 Amazon I used to be a fan of Whole Foods then I realized they really do overcharge you for everything Except for the except for the stuff they make in house. Yeah, the in-house stuff is pretty good There's a few other things here and there that they their butcher their their butcher department's pretty good, too Yeah, but like a lot of them a lot of the dry package stuff and it's overpriced a Lot of the a lot of the brands like the organic brands healthy brands They they they jack up the price because they know people like just want that brand Know the convenience of not having to shop around for it So well like I get I eat these cherry tablets for my gout and they want like 35 bucks So are they tablets of cherry or they cherry flavored tablets? No, no, they're basically I guess what they're what they are dehydrated and powdered Cherries that they can press into a little circular tablet But you can't just eat cherries you can but the idea is because this is concentrated Yeah, because you would need I would need to eat like three bags of cherries like wow So I just a little easier to swallow the pill and I guess yeah, it's like a Flintstone tablet you chew it But they want like 35 something no $39 in the store and it's like 20 something on Amazon Well, this is like when I was buying the prescription medicine for Django And it was $100 from the place in San Rafael and then my vet found out that you could get it from Walmart for $9 That's my my wife had just found out like there's a bunch of Prescription she has filled out. It's like wait a minute. I can get everything I used to get for like 50 bucks a month Instead of what I was what she is paying which is over a hundred What kind of dog food do you feed your dogs Tom? We feed them Zignature brand signature Yeah blend Everything is Django related It's the only food that Django could stomach at the end of her life So here first I kept feeding it because we had it and it's like okay. Well, so you're can eat it So I can eat anything and then when we got Ray I was like well I should probably shift to something more, you know suited to a young shepherd and I started looking around and then I Realized wait. I'm three bags away from getting a free bag of the signature Loyalty card, so I guess what Ray? signature for another three bags lady So you ordered that through Whole Foods had it delivered Now I get it at the the dog bakery dog what they bake dogs Or I get a free bag The dog food that we guys was taste of the wild which was like some kind of fancy Yeah, we used to use that actually that is the Kirkland brand of dog food is the same thing Yeah A lot of house brands that you find at supermarkets that were made by the same companies to make the branded stuff But because of whatever deal, you know, it's interesting because Shane says Ray has no idea the complex politics that determined her meal Every time I see dog food, I think of one of two things I'm hungry road warrior because it's a can of alpoh and No, mad at Rover warrior because it's a can of alpoh, but also a cookie Chris Because cookie Chris parent company was like Purina or Ralston. That was Ralston Virida. That's like, oh wait Don't they make dog food? Yeah, it's not good. All right ladies and gentlemen Shall we have control? You do have control? All right, gonna hide here We Yeah The Daily Tech news show is brought to you by its global listener base not outside organizations to find out how you can contribute Go to Daily Tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Friday, June 16th 2017 I'm Tom Merritt joining me today. Ms. Megan Maroney host of tech news today and iOS today and Producer at twit.tv. How's it going Megan? It is going well. I always love to join you on the Daily Tech news show It's nice to do that this and then do it again I was gonna say I always feel bad having other show because then you have to go do it all over again later in the day Well, I get I get you know, this is just a trial run, but I'm gonna do my best I mean I saw Sawyer you posted a video of Sawyer You were asking him some questions about Amazon and he had I got I mean I like your dogs But I gotta say his answers were a little dull. So I'm gonna step it up a little bit. All right Yeah, if you can outdo my dogs vocalist answers. I think we'll all be doing well Yeah, we are gonna talk about Amazon again. I apologize We talked about Amazon possibly buying slack yesterday and then they went and bought Whole Foods Well, they bought it but they're in the process of actually buying Whole Foods not a rumor so and and I have Shopped at the original Whole Foods in Austin back in the 90s Megan. You worked at a Whole Foods. Was that your first job? That was my first job in high school. I was a junior. I think in high school. I worked at the meat department At Whole Foods. I'm now a pescetarian mostly vegetarian I wouldn't say the two are They're totally related Yeah, I was it was just it was a good job also because it got me ready for work It was just three guys and me so it got me ready for my future jobs Which is usually three guys three guys in here. Yeah, wherever I am working We both have shopped on Amazon. So we're uniquely qualified to discuss the