Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Shrock Innovations presents the Midwest number one independent computer repair
company with service centers and Lincoln pall Maha a billion
des Moines and across the country via the Shrock Desk.
This is Compute.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
This microphones are helpful in the radio industry. Here is
no you don't Oh wow, we're This is already the
first live show of twenty twenty five, and we're already
off to an amazing start. I'm like, I feel like
I'm forgetting something. You know, it might be your microphone.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
You more on.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh guys, you're gonna need that for yeah, right, all
righty folks, welcome into Compute this. My name is Thor Schrock.
I'm the owner of the Schrock Innovations computer company and
not really qualified to do anything else. Four zero two
five to five eight eleven ten is the local number
to reach us on the program this morning. Also, you
can give us a call outside of the metro area
at eight eight eight two five zero two zero nine

(00:59):
to one. That number one more time is for four
oh two five five eight eleven ten or eight eight
eight two five zero two zero nine one. I want
to take a quick moment to welcome everybody in who's
watching live at Facebook dot com slash Shrock Innovations, those
of you watching the program right now, if you could.
I did remember to check the audio levels, so I
thought that's what I was forgetting, so I went back

(01:20):
and check that again just to make sure. But the
audio levels are good. And if you would go ahead
and click that like button, make sure that you that
you follow the Shrock Innovations page and everything else so
that you get all the updates when we go live.
It'll make it a lot easier for you to find
the live after Shock program as well. If you follow
us at Facebook dot com slash Schrock Innovations. Follows are

(01:40):
different than likes. You can follow a page and you
can like a post. So for those of you Boomers
out there you follow. My wife doesn't let me post anything.
I tried to do an Instagram reel the other day
and she was like, don't ever do that again. That
was awful. Don't ever do that again. You can't just
take a video and make it a reel for fun
or you have to like make a reel. Okay, well,

(02:02):
I don't know how to do that. I need to
hire like a teenage girl to come work at Shrock
and do that for us. First, it's Instagram that it'll
be TikTok. We can't wait to see the Thorn Shrock dance. Well,
you know, I mean if TikTok will be gone by then,
you know, I mean, if I put I forgot that,
procrastinate long enough, the problem will just go away. That's
that's my New Year's resolution. If we procrastinate long enough,
the problems just go away. Oh golly, folks. If you

(02:24):
missed the show last week, it was a fun one.
It was Thorstra Damis. Actually he maintained his all time
perfect prediction record in twenty twenty four. Every single prediction
came true, as they always do. He also laid five
rock solid predictions for twenty twenty five on you just
good stuff all the way around. If you miss that program,

(02:45):
there is no video of that show, so you're not
gonna find it on Facebook. You're not gonna find it
on our YouTube channel, you're not gonna find it on Rumble,
but you will find it at the Shrock Innovation's website.
You can pick up the audio at Shrocannovations dot com.
And here are those predictions for you. If you did
miss the show last week. It's a good one. You'll
definitely want to check that out coming up on the
program today. Core upgrades are taking on a life of

(03:09):
their own. This is something that we did during the
holiday special and it proved to be such a compelling
offering for so many short customers. I didn't realize so
many of you. You some of the computers you're using
right now are computers that I mean, I wouldn't make
my worst enemy use, and their computers that we built,

(03:30):
but we built them like fourteen years ago. Like, customers
are coming in for the Core upgrades and you said
you could upgrade any computer. Thump here it is my
two thousand and fourteen holiday special. What okay, we can
do that. Yeah, we might need to upgrade the hard
drive technology a little bit in it, because you know,
there's been three different types of hard drives since then.

(03:52):
And yeah, this, I can't believe you're still using this
hard drive from twenty fourteen. It's like a hand grenade
waiting to go off inside the computer. Have you not
check up? This is kind of through a ton of
those Core upgrades. So we have some information on that
today that the upgrades are not going away, but they
are changing a little bit for twenty twenty five. We're
gonna see an outlier year this year in new computer
sales as well as upgrade potentials because of the retirement

(04:16):
of Windows ten coming on October of twenty twenty five.
You got about nine months left before your Windows ten
computers are no longer safe to run. And I'm still
getting questions in my email from customers asking what do
I need to do to my Windows ten computers so
I can keep running Windows ten after October of twenty five,
And the answer is nothing. You can't run Windows ten

(04:36):
after October of twenty five and be safe. It's not
a matter of which anti virus product you choose, or
if you use a VPN or you know you can
take all of Of course, all those things will mitigate some
of the potential risks that are involved with running a
computer that long. But essentially what's going to happen is
in October, the second Tuesday of October, Microsoft will release

(04:57):
the final batch of patches four Windows ten, and on
October eleventh, every vulnerability that has been discovered up until
that point but held in the back pocket of a
bad guy until after the last pat The last patch
is ever made, will be released. So October eleventh is
when things start getting scary. So you figure for these

(05:18):
attacks to really get to you, you know who, You're
not doing that much with your computer. You know, you're
not online all the time, you're not downloading risky things.
Maybe it takes till November to get to you. So
maybe you got ten months. But if you have an
illusion that you're gonna continue using your Windows ten or
heaven forbid your Windows seven PC, you know any longer
than that, well you'll be It'll be a repeat customer,

(05:40):
that's for sure. You'll you'll repeat every single time you
get infected until you buy a new computer with Windows eleven.
A lot of people, you know, they still they're just
kind of visceral about it. I don't want to buy
Windows eleven. My Windows ten works fine. It's the same
thing we saw with Windows seven. My Windows seven works fine.
I don't want Windows ten. Same thing we saw with
Windows XP. My Windows XP works fine. I don't want
Windows seven, and so on and so forth. The world

(06:02):
marches on, Technology marches on. So we're going to talk
about that on the program today. Also, I found a
really interesting article because we've talked a lot about artificial
intelligence in the last year, and at the end of
last year we started to see the compelling use argument
which we were missing. The entire flipping holiday special. Hey
we're out to do holiday special. It's an AI capable computer.

