"I heard one very interesting complaint about the watch from somebody that, I don't know, is it even out yet or is this person just one of those lucky people that gets a Samsung thing early? It came out on the 26th. So they would be a few days with it. Okay, they checked out the hiking maps. Samsung really needs to put a mode in there that locks the screen so your touch can't activate it. If you're out traipsing through the Woods because well, that's the water mode. But they said it didn't work. Wet leaves and little tree buds and stuff. What I don't know what they were hiking through would activate the screen and every time they look down, they had a timer running for some crazy reason. That's interesting. Yeah, 'cause my galaxy watch for classic. Like it's got a little, if you pull down the quick toggles, there's little water droplets. Yeah, if you turn that on, I've been in the pool with it or something like that, and it doesn't do anything, but that's interesting. Yeah, and just the other thing for fitness is just, it relies a lot on a touch screen. There are other fitness watches that have a touch screen, but they have more buttons or the buttons that are only for fitness. The back button will pause the workout, whereas on Samsung, it's not just for fitness, so it'll take you back to the main menu while your workout still running. And so if I want to pause it, I got to swipe with my sweaty fingertips. To find the pause menu and swipe around and yeah, it's just there's that and I've noticed when I was using sleep tracking occasionally that my pillow or whatever would activate it. So there's this bright light emanating from my watch and I don't know how to turn off the screen while I'm sleeping so I just shove it down so it's pointing into the bed and try to fall asleep. There are things like that that it's just a, it's a crowded watch, where OS has so many things you can do with it. So because of that, it's not, it can't be sort of specialized on fitness in some ways that it more limited watch could. And so yeah, sometimes a non touch boring limited watch is better for pros. So I wonder, okay, so I'm not gonna really talk about this review, but I just finished my Motorola edge 2022 review, right? And ignoring everything else I said about the phone, I feel like one of the things Motorola does really well is that they highlight features that will be useful to you. So when I adjusted the screen timeout, it popped up a little box and was like, hey, would you rather use, gosh, I forget the name of the future now, but it's the one where the front facing camera sees your eyes and it keeps the screen on. And there were a lot of scenarios like that where I would go to do something or I would mistakenly do something and it would pop up a suggestion and say, hey, this mode exists for this reason. Would you like to turn it on? So I kind of wonder if Samsung needs to start building that into these products more.

"Are the daily tech headlines for Thursday, August 11th, 2022. I'm rich strap alino. Xiaomi announced its second gen foldable, the mix fold two. It offers a 6.56 inch outer display, an unfolds to an 8.02 inch tablet, compared to the just announced Samsung galaxy fold four. It offers the same processor, bigger displays, and is 30% thinner when folded, although that doesn't account for a large like a branded camera bump. It's available for pre order now, shipping in China only on October 16th, starting at ¥8999, that's about 1335 U.S. dollars. Motorola announced its latest foldable, the Razer 2022. It drops the classic razor chin that harkened back to the original flip phone, instead going for an all screen design. The new razr includes 2022 flagship Android specs with a 144 hertz oled main display, a 25% bigger battery than the last razor and weighs 200 grams. It's available for pre order now in China starting at 5999 U one. That's about 890 U.S. dollars. No word on an international release. Metal will begin testing default end to end encryption on chats and messenger with select users. Messenger already offers end to end encryption through opt in secret conversations. They're just not on by default. The company also began testing secure storage for encrypted chats on Android and iOS, then you access save chat backups with a pin or generated code. It's targeting a full rollout sometime in 2023. Microsoft open-sourced the designs for most of its new emoji designs based on the Windows 11 fluent design language.

"And I think it would be nice to just get a few good inexpensive phones versus all these different ones. I think earlier this year, Motorola launched the moto G stylus 2022, that doesn't have 5G that's what I was talking about earlier. They launched the moto G stylus 5G 2022. When they could have just launched the same phone with just, you know, at the same time, with a 5G version non 5G version, these phones have two different chips. I don't know. There are lots schedule. Whatever they're doing is just so confusing. It's smart to feel like they're doing the most. For the absolute least. They're doing it the smart way because no matter when you want to buy a phone, there's always a new one by Motorola. That makes sense. Always look at a new phone before you'll look at a phone that's 6 months old. Fair enough. Yeah. Their carrier partner is probably aren't really happy about it, but. I will look at a good new phone. Motorola has just left a bat such a bad taste in my mouth and probably others as well, but I will look at another an older good phone before I look at a new Motorola phone. So I have to run the best phones under 300 best funds under 400, et cetera, et cetera, articles that we have, right? I update those every month, essentially. And I will tell you this that Motorola, no matter which of those guides we have, always has at least one spot on there because they have a phone at every single price point. And there is one price point that I feel like has very little competition. It's that $400 price point. It's almost like manufacturers have decided, I'm sure based on research that people either want to spend $200 or $600 on the phone. And there's really almost nothing in between there. So some of these new Motorola phones I've noticed are sitting at like three 50, 404 50. They're in that range, even Google's cheaper pixel series is no longer under 400 bucks or whatever that missing price point is there. Those have slowly crept up as well. And I think that's a lot of what we're missing too is we don't have a lot of phones that sit in this sort of like mid mid range price point. And I kind of wrote about that too, right? Where it was like, I think there was a reason for why that was the case because most people are either going for a cheaper phone or they're going for a premium device. And it's only in specific markets where a mid range phone really is, it makes sense. But yeah, I know it's a good point. I want to take a really quick break and I want to talk about something that might break a lot of people's hearts. So keep sticking around with us and we'll be right back in just.

