 Oh just from the parts. Yeah, cuz you never get the whole bug, right? You just get like a little pinch or like a left side from a certain kind of ant or something Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure how but I'm sure they probably something to do with food safety Like all this is this doesn't mean you have botulism just means you have a lot of sugar Yeah, that's crazy It's like man.

I was like what's the old arsenic and old lace. Yeah, arsenic and old neural lace Sounds like sounds like a cocktail a little bit. I like a neural lace, please Vodka rum neural lace will make you a neural ace. Yeah Come on over to ace hardware or you can get it. Oh, you guys have ace hardware. Yeah, we have a few Not too many. They're all franchisees or something. No, it's a co-op is what it is. Is it a co-op? Yeah, something weird. It's not like it's it's a chain, but it's not a chain Yeah, we have those and we have Home Depot, of course, we have lows and we have I forgot the other one. There's one. Do you have an Osh? No, no, that one's not familiar Orchard supply hardware. I think that's just a California one. Oh, you do have that California. I thought we had one Orchard supply orchard supply hardware Osh It's more consumer friendly well It's one thing how I can tell in certain movies whoever wrote it never lived where they set the movie because there was one where was set in the Staten Island and the guy was Like a mob movie and he was calling some other he was calling his wife before he, you know Killed himself because he knew too much and it's gonna happen. Anyway, I said, I'm gonna go down to the Osh It's like I don't think there's an Osh out anywhere Maybe he ad-libbed it. Here it is the writer. I'm one in Orem. There's two here. I knew I'd see me That start out as a farmer's cooperative to probably they may be co-op still to I don't know I Like them I prefer orchard in so much that the people there actually are one Helpful and that's not to say people at low. It's time for the show, but it's sorry. Hey Hold that thought hold your orchard All right, you guys ready? Yep. There we go Daily Tech news show is powered by you the audience were funded entirely by you not Advertisements find out more at Daily Tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Wednesday March 29th Samsung day 2017 I'm Tom Merritt Jordan me Scott Johnson. How was your happy Samsung day wearing my Samsung pants? I have my Samsung hat somewhere in here. I do have a Samsung today really is though This is all the tech I've been hearing about all day today I should have been wearing my Samsung lions hat that I got at the baseball game in South Korea Where they cheer Samsung and then some other things that I don't remember But it was kind of fun to just be sitting there It was actually right after the first note 7 recall And we were at the game and they're all these fans cheering Samsung. I'm like at least they're happy. Yeah Yeah, it was Samsung's big return with the galaxy s8 and s8 plus first phone first phones They've announced since the note 7 recalls. Yeah We're gonna get to talk a lot about those and I think it's gonna be fun to talk about them Outside of the context of the notes catching on fire. Yes The previous one caught on fire during exactly and none of these that are coming out none of this has been announced or even sequels to that So everyone just relax. Let's Samsung have a moment and we'll talk more about it We'll talk more about it in a bit. Let's start with a few other tech things. You should know NBC announced it'll broadcast all all of its 2018 Olympics coverage live No more delayed prime-time broadcasts on the West Coast mountain time zones. Yeah heard about this doesn't surprise me They got to do what they got to do. I'll see you at 3 a.m. Everybody security. Oh, go ahead. What you say? I just said Security researcher Tavis Ormandy's been on the show a lot lately has discovered another vulnerability in last pass with This the company is working on a fix I guess users are advised to copy passwords from last pass in the vault and enable two-factor authentication on any site that offers it And just my own little add addition here always enable two-factor authentication on any site that supports it Yeah, for sure. Tavis Ormandy is working overtime to keep last pass secure kidding Google launched open source.google.com providing a central directory for all its open source projects They'll still have their stuff on github as well But it's a nice convenient place to look up all the stuff they're doing now here are some more top stories Microsoft's Windows 10 creators update will start rolling out worldwide On April 11th It's the way they do this now is if you don't do anything sometime in the first couple weeks after April 11th You'll get the update if you want to go and get it right away You can make it come on April 11th But that's the earliest of the official release forget about insiders previews and release to manufacturing all that among the new Features are support for mixed reality devices like the hollow lens a dedicated game mode new nightlight mode Parental controls things like screen time limits the new paint 3d. That's good in VR ebooks coming to the Windows Store you read them in the Microsoft Edge browser and Several of the reviews that I read today Said as goofy as that sounds it actually works pretty well Microsoft also announced its surface book and surface studio going on sale in more markets April 20th surface book coming to a lot of markets Surface studio just coming to three new ones. So what's interesting for me are two things in this From my perspective and I come obviously with a very particular piece of bias when talking about their Creators update and that is I want windows to become a more Robust sort of art station and I'm very interested in the current studio pro as our surface pro rather their surface studio rather And it's future incarnations The word on the street that I've heard I heard from a very insider person that I can't say his name So I can't say if any this is true or not except that If you already have a studio, you may