Schrock Innovations presents the Midwest's number one independent computer repair
2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.359
company with service centers in Lincoln, Omaha, Papillion, Des Moines,
3
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:10.939
and across the country.
4
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:11.939
Via the Schrock desk.
5
00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:18.989
This is Compute This. Hello, folks, and welcome into Compute This.
6
00:00:19.109 --> 00:00:21.429
My name's Thor Schrock. I'm the owner of the Schrock
7
00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:25.210
Innovations Computer Company, where we fix them, we build them,
8
00:00:25.829 --> 00:00:27.929
we smack them around when they're not doing what they're
9
00:00:27.949 --> 00:00:30.829
supposed to be doing, and we gently persuade them to
10
00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:33.490
do things they are supposed to do. That's what we
11
00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:35.509
do at Schrock Innovations. We're here to make your technology
12
00:00:35.549 --> 00:00:38.380
work for you. We do it for consumers. We're one
13
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.119
of the few places left that still do that for consumers.
14
00:00:41.890 --> 00:00:44.200
We do it for businesses with our Schrock Business Division.
15
00:00:44.539 --> 00:00:47.060
I've been doing it for years for businesses, but just
16
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:51.380
some crazy, crazy stuff happening at Schrock right now. And
17
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:54.549
so I'm thankful that you're here with me to talk
18
00:00:54.590 --> 00:00:57.189
on the program today. In fact, we are live and local,
19
00:00:57.289 --> 00:01:01.250

there. iHeart, YouTube, the whole bit.
35
00:01:58.409 --> 00:02:02.000
But last week we told you about a nasty browser flaw. Um,
36
00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:04.560
it's not just in Google Chrome. It was also in brave,
37
00:02:04.579 --> 00:02:08.319
you know, edge, any browser that, that runs on chromium, uh,
38
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.520
had a bug that would allow you to have your
39
00:02:10.539 --> 00:02:13.360
browser completely taken over. Um, so that was a really
40
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:20.090
big reason to have secure updater, uh, running on your computer. Uh, also, um, yeah,
41
00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:21.449
all you had to do was restart your computer to
42
00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:23.550
fix that. If you had secure updater, by the way, um,
43
00:02:24.189 --> 00:02:26.370
we walked you through Apple's new foldable phone. We talked
44
00:02:26.389 --> 00:02:28.330
about this one. We have a shocking followup story on
45
00:02:28.370 --> 00:02:30.689
that for you today, coming up on the program. The
46
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:33.740
the new Fold Ultra, a twenty five hundred dollar iPhone.
47
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.860
And I wasn't sure how many I'm not. I didn't
48
00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:40.860
get a like like a BOGO deal on the the
49
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.400
the Note 8. I have a note or not a note,
50
00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:46.530
a fold, a Z Fold. I've got the Z Fold 7.
51
00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:47.849
They came up with the Z Fold 8. We're going
52
00:02:47.870 --> 00:02:49.810
to hear about that later in the program today. And
53
00:02:49.909 --> 00:02:52.250
usually they say, like, trade in your your your current
54
00:02:52.289 --> 00:02:53.750
phone and we'll give you the new phone for like
55
00:02:53.789 --> 00:02:57.729
five hundred bucks. And it's a $ 2, 000 phone. So for $ 500,
56
00:02:57.669 --> 00:03:00.430
it's a pretty sweet deal. So I'll take the new tech.
57
00:03:01.169 --> 00:03:04.710
There wasn't a coupon like that this year. And that's
58
00:03:04.729 --> 00:03:07.469
what we're telling you guys. The price increases on memory
59
00:03:07.550 --> 00:03:11.430
and storage have been so extreme that even if they
60
00:03:11.469 --> 00:03:15.229
don't raise the prices, they're going to reduce the discounts.
61
00:03:16.009 --> 00:03:17.530
And so when you see this, you're going to see
62
00:03:17.569 --> 00:03:20.530
fewer coupons for electronics, fewer discounts on Black Friday for
63
00:03:20.569 --> 00:03:23.800
electronics and things like that. Because especially electronics that have
64
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.599
memory and storage, because you just can't right now. The
65
00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:32.400
rent is just too darn high on those components right now.
66
00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:37.050
We also told you about Windows 11 Goth Mode. Bet
67
00:03:37.069 --> 00:03:39.610
you didn't know about that. Windows 11 Goth Mode was
68
00:03:39.669 --> 00:03:42.590
a Windows update glitch that made your wallpaper
go away,
69
00:03:42.729 --> 00:03:46.669
and no matter what, it can't be fixed. If you
70
00:03:46.689 --> 00:03:49.490
try to change the settings, the settings are gone. They're
71
00:03:49.530 --> 00:03:52.500
just gone from Windows. And so you have to wait
72
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.659
for another update to fix that if you happen to
73
00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:57.120
get caught with goth mode. They don't know why some
74
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.180
computers go to goth mode and some don't. Just the
75
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.150
same way we don't know why some kids go goth
76
00:04:01.219 --> 00:04:04.610
and some don't. We just don't know why it happens.
77
00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:06.770
We don't know if it's like a social thing. We
78
00:04:06.810 --> 00:04:08.789
don't know if it's like an attention thing. But if
79
00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:11.750
you weren't giving your computer an appropriate level of attention
80
00:04:11.930 --> 00:04:15.389
as a computer-owning parent, your computer may have gone goth.
81
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.990
So yeah, Microsoft's working on a fix for that. You
82
00:04:19.009 --> 00:04:20.490
can catch up on the full replay of the show
83
00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:24.790
at schrockinnovations.com. This week in the Omaha Service Center, we
84
00:04:24.829 --> 00:04:27.829
have managed to onboard not one, but two brand new
85
00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:30.860
junior technicians in the Omaha Service Center. So we're going
86
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.000
to mint those guys and get them up to speed
87
00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:36.740
real quick before the fall here and get them serving
88
00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:38.600
you in the Omaha Service Center there. We do still
89
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.740
have an open position for a senior technician in the
90
00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:43.430
Omaha Service Center, so We're almost back to a full
91
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.589
crew there again. So if you are interested in that position,
92
00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:49.129
time is running out. You should probably apply for that
93
00:04:49.209 --> 00:04:54.329
before that one gets filled up as well. Windows 11, 2.5 H2.
94
00:04:54.470 --> 00:04:57.560
We talked about this. Or excuse me, 2.6 H2. 2.5
95
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.519
H2 is the one that's out now. The 2.5 is
96
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.860
the year it was released. And H2 is the half
97
00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:05.660
of the year that it was released. Microsoft used to
98
00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:11.389
do two of these updates every year. They were so incredible.
99
00:05:12.610 --> 00:05:17.329
popular sarcasm that Microsoft decided to maybe back off to
100
00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:20.810
only one major feature upgrade per year. What ended up
101
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:22.970
happening before is the first feature upgrade was the one
102
00:05:23.009 --> 00:05:25.180
that kind of laid all the train tracks and the
103
00:05:25.209 --> 00:05:27.439
groundwork for the second one that delivered all the goods.
104
00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:31.720
Now they've just gone straight to the goods. And these
105
00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:33.939
updates have been used to deliver all kinds of features
106
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.420
that you've never asked for. AI slop to your heart's content.
107
00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:41.029
Copilot was brought to you via a feature upgrade. Just,
108
00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:45.459
you know, Microsoft Paint and the new remove the background
109
00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:50.819
from paint? Like, really? AI functions, right? So all this
110
00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:53.160
stuff that you never asked for came in a feature upgrade.
111
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.379
Some of it broke. Some of it doesn't work right.
112
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.790
I saw like a cartoon online, and it was Windows
113
00:05:59.790 --> 00:06:01.829
11 was at the top of the pile of books.
114
00:06:02.329 --> 00:06:04.810
And do you know if like you sloppily stack a
115
00:06:04.910 --> 00:06:06.850
number of books on top of each other and you
116
00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:09.730
start off with like the paperback novels? and you end
117
00:06:09.769 --> 00:06:12.230
with the dictionary and the thesaurus on the top of
118
00:06:12.269 --> 00:06:15.490
the pile, the pile becomes a little unstable. And that's
119
00:06:15.529 --> 00:06:17.970
how they were describing the Windows code base. It was
120
00:06:18.029 --> 00:06:22.370
built for Windows NT back in the day, Windows for
121
00:06:22.430 --> 00:06:26.470
work groups. Windows 3.1 is what the code base still
122
00:06:26.670 --> 00:06:29.850
is for Windows. But they've stacked so much stuff on
123
00:06:29.910 --> 00:06:32.029
top of it now that when something breaks, no one
124
00:06:32.050 --> 00:06:34.089
really knows why. When it goes goth mode, nobody knows
125
00:06:34.170 --> 00:06:38.170
why it's happening because the code is so... incredibly intricate
126
00:06:38.389 --> 00:06:42.730
and interwoven. And changing one thing here changes 14 completely
127
00:06:42.810 --> 00:06:44.810
unrelated things over there, and you don't know why. And
128
00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:48.290
then you fix those 14 things, and now that has
129
00:06:48.470 --> 00:06:51.300
spawned 28 new problems, and you fix those 28, and
130
00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:54.959
now you have 56 new problems. That's what Microsoft's coders
131
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.939
are dealing with. So they're working frenetically at simplifying right now,
132
00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:03.500
taking out the AI slop, taking out the features you
133
00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:05.970
don't want, and bringing the code base back to a
134
00:07:06.110 --> 00:07:10.029
stable place. And that's where Microsoft's focus has been, and
135
00:07:10.050 --> 00:07:11.569
that's one of the things they're going to be delivering
136
00:07:11.589 --> 00:07:16.120
with 2.6.h2. So assuming that that update does work, unlike
137
00:07:16.160 -->
00:07:19.399
the goth mode update, assuming that that update does work
138
00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:22.939
and everything, you should get a more stable experience out
139
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.730
of your Windows 11 computer after the update. The challenge
140
00:07:26.750 --> 00:07:28.829
that we have with feature upgrades, and if you've been
141
00:07:28.910 --> 00:07:30.370
in Windows for a while, you've had a few of
142
00:07:30.389 --> 00:07:34.000
these now, Your computer is supposed to automatically download and
143
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.639
install these updates just like any other update. Now at
144
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.269
first Microsoft tells you there's a feature update available. Do
145
00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:44.110
you want it? So Microsoft will come out and say
146
00:07:44.449 --> 00:07:46.649
we are not going to force this onto your computer.
