 Now that wouldn't make him CEO. Just make him chairman He just Very good blow-dried hair But yeah, oh also There's a leak Where did this come from was it? Variety trying to find out but apparently Warner media Oh CNN CNN obtained an internal memo from CEO John Stanky of Warner Media That they would launch a streaming package that would be based on HBO But you'd be able to add content from Turner Networks Including CNN as well as Other stuff from the Warner universe like are we talking about quibi? No, no, that's a totally different thing. That is nothing to do with this Is just the name for what's her name Megan Meg Whitman's Co-produced thing we knew we knew about that startup. We just didn't know its name This is a streaming service that would start with HBO and I see it add on Turner You could add on DC movies. You could add on other stuff owned by AT&T Well Warner Media is owned by AT&T so Q4 2019 well Okay We got it. We got a year plus Interesting Uniclo cut 90% of staff at one warehouse by replacing them with robots What says a headline from Quartz Quartz is actually pretty reliable There are robots in disguise They transform I met a dog the other day at the dog park named Optimus Prime He's a big fluffy cloud type of dog and I was like, oh like, you know the transformers and the guy was like No, he knew he had to know even people who thought Jango was named after Jango and chain We're like, no, no, no, we know the movie, but that's not what she's named for He didn't know what Optimus Prime was or as he was well He's an older man and he was like, oh my dog. My dog my um, my son named him I was like, well, just so you know Must have heard that before it's named after a popular boys slide of toys Why is it boys? Yeah, Roger Yeah, maybe it's a popular line of girl toys a line of toys It was primarily aimed at boys in the 80s. I take his point. All right It's a cool thing to do now, but they were absolutely aiming a boy. So like I have to say like Wasn't really the right name for this dog. This dog should have been named cloud You know fluffy Abominable. What's his name Optimus Prime? All right How about we start the show in 45 seconds, let's do it Me do what we're here for after all and by golly, I say we do it solid concept And I'll start in 30 seconds by thanking everyone.

Yeah, three One Thanks to everyone who supports daily tech news show directly to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the daily tech news for Wednesday, October 10th 2018 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline I'm Sarah Lane and from studio I don't know why my UPC died or UPS died, but I'm Scott Johnson and I'm the show's producer Roger Roger to Roger We have assembled today as we do every day in order to help you help each other Understand the technology world better and that's what we're going to do today including an interesting new trend in Distributed restaurant management. Let's start with a few tech things. You should know The information claims that apple has reduced the rate of fraud in its chinese retail stores from 60% of repair claims To 20% over the past four years by secretly marking parts changing repair policies and improving diagnostic software Apple noticed that people were stealing phones swapping out valuable internal parts and then requesting warranty replacements This is why we can't have nice repairs. Yes, sneaky sneaky Pete over there in china Microsoft director of program management for windows servicing and delivery john cable Says the company has fixed all known issues with windows 10 or window 10 windows 10s october 2018 update that caused fewer than 1% of users to see data deleted Uh, he's cable management. I just realized that's a terrible joke, but I just wanted to get it out there anyway The update is now being released to windows insiders in addition. Microsoft is joining the open and uh invention network Excuse me, which exists to protect open source tech from patent lawsuits. Microsoft will not only defend linux now But will contribute 60 000 patents to the consortium allowing members to cross license them. My things have changed WhatsApp has patched a memory corruption bug in its android nios apps that could let an attacker take over the application If the target answered an incoming video call natalie silvanovic from google's project zero security research team discovered The vulnerability at the end of august informed responsibly. WhatsApp fixed it and now they're making it public There's no evidence that the vulnerability was ever exploited Well, let's talk a little bit more about my phone or the people who make my phone or one of my phones Let's talk about the essentials scott the essential phone bloomberg sources say andy rubin's essential Is working on a phone that can book appointments and respond to emails and texts on behalf of its users Your own little personal robot company has canceled the smartphone And paused development on a smart speaker to focus on this new feature It would run on a phone with a small screen that is meant to be controlled by voice I mean, this would be amazing to me if we hadn't just talked about google's hardware event yesterday where google kind of Already did this. Well, I mean they didn't do this, but it definitely takes the wind out of the sails, doesn't it? Oh, so it'll do a little bit more than that thing google announced yesterday Like I get what essentials up to which is to say one of the criticisms of the essential phone Was that it was a great phone In other words kind of like every other phone out there It didn't have anything that really set it apart the modular system was supposed to be that thing And modular systems have just not played no matter who's done them motor role essential or otherwise So this is their attempt to say what can we do to bring phones to the next step? Oh, I know what it is. We'll use the smart assistant part of them But like you said sarah like the longer they take to develop this The less far in front of the other models they're going to be I'm of course, you know andy rimming coming from android. It's it's you know, it's it's you can't You know deny the fact that there there were probably things in the works when he was at google That are coming to this That stuff takes time. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's exciting because Sure, it takes the wind out of their sails a little bit from the announcement yesterday but a a leaning into this idea of these devices autonomously taking care of some tasks for us Is absolutely a direction. I think is rad and I hope We see more like this coming from everybody apple and everybody included to be really cool If my phone did all the stuff I hate For me I don't know why you have to make it a smaller screen. I'm curious if there's a good reason there might be Uh, but it seems like it would be more popular if it's like, hey It's still got full functionality of the screen if you want it, but also you don't have to use it Well, tom, it's essential say they only give the essential screen You only need we give you the screen you need just this well speaking of essential Tom, I know this was a phone that you were, you know, kind of trying out But is this something that you use? Regularly what this isn't a feature that's in my phone. This is a feature they're developing. I'm just talking about the essential phone Oh, yeah, no, I love the essential phone. It's great. Yeah, right. You find it essential Maybe not okay Well, maybe you'll find this essential snapchat unveiled 12 original video shows including the platform's first scripted programs from top producers Like keeping up with the kardashian's creator bunamuri also did all of the real world At if you know reality shows, you know, you know them and friday night lights writer carter harris snapchat originals will appear in the discover tab with an upcoming dedicated session for shows as well as a permanent show profile Pages available through snapchat search Uh, why not? I mean everyone else is getting into the content game. Why not snap? I don't know how I feel about I mean, they have an outright said this but I don't know how I feel about portrait-based Uh content That's the issue you have Part of it is that part of it is like how long are these probably not very long. That's okay I don't want them to be too long is the point Uh take advantage of the the strengths of the platform, which is this quick quick snapchat kind of experience move that into your content deals and See what comes out of it. Uh, I think animated shorts would be really cool in this format Uh, I have some other ideas, but clearly they're heading down a very specific sort of reality tv road with this a little bit of scripted television maybe but I You do you want it tom do you want no? I may be entirely wrong about this, but I feel like what's happening is everybody sees youtube and says Oh Kids love short form video on mobile will do that go 90 Uh, uh, what was the the the the one that was uh trying to steal all the youtubers But then locked you in with a paid program. Oh, right Yeah, don't remember it's so long ago now. I've forgotten the name. Uh vessel vessel. Thank you The mistake all of these make is youtube is successful because anybody can put their stuff on it nbc The person in their garage us on dts and all of these try to overcome that's by saying oh, but we'll pay Really high quality directors and personalities and really popular people like the Kardashians and that'll bring people over And that's not why it works And I think that all of these attempts will fail Because they focus on that instead of the fact that it's convenience like oh, I want to watch that thing from from jimmy kimmel last night Oh, and then there's also this other recommended video. Oh, you mean a game of thrones conspiracy theory great I'll look at that. That's what makes it work. And I don't think any of these have replicated that Yeah, you can see why you get excited about it though, right? I mean sarah. You like some you like some trash Sorry, not trashy. I don't mean it in the most pejorative way, but you like some I like my trash tv and you know what I like. I like it on a big screen Right, so can this be yeah, like do I mirror this to my television? Like I don't like the idea of watching anything on snapchat on my phone Like that's not the way that I consume content ever Yeah, you watch things on your phone because they're either built for the third low quality or you're like I want to see the clip from last night's show and I don't have time to watch the whole show Right. Yeah, yeah, a show that exists there natively so exactly exactly Scientists at the University of Washington have developed a way for 3d printed plastic objects to transmit data without using batteries or electronics We've actually talked about this before on the show I know a bunch of you including myself about a hard time wrapping our heads around how this works But the team created antennas That can reflect ambient wi-fi Uh, so so in other words the way the the plastic bends or the gear shifts changes the way wi-fi is reflected And then they can sense that uh and and the way it's reflected can be modulated by the plastic So that it could be a zero or one Anyway, the team has created antennas that can work say in a pill bottle So you can tell if it's open or closed or or in a prosthetic hand so you can tell what position it's in For situations without wi-fi they've now developed a spring and