WEBVTT - Tech News: It's Not Easy Being Green

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to tech Stuff, a production from I Heart Radio.

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, and welcome to tech Stuff. I'm your host,

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive producer with I Heart Radio

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and how the tech are you. It's time for the

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 1>tech news for Thursday, November third, two thousand twenty two.

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's rip off the band aid, y'all and get the

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>obligatory updates about Twitter out of the way. First. Elon

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Musk has said that banned accounts, such as the one

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>belonging to former US President Donald Trump, will remain off

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Twitter until the company has established a clear process for

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>evaluating and potentially reinstating accounts. That means it's unlikely that

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the former president will be able to hop back onto

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Twitter before the US midterm elections, which happened on November eight. Next,

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Musk is running damage control while trying to reassure advertise

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>users that Twitter will not descend into total chaos and

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that companies should totally feel good about advertising there. This

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>argument was probably not helped by the fact that in

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the wake of Musk taking over Twitter, the use of

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>racist language and hate speech increased by nearly five times

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the frequency of their use prior to the takeover. That's

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>according to researchers from Montclair State University. The ad world

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>is already seeing a slowdown across the industry due to

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>economic issues. This is not just something that's affecting Twitter,

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>but some advertising companies have been advising their clients to

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>perhaps pause their spending on Twitter while they wait for

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a clear content policy from the new CEO. As for

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>what's happening within the company itself, Bloomberg reports that Musk

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>is looking to cut roughly half of all staff, which

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is still less than what we had previously heard with

0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the the term bandied about late last month. But good gravy,

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>that is a lot of people. Okay, that gets us

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>up to speed with what's going on there. Let's put

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Twitter in the rear view mirror and keep on going.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>The Register reports that Microsoft is considering a strategy to

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>offer PCs through subscriptions and ads rather than your traditional

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>upfront purchase price. So, in other words, if you're in

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the market for a PC and Microsoft does this, you

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.119
<v Speaker 1>could get a computer for like a low monthly subscription

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>and or agreeing to have ads served to you. Jeff Bert,

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the reporter who wrote the article on the Register, reminds

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>us that this is just something that is being considered

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and that we may actually never see ads subsidized PCs

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>from Microsoft. But considering the PC market in general has

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>seen a sharp decline in sales recently, I would not

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>be surprised to learn that companies are looking at alternatives

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>in an effort to remain profitable. Such a PC would

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>likely lean heavily on cloud based services and apps. That

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>means it might not necessarily be particularly beefy. So for

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the gamers out there, I suspect this offer would not

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>really mean anything because it's not likely to be the

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>sort of PC that you would want to run games

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>off of. But if you want a productivity PC, this

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>might end up being away that you can get access

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to one without having to pay hundreds of bucks to

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>buy one. If, as I said, Microsoft moves forward, we'll

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>have to wait and see. The PC market is not

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the only one in the tech industry that is seeing

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>tough times ahead. Qualcom, which is a microchip provider. It

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>makes the processors that power tons of smartphones, including iPhones

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and Android phones, is predicting that phone sales are going

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to slow down significantly due to the uncertain economic climate.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Folks are understandably looking to spend less money as inflation

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>rises in various parts of the world, which makes sense.

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>You want to make sure you're holding back money so

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you can pay for necessities right, And as a result,

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing fewer folks rush out to buy new tech

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>gadgets like computers and smartphones. Previously, Qualcom had predicted that

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>smartphone sales were going to decline in the single digit

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>percentage range, so anywhere between one and nine, but now

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Qualcom has adjusted this prediction to say that it will

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>be more likely a low double digit percentage decline. The

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>uncertain economic climate is not the only factor at play here.

