buy a new phone or pay 70 00:03:34.509 --> 00:03:38.240 the tax to keep the intelligence features. So that's something 71 00:03:38.259 --> 00:03:39.639 that no one's going to get hit with that today. 72 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.479 Apple announced it. It's just going to be this thing 73 00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.860 that then when it happens next year, they'll be like, oh, yeah, 74 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:45.900 we announced this like a year ago. This is a 75 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.639 surprise to you? Shouldn't be a surprise. It's going to 76 00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:51.090 be one of those things. Nasty, nasty thing that actually 77 00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:55.210 becomes a surprise. We also looked at a military AI 78 00:03:55.250 --> 00:03:58.310 that wrongly flagged a Chinese cargo ship as carrying nuclear 79 00:03:58.490 --> 00:04:02.740 material to Iran. And we were scrambling fighters. People were, 80 00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:06.060 you know, everything was go, go, go, go, go. Like, 81 00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:07.840 let's go get this cargo ship. And it would have 82 00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:10.620 been an international incident. But then finally, a human analyst 83 00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:13.300 looked at the AI intelligence and said, actually, that is 84 00:04:13.379 --> 00:04:15.840 just those are just yellow bananas. You just thought they 85 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.040 were you hallucinated the yellow cake. Those are just yellow 86 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.160 bananas going to Iran. And so there is no need 87 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.540 to send a sealed, you know, sealed team 17 to 88 00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:27.639 go intercept the cargo ship full of bananas. And so 89 00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:30.300 they called off the strike and the cargo ship got through. 90 00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:33.420 which I thought there was a blockade on Iran anyway, 91 00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:35.740 so why did it get through? Isn't it just oil? 92 00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:38.160 I think it's all ships. They're blockading the ports so 93 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.990 they can't get goods. They're starving the economy. Yeah, I know. 94 00:04:42.230 --> 00:04:44.529 So why did they let the Chinese bananas in? I 95 00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:48.949 don't know, humanitarian reasons? I mean, they are bananas. So anyway, 96 00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:51.629 if you missed any of that stuff, you can check 97 00:04:51.649 --> 00:04:55.589 all that out at schrockinnovations.com. Just click on Radio Show. Now, 98 00:04:55.649 --> 00:05:00.569 coming up on the program today, guys, there is– This 99 00:05:00.689 --> 00:05:04.810 big update, Windows 11 26H2. I spent some time yesterday 100 00:05:04.850 --> 00:05:07.389 looking at all of the rumor channels and the rumblings 101 00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:10.300 and everything. The final version of this release is already 102 00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:14.040 in the pre-release candidate stream. In English, what that means 103 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:19.240 is the people testing this have it already. I'm about 104 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.899 to sneeze. It's bad. It's going to come. It's going 105 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.040 to sneak up on me. But the people who are 106 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.759 supposedly testing this. They already have it, and they've been 107 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.220 testing it for a while. This means there are no 108 00:05:30.259 --> 00:05:33.100 more fixes coming. There are no more polish. It's done. 109 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:39.000 So when is 26H2 going to hit consumers? Well, typically 110 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.279 it happens in October, typically. Sometimes it's been November. It's 111 00:05:43.339 --> 00:05:46.620 been as early as September. And so, you know, September 112 00:05:46.660 --> 00:05:47.980 is kind of long in the tooth here. You know, 113 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.699 we don't have that much of September left. And patch Tuesday, 114 00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:54.389 the second Tuesday of every month when Microsoft releases updates, 115 00:05:54.529 --> 00:05:58.240 is the 13th. There is a two-week window between today 116 00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:01.300 and the 13th that they could push this out the door. 117 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.879 It could come out as early as this week. So 118 00:06:05.310 --> 00:06:07.970 Windows 11 26H2, for those of you who are new 119 00:06:08.009 --> 00:06:10.709 to the program, every year Microsoft pushes a brand new 120 00:06:10.750 --> 00:06:15.470 version of Windows 11. Of course, they tell you it's 121 00:06:15.529 --> 00:06:17.889 not going to automatically download to your computer, even though 122 00:06:17.930 --> 00:06:20.930 it already has in some cases. You don't have to 123 00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:26.319 install it right away. Click cancel to continue. That's what 124 00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:27.459 they're going to say in the menu. That's what they 125 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.480 do every year. And people click cancel saying, I don't 126 00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:31.730 want to install it. And it's canceled to continue. So 127 00:06:31.850 --> 00:06:34.449 that means install it. And then their computer reboots and like, well, 128 00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:37.410 I can't take it back now. 80% of the time, 129 00:06:37.449 --> 00:06:41.449 the installation works just fine. There's no issues. 20% of 130 00:06:41.470 --> 00:06:44.290 the time, it's cataclysmic. And it seems to hit the 131 00:06:44.329 --> 00:06:46.790 same 20% of the people all the time. It's really ridiculous. 132 00:06:46.810 --> 00:06:48.699 So if you've had problems with these updates in the past, 133 00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:51.060 odds are you're going to have problems again this time 134 00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:53.939 as it comes through for your computer problems. What kind 135 00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:57.560 of problems would you expect with this thing? Microsoft is 136 00:06:57.779 --> 00:07:02.160 promising that they are on the path

of getting rid 137 00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:05.980 of the, they call it AI slop. The, the, the 138 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.500 stupid AI, like Microsoft paint has an AI feature now 139 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.810 where you can like create it for me. Like, has 140 00:07:12.889 --> 00:07:16.329 anybody ever actually painted anything with paint, like a picture, 141 00:07:17.110 --> 00:07:18.970 or do you just use paint to grab a screenshot 142 00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:21.629 and then draw a circle around something with an arrow? Like, 143 00:07:21.750 --> 00:07:25.500 look at this. That's what I use it for. I've 144 00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:28.370 never decided to open Microsoft Paint and create a work 145 00:07:28.389 --> 00:07:33.230 of art. I just didn't really know. Well, now you 146 00:07:33.269 --> 00:07:35.930 can open Paint and ask the AI to create a 147 00:07:36.209 --> 00:07:39.230 pastoral scene, and it'll just do it. And you're like, 148 00:07:39.389 --> 00:07:44.800 does anybody need that? Does that make anyone's life better? Copilot? 149 00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:48.560 Frigging useless. As far as touching anything with your computer, 150 00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:51.459 ask Copilot to change the brightness settings on your screen. 151 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.750 One of the simplest things to do from a settings 152 00:07:54.790 --> 00:07:58.649 perspective on a computer, make my screen brighter, Copilot. Copilot 153 00:07:58.689 --> 00:08:00.750 will pop up in a window that tell you, here 154 00:08:00.790 --> 00:08:02.930 are all the commands that you can do to make 155 00:08:02.949 --> 00:08:07.250 your screen brighter. Okay, thanks, Google. Like, are you an 156 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.560 AI or not? Like, can you do anything or not? 157 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.000 The answer is not. And then we see companies are 158 00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:16.860 actually using Copilot to automate things, and they don't realize 159 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.600 that they're just making fancy cronjobs. Fancy Python scripts. That's 160 00:08:21.629 --> 00:08:24.860 all it is. There is no intelligence behind it. There 161 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.459 is no automation really behind it. It's getting stuff done, 162 00:08:27.939 --> 00:08:29.879 but it's because a human set it up and a 163 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.980 human has to understand how it works and a human 164 00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:35.539 has to fix it when it breaks. And it's not good. 165 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.350 So all this stuff that Microsoft has gotten wrong, they're 166 00:08:39.409 --> 00:08:41.950 promising to fix it. They're going to fix it. And 167 00:08:41.970 --> 00:08:44.529 that fix, the first phase of this fix of making 168 00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:50.210 Windows 11 relevant again, stable again, and productive for you again, 169 00:08:51.129 --> 00:08:58.500 is 2-6-H-2. So, I want to be a good person, 170 00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:02.559 and I want to believe, I want, I want to 171 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.120 wish that Dylan Royola has a good game in Oregon. 172 00:09:06.299 --> 00:09:09.080 I really want to wish that, and I realize that 173 00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:12.340 I am a bad person when I'm watching him take over, 174 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.139 and I'm saying, man, I mean, I don't want to 175 00:09:15.179 --> 00:09:19.120 see him get knocked out, but You know, a couple 176 00:09:19.179 --> 00:09:25.519 sacks certainly wouldn't hurt me. I don't want to be 177 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.039 that person, right? I want to be the guy that's like, 178 00:09:27.059 --> 00:09:28.659 you know, good for him. Like, you know, good for 179 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.210 him to step up and have a good game, which 180 00:09:30.250 --> 00:09:33.870 he did, and, you know, have success. That's good. We 181 00:09:33.889 --> 00:09:35.570 should want that for each other, right? We should want 182 00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:41.169 that for Windows 11. Well, Windows 11 does not have 183 00:09:41.210 --> 00:09:44.659 a history of delivering that. I've seen memes online where 184 00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:47.759 it's a stack of paperback books, and the books get 185 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.570 increasingly larger and heavier as they go up the top 186 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.690 of the stack. So the smallest book is on the bottom. 