(06:24):
We look at all the things that maybe someday you
can possibly do with it. Maybe it was super compelling. Right.
All we knew was that AI was going to be
part of our lives, and you want technology that can
perform and do AI tasks. Well, then right at the
end of the year, all of a sudden, we start
getting all the buzz about AI agents. They've been all

(06:44):
over Cees. AI agents are little programs essentially that use
artificial intelligence to do basic, repetitive tasks. Now, if you
think about your job, what you do every day, and
how many tasks that you perform that are repetitive. When
I get this email, I always forward it to this person.
When I get that email, I always reply to it

(07:05):
with this when I you know, when I have a
compute this program, I always upload it to YouTube. I
always upload it to rumble. The title is always compute
this space, then date of the program. The description is
something that thor wrote on Facebook that I can just
copy and paste. Then the show gets hacked into four
separate segments of two minutes or less to be used

(07:27):
as social media content on all the other social media
platforms except for TikTok, because I'm waiting to see if
they ban it before I invest anything in that. You know,
all that's a repetitive task. Guys. We have a guy
that spends four hours a week doing that. We can
get four hours a week of his time back. Now,
we're not going to fire the guy. We're just going

(07:47):
to find other things for him to do. There's a
whole stack of stuff to do. But he's got to
spend four hours a week doing the radio programs. Well
what if he didn't, What if we had an AI
agent to do that. So that was a really exciting
thing to talk about at the end of last year.
These ages that are going to come forward and do
a lot of the really boring work that you do
for you. Now, whenever we talk about AI, somebody out there,

(08:08):
I know you're listening to somebody's looking at the radio
right now saying and I don't want to use the
self checkout. It's like, no, you know, I don't want.
I want the cashier. I don't want the ATM, you know,
I want to go to the movies. I don't want
to stream it, you know. I want things to be
the way. It's kind of like the whole Windows XP,
Windows seven, Windows ten. I just want to stay with
what I have. I don't want change, especially in Nebraska.

(08:30):
I don't know what it is about Nebraska's Nebraskans do
not like to change anything. I mean, some of you
are still using Windows Live Mail from twenty twelve. It
was sunset in like twenty eighteen, and you're like, what
do you mean you can't make it work with Windows fourteen.
I'm sorry, I can't. So with all of that happening

(08:50):
in the background, what are the top five jobs at
the greatest degree of risk from artificial intelligence? If you're
in any of these five jobs, AI is something that
you should be very aware of because it's coming. For
these five jobs, I'm gonna give you the sixth one
as well, because the sixth one is really funny. It's
been in the news lately. Well it's not funny if

(09:11):
you have the job, but I mean it's it's it's
a repetitive computational task done over and over and over
again with the same rules easy to automate with AI.
Then I'm gonna give you the top five safest jobs.
And I think I was shocked by the safest job
in the in the United States, the safest occupation you
can have from AI, and we have a ton of

(09:32):
it in Nebraska and Iowa. So I mean, it's it's awesome.
Our worlds aren't gonna change very much, right, so that's
pretty good stuff. So we're gonna bring you those today
on the program as well. Also coming up on the show,
Samsung has a new type of screen that they're unveiling
at CES. It's a stretchable screen, and at first I
didn't understand. I was like, stretchable like you can flex it. No,

(09:53):
like stretchable like it can protrude toward you on demand.
I'm like, why in the world when anybody want that?
And then I started reading the use cases for it,
and I thought, oh my gosh, this is going to
be This is going to be really popular with a
lot of people when this eventually becomes you know, in
the public. I remember, you know, in the twenty tens

(10:15):
talking about how someday we'll have these screens that you
can roll up like a map or you can fold
and they're at CES right now and they're really cool,
but they're only like, you know, five by seven. They're
tiny little screens, but you know, someday they're going to
be in our devices and now here today I sit
here with a foldable screen on my smartphone, So you know,
it's pretty cool to see some of this technology come
out at CES and then no, it's going to take

(10:36):
you know, five ten years before it trickles down into
the actual ecosystem of what we use every day. But
the use cases for this stuff is it's pretty pretty amazing. Also,
there's a lot of really cool stuff at CES. CES,
by the way, for those of you who don't know,
is the Consumer Electronics Show. It happens every January in Vegas.
Every January, somebody says, thor are you going to CES?

