Full Transcript for Smarter AI Bots And Safer Windows Updates

not me. 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.160 I am not giving some AI tool my credit card number, and I hear you. 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.079 I was gonna say that was even you a couple months ago. 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.120 That was me. 00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:58.879 That was me, and my mind changed. 00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.360 Wow. 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.120 And I'm gonna tell you why. 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.439 So let's just talk about some of the ones that that are out there right now. 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.279 So, Grok, that's the one right now, is really getting a lot of the buzz. 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:17.439 I mean, if you go download the app, you'll see it's like in the top of downloads right now on Apple and also in the Play Store, as they call it, right? 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.360 And it is such an awesome bot. 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.120 It's the one I use, and we'll get into more detail about that also. 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:32.399 But there's also ChatGPT, they have their their own the long-known name for the the idea of AI. 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.680 ChatGPT, I think, was kind of the first name that actually got out there that everybody knew. 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.240 Which we talked about when AI first came out. 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:40.560 Right. 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.800 A couple years ago, we had a show on that. 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:51.680 And so so I want to be clear though, is it's a distinction between Chat GPT, Grok. 00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:01.360 It's not just the chat GPT, it's not just the Grok that you're used to if you're using that or the Claude that you're using. 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:15.920 This is a chat bot tool that they have come out with that you can use and not really in place of the actual AI tool, but enhances tremendously. 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.399 I was gonna say definitely in partnership with, yeah. 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.879 Yes, definitely in partnership with. 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:45.199 When you start using their new chat bot, like the grok bot, it's called, you're actually consuming the same usage that you are already paying for by using grok if you're paying for that. 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:45.519 Right. 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:57.040 Grok itself, the chat bot, is I what I equate to almost like your text messaging with smart, like one of the smartest people in the world, that you can ask almost any question and it can give you some fairly good information. 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:13.279 Now, as always with AI, you know, you do want to verify the sources, but I will say over the last year, AI has kind of gotten better and better on not hallucinating, you know, certain things or misinterpreting articles, Reddit threads, wherever it is sourcing its information from. 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:24.800 So that is something to always be, you know, to think about the fact that AI it's it's great, it's fast, it gets you information, but always just still double check, make sure information it's giving you is right. 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:34.560 Dave was mentioning grok bot, which is you know more of the desktop version of this AI, so you can actually ask it to do stuff on your desktop. 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.199 So it will, it has its own desktop on your computer. 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.360 Dave, you've been playing around with this a lot, haven't you? 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.439 Well, yeah, let's let's make this this clear. 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:51.680 And that's why I think the grok bot right now is and the reason that's so much in the news is because it's right now by far the best one out there, yeah, in my opinion. 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.120 I I've looked at all of them. 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:58.959 And of course the other the other AI tools are gonna they're gonna catch up because they all catch up to each other, right? 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.720 And but I just want to make this clear distinction. 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:19.360 There's grok, which you use as your AI tool, and then there's grok bot, which is an integrated into grok tool that has its own separate app and its own separate desktop version if you want to use in Windows. 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:32.240 And the big difference is in the grok bot, it'll actually present you with a web page from within the grok bot. 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.639 Okay, so it's not a web page on your computer. 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:39.279 It doesn't use a web page on your computer, it uses a page within the grok bot. 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.200 So you can actually see you can you can click and take over their webpage instead of it taking over yours. 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:46.399 You see the difference here? 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:55.440 Yeah, and and so you take over that and then it'll have a login screen for one of the places that you want might want to log into. 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.159 And you can log in there securely. 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:06.559 If you use a uh password tool like OnePass or your the Google Password Manager, password manager, last pass. 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:18.960 Think of that because it's the same concept when you enter your password in this screen within the grok bot, it's a password management tool that's saved in the grok bot. 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.360 And then it has its additional encryption. 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.600 And it has it, it's all encrypted. 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:36.559 And and as a matter of fact, you you know you you one of the things you got to be careful about, and and I don't think it'll even let you, is to type your password in the conversation with the grok bot. 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.360 It won't it it'll tell you, hey, no, I don't want to hear. 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:40.559 This is not the safe place. 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:50.320 Oh the safe the safe place is let me present you with a login screen and you use it like your password manager and you put your password in there. 00:09:50.639 -->

