"Muted, Richard still muted. Muted, no video, nothing. I got nothing from Richard. Leo, sorry about that. Where are you going for a Richard? I'm from a small town in Tennessee called Huntington. Nice. Is it beautiful there right now? Overcast, about 55°, can't really complain. Our caller for Winnipeg would take that for sure. What can we do? What can we do for you? Absolutely. Okay, I'm volunteering at a local public school to help out their IT department. And I'm new to the industry myself. Good for you. That's awesome. And we have a mix of about 60 Windows. Windows PCs and it's a one to one Chromebook environment for the students. Cool. And I'm wanting to know, is there a way probably through either Azure or one of Microsoft's Microsoft 360 five to run a company-wide defender scan? Then I could schedule every day at like 2 a.m. when nobody's there and just get the report all the machines reported back. To myself and I'm going to guess you don't have an enterprise. They don't have an enterprise license. They probably bought those machines onesie twosie. Educational licenses. Oh, okay. Okay. So, you know, I wish Russell were here because Russell is already guy. He's really the expert on how to do this. My guess is you want to look at something called Windows in tune. Which is an enterprise system that lets you control what apps are installed. I bet you there is an education intune or something like it. If you've got the education license, that's the thing to do to look at is what is the education license give you. And I wonder if it gives you a copy if it lets you do in tune. Some people in Michigan say it's Microsoft licensing should be an accredited course. Yeah, they have intune for education. So that's what I want. That's what I would look at. So this is really designed to not just do the scanning, but really do the whole setup and management, right? So that you can for instance deploy stuff now the students have Chromebooks not windows stuff, right? For the most part, our high schoolers do use Windows PCs for one or two courses, but other than that, it's mainly Chromebook. My guess is the Chromebooks probably don't need scanning. They're kind of by their nature secure. You might do a power wash every semester, but other than that, you probably don't have to do anything. So this is just for the Windows machines. You have, since you have, if they have a Windows for education license, I think they probably already have in tune, but you should look into that. I think that's the tool I would say you would want.

"If I'm reviewing a phone, a product, if I make recommending something, that's just me. That's me. They're not giving me anything. I pay for my Google file. Leo Laporte, the tech guy. Well, hey, hey, hey. How are you today? Leo Laporte here, the tech guy, time to talk computers, the Internet, home theater, digital photography, smartphones, smart watches, Florida man, and our chat was very upset. He says, you haven't mentioned Elon all day or Twitter. My drinking game is very boring, yes. Aren't we bored with Elon? And by the way, well, this week was a terrible week to be on Twitter. Just I think that's increasingly going to be that way to be honest. I might have to give up Twitter because it's just depressing. Do you notice that? They call it doom scrolling. And it's the worst when you wake up in the middle of the night. A 4 o'clock, the hour of the wolf, you wake up. You're staring at the ceiling your eyes are wide open and you go, all right, well, all right, I'll just look at Twitter for a few minutes. And then do them scrolling. The doom scrolling begins. And this has been a bad week for doom scrolling. Even if you only read Elon's tweets, which are nutty. I'm sorry, but the man is off his rocker. And I know I have a Tesla, and we're talking about Starlink is the hope of global Internet. Although, as we learn more about Starlink, it turns out, maybe not going to be the hope of the world for global Internet. But yeah, so yeah, sorry, Florida, man. I'm sorry. I just can't. I just can't. No doom scrolling today. Richards on the line from Ventura, California. Hi, Richard Leo Laporte the tech guy. Leo. Welcome. All the time. I love your show. I love DQ. Thank you. You guys were talking about Star Trek, so I'm going to use that as an introduction to where I'm coming from. Oh, good. I began I began my journey into audio video engineering about 38 years ago. And it led to remastering all three seasons of the original Star Trek. Wait a minute, did you do that professionally just for fun? Yeah. No, I worked for a Panasonic for their R&D division. Oh, how cool is that? Yeah, I had a lot of great experiences and I'd like to think I understand audio video, so I'm using that as a preface to cover my embarrassment following you. Well, you know a hell of a lot more about it than I do. I could tell you that, Richard right now. Well, I know enough to be embarrassed, but my first one of my first jobs was working for a cable company when I was 15. And then I worked for a store out here called a Federated group. Huge audio video. I remember them, yeah. Yeah. I was the operations manager and put together all the systems for state came out and 5.1. And I understand a lot of how that works. So I'm totally stumped and I'm bowing my head here to see if I can get some help. It's a really simple thing..

