 All right, that's all right, I better stop singing. I'm going to take down notice Because I'm so good at singing that they'll think it's the actual recording. It was just It was just that good. Oh, did you hear about the the British American accent detector that trains an AI? Aaron no On the show yesterday. It's my accent dot Cambridge consultants calm Just it's fun to try to fool. Yeah. Oh, that's really huh. I love accents. What should be should be fun Well, the coolest thing about it is that you no matter whether you're trying to fool it or not It will tell you what words were more American or more British with a little word Not word cloud. It's just the sentence that tells you to speak but it'll turn them Blue if they're British sounding or red if they're American sounding and leave them gray if they're neutral And it's like a darker blue the more British and darker red the more American Oh, cool. That kind of reminds me of like the new york times is a dialect quiz. Have you ever Actually brought that up the other day again, I mean, I love that thing because it's so creepily accurate It's so accurate I agree um speaking of the Cambridge test uh Email just came in from Andrew who is originally from the uk but lives in montreal now and he said After 30 years in canada. I'm still holding 64 british All right, all right Not just canada but kebek. So he could have had some french influence too. True throwing everything out. Yeah I was able to fool it into calling me 99 british So I think it's broken No, it just means you're really really good at accent or i'm secretly british We uh, that's like, uh, what's uh, there's a um indy label called secretly canadian I I've known some secret canadiens where I've like found out they were canadian years after meeting them Years later. I usually I usually find out within the first 12 months like phil allingham. I didn't know he was canadian for about a year Oh, you didn't it's it was interesting. So this is the thing about phil allingham His accent changed while he was at tech tv. Oh, see I remember I remember when I was an intern He would say things like processor um Anything with an oh, it was very obvious and then by the time We all got rolled out of there. He just sounded like you know processors Well, james hamilton was from new zealand, but he didn't sound a bit of it because he had moved when he was eight So he said when he talked to friends back home, he would slip back into a kiwi accent But he was able to just have a regular american accent Didn't he end up being an electrician? I don't know did he secret kiwi It's my band name Your flight of the concords cover band Not even a cover band just my band It's my lord cover band All right. Well, I'm ready to go if you guys are I'm ready Okay, I'll try to press record on the right audio hijack window today So that works here we go Daily tech news show is powered by you. Yeah you to find out more head to daily tech news show dot com slash support This is the daily tech news for friday january 11th 2018 on main january 12th 2018 from dts headquarters in los angeles I'm tom married and from studio feline. I'm sarah lane Very happy to have cnet reporter erin karson back on the show. How's it going erin? It's good. It's a little snowy. Yeah, you guys are expecting snow out there. You're in louisville, right? I am So, uh, that's our weather report for people in louisville. There was snow Whenever we recorded this depending on my listening to it Be careful out there our producer roger chang is here roger got the ces cough Yes, I have um I have a little uh frog in my throat Yeah Well, take good care of it feed it some flies Maybe it'll go away. Let's start with a few tech things you should know Intel said thursday that patches for the specter vulnerability may cause reboot problems for computers using broadwell and haswell processors Intel is working directly with data center customers on the issue and may require a revised firmware update Yes, and if you're an amd user thinking glad I don't have that headache Well, amd will deploy a patch for specter variant two for ryzen and epic processors this week Firmware for older chips will follow amd maintains its chip architecture makes it very difficult to use the specter x plate But is patching it to be safe. It says it's not vulnerable to meltdown at all But um specter maybe amd has also released a patch for variant one of specter So you might be on the lookout for that too if you use amd Well, but there's more google announced it rolled out fixes for meltdown and specter variant one in september for google services Like gmail and google drive and didn't get complaints about performance Degregation the patch for specter variant two was more challenging though deployed in december again without complaints Well, I'm good for them and skype is adding a feature called private conversations That uses the signal protocol to provide end-to-end encryption skype insiders can try the feature as a beta test by selecting a new private conversation It doesn't yet support video Yeah, am I the only one who's really surprised that skype did not already support end-to-end encryption Well, it used to be very secure back before I got bought by Microsoft and then they got rid of the centralization. And so this is kind of uh, Bringing it back into the security circle Well, congrats skype. Yep. Good job. We're secure again now. Here are some more top stories. What do we got? Facebook CEO mark zuckerberg posted on facebook that he has changed the goal of product teams to focus