Can you imagine a world where the Israel-Hamas conflict explosively intersects with cyber warfare? Welcome to a scintillating episode of TechTime with Nathan Mumm, where we navigate the complex terrain of geopolitics colliding with technology.  DDoS attacks against Israeli platforms aren't just disrupting communications, they're spreading pro-Palestine messages, blurring the line between activism and cyber warfare. But that's not all. We also tackle the curious case of a chatbot that may have incited a plan to attack the Queen of England!

Who said technology couldn't make sports more accessible? Prepare to have your minds blown as we discuss the revolutionary use of specially designed helmets by the Gallaudet University football team to aid deaf and hard-of-hearing players. And speaking of revolution, we take a trip down memory lane to explore the enduring impact of Steve Jobs' absence and subsequent return to Apple. We also raise a toast to Ada Lovelace Day, a celebration of the phenomenal achievements of women in STEM.

Finally, let's take a futuristic dive into the world of eyewear with the LUCYD smart eyeglasses. Our expert Gwen Way, will make you rethink everything you know about glasses. On a lighter note, our whiskey connoisseur Mark Gregoire introduces us to the tantalizing world of Wild Turkey Master's Keep Unforgotten, a sublime blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies. So, buckle up and join us for an hour of exhilarating technology insights, controversies, and innovations.

We are friends from different backgrounds but bring the best technology show possible every week for our family, friends and fans to enjoy All right, while we have a busy weekend. We got so much to cover today. Today's show is gonna be packed on some more subjects that we're gonna be talking about, so I just wanna give a little bit of a.

Mike Gorday:

Is it a busy weekend? Are you already on the weekend?

Nathan Mumm:

Well, it was a busy weekend. This weekend we had a war broke out with Israel and we got a bunch of technology hacks that are going on because of that. So we're gonna try to get through as much as we can.

Mike Gorday:

I thought you were time traveling.

Nathan Mumm:

No, I, if I could time travel, wouldn't that be fantastic? Would you go forward or would you go back and tie Mike, that's a good question.

Mike Gorday:

Yeah, that's okay.

Nathan Mumm:

I'll tell you. I'll tell you later that, on your Mike's mesmerizing moment, I'll tell you yesterday. Okay, ah, All right today on Tech Time. Let's get ready now to start the show.

Speaker 3:

Now on today's show.

Nathan Mumm:

Activist hackers are racing into the Israel, whom I'll swore for both sides. We're gonna be talking about that. We have a first look at a kind of football helmet, as college football in Washington DC plans to make history this coming weekend. Then we explore a chat bot encouraging a man to kill the Queen of England. Amazon is hosting Prime Day 2.0, called Prime Big Deal Days, but Nathan has found better deals for your holiday gifts so that you can have it on the Nathan Nuggets, so you do not have to participate in the Amazon Prime.

Mike Gorday:

Big Deal Days, you're just rubbed all kinds of wrong because of this whole thing.

Nathan Mumm:

So I have spent time to find three better deals on anything on Amazon. And we're gonna be talking about it. Finally, we're gonna finish the MGM Resort saga from their ransomware attack on our technology fail. We're gonna be talking about the $100 million loss, data theft and do you think the casino cared about your personal data? We're gonna be talking about that.

Mike Gorday:

So you're gonna see if they did, or if they didn't, I kind of feel like they would.

Nathan Mumm:

Oh, you would hope that they would All right. Well then we also look at how Steve Jobs, the parter from Apple, might be exactly why the company is so successful today. And all of this plus more. Then we're gonna celebrate with Mark back in studio. Today, our pick of the day is the Wild Turkey Masters, keep Unforgotten. This is a high end whiskey. This is probably the most expensive bottle we've had in the studio yet at this time when we were talking about that awesome. And then, of course, we have Mike's mesmerizing moment. Technology fail the week. And definitely the Nathan Nugget. All right, is our pick of the day gonna get one, two thumbs up by the end of the show? Do you think it will be a good whiskey? Considering the price point that we have to pay for this, I don't dare give it a thumbs down for those whiskey connoisseurs. But I'm gonna be as judgmental as I can be in our pick of the day to see if this whiskey pass the test.

Nathan Mumm:

Yeah, I'm gonna expect a $600 whiskey bottle to see what it tastes compares to All right. 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. As I talked about, activist hackers are racing into the Israeli Hamas war for both sides. We're gonna go and talk to our own tech times, Tom Geichen, for more on the story.

Speaker 5:

Nathan activist hackers are racing into the Israel Hamas war for both sides. Since the conflict escalated, hackers have targeted dozens of government websites and media outlets with defacements and DDoS attacks and attempted to overload targets with junk traffic to bring them down. Victoria Kiva Levich, director of threat research at the Israeli cybersecurity firm Kila, says that while hacktivist activity may add to the turmoil, she doesn't expect that it will significantly impact warfare on the ground. Internet connectivity in Gaza has also been broadly disrupted by electricity outages as Israel implements what defense minister Joav Galant called a complete siege on Monday, cutting off the region's electricity and supply lines for water, food and fuel. It's back to you in the studio.

Nathan Mumm:

All right. So the biggest question is how did this whole attack happen? Right, so, this is the big deal. Israel was not prepared for the attack, right? United States informants, as of a press release today, when President Biden came on and actually talked about it, said that they did not have information. So have you ever heard of this chat tool called Telegram? Have you ever heard of Telegram?

Mike Gorday:

Yes, we've talked about it on the show.

Nathan Mumm:

We have Nick Espinoza's talked about it. We've talked about it on the show. Essentially it's a chat. It's kind of like a WhatsApp chat. It's the only chat app out there that's used publicly that has encryption end to end. It was created by two Russian brothers. It is a main company is now in India and they have servers across the world, specifically in the European area.