(10:57):
And I say, no, CES. Literally, you pack up that
pack with snacks and survival equipment and you go to
a hotel in Las Vegas and then you spend the
entire day walking everywhere because there is no transportation because
it's all taken and it's every single every single hotel,
every single casino, every single auditorium, every single event center

(11:17):
is packed full of technology stuff that companies are showing off,
and you can go from a center to center to
center to event to event, go all day long, not
be any smarter than you were when you started, and
have really sore feet. So it doesn't sound that appealing,
especially when I can just read about the top five
things and the top five dumbest things. Well, I found
an article it's like, these are the top five things

(11:38):
from CEES and I'm reading through them, and one of
them stood out to me as one of the most
gosh awful stupid things I've ever heard of in my life. Like,
this is not new technology. This is like, this is
like when Hive had mahomes flakes. It's the same generic
corn flakes in a box. They just put mahomes picture

(11:59):
on the box. Mahomes flakes, buy them up. You know,
this is this is the Cees equivalent of mahomes flakes.
They don't taste like frosted flakes. They're not quite They're
not quite as frosted as frosted flakes, not quite. But
you know, they got mahomes picture on the box, and
you might, you know, win a super Bowl this year.
Again you never know, so you know through that last
game they're pretty hard, but ye know too soon. So anyway,

(12:23):
we got a lot of fun stuff planned for you
on the program today four zero two, five, five, eight
eleven ten. So we talked a little bit briefly about
the core up grades here at the start. I'm just
gonna touch on this to explain what a core upgrade is,
because that's probably the question I get most often, you know,
thor what is a core up grade? What do I get?
How much does it cost? How long does it take?
You know, all all those basic questions. So for those

(12:46):
of you out there, you don't have to have a
computer running Windows ten to do a core upgrade. You
just have to have a shock modular computer a desktop,
so not a laptop. We can't do core upgrades to laptops.
Laptops are set in stone, they're baked in they cannot
be upgraded. Desktops, on the other hand, can be upgraded
very easily. What we do when we do a core

(13:06):
upgrade is, you know, there's a lot of components in
your desktop that you keep that you don't change out
many times, your hard drive, your power supply, your fans,
your DVD drive, your backup drive, all these things stay
in the computer. What we do is we take out
that motherboard, that main circuit board out of the middle
of the computer and we replace it with a new one. Now,
when we do that, especially if you have a very

(13:28):
old computer something and when I say very old, I
mean more than six years old. That's very that's that
is old man with a beard. Old. In computer technology,
only Shock modular computers hang around that long. If you
have an HP or a Dell. We can't do core
upgrades on those because everything is proprietary inside the box.
So if we put a new board in, it doesn't
line up with the holes and the cables don't look up.

(13:48):
I mean, if we had to do it, if it
ran some ten thousand dollars piece of machinery or equipment, yes,
we can rewire everything, and you'll spend like six hours
of labor for us to do it. It's not cost
effective for the average consumer. Most people would just buy
a new HP for example, and that's what HP wants.
That's why they're engineered the last eighteen months. Shock's computers
last four to six years, so it's possible you've got
a gray beard Papa Smurf shock computer hanging around in

(14:11):
your house somewhere. If you do well, we can take
that old Papa Smurf computer and we can turn it
into a brand new, current generation modular computer. Now, during
the Holiday Special, we had a big a special pricing
deal where you could upgrade to the Holiday Special spec
the speed of the Holiday Special, the AI speed, for

(14:31):
a set price. What we didn't anticipate was that customers
were bringing computers that were so old they had the
old say To hard drives in them, still, the m
DOT two Sata hard drives, the ones that they look
like nvmmes, they look like the new modern hard drives.
They plug into the same slot, but they're just not
compatible with any new technology. So then we had to
call those customers back and say, yeah, this sounds like

(14:51):
a bait and switch. I'd know it does. It's not
the case. We just didn't know. We didn't think it through.
We didn't think that you'd have one quite this old,
but you're still running those old super talent you know,
say To hard drives in there, and you know, we're
cringing looking at this drive like we don't want to
touch it because it could blow up, like it's that old.
We better take an image of that so in case
it dies while we're working on it, we're covered. But

(15:14):
you know, you had to get a new hard drive,
and we had to charge a little extra for that.
And it just when you quote somebody in out the
door price and then you tell you call them back
and tell them you got to charge them more. It's
very car salesman like, you know, I don't like that.
I don't like that at all. So what we did
this time around, we acknowledge the fact that a lot
of people want Core upgrades, but there are still a
lot of people who number one, aren't super concerned about

(15:35):
having a computer that can do AI things. Number Two,
they don't want to spend eight nine hundred one thousand
dollars on a computer upgrade. Either can't spend it, or
they don't want to spend it, or it's not important
for them at this time. There's not enough benefit there
at that price point, even though that price point was
incredibly discounted, you know, from what it normally would it be.
So what we're doing now is we have Core upgrades

(15:57):
on special for the entire year. So we're not going
to talk about it ever show we'll bring it up
from time to time. But you can choose now what
processor you want. So at Shruck we have three different computers.
We have the Boundless, we have the Endeavor, we have
the Venture. They have different processors. Arise in three, arise
in five, arise in seven. Maybe you do want the
Holiday special spec, well we can still do the ninety
seven hundred X and then you choose how much memory

(16:19):
you want because we have to replace your memory because
you get new memory because it's faster memory. And then
if needed, you can choose an optional hard drive for it.
If you have one of those old state of drives,
if you upgrade to the ENVMME, it's literally like a
ten x speed upgrade. It's ten times faster. It's amazing,
and you have to now. But if you have a really,
really old drive, it is possible. We can still hook

(16:40):
up your drive to your computer and make it work.
If you want us to do that and you want
the slower drive to save the you know, seventy five bucks,
well we'll do that, you know, kind of cutting off
your nose to spite your face, you know, buying big,
expensive fast pieces to run your computer and then putting
a purpose please, it's like, you know, I don't know,
putting like snow tires on a fur. You know, it's like,

(17:01):
why would you do that? You know that doesn't make
any sense. But you could do it. Doesn't mean you
can't do it. You could, but you shouldn't. So all
those things are priced out individually now, so you can
choose the amount of memory, you can choose the processor
you want, and if you need a hard drive, you
can choose the size you want, and the prices of
all the components are discounted off on normal upgrade prices.

