We have Odie behind the board today, so let's get ready to start today's show.
Speaker 3:
Now on today's show.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. Today on Tech Time with Nathan Mum, we exposed the cyber threats from Iran that could disrupt US water and factory systems and how you can protect yourself. We also debut the pros and cons of school cell phone bands, where they help or hurt the student learning and safety. We also investigate the new alliance between Meta and IBM. Meta and IBM are working together. Meta is now working with everybody. He needs to work with people. Zuckerberg struggling to do his stuff, so he's working with people out there and what it means for the future of artificial intelligence. We uncover the truth behind Joanne Donovan's exit from Harvard and how it relates to Meta's role and other misinformation. And we have a holiday special with news trends, gifts and chat with Santa GPT, the Jolly Chatbot. We're going to be talking about that. Have you heard about Santa GPT?
Mike Gorday:
No.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, we're going to talk about it. It's awesome. In addition, we have our features, including Mike's mesmerizing moment, the technology fail the week and a possible Nathan nugget, if time allows, regarding AI and geese. So sit back. I hope we get to that.
Nathan Mumm:
I do too, so I really want to know about the geese, the geese and how they interacted, how the AI was created for the tracking of all geese in the world, not just the United States, but the world geese tracking system. So sit back, raise a glass and welcome to tech time radio. As always, we have our pick of the day whiskey taste and you're the commercials. See if our selected whiskey pick at zero, one or two thumbs up at the end of the show. So sit back, raise a glass and welcome to tech time with Nathan mum. Now it's time for the latest headlines in the world of technology.
Speaker 3:
Here are our top technology stories of the week.
Nathan Mumm:
All right Story. Number one Iran linked cyber attacks threatened equipment used in the US water systems and factories. Let's go to our own tech times, Tom Geichen, for more on the story.
Speaker 5:
An Iran linked hacking group is actively targeting and compromising multiple US facilities for using an Israeli made computer system. The cyber security and infrastructure security agency, cisa, said on Friday that the hackers, known as cyber avengers, have been infiltrating video screens with the message you have been hacked down with Israel. Every equipment made in Israel is cyber avengers legal target. The cyber attacks have spanned multiple states, while the equipment in question Unitronics vision series programmable logic controllers is predominantly used in water and wastewater systems. Companies in energy, food and beverage manufacturing and health care are also under threat. Back to the studio.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. So we have compromised devices which are publicly exposed to the internet with default password. So these devices that were put in these water treatment facilities and these other clinics and medical facilities essentially had a default password that you could hack into the back of them. And when they installed them, no one went into the default password and decided to reset the default password on these units. It reminds me back in the days of a young Nathan, when he went to college and somebody didn't put a BIOS password on the computers at the community college and someone hacked into there and did some stuff with that too.
Nathan Mumm:
So here's the first thing you need to do If you buy a device from anywhere Israeli, argentinian, wherever the heck you're, japan, wherever the heck you're buying this device from and it comes, make sure you go into the settings and change the default password of those devices so that you can't have anybody remotely get to them. That would be the first thing. The agency did not specify how many organizations have been hacked, but on Friday CNN reported that less than 10 water facilities around the US have been infected, so it's not as many as it could have been. Cyber Avengers, where they have essentially the E is now a three, so it's Cyber AV three Enders, but they call themselves Cyber Avengers has been behind the breach at a water authority outside of Pittsburgh on November 25th. The water authority was forced to temporarily disable the compromised machine, but reinstated it, and the drinking water is safe.
Nathan Mumm:
It also shows a scale and scope of the Israeli Hamas cyber warfare. Along with the fighting on the ground, Both sides of the conflict have dozens of hacking groups that have been responsible for disrupting company operations, linking sensitive information online and collecting user data to plan future attacks. Essentially, we're now tracking over 150 such groups. United States is, and since this has happened, they're making sure that no other standard default passwords for any of their water facilities remain unpatched or uncorrected. And the response to the cyber concerns, really, authorities recently gave them now emergency wartime powers, which allows the government to step in if a company that specifically deals with cloud storage and digital services get hacked. So let's talk about this. So if I have a server that's sitting in Israel right now and it gets hacked, is it okay for the government with wartime powers to come on in and just decide to take over that personal server?
Mike Gorday:
Why? I don't know. Why are you asking me?
Nathan Mumm:
I'm just asking you kind of, I mean because it's an interesting deal. This is the first time that I've ever seen this, seems this seems like par for the course where a country would take over.
