbit Hole. You
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: can see where they really leaned into the branding here.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: And the rabbit Hole is kind of like the repository
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: of your memories and things that you've asked and you
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: can access it on your computer. And they recently release
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: the rabbit intern and the rabbit intern is an AI
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: assisting tool where it can be like, hey, I want
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: to code a website. There are other tools. Replet is
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: one that comes to mind where you can be like,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I want this project and it will build front and
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: back end the whole thing for you and then be like,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: go make your tweaks and you can publish it. I
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: would bet solid money that at some point, when Rabbit
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: fully starts to get off the ground, Apple will swoop.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: In and buy them. Wow. Yeah, we've seen that happen
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: before too. We've seen that. Siri was originally an app.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I remember downloading it and being like, oh, this is dope.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And it was. It was really ahead of its time.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And then Apple bought it and it went to crap.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Apple bought it and it was neutered within two months
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: because it disappeared off my phone. They were like, due
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: to contractual obligations, we can no longer offer this app.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, all right, who bought it?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And then boom, Apple's like introducing Siri.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you didn't make anything. Once again, this is
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: what Apple does. You're like the Yankees. You didn't nurture talent,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: you just bought it. Well, I'm sorry, I think you
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: made the Dodgers.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: No, I mean the Yankees.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I definitely meant the Yankees. The Dodgers actually puts money
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: into their farm team. The Yankees are like, yeah, you're
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: gonna absolutely play for us.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, how much did that guy want? Yeah? I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: just give it to him, it's fine, perfect, all right,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: we got to take a break. We come back. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: want to find out Sean was involved in a project.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I know that you spent you know, part of the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Memorial Day doing a little cruising. Right. You send me
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a picture of the big RV. But now you're what
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you're putting solar panels on it?
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Well, so it came with solar when he bought it, right,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: it came with a two hundred watt solar panel on
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the roof, wired into a solar controller wired into the battery.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: But it was designed for lead acid or a GM right, Right,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: So there's a new battery chemistry called lithium myron phosphate.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Which is the biggest benefit is the weight difference. The
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: same capacity from a lead acid battery that weighs sixty
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to seventy pounds you get in a thirty to forty
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: pound battery. Now, weight savings alone is is incredible. The
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: density is incredible. I bought a one hundred amp hour
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: battery compared in the same size as to a lead
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: acid battery. I get about another day's worth of use
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: out of it with before I have to charge it
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: or before I have to run the generator, but I
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: had to basically rewire my camper.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: All Right, we gotta take a break. We want you
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: to tell us the rest of that when we come
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: back with tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm sean
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to Weird, I'm Matt Jones, and I'm Justin. Let me
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: find us on the web at tech talk radio dot com.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back now back to tech talk Radio.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: So before the break, we were talking a little bit
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: about what I was doing for a camper. So I
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: have a forest reverse no boundary nineteen point three. That's
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: just a toe bad camper. It's a little bit more
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: of the off grid style. Came with two hundred watts
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: of Ghostlar Power, which is another solar company brand, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I had put in a deep cycle a g M
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: battery like what would what would.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Let me answer what that solar that came with it
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that power like it would just charge them.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: It would keep the battery topped off. So that would
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: power the fridge in my camper's twelve vault. It would
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: power my twelve volt to a c inverter. It would
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: power off the twelve volt outlets, you know, the fridge,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the reefer, well, the fridge, the refer the water heater,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the water pump, et cetera. So basically keeping the everything
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I need in the camper to be boon dock.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: So you would keep your reefer in the fridge. Yes, sorry, moments.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Not legal in India. By the way, they called the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: refer it's just what yea industry calls refrigerators. But the
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: only the version of the fridge in that camper is
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: total volt. There's no propane or it's just propane. It's
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: just twelve volt, no propane options. So we were running
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: into an issue where if we were running the generator
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and we had the fridge on and we were charging
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: our devices, by the time it was get to four
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: or five six in the morning before the sun came
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: back up, we were running low. And it was the
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: lead acid battery or the AGM battery we had was
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: getting too low on voltage and it was causing some issues.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: So we upgraded to the lithium iron phosphate, which supplies
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: the same voltage no matter you know, at the same
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: you know for the most amount of time that it's charged.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: But the solar controller I had and the AC to
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: d C converter did not support the proper charging voltage
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: for lithium iron phosphate batteries because it requires a higher
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: charging voltage to maintain its lifespan and stuff like that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: So I had to buy a new solar controller, I