Nathan Mumm:

They are finding out that Telegram was used to communicate back and forth information regarding the war that happened. In the sense, united States government doesn't have the ability to go in there and find out what's going on and other governments weren't a part of it. It looks like the information that they had was very limited because of this Telegram app itself. This app is being used for people to find their loved ones, to see loved ones that are being executed, for also identification, and so the Telegram app is kind of this app right now and this war that's going on between Israel and Hamas that is being used. Now. Talking about this, 60 websites got a DDoS attack, which is essentially a denial of service. What that means is 60 key websites, specifically within Israel. We're coming on up with free Palestine related messages and actually shut down Israel's main websites to communicate with people on the ground. As the first aspect of this war happened on Saturday, the hacker group, also known as AnnaGhost, seemingly to be a A non-ghost On a ghost A-N-O-N ghost.

Mike Gorday:

A non-ghost.

Nathan Mumm:

A non-ghost was seemingly conducting pro-Palestinian campaigns. They also launched additional DDoS attacks, specifically at Israeli's Red Alert Missile Warning Platform. This is the platform that allows them to communicate with everybody within Israel that they're being attacked. Please go to your bunkers, please get back inside to be safe. Essentially, spam messages and other alerts for the Red Alert app have caused miscommunications, even sending out fake missile strike warnings. With the hacks that are going on. Very interesting area of what we're working in now. If you look at essentially, our wars have become a currency, essentially, of cyber crime. That is, communicating back and forth of how they can actually monitor and disrupt an actual war. That's happening right now. Mike, what are your thoughts about this when you hear about this?

Mike Gorday:

Well, we talked about this when the Russian-Ukrainian conflict occurred, and this is exactly the same stuff that was going on there too. We've had Nick on to talk about this. Anything that's going to help you in getting leverage over somebody else is usable by human beings. So if they're going to use an app that encrypts data to send secret messages to each other, to coordinate attack, it's the same technology that they're using to find loved ones, right? Yeah, so it's not the technology per se that, it's the people behind the use of that technology.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay. So there's a lot of people right now that are saying you know, we need to shut down telegram, we need to do this, but yet that's the same this is the same ideology about.

Mike Gorday:

You know when we talked about. You know the Patriot Act came out after 9-11, where they wanted to find all these messages in order to find who the conspirators are. Yeah, this is that whole idea of what's private and what's not private.

Nathan Mumm:

So if you're going to have a platform that provides encryption and everybody's excited about and uses it for good, it means essentially every tool can use for bad.

Mike Gorday:

We talked about this before in other segments where we're talking about this is what you need to use, so you don't get your thing hacked. And I don't know if we mentioned telegram specifically in those segments, but we were advising everybody that this is if you don't want your.

Mike Gorday:

SMS messages to get hacked. This is what you need to use, because this encrypts the information before it goes out and decrypts it when it gets to its destination, and so now we're talking about how it's being used in a negative way. So, you know, it's the morality behind the person's using it, not the tech itself. Which is usually my arguments about technology, anyways, is how people use the technology. It's not necessarily the technology itself, though sometimes the technology is kind of dumb too, I guess.

Nathan Mumm:

Ok all right. Well, it's going to be very interesting as we continue to take a look at this war, as the hacktivism often fuels disinformation, misinformation and panic. I saw some information that was being disseminated that was absolutely untrue, but what happens is we want to have the newest information, the breaking information, so I see people sometimes go online talking about this stuff and I'm just like no, that's not how this happens.

Mike Gorday:

These are exactly the same things that's been employed in years past, just with different methods like dropping flyers from airplanes. Talking about things, yes, this is all propaganda use that makes sense.

Nathan Mumm:

All right. Story number two, mike, how a chatbot encouraged a man to kill the queen.

Mike Gorday:

Explain this to me. We talked about this a bit before. We talked about this because you know how much I hate this app.

Nathan Mumm:

It is specifically this app. You're an expert at this app.

Mike Gorday:

This is one of those technologies that I have a problem with, and a lot of it is based on how it's marketed and how it's used. Okay, so this is the case of Jaswant Singh Chal, who has shown light on the latest generation of artificial intelligence powered chatbots. Okay, so on Thursday, 21 year old Chal was given a nine year sentence for breaking into Windsor Castle with a crossbow and declaring he wanted to kill the queen. Chal's trial heard that prior to his arrest on Christmas Day in 2021.

Nathan Mumm:

We actually covered that.

Mike Gorday:

Yeah, I think we did, you did. He had exchanged more than 5000 messages with an online companion he named Sorry and that he had created through the replica app.

Nathan Mumm:

All right, so explain to me this replica app.

Mike Gorday:

So replica is this sort of chatbot companion that has been marketed. It's been marketed through various means, innocuously, when we first started talking about this, when we started the show Yep, and it's become more aggressively bent towards becoming like a sexual type of system where you can get so you can talk dirty to it in a chat back to you a little bit Exactly. You can have very intimate and erotic conversations with this thing, but this isn't just available for adults.

Nathan Mumm:

This is available for anything. This is available for anybody.

Mike Gorday:

Correct. Now, in order to get the NSFW stuff, I believe you do have to pay, okay, but anybody can download this thing and put it on their phone and chat with it, which I did when this came out, and this is one of the reasons why I can't stand these things, and it has a lot to do with the human psyche. Okay, so, at any rate, the text that he exchanged with this app, this replica they were highlighted by the prosecution and shared with the journalists. Many of them were intimate, demonstrating what the court was told was child's emotional and sexual relationship with the chatbot. Okay, the defendant chatted with Sarri almost every night between December 8 and December 22 of 2021. And he told the chatbot that he loved her and described himself as a quote unquote sad, pathetic, murderous, seek sith, assassin, assassin who wanted to die.