147
00:07:47.629 --> 00:07:52.079
The key word that's missing from that conversation is the
148
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:56.339
word yet. We are not going to force this on
149
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:01.389
your computer yet. Eventually we will totally force this down
150
00:08:01.430 --> 00:08:03.930
your throat and you will have no choice. You'll reboot
151
00:08:03.949 --> 00:08:07.050
your computer one day and you'll have it. Or you
152
00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:09.389
won't reboot your computer and we're going to reboot your
153
00:08:09.410 --> 00:08:11.250
computer for you, wipe out all your work, and then
154
00:08:11.269 --> 00:08:13.920
you'll have it. So you're going to get it eventually
155
00:08:14.060 --> 00:08:16.399
one way or the other. The challenge that we come
156
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.920
up against at Schrock and the thing that was frustrating
157
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.759
for us as a service company is when Microsoft pushes
158
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:27.290
these updates, sometimes things go sideways. Now, Goth mode, it's
159
00:08:27.329 --> 00:08:30.009
a funny, jokey thing, right? Okay, so your wallpaper disappears
160
00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:32.320
for a couple weeks. It's not the end of the world.
161
00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:33.919
It's annoying, but it's not the end of the world.
162
00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:36.080
You can still use your computer. You're not going to
163
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.019
go spend $ 150 at Schrock to have us try to
164
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.519
fix your wallpaper, right? Especially if it's going to come
165
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.279
back in a couple weeks. You're just not going to
166
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.639
do that. But if your computer doesn't boot after the update,
167
00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:49.299
or worse yet, it reboots and all of your stuff
168
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.659
is gone, not just the wallpaper, but all your files
169
00:08:51.700 --> 00:08:57.129
and your pictures and everything else is gone, or You
170
00:08:57.169 --> 00:08:59.370
try to install it and the install fails and then
171
00:08:59.409 --> 00:09:02.009
it does a rollback and then it reboots. And then
172
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.220
the next night it tries to install again and it fails.
173
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.120
So then it has to do a rollback and then
174
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.580
it reboots. And it's just thrashing that super expensive solid
175
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.799
state drive you have in there now. All kinds of
176
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.629
unnecessary read rights happening to that drive on a large
177
00:09:15.669 --> 00:09:19.009
scale every single day when it fails. It's going to
178
00:09:19.029 --> 00:09:21.889
destroy your hard drive. It's going to damage your physical hardware.
179
00:09:23.929 --> 00:09:26.970
Those things all happen to real people every single time
180
00:09:27.009 --> 00:09:30.879
these updates happen. 80-20 chance is what we've seen in
181
00:09:30.909 --> 00:09:32.940
the service center. And those are nice round numbers. We
182
00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:37.399
don't have an actual statistic where we've measured how many
183
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.059
people and short customers have successfully updated versus how many
184
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:44.879
have had a problem. Short customers have about an 80%
185
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:49.820
success rate with their hardware installing these Microsoft updates. 20%
186
00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:53.549
of the customers have a problem. Sometimes that problem is minor.
187
00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:55.860
Like it just failed the first time and we have
188
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.309
to try a second time. And sometimes the problem is
189
00:09:58.350 --> 00:10:00.669
more severe. Like I've lost all my stuff. Please, please
190
00:10:00.730 --> 00:10:03.409
help me. And those customers end up coming into the
191
00:10:03.450 --> 00:10:05.750
service center and spending one to two hours of labor.
192
00:10:06.029 --> 00:10:09.899
So 150 to $ 300 to have us go in, fix
193
00:10:09.940 --> 00:10:12.659
the problems, get the update installed and get them back
194
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.559
to a stable place again. And of course, you know,
195
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.820
when you get hit with an unexpected $ 300 computer repair bill,
196
00:10:19.509 --> 00:10:22.490
I'm sure you're happy about that. I would be happy
197
00:10:22.509 --> 00:10:25.129
about it. I got hit with an unexpected $ 5, 000 air
198
00:10:25.429 --> 00:10:27.669
conditioner repair bill in the Des Moines Service Center this week.
199
00:10:28.710 --> 00:10:32.970
I was thrilled. I thought to myself, I'm just thankful
200
00:10:33.210 --> 00:10:35.409
that we were able to replace the heat exchanger and
201
00:10:35.450 --> 00:10:38.110
we didn't have to put a $ 13, 000 unit on the roof.
202
00:10:39.269 --> 00:10:45.450
When that's the silver lining, it's bad, right? So people
203
00:10:45.570 --> 00:10:47.350
feel that way when they have to spend money on
204
00:10:47.370 --> 00:10:50.879
their
computer that for an update they didn't want, that
205
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.870
gave them a bunch of features they didn't ask for,
206
00:10:53.870 --> 00:10:56.289
the features that don't even work. Hello, have you tried
207
00:10:56.330 --> 00:11:02.809
to use Copilot? We have businesses, I'm talking Fortune 5000
208
00:11:02.809 --> 00:11:08.600
businesses that we work with that are actively implementing Copilot
209
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.500
integration into their workflow for AI. And they're asking us
210
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.059
to help.
211
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.029
Yeah.
212
00:11:23.409 --> 00:11:23.789
Don't.
213
00:11:24.210 --> 00:11:26.169
That's the best help I could give you. Just don't.
214
00:11:27.250 --> 00:11:29.230
Don't do that with Copilot. You do the AI. The
215
00:11:29.289 --> 00:11:34.279
AI could dramatically increase your productivity. Do not use Copilot
216
00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:36.840
to do it. Thank you. When I go to the
217
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.919
Microsoft website and I'm trying to set up my new
218
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.899
email account, that I've set up with Microsoft 365, and
219
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.019
I have to migrate all my email from my old
220
00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:46.519
mailbox to my new one. In my head, I know
221
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.879
the process to do this, but Microsoft has made a
222
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:53.179
convenient tool to do it for me. So, like any technician,
223
00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:55.720
if there's a proper tool for the job, I want
224
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.480
to use the proper tool for the job. The problem is,
225
00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:02.639
I can't find the flipping tool anywhere. Microsoft's maze of
226
00:12:02.700 --> 00:12:06.700
support tools is so... I couldn't find it, right? It
227
00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:09.779
was like playing a Return to Castle Wolfenstein and I'm
228
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.100
looking for the dog. You know, I'm like, where's the dog?
229
00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:12.980
I keep opening doors.
230
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:13.659
There's no dog.
231
00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:14.879
If you've ever played that game, you know what I'm
232
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.600
talking about. So you find the dog. You don't like
233
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.289
finding the dog. But, you know, I'm looking everywhere for
234
00:12:21.309 --> 00:12:24.659
this tool and I can't find it. So Copilot pops up.
235
00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:27.830
I can help you. And I thought, all right, you know,
236
00:12:27.850 --> 00:12:30.629
I use a lot of AI stuff. Let's give Copilot
237
00:12:30.669 --> 00:12:35.509
another try. Copilot, where is your IMAP migration tool? on
238
00:12:35.529 --> 00:12:39.710
the Microsoft website, the online tool. Yes, the one that
239
00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:44.509
I'm searching for right now. It thought about it for
240
00:12:44.549 --> 00:12:47.759
five minutes and it came back and it said, well,
241
00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:53.360
the agent hasn't responded. The agent may not respond. But
242
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:58.919
if the agent does respond, it'll appear here. What kind
243
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.950
of failure is that? Like, the agent didn't respond. I
244
00:13:02.990 --> 00:13:06.250
understand that. The agent might respond or might not respond.
245
00:13:06.289 --> 00:13:07.690
Why don't you wait around for the rest of your
246
00:13:07.730 --> 00:13:12.580
life and find out? The agent never responded. Newsflash. I
247
00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:14.529
sent it a second time. It timed out a second time.
248
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.059
Microsoft can't even get their own AI tools to find
249
00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:21.320
their own tool or their own AI stuff to find
250
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.159
their own tools on their own website. How on earth
251
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.200
is it going to help me with my computer? So
252
00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:31.879
there's not a lot of confidence when these updates are
253
00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:35.340
pushed out by Microsoft. People just... They genuinely feel like
254
00:13:35.419 --> 00:13:39.360
Microsoft is not listening, that Microsoft is pushing things on
255
00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:42.259
them that they don't want. And Microsoft could be right.
256
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:43.820
They could be like, this is the nicest thing since
257
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.490
sliced bread. And eventually everyone's going to be using it
258
00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:49.610
and you will eventually be thankful that you have this.
259
00:13:49.970 --> 00:13:53.269
And they might be right, maybe. But it's that same
260
00:13:53.350 --> 00:13:55.629
kind of eventually thankful that when you were a little
261
00:13:55.669 --> 00:13:57.450
kid and you wanted to buy some baseball cards and
262
00:13:57.470 --> 00:14:00.320
your dad said, if you save that money instead, someday
263
00:14:00.340 --> 00:14:06.000
you'll be grateful. Where are your baseball cards now? Don't
264
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.519
you wish you had to save that money? Dad was right.
265
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.620
But man, it did not feel good at the time.
