1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to tech Stuff, a production from I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Hey there, and welcome to tech Stuff. I'm your host, 3 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive producer with I Heart Radio. 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: And how the tech are you? I'm gonna I'm gonna 5 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: workshop that for a while. So it is time for 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: the tech news for Tuesday, January four, twenty twenty two. 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: Actually have to look at the date, because, as is 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: the usual, it'll take me about a month to remember 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: that we're actually in a new year. And let's get 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: to the news. The trial of Elizabeth Holmes has concluded 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: with a jury delivering the founder of Sara Nos a 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: mixed bag of verdicts. So for those who don't know, 13 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: Sara Nos was a biotech medical startup founded by Holmes 14 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: with the aim of producing a desktop technology capable of 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: running more than a hundred medical tests on a single 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: micro drop of blood. The company raised somewhere in the 17 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: neighborhood of nine billion dollars in investments and turned homes 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: into a Silicon Valley celebrity. She also gained a lot 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: of attention for seemingly emulating the late Steve Jobs, including 20 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: adopting the black turtleneck as her signature look. While the 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: company received a lot of attention and enthusiasm from investors 22 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: who were sold on the prospect that this tech could 23 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: disrupt the entire medical industry and represent a huge business, 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: things were not going so well at the company itself. 25 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: A Wall Street Journal expose a revealed that the company's 26 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: promises stretched far beyond its capabilities and led to investigations 27 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: that bring us up to this trial, Holmes had faced 28 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: eleven criminal charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit 29 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: wire fraud. Of those, the jury found her not guilty 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: on four accounts, guilty on another four accounts, and they 31 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: couldn't come to a decision on the remaining three counts. 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: The judge declared a mistrial in the case of those 33 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: three counts. That means that technically prosecutors could bring a 34 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: new case against Holmes. She could face up to twenty 35 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. 36 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised, however, if her lawyers appealed 37 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: her case. Meanwhile, her business partner and former romantic interest, 38 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: Ramesh Sunny Balwanni, who served as the chief operating officer 39 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: for the company, is to stand trial facing similar criminal 40 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: charges in February. Throughout the trial, Holmes maintained it was 41 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: Balwanni who was at fault for the crimes. So this 42 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: story isn't over over, but the initial trial is. It 43 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: will be interesting to see what bal Wanne's arguments will 44 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: be when that trial comes to pass. Okay, let's do 45 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: a very quick round up on some news that has 46 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: happened since we went on break, and I'm going to 47 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: start with some news about politicians in the United States 48 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: and social network platforms. First, there's the case of House 49 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Representative Marjorie Taylor Green from my state of Georgia. Now, 50 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to spare you my personal thoughts about Green, 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: and I'll just say I believe there may be no 52 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: position upon which the both of us agree. That's the 53 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: classy way to say it, I guess. Anyway, Twitter recently 54 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: permanently suspended Green's personal account it was a verified Twitter account, 55 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: even after that account received at least five strikes for 56 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: spreading misinformation about COVID nineteen. And y'all, my state's been 57 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: hit pretty hard by COVID, So the fact that a 58 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: rep from my own state is effectively working against her 59 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: own constituents is just playing crazy anyway. Following that, Facebook 60 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: removed a post from Green that was, you know, in 61 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: light of this suspend mention, uh you know, Facebook also 62 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: removed a post saying that it also violated their policies. However, 63 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: they said that Green Green's transgressions did not merit a 64 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: full suspension from Facebook, so she's still active there. The 65 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: move has prompted a total crap storm here in America, 66 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: with some folks like Joe Rogan urging people to leave Twitter. 67 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: On Moss and late night talk show hosts are rejoicing 68 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: in her removal. So you know, that whole issue with 69 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: the left and right growing further apart from each other 70 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: is just going swimmingly well in my country. Anyway. Green 71 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: isn't the only conservative to part ways with a social network, though. 