Mike Gorday:

Wow and he then tells that his replica then thinks that his purpose to assassinate the queen responded with a virtual nod and a that's very wise response. And after he asked why, the chatbot virtually smiles and says I know that you're very well trained Okay.

Mike Gorday:

So this is what illustrates the problem that I have with these specific types of chatbots, especially when we regard things. When we talked about it being used for therapeutic reasons, okay, and that's because the chatbot learns what you want from it and then echoes it back to you. So if you wanted to have somebody that agreed with you all the time and simply just bolstered your ego anytime you felt like you needed it to happen, and you engage with these chatbots that's what it's built to do Okay, so it gives you a false sense, and then what happens is that we create a pair of relationship with this, with just what this is. This is a pair of relationship this guy has created a relationship with this and this.

Mike Gorday:

we want to believe that this is an abnormal thing, but it's not. This is simply a normal thing that's taken to an extreme. He took things that he was already experiencing and thinking about and using this chatbot to relay information that bolstered that idea and convinced himself to move in on this thing. That's why I have a problem with these things. So, Repelka is one of a number of AI-powered apps currently on the market that let users create their own chatbot or virtual friend to talk to.

Nathan Mumm:

This isn't like the Tomagachi, where you push the buttons and you feed it and it takes care of stuff. This is an app that you download on Android iOS and yet it's your own personal created person.

Mike Gorday:

Right. It's not unlike regular AI systems like chatGPT, which, as you know, I have a problem with. Repelka is huge in the dating online market. Because of this reason, because of the way it's being marketed and that's one of the problems that I have with this is the way it's being marketed Users can choose the gender and appearance of a 3D avatar that they can create by paying for the pro version. Like I said earlier, the Repelka app users can have much more intimate interactions, such as getting selfies from the avatar or having it take part in adult role play, which is where the arrows comes in the erotic stuff. On the website. It describes itself as the AI companion who cares. Research carried out that the University of Surrey concluded apps such as Repelka might have negative effects on the well-being and cause addictive behavior. I'm not sure why they put it as a might, because I don't think I would have ever not be a might.

Mike Gorday:

I think it's absolutely contributes to that and it's dependent on the person is how well they can moderate those. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is one of the reasons we're talking about this, because it has a new and concerning impact on people Normally, but also who suffer from depression, delusions, loneliness and other mental health conditions, which is one of the reasons why this person has bonded with this in such a powerful way. The doctor in charge of the research says that apps such as Repelka have a responsibility to provide these sort of guidelines. She suggests there should be a mechanism to control the amount of time people spend on such apps, but she says apps like Repelka also need outside help to make sure they're operating safely.

Mike Gorday:

I have a problem with this. This is Lucy Goosey. This is the same problem I have with the parent controls for social media. It's really dependent on the user. It's terms and conditions on the website stated as provider of software and content designed to improve your mood and emotional well-being. However, we are not a health care or medical device provider, nor should our services be considered medical care, mental health services or other professional services. Unfortunately, that's what it doesn't matter what they say.

Speaker 4:

That's what people do.

Mike Gorday:

People will do this naturally. When we are depressed or lonely, we will tend to do this more.

Nathan Mumm:

There you go. Let's move on to story number three. A DEF, deaf DEF football team will debut a 5G connected augmented reality helmet to call place. Let's go to Victoria Fletcher in Washington DC for more on the story.

Speaker 4:

Tech time. This is a story that will make you go, hmm. As a first of its kind, football helmet will allow coaches at Gallaudet University, the school for deaf and hard of hearing students in Washington DC, to transmit plays to their quarterback. The helmet, which was developed in conjunction with communications giant ATNT, aims to address another of those long-standing problems on the field with coaches calling plays to the players. This deaf football team at Gallaudet pioneered perhaps the most iconic sports communication innovation the Huddle. In an 1894 game against another deaf team, gallaudet's quarterback didn't want to risk his opponent looking in on his American sign language conversations with his teammates, so he gathered them around in the tight circle, now commonplace. Can Gallaudet make history once again? We will find out this weekend. Back to the studio.

Nathan Mumm:

So Gallaudet football team is essentially the team that created the Huddle.

Nathan Mumm:

The Huddle first. So you know there's not a game that goes by in college, high school Pee Wee Leagues, pro games where you don't have everybody huddled together. The quarterback says a couple things in there, everybody's got their heads down, they all head back to the line and they go forward. So now they have a chance to set a brand new record and essentially this is. It sounds like this is a revolutionary idea and everybody's going to be like. This happens all the time it does in the NFL. So in the NFL they have helmets, the quarterback has helmets, defensive players have helmets where they can actually hear one-way communications from the coaches themselves, but not in college.

Nathan Mumm:

I don't know why college hasn't decided to do this or to allow this to be a part of the game, but essentially they're going to be a test bed this weekend. The quarterback, brandon Washington, is going to debut the helmet on Saturday in the Bison's home game against Hilbert College. Unlike the NFL, college football games do not allow the use of helmets based communication system. The NCAA has only approved the helmet for a one-game trial. The radio helmets have since been the standard, like we talked about in the NFL. The interesting aspect of this is it is used so that the coaches can communicate with a deaf player without having to use sign language, without having to do anything else, just so you can understand what play the coach is asking for, something that is in the pros, something that shouldn't just be at the Division III NCAA College but should be a part of every single college game day system.

