1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: I had some time to kill and I made my

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: way through too many episodes of Love is Blind and

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: everybody hates this season and hates everybody on this show

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: from the go, and I did two, but for some reason,

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: I fell into another episode and I took I took

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: the drugs. I took the drugs. I took the Love

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Is Blind drugs and I got hooked. And I've been

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: telling people who are like, no, I'm not watching it.

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: I hate everybody.

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, you have to make it to episode four

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: because honestly, it is insane what happens and Love is Blind.

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: They've gone too far. It's too much. It is cringe.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: It was like, I'm cringing. I hit pause, going I

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: can't do this anymore. I can't watch this play. Oh

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: my god, I get do it pause like and it's

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: it's And I feel bad that I'm trying to sell

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: people on this because I want them to have to

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: live through episode four the way I had to live

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: through it.

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: That's great.

21
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: At the top of next how we're going to do

22
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: our trending stories. Also the bane of my existence. These

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: e bikes that have become so fast, so big, and

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: kids rolling around have no idea how dangerous they are

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: because I'm an old man and I need you to

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: get off my lawn.

27
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: But first, it's tech Talk. The machines are getting smarter.

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: This is tech Talk, brought to you by Sky Nat.

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 3: And Mark Saltzman joins us on Thursdays to talk about

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: tech and everything that is going on.

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: Mark, how's it been?

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: All good? Yeah, I'm good.

34
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 5: All right on my phone instead of our fancy box.

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 5: That makes it sound like I'm in the studio with you.

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 5: But hopefully it sounds good enough to our listeners. Good

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 5: to chow with you.

38
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, just sound great.

39
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: One of the things I was just talking with Shannon

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: off the air about a doorbell video doorbell thing, and

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: it can help you with your hoa, it can help

42
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: you with your neighbors, it can help you solve crimes,

43
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: and now it can help you find missing pets.

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

45
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I was at Amazon's event in New York

46
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 5: last week where they showed off new hardware, including their

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 5: new ring video doorbells, and one of the features that's

48
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 5: coming next month is it's opt in. But should you

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 5: miss be missing your your dog, let's say he or

50
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 5: she escapes in the neighborhood. You can push a message

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 5: out to those who have opted into this feature to

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 5: the community, to your neighborhood, and if the doorbell recognizes

53
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 5: the dog using AI, it will tell the owner.

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: That it's there. And if you are.

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 5: The homeowner who who owns that ring doorbell, you would

56
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 5: hopefully bring the dog in and contact the person, which

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: is all part of this opt in feature. But you know,

58
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 5: according to Amazon, millions of pets go missing every year

59
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 5: in the country. And so if this can you play

60
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 5: a small part to reunite your dog and soon to

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 5: other animals as well. But it's starting with dogs. It's

62
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 5: it's a move in the right direction. Yeah, So this

63
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: is going to be part of the new ring service

64
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 5: will be coming starting November.

65
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Do you have a dog.

66
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: We are dog.

67
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 5: Sitting right now, a one hundred and seventy pound Bernese

68
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: Mountain dog named Moguli.

69
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

70
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: Is that the kind of dog that has the little

71
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: keg of liquor on it?

72
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 5: I think that's I think that's a that's a cousin

73
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: to the Saint Bernard.

74
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: Is this from the Jungle Book?

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, my niece named named him that,

76
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: and yeah, lots from the neighbors.

77
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 5: But he's the most docile, biggest dog you've you've seen.

78
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 5: He just looks at other dogs that yelp around him.

79
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: When I took him out for a walk this morning,

80
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: he doesn't even looks at them for a second and

81
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,279
Speaker 5: turns keeps walking like he does no interest in engaging.

82
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 5: But yeah, he's big and he's hairy. But so yeah,

83
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 5: a robot back is on over overtime, over time right now.

84
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: But he's so docile. Yeah, Mowgli's the best.

85
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: Oh man, how old is?

86
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: He turned seven last week before she went out of town.

87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 5: She made them liver a liver based birthday.

88
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: Yum yum, yum yum yum.

89
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: Would say that there's a bunch of a bunch of

90
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: the Amazon stuff that you were talking about. There's an

91
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: article from the National Post that that we will also

92
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: throw a link up to. But I was also interested

93
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: in Meta using your conversations with its AI chatbot in

94
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: order to turn around and market products to you.

95
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: They're going to sell you stuff.

96
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

97
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 5: So there's been, as you would expect, some pushback on this,

98
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: and the details are still a bit vague.

99
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: But companies, even though they're raking in like.

