Hi everyone, I'm John Seymour, the host of
The JMOR TechTalk Show and inspirations
for your life.

(00:46):
Well, hey guys, welcome to The JMOR
Tech Talk show.
It's always great to be with you here
on the show.
Today is the very last Friday of August
2025.
There'll be no more Fridays in August until

(01:08):
2026.
So as everyone's gearing up for the long,
relaxing Labor Day weekend, hopefully everyone is enjoying
and hopefully resting a little bit, it's great
to have you here on The JMOR
Tech Talk show.
We have a really great show with you.
We're actually on a brand new streaming platform,

(01:32):
OneStream Live.
Hopefully, this will be working a lot better
than the one we've been using.
So really, really grateful everybody for coming.
And I just want to welcome everyone.
If this is your very first time coming
to the show, again, welcome.
If you've come back many times, well, welcome
back.
Thanks so much for coming back.
Really do appreciate that more than you know.

(01:53):
Of course, if you didn't know, you can
always catch The JMORTech Talk show
as well as all of our other great
shows by visiting BelieveMeAchieve.com.
All right, guys.
If you're thirsty, oh, I got my RO
water here.
If you're thirsty, feel free to go get

(02:15):
yourself some water, maybe a cookie, maybe a
snack, maybe some fruit, whatever you like.
Feel free to do that, all right, guys?
So again, a very big welcome, everyone.
Welcome to The JMOR Tech Talk show.
Your go-to source for everything happening at
the crossroads of technology, innovation, for everything you

(02:40):
need in every day of your life.
Each week, I uncover the stories that matter
most from breakthroughs to pressing AI issues, privacy,
health, and digital rights, and so much more,
guys.
So again, it is great to be with
you here.

(03:01):
And technology is always moving, right?
It's moving very fast.
But here, you're always going to get the
insight, clarity, and of course, the big picture
perspective.
And I think that's a very important thing
that you need to know so you can
stay ahead, be safe, be protected.
Oh, who am I?
I'm John C.
Morley, a serial entrepreneur, video producer, graduate student,

(03:26):
engineer marketing specialist, and a lot more, plus
a passionate lifelong learner.
And it is my privilege and pleasure to
be here as your host and also your
coach.
So thank you so much for tuning in
once again to The JMOR Tech Talk
show.
You can catch this show every single Friday.

(03:46):
We added a new feature, by the way.
If you guys are trying to find us
online, well, you can now find us very
easily by going to the jmor.com website.
And once you do that, you can actually
go to social and then go to the
JMOR.COM basically ,Tech Talk show live page.

(04:07):
You can watch us live right from the
site, which is really, really cool.
I know you guys will definitely enjoy that.
So if you can't reach into YouTube or
other places, I know some of you are
seeing us on cable TV, which we're really
grateful for our providers that have chosen to
air our content.
We're really very grateful for that.

(04:27):
And so, you know, I think the most
important thing is, you know, what matters.
Right.
And a lot of the breakthroughs in AI,
like we talked about.
Right.
And about, you know, what do you need
to know in your life to stay safe,
to stay secure?
Because things are moving at lightning speeds.
And hopefully I give you the clarity so
that you can get that big picture again,

(04:49):
perspective that you need to stay ahead of
the curve.
And I think that's the most important thing.
Technology is always evolving day in and day
out.
All right.
So I try to break it down for
you and give you the things that you
want to know.
I'm very passionate about tech.
And also about learn and over the years,

(05:11):
I've helped businesses and individuals harness technology to
transform their work and lives.
But this show isn't about gadgets or headlines.
It's about understanding how innovation impacts people and
communities and, of course, our future.
And my goal is simple, to inspire you,

(05:35):
to inform you and to empower you with
the knowledge that truly makes a difference in
your life and everyone else's life.
Not to say we won't have gadgets on
the show, but the show is not all
about gadgets.
I want to give people a purpose and
explain, like, you know, what the show can
do for their lives.
So this week is a great week.

(05:56):
Every week's a great week.
This week's tech stories are amazing.
First one is AI joins the NFL, the
National Football League.
Microsoft actually is the partner that is powering
smarter plays and faster decisions.
You know, just a few weeks ago, we
were talking about the fact that next year,

(06:18):
the the National Baseball League having a robot
umpires, which they're currently testing.
So the NFL is entering a new era
as Microsoft deepens its AI partnership, bringing cloud
powered insights right to the sidelines.
So coaches will soon be making decisions backed

(06:42):
by real time analytics while players will gain
performance feedback instantly.
It's not just about muscle, guys.
It is a lot more.
It's about the data, the intelligence that's shaping
the game.
And this collaboration shows that AI is no

(07:03):
longer confined to the offices or the labs.
It's taking center stage at the field, rewriting
what strategy looks like in professional sports.
Now, you might be saying to me, John,
you know, how can this help?
And that's a really great question.
So, you know, the fact that they can
analyze plays, AI can look at things.

(07:25):
I was talking to a company not too
long ago, was actually a guest on one
of my shows, and they were telling me
about their technology and how they have this
pitching system that Yankees have bought and other
teams have bought that play baseball in the
professional league.
And even some people that play professionally have
bought it for their home.

(07:46):
And so what it does is it allows
you to basically kind of get the let's
say the cheat code on how to pitch
someone.
You can pitch like someone.
And so by getting that, you can now
have that practice that you don't get a
chance to be in front of.

(08:06):
So it uses AI and it can keep
growing and changing as the models change.
But the way they have it now is
you pick the pitcher that you want to
have pitch you and you get your batters
up and you hit.
And the system will not only allow you
to do that, but will actually analyze how
well you hit.