72 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: I should also add that her official account as a 73 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: representative for Georgia remains active, so her personal account has 74 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: been suspended, but she does still have access to her 75 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, official account as a representative of the House 76 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: of Representatives. Anyway. U S Senator Ran Paul, another Conservative, 77 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: has left YouTube, but this time it's Paul's decision sort 78 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: of see light Green Paul was dinged for spreading misinformation 79 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: about the COVID pandemic, and his account was suspended by 80 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: YouTube on two separate occasions. Paul now says he will 81 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: no longer post to YouTube unless it's two dunk on them, 82 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: and otherwise he will post his messages on other places, 83 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: going on to tell conservatives that because they make up 84 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: about half the country, they could put a real hurt 85 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: on networks like YouTube just by not using those those platforms. 86 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how persuasive that argument actually is, either 87 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: to YouTube or to is, you know, the people he's 88 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: speaking to. I do know it's pretty disgusting to make 89 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: arguments about freedom of speech when that speech in question 90 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: is all about spreading misinformation that consequently leads to people 91 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: getting sick and dying. Uh. I think that is pretty abhorrent. 92 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: Something else that happened over the break was the successful 93 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: launch of the James web Space Telescope. According to NASA, 94 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: the mission so far has progressed as smoothly as could 95 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: be hoped, which must be a relief after the numerous 96 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: delays that pushed back the telescope's launch multiple times, including 97 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: that scary moment late last year when vibrations moved through 98 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: the telescope as it was being attached to its launch vehicle. Uh, 99 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: the telescope is so delicate that there was a concern 100 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: that those vibrations could have misaligned things, which means that 101 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: the process of the telescope unpacking itself could have been, 102 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, compromised. So it is currently on its way 103 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: to its destination, which will take it beyond the moon, 104 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: and teams are working on the process by which the 105 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: telescope will unpack and unfold itself. That includes unfolding a 106 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: five layer sun shield layer by layer, and each layer 107 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,119 Speaker 1: is about as thick as a human hair. And also 108 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: you've got all those numerous mirrors that will reflect light 109 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: to the telescope's sensors. According to the BBC, the process 110 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: has three separate quote single point failures end quote involved. 111 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: Now that means that each of those points represents a 112 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: moment where if things don't go well, then nothing that 113 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: follows that step will work. So it's kind of like 114 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: if your plan is to go out and go shopping 115 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: and then you want to go catch a movie, and 116 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: then you're gonna go out to dinner, but as you 117 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: leave the house you find out your car has just 118 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: been crushed by a meteor. Well, that medior crushing your 119 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: car was kind of the single point of failure because 120 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: none of the rest of your plans are going to 121 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: work out because your cars been crushed. Same sort of idea. However, 122 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: NASA reps have stressed that there's no reason to be 123 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: tense about this, that they've practiced this numerous times, they 124 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: know what they're doing, and the whole procedure is likely 125 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: to be boring. That's actually their words, and you know what, 126 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: after years of setbacks, boring actually sounds kind of nice. 127 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: While the James Webb is in many ways the successor 128 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: to the venerable Hubble space telescope, that does not mean 129 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: the Hubble is done with adding to our scientific knowledge. Recently, 130 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: NASA released an image captured by the Hubble telescope showing 131 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: the spiral galaxy in GC one oh five aligning with 132 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: a second galaxy. And because it's impossible to really judge 133 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: depth just by looking at a two dimensional image, the 134 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: first impression you might have is that what we're looking 135 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: at is two galaxies colliding with one another. Now, that 136 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: kind of thing does happen, but in this case, the 137 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: image shows the galaxies are just lining up from our perspective, 138 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: kind of like how Mars can line up with Jubiter. 139 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean Mars is crashing into Jubiter, just means 140 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: that from our perspective they're in line with each other. 141 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: It's a pretty cool image, which you can see on 142 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: NASA's website about the Hubble. And while we're talking about space, 143 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: I have a fun story that involves satellites and one 144 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: of the Internet's favorite topics. Not bacon because that pretty 145 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: much fizzled out like five years ago. I'm talking about cats. Okay, 146 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: So space Sex has this project called Starlink, and this 147 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: uses tiny satellites in orbit to provide satellite internet connections 148 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: down here on Earth. They're running a relatively small beta 149 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: program right now in a pretty uh constricted region to 150 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: test it out. So right now, the star Link network 151 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: consists of slightly fewer than two thousand satellites, so there 152 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: are a lot up there, uh, and the company plans 153 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: to add more than twelve thousand additional ones in the future. 