Nathan Mumm:
I'm Nathan Mum, your host, a technologist with over 30 years of technology expertise working for Fortune 500 companies across the country. Today in studio we have co -host Mike Rodea makes, an award winning author. Originally from Arizona, he is a human behavior expert living in the Seattle area with a master's degree in forensic psychology. Mike's here to keep me from geeking out while providing insight into human behavior and how to interact with technologies. We are friends from different backgrounds, but bring the best technology show possible every week for our family, friends and fans to enjoy, with our producer, odie, running the board, let's start today's show.
Nathan Mumm:
Today on Tech Time with Nathan Mum. A major gaming event recently received the game over screen as it shuts down a 20 plus year event. We explore how AI technology will allow metro buses to spot bus lane violators, and MetaNOW automatically encrypts Facebook and Messenger messages. Now I would think that this would be a good thing, but, oh my world, this is a big story of what we're going to talk about encryption or not encryption and so there's a very passionate group of people that are very upset with now having encrypted messages on Facebook and Messenger.
Mike Gorday:
Well, in today's society, you can't even throw a stone without hitting somebody who's upset about something.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah, I think this is really going to be good for the psychology because it's all about it gets predators. So now, since it's encrypted message, there's some predators that now they can have encrypted message. We'll talk about that in our story. It's going to be pretty interesting. You're going to like that. Next, we'll examine what happens when a company changes its terms of service before it announces a breach. As we dive into the 23andMe breach of 7 million customers DNA Now, james Riddle predicted this nine months ago on our show that he was really scared about all these places that collected DNA because one of these times they were going to be compromised.
Nathan Mumm:
And 23andMe was just compromised. And not only are they compromised, but then they try to screw the customers out on top of it. Yeah, we're going to be talking about that. And then in our future segment, gwen Way is here to talk about our last gadget of the year, so hopefully this is the winner of all the gadgets in our gadgets and gear segment. And how artificial intelligence can now ID individual geese on the Nathan nugget? If we have time to get to that, we're going to be talking about the AI. Well, we'll probably have some time today, plus, we will end the show with our new 12 days of AI tech times musical masterpiece. This is going to be exciting to do.
Mike Gorday:
So we did the 12 days of.
Nathan Mumm:
Twitter miss last year.
Mike Gorday:
Your definition of masterpieces needs to be this is absolutely a masterpiece, so don't leave early.
Nathan Mumm:
You're going to want to listen all the way through, to listen to that beautiful singing segment that we have for everybody. In addition, of course, we have our standard features, including Mike's mesmerizing moment, our technology fail the weekend, the Nathan nugget regarding the AI and geese. So now sit back and raise a glass and welcome to tech time radio. As always, we have our pick of the day whiskey tasting during the commercials to see if our selected whiskey pick of the day gets 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 5:
Here are our top technology stories of the week.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, E three once the world's largest gaming convention is officially dead. Have you heard about E three, right?
Mike Gorday:
Sure.
Nathan Mumm:
That's I mean. It's been over 20 years. The largest gaming convention is now dead. We got Tom Geiken, our own tech time correspondent, with more on the story.
Speaker 6:
After years of troubles, the gaming world's premier showcase calls it quits. Today the entertainment software association announced that E three, once the biggest video game showcase on the planet, is officially dead. President and CEO Stanley Pierre Lewis said we know it's difficult to say goodbye to such a beloved event, but it's the right thing to do, given the new opportunities our industry has to reach fans and partners. After more than two decades of E three, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye, said the entertainment software association in a statement on the E three website. Thanks for the memories, with the final posting announcement followed by GGWP Gamers speak for good game well played. It seems. All good things must come to an end. Back to you guys in the studio.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, so E three I mean. So we're going to go and talk just a little bit about E three's history. I mean, this is where you would get your gaming news. All the new consoles were shown there. All the new games that were coming on out would be shown there. Essentially, after the pandemic, with the pandemic hit, they decided to shut down E three, with this for all the large conventions. Right, they did this for a CES, they did this for any other large event, but essentially what's happened is, during the pandemic, large corporations like Nintendo and Sony decided to reduce their presence or pull completely out and instead host their own special hyper controlled events and release. Microsoft does a release now of all their new Xbox games and what happens? Sony does this also. So, instead of them being a conglomerate where everybody was announcing new games, now no one for themselves.
Nathan Mumm:
No one wants to go to any of that. After a rocky couple of years, E three has officially come to a close. What's interesting here? It goes all the way back. E three gave us the world when its first greatest video game. When, in 1995, Sony showcased its premier PlayStation console that would cost a hundred less than, at that time, the Sega Saturn. Remember the Sega Saturn? So that was the big push. So this so it.
Mike Gorday:
I remember how quickly it left the market it did, so it came in.
Nathan Mumm:
at least the Dreamcast lasted a little bit longer.
Mike Gorday:
But not too much.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah, and then in 2017, ubisoft essentially broken the tears when the Mario plus Rabbids Kingdom Battle was released and essentially the developer praised the game on having the combined with Nintendo and other IPs. It's kind of was the beginning of Smash Brothers. You see, smash Brothers now, where you have all the Nintendo IPs, fight against each other. That was kind of the very first thing, and then it has some pretty funny situations that happened, if you remember, back in 2006, a Sony executive stood awkwardly on stage while his poor PSP, the PlayStation Portable, struggled to load up and he exclaimed the game that he was playing was Ridge Racer, with little reaction from the audience. Or in 2007, nintendo of America president got on stage to showcase the we Balance Board and right before stepping on it, he shrugged and told everyone my body is ready. So it was like a real odd quote, and so all you're supposed to do is get on this to do balancing and show that it had a meme.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah, so absolutely.