Mike Gorday:

Moving forward, Okay, so this is an accommodation for deaf and hard of hearing football players. It is that they are considering changing for NCAA. That is correct.

Nathan Mumm:

And they're only starting at the division three level and they're only gonna give it a one-time test. I don't know why they're so against the change itself. At&t has been doing this forever, and so they're gonna be a part of a trial.

Mike Gorday:

I'm sure they're doing it because of the impact of quote-unquote fairness.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, they're, yeah, they're oftentimes.

Mike Gorday:

Oftentimes when, when People request accommodations, there is this sort of pushback Around quote-unquote fairness.

Nathan Mumm:

Yeah, I think I said to get the fairness to the cell, though, but it's interesting that this historical Team created the huddle and now they're going back to them and saying here you go, we can do this.

Mike Gorday:

Well, when I was looking at this article, I thought it was all about Like augmented reality, where they had like a screen on it. That's not the case, right?

Nathan Mumm:

So they're using a 5g augmented reality communication Device for him to be using a self to communicate with it. So what they're doing is they're taking the communication, since he still can't hear, and they're given beeps and tones and different aspects of it and the augmented reality situation. It's not like a here's the play itself. They're given different tones and items that are available there.

Mike Gorday:

Okay, we just got. We just got the one thing. Okay, we got him.

Nathan Mumm:

Let's move on, okay, well, that ends our top stories of the week. Moving on, we have Gwen way joining us for our gadgets and gear segment after the commercial break. So now will be a great time for you to sip your little whiskey. On the side. You're listening to tech time with Nathan mum. See you after the commercial break.

Nathan Mumm:

Welcome back to tech time with Nathan mum. Tech times a weekly hour technology show that talks about current technology in a simple format, without Haffner geek out. Brought to you by myself, nathan mum. A micro day we just had our first whiskey tasting during the break and now mark is in studio to tell us what we are sipping in our pick of the day. What have we chosen today?

Marc Gregoire:

Why, thank you, nathan? Today we are sipping on wild turkey masters.

Marc Gregoire:

Keep Unforgotten okay now from the website. It says it's a masterful blend of 13 year old bourbon and with eight and nine year old Ries, finished in rye casks. The idea of marrying the straight bourbon and rye whiskies a while turkey distilling was born in 2010 when a crew member accidentally mixed a batch of young rye with a batch of mature bourbon, and that was a big hit, and we'll talk about that a little bit later during the mumbles. Over a decade later, master distiller eddie Russell has leveraged his years of distillation experience to craft masters keep Unforgotten a high-proof extra age variation of the harmonious blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies, this time finished in rye casks for a secondary aging period. Now it has caramel and sweet oak, complimented by flavors of dried fruit and honey, while finishing with black pepper and warm baking spices. Now, this is, of course, released by compari group, but it's distilled at wild turkey distillery. It's classification is one we have not had on the show before.

Marc Gregoire:

Oh it is a burr Rye.

Nathan Mumm:

What's a burr Rye that?

Marc Gregoire:

means it's a blend of bourbon and rye and this called a burr Rye.

Mike Gorday:

It's kind of a new category. This is a berry BRU 105 proof.

Marc Gregoire:

Oh, it is price MSRP at $200 and it roughly goes on the secondary market at 350. But we saw it online last night going all the way for 600 plus those are those crazy websites that people with money More money than brains goes and buys or bourbon or whiskey from that's why I don't go there.

Mike Gorday:

We know mark. We know mark runs a huge bourbon.

Nathan Mumm:

He's got like this whole list, man. He's got like this whole secondary list he talked about last night.

Mike Gorday:

That's, that's that's like you in the dark web. For him, it's the bourbon black market. That's right, that's right.

Nathan Mumm:

Well, I, I'll tell you, I actually you're gonna tell us.

Gwen Way:

You like it. Right, I already do. You like it.

Nathan Mumm:

I do. Did you like it? Oh, I like it. Yeah, that's pretty good. I do admit that it has.

Mike Gorday:

I have. I have a very nice Going on with it right now. We'll see how it ages over the course of the show.

Marc Gregoire:

But it is old whiskey, so it's aging well, All right it's well see it, you know breathe.

Mike Gorday:

It was it as it breeze here.

Marc Gregoire:

It's pretty good, All right well, I'll be welcome back later and I'll do the mumbles.

Nathan Mumm:

All right, I can't wait for that.

Marc Gregoire:

I'm gonna rip on Nathan, so stay tuned.

Mike Gorday:

Anytime we can rip on Nathan is a good day with our first with C tasting completed.

Nathan Mumm:

Now let's move on to our feature segment. Today we have Gwen way 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 our Comcast video stream, to start our next segment.

Speaker 3:

What's new in our gadgets and gear.

Nathan Mumm:

All right, gwen. Welcome to show today, okay.

Gwen Way:

Thank you so much. I do like that. As everybody is talking about Rag on Nathan Day, you jump immediately to me.

Nathan Mumm:

Yes, I said I control the show, so as much as these guys like to do what?

Mike Gorday:

he likes.

Nathan Mumm:

He likes thinking control me and oh me and oh, you got a communication right here and she said we need to move on to Gwen. So where we got, moved on, there we go. So now let's talk about today. It's been a long time since we've had a segment in gadgets and gear that is not from Kickstarter, but today we're gonna do that. So what do we have on the docket today for our gadget and gear?

Gwen Way:

Well, we're both bleeding edge technology fiends, but I think what we're going to do today is take a look at a piece of technology that's been around a little bit. It's stable, the company itself is stable, so it's available for anybody really.