on meaningful social interactions Instead of relevant content Facebook will now emphasize posts that start conversations as well as post from friends and family VP of news feed adam masseri told tech crunch that he expects This will reduce distribution for publishers and overall time spent on facebook, but the company feels It's the right thing to do I find this fascinating because I don't I my reaction to this is if they mean everything they say They're hurting their own business In order to make the product better for us Because a facebook that isn't just filled with a bunch of news posts sounds very attractive to me The one thing I do like about facebook. I don't use it very often But when I do use it the reason I use it is to talk to my friends and family, right? It's also it follows mark zuckerberg's somewhat vague But you know, this is sort of the next step of his new year's resolution to kind of make facebook better for everybody Considering that so many people had found that it had become problematic as far as news information and sharing went I also thought there was a post on motherboard, which is a vice property Somebody who works there who was saying this is going to hurt us really bad because we were getting, you know a lot of views for stuff that we were sharing on facebook both video and Written posts, but it's better for us because nobody ever really understood what was going on with facebook's algorithm Anyway, and you were sort of at the mercy of this big big big company who could kind of do whatever they wanted And if we just deemphasize trying to make it on facebook You kind of go back to your you know editorial routes Which having worked at companies that depended a lot on on facebook for views without really knowing How we got them or why you know a certain video in particular did better than another I can see where this is It's problematic for views in the short term but a bit of a relief for uh, you know kind of freeing yourself from the facebook machine I think it also kind of plays into this big question that everyone likes to ask Which is like what is facebook exactly? Is that a media company? They say not maybe this provides a little bit more Clarity as to where they're going Yeah, my concern about facebook Over the past couple years is they were trying to be the platform for everything And and and media companies and newspapers and news outlets Focusing on facebook to the detriment of their main product because they were chasing those views and it did not like that trend This seems to be facebook saying yeah, we don't want to be that we just want to be the place that helps people talk to each other And what makes people talk to each other is what should surface up in the news feed So hey guys, why don't you just create good stories that people want to talk about versus going after clicks You know facebook also is in the business of making money. So when it says things like we just want our You know billions and billions of customers to be happy or overall I kind of go like Or maybe all of those publisher posts were mucking up Uh the timeline in a way that you felt was actually You know decreasing people wanting to engage I don't think that any any facebook decision is made because mark zuckerrick feels that we should all you know Just kind of be happier in general That's the other shoe dropping for what I was saying at the beginning Like I want to believe what that what they're saying And and what they're saying are all the right things like you know what I mean It is very unusual for a company to come out and say we're going to make this change And yeah, it's going to reduce traffic to our publisher and partners Uh, it's going to reduce the amount of time spent on facebook. They're taking a stock hit because of it So so it's not the smart move as far as publicity goes, but I'm like Underneath there's got to be a win for you or you wouldn't be doing this Or it could be the first step of saying, oh, you know because you all miss your news Publish your news so much. We're going to create a new tab that maybe they had already been well And they created a tab for locals. So yeah, there's kind of a precedent there isn't there What are we going to say erin? Yeah, you know, I was going to say I think the other thing is there's um There's always a line between what a company says that it wants to do and what sort of the reality is I mean, it's uh, it's such an ecosystem Between facebook and publishers and whatnot. Like it's it's never going to be as easy as just saying Happier Well, if you've got a speculation of what you think Could be the other motivation behind this email us feedback at daily technician.com Google's duo has added the ability to make calls to people who have not installed duo They do have to have android and not every android contact is going to show up as contactable because There's a few other criteria apparently that need to be met But the system uses android's app preview messaging feature which creates a temporary version of the app to deliver the message So so they'll get the interface and they'll get the message and they'll get a prompt to install duo if they want But they won't have to have had it installed Do we think this could help drive adoption of duo at least among android users? Do they need duo to read the message? No You could that's the whole point has had to go ahead and make calls. So what's the incentive? I mean if you've even saw it even saw it It's like I want to call you sarah. I've got duo, but you don't I but you're on