see better performance Meaning less lag with the pen better screen performance that sort of stuff with your Surface studio if that's true that immediately puts the surface studio back in consideration for me If not this version then whatever the next revision will be so that person bought you a bedella It was not but it was close to It was a guy who was sweating real bad and rooting for the clippers I don't know what's going on with that. No, you know, I mean windows 10 is gonna make the surface studio better is really not a big It really should Honestly, that should just be expected. Yeah, you know, so the other thing is I the dedicated game mode I don't think people should discount that too quickly It's a lot like a TV support this for example, and it's not I know it's not quite apples for apples here but the idea that your Your hardware can behave in a way that is best optimized for game performance is a thing that a lot of people are gonna Be happy about you're gonna get more mileage out of the video cards. You already have You're gonna just extend the lifespan of your system a little bit longer We need to see how it works in reality, but I'm pretty stoked about that. Yeah, I mean, it's it's not a big update but in some respects there are not like Ridiculously advanced features or or things that are gonna change the way you use windows There also aren't a lot of we're catching up features anymore. There's not a lot of hey We're bringing the start menu back. We know you guys didn't like that This is this is definitely an evolutionary update, but it's kind of a nice stable update where they can just add features it kind of reminds me of You know windows windows 98 the you know plus pack It's it's giving you some cool new stuff. You probably live without it But but it's not bad if it's got the thing that you've been waiting for. Yeah to me It's almost like a philosophical update. This is them putting a brand on the update and saying alright Well, here's a big push for creatives as an example and for our AR VR plans and all this other stuff Just feels very forward thinking it doesn't feel like they're fixing things. It feels like they're adding things I think that's really good for them The US House of Representatives passed a resolution preventing new ISP privacy rules from the FCC to go into effect. I Found this to be a bummer. There's my editorial for today The rules would have required ISPs to get user consent That means me and you before selling Consumer information like browser history that sort of stuff opponents of the rules think ISPs Should abide by the same rules as internet companies like Google and Facebook who already sort of have to adhere to this The bill now goes to the president to be signed into law So there's a lot of confusion about what's actually happening here among the outrage There are currently no rules for ISPs regarding your privacy. So they're not repealing rules They're preventing new rules from going into place These rules were put in place by the FCC under Tom Wheeler were set to go into effect mostly in December and This bill actually stops the FCC from doing that So the current chairman a GPI doesn't have to take any action the Congress is saying no FCC You don't get to put these kind of rules in place So a lot of people are saying oh, they're taking away our privacy You didn't have any before that's this was going to give you some privacy and now it won't and I I Know that might sound like splitting hairs to some of you But this isn't actually changing the way ISPs were working up until now So you can argue that maybe they haven't taken advantage of their ability To access your private data because they knew these rules were coming but these rules haven't been voted on forever They've they've been able to sell your data So there are other pressures to keep ISPs from Releasing your data. This will just not put one of those pressures as a law or a guideline from the FCC It also means that the other side of that argument that's saying oh, well, you know Google and Facebook They they they get to share your browsing history. So why you why shouldn't ISPs? There is no rule for the ISPs They actually get to do more with your private data under the current rules Then Google or Facebook does because Google or Facebook have to abide by the FT see rules And because ISPs are categorized as a common carrier the FTC cannot Regulate them. So we've gone from a position of oh, we were gonna have these rules to protect privacy But now the Congress has said no we want to stop those rules, but we have no rules on the table yet, right? I I guess my my frustration or whatever internet anger I have about this is more about the preemptive nature of it The idea that we want to block any existing ideas for rules and also make it harder for rules to be put in place seems Like a preemptive strike towards people's ability to control their own information now whether or not it depends out to be that way I'm with you that if people are gonna be upset about this I think they should be as upset as they can be about the factual Nature of it like what is actually happening not what's being taken away, but what is actually happening since nothing's being taken away? It's the preemptive nature that gets me and and kind of crawls up my skirt I don't like it, but then again, you know, who knows in five years I may look back and go boy I'm sure glad we didn't allow that because there was a lot of weird rules that we're gonna go into place and they were far Overreaching or whatever. I suppose you could have any argument Call it 2024 site that we want but as it stands right now I just don't love the idea that they can sort of wholesale sell my stuff and use it any which way they please And I'm not even a guy that worries that much about internet security I mean, I want to be secure my passwords and stuff But I don't care that much about where my face is or what I said gets out there or whatever And even it bugs me so I don't I can understand why people are upset. I guess is what I'm saying I think, you know, there's lots of things that bother me about this I don't