Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to

0:05

keep you up to date with all things digital

0:07

and beyond. And I'd love to have

0:09

you be a part of our podcast. You can make

0:11

an appointment to speak with me. Just

0:13

head over to commando.com and on the top right, there's

0:15

a button that says email Kim fill that out and

0:17

that's it. So when I heard

0:20

of rucking, I thought to myself, this

0:22

is something that I definitely should

0:24

try rucking. All right. I sounded

0:27

adult and dirty, but now you're going to try

0:29

it on the podcast. I think we're safe. Well,

0:31

you never know. Okay. Last week. Exactly.

0:35

It was really bad. Rucking

0:38

is when you climb camelback and

0:41

you put a backpack on and

0:43

you load it up with, say, 40 pounds

0:45

of weights so that

0:47

this way you can burn more calories and

0:49

get stronger. And you're going to do this? Oh,

0:52

I don't know if I'm going to do it up camelback.

0:54

No, we're going to start. We're going to start on flat land.

0:58

That's true. You get the same benefit. I have a

1:00

weight vest and I've done that. You walk around the house a couple of

1:02

times. Yeah. So anyway, it's a big,

1:04

it's a big deal in Silicon Valley. Okay. So

1:06

they say that all these like Mark Zuckerberg's of the world that

1:08

this is what the billionaires are now doing rucking, rucking.

1:11

So now this is a term that you can

1:13

use. That's just putting a rock in a backpack.

1:15

Exactly. And I'm sure they buy specialty rocks that

1:17

were calibrated. Oh, these are fancy backpacks. Yeah.

1:20

The biggest brand. It's like a $200. It

1:23

can't just be a backtrack. It's full of gravel

1:25

from your driveway. I think

1:27

it should be honestly rucking, rucking.

1:29

See this is like, these are things that I

1:32

like to pass along so that you know, you can,

1:34

you can have like high value clout when

1:36

you're with your family members and friends, especially around Thanksgiving.

1:38

You can look at everybody and say, you know,

1:40

thank you Lord for this meal. Has

1:42

anybody tried rucking? That's a great prayer.

1:45

Amen. Amen. And

1:48

on that happy note, welcome. It's Kim Kabbat

1:50

2:54

tell us your thoughts tell us what you think

2:58

and your posts and things like that and you head over

3:00

to commando comm there's a link that says email Kim All

3:03

right, so we're gonna start with the news And

3:06

I was reading the Wall Street Journalist past week

3:08

doesn't make you feel smart. Oh, yeah Yes,

3:11

you don't have to do it. Just say you're doing

3:13

if you write a headline say that yeah Or you

3:15

know or I was out over at the MIT Review.

3:17

Oh Yeah, tell me

3:20

more The Wall Street Journal

3:22

that had a headline that that there's a new term not

3:24

just wrecking. There's a new term out there And

3:26

it's for people that never really update

3:28

their devices. They're called the never updaters

3:33

I don't know And

3:37

they did a whole story about people in

3:39

their 20s that don't want to update their

3:41

phones Why because

3:43

they don't want all the latest

3:45

features. Oh my they maybe

3:48

They don't have enough storage space

3:50

Okay, and so but there's a

3:53

good reason one reason why I'm bringing it up

3:55

Is that if you are listening you are a

3:57

never updater? That's just dumb. Yeah. Okay. All right

4:00

Okay, you want to update all your

4:02

devices you pulled them in oh, that's

4:04

me and then you insulted them by

4:06

calling them Pay attention

4:08

cuz you're dumb No,

4:11

I thought I would have guessed that it's people

4:13

are worried because they don't trust the big phone

4:15

companies And they think once Apple updates my phone.

4:17

They're gonna put it in there. It's gonna ruin

4:19

the battery It's gonna make it slower. So I

4:22

have to buy a new one. That's

4:24

not why people don't know. No, no, they

4:26

have outdated hardware They

4:29

maybe their battery levels too low Yeah,

4:32

whatever it may be that you don't get

4:34

this update. But again, this is a new

4:36

term. Okay, the never updaters Okay, okay. So

4:38

we have Millennials Gen Zers the boomers the

4:41

X Never updater

4:43

never updaters or dumb You

4:47

know Barry asked me the other day Why

4:50

can't we say the r-word anymore Wow

4:52

Wow? Whoa And

4:55

your answer was don't You

5:00

know, there was a guy on his name

5:02

is Chris Persard and he's a

5:04

sport caster And he just almost got canceled this week

5:06

for using the artwork. Oh, he is a kid. No

5:10

Why would ya there's so many other words right?

5:12

Don't better words. Well, he's not an updater He

5:15

was just as me cuz he's like when he was a kid, you

5:17

know in the 1920s, right? He

5:20

also when he was a kid had a wheel that he

5:22

would hit with the stick and push it down the road

5:24

as a game Oh, no, he felt that's that When

5:28

he gets sick of the hand when he's done a ton

5:30

of handman He always gets so

5:32

mad at me like he'll say something like,

5:34

you know when I was a kid I'm

5:36

like did they have like

5:38

televisions then? Radio's

5:40

were there cars? For

5:43

you don't use the term when I was

5:46

a kid unless you want to be perceived

5:48

as super old Super old exactly exactly. I

5:50

was speaking of updates. Yes. Are you ready?

5:52

Was this a battery update? No, thank God

5:56

Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked to

5:58

update his laptop to Windows

6:00

10 and he said he couldn't do it because

6:02

I still love

6:04

Vista baby. The

6:08

only person who ever said that. The

6:14

voice can do an Arnold voice. I don't know if

6:16

I can do any. Do it. Come on. I'll be

6:18

back. I still love Vista baby. No,

6:20

it's not very good. But

6:22

I tried. That's what's important. Good job.