Mike Gorday:
Okay okay, I mean they're dealing with, they're trying to deal with all these attacks. And if the attackers are attacking privately owned things, yeah they should be.
Nathan Mumm:
They should be. You think they should be able to go on in there and have it taken care of? That's fine.
Mike Gorday:
I was just curious on that. I don't know.
Nathan Mumm:
I know it's unique, I haven't seen it before. So this is the first time where a country has essentially advertised that, in the wartime situations, any data center that could get corrupted by anybody, they're going to just go on in and take over control of that Maybe that's the key is that it's self advertised.
Mike Gorday:
I'm guessing that everybody else that is having these same issues are dealing with the same governmental that may be.
Nathan Mumm:
You know, russia and China and these places that don't release information maybe do exactly the same thing.
Mike Gorday:
They just don't they just don't say anything or you know this is what are you going to do. This is something that's going to affect everybody from here on out, for, I mean, I tried to get onto a I think it was Cambridge library okay website and there was a notice that it was being hacked and the information was unavailable.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, yeah, it happens a lot now. So yeah, alright, let's go on. I know story number two is a story that you're passionate about. What do we have for story number two?
Mike Gorday:
Well, I don't know if I'm super passionate about it.
Nathan Mumm:
You were last night at the production meeting. Well, yeah.
Mike Gorday:
I mean, I grew up in a different era, so the problem is that schools are cracking down on cell phones, sparking debate on safety and technology use.
Speaker 4:
Okay right.
Mike Gorday:
So some of these schools are finding creative ways to stop students from using their cell phones during the day, fueling debates about the effectiveness and wisdom of such bands. Some schools have partnered with companies to implement things like pouches that the students are required to put their phones into at the beginning of the day and don't unlock until the final bell rings, while others are threatening punishments, including suspension, if a student is caught with their phone, even at lunchtime. Educators appear ecstatic about getting students off their phones during class, but there are lingering concerns from both parents and children about being phoneless in emergency situations or whether this is the best way to address the problem. Renisha Parks, chief Wellness Officer at Richmond Public Schools in Virginia, is implementing in six schools at the beginning of 2024 to stop cell phone usage, partnering with Yonder Y-O-U-N-D-R, which creates magnetic pouches for cell phones. The measure will impact around $4,200 students and cost approximately at least $75,000. While she said that the educators in the district were thrilled with the idea, the support for it is split among parents and students, which makes sense right.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah, I was kind of against this right. So I'm kind of like I don't know why you just wouldn't allow the kids to have the cell phones in there, but keep on going on in the story.
Mike Gorday:
My point that I was trying to make last night is that we take these and we take these little specific pieces and we use them as our signpost for why we're going about it. So these kids and their parents are using this as an emergency use thing, and argument for having them, whereas the problem with these in the school system is that we all know these addictive qualities of our screens. Okay, and so you have a lot of kids who are engaging in stuff other than schoolwork.
Mike Gorday:
Okay, so, you know there's and again we see this. We see this in different areas, all the time.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay.
Mike Gorday:
So, according to one of the things that this person Park says is that they've been sharing with parents throughout this process, that they have additional town hall and they're going to have additional town halls to talk about the process, to alleviate their concerns, because when we were growing up, we didn't have this, we didn't have cell phones, we didn't have cell phones.
Nathan Mumm:
The best I could sneak in was a calculator that had a little macro in there that I'd put my Spanish words in and try to get away with that for Spanish class, sure, but when there was an emergency, who did you call? You called the school, you called the teacher, my parents would call the school, or we would just back in the old days. I mean, if there was a major emergency we would just kind of go out to our cars and just jet out, right.
Mike Gorday:
I guess that's probably your strategy was to get out of dodge. Yeah, but the idea here is that there are already systems in place to deal with emergency, so this becomes more of a personal issue. It doesn't mean that, like as a parent, I want to be able to get a hold of my children. If I need to, okay Right. But we also complain all the time about our children not being educated or getting educated in the education they need, and part of it is because of this.
Ody:
Okay, that's actually an ongoing phenomenon right now, with a bunch of teachers especially new teachers are having issues with kids that do not want to give up their phone. Instead, if they are asked to give up their phone, they'll then tattle to their parents and then parents will then fight with teachers about it.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, it's becoming a very and we're seeing this a lot on social media. Correct, because it's sparking some even violent reactions from students and other people. All right, so Ron yep Yep, a clinical psychologist here, ronnie Cohen Sandler, who wrote the book Anything but my Phone Mom, says that they're sort of dumping all this pressure on their moms and not sitting with the feelings themselves. Okay, and this is about the discipline.