story today Let's start off with a few tech things you should know about them Chinese scientists have successfully tested quantum entanglement with two photons 1200 kilometers apart It's a new record They have a special satellite to do this so that they can use the vacuum of space for part of it And then split a beam and send it to two locations in Tibet findings were published Thursday in the journal Science now, I know this is the quick hits part of the show Megan, but any questions you have on quantum science Quantum entanglement is that kind of how like we worked together in 2000 and now we're still doing shows together Is that the same sort of thing? Yes? Okay, so you have master in quantum mechanics. I someone's under an honorary physics degree. Thank you I'm pretty sure that's it Microsoft general manager for surface Ryan Gavin told business insider that Apple is imitating Microsoft with the iPad He said when surface initially launched that he didn't say like that He said when surface initially launched everyone was skeptical including them and then they followed in the iPad Pro as a clear example of that Megan is there any substance to this quote I don't think so. I have been using Surface and the and the iPad Pro and I got to say I I've gotten a chance I stole Leo's 10.5 iPad Pro that he Ordered for himself, but he's on vacation. So I took it and it's still a lot easier to use Then then the surface book is but yeah, I don't I don't I don't know what they're talking about They everybody copies everyone, right? Yeah, and Samsung's frame TV meant to look like a 55 or 65 inch frame picture on your wall goes on sale June 18th for a thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars or two thousand seven hundred ninety nine dollars respectively. I Want it Put it on your wall. It's a lot of money for just looking like a frame Yeah, you could take an LG and put it in a frame It would still be more expensive than that actually say I guess that's not that bad All right before we get to the top stories don't forget Len Peralta is here illustrating the episode For us welcome back Len. How was your how was your big trip in New York? Oh was excellent It was it was a lot of fun and I want to go back and but I'm really glad to be here on Hat Friday, of course Which is which we should mention is probably gonna be listeners are missing out We all have hats on yeah, and my hat we can't see it right now But my hat was it's pretty pretty dang cool. Yeah, it's it no if you haven't seen it yet It's worth going to the YouTube channel or get in the video podcast take a look I think I don't between Megan and Len for best hat today. I'll be honest. I Think I'm gonna give that to the two to make you're very gracious Well, I'm wearing the hat. I'm wearing mom. I'm also wearing in my Twitter Profile so if you have to listen and you can't watch You can just go to Twitter I'm wearing a Greenville Senators hat Which was a summer league baseball team for the high school level players in Greenville, Illinois that I picked up in the mid 2000s fact my friend marks are gonna even retweeted a picture of me from the official Comets account All right here are some top stories Apple has hired Sony TV joint presidents Jamie Ehrlich and Zach van Amberg the two men have helped bring about a few shows in Their time at Sony and breaking bad the shield justified shark tank the mentalist To name but if the crown which is you know a Netflix show So they'll report to eddy queue and hopefully shepherd some more hits for Apple, I guess More more hits does Apple have a hit with Planet of the apps. Yeah Hits just drop more out of that Yeah, more hits they have hits they bring their hits to Apple. Yeah bring some hits No, I mean, this is a this is bringing in big guns, right? This is Apple saying we are not kidding around Planet of the apps is just an experiment We intend to bring some high quality stuff and of course they've got the documentary coming from Dre and You know, they they've been doing a lot of good music stuff lately But this would imply they're gonna get into scripted television. It seems It's exciting. I mean, you know, there was news earlier this week that Netflix has more subscribers than cable Or you know without satellite. Yeah, don't add satellite. Yeah, and and obviously that's because of the originals and the originals have been really successful I really enjoy them and it's just a whole new it's really disrupting the way media works really being able to say I don't you know, it doesn't matter how much You watch this show or that show it's really just as long as you subscribe then we get the money So it gives creators more freedom. So I would hope that there would be more creative content out there Yeah, in fact, I'm gonna move what was actually gonna be later down in the lineup up earlier the lip-syncing social video app Musical.ly Musical.ly released its first original content to run alongside user creative videos after signing deals with Viacom NBC Universal and Hearst the content is designed to be interactive encouraging viewers to send in their own Responsives two to four minute episodes air weekly from MTV E and 17. They're free without ads Not monetizing