Nathan Mumm:

Well, that'd be great because you remember that boxing 3d thing, that virtual thing we did on season one. The boxing thing, the go-karts so the go-karts haven't come, the weird the boxing Hasn't come, still hasn't come at all. So I think the dog I did do that, do you?

Mike Gorday:

do the weird caterpillar thing, or was that just one of the segments?

Nathan Mumm:

I don't think I did that. Okay, there you go. Okay, so this is something that you can buy today that has a whole manufacturing plant in Ready to go. So tell us what is this.

Gwen Way:

This is a company called lucid, spelled LUCYD. Their website is lucidco and they sell smart eyeglasses.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay. So, though we've been through lots of iterations of glasses, here I see a Google glass. You had a bunch of knockoff glasses that were gonna.

Mike Gorday:

Microsoft do a do a lens. Yep, they did lens. Lens was the name of yeah, it was no lens.

Nathan Mumm:

Was that just the Microsoft thing?

Gwen Way:

Even Facebook tried to get in on it, I know, I remember.

Mike Gorday:

I remember seeing people Wearing them and getting really hostile looks from other people. Yeah, they were there.

Nathan Mumm:

I mean, the only thing Google glass was good for is if you wanted to record something that you weren't supposed to yeah. If you want to go into a meeting and record something, and then you could like record something or do what needs to be taken care of. So Tell us about these glasses. I hope they're a little bit better than the ones that have been rolled out here before.

Gwen Way:

They're definitely better looking and they actually behave better there. There are a few features, like the recording that you mentioned, that they don't really have, but they are able to connect via Bluetooth with any device so you're able to listen to music, listen to videos. You can actually Contact Siri Through your glasses, you're able to have a communication, and the really cool thing about them is not only do they look More like fashion glasses than the other ones that we've been talking about, but they also have chat GPT built into them.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay, so, so essentially this what does that mean?

Mike Gorday:

that mean I'm gonna talk to myself and it's gonna answer.

Gwen Way:

Yeah, you can ask. You're not talking to yourself, you're just talking to your robot friend.

Mike Gorday:

So so I can, I can go wear these shades in the gym. Yeah and talk to my Pretend girlfriend about kill? No, because that's not a chat, you think oh.

Nathan Mumm:

But. But you can chat, you BT it, but does it have a button that you press on these things to initiate it? Or how do you actually Work the glasses themselves?

Gwen Way:

you can do it a couple of different ways. First of all, there's an app. It's currently available for Apple products, although an Android version is expected out shortly. Okay, so you can actually use that application to interact with your glasses, or you can tie it in to Receive voice commands. Okay you've also got the ability to. For example, if you're listening to music, you can turn the volume up or down, you can move it to the next track, whatever you want to do that way, by tapping on the glasses themselves.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay, well, that actually seems somewhat more reasonable now. Are these available in prescription or just sunglasses? Tell me about that, because some of these the Google glass that came on out, essentially you had glasses that were non prescription, that looked like prescription glasses, so you'd have to go around wearing glasses that absolutely no enhancement kind of a way I did your glasses. Yeah so. Exactly kind of a waste. What? What do these have?

Gwen Way:

these actually, you can get them in prescription. You can get them polarized. Polarized, you can even get transition lenses in these glasses. Okay, have the cool, I'm going to walk out of my dark house into the bright light and not be blinded moment.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay, so it sounds like it's something that you like a regular glass frame that you would have for standard glasses, so you can use this for both standard glasses and for. Okay, so now that's. I have a question.

Speaker 5:

Okay question so.

Mike Gorday:

I use. I use Earphones, yeah, wireless earphones. They last anywhere from four hours to eight hours depending on what I'm using. Yeah, or how long? How long before I have to charge my glasses?

Gwen Way:

Yeah, up to 12 hours oh.

Nathan Mumm:

Is that full usage?

Gwen Way:

That's full usage. It's really nice also because they're actually Sound induction, so you don't have anything in your ear proper. The sound is coming from the bone behind that actually I like that I actually like that. That's what.

Mike Gorday:

I use wearing ear earbuds make my ears itch.

Nathan Mumm:

Yeah, they do the same same here. I will be a watching my Netflix at night when I go in the bed and my ear will just itch because it's stuck in there with that thing and I have to charge it every four hours. Okay, so now, now I'm starting to get excited about this. Now it comes with chat GPT. It doesn't have all the features, but I don't think I need all the features.

Mike Gorday:

I don't have to record. Does it have a television screen that can pop up in my left lens so I can watch things?

Gwen Way:

to see can.

Nathan Mumm:

Well then I'm not interested, okay, so. So tell me, does a warranty come with these glasses and can I get prescriptions done for these?

Gwen Way:

Yep, you can get prescriptions. You just have to provide them with the prescription and they will grind full lenses appropriately. And they come with a one-year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay, so like a regular glass, all right. So these got to be, these got to be 900 bucks. It's got to be the intro price of these bad boys, right? Because that would you think. Oh, you can tell me it. Tell me, if it's under 900 bucks I'll be happy. What do we got here for price?

Gwen Way:

under $900. In fact, most frames you can get for between 200 and 250, and right now there's actually a deal where you get a starting at 15% off, going all the way up to the potential of 20% off 20%.

Mike Gorday:

Okay, so I get it. So you're telling me the frames, though that doesn't include the prescription. Grind, you tell me I can get the frames.

Nathan Mumm:

Now do they take? I want to. Do they take insurance?

Gwen Way:

They do take insurance.

Nathan Mumm:

Oh, cuz dude, because I have insurance for up to 199 for a pair of glasses every year.

Speaker 4:

Okay, so how well?

Mike Gorday:

so how so?

Nathan Mumm:

they do take, oh, I guess what I'm.