(08:26):
It'll give you guidance on what you can
do.
So that's just one thing.
So AI in sports is helping with a
lot of things like we talked about sports
recruitment.
It's talking to us now about safety in
sports.
It's talking about the calls because we're saying
that sometimes humans make a mistake when they
make the calls.
I think it's a good idea that they're

(08:47):
doing these things, but I think it should
not remove the human from the loop.
And that is the problem that I see
with a lot of this technology.
I don't care whether you're in baseball, whether
you're in football, whether you're in soccer.
We heard from the football season with, you
know, the Super Bowl where they had, you

(09:08):
know, the 360 vision and they were able
to get some more analytics.
And this is just scratching the surface, folks.
We're going to get a lot more data
on the player, things like how likely he
is or she is to get injured and
a lot more stuff.
So this data is very valuable.

(09:29):
And, you know, data is not good and
data is not bad, just like computers are
not good.
They're not bad.
But I will tell you something.
It's how you choose to use this data
that actually makes it, you know, viable in
your life.
And I think that's something that a lot
of people don't realize is that if we
use data for the right reasons, OK, and

(09:51):
we use it to help people, then guess
what?
We've used data to move our society forward.
There's some people that use data and well,
they destroy data, right?
That's a that's a very, you know, that's
a very, very big problem.
Our second story is another great one.
The Microsoft headquarter protests, I'm not sure if

(10:11):
you've heard about this.
Well, 18 people were recently arrested over the
Israel ties.
And it was at Microsoft's Redmond campus.
The tension boiled over as protesters, including employees,
set up a liberated zone is what they
call it, quote unquote, liberated zone.
And that's pretty cool.

(10:32):
Demanding an end to contracts with Israel and
the police eventually cleared the camp, arresting, as
I said, 18 people.
But the bigger story is the growing pressure
on tech giants to align their focus, their
business, their missions with ethical responsibility, technology.

(10:54):
And, you know, you have to realize whether
we're talking about computers, whether we're talking about
AI, all this tech doesn't exist in a
vacuum.
And this protest is a stark reminder to
all of us that how companies use their
tools and who they work with has global

(11:16):
consequences.
And that can actually shape geopolitical influences.
Right.
And so I think a lot of times
we think about what Microsoft's doing and some
of things like this.
Microsoft's a company just like Google and Amazon
and many other publicly traded companies.
A lot of times they look at what's
best for their bottom line, for their pocket.

(11:37):
But I've always been under the premonition that
if you do that and you don't care
about other people, even though you might make
more money in the long run, you're actually
going to burn yourself and other people and
they're not going to want to work with
you.
And I think that's a really important thing.
I was talking to a client just the
other day and they're saying, John, I really
don't like that person.
OK.

(11:58):
And doing what I do in business in
the tech world, I always try to be
very professional.
I said, I understand.
Well, you know, we will definitely clean this
up and make this a lot better and
fix everything.
And a lot of people, when they hear
that.
It's one thing to hear something, but then
when you deliver the results, like, oh, my
gosh, this is working.

(12:19):
So today I was designing a mesh, which
is a type of Wi-Fi.
And I spent time calculating, making sure the
places were correct, checking the positioning, thinking if
we had to do extra backhauls, like bringing
wires up and something really cool, which I
want to share with you guys, and I'll
share it on another show as well.

(12:39):
It's called Mocha.
And that's media over basically over coax Mocha,
M-O-C-A, there's Mocha 2.0,
2.5, now 3.0 that goes up
to like 10, 10 gigs.
So where did this come from?
So a lot of the cable companies, I

(13:00):
think Verizon had started this.
They weren't the ones that pioneered it, but
they started using it.
So what happens is, let's say so many
of you out there might have Fios and
so they make you use their router, unfortunately.
But I got to tell you something, you
don't have to use their router, OK?
They charge $50 if you have one, and

(13:21):
then if you have the extra, another $50.
But here's the thing about the way their
network works.
They are extenders.
They're not a mesh network.
You can't put the same name.
So that's a problem, right?
But that's how their system works.
And there's these big clunky boxes.
And if they get a sink, well, then
they really don't work.
So the way it works is you'll have

(13:43):
something called your ONT, OK?
I don't know if you guys are familiar
with an ONT, but Verizon puts ONTs in,
Optum puts ONT fiber boxes in.
And so what you probably ask me, what
is an ONT?
And that's a great question.
So an ONT is basically Optical Network Termination

(14:04):
Box.
So you can have an ONT connecting into
your modem.
But the ONT I'm talking about is the
one outside your house.
So there's the one with the fiber.
Then there's also a coax.
Now, what Verizon does is kind of interesting.
So they give you this one box.
Well, they don't give it to you.
You kind of pay for it or you
rent it per month.
So one box sits basically usually in your

(14:27):
basement or somewhere.
And then they have a backhoe or another
line going up.
So what they do to make this really
easy is they take the connection from the
back of, let's say, their ONT and they
plug in the Cat 5e, Cat 6 cable.
And then they take the coax connection on
the back of their router and they feed

(14:48):
that into one of the connections off of
your splitter.
What does that do?
That basically pumps in the Ethernet signal that's
coming from that router and pushes it through
your whole house's coax system.
So why do they do this, you might
want to ask.
Great question.

