    Weekend of November 8, 2024

    Tech News and Commentary Dave and Chris discuss generative Ai, voice shopping, and Gen Z, Apple’s attempt to spam calls with logos, Vizio’s karaoke soundbar, X-Ray recaps for Prime video, and more. In this week’s Into Gaming, Bryan is giving us the ‘Industry Insider’ cheat codes, with a look at Sony’s billion dollar acquisitions and what it means for the players, into tomorrow. Take it away, Bryan! Our guest this show: Dr. Nico Darras, Director of Golf at TruGolf. Ray in Niagara Falls, New York asked: I need more information on that Tablo that they're advertising on TV. They give you the information they want you to have. I need to know if I can use this to block commercials. Commercials are longer than the programs if you time them. Ray, Tablo used to offer a premium service first introduced in 2019 that automatically skipped commercials. That service was discontinued in 2022 as the premium subscription never grew as much as the company anticipated and they couldnt cover the costs of providing the service without that growth in subscriptions. Tablo does not require a subscription, one is offered that provides a 2 week program guide and improved options like the ability to record a whole series rather than an episode. That subscription costs $5/month, but again, it does not include the commercial skipping functionality. Channels DVR can still skip commercials, but youre looking at having to set up a Raspberry Pi or similar computer to act as the server, which is not the same experience as buying a polished plug and play device. Unfortunately, since 2022, your choices to skip commercials on over the air TV got worse.

What are the plusses of each one and which would you recommend?” Chris, they’re not really the same category of device, so it kind of comes down to what you’re looking for. iPads are simpler to use, simpler to keep updated and overall secure, but they’re more limited. They sit somewhere between a phone and a laptop in functionality. The Microsoft tablets are just Windows laptops in a different form factor. You’ll have to deal with the normal updates, and the latest batches of ads and invasive features that Microsoft seems determined to cram into Windows, you’ll need to worry about malware scanners, but they’re more versatile and can run the same software any other computer can. It’s ultimately down to what you need to do with the device. If you need specific software for work or anything like that, your choice may be made by that restriction alone. Joe in Hazleton, Pennsylvania asked: “If you need another reason to dislike Google, I can give you one. It's the Google Mini speaker. I have one and it's very annoying. I can listen to a stream of music for about 15 minutes, sometimes longer, and then it just cuts off and it says we can't connect to the internet, check your modem or wireless connection and try again. This happens often. I'm really don't know if it's the speaker or if it's my router or what it is, but sometimes I unplug and I unplug the speaker and I plug it back in and then it's okay fo...

What might be the most cost-effective and useful for law enforcement purposes - and on the other hand, what is NOT so cost-effective and useful? " Don, this stuff always comes down to what you need more than anything else. If you’re really asking for the most cost effective and useful technology that cops use in general the answer would probably be something like “boots”, or “email”, or for electronics something boring like their radios, or we would imagine that speed guns and speed cameras pay for themselves pretty quickly. Drones are so cheap and easy to fly that they’re likely to make the list these days, they’re basically a cheap helicopter replacement that you can fly right up to a window if you want to. Least useful or worth it is probably a much longer list, there have been a lot of complaints lately that the famous Shotspotter is a failure in real world environments, and that MRAP that your local police department bought from DoD for an ungodly amount of money is probably useless unless someone happened to mine your streets recently. There’s a police department in California that bought a Cybertruck, which is a questionable enough purchase in general with all the problems they seem to be having, but they even bought it only as an engagement tool not meaning to actually drive it outside of events,

    Weekend of October 18, 2024

    Tech News and Commentary Dave and Chris discuss A timezone for the moon, TikTok's addictive features and children's mental health, social media usage among American teens, smart glasses and facial recognition, Meta's fake auroras, and more. What will VR games look like in the time ahead? Bryan’s here to take us on a 60-second trip into the future, exploring fully immersive VR, Into Tomorrow… Our guest this show: Samantha Crowe, Program Manager of Science Education at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Billy in Simpsonville, South Carolina asked: "Apple is supposed to release their Ai with the Apple 16, but it's available in the stores now without the Ai. They were the originators of this whole thing. When are they gonna do this? Are they ever gonna do it or are they just too far behind now?" Billy, Apple announced some time before the iOS 18 release that Apple Intelligence would be coming out later in the year as part of the 18.1 version. There is no official firm date for the release, but unofficially sources have said that it's likely to come out on October 28th. If you're not upgrading to the iPhone 16 keep in mind that Ai is intensive and has hardware requirements and only a few of the older models will fully support it. Unless you have an iPhone 16 or an iPhone 15 Pro model, you wont be able to benefit from the new features. Outside of iPhones, if you have an M1 or newer MacBook or iPad, you will have access to Apple Intelligence when its released.

