DeSantis launches GOP presidential campaign in Twitter announcement plagued by glitches
"Florida's Republican governors announced that he's officially a candidate for president, but the announcement didn't go exactly as planned. Republican governor Ron DeSantis launched his campaign in a special Twitter space's feed. Criticizing President Biden. He lacks vigor, flounders in the face of our nation's challenges, and he takes his cues from the woke mob. But there were technical problems that led to start and stops, audio glitches, and a delay of nearly half an hour. Desantis was asked why he chose Twitter instead of traditional media. He compared it to his COVID lockdown opposition, lamenting a lack of free expression. You had to put your money where your mouth is. Even that was marred by an audio glitch. This is rivals were rough. Donald Trump tweeted the desantis Twitter launch is a disaster. His whole campaign will be a disaster. And Nikki Haley's campaign also called it a failure. But still, desantis says they raised a $1 million in the first hour after the announcement. I'm Jackie Quinn

The U.S. surgeon general has some tips for parents and teens on social media use
"The U.S. Surgeon General is calling for immediate action by tech companies and lawmakers to protect kids and adolescents mental health on social media. Doctor Vivek Murthy says policymakers can strengthen safety standards and technology companies can do better at protecting children's privacy adhering to age minimums and responding quicker to complaints. In the meantime, the Surgeon General has tips for parents and kids, reach out for help if you or someone you know is being negatively affected by social media, create boundaries, limit the use of bones, tablets, and computers for at least one hour before bedtime. Be cautious about what you share, don't keep harassment or abuse a secret, reach out to at least one person you trust, create a family media plan along with tech free zones and parents should model responsible behavior and empower kids by teaching them about technology and responsibility.

TikTok content creators file lawsuit against Montana over first-in-nation law banning app
"The first challenge has been filed against Montana's new ban against the TikTok, social media platform. 5 TikTok content creators who live in Montana filed a lawsuit, saying their state's newly passed ban violates free speech. Not surprising to tech analyst roger, who has regulatory power over Internet services. He says the ban could be easily circumvented and not easy to enforce. So this is really more of a statement by Montana lawmakers concerned about data going to China. It tells me that there is a lot of frustration on a state level to show that they're doing something.

Check your artificial intelligence 'bossware' tools for bias, says U.S. agency head
"A U.S. agency is urging businesses to check their artificial intelligence boss ware tools for bias. The head of the U.S. agency charged with enforcing civil rights in the workplace says artificial driven boss wear tools that closely track the whereabouts, keystrokes and productivity of workers can also run a bell of discrimination laws. Charlotte burrows, who was the chair of the equal opportunity employment commission, says the agency is trying to educate employers and technology providers to be careful about their use of surveillance tools as well as AI tools that streamline the work of evaluating job prospects.

Ledger Recover Announcement Leads to Massive Crypto Uproar
"For the last 24 hours, all anyone has been talking about is ledger. It's a story that hits from so many angles. It's a story of technical challenges and tradeoffs and crypto UX. It's a story of let's call them challenges of corporate communications and marketing, and it's a story about the fundamental principles of self sovereignty that underlie the industry. So let's try to parse through it, shall we? On Tuesday, ledger announced a social recovery feature called ledger recover for their popular line of hardware wallets. Now, this feature sent crypto Twitter into a frenzy as we will see. Security experts warn that this feature was unsafe in its fundamental design and potentially revealed previously unknown security design flaws for all ledger users. So first, let's do a quick definitional explanation of what social recovery actually means. Social recovery is a design feature that's common in lots of crypto storage setups. It's offered by a range of companies in the industry. Now, there are a multitude of different security designs for this feature. One low tech version, for example, would be splitting your seed phrase into multiple sections and handing single parts to a group of trusted friends and family members. This would allow you to recover the entire seed phrase if you ever needed to. More complex implementations use multi sig wallets and trust a group of different people or companies with the individual keys to the multisig. This setup allows a group of these trusted key custodians to collaborate and recover your wallet, even if you've lost the keys. Now, importantly, all social recovery setups carry some amount of trust and risk alongside. Primarily your trusting that your social recovery delegates won't collaborate without your instruction to recover the wallet and steal your crypto. With growing crypto adoption, many believe that social recovery is a potentially important way to allow less technical users who don't trust themselves to store a seed phrase to access non custodial crypto storage solutions.