Nathan Mumm:
So is that kind of the helicopter parent, If the person texts them and then mom or dad gives them advice directly in school? Is that kind of what they have gone there?
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, there's a little enmeshment going on because they're feeding into this idea that they need their cell phones and the parents are going with it, okay, and as a result, the children are not developing tolerance for frustrating situations, they are not developing certain coping skills for dealing with uncomfortable feelings and there is also some social communication skills that they're losing because everybody's got their phone in their face, okay. And if you've, this is not just a kid phenomenon.
Nathan Mumm:
It's like everybody, Everybody. You go into a restaurant tonight. We'll go to our restaurant tonight, post the event and watch how many people are on their phones. Yeah, I mean not socializing.
Mike Gorday:
We sit around in meetings and we're dinking around on our phones. How much information are we really getting from that meeting?
Ody:
Yeah, that's right.
Mike Gorday:
The same thing is going on in the school? Okay, one of the other approaches. One of the arguments is that you need to create a culture of healthy tech use. Okay, I like that, and there are schools all over the place that are working on that. This comes from Richard Coulotta, the CEO of the International Society for the Technology in Education. He says that a better approach is teaching children the do's of technology as well as the don'ts, and not tackling the issue by avoiding it, which is the argument for you know.
Nathan Mumm:
If you're dropping your phones off in a pouch as you enter the school and you're getting on your way out, you're essentially trying to avoid the technology usage right.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, I think that's sort of a Myself, I think that's sort of a vague argument as well. Okay, because we're still saying. We're basically saying we're going to teach them how to use their technology properly, and then it's up to them to do it.
Marc Gregoire:
Okay, yeah.
Mike Gorday:
Okay, All right, so you know this is going to be an ongoing issue, I'm sure. So we'll kind of we should see how this plays out.
Nathan Mumm:
We should add this to our prediction show and see if schools are going to adopt this in the next year.
Mike Gorday:
Well, I don't think there's going to be any sweeping adoption.
Speaker 4:
Okay.
Mike Gorday:
You know, I think this one specifically comes out of Virginia and Maybe it'll just be a state by state.
Marc Gregoire:
So, they may be regional, okay.
Mike Gorday:
There's always going to be regional differences about, especially, you know, probably here in the Pacific Northwest, in the. West they probably don't have any regulations on phone use. No, because I think Right.
Nathan Mumm:
They just say they're allowed to use them because we're a technology company.
Ody:
All right.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, all right. Well, let's go to story number three, meta and IBM launch an AI allowance Sorry, an AI, it should be an allowance An AI alliance, promising to be quote-unquote open. Let's go more from our correspondent, karan Keegan on the story.
Speaker 8:
Meta and IBM are odd partners, but the technology leaders are now teaming up with academics and researchers to create responsible, open-sourced artificial intelligence. Could this be considered open AI 2.0? Ibm CEO Arvin Krishna said this is a pivotal moment in defining the future of AI. Ibm is proud to partner with like-minded organizations through the AI Alliance to ensure this open ecosystem drives an innovative AI agenda underpinned by safety, accountability and scientific rigor. Are we ready for open AI 2.0 when open AI 1.0 is not completed or fully vetted? That is something that should make the listeners go, hmm.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. So we got Meta and IBM, trying to assemble this like Avengers of the AI world to come on up with so open AI 1.0 is what's out right now. Right.
Nathan Mumm:
And we're still trying to figure out chat GPT. We're still going to have to come up with some basic regulations on how we do AI, what the copyrights go for AI and don't go graphic imaging if it works. I mean, the best thing to do is I saw a Facebook page that has essentially chat, gpt or any chats pictures, and it's now like a whole forum on Facebook where you can just post them and you have people with three arms Maybe they got people with two ears in the front of their face. I mean, ai pictures are just kind of a funny thing to look at. If you want to spend a bunch of time, I tell you you can just go and generate that.