android I can call you and it'll pop up on android And say like hey somebody from duo is calling you we have our call and then when it's done It'll be like hey, you don't have duo. Would you like to install it? So it'll be easier next time But what if sarah's just like i'm i'm good because the call came through Yeah, I mean she doesn't have to you're right Well, I mean it's it's is why is it not just baked it to android You know what I mean? Well, what because what is the what's the purpose of having the app if it isn't really necessary in order to communicate? Well, because you don't get contact management. No, you know, you don't get all of the the the bells and whistles. It's it's a very limited Version of it. You can't make a call yourself unless you install it. You can only you would only receive the call It only works for me if I have duo and I want to call somebody who doesn't it doesn't work for you If you don't have duo and want to call somebody with duo not selling you I mean it's it's interesting. It seems like um Some kind of small step towards that broader challenge of how do you get everybody on the same Communication tool, you know, because it's always a hurdle like even if there's something out there that you really like and you want to use You have to pitch all your friends on downloading it too or you know, whatever is the case and that's a We there's a graveyard of of apps out there because of that problem do or do not GM is showing its production at ready fourth generation cruise autonomous vehicle Which has no brakes no gas pedals no steering wheel, but it can open and close its doors automatically Cruise is submitting a petition to the u.s national highway and traffic safety administration to deploy up to 2,600 of the vehicles next year in 2019 GM wants to start offering a commercial service using these cars Now if you go into the press release and read the articles about it They have a lot about safety in there. So we're skipping past that because we assume our audience knows like They're gonna they're gonna really double down on the airbags and then the safety things and the ability to call in an emergency and all of that This is an aggressive timeline for having something hit the streets And there is a lot of controversy over whether the u.s government should be allowing These things to hit the streets as fast as they have been and GM's really Trying to accelerate the process pun intended Aaron What are your feelings about uh the autonomous vehicle ramp up and the fact that so many of these companies are like trying to get this all happening You know this time next year. Yeah, I you know, I think when I read that 2018 date You just have this moment like oh shoot like that's that's this year. It's kind of you know, um quick I I think with any decision any technology anything that has the potential to dramatically impact people's lives. I'm I'm kind of more okay with uh, they're being a little bit more time to Test things out and just you know It's a death machine on the road Right. Yeah. So um, and and I would like to think that they know that because there's huge liability here. So I I'm gonna have to see Yeah, I I think they do know that and I I think they are confident that they won't be just a death machine as he put it I I am The idea of taking away the brakes and and the steering wheel is what really shocks me about this because I have felt then you can't have a human in there Well, I'm fine But I feel like what google and uber and wemo and and uh all of these companies have been doing and I know google and Weibo are the same thing Uh is we'll leave the steering wheel in there for now because it makes people feel comfortable Even if it's not needed we'll wait until everybody's really comfortable with it and then we'll pull it out and gm's like Why we don't need it. This is safe enough. We can prove it Like a security blanket Yeah, exactly. So 2019 wow We'll see uh remind us folks in 2019 to check in and see if gm's doing this A pop music group from japan called kasosuka shoujo consists of eight singers Each representing a different cryptocurrency Each singer wears a lucha libre mask Representing their currency their debut single is called the moon and virtual currencies and me It's like uh insane clown posse meets spice girls Because of the mass yeah And because of the personalities. Yeah If you were to represent a cryptocurrency, which one I choose ethereum High class. That's what I am. Yeah, I'm dogecoin for sure That's what I was gonna say time. I was like, of course, gotta be dogecoin. Yeah, no, you can be dogecoin too We'll have multiples in our don't forget kodak coin new and hot Right. Nobody wants to be bitcoin though. That's like, I don't know But it's bitcoin cash. It's still very cool. Yeah, bitcoin cash has some cash a But being bitcoin is like being stay-at-home spice like it's just old Is that why we never saw her She stayed at home. She never went out on tour Hardest job in the world though guys hardest job I mean japan's really bitcoin friendly So I guess this makes sense because everything that's popular in japan becomes a pop group So I shouldn't be surprised at this. I just I actually kind of like the song too You you you you said before the show. I like the song. It's not bad. It's not bad. Yeah A report from medicine research and npr estimates that 30 million people in the us now own a smart speaker Which is up 128 percent from january of last year that ends up to being One in six people 11 percent of which own an amazon echo 4 percent