Welcome to tech Stuff, a production from I Heart Radio.
Hey there, and welcome to tech Stuff. I'm your host,
Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive producer with I Heart Radio
and I love all things tech and it is time
for the tech news for Tuesday, April six, twenty one.
(00:27):
Let's get at it. In the ongoing story about Amazon
and the company's efforts to fight against unionization, the US
National Labor Relations Board ruled against Amazon in a recent claim,
stating that the company illegally fired two employees who had
advocated for workers rights and to call the company to
(00:48):
account for its environmental impact. Marin Costa and Emily Cunningham
had both criticized their employer publicly before the company fired
both women, a move that the Labor Board identified as retaliatory.
Amazon representative J. C. Anderson said that the reason the
company handed the employees their walking papers wasn't to punish
(01:10):
them for criticizing Amazon, but rather for a quote, repeatedly
violating internal policies end quote. However, since at least one
of those policies seems to be about speaking publicly about
the business, according to The New York Times, this seems
like circular logic to me almost like a catch twenty two.
(01:31):
Sure you can criticize Amazon, it seems to say, but
if you speak publicly about the business, you've violated an
internal policy. Criticizing is not against the rules. It's then
that speaking about the business that is. But that internal
policy sounds like it is partly designed to protect the
company from employees criticizing it publicly, at least in any detail. Anyway,
(01:56):
I admit as always that I am biased when it
comes to this sort of stuff, as I am pro
union and in favor of protections that benefit the employee
over those that cater to the corporation. A couple of
weeks ago we saw reports about LG getting out of
the phone business. Now it's official. The company is shutting
(02:16):
down its smartphone division worldwide. It will continue to sell
off the inventory that it does have, so all those
phones made for this year will have to go. And
it sounds like we are never going to see production
models of phones like the rollable that was the c
e s reveal of a smartphone that had a flexible
oh lad screen, and the rollable could change size. It
(02:39):
could extend the width of the phone and go from
a sort of smartphone form factor to fablet sized or
tablet if you prefer, I definitely prefer The screen could
actually expand by unrolling from underneath the display you're looking at,
as these different sides would extend. It was a nifty design,
(02:59):
but I'm not sure that it was terribly practical. Moving
parts always represent a potential failure point, and for phones
which occasionally suffer bumps and falls, I think it would
have been a bit risky. Plus, if you wanted to
use the shape changing feature, you presumably wouldn't be able
to put your phone in a case because the case
(03:19):
wouldn't be able to change shape. But it was still
a very neat innovation in the phone space. And now
we're not really going to see it, but if you
are in the market for an LG phone, you should
keep your eyes peeled because we could see some pretty
aggressive sales in the very near future as they try
to get rid of that inventory. The Mars Perseverance rover
(03:40):
has dropped off the Ingenuity copter on the surface of
the Red planet. You might remember that Ingenuity piggybacked or
I guess really piggy bellied on the Perseverance and it
represents a high risk, high reward experiment. Mars is a
tough neighborhood. The atmosphere is thin, which means the rotors
(04:01):
on the Ingenuity will have to rotate at a rate
much higher than would be necessary here on Earth in
order to generate sufficient lift to get the copter off
the surface. It will also need to continue to charge
its batteries. The Perseverance had been providing juice to Ingenuity
since the Perseverance first touchdown, but now Ingenuity is gonna
(04:21):
have to use its own solar panels to do the same.
That electricity isn't just going to power the rotors motor,
which is a fun thing to say, rotors motor. We
go ahead, try it anyway. The electricity will also go
to powering Ingenuitys onboard heater as the temperature on Mars
plummets at night, it dips down to negative nineties celsius
(04:43):
or negative one thirty fahrenheit, whichever is greater. I kid,
they're the same thing. The heater ensures that Ingenuity's mechanical
parts don't freeze tight, which, as I understand it would
be somewhat you know, impede flight soon, but no sooner
than in April eleven, the Ingenuity will attempt its first flight.
