 Hello, you can also use timers to turn your lights on or off when you want. Just say Alexa turn on the lights in 30 minutes Hello, hello, hello, I use the echo to turn on my studio lights Echo's got real chatty lately it just Wants to keep talking to you. So this time I said turn on the lights and it said did you know that you can Turn on the lights on a timer just by snit and like, okay, that's kind of interesting. I'm not gonna lie, but really I'm busy I'm gonna do the editor's desk Live for you Well, why would it do that? I wouldn't do that. Why would it pick the wrong mic? Thank you, Ryan Good day bio Cal Lazy tech tony. How are you? How are you? How are you? Hope you're good. Um, yeah, so I'm gonna do the editor's desk Which is usually something you only get delivered to you for as a patron At the associate producer level or above and it you would only get it delivered to you that way But I you can watch me record it. I'm gonna put that in the editor's desk Editors this is just where patrons email me and Ask me questions. Hey, got the mites I was skimming the bol tenure video yesterday. Oh, we're almost in nine years since the tenure That's crazy talk I'm gonna just respond to that email real quick. Okay Lots of editors desk questions very nice I've got three questions. I'm going to answer on the editor's desk today They are from people in the audience like ian, for example Uh, if I don't get to your question today, I will get to it And if you have a question that you haven't said to me, please do feedback At daily tech news show.com as you're listening think like, you know, I have a question Just write it down use the electronic mail system to send it to you Our electronic mail carriers will hand deliver it to my electronic inbox All right, ian says quick question in my head. See ian did exactly that Do you take the time to see if anybody that contacts the show is a patron? It is a given that an editor's desk question is from a patron, but what about anything else? It's human nature that you may pay more attention to patrons email. Thank you ian aka the geeky britt Uh, no That's a short answer I don't I don't look to see if the person is a patron. Uh, I treat all the emails the same Though Some people I know are patrons. I recognize them and I know they're a patron And I wouldn't deny the possibility that part of my brain Approaches those emails in a more friendly manner because I'm like, oh look at that. It's so and so Uh, but but other than that. No, I if someone's just emailing daily tech news show uh, we judge the Show worthiness of the email based on the content of the email And my standard is usually is this something that the wider audience would benefit from hearing either I bet a lot of people have the same question or that's a really interesting piece of insider information That I bet they they didn't know uh, that sort of thing. So yeah, uh, if someone emails the show Their email gets treated Exactly the same as anybody else's Then we have this email I've been extremely busy, but noticed during the ending of the show it no longer states This show is part of the frog pants network It may be none of my business and that is an acceptable answer But thought I would ask why the change is this a good thing just trying to understand Uh, yes, uh, good fair totally fair question Um, we're still as much a part of the frog pants network as we have ever been Uh, which is to say it's a very loose situation between uh, scott Uh and us and it always has been and on fridays. You'll notice I still play the frog pants outro um But the reason That we got rid of the frog pants intro monday through thursday is because howard made us that great little stinger The dtns family podcast Helping each other Understand which was awesome. And I thank howard for that and because there are more podcasts out there that are part of our family Uh android faithful apple vision show the tech john barbecue and tech ai named the show Uh, we figured uh, you know, we should have our own stinger now Uh to indicate you're there But then it became like well, do we get rid of the diamond club or do we get rid of frog pants because playing all three Frankly, that's just a bit much playing two is pushing it so We decided you know what frog pants is the looser of the two diamond club is is as Much as it may or may not really exist at any given moment Uh means our fans and so we should keep the fan thing And uh, we kept the frog pants thing once a week because of that Uh, I hope that answers that question tim Said the perennial question that I will answer again Do you guys receive the same amount of money from patreon if I do a yearly plan or the two months savings? I see just transaction fees trying to figure out if you're short changed Uh, just just another opportunity for me to let people know that if you go yearly, it benefits us uh, it saves in transaction fees and It over the course of all of you doing it saves in people forgetting to Change credit card info or having a payment problem. It you know locks in for 12 months. So I believe That uh, that I don't believe I know that people doing yearly benefits us So even if the math if you just did the math it'd be like well the transaction fees are this month But maybe you're getting a couple pennies