ratchet That can record by ratcheting up the situations the opens the closes and then be released when wi-fi is present Again to transmit through the antennas The team wants to make the system smaller so it can actually be embedded in a pill bottle or a prosthetic Or an insulin pen for example, and they'll present their work this month at the acm symposium on user interface software and technology Love everything about this. This is such a cool step forward potentially For how we communicate with stuff that normally can't or would need power or batteries to do it like they said So the idea that I could we be wearing a prosthetic one day when I lose a leg or let's say if that ever happened The idea that it could communicate remotely without Me having to worry about it being charged or having You know the electronic stuff so in you know embedded into my leg. I love this idea This feels like a huge step forward For this technology did I take my pills is a serious question for people? Yeah, yeah I I take a Level theroxin every morning and when I take it I turn the pill bottle over because if I go back to sleep I want people to remember that I took it Um, and and that's me at 48. You know when I get to be 70. I'm gonna want this this thing here Yeah, you know when I read the story this morning. I was like, oh, I get it, but okay Let's say you don't have pill bottle issues Well, how else would this technology be super convenient? I was kind of racking my brain trying to think of every scientific advance If that's the question you ask you're gonna have a hard time, right? There's always the things that they've they've decided to do prosthetic limbs in this case Insulin pen and it's the people who get a hold of this once it's out and available for everyone to try That'll come up with the answer to that However, I would like to throw it to the audience if anybody's like actually I know I know what this could be used for feedback a daily tech news show Maybe you left a button on maybe you left the tv on or maybe you left something on at home I know that that's electronic and you can do with your phone now, but let's forget about Huh, interesting like a little like a oh the tv switches turn to the left. I guess we don't have those anymore But you know Right like is the fridge closed there. I got one for you Right Yeah, because you know you leave the fridge open all the time my fridge has an alarm if I leave my fridge open or closed I forget. Well, I'll tell you what it's a thing that happens. There are fridge alarms for that very case. Yeah, that's right That's right. Uh, well speaking of things that are now closed or sort of closed Microsoft has removed minecraft Which they currently own now if you have been under a rock for a while from the apple tv store specifically And it's discontinued support as of september 24th a pop-up when you launch the app says quote We need to reallocate resources to platforms that our players use the most Kind of rude You can continue to play the game if you already have it But microsoft is also offering refunds if you bought the app or anything in the app within the last 90 days and I wanted to put this in the top stories today because Uh, and this is another one we could put out to listeners. Maybe you guys can help me answer this this question I understand it's not going to be even close to the number one platform for people playing minecraft But I don't understand how this is any skin off microsoft's nose To have it on as many platforms as possible. They they're not pulling it from ios So you'll still be able to play your ipad and your iphone versions and buy those versions Uh, so I I just don't understand given that it's the same code base Uh, they're universal apps. It's not a big deal. Why don't you just leave it there? Well, I mean think about it if you want to airplay something from your iphone to the apple tv apple has or microsoft has probably Realized that there weren't that many people using the apple tv app and you can still enjoy the game using your apple tv Mm-hmm. No, that's true soon. You won't be able to buy it though I don't it just seems weird. You're the whole goal of mine, but you're buying it via ios and then you're just That's true. You're just airplane it. Well, yes, you could do that Um, I guess in theory you could do that. How would you control it though? I don't know wait control it on your phone Yeah, you use your phone as the remote. Yeah, I guess you could play with the phone as a remote You get a mi-fi controller and it would all still work. So that's all true I just they were they pioneered with minecraft in my opinion this more modern idea of This is everywhere all the time get it wherever you're at no matter what platform it is now Technically that was mojang before microsoft bought it and you know, they said well We'll carry that that kind of thinking through and we'll just have it everywhere regardless of platform I'm not sad that it won't be there. I don't even play it there I don't really play it at all But I just don't understand why having it there is a problem for them. It just seemed like not that big a deal I mean, maybe that's the answer is you didn't play it there Nobody played it there and even the small It's a problem more that they just didn't want to um dedicate the resources to keeping Update I'm curious what those resources were I guess Yeah, if you've got got insight into this Maybe you've been in a similar situation at a company you work for or you can be anonymous and tell us From inside an actual company that does this Email us feedback at daily tech news show dot com. We'd love to know Danish newspaper borson reports that apple acquired a danish visual effects startup in december But didn't disclose