want the ISPs to be able to be accessed my social security number my financial information Children's Information browsing history. I don't want them to have the right to do that The best way to discourage them from do doing that is what should be under debate But instead what we got is nothing all they did was knocked down rules that were going to go into place That's why I'm making a point of saying that is we didn't we didn't do anything To to increase your privacy. We didn't decrease your privacy either though because we didn't have any in the United States So on the one hand that can be comforting the ISPs have have not been doing anything terribly horrible They've made they've made some mistakes along the way and they've been outed and and shamed into stopping them And maybe that's good enough. Maybe that's what will continue is just keep that sunshine On the ISPs whenever they try to overreach embarrass them in public to where they they come back But you know, we haven't had The nightmare scenario up till now So we have to find another way from stopping that and I'm disappointed that Congress didn't see fit to say, you know what? We do need some privacy regulation. So we're gonna take away the FCC's privacy rules We replace them with these which we think are better. They didn't do that They just they just left it as it is with no rules whatsoever Yeah, or at the very least even if they don't have anything prepared to replace it I'm not trying to make a reference to anything else here folks Even if they don't have a good plan for replacing what those rules are or what those potential rules are They're really bad about just getting in front of it and and explaining it being you know Educating people as to what this was that seemed to come out of nowhere People weren't really prepared for it And so there's two things at play one them not really communicating it very well and two a large portion of the population Already thinking they have some kind of way of privacy rules in place that don't exist and that's on us I mean if anything that that's the message should be like hey guys You didn't have any to begin with so if you want any you're gonna have to put some pressure on your representative or your ISP And if we had a system in the United States where you had several ISPs to choose from and you could just put pressure by choosing the one That gives you the most privacy protection that might work But that's not the system we have either and again Congress didn't do anything to say and what we're gonna do is We're going to reclassify ISPs and get them under the FTC or we're going to encourage competition We're gonna put in this plan that will allow you to have multiple choices and lots of competition in the marketplace It didn't do anything all they did was stop something from happening as pretty obstructionist Yeah, if I'm only Tom we had some kind of I don't know Electronic public wide-reaching bulletin board service that could post information about these things before it happens that'd be great right Intel says it's forthcoming 10 nanometer cannon like chips will be a full generation ahead of Samsung Qualcomm and TMSC Intel promises 25 percent more performance 45 percent lower power and an actual shipping deadline of the end of this year So we're going to get 10 nanometer chips at Intel before the end of the year at least that's what Intel promises Qualcomm already produces a 10 nanometer chip for example the snapdragon 835. That's the one inside the samsung galaxy s8 Intel says it has a better feature density though So it can have twice the transistors of say a qualcom 10 nanometer chip Intel also released its new marketing terms 10 plus and 10 plus plus For future versions of cannon lake as they add more features to it And then of course there'll be a new code name for the seven nanometer chips. Those are expected to arrive in three years So who's their main market share for who is using their mobile chips? I don't know the answer to this I didn't look it up and i'm kind of springing it on not a lot It's not a lot mostly tablets. Yeah, but this is not about that There's some chinese handsets that use them. I found earlier today. Yeah, this is about all their chips not just mobile chips Okay, all right. I just always wonder. I mean every time anything comes up about What's being used in current phones and it's never intel It always makes me worry about intel because I just feel like oh no. Yeah, I mean Intel has missed that boat Intel is trying to make chips that continue to be used in desktops laptops and tablets where they they can make a little bit of Progress because of windows 10 being tablet friendly And internet of things they're going for internet of things in ai and all of that Yeah, well, good luck to them. I say I think they missed about anyway the cannon lake chips just to be clear The cannon lake chips are for their entire range They do still make mobile chips and they will continue to make those mobile chips Right, which is good. Mobile chips are the best kind of chips. Mmm mobile chips Sorry navigation app ways currently owned by google now allows users to place food orders for faster pickup With its order ahead feature initially partnering with duncan donuts. I like duncan donuts Users must pick favorite items in the duncan donuts app and then ways can place the order at the nearest location with a single tap and uh, all right I'm kind of all in on this. I was trying to think of better ways to use my My ways app because I don't drive a ton anymore Uh, but I sure do like duncan donuts. So I'm I'm about to have my world collide. I think Okay, but this this is one of those things that sounds great I'm on the road and I'm headed to duncan donuts and now I want to order ahead. Hey dangerous to do that while you're driving So don't do that. Either have a passenger do it or do it before you leave And if you were about to leave why didn't you just do it in the duncan donuts app to begin with? Good point So what do you think this is just nice and a little low marketing fun? It's marketing fun, right? Like it gets a lot of people to hear the