266
00:14:14.470 --> 00:14:17.190
So that's why we created Safe Upgrade. Safe Upgrade is
267
00:14:17.250 --> 00:14:19.350
a product that we sell at Schrock. It is a
268
00:14:19.389 --> 00:14:22.710
piece of software that you run at home to install
269
00:14:22.750 --> 00:14:25.149
the update the same way that we do it on
270
00:14:25.169 --> 00:14:27.649
the bench. So there's two different, and this was great
271
00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:30.899
for Nevaeh, our new Omaha front desk employee to learn.
272
00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:33.120
She's like, so what you're telling me, there's a piece
273
00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:36.250
of software called Safe Upgrade. And there's also a bench
274
00:14:36.309 --> 00:14:38.230
service that customers can come in and buy that is
275
00:14:38.269 -->
00:14:42.330
safe upgrade. One of them is $ 65, the software, and
276
00:14:42.370 --> 00:14:46.120
the bench service is $ 95. But they're both called safe upgrade.
277
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.700
I'm like, yeah, of course. Because that's not confusing at all.
278
00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:53.840
So if you come into the service center after 26H2
279
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.470
is out and we notice you're running 25H2, we're going
280
00:14:57.490 --> 00:14:59.750
to tell you you need to get 26H2. We're going
281
00:14:59.769 --> 00:15:03.029
to offer you a safe upgrade installation on the bench
282
00:15:03.149 --> 00:15:07.190
by a technician. That's ninety five dollars. We get it
283
00:15:07.250 --> 00:15:13.100
installed every time and it works every time. When you
284
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.320
do it at home, it only works 80 percent of
285
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.259
the time with Microsoft. So what if we could make
286
00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:20.940
a piece of software that did the exact same thing
287
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.320
that we do on the bench, but did it for
288
00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:27.700
you at home? You're kind of doing it yourself, right?
289
00:15:28.779 --> 00:15:30.440
So we could charge a little less for that. So
290
00:15:30.460 --> 00:15:33.230
that's only sixty five dollars. That's what's for sale right
291
00:15:33.269 --> 00:15:36.409
now at SchrockInnovations.com if you click on Shop and Specials.
292
00:15:36.830 --> 00:15:39.210
You can pick up a copy of Safe Upgrade for
293
00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:44.120
your computer. You can use that Safe Upgrade software to
294
00:15:44.149 --> 00:15:47.440
get this new Windows 2.6 H2 update safely installed on
295
00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:51.679
your computer. And we limit the number of Safe Upgrade
296
00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:54.860
copies that we sell. The limit this year was 600
297
00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:59.820
copies because if something would go terribly sideways, for example–
298
00:16:01.909 --> 00:16:05.350
We don't want to have 1,200, 1,300, 1,500 people calling
299
00:16:05.389 --> 00:16:07.990
us at one time. It's not good service. So 600
300
00:16:07.990 --> 00:16:09.809
is kind of the limit to what we can do
301
00:16:09.850 --> 00:16:12.330
with all of our tools and capabilities at one time.
302
00:16:12.929 --> 00:16:15.080
And that's if we spread it across all the service centers.
303
00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:19.080
We have 514 left in stock, which, you know, not
304
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.720
bad for the first week when this is supposed to
305
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.639
come out in late September or October. So sometimes it's
306
00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:26.860
late October even. So we got some time to go here,
307
00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:32.470
but we're already down to 514. So that's available at schrockinnovations.com.
308
00:16:32.490 --> 00:16:34.110
Click on Shop and Specials and make sure you get
309
00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:38.149
a copy for each computer that you want to safely upgrade.
310
00:16:38.169 --> 00:16:42.389
402-558-1110 is the number to join us on the program. 888-250-2091.
311
00:16:43.789 --> 00:16:47.000
As we do every week, we'll give away a $ 25
312
00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:49.779
Schrock Innovations gift certificate. Coming up on the program, guys,
313
00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:54.759
a whole bunch of new Apple devices were announced. And
314
00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:56.460
the one device that didn't get a lot of love,
315
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.289
it didn't get a lot of attention because the the
316
00:16:58.350 --> 00:17:01.190
fold phone kind of took the, stole the show is
317
00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:05.849
the new Apple watch. This Apple watch could possibly be
318
00:17:05.890 --> 00:17:10.420
the best spy gadget ever introduced. And it's spying for you,
319
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.799
not for Apple. So that's going to be interesting to watch.
320
00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:15.440
We're going to talk about that coming up on the program.
321
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:18.319
You might've heard that lots of people are firing their
322
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.329
employees because they're replacing them with it. These evil companies,
323
00:17:22.670 --> 00:17:26.230
they get the it and they fire their people. Do
324
00:17:26.269 --> 00:17:29.900
you know that getting fired, Because AI took your job
325
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.559
is probably the best career move you can make because
326
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.039
the statistics are now showing that those employees are being
327
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:40.240
rehired at even higher wages once the companies figure out
328
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.849
that the AI can't do what they do. Yeah, it's
329
00:17:43.869 --> 00:17:46.670
kind of like that. So AI is a tool that
330
00:17:46.710 --> 00:17:50.690
makes your existing people more productive. It is not a
331
00:17:50.730 --> 00:17:55.349
replacement for the existing people. There's a difference. You've got
332
00:17:55.390 --> 00:17:57.730
to understand that if you're in business. You must. If
333
00:17:57.769 --> 00:18:00.190
you're trying to automate... Because you want to eliminate your staff?
334
00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:02.960
You have the wrong motivation, my friend. That's never going
335
00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:05.240
to happen. You're never going to be satisfied. Your customers
336
00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:07.339
are going to hate it and you will fail every
337
00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:12.519
flipping time. We kind of do this. We know. We're
338
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.380
doing this right now at Schrock. We know. You've got
339
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:16.819
to keep the people and you've got to keep the
340
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.720
people happy and make their jobs easier. That's what AI
341
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:21.960
is supposed to do. And then we're going to wrap up.
342
00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:23.440
This is a stunner.
343
00:18:23.640 -->
00:18:25.259
I mean, lots of Apple stuff in the show today.
344
00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:29.259
Tim Cook released a statement. Tim Cook, as you know,
345
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.390
is the former CEO now for Apple.
346
00:18:34.730 --> 00:18:35.549
He would be the former.
347
00:18:35.569 --> 00:18:40.150
Yeah, former CEO of Apple. Obviously, he's very involved. He
348
00:18:40.170 --> 00:18:42.190
was around when Steve Jobs was around. It's Tim Cook.
349
00:18:44.339 --> 00:18:48.140
Very even keel, very, very calm. So when Tim Cook
350
00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:53.339
comes out and says, I bought the Galaxy Z Fold
351
00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:56.480
8 and it's the best phone I've ever used on
352
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:01.509
the eve of Apple releasing their foldable phone. What's going
353
00:19:01.569 --> 00:19:02.890
on there? We're going to bring you we're going to
354
00:19:02.910 --> 00:19:03.829
try it. We're going to see if we can dig
355
00:19:03.869 --> 00:19:07.730
up the audio of Tim Cook's actual statement, because you're
356
00:19:07.750 --> 00:19:09.089
not going to believe it if you don't hear it yourself.
357
00:19:09.230 --> 00:19:10.509
So we got a lot to cover. So we're going
358
00:19:10.529 --> 00:19:12.750
to take a quick break. But more of the program
359
00:19:12.789 --> 00:19:14.630
coming up next on Compute This.
360
00:19:16.029 --> 00:19:18.769
You would probably rather drink the water at Camp Lejeune
361
00:19:19.069 --> 00:19:21.470
than get another call about the desperate need to renew
362
00:19:21.490 --> 00:19:25.390
your car's expiring warranty. Who actually responds to those calls?
363
00:19:25.970 --> 00:19:28.369
Everyone wants to play the warranty game where you pay
364
00:19:28.430 --> 00:19:31.009
money now just in case you need service later that
365
00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:33.009
everyone hopes you won't need or use.
366
00:19:33.470 --> 00:19:34.450
It's such a waste.
367
00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:39.079
It's no different with computers. Major manufacturers' warranties have more
368
00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:43.569
subscript crosses than a Sunday morning church service. Batteries are exempt,
369
00:19:43.869 --> 00:19:47.190
hard drives must be completely dead, and forget about anything
370
00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:49.369
that they can remotely claim as physical damage.
371
00:19:40.089 --> 00:19:40.730
We'll be right back.
372
00:19:56.430 --> 00:20:00.160
We offer a no-risk, money-back guarantee. If you need the warranty,
373
00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:02.480
you will be thrilled to have it. If you don't
374
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.500
use it, we refund your money automatically every time. That's right.
375
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:09.099
We are so confident in the quality of our products
376
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:13.230
that our extended warranties are refundable. Many Schrock customers use
377
00:20:13.269 --> 00:20:16.609
their refunds to purchase another warranty or pocket the savings
378
00:20:16.690 --> 00:20:18.849
and move on. We all know you'll need it to
379
00:20:18.910 --> 00:20:23.619
cover that expiring car warranty anyway. Schrock's refundable extended warranties.
380
00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:27.160
Just another way the Schrock Innovations Computer Company makes your
381
00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:28.369
computer work for you.
382
00:20:29.250 --> 00:20:32.609
DriveAdvisor is a free program from Schrock Innovations that monitors
383
00:20:32.630 --> 00:20:35.130
your hard drive's health and tells you if it's going bad.
384
00:20:35.450 --> 00:20:38.140
Download it for free at DriveAdvisor.com.
385
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:42.400
Computer problems usually don't just suddenly happen. Most failures usually
386
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.140
start out as small issues with few or no symptoms.