6:25

It means with a chop off. You

6:28

know, I'm going to give you a participation reward. Thank

6:30

you. You know, you get a little trophy with a

6:32

mic on it. I appreciate that. Thanks

6:34

for being here. I'll throw it in with my

6:36

rocks while I'm rucking. All right, so what

6:38

do you got for news? Google is

6:40

having all of us all work, whether

6:43

we like it or not, and they're not paying us. I'm

6:45

sure all of us have gone to a

6:47

website where when you're trying to get past

6:50

the next step, whether it's a paywall or

6:52

logging in, you want to make sure you're

6:54

not a robot. Re-capture. Very

6:56

good. Re-capture. And that

6:58

company is owned by Google. They bought it a couple of

7:00

years ago. And what

7:02

I noticed a while ago that it

7:05

was always numbers on the sides of

7:07

houses. Yes. Why? Why

7:09

is it? Why are they choosing this? And

7:11

then it changed. Everything changed. Then it went to intersections

7:14

and you had to spot the bus. And I don't

7:16

know why there's 37 buses in one intersection. You had

7:18

to spot the bus. And then it was like traffic

7:20

lights. Yes. Traffic lights.

7:22

Yeah. The lanes on the ground.

7:24

Well, that's all intentional because what they're doing is they're taking that

7:27

information and they're using it

7:29

in the Waymo vehicle to teach

7:31

the Waymos to know the difference

7:33

between the back of a Ford

7:35

Escalade and just regular asphalt. Whoa.

7:38

And we're doing all their work for free. I

7:41

know. Isn't that crazy? They wouldn't admit to it

7:43

until they kind of sort of kind of admitted

7:45

to it. Yeah. And

7:48

it's going around the internet like wildfire.

7:51

Wow. I thought I was... That is

7:53

really interesting though. Identifying bikes just to get into

7:55

a website. But really, no. I was

7:57

working. You're like, this guy, this programmer just likes bikes

7:59

for some reason. I'm reading. I just

8:01

love them. But the fact of the matter is

8:03

if we are going to get self-driving cars and they

8:05

have to learn the difference between a bike and

8:08

another car, well, go ahead and work for free. It's

8:11

in our best interest. Right. It's going

8:13

to save a couple of lives. Yeah. But seriously,

8:15

Google's sort of throws a couple of shekels. Have you

8:17

seen those recaptures where you have to, it's like

8:19

a little figure and it says point it in

8:22

the same direction? Have you gotten those ones? No,

8:24

I haven't gotten that one. I've gotten the puzzle piece. Yeah,

8:26

the puzzle piece. I get a lot. I

8:28

like those much better. I can't switch it to a

8:30

different kind, the audio or something. I never can line

8:32

it up correctly. Oh, I'm pretty good at those. I

8:34

don't know if it's something wrong with my phone or

8:36

what. I can't just get that. Yeah, I'm probably, I'm

8:38

probably one never updater. You're so dumb. Sorry,

8:41

Dom. You know,

8:43

it's okay, Andrew. We love you anyway. Appreciate it.

8:45

You know, speaking of, I don't know why this

8:48

just kind of came into my head, but

8:50

Mike James. Yeah. He's

8:52

listening to our podcast. Hi, Mike. And

8:55

he's in Vietnam right now. Yes.

8:59

And he's on the beach. In Vietnam? Well,

9:01

he went there from Thailand for a little,

9:03

a little vacation. Okay. Do you get

9:05

his text message videos? Yes. So,

9:08

Mike, if you're listening, I don't know

9:10

if you have this automated or not, but when you

9:12

send us the videos of all the pictures, it's

9:15

a bunch of really cool pictures and then a

9:17

bunch of personal ones at the end. So

9:20

I think you should edit those a

9:22

little bit better. You

9:24

know, I didn't look at the end. You don't watch till the end?

9:28

Sorry, Mike. I'm sorry. How

9:30

personal are we talking? Not scandalous

9:32

personal, but definitely not. Here's my

9:34

vacation photos, part of that group. Okay.

9:37

Let me tell you, I don't know if I could have done the last vacation, but

9:39

he did. Which one? The one getting going

9:41

from Thailand to Vietnam. Okay. Okay. So

9:44

first he gets on a

9:47

tanker carrier boat. Okay. Big

9:50

boat. A big boat. I mean, like, I'm not talking

9:52

like a cruise ship. No, a tanker. Yeah. I'm

9:54

talking about a spill thief. Yeah. No. I

9:57

Mean, there are cargo bins and everything else.

9:59

there are certain. Then. You

10:02

go down underneath. And. Then

10:04

there are. Bunk. Beds for

10:06

like eighty people. Oh.

10:08

And How long is this boat ride

10:10

overnight? Hero and so use are

10:12

sleeping like in bunk beds that are

10:14

metal and like a little. Tiny Matt

10:17

Rise. Like a water hostels and

10:19

10:21

10:23

you got to the next. To.

10:25

Snag know we have airplane stuff. It's mike.

10:28

Take the plane. I bet it was cheap.

10:30

But. Everything over there is cheap. And.

10:33

You like a millionaire of about. Here's the thing

10:35

that would you rather be on a boat or

10:37

a very cheap plane ride. Plane ride i

10:39

don't want to sleep with a the other people

10:41

and will his lamb as on things nearby city

10:43

I was on a was on a plane. To.

10:46

I mean so he went on the boat

10:48

when I'm a plane and on the services

10:50

and the for some reason they kept this

10:53

air Thailand plane like way at the end

10:55

of the runway. And so you

10:57

had to take a bus. Version

11:00

of planes, trains and automobiles going on

11:03

here Anyway, we digress. Thriller Bark and

11:05

we are playing makes videos or during

11:07

the temperament of show. Oh perfect gift

11:09

so if your community member you can

11:12

see all makes videos. saw that Eric's

11:14

when you Gotta. Chatty, Be

11:16

teeth! Love it! Yeah we're talking

11:18

about here this week. I now it

11:20

is Chat Gp T for Turbo.

11:22

pretty good name. When they

11:24

are both for turbo yes.

11:27

Out with mean Okay there are a

11:29

few changes, so before chassis be t

11:31

only new things up until September. Twenty

11:33

Twenty one. That's a long time ago.

11:36

So. Pretty outdated now and knows things

11:38

through April. Twenty Twenty three. So.