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: had to buy a new AC to DC converter and
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: basically rewire the entire internals of my camper. Oh man,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I did that Wednesday and Thursday night before we left
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: on Friday for our hit patrol.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Were you a little worried that maybe it wasn't good work? Right?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I was waiting for a specific piece to come in,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: uh And it didn't get there until until Wednesday night,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: and then I got got to work, wired it in,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: tested some stuff, made sure it ran okay, no fires,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: no nothing, everything like that. But so now I have
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: four hundred watts of solar on the roof charging this battery.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Uh in, So there impair of two two hundred wat
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: panels in parallel. It's pushing about twenty eight watts at
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: full power. So it's it's it's charging it nicely and
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: now we can get two to three days almost cool
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: without having to without having at full charge using being
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: conservative with our with our power usage, not you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: running the water pump all the time or you know
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: those kind of things.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: But well, it's gotta be better to not worry about
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: being somewhere and suddenly just not having the power this way.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but also while you're driving, Yeah, it's not tied
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: into my truck, so it's not pulling twelve volts from
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: my truck. It's just using the sun or that you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: to charge. So if you're in an occluded place like
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: a campground, it has a lot of trees and stuff,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna get nominal draw, right, But while you're driving,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: or if you're just boon docking and you don't have
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: trees or anything about it, you're gonna be just fine.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: So my goal is to add another one hundred amp
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: hour battery and put that in peril also, so I
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: have two hundred a half hours of storage total, which
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: would probably get me about three to four days total
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: with minimal with minimal draw. I know that my uncle
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: has a four hundred amp hour and he gets five
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: to six days with minimal draw. And so yeah, it's
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: just nice because I can also take that off. He's
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: it at home?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Does you does it add a lot of load though
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to the trailer itself.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: No, Like I said, the actually reducing weight based off
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: the battery weight, because the lead acid battery was almost
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: sixty pounds of this shay, and these batteries are much
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: lower lighter, So if I had a second battery, I'd
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: probably be back up to where I was with just
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the one battery.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Oh nice. How often are you guys going camping? Every year?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: We go about six or seven times a year?
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Nice?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Sense, we've already gone. We've already gone four this year.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Oh wow. Yeah, and we've got another one coming out
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: this week, and then we're going for the fourth July,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: and then we're going for We're going like we're probably
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: gonna go eight to eight or nine times. This year.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: We did a Memorial Day but it got cut short,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: and then we're going for fourth of July.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: For Lee's birthday.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: We went up to Wellington Lake and we had we
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: were supposed to be there Monday, sorry, Friday through Monday
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: and Saturday. I was just getting a weird feeling and
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: got like the ghost of one bar of reception just
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: enough to check the weather and it was like, hey,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: just letting you know, in about three hours it's going
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: to start thunderstorming. And then the rest of the time
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: we were there, here's what the weather was going to be, thunderstorm, rainstorm, snowstorm, thunderstorm, rainstorm, thunderstorm.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I was like, alternatively, Wow, it's just let's just leave
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: because the last like getting out of there is a
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: super tight dirt switchback mountain road.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: That just there's on the side is just gravity. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: was like, ideally, I don't want to be here when
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that's wet. Yeah. No, are you guys like this the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: road warrior portion of this, How would I, as somebody
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: who has a wife that says she never wants to
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: go camping, she's she likes to stay in a hotel,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing, how would I convince her to
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: try and do something like this? Is it memver just
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: renting one or what.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: So this is something that my wife and I have
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: been discussing. When we were younger, we were out doorsy.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Now we are outside zy, and there is a difference
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: like now doorsy is like I don't mind the ten
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I don't mind you know, sleeping the sleeping bag, Like
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: if it gets cold, we'll deal with it, like we're
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: gonna run. No, what you need to look up is
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: called glamping. G L A M P I N G
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: all right, and that is for glorious camping. And the
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: best one that I've seen was some more here in Colorado,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: and instead of like renting a camp site, you rented
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: a camp site that had a fully furnished, heated and
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: cooled yurt.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: It had a shower, it had a full queen size
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: bed in there like a yurt is. Uh. It was
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: what I think the Mongolians used for theirs, and it
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: was just right. Yeah, technically, thank you. I am closer
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: to gen X than gen Z. I'm an elder millennial.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Bite me, excuse me, I'm older than you, and I'm
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a millennial. I'm older than all of you.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: But no, seriously, it's glamping is kind of a new