"Old paradigm. I mean fair. There was the best laptop ever made, did this. The Motorola atrix. The Apple G three PowerBook pismo. Oh, where you could pull the keyboard right off? Oh yeah. This was a particularly weird era of Johnny. I have keyboards. We think that we lived through the butterfly era and that was really bad. But that's because all of you are just too young to have lived through that era where he was like, what if it was a tiny wafer of nothing? And you could also remove it completely, resulting in this springy his keyboard ever made. Also, it'll be slightly translucent. So it was like, it was like translucent brown. So when you pulled it off, you could do an airport card, you could do ram. Yeah, and you could do the processor. You could do the processor. So other world computing. Right, okay. So some other people did the process. Yeah, some other people made it. So you could switch it out. Because I had that laptop for like four or 5. I had for over ten years because I just replaced the old crummy G three with a slightly less crumby G three. And then a G four. And then the Internet started to exist in the computer diet. Did you have the moment of upgrading that laptop where starting it up every time was a little bit of an adventure? Yes. Because I had a G four tower and I upgraded all the ram and I swapped out the processor and the video card. And by the end, I'd be like, I can't turn off my computer. You just never restarted it. If it restarted, you were like, well, time to go buy a new lab. This might be it. You look at the jar of change. I hope that there's enough in there. So you have max. It does look exactly like a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, right? Yeah, and I think basically okay with that idea, like when I talk to nirav the founder of framework a while back, he was basically like, the industry has gotten a lot of things about laptops, right? Like we don't need to screw those things up while we try to also do this other thing, like let's just make a laptop that is nice and looks nice but also does these other things, which I a 100% think is the right approach. And then they change the top cover. Can you replace the top cover if you have the old one too? Yeah, so framework will actually sell you they call it an upgrade kit. And I think it's 580 bucks or something that is basically the new man board and the top cover. And the big knock on the first version was just that it felt kind of, I don't know, flaky. It just didn't feel like a particularly solid laptop, which is a possibility for something that is basically just a bunch of pieces screwed together. Like they didn't do any particularly impressive building. So to have it be a little more rigid, like it just took them time, but the idea is now they've, I don't know, done something to the process..

"Now, it might not have the latest and greatest features. So obviously you have folks that are huge fans of the highest highest end phone. They're going out to get the iPhone 13 pro max, or they're going to get this Galaxy S 22 ultra. Because they want the top top of the line. But if you go down the line, you can still get a pretty good phone for a pretty good price. And there are still lots of options out there that might not offer the latest features, the most up to date camera, the sharpest screen, or they might not run as fast as you would like. But if you're looking for something that does basics, you'll get the job done. So I break down some of these phones. You can go as low as under a $100. Blue, which is a smartphone maker. They make several Android models that are under a $100, including the blue vivo X 6, which is 84 95. According to Walmart's website, that particular model is sold out, but it has features like a 6.1 inch display. It has a 13 megapixel camera on the front and the back. And you can get up to 64 gig of storage. Again, if you just want a bare bones basic, I'm sending email or text. I'm checking the web. I'm taking pictures. That's all I needed for, that's probably basically because you can get. Of course, as you go up in price, you get some more features added in. Motorola had some solid phones as part of its moto G line. One example was the moto G pure, which is around one 40 and you get, again, you get a big screen, you get a 13 megapixel camera. You get storage. Motorola losses is the battery lasts up to two days. So if you're looking for something with just a little more beef in terms of charge, that's a good option. It also supports Android 11, which is fairly new. And it also has expandable storage. So if you want even more storage on there, you can add that as well. As you go up the line, again, the prices go higher, but also you get a little bit more in terms of the phone features. One plus is another good example. They have the Nord N 100, which is one 80, and it has a lot of really cool touches to it. It has the big screen. It has 64 gigs of storage, but you can expand it to go all the way up to two 56. If you really need more space, it's even got stuff like the face unlock, a fingerprint sensor, it's got a three camera system. So it's feeling like it's got a lot of those touches as the new phones only it's.

"What we've had three updates since it was released. You know, well, that's what I say. I haven't gotten this late last night. We'll talk about that in a bit. But relatively minor things, the phone always worked. It was just convenience things that were broken. They quickly got them patched. What if they hadn't? Three, four months from now, they still hadn't. What do you do then? You're not gonna get your money back. There's nothing you can do, except deal with it. Pretty much. Yep. And I mean, I guess the last thing I wanna say about Motorola is they are reportedly doubling their R and D money, which I don't really think that means anything for next year. But maybe 2023 we'll see some interesting stuff from them. So they're going to spend $6 instead of three. That's right. I don't know. I don't know. I hope I hope they double down hard. I want them to get back to where they used to be. Yeah. And it would be nice because I liked the idea of the moto Z, right? I mean, that one maybe didn't pan out for one reason or another. But if that was so cool. Yeah. What's the launch event that I still missed that phone? Yes, that's one of my favorite, I don't know, unique phones over the years. It was just, it was awesome. I loved the concept. They didn't really do a whole lot with the modular thing, but maybe they could do better next time, you know? And then, of course, like you said with the razor, everybody knows a razor. A lot of people want a razor. It just has to not suck. Yeah, the last Motorola phone I used was a moto Z play two. That was it was my phone for my day job. And once they finally upgraded me to what I have now, which is a Galaxy S ten the first thing I did is I got to keep the Z plate too. So I went and found some of the modules, the moto mods after they'd been out for three years. And now I've got a projector and a speaker and a little projector. We take us on the governor camping trips and we watch movies outside of our camper with the moto Z play two in the moto mod projector. I love it. Yeah, it's such a cool concept. I want to see them do that stuff again..

Didn't we all used for what a couple of months the way you said that. Mesalliance iphone gave birth to me you but you came from an iphone here. Consider it living without honestly i use an iphone. Three g was the first iphone that i used and i had zero allegiance or alliance to it that it's just been my life in the tech game. Since the very beginning it's been back and forth. I went from that phone to blackberry to one of the early galaxy s models. Back to another iphone back to back that before you to before anybody cared what. I was up to people. Barely care at this point. But you see what i'm saying you're will so god look how cheap that would wall on contract. Sign away your life one nine but still yeah definitely not what we're dealing with these days. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the design of the pixel being so different and the new iphone being so similar to the previous generation as well. It just feels more newness. And i haven't picks on a while but whatever either way. How much does it really matter which way you travel at this four narrowed. It doesn't why were you so surprised would drop in the waterfall. I wasn't i wasn't dramatic. Fact people are watching. This show are the i seventy eight. People are watching this show as they say motorola's over the airspace.

It's happening tuesday september fourteenth. All right so it's less than a week away. And i know some copies in the midst of this pandemic have been experimenting with different kinds of presentations than i know. Google had a hybrid one with some folks there. This one is this. Are we expecting some a virtual only pre canned type fair. Or you think the be any kind of wrinkles. Toss at us here. That's a great question because to be honest we don't know really but we do so last fall. Apples event was virtual only and predominantly over the past year. There's been one one exception where their events have been all virtual that means everything's either prerecorded or or filmed and edited and they're basically playing video as they announced these products. And the was the google. I o event where they had some of their developers in employees. That was like a a live broadcast but it wasn't kind of like our typical event. And actually i went to a motorola event for a much smaller muss well-known phone call the motorola edge and that was the first in-person press event for a piece of hardware. I believe in the world since the pandemic started. So it's interesting. I think a lot of its are hoping that this event might be in person. I think there's a thousand reasons. Why part of the biggest reasons cove it. And when we received word about the event we received a invitation and on the invitation said california streaming which could be a reprint of the fact that this is a virtual event that will be streaming.