Mike Gorday:
All your face are now belong to us.
Nathan Mumm:
That's right. So E3 is officially closed. Las Vegas lost a big weekend because that was their big weekend for the gaming industry. I'm sure they'll replace it with something else.
Mike Gorday:
You lost it. You lost it for your weekend.
Nathan Mumm:
And you know what? I will be forever disappointed. I was sad when they shut down Comdex for CES and when these large events happen and they shut them down. Rest in peace.
Mike Gorday:
Rest in pieces.
Nathan Mumm:
There you are, here you go. Story number two.
Mike Gorday:
Okay, we're gonna talk a little bit about some new AI that will allow Metro buses to spot lane violators and report to traffic enforcement. Okay. A brand new artificial intelligence powered system will allow cameras on Metro buses to target and ticket drivers illegally using bus lanes in Los Angeles.
Nathan Mumm:
This sounds like those evil cameras that they have that catch you running the red light cameras, the red light cameras that you rage against. Oh, I hate those. I hate those. See, why don't they always put them on a corner when you should get a free right hand turn? But okay, yeah.
Mike Gorday:
Yes, because you try to do rolling stops, okay, so let's talk about the AI here.
Nathan Mumm:
This must be better than that, right.
Mike Gorday:
Well, the system, similar to those already in place in San Francisco, washington DC, which will use 100 cameras programmed with AI technology placed in bus windshields, will specifically be looking for offenders using the lanes during posted times, when they're specifically supposed to be for bus use only. We've told the system that, using the AI, that if a vehicle is parked in a certain location, then the image of that vehicle should be captured it said Charles Torrito with Hayden AI, the driving force behind the programming and image of that license plate should be captured. At that point, the images will be sent to parking enforcement for review, but only for bus lane violations. And what bus stop violation?
Mike Gorday:
All right the program comes as a result of a bill passed by California lawmakers in 2021. California is like one of the most Progressive, with the heavily Legislated states in the entire you and.
Nathan Mumm:
But they are the only what? They're the only State that has driverless cars too. So like they embrace technology, then they tax the hell out of it. What's that they're?
Mike Gorday:
confused.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, and then. Then they don't like new stuff, and they do like new stuff. Yeah, well but what's the fine of this if you get caught?
Mike Gorday:
250 bucks if you are parking in a bus loading zone okay. And that's all that I have. Okay? The law requires that all images taken should be destroyed after a certain amount of time. For those where a ticket is not issued, the image must be deleted with 15 days and within 60 days if a ticket is issued. We'll see how this plays out in the coming months.
Nathan Mumm:
So so if I've never actually driven in the bus lane and I've done some other things, that I watch people do it. You do that, okay. So are you kind of for this, or you're kind of happy that they're gonna catch those? Then, yeah, this is this?
Mike Gorday:
is there's so many facets to these kind of questions that it Do you get upset when you see people using the bus lane.
Nathan Mumm:
Probably not the bus lane, the HOV lane. About HOV, yeah, the multi passenger idea drives me nuts when when?
Mike Gorday:
because and this is basic to it right, I'm following the rules and I'm being penalized somebody who's not following the rules, get away with it.
Nathan Mumm:
Correct, okay, and so if they're gonna do this in bus lanes, they should do this for HOV lanes. Do then.
Mike Gorday:
Well, they right. You want to have cameras scanning all the.
Nathan Mumm:
So if you have camera scanning all the time, which I think they already do, if you already have, if you just decide to put those in place, then put those in place and then you'll actually capture the people and Put the fines to the UK.
Mike Gorday:
Uses CCTV for everything.
Speaker 3:
Yes, I mean you can't.
Mike Gorday:
You can't even scratch your nose without somebody seeing it. I was are you okay with that level of of Well?
Nathan Mumm:
are we getting there? Naturally, I was just talking with my wife today. We talked about this. Do you understand how many ring cameras and other cameras the consumer-based Cameras are now installed across people's property.
Mike Gorday:
The government doesn't need to do anything they can just tap into all of those, they would have to do it illegally. Okay, yeah, right, yeah, because you know they. They have to have a warrant for Utilizing or permission from the owner to you utilize those things. They can't just say, oh there's a ring camera here, let's hack into that and get the information. Are you sure? If you're not paying for a web-based service and I was on, you know, put it out there.
Mike Gorday:
This is all complicated Privacy issues that are ongoing with these types of situations. Okay, so you know, do I think this is a good thing? Maybe for California, it is because they're always looking for ways to make more money. How's that? That could be.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. Did you have something to say there, odie?
Mike Gorday:
Well, what is that? What is that thing that cops do, that they have cause? Probable cause yeah, what if they just?
Speaker 4:
have probable cause to hack into the whatever. Well, what if you?
Nathan Mumm:
have a terms of service that you've already decided to give away, like we did with the cars right, I bought a car. If I buy a car I give away that right.