words duncan donuts It it gets ways to be able to say hey Folks who are buying ads with us. Here's an extra feature if you buy ads with us that can even lead to maybe some conversions of sales I'm skeptical how many people will actually take advantage of this I mean not that not that the safety thing will be the problem It's more the annoyance of like ah I'm driving and I want to order duncan donuts, but I never set up my preferences in the duncan donuts app I'll have to remember to do that someday. Also. I don't know exactly. How do I tap? Do I tap right now in order? Like it just starts to narrow the funnel too much for me Yeah, I'm in the I'm in the same place. I've been for a long time and that is When we get far enough with with apple and google's voice assistance and echoes and everything else out there with voice assistance Where I can just casually at any sort of inflection just say Uh order ahead some duncan donuts be there in five minutes and have that natural language translate to the thing I wanted to do. I never took my hands off a wheel. I didn't have to think very hard about it I didn't have to set anything up. I can just say uh two chocolate glaze two old fashion and Done and then I'm done and need to even pipe up and say which donut place these are these are the ones close to you I'll take duncan. Okay, great. Yeah, and that's it and have it be that efficient I know we're not there yet, but that's That's where all this ends up This is I'm kind of verging on on damning a feature for not being as as advanced as it might become someday Maybe this is the step they need to take to get to what you're talking about Because you could plug this thing into google assistant and all of that But it just doesn't feel like it's as cool as they want us to think it is Well, that's how you need your interim step to be it needs to be wicked cool for the time It's here like vr vr is nowhere near where it's going to be but it's in a place As much as we'll laugh at it in 10 years as to how wired up it was and big and heavy and everything We're gonna it's in a place that is that is super cool Anyway, right and totally works and does what it needs to do and is just the right stepping stone to the next level This does not feel like one of those this feels like a weird tacked on ad Hey, folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in around five minutes subscribe to daily tech headlines Dot com our sister podcast or a brother podcast our sibling podcast and now It's time to discuss the samsung announcement. All right. I'm gonna give you the download right now. Okay scott There's a lot one of the reasons I said around five minutes Is daily tech headlines was like almost six minutes because of all the samsung announcements Uh samsung announced its galaxy s8 and s8 plus go on sale april 21st here in the us The s8 is a five point eight inch screen the s8 plus is a six point two inch screen They both have the curved around the sides infinity screen 2960 by 1440 super amulet Tiny bezels on the top and bottom so it's Virtually all screen on the front Both of them have the two one aspect ratio remember lg pioneered that it's 18 9 if you want to compare it to 16 9 So it's a little longer than your wide screen aspect ratio Sports hdr 10. There's a dedicated button for the bixby assistant Which is a voice assistant, but also can do some cool things with the camera Where you can point it at something and bixby will be able to recognize The object and show you like a shopping page or a pinterest page As I mentioned snapdragon 835 inside has an sd card slot if that's your deal 12 megapixel rear camera 8 megapixel front camera not dual cameras Uses a virtual home button with haptic feedback on the front so similar to what the iphone does But the fingerprint sensor on the s8 is on the back Also has an iris scanner so you can unlock it with your face. There's a usbc port a headphone jack Bluetooth 5.0 so it can do that extra bandwidth extra range stuff like power to bluetooth speakers at once Comes with android 7.0 and smaller batteries because Batteries and samsung are a thing that people are careful about these days 3000 mAh battery for the s8 3 500 mAh battery for the larger s8 plus samsung also announced dex Which is a dock that has usb and hdmi ports you pop your s8 into the dex and you can use it like a desktop computer s8 and s8 plus available in black gray and silver in the us and also in golden blue around the world And the s8 can do carrier aggregation 4x4 mimo and 256 quam signal Which means it can do up to a gigabit of speed on a compatible network like t-mobile pre-orders start tomorrow If you're listening to this on wednesday they start on thursday march 30th at 12 o one a.m Eastern time prices are set by the carrier I saw verizon as cheap as 729 usually the s8 starts at 750 and it goes up to around 899 depending where you get it Sexy device. I mean the thing that jumps out immediately is the screen is kind of gorgeous. Um I don't I don't know what this means in terms of you know, everybody keeps talking about a bezel-less design for apple's 10th anniversary phone Um, and since that's sort of seen You know in the market anyway as their chief competition from a design standpoint It will be interesting to see if they do anything But I noticed that not only do you get this slick screen you get a nice, uh, you know Slick device in general, but this thing Uh, a pair or appears to have no, uh, they went ahead and included a three three in a A 3.5 millimeter jack on the thing. Yep Your regular old headphones folks still a thing if you're an android person So go for it Oh, if you're a samsung person there's there's there's some other of android phones that have gotten rid of the headphone jack But samsung is like nope. We're keeping it around for you and I thought I mean for a hot minute I thought maybe they were gonna chuck it and there were rumors to that effect that the s8 wouldn't include a headphone jack, but You know part of me conspiratorily wonders if they kept it as a as a crowd pleaser Yeah, you know like one less enough people are mad at us about you know