The following program is produced by the Tech Talk Radio Network. All Right,
0:03
people, take out your notebooks and pencils and sride rolls. You're listening to
0:07
to tech Talk Radio with true geeks. And by the way, I'm Basider
0:12
and I'm a kig Do and welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio.
0:18
I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird, I'm Matt Jones, and I'm
0:22
Justin Lemme. All right, once again. Last week of the show,
0:24
Justin ordered the one Wheel pint X, which is a kind of a skateboard
0:30
with one wheel right in the middle of it. We wanted to know how
0:33
the experience was once again, how much was this thing? It was out
0:36
the door after taxes, it was like sixteen hundred dollars. Yeah, so
0:42
it's pretty expensive. And then I invested another I don't know, I think
0:46
I want to say, about one hundred and fifty into it, adding some
0:49
accessories on it. But so I got it on Friday, after we talked
0:54
about on the show. I wanted to ride it. But I have been
0:56
watching some videos, you know, things that people are talking about out and
1:00
there saying, look, if you've never you know, written a snowboard or
1:03
you know, written a skateboard. I mean I've written both. I've written
1:06
skateboards and snowboards, but it's been twenty thirty years or so, so they're
1:12
like, look, you might want to get somebody to help you just to
1:17
make sure that you don't fall over. So, you know, obviously I
1:19
got the knee pads, I got the elbow pads, the wrist guard guards,
1:25
the helmet. It was pretty funny because Matt knew that I got my
1:29
board that day. I texted him in the morning and said, Hey,
1:30
I'm getting my board. But then I called him later in the afternoon.
1:34
What are you doing working? Why what do you need? And I was
1:38
like, oh, I I need somebody to take me to the emergency room.
1:42
Well, and he's like what what? Why? Why? I fell
1:45
off my one wheel and I broke my wrist and he's like, are you
1:49
kidding me? And I was like, yeah, no, I'm just joking,
1:51
d no. But he was expecting that I guarantee. Weren't you,
1:56
Matt. Weren't you? Weren't you? And it was like someone to take
2:00
me to the emergency room. My first thought was, yeah, you do,
2:04
Yeah, yeah, I believe I fell in for that because I believed
2:07
it too. I didn't hear the right amount of pain in his voice,
2:10
but I did actually want him to come over because it does say that,
2:14
you know, if you ever gotten on a board, you're gonna want some
2:16
help. So I had him come over and I held on to his wrists
2:21
while I got on the board, just to just to get myself balanced,
2:23
kind of get a feel for it, and we kind of went in circles
2:27
in the garage, you know, I just but the thing about the one
2:30
wheel is you can't really go slow. Like, if you go slow,
2:32
it's actually more difficult than if you go fast because you're trying to balance.
2:37
If you're going at speed, it's a lot easier to keep your balance.
2:39
So after going around a few times, we ventured out into the alleyway behind
2:44
my house and I had him walk me up and down the alleyway, which
2:49
was nice. Uh. Well, I enjoyed holding your hand. Yeah,
2:52
I'm wondering, Matt, while you were doing this, did you have the
2:54
song from the Courtship of Eddie's Father playing in your head? You know?
2:59
Uh? In my head? Yeah, I had two soundtracks. One was
3:02
like Who's a big boy? I'm a big boy, and the other going
3:07
through my head was I That's why I'm my life. What a beautiful moment,
3:20
But nobody puts baby in a corner. Yes, do you feel like
3:24
you've got him mastered it now being able to move forward? Yeah? I
3:29
mean so after after I did that with Matt and I kind of got a
3:32
little feeling for the board, I was like, all right, I gotta
3:34
get back to work. So I finished out my day and everything and then
3:38
went picked up Eric and then I was like, well, I want to
3:39
try it again, but I can't hold on to Eric because he's way way
3:44
too small for me and I'd be like leaning over and I'd be losing my
3:46
balance. So I was like, well, I guess I'm on my own.
3:49
So Eric just kind of sat in the garage and watched me, and
3:51
I was like, all right, this is it. I'm gonna do it
3:52
myself. So I got on it, and you kind of just have to
3:54
have that leap of faith, and I just got on it and I started
3:58
writing, and I was like, oh, wow, okay, this is
4:00
that's too hard. I mean, it's a little bit, but I practiced.
4:03
I practiced. I practice the practice a couple days after a couple of
4:05
days. So I practice on Saturday, I practice on Sunday, I practice
4:09
on Monday. Even yesterday I actually went out and got my top speed of
4:15
fifteen miles an hour, which doesn't sound like a lie, but on a
4:17
one wheel, fifteen miles an hour is pretty fast, and it's pretty fast.
4:21
Yeah. I am wondering though, As with any piece of new technology,
4:25
a lot of us have done this. You know, you get something
4:27
and you think this is so cool, and you use it a few times,
4:30
Like my drone is still in the box. Are you are you gonna
4:35
go that route you think? I mean, because you you did that,
4:38
you bought a drone and you use it a few times. Are you gonna
4:43
use these more often? See? That's the thing that's this is exactly what
4:46
I always end up doing, is I'll buy something and I'll use it a
4:50
little bit, and then I get bored of it. That's my ADHD.
4:54
I mean, honestly, it really is the same thing. Yeah, you
4:56
just mentioned my drone, my drone. I haven't pulled that thing out for
5:00
probably about eight months. Yeah. I spent sixteen hundred dollars on this one
5:04
wheel. You're damn right, I'm gonna be using it right, Yeah,
5:08
I can imagine. It's actually a non issue with ADHD. I've actually I've
5:14
been ADHD diagnosed since I was in the fourth grade, and it well me
5:18
too. As they're discovering more about it nowadays, which is I think is
5:23
great. It's not just oh, you have trouble focusing here, take it,
5:27
take some riddling. They're discovering all the additional comorbidities and things that come
5:30
with it. But one of the tendencies is you find something that interests you,
5:34
like a new hobby, you hyper fixate on it for x amount of
5:40
time. You buy all the gadgets, all the gizmos, do all the
5:44
research, become fairly proficient during the fixation, and then when you hit a
5:47
certain point where you're like, I'm good at this. Because you're now good
5:51
at it, the novelty of it has worn off. You don't get that
5:56
dopamine hit from it, and it goes in the closet and you fixate on
6:00
something else. My wife has always wondered, why why do you do this?