the purchase spectral as it's known trains machine learning algorithms to cut a person out of video As if they were on a green screen without the need of recording them in front of that said green screen Spectral advertises that it can do real-time mixed reality something that apple has been working on with its ar kit as well so this exists in a couple of uh webcams for uh streamers Gamers mainly who don't want to go through the expense trouble and lighting and all that to put a green screen behind them They buy a certain kind of camera and it does an okay job of saying well This is you and anything in the background now We're gonna we're gonna green out and now that will make it so you're a transparent overlay on your on your streams um And then you look at what apple's already doing with the iphone with their current camera and their all this bokeh work and everything else they're doing where You know foreground objects are eliminated or at least some somehow edited separately from background elements This makes perfect sense to me that they would Try to come up with a way to do that now How fun this would be and if it's just for stickers for me to send tom a gift of me dancing in front of the tajma hall That's probably all this is. Oh, well, it's it's no it's for ar It's for it's for the ability to have an ar experience right now You can only do it in the phone but imagine they had a headset And when you look at the person next to you you see that person playing the game with you But everything else around them is the ar experience and it can track them in real time as if they're green screen Yeah, so that's a cool use case. I I think this is really nifty technology just generally speaking the webcams have been Okay, they're not great. Some of them look okay. Um, so I don't know. We'll see what they do with it It seems like an interesting acquisition regardless. Yeah Well, folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com and feed your brain All right, I kept waiting for somebody to play that Earlier this week Jonathan Scheiber at tech crunch wrote an article titled the next big restaurant chain may not own any kitchens Which is kind of confusing because it's all about kitchens. It's that the restaurant chain itself wouldn't own The kitchen. Uh, what the story is about is the fact that ubs Uh, the the analyst company projects food delivery will grow from 35 billion dollars to 365 billion dollars by 2030 and so there's an opportunity For both new restaurants and existing restaurants to create a sort of Not exactly a cloud service, but like a data center for kitchens So a a network of shared kitchens storage facilities pickup counters ways to reduce the overhead So that you could try out new concepts or add in more delivery capacity without having to go through The problems of real estate and and acquisition and maintenance To open a new physical restaurant just to add delivery capacity So there's a few examples cited in this kitchen united is the one they spend the most time talking about It's in pasadena, california marketed to existing restaurants looking to expand Their chief development officer meredith sandland. I'm sorry the chief operating officer is meredith sandland She used to be chief development officer at taco bell And their chief business officer is a tool sued who used to be at mcdonald's and was the guy who hooked up mcdonald's with delivery services They've opened a 12,000 square foot facility in pasadena They have plans to expand to other parts of la new jersey, alana, ohio, phoenix, seattle denver And what they do is they take a warehouse or an old big box retail store or maybe a light industrial location And they fill it with 10 to 20 Restaurants so they give you the the counters the refrigeration the ovens everything you need And then you just rent that and they provide labor management menu management marketing and promotions One stop set up with the delivery channels They have reserved parking spaces for delivery people when they come up to get an order to take it away As well as back of house services So that you just focus on creating your food training your staff and filling orders Cantor's deli which is famous here in los angeles is part of this An iowa chain called the lost cuban kitchen now has an la presence for the first time Through this there's also other versions of this cloud kitchens does this Pilot works kind of focuses more on new food entrepreneurs and acts a little bit like like a co-working space for restaurants And momo fukushev uh david chang has tried this a couple of times maple was shut down and sold to delivery But ando was acquired by uber eats. So this is a trend That is happening and scott. I know this fascinated you this idea that We we might shift to fewer dying in locations, but have more delivery options because of this Yeah, it's uh, it's this idea of shared infrastructure that is super fascinating to me Given that we've we've overcome a lot of ideas in recent years about what's cool to share or isn't Be it ride sharing or the idea that somebody in their cars is going to pick us up and take us to the airport Like that was a really weird idea before uber and lyft and now we just sort of don't even blink at it This feels like the natural progression for a brick and mortar to move toward and it reminded me when I was a kid Uh, I wanted to be a political cartoonist It's all I really wanted to do and I would visit our two local papers the salt lake tribune of the desert news And when I was a kid at some point They said you know what this is dumb having two places to print everything And two places to do distribution and all that happens in between this is well before anything digital was happening Let's combine