Batteries catching fire. Let's leave the headphone jack. Yeah, exactly But also real quick to the point about thinner batteries Um, we all know all the stories and you know, what was happening We've talked a billion times on the show about what happened with the notes or the note 7 Um Is just going thinner gonna solve the problem We had a great guest on last week talking about this and he seemed to seem to suggest anyway that Not trying to increase density will Do you some favors in terms of you know the problems that those phones were having? But is it worth losing? I don't know. What a weird balance, right? Do I want to be on fire or do I want to have a lot more battery life in it? Well, I'd rather not be on fire. So there's there's your answer and Other companies are able to use bigger capacity batteries without catching on fire So it's Samsung's just being extra careful here. They did say that the way they've created these batteries They they should last longer In terms of you know before they die out and you need to replace them So that's kind of a nice perk But then if they don't last long enough during the day, that's going to be a problem for people Yeah, plus I mean again, it's anecdotal but Everyone I talked to says the 835 the snap dragon dragon chip that specific chip is pretty battery efficient So maybe it'll be fine helps They'll meet in the middle here somewhere and it won't be a problem But but remember poor samsung I feel so bad for them because it's a legitimate question given the note 7 but The galaxy never had a problem There's no reason to believe that the galaxy s8 would have a problem, but they just have to do this for optics Yeah, they do it's purely that and because we'd associate samsung with battery problem now and it's it's unfortunate But now if this you know, this is a beautiful phone We shouldn't have to be talking about its battery if it weren't for the note 7 problems We wouldn't be we'd be talking about how underwhelming the this is because it's a pretty phone But it hasn't added a lot of features that that seems to be the other rub here is samsung has made a beautiful phone But phones are at a point where you really can't wow people much anymore. All right. I mean that screen is wowing me I'll be honest, but beyond that I think you're pretty totally right I mean, here's where here's where it's going to matter to them If they can launch this and it reviews well and people are happy with the s8 great But I know a lot of android and samsung users specifically who wait around for the note releases Those are the phones they want and love and they felt really burned again. I didn't mean to use the word burned in that regard or did you Really let down let's say with the 7 regarding that problem And all in the things that it some most of them didn't even ever have a an actual problem with the battery They just couldn't get on airplanes with their phones or things like that would have well Yeah, they had to send them back. They couldn't use them anymore Whether you know, even if they weren't the problem that that some of the others were so that's the hard sell So here you've done it again. You've brought it back to the note 7 poor samsung. I keep doing it But my point was this There's this market of note lovers and they they are dedicated to the note line I know people who love that line of phones And they're going to be the ones to please here because they don't necessarily want the s8 They want the next note. So All I'm saying is hopefully when that comes around assuming it does come around The note doesn't let them down I guess samsung also announced a new gear vr headset come in april 21st It's 129 dollars bundled together with the new motion controller That's the one that has a little trigger on it. They they talked about this one at ces It can be purchased separately for 39 dollars if you already have a gear vr And you don't want to you just want to use this with that oculus Which is behind the vr stuff for samsung promises 20 titles that'll use that new motion controller coming in the next month Oculus also updated oculus home to boot up faster and look clearer and include a vr browser A modest update most people were excited about this controller when samsung first announced it And so really just getting a price and release date on it now Yeah, and a lot of people were assuming this meant a positional tracking for the headset itself And that is not the case does not seem to be no it doesn't seem to be unless they surprise us But the controllers which are positionally sort of locked and tracked once the device is on Will work like a switch does those switch controllers if you've used those on your tv You're probably wondering how is this working without the traditional Straight out the camera. Yeah or for the we you and the truth is they've figured that out So I suspect that's how that's going to work and it's going to feel great Uh, the real the real must buy for me one of these days for a mobile vr solution Is when they get actual positional tracking down and how that's going to be achieved Nobody's sure yet without some sort of lighthouse or device outside of the headset But that is really exciting and there's stuff on the you know, there's things happening So we'll see when that happens. Yeah, facebook's talked about some of their their ways of approaching positional tracking without external sensors Also, it should be mentioned here 129. I think that's only what 30 more Than the original gear vr. Yep, although now it's above 100 right and the gear vr's big thing was Hey, we're cheap now. They're not cheaper than the daydream vr But they come with this controller. So I don't know like I I feel like that's a that's a that's a nice little happy medium I also think that Oculus being as involved in this as they are. I know it's not exactly the same as they are with their own headset but their own Uh, stumbling blocks they've run into by not including controllers for their first run of the oculus Home system was a major mistake for them. I think they're still paying for that mistake Um, despite the fact that their new controllers