Mike Gorday:
You know we can argue about all the stuff that the government can get away with all day long. Okay, and it's not gonna change anything we are. We are in a place where there are things that are far beyond our control to Deal with, or even, in some cases, imagine. I don't think. Most people I mean in fact Nobody really knows what the internet really is.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, All we know.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, we don't know the depths of it.
Nathan Mumm:
We talk a little bit about it in the dark web. And then there's the deep way.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, there's all this stuff going on, that that we really don't know what's going on. Okay, Okay, all right.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. Now you like encryption? Right, that's what you just said you like encryption. I didn't say that I think you said you liked encryption.
Mike Gorday:
So I think you're just putting words in my mouth. All right, you can have an argument. Let's go to story number three.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, let's do meta defaults Facebook and Messenger to end-to-end encryption, despite child safety concerns. Let's get more from the story from our correspondent, jennifer Lansing on the on this.
Speaker 3:
Metta now defaults Facebook and Messenger to end-to-end encryption, but this has child safety concerns. Child safety advocates have railed against making such encryption more widespread. Warning it will hamper efforts to crack down on abuse and illegal content. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Called the announcement a devastating blow to child protection. On Wednesday, new Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres announced that his office was suing the company, calling Facebook and Instagram breeding grounds for predators targeting children.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, so let's talk about this. So Metta said Wednesday. The end-to-end encryption is now the default setting for messages for calls on Messenger and Facebook to the most widely Losed apps on the internet. But people are not happy with that because essentially they're concerned about child safety and this is the first time I've ever heard meta is really concerned about child.
Mike Gorday:
They're not, but other groups are.
Nathan Mumm:
They're saying that essentially by doing the end-to-end encryption, that meta will then allow people to blow up the idea of child Pornography.
Mike Gorday:
Child my first question is why are they doing this now?
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, so that okay, oh, wow, so we're on the kind of the same page. That was exactly my idea. I didn't understand why there was such a controversy on this and why so many people are worried about it, because Right now, if they're doing it, they're still doing it and there is no encryption and people can come on in and Facebook can flag it and In say hey, hey, is that way for forever, forever, ever, for since 2000 since 1990, I don't know when.
Nathan Mumm:
Facebook was created in 1998, 1999, something like that, I don't know. But now groups are concerned for digital crime. Now it's interesting that meta says that they still have a way if they rolled out their encryption. They still track people that are having bad conversations, so now? So now let me ask you is it really that encryption, or is it encryption so this?
Mike Gorday:
is what many goes away with saying who's it encrypted against?
Nathan Mumm:
well, it's encrypted against everybody else stealing it, except for meta, because you're on their platform and using it. So if they want to go on in and take a look at what you're saying, they could have the right to do that, because it's their platform and you're using that platform in itself. So it's not really end-to-end encryption so that it can be just not viewed by anybody. It's so that hackers can't jump in when I'm transmitting my messages back and forth.
Mike Gorday:
Okay, so is Meta have a problem with this already? Do they already have a bunch of hackers stealing into end messages?
Nathan Mumm:
Well, I, so they already had this feature available, but you had to go on in and check. No, no, no, it wasn't by default, so yeah, I'm talking about meta Doing this by default.
Mike Gorday:
for what reason? So that only they can have the information? Or Are they covering up a Problem that nobody really knows about right now? Well, I think it's so.
Nathan Mumm:
So I have a little device and the little device I have. They have a little device that can capture Wi-Fi traffic. It can capture a bunch of other Different devices on one of our gadgets and gears. We talked about it as one of our items to get.
Mike Gorday:
I know and you have used it a lot.
Nathan Mumm:
So I Think what they're trying to do is they're trying to prevent me, if I'm sitting in there and you're having a conversation that's not encrypted, stealing that conversation. But they're not saying that they're gonna necessarily not look at the conversation or not have legalities to look at it, because when you sign your terms of Conditions to use their software, you already give them the rights of anything that you post on there for them to take a look at. So I don't know why there's so many people up in arms, unless they don't quite understand what encryption means and what you're gonna do to capture that.
Mike Gorday:
Okay, so Meta is not what I would consider a noble source of information. Okay yeah. You know they have the ability to do this.
Nathan Mumm:
I don't really think I sell their information to the government.
Mike Gorday:
I don't really think they're going to be out there checking up on people and making sure that they're being nice on their encrypted speeches.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, okay, so you know that so they're not policing which they To me they don't have a whole police force to police it to begin with.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, so I think I don't know Just-.
Nathan Mumm:
So are you for encryption or are you not for encryption?
Mike Gorday:
I'm for it because it's just gonna protect the would-be hackers. When I'm sending messages, I want it to be encrypted, but probably, like most people, when somebody some bad actor is using it, I don't want them to be able to use it. That's how we think. You know that's the root of some of these arguments is that I want it for me because I use it responsibly, but for those that don't use it responsibly or who are doing bad things, I don't want it for them.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, kind of like the bad people on the bus lanes in the HIV light.
Mike Gorday:
This is all part and parcel to the-.
Nathan Mumm:
Human psychology.
Mike Gorday:
Confusing-.
Nathan Mumm:
What Confusing-.
Mike Gorday:
Rights of privacy versus legal and-. There you go, Right. Massive ways of transmitting information. Okay, well-.