187 00:09:52.750 --> 00:09:56.370 It's an inverted pyramid with dictionaries and thesauruses on the 188 00:09:56.409 --> 00:09:59.110 top of the stack. And then you wonder why it's 189 00:09:59.169 --> 00:10:02.659 not stable. So this is Microsoft saying we're going to 190 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.200 start to fix the pyramid in a world where, guys, 191 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.559 if you're watching the cutting edge stuff that's coming out 192 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.600 right now, there are entire AI-based operating systems that are 193 00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:14.230 open source now that you don't even have to touch 194 00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:17.909 a keyboard to run your computer. You don't even have 195 00:10:17.929 --> 00:10:22.129 to touch it. The world's not quite ready for that, 196 00:10:22.250 --> 00:10:25.090 I don't think, because it's hard for people to say, well, 197 00:10:25.129 --> 00:10:27.370 what do you mean? You don't need a screen. 198 00:10:28.690 --> 00:10:28.909 What? 199 00:10:29.889 --> 00:10:33.000 Come on, Thor. No, you don't. I mean, it talks 200 00:10:33.029 --> 00:10:35.019 to you through your phone. Your computer is this thing 201 00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:37.460 that sits on a shelf somewhere. You don't sit in 202 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.059 front of it. You're mowing the yard. You take your 203 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.299 phone out of your pocket and you say, send the 204 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.919 TPS reports. And then you put your phone back in 205 00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:49.919 your pocket and you keep mowing the yard. That's the 206 00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:53.159 world

we're going to, and Microsoft knows that. Within 10 years, 207 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.039 that's what we're all going to be doing with our computers, guys. 208 00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:57.000 We're not going to be using computers the way we 209 00:10:57.059 --> 00:11:01.980 use them now. But Microsoft is in trouble if they 210 00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:04.240 can't get Windows 11 to be the cornerstone of that 211 00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:07.679 new market. They need Copilot to be good. They need 212 00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:10.970 to have that trust reputation because in a world of AI, 213 00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:13.870 we've discussed this at Schrock, in a world where AI 214 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.809 can make everything better in a workplace, better tools, more efficient, 215 00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:22.559 Easier work. Well, everybody in their brains translates that to 216 00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:28.950 fewer employees. And I translate that to better tools, better productivity, 217 00:11:29.190 --> 00:11:31.750 better service. So I need the same number of employees. 218 00:11:32.149 --> 00:11:35.190 I might need a different skill set in my employment set. 219 00:11:35.629 --> 00:11:39.330 I want maybe more customer service people and fewer superstar 220 00:11:39.389 --> 00:11:43.210 technicians because we don't need all of those superstars anymore. 221 00:11:43.250 --> 00:11:44.830 We can have one or two or three or four 222 00:11:45.470 --> 00:11:48.210 and scale that across the organization pretty easily with A.I. 223 00:11:49.929 --> 00:11:51.769 But I need people up front to talk to the 224 00:11:51.809 --> 00:11:56.840 other humans. People don't want to talk to computers. So 225 00:11:57.029 --> 00:12:00.000 let's be the service leaders. And so Microsoft is trying 226 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.980 to be that service leader. They're trying to rebuild that 227 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:03.840 trust because in a world of AI, trust is all 228 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.919 you have. Trust is the only thing that separates you 229 00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:12.000 from fixmycomputer.com on the internet. That's the only thing that's– 230 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.700 the fact that you know that when you call Schrock, 231 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.480 you're talking to a local company, is somebody that you 232 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.129 can trust. That's the only thing that separates it at 233 00:12:18.149 --> 00:12:21.809 the end of the day. Do you trust Microsoft to 234 00:12:21.850 --> 00:12:25.070 push 26H2 to your computer and not screw it up? 235 00:12:27.090 --> 00:12:29.269 My answer is no, I don't. I see it in 236 00:12:29.289 --> 00:12:32.029 the service centers. It's not a value judgment. It's not 237 00:12:32.090 --> 00:12:34.899 me wishing Microsoft falls on their face or gets sacked. 238 00:12:35.259 --> 00:12:39.240 It's not like that. It's history. It's watching history and 239 00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:43.639 understanding that Dylan Raiola throws 10-yard passes. That's what he does. 240 00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:45.399 And if you do that every play, you get touchdowns 241 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.299 and you win football games. But he's not throwing 45-yard 242 00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:53.340 bombs to people. He can. He just doesn't for some reason. 243 00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:57.409 I don't know why. So when you're putting it all 244 00:12:57.450 --> 00:12:59.850 together and you realize Microsoft is going to push this 245 00:12:59.889 --> 00:13:01.889 to you, you're going to get it. Whether you want 246 00:13:01.929 --> 00:13:04.009 it or not, you're going to get it. And when 247 00:13:04.049 --> 00:13:05.870 you get it, there's a chance that you could end 248 00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:08.399 up with a $ 300 repair bill to have Schrock fix 249 00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:12.889 the damage that Microsoft causes. Those customers are never happy 250 00:13:12.909 --> 00:13:15.850 in the service centers. It's not a great service experience, 251 00:13:15.889 --> 00:13:17.909 not because we did anything wrong, but because it's hard 252 00:13:17.929 --> 00:13:20.909 when you're upset to be a happy customer. That's why 253 00:13:20.950 --> 00:13:24.710 we created Safe Upgrade. Safe Upgrade is a program that 254 00:13:24.850 --> 00:13:29.330 we sell at Schrock that automatically installs this 26H2 update 255 00:13:29.669 --> 00:13:32.710 the exact same way we do it on the bench 256 00:13:32.870 --> 00:13:34.970 in the service center. When our guys install this on 257 00:13:35.009 --> 00:13:38.690 the bench, it's 100% success rate. It works every time, 258 00:13:39.950 --> 00:13:44.539 and there are no consequences. Every time. What are we 259 00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:47.740 doing different than Microsoft? Microsoft is downloading the bits and 260 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.440 the pieces. How little can we send to your computer 261 00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:53.019 and have you get all the features set that you need? 262 00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:56.200 If we miss something, if something gets corrupted, lots of 263 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.710 different pieces, lots of complexity, very complex system, lots of 264 00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:03.450 gears and levers and any one of those things breaks. 265 00:14:03.669 --> 00:14:06.950 Any single gear loses a single tooth and the whole 266 00:14:07.029 --> 00:14:10.679 train comes off the tracks. Well, at Schrock, We bring 267 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:14.740 a locomotive to every install. We install the entire 4.8 268 00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:17.919 gigabyte package every single time. We have all the pieces 269 00:14:17.970 --> 00:14:21.529 with us in a tested environment for every install. Just 270 00:14:21.570 --> 00:14:23.429 that fact alone, we bring the right tools for the 271 00:14:23.470 --> 00:14:27.129 job at the beginning of the job, is probably the 272 00:14:27.169 --> 00:14:29.610 biggest thing we do different. And then, of course, there 273 00:14:29.649 -->

00:14:33.129 are failures. The update fails for lots of reasons. Previous 274 00:14:33.169 --> 00:14:37.799 damage to your computer, settings incompatibilities, security programs. There's lots 275 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.419 of reasons that 26H2 can fail. Well, when it fails 276 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.879 on the bench and we see it fail, we're like, 277 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.639 what happened? Okay. 278 00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:47.059 All right. 279 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.440 Let's take a look at this bad boy. And then 280 00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:52.230 we figure out why it failed and then we make 281 00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:56.950 it not fail. That's what safe upgrade does at home 282 00:14:57.129 --> 00:15:00.350 without you having to bring your computer in through the 283 00:15:00.529 --> 00:15:05.639 torrential rainfall that is Nebraska and Iowa right now. We've 284 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.759 had so much rain guys in September. You know, the 285 00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.259 average amount of rainfall is like 2.5 inches in the 286 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.580 month of September. We've had 4.5 inches of rain. It's 287 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.000 been double the normal amount of rain in the month 288 00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:19.059 of September. The only thing all week long that I 289 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.019 was thinking to myself, well, besides, man, the service centers 290 00:15:22.059 --> 00:15:24.100 are slow because nobody takes their computer out for a 291 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.600 walk in the rain. The only thing I was thinking was, 292 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:33.440 thankful this isn't snow. Could you imagine? Days and days. Boy, 293 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:38.500 you're not kidding. Days of snow. Like the snow thrower. Oh, again. Again? 294 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.389 My shoes aren't even dry from last time. Again? Yeah, it's... 295 00:15:43.590 --> 00:15:45.480 I hope we're not in for that this winter. So 296 00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:49.659 Safe Upgrade is currently available at schrockinnovations.com. You purchase the software. 297 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.159 You're not going to download anything today. You don't have 298 00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:54.309 to do anything today. You just have to get a license. 299 00:15:54.669 --> 00:15:57.509 We only had 600 licenses available at the beginning. We 300 00:15:57.529 --> 00:16:02.809 have 430 left. We're sending the mass email on Monday, tomorrow. 