1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: It's time for a tech segment with our tech guy,

00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: on KTLA channel five, one of the few people I've

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: not been fired. You can follow him on Instagram at

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: rich on Tech website, rich on Tech dot tv.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: You're still working there, right Rich?

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 3: I will tell you. I just had my review and

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: it was glowing. Okay, what is it?

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't answer my question. You're still working there.

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: Right, Well, my key card still works, Let's put it

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 3: that way. Okay.

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: They haven't had a chance to change yet, right, Okay,

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: never mind.

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: I'm still here, Bill, Come on, Okay, I.

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: Know I'm just harassing you because like every other outlet,

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: every other TV radio station, they're cutting like crazy, and

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: just kt KTLA happens to be one of the ones

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: that they looked at. Anyway, believe no kidding coming in.

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Let's start right now. There is obviously a huge issue

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: of the price of gasoline out there, so DoorDash is

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: launching an emergency gas relief program for drivers, and I'm

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: thrilled because I always thought gas X wasn't really effective.

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: So what is DoorDash doing for us?

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, this is this is Look, if you drive

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 3: for Uber or door Dash or Lyft, I mean you're

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: probably feeling the pinch because I don't know about you,

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: but I've seen these gas prices and they're you know,

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: they're hitting like six dollars a gallon practically. So DoorDash

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: has this new relief program running through next month at

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: least right for now. If you drive at least one

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five miles a week, you get a

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 3: weekly payment starting at five dollars, which is worth about

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: a dollar to a dollar fifty per gallon in savings.

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: If you drive two hundred and fifty miles, that goes

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: up to fifteen dollars a week. You can also stack

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: that with I guess DoorDash has a debit card. It's

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: called the Crimson debit card. You can also get ten

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: percent cash back on that, So if you're doing that combined,

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: your savings could reach up to two dollars a gallon.

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: I would also add, and I'm not sure how their

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: program works exactly like where the refund comes in, but

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: there's that upside app that I use for my wife,

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: and you can save a lot of money doing that

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: as well. So but here's the trick. You got to

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: get your friends to sign up for it. That's how

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: you get the biggest bonuses. So when you sign up,

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: you immediately have to recruit your friends and then you'll

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: get like a much larger bonus on your cash back.

50
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: So that's called upside by the way.

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also called direct marketing. Uh, it works that way.

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: If you're buying Amway products, for example, that works very well.

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: Now, level marketing, that's some of those that's like, uh yeah,

54
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: you got to get there, you gotta get all there.

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: It's like here you can make money by signing up

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: all your friends to buy the same junk that you're

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: not using now.

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: And there are some companies where it really works.

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: I make fun of Amway that those are great products,

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: but you're right, most of the companies are out there.

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: They make money on you signing people up.

62
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 3: They're still around.

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no they are. They are not too many of them,

64
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: but they're still around. Now.

65
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: As I see gas prices going up, and you're right,

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: every day I'm looking at gas prices going up, my

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: reaction is I just chuckle and gas price, pardon why

68
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: because I have an EV.

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: That's why.

70
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: Oh see, I okay, I've an EV which I've had

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: for now six years, and I love it. And I know,

72
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: you know, everyone's worried about like, oh, charging this and that.

73
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: I don't build. You have a charger at home?

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, and I have a solar system as

75
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: well as a battery system for the evenings, So effectively,

76
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't pay.

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't pay for electricity, right.

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: Like, you've got the best best case scenario sign up.

79
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: I think most people are, you know, they might start

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: with a charger at home, which, by the way, these

81
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: guys that install the chargers, these people that install the

82
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: charge they know that people want these things. What I

83
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: paid to get my charger installed six years ago, you

84
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: can't touch an installation for that price anymore. It's much

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: more expensive. But the point is, you know that having

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: that charger at home is really the biggest benefit of

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: having an EV because you're not looking when you're commuting

88
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: on a daily basis, you're not looking for a place

89
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: to charge. You're charging at home overnight, and you start

90
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: with what I call full tank. So I think a

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: lot of people kind of miss that aspect of evs.

92
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: And one of the things about chargers then we'll move

93
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: into other topics, is the number of chargers are exploding

94
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: across the country. I mean they're being put up by

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: the tens of thousands every every year. I think two

96
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: thousand just since the beginning of the year across the country.