Nathan Mumm:
So we spent a lot so we spent oh, there's a lot of psychology in our stories today, except for E3, that it was the announcement, the other thing. Both of those have some plus and minus. I did not understand the outcry against encryption until I started doing the articles and I was like oh, my gosh, there's so much for it.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, well, that makes sense. There's going to be, because it does protect people who are using it wrongly, and I really doubt Metta's going to be doing anything about it. They can say all they want, but we have shown over and over. Is it their job to please? We have shown over and over again in the past that Metta does not care about your children.
Nathan Mumm:
No, they care about a social media.
Mike Gorday:
They don't care about your child's safety, and neither does X and-.
Nathan Mumm:
Any of these other software services that are free.
Mike Gorday:
They want your information. That's how they make money and the more you use it. It doesn't matter how the and all your little child's safety features. They're always work around. So you know it's bogus.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, that's what happens when you get free software. All right. Well, that ends our top technology stories of the week. Moving on, we have Gwen Wade joining us for our Gads and Seniors segment after the commercial break. You will not want to miss this segment. You're listening to Tech Time with Nathan Mum.

Nathan Mumm:
Welcome back to Tech Time with Nathan Mum. Tech Time's a weekly hour technology show that talks about current technology in a simple format. With that afternoon geek out brought to you by myself, Nathan Mum and Micro Day, we just had our first whiskey tasting during the break. And now let me tell you about what we are sipping in our pick of the day During the show. Today we have chosen Blockhead Popcorn Peanut Caramel Whiskey. Wow, that's a nameful there. Blockhead Popcorn Peanut Caramel Whiskey 74 proof, 24.99. Now, this is from Blockhead's website. There's no excuse for pineapple on a pizza, but some pairings are only strange until they aren't. Blockhead showcases the delicious flavor of caramel popcorn for a whiskey like no other, A new type of flavored whiskey made by distributors for distributors. The company is Blockhead Spirits. No information on what this is. The point. Distillery is essentially in somewhere in Florida not known, and this is all information from Mark Gregoire that is not here today it's classification is a flavored whiskey.
Nathan Mumm:
Again, it's 74 proof. Mashbills unknown. Aging's unknown 24.99. You put in here to note. There is no secondary market for this type of whiskey, yeah so what was your first taste of it?
Mike Gorday:
I don't wanna give away what I'm thinking, but it was gross. It was gross.
Nathan Mumm:
I didn't mind it that much. It's just got a cork top. I mean, these are high qualities for me, right.
Mike Gorday:
I think we're pretty all aware of your tastes.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah, but I wasn't the one that bought this, though I know you bought this. I bought this. You were excited about this?
Mike Gorday:
I was not excited about it. No, you were pretty excited about it.
Nathan Mumm:
I just saw it and said no, you brought it out of your car when you pulled up and you showed it to me and you're really excited about it. You were pretty happy about it.
Mike Gorday:
Right Shut up.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, All right. Well, there you go. What was that I?
Mike Gorday:
bought it for a joke. Oh, did you. This was a joke.
Nathan Mumm:
I can't wait to see you finish the whole class. Yeah, I thought I'm not going to finish.
Mike Gorday:
I think I'm done tasting it.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, all right. I remember when I left some Canadian MIS for Gwen.
Mike Gorday:
That's even. That's, mis, okay.
Nathan Mumm:
With our first whiskey tasting complete. Let's move on to our feature segment. Today we have Gwen Wade joining the show. She's an expert in cybersecurity during the day and a Game Board geek in the evening. Producer of Tech Time Radio and our Gadgets and Gear gal. Let's get ready to start on our Comcast video stream Gadgets and Gear.
Speaker 5:
What's new in our Gadgets and Gear.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, Gwen. Welcome to the show today, Hi Gwen.
Gwen Way:
Thank you, happy to be back.
Nathan Mumm:
We're always happy to have you. Okay, so we have a subject that popped up during our production meeting last night that I wanted to talk to you about Our production meeting. You know what I would love to tape our production meetings.
Mike Gorday:
Our production well you don't want to do that they are hilarious.
Nathan Mumm:
We have some great discussions that we talk about. We go on tansons a lot yeah, we do. I mean it's like a potpourri of exciting technology news and other crazy stuff.
Mike Gorday:
You just wanted to use potpourri in a sentence, didn't you? Yeah, that's probably true.
Nathan Mumm:
I got a palethrah of those for the rest of the day.
Mike Gorday:
No, no, no, you do not have a palethrah. All right, you have a definition.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, so you work for a cybersecurity company and as best practice for your company, Apple, today. Well, last night announced emergency update fixes, recently called zero day fixes, for older phones. Now can you explain to listeners what is a zero day breach, since you work in this all the time, Can you kind of explain that to the before we get into our gadgets and gear?
Gwen Way:
I'd be happy to. This is something that I talk about with my customers fairly regularly and I think it's important to get out there. A zero day breach is one where consumers and professionals are unaware of the vulnerability until it is breached. So it's that magical thing that some random hacker finds and takes advantage of and then the rest of us are scrambling to protect ourselves against.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, so there's not a whole lot you can really do to protect yourselves against a zero day Just when they come on out with. The best process is what To do the updates and be ready to go from there.
Gwen Way:
Exactly, and I always recommend that you run your updates, especially critical security patches, when they are available. It used to be about two or three years ago that you wanted to wait a week or two see if there were any problems with the patches, but at this point they've got a lot of those worked out and you're much more likely to run into problems if you don't patch quickly.