of those own a google home 7 percent say they got a smart speaker over the holidays 64 percent who bought uh one plan to use it for smart home functions 66 want it for entertainment And 30 percent said and this is kind of an interesting stat. It's replacing their time spent watching television 40 40 percent of uh folks polled said that they're they've started using voice assistance on their phone more Since getting the smart speaker This is uh, this okay. This is really interesting because CES was set up and I think it turned out to be true as the battle between amazon and google assistant Uh to to take over the the smart voice assistant space not just smart speakers Uh, but this bears out that that is a good strategy for both because it sounds like This is What people are getting into they are buying this and in fact stacey higginbotham in her iot newsletter pointed out that The battle for smart homes is now which voice assistant do you want? People are not picking based on smart things or zigbee or anything like that They're saying what works with amazon or what works with google assistant? And that's that's how they're getting into this. I mean erin you were kind of getting a bird's eye view of ces Uh covering it from afar Do you think google assistant or amazon gained an edge over the course of the show? You know not that not that I saw because it it just felt like um You know really everywhere you looked it felt like there was integration with voice assistants and and you also find you know products that Offered both like I sort of like randomly um covered via panasonic Press conference on Monday or Tuesday night or something like that and they had a few things that they were talking about that You know, they were going to be working with Both so I mean it feels pretty neck and neck right now Yeah, I Go ahead sir. Oh, I was just saying in uh, I was going to say in the pre show We were kind of talking about like You know, why would a voice assistant replace television? But if you're used to watching a let's say half hour news broadcast that in that 30 minutes You know, you're going to get like traffic and weather and kind of top news and just things that you can ask Uh an AI assistant it does make sense that you might be less inclined to turn on the news But at the same time it's like if you have access to the internet all that stuff could be looked up as well And has you've been able to do that for quite some time. So It's really just It's like this human behavior thing that I think is more interesting It's not so much that this information wasn't available, you know to to you know talk to a speaker or whatever You know in your room before But it's like what is sticking as something that is habit for me It's the format right when I have to go look it up on the internet I have to do something to get it whereas if I'm like I'll just turn on the tv and when it shows up I'll hear it or I can just say tell me the weather and it tells me Those are three different scenarios and the easiest one is just tell me now I don't have to do anything else and I have to go type anything in or find anything just tell me Well, you know something I was thinking of is I have a little echo dot in my room And I think that the way that I use it in the morning Which is primarily to hear the news that happened overnight is the same way that maybe five ten years ago I would have had a morning show on in the background when I got ready Yeah, absolutely I I think google won the pr war at ces if for no other reason than they you know They wrapped the mono rail And they had a huge tent Yeah, and they had a slide and they were giving away google homes and uh all kinds of stuff So I I think they may have gained the mind share, but amazon had plenty of announcements I was forgetting about them till I was kind of going back and looking over the coverage Over the past four days. I'm like, oh right day one We were talking about amazon being in tv's and and being in windows computers I think that kind of got lost in the shuffle and that's a big deal A lot of people are pitching that as like a bad thing for microsoft But microsoft and amazon are cooperating on this It's microsoft once cortana to work with a lax Uh, uh, so yeah, I mean, I I think that's a smart move by microsoft and that could pay pay off big for amazon We'll see if the momentum that google picked up during ces will continue If we say backwards, are we okay, xela xela, maybe yeah Somebody sent me a somebody sent me a note that there's a uh if you change the the kilohertz of your audio file Apparently it doesn't set it off and that's how amazon's able to have their commercials not set it off anymore But i'm like, I don't know if I want to like go edit the kilohertz It's a lot to go through Yeah Hey folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines You can get it as an amazon echo flash briefing or on the google home or in the anchor app So you can say something to syria about it, maybe And as a good old-fashioned podcast that you just put in your podcatcher You can find that at daily tech headlines Dot com and that is a look at our top stories So erin we were talking about the fact that you had been covering ces extensively but from afar, um, which is always a It's an interesting way to do it but but pretty productive And we decided to on the on the conversation of ai get a little bit deeper into the idea of Why companies make certain basically smart speakers? To be robots that are cute and have eyes and are sort of skeu morphic I guess for lack