The original folding razor back in two thousand nineteen Was just very poorly received for lack of a better word. It was just it got trashed so they decided with the five g. even though it was vastly improved to only give it to a few people to review That's why we don't have a motorola razor five g. review on the site because it came down to if we we have a budget per month that we need to spend on stuff right for for our for our writers if we need to review a phone that we don't have access to that budget goes towards buying it but when it came to a fifteen hundred dollar motorola phone that we thought would do the traffic to justify the fifteen hundred dollar expense.

We're not going to send it to a lot of people anyway. It's just an interesting decision. I don't it's not a bad thing right. It's motorola's prerogative to do that but you know it just. It's it says something about its belief in the product and they're shooting themselves in the foot though. Yeah because you you touched on one thing when a motorola phone first comes out. It's one of the best mid range phones you can buy right and those initial reviews would be very positive most of the time for their you know g powers and you know phones like this one that they're not reaching for higher aspirations like they did with the razor. We like motorola phones when they first come out for the most part six months later we might not like them as much but motorola not giving this phone to everybody at the briefing to take back in review and talk about how well it runs.

Might you have around how to create a massive category and technology innovation within an existing company like motorola at the time.

If you're deeply concerned about the consequences of failure you'd never take those risks of the first place that makes sense and and a society. Failure is not acceptable. When i joined motorola when the first things that i learned with what their founder had said as a fundamental principle that company and what he said was do not fear failure reach out and i took that seriously and i took all kinds of chances. I start on the research department and the things that i tried to do. Were what other people considered to be impossible or difficult or not practical or a million reasons why you should do something. You have to create an environment where people are comfortable taking a chance when they fail assuming that they're failures. Were not as obvious things when they fail. Do assume that they have learned something from them. Failure in your take advantage of that knowledge is instead of bashing people down in authoritarian society. Who don't do that to the.

"They used bts to do a custom music number to promote it it is all around the influence and social media market It has that flex position where you considered on a table and actually take pictures using that upright the selfie camp which we didn't talk about with the fold but believe both of them have the invisible selfie cams which is fascinating. I dunno. there's necessarily critical but it's a capability but just the fact that they spent time talking about how you can set this thing up to take pictures of your group and be in your group pictures. That's exactly what this thing is designed for. Is that that audience of people who want that social interaction. They are trying to generate content. They are content creators not editors and they are going through and just recording and it's a foam. It's designed to be seen which is ironic because it's the smallest phone of the group but it is definitely a phone to be seen and i can. I can absolutely believe that going out and that action of flipping that phone open. We'll get it noticed. I mean opening something like a book is one thing that looks almost kind of geeky but that that semi nostalgia of flipping that phone open than being able to do things with it. I think there's definitely an interest to it. They they talked about the customization of the colors and the visual design and the fact that there is a larger back screen on it so there is still a large number of things that you can do with the phone without even opening it which i found fascinating too. So yeah this is. This is the this is the tick tock instagram phone in my book. There's definitely a crowd that there will be no nostalgia because they won't remember the motorola razor It'll be lost on them. And that's okay. No nothing retro trout. Yes but it definitely made me think of that one. When i saw it i was like. Oh gosh that's the motorola razor in like today's version of it. And i also love that..

"You'll see a fair number of users. Saying i woke up one day opened it up and it just cracked like it appeared for all the world to be fatigue cracking. That happened in my full to a documented that on video And and that's concerning because samsung every time. I talked to samsung about this generation. They wanted to talk about their armor aluminum. Which is ten percent stronger frame on these things. And they wanted to talk about the p. t. layer but i think it took me several follow ups to get them to actually admit that the ultra thin glass was the same material and they didn't seem to want to talk about any other part of the display. So the i gotta say. It raises an alarm bell in my mind. I really hope that in seven or eight months. We're not starting to see the same cracking issue. But that's why Well that's why we some of us get long-term review units not me. That's why. I bought two today so we will see stay tuned. Say maybe the. Pet layer play into that in extra durability overtime. I hope so definitely hope. So i'd before we move onto the full trade. Just want to talk to. You are about these accessories so this is a very accessory heavy lineup for the flip three. We don't usually talk tons about accessories on the podcast. But i i think it's worth mentioning. Because they're they're sort of along with seven colors that you can get some of them are samsung dot com exclusive but there are seven colors to choose from with this generation. There's a lot of first party accessories a lot of fun cases and stuff and like holders and cases that have built in a pop sockets for all intensive purposes and. I think that is really something. Samsung is trying to get across. Here is at the zeh lifestyle product. And i think with the accessory line. They're doing a better job than motorola ever did. With the razor five g. yeah. I mean but first. Let's take a moment to talk about the fact that samsung is making the galaxies ziv flip three in seven colors like usually. We're lucky if we get four for a normal smartphone. Seventeen a bit much unless you are absolutely posited. This phone is going to sell in large numbers but Yeah the accessories have been interesting to look at. I love the one that has what looks like a seatbelt on the back of it because that's a There are two types of grips. There are ones that like the ringer in the ring grips in the pop sockets okay. I pushed put two fingers specifically here in that holds with with a wider. Strap like that. You can have it to be like okay. I have two fingers in our two fingers out. I can put all my fingers through it. Just whatever feels comfortable. It's a little bit. Yeah i didn't know that's what that was for. Thought the strap was. Just hang it from your bill to you. Can you stick fingers through it between the strap on the phone and the phone sticks to your hand. Okay yeah yeah. It was in the lifestyle pictures for the cases that they sent out that they had somebody showing that novices like. Oh yes i remember though. That's good so yeah because it's kind of like the phone group if you've used that before Monster makes a lot of cool stuff. I haven't used that grip now. Okay but yeah so. I like the strap one..

Yeah that's really going to bug me but republic wireless sent me one of their new motos. They they've had a long running relationship with motorola whose it was a great little phone and just like epic epic battery life So when the announcement hit it was kind of quiet. I guess there's going to be a bigger announcement. This is like an announcement to the announcement that still gave us all the details on the phone.