it in any way we can see at least yet shows will be featured in Musical.ly's trending section for 24 hours So I feel like this is beyond like can online companies replace cable This is video and original content have become an adjunct for your service Whether your Facebook or Snapchat or Musical.ly Yeah, I mean Musical.ly is this sort of secret thing that most adults don't really know about My my boys don't use it very much My daughter does a lot of like it's like the pre Instagram and Or pre-snapchat as well. And you know, that's what snapchat does too They have their own original content and I think that's sort of what they're following Musical.ly was one of the first apps that a lot of kids use that did Live-streaming automatically and now of course Instagram has live streaming too. I'm sure they saw how popular Musical.ly was doing that and it's it is a really weird way I'm glad they're going into original content because if you see kids growing up with this sort of One-sided communication. It's very weird because you have the kids just constantly performing for each other That's what Musical.ly is. It's not a conversation. It's like hey, I'm gonna lip-sync this song or hey I'm just gonna live stream myself talking and You know, you're gonna watch it's it's odd because we know when back in our day We had nothing like that. I mean we could like put on plays for each other occasionally But it's not the same as like live-streaming yourself or showing off all your, you know Musical talent and a nap constantly to your friends and I think the idea that these User-made services like snapchat and musically are also getting high quality brands to put Tailor-made content, you know two to four minutes in this case. They're not asking for 30-minute shows Possibly points to a future where we are not going to see the model of Networks provide us shows that we sit down on our couch and watch that'll be one way you sometimes watch certain things But I think the continuum is is going to become a little messier From from movies to television shows to snapchat to YouTube to twitch. I mean we I don't think Kids growing up now are going to think of television the way we do Mm-hmm, and that's what these places like snapchat musically. We really want they want lean back content, right? Instead of lean in like that because that means that is the moment you're leaning back You're gonna stick around watch more ads, you know, it's gonna be sticky So they they really want that they want they want rocking Content because they want you to lean back and watch the NBC stuff then lean in and send an interactive video in With your friends and see their stuff like they just want to keep it going back and forth, right? I want to keep it rocking as well. Yeah, essentially Let's that's a little too much for my old brain. So let's talk about keyboards Microsoft unveiled the modern keyboard That's what they call it the modern keyboard, which integrates a fingerprint reader on the right-hand Windows key Bluetooth 4.0 keyboard can operate wired or wireless features a chicklet style keys I don't like to check let's style keys, but that's all the rage these days Compatible with Mac OS iOS Android and of course Windows and one the nice thing is you plug it in When you first get it and it automatically pairs So it makes it really simple to pair up with your devices modern keyboard would be available this quarter for 130 bucks There's also a Bluetooth 4.0 modern mouse that runs off three triple-a batteries for $50 And I got to say between Logitech and Microsoft that has been my Input device go to I have a Logitech K 120 right here in front of me I love Logitech mice for wireless, but this Microsoft mouse is is it that I've got is Perfect, it just does everything I need to do. So I'm curious about these for $130 like that That seems like a lot for a keyboard. It's a wireless my wireless keyboard, right? And it's got chicklets, which everybody loves. Yeah Is it chicklet like the smart keyboard on that all the keyboards are now yeah Yeah on the MacBook Pro now as a chicklet style surface has a chicklet style. It's what's the non-chiclet style like that That's when you actually have the keys like next to me. I can't lift this one up Part of you have the keys next to each other rather than separated Uh, that's non-chiclet. That looks so old-fashioned. It's great I like it and my quill pen My buggy whips Uh, I have yeah, I don't know. I guess I just I've I just gotten used to the chicklet style and Not thought about it. Yeah, but these are nice. These are nice looking keyboard mice though. Mm-hmm Have you you have you tried the surface laptop yet? Is that something that's not the new one? I haven't tried the new one yet. I do have a surface book or a surface pro myself But yeah, the I guess the Thinking about keyboards. I did windows weekly this week with Mary Jo Foley and she's tried out the the microsoft Uh, the surface laptop with the alcantara, which that seems horrible like that Don't you you have to get a little mini vacuum too and always clean in that and you can't like eat greasy stuff Because you feel like she said it felt like a pool table. I mean it sounds 1970s to me, right? To