of a better word or remind us of humans somehow And you know, there are quite a few of them I mean obviously the ibo which we covered the uh, the chloe as well the araless blue frogs, buddy misty And the list goes on in fact, uh, roger had a great story about in the hotel that tom and roger and i were staying in There was a there was a robot the hotel robot was like delivering toilet paper on demand and actually did so effectively um But that robot kind of had a face too and and and said things and made you feel like It was alive in there So I guess the question to kick us off erin is how effective do you think these are the gimmicks? Is it you know, is that for children? What is the psychological component of having a robot? That somehow makes you warm and fuzzy sure. So this this starts with babies, you know So for humans, obviously we are you know, one of the The creatures that kind of take like the longest to mature right where it's a very long time until we're like completely functional And um, there have been a lot of you know, study is a research and whatnot that talk about why our babies are cute big eyes big foreheads cheeks Like round squishy, you know And part of that is just to inspire this instinct to To uh want to protect it and want to you know, take care of it and whatnot And so I think that you know for a lot of these companies They're very aware of the fact that if they're trying to Create a product that could potentially live with you and be non intimidating and not you know Inspired distrust anything like that. They kind of have to go a similar route and And create something that connects with us on like a human psychological level So in other words make them cute so we won't be afraid of them taking over and killing us all Basically, yeah, I mean it's kind of all It's about acceptance. You know, um, yeah, and it was funny just before the show I was looking at uh blue frogs website and they're the folks that make buddy who's this like adorable little I don't know that it's even two feet tall um robot with big eyes and a lot of curves and he does he has some like security functions and he can play games and whatnot and um They have a section on their site where they're just talking about why robots Have to be cute You know have to be cute and I wonder you know on the flip side It's like I wonder you know much as you know some people like toys or You know stuffed animals or whatever collectibles and other people don't What who are the people who would say like I don't want a robot in my house. That's like an aesthetic I'm not looking for like I like the google home because you can barely you barely even see that it's there Sure Yeah, I mean I I think it's one of those things that you always find outliers in in these types of situations. Um I think it was yesterday We were kind of there was there was one robot that we were sort of looking at right that the face was almost too childlike Do I want this do I want like a small child trapped in a in a robot in my In my house. I'm not sure And I think probably one of the reasons you know that that they say they have to make them cute is Uh to get over that uncanny valley if you make them look too human We can tell they're not and it's spooky, right? Everybody's like, uh, it's creepy I don't like it whereas if you make them overly cute if they look like a cartoon character You don't have that uncanny valley problem, right? Right. Yeah, and I kind of you know evokes that innocence and that sort of um, you know, uh That you just you you get your guard down when something has just like big eyes And is looking at you sweetly So you stop being skeptical about whether it's going to work you stop being worried that it's you know Gonna gonna have a glitch and do something wrong and your heart just melts and you're like, oh I'm not going to criticize that maybe we need to do this for us Right. Yeah, that was it's funny you say that because I had uh run into something else It was also talking about the way that that impacts our Expectations if something is kind of childlike And and sweet. We're not going to get really angry when it does something wrong um Yeah, so Or you know, I would like to I look forward to the the first company who gives us like a decepticon Type AI robot, you know, like cleanse the floors, but like flashes lights and is sort of like Intimidating and you know kind of like the robots I mean the best way I think to really think about it is it's kind of a user interface, right? That's part of the user interface some people like interfaces that look clean and elegant And not kind of like a bunch of ascii text, you know crammed together with like 1998 circuit You know web gifts and stuff and so it's the dirt By making it manageable I think People would you make it welcoming you want your user interface to be welcoming Yeah, and you won't be yelling at it. So it might understand you better So instead of screaming at the robot to get you like uh an apple or something from the fridge It's like, oh, can you get me an apple like like the way you would with a small child It's like the phenomenon of people saying thanks to amazon echoes or google homes I mean I find myself doing that Oh, yeah, I I was gonna bring that up because I uh was talking about this with my parents a couple weeks ago because they got an echo dot To and we were like it's just so weird at first you ask for the weather It tells you and you want to be like, thank you that that's you don't You're not listening They need to work something in that gives you