(15:08):
The reason they do this is that everything
they do is on the Internet, especially all
the Fios TVs and features and let's say
on-demand DVD, et cetera, Netflix.
So you can get everything from basically Internet
right built in.
So what they do is every single one

(15:28):
of your coax jacks in your house now
is basically backfed with Internet.
So that's what that device is doing.
Internet's coming in and then Internet is getting
pushed out of the coax cable and it's
getting pushed out.
So why do I say this to you?
So maybe, you know, you want to replace
their router and put your own.
All you have to do is make sure

(15:49):
that if you have Fios, great.
If not, you have to switch it over
to the ONT so you can get the
cable to come in on the Cat 5e
or Cat 6 connection.
So you just plug it in the back
of your router, pretty simple.
Then all you do is you take the,
if you don't have one, you have to
get a Mocha adapter, usually $50 to $100.
And then you take that and you take

(16:11):
one end that was on the Verizon back
of their router and you plug it into
the Mocha.
You take the other one where it says
network and you basically plug that into another
port onto your device.
That cable is already plugged into your splitter.
And now you've just backfed Ethernet into your
whole house.
So what does this do for you?

(16:32):
Well, maybe you have a room where you
need Ethernet, or maybe you need to put
another access point and they're too far.
It's supposed to 40, basically 40 feet is
what they recommended.
Sometimes it'll work with a little more.
But what happens is if you have it
backfed or what they call backholed, you can
do it through wireless or you can do
it through coax where you can put another

(16:54):
Mocha adapter around, right?
And so that Mocha adapter basically brings the
Ethernet right to that point.
Kind of like a cat five, cat six
connection.
So in their set-top boxes, their set
-top boxes use Ethernet, but they have a
Mocha converter built right in to take it
right to Ethernet, which is pretty cool.

(17:15):
So yes, you can get rid of their
boxes.
It's not hard.
And so that'll save you some money and
the routers that you get are going to
be much better.
Like the NETGEAR Mesh routers are much, much
better.
You will pay a few pennies for those
routers like the Orbeez.
Now, if you have a home that's quite

(17:37):
a few thousand square feet, you're not going
to just want a simple NETGEAR that's non
-mesh.
So mesh allows the signals to go over.
I know I kind of went over and
I kind of took a tangent there, but
I want to explain that to people to
let you know that you don't have to
be trapped with Verizon or your cable companies
and you now have basically a whole house
wired for Ethernet.

(17:58):
That's pretty powerful, isn't it, guys?
I know.
All right.
Well, Excel Copilot, AI now cleans and basically,
in short, summarizes and explains data in plain
English.
This is really cool.
So Microsoft Excel's Copilot may be one of

(18:18):
the most revolutionary workplace upgrades in years that
we're going to see.
By allowing users to simply type requests in
plain English, like summarize sales trends or explain
this formula, the software does the heavy lifting
instantly.
It's like having a data analyst built into

(18:40):
your spreadsheet.
Pretty cool, right?
So this move democratizes data and makes you
not trapped by it.
So basically taking, you know, the complex analysis
process and making it accessible to anyone, even
if you don't have Excel skills, not just

(19:01):
the experts that can do it right, but
fundamentally changing how businesses can work with information.
Remember, I just talked about it in the
sports arena, right?
So data is going to be the points
to whether businesses make money or lose money.
We all know that, right?

(19:21):
Like your general ledger.
If you're in the red, you're not making
money.
If you're in the black, great.
So you have to realize that your data
is what's going to help you get to
the next point in your business.
And so data is something we have to
look at, whether we're talking about social media,
whether we're talking about, we could be talking

(19:41):
about a lot of different things, guys, and
by talking about these different things, we can
say that with this data, we can make
decisions that will allow us to be more
resilient, will allow us to be more profitable,
but by looking at trends, so whether we're
talking about social media posts, which we do

(20:03):
all the time, we look to see when
are our posts getting engagement.
If they're getting engaged in a certain times,
guess what?
We post back.
Now, do we do this by hand?
No, we have algorithms now that do that
for us.
And they analyze when it is the best
time to post.
And then we post at those times.
Pretty cool, right?
So, um, I think, you know, something like

(20:24):
what Microsoft is doing is interesting.
My only concern is the data staying locally,
or is it going up to the cloud
or the server?
Now I know I was having a conversation
with Co, uh, Microsoft Co-Pilot.
And, uh, I don't know if I can
get Co to join us tonight.
I can see, uh, don't have a lot
of notice to see if I can get

(20:45):
Co-Pilot to join us, but let's see
if I can get Co-Pilot to join
us, if I can, otherwise I'll get Co
-Pilot on another show.
Uh, and so, um, it's pretty interesting.
So if I come over here and I'll
just go right here and I'll go to
my Co-Pilot.
Let's see here.

(21:06):
Hello there, Co-Pilot.
I don't know if she hears me.
Okay.
Hello there, Co-Pilot.

(21:28):
She might be sleeping.
Uh, like I said, the service is not
a hundred percent accurate.
What I'm probably going to do is I'm
probably going to run Co-Pilot on another
computer and then, um, have it answer back.
That's probably the easiest thing to do to
make, to make that work.
But Microsoft's Co-Pilot, you could kind of
hear the voice come in there.
So I will tell you this.

(21:49):
Um, it has a very upbeat personality.
Uh, but a lot of the suggestions that
it gives, well, they're very rudimentary.
There's nothing AI about it.
I mean, it's kind of cool to talk
to, um, you know, um, Co, I call
her Co for short.
And again, when I thank her for her
help, she says, Oh, I'm not a her.