I think I'm still back at I phones off because they haven't seen the need to upgrade yet. I'm fine with what? I've got sure. I'd love a better camera. Sure, I'd love more memory, but at the same time, I'm just not in the mood to pay all that money. And from what I read, foldable phones, if you really want one, we're going to cost. Even may know. I understand the novelty of foldable phones. We yearn for the days when we had our little foldable startac. Phone was not a Motorola. It's been so long. I know I've got one around here somewhere but everybody loved the foldable phone because you could get it in your shirt pocket, in your purse, and you never had to worry about it. An iPhone as they get bigger tougher to put in the pants pocket. I'll be honest. I just put mine on the table, not too worried about it but a foldable phone I think I'll pass for now unless I'm forced to wage.

About data science and government agencies the importance of data drills how to leverage data for better disaster response But before it can you tell me a bit about your background in how you got into the data space yes I think the way. I would talk about how i got into the data science faces to sort of give you a sense of sort of my journey as a computer. Scientists undergraduate master's doctorate degrees in computer science and engineering. Until i really started off as a computer scientist and i was at engineered a motorola for long period of time and then i moved into academia Dr moved into. Academia narrowly focused on sort of bioinformatics domain at johns hopkins. And then from there. I moved into the federal government where i focused on tech and policy. And and really it was the larger concept of Technology all facets but Because it was a political appointees obama administration in newborn administration really focused on this relatively new concepts specifically for the federal government of big data and data a concepts and big data technology. And that's why. I really began to cut my teeth in data science face really thinking. About how big data can be used in the federal government space right so i spent a lot of time. Working with agencies on big data did concepts big data technologies investing in cloud computing on and so forth and then i got the opportunity of a lifetime to become the chief officer for the city of new york.

OnePlus 9 Pro Phone Review
"So there was some big Hardware news today. Maybe you heard of it. If you're fans of one plus then you probably saw that the company held a livestream this morning and then shortly after the embargoes lifted and reviews were aplenty the oneplus nine and the oneplus nine pro wrong article okay. Plus nine won't buzz nine pro on house this morning. That's does because i didn't put an article in there burks. Donald the worry about him Were announced this morning. You don't need to put an article in there. Because i have them there they are. That's right this right. Here is one plus nine in. I think they call it a matte. Black does a color. Although it's not very mad i was gonna ask. Does it have did you. Keep the protector on there. Because it looks real shiny to me is look mad at all. No it's not matt actually. It's very very shiny in fact both of these are very very shiny. So that's the nine and then a slightly larger nine pro like super glass. You know what i mean. It's like error basically But it's got a got a little kind of like haziness up the top that gets to completely cleared out the bottom but You know. I colors What's the other one is like a do. They call it an arctic green or something like that. I can't remember the name of the third color but it's kind of more similar to here. Hold on. I think i have a more similar to the oneplus. Eight pro this. I would call matt right like this is kind of like a hazy sort of not glassy reflective thing but just really disappointed by. I'm sorry i. I don't mean to be hard to please but i'm disappointed by the black and silver of it all like what is this is like some sort of ball where i'm like put on a fancy gown only wear like black or silver. Are i mean you still. You still have your color options. Vic the oneplus maper wave like whereas the vapor way. Where's the beautiful -til back sometimes. Save these things for later. You know how oneplus roles they come out with their colors in there and then a little bit later they come out with their special edition. Vapor waves now. They did last year. I'm just saying sometimes they do Bites What you will notice with the oneplus nine nine pro. If you look hard enough. And i don't know that i've got this on auto focus so i'm just gonna keep right here but Basically this little branding in the camera bump which says hostile blog. I saying that right And so basically oneplus has a has a partnership with hossa blonde. The camera company. That is a highly respected. Although we should definitely point out the fact that hasselblad was also the big camera partnership that motorola had for a moto. Maude that did not actually take very good pictures. So the question was once we started hearing kind of the news about oneplus and blah. Having a partnership. Is this a branding play. Or is the cameras hardware actually amazing here which is definitely the focus. That really seems to be the focus. This time around the oneplus eight year. You may remember at least eight pro. it it did well improving upping oneplus game when it came to the camera and it looks like with the nine. They're looking to do the same thing here. I've had these phones For about a week and a half now although. I've only really used the nine pro with any regularity. I haven't like lived with the oneplus nine Camera hardware is very similar between the two. But i've i've leaned into the camera on the nine pro. I'm actually doing a comparison for hands on tack. That will go live tomorrow between shots on the eight pro and shots on the nine pro to kinda show. You did one. Plus actually upgrade here But know feel free and show some shots. Hokey stay on this one for a second because this one kind of bothers me. This is the main rear facing camera. I don't know that anyone else would notice this. Because you don't know my daughter and my wife the way i do but their heads look stretched totally noticed that actually. It looks like your daughter's flat look like cardboard out to that. This was done with main camera. This was not the winding lens. I'm used to seeing that kind of tearing that smearing on wide angle shots. But not the main and i realized what it is because this was like within. The first couple of days of having the camera was like okay. What is that if all of my main shots are going to do. This is going to bug the heck out of me and realize what it is the main lens does not have optical image stabilization. And so if you are even moving your hand the slightest when you take these shots you end up with really Erotic images and that. I see that as a big bummer. Because it actually did kind of rear. Its ugly head to me multiple times. Where i thought i was still but it wasn't quite still enough then. I looked at the shot later. I was like okay. That's just a little too blurry for my liking. The actually end up getting better shots out of the uae than you do with the main But yeah i mean. I mean considering that it's a wide right so you get that wide effect but the i just enjoy the shots from the live more than i do the main and a lot of the shots that i took those very dark outsize store. That's that's frustrating. It out the person who uses that you know it's going to distort the images. They take that they want us to. I'm sorry usa. The angle has the optical image civilization. Yeah yeah the wide has optical image stabilization to my understanding. The main does not at main absolutely does not and yeah so i got arenas on on really yellow. Yeah maybe maybe fact. Check that for me. While i walk through a few these eligible here but yeah i know for a fact. The main does not. I'm pretty pretty confident. The why does. But i could be wrong That shot that you were just looking at that. Was low light. Low light in the back yard near dr not quite dark and it was fine like lobe light performance on some of my shots were were fine. Nothing like screaming amazing. You know what i mean. you know again low light. I don't know. I feel like that could be better right by. I don't know This those two shots are interesting because one is the rear. This is the front facing and it shows you the differences in color balanced detection between the two cameras There's just i don't know like a time and time again as i'm kind of going through and taking pictures and comparing and everything it's like the images like i'm really curious to compare between the eight pro and the nine pro because i haven't actually done the side by sides yet for tomorrow's review. I'm doing that After the show actually. But i'm really interested to compare. Because like i'm kind of guessing guessing without comparing at this point that images are relatively similar between the two and if so then what is the hasselblad partnership actually mean