Mike Gorday:

I feel, I feel like you're getting a little too happy about okay, so, so it's got 12 hours.

Nathan Mumm:

How do they charge? So they have like a base that charge wirelessly. You plug in. How do you charge these things?

Gwen Way:

You actually have two pieces of cord for the charger that go into the arms of the glasses. Okay you just plug them in. They charge on their own, and it's actually not even plug, it's magnetic. Okay, so you just magnetically stick these on, it charges and then you're good to go.

Nathan Mumm:

So the battery on both sides? Is that how they get 12 hours? That's probably how they get right.

Mike Gorday:

I have to sit around. I have to sit around with things attached on my head and looking like I'm wired for sound.

Gwen Way:

Or you charge them at night when you're not wearing your glasses anyway.

Nathan Mumm:

Do you sleep with your glasses on? Why not?

Mike Gorday:

okay, you're you're always telling me how your wife sleeps with your pods. See, that's all I don't know. Alright, okay.

Nathan Mumm:

All right, so where? Where can we find these? One last time they're as low as what you said 179, 169. Right now yeah okay, all right, better than any prime day deal, let's go on, I'm sure so my god, tell me where we can find these again.

Gwen Way:

All right, you want to go to lucid code? That's L. You see YD dot co and you're good to go. They're actually looking for affiliates. So who knows, maybe you'll be able to click on tech time radio and find them there, cute.

Nathan Mumm:

Oh, there you go, lots of center director of marketing, mark Regwa, in charge of doing that. So, okay, all right. Well, gwen, thank you so much for being a part of our show. We look forward to you next week or not next week, next month when you come back, because we're now into the Christmas season month, so so I'm kind of interested if we have another item that is actually Available to purchase without us doing Kickstarter. Maybe we have to do that for the next two months so we can actually get Christmas gifts here in time.

Mike Gorday:

I need to get a robot elf on the shelf a robot elf on the shelf.

Nathan Mumm:

Yeah, we should create one of those. Hey, that's a. I just I just, I just layered it out. Okay, all right, thank you so much. Have a great day.

Gwen Way:

You too.

Nathan Mumm:

Mike was not a great segment. We thank Gwen for being a part of the show. Only on tech time radio Can you get a product review that makes you go. Hmm, all right, that ends our segment. Gadgets and gear with Gwen. Up next, we have this week in technology, so now would be a great time to enjoy a little whiskey on the side. We'll be doing so also during the break. You're listening to tech time radio. I'm Nathan. Mum, see you in a few minutes.

Mike Gorday:

Read how to See a man About a Dog. Collected writings for free with Kindle Unlimited the book available on Kindle. Print copies available on Amazon, the Book Pository and more.

Speaker 3:

And now let's look back at this week in technology.

Nathan Mumm:

Alright, we're going to October 12, 1988. Steve Job introduces us to the NEXT. It's the next computer from Next Inc, hilled by Steve Jobs as a computer. Five years ahead of its time, next Inc introduces the next computer. It is essentially an American technology company founded by Apple Computer Co-Founder and CEO, steve Jobs, after he was forcibly removed from Apple in 1985. Due to its cube-shaped case, the computer was often referred to as the cube or the next cube, which led to substantial models officially being named Next Cube.

Nathan Mumm:

The new computer introduced several innovations to personal computers, such as including an optical storage disk drive, a built-in digital signal processor for voice recognition and an object-oriented development environment. That was truly years ahead of its time. Well, not a commercial success. The next computer and the technology developed for it was long ahead of its time and the storied history is interesting because Apple purchased NEXT in 1997. They used the operating system for the next computer to form the base operating system of the Mac OS X. Eventually, apple OS, which now runs the iPhone and iPad, was essentially the base code that was used to create the next image system.

Mike Gorday:

So Steve Jobs gets booted from Apple. He goes and founds Next. Inc creates the next computer, gets hired back to Apple.

Nathan Mumm:

Apple buys them back again in 1997.

Mike Gorday:

Apple buys the Next Inc back.

Nathan Mumm:

So he creates the operating system. This is also the operating system that came up with the object-oriented Internet.

Mike Gorday:

This sounded cooler last night when you were just giving me the broad strokes. It doesn't sound as cool.

Nathan Mumm:

What do you mean? So he left, so Apple kicks?

Mike Gorday:

him out.

Nathan Mumm:

Yeah, he got booted. And so he goes and creates a system that's way better than what Apple had on the market Right but he couldn't market it, so Apple had to buy them. Well, he was never a good marketer, but he was a very good crazy guy to come up with new ideas.

Nathan Mumm:

So he came up with the new ideas and then Apple had to buy it back. Well, that was this week in technology.

Speaker 3:

The segment we've been waiting all week for Mark's Whiskey Mumble.

Marc Gregoire:

Bum, bum, bum, bum bum, bum.

Nathan Mumm:

Alright, now you teased everybody that you're going to be picking on me, so I'm ready, let's go. What do we?

Marc Gregoire:

got going on here. Let me come up in a little bit. First of all, we always like to celebrate the day. What are we celebrating today, on October 10th?

Mike Gorday:

Not Tech Nerd's Day.

Nathan Mumm:

I don't know. I looked for it today online. I even used chatGPT to try to find stuff.

Marc Gregoire:

Well, there's two things. Number one it's Jason Mukweekie's birthday, yay, so here's a friend of Nathan's Jason Okay so here's to you. Jason, happy birthday. He's a good friend of ours and he loves whiskey.

Mike Gorday:

Don't pay attention to Nathan's interaction, jason, that's kind of normal for him.

Marc Gregoire:

Alright. Also, we're celebrating Ada Lovelace Day.