11:41

It's sadder it doesn't know about like

11:43

a new I phone knowing know Taylor

11:45

Swift and Travis Kelsey were dating. A

11:47

did not unless. Still doesn't

11:50

know the know now. it doesn't know now

11:52

it's so as not but a lot more you

11:54

know two more years of data which is good

11:56

i can take a lot more text into at

11:58

the father of like 300

12:00

book pages. So before you're pretty limited

12:02

in how much content you could feed it 400

12:05

characters at some point and then it got bigger Yeah,

12:07

now it is Twitter Sorry,

12:12

gosh Kim It's

12:14

better at following instructions which all of us

12:16

who've had that moment of like, please

12:18

listen to me really prefer So if you tell

12:21

it something like always give me my responses like

12:23

this now, it'll do it a lot better Which

12:25

is nice this is also really good for people

12:27

who might do things like use it for coding

12:29

or you know something really specific where you want

12:31

to make sure it's that format and One

12:35

of the biggest complaints there is a drop-down where

12:37

you can say this is how I want my

12:39

answer. So maybe I want To

12:42

do an image and so you're using dolly. Maybe

12:44

I just want text that's going

12:46

away and now it will Basically

12:48

based on your prompt. It'll give you the

12:50

exact kind of response So if you say

12:52

draw me a picture of Kim commando on

12:54

a bike, I With

12:56

her hair and ponytail. Okay, you'll get an image back. You

12:58

don't have to select that So it's a lot smarter now

13:00

you get access to those tools. Let me tell you it's

13:03

not that great You're

13:05

making it sound like this is the

13:07

most wonderful thing Since

13:09

mankind, you don't think Chuck. Oh, no,

13:11

I think it's great. But this new

13:14

update some it's it's either on or

13:16

off That's what I'm finding.

13:18

Mmm. And so like yesterday I had it

13:20

do I wanted to use An

13:22

emoji in the newsletter. So I said give me a

13:25

fitness emoji It drew me a fitness emoji words before

13:27

I just get like the little guys are working wait.

13:29

So today I thought you know, I'm gonna have it do a meme. Okay

13:33

That the mean was let me see.

13:36

I Have

13:38

fond memories of as

13:40

a child my father Rolling

13:42

me down the hill in a tire Those

13:46

were good years Get

13:48

it Yeah, the tire is

13:50

a good year. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So it tried

13:53

to do so it drew like this this Little

13:55

girl in a tire, but it was flat. Yeah, so

13:58

I had to tell it was vertical but still going

14:00

to flat. It could not get the words.

14:03

Oh no, language is still... Yeah, letters and

14:05

numbers and fingers. Oh, I was just gonna

14:07

say, the little girl had sevens. I kept

14:10

it. She had seven fingers. That's nice. But

14:12

it is impressive. Yeah, it's easier to use.

14:19

Yes, results may vary, right? Especially if you're doing

14:21

something with an image and a person. It's just

14:23

gonna be hard. It's not there yet. It's not

14:25

ready. I've been told that you're supposed to,

14:27

when you start, say, chat GPT, every time I give

14:29

you a prompt, please rank my prompts one to ten

14:32

on whether it's good for you or not. And so

14:34

you'll ask it a question, it will give you the

14:36

answer, and then it will rank it. That was a

14:38

two prompt. That was a nine prompt. Well, that's a

14:40

good idea. I didn't know that. Yeah, I'm gonna try

14:42

that. And then you can learn from yourself, basically, saying,

14:45

oh, if I do it this way, it likes that.

14:47

It thinks it's a nine. So I'm gonna keep doing

14:50

the prompts that way. See, and

14:52

I have it that... I

14:54

ask it to help me write the trivia. And

14:57

so it came up with this whole trivia question about,

14:59

in April of 2007, the

15:02

Guinness Book of World Records was

15:04

two guys in Venezuela doing

15:07

a Wi-Fi signal that

15:10

went 186 miles. And I'm

15:12

like, whoa, that's really something. I

15:14

mean, you know, we can't even get Wi-Fi, like, to

15:16

the back bedroom, you know? Well, it didn't

15:20

have all the facts correct. And it wasn't

15:22

186 miles. It was 236 miles. What's

15:27

even bigger? I know, but it's like,

15:29

so you can't really trust it. No, for things

15:32

like that, no. It's not reliable. But you should

15:34

try it. How are you using it? I

15:37

use it to shortcut things for me sometimes if

15:39

I have notes that are... maybe I've

15:41

got bullet points, and I might say, hey, turn this

15:43

into an email or turn this into, you know,

15:46

something we can post on the website, a blog post, whatever,

15:48

and then I clean it up. So it can expand things

15:50

for you. We can clean things up, too. It's

15:53

also good at summarizing. And Now you can put

15:55

in a link and say, hey, this, you know,

15:57

5,000-word article. Am

16:00

I to for me a one that's a really nice. When it

16:02

is very cool. Yeah, that's a good you for it's

16:04

I'm. Well. I've been

16:06

using it. Lately to write email.

16:09

Because I don't like to write long as she's

16:11

don't into I mean it. I just think it's

16:14

complete waste of time with a think you seem

16:16

on professional. If you don't read along emails you

16:18

just do a quick one. Like. Why

16:20

aren't you just running for emails and. I.

16:23

Would I like to write short emails?

16:25

But there are certain people around me

16:27

who like long email ochre in a

16:29

line. Cypriots? They want detailed explanations. And.

16:32

So I'll. Put. Their

19:55

email from like the head of some

19:57

friends and the email had fireworks going

19:59

off on the top of it while

20:01

I read it. I didn't know you could do that

20:03

in the mail. I just thought it was an active thing. It was so annoying. Okay,

20:07

so we shouldn't figure out how to do that. I don't know if

20:09

it was an Outlook thing, but I couldn't put in

20:11

the email and it's just psh, psh, psh. I'm

20:13

like, this is stupid. But

20:16

you're like, but thank you, Mr. President. Oh, yeah,

20:18

absolutely. Great job. You have an amazing

20:20

job on that email. We should circle back

20:22

and talk about that later. So, you

20:24

know, Barry and I, sometimes we have

20:26

these interesting conversations. I mean... Like,

20:29

why can't you use the R word anymore? Let's

20:31

not mention that one anymore. We're not going to mention

20:33

that one anymore. It's a small callback. That's

20:37

all. You know, so we

20:39

were sitting next to each other and Barry

20:41

said to me, you know, how many bars do you have?

20:44

And I said five. On his phone. I

20:47

had five bars. I said, how many bars do you

20:49

have? He said, I have one. You know, I swear,

20:51

he's always like Charlie Brown. I mean, he said, you

20:53

only have one bar. Well, that's what he said. Are

20:55

you Lucy with the football? I totally am. You are.