Nathan Mumm:
That's right Now, patch today, patch every day.
Mike Gorday:
Tuesdays is the microsoft's message. That's all it is. That's all I deal with all day long.
Nathan Mumm:
That's right. You just get a new patch. That's why. But if you're not in, the tech industry.
Mike Gorday:
Just to let you know, I'm not in the tech industry but, I have to deal with patches all the time. Yeah.
Nathan Mumm:
Yes, but your IT people may be a little shoddy too. We've talked about them a little bit, right? I mean, they're nice people, I'm sure, but they have some different processes and policies.
Mike Gorday:
Well, possibly Okay. I just know that my work life is not the only place I have to deal with that. That's okay. At home, you have to probably deal with them. I have to deal with that all the time at home.
Nathan Mumm:
I had to deal with a C of Thieves upgrade last night. That took like three hours. Okay, All right. So let's get under our gadgets and gear. Now. We're going to talk about a device that you pitched at the meeting, and it was phenomenal. Kind of reminds me of the Jelly of the Month gift that keeps on giving all year long. Now, do you know? The Jelly of the Month club is?
Mike Gorday:
The National Lampoon's Christmas season. Yeah, you sit around trying to figure these things out don't you?
Nathan Mumm:
No, I think it's come to the top of your head.
Mike Gorday:
Always trying to find some sort of reference to something that's very that's right, that's right. That's really thin.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. So what do we have on the docket today for our gadgets and gear?
Gwen Way:
Well, the thought behind this one is we're midway through the holiday season, we're coming up on New Year's Eve, where everybody is going to start making their Making their plans and improving themselves.
Nathan Mumm:
They're New Year's resolutions that last for a week, right. 12 days, 12 days, 12 days, 12 days.
Mike Gorday:
Yep 12 days of resolutions.
Gwen Way:
Here's something that might bump that to at least 15.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, all right.
Gwen Way:
This is called the Aura Ring, spelled O-U-R-A, and it's technology that is already available. In fact, my husband has an Aura Ring himself and uses it daily, loves it.
Nathan Mumm:
And he loves it, which is kind of good, because we were talking about this at a production meeting. He was in the background saying this is awesome, so it was pretty good to have him there. So what does this device do, basically? And then, is it better than a smart phone or a smart watch or any of these type of deals? So explain what this device does.
Gwen Way:
So basically what this device does is it kind of takes the place of a smart watch or a Fitbit or anything like that that actually keeps track of you. It counts your steps, it checks your heart rate to make sure that it's not going too fast or too slow. It even monitors your sleeping to make sure that you are sleeping optimally.
Nathan Mumm:
Oh, okay Now, and so, instead of it being a watch, this is an actual ring that fits on your finger Exactly.
Gwen Way:
And you can wear it on any finger that you want to.
Nathan Mumm:
I guess I can put on your toes too.
Gwen Way:
So where do you?
Nathan Mumm:
wear your rings. I was just thinking Okay, on your fingers.
Gwen Way:
They do recommend either the ring finger or your index finger, because those are the best places to take your pulse Okay, and to monitor your sleep. Okay, but basically, you charge it up, it put it on, walk around, sleep, whatever. You've got an app on your phone that you can download the data from and you can actually go through and take a look at your performance, figure out where you need to improve and do so.
Mike Gorday:
How long does the battery?
Nathan Mumm:
last. That's exactly where I was going. Good job, Mike. How long does that battery last?
Gwen Way:
David ends up charging his about every three to four days.
Nathan Mumm:
Oh, that's not bad in today's world.
Gwen Way:
That's like an old Blackberry.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. So three or four days you can leave it on, because my Apple watch if I don't charge it nightly, I can get through about a day and a half, so they can't track your sleep because it's sleeping. No, it's right next to me, so it does not track my sleep at all. Exactly, all right, so you get about three or four days of at least David's usage. Now. Does David keep it on all the time then?
Gwen Way:
He wears it all the time. He takes it off in the morning when he takes a shower charges it then and then Okay, about 30 to 45 minutes, it gets a full charge.
Mike Gorday:
He puts it on when he needs it for days. That's a long shower.
Nathan Mumm:
Hey, you know what Showers are relaxing. You actually get in you know I get you, I get you, wow. So this is the cost, and can I get this in time for the holidays if I want to get one of these right now?
Gwen Way:
You certainly can. You can buy it from Amazon. You can buy it from Best Buy. I think Target has it now as well. I went ahead and looked up some of the prices. They average out. Your base model Is it about $300? Okay, and the top of the line is 550, which for a ring and for a smart device, that's pretty reasonable. That's what you're considered.
Nathan Mumm:
Now. So let me ask you this Does it have tracking ability on the ring itself? Does it actually GPS track you?
Gwen Way:
If you lose it, no Okay.
Nathan Mumm:
Wow, okay. So that would actually be something worth, because I keep on hearing about these rings that track you, and then you'd have it wherever you go and be like, oh, that'd be so Okay, okay.
Gwen Way:
This doesn't track you so kind of like a smart watch. Yeah, you can get away from people. Also, you can get messages on it or take calls on it. So you know there's pluses and minuses.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, you know, that is kind of nice. You don't have to see it answering your ring. You might hit your ring. Hello, hello, you know like a little James Bond type of deal.