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Another is that the supply chain issues, which were such

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>a huge challenge over the last couple of years, are

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>finally clearing up in some sectors. But this has actually

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>led to increased inventory, so you've got more supply and

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>declining demand. Qualcom predicts this decline demand will extend through

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the year, and that they are currently

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>around eight to ten weeks worth of elevated inventory among

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>various carriers out there, So keep an eye out for

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>smartphone deals in case you're actually in the market to

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>get a new phone before the end of this year.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>It is possible that we might see some enticing sales

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>around the holidays as companies attempt to offload some of

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>this inventory. It's not a guarantee, but it is a possibility.

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>And if you are someone who needs to get a

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>new phone and who has money set a site to

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>do that, be on the lookout for those potential deals.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>They may very well be around the corner. No guarantee,

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>but I'd be shocked if we didn't see some massive

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 1>sales around the Black Friday event. You know, a wise

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>frog once said, it's not easy being green, but it's

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>also not easy to be radiant Orchid or tangerine tango

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>or specter a yellow. Those are names of colors designed

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>by Pantone. And you know it's not easy because if

0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you use Adobe's Creative Suite programs, you now have to

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>pay extra to Pantone in order to use those or

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>any other colors that they've created. Recently, Adobe users have

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>discovered that in order to use certain colors, they have

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to agree to a fifteen dollar per month subscription to

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Pantoe in order to access those. This is due to

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a change in the licensing agreement between Adobe and Pantone.

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And if you're not in design, you might think, what's

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>the big deal here? They are colors owned by some company.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Just use some other color. But Pantone has established itself

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>as sort of an industry standard for design when it

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>comes to color. The color matching in Pantone means you

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what you're getting when you use those colors.

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Of course, those colors might appear differently to the end

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>user depending upon how they're viewing them, like print versus

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>their screen versus a pristinely calibrated screen, etcetera. If a

0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>designer has not coughed up this subscription fee, they will

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.679
<v Speaker 1>encounter the color black rather than you know, poppy red

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>or vibrant green, or whatever Pantone color was supposed to

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>be there. This also applies to past designs. So if

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you are a designer and you use the Adobe Suite

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and you created stuff in the past and you have

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>not yet subscribed to this, if you go back and

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>open up any of your old designs that had Pantone

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>colors in it, you're going to see that those colors

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>have been replaced with black, and you'll get a message

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>saying that you need to subscribe to Pantone in order

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to get access to those colors. Again. On top of

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>all this, it sounds like pantone solution, which is to

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>download a plug in extension that will supposedly work with

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the Adobe Suite, hasn't had a success rate when it

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>comes to designers actually installing that plug in. Some people

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>are reporting that they have gone through the whole process

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>of subscribing and getting the plug in and installing it

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and yet have not been able to access the plugins features,

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>so they haven't been able to get access to those colors.

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>After all, users have let their displeasure be known by

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>review bombing the plug in, which currently has a rating

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of around one and a half stars, which is a

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>big old yikes. The Guardian reports that TikTok, which recently

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>updated its privacy policy, has revealed that staff around the

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>world can have access to user data, including within the

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.320
<v Speaker 1>European Union. That is a big issue due to the

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 1>eu s stance on citizen privacy and how data should

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.839
<v Speaker 1>be handled. The g d p R has extensive rules

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>about the fact that EU citizen data is supposed to

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>be kind of contained within the EU itself. You're not

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>supposed to have that data go outside the EU without

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>express permissions granted, and the thought of people in other

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>parts of the world into scriminately being able to access

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>personal information about EU citizens runs counter to those rules,

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and according to The Guardian, even staff in China would

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 1>be able to look at user data in the EU.

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>That's something that we've seen kind of echoed here in

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the US. We've seen policy makers and analysts raise red

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>flags that TikTok's parent company, which is byte Dance, a

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Chinese company, could potentially end up sharing information by choice

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>or otherwise with the Chinese government. This is something that

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>TikTok reps have denied multiple times, but it remains a

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>concern in the US and in other places. This is

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>likely to feed into investigations in the EU by the

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Irish Data Protection Commission. That's an agency that has had

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>multiple tech companies in their sites to hold them accountable

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.359
<v Speaker 1>for their data practices with regard to EU citizen private information.