00:10:00.000 And so I admit, you know, I was the person that was like, no way, I'm not gonna do something like that before this technology came out, right? 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:06.480 So you know, and then I and then I it just dawned on me, well, wait, I use a password manager now, and it's really no different. 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:06.960 Sure. 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.720 It's just another password manager, but it's within the grok bot. 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:16.559 I guess people's concern would be the how much access does the grok bot have now to your password manager? 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.879 What no, no its own password manager for you. 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.399 It has full access to it because it's in there, but it's encrypted. 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:24.879 Right. 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:40.080 And so, you know, so even if anybody was able to somehow break into the grok bot on your on your your grok bot and stuff, you know, that it's not going to work for them because it's your password that's in there, it's encrypted. 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.799 They would have to have your access to to the grok bot. 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.080 Yeah, they could do that. 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:44.480 Right. 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:52.799 But, you know, which is that's the same thing could happen if they had got access to your computer and and and they went to your password manager. 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:53.039 Sure. 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.879 So it's just so it's the same thing. 00:10:55.519 --> 00:11:00.240 It comes down to just having again like a strong password like you would on your password manager, true. 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:10.159 Making sure you have a strong password on your grok bot and our and grok accounts, just so you know, like Dave's saying, this password manager that grok bot uses can't be compromised. 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.720 And it's directly through the grok tool. 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:17.360 So that's why I think it's it's to me it's it's exciting that it's out there. 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:23.919 And and there some of the other ones may have already started catching up, and I and I haven't gotten that yet. 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:32.879 So forgive me if you if you use Chat GPT and they can do the same thing, and and Claude, and I'm pretty sure Claude can't, because I asked Claude actually this morning. 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.519 Hey, can you and it can't. 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.279 And but so the and grok bot, it's G-R-O-K and then B-O-T. 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.879 You again, you can get that app. 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.080 So you this is the true shopping assistant. 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.080 I was gonna say it sounds like it's almost like your secretary for grok. 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:50.720 It is. 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.840 Yeah, it's it's your intermediary to ask these questions. 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:58.399 Hey, this is these are the things I would like to do, and it knows how to develop those into grok for you. 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.519 It does, and and and and it automatically just does it. 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.600 So basically, when you create your first grok bot, this is how it works. 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:13.600 So you download the app, you the first thing it wants you to do is name a bot to give it a name. 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.360 So give it something short. 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:17.679 And you can have more than one bot. 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.600 I think I have 15 right now in just the last week. 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:22.960 I've been playing with this. 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:30.879 So you give it a personal assistant, just name it personal assistant, and for it'll take it from there. 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:36.720 I'm telling you, don't have to give it special instructions, you don't have to, it'll come up and tell you all the things it can do. 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:37.679 Would you want this? 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:38.320 Would you want that? 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.679 Would you want me to send you emails? 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.279 Do you want me to have access to your calendar? 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.879 Do you want me to do all these things? 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.840 It'll know what to ask you based on the name you gave it. 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:55.600 So when you give your bot a name and grok bot, keep in mind that that's what the grok bot tool is going to use to set up that bot. 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.840 So be specific, don't name it like Troy. 00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:58.399 Right. 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.320 Like Troy's Grok bot. 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:00.480 Right. 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.799 And it's just gonna come back and say, okay, Troy, what do you want to do? 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:03.120 You know. 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:03.440 Right. 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.279 So be specific. 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.120 So you can do things like shopping bot. 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.840 Just call it shopping bot. 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:12.320 Yep. 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.639 And it'll come back, it'll know what to do based on how you name the bot. 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:17.519 Personal trainer. 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:18.559 Personal trainer. 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:19.919 All that stuff. 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:27.919 It'll give you all and it'll prompt you, and then it'll it'll keep working with you till it's fine-tuned it right down to exactly the way you want it. 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.679 Pretty cool stuff. 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:30.000 Yeah. 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.320 No, it's it's a it's amazing the leaps that we've made. 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:40.480 I mean, we've been doing the show now for a little while, and since I started with you guys was really when they the big leaps were starting to be made in AI. 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:58.480 And to the point where we're at now, where you can, again, you can develop an entire 15 squad team of bots to be able to

kind of develop out projects and how to manage your day and set up my personal training schedule and tell me what I need to cook for dinner tonight because I'm on this schedule of things. 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:05.360 All these different interactions that we are able to have with it now is it's it's it's really again, I've said it a few times here over the last few weeks. 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:06.399 We're living in the future. 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.639 We are, we are, and and I want to tell you one thing. 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.720 I real quick while we still have time is I have a YouTube bot. 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:19.279 I just said YouTube, refresh YouTube, refresh computers, YouTube refresh YouTube is what I named it. 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:28.159 It went through all the prompts with me, and the video for this show right now gets uploaded into that grok bot and it knows exactly what to do with it. 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:28.639 Yep, yep. 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.080 Captions, it'll insert text here and there for me. 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.840 Click this, it'll it's going to upload it to YouTube for me. 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:36.639 All these things. 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.240 If you're a business, listen up. 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.000 You can do the same kinds of things. 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.600 Our YouTube channel is terrible right now. 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:44.960 It's been out there 18 years. 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.360 Terrible. 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:45.679 Why?