(22:10):
I'm not a him.
I'm just Co-Pilot.
I have no gender.
And that was an interesting thing, but I
just thought, I thought I would kind of,
I thought I would share that with you.
So, um, I don't know if you guys
know about traveling.
Um, I have a clear when I go
to the airport.
So now they've made a little bit easier,
but still the clear system is not as

(22:31):
quick as it used to be.
I guess they're getting more people on board.
Now they've changed the process.
They've upgraded their terminals.
Why they almost got sued.
I think they did.
And so they were upgrading things so that
they will be less likely to have any
kind of vulnerabilities in them, sharing data, et
cetera.
So, um, I remember going there last time
and I gotta tell you, I wait a

(22:52):
long time and I said that I said,
if I pay all this money to go
through a system, I want to go through
a quickly, like it should be quicker than
being online, right?
I mean, I would think that's, that's what
it's about.
And I think that's a big problem.
Um, when you pay this money and you
have to wait, so check this out guys,
Seattle's new AI eGates, uh, passing the transportation

(23:15):
security administration in three to six seconds with
catch this facial recognition.
Now imagine this clearing security at the airport
or maybe at a ball game or maybe
a concert in seconds.
That's right.
There's no fumbling for your IDs or tickets
that you lost, you know, somewhere or left

(23:36):
home.
That's the promise of Seattle Tacoma new airport,
AI powered eGates, which use facial recognition to
speed travelers through checkpoints in as little as
they claim three seconds.
Um, so it rolled out ahead of the
2026 FIFA world cup, um, pilot program, and

(24:00):
it could revolutionize air travel nationwide, but wait,
everyone.
While efficiency improves critics are warning about the
privacy trade offs.
I would be too of handing over biometric
data freely, sparking ongoing debates about convenience versus

(24:23):
freedom.
I always say, you know, we have security
or we have tyranny.
And so a lot of times people want
to do things because it's convenient.
If we do things that are convenient and
they don't necessarily help us and they could
potentially put us out for a risk, why
do we want to do that?
Um, I'll give you a perfect example.

(24:45):
Um, many of you will go to events
and they'll ask if your email to enter.
You'll to enter a contest.
So I typically say, okay, uh, great.
I will prepare a dummy email at my
domain, something like trade show X, Y two,
uh, Oh nine one five, two, five at

(25:06):
our domain.com.
And what I typically do is I leave
it up for that time.
And then within a few months after I
kill that whole email address, why do I
do that?
Because a lot of these people think that
now they've got their email, my email, and
that they own me.
Well, I get a lot of other places
that spam comes through.
So we have some great systems that we've

(25:28):
installed to mitigate this.
And, um, there was a time guys, when
I was getting a couple of hundred spams
a day.
Now we're able to maybe get about, Ooh,
one or two a week.
And here's what they do.
They go through, we use something called a
system that verifies human, uh, viability.

(25:48):
So they take the time to go through
it as a live human being.
They may be have gotten my email in
the very beginning on a paper that I
published.
I don't do that anymore, but the very
beginning I had my email published many, many
years ago, never changed it.
A lot of people figure out, huh, this
is the company.
This is the guy's name.
Let me try this.
And this probably goes through the event algorithms

(26:10):
that do that for you.
So now what I do, uh, I get
a lot from investment companies.
I will go into our system and say,
okay, now you don't want to respond to
those emails.
Like, you don't want to say, Hey, you
know, please remove it.
Don't even bother talking to these people, just
go into your filters, add that.
So I can either add that specific person,
or I just add the whole company's domain.

(26:32):
And when I do that, I can add
them either to a white list, which I'm
definitely going to take them off of.
I can add them to the ignore list,
which means it's going to ignore all email.
Or the third thing is I can send
them to the blacklist, uh, filter.
What the blacklist filter does is it takes
their information and sends a message back and
saying, Hey, uh, just want to let you

(26:52):
know, uh, you've been blocked from emailing this
domain.
Hopefully they'll get the message.
The problem with that sometimes is if they
have blocked you from responding, then you'll get
a message saying that it can't respond back
to that server or they use an invalid
email address or some nonsense like that.
So what I do is I create an
email address and it's disposable, right?

(27:13):
A lot of people do that with phone
numbers through like burner and different other companies
like text talk.
They buy a number and then they, they,
they expire it.
Right.
And so that's a good thing.
But the problem with that is it means
you can hide behind it.
So if you're using a number and let's
say you were doing something that wasn't ethical,
and then you just let that number burn

(27:35):
in like, I don't know, 24 hours, uh,
48 hours or something, but now they're requiring
a little more validation to make sure that
you're not a bad guy, that you're not
doing money laundering, that you're not doing something
like bad, right.
Uh, drugs, et cetera, right.
Or anything else that could consider to be
a criminal type thing.

(27:55):
And so when we think about all this
stuff out there, um, it's made it very
easy for bad actors to get a hold
of information and contact you.
So getting back to this thing with the
email.
So what I do is I block them.
You probably say, gee, I should probably unsubscribe.
Don't even waste your time on subscribing.

(28:17):
Just block them.
Okay.
And again, they have found my email by
using some algorithm or some tricks by AI.
And that's a bad use of AI, right?
And so they would say something like, Hey,
I got one the other day.
Hey, I was just following up with you.
Just wanting to see, uh, when you wanted

(28:39):
to get a, you know, some personal virtual
assistance, I don't respond, these people craft these
things.
And this is something you should not do.
This is something that will get your reputation
with me.
And so many people, it'll put you from
here and just drop you down to like
the bottom of my shoes.
Because anybody that's going to crawl like that.