301 00:16:03.490 --> 00:16:05.490 That's when we're going to see a huge drop in 302 00:16:05.509 --> 00:16:07.370 the number of licenses. It's going to get cut in half. 303 00:16:07.909 --> 00:16:11.070 So 430 remain. When those 600 are gone, it's gone 304 00:16:11.149 --> 00:16:13.450 until somebody uses theirs. That'll free up the license, and 305 00:16:13.470 --> 00:16:15.779 then we can sell it to somebody else. But that's 306 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.769 how many people that we can support in real time 307 00:16:17.809 --> 00:16:22.250 if something goes sideways. So make sure you visit schrockinnovations.com 308 00:16:22.309 --> 00:16:24.389 and get a copy of Safe Upgrade for each computer 309 00:16:24.409 --> 00:16:30.009 that you want safely upgraded with Windows 11 26H2. 402-558-1110 310 00:16:30.350 --> 00:16:32.629 is the number to join us on the program. We're 311 00:16:32.649 --> 00:16:35.139 going to give away a $ 25 Schrock Innovations gift certificate 312 00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:37.379 at the end of the show to one lucky caller. 313 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:39.919 Coming up here, guys, I want to encourage you to 314 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:44.000 take a look at schrockinnovations.com slash jobs. Keep an eye 315 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.779 there for new jobs going up. We've got a lot 316 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:51.740 of new positions coming up open soon at Schrock. New positions, not, sorry, 317 00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:55.970 did I say new positions? New positions. New positions. 318 00:16:56.129 --> 00:16:56.789 NEW. 319 00:16:56.889 --> 00:16:57.870 Yeah, NEW. 320 00:16:59.110 --> 00:16:59.350 Wow. 321 00:17:00.309 --> 00:17:04.650 Maybe I'll put the Red Bull down. New positions at Schrock. 322 00:17:05.289 --> 00:17:07.839 We don't have the other type. Please don't. These are 323 00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:10.759 computer repair techs. You don't want to see that. You know, 324 00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:14.819 new positions at Schrock and the new positions. Some of 325 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.589 them are at our new flagship location, the corporate office 326 00:17:17.730 --> 00:17:20.309 of Schrock Innovations on F Street that we're opening up 327 00:17:20.349 --> 00:17:23.450 here this month. So really, really exciting times at Schrock. 328 00:17:24.029 --> 00:17:27.650 Also coming up on the program. If you bought Microsoft Office, 329 00:17:27.670 --> 00:17:29.930 if you had a standalone copy of Microsoft Office, you 330 00:17:29.970 --> 00:17:31.819 bought that so that you don't have to deal with 331 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:35.240 the Microsoft 365 game where they charge you every year. Yeah, 332 00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:37.279 you get the latest software all the time, but Microsoft's 333 00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:40.460 always monkeying with your software. And as we have talked about, 334 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.400 sometimes Microsoft monkeying with your software leads to unintended consequences. 335 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.759 That's exactly what happened to users of Office 2016 and 336 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.430 2019 this week. If you've been having trouble with your 337 00:17:51.470 --> 00:17:54.809 Microsoft Office, Microsoft did that to you. We're going to 338 00:17:54.849 --> 00:17:58.240 tell you what happened and why. Another one, everybody loves 339 00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.240 the Thorstradamus predictions that we do at the end of 340 00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:02.960 every year. It's kind of the New Year's show. What 341 00:18:02.980 -->

00:18:06.410 did we predict last year? What came true? And we're 342 00:18:06.450 --> 00:18:09.029 honest about it. Like the Thorstradamus predictions, we give you– 343 00:18:09.069 --> 00:18:11.910 we make four predictions and here are the four we made. 344 00:18:12.269 --> 00:18:14.910 Did they come true or not? There is no editing. 345 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.640 I mean he just happens to have 100 percent success rate. 346 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.960 I mean it's just– Thorstradamus is that good, right? But 347 00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:25.460 not every futurist or technology prediction or psychic person is 348 00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:29.089 that good. You never hear about the bad things. You 349 00:18:29.109 --> 00:18:31.430 never hear about the failures, right? We're going to give 350 00:18:31.470 --> 00:18:37.150 you the absolute most fail whale AI doom predictions. Not 351 00:18:37.170 --> 00:18:40.349 just AI, just technology predictions. Going back to Albert Einstein. 352 00:18:40.690 --> 00:18:44.420 Albert Einstein had predictions that were so wrong, it's not 353 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.619 even funny. So we're going to give you all the 354 00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:50.500 predictions so that when you hear these doomsday technology predictions 355 00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:52.920 about how this or that technology is going to change 356 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.490 the world and make it destroyed, you'll understand that it's 357 00:18:56.670 --> 00:18:59.430 not that problematic. And then we're going to wrap the 358 00:18:59.450 --> 00:19:02.150 show up with a fun story about a robot arm. 359 00:19:03.670 --> 00:19:07.180 You remember the Iron Man movies? He's got the robot 360 00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:10.410 arm named Dummy. Yeah, how could I forget it? Yeah, Dummy. 361 00:19:10.630 --> 00:19:12.210 Dummy the Robot Arm saved his life in one of 362 00:19:12.250 --> 00:19:15.160 the episodes. Literally saved Tony Stark's life. Yeah, in the 363 00:19:15.339 --> 00:19:17.619 third movie. That's why when Tony's whole house gets burnt down, 364 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:18.960 the only thing he put in the trunk of the 365 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.160 car and drove away with was Dummy. 366 00:19:20.779 --> 00:19:20.940 Yeah. 367 00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:23.680 And a screwdriver. Saved him from the Mandarin. And a screwdriver. 368 00:19:24.109 --> 00:19:27.029 That was it. So anyway, Marvel lesson for you there. 369 00:19:27.950 --> 00:19:30.109 There's a robot arm out there that runs a vending machine. 370 00:19:30.329 --> 00:19:32.150 He works hard every day. You buy a soda, he 371 00:19:32.170 --> 00:19:35.660 gives you a soda. And apparently he's also giving refunds. 372 00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:40.640 So this has led to perhaps you would like to 373 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.559 buy the stock in this company. We're going to tell you, 374 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.720 you don't need to be an AI futurist. to know 375 00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:48.960 that

this business model is not going to hunt. Coming 376 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.039 up next on Compute This. 377 00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:54.440 Have you noticed that almost every piece of technology seems 378 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.759 to do its best to be disposable? Every day, people 379 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.480 toss their phones, tablets, and other electronic devices because they 380 00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:05.539 can't be repaired. Manufacturers have engineered their products to fail 381 00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:08.299 on a schedule so they can extract more money out 382 00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:11.809 of your family budget automatically every year or so. But 383 00:20:11.849 --> 00:20:13.710 what if it didn't have to be that way? What 384 00:20:13.750 --> 00:20:16.690 if you could get the performance of today's fastest computers 385 00:20:16.769 --> 00:20:19.990 with the expansion and upgrade options you used to enjoy? 386 00:20:20.269 --> 00:20:24.279 You just described Schrock's modular desktop computers. Having the right 387 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:27.759 tool for the job is important and Shrock's modular desktop 388 00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:31.680 PCs pack the performance and flexibility to handle your computing 389 00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:35.369 needs from just checking the email to running a complex business. 390 00:20:35.869 --> 00:20:39.470 Modular desktops are engineered to be easily repaired with widely 391 00:20:39.529 --> 00:20:44.319 available industry standard parts. Every component is selected intentionally to 392 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.420 give you years of upgrade and repair options. It is 393 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.880 not uncommon for a Schrock customer to be using the 394 00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:52.950 same computer for a decade after they bought it. Modular 395 00:20:52.990 --> 00:20:56.069 PCs are the most popular custom computers in the Midwest 396 00:20:56.170 --> 00:20:58.970 for a reason. When you are ready for your next computer, 397 00:20:59.069 --> 00:21:01.900 stop in to check out the modular lifestyle or shop 398 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.420 online at schrockinnovations.com. 399 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.380 Schrock Innovations can't teleport technicians to you, but online help 400 00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:11.859 is only a click away with the Schrock desk. Subscribe 401 00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:14.470 today and get unlimited help whenever you need it. 402 00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:19.339 Schrock Innovations solid state laptops are engineered locally for speed 403 00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:23.059 and reliability you just can't get from the major national brands. 404 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.380 Each of our laptops starts off with an Asus chassis. 405 00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:29.319 We remove the stock drives and memory and upgrade them 406 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.240 with higher performing components. This unlocks the full potential of 407 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.289 the laptops. making the unit up to 25% faster. This 408 00:21:37.349 --> 00:21:40.609 is why Schrock solid-state laptops last so much longer than 409 00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:45.329 the competition. If your laptop starts out 25% faster, that 410 00:21:45.390 --> 00:21:48.220 means over time it doesn't slow down nearly as fast. 411 00:21:49.720 --> 00:22:04.900 Seems appropriate. Yeah, yeah, kind of peaceful and quiet. All right. 412 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.150 Welcome back, guys. You're listening to Compute This. My name 413 00:22:08.170 --> 00:22:10.569 is Thor Schrock. I'm the owner of the Schrock Innovations 414 00:22:10.589 --> 00:22:13.190 Computer Company. Service centers are doing a really good job 415 00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:15.559 right now of keeping up on repairs, maintenance, things like that. 416 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:18.460 The rain has helped with that. We've had a much... 417 00:22:19.410 --> 00:22:22.289 a much slower intake than we normally would. So a 418 00:22:22.329 --> 00:22:24.630 lot of basically people with just really, really broken stuff, 419 00:22:25.089 --> 00:22:27.289 not the usual, you know, hey, I want some maintenance 420 00:22:27.349 --> 00:22:28.809 or hey, check this out or hey, I have this 421 00:22:28.849 --> 00:22:31.859 annoying problem. Schrock desk has been very busy as we've 422 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:33.519 been doing a lot of Schrock desk.