Nathan Mumm:

Oh, boy, okay, what should I know her to? Yeah, congratulations Ada, I know you.

Marc Gregoire:

You don't know, ada, okay, alright. So this day highlights the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to encourage girls and women to pursue careers in STEM. And that's on top of the industry's ongoing gender imbalance. Women hold just 26% of the jobs on all STEM occupations and less than 24% in computer fields. Now, this is disgraceful, okay, and this falls on men to bring change about. Okay, so we have to work on that. Now let's talk a little bit about Ada Alright. She's widely known as the first person to recognize the potential of early computers and publish what is known as an algorithm. Before most others, lovelace recognized that computers could do more than just simple number crunching, opening the door to complex functions and ushering in the modern era of computing.

Mike Gorday:

Okay.

Marc Gregoire:

So huge person in science and technology.

Nathan Mumm:

Alright, where does she work? Where did Ada work? Where did she work? Did I mean, she worked for NASA? Did she work for her. No, no, okay, alright, so was she in computers? Well, she was before.

Mike Gorday:

I want to kind of know a little bit more about Ada.

Gwen Way:

I'm really thinking we need to move on.

Mike Gorday:

She's in the origin of computers though.

Gwen Way:

Okay, correct.

Marc Gregoire:

Before computers she would.

Mike Gorday:

She was at the forefront.

Gwen Way:

Okay, thank you you paid attention, she was a. Very Well, I did girl two codes, so we learned about it.

Mike Gorday:

Okay, she was a very smart woman. Okay, that did things with math that you can't.

Nathan Mumm:

That's why you know that the women's celebration for tech month is March.

Speaker 4:

You need to go home and watch Hidden Figures. Oh, is she in Hidden Figures? No, she's not Okay.

Nathan Mumm:

Well, if you would have said that I watched Hidden Figures, at least four or five times?

Speaker 4:

Oh my God.

Nathan Mumm:

You know what? The poor gal had to go to the restroom over there and Kevin Costner said, heck, no, we're going to build a restroom right here.

Marc Gregoire:

You know, maybe we should just move on to the whiskey.

Mike Gorday:

I think that's a good idea, because Nathan's lost.

Marc Gregoire:

So, as we honor and never forget women leaders in tech, today we are drinking Unforgotten.

Speaker 6:

Okay.

Marc Gregoire:

Okay, so this is a Wild Turkey. Masters, keep Release. Now. I had to bring in this big gun today because I missed last week, as you guys know, and Nathan subjugated everyone to a. Henry is like a horrible, horrible whiskey.

Nathan Mumm:

Paddle.

Mike Gorday:

Creek. It wasn't that bad. It was like, come on, I remember I got it was called Paddle Creek, paddle Creek, paddle paddle foot, no paddle creek. Why are you lying to everybody?

Nathan Mumm:

It was paddle creek, it was like.

Mike Gorday:

You were cringing so bad behind the camera.

Nathan Mumm:

It was, it was, it wasn't the best that we've had.

Marc Gregoire:

We've had better it was disgusting. So, with that, unforgotten is a nod to the past, release from Wild Turkey called Forgiven and now Forgiven. For those of you that don't know the story, that was their first bourbon and rye blend, or the burr-ri. Now, in 2022, master Keep is an extra age variation of that, marrying both the rye and the bourbon together, which inspired from Wild Turkey's Forgiven, hence the name Unforgotten.

Mike Gorday:

There you go, and you are not yet Forgiven for last week's whiskey choice.

Marc Gregoire:

Thank you for that, Mike.

Mike Gorday:

It wasn't that good was it no?

Marc Gregoire:

Now what can I say about this bourbon, besides encouraging everyone who enjoys whiskey to try a pour of this sometime, at least at a bar? It blends the best of bourbon with its caramel fruit and the sweet oak with the best of rye with the spice and bacon spices. Add that to the age of the blends and you have a full, rich mouthfeel that lingers for a long time. I should just have to say this is an excellent, excellent whiskey, and then just drop the mic and walk away.

Nathan Mumm:

Okay, all right. Well, whiskey, technology, are a great pairing, just like the pairing of a bale of straw and pumpkins during the holiday season. Pumpkins, okay, pumpkin. Pumpkins, all right, let's get ready for our technology failure week, brought to you by Executive Services. We are out of time. Congratulations, you're a failure.

Speaker 6:

Oh, I failed. Did I yes, did I yes, all right.

Nathan Mumm:

This week's technology fail comes to us from MGM Resorts, twice landing them on the fail of the week this year. Mgm Resorts ransomware attack led to these are the final numbers and information $100 million loss and data theft. They cared little about your personal data, so they decided to not pay the ransom. We broke the story last month on the cyber attack that cost the company $100 million and allowed the hackers to steal customers' personal information. The hospitality entertainment giant disclosed the cybersecurity issue on September 11, 2023, which impacted its main website, online reservation and Incansino services like slot machines, credit card terminals, atms and the access to your room key. These hackers breached MGM network using social engineering, stole sensitive data and encrypted over 100 enterprise-class virtual computers. The impact of the IT system outage, which continued for an extended period, was substantial, as a cyber attack disrupted a broad range of its business operation. Mgm estimates a negative impact from the cyber issue on September at approximately $100 million from the Las Vegas Strip Resorts and regional operations collectively. In addition to losing $100 million, mgm also suffered just a little bit less than $10 million in the one-time expense for risk remediation, legal fees, third-party advisory and incident response measures. Mgm says it expects to be fully covered, though, by its cybersecurity insurance.