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: thing where like, you you get a site that's got
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: like this really nice, fully furnished place for you to stay.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: It's got all the amenities. But then like there will
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: be a lake nearby, there's camping trails, but when you're
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: done for the day, you can go shower, you can
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: You've got like a full kitchen in some of these,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: So I know the hip camp app has a lot
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: of those, and that's one that we have.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: We have done before. I think that would be fun
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to try, at least if you want something.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: A little less glampy than that, you can travel and
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: do the Kiawa cabins around the country. Oh yeah, we
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: did those a lot growing up. When we travel out west,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: we would travel, we would camp, but we would stay.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: If we needed to stay for one night, just pull in.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: It's a cabin, it's got a bathroom, a shower, you know,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: you know, and it so kas all over the country,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: and the CEO of KAS and nordame grad So that's
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: perfec Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I think there's some kiowas here, even here in Arizona
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: that have been very popular on your Grand Canyon, that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: kind of thing.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: But every national park, most of the national parks, not
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: all of them, have these glamping options where you can
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: pay and have these nice amenities relatively close inconvenient for
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: you to still experience the park.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: There's also things like Cruise America where you can rent
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: an RV for a time.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: That's another one.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's you gotta you gotta be careful with
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: those because they it's just like you haul. Anybody can
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: rent one and you get a lot of you get
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of dumb dumbs that don't know how tall
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: an RV is.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've seen that big. Not even that it's
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: it's it's also like a lot like air and BnB.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I've heard where they'll they'll you get hit with one
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: fee and even though you take meticulous care of it,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you turn it back, They're like, we're gonna charge you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: a five hundred dollars cleaning fee. WHOA, yeah, that's not good,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that's not excuse excuse me, sir. We found one speck
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of sand inside this vehicle. Found we found a dog hair,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: one single dog hair. It's gonna be five hundred dollars
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to up. Why do you become the leader of the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: island of misfit toys? They're matt when you have authority? Uh,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Because it's funny, all right, it's it's gonna be interesting
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: the new job I got. I'm eventually gonna have four
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: direct reports and I'm actually gonna have authority, and I'm
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: not used to that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You've got to do it. You've got to do your
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: reports in those voices though that's perfect me. You didn't
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: finish the cover sheet on your TPS report. If you
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: could just come in on Saturday. That'd be great. Oh
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: my god, did you guys see the news Stephen Root,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the guy who played Belton on Office Space that we're
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you know, talking about, Stephen Root is now going to
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: be playing the father to the character Stephen Tudas plays
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: on Resident Alien on Sci Fi, which comes back for
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: a brand new season this week. As a matter of fact,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: such a good show. I love the show. If you've
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: missed it Netflix, you can see the previous seasons. But
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Stephen Root will be playing his dad, the Alien's dad.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: So that's that's gonna be good. All right, here's a
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: question we've got to listen to. Question. We got a
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: couple of them for today, but I wanted to share
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: this one, at least from Jerry. He said it in
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to high Andy. As you may know by now, I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: don't have my Windows ninety five and printer any longer.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: And you put an lol. I bought it from you
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and you set it up back in the mid nineties. Yes,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: it did your problem, Mandy, he said. So I have
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a question to ask, what is the real deal that
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: would work best for my two monitors and two PCs.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I'd like to only use one keyboard in one mouse.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I've looked on Amazon and Dell and get no help.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be cheap and easiest to use. So
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: he has two PCs. He wants to use, one keyboard,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: one mouse, AKVM switch.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: They still make those house and keyboard without borders.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Mouse That software, isn't it what it is? Yeah? Mouse
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and keyboard. Have you ever heard of that? Mouse and
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: keyboard without borders. I've not heard of that. Yeah, it's
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: like a software you put on there.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Also, there's also a Synergy is another app that does
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: something similar. I had a client use that once they
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: had their design PC and then their standard work PC,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: and he would just one mouse and keyboard, drag it
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: all the way across, and you just hop over to
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: the other side.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You know. Before we continue this conversation, I just want
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: to say this is funny because I sound like I
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: sound like the old guy here, right. I mentioned KVM.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Andy immediately says they still make those, and then Shaun's like,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: mouse and keyboard without borders, and then Matt's like, oh yeah,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah something else.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, I guess.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I'm the old guy here. Yeah, I'm wondering though, you know,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: it's harder because this would have to be a wired
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: keyboard and wired mouse to work with a KVM, wouldn't
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: it or do they do?