put carpeting on everything. Yeah So this one doesn't have carpeting on it. Thank goodness as far as I can tell now Uh, Canada's radio television and telecommunications commission the crtc has issued an order requiring all carriers in the country to unlock phones for free And sell new phones unlocked Up until now canadians have been paying 50 bucks or more to unlock their devices Generating a total of 37.7 million dollars canadian in 2017 and that's a rise of 75 percent since 2014 So the prices have been shooting up change came after a call for comment during updates to the canadian wireless code of contact a set of consumer transparency principles, so uh Carriers are out some money But you can get your phone unlocked without having to pay for it That's great. I think um, I think this is great. I makes me want to move to canada That the just that just being able to unlock your phone for free because you can buy unlocked phones pretty regularly You don't need to move to canada just to buy unlocked. I know that's not the only reason I want to move to canada, but it's one of the many reasons nice up there And they are so nice and they have some hortons and I like hockey It yes, you can buy unlocked phones But I just think it shows an attitude towards like you said transparency and openness and the consumer It's a consumer attitude and I feel like here there's We're not seeing that as much Yeah well And one of the problems with canada is you you have some some market It's a mere monopoly market conditions when it comes to carriers. There's not a ton of competition Uh, especially regionally whereas in the us We have four national carriers who are duking it out since t-mobile was not allowed to be gobbled up And I don't think this would happen if at and t had been allowed to buy t-mobile And then you have these regional carriers like us cellular and you have all the mvno's So I think it's there's less pressure on us to go in and correct things because of that Yeah, I I also think that in in the us. There's like the average people probably think that they That you can't buy unlock phones or that you can't switch carriers so easily I think that the carriers in the us make it really they never share that fact with you like for example The library of congress has put rules in place about unlocking to to make it easy to get your phone unlocked to so Right exemptions to the dmca and such right, but I mean you just yeah This saw the headlines about uh, andry and and uh, andy rubin's essential phone You know, it's gonna only only be carried by sprint That was the headline you saw and a lot of people like well I'm not gonna get it because I'm not on sprint, you know, but you can get an unlocked version But it's just like there's that weird kind of notion that You know an exclusive like that Yeah, the habit has been to buy it from the carrier because in the past you couldn't get unlocked phones Right, and that's changed right. Well, when I uh January jason howell and I did a switch. He took the my iphone 7 and I took his pixel for a month And I am on sprint I admit someone emailed me recently and said you should stop saying that you're on sprint because it makes you look like You're technically illiterate That's harsh Perfectly legitimate carrier Right in fact, you should be on sprint so you can be one of the people giving the perspective of what it's like to actually be on sprint Instead of just shooting arrows at sprint without actually understanding what their service is like exactly It's fine for me. It's just fine And really I'm just like I don't have the time to sit down and switch the five people in my family over to different carrier, but I guess my my point was sprint was very it was like it was super easy for jason to just switch on t mobile Into the iphone, but it was very it was not easy to to get over. Yeah my his pixel on sprint Well, atari is still a company and it has a ceo and that ceo's name is fred chenay Mr. Chenay if I'm pronouncing your name wrong. I apologize told games beat We're back in the hardware business confirming that atari is working on a new game console called The atari box the console will be based on pc technology But the design is still being worked on chenay bought atari in 2013 after it filed for bankruptcy And he's been busy turning it into a mobile Gaming enterprise and the atari box name may not be official But that's what a leaked video Referred to it as and he has confirmed that in fact. Yeah, we're working on hardware atari game console coming to you That's exciting. I had the 2600. So is it going to be a retro or do we think it's going to idea The design isn't finalized yet. So the the one the leaked video certainly looked retro with the wood paneling and all that But that may not be what it ends up looking like I'm excited to play a little pitfall again Yeah, well, I wonder what it will be will it be a retro thing like through and through where you play pitfall like you say Or will it be retro looking? But play windows games because they say it's going to be based on pc technology So you're not going to be playing monument valley 2 on it or anything Maybe not That's what that's really the only game I play.