less Uh We're ending up getting a lot more because it guarantees the 12 months if that if that makes any sense Uh, all right. I think I had one more One more question Oh, yeah, chris wanted to know how does one sponsor a shout out Is it something through patreon? Do you select who the shout out is for or is it a random backer? Great question. The the sponsored shout out came as a result of matt and a couple other folks Saying hey, it'd be fun if we could Kind of give one of our shout outs to someone Uh, and so matt just kind of went and did it and said here's 50 bucks Give them a master level shout out this month Uh, and so so we did so it's very informal Um, you you just uh somebody what what has happened up until now as someone sends us The money through patreon or through paypal Uh through our paypal address which you can find on the website And says this is to sponsor a shout out um and then We pick someone at random who is not otherwise going to get shouted out and we say hey You've been sponsored a shout out. Uh, in one case matt said please say it this way And so we said it that way which is fine. We wouldn't be like this shout out sponsored by Uh tipped in appliances tipped in for all your refrigerators. You know, we're not going to turn it into an ad Uh, but if you want to say this this shout out of miss music teacher Sponsored by matt then we'll say that uh, that that that's fine. So anyway, there you go. That's how you sponsor a shout out You know what I think I can get to another one Daniel writes dtns family of podcasts You know, he just said dtns family Some of the conversations over the last few months got me thinking when I upgraded from associate producer to co-executive producer I lost my access to my dtns only feed Side bracket He didn't lose access to it. It's just that we no longer provide a dtns only feed on patreon But if you weren't getting it before we didn't cut you off So, I mean, I guess he he lost it by changing tiers, but we don't even offer it We we should have cut it off for everybody because we don't offer it But we decided well if you're still getting it, you know, we'll only you'll only lose it if you change tiers anyway Uh, so I've been listening to gdi for about a year and a half now and I've been very happy with it However, without a regular commute that lets me listen to a lot of podcasts. I've had to unsubscribe to some podcasts I'm typically about a week behind on dtns. I've thought about going back to the public feed But I do want the other shows I also understand why it couldn't continue the way it was the recent talks about a weekly show got me thinking Right now the options are daily tech headlines dtns public and gdi I think my ideal based on length only would be something in between dtns and dth I really want the conversations from dts dtns. So I wouldn't switch to dth However, if some of the less timely discussion topics were moved to a weekly show That would be interesting It probably wouldn't work for most people and it would be a lot too much work I can't recall the other topics now and this email is long enough. Sorry for rambling. I'm just thinking or is it buzzing out loud? Thanks for all the great content dan. Ah, dan. What a wonderful email. Thank you for writing this. I love the way you wrote it, too um, it is something that um aim us who's uh in the chat room or at least was a few minutes ago Uh, has been tooling around with is is coming up with some kind of weekly edit of dtns to make available to people now He says In chat right now It's just too much effort to maintain all the separate feeds adds a little time to publishing and more importantly offers another opportunity for error Uh, so that is one of the reasons that we haven't just jumped on doing it because patreon does not make it easy To offer you alternate feeds within the same patreon. You have to create a separate patreon Um, so we we tried to do that back when we had the multiple tiers and everything and it was just a mess um, so I love this idea of of weekly and uh aim us is is toying around with it and we we should probably give it more attention than we have been given it, but I think uh, I think there is something to it and we'll keep working on the best way to Do it efficiently and also justify the time it takes to do it and provide it to the people who want it I mean, I would just give it to patrons as an option, but then people are going to be like well, wait I don't want this. This is too much stuff. I don't need this. I listen every day, etc. etc. So um, yeah Amos is like i'm ready So, yeah, uh, we just we just need to to solve those those very solvable problems and then we can do something like that But yeah, it's it's weird. Everybody wants a different thing, but if you offer everyone all the things then people say that's too much choice I don't want all those choices So it's trying to trying to balance all that out for folks All right, that is it for the editor's desk. Thank you all for supporting us at patreon.com slash d t n s and Send us your thoughts feedback at daily tech news show com and I will talk to you soon. Why? Why we have so many people hanging out today. That's that's awesome. Good to see everybody both on twitch and on youtube Hi, howdy everybody Oh, yeah, there's a little uh, I