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: No?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: You so you so the the mouse without borders is
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: a software running out of both machines.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: You have.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: You basically puck up both computers to the two screens
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you want to use, and then you activate the software
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: and then as you cross over to the edge of
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: your screen, it just hops over. The software takes over
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: and it moves the keyboard and the mouse and put
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: over to the other computer.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: That's it's kind of cool, but it's kind of weird
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: because I can see me doing it by accident all
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Sure, that's the cheapest I think it's free even right,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: But if you want a physical one, then you'll have
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: to take the you know, you'll you'll get a box
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: or little server, and then you have a console module
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: and a target module. We have a big ks KVM
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: system to work, so I have a lot of experience
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: with this. And then you take the physical outputs, the
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: dv I or HTM or whatever into that box, and
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: then the output of that box goes to your monitor.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: And then you either have a physical selection box where
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: you press the button and it changes, or it's a
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: software where you can get to the edge of your
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: screen and automatically takes over and same thing. It just
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: moves between the two screens. So you have options. Just
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: how much you want to pay and how much asshle
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: do you want to.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Have, whether you go Jerry Mouse without borders. We're gonna
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: take another quick break. We come back with more of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: tech Talk Radio. I want to show you guys something
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I've been working on and I'm kind of excited about it.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Do that when we come back. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: sean to Weird, I'm Matt Jones, and I'm justin. Let
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: me send us an X at tech Talk Radio. We'll
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: be right back and now back to tech Talk Radio.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: We wanted to kick off this segment talking and thinking
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: and paying tribute to an artist no longer. With us
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: being in radio for so long, in so many different formats,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: have been able to get celebrities to get us what
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: we call drops or liners that say, you know, hey,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: listen to tech Talk Radio. Stephen First, who played Flounder
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: and Animal House, he did one and when he passed away,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: we kind of pulled that and we really don't air
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: it anymore. Here's stevens. Hi. This is Stephen first Flounder
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: from Animal House and here from Babylon five, and you're
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: listening to tech Talk Radio. And now we received the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: sad news of the passing of a musical legend who
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: has done one for us as well, Rick Darringer. You know,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: rock and roll Huchi Kou was instrumental in producing Weird
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Al Yankovic's first albums. So we paying respect to Rick
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Deringer with the drop that he gave us. Hi, I'm
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Rick Derringer, rock and roll hu Chi Ku, and you're
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: listening to tech Talk Radio. And with that we thank
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Rick Derringer for the memory and we take it back
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: to tech Talk Radio. So earlier in this Justin with.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Harry Potter and the audacity of this dude decided to
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: call me a Zeniel. I would like to point out
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: that Zeniels are born between ninety three and ninety eight,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: and I was definitely walking the world at that point.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: And then we discussed this off the.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Air for a minute and Sean was like, well, I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: was you know, I'm not a millennial. I was born
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you know, in the late eighties.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Millennials are eighty one to ninety six. Jen X was
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: sixty five to eighty and gen Z, which they're now
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: calling zoomers, which I think is hilarious. I had connotations
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: of that is ninety seven to twenty twelve.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I was born in eighty one, so neil.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: So what am I?