6:04
Why do you buy all of these different things and you play with it
6:09
for like one or two months, and then you just don't play with it
6:11
anymore. And I could never explain it until I came across a YouTube channel
6:15
called how to ADHD, and the lady that runs it is she's ADHD as
6:21
well, super adorable woman and very very smart, as most ADHD people are,
6:30
and she kind of explains it in a way that my wife could understand.
6:34
And it's very interesting because she kind of had this aha moment where she
6:39
was like, oh wow, like that's what it is. Like She's like,
6:43
you can't necessarily control this, and I was like, no, I
6:46
can't. It's just the way my brain works. Like that's it, now,
6:49
Sean. Have you ever been diagnosed with ADHD or add or anything like
6:54
that. You know, I've never been. I've never gone in for a
6:57
diagnosis or anything like that. So do you find yourself doing the same kind
7:00
of things that we're describing. Just go back and listen to all the shows
7:05
that we do. Hey it's ham Radio. Hey it's World of Warcraft.
7:09
Hey it's drones. Hey. I could self diagnose myself right, and Hey,
7:15
I have ADHD, but I've never been seen by a specialist. I've
7:19
never been prescribed medication for it. Part of the tendencies of people that are
7:24
in my field, the video engineer, the broadcast, thegery side. There's
7:28
a lot of people with ADHD in there because it's a it's a very fine
7:31
focused career path. And you think about it. Now, we have so
7:34
many distractions in our lives from the norm that we may do. You have
7:41
the and maybe like when I was growing up, yeah you read a book,
7:45
watch television, maybe you go outside play. Now we have all these
7:48
distractions with the technology that I think adds to that. It bundles upon that,
7:55
and I don't know, maybe that's good, maybe that's not bad.
7:58
Maybe that's bad, but maybe it also can be a positive by challenge,
8:01
you know, channeling that if somebody is into art but they don't have that
8:05
outlet here, here's an outlet with technology to create, so maybe there are
8:11
some benefits there. So there's one interesting aspect, and we talked a little
8:15
bit about this in pre show, was that I think that marketing and sales
8:22
have caught on to the fact that most people have a very short attention span
8:28
and this is why you see all of these clickbait articles. And Andy,
8:33
you mean you you proved it. You told us in pre show, and
8:35
you can explain it again. But it's like, this is why you see
8:39
these articles with these headlines like, oh my god, you won't believe what
8:43
happened. Click here, and then you go click on it and you got
8:48
fourteen ads before you even get to the article. And the reason behind is
8:52
because you got to catch people's attention within a millisecond. Because there's there's always
8:58
something else they can scroll to that'll catch their attention and Andy, please expand
9:03
upon that, Yeah you did earlier, They'll keep scrolling. We post all
9:07
of our videos from our TV segments that we do on a weekly basis over
9:09
thirteen News. We'll post them and you know, we get people who will
9:13
click to see. And in the past I've done you know, the product
9:16
shots where I'm holding up the product, and that's been cool. People will
9:20
click through. But I found I get the most response when I show part
9:24
of a product. I don't show the entire picture. Or maybe I'll show
9:30
me holding a product and you see it off to the side and it will
9:33
say, you know, Andy takes a look at you know, the new
9:35
item to make make it more fun in the kitchen. Or the one that
9:41
got the most is and we just recently we did one of you justin on
9:46
your one wheel. If our listeners want to check it out, you find
9:48
it on the front page of our website at tech talk radio dot com.
9:52
I just asked chat GPT Dally please create an image of a man on a
9:56
skateboard crashing holding a pint because you have the pint X and it came out
10:03
perfect, except it's the duels. It maybe look like an alcoholic Well,
10:11
I think that wart of the discussion from last week only true, but but
10:16
I noticed that that's the one that got a lot of It got a lot
10:20
of views because of that picture. I'm not showing a product. People are
10:26
going, what is this? Previous to that, we did a story about
10:28
AI and how how there are so many different mid Journey and Dally and you
10:33
know, there's so many different AI sources out there. I asked AI to
10:37
create a picture of a Avelina singing. That's the one that got the most
10:41
hits in the last five six months because people were like, what is this
10:45
thing? They want to see it, and they would click on it and
10:48
see the story and they watched all the way through, you know, because
10:50
they'll tell me if they bumped out in thirty seconds, or they watched the
10:54
entire three minute video, and that's exactly people like to see to be teased.
11:00
I think they're overdoing it now, but maybe that's because there's just so
11:03
much competition in that world there is. You got to catch somebody's attention within
11:07
a millisecond or else they're onto the next thing. I think Andy, to
11:11
your point of like when you show like a portion of the product, I
11:16
think that ties into fomo, that fear of missing out. Yeah, most
11:20
people, most people only say half of the quote curiosity killed the cat,
11:26
but the second part is but satisfaction brought him back exactly. I never heard
11:31
that before. Yeah, And I think the people that's you, you're just
11:35
teasing that curiosity enough that when they go in and see it, it's like,
11:39
well, I don't want to miss out. I want to know what
11:41
this new product is. I want to see the full picture what could it
11:43
be? And they see it, they get that little ding and they're like,
11:46
all right now, I know cool. Yeah, if it doesn't take
11:50
up, because I let's face it, we've been all been on websites where
11:52
we'll see an article and you click on it and you read, you read,
11:58
you read, you read, and you can never recipes You all got
12:01
it, they're the worst, but you never get to the answer of what
12:05
it is that you were looking for. If you like recipes, like,
12:09
what do you do because you have to weed through a bunch of stuff,
12:11
right? I like cooking, and I got so tired of going to all
12:16
these recipe sites and it's like, oh, this looks like a good recipe.
12:18
It was a cold winter nineteen forty one when my Grandpather went outside,
12:24
like, I don't need the deep biography of your great great grandfather going across
12:28
the plains and finding this this recipe. I don't care. How did you
12:35
bypass that? I found an extension for Chrome that auto detects when there's a
12:39
recipe, and I go to the site and it just brings it up front
12:43
and it's like, here's the recipe. I'm like, I think it's a
12:46
website called this Just show me the recipe dot com or something like that.
12:50
Oh yeah, yeah, it's good. It's actually just the recipe dot com.
12:52
The upside for this is it's any site that does a recipe, it
12:56
automatically pulls it and puts it up fromt Just tell me how to make the
13:00
chicken noodle soup, Karen. That's all I want. I don't want your
13:05
family history. I just want the recipe that it spawned. In our pre
13:09
show, Matt, you mentioned the subreddit that actually can help people so you
13:13
don't fall for some of this clickbait that is out there that is never going
13:18
to give you that satisfaction. So there is a subreddit and it is called
13:22
Saved You a Click. And if you go to that subreddit, they'll have
13:28
like the clickbait story up front where it's like, oh my god, you
13:31
won't believe what happened when Kim Kardashian. Okay, first off, no one
13:35
cares what right. Then it has a little uh the pipe character and it
13:39
has a description afterwards. You don't even have to click in the link.