    Tech News and Commentary Dave and Chris discuss Tesla removing their least expensive car from their lineup, Tesla's catching fire in flooded garages, the lawsuits against TikTok, a data breach affecting 200,000 Comcast customers, General Motors hands-off, eyes-off Level 3 self driving, and more. Remember ‘Super Mario 64’? Bryan joins us to share how its revolutionary mechanics continue influence today’s games, Into Tomorrow… Our guest this show: Dr. Lauri Benton, Executive Director for Counselor Community Engagement at The College Board. Mike asked: "My wife has locked herself out of her iPhone. We can't remember the password she used. Is there any way to unlock that phone?" Mike, if your wife remembers her Apple ID username and password, you should be able to unlock it using those. Unfortunately, the password is obviously meant to keep people who dont know it out, so theres no real easy way to get around that, otherwise what would be the point of it? If her phone is not set up using a Apple ID, you may be able to wipe it by putting it into recovery mode. You will need a computer, but this is a legitimate Apple recommendation. You can actually find their own instructions on their website, which is good because they differ by device and it involves holding down the right buttons for the right amount of time in the right order. Apples articles url is not very audio friendly, its https://support.apple.com/en-us/118430, but we will list it on this weeks show page. If the phone is protected by the Apple ID, you will have to enter it even if you do apply this method.

    Weekend of October 4, 2024

    Tech News and Commentary Dave and Chris discuss Disney Plus adding more live channels, Facebook and wildfires, TPG's acquisition of Dish Network, Google's defense in anti-competitive conduct cases, , and more. Bryan’s is ready to bust a gaming myth. This one’s been around for a while, but it’s time to set the record straight. Here's Brian has for us today. Our guest this show: Rob Lalka, Author - The Venture Alchemists Dug in Stevensville, Michigan asked: "I need help with my wired CarPlay device in my 2021 Highlander. I have a device that plugs into my wired CarPlay port, and that is the OttoCast Car TV mate and it allows for an HDMI input to be displayed on my car's screen. I use a Fire Stick for the HDMI and it works great. This device also does CarPlay via Bluetooth. Is there a way to use my iPad Pro M2 chip instead of using iPhone? My iPad is connected to the Internet via my S24 as a hotspot but I can also use the cellular connection that is built into the iPad for the Internet." Dug, unfortunately you wont be able to connect your iPad to CarPlay. CarPlay is supported only by iPhones, but not by iPads. If you happen to have any old iPhones laying around, surprisingly and to Apples credit CarPlay is supported on phones as old as the iPhone 5, a phone from 2012. If you dont (because, why would you?), the easiest solution for you would really be to just use Android Auto with your S24. Thats a nice phone that would definitely be able to handle being made the source for the screen. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are virtually the same thing, youll have a hard time finding anything one can do that the other one cant and 3rd-party devices that can use one can usually use the other. As a benefit, youre likely using your S24 for everything as it is, so if you connect it to your car the things you regularly use will be up-to-date. For example, your podcasts will be the ones you havent already listened to on the phone, the map will remember the places you looked up on the phone you use every day, etc. JJ in Simpsonville, South Carolina asked: "I watch a lot of movies about the future and I was just wondering... What's the best case scenario for Ai in your opinion?" JJ, honestly Ai is overhyped at the moment, so realistically the best case for Ai is that it becomes somewhat useful without costing too many jobs, using too many resources, or being used for too many scams and manipulation. The current version of these Ai bots is not super useful, a good piece of advice is: before asking them about something you dont know, ask them about something youre an expert in. Youll see pretty quickly that a very large percentage of the responses are just wrong. The best case is for that to improve so it can become a more reliable tool, but at the moment its hindered by the fact that it doesnt have context, so it doesnt know what it doesnt know. You know that dipping a scalpel in drain cleaner probably doesnt improve the outcomes of a surgery because drain cleaner is corrosive, it just knows that drain cleaner and surgery appeared together in a number of articles so they must be linked. What is called RAG in Ai, or retrieval-augmented generation, addresses that to an extent. Thats where you tell the model read these documents and give me answers only from these carefully vetted documents. In theory that should mean that you give it a history book and ask it about the American Revolution,

    Weekend of September 27, 2024

    Tech News and Commentary Dave and Chris discuss Apple receiving approval for a new hearing aid assist feature, Apple's tabletop robot, Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology, digital scent, and more. Our guest this show: Kam's Korner: Kameron joins us to talk about some of the mobile games he's been into. Bryan’s got the scoop on a gaming rig that’s packing a surprising amount of power in a small package. Break it down, Bryan! Bob in Denver, Colorado asked: "I'm listening to and watching all the information on Ai. I want to buy a new computer. Do I wait for a computer with Ai built into it or do I just go to the different apps and get the Ai from the app store? Also, Ai is changing so fast. Is there a vendor that has the best Ai product for personal use?" Bob, it depends on what you need, really. If youre looking for a general use assistant then waiting and buying a computer with an assistant built in may be a good idea, but you may not need it if just asking questions to an online assistant or app is good enough to fit your needs. A purpose built computer will likely have the processing power to do some things locally, but its all very dependent on what youre looking to have Ai do for you. In terms of vendors, the market is splintered. For chat assistants ChatGPT seems to be ahead still but their models run on datasets that are not updated as often as Google, but if youre looking at coding then CoPilot will likely serve you better, and if youre looking at image generation Midjourney gets very impressive results. There are all summarizer bots from different companies that transcribe and summarize conversations, there are bots are specializing in math, or examining images and providing descriptions, etc. The best vendor is really just the one that is better at what you need assistance with, theres really not an overall do-it-all champion.