"Work and what they can and can't do. It sounds like the law has to be updated as well to accommodate modern vehicles. Not necessarily. I mean, the courts could say, but they did. I think it's more software. But they did. Courts need to interpret it differently. Well, you can't do anything about the courts. You have to do it through legislative process. According to this. Judge Reed O'Connor, I have this right here, wrote that because mcas is not an aircraft part as divined by chapter 18 of the U.S. code, subsection three, four, blah, blah, blah. The indictment fails to allege that the offensive fails to allege. That the defendant violated. That means the law has to be updated. If there's that ambiguity, of course, the courts could go either way. But that's the point. Is there's ambiguity and that needs to be very clear that no software is a part. It's going to be more and more the case as we get more self-driving vehicles and more driver assist technologies, software is becoming a bigger, bigger part of our cars, right, Sam? Yeah, and even the vehicle regulations, the ground vehicle regulations did not specifically call out things like emission control software. Because they were written in the 50s, probably. But the courts actually did rule. This is a defeat device. This is a component of the system. If there's wiggle room, you need to rewrite it. Yeah. Hey Micah, pleasure. Give us a plug for the podcast. Once the airplane geeks podcast, we recorded every Monday night. It comes out every Wednesday night. On Wednesday morning and the last show that we just recorded was with the Portland Maine jetport director about the closing down of her runway for coming up for about 6 weeks, so they can resurface it. And I know that sounds like it's not very technical, but you'd be surprised how amazing it was. I don't know if you heard it or not yet. I haven't listened to it yet. It's in my queue. Nice. It's the only problem nowadays. There's too many darn things, too many good darn things to listen to. In the day. Thank you, Mike, it's a pleasure talking to you. Thank you so much. I take care. Richard's next on the line from west LA. Hi, Richard Leo Laporte. The tech guy. Thanks for calling. I just got a new television, Samsung. And I have two count them. Can you just quote soundwaves? I don't think there is good as you're guessing whose name escapes. And for the minute. Scott Wilkinson, our home theater geek. Yes. I mean, I think. No, I'm sorry. I forget too. So is this the soundbar that's built into this Samsung? No. It's one you've had all along or a couple you've had online..

"He's our musical director. Thank you, Jeremiah. Professor Laura take a little time off. Good for you. 88, but we've got Kim shaffer in the phone booth 88 88 ask Leo the phone number. 8 8 8 8 two 7 5 5 three 6s we attempt to navigate this crazy, crazy world attack. Nothing works. I was in the break telling the chat room about our woes with our many. Many Cooper, my wife loves my wife and I love electric. I have a Mach-E. We have a bolt for our 19 year old, a couple of segues, all electric bikes. She wanted to get an electric car for herself. She got the electric mini. Loves it, had a great time. It's bright red, fits her personality, peppy, fast. Doesn't go very far, but that's okay. She just used it for getting around town. Yesterday, unplug the vehicle, all charged up, going to move it out of the garage. All the alarms go off. Every light lights up and it says drive train malfunction. Pull over. So I'm not going anywhere. Pull over. So we call the mini Cooper dealer. And Moran and say, hey, help. Help. They send two different trot trucks. Both of them looked at it and shook their heads and drove off. Because it's in the garage, and I guess they figure, well, we can't get it. Basically, you can't get it to neutral. This is a problem I guess with some electric vehicles. Maybe I don't know. Maybe it's just electric vehicles, but there's no it doesn't seem to be any manual override to take the wheels out of gear so you can just roll it. We can't get out of the garage. And nobody wants to tow it. Yeah, thank goodness she wasn't on the road. So anyway, you know what? My take on it is being the tech guy. Cars these days are essentially computers. Computers do everything. It's all fly by wire now. And especially in electric vehicle like this many. So my guess is during charging or maybe when I was unplugging it, there was a short electric city goes down the wire and into some circuit board that just gets fried and just failed. The car is probably mechanically perfectly good. It runs on a computer, and the computer is fried. That's my guess. Anyway. I will talk about it tomorrow with Sam nimble Sam in my car guy. You bet. Lisa's favorite part is when she called the dealer and the guy says, I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? I just bought it a month ago. Yeah, I don't know. There's nothing we can do. What do you mean? There's nothing. Yes, there's something you can do. You can fix it. Time to install Linux, right? Yeah, now we're talking.