Complimentary 426 00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:42.660 pickup and drop off has been very popular with the 427 00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:47.390 gas prices being where they are right now. 402-558-1110 is 428 00:22:47.430 --> 00:22:49.990 the number to join us on the program today. Ask 429 00:22:50.009 --> 00:22:51.730 a question, make a comment, just be a part of 430 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.240 the show in general. We'll put you in the drawing 431 00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:57.880 for that $ 25 Schrock innovations gift certificate. Now we're talking 432 00:22:57.900 --> 00:23:01.039 about the two six H two update and how, you know, 433 00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:04.990 we had, we had a listener on Facebook and, and 434 00:23:05.029 --> 00:23:06.730 he was, he was being genuine. He goes, this sounds 435 00:23:06.750 --> 00:23:08.890 like a scare wear campaign. Like, Hey, you should, you 436 00:23:08.910 --> 00:23:11.609 should buy our product. You should be scared, you know? Um, and, 437 00:23:12.430 --> 00:23:14.470 there is an insurance element to it because if you 438 00:23:14.490 --> 00:23:17.150 purchase safe upgrade and the update, if it doesn't work, 439 00:23:17.289 --> 00:23:19.509 like you, you run the program and something on your 440 00:23:19.549 --> 00:23:22.910 computer is not allowing it to install. Well, you get 441 00:23:22.930 --> 00:23:25.150 a

warranty on the install. I mean, unless the problem 442 00:23:25.190 --> 00:23:27.140 is like, there's something broken on your computer, like your 443 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.619 hard drive is bad. So it won't install. Well, you know, yeah, 444 00:23:30.660 --> 00:23:33.859 that's not going to work. You know, we will, we're 445 00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:35.460 happy to give you your money back for the program 446 00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:38.000 or install it for you in the shop after you 447 00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:40.430 fix the hard drive. Uh, because that's why it's not working. 448 00:23:41.390 --> 00:23:43.009 But if it just fails on its own accord and 449 00:23:43.029 --> 00:23:45.150 there's nothing wrong with your computer, you have a warranty 450 00:23:45.190 --> 00:23:48.410 for that. And that's something that– that's what brings everybody 451 00:23:48.470 --> 00:23:50.309 in because if it fails, it has one of these 452 00:23:50.349 --> 00:23:53.890 catastrophic consequences. You have a warranty for that fix. You're 453 00:23:53.910 --> 00:23:55.640 not spending any money out of pocket to do it. 454 00:23:55.970 --> 00:23:59.289 It's really cheap insurance for $ 65. I mean it's good stuff. 455 00:23:59.670 --> 00:24:03.680 And it gets the update installed for you. But the 456 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:07.079 whole cornerstone of that product is that people don't trust 457 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.200 Microsoft to get the job done right the first time. Well, 458 00:24:11.380 --> 00:24:15.380 here's an example of that. Microsoft breaks Microsoft Office 2016 459 00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:18.980 and 2019. I'm not talking about 365. I'm talking about 460 00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:22.140 you purchased a copy of 2016 or 2019, installed it 461 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.680 on your computer with your little license code, the whole bit, 462 00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:28.019 and you're just trucking along using your same software. Well, 463 00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:31.910 you probably don't know this, but when you purchase a 464 00:24:31.950 --> 00:24:37.250 copy of Microsoft Office, it doesn't work forever. You don't 465 00:24:37.630 --> 00:24:41.720 own Microsoft Office forever. You own a license to use 466 00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:45.970 Microsoft Office for a particular amount of time until the 467 00:24:46.009 --> 00:24:48.970 software is end of life. Now, in the past, before 468 00:24:49.009 --> 00:24:51.349 the internet, there hasn't really been a way to enforce this. 469 00:24:51.690 --> 00:24:55.190 So people used Office 2010 for a decade, two decades. 470 00:24:55.529 --> 00:24:57.099 We still have people coming in that are on Office 471 00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:59.680 2010 and we're like, you need to stop. This is bad. 472 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:01.640 Can you move it to my new computer? No, we 473 00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.680 can't do that. The activation servers are offline. Bill Gates 474 00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:07.799 was still in charge of Microsoft when this thing was 475 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.740 made like that. You just missed the entire Steve Ballmer era. 476 00:25:11.869 --> 00:25:15.710 I mean, just, you know, so Microsoft pushes a Windows 477 00:25:15.829 --> 00:25:19.630 update automatic to your computer that says, hey, if you 478 00:25:19.650 --> 00:25:22.690 have a really ancient version of Microsoft Office, time to 479 00:25:22.730 --> 00:25:23.390 put that to bed. 480 00:25:23.930 --> 00:25:24.279 Sorry. 481 00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:29.099 And turns it off. So you wake up one morning 482 00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:32.349 and the Microsoft Office 2010 or 2013, those were the 483 00:25:32.369 --> 00:25:36.509 intended targets that you paid for, just stops working. We 484 00:25:36.529 --> 00:25:41.109 sold a lot of copies of Office last week. Except 485 00:25:41.509 --> 00:25:45.109 Office 2016 and 2019 are still under service. They're still supported. 486 00:25:46.509 --> 00:25:49.990 And they shut those off too. So anybody who had 487 00:25:50.069 --> 00:25:52.549 Office 2016 or 2019, it just stopped working all of 488 00:25:52.589 --> 00:25:56.170 a sudden. Microsoft acknowledged the fix. They. 489 00:25:59.099 --> 00:26:01.240 The update was supposed to be an optional update. I 490 00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.480 don't know how many times you can screw this up. 491 00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:05.579 Number one, it broke everything. Number two, the update, you 492 00:26:05.619 --> 00:26:08.000 weren't even supposed to get it. It was supposed to 493 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.609 be an optional update, an update installed by IT professionals 494 00:26:11.950 --> 00:26:14.750 to make sure that the stupid people working in an 495 00:26:14.849 --> 00:26:18.069 office didn't use really ancient software that exposed the company 496 00:26:18.109 --> 00:26:23.599 to risks. Instead, it was made a required update and 497 00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:27.250 automatically downloaded to you and installed on your computer. So 498 00:26:27.329 --> 00:26:29.890 they screwed up. The update itself was broken. You weren't 499 00:26:29.930 --> 00:26:32.349 supposed to get it, but you got it anyway. So 500 00:26:32.390 --> 00:26:36.329 Microsoft has paused that update. And what's the fix? Well, 501 00:26:36.529 --> 00:26:41.069 you need to reenter your product key. You have that 502 00:26:41.109 --> 00:26:48.599 little piece of cardboard, right? With the key on it. Right? Yeah, 503 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:50.640 that's always a problem. If you have a newer version, 504 00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:54.900 like 2016, 2019, a lot of those are saved in 505 00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:59.980 your Microsoft account. You know the login to your Microsoft account, right? Right? 506 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:02.319 I just used my PIN to sign into the computer. 507 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:03.319 Oh. 508 00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:05.720 Well, we need to reset that password for you. Let's 509 00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:10.150 go through that. So there

you go, guys. Microsoft can't 510 00:27:10.230 --> 00:27:14.069 even update Office, and they're going to update your entire 511 00:27:14.109 --> 00:27:16.089 computer with 26H2. Just saying. 512 00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:17.039 402-558-1110. 513 00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.269 Lillian, welcome to the program. How can I help you 514 00:27:20.329 --> 00:27:21.140 uncompute this today? 515 00:27:23.390 --> 00:27:25.710 Hi, Phil. I love your program, by the way. I 516 00:27:25.730 --> 00:27:31.609 love your people. Thank you. My problem is, well, my 517 00:27:31.630 --> 00:27:36.410 safe upgrader, you know, you have the little shield symbol there, 518 00:27:36.470 --> 00:27:40.950 whatever it is, and it is red. And I do 519 00:27:41.009 --> 00:27:45.200 shut down my computer every day. And it comes up first. 520 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:45.980 It's yellow. 521 00:27:46.140 --> 00:27:49.779 Then it's red. So I'm not sure what it's doing. 522 00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.900 Gotcha. When it's red, that means there's an application that 523 00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:56.509 needs to be installed that can't be installed for some reason. Now, 524 00:27:56.609 --> 00:27:58.990 you're right. The most common reason that happens is the 525 00:27:59.049 --> 00:28:01.890 application is in use. If you have your browser open, 526 00:28:02.069 --> 00:28:06.500 we don't want to force close your browser, install an update, 527 00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:08.690 and reopen your browser again. because you're going to lose 528 00:28:08.710 --> 00:28:11.200 whatever you're potentially working on. If you're filling out, if 529 00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:13.920 you're in the middle of a checkout and you, and 530 00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:15.880 it's like, you know, the timer's taken down, you're trying 531 00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:18.420 to buy movie theater tickets or something. And then boom, 532 00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:20.539 we just decided to update your browser in that moment. 