(17:22):
The labor is capped at one hour of labor for
the entire upgrade, and let me tell you it, sometimes
it takes a lot more than when we say an
hour of labor. It's not like a, hey, there's a
bunch of automated tasks we have to run. We're gonna
run those tasks and walk away. This is like a
solid hour of hands in the case, upgrading the partition
type on your hard drive kind of labor. Like it's

(17:43):
it's intense. So you know, we go through a cap
it at an hour. That's part of the special But
you can get essentially a new computer that can run
Windows eleven for the price of or for less of
a price than buying a whole new computer, and the
core upgrade price now also includes Windows eleven as well
the license you need to run it, So all in all,

(18:04):
it's an out thedoor price, which is what we wanted
to do, starting at like one hundred dollars less than
a boundless so you can really upgrade an old computer
for you know, five ninety nine. It's really really affordable,
really inexpensive, and it's going to be a very popular
thing that we're doing here in twenty twenty five four
zero two five five eight eleven ten eight eight eight
two five zero two zero nine to one. When we
come back from the break, we're going to go through

(18:24):
the top five jobs, the best jobs you could the
best if you're in these careers. AI is a very
little risk to you in your career path. We're going
to cover the top five jobs and then we're going
to get Bob's call coming up next on compute this.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Everyone has experienced some form of data loss or know
someone who has. It's unfortunate, but sometimes the technology we
rely on simply fails and the last question you want
to hear at that time is you have a backup
right When you're a hard drive, memory card, backup drive
or flash drive fails, you turn to the data recovery
expert that h Rock Innovations to get those pictures, songs,

(19:02):
and memories back. You know, not all data recovery companies
are the same. Having the right tools and knowledge to
get the job done right on the first attempt makes
all the difference between a successful recovery and the permanent
loss of your important data.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Sometimes you only get one shot at a successful recovery.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
That's why Shrock has invested in top of the line
recovery imagers, a Class one hundred clean environment, over ten
thousand dollar components, and a staff of recovery engineers that
are the best in the business. Shroc has a ninety
six percent recovery rate getting data back from failed devices.
When the unthinkable happens and you need your data back,
turn to the experts at Shrock Innovations for professional and

(19:43):
affordable data recovery services.

Speaker 6 (19:46):

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Laptops are subjected to some of the most ustful computing
situations imaginable. They get dropped, stepped on, slap shut, and
pushed until the battery dies. Sometimes your laptop works hard
for you, so when it has a problem, take it
to the laptop expert that Shrock Innovations.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
SHROC has four convenient service centers.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
In Nebraska and Iowa with more than one hundred total
bench spots to get your technology up and running again.
Shrock has the largest supply of replacement components in stock
and we fix more laptops than any other nearby repair center.
Why wait weeks to get your computer fixed when Shrock
can diagnose the problem, provide you with a friendly and
accurate estimate, and fix it usually in two days or less.

(20:38):
Remember if you have never been into our service centers before,
new customers.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
Get their first hour of labor free.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
So the next time your laptop screen gets cracked, the
keys pop off your keyboard, or your two year old
decides a glass of milk is exactly what your laptop
needs to cool off, Take it to Shrock and let
your local laptop repair experts get it back in top
shape again.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
All righty folks, welcome back into compute this. My name
is Thor Schrock. I'm the owner of the Shock Innovations
computer company. Four zero two five five eight eleven ten
is the number to join us on the program outside
the metro area eight eight eight two five zero two
zero nine to one. As we do every week, we
will give one lucky caller. Whether you're calling with a question,
a compliment, a complaint, or you know, just being a

(21:28):
part of the program. In any way, you'll be in
the drawing for a twenty five dollars. Shock Innovations give
certificate good for anything your heart desires. Over at the
service center, Bob, welcome to the program. Thanks for taking
the time to call us today. How can I help
you on compute this.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
So good morning.

Speaker 7 (21:42):
Thanks for getting up so early. Answer our questions.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's Sunday.

Speaker 7 (21:46):
I am I'm new to.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
The corporate world.

Speaker 7 (21:48):
Just started with a big company, okay, and they supply
me with the computer and all the things I need
to do work. But when I'm at home with my
personal computer, I've found out that I can log in
and use that username and password to access all my
company's applications. I can use the Adobe, I can use

(22:09):
the word and Excel. Well, what's the downside of that
of accessing that on my personal computer?