00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:44.240 It is because it is fixing a record number of security flaws. 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.599 And I think it was what, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1800. 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.960 I'd have to check my notes here. 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:49.440 Wow. 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.680 But so many security flaws. 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:52.480 And why? 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:55.359 It's what we have been we talked about before. 00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:04.880 AI is so prevalent now that it can just make all these security issues for things like Windows operating systems that Microsoft needs to take care of. 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.119 And they found some very serious ones, folks. 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.079 And so check. 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.480 If you don't know how to check, we're going to tell you how to check. 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:11.680 It just takes two minutes. 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.200 And if that's still not comfortable for you, give us a call. 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.759 Free tech support hotline 407-478-8200. 00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:21.920 We can run over it with you on the phone real quick. 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:27.920 And if that's too too complicated, bring your computer or laptop over to the store and we'll help you get it updated there. 00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:32.559 So the address is 820 East State Road 434 in Longwood. 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:38.480 It used to be a very normal thing for a lot of us in older Windows versions to just defer updates. 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:39.920 You know, they were they were just annoying. 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:41.359 We just want to pull your hair out. 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:50.000 I want to just stop you there because I years ago we would always advise people don't be the guinea pig and don't be the first to update. 00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:50.319 Yep. 00:23:50.480 --> 00:24:02.000 Because if you can remember

years ago that updates oftentimes cause other issues with your computer, and you'd have to revert back, you'd have to figure out what went wrong. 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.640 And and so, but that's not the case today. 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:05.039 Right. 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:05.519 Right. 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:15.119 So today, if there is a Windows update, if there is an iOS update, an iPhone update, or a Google update, or any Chrome update, do it. 00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:23.119 Do it right away as soon as possible, because in almost every case, it's because of a security flaw that they've uncovered. 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:23.599 Right. 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:38.240 And that's that's the important thing is you know, these security flaws, it it can be compromising to anything you have on your computer, any personal information, you know, banking information, anything like that that's vital and could be pretty bad if somebody got a hold of that information. 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.799 You know, that's what these kinds of holes are plugging, you know, these security problems. 00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:50.000 And with AI now, there's again more and more that are going to be coming out, and and Windows will have to be pushing more updates. 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:56.960 So I suggest honestly, in the in the settings area of Windows and the updates area, make sure automatic updates is just enabled. 00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.279 So how do you how do people get to that, Adam? 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:10.000 So in Windows, all you have to do, what I like to guide is in the bottom where that search box is, just type settings right there, and it's the first result that'll come up with a little gear icon. 00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:14.000 Open that, and there's an option for Windows updates in the top right corner. 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.079 Clicking that opens up the updates area. 00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:18.240 There's a nice blue check for updates button. 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.680 So if you can check real quick, it'll tell you the last time it checks it as well. 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:27.920 And you can also automatically set it up for automatic updates just down in the middle of that page. 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:28.480 Okay. 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.799 But by default now, Windows comes with automatic updates turned on. 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:33.599 Right. 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:36.160 So, but you might want to make sure that it is turned on. 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:50.720 It's always worth double checking because some systems that I've seen businesses send out to their employees or some just pre-configured systems that come from like the big box stores, so straight out of the manufacturer factory, have this sort of setting disabled. 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:59.839 And I've had computers come in that are running the first version of Windows 11 that was released, you know, years ago that you can't even update anymore. 00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:01.759 Right now

it has to be reinstalled. 00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.079 Yeah. 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:05.519 So there are there are possibilities it may be disabled. 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:09.680 Give yourself the the two-minute check, check the updates, check if that's enabled. 00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:11.279 It's gonna save yourself a headache down the road. 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:16.400 I will say if that is an assigned computer from your IT department, double check with them before you do that, too. 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:17.920 That's always a good idea. 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.240 Yes. 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:18.960 I will say that. 00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.440 Just to be sure, because there are some things that maybe don't play too well once you do that update. 00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:23.920 Right. 00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:25.519 And that's that's also a good point, too. 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:32.640 If you have a large business that manages your system and you see it is disabled, there has to be something on their IT side. 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.880 They are the best to confer with at that point in time. 00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.440 That's true. 00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:36.079 That's true. 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.880 Yeah, just yeah, don't just nilly-willy go into your computer like to your point, Greg, and you're right. 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.839 I'm glad you brought that up. 