Speaker 3:
Okay, what's going?
Nathan Mumm:
on, so you can get these at any. Now is there a place online. You can also go and find out more about these, gwen.
Gwen Way:
I mean they've got a website, it's auracom, it's.
Nathan Mumm:
It's O U R A ringcom.
Gwen Way:
Correct. Okay, you can also go to any of the vendors that I talked about.
Nathan Mumm:
best buy Amazon Target there are a couple of others Tarjee. Is that the? Is that the fancy name for?
Gwen Way:
it, it's the fancy name.
Nathan Mumm:
No, I think it's called bullseye in, like New York, because they don't want to call it target, they call it bullseye that's hilarious, oh, I know. Yeah, that's right, new Yorkers Okay.
Gwen Way:
But yeah, you can order it from any of those and most of those are still saying that they can deliver before Christmas. As long as you order in the next two to three days, all right.
Mike Gorday:
That's awesome to hear. I'm going to leave this place and not go get one.
Nathan Mumm:
You know this would be a cool gift to have right A kid's track.
Mike Gorday:
You know somebody gave it to me. It might be a cool. This is not something I would buy myself, I think.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, I don't know, wink, wink. That's right, oh, is he trying to wink at me, nathan? This is something that.
Gwen Way:
I'd love to get as a technology item. You know, if you slip a ring into whatever horrible Christmas sweater you bring him, I think he'll appreciate it.
Nathan Mumm:
Oh, there you go. All right, he's got it, I got it. I got a sweater for him this year. Let me tell you he's excited about that. Let me see. All right, gwen.
Mike Gorday:
You're exhausting.
Nathan Mumm:
That is our segment gadgets and gear with Gwen Way. Up next, we have this week in technology, so now would be a great time to enjoy a little whiskey on the side, as we will be doing so during the break Not really.

Nathan Mumm:
That's it, that's it, that's that simple.
Speaker 5:
And now let's look back at this week in technology.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, we're going all the way back to December 12, 1980. Apple Computer's initial public offering. Apple's initial public offering was the largest IPO since Ford Motors went public in 1956. Nonetheless, it sold out in minutes. Originally priced to sell at $14 a share, the stock opened at $22 and all 4.6 million shares were sold almost immediately. The stock rose 32% that day to close at $29, giving the company a market evaluation of $1.778 billion. The three founders of Apple Computer Steve Jobs, mike Marcula and Steve Wozniak weren't the only ones who made well that day. More than 40 of Apple's 1,000 employees became instant millionaires thanks to the stock options.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, that was this week in technology. If you ever wanted to watch some tech time history, with over 180 weekly broadcast spanning three plus years of videos, podcasts and blog information, you can visit techtimeradiocom to watch our older shows. Join the Tech Timers Facebook group to talk with us live all the time. Gwen's on there too, so you can talk about some gadgets and gear with her. We're going to take a commercial break. When we return, though. We have the Mark's Mumble Whiskey review and our technology fail of week. See you after the break.
Speaker 5:
The segment we've been waiting all week for Mark's Whiskey Mumble.
Mike Gorday:
Well, this is just a big setup from start to finish.
Nathan Mumm:
Why is that? I was never going to buy joke whiskey ever again. I don't know if it was Okay, was it joke whiskey?
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, I was walking through the supermarket one day and they had this big in-cap with this stuff on it. I'm like, hey, I should get that as a joke so we can do it on the air.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, well, I don't know if this is joke whiskey I kind of like it a little bit.
Mike Gorday:
The aftertaste you just said the aftertaste is not bad. Yeah, once all the nastiness goes away and there's like an aftertaste, it's got a Formica type of burning. It's kind of like when you brush your teeth in the morning, and all that toothpaste taste goes away, except for that little bit of mint. That's kind of what it is. It can taste popcorn, okay, all right. Other than that, it's pretty gross. Let's see what Mark has to say about this. Mark has bad stuff to say about it.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, that's what I'm sure what is the special of the day.
Mike Gorday:
Today, december 12th, is National Dingaling Day. What National Dingaling Day? What is?
Nathan Mumm:
Dingaling Day.
Mike Gorday:
Now what he wrote down here is usually it's a uniquely American holiday. Okay, it's sort of a twofer, where you touch base prefabrily by phone hence the playful reference to Dingaling with friends or family you may have lost track of during the year.
Nathan Mumm:
Oh, so it's like a phone. So it's like a phone Dingaling.
Mike Gorday:
Okay, I get it yeah but you know I remember things that should never be repeated. Okay, nathan also gets a free pass to be just a little bit weird for the day, so he's allowing you to be you.
Nathan Mumm:
I embrace myself, being me Okay, thank you.
Mike Gorday:
Yeah, so yeah, moving from Dingalings to Blockhead.
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah.
Mike Gorday:
There's only one thing to say about Blockhead popcorn caramel whiskey. What is that? Why, why, okay, why does this exist?
Nathan Mumm:
I can see him in his voice saying that.
Mike Gorday:
Why did Mike buy this? I thought, he had better taste than Nathan. Uh-oh, why is Mark not in the studio?
Nathan Mumm:
Okay.
Mike Gorday:
Mark can only answer the last one, because he heard that was going to be what was brought in today. Okay, so he took off to another state, to having escape the whiskey tasting so he didn't want to taste that.