Nathan Mumm:
We haven't figured out AI version one, but now we got IBM and Meta that want to be in charge of this group of 50 companies, startups, universities, research institutes and essentially create a governing body. It does include open AI, google and a bunch of other technology companies also Microsoft's in there too this group that comes on up with the laws and the reasoning on what needs to be taken care of. Now, I'm all about people working on new technology, but I don't think these companies should be the people that are coming up with these guidelines. I think that should be. That's kind of where the government and whether it's local government or national government comes on in to verify and make sure that those laws make the most sense possible, instead of these companies that are going to profit from everything they can with this.
Mike Gorday:
That's my first thought, okay. Let me say this is, where's the money in this? Because we know, you know, that Meta and IBM are not doing this as some sort of philanthropic endeavor to make the world a better place. Correct, there is some form of profit in there, and so you're excluding people. I think we talked about this in another story months ago about what the people who are creating these rules around AI, the power that they can, and you know use In that system so.
Nathan Mumm:
So this is so I you know what. I'm all four people coming up with a big group of Companies working together on technology, but don't be calling it open AI to. Oh, don't become in this Glamorin of. This is our advisory group. I think there's other people better for that.
Mike Gorday:
Well, I you know, I could be just jaded well, I don't know, it's a story that I'm just jaded and I'm thinking that there is no, there is no real ethical binding. Okay, so, man, so hang on.
Nathan Mumm:
We're going on a story, number four, so meta and IBM are gonna have this promise to be open. Let's go to a story number four. Disinformation researcher, joanne Donovan contends she lost her job at Harvard University due to pressure from the social media company Metta.
Speaker 4:
now this is the one that wants to work together.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, all right.
Nathan Mumm:
A well-known online disinformation researcher has accused Harvard University of pushing her out and shutting down her work to shield the school's reputation with Facebook owner meta, and Legal filing sent to the United States Department of Education in the Massachusetts attorney general's office. Donovan accused the University of violating her Free speech rights and the school's own commitment to an academic freedom. Now why would she get fired? We're gonna find out about that. In order to protect the interests of High-valued donors with obvious and direct ties called meta and Facebook, donovan alleged the pressure came as the Chan Zuckerberg initiative, the charitable organization Established by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, have pledged $500 million to fund a new university-wide center on artificial intelligence at Harvard. There are a handful of tried-and-true means to coerce someone essentially Donovan claims that she has significant Data that will show that the $500 million is certainly a financial Influencer on the decision to shut down her area.
Nathan Mumm:
Donovan had worked for Harvard since 2018, serving as a research director in leading this technology and social change research project with studied media manipulation campaigns. She was a prominent expert on social media and online disinformation, testifying before Congress, raising millions of dollars in grant funding and being frequently cited by the news and media. Harvard continues to research misinformation on social media, but now without the vocal leader, donovan. Who knows what will happen. Meta has declined to make a comment on this story. Now this is these are alleged. I don't want to say this necessarily happened because she's following a lawsuit, and it could be, you know it. It could be substantiated, it could be not substantiated, but I want to say the facts are. She believes that's why she's filing her lawsuit that she was removed from Harvard Because meta wants to do an AI Branch of technology and is going to pay over 500 million dollars. What do you think? Do you think she's got a case or do you?
Mike Gorday:
I don't know, I don't know anything about her or the it's. You know the the thing about these is there's an obvious slant to this Uh-huh, and you know we talk about. We talk about this kind of stuff regularly as far as, like, we just bagged all over Meta and IBM for getting getting together and where the profits are coming from, and then we have this. You know it's possible, okay, it's possible that she was pushed out, uh, because of pressure from the Zuckerbergs, or you know it's possible that maybe she just got a little too big for her britches.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, I'm just reporting that the lawsuit has been filed. Those are the claims. I don't want to say she's innocent or not innocent, but I just wanted the news to get out there Because I just thought that was so funny. That meta is saying that they want to join on this open deal and then following in the press release stories, that's right there.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, there's always it was just funny. It was just like really Meta here, meta there Meta here and shady stuff over here and sunny, sunny, beautiful sunshine over there, yeah.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, that ends our top technology stories of the week. Moving on to our next segment, we're going to have Tech Times. Help for the holidays. Stay tuned, this is On it's Way. Next You're listening to Tech Time with Nathan Mum. We'll back at this commercial break.

Marc Gregoire:
going on.
Nathan Mumm:
Welcome back to Tech Time with Nathan Mum. Tech Time is a weekly hour technology show that talks about current technology in a simple format. That afternoon geek out brought to you by myself, nathan Mum a microday. We just had our first whiskey tasting during the break and Mark is in studio to tell us this is good. I like this way off the bat, this is. I can already tell you this is a thumbs up, but tell us more about this.