are widely thought to be really great and awesome That was a little too late for a lot of buyers and it's kind of stagnated their sales So I think it's I think it's good for them to come out with a reasonably priced product that has controllers included So the people are getting a real vr experience not just an excuse to watch 360 video Samsung also announced an updated gear 360 vr camera Uh, I can record in 360 degrees like like it like it should uh, but supports 4k Has a new design new new grip that's easier to hold It's compatible with android 5 and later and ios 10 devices and later as well as windows and mac Samsung also announced its first wi-fi system the samsung connect home each unit can connect to others for wider coverage So it's like an euro Or the google home an app called samsung connect manages the system But only available on the s8 at launch though They did say it'll eventually come to more android devices and probably ios So this is not something that all of you are going to be able to take advantage of The app can also manage devices on samsung smart things platform and the connect home Uh can connect by zigby and z-wave so it can work with philip hugh and all that sort of thing The home will come in a pack of three and they're also selling another version for people who don't have a big place And just need a single unit. That's the connect home pro. It's got a little faster processor And uh and some and a little faster wi-fi actually it's got got four by four instead of two by two Which is meant for solo use in smaller houses. No price release date on any of that though Well, okay I will say this i hope the ios app comes because it sounds like it'll control my security cameras Which i have right now from samsung and their current app for doing that Is an egregious abomination to humanity. It's well, okay, but are you going to buy a connect home just to do that I just want the app. Can they give me the app? No the app is for connect home and then ios Can I just go get it? Is it possible just to go get i'm just saying it's gonna if it's on ios That means it's on the app store. It means it's up there, right? Yeah But you it controls the connect home and that's how it connects with the other stuff Uh, I wanted to control my cameras. I'll buy a connect home. That's what sam's likes try to do here, right? I hate that they're doing that just because I bought those just recently and which cameras did you buy? They're um forgot the names they're samsung something somebody recommended them I think it was my brother-in-law recommended them and I like him a lot. They're great Well, maybe they'll update that app too as that would be great because right now it looks like ios four And it looks like it's running on like an iphone 3. It's awful Anyway, we'll see here. Here's let me just solve this for you scott Buy a samsung galaxy s8 or s8 plus and a connect home pack whenever it comes out at whatever price they want to charge you Done problem solved. Yeah, we're all done now. I don't Samson is like we've got this covered scott. You just need to live in our universe. That's what I was thinking It's all solved now. I know listen next time I have a conundrum like this. I'm calling you Yeah, or just call samsung apparently I you know, this is the thing I was actually kind of excited like oh good another another competitor in this space for for all of these mesh wi-fi routers I think that's great the more choice we have the better options will get and then they come out like And the app is good on the s8. That's it. Not even any of our other phones yet Oh, gosh, you know lock in like that just never never plays I was really hoping to also for this is slightly off the topic of the home stuff But I was really hoping they would have come out and said oh and by the way now we are day in date on android updates I think there are a lot of people in the market who are buying pixels and previously bought nexus phones Who are in it to win it with updates when they come out and the fact that you still can't do that on a flagship samsung phone I know frustrates personal android friends of mine So that would have been a really nice little piece of frosting on the cake that would further distance everybody from battery gate That I brought up again That you had to bring up again Well, thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit and could submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com Let's get to our pick of the day from james tisdale He said your conversations the last couple of days got me thinking about my favorite books in the technology section category monday's talk of fears of ai got me thinking of daniel suarez's two books demon and freedom tm We could be just one silicon valley mogul's death away from living in that world Tuesday's talk of controlling things with your mind makes me think of denisey taylor's book We are legion. We are bob here the book looks at what it would be like to have yourself cryogenically frozen Then wake up to find you are now a bodyless ai program personally I would much rather live in suarez's world But hope that we do someday get the tech level that would make taylor's possible. Thanks for the great shows I'm proud to be a patreon backer. Thank you james. Oh, that's awesome I have not read any of these books, but now I want to especially the one about waking up an ai I have no idea how that resolves well. I assume someone gets their body back That was maybe or do know But uh, I'll have to read and find out. Uh, also regarding the future of advanced neural lace allen rodin says imagine Some people will continue to use feature brains most of the older people other people Perhaps younger and or wealthier will use smart brains that do not require an external device That's interesting. Yeah, I'm going to be one of the old men stuck on the the feature brain That's all external ar glasses and stuff. That's probably and lastly says there is an advertising tech a while back I read a listicle of wacky brain technology implications And one of them had to do with having tech in your brain that affects your thoughts