Devin Nunes Did So Much to Debunk the Russia Hoax Five Years Ago
"You deserve great credit. Am I incorrect in saying that we learned very little from the Durham book report and most of the work was the work that you and cash did 5 years ago, repurposed with a couple citations. Devin, your thoughts. Well, look, I think that's exactly right. Back in, we knew this in 2017. I always like to say that when Mueller walked through the door with his pit bull Andrew weissmann, they knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion because they had none. They would have provided it to us already who were conducting an investigation, Charlie. And why do I say I know that? Well, they would have had every single bit of reason to give us everything they had in early 2017 right when Trump is becoming president right after he fires Comey, but why not give us all the evidence? And so, you know, we had been watching this for a long time, and we knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion. You know, even just in my experience dealing with Russia for many, many years before that. Fast forward, it took us only about 6, 8 months to put together what was called then the newness memo that we actually launched around the 1st of February 2018. And that clearly laid out everything. I think the only thing that we learned through his investigation is that it really dialed it in on just the people at the top. The only new names and maybe I'm forgetting a couple, but it was really the alphabet scam that went on from Georgia Tech joffe guy named joffe, danchenko, who was their phony Russian that was just a former brookings institution guy. And then the Clinton campaign operative Dolan. Now the worst part with all this is I think no one can understand why he wasn't able to bring a conspiracy charge. I think that's the frustrating part because against these DoJ and FBI rogue officials.

YouTube’s recommendations send violent and graphic gun videos to 9-year-olds, study finds
"YouTube may be sending gun videos to your 9 year old and a new study finds that it's not the kids, it's the algorithms. I'm Lisa dwyer. YouTube is great at sending users videos based on the user's interests, but new research shows that the site's powerful algorithms can flood young users with violent and disturbing content. The nonprofit tech transparency project created YouTube accounts, mimicking the behavior of young boys with an interest in first person shooter games. YouTube says it works hard to protect children, but the researchers say the study shows otherwise. The account that clicked on YouTube suggestions soon was flooded with graphic videos about school shootings and how to instructions on making firearms fully automatic. One video showed a shooter using a 50 caliber gun to fire on a dummy head filled with lifelike blood and brains. Many of the videos violate YouTube's own policies against violent or gory content.

OpenAI CEO Testifies on Capitol Hill
"Gen, take us to Capitol Hill. What's up? All right, OpenAI Sam ultimate testified before the Senate judiciary community on artificial intelligence this morning a growing list of tech companies have deployed AI tools as we know. We talk about them here often like to touch UBT recently shining a light on how regulation should be applied to the industry, sounds very, very familiar. Let's take a look at what Altman had to say. We believe that the benefits of the tools we have deployed so far vastly outweigh the risks. But ensuring their safety is vital to our work and we make significant efforts to ensure that safety is built into our systems at all levels. Before we release GPT four, our latest model, we spent over 6 months conducting extensive evaluations, external red teaming, and dangerous capability testing. However, we think that regulatory intervention by governments will be critical to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models. All right, there we had all time calling for regulation, Zach, I'm gonna toss it off to you. What do you make of this? Feels oddly familiar to another industry. We talk about often. It is funny to see this sort of parallel conversation happening, right? With a lot of the same echoes of, okay, what's the government's role? How do we protect these people? What's going on? I think it is interesting that this industry is sort of ostensibly asking for the government to backstop it, should things go horribly wrong. It's a bit different, I think, from the crypto conversation in some respects, but also quite similar, right? There is a general wariness of these new technologies among those in Congress. They're looking to a sort of ride the wave as people become fascinated by these technologies and B, kind of implement some stuff that could put some guardrails on these technologies such that things don't go horribly astray. So it is funny that we hear both these things happening in concert. I wonder if there's ever going to be the intersection of the two conversations because I think there is a world in which crypto is the native currency of the AIs, right? And that becomes really potentially interesting world. Like mass adoption of humans in crypto, never going to happen. Too complicated. But mass adoption among AIs of crypto, I think that's really what people should be talking about.

