WEBVTT - Tech News: The Mystery of McAfee 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:07.800 Welcome to tech Stuff, a production from my Heart Radio. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.840 Hey there, and welcome to tech Stuff. I'm your host, 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.120 Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive producer with I Heart Radio 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.000 and I love all things tech. And this is the 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.560 tech news for Thursday, June twenty one. We've got a 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.880 short one for you today. I'm heading into my birthday 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:34.440 weekend and I'm celebrating by unplugging. But let's get to 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.480 some news. Top of the news today is that yesterday 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.400 we learned from authorities in Spain that John McAfee, who 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:46.360 founded the McAfee anti virus company, was found dead in 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.080 his jail cell. There is a lot for us to 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.320 unpack here, because there are elements to McAfee's life story 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.040 that sound like they could have come from some over 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:02.600 the top film about excess and handle. McAfee founded the 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.880 company back in the late nineteen eighties to market anti 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.720 virus software, but he actually resigned his position in nine 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.680 sold off his stake in the company. So McAfee Anti 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.640 Virus hasn't had anything to do with John McAfee for 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.840 nearly thirty years now, and in fact, McAfee would go 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:26.000 on to kind of slag off on McAfee anti virus, 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:31.319 calling it unnecessary, recommending people not install it, arguing that 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.680 it had bloatwear in it. He even said at some 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.320 point that he had never bothered to install anti virus 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.200 software on his own computers, that rather he would just 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.760 keep his devices UH disconnected from his own identity, he 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.280 would not link them to him, and that he wouldn't 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.120 go to sites that would typically host malware anyway. He 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.360 went on to found or work for several other companies. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.680 He accumulated a pretty sizeable amount of wealth, but lost 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.120 a great deal of that during the global financial crisis 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.520 around two thousand eight. He lived in Belize for quite 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.200 a while, where authorities once rated his home on suspicion 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.919 that he was connected to unlicensed drug production. That was 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.760 a whole story, and he was also accused of having 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.040 hired a hit man to torture and kill one of 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.080 his neighbors in Belize. That was stemming from a long 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.840 kind of feud between the two UH. The neighbors certainly 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.280 was murdered, and there were questions about whether or not 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.080 McAfee was involved, either directly or, as is the case 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:40.920 with the hitman allegation, indirectly McAfee fled Belize in the 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.280 aftermath of that, and after refusing to show up in 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.960 court for charges connected to that neighbor's murder, the court 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.040 ordered him to pay twenty five million dollars to the 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.120 neighbors next of ken, which was a judgment that McAfee 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.959 just dismissed out of hand. But then he had a 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.200 habit of dismissing court judgments out of hand, kind of 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.720 made it part of his His stick is not paying 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.880 the court mandated finds that he got hit with multiple times. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.040 He toyed with presidential campaigns at least twice, but they 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.960 never really seemed terribly serious to me. It seemed more 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:24.400 like almost a publicity stunt. Last October, Spanish authorities arrested 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.240 McAfee as he was preparing to travel to Turkey, and 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.520 the charge was that McAfee had been committing tax evasion 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.720 for four years, essentially not filing taxes, which he thought 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:39.160 of as being illegal. Uh. Turns out that's not how 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.320 the US government sees it, and this week a Spanish 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:46.040 court ruled that he would be extradited to the United States, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.360 a ruling that could have been appealed, but he was 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.279 found dead in his jail cell. Not long afterward, authorities 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:58.200 say that it appears that it was suicide. McAfee himself 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.360 actually sowed the seeds of out about suicide a couple 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.600 of years ago. He claimed he would never do such 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.520 a thing, and he got a tattoo that said whacked on. 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.160 It actually had like a dollar sign in w H 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.440 A C K D. He argued that if he were 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.680 ever found dead by quote unquote suicide, that all his 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.560 true believers could take faith that it was actually murder, 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.200 that he had been killed while in prison, And not 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.360 long after authorities discovered his body, his own Instagram account 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.960 posted an image of a giant Q on it, presumably 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.200 a reference to the Q and NON group. But McAfee 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.920 also has a team of folks who worked with him, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.840 and some of them were managing his social media profiles. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.080 That has been a thing that's been going on for 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.240 a while, so it's not like McAfee had some sort 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.880 of dead man switch to to post a picture of Q. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.719 And while I'm certain there will be no shortage of 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.279 conspiracy theories coming out about McAfee, I do want to 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.440 point out that he was certainly not a reliable narrator. 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.359 By any stretch of the imagination. I'm not saying that 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.200 there aren't questions about his death. There certainly are. There 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.080 are questions, um, whether it was by suicide or some 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:19.160 other means, there are definitely questions. However, I wouldn't take 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:24.640 anything McAfee said in the past as something truly reliable. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.200 In rock Steady, the Spanish court had already ordered him 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.960 to be extradite to the United States, which would give 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.359 the US the chance to prosecute McAfee. So the story 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.920 that was being pushed around is that the US wanted 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:43.960 McAfee dead. But if the US had just successfully one 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:48.719 out an agreement to have McAfee extradite to the United States, 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.800 seems like having a murdered wouldn't make a whole lot 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.279 of sense to me. I mean, I'm not like deep 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:01.120 state Michael Crichton level kind of thing thinking sort of stuff. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.000 So maybe I'm just missing it. But my advice is, 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.960 don't go spreading conspiracy theories. Use critical thinking. You can 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:14.360 ask questions. There's nothing wrong with asking questions, but it's 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:19.719 the leaping two answers that part that is the problem. Um, 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:25.279 I don't know what happened. I I'm inclined to think 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.240 that this is a case where he committed suicide after 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.040 coming to the realization that he was not going to 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.320 be able to slip out of this like he had 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.920 previous times. But that's just a guess. I don't have 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.640 the information to make, you know, a solid statement on it. 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.840 I do believe that there will probably be a billion 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.560 movies made about this guy in the years to come, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.600 maybe one with Adam Sandler playing the part. I think that, 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.160 you know, this is sort of an uncut Gems kind 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:58.800 of opportunity here. In other news, the reddit crowd over 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.800 at Wall Street Bets might be doing a little bit 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.120 of a victory lab this week. Vice reported on Tuesday 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.600 that White Square, a hedge fund that had recommended a 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.920 short cell of game Stop stock, has shut down. All right, 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.440 So if you're like me and financial stuff is a 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.320 bit outside of your wheelhouse, let's go ahead and break 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.680 all this down. And for the record, you know, I 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.560 had to refresh myself on all this kind of stuff 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:28.160 because this isn't my world. But hedge funds are investment 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.560 bouls in which people, typically really rich people, pour a 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.360 lot of money into the fund in the hopes of 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.320 turning it into a lot more money. So it's one 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:43.239 of the many ways on how the wealthy get even wealthier. Anyway, 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:49.000 hedge funds tend to have more risky strategies than other 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.480 types of investment funds. Uh. It tends to be a 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.400 high risk, high reward kind of situation. So when it works, 0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.400 it's paying off big time. Hedge fund managers have to 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.920 be accredited by the SEC, but in return, hedge funds 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.760 have less oversight and less regulation than other types of funds, 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.000 which gives them the freedom to make these kind of 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.400 risky moves. All right, we got hedge funds. So what's 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.640 a short sell? Well, if you suspect that a company's 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.120 stock price is going to go down, you can do 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:23.800 something called selling short. And essentially what's happening is you 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.520 don't own any of this company's stock already. Okay, you 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.400 just think, oh, this company X is about to have 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.480 a decline in stock price. Maybe you thought that the 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.080 stock price was overvalued and it's going to be readjusted. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.920 Maybe you think the company's entering into some choppy waters. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.359 Whatever the case. So what you do is you borrow 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.880 shares of that company's stock from some other investor. And 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.199 you're essentially saying, I'll give these shares back to you 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.480 at this specific date. So you you're you set a 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.679 date when you have to return the shares to that investor. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.720 Then you sell these borrowed shares, You wait for the 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.720 price of the stock to go down. Then you buy 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.480 back the shares you borrowed, but at a lower price. 