20:58

And so he's like, well, maybe it's

21:00

my phone. You know, you gave me

21:02

your old phone. Oh, my gosh. It's the same

21:05

phone. You know, and this is it. You

21:07

broke it. And, you know, and it never worked. No

21:09

thing in tech ever works for me. And that's really

21:12

kind of a weird thing because a lot of times

21:14

it just doesn't. And mine's like, oh, everything's great in

21:16

my world. But you had no idea why you had

21:18

one bar and you had five. So

21:20

I said, let's try a field test.

21:23

Oh. And he's like... You made him run out to

21:25

the middle of a field. Oh, yes. He's

21:28

still there. I was just looking for the football.

21:31

Field test mode. This is really something. This is like

21:33

only insider people know about. Do

21:36

you know about field test mode? No, I'm not. No,

21:38

I'm not. No, I'm not. Did you open up your

21:40

phone? And you dial star

21:42

3001 pound 12345 pound star. Zero

21:50

percent chance I will ever remember that. Lucky

21:53

for you. If you go to commander.com and search field

21:55

test, you'll find that code. Copy and paste, baby. And

21:57

Then what you do is you look under like... Signal

22:01

power received were a special

22:03

screamed absolutely. Ah yes, like a

22:05

secret screen. Okay, but it feels like

22:07

you're like in the settings. You really are

22:09

and set against like in a like it's like

22:11

you are that guy or gal. That

22:13

Murray's The Mit Review. I. Mean

22:15

surface of freedom of course I feel

22:18

tested this we don't know bridge do

22:20

and. As then you look at

22:22

numbers. And that the closer that number

22:24

is to zero. The. Better

22:26

of the signal this okay that's so

22:28

I did Like isn't burner sitting right

22:31

next to each other out a way.

22:33

We both have briars and on these

22:35

phones. And.

22:37

Of course A my pops up

22:39

in it's like zero of business

22:41

processes was zero. It's a perfect

22:44

signal, gets buried, pops up and

22:46

it's like negative one hundred. Rush

22:49

Limbaugh sums up. Why do given such a crappy

22:51

phone assess I think assassinate the assists the hosts

22:53

the bases in that way. But what it is

22:55

I just them and I turned off his phone.

22:58

I would then be a power to back on

23:00

and then he was closer. Zero. So bottom line

23:02

here is that the Federal happens to you. You.

23:05

Should try the field test my I mean

23:07

this is something again. In be

23:09

rounder abroad is over the holidays. And

23:11

then you can just look and say hey, You

23:14

23:21

23:25

words And case hundred for our heads.

travel yet so that's when you get.

27:59

Free. This is another fun fact that

28:01

you would not have known. You

28:03

would have been buying luggage today. I

28:06

don't know. I haven't bought luggage in 20 years. You

28:08

know what? When you're saying... I was just thinking that.

28:10

When was the last time I actually bought luggage? Mine

28:12

is the same ones, over and over. My thought was,

28:14

when do you know when it's time to buy? I

28:17

have a hard shell suitcase. So

28:19

it literally could last forever. But everybody

28:22

says, well, it adds so much weight. Now that they

28:24

charge you for being over 50 pounds, you

28:27

want to have a lightweight bag. I

28:29

guess I'll just put one less shirt in there. Yeah. Are you ever

28:31

almost at the limit? Oh, always. Oh, are

28:34

you? I have two children that bring the

28:36

entire playroom. Right, right, right. I'm

28:38

at 49.8 pounds every single time I travel. Do

28:40

you have one of those little scale things?

28:42

Yeah, those are cool. Those little hooks that you... Yeah. You know

28:44

what I'm talking about, but... We just have that in the

28:46

newsletter. Oh, you did? Okay. Yeah, those things are really cool. I

28:49

always laugh, though, when you're standing there and

28:52

the Galar guy behind the ticket owner says,

28:55

it's, you know, you're at 52.2 pounds. Okay.

28:58

And then they say, take some out and

29:00

put it in your carry-on. Yeah. Okay. I'm

29:02

like, but it's still going. It's the same

29:05

stuff. Same weight. Yeah. Okay. They're going to

29:07

follow the rules. All right. Coming up, we're

29:09

going to talk about Air B&B. I got a crazy story about that.

29:12

Allie, you have some keyboard shortcuts. I sure do. And

29:14

then I have a great song that we're

29:16

going to play. And no, it's not me

29:18

singing. Maybe next time... Is it throat singing?

29:21

No, we just did that letter. Oh, yeah.

29:24

That's a lot of fun. Oh. All

29:36

right. So this is Kim Commando today. Where we get

29:38

29:40

five-star review. We're still looking for The Sims. Are we

29:42

29:46

30:01

it say like three or four reviews? Oh,

30:03

Kevin. Yeah. And then also there's

30:05

a community member. Screen

30:08

name is like Lutfisk. Yeah. Yeah.

30:10

Okay. Lutfisk? Yes. The

30:13

northern United States fish. Yeah.

30:15

Fish made with lye. Yes, that's it. That's

30:18

30:20

person they're going to win too. So if you're listening,

30:22

we're going to reach out to you and then we'll

30:24

pick like three other simpers. Yeah. Yeah. Is there a

30:26

simper? I don't think it's a simper. You're

30:28

just a simp. Okay. You can't be

30:30

a simper because you're a simp. I think

30:32

you can be the simpy. You can be the simpiest.

30:37

You can be the simpiest. Okay.

30:39

Airbnb. Nightmare or

30:42

great place? Both. Yeah.

30:45

It's a toss up because sometimes you go in and

30:47

you go, wow, this is great. I can't believe I

30:49

got it for so cheap. And then you go, oh,

30:51

I know I got this for so cheap. Exactly.

30:54

Luis Lopez, he was just trying to get his

30:56

place ready for the next guest. And

30:59

so he's like walking around, you know, kind of

31:01

surveying the place. He's got his vacuum out and

31:03

things like that. And then he

31:05

goes to vacuum under the bed and

31:07

the vacuum just wouldn't go under

31:09

the bed. There

31:11

was a person underneath the bed. Were

31:15

they hiding or just passed out? I

31:17

think a little bit of both. Okay. Okay. So he told

31:19

the guy to get out. Guy

31:21

didn't get out. So he had to call the cops. Actually

31:24

get him out from under the bed. Did they finally

31:26

get him out? Not like they had lady that's still

31:29

squatting in that house. Oh, no, she's gone. She got out?