The inventor of the cellphone on whether Big Tech represents the new AT&T monopoly
"The final segment of her. Four interview with martin cooper inventor the cell phone and this is your daily charge in your book multiple. You've contrasted the the hubris of eighteen monopoly over motorola's more consumer centric approach I'm curious as we're looking at. At some of the scrutiny. That big tech is facing today if you see. Examples of that hubris in some of the giants said that are facing scrutiny. Whether it's google or apple or facebook amazon do you see more. At and t. Or more motorola because there is all of them. Talk about you know serving the Consumer meaning consumers needs. But i'm curious what your perspective is on what you think they are or how they how their analysis to while i do We do have a problem because google amazon and facebook. They start to look like monopolies in in their narrow area point out to these are all very news named. we haven't really learned how to manage. These kinds of saying good of the problem starts out with the people. People think that they're getting something for nothing though. They provide all their personal information to google or amazon or facebook or other social media and they think that they're getting value of because they get free something while. I got news for you as you get anything. Nothing some are other. We have to educate people to have them stand that their information their personal data has now you and they shouldn't be give it away sir. Nothing they should be somehow or other there has to be equity and when we start getting people to understand that they're going to be competitive offering won't steal your observations your relationship ways. You're unaware of saw the same thing that happened to us in. Nineteen eighty-three when they split of the bell system. Some are other competitive. Influences are gonna fix nap before that. I'm a dreamer. I would optimus. I think did of people change. People make these demands and say. I don't want your free snow. I i want control my own information. There will be people come along. That will say i could do that. I can charge you for by services. And i can pay you for your derision. I think that's the solution to the google facebook problem and possibly for the amazon echo. Some are other having monopolies are bad it. If we don't have competition we all suffer in our president situation of. But i'm optimistic. Look people are smarter and these things are new enough. So we're learning how to do it we are. We're going to fix the problem. But w we do have a problem. Now when i went to buy something now irael about the fact that boy. I hated it.

The Voice of Healthcare
A Conversation With Suki with Punit Singh Soni, CEO
"We are joined by a special guest today from a company that's making some waves and creating some ripple effect while they're doing it. They're ceo puneet joins us today. Caen introduce yourself. Tell us about sukey dot ai and star with your vision and how you gotta go in plus madeline reid. Thank you for having me on the on the show. It's a pleasure to be here talking about this journey. I start by giving you a very quick background on on where i come from. I have all of three years of experience in healthcare so many of the folks who are interested in healthcare listening and probably have way more to teach me tonight. I have to say A my background is google. Most of it is from google. I was Before enterprise software startup it some venture investing Which i strongly recommend you not do if you want to actually build a company and be an operator and I in google in the search team then ended up actually running the mobile apps group for little bit Welcome games Social which you know has a whole different story it probably a good subject for different podcast And then we tried. Motorola was actually astern software. Their software product management. So did that for a little bit built a bunch of very interesting phones. One of them was the. I always on wise form. You could say okay moto x. navigate me to starbucks and this was before alexa. And siri and google assistant other things. Were even a a Even idea and so I kinda saw the evolution of boys and You know the whole voice tack especially when it comes to listening and ambient all of these things from the days when it was very early on And i ended up actually going to. India was the chief product officer flip guard which is india's largest e-commerce company. Came back and thought it would be very interesting to see how they apply some of this voice technology in alternative another spaces beyond dispute consumer. I had this thesis That the largest most interesting influential tech of emory ever is going to be in healthcare. Now i don't know if it's going to be now or five years from now or a decade from now but but i do believe that there is a very interesting company especially with the evolution of machine learning and artificial intelligence. And that's going to happen in in this space. And so that was the genesis in some ways of expirations in healthcare Obviously happy to tell you a lot more about you know how we chose this idea but that was basically how we got into a into the space and ended up putting together sukey. Yes ended up actually running Software product management at motorola and built a bunch of different phones. As part of it one phone that was probably very much well received in the market was moto x. Which was d. I always on phone. You could say things. Like ok moto x. Navigate we do starbucks and it will do that. This was before alexa and siri and the assistant from google even ideas. And so i've kind of seen a ambient passive listening and conversational voice from the days when it was barely technology and not really even a product and so ended up finishing motorola going to india. Where i was running a product for india's largest e-commerce company came back After we sold it to walmart. And i had this idea that there must be a way to use this trend that we're seeing machine learning and boys and why and apply that to healthcare

"Well a new year might mean some new form factors for technology. Tom's guide passing along report from time when he's united daily news. That apple reportedly commissioned to prototype shells from foxconn for foldable displays. Now this is a very low reliability source also even if it's true it just means that apple commissioned some prototypes doesn't mean they're even going to do this but One would be a book like design like the surface duo and the other a more standard smartphone designed that would fold in half kinda like the motorola razor or or the the samsung foldable phone december. Thirty first apple patent filing also shows a device that folds both in and out kind of a combination of the galaxy z flip and the wall way made x. So yeah there could be something in the works.