We Need More Apps With Lightning, Not More Lightning Apps
"Let's get into today's read. And its titled. We need more apps with lightning. Not more lightning apps. By Roy scheinfeld. Fun fact the first digital camera was built in 1974. Nearly 50 years ago, the resolution was 100 by 100 pixels, ten kilo pixels. It was an early alpha. Follow the link to the article if you want to see the rather remarkable image of the first digital camera, which apparently recorded its data on an analog magnetic cassette tape. The link is right in the description. Over the next 34 years, the technology progressed by leaps and bounds. A really good digital camera in 2007 could capture about 12.3 megapixels and improvement of 1230 X. But what was that refinement really worth? Whether a 12.3 megapixels or ten kilo pixels, digital cameras basically just recorded images as digital data quickly. Cameras could perform their one task better, but they could still perform only one task. But a revolution in digital cameras began in 2007, with the device that had a measly two megapixels. What made it revolutionary was that it was attached to other tech. Messaging, a web browser, geo tagging, and later a whole infrastructure of QR codes, monetization models, and special purpose apps that device was, of course, the first gen iPhone. The iPhone and the apps built around it transformed the digital camera from a toy into an indispensable tool of modern life on par with copper cables and email addresses. The camera with its aperture, sensor chip, and memory is still pretty much the same as it was 50 years ago.

You know, there's this whole right to repair movement going on all over the country. And I think more than two dozen state legislatures have bills requiring that you should be able to repair your stuff, your iPhone, your AirPods, whatever it is, it's broken. I think a lot of this actually comes from farm country where they're all peeved and miffed about John Deere, you buy yourself a $400,000 combine harvester, and you have to bring it to the John Deere guy to fix it. No matter what, only John Deere can fix it. And if you do have the temerity to fix it yourself, you still have to bring it to the Don deer guy. So he can run a little computer program that blesses it and says, okay, it's all right. And so people are annoyed about that. Although, it bit the Russians in the butt a couple of weeks ago. Do you see that? They stole a bunch of John Deere tractors from Ukraine and started to drive them back to Russia. And John Deere pulled the plug. Turns out they have the capability from the factory. A disabling that combine that tractor that device. And so they did, which is good, good on them for messing with the Russians. But it does raise this specter. Increasingly, the stuff we buy and think we own is not. Our own. If at any time a company can disable your device, remotely, do you own it?