(28:59):
Um, I know a couple of times I've
sent people courses that, Hey, you know, um,
here's a course you should take one of
mine.
It's free.
Uh, take it and it'll, maybe it'll help
you prevent breaking another bridge.
And a lot of people, they don't care.
It's a numbers game for them.
Right.
So that that's an important thing, but I
am concerned about this thing with the airport,
because if the data falls into the wrong

(29:21):
hands, okay, you might say, John, what the
heck does it matter?
Somebody gets my facial recognition.
Plenty.
So even though Microsoft and Apple say that
they really don't save anything, I don't believe
that.
They say that they store everything on the
device.
I don't know if I believe them a
hundred percent.

(29:41):
They've lied to us before.
They could be telling the truth and they
may not.
So if I use facial recognition on the
phone, no big deal.
If I use them, my laptop, fine.
But whenever I use it with something else,
like let's say, use it for financial.
I make sure there's another authentication there to
make sure that I'm able to, you know,
uh, get in with that.
Not just one thing.

(30:02):
And I think those are big things.
People want the convenience, right?
Um, I don't know if you guys know
the story, but do you know why?
And this is probably a great question.
Why is it?
It's a great question.
Why do we have only four digit, uh,
pins for our, for, for bank cards?

(30:22):
Why?
So four digit pins, they're a legacy standard
originating from the first ATMs chosen for convenience
as they're easy for users to remember while
technologies advance to support longer pins.
The four digit standard, uh, balances security with
convenience by offering enough combinations, uh, 10,000
to deter casual guessing while remaining, uh, manageable

(30:46):
for human memory.
The problem is you can easily memorize a
four digit pin.
I don't think you guys know why telephone
numbers are seven or 10 digits.
It's because most average minds that don't do
extra memory work will be able to remember
plus or seven or 10 digits.
And so that's why they made that, uh,

(31:07):
that, because most people can do that very
easily.
You can chunk things like your credit card
number and things like that.
But the reason that it hasn't changed is
because of people's pushback and convenience.
I'd like to see that if we're going
to do facial recognition, that we have a
pin plus facial recognition on logging into my
accounting system, whether I'm remote or in the

(31:30):
office, I have three forms of authentication.
First thing I have is a password and
I have a, uh, a biometric.
Okay.
And then on top of that, I have
a code, which is verified through a face
ID that I have to then click and
approve.
It all has to be done within 20
seconds from each, each action.

(31:52):
So you don't have a lot of time,
but I think our society has gotten so
lazy to want to do everything now and
not be tied on security.
They're like, oh, I don't care.
We'll just do it this way.
And that's a very, very bad habit to
get into, you know, lazy.
I don't know if you guys know this,
but big tech bets on AI trillions are

(32:14):
at stake.
Now tariffs are pale in comparison to what's
going on.
Forget the tariffs you're complaining about and trade
wars.
The real battleground is AI.
See tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and
Amazon are investing billions, not millions, billions into,
and structure, uh, infrastructures and structured data centers

(32:38):
that, uh, we'll use AI and development for
them.
Um, and missing the AI wave could mean
losing everything in the next digital revolution.
And the scale of these investments guys reveals
how central AI has become, not just to
tech, but to the global economy itself, whoever

(33:00):
leads in AI will hold the keys to
future innovation and the influence that comes with
it.
Now, here's something I want to share with
you.
I don't think you guys know that Amazon
was trying to buy, uh, what was it?
Roomba, the robot company, right?
iRobot, Roomba, Roomba.
So what happened was we got to push
back on it.
What they were doing is they wanted to
get this, this ownership, because if they got

(33:23):
a Roomba into your home, okay.
And now the new ones, they can grab
maps very easily of like your whole location
and what they were going to do with
that data.
You have to remember, it's all internet based
now.
That device back then, they weren't talking through
it.
Now the Roombas are all communicating things back
for other things like usage, anonymous data to

(33:46):
help them make it better, but also they're
sharing data, like what it has in the
house.
So is that pictures?
Is that pathway?
It could be anything.
And they're sharing that with places that could
potentially try to hit you up for money.
Like a security company, putting an alarm system,
knowing how many, uh, motion detectors, uh, how

(34:08):
many doors, et cetera.
Uh, maybe it's an interior decorator.
Maybe it's a flooring company, right?
And, or maybe it's an appliance company or
a plumber.
And so all these things can help them
decide, are you a viable candidate?
You know what they're going to do?
Well, if they, if they, they didn't get
the approval, they basically would have allowed them

(34:31):
to share these maps.
So anonymous, well, they say anonymously, but yet
you would then give them my email address.
Okay.
So really it wasn't anonymous.
So I'm glad that they block that because
that would have been a really, really big
problem.
And ladies and gentlemen, the US eases AI

(34:51):
chip rules.
Nvidia's chip flow, um, to China and the
tensions are simmering.
The US has loosened restrictions on Nvidia's H20
AI chips for China, signaling a strategic shift
in the ongoing tech rivalry.
While Washington hopes that this keeps American influence

(35:15):
intact.
Beijing remains wary, calling the chips, a potential
security risk.
This move highlights just how delicate the global
balance is.
Every policy change, every shipment can ripple across
industries and reshape the geopolitical tech landscape all

(35:38):
by the actions of just one company.
And here's one you're going to love the
Apple watch rival.
Well, they had an issue with a patent,
a situation.
So the blood oxygen, uh, feature returns after
the severe patent battle, which lasted several months
of legal challenges.

(35:59):
Apple is restoring the blood oxygen detection feature
for Apple watch users in the U S
models like series nine, 10, and the ultra
two will regain access with the new watch
O S 11.6.1 update.
Now this isn't just about one feature folks.