Looking for a phone for the holidays? Here are your best bets
"You're looking for a smartphone for yourself or a loved one this holiday. The choices can get overwhelming. Fortunately we've got some answers. Roger chang and this is your daily charge with me phone expert than law created holiday gift guide funds. Welcome lynn hierachy. I'm happy to be here. So you've a rundown of the best smartphone options out there but before we get into specific suggestions. Any general advice on what we should think about when we're syrian new phone. Yeah every time you know before you buy. New phone is important to think about how you use your last phone. Did you play a lot of games and watch videos if so you probably want a phone with a big screen and a battery a big battery and or did you take a lot of photos and capture a lot of videos than you probably want something with a great camera so you really want to think about how you use your phone and make sure that the phone works for you and your needs instead of just getting the latest greatest. You don't wanna pay for features you don't need features that you may or may not need i talk about five g a lot on this show But senior the expert. I wanted to get your read on this law. Is it something you really need. When considering which funded by there is a premium for five devices. So is it really worth. It is rolling out in more areas throughout this year. But i know like some carriers. I believe t mobile. They offer five g coverage under its unlimited plan anyway. So it's understandable if you're eyeing a five g device and that's your next phone in that situation but i'm not a hundred percent convinced a five g iphone is something you absolutely need this year especially when so many people are working from home anyway and especially if you don't have good five three coverage in your area so you should definitely check that before you make a decision and you know coverage maps from carriers. They don't really tell the whole story so you you wanna make sure you do a lot of research and phones. Five g. phones are getting cheaper and cheaper. So i may hold out just a bit longer gutted. It feels like the most part people are committed to the platforms. They've chosen if you're an iphone user. You're likely buying a new iphone. Twelve financial user. You have more choices. But a- likely to stick with another android phone other instances where you would consider switching. Generally that is true It people do tend to kind of stick with the same ecosystems. But i think it's easier to switch platforms easier more now than now more than ever especially compared to years past I think about some certain situations that would motivate motivate someone switch and i think peripheral accessories are especially good reason of the airpods pro. They do work with android phones to an extent but their functionality and their features work so much better with an iphone and you basically kind of even iphone to use an apple watch for its to its full potential so i could see android user. Who is really attracted to those accessories switch for that. I think for an iphone to android people do want the customization. I know iowa's fourteen gives you more and options but it just doesn't compare to what you can play around with on an android phone. It's a lot more fun if you have the time for it. So let's get into it. Let's talk about specific phones. What are some of your top picks for this holiday season again. It really depends on who you are and what your needs are but for an iphone. I do like the iphone mini because of its size. I have small hands. So it's very attracted to me and like the iphone se because it's a because of its low price and for android phones. The galaxy s twenty f e is really affordable. Pick for the galaxy line. And i liked the oneplus eight because it's premium but it's competitively priced so let's dig into some of those phones the the galaxy s twenty f e which. I know we made fun of alive for the name. Initially fan edition actually ended up being pretty decent About what you get with it and why you know. That's that's a pretty decent deal. Among other phones out there. Well one is that it has five g and it has a great performance. And the although you know. The camera isn't as good as the s. twenty. Ultra the note. Twenty ultra It's a good price. I think it starts about seven hundred dollars and it's so much cheaper than some of the premium galaxy phones out there so it's something if you want that galaxy samsung the samsung galaxy experience. But you don't want to spend way too much. I think that is a good alternative. Also you can look into samsung's galaxy a series lineup phones. Like the eighth fifty one i think is one of the more recent ones those also kind of offer that that software experience a galaxy experience without a premium of a high price so beyond some of these head like his. You know you talked about samsung. Which is a well-known Are there any other handsome. Makers that are a bit more under the radar that offer phones. Maybe deserve a second. Look yeah. I don't. I don't have any official releases or deals specifically that i can say i always think. Motorola is such a great company for mid range affordable phones and throughout the holiday season. There moto phones do get a discounted and there are some carrier promotions to it. I would say keep an eye on those things especially if you don't want to spend a thousand dollars on a phone if you're looking for something it starts like two hundred dollars. An up. motorola makes a really solid aggressively priced phones. That if you don't really need all the premium features so if you just kind of use your phone to make calls the moti. Seven power is a good mid range phone with a big battery so you don't have to charge it and that would be a great pick for someone who's a little bit more straightforward with their needs at. Don't need a lot or grammy. It's black friday today. So i'm sure there are plenty of deals to go around beyond the motorola brand new. You mentioned one plus and that's another company. That is a little bit under the radar. It's not a household name tug a little bit about that in some of the options there. Yeah we're plus is definitely. They started out as an android enthusiasts brand. They've branched out in there a little bit more popular. Now you're right. They're not as popular will known as google and samsung. Their current flagship line is the eight. It's oneplus eight pro. Act it's a lot of phones year. They released like four And so that's kind of their higher end line. They just released their oneplus. Nord en ten. Five g That will be available in north america at a later date and that has five g And it's about. I think it's going to be about four hundred dollars. Give or take so that is something that you know. They've consistently released premium phones with great hardware at affordable pricing used to be more affordable from years past. Not so much anymore but it still. You know hundreds of dollars cheaper than samsung galaxy funds beyond one plus and samsung another company that surprisingly flies under the radar is google right. It's it's a big name company but the pixel phones. Have not exactly been blockbuster devices. I believe one of the pixel phone is on your list. You talk about which phone that google makes people should be looking at. Yeah so. I think you're talking about pick so four eight five g. I've consistently recommended that phone since its release i like it. Because it is more affordable than the five the pixel five which is its main flagship. But you get a lot of the same features it still has. It has the same camera as a five. So it has great. Low like Low light photos and it has a soffer support from google. And it's also has five g which is what differentiates it from the pig soul for a that was Also released so that would be all the pixel phones that were released this year. I do like the four eighty five g the most just because it's cheaper than the five but has many of the same features so most of those flagship phones we're talking about the pixel five twelve. They're they're eight hundred dollars closer to one thousand dollars. If you're looking to spend that much like you. Does anyone actually need to spend a thousand dollars on a new phone. I mean you can definitely spend that much if you want you know phones. That cost that much are usually faster. They have longer less batteries and have great cameras. But i feel like this year compared to last compared to yours past. We've seen so many great phones that are priced below thousand dollars. You could find something great for four hundred dollars to six hundred dollars. I do think. Fund companies were reactive to the spending behavior of twenty twenty and how people for being a little bit more cost conscious and they and they Reacted to that. With a appropriately priced phones. That have been way more aggressive but still have premium teachers. And what if you're shopping for kids or parents amid this may be the same line of conversation. But you know for for folks who don't necessarily need all those layers in bells and whistles of. Are there any other phones that you suggest for them. That may be even a step down from some of the ones you talked about earlier definitely as it again. A motorola makes a lot of inexpensive phone so i would look towards their e line of funds the moto e six i believe is you know starts at one hundred dollars and that's something that you can get unlocked By the way if you are giving phone as a gift. I do recommend buying an unlocked. Phone it's probably the quickest and easiest way to go about it since you just have to swap existing some card and you're ready to go so that would kind of with that line of phones. The moti line would definitely be something. I would look out for this. Holiday season is a phone. Even a gift anymore is that is that too personal of a device for you to go out and actually get for someone. I sure why not. I totally don't disagree with receiving a phone as a gift. I think it's perfectly as long as you go about it the right way. Make sure that's what they're it matches the needs that they want and And you look very closely at all the fine print in terms of carrier contracts and stuff like that. I think it would be a great gift.
Monocle 24: The Globalist
Tobacco sales during lockdown
"During lockdown We sorta changed or spend money always being by mobike. Be buying jigsaw. Buying craft kits. Thinks like that and by motorola does seem that. We've been on mass buying more tobacco. If you look at the results from philip morris japan tobacco imperial brands altria group all of which have reported in the last month. They've essentially said our industry. Globally is doing far better than expected. Now of course long-term tobacco is a declining industry but it seems that the stress the anxiety. The bordon maybe even the freedom of being locked into your home has cool. Smokers either to restart smoking or to smoke more because the outlook for the industry the sales and revenue and profits. They've been reporting it being better than expected now. This is a slightly new story. Because else countries such as south africa where sales were banned entirely because of course covert isn't a disease that attacks the lungs and the chest and so smoking makes it far worse. There's also issues about some some places. Sales of tobacco products were considered essential. And therefore you could still buy them in. The shops and other countries cells of tobacco wouldn't considered non essential. And you couldn't buy them in. The shops followed by the way considered tobacco and essential purchase. So there's some confusion there's also been a pantry loading stopped loading what we saw toilet roll but also say we nuances this story again. Because of high taxes and high prices for tobacco most western countries smuggling tobacco is a massive issue. And of course what we know. We know the borders closed so again. The closure of the borders stopped a lot of that tobacco smuggling which again boosted big tobacco prophets. So so this is a really new story that straightway you'd think well covert attacks suggest attacks. The lungs people would stop smoking. Actually that's not been the case and actually people have drunk more wind. We've seen that in the uk people returning to alcohol to relieve their anxiety. It seems people have been turning to tobacco as well now. That story misses out. I think quite a key point and this is something. I'm noticing around the media. Nobody wants to report this. But if you refer to the british medical journal don't have the exact figures in front of me but it's something like this. Twenty percent of the british population smoke deaths from covid. Anchors is not point four one percent it would appear that there's something in nicotine That actually prevents prevents the virus entering the lungs. I know they should. Nobody wants to talk about. This correlation is not causality. okay speakers two things correllated does not mean one causes the other they have given you a financial answer georgie. You'd expect nothing else of me. Yeah well