533 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.819 It's not, it's not cool to rip somebody's browser out 534 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.259 from under them. So secure updater waits. But when you 535 00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:29.700 restart the computer, nothing's running at that point. And so 536 00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.420 it'll try to go ahead and, and do the update 537 00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:35.059 at that point. If it's not, if it's failing still 538 00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:38.539 at that point, odds are that there is some application 539 00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.339 installed on your computer that's broken. We can't install over 540 00:28:42.380 --> 00:28:44.319 the top of it. So the way we would figure 541 00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:46.359 this out is that red shield that you have down 542 00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:48.200 there by the clock, not the one that's in the 543 00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:50.519 middle of your desktop somewhere, but the one that's down 544 00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.660 by the clock down there, if that's the one that's red, 545 00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.960 right-click on it, and then you can say Show Secure Updater. 546 00:28:58.690 --> 00:29:02.490 And it'll bring up that window for Secure Updater, and 547 00:29:02.509 --> 00:29:08.700 you click on the Programs tab. The Word program? Yeah, 548 00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:11.180 the Word program is on the left side. And this 549 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:13.079 is going to show you all the programs that are 550 00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:16.539 selected on your computer, what's getting installed. And it'll show 551 00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.309 you the installed version and the current version. Well, one 552 00:29:19.329 --> 00:29:21.990 of those is going to be outdated. One of it's 553 00:29:22.009 --> 00:29:23.910 going to say the installed version is lower than the 554 00:29:23.950 --> 00:29:26.910 current version. That's the one that's giving you trouble. Now, 555 00:29:27.269 --> 00:29:30.730 you can do all this. You can troubleshoot it yourself, 556 00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:33.440 and some people enjoy doing that kind of thing. If 557 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.500 you are one of the people that does not enjoy 558 00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:38.349 doing that kind of thing, This is why you call 559 00:29:38.369 --> 00:29:40.619 the service center we can pop in on a schrock 560 00:29:40.630 --> 00:29:43.059 desk call connect to you remotely and take a look 561 00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.640 at this and there's no charge for that connection you 562 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.420 pay for secure updated we want to make sure the 563 00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:50.220 software is working for you so if you this is 564 00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:52.039 how you how we would check it to see what 565 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.980 application isn't working right then we would simply uninstall that 566 00:29:56.059 --> 00:30:00.150 application from the computer and then restart the computer Secure 567 00:30:00.170 --> 00:30:02.700 Updater takes care of the rest. It downloads, it updates, 568 00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:04.759 it does everything on its own from that point forward. 569 00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:08.019 So that's usually what's going on if this is the case, Lillian, 570 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.099 where it's not doing an update. 571 00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:13.880 Okay, because I'm looking at all the programs, and the 572 00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:14.660 ones that I. 573 00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:21.410 Selected do appear to be the current version, but I'm 574 00:30:22.130 --> 00:30:25.769 not completely 100% knowledgeable as to what I'm looking at, 575 00:30:25.829 --> 00:30:28.289 so I guess I will give them a call tomorrow. 576 00:30:28.690 --> 00:30:30.809 Sounds good, Lillian.

It's unfortunate, but sometimes the technology we 617 00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:29.509 rely on simply fails. And the last question you want 618 00:32:29.529 --> 00:32:32.089 to hear at that time is, you have a backup, right? 619 00:32:32.769 --> 00:32:35.750 When your hard drive, memory card, backup drive, or flash 620 00:32:35.789 --> 00:32:38.990 drive fails you, turn to the data recovery experts at 621 00:32:39.069 --> 00:32:42.950 Schrock Innovations to get those pictures, songs, and memories back. 622 00:32:43.410 --> 00:32:46.089 You know, not all data recovery companies are the same. 623 00:32:46.529 --> 00:32:49.009 Having the right tools and knowledge to get the job 624 00:32:49.029 --> 00:32:51.670 done right on the first attempt makes all the difference 625 00:32:51.710 --> 00:32:55.039 between a successful recovery and the permanent loss of your 626 00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:57.940 important data. Sometimes you only get one shot at a 627 00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.400 successful recovery. That's why Schrock has invested in top of 628 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:06.779 the line recovery imagers. a Class 100 clean environment, over 10,000 629 00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:09.940 donor components, and a staff of recovery engineers that are 630 00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:13.529 the best in the business. Schrock has a 96% recovery 631 00:33:13.589 --> 00:33:16.970 rate getting data back from failed devices. When the unthinkable 632 00:33:17.029 --> 00:33:19.549 happens and you need your data back, turn to the 633 00:33:19.650 --> 00:33:24.650 experts at Schrock Innovations for professional and affordable data recovery services. 634 00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:34.599 All righty, guys, welcome back into Compute This. My name's 635 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.410 Thor Schrock. I'm the owner of the Schrock Innovations Computer Company, 636 00:33:37.430 --> 00:33:40.930 where we've got four locations, four actual physical places you 637 00:33:40.970 --> 00:33:45.049 can actually physically go to get your computer fixed. Imagine that. 638 00:33:45.569 --> 00:33:49.990 You know, remember back in my day, we went to 639 00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:54.660 the mall and we bought things. We hung out. We 640 00:33:54.779 --> 00:33:56.519 had no money, but we went to the mall to 641 00:33:56.579 --> 00:34:00.099 not buy things. It was crazy, right? And then now 642 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.730 kids are like, that'd be so wild. Like I just 643 00:34:02.750 --> 00:34:05.509 sit on my Xbox and talk to my friends. Like 644 00:34:05.869 --> 00:34:08.250 we didn't have an Xbox. We had to go somewhere 645 00:34:08.289 --> 00:34:09.630 and talk to our friends and we didn't want to, 646 00:34:09.969 --> 00:34:11.929 you know, you had the cord on the kitchen phone 647 00:34:11.949 --> 00:34:15.320 on

the wall, you know, that's pretty short. So technology 648 00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:16.539 has come a long way since then. 649 00:34:16.579 --> 00:34:16.780 Right? 650 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:20.480 So I've got some predictions here. These are, these are 651 00:34:20.539 --> 00:34:24.780 predictions that actual futurists made about technology, how it was 652 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.030 going to impact everybody in the future. These are kind 653 00:34:27.070 --> 00:34:31.570 of fun. Um, These are the misses, by the way. 654 00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:34.039 These are the things that nobody talks about. Albert Einstein 655 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:38.059 in 1934 said nuclear power was impossible. He said it 656 00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:41.280 would require you to split the atom at will. One 657 00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:46.699 year later, a university created the first chain reaction, nuclear 658 00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:49.909 chain reaction. So it was the first precursor to nuclear power. 659 00:34:50.389 --> 00:34:54.309 So even Einstein gets them wrong. This guy named Metcalf 660 00:34:54.409 --> 00:35:00.769 in 1995 said the Internet was going to collapse by 1996. Okay, well, 661 00:35:01.449 --> 00:35:06.199 that's funny. The Washington Post in 1982 said, because the 662 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:09.739 Washington Post knows their stuff, that computers are going to 663 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.699 kill all clerical jobs. There are no more clerical jobs. 664 00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:17.500 I bet you didn't know that. Our new flagship location, 665 00:35:18.139 --> 00:35:21.019 we're in the same building as the Omaha Metro Credit Union. 