154 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: So the goal is to provide internet service to rural 155 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: and underserved regions areas that cannot get reliable internet access otherwise. 156 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's all the stuff that's zooming around 157 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: in space, but down here on Earth, you need a 158 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: way to pick up those satellite signals. You have to 159 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: have a way to beam information back and forth between 160 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: the satellites so that you can you know, Internet good. 161 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: So you need an antenna and it's a dish antenna, 162 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: what we used to call us satellite dish back in 163 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: the day. Well, the Starlink dish antenna has a kind 164 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: of nifty feature. So essentially it has a thermometer and 165 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 1: it can detect if the temperature drops below freezing and 166 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: if it does, the satellite dish will generate a little 167 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: extra heat surface heat on the antenna itself. So the 168 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: idea is that that heat will help melt any snow 169 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: or ice that would otherwise build up on the dish 170 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: in freezing temperatures and could potentially interfere with getting a 171 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: satellite signal. And here's where the cats come in. A 172 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Twitter user named Aaron Taylor shared an image of a 173 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: group of five cats perched on top of the Starlink 174 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: satellite dish, presumably outside of Aaron's home, stating quote, starlink 175 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: works great until the cats find out that the dish 176 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: gives off a little heat on cold day's end. Quote. 177 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: Trust me, the image is adorable and also very funny. 178 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: All right, we've got some more news stories to go through, 179 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: but before we get to that, let's take a quick 180 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: break and we're back. US telecom companies A, T and 181 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: T and Verizon recently agreed to delay their planned rollout 182 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: of five G systems by a couple of weeks uh 183 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: this The request of delay came from the United States 184 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: Federal Aviation Administration or f a A, which sites concerns 185 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: that five G signals could interfere with some airplane systems, 186 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: notably stuff like a radio altimeter. There's been a lot 187 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: of back and forth between the aviation industry and the 188 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: telecom industry about the effects of delays as well as 189 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: the potential effects of five G transmissions. The telecom companies 190 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: are eager to move forward and deploy their five G networks. 191 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: They really want to make good on certain promises they 192 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,239 Speaker 1: have with customers, as well as just to remain competitive 193 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: with companies that have already started to deploy five gen networks. 194 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: And obviously they've also been experiencing delays anyway due to 195 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: problems like COVID and of course, the aviation industry is 196 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,479 Speaker 1: concerned with safety and avoiding problems like flights getting delayed, canceled, 197 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: or diverted, saying that if there is this UH interference, 198 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: then that could severely hamper flight flight control, and that 199 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: would not be great like flight control in the sense 200 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: of everything could get messed up. And once you start 201 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: having flights canceled at one airport, there's this cascade effect, 202 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: right because that plane was on its way somewhere and 203 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: now it's not going to get there at that time. 204 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: So this ends up having like a domino effect, even 205 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: if you have airports that are not being affected by 206 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: this interference. So up until yesterday, A T and T 207 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: and Verizon appeared unwilling to give up their rollout plans, 208 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: but that has changed and now they've agreed to a 209 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: two week delay. I'm not sure what difference the two 210 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: weeks makes, but I will continue to look into the 211 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: story as it develops. In a serious case of deja vous, 212 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: Microsoft has had to release a fix for a bug 213 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: in their Exchange server product that shut down on premises 214 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: email delivery at thousands of locations around the world. So 215 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: what happened, Well, it's all because Exchange Server two thousand 216 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: sixteen and Exchange Server two thousand nineteen have a date 217 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: check feature, and that date check has a maximum value 218 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: of to one four seven four eight three six four seven. 