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra review
"Note twenty and twenty ultra no twenty and not twenty ultra how the fastest processors in the galaxy series it comes with an. All new laser autofocus sensor, and for pro video mode, we also built an extra controls to give you videos an extra kick the no Tony Ultra like okay. Well, you you saw the issues with the s twenty ultra. He added a laser to it and then you made it made it a note it seems like it was really straightforward. I thought it was really good but it seemed like it was a really straightforward phone. I bet if there were no focus issues on the twenty ultra, it would have just been the same thing in a much more square. Body he basically and a Stylus was probably the plan. But yeah, they they fixed that little that focus issue and for phases tech delivery, and then they made a note and that's that's what a lot of us we're looking for. So I like that phone well, and it's like you know forty broke you know don't don't fix it until they fixed the thing that was broken they kept the rest of the same true. The regular note twenty though is just a baffling phone. What is the deal there? I called it the nope twenty was really happy with that title which I loved the title. Ever, house so jealous. It was I mean it's a thousand dollars and I for the longest time I didn't really in my device reviews go super deep on pricing because you know especially even with Samsung, it's going to go down over time. You know things change there's various deals in different markets while Blah. So I would just analyze like the device, but now pricing is so important. There's so many different tiers and so much competition at each price range and the note twenty came out and it was just like you put it up against the other thousand dollar phones and you're like this is not anywhere near what it supposedly like what happened here. This is not the right price and I think that actually took away from like actually being a pretty decent phone like that's what ended up talking about in the video is like take the price tag off of it like that's a unique combination of check marks like for a phone and they're offering that and you know once left the price on a thing like clearly this is a bad by, but it was a weird choice for that for that price. Well, so I mean the big thing for me was the the lack of higher frustrate which on the note is in particular importance because it does actually help with a latency. A little bit So you really feel it in theory I. Think you're right. It is the right interesting combination check boxes because if there are people that really desperately need a style if you like in that note world there should be a lower cost option for you like that that's a great idea and then so they made the phone that was of lower cost option for people and they didn't put it at a lower. Yeah, there's like two other phones with Stylus that seen this year I think ones like a four hundred dollar Motorola phone and maybe one other and it's like they did make a pretty unique phone there I almost wonder do you know if it's still thousand dollars? Are they finally lowering it though I mean those those inevitable. Samsung discount. So you can find it for less I. Mean I just published my review. It was relatively late and my original headlined was like. Don't buy it without a discount. That's that's actually the shortages. You can find it relatively less than go ahead and get it. If you can't just wait