Speaker 2 (22:17):
The downside for you is very minimal. In fact, the
idea here is to increase the productivity as much as
possible by making all of the company's resources available to
you wherever you're at. So the Adobe product and the
Microsoft product that's no different than any other installation of
Adobe or Microsoft. You can access them on whatever computer
you're on, as long as you're logged in with the
username and password. Now, in addition to that, some companies

(22:40):
will include software like you know, Dropbox or Microsoft Teams
or share Point, things like that that allow you to
access other members of the team with video conferencing or documents.
At Shock, for example, we have what we call the
Shock Wiki. And what it is is you know, if
you're a newer employee and you're like, I know Thor
told me how to do that, but I can't remember,

(23:01):
and I don't want to ask because I don't want
to look stupid. Well, here's a resource where you can
just look it up. We want you to have the
right information for our customers, and please do ask if
you don't know, but if you're embarrassed to ask, here's
how you can look it up. And it allows everybody
to have access to what is essentially the entire knowledge
base of show innovations in one place. So it's kind
of nice like that.

Speaker 7 (23:20):
So the downside, Can I can my employer see if
I open up a word document and make a personal document?
Can they see what I've been doing working on?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
If you open anything on a work computer, your employer
has one hundred percent legal right to access what you're doing.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
Now that would be a work computer. But I'm saying
I'm accessing these applications from my home personal computer. Okay, Adobe,
I can sign into Adobe makeup PDF.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought you said they provided
you with the computer.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
They do.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
But if I'm at home.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Oh, you're not taking the computer home with you? Okay, God, no, sir.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
This would be my own. I can log in to
Adobe through my personal computer through there to my user
name and password from work.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
So yeah, if you're if you're using company resources to
create you know, this is like this goes back to
like if you're using the company's xerox machine to photocopy
a textbook for your kids science class. You know, can
they see what you photo copied? Well, there is a
digital record in most photocopiers of what's been copied. It's
saved in the machine. This is a big personal security thing.

(24:26):
When you used to have a Kinkos and you go
in there and copy stuff and people are like, you know,
the machine saves a copy of everything you copy right right,
and they're like, wait what Yeah, every time you try
to copy that dollar bill, it's saved a copy of that.
It knows who you are.

Speaker 7 (24:40):
But the same thing might be happening with whether it's
Adobe or word.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
You know, it's possible that the thing is when you're
using company resources to do anything, you know, the company
has a right to know how their resources are being utilized,
so it you know, it may be possible that I'm
not aware of of, you know, a way for a
company to actually if you log into an Adobe product
at home and use that Adobe product to create a
PDF and save that PDF to your local computer and

(25:06):
not share it with your employer. I don't know of
a way the employer could look at that document and
say this is a document you created. They'll they'll definitely
have a log in, they know that you logged in
from home. They might ask what you were doing, like
what you were working on. But I don't think that
the level of monitoring is to the point yet that
a company would be able to do that. Now, if

(25:27):
you're doing work from home, a lot of employers do
require you, even if you're using a personal computer, to
have technology installed on the computer to monitor productivity. That's
why there's been a whole series of technology advancements like
mouse movers and things like that that try to trick
the software the employer puts on the computer into thinking
you're actually working when you're not. And that's one of

(25:48):
the reasons why, you know, the work from home gigs
are getting fewer and fewer and fewer, or they're becoming
very industry specific things where you can benchmark progress really easily.
So if you're a sawt for a developer, here's how
long it should take you to write the software to
run this widget. If you don't get it done in
that amount of time, well then you're going to get fired.
So you can screw around all you want, but you

(26:09):
got to meet your deadline. And you know, you see
this a lot on LinkedIn like treat us as adults,
you know, let us manage our own time. And what
you quickly realize is that many employees in the employee
pool are not adults. So if you want to measure that,
you know, you know, handle their time appropriately. You know, you,
Bob might be doing everything right and saying I'm putting
in my hours, I'm doing my job. I'm a good employee.
And then you know, if they're going to pay for

(26:30):
this anyway, and I need to create a PDF for
a lost dog poster, you know, why not? You know,
and I don't think any employers really going to have
a problem with that.

Speaker 7 (26:38):
Now, if you're just surprised how easy I can actually
sink my share Point site with my personal computer.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
And I'm surprised that.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Let's do that? So, yes, if you. Share Point is
a platform that allows you to share documents with your employer.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
And I can sink them down to my personal oh
heck yeah, at home, and I'm surprised that it lets
me do it?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, it does, and it also if you if you
lose your job, though, your access to that SharePoint will
be restricted and anything saved under that SharePoint will be
deleted from your computer. Also, anything that you save on
the computer that's associated with the SharePoint is also available
to your employer, So the SharePoint changes things. That's a
file sharing utility essentially, that allows you to share information

(27:24):
with your employer. That's the whole point of SharePoint.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Interesting.

Speaker 7 (27:27):
But if I sink it down to the computer and
then I copy and paste it over to my own
desktop and then I lose the credentials, it would save
that file, I.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Suppose, So yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:38):
Whether that's whether that's against company policy that I'm not
saying I'm doing that.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
It's just you don't work for the DoD, do you.
I mean you're you're a Chinese spy or something. Are
you gonna Are you gonna steal some documents about the
gravetic propulsion drones over New Jersey?