387
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.569
Over time, they grow into error messages, blue screens, and
388
00:20:48.670 --> 00:20:52.309
other problems that can be costly to fix. Schrock Innovations'
389
00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:56.849
biannual preventative maintenance checkup catches those small problems now before
390
00:20:56.890 --> 00:21:00.710
they can metastasize and become tomorrow's costly repairs. During the
391
00:21:00.750 --> 00:21:04.410
maintenance checkup, our experienced technicians perform up to eight hours
392
00:21:04.470 --> 00:21:08.890
of tests, checks, automated repairs. and optimizations that keep your
393
00:21:08.910 --> 00:21:13.150
computer at peak efficiency while identifying potential issues while you
394
00:21:13.190 --> 00:21:15.779
still have options about how to handle them. When your
395
00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:18.599
computer gets its first checkup, it can see up to
396
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.059
a 25% performance improvement and leaves our service center cleaned,
397
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.849
sanitized and running better than the day you bought it.
398
00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:28.759
Just about every complex device requires maintenance. Your computer is
399
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:33.039
no different. especially considering the valuable information that passes through
400
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:35.680
it every day. If you have not had your computer
401
00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:38.880
maintenance in the past six months, you are overdue. Stop
402
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.329
in or call any of our service centers to arrange
403
00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:44.329
a free pickup to ensure your computer continues to work
404
00:21:44.369 --> 00:21:44.690
for you.
405
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.099
All righty, guys. Welcome back into Compute This. My name
406
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.259
is Thor Schrock. I'm the owner of the Schrock Innovations
407
00:22:01.299 --> 00:22:05.390
Computer Company, where we are rocking on, apparently, this morning.
408
00:22:07.069 --> 00:22:10.690
That's right. Is it too early? No, no, not too early.
409
00:22:10.710 --> 00:22:11.630
You got to wake up.
410
00:22:11.710 --> 00:22:12.410
Never too early.
411
00:22:12.549 --> 00:22:12.849
I'm up.
412
00:22:13.109 --> 00:22:15.490
Why aren't you up? 402-558-1110 is the number to join
413
00:22:15.509 --> 00:22:16.089
us on the program today.
414
00:22:16.109 --> 00:22:16.170
888-250-2091.
415
00:22:16.170 --> 00:22:17.769
So everybody got all excited about the Apple.
416
00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:30.349
Foldable phone it's about flipping time i mean samsung is
417
00:22:30.509 --> 00:22:33.509
eight gens into theirs so you know i'm sure apple's
418
00:22:33.529 --> 00:22:36.410
like you know maybe it's time huawei has one you
419
00:22:36.430 --> 00:22:39.250
know maybe it's time you know and so they finally
420
00:22:39.269 --> 00:22:41.470
come out with their foldable phone they've done some things
421
00:22:41.509 --> 00:22:43.529
we talked about it last week the hinge is very
422
00:22:43.630 --> 00:22:47.410
intricate the the fold and the screen is almost undetectable
423
00:22:47.789 --> 00:22:50.019
so they've done some things that might actually be better
424
00:22:50.730 --> 00:22:52.759
than what samsung has done with their fold so they
425
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.299
may have actually innovated and improved the design a little
426
00:22:55.339 --> 00:23:00.259
bit um But everybody ignored the news on the Apple Watch.
427
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:03.700
I didn't hear about this until I was doing my
428
00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:05.480
prep for the show. And when I saw this story,
429
00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:06.740
I'm like, I have to bring this to you guys
430
00:23:06.809 --> 00:23:12.750
because this is insane. The new Apple Watch listens to
431
00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:16.710
all ambient conversations throughout your entire day when you wear it.
432
00:23:18.049 --> 00:23:19.950
And then at the end of the day, it uses
433
00:23:19.970 --> 00:23:23.660
AI to summarize all of those conversations to provide you
434
00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:27.200
with a daily report about what you talked about today.
435
00:23:30.849 --> 00:23:34.049
There is no permission from the other people in the room.
436
00:23:34.730 --> 00:23:37.730
There is no alert tone. The first thing I thought
437
00:23:37.769 --> 00:23:40.349
about was, you know, all those conversations where you're like,
438
00:23:40.730 --> 00:23:43.730
should I send an email about this or should we,
439
00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:45.440
should I just pick up the phone and call this
440
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.019
person or should I just go to their office and
441
00:23:47.339 --> 00:23:49.900
knock on the office and say, Hey, did, did you
442
00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:52.700
mean to say this when you said that? Because it
443
00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:57.140
sounds like rough or it might be communicating the wrong
444
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:01.000
thing or, you know, That isn't exactly what we want
445
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:03.420
to send in an email. We don't want a record
446
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.509
of that. You know what I mean? Sometimes you don't
447
00:24:06.529 --> 00:24:10.809
want the paper trail, you know, like Fauci. So, oh,
448
00:24:10.869 --> 00:24:17.299
too soon there. Remember the dogs. Remember the hounds.
449
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:19.759
Oh, gosh. The beagles.
450
00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:20.890
It was beagles, wasn't it?
451
00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:21.119
Yeah.
452
00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:23.200
You don't remember the Fauci beagles?
453
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:24.339
The Fauci beagles?
454
00:24:24.380 --> 00:24:25.960
I don't want to talk about the Fauci beagles. The
455
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:27.440
things that happened to those dogs are terrible.
456
00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.319
Yeah, let's move on.
457
00:24:29.339 --> 00:24:31.519
If you don't know, if you know, you know. And
458
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:37.869
if you don't, your ignorance is blissful. So anyway, the
459
00:24:37.970 --> 00:24:40.269
Apple Watch is going to listen to everything that happens
460
00:24:40.289 --> 00:24:42.230
in the world around you and then provide you with
461
00:24:42.349 --> 00:24:45.609
a report at the end of the day of what
462
00:24:45.769 --> 00:24:49.869
everyone around you also said. Additionally, there's a new feature
463
00:24:49.910 --> 00:24:53.039
called Live Rewind. And I'm trying to think of a
464
00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.940
use case for this. So, okay, you're having a conversation
465
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.769
and you can hit a button on your watch and
466
00:25:01.809 --> 00:25:03.829
it makes an audible tone to let everyone in the
467
00:25:03.890 --> 00:25:08.210
room know that you're rewinding 15 seconds because you're going
468
00:25:08.230 --> 00:25:12.230
to listen to what was said again. I asked my wife,
469
00:25:12.289 --> 00:25:14.630
I'm like, I can't think of a use for this.
470
00:25:14.670 --> 00:25:16.519
And maybe I'm just being dense. And she said, oh,
471
00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:18.119
this would be great in an argument with your spouse.
472
00:25:19.410 --> 00:25:23.089
You know, you're like, oh, no, no. You said exactly.
473
00:25:25.869 --> 00:25:28.549
Do not hit the play button. Like, oh, come on.
474
00:25:29.029 --> 00:25:30.789
And then you get to hear what you said.
475
00:25:31.009 --> 00:25:32.950
Does the lovely Kimberly listen to this show?
476
00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:33.819
Oh, she does.
477
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:34.079
Oh, yeah.
478
00:25:34.099 --> 00:25:36.279
She's right now listening to it. So, yeah, she knows.
479
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.119
But she has an Apple iWatch.
480
00:25:38.180 --> 00:25:38.279
Right.
481
00:25:38.299 --> 00:25:40.819
So maybe I don't get her the new one for Christmas. Yeah.
482
00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:42.859
This could be this could get rough. You know, I
483
00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:43.500
never said that.
484
00:25:45.190 --> 00:25:45.769
Oh no.
485
00:25:46.509 --> 00:25:48.450
Oh gosh. But just the last 15 seconds. So you'd
486
00:25:48.470 --> 00:25:51.539
have to have like an incredibly bad
short-term memory, you know,
487
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.720
like 15 seconds. Um, people in the room never agreed
488
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.059
to being recorded or replayed. It's going to replay every
489
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.839
sound from the room that was recorded. So 11 States
490
00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:07.259
require two party consent. So I don't know if this
491
00:26:07.299 --> 00:26:09.440
feature is going to be turned off like in Washington, DC.
492
00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:12.339
Could you imagine how useful this would be in Washington, DC?
493
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:13.619
Huh?
494
00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:18.500
No AOC. What you actually said was, you said it
495
00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:19.160
15 seconds ago.
496
00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:21.480
A politician's worst nightmare.
497
00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:28.660
You already forgot. Yeah, it would be. So, yeah, the
498
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.400
new Apple Watch hasn't been released yet. It's going to
499
00:26:31.420 --> 00:26:33.269
be out here soon. You'll be out in time for Christmas,
500
00:26:33.309 --> 00:26:35.640
I'm sure. But if you get the new Apple Watch,
501
00:26:35.660 --> 00:26:39.430
you will get these capabilities for free. The other thing
502
00:26:39.470 --> 00:26:41.490
to be aware of here is your old Apple Watch
503
00:26:41.549 --> 00:26:45.650
will not inherit these capabilities. They are silicon-based, which means
504
00:26:45.869 --> 00:26:49.089
it requires the new processor in the watch to handle
505
00:26:49.109 --> 00:26:52.970
the AI transcription and everything. So no word on battery life,
506
00:26:53.049 --> 00:26:56.630
no word on how this impacts the functionality of the watch,
507
00:26:56.730 --> 00:26:59.529
no word on if the thing actually tells time, but
508
00:27:00.349 --> 00:27:03.130
it will record everything in the room going forward. So
509
00:27:03.190 --> 00:27:05.519
something to be aware of for everybody out there that
510
00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:08.339
has what they consider to be private conversations with people.
511
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:10.759
If they're wearing an Apple Watch, it may not be
512
00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:14.680
so private. 402-558-1110, number to join us on the program.
513
00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:17.170
Got to take a quick break here, guys. When we
514
00:27:17.230 --> 00:27:21.630
come back, companies have been, the fear was that companies
515
00:27:21.690 --> 00:27:25.309
would cut tons of employees and replace them with AI.