The wonderful world of folding phones
"Out, you've had a very busy week and have is not is not for nothing that you've only slept four hours in the last three days or something. So I appreciate all the work you've done let's start with the galaxy fold sue and I'm just going to call it the galaxy full to because. No. The future is in flat. This is a phone that you and I went back and forth on about giving a five star review and we settled four point five out of five because no phone is perfect, etc etc. But I do want to talk about how much you like this thing in also how much better it is than the previous version. I'm you're not alone in this right this is you know the verge came out with their review this week as well. I think every other site that I've seen has sort of praised this as being an extravagance successful ones. So give us your your thoughts on unwired so much better than the first. Yeah I mean the biggest change for me is the fact that the cover screen now takes up the whole front of the phone. So it's it's. It really changes how you use it versus the short time. I. Spent with the original fold where you know that that covers green was so small that you could really only use it for notifications and and really small things. You didn't really want to use it for anything for more than two minutes or so the cover screen on the full to because it's it's so much bigger it. It really feels like just using a normal phone that just happens to be really narrow and tall. And you can do all your normal phone things with regular apps and not just notifications, and so it really makes the fold feel more like having two devices instead of just like having a tablet that shrinks to a frustratingly small screen. and that's It makes it a one handed device when you need it to be in that. That's a really big deal to me. I mean other than that. It's it's just fixing. So many things with the original full, the the hinges so much more rigid and you can use it for all the flex MoD things where you know certain APPS will rearrange themselves. When you fold the screen, it's not very widely implemented, but it does work really wealth the APPs that it that it has been. Optimized for and just the whole thing feels so refined where last year's fold felt like this is a really cool experiment, but it's still just an experiment This is a phone that like actually feels like a complete fully thought out products that somebody could and should by right now assuming they don't mind dropping two thousand dollars on a on a cell phone. And that's interesting. You know it's something that. It always takes that second generation to iron out any bugs but the ones that really affected. The I note were concerns about resilience this. Sorry. The first fold were concerns about resilience that the the plastics screen was scratched were susceptible to scratches that it wouldn't hold up in inclement weather that the repeated. Folding would. Potentially, damage it or may may not hold up to the regular stresses of daily life. You haven't had it very long but do have those concerns with this phone. Not, as much as I did with the first one, but I also don't think this is necessarily going to hold up as well as just a traditional phone that you're not fooling in half all the time. They made the they made some improvements like the ultra thin glass, the sort of outer plastic layer. Where the first vote was all plastic. So it should in theory be more more durable in that regard. Again, the hinge feels more resistant it's still not waterproof and that's a big bummer to me I. Don't I don't like use my phone in the rain all that often especially now that I'm not going out of the house when a when I can avoid it but. It. With two thousand dollar phone you kind of would hope it's going to be waterproof like every other phone on the market these days. So, little things like that I think add up to a phone that you maybe can't be. Confident in for the entirety of especially, if you're financing this for forty eight months like they offer on Samsung's website, don't don't find us a phone for four years. That's ridiculous. But I don't know that it's going to hold up over the course of four years or even two years. I trust it more than the first full though and I think that hopefully the next generation will be water resistant. If not everything else seems to be pretty airtight I, I don't have any like. crease aberrations that happened pretty pretty quickly with the original. Only had this for about ten eleven days, but it's still like A. Straight line down the middle. There's always the question of like what's the point of a folding phone? I guess some some of the. Questions have been aimed at the Z. Flip liner, the new Motorola Razor Five G. where they kind of their small. Clam shells that essentially open up into regular size phones a lot of people like the fact that they don't take as much space. When they're closed but I wonder is that an issue when you're trying to figure out how to use this phone and take advantage of it Especially now that the front screen is thin, but it's basically the size of a regular smartphone. How do you decide whether you're going to do something on your on the Front One? Put it back in your pocket quickly do you use it like as a as a larger smartwatch sort of triage or are you? Not, using it very much and instead of opening up the main screen and using that most of the time like how does that break down for you? So I used the cover screen a lot more than I expected to just again because it's sort of size like a normal phone, it is still like because it's so narrow I don't like typing on it at all especially, I've been sticking with Samsung's keyboard for the first time because it it can split down the Middle when you've got the phone extended and that's that's kind of Nice for for Ergonomics but the the keyboard itself as a nightmare so. I don't really love typing on the cover screen but I do use it a lot more than I thought. I would most of the time I just kind of decide like I wanNA use the phone one-handed or can I sit down and actually use it with both hands right now but the biggest guess most obvious reason to use the main screen is for multi tasking. It's so nice to have your APP split down the middle because you know you're basically working with two full sized phone screens right next to each other so you can have two full sized APPS. You can run three apps if you want or three APPs in a couple of floating windows, you can. You can do all kinds of stuff I. think it's really most usable with just two APPs renting it split screen. But there's I mean there's there's all sorts of things you can do their I've got the podcast rundown for this show pulled up right now just because it's such a you know spreadsheets are so nice on a giant screen and this is kind of perfect for that sort of thing. So I mean spreadsheets aren't sexy but if you use a lot of spreadsheets, that's a really good use case for something like the fold.
Cyber Work
Getting into security architecture: Careers, skills and ransomware
"I Wanted to talk to you today about because you know cyber work. The big push here is helping people to get started in cybersecurity and who don't necessarily know where to start or don't know what the next steps are in their career. So for listeners who might think you're fresh out of college I WANNA point out that you've been working insecurity for some time between undergraduate studies in recent master's degree. So I guess what I wanted to know, what are you? What were you specifically trying to achieve getting your? Computer Science from Michigan State you know before returning back to the business. sector. So there's a strong strong analytical competent. That is an integral part of any doctoral degree I began my PhD with the objective of owning my critical thinking skills and exploring the truth death of certain areas insecurity because as we know. So we will looked at the ten domains, of CIS SPN that's it. It's everywhere from physical security to cryptography and everything in between your network and I was doing that for for a long time and. It came to a point where I wanted to really truly understand something in depth to the point where you know I could get a PhD in in that area. So so that that that was definitely a motivation motivating factor for me going in. Do you have a sense of how you know the the addition of a PhD like this has has changed job prospects I mean obviously you're using Motorola but like like what what sort of doors does does a graduate level degree like this open for Cybersecurity I personal? Right, so that's a great. in terms of career prospects, it definitely opens up more research opportunities both in academia and industry. Right. Some research opportunities and industry will explicitly ask for a PhD So so it definitely opens those doors talking about industry in particular There are. There are few opposite like I said, there is a few doors that opened up right away. I could have definitely been. I could have definitely been a security architect without getting a PhD but the benefit is more intangible in that. There's elements of my PhD that prepared me for my role today. And allowed a smooth transition. into security architecture all as. You know. Because I play the role of. A playboy tactical and strategist role during my During my work as a security architect and especially the strategic part of the PSG definitely helps them. Okay. So you you mentioned that this is a pre specifically useful thing if you're going to go into a research capacity, is this something that you're looking to pursue as well? Are you looking to because I? Believe you're your emphasis was on ransomware are you are you doing sort of ransomware SORTA research level study of things ransomware right now? Yeah definitely that's a competent of my work and even at Motorola solutions on preparing I'm pursuing them up and so for example, if you know one thing that comes to mind that a PhD would directly help you in in an industry is like if you contributing to. If. You're if you're making if you're. Generating Patent applications that process is very similar to writing for Scientific Journal. So that's something that comes to mind right away that helps me aware PhD helps me in In the industry. Okay. So when we spoke earlier and I just mentioned it just now you said that that ransomware is probably the main focus of your study I believe. So could you tell me a little bit about what you learned about ransomware in this academic context and you know how deeply gone into this topic and what was your specialized area within ransomware? There's a certain aspect of it that really sort of attracted you. So speaking in the. Context is a lot of new things I learned One of them is actually funny. YOU SPEAK OF ACADEMY CONTEXT IN IN ONE thousand nine hundred thousand academy paper. Out in Tripoli Conference where which talked about where where the authors young young talked about crypto viruses that will deploy cryptographic libraries on on hose to perform unauthorized encryption and demand a ransom. In order to provide you with the decryption key. So they predicted the whole thing, one, thousand six, and this wasn't a ransomware in really start to grow around untold to five thousand six as when it started to. Grow. But so so that's always interesting is when when a academy predict some of these things I hadn't time. Reading about it in the academy context, I, notice that there's papers that have done studies on on large samples of ransomware discovered, for example, that ninety two percent of them are not affected right? Because cryptography is hard and and cybercriminals make mistakes all the time and a lot of the times they're scare where where they lock your screen expect you to pay the. Money when they haven't really done any encryption in the background So if you take away all of that fluff, then the h percent are the truly troubling ones and so there's a lot of noise in the cybercrime underground and you know we we get this. We get into this mode of thinking that Cybercriminals have descended from the heavens in terms of their. Skills but but that's not true. You know they make a lot of mistakes