(36:20):
It's about the growing role of wearables in
healthcare.
Apple's win demonstrates how big tech is determined
to push deeper into the medical space where
innovation is tied directly to quality of our
life.
And so you might say, gee, John, what's
the big deal about the oxygen blood monitor

(36:40):
big, because if they get that proof of
concept done, guess what's going to happen, they're
going to get another proof of concept done.
And once that happens, they're going to have
more done.
And once they get a couple, well, they're
going to own that whole space.
And Apple said a while back, they want
to not direct it indirectly.
They want to own that whole wellbeing space.
They want the medical space.

(37:01):
Let's face it.
India, India bands, a RMG, a 23 billion
gaming industry is shaken as giants were shut
down.
So India is sweeping ban on real money.
Games has rocked the core of the gaming
world industry leaders, like a dream sports, MPL

(37:26):
and Zoopy shutting down the paid operations.
They have devastating, a $23 billion market.
Now, while free and casual games are currently
surviving, the decision is forcing a massive reset
of the gaming industry in one of the
world's biggest markets, the band raises tough questions

(37:48):
like how should governments balance innovation, financial risk,
and personal freedom in digital entertainment.
And I think this is something that is
not just coming up today, but it's coming
up every single time that we get involved
with more convenience and more technology.
And ladies and gentlemen, nuclear workers denied care.

(38:09):
I mean, this is pitiful.
700,000 plus sick.
Trump decides to freeze claims.
And for decades, nuclear workers powered America's defense
line.
Now, many are suffering from cancer and other
illnesses, and it's all linked to radiation exposure.

(38:32):
Over 700,000 have filed claims for medical
care and compensation, but the process has been
paused, leaving lives hanging in the balance.
And these workers guys have risked everything for
national security, yet find themselves abandoned in their
time of the greatest need they have.
This story is sobering and a reminder of

(38:54):
the human cost I know behind technological advancement.
And it's a problem, guys.
I remember talking to somebody.
It wasn't a friend of mine.
It was an acquaintance that I met either
at, I think, an airport or some public
place.
I was traveling.
And he was just out of maybe just
out of high school.
I had just graduated college and we were

(39:17):
just talking and I said, how are you
doing?
So I hate life.
And I said, hey, he's oh, yeah, I
said, I said, I'm John.
I said, I'm Migo.
I said, nice to meet you.
He said, I hate life.
I said, did you graduate?
He said, I graduated high school, but I
didn't go to college.
OK, I said, are you are you working?
Yeah, I'm working.
I have a lousy job.
Oh, I said, may I ask?

(39:40):
I don't mean to be personal, but I
just yeah, you can ask.
He said, it's it's it's terrible.
Well, I said, what's so terrible?
He said, I work with rods for a
living.
You work with rods for a living?
Yeah.
What is that?
Well, you see, I work at a company
that uses rods.
I still don't know what he's talking about.
Anyway, these are nuclear rods and they're used

(40:03):
to sanitize, let's say, surgical type of disposables,
needles and other disposable type things and non
disposable.
So I said, so you wear gloves and
you're working in a radiation room.
He says worse.
He says, I move these things.
Sometimes I don't even put gloves on.
I said, aren't there safeties like that around?

(40:23):
He says, yep, John, the rods are always
active.
So you're kidding.
Yeah, they're always active.
And I have to go in and change
the rods.
So the system, then what happens?
It pulls in like we're in this whole
fence thing.
So everyone else is like safe.
But he's like in the area that's like
in the trenches.
And I said, that's terrible.
He said, yeah.
He says, I got paid a lot of

(40:43):
money, but unfortunately I signed a contract and
I mean, I could quit, but the thing
is right now I've already gotten a couple
of kinds of cancer and it's terrible.
He says, I can't sue them to give
me more money because I may have six
months to two years to live.
And I said, oh my gosh.
He said, yeah.
He says, you just can't sign things for
money.

(41:03):
I mean, and there was a guy that
was just before him.
Then I said, what happened to him?
He said he quit.
Apparently he was very aware of the situation.
And as soon as he noticed kind of
what was going on, he just quit.
And I said, that's terrible.
He said, yeah.
He says, and I, I, he said, I

(41:24):
can't have kids.
I can't do anything.
He said, it's all because this is like
damaged my body.
I said, that is terrible.
He said, yeah, they paid me a lot
of money, but what good is it?
And I said, that's terrible that a company,
and I'm not going to give you the
name, but it was a big medical company.
And this is how all medical companies do
the sterilization.
The thing is when they sterilize this way
and then they get, let's say they leave

(41:46):
for the warehouse, they are completely safe.
Once they leave, the radiation leaves immediately.
Like as soon as it's done, like within
seconds, it's safe to touch them.
But he has to touch these live rods
when they have to be changed.
And that was just really pitiful.
God, it's really pitiful.
And Nvidia CEO in Taupei with the chip

(42:08):
war, it's escalating with TSMC.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation and the US-China
talks, which are continuing on.
So the Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's visit to
Taopei isn't just routine travel.
It's a pivotal moment in the global chip
war.
With new revolutionary chips in development and the

(42:31):
US-China tensions, they're running very high.
Nvidia's strategy could reshape AI race.
And again, the geopolitical infrastructure of the world
talks with TSMC may, guys, it just may
determine not only Nvidia's future, but also how
supply chains, innovation and diplomacy unfold in years

(42:56):
ahead.
Again, I said that geopolitical, the stakes couldn't
be any higher, folks, right now.
And this is a very, very big problem.
Speaking about problems, Italy is outraged, I should
say the least, but they're really upset and
I would be, too.
A secret Facebook group shared non-consensual photos,
32,000 exposed in Italy.