Speaker 7 (27:55):
Somebody needs to somebody needs to get.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
That true thought that we can't wait forever for Trump.
Oh gosh, thank you for the call, Bob. I appreciate
you taking the time. Thank you, thank you very much.
All Right, and you're in one of these five industries,
your job is relatively safe from artificial intelligence Number five.
The fifth safest job is a salesperson. Apparently people don't
like to buy things from computers. The fourth safest job

(28:21):
is a construction tradesman, electron or electrician, plumber, carpenter, a
tradesman because artificial intelligence, as much as we love it,
can't build physical things, not yet. Software developers. This one
surprised me. Number three with software developers. If you're a
software developer, artificial intelligence can be an amazing tool to
help you build your code, but we're not at a

(28:42):
point yet where we can We don't have a general
artificial intelligence yet where we can just tell the AI,
build me a program that does this, and then it
does and that doesn't exist yet. You need the software
developer to guide the AI tools. It's like saying if
you have a you know, if you're a carpenter and
you have a and nails, you can build something. But
if you have a nail gun, you can build it

(29:04):
a lot faster because it's a more powerful tool. You know, no,
no pun intended, but it's a it's a more efficient tool. Well.
AI is a super efficient tool for coding. It can
make an existing coder way more productive, So it's kind
of cool there. The number two safest job from AI
light truck or delivery driver so you're Amazon driver, your
UPS driver, You're you know, you're Schwan's man. Those jobs

(29:28):
are not going to be taken over by AI anytime
soon because AI can't physically deliver things in a truck.
Makes a lot of sense, but this one blew my mind.
The number one safest job if you have this job,
AI is a little risky. I'm going to tell you
what that job is coming up next on compute this.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Remember the good old days when virus detection worked like
where's Waldo? Spot the virus in the striped shirt and
you win. Today's infections are changing hourly to avoid detection
and use social engineering to trick you into making mistakes.
Using yesterday's security to defend against today's threats is like
using leeches to stop an infection. It just doesn't work.

(30:11):
We recommend Sophos intercept X antivirus backed by Shrocks Virus
Free Guarantee. SOFOS uses the power of AI to detect
the patterns of a virus attack and responds with Shrock's
custom actions that stop it fast. With SOFOS on your PC, Mac, Android,
or iOS device, you get the state of the art
protection you need to defend against the most advanced attacks

(30:35):
out there. In fact, if your device gets a virus
while running Sofos antivirus, Shock will remove it for free,
guaranteed it hasn't happened yet and we intend to.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Keep it that way.

Speaker 1 (30:45):

Speaker 2 (32:24):
All righty folks, welcome back into compute.

Speaker 8 (32:26):
This.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
My name's Thor Shock. I'm the owner of the Shock
Innovations computer company. You ever have that feeling like you're
forgetting something and you don't quite know what it is,
You can't put your finger on it, but you know
there's something you're forgetting. I had that feeling last night.
You know what I was forgetting to do plan any
content for the Aftershock today, the first one of twenty
twenty five, and I'm like, well, laying in bed last time,
like what am I going to talk about on the aftershock?

(32:49):
Oh no, that's what I was forgetting. I'm not going
to get up now. I got to get some sleep
four hours of sleep here. I need to get some sleep.
So we'll do an ask me anything. So the aftershock
today is going to be an ask me anything. That's
what radio people do when they forget to do something.
They don't ask me anything. Ask me whatever you like anything.
No topic is off limits. Now I may not answer

(33:09):
your question precisely, but no topic is off limits. You
can ask anything you want during the aftershock. It's a
little show that we do at Facebook dot com slash
Rock Innovations. At the conclusion of this program, give me
five six minutes to reset, and then we launch it up.
And we always usually you know, blah blah blah for
the first minute or so to make sure everybody can
get connected, and then then we jump into the fun
stuff for zero two five five, eight eleven ten eight

(33:31):
eight eight two five zero two zero nine one, John,
how can I help you on compute this today?

Speaker 8 (33:37):
Well, I just dropped that Dale laptop off at your
Papilion store last night. Okay, you're bringing some stuff up
about new software being available and RAM RAM or memory
and all that sort of stuff. If I tell you

(33:59):
it's an orange, theyll do you know, what do you
know what that machine's like?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
I do not, But what I can tell you when
you dropped it off, what was the reason you dropped
it off?

Speaker 8 (34:10):
It's it works, you know, it's extremely slow, and it's
okay age and so you know, I definitely want it
to be a Ferrari.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Gotcha.

Speaker 8 (34:22):
So it's got raid drives in it, and I don't
care how it's configured, you know, because it sounds to
me like I'm going to be a person new drives,
memory and whatever. Processor.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
So well, in a laptop, we can't change the processor.
So the brain is the brain, and the brain can't
be changed. And the brain determines whether or not you
can run Windows eleven. So that's the first hurdle that
we're gonna Is it running eleven now or is it
still on ten?

Speaker 8 (34:51):
It is still on probably an early version of ten.
I haven't had it turned on for a while, and
I just wonder if I could get it upgraded to
the Ferrari level you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, So if we if we look at upgrading that
the first thing we're going to check is can this
computer run Windows eleven, because if it doesn't have an
eighth generation or newer processor, you know, there's no point
in us having recom. We can make all the recommendations
in the world, we can make it very fast, but
if you can only use it till October, it's kind
of a waste of money, right, I mean, if.