(05:04):
This is really a proof of concept experiment with no
guarantee of success, but if that first flight does succeed,
NASA hopes to do a few more, as many as
four more before ingenuityes batteries are drained to the point
that it will just need to settle down on Mars
make a life for itself however it can, or rather
it'll sit on Mars and rest in a job well
(05:27):
done and collect dust for the rest of Eternity. Will
follow up on this once we hear about the first
attempts and how they panned out. Sticking with space, a
farmer in the United States and fact in the state
of Washington got a surprise last week when a piece
of a rocket ship landed on their farm. Last Thursday,
(05:49):
the second stage from a SpaceX Falcon nine entered into
an uncontrolled descent into the Earth's atmosphere after an otherwise
successful launch. The Falcon nine is a two stage launch vehicle,
and the first stage, the lower stage, is the one
that is supposed to return to Earth in a controlled
landing procedure, so that the stage can then be refurbished
(06:11):
and reused, which cuts way down on launch costs, But
the upper stage, the second stage, isn't so lucky. Typically
it has one of two fates. It's either pushed into
an orbit where it's going to stick around in orbit
for a while before eventually falling to Earth, or more frequently,
it is pushed so it de orbits in a controlled
(06:34):
manner and breaks up over the ocean. But this time
the second stage lacked enough fuel to do the ocean thing,
so instead it fell a bit short and broke up
over the Pacific Northwest. In the US. It was quite
the display, and people all in the northwestern part of
North America reported seeing multiple shooting stars. These were pieces
(06:56):
of the second stage glowing as they fell back to Earth,
and one such piece made it intact all the way
down to the ground on this farm in Washington. While
we knew about the re entry from last week, this
bit about the piece making it down to the surface
of Earth is new now. Apparently it's part of a
pressurized tank which is no longer pressurized. I guess I
(07:19):
should add it landed in Grant County, Washington, and that
is as specific as we can get about it. Because
the Sheriff's office wisely decided to leave out more details
in order to spare the farmer from locky lose. Google
has made a big change to its policy regarding Android apps,
but it might surprise some folks like like me to
(07:41):
learn about the implications of it. So there's a command
called query all packages, and this allows an app that's
installed on an Android device to get a list of
all the other apps that are installed on that device.
And that seems like that could be a little excessive
at least in some cases, right I mean, for example,
(08:01):
if you have an app that gives you a weather report,
should that weather report app also see which games you
have on your phone? Or if your apps related to
stuff like banking or your personal health or a real
estate app or whatever are also on that phone? Because
that that seems like that that's probably not necessary, right Well, Google,
(08:22):
after more than a decade, seems to have reached the
same conclusion. Now for devices running on Android eleven or later,
and all apps coming out from this point forward half
to target Android eleven or later. These apps can't just
have blanket access to the query all packages command. Developers
will have to defend why their app would need that
(08:44):
level of access, and in some cases you can make
an argument for it. For example, I have a password
vault app on my phone, and if I want that
app to work alongside other apps so that when I
open up some other app that requires a pass I
can use this little option to just fill it out automatically,
(09:04):
like say a banking app. Well, then the password vault
is going to need to know what other apps are
running on my device so that that interoperability will work.
But I probably don't need a food delivery service app
and a podcatching app to know about each other. That's
probably not necessary. So this change means that developers will
no longer know quite as much about the apps that
(09:28):
their users have on their phones, which isn't necessarily a
bad thing for the users. It cuts down opportunities for
developers to target people directly without their permission, or sell
information about them, and so forth. I think it's a
long overdue move on Google's part, and I am glad
that it's finally happening. I'm just surprised it took this
(09:48):
long to happen. Kara Swisher conducted an interview with Apple
CEO Tim Cook for The New York Times recently, and
in that interview, Cook talked a bit about how Apple
used the proces spect of augmented reality. He said that
a R could enhance conversations and give people the chance
to integrate other stuff into live conversation. For example, maybe
(10:11):
you're arguing with that friend of yours who just refuses
to admit that they are totally full of crap, and
you could pull up charts and graphs to back up
your point showing that they are in fact full of crap.
It sounds like a lot of fun to me that
conversations will be way better in the future. I also
don't anticipate a ARE applications being a threat to security
(10:32):
or privacy at all. I'm sure they're perfectly safe. Now.