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I was sixty two before all sixty two? I have
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: some bad news boomer boomer baby boomers are forty six
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: to sixty four. Oh boy, they what was sixty four
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to the next one? Uh? Sixty five to eighty was
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: gen X? Yeah, oh that's right, gen X, gen X.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: I would like to point out that, like that is
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: the most gen X thing ever, the forgotten generation like
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: I mentioned in those like wait, what was that other wing?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, gen X existed, so like they just they
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: just sit quietly in the corner growing up.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I always consider myself to be gen X because I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: didn't know the exact cutoff. But honestly, dude, January twentieth
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: of eighty one, Come on, dude, I'm literally on the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: cusp of being gen X.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: So there is actual actually inside of sociology, there is
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: subgenerations that they call cusps, and if you are in
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: that spot, then you are a cusp between gen X
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: and millennial because you got a little bit of their
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: experience and a little bit of the next gens experience.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, I do not fall close enough to be a
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: cusp of asennial. I definitely do, thank you very much.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: You missed it by like a couple weeks, so you
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: definitely fall in the cusp area.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: So if I was born two years later, I'd be
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: a boomer Z. You'd be a boomer X boomer REX.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: All Right.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: The other thing that we kind of talked about during
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: the break that Sean had brought up was the difference
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: between like millennials and our Internet experience growing up, Like
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I still could mimic the dial up noise from that
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: mode because it is so ingrained. For like that meant
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: you were getting online, followed by if you did AOL.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: You've got mail.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Web one point zero was so wildly different, Like you
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: had the handful of websites that everyone knew, and now
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: you've got a different what are we at like web
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: three point zero at this point is what they're calling it.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: But everyone has this wildly different experience of Internet life,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: and part of it, you know, Sean was bringing up
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: it might be regional, like you know, somebody in the
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Midwest is going to look up something different than someone
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: in New York than somebody in Texas. But the biggest
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: change is the algorithm. The algorithms drive your web experience,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: whether you want it to or not.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Say you lived in New York City versus living in
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Florida Miami, you're gonna be you have been probably fed
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: something different. Absolutely.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: I mean things that you look up locally, you know,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: inside the algorithm. If you go to you know, okay,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: I go to this website, there are tags associated with that,
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: and it's like, okay, he went to website X, which
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: has tags one, two, three. Then you went to website Z,
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: which has tags two, three, and seven, and it starts
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: compiling and it's like, oh, okay, so Matt's interest did
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: in one, seven, fourteen and the letter Q like those
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: are what I'm going to start punching in his feeds.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: So you have the regional influence for what you're going
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: to natively be looking for that feeds the algorithm. The
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: algorithm then drives the content that's sent to you. My
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: wife and I, for example, we joke about the difference
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: in our algorithms like she gets like lots of pottery,
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: ceramic artists, like lots of more artistic stuff. Mine is
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: like sixty percent Cory Geese, fifteen percent firearms, and the
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: remainders like dad jokes for some reason, although it occasionally
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: throws with the dad jokes, it occasionally throws one in
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: there that I'm like, well, that one was wildly out
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: of pocket. There's the one for the day. So it
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: really is a completely different web experience between what we
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: grew up with and what the kids are growing up.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Well are you so, what's what was faster? Three hundred
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: bod or twenty eight eight twenty eight eight and then
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: fifty six k, then fifty six k, so you have
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: well one fifty three hundred because twenty eight eight was
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: twenty eight thousand eight, right, bod Yeah, but if you
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: you asked them, but you might go, oh no, three
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: hundred must have been bigger. It just sounded better. Those
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: are the same people that thought a Wendy's third pounder
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: was was worse than a than Donald's quarter pounder or whatever,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: what was it? What was it? Yeah, yeah, it's quarter pounder.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: You're right. They thought of Wendy's third pounder was less
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: meat than a McDonald's quarter pound.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I also thought the half pounder was less than the
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: quarter pounder because the number was bigger.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So think about the Wendy's. Yeah.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people just think big number means big.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: People are Okay, hold on, we can just sum this
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: up as people are dumb. Yeah, and okay. The other question, now,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: because we brought it up, why did you got mail
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: go away? There was something nice? No, not the movie
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: that the thing was all went away?