97
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: What I don't understand is how every single charger is

98
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: not a supercharger in public charging areas. I mean, are

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: you going to sit there my charger at home, which

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: is a Class two twenty charger, it's like eight hours

101
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: for a full charge.

102
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you go and you're going to a public

104
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: charging station, what do you do? Sit there for three

105
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: four hours? Supercharger different twenty thirty minutes. So I don't

106
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: understand public non supercharging stations.

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: I just don't get it.

108
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know why they do that. Yeah, please,

109
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: you know why? You know, just take one guess what

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: it comes down.

111
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: To, obviously money, but if you're charging, but if you're

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: charging people commensurate for a supercharge, people will pay for it.

113
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: Well. Yeah, but here's the thing. If I you know,

114
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: let's say I have a little charger area, you know,

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: the big like the gas stations that are putting in

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: the chargers like the big like rest stops. A lot

117
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: of them are starting to put in the faster chargers.

118
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: But when it first started, you know, besides Tesla, it's

119
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: very expensive to add the infrastructure for that fast charging,

120
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: so a lot of places just went with like the

121
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: cheap you know. Okay, I can put a charger on

122
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: my property. Now I have an EV charger stop, you know,

123
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: that doesn't cut it anymore because nobody wants to stop

124
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: there for eight hours. So I think we're seeing more

125
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: and more, you know, a better selection of chargers. Especially

126
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: a lot of the new cars can use the Tesla superchargers,

127
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: so I think it's getting better. I still think those

128
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: random third party chargers you see everywhere very hit or

129
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: miss still to this day.

130
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Okay, and so you have an EV what six year

131
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: old EV? I didn't know they were that old. Which

132
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: one do you have?

133
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: Well, so I had to number one. My old car

134
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: was five years old. It was a Tesla. Got into

135
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: an accident and that was totaled. So I got another Tesla.

136
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: And yeah, so it's only a year old. But still

137
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: that my old Tesla that was five years old literally

138
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: look brand new. That's the beauty of these cars are

139
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: kind of like an iPhone where they the software just

140
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: keeps making them better and so you know, there's not

141
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: as much maintenance as you would have on a regular

142
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: gas car.

143
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense too, except you go through tires

144
00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: like crazy.

145
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: Yes, that is true.

146
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean I couldn't believe eighteen thousand miles. I had

147
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: to replace the tires and I said, come on, really

148
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: goes Oh you've gone eighteen thousand. That's great. Oh, thank you,

149
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: there's twenty the way you're burning rubber, Bill, Yeah, that's me.

150
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a rubber burner for sure. That's my style.

151
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Google Maps has rolled out a new app Gemini of

152
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: powered feature called ask Maps.

153
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: Okay, what's that about?

154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: It is super super cool Bill this. You know. They

155
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: announced it a couple of weeks ago, and it takes

156
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: a while for Google when they mentioned something for it

157
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: to actually reach phones. So yesterday as I was just

158
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: kind of checking my phone to see if it was there,

159
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: sure enough, there's a new button if you open up

160
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: Google Maps on iPhone or Android right at the top

161
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: under the search bar that says ask Maps. And what

162
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: they're doing is they are taking all of the world's

163
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: information that's kind of built into Google Maps. All the

164
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: reviews people leave play us, all the Google information, and

165
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: they're building that into a database that you can now

166
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: search kind of on top of maps with. So instead

167
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: of saying I want the best you know, pizza place,

168
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: or just say pizza place, as you would search in

169
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 3: Google Maps, now you can say I want the best

170
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: pizza place with a cauliflower crust, and it will find

171
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: exactly what you're looking for in the Maps app. You

172
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: can take it a step further. You can say I'm

173
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: planning a road trip. I want to stop in Laguna

174
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: on my way to you know, San Diego, or I

175
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: want to stop halfway between the two, and it will

176
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: figure that stuff out. So I mean, it's it's just

177
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 3: taking what we typically do in search on maps and

178
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: just making it so much smarter and so much more

179
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: natural language.

180
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I can ask it. I'm going to do

181
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: try it today. You know, where can I get good cocaine?

182
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're going to send me to whatever

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: drug house out there. I don't know why I said that,

184
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Yes I do, because I had to get some kind

185
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: of a reaction to night.