and can deliver ads Did you really have that idea or desire or did an ad put it there? The whole concept is kind of scary Yeah, security. I mean, I got we got a lot of emails of people poking holes like great as soon as it gets hacked And then your brains, uh, you know ran somewhere. Yes security obviously always a big big problem with that but this one particularly I liked because Of the idea of advertisers just like, um, I want a coke. Wait, why did I think that? I really think that it starts to really wrap into itself. Do you let me let me ask you this question Speaking of ransomware, how much do you think your brain? will go for on the dark web For a but that's not the way ransomware works ransomware works by finding out how much a company can afford Then you lock up their data and charge them what you think they can afford to pay Oh, okay. Well then same question just with that in mind Uh, literally, so I don't I don't know. I I I mean I Have I would have to tell you how much I'd have to look at how much salary I make I mean basically you're asking me what's to give you a percentage of my salary. Well, here's the note Okay, let me let me back this up. This is the way I'm thinking about yeah Yeah, the old lady's using windows. She clicks on an ad. She shouldn't she now has some kind of malware It has locked her computer up and she gets a message that says unless you send us 50 bitcoins Uh, you we're going to wipe your whole thing. You're right and if somebody sent that to you and said, yeah We've got access to your brain. You thought about the wrong ad and it was malware We now control your brain and unless you pay us 400 bitcoins. We're not giving your brain back That's a much darker scenario, right? Yeah, and and I'm thinking it probably wouldn't lock down your brain It would just reduce you to only your own thoughts So at that point you can't take advantage of the neural lace, which you've become dependent on It could be pretty compelling to want to pay that. Yeah, that's actually a book I'd read also. That's not bad Uh, regarding ai replacing jobs recuse 7 pointed out that bank tellers in the early 2000s actually increased After atms came on the scene because they actually changed from transactional tasks to more cognitive work roles got restructured and less overall staff was needed to run a bank But the upshot was that the cost per bank decreased allowing more brick and mortar banks to come on the market for the same Cost that it always was which increased market saturation Since then banks have backed off a bit some but because they built too many brick and mortar some because they actually were hurt by the 2008 economic turn down this back off as well as some bad press recently Is only given rise to credit union success and even more jobs But point being that you had more tellers after atms came out Which is everybody thought oh, we won't have any more teller jobs after atm So that's a good point when more computers and more lotus one two three copies came out There were more accountants than there were before that and we got out of order here real quick So let me just do uh this one hometown rival yesterday if you didn't hear our post show Found that you can set up two step Verification for an apple id we were saying you can't set up two factor authentication without owning an ios device But you can do two step the difference being two step verification Sends you a text message to any text message capable phone So you still need a phone, but it doesn't have to be an apple phone So thank you home town rival for finding that and we'll have a link to that support link in The show notes alina gaze an ova I know I got that right guys over this question through Patreon regarding the number of services like facebook and google allowing for location sharing which seems to be on the rise Uh, they asked this is this an indication of an excuse me of acceptance that our location is just another asset of personal information sets A big part of which is already shared Does that mean that big giants like google and facebook can shape the average user? Yeah, this is an interesting question because We've had all kinds of location sharing services find my iphone latitude etc etc And they just keep coming back because it's a thing people want to do And yet it's got privacy implications and I don't know if this I don't know if it's an indication Of acceptance that your location is another asset of personal information But I also don't hear. I think alina's right. I don't hear as many people Concerned about the terms under which your location is shared and does is it also shared with facebook slash google whoever? Uh, and do they get to keep that etc etc? Well those apps, you know, they're always asking for permissions So in some cases I think that that that they do the question is will they ever get to the point? Or tom will be at the mall and it knows where in the mall you are and will nudge you towards Victoria's secret because well, yeah, it can already do that with beacon and things like that, right? It's the question is is it going if I've turned off beacon and say don't share with my location But then I use facebook to share my location to suddenly facebook start doing that because I shared my location with scott Yeah, yeah, so that's pretty interesting. By the way total aside here Have you do you ever go to a victoria secret without your wife? No me either. I can't because she also doesn't go there either Well, my wife not really either, but if I've ever been in it's always with her and the reason I can't is It's creepy if you're just a dude in there. So this is a small PSA that has nothing on it man You got no there did no shame Everybody, uh, listen to the recent we have concerns on a similar topic. All right, just just go don't it's all good No, I don't go there because she doesn't go there either Hey everybody, thank you for being with us and thank you scott johnson Of course lots of things going on at frog pants network.