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>So not the end of the story by any means,

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's another another sign of how this interconnected world

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>starts to run into some really challenging problems when you're

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>coming into realms like protecting user privacy and security. How

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>do you ensure that when you're talking about a global system,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>but you don't have a global society, right, We have

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>a very fractured society around the world. So, yeah, interesting story.

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, we'll talk about a similar story

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>unfolding here in the United States, also involving TikTok. Right

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>after this break, we're back. So over here in the

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>United States, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has said that the

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>government should probably just outright ban TikTok from operating within

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Card told reporters that he saw very

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>little chance for any sort of suitable arrangement to be

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>made regarding TikTok and the US government specifically with the

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>focus on national security concerns. He expressed pessimism that any

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>deal would be ironclad enough to prevent TikTok from sharing

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>data with bite Dance, and as such, there will be

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>no real way forward to really protect US data other

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>than just banning TikTok outright in the United States, which

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty jarring thing to consider. I cannot remember

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 1>a time when the US government told a US based company,

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>we cannot let you exist here. I mean, apart from

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>companies that ended up being total scams. Right, total scams

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you get because that is a deception played upon the

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>US population. The government may well get involved in those cases,

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>but for ones where it's not a scam but there

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>is a national security element to it, that's kind of

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>an outlier. TikTok, just to remind you again, it is

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a subsidiary of the Chinese company Byte Dance, but TikTok

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>itself is US based, so it is a complicated matter. Um.

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>TikTok has obviously tried to settle these concerns in various ways.

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.839
<v Speaker 1>This summer, it migrated all of US user data to

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>servers that are on Oracles systems, so those servers are

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>not Chinese based servers, and TikTok was really hoping that

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.679
<v Speaker 1>that would help take some of the heat off the

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>company as various policy makers began to question whether or

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>not the company represents a threat to national security. All

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>that being said, FCC Commissioner car has expressed his own opinion.

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>He does not factor into the negotiations between TikTok and

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the US government, so it's not his decision to make.

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>He's just saying, I can't it imagine a deal that

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>would be sufficient to protect U S citizens. And really

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the only way forward I see if you want to

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>protect citizens is to ban TikTok. That you know. Obviously,

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that does not mean the US government will ban TikTok.

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I think that's an a very small possibility.

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it'll happen. Uh, it's hard for me to say.

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I have no insight on this other than

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it feels to me like that's unlikely. But even if

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the government does do that, you know, I will cover

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the story, although you'll probably be aware of it already

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>because there'll be kids all over the place saying things

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>like why dance if nobody is watching. Back in October,

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 1>pro Publica published the results of an investigation into a

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Texas based services company on the matter of price fixing.

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually thought about covering the story when it first broke,

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>but thought it was a little too regional. It's not really,

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, let's let's get into it. So the company

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>is called real Page and one of the services that

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it offers to property managers you know, landlords, is called

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>yield Star, and this is software is designed to suggest

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>optimal rental prices for property managers. The ideas that the

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>software can help a landlord set a proper rental price

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>for any given property, whether it's an apartment or a

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>home or whatever. It takes all these different factors into account.

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, market factors for that specific region, what are

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>other landlords charging that kind of thing, and you get

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>daily updates with suggestions about where to set rental prices.

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And Pro Publica alleges that because you have so relatively

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>few property managers out there, this software leads to situations

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 1>where you effectively have price fixing and collusion between landlords,

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>even though they're not directly talking to one another. By

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the ample fact that they're all relying upon this kind

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of software, it is the software that is effectively handling

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>all the collusion. So Pro publica as investigation also revealed

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>that like in parts of Seattle, for example, seventy of

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>all rental housing is overseen by just ten property managers.

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>So you have just ten entities overseeing seventy of the

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>rental properties in this one place. So if these ten

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>property managers are using this software, then the vast majority

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of rental properties are going to have their prices determined

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 1>by this software that's looking to maximize revenue for the landlords.