13:43
It's just like, nothing happened. It was twenty six ads. Yeah,
13:46
have a nice day. It literally has just saved you a click because what
13:52
you guys brought up, like you go to a to read an article and
13:56
they'll break it up into like slideshow format where you get like a little chunk
14:01
of it and there's like four ads and then a little chunk of it and
14:05
I'm like, listen, man, I don't have the internet bandwidth, the
14:07
personal time, or a desire to get through all of this. Just tell
14:11
me, just give me the payoff. I'll tell you know. There's so
14:13
many choices now, especially when it comes to streaming. You talk about that.
14:16
Now we're seeing Amazon even going to be adding ads to their basic service
14:22
now because they can make money on it. You know, they saw Netflix,
14:26
Netflix do it, they saw Peacock do it, they saw Hulu do
14:30
it that, well, why not Amazon? But yet people pay a premium,
14:33
so people are really upset. Will this cause people to start dropping some
14:37
of their paid services? I think so all we've done. Netflix was the
14:41
originator with this when they created streaming. They were originally for our younger viewers
14:48
Netflix and originally sent you a DBD to your mailbox that you got picked right
14:52
one and picked it up and watched it and shipped it back. And one
14:54
day they were like, hey, if you got the bandwidth, you should
14:58
try this new streaming thing we have. Yeah, and they were the innovator.
15:01
They had everything. Now you've got Let me see if I can just
15:05
remember the one, remember the ones. I'm subscribed to Netflix, Hulu Max,
15:09
which used to be HBO Max which used to be HBO Go Paramount plus
15:15
crunchy Roll Peacock. All we've done is recreate cable TV exactly, is all
15:22
we've done is recreate cable TV. And when cable first came out, long
15:24
before I was walking the surface of the planet, the big thing was no
15:30
ads, and ads slowly started to come in. Then cable TV is now
15:33
filled with ads. The great thing about streaming no ads. And then they're
15:37
like, well, we we want to do this thing called make more money.
15:41
I'm not sure if you've heard of it. Yeah, so we're going
15:45
to put yeah. And the thing that's got people so riled up with Amazon
15:50
is that it's not just the people who are doing Prime Video for like six
15:54
ninety nine a month, although they upped it to nine ninety nine. Even
15:58
if you have like the fulllan Amazon Prime subscription shipping and all those other benefits,
16:03
they're still like, yeah, you're gonna need to give me three dollars
16:07
a month additional for no ads. No. In fact, I don't because
16:14
I can do this cool thing called cancel. But you know what, Honestly,
16:17
I found I might watch Amazon once a month, maybe twice a month.
16:22
I don't watching it enough for it to really impact me that much.
16:25
Sean, do you watch Amazon Prime at all? No? Very, rare
16:27
very rarely. Yeah, maybe, Reacher, what do you what do you
16:32
guys watch? I mean, what do you guys? Netflix? We we
16:36
have, we use you do a lot of YouTube. We're not subscribing to
16:41
premium, which we're really debating because children's videos are The ads on YouTube for
16:47
children's videos are obsurd. Oh, They're horrible. And the problem with it
16:51
is it's not just a minute, thirty second ad. If you've got a
16:55
video that's on and your kid, you're doing stuff around the house, your
16:56
kids watching YouTube, you come back and there's a two hour ad. What
17:03
yeah, yeah, oh yeah, YouTube does this feature that is an ad
17:08
that is playing in the break between your YouTube clip. That's just on the
17:11
TV platform, right, And it's just as bad on the web web version.
17:15
Also, the app on the phone is not as bad, so the
17:19
experience on the app isn't as bad. Now you asked, like, what
17:22
what a watch? Max? Uh, Curb your Enthusiasm, which starts this
17:29
weekend. I'm looking forward to this one, right, wait, wait,
17:32
what do you mean starts? That's like from the nineties. Well, the
17:36
last season, yeah, the last season it was still running like this is
17:40
it's been running this whole time. Yeah. Yes, there's actually a really
17:45
interesting way that they did that to keep it going and keep it fresh,
17:48
and it also added to the production time. There is no set script for
17:55
each episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. There are general points that you have to
17:59
get to. Ninety five percent of that show is improv yeah, really,
18:03
but they have to do like I think it's like three or four times the
18:07
amount of takes per scene because everyone's improving everything. Hmmm. Yeah. Uh,
18:14
And I'm looking forward to this one. So I'll be watching that Netflix
18:18
return of Cobra Kai for another season. I'm looking forward to that one.
18:23
Hulu huluid Game season two. Yeah, yes, squid Game. I forgot
18:29
about that, but Hulu. You know, the thing for me is I
18:32
like the old television shows that you could catch on Hulu. I mean,
18:36
that's that's pretty good. But you know what I've noticed recently, which one
18:38
I really like is Pluto Pluto TV, the Free Pluto kind of like CLX,
18:45
kind of like Crackle. But I love Lucy episodes. I'm sorry.
18:49
I love old, classic, old school television, and I'm thinking, you
18:53
know, that's pretty cool because I don't have to pay for it except give
18:56
them my time for an ad. I don't mind that. Like if it's
19:00
a free service, I don't mind the ads. What makes me mad,
19:03
and I'm sure a lot of people is if you're paying a premium and yet
19:08
you still get served ads. That's where I draw a line. Yeah,
19:11
because they're double they're double making money on you. Yeah. Well, I
19:15
mean that's that's basically cable cable. You're paying for cable and yet you get
19:18
served ads. And Amazon had already started to kind of like soft test it
19:23
where they'd throw an ad, but it was only for like their produced content.
19:29
Is, so we don't watch like two episodes of twilight Zone. I
19:36
had to think about that because I watch so much Futurama than in my head
19:40
it's the scary door. Yes, but we watched like two episodes of twilight
19:45
Zone, and then it was like, here's an ad for re ad for
19:48
another show that we're doing. There you go moving on. I was like,
19:52
what was that? Yeah, I am giving you my American dollars so
19:56
that I don't have to deal with that, And they're like there is a
20:00
solution. We require more of your American dollars. I'm like, you can
20:03
get none of my American dollars. I'm wondering how many how many still have
20:07
Disney. I kept Disney because I keep waiting for Mandalorian to come back.