516
00:27:25.569 --> 00:27:27.880
There have been companies that have fired thousands of employees
517
00:27:27.950 --> 00:27:31.859
and specifically cited AI as the reason that they were
518
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:37.079
able to do that. Now those same companies are rehiring
519
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.279
some of those employees and the wages that they're having
520
00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:43.119
to pay to get them back are way higher than
521
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:45.240
what they were
paying in the first place. So for
522
00:27:45.259 --> 00:27:47.539
those of you who are thinking about automating your business
523
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.279
with AI, this is a story you don't want to miss.
524
00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:52.500
For those of you who are worried about losing your
525
00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:56.720
job because of AI, this is probably the most financially
526
00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:59.539
important story you're going to hear in your career. And
527
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:01.359
we're going to tell you how you're going to make
528
00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:03.559
up to 30% more money when they rehire you, coming
529
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:04.880
back next on Compute This.
530
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.349
Have you noticed that almost every piece of technology seems
531
00:28:09.380 --> 00:28:12.650
to do its best to be disposable? Every day, people
532
00:28:12.690 --> 00:28:16.369
toss their phones, tablets, and other electronic devices because they
533
00:28:16.450 --> 00:28:20.430
can't be repaired. Manufacturers have engineered their products to fail
534
00:28:20.569 --> 00:28:23.210
on a schedule so they can extract more money out
535
00:28:23.230 --> 00:28:26.720
of your family budget automatically every year or so. But
536
00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:28.599
what if it didn't have to be that way? What
537
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.599
if you could get the performance of today's fastest computers
538
00:28:31.660 --> 00:28:34.880
with the expansion and upgrade options you used to enjoy?
539
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:39.180
You just described Schrock's modular desktop computers. Having the right
540
00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:42.660
tool for the job is important, and Schrock's modular desktop
541
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:46.910
PCs pack the performance and flexibility to handle your computing needs,
542
00:28:47.250 --> 00:28:50.250
from just checking the email to running a complex business.
543
00:28:50.750 --> 00:28:54.369
Modular desktops are engineered to be easily repaired with widely
544
00:28:54.430 --> 00:28:59.210
available industry standard parts. Every component is selected intentionally to
545
00:28:59.250 --> 00:29:02.319
give you years of upgrade and repair options. It is
546
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.779
not uncommon for a Schrock customer to be using the
547
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:07.839
same computer for a decade after they bought it. Modular
548
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.980
PCs are the most popular custom computers in the Midwest
549
00:29:11.089 --> 00:29:13.890
for a reason. When you are ready for your next computer,
550
00:29:13.970 --> 00:29:16.789
stop in to check out the modular lifestyle or shop
551
00:29:16.890 --> 00:29:19.309
online at schrockinnovations.com.
552
00:29:20.170 --> 00:29:23.279
Schrock Innovation's Data Recovery Lab saves the data the other
553
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:23.960
guys can't.
554
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.319
The next time your.
555
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:28.079
Hard drive, camera card, or flash drive fails, let Schrock
556
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:29.339
get your data back.
557
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.529
Schrock Innovation's solid-state laptops are engineered locally for speed and
558
00:29:34.609 --> 00:29:37.970
reliability you just can't get from the major national brands.
559
00:29:38.349 --> 00:29:41.319
Each of our laptops starts off with an Asus chassis.
560
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.259
We remove the stock drives and memory and upgrade them
561
00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:48.910
with higher-performing components. This unlocks the full potential of the laptops.
562
00:29:49.230 --> 00:29:52.549
making the unit up to 25% faster. This is why
563
00:29:52.589 --> 00:29:56.410
Schrock solid state laptops last so much longer than the competition.
564
00:29:56.930 --> 00:30:01.069
If your laptop starts out 25% faster, that means over time,
565
00:30:01.109 --> 00:30:03.130
it doesn't slow down nearly as fast.
566
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:15.539
Oh yeah. There was an app and I thought about
567
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.079
it for just a second. I was watching YouTube shorts yesterday.
568
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.680
Cause I, wanted to wrap my brain after the football game. And, uh,
569
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:24.900
it came up and it's, it was an AI dance app.
570
00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:27.119
So you upload a picture of yourself and then it
571
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:30.299
takes a song and it animates you in the picture
572
00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:33.609
to the song with incredible dance moves. And anybody who
573
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:35.670
just saw what I did on the camera knows I
574
00:30:35.710 --> 00:30:38.509
have no dance moves. So I thought this would be hilarious.
575
00:30:38.529 --> 00:30:39.450
I'm going to do this. I'm gonna send it to
576
00:30:39.470 --> 00:30:41.470
my wife and be like, check this out. And I
577
00:30:41.509 --> 00:30:43.769
just didn't do it because I'm like, it would No.
578
00:30:43.990 --> 00:30:44.730
Oh, you should do it.
579
00:30:45.430 --> 00:30:45.609
Maybe.
580
00:30:45.650 --> 00:30:47.670
I would have had to create an account and probably
581
00:30:47.690 --> 00:30:50.150
had to pay some money. And I'm like, it's funny
582
00:30:50.190 --> 00:30:52.069
until it's not funny. I try too hard, you know?
583
00:30:52.250 --> 00:30:54.289
Well, you just do it once. And then AI edits
584
00:30:54.329 --> 00:30:57.450
you in post. And then you look great. Just imagine.
585
00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:59.619
Until I actually show up at my son's wedding reception.
586
00:30:59.630 --> 00:31:02.980
And they're like, go Thor. Go Thor. And I'm like, um,
587
00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:04.779
like sprinkler thing.
588
00:31:05.420 --> 00:31:05.599
Yeah.
589
00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:06.420
That's all I got.
590
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.500
Doing the lawnmower or the running man. Yeah.
591
00:31:08.660 --> 00:31:12.509
The shopping cart. That's all I got. There you go.
592
00:31:12.940 -->
00:31:13.970
See, you're a natural already.
593
00:31:14.009 --> 00:31:17.329
Yeah, there we go. 402-558-1110. If you want to save
594
00:31:17.369 --> 00:31:19.890
us from ourselves, you can call the program. Please, please,
595
00:31:19.990 --> 00:31:22.309
for the love of the sweet baby, ask a question,
596
00:31:22.369 --> 00:31:25.250
make a comment, and change the subject, please, from my
597
00:31:25.289 --> 00:31:28.980
dancing capability. One of the things that companies are desperately
598
00:31:29.019 --> 00:31:31.799
trying to change the subject on is this trend where
599
00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:35.519
AI gets introduced to a company. And we're going through
600
00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:37.880
this right now in real time at Schrock.
601
00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:39.180
We are.
602
00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:44.039
Guys, we are leveraging AI tools that would blow your mind.
603
00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:49.380
Things that, just crazy stuff, right? Crazy stuff. Let me
604
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:54.259
give you a great example. Secure Updater. Securely and safely
605
00:31:54.420 --> 00:31:59.859
updates applications on your computer every eight hours. Why every
606
00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:04.880
eight hours? Well, because, you know, the human that works
607
00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:07.680
at the service center is going to do once, maybe
608
00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:10.160
twice a day check to see if there's a new
609
00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:14.319
update to put in there. Why do we have a
610
00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:15.099
human doing that?
611
00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:19.039
Why?
612
00:32:19.059 --> 00:32:22.519
This is a manual task. Is there a new version
613
00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:23.200
of Adobe Reader?
614
00:32:23.339 --> 00:32:23.559
No?
615
00:32:23.859 --> 00:32:26.240
Okay, then don't do anything. Is there a new version
616
00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:29.289
of Adobe Reader? Yes. Well, then push it out to
617
00:32:29.329 --> 00:32:32.269
Secure Updater. Then we could have Secure Updater check every hour,
618
00:32:32.329 --> 00:32:34.990
for example. And we can get you your updates eight
619
00:32:35.210 --> 00:32:39.009
times faster because we have an AI pushing the updates.
620
00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:42.609
Not because the human can't do it, but because the
621
00:32:42.650 --> 00:32:46.869
human can't do it 24-7 all day and all night.
622
00:32:48.250 --> 00:32:50.490
And it's just not cost-effective to pay a team of
623
00:32:50.529 --> 00:32:53.480
humans to do that 24-7 all day and all night.
624
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:56.200
When we can put one agent on it, one agent
625
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:58.779
can do it every hour, two hours, four hours, whatever,
626
00:32:59.619 --> 00:33:02.440
and we get a much better outcome for our customers.
627
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:08.150
It's better service. And then when our customers have Secure Updater,
628
00:33:08.910 --> 00:33:12.450
They always have the most recent software. Does that mean
629
00:33:12.470 --> 00:33:15.349
I'm going to say, who is the person in my
630
00:33:15.410 --> 00:33:18.130
company responsible for generating these updates and can we fire
631
00:33:18.170 --> 00:33:21.720
them now? Hell, heck no. You know, this is a
632
00:33:21.779 --> 00:33:23.900
side task for somebody else in the company. The Des
633
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.519
Moines Service Center handles this, by the way. Elliot and
634
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.759
his team handle it. And they are incredibly thankful to
635
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.059
have automation so they don't have to mess with this anymore.
636
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:35.619
This is a tool fatigue situation for our people that
637
00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:39.099
takes them away from delivering direct service to customers in
638
00:33:39.140 --> 00:33:41.180
the service center. They can't be talking to someone if
639
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:45.059
they're updating Secure Updater. So this is a win all
640
00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:48.400
the way around. This is customers get a better product.
641
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:52.920
Employees have less stress. Customers get better service in the
642
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.700
service center because of AI. We didn't fire anybody. We
643
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.720
just got better. A lot better. We made it even
644
00:34:01.819 --> 00:34:07.019
harder for competitors to chase us down. Because we are flying.