(43:18):
Outrage has erupted after a secret Facebook group
of 32,000 members was caught sharing non
-consensual photos of women by men.
Though, this is important to understand, a lot
of people don't realize, you know, what happened.
The group, the passing, the damage is done.

(43:40):
Even though Meta had attempted and did shut
them down, it's too late.
The scars for these victims and the growing
debate, it's there for life.
And it's all about their digital rights.
Meta didn't step in soon enough, right?
They didn't want to be political.
This case shows that online fun can be

(44:02):
virtual, it can cause violence, and that platforms
must do more to protect people from abuse
in the digital world.
Now, I'm not just talking about minors, I'm
talking about adults, too.
They all have rights, like deepfakes, etc.
And the UK had a very big backlash
with the watchdogs slamming the Met police over

(44:26):
live face scans.
London's metropolitan police are under fire after watchdogs
criticized their use of live facial recognition technology.
While authorities argue it helps prevent crime, privacy
advocates warn it creates a surveillance state atmosphere,

(44:48):
potentially breaching human rights.
And this controversy raises a vital question.
What is that in the quest for safety?
How much freedom are we willing to sacrifice?
Security or is it tyranny?
What's this all about, guys?
So I think we really got to be
careful about that.
And I know the summer is kind of

(45:08):
coming to an end and there's a big
heat alert, but it's not just about protecting
you.
It's about protecting your iPhones from frying in
the rising temperatures, including your Androids.
So with these record breaking temps, hopefully they're
cooling soon.
The heat waves can definitely cause permanent damage
to your smartphones.
So exposure to high temperatures can fry the

(45:30):
batteries, can slow the processors and even permanently
damage components and devices in the phone.
Experts suggest simple steps like removing phone cases,
avoiding direct sun.
I keep mine out of the sun.
I put it under a towel.
Remember, if you put it under a towel,
remember to make sure the towel doesn't get
hot.
OK, otherwise it's going to be like not

(45:52):
and powering them down when they're really overheating.
A little prevention can help your digital lifeline
running smoothly all summer.
And I think this is important to know
because you want to have this running.
I know the summer is almost over, but
I think if I know one time I

(46:12):
was actually in Jersey and I had my
phone with me and I was in our
pool and the phone shut down, it got
so hot I didn't realize it, but it
was so hot.
I mean, the phone, I could almost get
burned by touching the phone and it was
in a case.
OK, so these are very important in real
life things, you know, guys.

(46:33):
And there are new school rules.
17 states, including New York, New Jersey, ban
or restrict student cell phones.
As a new school year begins, as I
said, 17 states, that's New York, New Jersey,
plus Washington, D.C., are rolling out very
strict cell phone rules.

(46:55):
What are they?
Students may now face locker storage requirement or
bell to bell bands designed to boost focus
in class.
So they don't want you to have your
cell phone on you when you're in class
time.
So.
They don't even want you using it on
break time, they want you to basically not

(47:17):
use your cell phone at all until you
leave for the day, they don't want parents
calling and things like that, nothing.
So while some praise the move as a
way to reduce distraction, others argue it strips
students of autonomy and adds unnecessary stress.
The thing, guys, is I think this is
important to understand is that as we think

(47:39):
about the unnecessary stress and we think about,
you know, what's going on, I think the
biggest challenge for a lot of people to
realize is that what's happening.
I mean, the fact that if they do
it once, you know, they're threatening to do
the bell to bell bands.
If they do it again, they're going to
confiscate it maybe for a day.
If they do it again, they confiscate it

(48:00):
for a week.
And if they do it the third time,
some schools are even confiscating the phones, not
returning to the students and returning them to
their parents.
So this shows just how deeply technology is
intertwined with our modern education system.
I mean, as I was mentioning before, you

(48:20):
know, I go to Montclair University.
I'm going there for my grad and MSCSAI
and then my Ph.D. And that I
have to tell you guys, if you're going
back to school and you're not in a
technology like we use something called Canvas, which
is our online system to see our grades,
there's no more report cards, turn our homework
in, see our syllabi, it's all done through

(48:41):
Canvas.
We have something called NEST, which is the
Network Education Student Transaction System.
Everything's all done online.
You register for courses online, you get your
parking permit online through the parking system.
I was there, I think it was about
a week ago as my class had ended
a week or two ago when my class

(49:02):
had ended.
And I noticed they put these, you know,
crosswalks in.
They get rid of all the crossing guards
because students are usually crossing guards.
So they had like the parking where the
parking garage is.
They had like two at one end, one
on one side of the street, one on
the other side of the street.
And then at this end, one on one
side of the street, one on the other
side of the street.
And I noticed that for the longest time,
you would just kind of hover your hand
over and they would just start, they would

(49:23):
start flashing the caution for like, I don't
know, maybe 15 seconds, enough time for you
to get across the street or 20 seconds.
Well, now I went there and I noticed
they did some planting.
So I waved my hand over the one
side and it didn't work.
So I went to the other side, I
waved my hand and it did work.
So obviously they probably cut a wire.
So it is powered by solar.

(49:44):
There's all solar cells.
OK, but the wire actually causes the system
to connect and actually network with the other
systems.
So something got messed up there.
Who knows?
They might have even knocked out the power.
Who knows?
Right.
But again, they're all powered by solar.
So something else had to go wrong there.