20:11
And that's that's the only reason I keep Disney for. I don't know why
20:15
you're actually gonna see a change. There was an article that came out that
20:19
Bob Eiger was basically just he was teed off on the amount Disney is just
20:26
hemorrhaging money for Disney Plus, right, they're hemorrhaging money from it. And
20:30
he was like, how do we make this profitable? And they were like,
20:32
I don't know if we can. He was like, I'll shut it
20:33
down. Then they were like, oh do that wow. So what they
20:38
did instead is they realized that Hulu is profitable. But it was a joint
20:45
venture between the Disney Family of Stuff and Comcast. And now if you go
20:52
into Disney Plus you'll see you know, like Disney, Marvel, Pixart,
20:56
and there's now a button for Hulu. And if you go into Hulu,
21:00
the entire Hulu library is there on Disney Plus. Because those two are going
21:04
to become one. They've been talking a lot of that with the Paramountain Showtime
21:08
now as well certain things. So it's gonna be interesting to see how that
21:12
plays out. So if I have a Disney Plus subscription, does that mean
21:17
I get will in the future get access to Hulu? Yep, Hulu will
21:21
basically go away there. They are, as far as I've seen on the
21:26
news, are going to shutter it once the integration is finished. So they
21:30
have they have a plan for I think it's sixteen bucks a month. You
21:33
get ESPN plus Hulu and Disney Plus. Right, if you pay for that,
21:37
you get who you get Hulu as is right. Yeah, But with
21:41
that plan, it's not the Hulu Premium, it's the Hulu ads supported to
21:45
you, right, right, So yeah, you have to pay an extra
21:48
on top of that to get Hulu ad free. But yeah, they're they're
21:52
gonna end up combining it and we're just gonna watch all these different streaming too.
21:57
I mean, we saw it with HP and Discovery, We're seeing it
22:00
with WE show Time in Paramount, We're seeing it with Disney and Hulu that
22:04
they're just going to start merging together. I do got to say this.
22:08
I know we got to take a break, but I want to mention that
22:14
I know we talked about YouTube I do gotta say I am and join YouTube
22:18
TV. Now, Sean, your family uses YouTube TV, right. YouTube
22:22
TV is fantastic. It saved my in laws a ton of money off their
22:26
cable bill and we get it also from them, and it's fantastic. It's
22:33
it allows us to watch all of our live TV if we want to,
22:36
or unlimited DVR, or it just has you know, a good selection of
22:41
content on it. Yeah, and it does. And you're paying a yeah
22:44
premium. I think, I'm I don't know what am I paying. I'm
22:45
thinking like eighty five dollars a month. Yeah, but it's a good football
22:53
season to have access to red zone. Well, I did get the red
22:59
zone package, so I got YouTube TV, right, I keep subscribing to
23:02
that, But then I got the ten dollars extra to get red zone during
23:06
the football season. I have now canceled that because it's not there. But
23:11
one cool thing I got an ad for on YouTube TV was hey, do
23:15
you want to watch super Bowl? How about you watched super Bowl in four
23:18
K only ten dollars a month? And I was like, Uh, yes
23:22
please. So I signed up for the package to get the super Bowl in
23:26
four K, and I will subsequently cancel that right after the super Bowl.
23:30
Funny fact about that, though, is it bills you on February tenth.
23:37
The super Bowl is February eleventh, So they set the billing date to make
23:44
sure that you're gonna pay for it one day before the Super Bowl, and
23:48
you're gonna pay ten dollars. We're going to get it into four K.
23:51
We're gonna take a quick break. But I don't want to sound like clickbait,
23:53
but I will tell you probably one of the greatest ads ever we'll be
24:00
running during this year's Big Game, and it's one that could score somebody something
24:04
huge, something amazing, something wonderful. We'll tell you about that coming up
24:10
with tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird, I'm
24:14
Matt Jones, and I'm justin Lemmy. You won't believe where you can find
24:18
us on the internet tech talk radio dot com. We've weight back and now
24:22
back to tech talk Radio. Hey, this is Harold Parano, and you
24:25
listen to the geeks on the radio tech Talk Radio. Looping back to the
24:29
discussion on ADHD. I know Justin had brought up a YouTube channel that he
24:33
saw. What was was that called again Justin? It was called how to
24:37
ADHD. All Right, So my wife actually found this on Instagram and I
24:44
credit this account with partially saving my marriage. It's called adh doers d o
24:51
e ers and you know, short form content like Instagram is. But the
24:56
whole time is explaining so many any of the ADHD tendencies to people who don't
25:03
have to deal with that. Yep. And my wife came to me at
25:07
one point after following it for about a month, and she was like,
25:10
I feel like I understand you so much better watching some of this because it
25:17
explains some of the behaviors that I just couldn't wrap my head around. And
25:21
now I'm understanding that. Like to us and other people, like, it's
25:26
a behavior, but for you, it is just how you're wired. It's
25:30
not something you have a choice of, it's not something you're asking for.
25:33
It's just how your brain functions. I was talking. I was talking to
25:37
a friend of mine, Matt, who has a son. Her son is
25:41
ten. She got him a switch for Christmas and he was playing video games.
25:49
She heard him in the other room, and she's concerned. She asked
25:52
me what do I think? And I said, you know, my kids
25:56
grew up in the PlayStation one age Drink Safe, a Dreamcast, and I
26:00
never heard and it was all playing against the computer, not playing against somebody.
26:07
And she noticed that when he would fail in the game and maybe not
26:12
you know, achieve victory, he would cuss out the game like loudly,
26:18
like with all this anger. And she says, is there anything that can
26:22
be done with that? And I said, you know, I think,
26:25
unfortunately, this is one of those things that we may be seeing. I
26:29
don't know, you know, talking to gamers here, how would you handle
26:33
it if your kids playing a game and they unleash like that? Sean,
26:37
No, yeah, I mean you play games all the time. Well it's
26:41
usually to you to two Matt, I guess. But there's there's a thing
26:47
with ADHD called rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and it's where rejection, failure, things
26:56
like that actually cause a physical sense station of pain. Wow, the rejection,
27:03
the failure, things like that are felt differently than a neurotypical person would
27:08
feel it, right, And if you're young and you don't know how to
27:14
process those feelings, process those emotions. When you're young, anger is the
27:18
easiest outlet. It's the easiest thing to reach out and grip. I mean,
27:23
Sean, if you if you're on like your fourth attempt for a raid
27:29
and you guys wipe, Like, what's your reaction to that? Going to
27:32
be not good. There was a period of time when I was I was
27:37
just out of college. I was playing World of war Craft pretty significantly.