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:42.240 Yes. 00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:46.240 And change turn that automatic updates on if you're part of an organization. 00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:48.319 Your home computer, you're probably fine. 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:49.279 But yeah, yeah. 00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:56.720 Because they may have it turned off for a reason, and then it's probably because they will update everything in mass. 00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:56.960 Right. 00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:01.759 They want to and they want to know when it's updated in case something goes on. 00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:06.000 Or there could be something that they use, some piece of hardware sometimes in some cases. 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:10.799 There's some piece of strange or weird hard hardware that's that's attached to the computer. 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:11.839 Welcome to radio. 00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:13.519 Yeah, thank you. 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.519 That when you do the update for some reason it might not just not work. 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:18.960 Might not work anymore. 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.759 So that that's a that's a possibility. 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:26.799 So if you're a business user, yes, yeah, maybe not turn on that automatic update. 00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:40.079 And I know sometimes even businesses with IT setups where they don't want updates being ran, they can make changes that could remove the option to enable it, or it's may say this is uh maintained by your organization. 00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:45.680 So there it'll it'll actually tell you as well if it's being controlled by your organization. 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.119 But again, like Greg said, if this is something your personal your is your personal computer at home, turn it on. 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:51.759 Turn it on. 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.400 It it's gonna save you a headache, I promise. 00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:56.319 It's it's better than the alternative. 00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:56.880 Yes. 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:03.680 So and then again, just check today, check now, and if you don't know how, you should have the information. 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:10.799 If you're just now tuning in, you need to update your Windows computer now if you haven't done so already. 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:17.599 And if you have any issues with that, you can give us a call at 407-478-8200, and we can guide you over the phone. 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:24.319 Yeah, now something that we talked about over the last few episodes is that Windows 10 is the operating system that never dies, right? 00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:30.720 It's uh it was supposed to have its end of life here almost a year ago now, and it's still around because they've extended those updates. 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.640 How does this affect users that might still be on that Windows 10 version? 00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:35.599 Well, that's the thing. 00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:40.079 Windows 10 was a little bit more interesting with your control over updates. 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:44.160 Um, it really gave you the option to disable automatic updates indefinitely. 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:49.440 Uh, Windows 11, it's much more difficult to do that just as a personal user. 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:54.799 So with Windows 10, you know, there are the extended security updates that they're still running right now. 00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:00.960 If you are enrolled in those, your system should already be applying those as they become available. 00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.880 But if you are not enrolled, the updates area will normally tell you. 00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:09.680 It will say just underneath saying this version of Windows has reached end of support. 00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:14.000 There'll be an option underneath about enrolling for extended security updates. 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.799 And I know that that line there is extremely buggy for actually popping up. 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:24.079 So if you don't see it there in the top right corner, it you don't see anything about extended security updates. 00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.759 Give us a call Monday, 407-478-8200. 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:36.799 We can go through with you real quick over the phone, see if we can figure out if you are enrolled in those because just like Windows 11, it is so important to be updating on Windows 10. 00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:39.599 Because like Greg said, this is the operating system that's never died. 00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:43.039 It is still supposed to be gone a long time ago. 00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:43.920 It was. 00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:49.119 And you know, it's it

has its own vulnerabilities separate from Windows 11. 00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.200 So that's something still to look out for. 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:56.319 A vulnerability that got patched in 11 might not have to be done in 10, you know, and vice versa. 00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.279 Well, and you know what? 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:01.200 And something else to watch out for, you know, we had another segment on scams, right? 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:02.880 With all these AI scams. 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:19.200 Another reason it's important to go ahead and turn that automatic updates on on your personal computer or laptop is you avoid the scams that are going on right now for Windows updates, because you might get a pop-up that says time to update your Windows. 00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.440 And it's not actually Windows. 00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.279 And it's and it's not, it's not. 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.799 So these bots are out there, they're doing this to people all over the place. 00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:40.960 And so, and sure enough, if you click on that, you're you're you're given access to your computer now to some bot, and you're gonna be in a hostage situation where you're gonna be calling us, I I can't get my photos, I can't get my files, and and who knows what else it can do. 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:45.359 So that's another reason why it's important to turn those automatic updates on. 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.799 You don't have to worry about the bots scam that's doing that. 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:57.039 And if you happen to get a pop-up, whether you have automatic updates on or not, just make darn sure it's really a Windows. 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.400 And if you're not sure it's coming from Microsoft, then give us a call at that free tech support hotline. 