666 00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:24.219 There's a lot of people working in the Omaha Metro 667 00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:28.010 Credit Union doing a lot of clerical things. Nobody told 668 00:35:28.050 --> 00:35:30.750 them that their jobs were gone in 1982. It's crazy. 669 00:35:33.389 --> 00:35:37.599 Critics in 1983 said the pocket calculator was going to 670 00:35:37.739 --> 00:35:41.119 rot kids' brains because they would not learn how to 671 00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:45.429 math anymore. The pocket calculator. What ended up happening was 672 00:35:45.469 --> 00:35:48.650 the pocket calculator just redefined what math you needed to 673 00:35:48.690 --> 00:35:50.949 do in your head versus what math you could do 674 00:35:51.030 --> 00:35:55.980 reliably with a calculator. Critics, let's see. YouTube. This is 675 00:35:56.019 --> 00:36:00.190 the guy, the creator of YouTube. The guy that made 676 00:36:00.230 --> 00:36:02.969 it and sold it to Google for like a bajillion dollars. 677 00:36:04.030 --> 00:36:06.750 In 2005, one year before he sells it to Google, 678 00:36:06.789 --> 00:36:09.639 he says, honestly, there's not that many videos online I 679 00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:14.699 really want to watch. The creator of YouTube didn't think 680 00:36:14.739 --> 00:36:16.300 YouTube was going to make it because there's not very 681 00:36:16.500 --> 00:36:22.380 many videos I want to watch. Steve Ballmer, 2007. This 682 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.000 iPhone thing isn't going to catch on. Not a chance. 683 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:32.030 Not a chance. No market share for the iPhone. All right, Steve. 684 00:36:32.130 --> 00:36:38.429 In 2016, Hinton said, stop training radiologists. This is 2016. 685 00:36:38.429 --> 00:36:41.630 Now Hinton, who is Hinton? He is called the godfather 686 00:36:41.730 --> 00:36:44.449 of AI. He was doing the AI thing before AI 687 00:36:44.489 --> 00:36:48.670 was a thing. And he said, stop training radiologists because 688 00:36:48.710 --> 00:36:52.230 it's completely obvious that deep learning like IBM's Watson deep 689 00:36:52.269 --> 00:36:56.809 learning is so much better at reading, you know, radiology 690 00:36:56.849 --> 00:36:59.860 reports that we don't need humans anymore. What ended up 691 00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:04.000 happening instead? We have like double the number of radiologists 692 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:07.880 now that we had back then because the population got older, 693 00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:11.670 imaging scans got cheaper and the AI got it wrong 694 00:37:11.849 --> 00:37:15.150 a lot of times. Now the humans working with the 695 00:37:15.230 --> 00:37:19.530 AI are, is a bang-up combination. Apparently, they can detect 696 00:37:19.590 --> 00:37:21.809 a whole lot more together than either one of them 697 00:37:21.869 --> 00:37:23.070 can detect separately. 698 00:37:23.769 --> 00:37:24.090 Hmm. 699 00:37:24.510 --> 00:37:26.909 Funny how that worked. He was the godfather of AI, 700 00:37:26.949 --> 00:37:27.610 and he got it wrong. 701 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:28.699 Elon. 702 00:37:29.110 --> 00:37:32.360 Our good buddy Elon in 2013. We will have self-driving 703 00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:35.559 cars in three years. 90% of all the miles driven 704 00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.900 on the road could be self-driven. There's no reason they 705 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:43.099 shouldn't be in the next three years. That was in 2013. Yeah, 706 00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.099 my Blue Cruise is all right, but I'm not sure 707 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:48.909 it's worth $ 425 a year. So these are all headlines, guys. 708 00:37:48.949 --> 00:37:51.150 None of them came true. All of these were headlines 709 00:37:51.190 --> 00:37:54.239 at the time. They were people got upset about them. 710 00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:57.539 People got worked up about them. People got scared by them. 711 00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:00.760 And not a single one of these headlines ever came true. 712 00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:05.059 So I'm watching the Huskers game yesterday. And, you know, 713 00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.630 it's a pretty solid performance. You know, I wish we'd 714 00:38:08.690 --> 00:38:11.070 there'd have been, you know, fewer penalties and fewer injuries like. 715 00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:14.440 It was almost like, can we play football, or is 716 00:38:14.460

--> 00:38:18.519 this an ER episode? It was bad. Just people going 717 00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:20.960 down left and right. You don't want to see that. Yeah, 718 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:23.320 the other team lost more players than we did, but 719 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.159 you don't want to see all these young guys getting 720 00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:29.960 hurt like that. But the thing that really interested me 721 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:36.179 about that game was the commercials. We're in political season, guys, 722 00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:40.769 so there's all kinds of commercials. Some of those commercials 723 00:38:40.809 --> 00:38:45.510 were sharp. Like they were throwing elbows, right? And then, 724 00:38:45.550 --> 00:38:49.170 of course, you have the obligatory commercial. And that's why 725 00:38:49.269 --> 00:38:56.280 I oppose data centers. And, oh, it gave me the ick. 726 00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:58.820 That's what the girls say. It gave me the ick. Yeah, 727 00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.679 I didn't like it. Why don't I like it? Let 728 00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:05.489 me tell you. Now, I'm going to preface this because 729 00:39:06.369 --> 00:39:08.550 I tell you things that are true on this program. 730 00:39:09.570 --> 00:39:12.469 I am not running for office. I don't need your vote. 731 00:39:13.570 --> 00:39:16.630 What I need is you to choose my business for 732 00:39:16.650 --> 00:39:20.679 your next computer or next computer repair. And that's based 733 00:39:20.739 --> 00:39:24.840 on trust. So when I tell you something, it needs 734 00:39:24.900 --> 00:39:27.460 to be true. You need to know that you can 735 00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:30.210 trust what I'm saying is true. That is why in 736 00:39:30.269 --> 00:39:34.900 the midst of COVID, I literally got on the microphone 737 00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.139 at KFAB, not just on the compute this program, but 738 00:39:37.179 --> 00:39:41.420 on the afternoon show on KFAB. And I said, masks 739 00:39:41.460 --> 00:39:48.130 don't work. The science says masks don't do anything. Not 740 00:39:48.369 --> 00:39:49.929 a single, if you have a cold or a flu 741 00:39:49.969 --> 00:39:52.130 and you wear a mask to work, I hope you 742 00:39:52.170 --> 00:39:55.210 feel better. I hope the mask gives you some psychological 743 00:39:55.250 --> 00:39:59.369 comfort because that's all it's doing. Masks stop wet particulates. 744 00:39:59.670 --> 00:40:05.099 That's it. That's what they're designed to do. It wasn't 745 00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:08.900 very popular at the time. Oh yeah, the whole natural 746 00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:12.389 immunity thing. That one got me in trouble. You know, 747 00:40:12.409 --> 00:40:14.469 the human body is an amazing vehicle and it tends 748 00:40:14.510 --> 00:40:17.849 to defeat viruses and infections on its own without an injection. 749 00:40:20.210 --> 00:40:23.570 I did a segment. Are you going to get the vaccine? 750 00:40:24.190 --> 00:40:25.690 Every single caller called in and said they were going 751 00:40:25.710 --> 00:40:27.190 to get it because they loved the people around them 752 00:40:27.210 --> 00:40:28.489 and they wanted to make sure they didn't get sick. 753 00:40:28.510 --> 00:40:31.739 It wasn't about their health. It was about helping other 754 00:40:31.780 --> 00:40:34.940 people stay healthy. And now we know after the fact 755 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:37.420 that the vaccine actually probably caused more harm than it 756 00:40:37.460 --> 00:40:41.840 did good. And Fauci was pleading the Fifth Amendment, won't 757 00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:48.260 testify about it. So I was right. It wasn't popular, 758 00:40:48.420 --> 00:40:52.469 and I said it anyway. Guys, the whole COVID thing, 759 00:40:54.489 --> 00:40:56.429 let me show you what a PSYOP looks like, a 760 00:40:56.489 --> 00:41:02.139 psychological operation. This is an AstroTurf campaign. An anthropic researcher 761 00:41:02.179 --> 00:41:07.159 comes out and says, I worked at Anthropic for six months, 762 00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:10.349 and what I saw there just– terrified me so much 763 00:41:10.409 --> 00:41:12.289 that I just left and now I'm going to go 764 00:41:12.309 --> 00:41:18.289 do a whirlwind press tour funded by an anti-AI lobby. Yeah. 765 00:41:18.610 --> 00:41:20.769 Brett Baer asked, is there any money back in what 766 00:41:20.789 --> 00:41:24.159 you're doing? Full well knowing that the whole interview was 767 00:41:24.300 --> 00:41:28.559 organized by an anti-AI lobby. What a disingenuous, the guy said, 768 00:41:28.579 --> 00:41:30.940 I mean, the guy said, no, there's no money involved 769 00:41:30.980 --> 00:41:34.059 here at all. And Brett's like, okay, next question. You know, 770 00:41:34.380 --> 00:41:39.130 it's like, there's no follow up there. Another anthropic researcher 771 00:41:39.170 --> 00:41:44.210 comes out and he's like, there's a 90% chance that 772 00:41:44.349 --> 00:41:47.050 AI is going to kill every human being on the 773 00:41:47.130 --> 00:41:53.150 planet within 10 years. All right. Say that again slow. 774 00:41:53.769 --> 00:41:57.670 A 90% chance. That means a near certainty. If you 775 00:41:57.690 --> 00:42:01.869 said the Huskers are 90% certain to beat Oregon, you'd 776 00:42:01.909 --> 00:42:06.010 be pretty confident going into that game, right? Not sure 777 00:42:06.030 --> 00:42:08.179 that's really the odds, but You know, you'd be really 778 00:42:08.219 --> 00:42:11.599 confident going into that game. 90% certainty that within 10 years, 779 00:42:11.940 --> 00:42:17.760 you and everyone you know will be dead. Thanks, AI. 780 00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:20.280 Best we better stop the data centers now before we're 781 00:42:20.300 --> 00:42:23.639 all dead. Does that sound familiar? Best go get your 782 00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:27.780 shot before everyone you love around you is dead. Because 783 00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.159 you were selfish and you didn't get a shot. Sound