27:41
The term is hardcore for those who are listening. I played hard hardcore while
27:45
for a while, and they coined a term in our guild called called a
27:51
shon level of rage. Wow, really, because I would just you know,
27:59
I may have broken a headset or two because I would throw my headset
28:03
off, get sod or just toss it, you know, just slam it
28:08
down on the keyboard or whatever. But so this is something adults do too.
28:14
Oh yeah, it's rage quitting, man. I mean, okay,
28:18
okay, let me tell you it. Just a little anecdote. When I
28:21
was in the Navy, right and I was living in Japan, I had
28:23
I had a Japanese house, like I lived outside the base. I lived
28:27
amongst the people of Japan, right, and Japanese houses don't have a lot
28:33
of insulation because it's a very temperate climate, right. And I had a
28:38
roommate for a while, and this guy, you know, he had his
28:42
own room. He played Xbox all the time. He would yell and scream
28:48
when he would lose that halo or call of duty, and he would,
28:51
I mean to the point where he actually slammed his controller into the ground and
28:55
it broke. It actually dented the floor. I actually had to like,
28:57
he had to pay for a replace laminate strip, right because he broke it.
29:03
But anyway, I got to the point where I would get I would
29:07
be getting complaints to the naval base through the housing development organization on the naval
29:14
base from my neighbors because they were too like you know, because Japanese people
29:18
are very like you know, they're just very reserved. They don't want to
29:19
they don't want to be confrontational, so they wouldn't come to me and say
29:23
it, but they would go to the naval base and they would complain about
29:26
my roommate because he was so loud when he would lose a game. He'd
29:33
be just like, oh my bleep it he bleep, but he bleep,
29:34
bleep, bleep in and smack things and bang things, And I'm like,
29:38
Julian, shut up. You know what, what can you do with a
29:42
kid though that's ten that is doing this? Is there anything you could say
29:47
to a kid that would be like take the games away, really some some
29:52
other constructive outlet that they can focus the kid is not Yeah, that kid
29:56
is not mentally capable. You have to get right. The behavior is the
30:02
result of an action, right, They're reacting to something, right, they're
30:06
learning that behavior and if you don't change, like, this is things we're
30:10
trying to already do with Max right, Right, It's like, how do
30:12
you correct an action that they're doing. Well, you have to look at
30:17
why they're doing that action, and then you can change that what caused him
30:22
to do that reaction and maybe understand it a little bit. But yeah,
30:25
it's wow. I mean, Andy, you you've been through this, Andy,
30:30
I mean you've got kids like no, no, no, no,
30:32
no, no, no no, no, You've you've been through what he's
30:33
just saying right there, what Sean is saying about correcting your child. And
30:37
maybe this is going off in a little bit of a tangent, but it
30:40
brings it brings a good point, like you know you're a parent, right,
30:45
Parenting is hard, man, Like I I just I just want to
30:49
tell Eric. I be like, hey, stop doing that. Don't do
30:52
it? Why because I said so, Well, he wants to know the
30:56
reason why he can't do it. I can't explain it to him, like
30:57
it's it's hard. I don't know. I didn't have that much of an
31:02
issue with the kids. They always listen seriously. Maybe we were lucky.
31:07
Maybe I don't know. Just put on that dad voice. Yeah that too
31:14
as someone knew who didn't listen. Uh. The thing that really helped with
31:18
me was understanding that losing losing a game, whether it was a video game
31:26
or a baseball game, it was not a symbol of failure. Yeah,
31:30
and even if you decide to take it as failure. The way I got
31:36
taught was failure is when you quit. So if you lose, if you
31:41
lose, if you lose but you're still trying, you're not failing. You're
31:45
learning that loss was a learning experience. If you react by lashing out,
31:51
you didn't take any lesson from that. You didn't sit there and be like,
31:53
oh, okay, well he rushed high and you know I sent my
31:57
guys to mid which means I need to watch this next time. Instead it
32:00
was you're just a piece of trash, Jeeter, Da da da dah.
32:05
You're putting the onus on them instead of and you get that away from this.
32:09
I am remembering something now, and maybe this helped. I played with
32:14
them. I remember Frankie and Ricardo had a baseball game and and they'd call
32:20
me into the room and I would play, and they would whoop my butt.
32:23
They were so good at it. But maybe it's because of my reaction.
32:29
I would laugh. I would laugh with him, go oh that was
32:31
good. You know. I didn't have that negative you know, yelling that.
32:37
Maybe that helped him because I never saw them, you know, get
32:42
like that. I would actually play the games with them, and in the
32:45
and if I lost, which usually was the case because they were much better
32:47
gamers, I took it easy. It wasn't like, oh darn it,
32:52
you know, well Max, you know, for in Shawn's case, Max
32:55
is a little young. Maybe he can you know, maybe take a few
32:59
tips from this. But I do the same thing with Eric. You know,
33:00
we'll play a game and and you know we'll you know, he'll beat
33:06
me a lot of times because he's getting good at games. But one thing
33:08
that he does sometimes and is he'll bully me in a game. Like he'll
33:14
like, we'll play a game where it's kind of like, uh, what
33:16
was the game? We're playing a goat simulator right, No, seriously,
33:20
it's actually kind of fun Goat Simulator three. But he'll bully me. He'll
33:24
just follow me around and keep head budding me and doing things and I'm like,
33:27
hey, man, stop, stop, stop, and he'll just keep
33:30
doing it and he's laughing at it because he's having fun with it. But
33:31
I'm like, i'm not because i can't actually play the game because I'm just
33:36
getting kicked around. So like I'll just I'll just I'll just hold down the
33:39
X button, turn off my controller, and I'll just set it down and
33:43
walk away. And he's like, where you going? What are you doing?
33:45
Why you why are you leaving? I'm like, I'm not gonna play
33:46
if you're just gonna keep doing that. We don't bully people. We don't
33:50
do that to our friends or family. And he's like, okay, okay,
33:53
come back, come back, play, play play, and I'm like,
33:55
all right, fine, I'll play, or like we'll play Minecraft,
33:59
and he'll build a bo around me before I can even figure out what's going
34:01
on. And now I'm trapped in this box and he's like, ha ha,
34:05
you're trapped. I'm like, I guess I'm leaving. Then, you
34:07
know. I played Smash Brothers with him once and I was taking it easy.