Speaker 8 (35:23):
It's exactly you don't want to do that, that's kind
of And then is eleven available only in October? Or
is that available sooner?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Oh? No, eleven has been out for almost four years.
Oh yes, I mean yeah, they're literally the push to
go to Windows eleven has been has been a march,
a drum beat, and now Microsoft is about to cut
off the people on Windows ten and say you can't
stay on ten anymore. And that's where things are going
to get, you know, kind of interesting, because some people
argue that the line for the hardware was kind of

(35:52):
arbitrarily drawn. There are some technical reasons Microsoft drew the
line where they did, but they could have pushed it
a little further back, but they didn't. And so it's
like there's a conspiracy theory they're trying to get you know,
more new computers sold, more licenses for Windows sold, you
know all that jazz. But the log in the short
of it is Windows eleven is a much more secure
operating system. You're much safer against viruses and malware on

(36:15):
Windows eleven than you are on Windows ten. And the
funny thing is is even though you're so much safer
with Windows eleven, your risk of infection is about the
same as it was back in the day with Windows ten.
And the reason is the viruses have gotten way smarter.
They're actually AI powered viruses now, so they're always there's
something trying to trick you to open the attachment to

(36:36):
get cleared to the website. Sometimes you don't even have to.
You just click on a link to go to a website.
That's all you have to do. You don't have to
download anything, you don't have to open anything. You just
get infected unless you have an operating system that's protecting
you against those threats and a good antivirus product like SOFO.
So what we're gonna do, John, is we're gonna go
through that computer and say, first of all, can't it
go to Windows eleven? And then if it can, these

(36:57):
are the things that we can do to speed it up.
If it can, then we're probably gonna recommend you look
at a new computer that can run Windows eleven that
already comes with the Ferrari parts in it, and not
a holiday specially, or you know, we're not talking about
like a thousand dollars computer or anything here, but basically,
what are you gonna use it for? And then anything
that you buy off the shelf right now is gonna be,
you know, world's faster than what you have now. So

(37:18):
you could buy the cheapest computer we sell it shock
you'd be like, geez, this thing is fast. Or we
can absolutely blow your mind and sell you something that's
genuinely fast, and then you're like this, this is unbelievable,
Like I didn't know life could be this good. So yeah,
it's it's a lot of fun job. But the guys
in Papelon are really good at what they do. Liam
and his team there is very good at what they do,
and they're gonna make sure that you get into a

(37:38):
computer that's gonna that's gonna meet your needs and do
what you wanted to do.

Speaker 8 (37:42):
I didn't want to spend the money and only have
a work till October.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
So I hear you clucking, hey, thank you for the
Calle John and we'll see if we get you in
the drawing here for that twenty five dollars Shock Innovations
gift certificate. Also, Bonnie comments on Facebook Schwan's went out
of business, but not due to AI, due to too
much competition. So I guess the Schwan's man is gone.
It just seems like, just like maybe that was a
pandemic thing. I feel like the Schwan's guys. My neighbors

(38:06):
had a schwan subscription and they could see the Shwan
truck in my neighborhood. But now that you mentioned it, Bonnie,
I haven't seen a Schwan truck lately. I guess I
don't know. And you know, when I was a kid,
you know, the eighties were so cool, like you could
have like a pervert driving an ice cream truck around
ringing a bell and kids would just come running for
that truck and you just give the guy money and
he'd just give you ice cream and it was great.

(38:28):
And you know, now they have these these these vans
that drive around. I don't know if there's still perverts,
I don't know, but they're driving around and the music
that plays, it's like, I don't know, it's out of
a speaker now, it's not like a bell. They play
music and it sounds kind of like that post apocalyptic
carnival kind of music, and you're like, what are you playing? Like?
This vand is just driving around playing Happy Birthday to

(38:49):
you on an eight bit synthesizer over and over and
over again. As it drives around looking for children to
buy ice cream. It just h don't you long for
the days of the schwan man or a uniform at
least four zero two five five eight eleven ten eight
eight eight two five zero two zero nine one. Those
are the kind of brain random neurons guys that fire
off my head. That's what the aftershock is for. So

(39:11):
I have a place to put those things so they
don't come out in the program. I apologize for that
number one safest job that you can get, that you
can have and be safe from AI for the foreseeable future.
Job security from AI. Not joking here, one bit farmer
or agworker. A farmer or an agworker, now that doesn't
mean AI is not touching your life. Anyone in the

(39:33):
agriculture business can tell you about how technology has changed
the way you do things, but it just makes the
individual farmer, or the family farmer, or even the corporate
farmer way more productive. You can produce more units of
food per unit of input, whether that input is fertilizer
or water or soil or labor. You know, basically, AI

(39:54):
is going to make us more efficient. So it's not
that that AI isn't going to touch the farming and
egg industry. It's just that it's not going to replace
the farmer. When it comes right down to it, you
still need the guy that John Deere just introduced a
whole line of autonomous tractors. I'm not joking completely autonomous
tractors the farm equipment that runs itself. But you still

(40:15):
need the farmer to decide what to plant, when to plan,
how to plant, weather conditions. It's all there, and then
you know, there's just a lifetime of skill that goes
into it. You know, you can you can have all
that data and stick it into a model and still
you know, still get the model wrong. And that farmer
is the person that doesn't get it wrong that make sure.
That's the difference between a successful yield and a poor yield,

(40:38):
and so and there's good farmers and not so good farmers,
and they tend to you know, generations come and go,
and you know the good farmers and you know they
pass on their their skills to their kids and you
become like a farming agriculture community. And so anyway, it's
I thought that was really interesting. A farmer and agworker
is the safest job. What are the most at risk
jobs if you're in one of these five into I'll