Mike Gorday:
You're not supposed to say that, right yet, well, it is, it is.
Nathan Mumm:
This is my type of whiskey. So what are we drinking today?
Marc Gregoire:
We are drinking Remus Repeal Reserve Series 6 Bourbon. So from Remus' website they say Remus Bourbon is proud to introduce the highly anticipated Remus Repeal Reserve Series, Crafted with the melody of five rare bourbons reserved from 2008 to 2014. And so this continues our high quality of tradition of the series, and this one has notes of candied fruit, fig jam, oak and barrel, char, mint and slight caramel, nutmeg, toffee and honey. Mmm, Ooh, you like a mouthful, don't you? Nathan?
Nathan Mumm:
I do. This is good, I like, yeah, I'm digging this hard.
Marc Gregoire:
So they finish with sweet candied fruit leather and a lingering sweetness and spy rice I get no bite Scri-spice.
Marc Gregoire:
Whew, it's already got to me. All right, and this series 6 came out September 2022 for National Bourbon Heritage Month, and I was hoping to bring in the 7, but I just picked up the 7 and we had already slated the 6 to go on for today. And this is from Luxco, which is owned by MGP, which is distilled in Indiana. It's straight bourbon. It's a blend of five bourbons ranging, as we said, from 9 to 15 years, 100 proof and it goes for about $100.
Nathan Mumm:
Oh yeah, this is a shopper's holiday, gift myself type of deal. That's a little out of my normal price range.
Mike Gorday:
right, that's way out of your price range.
Marc Gregoire:
This is good I like this a lot, but it's got a cork. It doesn't have a cork.
Nathan Mumm:
It doesn't have a fancy label because it doesn't need it. It's just got a smooth finishing taste.
Ody:
All right.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, with our first whiskey tasting completed, we now move on to our holiday time with the kickoff of our 12 days of Twitter miss from last year. We're going to play this because we just recorded the brand new 12 days of AI last night. Oh, it is hilarious. It will make the 12 days of Twitter miss which we premiered last year. It'll put it to shame, but we're going to start out with today's show before we get into our segment listening to last year's the 12 days of Twitter miss.
Speaker 3:
Tech time wants to welcome everyone to enjoy the holidays with the 12 days of Twitter miss. As only tech time can present it, please forgive the singing on the first day of Twitter.

Speaker 3:
We want to thank everyone that listened to our twelve days of Twitter miss. We wish each of you a happy holiday and a merry Christmas.
Mike Gorday:
I'm just so glad this is actually recorded All right. Wow, you know what? What a tune. I think we brought so much heat on them that they had to change their name.
Nathan Mumm:
They changed it to X A.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah.
Nathan Mumm:
So the next week start debut of A I. Oh boy, you may not think that we can get better than what we just listened to. But, boy, we sure did.
Speaker 4:
All right.
Nathan Mumm:
Let's start our main segment Tech Times. Help for the holidays.
Ody:
I want to get the bottom of the Christmas.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, now we're getting into what do you got for us.
Mike Gorday:
All right.
Nathan Mumm:
Here's what we're going to go through a bunch of items you can get for under a hundred dollars. We got to. Of course, we got to start out the holiday season with a touch of magic, with the introduction of Santa GPT. Imagine a Christmas where every gift is perfectly matched. The confusion becomes a thing of the past because open A I is latest creation is set to make the vision a reality, promising the festival season filled with joy and seamless gift giving. However, there's a twist. Only a select group of individuals will be exclusively allowed to use Santa GPT.
Mike Gorday:
Well, okay, so what kind is it?
Nathan Mumm:
Well, well, well, well, this is gonna be. It's a Christmas miracle. Open AI, known for its ground breaking miracle, artificial intelligence, is once again work. Just imagine Santa GPT is essentially cutting edge leading model with festival cheer that's gonna go out to those that are paying for their premium program services and will be selectively used for those people. Now it's a Christmas miracle powered by the latest advancements in AI technology.
Nathan Mumm:
Now, who gets the golden ticket? The anticipation builds, you know, the Willy Wonka golden ticket. As we wonder who'll be the lucky ones to experience the magic of Santa GPT Open AI is carefully created a list of individuals who will get exclusive privileges on using this digital companion.
