So this song Lovely 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.160 Day by Bill Withers is from Heidi. She dedicates it 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.520 to her family and friends. Great song, fun way to 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.720 start the show. All Right. Guests this week Nathan Burrow, 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.360 you know him from Wirecutter. He's going to share the 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.160 best tested tech gifts this season, and smart ways to 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.400 save and later in the show this is a huge 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:30.760 growth area AI in healthcare. Doctor Adam Oskowitz, co founder 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.560 of Doctronic, is going to talk about how AI can 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.440 help patients and doctors alike. Well, I hope you're having 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.800 a fantastic day. This is I always call it the 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.399 slide into the holidays, but specifically this week is the 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.120 slide right into Thanksgiving, which I think is one of 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.760 the best holidays because it brings everyone together. Everyone were 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.120 my wife and I were shopping for a Thanksgiving dinner 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.720 and the shelves were already sort of like you know, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.880 pick through and not just some things were sold out. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.560 We couldn't find the mini marshmallows we wanted. But my 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.000 point was, as I was driving home, I said, whose 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.280 idea was it to have every person in America have 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.200 the same exact meal on a single day. I mean, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.880 that takes a lot to do that, and so I 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.880 never really thought about that in the past, But yeah, 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.320 we're all making the same meal. So personally, I always 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.639 look forward to the stuffing my mom's recipe, and then 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.840 the candied sweet potatoes, which is also my mom's recipe. Ironically, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.920 we were thinking about this all the recipes because my wife, 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.320 you know, she has this fond memory of eating pumpkin 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.280 pie that her grandma made. And when you ask your family, 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.000 like where did you get the recipe? Nine times out 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.760 of ten it was on the label of the food 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.640 back in the day, and they just sort of changed 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.320 it as things went along. So it's like, oh yeah, 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.760 my secret family recipe for my pumpkin pie was on 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.880 the can of Libby's. It's like my sausage stuffing was 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.400 from Jimmy Dean. But that's how it happened back in 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.280 the day. I mean, there was no Internet. People were 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.600 not Either had to pass a recipe to a friend, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.720 or you passed it down in the family members, or 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.960 you probably just found it on the label of the 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:15.280 favorite food that you bought. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving this week. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.560 I could not believe this happened. I just couldn't believe it. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.239 Google somehow figured out a way to make its Android phones, 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.320 specifically the Pixel ten series, work with Apple's air Drop. Now, 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.080 if you remember in the past companies that have tried 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.080 to make things work with Apple, when Apple specifically blocks 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.960 this from working, Apple somehow makes a little change that 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.080 keeps this from continuing in the future. Now, they haven't 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.120 done that yet with this air Drop situation, but it 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.600 could be a matter of time or Apple could finally say, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.600 you know what, with all the pressure and regulations against 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.240 us at this point, especially over in Europe, maybe we 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.480 should just let this happen. So what Apple, what Google 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.080 did is they basic looked at air drop and they said, okay, 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.720 how do we make the pixel work with air drop? 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.640 How do we make Android work with air drop? They 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.040 did not hack anything. They just looked into the way 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.040 the system works, and then they just took their quick Share, 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.960 which is their version of you know, if you have 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.680 an Android phone, quick Share is your version of air Drop. 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.120 And so what they did was they just looked at 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:21.680 it and they said, all right, how can we make 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.720 quick share work with air drop? And they did it. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.840 They coded it with some very smart people, and they 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.040 didn't just hack this together. These are people that tested 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.839 this to make sure it is secure, to make sure 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.400 it is safe, to make sure there is no workaround 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.520 involved here. They just somehow made the pixels show up 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.400 on the iPhones and vice versa. So now if you 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.800 have a Pixel ten series you can go and air 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.360 drop photos and videos from that device to an Apple device. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.520 And that's not just the iPhone, that's any Apple device 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.599 that supports air drop and vice versa. So if you 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.839 have an iPhone and you've got a Pixel friend, you 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.560 can now swap photos with them very easily. Google says 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.440 all of the transfers are device to device. They are 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:07.640 not routed through any server or cloud storage. Nothing is logged, 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.240 no extra data is collected beyond the transfer. Now, this 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.800 is available on the Pixel ten series at launch, and 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.280 they want to make this available to all Android phones. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.520 But try it as I might, I could not get 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.800 it to work on the Samsung. Even downloading their little 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.360 helper app you gotta download did not work. But this 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.720 is great for the holidays. I know Pixel ten still 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.880 a very small amount of people that have that device, 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.240 but if this could get shared to all Android devices 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.880 over the next couple of months, that would be game changing. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.520 Now it's really up to Apple. Are they going to 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.200 stop this? I think if they did, they would have 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.080 to have a really good reason. We remember what they 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.880 did with Beeper. They tried to make I Message available 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.000 on Android and Apple said, uh uh, no way, and 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.080 they changed everything so that program would not work anymore. Now. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.240 Apple could do this easily because all they have to 0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.960 do is write something into the code that says verre 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.479 not sharing to an Apple device. It's not gonna work. 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.200 But will they do that? I think it would be 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.520 downright evil for them to do that. I don't think 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.640 it would be right for them to do that. Clearly, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.200 this system can work between devices and for people like 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.000 myself that are always mixing devices and using different things, 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.800 it really is game changing. And by the way, just 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.280 in general holiday parties, Hey, you took that picture on 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.120 your pixel because you've got a great camera. Can you 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:23.680 share it to me? 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:23.880 No? 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.960 I can't. I got to text it to you, which 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.479 is fine because RCS. But still so, Apple, please don't 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.320 ruin a good thing. And Google, kudos to you for fighting. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.520 I mean, this is like the two goliaths, right, like 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.960 Google is huge, Apple is huge. And Google, by the way, 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:41.800 did not work with Apple on this. They made that 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.880 clear in their blog posts. They said we hope to 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.279 work with Apple in the future about making this a 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.640 permanent thing or something to that effect. The other big 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:57.600 news this week, Roadblocks is now requiring facial basically facial 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.680 age checks, so they're using AI to figure out the 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.400 age of users, and then they put them into a 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.760 category under nine, nine to twelve, thirteen to fifteen, sixteen 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.840 to seventeen, eighteen to twenty or twenty one plus. Now, 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.840 if your kid plays Roadblocks, your grandkids. There's been some 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:19.560 issues on Roadblocks with inappropriate chats, inappropriate content, and this 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.760 happens pretty regularly, and Roadblocks knows this, but of course 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.360 they don't want to be regulated, just like every other 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.360 tech company out there, so they try to put these 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.000 things in place before the regulations, before the regulators kind 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.080 of figure stuff out and say, oh, hold on, maybe 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.680 kids shouldn't be playing this game that's just unchecked for 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.080 hours of every day. And parents, they know Roadblocks, but 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:42.520 they don't really know what their kids are doing. They 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.880 just hear the noises, They hear the kids yelling, screaming, 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.800 playing with their friends. So what's going to happen? And 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.800 this has already started to roll out, although it's not 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.560 required here in the US until January. But your kid, 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.400 if they're playing Roadblocks, they've probably already seen a message 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:01.040 that says, hey, verify your age using a selfie, and 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.600 so what it does. They're using this third party company 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:07.320 called Persona, which a lot of these digital IDs use. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.520 But your kid holds their iPad up to their face, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.320 it takes a video selfie. They turn left right to 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.320 kind of verify and make sure it's a live person, 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.880 and then it uses the facial identification to figure out 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.880 how old the kid is or the user, and then 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.480 they put them in a group nine to twelve, like 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.120 I said, thirteen to fifteen, sixteen to seventeen, and then 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.560 kids are only allowed to chat with other users in 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.079 their similar age groups. Now, kids under nine chat by 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.640 default is turned off unless a parent turns it back 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.319 on after the age check. So that's interesting. And if 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.200 your kid plays these games, you know that chat is 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.680 a huge part of video games and kids don't want this, 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.080 by the way, at all. I think for parents it's 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.080 a good thing because you don't want your kids. If 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.800 your kid is nine, they don't need to be chatting 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.120 with someone that's eighteen or twenty one. Now there is 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.960 a way to have them chat with their verified friends 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.600 or family members that might be older. You can do that, 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.720 but the chat is monitored by AI. They do have 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.760 filtering for kids under thirteen. But I'll be honest, my 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.440 kid was telling me all the stuff that he's seen 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.080 in Roadblock's chat, and you know, not all of it's good. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:23.160 So this what's interesting about this whole facial ID verification 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.679 is that my kid has already asked me if he 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.320 can somehow cheat the system because his friend already cheated 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.199 the system somehow he got in eighteen, And now my 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.120 kid wants to be eighteen because if he gets his 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.840 real age, which is younger than that, he's not gonna 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.760 be able to chat with his friend. But I'm not 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.600 gonna let my kid break this rule so that he 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.480 can chat with eighteen and twenty year olds. 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:43.840 No way. 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.320 So parents are gonna have to have you know, they're 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.880 gonna have to figure out where they stand on this. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.400 Do they want to help their kids fake this? You know, 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.720 because the parent can sit there in front of the 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.920 ID and do the check for the kid and their 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.719 age will come up as older, But then the kid 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.440 won't be able to chat with their friends if they 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.439 do the real thing. So I think this is a 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.680 pretty good system. I don't think it's going to be perfect, 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.400 but I think it's better than nothing. And so that's 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.040 going to be rolling out. You don't have to do 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.480 it just yet. I would say maybe wait a little bit, 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.560 let's let this settle in. It's only been a couple 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.160 of days where Roadblocks has done this in the US. 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.200 You have until January to do it, so maybe wait 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.320 just a couple of weeks to see how this works out. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.000 All right? Coming up, we are going to talk about 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.320 the worst passwords of twenty twenty five. I've got the 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.600 top worst password right here. It's pretty bad. It's pretty 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.400 easy to figure out. Plus, we've got the details on 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.319 that major outage this week, that cloud Flare outage. We're 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:41.959 going to talk about that. We've got the gadget of 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.200 the week. Of course, your emails just overflowing my inbox 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.280 and your calls at triple eight rich one oh one 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.959 eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.240 Thanks so much for joining me this weekend. More rich 0:10:54.280 --> 0:11:04.720 on Tech on its way right after this. The website 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.959 for the show is richon tech dot tv, so you 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.640 can go there. This is episode one. If you want 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.960 links to anything I mentioned, maybe you want to sign 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.360 up for the podcast, the newsletter, whatever it is. It 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.240 is all there linked up and everything I mentioned, including 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.920 our guests. You can find links to all of it 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.480 right there. Let's go to Raymond in the San Fernando Valley. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.920 You're on with Rich Hi. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:29.440 They're Rich. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:30.800 Hi. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:32.480 Got an easy question for you. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.840 We just bought a brand new twenty five subrew cross Trick, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:37.640 which I really like. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.240 Oh nice, people love superus oop. 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:41.680 So what I need to do is I want to 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:42.680 get a dashcam for it. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:47.240 What do you recommend, Crucial, you live in LA, you 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.520 need you need a dash cam. The amount of things 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.040 I capture on my dash cam is unbelievable. Now, my 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.120 cameras are built into my car. I've got a Tesla, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.440 so they are all built in. But I'm not kidding. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.480 It is like a superpower. Because I'm on the High 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.560 Freeway yesterday and I'm not kidding. I'm like, why is 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.200 this slowing down? This guy in front of me does 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.000 like a pit maneuver on another car because he was 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.760 so angry at this other driver on the freeway, and 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.880 so every driver behind him had to slow down and 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.720 go around this this wild whatever was happening on the freeway. 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.040 And this guy gets out of his car and he 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.080 just like wants to start with this truck driver. It's like, dude, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.640 what is happening here, what is going on? Anyway? I 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.560 captured it on my cash camp because it's just like, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.720 what is happening? I was the first car behind them anyway. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.760 So here here's what you want to look for. Number one, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.040 you know the resolution of the camera. Most of these 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.960 cameras are ten eighty P. If you want to go 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.640 four K. That's going to allow you to get things 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.960 like license plates more clearly, or identifying characteristics when you are, 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.360 you know, out and about. So TENAD may not cut it. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.600 You may get something. You may capture some video you 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.000 try to zoom in you're like, oh, I can't see 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.960 that license plate. So that's number one. Number two the 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.920 field of view. Wider field of view means that you're 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.120 going to see more in the video that you're capturing, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.920 So anywhere from one hundred and forty to one hundred 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.280 and seventy degrees that's going to be good. Make sure 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.640 that you get either low light or low light night 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.880 vision or low light cameras not if that's not advertised 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.880 on the camera that you're getting, it probably doesn't have that, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.680 so at night you're not going to see as well. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.040 That's number That's the next one. The other feature that 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.520 you really want is called loop recording. So this means 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.680 that the camera is just going to continuously record most 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.000 of the time to a micro SD card. If you 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.320 get one of these cameras that has a cellular connection, 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.600 that's going to be slightly better just because if the 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.040 camera was stolen or your car was stolen, you might 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.959 be able to still capture some of that video because 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.640 it was uploaded to the cloud. But that's going to 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.880 be a lot more expensive, and those cameras that have 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.400 not taken off in a huge way just because of 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.920 the cost. I think. The other thing is a G 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.120 sensor that means that you're a if it's bumped while 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.400 it's parked, the camera will automatically trigger a recording, and 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.120 so that is going to be a great way to 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.760 capture if something happens to in a parking lot when 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.200 you're not in the car or something like that. Now, 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.600 as for brands, this is tricky because I'll be honest, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.520 the camera that I love ring made and they're no 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.600 longer making it, or they're no longer selling it, whatever 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.760 they're doing. But didn't really work out. But that one 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.400 was great because I had the cellular built in it 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.600 records front and back, and it was just such an 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.920 easy camera to install. But it's just I don't know 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.240 why they're not doing that anyway. So the brands that 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.160 come up in reviews over and over that people like 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.960 are Vofo. I know it's a funny name, but these 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.640 sell a lot on Amazon. For some reason. People really 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.720 like them because I guess the combination of price and 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:53.160 what you get is really good. So Vofo. The next 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.080 one that people really seem to like is Van True. 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.960 And I've seen all these brands out and about at cs, 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.360 so you know, they're all like they've been in the 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.200 kind of the marketplace for a long time. But Van 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.440 True is another one, and I'm trying to see how 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:12.560 much theirs goes for on Amazon. So Van True right now, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.160 everything is on Black Friday specials. They've got one anywhere 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.560 from ninety nine dollars up to two hundred and sixty five. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:23.000 And that ninety nine dollars one, you know's got great reviews, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:24.960 got a lot of buyers, so that one might not 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.960 be bad at all to get. That's the Van True 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.280 E one pro four K. Look at that night vision 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:35.560 so mentions everything I just said Garman obviously tried in 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.320 True Brand in this space and then next space. They 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.560 are out of the UK. They are very popular as well, 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.720 so you can find them. Let me see if they're 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.440 on Amazon next space. Sure enough they are on Oh 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:47.800 are they? 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:48.040 Yeah? 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.520 They are, and they've got one that's ten ADP for 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.040 one hundred and twenty nine dollars. That's on sale for 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.400 eighty dollars. So those are some great options, great things 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.480 to look for. I think the dash cam just gives 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.200 you piece of mind. For sure. I really enjoy having it, 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.160 and for me, it's more of capturing kind of all 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.240 the nonsense that I see on a daily basis on 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.080 the streets driving. But it's good for if you're ever 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.120 in an accident, or you just need some reassurance that 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.120 if something happens to your car, you've got a license 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.920 plate there. Good question, Raymond, Thanks so much for that. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.760 Let's see can we oh one minute? Okay, let's see here. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.240 What can I do in one minute? 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:24.360 Oh? 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.920 Let me tell you about this cloud flare outage. We 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.600 had this giant outage this week on Tuesday. This was 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.480 all related to cloud flare. You probably haven't heard of 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.320 that name, but it's basically a company that helps the 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.000 Internet run. It helps major websites stay safe and stay fast. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.600 They uploaded a file to their system that just took 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.320 down their entire system because that file kept doubling in 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.320 size and it just crashed all their servers. So a 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.080 lot of these companies that relied on cloud Flare, they 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.480 were seeing error messages, and in turn, we were seeing 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:59.720 error messages trying to access the Internet on Tuesday. It 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.080 was not a security issue. It was not cybersecurity related. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.480 It was not a hack. Cloud Flare wants us to 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.199 know that. But the bigger issue here is that because 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.639 so much of the Internet is controlled by these major 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.520 cloud companies, when they go down, we feel the effects 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.880 in a much bigger way than we ever did before. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.800 Eight eight eight rich one oh one eight eight seven 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.520 four to two four one zero one. Coming up, we'll 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.400 tell you about the worst passwords of twenty twenty five 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:35.800 plus more year calls right here. We'll get to the 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.040 phone lines in just a moment, but first let's do 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.200 the gadget of the week. I thought this was interesting. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.399 The mill. This is a high tech food recycling device 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.919 for your kitchen. It's being developed by Matt Rogers, the 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.560 creator of the Nest thermostat, which we love, and now 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.560 he wants to sort of reinvent how we handle food waste. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.440 And there's been a lot of companies. When I've gone 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.600 to these trade shows, I've seen a lot of basically 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.000 smart garbage cans that do this, but nobody's really gotten 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.160 it right just yet, because people are just so used 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.480 to not doing anything with their food scraps except throwing 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.560 them out. Now, unless you are someone who's composting them yourself, 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.840 or you have a little compost or whatever, but this 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.640 is kind of an appliance for your home called Mill 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.080 and their entire startup, which has raised a ton of money, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.400 is focusing on turning these kitchen scraps that you collect 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.679 into lightweight, odor free food grounds, just like you know 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:35.760 coffee grounds. So the device dries and grinds food waste overnight, 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.320 which can shrink forty pounds of scraps into eight pounds 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.240 of dry material. And I love this idea because my 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.439 trash can is always so filled with just stuff that 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.000 you know, it's just it breaks down. Why should it 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.200 be thrown out? And these little grounds could be stored 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.840 for months, They could be mixed into soil used in 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.080 your gardens or mill has a service where they will 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.879 collect them for reuse. And the goal is not just 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.720 to sell people this gadget. It's also to reduce garbage 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.840 truck weight, lower collection costs, cut down diesel use, all 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.280 that good stuff for the environment. And these engineers are 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.880 treating this as people don't want food scraps in their home. 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:15.719 Who wants to have garbage sitting in their home? Who 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.080 wants to have stinky food sitting their home? So the 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.080 whole thing, the whole point of this device is how 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:25.320 do we eliminate any friction between people wanting this? And 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.520 there's one more side of this that's you know, it's 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.720 going to keep people from adopting it, and that's the price. 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.800 It's a thousand bucks for this trash can. So that's 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:34.879 a lot for a trash can. Now, if you've gotten 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.440 one of those simple human trash cans, those are expensive too, 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.119 Don't get me wrong, They're like two hundred dollars. So 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.879 I am very intrigued by this device. It's you can 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.920 rent it for thirty five dollars monthly. They say tens 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.199 of thousands of homes are already using them, and the 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.080 device is simple. If you can eat it, you can 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.639 put it in the mill. And they believe that this 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.920 might be as common in homes as dishwashers. You know, 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.080 those weren't in homes where now they're in every home practically. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.240 But anyway, I thought this was really cool. I did 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.320 test a device that's similar a couple of years ago 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.560 called Loami lm I, and this was a device that 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.440 would would that sat on your countertop. It was also 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.639 kind of expensive. Let's see how much this one is 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.040