Go try it out at anchor.fm And that's a look at our top stories. All right, let's get back into this amazon plan and to acquire whole foods 13.7 billion dollars is what their reporting is going to be paid if this all comes to be That would be amazon's largest acquisition ever. They only paid 970 million just under a billion for twitch So 13.7 times as much money being spent on whole foods Whole foods CEO john mackey said he will continue to run the company. They'll continue to use the whole foods brand They're not going to change the name of the stores. Uh, they will have a headquarters in austin Pretty much everything about whole foods will stay as it is They have around 430 stores and the deal is expected to close in the second half of 2017 Now at the same time People have surfaced a patent that was awarded to amazon on may 30th called physical store online shopping control Which when someone is on the wi-fi at a store I don't know say a whole foods that has wi-fi which they do The store could sense the customer accessing competing sites to do comparison shopping and either block access Block access to competing products redirect to stores own site So when you try to go to the pigley wiggly dot com you'd end up at whole foods dot com They could notify a salesperson to approach the person or even just send them a message Maybe a coupon or something like that now Before we get into the whole foods acquisition entire a lot of people are freaking out about this patent saying Oh, yeah, they're going to buy whole foods and then stop you from comparison shopping Well, first of all, don't use the wi-fi in the store and you can do whatever you want Second of all, don't forget a lot of times amazon will patent things to keep them out of the hands of others and amazon Absolutely wants you to comparison shop when you're in stores with amazon dot com So it would make sense for them to patent something like this to make sure that no other store actually does it to them Yeah, that that patent story seems to not I mean I agree with you. I think the patent story is Sort of a a non-story in terms of what we need to be worried about when we think about amazon buying whole foods I I feel like they're completely disrupting the grocery shopping Industry and I saw a story just about an hour ago about how they're not just buying the company They're buying all these locations and if you think about like the real estate like Whole foods is in upscale places where people are willing, you know to spend $7 for a dozen eggs And you know, it's it's crazy to think that amazon's now They're there whether they're gonna have physical grocery stores there or some other Thing in there that they're gonna sell it's that to me is is Sort of scary even though I'm a regular amazon shopper. Well, it's it's it's valuable real estate, right? It's a it's a good investment perhaps just on that although it's not a bargain at 13.7 billion dollars There's also warehouse space that is meant to deliver two local locations Which can definitely help amazon out logistically amazon is always looking for a logistical edge I don't think either of those are the reason they bought whole foods But they are definitely good side benefits for buying whole foods I don't think amazon is going to change the name of whole foods if you look at goodreads Comixology Yeah, all of those audible They they leave them running at worst on audible You'll see a powered by amazon logo But otherwise audible works like audible and it's been integrated into amazon.com So I would expect that to work that way you will find natural integrations like on goodreads If I'm reading on a kindle and I finish the book it'll ask me Hey, do you want to market complete on goodreads like nice easy integrations? What's the nice easy integration for amazon and whole foods grocery delivery? I would say this is the thing. This is the worst news for is instacart Which is whole foods current partner for delivery. Goodbye instacart. Hello amazon fresh Mm-hmm. Yeah, I mean I I totally agree with that and that was something that surfaced today too I don't think a lot of the average people know that but instacart had promised to compete with amazon and now they Are owned by amazon It just feels like I really feel like there will come a time where we'll just Be buying every single thing from amazon. We won't there won't be any other stores You read you read the washington post which is owned by jeff bezos talking about all of the new amazon services That are coming from amazon and all the amazon stores in all the amazon places But the key is they won't be called amazon because they're keeping all these brand names, right? And and yeah, I think that is one of the things they're going to be able to do is amazon fresh has rolled out very slowly to just a few cities in the us and london and Now they can turn it on suddenly in 430 