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.960 We have people calling us all the time about this, right, Adam? 00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:05.599 We do, yes. 00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:10.000 And the phone number again, 407-478-8200. 00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:15.839 Uh and here's the thing is updates are actually starting to be used now for remote scams as well. 00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:23.759 So if somebody had access to your system at one point, you know, you may have act you may have called one of those scam numbers, let them on your computer. 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:30.400 If they leave a program that's there, they have the option inside of that program to put up on your screen whatever they want to show you. 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:35.119 Yeah, at least in the back door, it could also be like a Windows update screen. 00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:45.279 So if you are at a Windows update screen, you're not touching it, and you you see your mouse is moving around, or it's it's been sitting there for a while and and just maybe the circle isn't even moving. 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:46.640 There's something weird on it. 00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:48.720 Again, you know, that's something to look out for. 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:49.359 Signs. 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.759 It's signs that that might not be a legitimate update, might be someone on the computer. 00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:59.359 Windows is also starting to change the design of their update window as well. 00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:06.319 Um, I believe it before it was always a black uh blue background, white text on it saying we were working on updates, yada yada yada. 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:07.680 Easily easily cloned. 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:15.359 Easily cloned, and I think they are now swapping to do the more darker background, kind of like they changed the blue screen of death to the black screen of death. 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:18.000 Same kind of concept with your update screen. 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:27.440 So you may at one point using your fully up-to-date Windows 11 computer, and then all of a sudden just uh something pops up that says we're working on updates in a big blue screen. 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:29.119 That's a that's a screaming red flag. 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.519 Yeah. 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:29.759 Yeah. 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:30.799 Oh wow, good point. 00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:31.359 Yeah. 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:39.839 Unfortunately, updates are something that all of us uh have to do now more than ever, and they're still being used as just another scam angle. 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:45.759 That's something that I think we're gonna always see with tech no matter what, is the multiple angles of scams that come up. 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:49.599 Even to the point of legitimate services like Windows notifications. 00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:58.880 You know, you may see pop-ups coming up on the right hand side about Norton McAfee, you know, you need to update your antivirus on this, or you know, this is infected. 00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:03.680 A lot of those come through a legitimate Windows service, but from a website. 00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:04.000 Right. 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:04.880 That's all it is. 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:17.680 And the Windows Security, they are putting in some filters to try and help with those notification scams, but it's it's something that end of the day, you have to keep updated to keep those away. 00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:19.680 So that's something something to think about. 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.440 I keep personal updates on all the time for all of my systems, no matter what. 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:24.480 Yeah, I do now too. 00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:25.359 I didn't used to. 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:26.319 I used to have them all off. 00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:28.559 I used to just don't know, I'm gonna control that. 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:29.039 Right. 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.200 But I just let everything update itself now. 00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:33.440 But it's just you have to, you almost have to. 00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:38.319 And I mean, so many of them now even require certain restarts and things like that for computers. 00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:40.000 I've got a

personal question for you guys. 00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:44.480 Do you guys immediately restart the computer or do you hit the snooze to wait for the update to come in? 00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:48.559 Oh, well, you should immediately restart, I should say. 00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:52.720 And I'll admit that not always, because hey, I'm in the middle of something sometimes. 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.920 So I'll put it off. 00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:55.680 Dave has 150 tabs open. 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.559 Yeah, and so I'll put it off. 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.519 But but that's a great point, Greg, because what? 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:04.720 You have to restart your computer for the updates to take place. 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:19.440 So if you put it off, you may you may have thought you updated your computer because you downloaded the updates and it and it is a it applied them, but the the application of those updates don't have become effective until you reboot. 00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:21.840 Yeah, I reboot immediately when it comes up. 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:26.000 If I'm in the middle of playing a game and I see it pop up, I save and I just hit reboot. 00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:27.760 If it has to close out my game, I don't care. 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:28.639 That's the best policy. 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:29.920 I just immediately do it. 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:31.599 Get it out of the way. 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:39.440 And honestly, I tell myself this, just being a tech person, if I'm gonna do this update and it's gonna cause me a problem, I just want to deal with it now. 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:39.840 Yeah. 00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:41.599 And I want to see it now. 00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.760 I don't want to see it tomorrow morning when I wake up and my screen is blue screened. 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:48.800 You know, when I really need it, just let me take care of it now. 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:50.639 And that's that's why I always do it. 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:59.920 Yeah, and and the and the only issue with doing it right away that that I can recall having is sometimes the updates are a major Windows update. 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.400 It's right. 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:06.719 It's it's more it's almost every update has security fixes, but sometimes it's a major, major update to the whole operating system. 00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:07.039 Right. 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:11.280 And it comes back and wants you to re- you know, start over setting up your Windows. 00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:13.440 Five times it happens. 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.119 It bait and switches you into thinking it's done, and then it restarts one more time. 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:22.079 You gotta tell it again, no, I don't want Bing to be my default browser, you know, that kind of thing. 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:22.559 Exactly. 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.360 Well, what about you? 00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:23.840 Let us know. 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.000 Use that open mic feature inside the