Nathan Mumm:
So, criteria for selection remains shrouded in mystery, adding an element of excitement for the holiday season. Now, the chosen ones, the suspended. Essentially, it will be able to use open AI's miraculous new Santa GPT firsthand, unveiling the choices that they have to celebrate the excitement. Now, essentially, it's a wish list wizard. Santa GPT operates as a wish list wizard, using advance algorithms to analyze and decipher the most complex desires of the people you're shopping for. It's ability to understand and interpret wish lists with precision ensures that every gift is perfectly matched with the holiday season's truly magical. Essentially, conversations will engage on the Santa GPT to understand each of the people you're shopping for, Kind of like the real Santa Claus.
Nathan Mumm:
So you're going to put in people's names and you tie up a bunch of information about them. So Open AI has all this information about your family.
Mike Gorday:
So you spy on people and give them the AI and then the Santa GPT says go buy them this. That's exactly correct.
Nathan Mumm:
Now Santa GPT is not just for Christmas. After the Christmas season, essentially, open AI is going to come out with this idea of having gift giving processes for your loved ones. So this is essentially the beta demo of using Santa GPT. And then there's going to be Valentine's GPT and there's going to be Fourth of July GPT, so essentially you can buy everything for everybody. They have come over, although the Fourth of July, once you see it's beer, fireworks and meat. I mean, that's the only thing you need for a good take there.
Nathan Mumm:
All right Now, technology gifts for the ones that you love. I went through a list of eight different gifts to give away.
Mike Gorday:
Are these perfect gifts for people on chat?
Nathan Mumm:
GPT these are perfect gifts for the nerds that are out there Under 100 bucks. Under 100 bucks? Okay, Across the internet. Now we're going to just talk about the items. You can find them either on Amazon, Best Buy, but if you just put in the names of them, you'll be able to find them for the prices I'm talking about.
Mike Gorday:
So you're Santa GPT.
Nathan Mumm:
I'm Santa GPT right now. I actually had to do the research. I wish Santa.
Ody:
GPT did this, it would have saved me a lot of time, all right.
Nathan Mumm:
So if you're looking for a Nixie Tube clock a vintage inspired clock that uses the glowing tubes to display the time perfectly retro enthusiast and the lovers of steampunk, it's available all over the internet right now, on time for delivery for 58 bucks.

I'm talking about your boys. I'm talking about your boys. They never water their plants. The first thing that come to my mind when you say your boys not plants. Well, let's see, you know what? They all have plants. Oh do they?
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah they have aloe vera plants and other plants of choice, and what? Ends up happening and they all become a certain color of brown and black, as they don't get water.

And now let's look back at this Week in Technology.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, we're going to go back to December 9th 1968. Douglas Engelbert was an American engineer and inventor and early computer and internet pioneer. He is best known for his work on founding the field of human computer interactions, particularly while at his Augmentation Research Center Lab at SRR National, which resulted in the creation of the computer mouse. His team and researchers presented a 90-minute public technology demonstration including such interventions as hypertext, which is essentially text. When you click on it, it goes to a location Video conferencing. This is back in again 1968. Video conferencing was an aspect that they were looking at and the first public demonstration of a computer mouse. Essentially, a thousand individuals were at hand to see the public demonstration and attendance to see all of this technology from his SRR International Nonprofit Organization that still operates today.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, that was this Week in Technology. If you ever wanted to watch some Tech Time History, with over 180 weekly broadcasts spanning three plus years of video, podcast and blog information, you can visit techtimeradiocom to watch our older shows or join the Tech Timers Facebook group to talk with us live all the time. We're going to take a commercial break. When we return we have Mark's Whiskey Mumble and our Technology Fail of the Week and hopefully our Nathan Nugget about AI Geese. We'll see you after the break.

Speaker 3:
The segment we've been waiting all week for Mark's Whiskey Mumble.
Mike Gorday:
You know what's funny about this? What's that? We're all waiting for Mark to talk about liquor.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah.
Mike Gorday:
And we talk about technology. That's right, that's right. There you go. Why is that funny I think it's funny because it's a tech show.
Ody:
Yeah, are you just now realizing this?
Mike Gorday:
No.
Nathan Mumm:
I'm just pointing it out.
Mike Gorday:
I'm just being kept in obvious right now, fantastic.