31:31

No, she is. Yeah. 573 days. Finally, they did the right

31:33

thing. Yes.

31:37

This is this in case you don't know, this is a

31:39

woman who was just kind of camped out at a Brentwood

31:41

LA guest house. And because

31:43

of the rules in LA and the rental

31:45

property regulations and things, she could just stay

31:47

there for free. They finally got rid of

31:49

her though. Good for them. Yeah. 500. You

31:55

know what? I would have been so pissed.

31:57

Government in action. Oh, I would have been

31:59

so upset. I saw another lady. There's a couple. They

32:01

have a one-year-old. They rented out a room for a

32:03

week and the lady won't leave. She's

32:05

just sitting there for months. Where's that? It's I

32:08

think it's in Tennessee. I can't

32:10

imagine being that person. Like knowing that

32:12

you're in someone's house, they don't want you there. And

32:14

you don't care. And you don't care. You just don't

32:16

care. Imagine not caring. I can't.

32:19

I care too much. I care too

32:21

much. Oh, yes, kumbaya. Okay, let's go

32:23

to letters from listener mail. I have

32:25

one from William Howard in Florida. Okay.

32:29

He says, I have my own solution

32:31

for a speaker device, Kim. I'm the

32:33

tech guy in the house. I

32:36

set my Amazon Echo device microphone to off.

32:38

And then I install the Amazon Alexa app

32:40

on our phones and tablets. This way we

32:43

can fire up the app and make our

32:45

request and then shut them down. This

32:47

way Amazon's not listening. Oh, okay.

32:49

That's pretty cool. I'm going to pull it out

32:51

every time. I know. I would just, I don't

32:53

know if that's worth it. No, that's the convenience.

32:57

Okay, let's see. Mary Campews in Lewisburg,

32:59

Ohio. Hi there, Mary. I thought this

33:01

was great. She saw this in the

33:04

newsletter. I saw the Best Buy pressure

33:06

cooker recall in your newsletter. Mine is

33:08

under an extended warranty until February 2024.

33:10

Not a word from Best Buy, not

33:12

even an email. I'm now registered for

33:14

replacement parts. See, that's one of the

33:16

benefits of getting the newsletter. Tell you

33:18

about all these recalls. Not Andrew. His

33:20

pressure cooker is going to explode in his face.

33:22

It's going to kill me. But Leah Marie in

33:24

Wooster, Ohio. Okay. Leah

33:27

writes, hi, Kim. Just a comment.

33:30

I can no longer eat

33:32

coleslaw. I was

33:34

in the middle of eating it when

33:36

he told the story of the Door

33:39

Dash delivery man who spoiled a customer's

33:41

lunch with his deranged sexual act. Spoiled?

33:44

That's a great sentence. It is. Poetry?

33:49

It's a little deliberate, I guess. I

33:51

was in the middle of eating my

33:54

coleslaw when he told the story of

33:56

the Door Dash delivery man who spoiled

33:58

a customer's lunch with his deranged customer's

34:00

lunch with his deranged sexual

34:02

act. Beautiful.

34:05

Okay, I gagged and

34:08

threw the rest of

34:10

my creamy coleslaw. Yeah,

34:13

she got away with it. She was

34:15

eating like beef jerky or something. My

34:17

creamy coleslaw was just a

34:20

bad coincidence. Too close.

34:23

Even though I made the coleslaw

34:25

myself, she still didn't trust it.

34:27

I know. She was triggered. I'm

34:31

a fairly new listener and I've

34:33

been learning and enjoying. Thank you for all you

34:36

and the team do for all of us. I

34:38

love Leah. Thanks for writing Leah. That's great. I

34:40

like Leah too. Allie,

34:42

what do you got? Okay, this is from Alan

34:44

Rosenberg. Alan has been listening to you Kim

34:46

for 30 years. Is

34:49

that possible? No, but that's okay. Maybe he

34:52

just was sitting in your backyard for the years

34:54

before you started doing a radio show. Peep

34:56

and Tom. So he listens to Kim Pranter

34:58

today. This past weekend, you had a woman

35:00

call in with a problem logging in with

35:02

her fingerprint. I have a Pixel 7 and

35:04

the fingerprint reader sucks. This is a common

35:06

complaint with Pixel phones. Yes,

35:09

he says it's supposed to be the flagship phone.

35:11

The fingerprint reader is the worst of any phone

35:14

I have ever had. I read online that I

35:16

should touch the side of my nose and then

35:18

touch the fingerprint reader. It works beautifully. Something

35:21

with the oil on your nose. If

35:23

you have a way to contact the caller, let her know. Gross

35:27

but cool. You're supposed to pick your nose before you unlock

35:29

your phone? No, you get the inside of the oil.

35:31

You get a little bit of the natural oil

35:33

on your skin and it helps the

35:35

phone read your fingerprint a little better.

35:38

There are other ways. We actually got

35:40

a message from someone once who said

35:42

they discovered that if they licked their

35:44

finger and then touched the reader, it

35:46

worked. That's way grosser.

35:49

Your phone is filthy. We were

35:52

touching the phone second. How

35:55

many times do you unlock your phone? You go every time

35:57

you unlock your finger. Really? You wash your hands?

36:00

No, just the finger. Yeah, sure. Wash your finger.

36:02

That sounds like the tip too, where if you

36:04

can't get your, if your battery's dying on your

36:07

car remote, you put it to your chin and

36:09

click it, and your head becomes like

36:11

an antenna amplifier. I have never

36:13

heard that. It absolutely works. We tested it in

36:16

a parking lot. Like we were like six spots

36:18

away, the car works, seven spots away, the

36:20

car, the remote didn't work, and we put

36:22

it up to our chin, boom, unlock the

36:24

doors. Incredible. Wow. Your head's an

36:26

antenna. It's a greasy nosed antenna. You

36:28

know what? That's almost as good as like a field test.