bonus points for doing that Well, thanks to all those who participate in our subreddit. Don't be mad at me. I'm a cute little tom doll Submit the stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com and facebook.com slash groups Flash daily tech news show When you blink on the mailbags here Tom Uh, okay. Well, let's check the mailbag. We actually have an audio mailbag entry from ryan Who called in with some additional thoughts and what shannon moore's brought up wednesday when we were at ces regarding Uh, algae's roll-up television screen and just roll-up screens in general for people who set up at trade shows and entertainment venues Hey dtns crew ryan here I was listening to wednesday's episode in your conversation about the roll-up tv screens and the possible use cases for them To roll a flight case with tv screens in and out of a venue Is a pretty large object to have to wheel in and out And sometimes we get stuck with venues that have pretty small elevators or elevets Not to mention in many cases the cost of the flight case itself can be at least as much as if not more than the panels that It's carrying inside But if we had a screen that could be rolled up and easily tucked away into a tube case Like i think sarah mentioned a poster case to be shipped ups We could easily get larger screens in and out of venues with a lot less transport space And consolidate load-in trips as well So this is something that I will look forward to watching the release of and I'm be willing to bet that the cost of these units is going to be pretty prohibitive for early adoption But as they become the norm, I have a feeling that we're going to see a lot more of these out in the event space Yeah, it's a good extension On on the idea of how to use them But like you say for events even to be able to afford them, they're gonna have to be probably a little lower We'll see. I mean these these the rollable oled was was a small version at ces before now. It's bigger What do you think two three years? We finally see one that actually goes on sale. Maybe Yeah, something like that, you know, I still feel like, you know, we're kind of simplifying this like Yeah, if you just like put your tv in a poster box and ups it it's like I mean There are cables and things well, I know you're right The LG one was rolled into a base. It wasn't just like just the screen. You have to have the The power Because it's made of glue But it does, you know, at least on the surface seemed like it will be a lot more convenient Now, uh, yesterday, I kind of offhandedly remarked that opera software, uh might be more excited about going into africa than china Because china is a more difficult market to break into and several of you wrote in and pointed out something Tommy was one of them who said in november 2016 the original norwegian owner of opera sold the opera name and web browser business To a chinese consortium under the name golden brick capital private equity fund for 600 million dollars So tommy says it's probably highly okay with the chinese for opera to come in there And and I actually responded to most of you who wrote in and pointed out chinese investors Now are the majority stockholders of a norwegian company. It's still norwegian. It's run by norwegians. It's president is norwegian It's headquartered in oslo. It's it's opera software as it's not opera software in china So even though it's got chinese investors It still has to operate as a foreign company and when you go into china It can become difficult because you have to have data storage from a chinese company in that that stores it locally And you have to agree to the chinese rules About how the chinese firewall works which opera a s even though they have chinese investors own them Is made up of norwegians who are probably not comfortable with that So yes, it was an offhand comment and I didn't go into all of that But but it's a good point that they're owned by a chinese investment organization But that doesn't mean that I mean, yeah, maybe it helps grease some wheels here and there But that doesn't immediately say oh free pass into china for you It's a whole different situation Well as we wrap up our show Let's thank erin karson for being on the show erin so great to have you again until folks where they can keep up with everything That uh that that you have going on as well Sure, so you can always find me on cnet and i'm also on twitter at erin karson excellent And there the cute robots are reigning supreme right on the page of cnet Yeah, I saw that headline and I was like this is perfect.

Do we need baby bots or something like that? Do we want baby be aware the baby bots be where the baby bots? There you go. Oh, isn't that litteration? Yeah When all else fails to iterate I have that tattooed on my forearm That's good advice I have a new editor for the book The novel I'm working on and it's one of those crazy things where my old editor was like two dashes for all hyphens two dashes And I got now. All right, fine. This one's like no, it's the m-dash I'm going through the track changes and I'm like all the dashes are changed back. I'm like if I had known That is always so difficult. I've had to go from Oxford comma to ap style which doesn't take right, you know the the last comma like back I've gone back and forth like too many times. I think currently we we differ to ap style and ntr Does oxford commas and so I just never know what's going on anymore I was I was raised in ap style and then Uh, the anti guest the managing editor of tech tv.com insisted on him being