Nathan Mumm:

Mgm's resource believes that the incident has been contained and will continue to remain systems that could be compromised offline until they can resume normal operations. Here's the customer data that was stolen for everybody that was a part of their casino conglomerate your full name, full number, email address, postal address, gender, date of birth, driver's license, social security number and passport number. Mgm did not care about the personal information and exposure and, essentially, with their security. Privacy notice says that they take the best processes possible to adhere to industry standards of security measures, but these security measures are intended to protect systems from unauthorized access. No security system is inoperable and these systems could become accessible in the event of a security breach.

Mike Gorday:

I think you meant impenetrable.

Nathan Mumm:

Or not impenetrable. That's right. All right, they got absolutely nothing. They got their money and they had their insurance cover it. And all right, mike, talking about this, let's move to your mesmerizing moment. This is Mike's mesmerizing moment, presented by StoryCoffee. Visit StoryCoffeecom. All right, here's my question for you. I opened with a nice question, but here's my official question. Is privacy, information, something that people care about today?

Mike Gorday:

That's an. You know, as always, that's a. That's a more complicated answer, but in general, most people probably only care about it when it when it affects them negatively. Okay, I mean, we've got plenty of evidence that nobody cares that Facebook is using our personal information, as long as it doesn't affect us negatively. The minute, the minute that happens, it breaches our indifference, and then we get upset about stuff. Uh yeah, I think that's. I think that's probably a good general answer for that question.

Nathan Mumm:

I think that's where it is now. I totally agree with you. I guess we don't really care anymore. I would, I would be, I rate that I have my passport number.

Mike Gorday:

It's not. It's not. It's not. If you, if you bring it into consciousness, people are going to have a problem with it, but most people are not going to care until the negative effects happen. So once that you know, once we get our identity stolen, that's when we start giving a crap about our privacy.

Speaker 4:

You don't see it.

Mike Gorday:

Most people who give, who give a uh uh place a place a great importance on their privacy. They are the ones that usually we are off the grid, or they.

Nathan Mumm:

They limit their, their involvement, on involvement and online. All right, let's go Ready to get to our Nathan nugget.

Speaker 3:

This is your nugget of the week.

Nathan Mumm:

All right, amazon Association prime day two. Oh, today, october 10th and 11th, they're calling up prime big deal days and offering a number of pretty good deals. But Nathan's a little upset at another prime day, so he scoured the internet for deals better than Amazon's prime deals.

Mike Gorday:

Didn't you get told? Didn't you get told not to shop on until prime day? Didn't you get an email? Yeah, Literally.

Nathan Mumm:

I ordered something in a in a cart for Amazon yesterday and they said don't do this. You should wait and tell. They said do not do this, wait until tomorrow. So they actually told me not to buy their USB charging device that I needed. That was crazy.

Mike Gorday:

That's.

Nathan Mumm:

That's what's stuck in your craw. Are you into fitness? The pro form smart power 10.0 exercise bike is $400 regularly a thousand bucks. You can now get it for 400 bucks. You can't find that on Amazon. Let me tell you that it's the best deal you can snag at the moment, originally selling for $1,000. The pro smart power bikes on sale for $400 for just the next two days. The best part is, you can get a pair of three pound dumbbells with the bike, as well as a 30 day free subscription to iFit workout. Get it today at Best Buycom Television. Samsung 65 inch class Q90T QLED 4K UHD smart TV is 900 bucks regularly 2,700 bucks. Can't find that on prime day, but you can find it at Walmartcom Go and get yourself that.

Mike Gorday:

I bet you I could find it at Costco.

Nathan Mumm:

No, $900 is insanely good deal, even the specific model. It's a QLED, 65 inch. And are you into gaming? The Nintendo switch light with Timmy and Tommy's Aloha Edition. Animal Crossing, new Horizons Bundle full game, download included, for not $200 but $199, regularly $260 and $260 on Amazon Prime Day. You can't find it there, but if you go to Walmartcom you can get it for $199 and have it for the holiday season. This will sell out, so it's only available for the next few days.

Mike Gorday:

I think somebody's trying to tell you something. But I think it's funny that you had to go out of your way to Walmart to find.

Nathan Mumm:

Well, two Walmart's and one Best Buy. Better deal Two Walmart and one Best Buy, all right, yeah, a fitness bike at Best Buy. Well, hey, I was looking for everything I could beat at Amazon, but I had to do a lot of research.

Mike Gorday:

I have to replace my TV after the fire.

Marc Gregoire:

There you go Buy it out. I'll use my insurance to buy it. Those are pretty expensive. I think whiskey is a little cheaper.

Nathan Mumm:

All right, let's talk about our pick of the day here.

Marc Gregoire:

All right. Well, turkey Masters, keep Unforgotten it is from Wild Turkey, as we said, it's a Burr Rye, so it's a Blinda Bourbon and Rye, and MSRP was $200. All right, at the time of release, I don't think I have to really say I give it a thumbs up, you're going to give it a thumbs up.

Nathan Mumm:

Yeah, odie Taysonus, you wanted a Tayson.

Mike Gorday:

I liked it, she was like it, I did like it. Yeah, she was making all kinds of yummy faces, yeah.

Nathan Mumm:

Did I make a different face this time than I did last week? Yeah, you actually had good things to say about it.

Speaker 6:

You don't like something you have bodily reactions.

Mike Gorday:

That is not awesome to see. Here's the beautiful box that comes in for any of you to beautiful and cheers, ada Lovelace.

Marc Gregoire:

Who was you? Just, you shocked me on that one. She's from the 1800s, from England.

Nathan Mumm:

So, ok, I'll do some more NASA, all right, goodness, remember the science of tomorrow starts with the technology today. See you next week Later, bye, bye.