Nathan Mumm:
You know, if you're also looking for Christmas gift, you can get the Threads of Chaos by J Michael Gorday it's available on Amazon and print Back copy right here. You can get it all taken care of. I got some of my buddy over there on the side. It's the Book of the South. There you go, yeah.
Ody:
Okay, mark.
Nathan Mumm:
Mark's like what the heck?
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, Mark's like a little bit isolated right now.
Marc Gregoire:
Well, before we get to the whiskey, today is a very special day. Okay, in the world of whiskey. Oh, it is National bourbon day. Oh, not quite National. If it wasn't for today, we wouldn't be drinking today. Oh, really. Oh, this was national Prohibition.
Oh, I get it now. I get it now, it was clever, okay, yeah.
Marc Gregoire:
So back in 1933, the United States ended the 13-year experiment with increasing unpopular nationwide prohibition of alcohol.
Nathan Mumm:
It's essentially. I mean, the underground market was just flooding with this alcohol. Right this?
Mike Gorday:
is the origin of organized crime in America.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah, it's the prohibition act, it's the illegal stuff that was underneath. Okay, keep on going.
Marc Gregoire:
Okay, it's National Repeal Day today, perfect. So now, during prohibition, the consumption of alcohol was illegal, except, you know, it was kind of glamorized by the speakeasies which gave it the dangerous flapper-style glamor. So, nathan, yes. If you own any flapper-style costumes, this is the day to pull it out of the month.
Nathan Mumm:
Oh, I do. I have like two of them at home. There you go.
Mike Gorday:
I really don't want to see that. Thanks, Mark.
Nathan Mumm:
I'll take a picture and send it to you later tonight.
Mike Gorday:
No, don't.
Marc Gregoire:
All right let's talk about the whiskey. Yes, remus, repeal Reserrers. Series 6, is named after the famed Chicago attorney, george Remus. George Remus found some loopholes in the National Prohibition Act, known informally as the Volstead Act, and moves to Cincinnati, ohio, to set up his infire. He'll be known as the king of the bootleggers due to his high standards in distributing the finest bourbon of the era. Remus is sometimes credited as a direct inspiration for the Great Gatsby. Oh, okay, now, nathan, don't get too enamored with him, because I know how you get man crushes. I do. Yeah, he was not a good guy and I'm actually a bit disappointed that something like this would be named after him. Oh no, so, with that said, I do find this bourbon to be delicious.
Mike Gorday:
It is.
Marc Gregoire:
It's very balanced, delivers both those fruit flavors in oak and harmony with virtually no bite. Now it is a blend of five and they're pretty much high-rise bourbons. So I'm thinking Mike might find it a bit too bitey and burning. For him, not sure, but for me it's a fantastic bourbon hitting all the right spots.
Nathan Mumm:
It's fantastic. It's probably some of the best bourbon that I've had, Is it? Are you having a problem with it, Mike, or are you liking?
Mike Gorday:
it. Oh no, you don't get that right. No, burn, no.
Marc Gregoire:
Because I get more on this one than that.
Mike Gorday:
Last week.
Marc Gregoire:
Last week I just Than our Malta Dry, which is much more smooth and toned down, that's good, this is fantastic.
Nathan Mumm:
I'm just getting some high-end stuff here. This is a thank you for the Christmas gift mark. I appreciate that All right. Well, now you know what Whiskey and technology is such a great pairing, just like the pairing of Santa Claus and reindeer. You can't have one without the other, right.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, you can.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, now let's get ready for our technology fail of the week. We are out of time. Congratulations, you're a failure.
Speaker 8:
Oh.
Marc Gregoire:
I failed. Did I yes, did I yes.
Speaker 9:
Did I.
Speaker 10:
Yes.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. So do you use Google Maps there, mike? Do you use Google Maps when you drive around? Yeah, I do, you do. Okay, well, let me just tell you Google Maps faster route sends F1 fans to the desert and all cars get stuck. If you need evidence of blindly trusting Google Maps, it's never a good idea. Here's a story of several Formula One fans who ended up in the middle of the desert after following the fastest route suggested by the app.
Nathan Mumm:
Shelby Easler revealed on TikTok how she was heading back to Los Angeles after the Formula One race in Las Vegas, only to be rerouted by Google Maps to avoid a dust storm on Interstate 15. According to Google Maps, the new route would save them 50 minutes, so the driver decided to follow the app's suggestion and leave the Interstate. They were not alone, as a video on TikTok shows a long line of vehicles going to the same route, likely using the same Google Maps. The only problem was the route was a road surface. The unpaved road was going through the middle of the unexplored desert, so it wasn't necessarily a surprise when the convoy eventually came across, while donkeys Some cars following the route didn't feel comfortable on the off-road terrain, so the drivers got stuck.