36:31

So that's a great tip right there. It really is. If

36:33

you don't want to use your nose oil, a couple of

36:36

things that help. Now for the Pixel, yes, it is one

36:38

of the worst fingerprint readers. So maybe the oil is the

36:40

best solution. I don't know. Make

36:42

sure you clean it once in a while. Like just rub

36:44

your shirt or whatever on that little reader. The

36:47

angle of your finger matters. If you're just

36:49

like real quick, swipe in,

36:51

and it doesn't get your fingerprint, yeah, you have to

36:53

really push your finger onto it. And then worst case,

36:56

you can always go through your settings and

36:58

have it remap your fingerprint to make sure you get

37:00

all the angles. And usually it works a little better

37:02

after that. Wouldn't you just use your nose?

37:06

Forget bypass the finger altogether? Nose print. Yes. Because

37:08

it's already all greasy, I guess. Just go straight

37:10

to the nose. It might be that. It might

37:12

be that. Sure. All right. So Andrew, what's your

37:14

letter? Oh, well, first of all, I got a

37:16

letter that was sent to me by

37:18

Maddie. And I forgot to print

37:21

it. So I don't know who it's from. Right?

37:23

But I wanted to answer their question. They were

37:25

asking about football, and that I was wrong. They

37:27

told me I was wrong, that Prime is not

37:29

the only place to get Thursday night football. Oh,

37:32

I remember. Yeah, I sent this one in. You

37:34

sent that to me? OK. Yes. I mean, I

37:36

didn't write it. I read it, and then I

37:38

sent it to Maddie to give to you. OK.

37:40

However I got it. OK. I got it. And

37:42

they said that it wasn't true,

37:44

and you could sign up for NFL Plus Premium

37:47

and get all the Prime Time games, which you

37:49

can. They're not wrong. OK, directly through the NFL.

37:51

If you sign up for the NFL Plus Premium,

37:53

you get all Prime Time games, which

37:55

Thursday night, Sunday night, Monday night. You

37:57

get all of your local broadcast games.

38:00

So whatever on your local CBS and NBC they

38:02

get over the antenna. Here's the

38:04

problem only can get it on your phone

38:07

No kidding. You can't cast it to a

38:09

television I say you can't know and if

38:11

you have the premium membership and you get

38:13

the app that's on your television or your

38:16

Xbox or whatever They block

38:18

those features. They're not on the app

38:20

for the TV. It is only on

38:22

the phone or tablet That's so lame.

38:24

It was very one everybody. Let's watch

38:26

the game My

38:31

girlfriend she's getting into football and she was like, oh my

38:33

god I'm gonna get this and she paid for the

38:35

whole year Oh and then realized that you cannot get

38:38

you know How much it is 50 bucks a year

38:40

or $6.99 a month. That's lame It

38:45

is lame because it's only available on a tablet or

38:47

the phone So that's why I never recommended before but

38:49

you are right. There was another place to get Thursday

38:51

night football This one

38:54

is from Manford and Honolulu

38:56

Aloha to Andrew like him.

38:59

I love football My wife

39:01

hates football. I really should have married

39:03

someone else But now we

39:05

have six kids so it's too late for

39:07

that. My question is pretty simple Just

39:12

tell us everything okay Yeah,

39:15

my question is pretty simple. I have two

39:17

screens for the games in my garage Is

39:19

it worth adding a third screen Mahalo? Okay

39:22

before you answer it Yes, she

39:24

has delegated him or he has gotten himself

39:26

in the garage, right? But if you got

39:28

a second TV and he's away from the

39:30

six kids and the wife Try

39:32

to watch football with six kids crawling on you.

39:34

I have two and it's impossible The

39:37

way my setup is is that I and I think

39:40

I said this last week I have a main television like

39:42

everybody else and then I have a huge

39:44

painting on the wall and then Behind

39:46

the painting is a hidden television 75-inch

39:48

hidden TV So,

39:52

you know you have to unlock it and

39:54

then you How big is the main TV

39:56

the main to 75, okay, and they're five

39:58

feet apart So on sports nights

40:01

that NFL red zone will go up on

40:03

the main TV and then the Cardinals

40:06

game or the other local game will go up

40:08

on the secondary TV. I

40:10

couldn't personally wouldn't find a use for three

40:12

TVs. Like if I go to a

40:15

sports bar or a sports book in a casino, I

40:17

get just too much overload.

40:20

So two is enough for me to handle,

40:22

but if you do have YouTube and you

40:24

have the direct TV package where you get

40:26

all the games, I could see where three

40:29

TVs was going at my son's mom's house.

40:33

There's four boys that live there. They all play four night

40:35

at the same time. And in one room

40:37

they have four 65 inch television

40:39

on top of each other. And

40:41

I went in there to watch them play and

40:43

I couldn't do it. I could not handle all

40:46

of that at once. Yeah. That sounds like sensory

40:48

overload. I started to panic. I

40:50

personally think two is enough. You put one on red zone

40:52

and then one on the game that you're focusing on. But

40:55

you have to remember this man doesn't like his

40:57

wife or his children, his children, his life. So

40:59

this is, he's in that garage. Get yourself the

41:01

third TV man. It's a good point. We go

41:03

up to 14 TVs. Just

41:06

to feel something. Be surrounded

41:08

by them. But seriously, talk to your wife. Once.

41:12

Just one time. She's a nice lady. She

41:14

gave you six kids. That's a lot

41:17

of work. And

41:19

stop looking up your old exes online. Come

41:21

on. You know, he's doing it. Oh, of

41:24

course he is. Of course he is. Tell

41:26

him the world he hates his wife. No,

41:28

the grass isn't greener. No, never. Sometimes.

41:33

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. All right. Coming up, Allie, you're

41:38

going to be given out a whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts.

41:40

And then I have a wonderful song at the end.

41:43

I know you're all wishing that I could sing it. But I'm not.