"What up everyone, you are watching kind of funny games daily for the 23rd of November. I'm your host when I'm saying, I am joined by Gary whitt the boys from Britain are back. How are you doing, Gary? Good, good. I'm glad to be back with you. That first show that we did whenever it was some weeks ago was really fun. So I'm glad they put us together again. It was a good time. I think we were vibing off each other as British people, and I want to try and keep that energy going, so I'm going to bring you something that I know that you love. So we can start off with that and that is four guys. A great British game. A great British game truly truly, it is the most British game I would say. It reminds me of previous shows. Are you old enough? You're not old enough to have grown up with it's a knockout on. It's a knockout. Oh, you did? Yeah, yeah. Everyone when they talk about four guys, the old reference takeshi's castle, but I think given that the game was developed in Britain was probably more influenced by its a knockout, which was like the great British version of that. I think when I watched there was reruns as well as like, as well as I think they tried to do like a newer version of it, but it didn't catch on. So I remember watching a lot of reruns of it. And there was like occasionally there would be like when they couldn't get new episodes going, they'd get like the Australian version or the other version. And it was never as good as the British one. I don't know if it's on YouTube, but for anyone who's not familiar with it and wants to have a good time, maybe maybe do a YouTube search for it to knock out on YouTube and maybe there'll be some clips of the old British TV show. I mean, I think a lot more like fall guys than anything else and that they would dress the contestants up in these ridiculous, massive costumes before us to kind of run around and negotiate these obstacle courses where then the announcer was famous for cracking up laughing because it was so ridiculous. It was a fun show. It's like I haven't thought about it to knock out for so long, but you mentioned it because I do my streams on Twitch. Where I usually start off my streams by watching crystal maze. The old school, the old school ones, and like my brain, my emotes are of like Richard O'Brien's face. And I learned so much. I just love watch that and fort boyard, a lot of as well, which I describe as horny crystal meze, which because they're basically is. But I had no idea that Richard O'Brien wrote the rocky or picture show. I didn't discover that until, I mean, he was he obviously already had a great resume before he even did the crystal maze. That's what he continues to be most famous for, you know, road it created is in the movie. And was also a great host of the crystal maze. They brought it back recently with Richard Leo. Did you see that? I've not seen that yet, but I think I'm going to give it a shot and work on my way through the old seasons and it's real real good. So I'm watching and there's a lot of Americans watching my stream because I'm watching streaming on Pacific time and they're like, this is wild and it's so cool. And there's a lot of people who are now fans of crystal maze because of it and I'm just like, I'm glad that this great British classic is it's a very good U.S. also since I've got you and I feel like we're going down the same British digression corner we did last time. But you'll appreciate this and it is actually relevant to our podcast. Did you see that they're bringing back games master? I did see it. I did see it. Yeah, I saw a few clips, and I know some of the people that are working on it. And it looks interesting. Games master back in the day was so much fun. You know, I was on it. I used to be on it. I was one of their guest reviewers when I was like a tiny baby game reviewer late 1926. Amazing. Clip this clips out there on YouTube of like very reviewing games on games master. I'm gonna find those. They replaced, what's his name? As the actual games master. So I saw a trailer with like a Scottish guy in like an Obi-Wan Kenobi robe. And I was like, did they bring back Dominic diamond, or is this something? It's not Dominic diamonds, rabe Florence. It's rad Flores. And they've got what's his name, the news anchor Trevor, the classic BBC McDonald? McDonald's. Yeah, he's a new Patrick. Oh, really? And it's really good. It's really good. He's really good, yeah. I might have to watch this. Yeah, they've got some real good time. I know Frankie ward, who's a well-known eSports commentator and analyst is working on it as well. And she's incredible and there's a bunch of great people of them. It sounds like they might be bringing it back more into the old show was, which was kind of a grab bag of reviews and it was like a magazine show. I guess it sounds like they might be leaning more into the competitive eSports and it is now? Yeah, so they have it's mainly around the competition element of it, and you do get that slight explanation of what a game is. So occasionally you'll see Trevor McDonald talking about, I don't know, Super Mario Brothers. I got to say Donald is the new games master is my brother. He's the same way that Patrick maro was back in the way. He's incredible. And like, it seems like I know a bunch like they've got like current content creators who make sense there like MC fixers on it. And that kind of stuff. He's a kind of funny best friend and various other people. So it looks like they're doing it right. I've not actually seen a full episode. I've only seen a couple of clips and there's also an Instagram filter where you can be the game's master and record yourself. How far we've come. It's incredible, but getting back to the original story for guy season 6. Yes, launching in November 30. So a week from today and they're doing the reveal of what season 6 is later today, correct? Well, I think it might be out. So I've already seen will be tumbling into a festival themed blunderdome on Tuesday 30 for 2021 with their launch of season 6, party spectacular. All right. So the details were revealed in a stream event. You can so you can watch that after this that you can get caught up on it. But it looks pretty cool. 5 new rounds, 25 new costumes, 50 tiers of fame, part rewards, sack.