locations And that gives that gives amazon fresh a huge boost with a distribution network that's already in place Now granted that has to be adapted and that's not as easy as maybe it sounds But but this is going to make amazon fresh A much more pervasive product than it has been till now I mean when you think about big companies, you know, the all the big companies like google or facebook You know and how much data they have and you know, you think about it sort of abstract Okay, well, they have a lot of data about me and they can serve me advertising But when you come when it comes to like the things you're buying every day like milk and you know Toilet paper and all the things that you buy from amazon or perhaps whole foods When you think about the fact that amazon sees people as two kinds of people people that are short on time and have a lot of money and people who Don't have a lot of money but have a lot of time and they are Using all of that data to really focus and sell things to Both of those groups of people so for example, if I just don't have any time and I want to Order toilet paper because I need it in a couple days. I'm just going to ask my amazon echo To order toilet paper and it doesn't let me compare the price of toilet paper I have no idea how much i'm going to get really it'll tell me the price But I won't say you know you can buy it here and it knows because i'm the type of person and probably they know very well that I have No time and it's worth it to me just to say that But and they're also working on the people that spend a lot of time Comparison shopping and they're trying to control them too And I think to me that's a little it might well well our general the way that google or facebook or apple treats our privacy Our private information might be a little scarier if you really dig into it when you think about just how much money is coming out of our wallet every day To have one company really be a monopoly essentially is a little bit scary I Well, I mean amazon isn't a monopoly in the sense of there isn't anybody doing What they do somebody else is doing cloud services Somebody else is doing e-books. Somebody else is doing grocery stores But they are pervasive right? They they are almost a monopoly in online shopping not really but they certainly could abuse their market predominance And I think that's that's that's what you're saying right is that's a it's a lot of predominance in a lot of different areas suddenly and Here's what I thought as you were saying that I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right They could drive prices down in the grocery market and run other grocery stores You mean Whole Foods could become cheap to shop at Right. Yeah I mean, I know it's any competitive But that just kind of blew my mind when you were when you were talking Right. I mean, it's that same sort of thing like when I like a couple years ago I just had this idea that I'm gonna stop Buying things from amazon. I'm gonna stop buying books from them. I'm going to stop buying groceries I'm going to stop just because I feel like they are everywhere I don't like the way that they're treating authors and you know the the publishing company And you know, I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and then I got an amazon echo which I love I just love being able to listen to podcasts and order things and and it just like it was they got me It was like they knew like someone, you know was saying like someone Uh was saying oh, you know in seattle. She we're losing one Let's create the exact thing that this woman needs and that's a device she can put in her kitchen and You know order stuff and recipes and you know all that and so yeah, they just keep drawing you back in and All kinds of different people because I know most people are not like me and don't order toilet paper From their kitchen I think you'd be surprised. I think a lot of people do You know, I I don't I use my amazon echo to create a shopping list Uh and that shopping list I then open when I go to ralph's because ralph's is a whole lot cheaper than whole foods And it has mostly the same stuff at least the one near me does So I will tell the echo to put toilet paper on the shopping list But imagine if suddenly that's integrated with whole foods and it says Hey, would you like that toilet paper to be at your house in an hour? Yeah, just you know, just if you you put it on your shopping list if you want tom But so you know, it'll be you know, it'll be cheaper and it'll be there immediately Um, it's yeah, it's it's it's definitely something to consider and You know, I go back and forth. Sometimes I don't like the predominance of google either Uh for the for the exact same reasons, but If they're the best at what they're doing and they're protecting my privacy properly, uh, you know Then maybe that's okay. And and facebook the same