219 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: If I were to read that out, it would be 220 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: two billion, one hundred forty seven million, four hundred eight 221 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: three thousand, six hundred forty seven, also known as two 222 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: to the thirty first power of minus one. But Microsoft 223 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: would use the first two digits of that number, the 224 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: T one in this case. What that's the maximum? They 225 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: would use those first two digits to denote the last 226 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: two digits of the current year, which you know, that 227 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: works fine as long as the last two digits of 228 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: the current year are not greater than to one. And uh, 229 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: the first two digits in the number are you know, 230 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: that's as high as they can go as to one. Well, 231 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm told this year is two thousand, twenty two, so 232 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: we would use twenty two to designate the year. That 233 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: means if you put two two at the end, you know, 234 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: the front end of that very long number, it's actually 235 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: outside the range allowed. So when midnight rolled over from 236 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve to New Year's Day, the systems attempted 237 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: to verify a date designated as to to zero one 238 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: zero one zero zero zero one, and on premises, email 239 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: servers looked at that and said, oh, heck no, I 240 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: don't get paid enough to deal with numbers bigger than 241 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: I can handle. And they quit, or rather they crashed. Meanwhile, 242 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: I t professionals around the world, We're trying to suss 243 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: out why the heck their email servers were going offline. 244 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: Microsoft had a fix ready to go on January second. 245 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: So that's some pretty serious hustle right there. But that 246 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: fix has to be initiated it on every single server 247 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: running Exchange two thousand sixteen or Exchange two thousand nineteen 248 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: in order to get them working again. And that deja vue, 249 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: I said, I felt, well. That refers to the old 250 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: y two K panic, in which programmers around the world 251 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: hurriedly tried to fix millions of lines of code to 252 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: account for the fact that the year was going to 253 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: change from nineteen nine or just ninety nine to two 254 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: thousand or zero zero. The fear was that by going 255 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: from zero zero, computer systems would just assume that we 256 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: had somehow flip back to nineteen hundred. I've done whole 257 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: episodes about this. So anyway, this does seem to be 258 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: pretty similar in history has a tendency to repeat itself, 259 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: and I blame the conventions we used to denote what 260 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: the date is. C e S is about to go 261 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: into full swings starting tomorrow, January five. Several high profile 262 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: companies had pulled out of appearing in person at the event, 263 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: citing concerns about COVID. But the show must go on, 264 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: according to the Consumer Technology Association, that's the group that 265 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: organizes the huge trade show, and we're hearing about some 266 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: of the stuff that's going to be shown off at 267 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: the event. One of those things is the new Eco 268 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: remote from Samsung. Last year, Samsung introduced the first Eco remote, 269 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: which has a small solar panel on it, so you 270 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: can actually recharge your your remote batteries by you know, 271 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: leaving it in the sunlight. This year, Samsung has also 272 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: incorporated radio frequency harvesting capabilities, meaning that the remote has 273 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: a small antenna inside it and it can pick up 274 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: radio frequency waves from your home's WiFi network and then 275 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: convert those radio frequency waves to electricity, and that electricity 276 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: can go towards charging the battery. Now, I'm sure lots 277 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: of people will liken this idea to that of Nikola Tesla, 278 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: the one you know he had talked about transmating electricity 279 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: through the air more than a century ago. Here's the thing, 280 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: this is the basis for a lot of wireless charging technology, 281 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: and radio itself actually works on a very similar principle. Anyway, 282 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: Samsung's move is to get away from the use of 283 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: triple A batteries, and using a rechargeable battery could mean 284 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: cutting down on a great deal of waste over time, 285 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: which I think is a pretty good thing to aim for. 286 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: In other ce s, news Wired reports that a company 287 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: called Smarty Pair has introduced Leo's LU two. And if 288 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: you don't know what that is, where the heck have 289 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: you been. So it's a smart cat litter box. Yep, 290 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: it's a self cleaning cat litter box that also monitors 291 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: stuff like your cat's weight and you know how frequently 292 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: your furry little friend is heading to the toilets and 293 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: you can access the information with an app. Now, I 294 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: know that on the surface of it that might sound 295 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: like crazy, but that's actually really useful information to have 296 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: if you need to, say, talk to a vet about 297 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: your cats health. So while on the surface, This might 298 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: seem like overkill or perhaps you know, a gross in 299 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: vage asian of your kitty cats privacy. It's actually a 300 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: pretty smart idea for those who want to make sure 301 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: their pets are healthy. Also, it is compatible with Alexa 302 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: and um a an assistant at rhymes with schmoogle. I 303 