41:52

42:46

I was getting my hair done okay

42:49

and when I get my hair

42:51

done this is it's a process sure I

42:53

mean it's not like 30 minutes

42:55

oh my gosh it takes forever I used

42:58

to joke that my wife getting her hair

43:00

done was a part time job it is

43:02

it took that long it takes forever like

43:04

three hours four hours ridiculous it is it's

43:06

ridiculous yes it is and so I'm sitting there I'm

43:08

thinking like what am I gonna do

43:11

and I'm like oh I'll open an Etsy shop

43:13

okay so so that

43:15

was like on a Saturday and on Monday I go

43:17

to Ali I'm like Ali look we don't have an

43:19

Etsy store go ahead and run it and

43:21

she's like what do you mean we have

43:24

an Etsy store like sense when I'm like I

43:26

was getting my hair done and I opened an Etsy

43:28

shop we have like

43:30

10 orders and everything's in there

43:32

like whether you want a hoodie you want a blanket whatever

43:34

maybe a tote and if there's one guy that bought

43:36

a t-shirt and he gave me

43:39

a two-star review what happened and

43:41

now I have a two-star review on the entire store so if

43:43

I want everybody to go by like just buy a mug he

43:46

didn't like the fit he didn't like the fit it

43:48

was a him problem yeah but I oh and then

43:50

I reached out to him I said if you want

43:52

to exchange the large for an extra large sure fatty

43:54

it's okay wonder why

43:57

you got how'd you get to start I'm

44:01

just teasing. I didn't say that. I was very

44:03

nice. So I would like everybody to buy just

44:05

buy a mug. It's the cheapest thing in the

44:07

store. $9.95 and then give us a great five-star

44:13

review. How old

44:15

was the... So this is brand new? Yeah, brand new.

44:17

Oh, I thought this was like an old story from

44:19

back in the day. You just started this store. Just

44:21

started. Nice. Just

44:24

started. And there's like little AirPod case covers.

44:26

Those are the big sellers. Okay. $9.95.

44:29

Let me tell you, I'm not making a

44:31

lot of money on this. No. Not

44:33

at all. But you are hand-making all of these items.

44:35

Yes, she is. Exactly. In

44:38

the back room. She's so tired. Cranking

44:40

them out. I can be my 3D

44:42

printer. You're a 3D printer. You're doing

44:44

all of it. I am. It's like

44:46

the rest of everybody on Etsy selling

44:48

homemade things. Oh, yeah. They're all homemade.

44:51

All right. Keyboard shortcuts. And this was kind

44:53

of cool. Tell the story about Charles. Well,

44:55

first, I'm really on a heater with these sexy

44:58

topics. Last week we had the cords,

45:00

the cables, this week keyboard shortcuts. But

45:02

no, this came up in a meeting

45:04

because our programmer, Charles, our developer, he

45:07

is a super smart guy.

45:09

Yes. Incredibly tech savvy,

45:11

right? Probably more than lots of

45:14

us. And he said, I

45:16

learned a keyboard shortcut from the current newsletter

45:18

that I use every day now. Okay. And

45:20

when he says that, everybody's looking at him like going, whoa.

45:23

I guessed out loud. I was thrilled to

45:26

hear that. Was it control C? He's

45:31

not that good.

45:34

No. It was actually to open up the snipping tool

45:37

on a Windows computer. You don't have to go through

45:39

the menu. You don't have to do a bunch of

45:41

stuff. And I'll give that one in just

45:43

a second. But I was looking it up. There was one

45:45

study that said, if you use the

45:47

basic keyboard shortcuts, you will save eight

45:49

days a year if you

45:52

spend your time working at a computer, right? So

45:54

these things actually work. You don't have to go

45:56

through all the silly menus. So for this one,

45:58

the Charles was talking about is Windows plus Shift

46:00

plus S and that opens up a little tool

46:02

that you can snip whatever is on your screen.

46:04

It's kind of like on a Mac, what that

46:06

one is, shift command and then four and

46:09

you just drag all the time. Oh my gosh. Every

46:11

multiple times every day. I just learned that

46:13

one last week when we get the newsletter. Oh

46:16

my gosh, who told you? Should

46:18

we find... You're so leading on us.

46:20

Someone in the office told me. They

46:22

probably get the newsletter. They probably do

46:25

because I was like, where's the thing

46:27

to do the thing and the thing

46:29

and they're like, just do windows, chef's

46:31

ass. I was like, oh, that's awesome.

46:33

Is that how they sound? Yeah. Nice. Okay.

46:38

There's some good ones if you're on a

46:40

Mac, one that I use all the time.

46:42

This actually works on Mac and Windows. Command

46:44

tab or control tab and that shifts

46:46

you through all of your open programs. So instead

46:48

of having to go into the dock or the

46:51

bar or whatever, you can just see everything you

46:53

have open. Do you use a

46:55

spotlight on your Mac a lot? Yes. I use

46:57

it constantly. You can find anything. Oh,

46:59

anything. So it's not just like on a Windows computer

47:01

that has truly the worst search functionality

47:04

in the world. On a Mac, it's really great. So

47:06

if you just hit command and then the space bar,

47:08

you get this little thing that pops up. You can

47:10

type anything in there. You could type in a math

47:12

problem and it will solve it for you. Yeah.

47:15

I mean, you can type in like looking for like an email.

47:17

Yeah. Just a couple of

47:19

words. Just it'll find anything. Yeah. It's incredible.

47:21

That's probably I do most of my work

47:23

on a Windows PC. That's my kind of

47:25

main computer. I have a MacBook. That's the

47:27

one thing that makes me keep my Mac

47:29

because I love it so much. You know

47:31

how many times I've used a Mac? How many? One

47:33

time. One time. Why? It was here. Kim

47:36

was going to do something and she's like, go on my

47:39

computer and open a browser. How can you do this thing

47:41

for me? I had no idea. I didn't

47:43

know where to go. Whoa. There was a

47:45

wheel happening. I had no, I've never, that's

47:47

the only time I've ever used a Mac

47:49

in my entire life. What's this like rainbow

47:51

ball going around? It just opened Safari. I'm

47:54

like, I don't even know how to find

47:56

Safari. What is it? Okay. And then one

47:58

more YouTube. There are lots of. good shortcuts.

48:00

You probably know this. If you don't, you're gonna say,

48:02

Ali, how did I get this far? Press

48:04

the space bar to play and pause

48:06

your videos. I thought it was K. I use

48:08

K. K works too. Okay. Yeah. K or space.

48:11

Both of those work. This is

48:13

really cool. If you want to start a video

48:15

from the beginning, hit zero, like the number zero,

48:17

and it takes you all the way back to

48:19

the beginning. You can also hit any number and

48:21

it takes you to that percentage. So if you

48:24

hit the two, you're gonna go to 20% through

48:26

the video. So if you're like, okay, I

48:29

understand that you're putting a lot of work

48:31

into this dresser. I just want to see the

48:33

end result woodworker. Okay. Hit eight, nine.