those forces and have one place that prints both papers every day. We're still competing Editorially, we're still competing Yeah, yeah, and so I think that's probably true a lot You know in most of the country it makes perfect sense Although it's taken a while For the restaurant business to to go this way and I could even see a situation where If it was more of a half-and-half dine-in dine-out kind of situation having let's say four restaurants on the same block All using the same infrastructure service of kitchens You could just do this seamlessly it would be nothing to the to the patrons They just get the food and a couple of these that I looked at market to food trucks Which you're like, well, why would a food truck need this? But a lot of times there's prep done Uh in a in a location before it's put on the food truck So the food truck just finishes off the service, you know things like chopping up the vegetables or pre-cooking items Can be done at scale and maybe you've got three or four food trucks that you then take from that one location So this works for that it could work for physical locations like you're saying as well and it's not just delivery It's also pickup. So with the canner's deli Roger, I think you're probably the closest of us. You could actually Go call in an order at this warehouse and then drive up to it and pick up Canner's deli without having to go all the way to actual canner's deli in the middle of town, which is an hour drive That would be great. You know, what's interesting is that uh, this is something that Institutions have been doing for a while, especially school districts because it used to be that least when I went to school All the schools I had I went to had their own kitchen had their own kitchen They had their own ovens and stuff and for In california there was you know cutbacks in education one of the things they said to do is basically We're going to cook everything in this one kitchen And then we're going to take the food and we're going to ship it out to the various schools That way we could still supply the same menu items But now we don't need to pay for the additional staff to run the onions the the stoves or whatever And we could cook it all in one place. We can ensure quality Uh, because you know, it's all made by the same people I mean, it's it's it's very interesting because in many ways this is a parallel to what you see with Chip fabrication, right? You have a separation between we design the chips And we make the chips and house too. We design the chips We're going to find the lowest, you know, the the cheapest or the most efficient producer that can produce our designs and we'll hire them I mean amd split off its global foundries from its business because it was just Cheaper to focus on developing the chips and rather than we're okay We've run out of chips to make we're going to have all these factories idling How do we you know, how do we keep you know things humming along and what in some cases kind of what intel's Facing right now. It's like well, you know, we we got to make sure that we're constantly supplying These things that we're paying for paying, you know for power and all this stuff Makes sense to do it with food Well, and you know, not that we all don't like going to our favorite pizza place You know that has like cool ambience and great music and all that stuff, but We all know that that restaurant that closed down where it's like, why did they close down? It was super popular. Well, you know that, you know, the lease became too expensive or whatever You know, it's probably it's hard to have a business where people go and eat your food However, I you know also talk about, uh, you know loving my ramen place I never go to the ramen place. There is a place that I could go and sit But I just order it because I'm I've become used to that So if there was no physical place that the ramen, you know was made But it was in a warehouse such as this and it was more cost-effective for the company to run it That wouldn't matter to me because I'm ordering it. Anyway, I mean Oh, no, I was about to say back in revision three in that building the company was located at there was also a couple of What do you call it, uh, uh, you know, you order food for a wedding or whatever catering catering And they there was a caterer that would serve lunch like hey, we do catering But you know, we have all these extras will serve it for lunch You go into the back they lift up the door and you just buy it and you go back to your desk. Sure Yeah, no, this is this is a industrialized, uh, uh data optimized version of that basically although Again, they're saying we'll rent you the kitchen. It's flexible. You'll have four walls around your kitchen You'll have your own access and everything, uh, but we'll manage all the other stuff You need there and I there was another story we considered talking about today BBC had a very rosy picture of how self-driving cars are going to eliminate car ownership In the next 10 years, which I'm not sure I agree with but you know, we've talked about that before But one thing I think will happen is if self-driving cars do catch on it will lower the cost Of delivery Which if this lowers the cost of the food preparation and it lowers cost of the delivery now that 380 billion dollars starts to sound right, uh Like yeah, I mean in a lot of cases the only reason I don't do delivery is because of the cost the extra charge And if that charge comes down to near nothing or for a restaurant that's done purely for delivery Is is is actually beneficial then yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna have delivery I mean on the flip side if you are, you know If you have the best pizza crust known to man But for whatever reason you just you know, you haven't ever found that storefront This is a great opportunity for people who make really good food to offer food to the rest of us Yeah, and maybe you eventually have a storefront, but that's just sort of a lost leader to get your name out there, right? Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah To me, it's no different than businesses, you know, contracting out their mail services or Secretarial services or whatever it is that whatever level you're at and this just I think is a totally brilliant idea and that pizza place that that sarah refers to that every town's had and we all wish was still there Could still be there. They just have to do the front and the back It's taken care because the spaghetti place on the corner and the sandwich place on the other side are all helped subsidizing it It's just a and you know as uh, I don't know I mean some of us, you know, I I hide from the world So I order a lot of food from you know to my house, but as that becomes more and more Mainstream the idea that oh, I like this place. I don't have to go there. I'll just get it delivered and the price comes down potentially as tom mentioned I think that you know that that is a market that will become more and more like amazon, but for food Yeah, good mark my words. We're going to start hearing stories about how delivery is killing physical restaurants And we'll eliminate physical restaurants. What do we need to do to save the physical restaurant with the killing the towns You know who doesn't kill towns people in our subreddit. Thanks everybody who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories and thanks to everybody who does you help us make our uh, our job Better every day wrote on them as well at daily tech news show dot reddit.com If you want to hang out on facebook does the same thing facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show is the url Let's check out the mail bag. What are people emailing us? Well, uh, we got quite a bit of um responses for um Our discussion yesterday about the google pixel And you know google's event in general and patrick beija and i were both a little lukewarm about it So kawa lau says i love dts But i wish they'd invited guests that knows a little bit more about google products for a show like today Again, this is yesterday's show They're all loyal ios users who know very little about android other than tom defending the slate The rest of the host didn't really care about the products now Jeremy added Agreed for one of the most anticipated launches of the year I felt like the reaction discussion was pretty ho hum. Hopefully there'll be more discussion in the coming days Yeah, well, first of all, I am not a loyal ios user I use android on the pixel c on the chrome book on my essential phone I use ios on an ipad and an iphone. I'm not loyal to anything Uh, this idea that yet to be loyal to something bothers me and and I defended the slate, but I also was enthusiastic about the pixel three phones as was sarah Sarah you sarah liked stuff about the phones Why do you think this is and I say these not necessarily to be defensive but to say And yet even with all of that We got some folks who were like, oh, you obviously don't like android and why why do you think that is? Well, and you know, I I I definitely understand um Both uh kawa and jeremy's notes because patrick and I both sort of said like You're gonna buy this now. Are you gonna buy this now? And I think that's it I think you're right because the reaction of the user at that point the listener is is well, of course not their apple fans Exactly and it's true. I just bought a phone. So, you know, I'm not in the market I but but if I were I thought that it was a you know, a very very nice phone Both of the models in particular and I do think that When somebody tends to kind of I don't know be beholden to a certain ecosystem Sometimes they can rub people the wrong way like well, you're just never gonna like You know You're never gonna like this phone because you're an iphone person Well, I am but um, it's not because I don't like the phone Oh Every time there's a new pixel I get excited because I go this could be the one and I get all excited And then I reason read that ours technica first impressions thing that freaked me out. I went Hold on scott. You're an apple fan, too. So nothing you say Let's go to roger chang Who doesn't use iOS devices roger? How did you feel about these google announced? I You know, it's funny because for most of those events. I'm not a big uh Smart speaker like user and uh, I do like the android phones I'm not a flagship phone kind of guy like I don't like oh halo phone. I need to have I'm one of those really kind of Of value added kind of guys where hey, what's the best phone you have that won't cost me an arm or the leg And generally it's somewhere along the samsung lg line And and you know, it's funny because I used to love like I had a nexus nexus 3 That was the best phone in the world But you know android's actually very they're very good at optimizing for different hardware levels So i'm keeping my galaxy s6 for probably another, you know, two to three years unless I break it Because it does everything I need it to and it doesn't uh, it's pretty solid Well, I I will say that thank you to kawa and and jeremy and I think ryan Creative vast arts also weighed in on this conversation on patreon as well We will we'll take this into account and we'll make sure if nothing else we we make sure to turn to roger In android announcements like that to get the perspective of someone who just lives in that universe as well I try to live in all of them myself just just so I have a little bit of Conversancy with it.