645
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.559
We are flying at breakneck speed. The amount of people
646
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:11.719
you would have to hire to chase us down is
647
00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:19.150
going to be impossible to accomplish. That's how AI should
648
00:34:19.190 --> 00:34:22.070
be implemented in a business. So some businesses, though, don't
649
00:34:22.110 --> 00:34:23.730
see it that way. They're saying, we have a whole
650
00:34:23.750 --> 00:34:27.210
team of mortgage loan processors, let's say, and all they
651
00:34:27.230 --> 00:34:30.090
do all day long is look at documents and then say, check,
652
00:34:30.139 --> 00:34:32.489
we got that document. Why do we need a human
653
00:34:32.510 --> 00:34:34.139
to do that? We could have the AI look at
654
00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:36.840
the document and say, check, got that document. If you
655
00:34:36.860 --> 00:34:39.559
have ever closed on a house before, how many times
656
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:42.780
in your life have you gone to the mortgage company,
657
00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:46.840
to the bank, with a folder of pre-prepared documents that
658
00:34:47.110 --> 00:34:49.250
and said, here are my documents. You can check them
659
00:34:49.289 --> 00:34:51.809
off your list now. They're all perfectly in alignment with
660
00:34:51.909 --> 00:34:55.969
no anomalies of any kind. Thank you. Have a great day. Hello.
661
00:34:56.210 --> 00:34:56.469
Never.
662
00:34:57.730 --> 00:34:58.010
Never.
663
00:34:58.150 --> 00:35:03.030
I'm going through that process right now on
a house. Never. Well,
664
00:35:03.070 --> 00:35:05.329
we have to source where these funds came from because
665
00:35:05.409 --> 00:35:08.150
after the 9-11 attacks, they have an anti-terrorist. Am I
666
00:35:08.190 --> 00:35:10.670
a terrorist? I'm trying to buy a house in Papillion.
667
00:35:11.650 --> 00:35:14.360
I'm not a terrorist. Thank you. All right, let me
668
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.360
show you where the money came from. Here's where I
669
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:18.260
earned it. Do you have any pay stubs for that?
670
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:20.119
All right, let me go get you the pay stubs.
671
00:35:20.139 --> 00:35:22.739
Here are the pay stubs. Okay, these pay stubs, do
672
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:24.780
you have any bank statements that show these pay stubs
673
00:35:24.820 --> 00:35:27.030
going into your actual account? All right, let me go
674
00:35:27.050 --> 00:35:31.670
get you the banks. That's how mortgages work. You're going
675
00:35:31.690 --> 00:35:35.670
to tell a computer to do that? I am sure
676
00:35:35.710 --> 00:35:38.250
that you could code something. We could code something that
677
00:35:38.269 --> 00:35:41.070
would get us 80% of the way there. But that
678
00:35:41.210 --> 00:35:45.500
human judgment at the end, There are just a ton
679
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.230
of examples of this, guys, where that human judgment is required,
680
00:35:49.530 --> 00:35:51.190
and the companies are starting to figure that out. They're
681
00:35:51.230 --> 00:35:53.610
figuring out that we can get 80% of the mortgages
682
00:35:53.630 --> 00:35:56.829
written with no staff. That whole floor of people and
683
00:35:56.869 --> 00:35:59.929
all that office space, we didn't need it. But for
684
00:35:59.929 --> 00:36:03.409
20% of the time, when that human judgment is required,
685
00:36:04.210 --> 00:36:07.389
we still need those people. So maybe we were a
686
00:36:07.389 --> 00:36:11.349
little hasty in firing them all. So Gartner did a study,
687
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.809
and their warning was, businesses that you're laying off people
688
00:36:15.849 --> 00:36:20.170
for AI will backfire. Number one, the cost of the
689
00:36:20.269 --> 00:36:23.639
AI is getting more and more expensive for the frontier AI.
690
00:36:24.110 --> 00:36:27.300
It can actually be more expensive than the people. So
691
00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:32.699
unless it's performing perfectly 24-7, like the secure updater situation,
692
00:36:33.539 --> 00:36:38.280
it's not worth the expense. The people are messier, but
693
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:43.360
they're cheaper. So stay with the people. One-third of Of
694
00:36:43.380 --> 00:36:46.380
the employees that have been fired for AI. Now, the
695
00:36:46.420 --> 00:36:48.340
whole we fire people for AI thing is about a
696
00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:50.980
year old, maybe. I mean, people have been talking about
697
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.530
it for a while, but it hasn't really been happening
698
00:36:52.590 --> 00:36:56.010
until like this year. One third of the people who
699
00:36:56.050 --> 00:37:00.230
have been fired have already been rehired or will be
700
00:37:00.289 --> 00:37:05.659
rehired by 2029 is what Gartner is predicting. Not only that,
701
00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:08.019
they're going to be rehired at a steep premium, up
702
00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:10.480
to 30% more than they were being paid before.
703
00:37:10.500 --> 00:37:10.570
Why?
704
00:37:10.619 --> 00:37:10.820
Why?
705
00:37:11.699 --> 00:37:16.519
Have you noticed the job market's pretty tight? You have options.
706
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:20.440
You can go work elsewhere. If we want you back
707
00:37:21.340 --> 00:37:23.639
and you don't trust us, we're going to have to
708
00:37:23.739 --> 00:37:25.980
offer you a lot of money just so you don't
709
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:27.480
think we're hiring you just to get us through this
710
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:29.659
AI blip until you, you know, get the AI good
711
00:37:29.699 --> 00:37:34.489
enough to fire you a second time. These companies are
712
00:37:34.550 --> 00:37:36.929
losing their institutional knowledge. We call it a truck. We
713
00:37:36.949 --> 00:37:41.019
call it the tribal knowledge. Um, when you just know
714
00:37:41.139 --> 00:37:45.010
which safe upgrade is being talked about because you know
715
00:37:45.050 --> 00:37:47.489
your product. When you hire a new person, they have
716
00:37:47.550 --> 00:37:50.190
no idea, and you have to teach that. That's the
717
00:37:50.250 --> 00:37:53.369
tribal knowledge. When you start firing whole floors of people,
718
00:37:54.230 --> 00:37:57.170
you're not just losing those people and their capabilities. You're
719
00:37:57.210 --> 00:37:59.289
losing all that tribal knowledge that they take with them.
720
00:37:59.869 --> 00:38:02.829
The expense to rebuild that is intense. You're never going
721
00:38:02.849 --> 00:38:05.869
to save that on AI. So there you go, guys.
722
00:38:05.909 --> 00:38:10.019
If you ever get your job clipped for AI– Take
723
00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:12.079
solace in the fact that they will probably be coming
724
00:38:12.139 --> 00:38:15.360
back on bended knee and a 30% raise looking to
725
00:38:15.409 --> 00:38:19.530
bring you back. 402-558-1110. Roseanne, thank you for calling into
726
00:38:19.550 --> 00:38:21.650
the program. How can I help you today on Compute This?
727
00:38:23.610 --> 00:38:28.380
Hello. I just wanted to thank the customer service technician.
728
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:34.300
Last week, I was right in the middle of a project,
729
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:39.639
and I kept getting these pop-ups that I could not–
730
00:38:40.329 --> 00:38:43.429
get rid of. And I was just so frustrated. And
731
00:38:44.250 --> 00:38:48.340
I called your office and the papillion office and the
732
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:52.460
customer service technician helped me get rid of them. He
733
00:38:52.480 -->
00:38:59.570
was very patient and he went through the whole way
734
00:38:59.659 --> 00:39:04.690
to get rid of it. And it took about 20 minutes.
735
00:39:05.050 --> 00:39:08.269
And so I wanted to thank, because I was just
736
00:39:08.309 --> 00:39:12.809
so frustrated. I, I, I forgot to get his name,
737
00:39:12.849 --> 00:39:14.550
you know, because I was right in the middle of
738
00:39:15.070 --> 00:39:20.289
a project. And so I did want to tell you
739
00:39:20.570 --> 00:39:24.989
to thank the personnel because they were very patient and
740
00:39:25.110 --> 00:39:27.469
very helpful. And I was so appreciative.
741
00:39:28.329 --> 00:39:29.969
Well, thank you for taking the time to call, Rosalina.
742
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.440
and tell me that. And they hear the show, so
743
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:34.019
they know as well. But I will make sure I
744
00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:36.139
point this out to them as well. You know what?
745
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.679
Those scareware pop ups is what Roseanne is talking about.
746
00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:41.420
They pop up on your screen. They tell you you're
747
00:39:41.460 --> 00:39:43.599
infected or they tell you that you You know, you've
748
00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:46.079
been doing naughty things with your computer and we have video,
749
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:48.699
you know, that kind of garbage. And they're just pop-ups.
750
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:50.699
They're not viruses. So a lot of times we have
751
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.389
customers that have Sophos with a virus-free guarantee and they
752
00:39:53.429 --> 00:39:55.690
will call us and say, I think I'm infected. You're
753
00:39:55.710 --> 00:39:58.090
not infected. It's just a pop-up. Now, the problem is
754
00:39:58.110 --> 00:40:00.489
we can turn off all notifications, which is what we
755
00:40:00.530 --> 00:40:02.949
started doing for customers. We started doing it on our
756
00:40:02.989 --> 00:40:04.469
new builds. When you buy a new computer from Shock,
757
00:40:04.489 --> 00:40:08.260
we were just disabling notifications because eventually they pop up
758
00:40:08.300 --> 00:40:11.380
and scare you. The problem is that also turns off
759
00:40:11.420 --> 00:40:15.730
notifications for like your backups. or for SOFOs, or secure
760
00:40:15.769 --> 00:40:19.380
notifications you actually need to see. So Thomas has been
761
00:40:19.469 --> 00:40:22.760
actively working yesterday in the Papillion Service Center on a
762
00:40:23.900 --> 00:40:29.239
mitigation path that we can use to allow the important
763
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:32.530
ones through, but not all the, we can create basically
764
00:40:32.809 --> 00:40:36.309
what are called priority alerts. And let those through, but
765
00:40:36.449 --> 00:40:39.630
not all the junk alerts. Like when you go to CNN.com
766
00:40:39.690 --> 00:40:41.090
and it says, would you like to be updated on
767
00:40:41.150 --> 00:40:43.739
new stories on this website? And you
just happen to say, yes,
768
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.019
that means you're going to get an alert every single
769
00:40:47.059 --> 00:40:48.980
time they publish a new story. It's going to pop
770
00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:50.820
up on your screen and the lower right corner, and
771
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:52.860
it's going to get really annoying. And you're like, I
772
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:55.659
never turned that on. You did. You just don't remember.