have this little shroud the shroud of camera That comes down. Thank you We are going to mention denmark and google on the quick hits cr poll. Yes and it's in my uh It's in my newsletter too At free tech newsletter dot com Although, I don't think it's in the free version now that I think about it I am going to post audio of the editor's desk We get more twitch viewers these days bio cow It is it is Well, we get more twitch live viewers We actually get more youtube viewers when you consider later on demand Because twitch isn't just set up for on demand, but live. It's still mostly twitch because that's the habit that people have But the youtube channel in general gets more people so Whatever happened to patrick beija lemonlee. Um, he's living his life in finland, which has a horrible Time difference which makes it painful for him to do the show live He has two kids, uh, which make it painful to do anything in his life that isn't his kids Although his kids are wonderful and not painful. Uh, so yeah, he's just it's a story of of too busy and too hard With time difference. So there you go Yeah, if you can make showbot work with uh youtube Uh, I think that would be helpful But it's not something where it's like, oh my god, we have such a big audience better You better hurry up and do that. Yeah I see him post, uh in places to clinton. I see patrick, uh posting and and it does seem like he's He's slowly been getting back into his own podcast like loranda vutek He hasn't done the filius club in a while. I feel like when I start seeing him do the filius club again Then that means he's coming up for error so I'm hopeful for that But yeah, you know what I haven't gotten in touch with him in a while I should get in touch with him Because I like the old patrick beija. He's good folks all right, um What should I name this editor's desk? What happened to frog pants? Tom explains the new end of show stinger Um Oh, thanks goth them heights. I'm glad I'm glad you enjoy getting that Com explains the new end of show stinger Uh, what else did I talk about? This is that thing that happens when you're done with a show and you just can't remember anything you just said This is happening to me right now And nothing happened to frog pants binary spiral. We we just uh play their stinger less often than we used to uh How to sponsor a shout out thank you and a weekly Version of a daily tech show Hmm. There we go What's wrong with the Tampa Bay Rays? All right This just goes to those folks Publishing now Oh, yeah, do patrons get preference. That's all right that I tease that Jonathan Colton Booking for the 2025 joco cruise. I can't believe he's still doing those cruises. That's awesome Hey, philip shane Good to see all of y'all. All right So hey amos. We don't have any, um patron stuff in today's template yet Uh, okay, those have been xxigned That should be xxigned those are assigned I'm gonna knock out for consideration Thank you And prove it on the show tomorrow Oh, I still need a gdi topic crap During dtns. We see youtube comments here, but not during office hours I don't know how you're seeing youtube comments in twitch then Maybe joe is doing something I was unaware of That's weird Oh, yeah, frog pants does does a thing during tms where you can see things In both, but we have not done that Gemini Okay, so it's not anything i'm not i'm unaware of it's just frog pants doing it tms doing it Uh, i'm glad to that you think of us all as the same That's good rogers blog about steve jabs versus the vision was really interesting would be great to hear a dtns sorry agreed testing hi clinton I see you I see both in stream yard. Well, let's look at the uh, the old feeds shall we? Astrazine yeah, do y'all have something you'd like to hear me justin and sarah talk about today knowing justin Jiminy cricket not gemini cricket 25 m dpx man, no he didn't Guilty pleasure got them heights. You know what I kind of like that What do you think? Well, we're going to talk about gemini in the main show philip shane So that's that's for sure. We could extend that could extend into gdi tennis Uh deep thick video conference. I see yep See our poll. I know what you mean But as someone who's covered this for 20 years every time there's a name change Somebody says that I like whatever the old name was better You can never change a name without having a good chunk of people say that So they're just used to it I called bard brad for a while to binary spiral I guess we'll call it gemini now Man hit a dry spot We could just extend the conversations from dtns today Well, I think uh, I think that's all I need to do prep wise. I got to go do a couple of the things that aren't on camera Um, no no see our poll. I know you're not complaining. It's just funny to me that like There's always somebody who liked the old name better and and legitimately so right I agree. Sometimes those code names are uh, the nintendo revolution was one that I was on that That fence of like, oh no revolution way better than we I mean, I got used to it, but Nintendo revolution. How cool was that? Thank you. Amos Yeah, I thought bard was a pretty good name too But bard wouldn't work across all of its uses. I I assume that's why they Why they changed it cat philip shane All right, thanks y'all this this was great.