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.680 You return the borrowed shares and you get to keep 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.600 the difference. So, in other words, uh, let's say that 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.600 you borrow some shares and you sell these shares at 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.600 twenty dollars apiece, but you buy them back when they're 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.080 down to five dollars a piece. That means you would 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.679 make fifteen dollars per share profit. But if the price 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.839 doesn't go down, if the stock price goes up, then 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.400 you're in trouble because you still have to return those 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.680 borrowed shares. So let's say you sold off the borrowed 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.720 shares for twenty dollars each, but now the price is 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.640 fifty dollars each and you're due. That means you're gonna 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.360 lose thirty dollars per share because you have to buy 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.120 back the borrowed shares to return them to the other investor, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:56.080 so White Square shorted game Stop, and then, because a 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.040 bunch of folks really wanted to mess with hedge funds, 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.199 and more than a few of those folks also wanted 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.800 to make some money in the process, a ton of 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:09.920 small independent investors began buying up game Stop stock that 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.200 eventually drove up the price to a point where when 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.319 it came time for White Square to return those shortened shares, 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.040 the company was hurting pretty badly. Now, for the record, 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.240 White Square reps say that the closure of the hedge 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.520 fund is unrelated to the game Stop stock issue. Instead, 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.840 according to the reps, the issue was that two of 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.679 the really big investors into that hedge fund withdrew their 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.559 investments from the pool, which made the hedge fund untenable, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.920 and that this really was marking a shift toward a 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.600 different approach to making investments just generally that's happening in 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.320 the market. Which might be true, But I do imagine 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.360 that the company was rocked pretty hard by the game 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.239 Stop issue, just you know, perhaps not enough to precipitate 0:10:55.320 --> 0:11:00.280 the funds actual demise. Over in the UK, authority these 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.480 want to have a word with Amazon and I t 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:08.000 V News investigation captured footage of Amazon warehouse workers packing 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:15.960 returned and unsold merchandise, including stuff like laptops, tv other electronics, books, 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:20.319 into boxes, and those boxes had the word destroy on them, 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.839 and that the workers then loaded trucks down with these 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:28.320 boxes before driving the trucks over to landfills or recycling centers. 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:33.080 A former Amazon employee told the investigative team that workers 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.920 were expected to dispose of more than a hundred thousand 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:40.439 items every week. Activists pounced on this. They pointed out 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.440 the enormous amount of waste that this generates, and they 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.320 also questioned how can a company behave in this way, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.440 throwing out hundreds of thousands of products each week and 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:56.200 still remain profitable. As Greta Thunberg pointed out, quote that's 0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:00.000 a clear sign that something is fundamentally wrong end quote. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.240 And I concur if a company can afford to throw 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.560 out hundreds of thousands of unsold products each month, you know, 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.839 high end products at that, like TVs and computers, then 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.959 something wacky has got to be going on in order 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.240 to keep that company profitable. Now, Amazon reps have actually 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.880 responded to this. They said that no items were actually 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.040 sent to landfills. In the UK though, that could be 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:26.240 a qualifier, but they rather went to some recycling centers 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.640 for a quote unquote energy recovery, and that the company 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.520 routinely donates unsold items to charitable organizations in the like. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.160 Other unnamed Amazon employees seem to contradict this, but a 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.800 full investigation would need to follow to really ferret out 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.920 the truth. I think it's pretty phenomenal. It's kind of 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.120 crazy to think about a company literally throwing out hundreds 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.600 of thousands of products. It just it's so wasteful, and 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.280 you you sit there and think, if you had a 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.120 different approach to business, you wouldn't have that waste, which 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.440 presumably would mean you would profit more. But maybe there's 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.960 other stuff going on that I just don't understand. I 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.360 admit I look at the world when it comes to business. 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.160 I look at the world in a pretty simplistic way, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.640 and I acknowledge that things are way more complicated than 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:18.160 I particularly understand. Finally, a change in how Google handles 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.000 unlisted links could mean that we'll see some stuff sort 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.960 of just disappear from the web, or at least become inaccessible. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.400 So in an email to YouTube creators, I got one 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.720 of these emails. Just so you know, the company wrote quote. 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.640 In two thousand seventeen, we rolled out an update to 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.360 the system that generates new YouTube unlisted links, which included 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:44.079 security enhancements that make the links for your unlisted videos 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.120 even harder for someone to discover without you sharing with them. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.000 We're now making changes to older unlisted videos that were 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.480 uploaded before this update took place. End quote. So in 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.560 other words, the company is retroactively applying this updated security 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.679 SCHEMEAU to YouTube and also to Google Drive documents as 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.320 well that have you know, links in them, and users 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.400 will be able to choose one of several options with 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.680 regard to this. They can opt out of this change 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.600 entirely by filling out a form. They have to do 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.800 that by July twenty one in order to keep those 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.680 documents and those videos in their current unlisted states. So 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.960 in other words, no change is made, the unlisted u 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.560 r L remains the same, and that way people who 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.480 have the links to those videos will still be able 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.680 to get them, or embedded videos and other platforms that 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:42.520 otherwise are unlisted will still be accessible. Or creators can 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:47.040 change unlisted videos and make them public, which just gets 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.320 around the problem. Now the unlisted videos are public, they're 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.440 publicly available. That will take care of it as well. 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.560 They can also re upload the old video as a 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.400 new unlisted video, so essentially they just swap out one 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.160 for the other, or they can do nothing at all, 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:08.400 and the unlisted videos that were posted before will switch 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.480 over to become private videos, which means no one will 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.280 be able to access it other than the channel creator 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.880 or channel administrator. Now why is this all important, Well, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.440 it means that any videos that were made before but 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:27.160 are unlisted, but are also embedded on other platforms like 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.120 on a blog or something like that, those videos will 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.360 disappear unless the creators actually take one of these options. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.240 So if I had made a video in two thousand fifteen, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.040 and I made it unlisted on my channel, so you 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.240 wouldn't just come across the video if you were to 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.120 visit my channel. However, I then embedded that video on 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.280 say a personal web page or something, then that video 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.240 is going to be a broken link. Later this year, 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.880 you would go and you would find a like one 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.320 of those YouTube embedded videos that just has the little 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.240 X on it where like there's no video there, You 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.000 push play and nothing happens. Because the link doesn't work, 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.800 it's a dead link. The same is true as I 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.960 said with Google Drive links. So if you have links 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.280 to documents created and Google Drive from before, that's unlisted 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.960 documents and things like that, the same sort of rules apply. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.440 This was all in an effort to improve privacy and security, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.920 which I think is the right move, but it is 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.320 going to be a hassle for some creators and for 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.120 channels that have been inactive or even abandoned. That might 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.479 mean that that video content will just disappear from Discovery, 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.200 so that videos that people once were able to watch 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.440 suddenly they won't have access to them anymore because those 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.480 will be switched to private and the channel administrators just 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.280 don't deal with that channel anymore, which is kind of 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.640 a bummer. I mean, we always say that everything lasts 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.040 forever on the Internet, but things like this, where you 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.160 break links, that kind of stuff is an exception to 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.520 the rule, and I've certainly had experience with this kind 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.240 of stuff before air a change in policy meant that 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.399 suddenly linked documents were no longer linked, and it is 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.360 a huge pain in the butt when that happens. Anyway, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.480 that's the news for Thursday. June twenty one. I hope 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.080 you all have a great day, a great weekend. As 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.760 I said, it is my birthday weekend, so make sure 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.040 you go out and do something you know, nice and 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.439 thoughtful for someone else. That's that'll be a great birthday 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.560 present for me. Just doesn't have to be big, just 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.760 a nice, thoughtful gesture to someone else. And after you 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.800 do that selfless act, you are to turn your face 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.040 to the heavens and cry out, this was all for you, 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.919 Jonathan Strickland, and I'll know wherever I am, i'll know 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.600 that you did that. Now, if you have any suggestions 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.440 for topics I should cover in future episodes of tech Stuff, 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.840 reach out to me on Twitter handle is tech Stuff 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.600 h s W. I've been getting a bunch of those recently, 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:58.280 which is awesome. I am currently still working through the 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.760 glossary of tech to rms, or rather tech acronyms and initialisms, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.159 But as soon as that series is over, I'm going 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.040 to be tackling some of these suggestions sent in by listeners, 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.360 so you can get your suggestions into and I look 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.399 forward to hearing from you, and I'll talk to you 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:21.880 again really soon.