(50:05):
And so I decided I was going to
call it in.
So I called public safety, which is the
police, and they directed me to the facilities
people.
Well, the facilities people took my information, which
I filed on August 19th.
OK, it is now August 29th.
The issue is still not fixed.
How do I know this?

(50:27):
I logged into the facility management site.
Because when they sent me an email, I
noticed you could go for that.
Then I downloaded the facility app, which uses
service now.
And so now a student can use this
technology or port things like a light bulb
out.
And these are very good things to have,
because when you're in like a city, like

(50:48):
a school like this, everything is self-contained.
And if you don't understand that, well, then
it's like you can't get help anywhere.
If you have to send things to professors,
you use a system.
You know, when they send us an announcement,
it comes to a system.
Our attendance is done through a system.
It's all online.
So the university has mobile systems like Barefoot

(51:10):
Registration and all these systems talk back and
forth and it's a mess.
So they are trying to get rid of
all these systems and make it one system.
But they're in this project called Workday and
researching it.
But it's going to take some time before
they can do this, because you're talking about
something that's been going on for many, many
years.
And now they're trying to get rid of
all these band-aids and put them into

(51:31):
one system.
Plus all the training that has to go
in to do that.
You're asking a lot.
So technology, if you're going back to school,
whether you're going for a tech class or
not, you've got to be a little bit
computer savvy.
The books, well, they're not all in the
library.
My books are online.
They're electronic.
You do your homework online.

(51:53):
You submit it online.
I get my grades online.
You scan it, you take a picture, you
send it in to the professor, they grade
it.
So technology is important.
If you want to be able to do
certain things, you've got to realize that going
back to school, you've got to have some
technology proficiency.

(52:13):
I mean, just hands down.
I'm not going to lie to you.
If you don't have that, you're going to
become severely disadvantaged.
The library, if you want to rent, and
it's free for students, I want to, let's
say, reserve a room.
I have to go online and use their
LibCal, which is a national reservation system.

(52:34):
In fact, our local library in Franklin Lakes
just started using that for the buckle system
for the whole Bergen County.
And so I go online and put in
my student ID, my student username and password,
they call our CWID, our course wide ID
and our password.
And then we have to use Duo to
put in the pass the two-factor code.

(52:57):
And then we pick the room we want
in the library.
We pick the time, we click it, it
gives us a confirmation and we're good to
go.
But all these things require you to have
some bit of technology knowledge.
I'm not saying you've got to be an
expert, but if you're somebody that's going to
be like, oh, I don't know, I'm a
little bit computer-averse or I don't know

(53:20):
if I want to do that.
Well, you're going to be missing the boat
because everything in college, we have an app
called Engage, which is actually run by Campus
Labs.
It's a company that does it for all
colleges.
And so what they're going to start doing
soon is they're going to start putting out
events.
So they email you, but we use Engage,
which is an event, a platform where you
could check in events going on.
And I love to go to different social

(53:41):
events and they're all included with your tuition,
which is great.
They actually charge $160 a semester to cover
those things, which is kind of cool, guys.
You just go there.
And then so what I have on my
phone in my Apple wallet, I have a
couple of things.
I have my digital COVID card.
I also have my, we call it our,

(54:03):
basically our past for getting into events through
Campus Lab, which is, you know, which is
the event platform.
And I basically pull it up and I
show it and they scan it and they
can see I'm an active student.
And that's how that works.
So technology.
Oh, also, if you go and you want

(54:25):
to get something to eat, you've got to
use a kiosk.
Put your information in.
There is one dining room called Freeman Dining
Room.
And when you go to Freeman's Dining Room,
you pay to get in.
But there's some places you order from the
kiosk and then you get it from there.
There's another place, there's a bar and pizza
place in there.
And you don't go to the people and

(54:47):
order it.
You go to the kiosk and order it
or you order it on your phone.
They use Grubhub.
And so what happens with a lot of
these, like Grubhub and also things like GroupMe,
which you're probably familiar with, when you go
to the university to show that you're part
of the university and so you can show
up in the university, you can authenticate by
adding proof of you going to university by

(55:08):
them sending you an email to the university's
email.
And then you put that code in and
then GroupMe then says you're associated with Montgomery
State University.
Same thing happens with Grubhub.
I could not order, when I first got
there, when I Grubhub, I could not order
anything from Montgomery State University's pizza place until
I actually authenticated with Montgomery State University.

(55:32):
So I went there and I'm like, I
can't find this restaurant.
Like it just comes up.
Well, nowhere did they tell you that you
had to register first to tell it you're
with Montgomery State University so you could start
ordering on campus.
I mean, that seems like a pretty basic
thing, but nowhere did anybody say anything.
I remember the first day of class a

(55:54):
while back when I tried to get a
parking pass a couple of days before.
And so I'd registered on Thursday and I
tried to get a parking permit on Friday.
I couldn't get in the parking system.
The reason is very simple.
They told me that you can't get in
the system for like 48 to 72 hours.

(56:19):
So on the nick of the time, on
Monday, I literally registered, got my parking permit,
and that's all done electronically.
When you park, if you like, I have
a student night permit, which is for graduates.
My permit runs from four o'clock till
I think it's two in the morning.
And if you go on the weekends, then
it's good from like four o'clock till

(56:41):
two o'clock on on Monday morning.
So all these things you need to use
technology for the parking system.
Also, if you get there early, like let's
say I get there at three, I've got
to pay them like a dollar twenty five
by using the park app.
If I do not use the app, do

(57:02):
you know what happens?
They will issue me a ticket.