100
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: Countless, uh countless millions, if not billions, all the big

101
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 5: tech companies that they still want more.

102
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: So we're seeing mea saying that they.

103
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 5: Want to customize ads that you're seeing based on what

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 5: you're writing, but not knowing that it's you Gary or

105
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 5: you Shannon. It's it's it's like anonymized, but they still

106
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 5: know that you're interested in something and they're going to

107
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: cater things to you. Now, there's obviously we're going to

108
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 5: see if this actually rolls out. And similarly, I read

109
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: today that Samsung with their new fridges, you know they

110
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 5: have these screens on them, They're going to these fridges

111
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 5: start at eighteen hundred dollars. They're going to start displaying

112
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: ads and promotions on the screen for you based on

113
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: your case literally, which is obviously very upsetting to some

114
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 5: people as well. I mean, it just doesn't end. We're

115
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 5: paying for you know, we talked about Amazon a moment ago.

116
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 5: We're paying for Amazon Prime, and now they're putting ads

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: back into the TV shows and movies unless you pay more.

118
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: But we're already paying for Amazon Prime. So yeah, this

119
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 5: is a trend. That's a disturbing trend, but it could

120
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: be the way it's gonna go oway.

121
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that the meta meta.

122
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 5: Is so big and they make so much money with

123
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 5: the exception of WhatsApp because there aren't really ads yet

124
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: on WhatsApp. That's but everything else like threads and Facebook

125
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 5: and Instagram that feeds the WhatsApp, you know, because that's

126
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 5: that's the one they haven't really monetized yet. So this

127
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: it's it's going to We're going to start seeing more

128
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 5: stuff on WhatsApp for us.

129
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Amazon's having its Prime Days of course, and there's

130
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: always great tech products that you can get during Amazon

131
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: Prime Days. Any suggestions, Yeah, there's a couple.

132
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 5: So today's the last day of their Fall Prime Day,

133
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 5: So if you are looking to buy some holiday gifts

134
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 5: a little bit earlier, then you may have anticipated a

135
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 5: couple of ones I'd rattle off here. Apple air Tags

136
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: a four pack for sixty five bucks is thirty four

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 5: percent off. That's a really great price, so if you

138
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 5: do have to be an iPhone user. But they're the

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 5: best bluetooth tracker, I would argue. I just wrote an

140
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 5: article yet today for Costco Connection magazine about air Tag,

141
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, certainly the best to track all of your

142
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 5: stuff from your suitcase, to your wallet, to your purse,

143
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 5: even your TV remote or your fur a friend.

144
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: Even though Apple tells you not to put them on.

145
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 5: Dog leashes for fear that they may swallow them, which

146
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: is a good point, but that's a really good price.

147
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: The Anchor Laptop power Bank for ninety dollars, which is

148
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 5: forty five dollars off, is that power bank that you

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: would use typically to charge up your phone or your tablet,

150
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 5: but it has so much power that it can also

151
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 5: power up your laptop. So if you have a laptop

152
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 5: with the USBC connection, this little power bank that you

153
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 5: would carry with you, is a twenty five million amp

154
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 5: power bank, which is a lot and it will charge

155
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: up a laptop, so you don't have to bring a

156
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: power cable with you on a business trip. If you know,

157
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: or if you're on a plane and it does not

158
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 5: have an AC outlet in front of you can use

159
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: that power bank. The Roku Streaming Stick Plus is only

160
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 5: twenty four dollars, which forty percent off. That is one

161
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: of the best streaming devices. To turn a regular TV

162
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 5: into a smarter one, just plug it into the side

163
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 5: or the back and again for twenty four bucks, you

164
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 5: can't go wrong. That's a good stocking stuffer. And then finally,

165
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,560

168
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: do not need to keep cleaning the or emptying the

169
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: the dust bin underneath the robot itself. It will drive

170
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 5: itself to a base that's plugged into the wall, where

171
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: it not only recharges, but dumps all that dust and

172
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 5: pet hair and dirt into another bag that you only

173
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 5: have to clean every month or so. So good, some

174
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: good deals there on Amazon today.

175
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 3: So I can I get a robot to empty the

176
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: bag that stuff goes in and then I don't have

177
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: to take out.

178
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: The trash, take out the freaking track.

188
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: I've not stopped thinking about them and dreaming about them

189
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: and playing them, since parlays are nothing but fun.

190
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: But it's a big if game.

191
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: If this happens, and if this happens, and if this happens,

192
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: and if this happens, then you could be in the money.

193
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: But how much fun is it to think about such

194
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,600