"Hey there listeners, it's Brett Molina? Welcome back to talking tech. So this is it. This is the final episode. For now. I'm gonna leave the door open maybe a tiny crack. I'll explain more of that in a bit. But for now, if you haven't heard from earlier episodes of this podcast, talking tech is going to take a hiatus. I'm not going to call it a permanent hiatus, there is a possibility that we come back in some form, I can't guarantee anything, but again, like I said, I'll leave the door open just a little crack. Maybe we come back, I don't know. But for right now, the talking tech podcast is going to go on hiatus. And I figured what better way to wrap this up than to share some of my personal tech tips, things that I try to do every day. I'm not always successful, but I try to do a lot of this stuff all the time. And I think it's important that you do too. And if there's any lessons to take away from this podcast, I'm hoping it's these. So I'll share some of these tips right now. The first one, this is at the very top of my list because I feel like it's one of the most important. Turn on two factor authentication. If you're not exactly sure what that is, if you're still in the dark about it, basically the way it works is when you sign up for an account, you can have this extra layer of security when you log in. So let's say you log in right after that you'll get a prompt that says, we're going to send you a code to your smartphone or wherever, and it's you have to type that in too. So it's on top of your password. I love it. I think it's super helpful if you're trying to keep your account extra secure. If you're worried about just getting spam with text all the time every time you log in, you can save your details on your browser so that way you can just log in. You don't have to do it every single time. Also, if you're tired of typing in the codes, a lot of apps now have been really good at allowing you to just open up your smartphone app and clicking a yes or no, did you log in here? And then you're set. But I highly recommend turning it on. It's super helpful. Super useful. You never know what could happen in the last thing you want to someone to get into your account. It's a nice little buffer that can protect you. And protect your stuff. The next one I would say is passwords. If you haven't tried it yet, use a password manager. If you're not sure about password managers, figure out those critical accounts that you know that, hey, if it gets compromised, that is going to be that's going to ruin your day. If you have accounts like that, make sure those have unique passwords. I get it. There's some sites where you're just plugging in a password to get on an account and it really doesn't matter to you. If you want to plug in a password that you're not sure about fine. But the important thing is those critical accounts just make sure that you have unique passwords for each. And again, ideally, password manager. That's the best way to go. It's one sign in one login. It generates your own passwords randomly. It's a great tool if you haven't used them yet. The third one, I fail at this a lot. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm perfect at this. Never put off the software update. I do it all the time. I admit it, but again, don't put off the software update. It is so important, especially if you're trying to protect yourself. If you're trying to make sure that your phone, your laptop, everything is secure and safe, always update. Even if you're in the middle of something and it's a giant pain, doing anyway. The last one and this is another one. I violate two sometimes, but it's good. Never charge your devices to a 100%. A lot of batteries now are newer, they work a lot better, and they don't need to be fully charged top rate properly. It's not like the days where you go from zero to a hundred. Keep your stuff charged between 20, 80% or so. And you're in good shape. You'll take care of your battery, you'll take care of your devices. It's all beautiful. So that's it. Again, if you want to read any of my coverage, you can go to tech USA Today dot com. I think right now I just want to say thanks. I want to say thank you to all my editors.

I don't know if there's anything particularly distinctive about it other than the fact it's a compact crossover hybrid. And it's a Toyota. So it's going to get really good fuel economy. It's going to be really reliable. It's not particularly groundbreaking in any way. But it'll probably work really well. Let's see. Kayla tech asks LIDAR sounds like a mix of as in a lion and Tiger is a liger. Yeah, LIDAR stands for light detection and ranging. Uses lasers to scans across the field of view with a laser beam that goes out and measures the reflected photons coming back and knowing what the speed of light is. You can calculate the distance and from that, you can also calculate the velocity of the objects that you're detecting. And it's much higher resolution than typical radar. The early LIDAR sensors were extremely expensive. They were initially used on vehicles during the darpa grand challenge for autonomous vehicles back in 2005, 6, 7, and those first valid LIDAR sensors, which actually just recently won our production cost about $80,000, but there are LIDAR sensors now that cost in the low hundreds of dollars. And a lot of quite a few of them that are well under a $1000. Let's see. NY NY NCI Doc says with an F one 50 reservation number of 100 and it looks like 1 million 125,000 is there a chance I'm getting one this year. I'm not sure what that how that reservation number actually translates because I'm pretty sure there wasn't 11 million reservations. I think it was about 200,000 reservations. So I'm not sure which of the numbers in there are actually relevant to your position in line. If you're in the if it's using the last 5 digits there are still about 50,000. You may well get one this year. We'll have to wait and see. It depends. It also depends on how many of the reservations actually get turned into converted into real orders. There's always some people that reserve and then decide, I didn't really want that. So you may get bumped up in the order. And it depends on what model you're looking for and what's available at any given point in time. So you may get bumped up in the order. Binky says he likes the Hummer EV..