It seems like a Collision of two different Eating drinking styles, right? The idea is in the morning you drink coffee and somewhere around i don't know like maybe Three or four p.m. It kind of changes over it's called a cafe And it's called a cafe. Perhaps you've heard of it. Yes. No, uh, there was one in austin called laser me Uh, it was a cab driver who was french who ran it and it was open not 24 hours But it was open really early and really late So you could always go there and get uh, any kind of coffee had lattes and everything had had a you know a limited menu of peasant food basically like yeah flat Leads and black black beans and cheese and stuff. Uh, and and then he had wine and beer And you just kind of like whatever you were in the mood for that was that was your thing And I love that place so much. Yeah, and I mean I you know, of course I I love the idea of being like it'll be like the cutest place ever So much great light people like, you know come and we'll play records and all that stuff However, I could still do it and it's actually more advantageous if I Just had like really good wine that people could order and you know, I was you know part of the kitchen that Maybe I was sharing with other companies as well So there was very little overhead for me or yeah, I want less I've always wanted to do some kind of bookstore slash coffee shop pup Oh me too, you know, that's what when I registered frogpants.com back in like, I don't know 2002 Uh, the go that the plan was a coffee shop fantasy bookstore. That was the idea And then I gave up on that and made it my company name There was uh, in San Francisco, there was a coffee coffee shop slash comic book store Oh, yeah, there's been a lot a lot of kind like it didn't melt down have like a little snack bar coffee shop There's also a borderlands used to I think in its new location. It doesn't anymore But it had a great coffee coffee and tea shop with pastries right next door Page is probably a coffee shop, I think diner Yeah coffee shop the old the old term for coffee shop is similar with diner Versus cafe. It's my parents rain run smithy's coffee shop rest I'm gonna I'm gonna miss my local coffee shop. I love that place. Oh, yeah It's just not gonna be something that I go to I don't know man. I finally in town I don't want to say too much But I finally found a place that I can just go anytime now Eileen doesn't feel the same way So like last night I was like, we'll just go there and she's like, man. I don't know But I've I've eaten at this place because it's got pie and a big menu and it serves beer and coffee I I bet I bet I know the place. Oh, you've been there. Yes, you've been there with me I've eaten there like six times in the past two weeks And I I lean over it already Yeah, well because it's not high quality. So she's like, well, let's try other things. We have It's consistent. That's the thing. Yeah, exactly It's like where you go after a long day of work and you just don't want to cook And really that's the thing is she's like, well, I just want to go get something to go and bring it home I'm like, all right. Well, that's fair. She's had to drive all the way back from Beverly Hills We used uber eats one night for mcdonald's just so we could say we did it I've done that. I've done that. Oh good. I don't feel as bad I did it. I was sick. I didn't feel like But I did it I was I was sick and I wanted ice cream and the only ice cream that was deliverable in in a reasonable amount of time Was from mcdonald's so I got chicken mcnuggets and sundaes and a cherry pie The mcdonald's cherry pie mind you Well, um, the mcdonald's that's closest to me is not like right around the corner, but a five minute drive And you still had it delivered Because I didn't there was something about it because I wanted mcnuggets really bad and I but I didn't want to go I just didn't want to be a part of the whole experience I just wanted it to come to me And not have to like go through a drive through like I wasn't going to sit in the mcdonald's And I didn't want to go through the drive through That no actual chicken was in the nugget nuggets. Do they know? Well, you know, who knows they were delicious, but um, it it They did redid the recipe allowed me to not have any Face time with a human besides the person that was dropping off the mcnuggets to me But when I was sick that was kind of the same thing too because my mcdonald's Yeah, like you don't you just don't want to be in public and You just I mcdonald's is like last resort for me. Like if everything's closed. I'll hit jolly bees before I hit mcdonald's Everyone has a jolly bee near them Sorry Well jolly it's kind of where jolly bee has a weird place in at least in my area Because it's we had jolly bee near us And I don't know I don't even know what jolly bee is The mcdonald's of the philippines Oh, okay, so that fried chicken and burgers and peanut chicken joy. Yeah Their lupia is so greasy though Yeah, I don't even like that Uh cas k a a s kitchen as a service Uh, I like kitchen as a service we could do kitchen as a service.

Oh my gosh Oh, yeah, yeah That's like and that's like the ultimate urban Yeah, totally right, you know, but as you know, it's sort of like don't go swimming after you have lunch You know, it's like what's gonna happen? We were always You'll cramp up finish your food. Did anyone ever cramp up? No, you know, yeah Yes If you snacked on a hot dog, it was fine But if you just like ate a four course meal you probably shouldn't go into the pool swimming You know kind of thing that's just common sense.