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's why landlords want to use the software

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the first place, right, They want to be able

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to determine how much can I charge in rent for

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>this property that will maximize my own personal revenue, Which

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.119
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, that's the whole nature of being a landlord.

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.040
<v Speaker 1>But if this software is doing it for all of

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>different property managers within a region, they can start hiking

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>up that price and there's a lack of competition. You're

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not going to be told, hey, you need to set

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 1>your price at this level, because it will definitely still

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 1>make you a profit, but it will undercut your competition

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and more people will be drawn to your properties instead.

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 1>It's more like, here's how much everyone's charging, so here's

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>how much you can charge. And ultimately it's the end customer,

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, the renters who are hurt by this lack

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of competition, they don't have alternatives they can go to

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>where they're not spending more than what the market would

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>typically bear to rent their properties. So now U S.

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Senator Shared Brown is calling for an FTC review into

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the matter after Pro Publica published this investigation. This kind

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of collusion has happened in the past, but in this

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>case It's really interesting because it's the software that's facilitating

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. Uh it, it really gives the participating

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>landlords and out right it's not they can say, hey,

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>we weren't trying to collude, we weren't trying to fix prices.

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 1>We were using a tool to help determine how to

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 1>run our business. Anyway. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>if this will lead to a full FTC investigation in

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>what that outcome could be, because it could mean that

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>we see a real strict kind of limitation put on

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>this type of software in general, the type that's meant

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:35.399
<v Speaker 1>to maximize revenue for for certain types of services, because

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it could lead to that anti competitive situation. Finally, Meta,

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>in its ongoing quest to make the future of the

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Internet happen even if nobody wants it, announced that it

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>is testing a new feature on Instagram. That feature lets

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 1>a quote small group of creators in the US end

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>quote meant in f T s, and then users can

0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 1>purchase the n f T S. So it's an n

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>f T marketplace that's integrated into Instagram that they're testing.

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>The n f T marketplace is going to be on

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.879
<v Speaker 1>top of the polygon blockchain. Polygon is just one of

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 1>many block chains out there, and that would be the

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 1>foundation for this particular n f T marketplace. So you could,

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, trade on the Instagram platform or directly onto

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the Polygon blockchain. Users will be able to display their

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>n f T s on Instagram, So I guess that's

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a that's an attractive feature. Now, I admit I am

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>not the audience for this. Heck, I'm not even on

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Instagram anymore, so I definitely not the person this is

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>targeted to. I still find the idea of buying n

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>f T s to be questionable at best. Um and

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>creating a culture where displaying n f T purchases rubs

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>me the wrong way. It kind of starts to get

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 1>into this kind of concern ubicuous consumption idea. Listen, I

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 1>grew up in the eighties. I just I find all

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that ikey at this point. So all of that kind

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>of strikes me the wrong way. At this stage. However,

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 1>I can understand the idea as being a way to

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>support maybe a specific artist. Right. So let's say that

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a cartoonist who has an Instagram account, and this

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>cartoonist has decided to mint n f T s of

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>their work based off their work. So you purchase an

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.919
<v Speaker 1>n f T to show your support for that artist.

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:37.840
<v Speaker 1>You really like that artist, You buy an n f

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 1>T to support that person, and so that's the nature

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>of that transaction. And then you also have the opportunity

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to display your n f T on Instagram, which could

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 1>act as a kind of promotion for that artist. You're

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.439
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, I support this person, I think they're worthy

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>of support. You should check them out when you think

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 1>of it that way. I can groove on that, but

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I find the whole n f T approach to be

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>questionable at best. I have proven myself to be completely

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>out of touch on these sorts of things. So I'm

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:12.520
<v Speaker 1>just gonna stop talking now and I'll wait to fade

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 1>into oblivion while I do that. If you would like

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to get in touch with me and let me know

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.639