way I I just don't use facebook in the way that i'm worried about them having my data But I won't stop using them I just try to use them responsibly and only for something that they're superior at which pretty much is seeing pictures of my dog at Day doggie daycare. Mm-hmm. That's that is really good It is important. You should share those so I can see pictures of your dogs at doggie daycare I've shared a couple of them. I'll share a few more of those. Yeah Well, I mean amazon now, you know, you can deliver you can order a pizza someone else for now is delivering those pizzas But my first job was as I said earlier before the show was Whole Foods My second job was delivering pizzas And my first job out of college was working at a borders and now amazon has either Bought all of those or made them obsolete and I just keep thinking what's gonna be next They bought pizza delivery. They didn't but I'm sure that they'll that's next That's what you're saying is they drove borders out of business. They bought Whole Foods. They're coming for you dominoes. They are Yeah, next little week. I mean, I'm just on this. I'm sorry. I'm even on this show because probably amazon is gonna take over daily tech news Show somehow.

Chris christensen With the tech in travel minute He's got some hope if you're worried about carrying your laptop on planes This is chris christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute In the continuing saga of whether or not you're going to be allowed to have your laptop SLR camera and tablet with you when you travel internationally out of the united states this summer or in the future Good news has come from washington from the homeland security secretary john kelly That has the hope for bringing an end to lapped apocalypse as i'm calling it And that is that homeland security is planning on laying out a series of steps that airports can do to get themselves off The restriction list including things like enhanced testing for their employees This makes some sense because insiders are suspected as being behind the bombing of a russian airline or flying out of egypt within the last year Let's hope for airport security that makes sense and that actually provides security I'm chris christensen from amateur traveler Thank you chris if you'd like more of what chris has to say about travel check out amateur traveler dot com Message of the day comes from andrew von who wrote in asking if google drive files are encrypted He was thinking about recommending google's backup and sync for his mom But only if the drive files are encrypted by default now I mentioned box cryptor But he says even that's probably too much to expect his mom to want to mess with and I could not find anything definitive stating google drive Files are encrypted. I did find a lot about google cloud My guess is that google drive files are encrypted, but I could not find anywhere on google that said that exactly So can any of you if somebody can find a link that definitively shows? Yeah, those google drive files are encrypted andrew would appreciate it Send it to feedback at daily tech news show dot com And then alan char like many of you believe people who use spaces instead of tabs seem to make more money because large companies Mandate spaces he adds different tools align tabs on a different number of spaces usually four or eight This seems to come from unix, which historically aligned on eight While windows dos and mac historically aligned on four Since the latest mac os has much unix influence. I thought I'd see how tabs align in the brave new world terminal Like the underlying unix based os aligns on eight spaces But xcode aligns on four text edit aligns on six So go figure This is all to say that many experienced programmers like myself prefer spaces because code always aligns correctly Regardless of operating system editor viewer or ide Normally I would I would make room for a response from the tab lovers, but we don't have time Thank you for joining us today.

I can't I can't do a thing with it Uh-huh, and then I invented hat friday I thought maybe you got like a bad haircut or something No, no, it just looked bad and I didn't want to go to the effort that I usually do to try to straighten it out And if you've seen the show before you don't you know, I don't go to a whole lot of effort to begin Well, if you have a hair issue, you should just do what I do go get a haircut and then get it short So you have to deal with it. That's usually what I do it. It's bad and I need to get a haircut, but yeah Yeah, that looks pretty good Look like a crazy old man, Tom Yeah My whole foods order here yet. You just need to have a credible tech news host You just need a newspaper jacket in your set They're gonna shut down all the whole food It's a whole different character Instead of going the hat route, I could have just been an entirely different host.