773
00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:58.250
And so as a result, you know, it's a problem.
774
00:40:59.690 --> 00:41:03.000
What if we could make a, program that would just
775
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:07.130
solve that and distribute that with our computers what if
776
00:41:07.769 --> 00:41:11.369
maybe we should bundle that in with secure updater not
777
00:41:11.389 --> 00:41:15.590
really an updating thing though but can't really bundle it
778
00:41:15.610 --> 00:41:18.739
with Sophos we don't make Sophos but we usually recommend
779
00:41:18.780 --> 00:41:21.880
secure updater in conjunction with Sophos so maybe this is
780
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:23.800
something that we should look at building because no one
781
00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:27.440
has built it yet and because of AI we can
782
00:41:27.460 --> 00:41:32.070
build anything we want anything we can imagine So why
783
00:41:32.090 --> 00:41:34.860
don't we build this for our customers? So we're working
784
00:41:34.900 --> 00:41:38.059
on it. Thanks for the call, Roseanne. The problem that
785
00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:40.179
you have is happens all the time to tons of people.
786
00:41:40.659 --> 00:41:42.699
We need to take a final break. This is the
787
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:44.400
final one, right? Final break of the program, right? I
788
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.829
don't need another break. He needs a break. All right,
789
00:41:46.869 --> 00:41:49.289
so we're going to take a break. But when we
790
00:41:49.329 --> 00:41:53.230
come back, this has to be probably one of the
791
00:41:53.289 --> 00:41:58.630
most shocking stories that I've seen all year. Tim Cook,
792
00:41:58.869 --> 00:42:01.219
and as you guys know, Tim Cook is the former
793
00:42:01.260 --> 00:42:04.869
CEO of Apple. We have a video, it's on YouTube,
794
00:42:05.289 --> 00:42:09.510
of Tim Cook. And he's dressed like Tim Cook. He's
795
00:42:09.550 --> 00:42:14.030
got the white hair like Tim Cook. Like, this is
796
00:42:14.070 --> 00:42:17.179
Tim Cook. And he's saying the only phone he would
797
00:42:17.340 --> 00:42:20.619
own going forward is the Samsung Z Fold 8 on
798
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:25.699
the eve of Apple releasing its folding phone. Do we
799
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:26.239
have the audio?
800
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:29.260
Do we have it? I do have the audio queued up. Okay.
801
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:30.800
So when we come back from the break, we're going
802
00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:32.880
to play the audio from YouTube for this that you
803
00:42:32.900 --> 00:42:37.070
can hear Tim Cook in his own words explain why
804
00:42:37.150 --> 00:42:40.670
the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the only phone he
805
00:42:40.690 --> 00:42:42.789
would ever want to use. Coming up next on Compute This.
806
00:42:43.289 --> 00:42:46.159

to use while you wait. We can even back up
817
00:43:19.699 --> 00:43:22.440
your data before we ship your computer just in case
818
00:43:22.500 --> 00:43:25.880
the warranty fix includes a hard drive wipe. Schrock tests
819
00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:28.400
your computer when it comes back from repair to ensure
820
00:43:28.420 --> 00:43:31.539
the problem was solved properly and all of your hardware

829
00:43:53.030 --> 00:43:56.010
Everyone has experienced some form of data loss or knows
830
00:43:56.110 --> 00:44:00.110
someone who has. It's unfortunate, but sometimes the technology we
831
00:44:00.150 --> 00:44:03.030
rely on simply fails. And the last question you want
832
00:44:03.050 --> 00:44:05.610
to hear at that time is, you have a backup, right?
833
00:44:06.289 --> 00:44:09.280
When your hard drive, memory card, backup drive, or flash
834
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:12.539
drive fails you, turn to the data recovery experts at
835
00:44:12.619 --> 00:44:16.480
Schrock Innovations to get those pictures, songs, and memories back.
836
00:44:16.940 --> 00:44:19.619
You know, not all data recovery companies are the same.
837
00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:22.539
Having the right tools and
knowledge to get the job
838
00:44:22.579 --> 00:44:25.199
done right on the first attempt makes all the difference
839
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:28.559
between a successful recovery and the permanent loss of your
840
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:31.469
important data. Sometimes you only get one shot at a
841
00:44:31.530 --> 00:44:34.929
successful recovery. That's why Schrock has invested in top of
842
00:44:34.969 --> 00:44:39.849
the line recovery imagers. a Class 100 clean environment, over 10,000
843
00:44:39.849 --> 00:44:43.469
donor components, and a staff of recovery engineers that are
844
00:44:43.489 --> 00:44:47.050
the best in the business. Schrock has a 96% recovery
845
00:44:47.110 --> 00:44:50.519
rate getting data back from failed devices. When the unthinkable
846
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.099
happens and you need your data back, turn to the
847
00:44:53.179 --> 00:44:58.190
experts at Schrock Innovations for professional and affordable data recovery services.
848
00:45:06.570 --> 00:45:09.989
This music is how most Nebraska fans felt after that game.
849
00:45:10.530 --> 00:45:11.960
Remember when we used to beat people 54-7?
850
00:45:12.170 --> 00:45:14.710
Yeah, I do.
851
00:45:15.030 --> 00:45:17.389
And you got to see the younger players and see
852
00:45:17.429 --> 00:45:18.510
the talent coming up.
853
00:45:18.570 --> 00:45:20.010
All the walk-ons come in.
854
00:45:20.090 --> 00:45:23.190
They got some reps, you know, and wow. And then
855
00:45:23.230 --> 00:45:25.070
it's like your defense is getting stomped, and so they
856
00:45:25.090 --> 00:45:27.849
start rotating in the backups, and then the backups start stomping.
857
00:45:28.789 --> 00:45:30.369
That was the best thing to see.
858
00:45:30.550 --> 00:45:31.789
Oh, yeah. I'm old enough to remember.
859
00:45:32.429 --> 00:45:33.309
We saw it yesterday.
860
00:45:34.010 --> 00:45:34.610
Yeah, for a day.
861
00:45:34.989 --> 00:45:37.869
They brought the backups in, And the backups held them.
862
00:45:37.929 --> 00:45:41.449
I'm like, the backups didn't get scored on. The starting
863
00:45:41.489 --> 00:45:45.769
defense got scored on, but not the backups. I was like,
864
00:45:45.789 --> 00:45:50.360
that's crazy. That's progress. And yes, I know. It's Bowling Green.
865
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:50.940
I know.
866
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:55.800
But still, don't take my joy. Give me my island drums.
867
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:57.559
Don't take my joy. All right.
868
00:45:59.190 --> 00:45:59.260
402-558-1110.
869
00:46:01.010 --> 00:46:02.409
Before we jump into the Tim Cook thing here, I
870
00:46:02.429 --> 00:46:04.849
want to remind everybody that right now we have safe

out at schrockinnovations.com. Click on shop and then specials. Now,
886
00:46:56.260 --> 00:46:58.900
I have to say, guys, this was a shocker. Like,
887
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.760
I'm doing my show prep, and my AI assistant says, hey, boss,
888
00:47:02.900 --> 00:47:05.139
we got a story that might be good for segment four.
889
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:08.320
I'm like, okay, what you got? What you got, Chad?
890
00:47:08.860 --> 00:47:13.480
He says, Tim Cook is endorsing the Galaxy Z Fold 8.
891
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:19.090
I'm like, are you sure? Like, show me the link.
892
00:47:19.710 --> 00:47:21.849
And I click the link, and son of a biscuit,
893
00:47:21.949 --> 00:47:25.050
sure enough. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
894
00:47:25.670 --> 00:47:28.769
So I'm going to play you the audio now of
895
00:47:28.949 --> 00:47:31.510
Tim Cook and exactly why he is saying that the
896
00:47:31.570 --> 00:47:34.059
Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the only phone that he
897
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:38.420
would ever want to own. Hi, I'm Tim Cook from Palmy,
898
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.519
and I'm reviewing my new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.
899
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:44.969
With this phone, everything changes.
900
00:47:45.300 --> 00:47:51.230
The future is here. A phone reimagined, smarter, faster, better
901
00:47:51.250 --> 00:47:51.570
than ever.
902
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:54.159
This thing is the best of both worlds. Nice and
903
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:56.880
compact folded. It's perfect for firing off a quick text.
904
00:47:57.219 --> 00:47:59.900
And big and beautiful when you unfold it. Amazing AI.
905
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:03.789
Photo edits in seconds. Very professional. New profile pic?
906
00:48:05.750 --> 00:48:06.269
How about that?
907
00:48:08.610 --> 00:48:11.030
It's got to be that. Best phone I've ever had.
908
00:48:11.650 --> 00:48:16.769
You can quote me. Tim Cook from Palmerston North. So
909
00:48:17.190 --> 00:48:20.769
Palmerston North is in Australia. So this is some
random
910
00:48:20.809 --> 00:48:24.289
dude named Tim Cook that Samsung.
911
00:48:24.130 --> 00:48:25.989
He looks a lot like him though, to be fair.