48:35

Yeah. And you'll go right to the end.

48:37

Cool. Yeah. Well, Barry's gone

48:39

down this rabbit hole on YouTube. Oh

48:42

boy. Where he's watching

48:45

Korean street food videos. Oh, like

48:47

the ice cream guy puts the ice

48:49

cream out and then pulls it away.

48:51

That one. No, like, like, like, like,

48:55

um, dim sum and

48:57

like, like doughy things. And

48:59

I mean, I finally, I

49:01

say, you know what? I don't want to see anymore. I mean,

49:04

I don't mean to be mean, but I've seen three of

49:06

them. This is not something I ever say, but in

49:08

Barry's defense, um, those videos are actually

49:10

pretty cool. Well, he's like amazed. Yeah. He's like,

49:12

look at everything that they can do on

49:14

that one grill. And I'm like, yeah,

49:17

I know. I got a grill. I

49:19

once watched a very long video of like a

49:21

Japanese noodle cart, like their whole

49:23

business day. And it was just like, you

49:26

get into it. Let's see if we can get

49:28

Barry into mukbang videos. You know

49:30

what those are? Uh-uh. That's people

49:33

who take food, enormous amounts of

49:35

food, like 70 bags of Doritos

49:37

and then eat them on camera.

49:40

It's disgusting. That's gross. Noodles is the

49:42

worst. Oh, people just do like 40

49:44

pounds of

49:46

noodles and they're just filthy a mess. Oh,

49:48

they get millions of views. Oh, it's disgusting.

49:50

It's like, I always wondered like the guy

49:52

who always wins like the Coney Island Nathan

49:54

hot dog and he, he just, Joey chestnut.

49:57

Yeah. But you'd think like. He

50:00

would be a big guy, but he's no no no

50:02

no fit and no one can even come close to

50:04

him no Incredible

50:06

machine okay, so AI is

50:08

all over No,

50:10

no It's

50:13

all over everywhere. Oh, that's what I

50:15

meant So I heard a

50:17

song and I thought wow this

50:19

is really something okay now the

50:21

person who's singing the song He

50:24

was born in 1932 And

50:27

he died in 2003 And

50:31

now he's back Hmm,

50:33

this is a little more advanced

50:35

than AI okay, so resurrection Let's

50:39

see let's let's just take a listen hello.

50:41

I'm not Johnny Cash So

50:44

it's gonna be forever Or

50:47

it's gonna go down in flames you

50:49

can tell me when it's over If

50:53

the high was worth the pain

50:55

got a long list of lovers

50:58

They'll tell you I'm insane

51:00

cuz you know Okay,

51:04

so you get the whole gist of

51:06

it amazing Taylor Swift song so that's

51:08

Johnny Cash singing Taylor Swift and actually

51:10

sounds way better Okay,

51:13

there's a YouTube channel that's called there I

51:15

ruined it okay Just

51:18

go there okay, and

51:20

he has all these songs that and these

51:22

are all AI All AI songs and

51:25

he's got like I don't know a million followers or something like

51:27

that But it's really interesting to me that and it totally sounds

51:29

like Johnny Cash. Oh, it really does I don't know the name

51:31

of the website, but there's a website. It's expensive you have to

51:33

have a service Be

51:36

where you just need one minute of

51:38

audio one minute of clean

51:40

audio Enter it into the

51:42

AI and then they can produce any sounds

51:44

you'd never have to do your radio show

51:47

again Just put in a half

51:49

hour of Kim commando And

51:52

Not to do the show but to do the daily

51:54

tech updates okay, and so there

51:56

was one package where I had to read

51:58

like It was It was

52:01

so incredibly difficult. I had

52:03

to read like eight hours of Animal Planet scripts.

52:08

The cheetah went by the mouse

52:11

and got to the aardvark, you

52:13

know, and there was a panda

52:15

bear standing there. I mean, okay,

52:17

so then it came out and whatever it's a whatever he

52:19

typed in it was like and

52:21

then we went to break and thank

52:24

you for being here. Okay, so then

52:26

we went to a bigger company, Veritone.

52:28

This is what they're known for and

52:31

trained again. Their AI took like

52:34

three hours, maybe four hours and then plus we gave

52:36

them files from the show, files from podcasts. So I

52:38

felt like we'd be able to get something really good.

52:41

So we have

52:44

a really big affiliate, WTOP

52:46

in Washington DC. Okay, I

52:49

mean and it's the that's the

52:52

largest billing station in the entire

52:54

country. Right. Wow. So when I

52:56

got my eye done with

52:58

the transplant, I took a couple of days off obviously.

53:00

Oh dear. I know, right. And

53:03

so we used the AI to do the

53:05

daily tech updates and we

53:07

had three stations that wrote back and

53:10

said, is that cam or

53:13

is that AI? Oh really, they can

53:15

tell. Okay, and then there

53:17

was one day where we did the digital

53:19

life hack and that's on WTOP among other

53:21

stations. They won't hear it. They

53:24

totally know when it's

53:27

AI chem. That's interesting because I listen to

53:29

a radio show, it's on Sirius called Bennington

53:31

and they do a bit called AI or

53:33

the real guy where they'll take a celebrity,

53:35

play a quote from the real person or

53:38

and then play a quote from the AI

53:40

and the people that call us have to

53:42

call in. I never get them right. Really?

53:44

Yeah. They have so much audio from you

53:46

that they couldn't spit it out. Nope. Make

53:49

it sound realistic. Nope. We'll get there though.

53:52

But I'm surprised you couldn't figure it because you

53:54

are so... Yes, exactly. That you couldn't figure

53:56

that out. No, they fool me all the

53:59

time. Well, we

54:01

did fool Allie. Oh.

54:03

Because we sent Allie a file. Did

54:05

you remember that? We

54:07

sent you a file where it was like, Allie, this

54:09

is Kim. I am not happy with

54:12

your performance. You really thought it was her? Maybe.

54:15

Maybe I did. All right.

54:18

So on that happy note, tell one person

54:20

about the podcast and sign up for the

54:22

newsletter and thanks for being

54:25

here. We'll see you again next time.