That funky tech guy music leo laporte the tech guy on the line right now from chicago illinois carmine. Hello carmine hey to say i am. A big fan of twits Your mic on. Is this absolutely. We love mike. Can i can give you is has got a very bright future of them. Well i'm gonna tell you something now that i haven't told anybody yet but I'm going to make my my apprentice on the tech guy show. He's he's shown some interest as you know. I'm getting on in years and while i don't anticipate retiring anytime soon. I think it'd be good to have somebody who can take over for me so Mike is going to sit in with me. I think starting pretty soon And helped me out of the tech show at a little use to the equation and some expertise to because he's a he's a expert iowa's and ipad shortcuts and stuff like that. So yeah i like to kind of go on your long talk talks you know so well don't you about The differences victim. Get the world vs and i wanted to kind of know. What's the difference between level one level two and level three and like how long is each take and how long how much each one at the my electric bill. If i decide to put one of those in the garage so your electric bill is tied to the the. The watt hours that you use so the difference in the charging levels won't change your electric bill. 'cause you're gonna use the same amount of what hours it's just going to be the how fat not what hours but wattage how fast you use those right so in other words level one which is basically plugging into the one twenty volt circuit in your house is gonna take maybe a day or two to charge up a full eighty or ninety kilowatt hour battery..

High graphic know high definition graphics or anything else like they. You could write a lot of programs under a couple of code so again things have changed storage. I i most of my background is assembly. Code and digital signal processing and a lot of c. code Back debts very efficient coding These days was graphic user interfaces and everything else you can you could. Have you know a gigabyte. In a program. And a lot of games out there that people are plane either on their ipads or iphones or other their desktop computers or many gigabytes in size. Yeah and we don't even think twice about it anymore. Now yes just an app sign. I i think it's really important to to just see how these things are evolving in how you're also just staying at the forefront of it because for some reason some people just assume that it's it seems to me are like no. It's not for my generation. So i don't need to think about it but actually you know if you're even if you're there from the beginning you can keep up with it.

"Dot com edelman's surveyed more than thirty three thousand people in twenty eight countries to gauge consumer trust. They've been doing this for twenty one years and institutions like media government business and the tech sector trust in the tech sector fell by seven percent worldwide. A third straight year of decline trust and tech was going up and up and up until three years ago worldwide and then started to fall trust in tech. Hit a twenty one year. Low in seventeen countries including china. The us and australia and the biggest decline happened in the united states tech was the most trusted sector studied in the us last year even with declines it was still up top and it fell between last year and this year to ninth tech was still the most trusted stutter. Despite the declines in seven countries it declined but it stayed on top. And that's down from being the most trusted sector in twenty countries back in two thousand sixteen only. Saudi arabia showed an increase interest in the tech industry. This year trust in tech is the lowest in russia. The uk japan the us and france. And it's the highest in indonesia foreign away above in indonesia pretty good and india saudi arabia. The uae. Kenya mexico and thailand. But fact the matter is tech. Blew it for one reason or another. They had everybody's trust everybody's like oh tech techs. Great love the apps in the phones and then three years ago or so. Everybody's like don't like tech too much power too much stuff. How trustworthy do you guys feel tech as well okay so it depends on what what what's tack right. Take the us specifically when election year lot of issues with how facebook and twitter and pretty much facebook. We're handling that sort of thing and and people's real trust issues with those platforms yet more social network than technology. But then you've got a company like amazon going through a variety of warehouse issues and scaling issues. And you have the occasional story coming out of one of those warehouses saying that things aren't going very well here. I can see where in the us trust going down mixed a lot of sense and it doesn't even necessarily mean that the companies are failing and sort of way. But that's just that that's just the vibe. In some of the other countries i find it really interesting yeah like saudi arabia increase trusts in tech of last year. Is there something going on there. That i don't know. Is there perhaps a company that's working in the oil industry in a way that has made a lot of people happy. It's it's it's it's kind of fascinating we want to build them. What you're saying. Sarah is i. I hate this because it does put tech together. I mean did. Did people lose trust and microsoft in the last couple of years. I know everything i hear. Is people love bikers off right now. You know i haven't heard about people distrusting wild way or you know there's a lot of somebody who have the disgusting okay..