912
00:48:26.010 --> 00:48:27.260
They put him in the clothes. They did his hair
913
00:48:27.300 --> 00:48:28.800
the same way. Do you see in the profile pic
914
00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:30.679
when they changed his profile pic, his hair was dark?
915
00:48:30.820 --> 00:48:32.699
Yeah. It went back to his normal hair? The AI
916
00:48:32.739 --> 00:48:33.599
went back to his normal hair.
917
00:48:35.219 --> 00:48:37.260
So it was like, oh my gosh, this is hilarious.
918
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.690
So Samsung releases this ad on YouTube when Apple is
919
00:48:40.730 --> 00:48:44.039
launching their new phone. that this rando guy named Tim Cook,
920
00:48:44.099 --> 00:48:45.909
they found in Australia, they had to go all the
921
00:48:45.929 --> 00:48:47.750
way to Australia to find another Tim Cook, if that
922
00:48:47.789 --> 00:48:51.309
tells you anything. And, and they find this guy and
923
00:48:51.329 --> 00:48:53.269
they just have, they dress him up like Tim Cook
924
00:48:53.329 --> 00:48:55.050
from Apple. And then they have them talk about the
925
00:48:55.090 --> 00:48:56.889
galaxy full date and they just publish it on YouTube
926
00:48:56.949 --> 00:49:00.519
as a YouTube commercial. Uh, but it landed you and
927
00:49:00.539 --> 00:49:04.239
you know, Apple's kind of sensitive about that stuff, but
928
00:49:04.699 --> 00:49:06.380
I mean, anybody with a sense of humor is going
929
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.039
to look at that commercial and laugh like, That's just
930
00:49:09.099 --> 00:49:11.179
a straight dig. This would be like– this is like
931
00:49:11.219 --> 00:49:14.929
when Apple and PC– remember those commercials from like 2008-ish?
932
00:49:15.369 --> 00:49:17.429
Like there was the Mac and the PC and Mac
933
00:49:17.449 --> 00:49:19.789
was like this cool dude and PC was this nerdy guy?
934
00:49:19.809 --> 00:49:19.889
Yeah.
935
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:22.199
And then Mac's like oh PC do you have a
936
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:26.159
virus yeah I have a virus you know and oh
937
00:49:26.219 --> 00:49:28.559
I don't get viruses because I'm a Mac biggest lie
938
00:49:28.699 --> 00:49:31.329
ever yeah you know stuff like that and people still
939
00:49:31.369 --> 00:49:33.349
believe that to this day that Macs don't get viruses
940
00:49:33.449 --> 00:49:36.130
I mean it There's a reason they make a version
941
00:49:36.150 --> 00:49:38.650
of Sophos for Mac. I'm just saying they make a
942
00:49:38.670 --> 00:49:42.869
version for Linux too, all you Linux users. So it's– yeah,
943
00:49:43.150 --> 00:49:46.150
it's needed. But yeah, so this was hilarious. This Tim
944
00:49:46.190 --> 00:49:49.449
Cook thing was funny. So I'm glad we all got
945
00:49:49.489 --> 00:49:52.949
Tim Cook's opinion on the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which
946
00:49:52.989 --> 00:49:56.139
is also a $ 2, 000 financial monstrosity. So it's not like
947
00:49:56.179 --> 00:49:59.599
the Apple phone is anything special with its $ 2, 000 to $ 2, 500
948
00:49:59.500 --> 00:50:02.280
price tag. That's how much a foldable device goes for new.
949
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:04.199
That's why I never pay the new price for it.
950
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:08.119
That's why I didn't get a Galaxy Z Fold 8.
951
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:12.409
The Z Fold 7. Best phone I've ever had. I'm
952
00:50:12.489 --> 00:50:15.510
Thor from Schrock Innovations. Good luck finding another one of
953
00:50:15.530 --> 00:50:16.110
those guys.
954
00:50:17.510 --> 00:50:20.170
That's true, actually. That would be funny if they did
955
00:50:20.210 --> 00:50:22.889
you up like, I don't know, Thor from Marvel or something.
956
00:50:22.909 --> 00:50:26.610
You'd have to find a completely different person from me
957
00:50:26.849 --> 00:50:30.300
who's also named Thor Schrock. And then you'd have to
958
00:50:30.340 --> 00:50:32.139
make them look like me and talk like me.
959
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:34.440
That's the magic of Hollywood. You can make anybody Thor Schrock.
960
00:50:34.699 --> 00:50:36.420
But they found this guy.
961
00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:37.219
Well, I guess I don't know.
962
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:39.900
Maybe this guy's name isn't really Tim Cook. Maybe he's
963
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:43.099
just some actor. I guess we all just assumed he
964
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:43.900
was really Tim.
965
00:50:44.019 --> 00:50:45.659
He's probably really Tim Cook, though.
966
00:50:46.050 --> 00:50:47.230
Yeah, because, I mean, you don't want to get sued
967
00:50:47.250 --> 00:50:50.409
by Apple. Yeah, if you're like, that's why in all
968
00:50:50.429 --> 00:50:52.469
those lead-ons, guys, I had to be so specific. I
969
00:50:52.489 --> 00:50:56.969
was like, Tim Cook. I couldn't say he. Every time
970
00:50:57.010 --> 00:51:00.239
I said, Tim Cook said, because it is Tim Cook.
971
00:51:01.210 --> 00:51:02.929
It's not the Tim Cook you thought it was, but
972
00:51:02.969 --> 00:51:05.300
it's Tim Cook. But I couldn't say he said because
973
00:51:05.340 --> 00:51:05.880
then I'm talking.
974
00:51:05.900 --> 00:51:08.119
From Parliament North, by the way, in Australia.
975
00:51:09.300 --> 00:51:10.420
I don't even know where that is.
976
00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:11.579
I don't either.
977
00:51:11.739 --> 00:51:16.579
It's just north of the kangaroo. That's all I know. 402-558-1110, guys.
978
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:20.119
We're going to wrap things up here on the program today.
979
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:21.909
So just a quick recap on what we've talked about
980
00:51:21.949 --> 00:51:24.869
on the program so far today. We do have one
981
00:51:25.389 --> 00:51:28.329
senior technician position available still in the Omaha Service Center.
982
00:51:28.650 --> 00:51:30.409
We are looking to fill that position to round out
983
00:51:30.469 --> 00:51:35.449
our team
there. Senior technicians are essentially the assistant supervisors
984
00:51:35.489 --> 00:51:37.550
of the service center. We have a lead technician who
985
00:51:37.610 --> 00:51:39.989
is the supervisor of the service center. They set the schedule.
986
00:51:40.429 --> 00:51:43.219
They run the place. In Omaha, this is Kyle. And
987
00:51:43.260 --> 00:51:46.260
then Kyle has a senior technician that works under him
988
00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:49.800
as an assistant, essentially, helping round out that team. So
989
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:52.340
we want to make sure that we get somebody for
990
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:55.510
that position in. This is a position that requires advanced
991
00:51:55.550 --> 00:51:58.670
technical knowledge. You've got to know your computers. This is
992
00:51:58.690 --> 00:52:03.690
a position that is higher paid than a junior technician position, obviously.
993
00:52:03.710 --> 00:52:06.210
It has a little more responsibility, obviously, a little bit
994
00:52:06.250 --> 00:52:09.949
of training for the junior guys that come in. Senior
995
00:52:09.969 --> 00:52:13.170
technicians are very difficult to hire. We usually have to
996
00:52:13.210 --> 00:52:15.610
make them internally. We have to build them because it's
997
00:52:15.630 --> 00:52:18.369
a very specific blend of skills that you don't usually find.
998
00:52:18.710 --> 00:52:22.550
You don't find techs that can replace hardware and manage people.
999
00:52:23.500 --> 00:52:25.460
Usually you can find people who manage people who don't
1000
00:52:25.500 --> 00:52:27.909
know anything about technology or people who are really good
1001
00:52:27.929 --> 00:52:30.690
at swapping sticks of RAM and hard drives that don't
1002
00:52:30.710 --> 00:52:33.409
want to work in a data center anymore. Those are
1003
00:52:33.429 --> 00:52:35.960
the two choices. So to get that right blend is
1004
00:52:36.019 --> 00:52:40.340
a very unique blend of people. And so we're working
1005
00:52:40.380 --> 00:52:42.559
hard to find that person for the Omaha Service Center
1006
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:44.679
or we'll build one, but. If we can find one,
1007
00:52:44.699 --> 00:52:46.320
this might be your opportunity to get on a great
1008
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:48.000
career path at Schrock that can lead you to all
1009
00:52:48.039 --> 00:52:51.260
kinds of places. We need to draw a winner of
1010
00:52:51.699 --> 00:52:56.170
the $ 25 Schrock Innovations gift certificate. This is a tough
1011
00:52:56.250 --> 00:53:04.599
one today. We had one caller on the program today. Roseanne, congratulations.
1012
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:07.460
I had to draw your name. I'll block your phone number.
1013
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:12.199
I had to draw your name out of a hat. Roseanne,
1014
00:53:12.420 --> 00:53:14.099
we'll get a hold of you on Monday to get
1015
00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:16.809
that $ 25 into your Schrock account. Thank you for calling
1016
00:53:16.849 --> 00:53:18.590
us and taking the time to let us know that
1017
00:53:18.610 --> 00:53:20.710
the Papillion team did such a great job. We really
1018
00:53:20.750 --> 00:53:25.170

00:53:26.909 --> 00:53:28.880

and we appreciate your support in the service centers. So
1022
00:53:32.699 --> 00:53:36.340
when you have trouble with your computer, four locations to
1023
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:40.110
go to, Lincoln, Omaha, Papillion, Des Moines, We're here to

00:53:40.150 --> 00:53:43.039