186
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 2: Now I type in or where do you want to go?

187
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm sorry.

188
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: Says no. No results found in Google Maps. So now

189
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: that's on my search history forever. Thank you.

190
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: There you and you're going to get every drug dealer

191
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,760

Speaker 3: Here's your cooper erase my history here.

194
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: You dive an overdose pretty much is all you can do.

195
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: Now you can ask it with just saying take me too.

196
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: But you can do that on ways and that's on

197
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: Google and that all of that works right anyway?

198
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's yeah, that's your stand.

199
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: That's that's pretty that's yeah, that's no big deal. I understand.

200
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: But that's that's kind of neat.

201
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: And will they and will this feeds your ass maps

202
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: rate let's say the pizza places or give a rating

203
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: to a restaurant in addition to find me a cauliflower pizza.

204
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, how specific and how deep.

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: Does it go?

206
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 3: As deep and specific as you want so you can say,

207
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: let's see, let's just say find me the best. I mean,

208
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: here's the thing. I think it's really coming down to,

209
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: like specifics like it used to be, Like Okay, for instance,

210
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: I was in New York City, right, and I wanted

211
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: I was. I wanted salmon for dinner, like a nice

212
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: like grilled piece of salmon. And how do you find

213
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: that at a restaurant? Like I get it. A steakhouse

214
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: is going to have it some restaurants. But like, what

215
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 3: if you want to find like a very specific dish

216
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: that you're looking for near where you're staying. It's like

217
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: you could search for that, but you're not necessarily gonna

218
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 3: find it, you know perfectly. Now you can say, find

219
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: me the highest rated, you know, grilled salmon dish near me,

220
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, and it will it will help you unearth

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: those things.

222
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Okay, here's what I'm gonna throw at you with trepidation.

223
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm taking a flyer here. What is the

224
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,920

Speaker 2: Give me that one.

226
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if it can can it navigate that

227
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: I don't know ask? I mean that that might be

228
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: just regular Google Like this is like we're trying to

229
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: navigate to these places. Let's see, I asked best morning show.

230
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: Morning radio show in Los Angeles is, by the way,

231
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 3: it's really cheeky with its with It's like when it

232
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: searches as launching five expeditions instead of saying like, okay, interesting,

233
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: it does give you the information and yeah there you are,

234
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: Bill right there.

235
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,680

236
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,480

237
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: No, no, you're right here. It's just it's got like

238
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: you know, the top people and you're it's got Ellen

239
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 3: k Seacrest, Woody and you Okay, there you go, all

240
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: right under the classic classic hits and talk.

241
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, all right, I feel good.

242
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 3: Now I'll take that. That's pretty good.

243
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: Take that too. Yeah.

244
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: And uh, here's one the SCC banning foreign made Wi

245
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: Fi routers. Uh and that makes sense. And you know,

246
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: is that simply political? Financial? Is it? Is it security?

247
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: Where's it? All of it?

248
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of everything. So, but

249
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: I mean, technically, the FCC is saying that the you know,

250
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: the cyber attacks that we've seen in the US were

251
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 3: from foreign made routers that were used to target American infrastructure.

252
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: And that's that is true. We have seen that. And

253
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: here's the problem. You've got an entire network of routers

254
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: in the US and every single person's home that we

255
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: are not one hundred percent sure of the security of

256
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: these routers. Now, the companies that make them say absolutely,

257
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: they're fine. I mean these are brands like Tpe, Link, Asus, Netgear,

258
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: d Link, Linksys, Eo, Google, and s WiFi. I would

259
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: say about sixty percent of routers are made in China,

260
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: and so this is going to be a big change. Now,

261
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: just so you know, you do not have to throw

262
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: your router out. You don't have to change anything right now.

263
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: It's it's moving forward. So retailers can sell through the

264
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 3: stock they have, but moving forward, we're going to see

265
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: some new rules on these foreign made routers. How are

266
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: they going to do this, I don't know because so

267
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: many of these are made overseas. They're gonna ether have

268
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: to bring this manufacturing home or everyone's gonna buy euro

269
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 3: and Google nests because those are two of the main

270
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: brands that are made here. So I'm not sure how

271
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: this is going to work, but it is a big

272
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: change in what we do here in the US.

273
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: All right, Rich, thank you as always.