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:23.760 Why are we still moving our clocks back and forth? 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:27.679 I think I I think I know exactly why, Dave, to bother you. 00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:29.360 I think that's why we do it. 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:31.039 Just to bother Dave. 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:32.960 I I think you know what? 00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:42.320 I I mean, shoot me if I'm wrong, but I think that the vast majority of people just want this to stop because there's really no good reason for it anymore. 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:44.239 Back and forth, back and forth. 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.880 And and so why do we keep doing this? 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:52.320 And I think, yeah, most of us would happily want it to stop. 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.039 And could it be that half the country wants it to have daylight savings time? 00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:01.199 The other half doesn't want daylight savings, it wants the it wants it the other way. 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:04.320 I I don't think so because this is up to Congress to do. 00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:09.920 You know, we we have unfortunately very little say in this other than complaining to our our congressperson. 00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:10.400 Yes. 00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.599 I mean, you know, so Congress has to do this and only they can change it. 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:18.639 And it's stuck right now in Congress again. 00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:24.320 So, you know, just this past July, the House of Representatives actually passed it. 00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:26.480 They passed the Sunshine Protective Act. 00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:29.199 That's fitting for the state of Florida, you know. 00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:36.559 Being the Sunshine State, we have the Sunshine Protection Act, but I don't want the sun rising at 5 30 in the morning. 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:39.199 You know, I don't Yeah, it's gonna be a little rough there. 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:41.199 I don't care. 00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:41.760 You know what?

00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:56.000 Nothing. 00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:56.400 Yep. 00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:58.000 What does the Senate ever do? 00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:01.599 Well, I love it. 00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:02.719 I don't know. 00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:06.800 But you know, so it's just sat there with no vote. 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:13.840 And because it has got no vote, well, it can't become law, can't become something that the president can sign and say, okay, let's do it. 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:17.440 You know, the president himself has come out in support of the Sunshine Act. 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:19.360 In the past, he hasn't been a proponent of it. 00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:22.079 He's actually kind of been against it, but recently he's kind of changed his tune. 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:23.360 He's kind of changed it. 00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:26.719 And I think he has his preference, but I think he said he would sign it either way. 00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:27.119 Yeah. 00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:28.320 Just to have a consistency. 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:28.480 Yeah. 00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:31.840 Whichever way you know that they can decide on doing that. 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:33.039 We're human beings. 00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:36.000 We have a rhythm, you know, we have a sleeping rhythm. 00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:38.079 And, you know, I I know it splits. 00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:42.559 Some people like being up all night, some people like being up during the day. 00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:48.159 But this forwards and backs shifting of an hour, at least for me personally, messes me up so much. 00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:54.719 Now, you know, the arguments are that there's uh certain daylight hours that they prefer for skit for kids in school and things like that. 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:59.760 They don't want them waking up too early or too late with the with the level that the sun is at, things like that. 00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:06.960 And also, I mean, there are some of the northern states, it would really change the kind of like the daylight hours of their cry meatier. 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:11.679 Crime a tear. 00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.280 Bring out the violins. 00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:17.840 I mean pick one. 00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:19.519 Just make the decision. 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:21.599 Pick one and just get it done. 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:26.079 We're lucky to have the tech we do that automatically adjusts our clocks. 00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:26.960 Not all of them. 00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:28.079 Not all of them, but most of the city. 00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:29.519 I still gotta change my microwave. 00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:31.039 Or you can just camera. 00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:34.480 You can just go on that time and just leave it until the next time, and it'll be fine. 00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:38.000 We see Dave rolling up to the store an hour late. 00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.719 We know he did not set his microwave to the right time. 00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:44.880 You know, I gotta have to check this, but what other country in the world even changes clocks anymore?