I've been on the record as being pro a R,
but it's within specific contexts. I actually get a bit
squeamish when we talk about a R as a component
in person to person interactions. Sure, it could be helpful
if while chatting with a friend, I get a little
(10:53):
digital reminder in my view that says that this friend's
birthday is coming up, or maybe they've got a dietary sensitivity,
and since we're talking about restaurants, it's just reminding me
of that, so I don't end up making, you know,
suggestions that wouldn't apply or whatever. But you could see
where that stuff could actually really go wrong very quickly. Granted,
(11:16):
this is not the use case that Cook was making
to care Swisher, and you can make a very valid
argument that I am creating a sort of straw man argument.
I just see it as a potential slippery slope. And
let's face it, having a conversation with me is already
boring enough without me bringing charts and a bibliography into it.
(11:38):
I just think of all those online message boards that
are full of people demanding that other folks cite their
sources and stuff like that, and how that could become
a part of conversations moving forward, and that all of
that just makes me want to go back to bed.
A blind woman will receive one point one million dollars
in damages after having Uber driver's ditcher and her service
(12:01):
dog on fourteen different occasions, leaving her stranded and preventing
her from getting to important events and destinations, including just
getting to her office to do work. In sixteen, Uber
reached a two point six million dollar settlement for a
similar legal case, but some of the incidents that this
particular woman, Lisa Irving experienced happened after that settlement was reached,
(12:26):
which showed that Uber hadn't actually addressed the underlying problem.
It represents discrimination against Irving because of her blindness, which
is against the law. Irving will receive around three twenty
four thousand dollars. The rest of that one point one
million is going to cover legal fees. This illustrates why
(12:48):
the system in America is kind of screwy, because big
companies can afford to go through this sort of thing.
It takes a lot for a private citizen to take
on a big company a lawsuit. Uber has since created
a support form that customers can fill out should they
experience similar issues in the future. Doesn't prevent it from happening,
(13:09):
but it gives customers a chance to specifically address UH
an instance of the problem. And the very first question
asks if a writer was denied a ride because of
a service animal. So not truly a solution, but at
least a move to try and address the issue. And finally,
(13:30):
The Independent reports that researchers at Brown University have created
a brain computer interface with wireless connectivity. And what's more,
they say that this interface provides quote single neuron resolution
and full broadband fidelity end quote. Brain computer interfaces are
fascinating devices now. As the name indicates, this is a
(13:53):
technology that allows a person to interact with a computer
system through thought alone. It's like having telepathy that works
with computers. And typically this procedure includes intercranial surgery and
doctors have to implant electrodes into the brain of the recipient,
(14:13):
which is an incredibly invasive procedure obviously, and it has
its own set of risks, including potential infection, which is
a huge risk factor. So this process is required in
order to get very precise readings on brain activity, because
our skulls make it a bit tricky to detect brain
waves with accuracy unless we're actively in an f M
(14:36):
R I machine or something like that. In addition, we
usually see these technologies in the form of wired connections
between the interface that's attached to a patient and the
related computer system they communicate with, and that creates more limitations.
So this new approach removes the need for those physical wires.
(14:56):
There could be wireless communication between patient and computer, which
the researchers say opens up new possibilities and use cases.
Getting a system like this to work requires a lot
of adjustments because you're training a patient on how to
use the technology, but you're simultaneously training the technology to
learn how the patient thinks. The interface software has to
(15:20):
learn how to interpret brain waves and map those brain
waves to specific outcomes. It's a fascinating area of research
and development, and the researchers hope that by removing these
tethers they will be able to create more scenarios in
which they can have more examples and gather more data
and learn more about brain computer interactions and thus designed
(15:42):
better algorithms to create more seamless connectivity, ultimately giving paralyzed
patients more agency and communication capabilities. By the way, there
are also private companies and a lot of business folks
who are also researching this technology, though arguably for less
noble reasons. I personally remain convinced that Elon Musk is
(16:03):
mostly looking to find some sort of electronic means to
preserve his consciousness indefinitely. For example, it's just a feeling
I get and again, I have a bias, and it
really comes out in these New News episodes, doesn't it.
I make no apologies for it. It's who I am,
but draw your own conclusions. I'm not saying that I
(16:25):
am correct in this, It's just the feeling I get,
and I fully admit I could be wrong. But that
wraps up the news for April six one, and I
hope you are all doing well. If you have any
suggestions for things I should cover on future episodes of