34:14
Yes, please tell this story, Please tell this story. I was,
34:16
and I was. I was. He was four five years old,
34:20
five years old. He was five years old. And I was like,
34:22
I'm I'm not gonna go hard on a five year old, like I'm not
34:24
gonna be that guy. And he whooped me man like he cleaned the floor
34:30
with me. It was even a contest. And he looks over and he
34:35
was like, haha, and better at this game than you. You don't
34:37
know what you're doing, haha. And I just looked at Justin was like,
34:40
may I he goes by all means and I was like, okay,
34:45
Eric, let's play again. And we got up there. I treated that
34:52
five year old child like you make him cry. I annihilated him like there
35:00
wasn't a chance for him. He's at the end, he's just like tossing
35:05
the controller down. He's crying, and I had to restrain myself from being
35:08
like, haha, you're not good at this game. I was like,
35:10
be the adult. You know what, he still hasn't He still hasn't picked
35:16
up that game since that day. That's too fuddy. That's a core memory
35:21
of trauma. Yes, yeah, yeah, we still are paying for therapy
35:24
for that. By the way, we'll send you the bill. Speaking of
35:28
games, of course, a big game gonna be coming up next Sunday.
35:31
So the question is what are we looking forward to the most? You got
35:35
halftime, You've got the game itself. Half time, Yeah, halftime,
35:38
you got the game itself. And you've got the ads. And honestly,
35:44
I've been always been a big fan of the ads during the game. This
35:47
is the one time of year I love ads, right, And they've already
35:51
been putting a teaser out for an ad starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Have you seen
35:54
the teaser for this? It's yeah, State Farm Insurance. The teaser is
36:00
agentstatefarmmovie dot com. If you go there, you can watch the teaser trailer
36:05
for it. And I wasn't sure right away. Then I realized, oh
36:07
wait, yes, you know Super Bowls coming up. That means that that's
36:12
going to be featured as an ad in the game, with of course Arnold
36:15
wearing the red shirt. But it was announced this week that door dash is
36:21
going to use its thirty second ad in the game to reveal how to win
36:25
every item advertised during a nationally broadcast spot during the Super Bowl. So that
36:32
means that they're going to be door dashing a one lucky Winner, a twenty
36:38
twenty four BMW I five All Electric, a twenty twenty four Kia EV nine,
36:44
a Volkswagen, a palette of Reese's peanut butter cups, one thousand winnings
36:47
from Popeyes. They're even going to toss it a thirty pound jug of mayonnaise,
36:52
right because it's mentioned in the ads. So again, all of the
36:57
ads will be tied in and apparently or Dash is going to be giving away
37:01
every single thing that's featured in that any Wait, so you're saying all this
37:06
stuff in one ad in one ad, and they're gonna show something like probably
37:10
like a QR code that you have to scan to sign up or yeah,
37:14
and there's gonna be some kind of a sweepstakes that Dash is using. I
37:17
don't know if they're gonna say if you order right now. I don't think
37:20
they'll do something like that. I think they're just gonna make it open.
37:23
Well they can't. They gotta say no purchase necessary. Yeah, I mean,
37:27
but somebody is going to win all of it. Every everything that is
37:31
featured in ad a getaway, a trip, you know, a B and
37:37
B Airbnb. If they're gonna be advertising, I don't know if they're gonna
37:39
give away lunch with Arnold in the state format. I just want a thirty
37:44
pound jug of mayonnaise justin I do not want to know why you want a
37:49
thirty pound giggitygy. We gotta take another commercial, coda commercial. Yes,
38:00
hold me back with more of tech Talk Radio find It to the Web.
38:02
But Tech Talk Radio duc now back to Chief Talk Radio. So we have
38:07
one listener question this week, all right, and it's data from Tucson.
38:13
And her question is I have two old computers from around two thousand and five
38:16
that I haven't used in many years. They're collecting dust in my garage.
38:22
I want to get rid of them, but not sure what I should do
38:24
and with I'm not sure where I should do this, and without my data
38:29
on them. Oh yeah, yeah, it sounds like she wants to get
38:30
rid of them, right, and she wants the data to be protected or
38:35
to be erased. Right. I can speak to this because I just did
38:39
this with a bunch of computers from my friend. You guys know, I
38:44
did this huge computer project with my friend when his uncle passed away, and
38:46
let's write, hundreds and hundreds of computers. I went through the mall,
38:52
destroyed the data forum, and then took the components to the hazardous waste department
38:58
of the county. Oh there go. Most counties, at least in Indiana,
39:02
have a e waste and hazardous waste material handling facility. It's free.
39:08
You can just load up your hazardous waste paint, LP tanks, compressed gas
39:13
tanks, whatever, and take it down there and just drop it off.
39:16
When I think of hazardous waste, I think of motherboards. Well, and
39:20
I'm thinking what about hard drives though, because you know, the the last
39:22
thing you want to do is throw a hard drive in a landfill because you'll
39:28
get to find stuff on it, bitcoins. So so I would suggest she
39:32
takes it to a local computer repair shop and just says, please take the
39:37
hard drive out and either give you the data this on it, even better,
39:43
even better, don't don't don't don't, don't. Don't trust the computer
39:45
shop to like get your data off. I mean, you should be able
39:50
to trust your local computer shop. But if you really want to do it
39:52
yourself, just take the hard drive. If it's a spinning drive, it's
39:54
like a If it's a thick, you know, metal drive, right,
39:58
which is I'm assuming that it is being as an old computer, take it
40:01
out and get a drill and start drilling through it. Drill through it.
40:07
Yeah, well, obviously be careful, but drill through it because when you
40:09
drill through it, there is no chance that anybody will ever get the data
40:15
off of it. Right, But she also says, you know, if
40:19
she doesn't want the data off of it, that's great. She wants the
40:22
data off of the drives. Picture, take it to a local computers.