familiar? 784 00:42:35.449 --> 00:42:41.500 Sam Altman. chief executive of OpenAI, and Dario, we got 785 00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:43.679 to pump the brakes, Anthropic CEO. We got to pump 786 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:46.099 the brakes on AI. It's getting out of hand. We're 787 00:42:46.139 --> 00:42:49.059 moving too fast. Meanwhile, both of them, within 10 days, 788 00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:52.389 released new, more powerful models than the world has ever 789 00:42:52.449 --> 00:42:56.670 seen before. Opus 5.5 is flipping fantastic. If you haven't 790 00:42:56.710 --> 00:42:58.469 tried it, you need to try it. It's just amazing. 791 00:42:59.809 --> 00:43:02.150 Mark Zuckerberg is still a Facebook guy. He's still like, 792 00:43:02.190 --> 00:43:05.280 trust me, bro. We don't need any regulation. Just trust me, bro. 793 00:43:06.219 --> 00:43:06.320 Okay. 794 00:43:06.949 --> 00:43:08.610 That's the Zuck right there. That's the Zuck we all 795 00:43:08.619 --> 00:43:12.030 know and love. Anthropic has an IPO coming up. Big money, 796 00:43:12.190 --> 00:43:16.690 big money stuff. Oracle, force majeure. That's a fancy word 797 00:43:16.710 --> 00:43:18.769 for saying they want out of their big AI data 798 00:43:18.809 --> 00:43:21.469 center in Texas. They can't get out. So their stock 799 00:43:21.510 --> 00:43:25.349 is tanking because apparently there's some reason that this data 800 00:43:25.389 --> 00:43:27.250 center is not, they can't get power availability. There's going 801 00:43:27.269 --> 00:43:29.579 to be a big delay. Texas is coming out and saying, oh, 802 00:43:29.590 --> 00:43:35.110 we don't like data centers now. Fear sells. Fear gets votes. 803 00:43:38.489 --> 00:43:46.570 OpenAI caught China directly pushing an anti-AI AstroTurf campaign. That's 804 00:43:46.590 --> 00:43:49.349 where the money's coming from. That's where the politicians are 805 00:43:49.389 --> 00:43:51.989 getting their money. Of course, not directly from China. It's 806 00:43:52.010 --> 00:43:53.909 going through a number of hands before it gets to 807 00:43:53.929 --> 00:43:57.429 the politicians. So the politicians all can claim and probably 808 00:43:57.570 --> 00:44:00.199 some of them even believe that this money is just 809 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.519 clean contributions to their campaign as long as they take 810 00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:09.760 the anti-AI line. Follow the money. We told you about 811 00:44:09.780 --> 00:44:12.980 all the things that were true before that were not popular. 812 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.260 And I know a lot of people, the reason that 813 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:17.500 politicians are saying these nasty things about data centers is 814 00:44:17.539 --> 00:44:20.420 because people don't like AI and they can't quite put 815 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:22.820 their finger on what they don't like about AI. So 816 00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:27.159 when you give it a target, a data center, that's 817 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.239 the thing I'm going to attack. You can't really attack AI. 818 00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:33.619 How do you fight AI? Well, I can fight the 819 00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:36.500 data centers in my community. That's what I can do. 820 00:44:37.659 --> 00:44:42.280 Data centers... are just warehouses full of computers. They don't 821 00:44:42.340 --> 00:44:46.960 drink water. Most of them use closed water cycle loops, honestly. 822 00:44:48.820 --> 00:44:53.130 They're not destroying the environment. They're not soaking up the 823 00:44:53.170 --> 00:44:57.750 groundwater and dumping it into a river in Omaha. Those 824 00:44:57.789 --> 00:45:01.329 are all fake. None of that's happening. But yet you 825 00:45:01.389 --> 00:45:03.380 hear about that. So the next time you see a 826 00:45:03.409 --> 00:45:06.079 political commercial talking about how I'm against data centers and 827 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.500 you should be too, or anything like that, anything that's 828 00:45:09.539 --> 00:45:12.340 just that, that fear response, that's stoking a fear response. 829 00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.460 They're going to take away your social security, stoking a 830 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:17.300 fear response. They're going to take away. You're going to 831 00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:19.539 push grandma. Remember Paul Ryan was going to push grandma 832 00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:21.760 off the cliff in a wheelchair and take away her 833 00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:28.780 Medicaid fear response. You're being manipulated. So you heard it 834 00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:30.809 here first guys. The truth will come out. 835 00:45:30.829 --> 00:45:31.590 402-558-1110. 836 00:45:31.650 --> 00:45:34.369 We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, Dave, 837 00:45:34.389 --> 00:45:37.670 your call and also this robot arm at the Los 838 00:45:37.730 --> 00:45:42.239 Angeles airport that sent its company $ 10. 5 million in the 839 00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:46.519 red last quarter on Perrier. That's a lot of Perrier. 840 00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:48.860 We're going to tell you what the robot arm did 841 00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:50.059 coming up next on Compute This. 842 00:45:51.190 --> 00:45:54.110 Laptops are subjected to some of the most stressful computing 843 00:45:54.130 --> 00:45:58.610 situations imaginable. They get dropped, stepped on, slapped shut, and 844 00:45:58.730 --> 00:46:02.389 pushed until the battery dies sometimes. Your laptop works hard 845 00:46:02.429 --> 00:46:04.670 for you, so when it has a problem, take it 846 00:46:04.690 --> 00:46:08.530 to the laptop expert at Schrock Innovations. Schrock has four 847 00:46:08.570 --> 00:46:12.150 convenient service centers in Nebraska and Iowa with more than 848 00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:14.989 100 total bench spots to get your technology up and 849 00:46:15.030 --> 00:46:18.599 running again. Schrock has the largest supply of replacement components 850 00:46:18.719 --> 00:46:21.659 in stock and we fix more laptops than any other 851

00:46:21.699 --> 00:46:24.920 nearby repair center. Why wait weeks to get your computer fixed? 852 00:46:25.019 --> 00:46:27.820 When Schrock can diagnose the problem, provide you with a 853 00:46:27.929 --> 00:46:30.849 friendly and accurate estimate, and fix it usually in two 854 00:46:30.909 --> 00:46:33.510 days or less. Remember, if you have never been into 855 00:46:33.570 --> 00:46:36.820 our service centers before, new customers get their first hour 856 00:46:36.860 --> 00:46:39.780 of labor free. So the next time your laptop screen 857 00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:43.090 gets cracked... the keys pop off your keyboard, or your 858 00:46:43.170 --> 00:46:46.159 two-year-old decides a glass of milk is exactly what your 859 00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:48.840 laptop needs to cool off, take it to Schrock and 860 00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:51.860 let your local laptop repair experts get it back in. 861 00:46:51.820 --> 00:46:52.800 Top shape again. 862 00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:57.079 DriveAdvisor is a free program from Schrock Innovations that monitors 863 00:46:57.099 --> 00:46:59.590 your hard drive's health and tells you if it's going bad. 864 00:46:59.909 --> 00:47:02.150 Download it for free at DriveAdvisor.com. 865 00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:06.679 Remember the good old days when virus detection worked like 866 00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:09.949 where's Waldo? Spot the virus in the striped shirt and 867 00:47:09.969 --> 00:47:14.210 you win. Today's infections are changing hourly to avoid detection 868 00:47:14.329 --> 00:47:17.679 and use social engineering to trick you into making mistakes. 869 00:47:18.300 --> 00:47:22.000 Using yesterday's security to defend against today's threats is like 870 00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.389 using leeches to stop an infection. It just doesn't work. 871 00:47:25.889 --> 00:47:32.170 We recommend Sophos Intercept X, antivirus backed by Schrock's virus-free guarantee. 