Nathan Mumm:
Google Maps even lost the GPS positioning, showing their location in the middle of nowhere, away from the suggested route. It was the time, then, for people to start calling 911, because a bunch of people were stuck in the desert. It couldn't be any good news, she says. The 911 dispatcher told the group that the police were busy dealing with the craziness on the highway, so their next option was to call for roadside assistance. They still had waited several hours in the forest until the towing company reached the stranded vehicles. They got towed and brought back to Las Vegas when they received the necessary repairs before going home. Even the suggested faster route doesn't always pay off, as they ended up spending more time in traffic, putting their lives at risk and eventually going back to where they started the journey in the first place.
Mike Gorday:
You know, something similar happened to me in June. All right, what was that? I went to Eastern Washington and ended up going. I took the wrong exit. It routed me through all this farmland and I was going through all through these dirt roads and stuff.
Nathan Mumm:
And Google didn't work right, all right.
Mike Gorday:
Okay, well, now.
Nathan Mumm:
I got another question to follow that up with Mike. Let's move to your mesmerizing moment. This is Mike's mesmerizing moment, presented by Story Coffee. Visit StoryCoffeecom. All right, thank you. So here you are, out in the middle of no Man's Land. Did you stop and ask someone for directions?
Mike Gorday:
No, there was nobody out there.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, let's say you are driving and you get lost. Do you stop and go into a gas station and ask somebody for directions? Why is that? Explain the psychology to me.
Mike Gorday:
Do you want to know my personal reason? Sure, Because you know I really don't get good directions from people, because I actually did that in Georgia once. I stopped and asked for directions and I got the most inane thing to get me to where I wanted to go, and it consisted of you go down there and you turn, you go in there and then you stop and then you turn.
Nathan Mumm:
You go to the diner and you take a left and then you go to the end of the road.
Mike Gorday:
And there it is. That was the directions I got from some guy.
Nathan Mumm:
So now you say that you just don't ask for directions.
Mike Gorday:
I just don't know, because you think everybody's going to say that, well, google provides me with my needs, but you know, this is a topic that's always been in the sphere of direction. Actually, who often will not ask for directions?
Ody:
Mostly, the men. It's mostly men.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, and part of that. There's two parts of that. Part of that is an ego driven thing. We don't want to appear weak Okay, if that makes sense. So we want to appear like we're in control and we know what's going on. The second piece of that is actually more genetic. Men typically have a better spatial awareness of where they are in space.
Nathan Mumm:
Oh, that's exactly what I need to remember, okay.
Mike Gorday:
So they tend to know how to get to places.
Nathan Mumm:
Without having to ask, without having to ask, perfect, perfect.
Mike Gorday:
Perfect, perfect. So they're forced to ask for directions. They're having an ego struggle, all right.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, that was our Mike's mesmerizing moment. Looks like we're out of time so we didn't get to our Nathan and Nega. We'll have to get to that next week. But I think we have time for, of course, our pick of the day, we're not going to talk about the geese.
Speaker 3:
And now our pick of the day for our whiskey tastings. Let's see what bubbles to the top.
Marc Gregoire:
All right, what do we have here, mark? We have Remus Repio Reserve Series 6 Bourbon from Luxco MGP Straight Bourbon blend of five of them, nine to 15 years old, 100 proof and roughly $100.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, I'm absolutely. I already said this from the first taste, this is a thumbs up for me.
Mike Gorday:
Thumbs up, thumbs up.
Nathan Mumm:
I'm not going to. There's no hesitation. This is phenomenal. This is really good.
Mike Gorday:
It's got a great taste, good finish. I don't have the burn that I normally do with rice.
Nathan Mumm:
Is this on the top of your shelf? That's the most important thing. Well, yeah.
Marc Gregoire:
It's our Deco label, and so I have all the pretty ones up on the top shelf, okay.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, you know, we want to thank everybody for listening to our show today.
Mike Gorday:
We will see you next week. We will see you next week. First amendment on the 23rd.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, All right. Remember the science of tomorrow starts with the technology of today. See you next week. Bye-bye.