JD.com Announces 2020 Second Quarter and Interim Financial Results

"We're GONNA start, with, JD DOT com second quarter profits and revenue came in higher than expected for China's largest online retailer and active customer accounts for JD DOT COM up thirty percent year over year. That is. What's more impressive is when you think thirty percent year over year increase if you're talking about something that starts at a thousand and ends up at one thousand, three, hundred, that's impressive. But when you go to four hundred and seventeen million active customers. In some ways in some ways, China the numbers in China. Almost feel like cheat codes right? Like like the numbers just don't even feel real. It's like someone typed in an extra comma or another zero or whatever. Yeah. Four hundred and seventeen million active customers, and you could see this coming. We've talked a lot about JD DOT com and how aggressive they. Were at setting up their own infrastructure over the last few years and how they have supported both their customers, and also they opened up very quickly almost like a shop type network throughout the country and people have into it like gangbusters. So hot calm is it's an incredible company. It's an absolutely incredible company. I'm glad you mentioned the investments they may because we. When you just look at how the stock is the stock's up a couple of percentage points today, it's up around seventy percent year to date. But when you back that out the previous year and a half basically from mid twenty eighteen to the end of last year, the stock is basically flat. You know this company a lot better than I do I was looking at that chart and thinking. I'm wondering if that year and a half where the stock basically didn't go anywhere was them. Sorry to compare them to Amazon but just thinking of the years in which bays us would just come out every quarter and basically be like we're making investments we're making investments and. It seems like the investments JD. Dot Com has been making a really paying off right now. They really are in one of the interesting things jd dot. COM has an absolutely fascinating backstory. It started out as a as a physical property place where people could go and buy electronic equipment cables and things of that nature, and they lost ninety five percent of their business. When SARS hit China, they had almost nothing online and the CEO Richard Leo realized that online was the wave of the future and so he wanted to harden his company. Future. Problems. So they got rid of almost all of their business and went all online and they did so during an epidemic and so they were ready for this Monday. They absolutely were were were ready for this and these results are I mean you're exactly right? It's almost like English ivy like at hangs out for a while and then boom it takes over everything jd dot com is for a while and boom it is taking over everything.

China explores merger of carriers China Unicom, China Telecom

"Now China essentially exploring a mega merger between two of the nation's three wireless carriers merger between the nation's second and third. Biggest telcos China? Unicom and telecom would create the world's second largest wireless operator after China Mobile and give the nation greater scale to speed up development of five G and gain advantage over the United States. Let's bring in Asia Society, senior, fellow Isaac stone fish, though is first of all. What are the benefits and to whom of a merger of this size? So if China Unicom and China Telecom unit telecom, or whatever they decide to call it if they do merge, you're going to see a much larger customer base, which allows for a lot more data analytics a lot more trials a lot more ability to hit a really large market. It would immediately put them out at second right below China Mobile. I think also they would get a lot more government support, which is always key in China. This is a example that Beijing is trying to make this company into much more of a global player and would presumably put a lot more resources behind it. So what are the drawbacks especially for I suppose, China Mobile? So the drawbacks certainly for China Mobile is that it has another big domestic competitor. It's also a sign that perhaps in the party is looking a little bit less favourably as to what the company has an is doing. I think another drawback though, four. The two second third largest Chinese telecoms in China is that putting companies together like this is not necessarily going to lead to more innovation. More efficiency. This is not a market driven move. This is a party driven move. So we don't actually know if the numbers make sense, if the fundamentals make sense of these companies together, or this is just something that Beijing is doing for inscrutable