Nathan Mumm:
So he literally left us here in the studio high and dry because he was worried about the taste of this whiskey.
Mike Gorday:
Wow.
Nathan Mumm:
You know and I agree.
Mike Gorday:
No-transcript. I am so ashamed of myself right now that I should just leave. Okay, all right. This is terrible.
Mike Gorday:
It was a bad idea and I'm never going to impulse buy Joe Whiskey ever again it's gross. Okay, you don't know what my thumbs up, thumbs down is going to be yet though I do, I already do Okay To give our listeners any value from this mumble, besides to stay away from this artificial chemical gunk. Here is a whiskey fact it is illegal to take any whiskey on a plane, even checked in over 140 proof, because the TSA considers it to be a hazardous material, almost as hazardous as drinking Blockhead Popcorn Caramel Whiskey.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, so you can't take 140 proof whiskey on a plane. Did he learn that by?
Mike Gorday:
actually, I don't know Mark has a lot of whiskey. Mark has a seedy underground of whiskey. He does Whiskey selling.
Nathan Mumm:
He's been on the board with a suitcase with all this whiskey.
Mike Gorday:
I feel like if it were the 30s, he would have a still out, he would have a little speakeasy. That's right, okay.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, mark, thanks for that mumble. There's always whiskey and technology. What a great pairing, just like the pairing of cookies and milk on Christmas Eve.
Mike Gorday:
That's not what you have written. It is exactly what I have written here. You got the old deal.
Nathan Mumm:
All right, now let's get ready for our technology fail, the week brought to you by Elite Executive Services. We are out of time. Congratulations, you're a failure.
Speaker 9:
Oh, I failed, did I.
Speaker 5:
Yes.
Speaker 9:
Did I yes, did I yes.
Nathan Mumm:
All right. Speaking about, this week's technology fail comes to us from the DNA Collection Company 23andMe. James Riddle, our medical expert, warned about DNA being breached nine months ago here on Tech Time Radio, and guess what he called it? Not only that, but we're going to be talking about 23andMe, and what made it even worse? Do you understand that? To make it worse, when you have a breach, why don't you change the terms of services just before you disclose the breach? Now let's talk about this. 23andme, the DNA testing company, changed its terms of services before announcing a security breach. Two days before 23andMe disclosed that hackers have access to personal and genetic data for almost 70, for 7 million customers, the genetic testing giant updated its terms of service, so 7 million customers DNA have been stolen, and we do believe this hacking group is out of China, so it's nothing better than giving China all of our DNA which is 80% of the people on 23andMe are Americans.
Mike Gorday:
Isn't 23andMe a China-owned company? It is not.
Nathan Mumm:
It's an American-based company, but China decided to hack into it.
Mike Gorday:
I know they have their hands in one of those.
Nathan Mumm:
They do have some financial aspects, but it was a hacking group that got it. But let's make things worse. Forget about the 7 million customers' genetic testing data that's available out there for anybody to purchase on the dark web. Let's actually go in to see what the company did. Instead of disclosing the information, the company decided to change its terms of services two days before they announced the breach. The new changes were designed so that customers give up on the possibility of filing an arbitration claims together, a process known as a mass arbitration or an arbitration swarm against 23andMe. So essentially, they knew that they had a breach. They were worried about having everybody decide to do an arbitration or a class action lawsuit together against everybody, and they sent these terms of services out. So everybody rightfully gave away their rights when they logged in to this before the breach.
Mike Gorday:
Well, if they changed their terms of service, didn't they have to re-agree to it?
Nathan Mumm:
Yeah, so you weren't able to log on to the page until you hit OK and nobody read through the actual terms. Now the new terms of service essentially forbids 23andMe customers from joining forces in the arbitration case. Now what you have to do is, if you have a dispute with these new terms of services, you have to reach out to the company itself and 23andMe will essentially sit down with you and your lawyers and yourself on a Zoom call to decide on if they believe you should receive any financial benefits from this.
Mike Gorday:
I have a hard time thinking that this would held up in court. I'm guessing they can probably still go after this.
Nathan Mumm:
So it's interesting the terms of services essentially allowed people to sign it and actually have a dispute for up to 60 days before filing an arbitration demand. So they really need to send this out 61 days before they announced the breach, not two days. Lots of lawyers are essentially saying 23andMe gave customers wrong information, are trying to essentially cause disruption on how they can actually claim it, including on who they should actually complain to. They had one email account saying that you should send it to arbitration opt out at 23andMe and another place that they should send it to legal at 23andMecom. So their website didn't even have the correct information of what's in taking care of. So if you ever want to have a company that's scamming you and doesn't want to pay them 23andMe doesn't matter.
Mike Gorday:
These companies don't have an ethical backbone, so okay, all right, all right.
Nathan Mumm:
Well, we're going to go. Now, speaking of ethical backgrounds, we're going to go to Mike's mesmerizing moment. This is Mike's mesmerizing moment, presented by StoryCoffee. Visit StoryCoffeecom. All right, here's my question to you, mike. Why do people get depressed during the holidays?
Mike Gorday:
Bad whiskey in 23andMe.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, all right. Is there anything that people can? I guess we don't have five and a half hours to explain it, but just a brief version.
Mike Gorday:
There's a lot of social pressure during the holidays to get together to buy gifts to overspend, and that can take its toll on you if you're highly invested in that or you're highly susceptible to that pressure.