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: don't say it because I actually have a smart speaker 304 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: in this room, and when I tried to do it before, 305 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: it activated and interrupted my recording, so this is technically 306 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: the second take of the sentence. Anyway, My point is 307 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: that the cat smart cat litter boxes also compatible with 308 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: those you know, the virtual assistance, so you can control 309 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: settings on the cat litter box using those devices. It 310 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: also has a UV radiation method of sanitizing the cat 311 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: litter box. It also has sensors that can detect when 312 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: a cat is nearby, so it doesn't just automatically turn 313 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: on and scare your kitty cat. So kind of a 314 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: neat idea. I don't own any cats, and I frequently 315 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: smack my head when I run into smart appliances, thinking 316 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: that they might go a little too far or be 317 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: a little ridiculous. But I actually can see the use 318 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: for this one, so while it on the surface made 319 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: me laugh, the more I thought about, the more I thought, no, wait, 320 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: that's kind of a practical use. T. S. Eliot would 321 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: be proud, and I'm sure we'll have a lot more 322 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: to say about C E S later in the week. 323 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: So on Thursday, I'll try and do a roundup of 324 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: some of the more interesting things that were shown off 325 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: during the event. In the meantime, I'll be glad that 326 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: I am covering it from my home rather than in 327 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Well, we've got a little bit more news 328 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: to cover, but before we get to that, let's take 329 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: another quick break. Okay, international news. The German Minister of 330 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: Justice announced that the country is moving to abolish any 331 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: data retention from telecommunications activities if there are no good 332 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: reasons for holding onto that information, or rather that the 333 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: minister is inclined to do as much. The minister said, 334 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: quote I reject data retention without any reason and would 335 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: like to remove it from the law once and for all. 336 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: It violates fundamental rights end quote. This would be bring 337 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: German law more in line with European Union law, so 338 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that is in German law 339 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: is superseded by EU law. Anyway, So a lot of 340 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: the elements about data retention have been suspended, and this 341 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: is really more of a move to just say, let's 342 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: go ahead and make it our law as well, not 343 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: just EU law. But it also means that if there 344 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: is a specific and presumably legitimate reason to retain data 345 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: that would still be on the table, you would still 346 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: be allowed to do that. But should the Minister's desire 347 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: be made into law, it would be illegal under German 348 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: law for companies to collect any and all data and 349 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: just store it indefinitely while possibly just waiting around for 350 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: a way to exploit that information. This actually reminds me 351 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: of the early days of smartphone apps, in which app 352 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: stores did not place restrictions on developers, and developers could 353 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: essentially create any kind of app that could collect all 354 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: sorts of data, not just the information that the app 355 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: needed to do whatever it was it was doing. So, 356 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: for example, you might download a game on your smartphone 357 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: and it turns out that it's also tracking your location 358 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: and you know, all this other stuff uh in the 359 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: background without your knowledge. And in the early days that 360 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: was kind of you know, just it was happening, and 361 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: it wasn't until you know, Schmoogle and Apple really started 362 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: to crack down on that and say no, you can 363 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: only get access to the data that your app actually 364 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: needs to work, and you have to ask permission first. 365 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: It's only when that happened when we started to see 366 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: this change. In fact, this was kind of what was 367 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: at the heart of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. But we're 368 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: seeing a rejection of that practice in many places as 369 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: there is a growing concern that this data could be 370 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: abused and it could violate the privacy of citizens and consumers. 