You're right. Yes. No, no to the right Yeah on our flight back on our flight back from new york city on saturday My son pointed out to me This guy who's like an internet star He's the dentist with really bad hair If you ever look if you look him up. He's like he's like a he's like a meme And it's a just look up dentist with bad hair Isn't he the guy Prosecute for shooting that lion No, no There is more than one dentist with bad hair Oh Yeah, this guy was on our flight. Did you feel like you brushed with uh fame? Did you take a selfie with him? No, I saw the guy get on the plane. I had no idea who it was my son was like Hey, that's that's dentist with a bad haircut. He just got on the plane I'm like, I have no idea who you're talking about but I'm like, yeah, he has a pretty bad haircut I don't know what you mean, but you're right about the hair. It's possibly a dentist. I oh dad You see don't you know, he's he's totally he's so famous. He's very relevant. I see him on musically all the time I Feel like that could be anyone though. I mean Like you could see a guy that looked like that and no this this guy I noticed when you walked on the plane. I'm like that guy's got bad hair If you had a swagger about him about his hair Okay, it's swaggering hair Nobody got swagger like us. What else do you guys talk about after the show? Oh, it's mostly hair Hair we talk, you know, man. That's all we talk about Talk about our domestic lives. Oh Have you seen captain fantastic captain underpants captain fantastic I have captain underpants in the movie draft. That's why it's on my brain. No, I have not seen captain fantastic Oh, you gotta see it. It's free on amazon prime. So, um, unless you've decided to give up amazon This is the doc you this is a documentary No, it's a movie written and directed by matt ross who is looking valley and was in big love And it stars vigo mortensen. Oh, right. It was up for all the awards Yeah, and so I feel like I've seen it because I saw so many clips from it, but I haven't actually watched it It's really good. Really? I'm gonna use this opportunity to recommend it to anyone Right because They raise their kids away from society and then they kind of have to get forced to have to integrate them into society and That is What it that's the plot. Yes. Okay. That's what the trailer promises. Yeah, but it is it's just a really well written Story and well written script and good whether or not you have children. That's good I have to watch this Captain fantastic and I mean if you're a fan of ego mortensen you can just watch it And just say uh aragorn. Yeah, the last movie I watched with uh, vigo mortensen was a real downer was the road Oh I was like, I Why why is this here? It's better as a book because that way you don't have to visualize too Too much into how depressing the world would be for a kid Although for a kid, you know, they wouldn't know any better Yeah, no, I agree with the book was easier to read than watching the movie Roger, maybe you are that kid That kid, wait, are you saying this is the apocalypse? You don't know any better I think that applies to all of us right now We don't know any better. We don't I'm still waiting for the benign Uh Aliens to come down and to gift us with all sorts of amazing technology and wisdom Hmm Although they're more likely just to put up like Like an expressway like in the hitchhiker's guide or perhaps The benign aliens not the metastic ones. Yeah, I like the arrival aliens. That's what I want for my aliens The ones that give you uh to converse with though Well, but once you do you can see through time. Mm-hmm Which is yeah, and then it's really hard to talk to your daughter though No, but you would have to because you could see through time Yeah, you know what honey your your your life is going to be good Spoiler boilers, uh I could see through time that I have 5 battery left on my macbook So, um, I can't I can't decide if I should keep talking or just be like wait till my macbook dies Do you want to let technology control your life or do you want to control your technology's life? Is the thing I just finished publishing the show which is normally when we sign off Okay, now it's become an even bigger question of do we just see how far we can push it? Yeah, this is like that episode of Seinfeld where there's like a zero You actually do the responsible thing and go plug it in and reach it Yeah, I should probably do the responsible thing and also work on my other show although this is fun Well, thank you. Yes. This was fun and thank you everybody for watching. We'll see you on monday. Have a great weekend Bye everybody