40:30
Don't go to best Buy and do geek squad, or don't go to the
40:31
target or do that. Don't don't do me the big box stores, you
40:36
know, find a reputable local computer shop hold the wall place, right,
40:40
those are the best ones, Mom and pop and just say look, I've
40:44
got this computer, I don't want it, and they'll probably even take care
40:46
of it for you. Right, They'll take it off your hands, get
40:49
it and then give you the data back either as a Google file, a
40:52
Google drive link or something, so you can have your data and then store
40:57
it however you want. Then you can smash it with a hammer, drill
41:00
through it whatever. Yeah, making apart. I take my hard drives apart
41:05
for the magnets. You have done that. I've done that before too,
41:08
and I've done the drill bit on that too. You still got to be
41:12
careful or even the hammer stuff flies off. You gotta be careful you don't
41:15
get something in your eye on that. But again, make sure you've got
41:20
that data off of there that you wanted, because you're never going to get
41:22
it back if you use these technologies. You have non technologies to destroy this
41:28
hard drive. There's also this Consumer Technology Association. They have a way that
41:35
you can find, you know, for for us at Arizona, or you
41:37
guys at Denver or Sean you in Indiana, you go to ct A dot
41:43
Tech forward slash Greener dash Gadgets, uh and there you could do a search
41:49
and find a local place that will do the recycling for you. But you
41:52
know, the the main thing is your data, don't don't second guess that,
41:57
don't give away, give a box of discos that may have stuff on
42:00
there, make sure you get those destroyed, copied, whatnot. I'll tell
42:06
you just recently, I had a hard drive a computer system that was given
42:10
to me about well, I want to say it was back in twenty fifteen,
42:15
and it had been sitting there and I'd done a data recovery and copied
42:20
everything for my buddy and gave it to him and said, here's all the
42:23
data off that computer. Well, those files were still sitting on my computer.
42:29
So I'm going through and I'm deleting stuff and I'm okay, delete that,
42:31
delete that, delete that, And I'm like, what's this this folder?
42:35
And I look, it was a document, an insurance document with everybody,
42:40
everybody in the family social security number on it. Oh my god,
42:43
the full numbers. And I thought, if this would have wrote fallen into
42:45
the wrong hands, this could have been real bad for people, because that's
42:50
the information that people want. So again, document destroyed and completely. So
42:55
again it just you gotta be really careful of that. But I think that's
42:59
some advice there is take the hard drive out and donate. Some people say
43:04
well, if you're gonna donate it, you're causing that agency, like you
43:07
know, Goodwill or White Elephant or whatever you're donating to to have to put
43:10
a hard drive in to resell it. Yeah. And if if, if
43:15
that's the case, and that's what you want to do, I mean you
43:19
can always if you're if you're more tech savvy, you can just like uh
43:23
we called a d band Derek's boot and nuke. Oh yeah, just you
43:28
would earn it to a CD or a USB drive boot to it and then
43:31
you could do like a forty eight pass wipe on the hard drive. But
43:37
I firmly agree with one thing that that Sean said, do not take it
43:42
to the big box retailer tech support. I worked for the Apple Genius Bar
43:47
for since in this work you have no idea talk about cutting your teeth and
43:52
tech. I cut my teeth with the general public and learn to hate them.
43:58
Wow, don't sugarcoat it there, Matt, I worked. Uh so,
44:07
you're paying an exorbitant amount for something that will be relatively cheap to be
44:12
done at a mom and pop shop. You'll be supporting small business and looping
44:15
back to the hating people. I worked at the very first ever Apple store
44:22
in Tyson's Corner of Virginia. Oh wow, which is one of the most
44:25
affluent areas. It's kind of cool country. Yeah, it is cool.
44:30
Although I know some listener is going to have worked for the store in Glendale
44:35
Galleria in California and they're going to argue that they were the first store because
44:38
we opened at nine and they opened it eight. And then I have to
44:42
explain time zones again, in the fact that you were technically ahead of you
44:46
in the time space continuum. There you go. Thank you, Matt fit
44:51
me. We were first, but that area being so affluent, the sheer
44:57
amount of privilege that the these people had coming up to the genius bar.
45:02
Yeah, I heard. Do you know who I am? At least?
45:06
No, you didn't. Important people don't have to ask that question. I
45:10
just want to point that out to you, sir. Yeah. And also
45:14
I do know who you are because I called your name. It gets you
45:16
to come up here to talk to me. All right, Yes, I'm
45:20
aware of who you are, Derek who lives in McLean I just don't care.
45:23
Would you feel better, Matt if you went back to a different time
45:28
When it comes to tech support, imagine this job and just fell into your
45:34
lap in Germany? All right? Have you ever been to Germany? I
45:37
have not. I've been to Italy, not Germany. All right, Germany,
45:40
the railway there is looking for an IT admin, an IT admin,
45:47
which is what you do now, right justin I mean, you're kind of
45:50
like the it guy. Tech Spot had the story they're looking for an IT
45:54
admin to manage DAS and Windows three point one one. I'm out, not
46:02
enough money in the world, man, How hard could it be? Dude?
46:07
It's gonna be insanely hard because there's no support for it. And I
46:09
don't even think those connect to the internet, do they They probably don't.
46:14
They're probably it's probably legacy machines that have a purpose and they don't want to
46:19
upgrade, so they just leave it that way. I would take that job,
46:22
says the admin. Would purportedly oversee systems with one hundred and sixty six
46:27
MEE hours processors with eight megabytes of ramps. Oh imagine calling Microsoft support now
46:36
and they're like, what operating SYSTM system? Are you running Windows for work
46:39
groups three point one one? And then just hearing the support bust out laughing.
46:45
No, they're just what are you running? Be like, no,
46:49
really, I'm in Germany. This is what we're running. The job pays
46:52
pretty good, I mean really, well it better it better be having like
46:55
a million dollars a year to deal with that. Wow. You know,
46:59
it's funny because we had at this radio station Windows three point one one in
47:05
use until about two years ago on our radio automation system. And you know,
47:12
we made the switch and we upgraded of course, but it worked.
47:16
It just didn't get You saw a lot of digital carts, digital audio carts
47:20
running three point one one. Yeah, yeah, just it was. It
47:22
was pretty amazing. But now they need somebody to help with the railway.
47:28
So so fun fact, in this article it lists the OS three point one
47:31
to one released in nineteen ninety two. They stopped supporting it December thirty first,
47:37
two thousand and one. Wow. That's twenty two years ago. Twenty
47:44
three years ago. Wow. So you'd have to know. The federal government
47:51
ended up entering into a deal with Microsoft to get additional extended support for it
47:58
was either it was either XP year seven and they got yeah XP XP.
48:04
They got a specialized contract for like another five years because Microsoft was like,
48:07
we're not going to support it, and you're like, do you want the
48:09
country to run? You're gonna support it? Yeah? No, they and
48:14
and the Navy. I think it was the Department Department of the Navy that
48:16
actually did this. And it was insanely expensive for them to continue the support
48:23
for Windows XP because when I was in when when I was in the Navy,
48:29
uh, Windows XP was you know, it was the primary operating system.