Nathan Mumm:
Okay, and the holidays bring this out in us, because this is a social rule.
Mike Gorday:
It's a media-driven social rule that we overspend during the holidays, that we attend functions, that we do all these things that make us happy, and in retrospect, it does affect our, our ability to process things a little differently. So we, a lot of people, get depressed okay, all right, that's, that's good to know. All right now, I think we're gonna head to our I don't, I don't think we're gonna be talking about geese are.
Nathan Mumm:
I think I'm gonna head into our Nathan Nugget now this is your nugget of the week are we gonna talk about?
Nathan Mumm:
I got. How many minutes do we have left? Oh, oh. He says that we don't have time to do this, so you know what we were gonna be talking about giving you the one finger. Yeah, I know we're gonna talk about artificial intelligence IDs on individual geese. It's about a research center out of Venna, austria, that we're gonna be talking about. Vienna Austria. Essentially, you know we're out of time, so I guess we're gonna have to go to our pick of the day.
Speaker 5:
Pick of the day for our whiskey tastings. Let's see what bubbles to the top all right, our pick of the day.
Nathan Mumm:
Here we got our blockhead popcorn, peanut caramel whiskey 74 proof. I don't even know if that's really isn't an 80 proof, it's kind of like the baseline.
Mike Gorday:
I don't know. We don't need to discuss it because gross 2499.
Nathan Mumm:
This is brought to us by yours truly. A micro day. You're gonna give this a thumbs up.
Mike Gorday:
Absolutely not gonna give this a thumbs up gonna give us a thumbs. I will. I am absolutely not gonna finish my tasting. I gross, it's nasty and I gonna dump the sound. I will never buy the anything like this ever again dump this out at the end of the show. Sure, yeah, are you really?
Nathan Mumm:
yeah, I can dump it out. Yeah, you're gonna keep the bottle, though. This is a nice bottle. It's an okay bottle. It's okay about.
Mike Gorday:
You can really use that I get all right, I am gonna give it a thumbs down.
Nathan Mumm:
Also, I would have to agree with Mark. So, all right, well, we do want to make sure that we let everybody have a chance to listen to our 12 days of AI song that we did in the studio. Yeah, now we recorded this and this was a great time. We do this every year. It's kind of the 12 days of Twitter miss. You can go back and listen to last week's show if you want to take care of that. This week we got the 12 days of AI. It's with Mark and Gwen and myself singing it. Nothing's better than this. But before we head out to that, I want to make sure that people realize that we enjoy them being a part of the show. It's an honor to make our show. We would love a five-star review and sign up on any of our social media networks as possible, because it's always the most important thing to remember the science of tomorrow starts with the technology of today right, bye, bye all right, we're gonna listen to our song right now.
Mike Gorday:
Here we go it's like blowing my eardrums out. If you want, I think you need to give yourself a couple more beats before you start singing, because you just like on the first day of Christmas my AI gave to me Sam Altman back at open AI on the second day of Christmas, my AI gave to me two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI but Sam is definitely back at open AI.
Speaker 4:
On the third day of Christmas, my AI gave to me 3D fakes, two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI. On the fourth day of Christmas, my AI gave to me four data breaches 3D fakes and two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI.
Speaker 7:
That was awful fifth day of Christmas, my AI gave to me five Elon Tweets are exes four data breaches, three deep fakes, two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI well, mark, mark, mark is really singing it well on the sixth day of Christmas, my AI gave to me six hackers hacking, five Elon Tweets, four data breaches, three deep fakes, two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI.
Speaker 4:
On the seventh day of Christmas, my AI gave to me seven drones, a spy and six hackers hacking and a couple tech hosts who are bored.
Mike Gorday:
Eight of breaches, three deep fakes, two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI on the eighth day of Christmas, my AI gave to me music, eight ads of tracking, seven drones of spying, six hackers hacking, five Elon Tweets, four data breaches, three deep fakes, two biased bots and Nathan's road crush. Back at open AI.
Nathan Mumm:
I think it's me, yeah on the ninth day of Christmas, my AI gave to me nine laws are breaking eight ads of tracking, seven drones, a spy and six hackers hacking five Elon Tweets, four data breaches, three deep fakes, two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI on the tenth day of Christmas, my AI gave to me ten jobs, are losing nine laws, are breaking eight ads of tracking, seven drones, a spy and six hackers hacking five Elon Tweets, four data breaches, three deep fakes, two biased bots and Sam Altman back at open AI on the eleventh day of Christmas, my AI gave to me 11 ethics.
Mike Gorday:
The missing 10 jobs are losing, nine laws are breaking, eight ads of tracking, seven drones, a spy, six hackers hacking, five Elon Tweets, four data breaches, three deep fakes, two biased bots and some guy named Sam. Back at open AI.
Speaker 6:
On the twelfth day of Christmas my AI gave to me 12.
Nathan Mumm:
Ai is rising like T2. 11 ethics are missing, 10 jobs are losing nine laws are breaking eight ads of tracking seven drones a spy and six hackers hacking five. Elon Tweets or X's or whatever he calls them three deep fakes, one with Mike two biased bots and my buddy, sam Altman, back at open AI after Microsoft. And then we hired again and back that was awful.
Mike Gorday:
The music was way too loud. I couldn't hear a damn thing that you said.