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Why did they will go away? That should have been around.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: For mess managed? They were bought by Time Warner Interactive.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: They were mismanaged due I worked for AOL. I saw
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: the downfall of that company when I was working there.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: And then also not only just that, is because the
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: dial up era was over. They tried launching a high
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: speed internet service back in early two thousand and one
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: or two thousand and two, and it failed miserably because
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: they had to make contracts with the major ISPs that
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: were already established, so you're basically tacking on on top
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: of an additional ISP. Their whole business model was based
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: on dial up, and once dial up went dead, nobody
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: wanted them any to be.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Fair, they kind of were the first software as a service.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh right, yes, yeah, so fun little fact. I
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: actually grew up about ten minutes away from AOL World headquarters,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: which was in Ashbourne, Virginia, and it was a giant,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: sprawling complex.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, with armed guards. I've been there still around. They
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: have like one building from that entire complex, and Raytheon
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: bought the rest of it. Oh you're a kid. So
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: the funny, funny story is when I worked for AOL,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I did have a chance to go to that complex
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: as an employee because they they randomly picked like I
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: don't know, one hundred people to go, right, And I
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: got to go to the complex and it was is
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the best part about it was you go into like
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the quote unquote and I'm doing air quotes here headquarters
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: of AOL. And there it's this big, beautiful waiting room,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: you know, big huge lobby, and the behind you is
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: like this glass wall of all these blinky server lights
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: and and and it's like, I mean, it looks just amazing.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: It looks like a data center, right. Yeah. This is
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: like a lot of people's first ever experience looking at
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a data center. It's just a bunch of computers with
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: blinky lights. Yeah, and then they brought us back and
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: they gave us the tour, you know, they told us
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: the tour, and then they said, okay, now that you
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: guys are employees, we're going to take you to the
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: real data center. Wait it was it the real data center? No,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: that was all just that was literally just a wall
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: of blinky lights. Like they took us behind it and
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: there was no servers. Oh I love all the blinky lights.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: So what they did is they actually made us wear blindfolds.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: They put us on a bus and they took us
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: to an undisclosed location, which is probably what Matt is
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: talking about, right, And when we got off the bus,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: there was armed guards and it was a giant warehouse
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: with these massive like it looked like furnaces like inside
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: oh wow, they huge smoke stack furnaces and cooling. Well,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: but inside the warehouse, like you walk in, it looks
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: like a blast furnace, right, but inside of the blast
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: furnace was all of the servers. And that is the
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: true at the time, that was the true AOL headquarters.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Kind of wonder if server rooms have changed much because
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: of AI. I mean, I'm sure I'm both everything smaller Now.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I would think now that's kind of growing again, because no,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: they're growing exponentially. There's so much data now that AI
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: is consuming and having to do that. It's that's where
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of it going into that.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: When I was working in television, we went to our
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: data center was in Dallas, Texas. This data center biometric,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: it was i I scanning, it was multiple badges, it
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: was DNA. I mean, they literally took a blood sample
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: from you. What to put on record in case, you know,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: there was an accident inside the data center and your
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: blood was found there. They knew, make you disappear. But
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: but but but our our cabinet for the TV station
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: was literally next door to Facebook and Google.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's so yeah, they yeah, that what you're
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: talking about. It like the growth of the data centers.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: It's so Where AOL was located in Ashburn, Virginia, a
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: minute up the road was the old headquarters for ACI
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: world Com NCI World Colm Oh wow, was right up
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: the road from there. And growing up that area was
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: it was farmland and nothing.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: It's a store. Remember the road. It's off Waxpool Road,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: off Route twenty eight.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: In Ashburn, Virginia, and that area exploded and it is
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: now one of the more expensive places to try and
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: live and buy a house because it is basically Silicon
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: Valley on the east coast. Because the fiber, the main
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: fiber line, the trans Pacific Fiber line, comes into San Francisco,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: and then it splits into three trunks. You've got the northern,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: the Central, and the Southern trunk. Northern trunk goes up
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: kind of along the Great Lakes area, starts curving back down.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Central line goes straight through Denver all the way across,
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: and the southern line goes down through Texas and then
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: curves back up. Those three main fiber trunks rejoin in Ashburn,
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Virginia and become the trans Atlantic fiber line. So whenever
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: you're looking on like AWS or Azure or Google Cloud
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: and you see like US East one, US East two,
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: that's all in Ashburn.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: It is the land of data centers.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: All this open land.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Like you can pick up a rock on Waxpool Road,
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: wing it through the sky as hard as you can
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: and it will cross three different data centers before it
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: hits the ground.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Wow, amazing. All right, I got to show you something, guys,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: before we go to break here. I decided to bite
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: the bullet and give it a shot. Mocha. That's Moca
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Multimedia over Coax Alliance and see if it really is
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: as fast as everybody says. It connects to your router
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: co X or your motive, I should say, and then
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: it has a backfeed that goes into your router, and
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: then your router can then you put it the second
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: unit in another room with coax, so you're basically using
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: your coax that's been wired in your which a lot
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: of us don't use anymore, to be your kind of
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: your cable provider for your Internet. And this is two
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: point five They say it'll get two point five gigabits
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: of speed, low latency, And I'm gonna give it a
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: shot and fully test it out. But we'll see. And
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: if so, a kit is about one hundred and seventeen dollars,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: so you figure out how many COAX out outlets do
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: you have that you need better than power line. I
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to be better than Wi Fi.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: People are saying it is. So Moke MCA. You find
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: more info on our website. I featured it on TV
• 50:36

• 51:40
  Speaker 1: and it was just about talk radio. But it's actually
• 51:43