chicago Oh, it was just like So then I had to like get used to that Then we switched back to ap or we switched to ap I think it was ap at sea net when I was there, but they might have switched to Yeah, I think yeah, I think we're mostly Mostly I think like maybe everyone's you know, I mean everybody has like the the four things that they do That's like house style or or something, but uh Yeah, it's it's it's just so hard to to go back and forth Because I think uh In school an elementary school. I think I had learned oxford Oh, yeah commas and my dad was very like anti It's also journalism Back in the day, so it's just one of these days. I'm just gonna pick one and never go back totally Well, that was interesting Uh, oh there it is. Okay good I had almost uh for a temporarily misplaced the the file of the show But I I found it Where did it go? I accidentally reordered the finder window And so it wasn't where I was expecting it to be because I'd usually have it by date And I'm like, uh, where'd it go? It was alphabetical Um, there are um Times in os 10 where I'm like I saved something and it's like It should be you know, it's usually like downloads or you know iCloud or you know There's like only so many places it would be and I really have to go hunting for where that file got saved Uh, yeah, and like reordering like date created Where is it? It's here somewhere. It was spotlight search and desperation Yeah Seems like it's harder than it used to be and people always make fun of me for like saving everything to the desktop But I'm like, but you know what? I know where I get there. Guess what? I know where it is now It's a place that I go to find my files I remember when I decided I was going to use the my documents folder for the first time in windows 95 Because when I first got windows 95, I'm like, you can't tell me where to put my files Microsoft gravel Well, that's 25. I was uh, yeah a little more idealistic um, but yeah, uh I started using my documents. I'm like, wow, this is it's pretty nice when I know where all my files are always Same place I moved my my documents folder to a drive. So anything ever blows up. I just pull out the one drip You back it up too though, right Yes I should back up. I haven't backed up since uh, thanksgiving I now have vampire weekend stuck in my head because we've mentioned the oxford comma Ha ha. Yes Do they have a song called oxford comers and then? Yes Vampire weekend, uh, because they had um the very popular album that they had like 10 years ago One of the songs like starts with the letter a And so when you How do I explain that? It's like when you plug in your iPhone your car or whatever and and and it goes like We don't know what you want, but just like we'll just play something in itunes like Alphabetically it always started with that song to the playwright. I have to like a punk Weakened from all of my things they go I mean a punk Yeah, right. Yeah Thing we're like I plug my phone into a rental car or something and it's all of a sudden it's it's always playing a punk And and and the song is like it's not a bad song, but you can't hear it too many times or you just want to You want to go hibernate from Is one of those bands that should be listened with um Frequent uh other songs in between like If I ever listen to this it's just it's too cutesy for me. It's just it's it's like too much. It's like too much cool whip Too much too much pep I was thinking about them the other day because I was like I don't I feel like I haven't heard anything from them in a while They're vampires Yeah, they're not just for weekends anymore Well, this is weird Did you find your file? Well, I was looking to see if I still had vampire weekend on this phone Uh, and I don't Have that album with a punk Uh, I also don't have Uh, you know, it's only showing me the iCloud versions for some reason I have the one with orchata and holiday and taxicab Yeah, I think that was their second one. There was a which I I didn't never listen to nearly as much as the first one Yeah, but I don't know why the first one isn't in here Which is the one I actually had except that maybe I bought that on cd and that's why it's not in the iCloud But should be an itunes match anyway Careful careful careful careful I gave it the five seconds They content ID doesn't even care though. I'm worried about the japanese Worried about the japanese pop song I played in the show, but at least that had news Okay, I could fairly I mean, I guess we're doing commentary on that not to have but Yeah content ID is vicious. It doesn't care. It'll get you on white noise Uh, it actually flagged the round table that uh that amber And uh any were on for some reason I don't know. I just said please have someone look at this manually And that was approved Yeah, we get demonetized all the time Like hmm this this show uh has racy content. I'm like no it doesn't No, it's what your bot thinks but there's no racy content here Too much women too much women It's not based on who's on the show either. It just happens Actually, we should try that and we should do a little control Have nothing but guys And well, I think we I think we don't have to do it. I think we've probably got examples I think most dudes Um No, we're just off monday for mok. Oh, yeah, don't forget No show monday um Yeah Anything other any final words before I stop the stream for this week Hope everybody has real nice weekend Yay Yeah, even if you're uh, not getting martin luther king off or or you're not in the united states Uh, take some time off monday on us.