371 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: Over in China, the government has continued the suspension of 372 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: new game licenses within the country, and this means that 373 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: app developers who are working on games intended for various 374 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: platforms are kind of stuck. The government requires anyone who 375 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: is developing a game or updating a game to first 376 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: acquire a license to sell games within China, so with 377 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: this suspension, there's effectively a halt on all new game 378 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: developers within the country. Apparently, this has led to nearly 379 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty thousand small game studios to shut down 380 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: because there's just there's no way for them to operate 381 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: a business without obtaining a license, and all licenses are 382 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: currently suspended all new licenses. That is, the suspension actually 383 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: began last year, but a lot of people were hoping 384 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: that China would lift it by two and instead it 385 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: appears to be set to continue at least in you know, 386 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: in the near future, possibly indefinitely. As for why there's 387 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: suspension in the first place, the government has not issued 388 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,239 Speaker 1: a formal explanation, but the general guess is that this 389 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: ties into the government's campaign to battle what it calls 390 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: a gaming addiction. The government has previously passed laws that 391 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: restrict the amount of time young people are allowed to 392 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: spend playing games, so it's probably tied in with that. Again, 393 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: there hasn't been an official explanation. Car manufacturing company hun 394 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: Day has ended all development on internal combustion engine vehicles, 395 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: shifting engineers over to develop new electric vehicles also known 396 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: as e vs. Engineers will refocus to develop new electric 397 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: power trains for cars, and the move makes sense. More 398 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: and more countries are setting deadlines in which all new 399 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: vehicles sold within those countries will have to be electric 400 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: vehicles at some date, and this is on an effort 401 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: to cut back on CEO two emissions and meet global deadlines. 402 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: In the fight against climate change. The general thought is that, uh, 403 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: you will still be allowed to sell used vehicles that 404 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: are internal combustion engine vehicles, but no new cars on 405 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: the market will be allowed to be I sees. They 406 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: have to be electric vehicles or possibly hybrids. Um, that's 407 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of the play here. Now, one thing that 408 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: has been part of the conversation around this switch to 409 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: electric vehicles is whether they are actually more quote unquote 410 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: green than internal combustion engine vehicles. Now, it's obvious that 411 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: a gasoline or diesel powered engine is going to generate 412 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: emissions and an electric vehicle isn't. Right, evs don't generate emissions, 413 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: But then you have to take in the bigger picture, 414 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: like the manufacturing processes, and then you have ask okay, well, 415 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: does it still make sense our e vs still more 416 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: environmentally friendly than combustion engine vehicles or is the process 417 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: to build e vs more harmful than operating a fleet 418 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: of gas powered cars. Well, the International Council on Clean 419 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: Transportation recently released a report that shows producing a medium 420 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: sized gas powered car would create around seven point two 421 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: tons of carbon emissions. That's just the manufacturing process. Building 422 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: a similarly sized electric vehicle creates nine point to carbon emissions, 423 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: so an ev would generate two more tons of c 424 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: O two in the production process than an internal combustion car. 425 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: Most of that comes from the production of the e 426 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: VS battery. It's a carbon intensive process. However, the same 427 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: study found that a car in England would make up 428 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: for that carbon debt and electric car after driving just 429 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: seven thousand, sixty one miles. In the UK and in England, 430 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: the average distance traveled per year for the first three 431 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: years of a new car is ten thousand, four hundred 432 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: miles each, So, in other words, for the first three 433 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: years of owning a new car, the average person is 434 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: driving ten thousand, four hundred miles per year. That means 435 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: that the production side of evs is front loaded with 436 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: carbon emissions. It does generate more CEO two than building 437 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: combustion engine cars. However, after just one year of use, 438 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: the electric vehicle would be responsible for fewer carbon emissions 439 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: than a gas powered car would, because, of course, the 440 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: gas powered car continues to emit c O two as 441 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: it's being operated. Of course, there are other factors that 442 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: you have to bring into consideration as well, such as 443 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: where the electricity that charged the EV's battery came from UH. 444 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: This is why stuff like carbon emissions gets really tricky, 445 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: because there's so many different factors to consider. But with 446 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: more of an emphasis on renewable energy sources, the ecosystem 447 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: for evs can be one that produces far less carbon 448 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: than our old gas guzzlind ways. And that is the 449 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: news for Tuesday, January two. We'll be back on Thursday 450 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: with some more news, hopefully some more stuff about c 451 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: e s. I'll keep an eye out on it. If 452 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: you want to get in touch with me, you can 453 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: always drop me a line on Twitter.