48:35
I mean, granted we had just started moving to Windows seven, but
48:38
most of the computers were Windows XP. And meanwhile, the Air Force is
48:45
sitting over there laughing, going, h We're on Windows Vista and we're like,
48:50
oh yeah, but are you laughing though? Like are you really bragging
48:55
about Windows Vista? TikTok radio is still a microsof bob what he's saying.
49:00
Yeah, but no now, but speaking speaking of I mean, look at
49:04
look at okay, look at the different editions of Windows. This is a
49:07
widely known fact. Right, okay, let's go back to uh, let's
49:12
let's start with Windows ninety five. Right. Windows ninety five sucked, right,
49:15
Windows ninety eight Actually, no, I'm sorry, let me say,
49:19
let me restart. Window ninety five was pretty cool. Windows ninety eight sucked.
49:22
Windows ninety eight second edition better Windows Emmy sucked. Windows XP probably one
49:31
of the best. Yeah. Then Windows Vista wait sucked. Windows seven.
49:37
We're not gonna call that Windows seven awesome. Windows eight sucked, Windows ten
49:44
rolls, Windows eleven sucks. This year they're talking about releasing Windows twelve.
49:51
Yeah, if you go on that same path, that means Windows twelve should
49:57
be awesome. Have any of you guys anything about Windows twelve yet, Sean,
50:00
No, I mean I've seen I've seen mockups of what it might look
50:05
like. I mean, they're bringing back the start menu, like where it's
50:08
supposed to be. I don't know any have you heard anything about it?
50:10
I just remember when they said Windows ten was the last OS they were going
50:15
to release. Yep, I know, I remember that, and I was
50:17
like, wow, that's gonna be different. It'll just be updates. Then
50:21
they changed their course and said, no, we're gonna actually put out new
50:23
numbers. Now think about this. By October of twenty twenty five, more
50:28
than a billion PCs will be running a debt operating system. They're no longer
50:34
going to be putting it out, leaving many computers vulnerable to malware trash.
50:39
I mean it's gonna be terrible, and that means they're going to be open.
50:43
So it's gonna be You think it's bad now, it's gonna be worse
50:46
than in twenty twenty five unless Microsoft finds a way to get people to upgrade
50:51
to eleven without the what they've been doing. They've said, well you can
50:55
if you qualify because you have the right equipment. Well, I just got
50:59
to email today from our one of our big vendors that we buy a lot
51:02
of computers from for our district, and they said, look, starting next
51:08
month, you will no longer be able to buy a computer with Windows ten
51:13
if it's eligible for Windows eleven as per our license agreement with Microsoft. So
51:21
if that computer can run Windows eleven, you will have to buy it with
51:25
Windows eleven, which is ninety five percent of their computers they sell. Wow,
51:30
it's gonna be crazy. All right, another quick break, we come
51:32
back with more of tech Talk Radio, and now back to tech Talk Radio.
51:37
Hey, this is Mike Nelson from Mystery Science Theater and rifftracks dot com,
51:40
and you're listening to the greatest show on the planet, tech Talk Radio.
51:45
So morning, how many of you guys have used power banks. When
51:49
it comes to your smartphones, you haven't. Do you have a particular model
51:52
or brand that you like over the others? Ankor anchor ancher? Well,
52:00
I just actually got one. It's not an anchor one or anchor? Oh
52:02
is it is pronounced uncle is? I think, yeah, isn't it Okay?
52:06
Maybe anchor whatever. I do have an anchor one, but I do
52:08
have a really big one too, and I just got it. It was
52:12
a Black Friday deal. Yeah, there we go. Everybody's holding up their
52:15
ancors. It's something I've ever't heard of this show ever. Yeah, everybody
52:20
that could be the name of the show too. Everybody's holding up their ancors.
52:24
But I got this. I got this big one. I mean this
52:27
thing is a honker. Okay, it's not an anchor, it's a honker.
52:30
It's huge. It's like, oh my gosh, it's like fifty thousand
52:35
milliwatt hour battery or something like that. And it was like twenty bucks on
52:39
Black Friday. Well, this one I got, uh just showed on TV
52:44
is a ten thousand MILLI am. It takes a little while. You only
52:46
get about two charges out of it. Uh before you know recharging. This
52:52
was twenty seven dollars. I mean it's not bad. Ancor is really good
52:54
brand. Yeah, kr, I think I paid thirty seven for this one,
53:00
and it's I want to say, it's a fifty thousand fifty while the
53:05
one that Matt's holding in this is about the size of the one that I
53:07
have, right, But I mean this has a dual purpose. If I'm
53:12
camping and I'm using this and someone's in my campsite they're not supposed to be,
53:15
I can just wing this at their head. It's pretty thick. Uh.
53:19
Here's the new one from Anker. This is the Sulex And what this
53:22
is is basically you've got the little power box that's on the back, but
53:27
it is iPad case. It is a solar panel, so it unfolds and
53:34
unfolds. It puts out thirty watts, so you can I mean, so
53:37
it's not an amazing amount. It's about one percent per minute. I want
53:42
that on your charge. There were only about fifty five bucks. I want
53:45
that. So pretty nice and you can just go understand that to me,
53:49
William. There was another one that we bought for camping. I got it
53:54
on Amazon so I can look it up real cool, Sean. I'm saying,
53:59
Sean would love shot like this if I were to buy one right now.
54:04
So we have a we have a we have a actual gas generators for
54:07
a camper. We also have solar panels on our camper. We've got two
54:10
hundred and eighty watts of solar panels on the roof of a camper. Wow,
54:14
We've got an extra hundred watt portable that we had for our previous camper
54:17
that all ties into two a GM batteries and series six volt batteries and series
54:23
so we get twelve. This guy apocalypses. This guy apocalypse. But if
54:30
I had to buy one right now, I would buy one from rock Pals.
54:34
Rock Pals makes solar generators, so it'll store, it'll solar. You
54:38
know, you can buy and expand it as far as much as you want.
54:44
But rock Pals you can find them on Amazon. They're relatively inexpensive for
54:46
what they are, and they're all lithium with lithium iron phosphate batteries. What's
54:52
the name of that company again, rock Pals, rock Pals. So you're
54:57
just saying that the lithium iron that's different, right, Lithium iron phosphate is
55:01
the newest like lithium ion battery style, you know whatever, the deposit of
55:08
al you know, all the chemicals and stuff and it's the most efficient.
55:13
Very cool. All right. Well that's that's all the time we have for
55:15