See you then That was that was a classic you played in an old school today. Yeah I don't know why it was a last minute decision All good I just saw it sitting there still on my soundboard. I think I uh, our order got out of order on emails because I I have things zoomed in a bit and I oh, that's all right That was fine. Actually that email that you read about neural lace came out of our uh, pick of the day conversation A lot nicer anyway. So yeah, kind of that's weird. That's why it felt normal to me. Yeah. Yeah When I went oh shoot, we missed something. It may not have been on purpose, but it was probably a good thing Don't have to go home. Did you dance in here that guy? Yeah Yeah, title me up Uh more ways to gain weight get it more ways to gain weight. Oh dunk and donuts got it Until chips away at 10 nanometers 10 nanometers.

Sorry Oh Galaxy fans appetite satan Because they've had an appetite for a new galaxy phone. Look at all those leaks It's actually one of the things that that was really odd about this announcement day is I listened to the announcement, but I didn't need to because a almost everything they announced had been leaked and b Lots of traffic in the news Everybody posted Their nda announcement pieces Exactly at 8 a.m. As the announcement began So I just ended up reading all those instead of listening closely because they had all the announcements I'll be honest. I really like that I don't want to have to sit there and wait 90 minutes to make sure I got everything I kind of like that too. Yeah This is fun I think like one more thing is I kind of prefer what you just said I can I can I can listen to the the onstage thing to hear if there's any other nuances and enjoy the celebration or whatever But I don't have to feel like oh come on. I just need to write this piece. Just finish up already to me thing me Me thing me thing Me thing like cows yellow farts. Yeah It's an untapped source of power My words put a hose back there So how do I get more people to review pilot x? Send out Review books to did that Oh No, I'm I'm not talking about those kind of reviews. Although that also is important I'm talking about amazon reviews because apparently if you get a hundred amazon reviews And then it really starts to help The discoverability and I have 63 So we just need 37 more reviews. I don't know. I have no idea on amazon. Is it like People to go and re and review it on amazon is what I'm saying I could create Amazon's hard to hard neatly. Yeah, you got to get legitimate reviews It's there's no there's no gaming the system Um It says beg Donate your book to a to a college Writing class It's an interesting thought Read my book, please or you could do uh, what's his name? James Patterson Send out a fake news rumor that jj abrams is in talks to option it Oh really? That'll do it Oh, uh, wafalophagus asks if I buy it on audible. Can I review it on amazon and have it not be a throwaway review? Yes, you can you sure can You sure can If only there was a diamond club show that was a cult that would do anything you want and that I was on last night Oh, last night. Yeah, I was on night attack last night. Nice Man and yours is a real book their stuff. They got up at number one was a fake book, right? I My family members haven't reviewed it. No, I don't know that they will Maybe when you cross Borders you just have a bunch of those books with you and they ask you what's in the duffel bag books Would you like a copy? Will that get them to review it though? Uh, you could say like, I don't know there might be something Lude or suggestive, but you'll have to read the entire book All right. All right, there's no bad ideas spring story Some guys You must read this book and Determine whether or not this american is allowed in our country I also don't want to be sitting there at the border waiting for them to finish reading it before I'm allowed in Don't you have any faster readers? It's not that long of a book Oh, I know peds is like no gaming the system tell that to blah blah blah. Yes, you can Absolutely game the system. But if you get caught they punish your author, which some people don't mind if they're not real But I do so Yeah, I don't want to ask him to do that is like asking rain to be dry Well, also patricia harkens bradley is not a real author So when they came to the system to get her up there, uh, there was virtually no, uh, worry of repercussions. Yeah I'm just saying I don't want people to like create a bot or something like that. That's What if I paid people to read it and then review it? I don't know. I think just don't tell tom You'll be fine amazon started cracking down on that lately, too Did they but really as long as you've actually read it That's that's all that matters if you buy it through amazon, they don't make you do the quiz But if you haven't bought it through amazon, they actually give you a quiz now Oh, wait, who comes up with the quiz? I don't know You know, I mean that means that person that has had has to have read I don't know if it's a person or if it's just a bot That that knows like How to ask the right things I am a bot programmed in self-awareness and context And subtext go to a harm in town taping and storm the stage beep boop beep People people I do not understand subtext. I was not programmed to game the system I have no omissions to tweak Well, I guess I'll limit it to having a long conversation on our post show That'll be my approach for now, please review it on amazon if you haven't already it's tricky Spam company at russian, but like oh no, but that's a way to get banned because if you get caught Yeah, we put it on torrent site. So people think it's ooh, it's a listen. It must be good I don't know think shares are like that if it was just my own book. I've already do that I don't think if you buy it on audible you get the quiz waffle off I guess but i'm not 100 sure on that I think because audible zone by amazon you get you get grandfathered over grandfather grandfather Is that my mother on the phone? Okie-dokie, I am done with the edits and we are published and we are off To enjoy samsung day have the safest day everyone gather around the samsung tree and And throw out an old gold star television. Yeah, top it with a bixby and trim it with us pens