872 00:47:32.670 --> 00:47:35.530 Sophos uses the power of AI to detect the patterns 873 00:47:35.550 --> 00:47:38.639 of a virus attack and responds with Schrock's custom actions 874 00:47:38.659 --> 00:47:42.840 that stop it fast. With Sophos on your PC, Mac, Android, 875 00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:46.480 or iOS device, you get the state-of-the-art protection you need 876 00:47:46.780 --> 00:47:50.489 to defend against the most advanced attacks out there. In fact, 877 00:47:50.670 --> 00:47:54.090 if your device gets a virus while running Sophos antivirus, 878 00:47:54.469 --> 00:47:58.130 Schrock will remove it for free, guaranteed. It hasn't happened yet, 879 00:47:58.230 --> 00:48:00.550 and we intend to keep it that way. Ditch your 880 00:48:00.610 --> 00:48:04.539 dad's antivirus and keep your device, data, and identity safe 881 00:48:04.900 --> 00:48:07.059 with Sophos and Schrock Innovations. 882 00:48:15.869 --> 00:48:17.769 All righty, guys. Welcome back to Compute This. I'm going 883 00:48:17.789 --> 00:48:20.670 through some of the comments here at Facebook.com slash Schrock Innovations. 884 00:48:20.710 --> 00:48:21.110 And, Bonnie. 885 00:48:22.579 --> 00:48:24.380 You know, you have to be tolerant of people who 886 00:48:24.420 --> 00:48:27.139 disagree with you here. And Bonnie has posted a comment 887 00:48:27.179 --> 00:48:30.989 and says, I do believe that there is a 90% 888 00:48:30.989 --> 00:48:34.809 chance that I will be dead in 10 years. Not me, her. 889 00:48:35.050 --> 00:48:38.010 She's talking about herself. I believe there's a 90% chance 890 00:48:38.030 --> 00:48:40.489 I'm going to kill you. No, I believe that there's 891 00:48:40.530 --> 00:48:42.789 a 90% chance that I'll be dead in 10 years. 892 00:48:43.469 --> 00:48:45.320 And then there's some asterisks here. She says, of course, 893 00:48:45.820 --> 00:48:49.489 I'm 79. I've had cancer twice. Two small strokes, a 894 00:48:49.530 --> 00:48:51.929 half page of chronic health conditions. And by the way, 895 00:48:51.989 --> 00:48:54.710 I love the service that Schrock has. And I have 896 00:48:54.730 --> 00:48:56.250 the text come to my house to pick up my 897 00:48:56.309 --> 00:49:00.440 stuff all the time. Bonnie, she's got a sense of 898 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:02.880 humor about it, at least, you know, but but that's 899 00:49:02.900 --> 00:49:05.019 the thing, guys. You know, when you hear these kind 900 00:49:05.059 --> 00:49:07.920 of outlandish things like 90 percent chance that the human 901 00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.849 race will be extinct, like say it out loud. And 902 00:49:10.869 --> 00:49:14.820 does it sound stupid? Like there wasn't even a 90% chance. 903 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.849 Even Fauci didn't say there was a 95% chance that 904 00:49:17.869 --> 00:49:20.929 you were going to all die of COVID. I mean, 905 00:49:22.380 --> 00:49:25.559 but AI is going to get you COVID couldn't come on. Maybe, 906 00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:26.980 maybe AI makes the new COVID. 907 00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:27.539 Ooh. 908 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:32.699 Yeah. Is that the plot of the next terminator? It's 909 00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:34.400 gotta be, it's gotta be a biological weapon. 910 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:34.980 All right. 911 00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:37.659 Last call of the day here, Dave, welcome to the program. 912 00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:39.119 What can I do for you on compute this today? 913 00:49:40.829 --> 00:49:44.460 Morning, Thor. Morning. I have a question for you. I 914 00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:48.659 did get a copy of the 26H2 update and waiting 915 00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:50.860 on that, but this is more of a question about 916 00:49:51.619 --> 00:49:54.739 the Tuesday, the second Tuesday of the month, once they 917 00:49:54.780 --> 00:49:59.159 push out. Is there a possibility that they can sometimes 918 00:49:59.340 --> 00:50:05.619 corrupt or mess up programs or apps that are not Microsoft? 919 00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:10.699 Typically not. If it does, and it has happened before, 920 00:50:11.159 -->

00:50:13.340 but it isn't because they messed with the apps themselves. 921 00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:14.980 This is a great question. Thank you for the call, Dave. 922 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.679 It's not because they messed with the apps themselves. It's 923 00:50:17.719 --> 00:50:20.199 because that something the app depended on in the computer 924 00:50:20.590 --> 00:50:25.630 was broken. So for example, if this particular program interacts 925 00:50:25.650 --> 00:50:27.570 with the network card in such a way to get 926 00:50:27.630 --> 00:50:29.869 access to the internet and they change the way the 927 00:50:29.929 --> 00:50:33.250 network card works and it has a knock-on effect to 928 00:50:33.289 --> 00:50:35.170 that program. So it wasn't like they were monkeying with 929 00:50:35.190 --> 00:50:38.530 the program itself. but they changed something the program uses 930 00:50:38.590 --> 00:50:42.010 in Windows, and now something's not compatible anymore. The same 931 00:50:42.050 --> 00:50:45.489 reason I'm terrified to upgrade my mom. Every time there's 932 00:50:45.530 --> 00:50:47.230 a new version of Windows 11 that comes out, I 933 00:50:47.269 --> 00:50:49.969 have to ask myself, is Scrabble from 1999 going to 934 00:50:50.429 --> 00:50:53.739 still work on this computer? It may not. There may 935 00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:56.500 be something that is dependent that is gone now, and 936 00:50:56.599 --> 00:51:00.699 it just won't work anymore. So legit reasons, legit things. Now, 937 00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:04.440 speaking of legit things, there's this robot arm at the 938 00:51:04.539 --> 00:51:08.300 Los Angeles airport. So imagine a bar, like a bartender, right? 939 00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:11.420 It's like an airport bar, but it's got bottled water, drinks, 940 00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:13.719 Red Bull, stuff like that. And then you go up 941 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:15.360 to the thing and you pay for you, you order 942 00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:18.079 a Perrier and you pay for it. And the robot 943 00:51:18.099 --> 00:51:20.739 arm goes and it reaches behind it and reaches into 944 00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:23.880 the cool, the case, like the refrigerated case, grabs your 945 00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:27.320 bottle of Perrier, brings it back around and sets it 946 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:29.679 on the counter in front of you. And you pick 947 00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:31.420 up your bottle and you say, thanks, robot arm, and 948 00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:35.780 you walk away to your plane. A lot of things 949 00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:38.239 had to happen for that to work. You had to 950 00:51:38.260 --> 00:51:40.920 make your payment. The robot had to say, okay, the 951 00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:43.420 customer is paid. What does the customer want to order? 952 00:51:43.539 --> 00:51:45.480 The customer put this on the order. Where is that 953 00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:47.059 in the case? I'm going to go to the case. 954 00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:48.920 I'm going to grab the correct bottle and give that 955 00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:51.039 to the customer. And then I have to have a 956 00:51:51.059 --> 00:51:53.300 camera that watches the customer walk away with the product. 957 00:51:55.409 --> 00:51:59.010 Except the camera, that last step, they kind of forgot 958 00:51:59.050 --> 00:52:01.769 that one or it wasn't working quite right. Remember when 959 00:52:01.809 --> 00:52:03.449 the AI at like Whole Foods was a bunch of 960 00:52:03.469 --> 00:52:05.610 guys in India sitting there watching computer feeds and then 961 00:52:05.630 --> 00:52:06.590 checking you out remotely? 962 00:52:07.489 --> 00:52:07.650 Yeah. 963 00:52:08.329 --> 00:52:11.210 It's our new AI innovation. It's just a bunch of 964 00:52:11.230 --> 00:52:14.349 humans in India. Like it's not AI. This is really AI. 965 00:52:14.849 --> 00:52:17.050 And there was a glitch and the camera didn't see 966 00:52:17.090 --> 00:52:18.809 the guy pick up the bottle and walk away. So 967 00:52:18.949 --> 00:52:21.510 it immediately refunded the guy. It just assumed that he 968 00:52:21.570 --> 00:52:24.050 left it behind. The computer wasn't smart enough to wonder 969 00:52:24.090 --> 00:52:27.500 where all the bottles of Perrier went. There are supposedly 970 00:52:27.539 --> 00:52:29.179 still sitting on the counter. It never put it back 971 00:52:29.219 --> 00:52:32.670 in the case. but it gave him a refund. Now 972 00:52:32.710 --> 00:52:36.840 this company is needing to raise $ 10. 5 million of emergency capital. 973 00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:39.880 Now this company, in case you want to invest, this 974 00:52:39.940 --> 00:52:45.760 is the LAX robot store that is run by Venhub. Venhub. 975 00:52:46.099 --> 00:52:48.460 That is the company you want to invest in. Their 976 00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:50.960 stock's pretty cheap right now, I hear. And if they 977 00:52:50.980 --> 00:52:54.260 get this camera thing figured out, maybe robot vending is 978 00:52:54.300 --> 00:52:59.159 the future, but right now they need $ 10. 5 million cold 979 00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:06.659 just to not go Out of business. This is the 980 00:53:06.699 --> 00:53:08.889 robot arm that's going to kill 90% of us within 981 00:53:08.889 --> 00:53:11.690 10 years. Is it putting something in the barrier? I 982 00:53:11.730 --> 00:53:14.309 don't know. If I give you a refund, am I responsible? 983 00:53:14.369 --> 00:53:14.750 I don't know. 984 00:53:15.369 --> 00:53:15.570 All right. 985 00:53:15.789 --> 00:53:18.329 Today's winner, Dave, congratulations.