(41:00):
say six because the sixth one is really funny. Well
it's not funny. I shouldn't say funny, it's it's really interesting.
But the top five riskiest industries these are these are
what your the jobs at AI is going to take
in the short term. Number five Printing and related businesses.
So if you're like, if you're if you print the
short catalogs, for example, AI is coming for you because

(41:22):
any anything like that can be automated pretty easily. Inventory clerks,
if you count, if you're a counter of things, well
that's something that AI can be very so if you're
a stocker at a grocery store, if you are an
inventory specialist working, you know, you when you ever go
into the gas station and they're doing an inventory. They
got little tags on everything, and you're afraid to buy

(41:42):
something because you're gonna throw off the count. You know,
that job, that job will go away someday. Uh, cleaners
and housekeepers, this really like. I mean, it's been many
years since I bought a new roomba, but maybe they've
come a long way. I don't know. They used to
not work so good. But cleaners and housekeepers apparently that
job is at risk from AI. I don't understand that one,
but the World Economic Forum says that cleaners and housekeepers

(42:05):
they're at risk from AI. So we'll see. Maybe we're
gonna have optimist robots dusting things. I don't know. Secretaries
and administrative assistance. This makes a lot of sense to me.
For a living book flights, send emails, manage communications, managed schedules,
schedule appointments that can all be very easily automated with
an AI agent. So the number one riskiest job you

(42:29):
can have. This job is guaranteed to basically be eliminated
by AI. Cashiers and ticket clerks if you ring stuff
out for a living. I know a lot of you
hate the self checkout, but if this self checkout, maybe
it won't be doing it yourself, maybe it'll be all
AI doing it. Have you been to Sam's Club recently
where you push your cart through the arch and the

(42:50):
cameras look at what's in your cart, compare it to
your receipt. Somehow it knows your receipt. I don't know
if it's facial recognition or what the deal is, but
and they just flag you out the door. You're good
to go. I thought, surely I had a giant cart
of stuff, you know, stuff that was stacked so I
had to replenish all the snacks in the service centers,
and I had it all stacked up, and it was
on top of each other, and you couldn't see what

(43:10):
was on the bottom. Heck, sometimes I misring it and
I have to go back and get someone to help
me re ring it because I forgot something in the
bottom of the cart, and so I'm pushing it through
the arch, thinking there's no way this arch is going
to know what I've gotten here. Then I push it
through the arch and she says you're good to go,
which tells me that the AI probably isn't happening at
the arch. It's probably happening at the checkout. There's probably
cameras at the checkout watching what I'm doing, facially recognizing

(43:33):
what I rang up to my face to me pushing
it through the arches, saying yep, I don't see anything
in the cart that didn't go through the ring out. Yeah,
that's AI, and that's coming for your job as a cashier. Now,
what was the sixth one? The funny one? That's not
so funny? Now this job? Every single one of us,
at some point in our adult lives is going to

(43:53):
use somebody in this profession, and a mistake in this
profession can be world ending, and AI is going to
take this profession over. According to the World Economic Forums,
we're going to take our final break of the show,
guys when we come back. The sixth the riskiest job
that we've all had somebody do for us coming up
next on compute this.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
There are enough unused computers in storage to give every man,
woman and child in the US an old, outdated, and
useless computer system. Obsolete tablets and smartphones are nearly as bad.
Most people know not to throw them into the landfill
where they leak and contaminate, but it's hard to find
a place to safely recycle electronics. That's why Shrock Innovations

(44:35):
offers free recycling for computers, laptops, phones, tablets, cords, and accessories.
In fact, only monitors and printers have a small recycling fee.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
Everything else is free.

Speaker 4 (44:46):
More importantly, Schrock will securely delete any data from your
devices and hard drives before they are sent to a
certified recycling partner, who will then repeat the wiping process
just to be saved.

Speaker 5 (44:56):
When you recycle your.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
Old technology at Shrock, you know you're our identity and
privacy are protected, and your equipment is being actually recycled
by a certified recycling partner. Shock is proud to recycle
more e waste than we produce annually, making a positive
difference to our economy and ecology. Do your part by
dropping your old gear at any Shock service center and

(45:18):
be part of the area's largest and most popular technology
recycling program with Shrock Innovations.

Speaker 6 (45:25):
Today's fragile computers need maintenance more than ever. Your computer
needs a maintenance check up every six months to last
beyond it's eighteen month expected lifespan.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
You would probably rather drink the water at Camp La
June than get another call about the desperate need to
renew your cars expiring warranty.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
Who actually responds to those calls.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
Everyone wants to play the warranty game, where you pay
money now just in case you need service later that
everyone hopes you won't need or use.

Speaker 5 (45:52):
It's such a waste. It's no different with computers.

Speaker 4 (45:55):
Major manufacturer's warranties have more subscript crosses than a Sunday
morning church service.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Batteries are exempt.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Hard drives must be completely dead and forget about anything
that they can remotely claim us physical damage. That's why
Shrock warranties are different. When you purchase a modular PC
or a solid state laptop and extend your warranty, we
offer a no risk money back guarantee. If you need
the warranty, you will be thrilled to have it if
you don't use it, and we refund your money automatically

(46:23):
every time.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
We are so confident in the quality of our products
that our extended warranties are refundable. Many Shrock customers use
their refunds to purchase another warranty or pocket the savings
and move on. We all know you'll need it to
cover that expiring car warranty anyway. Shocks refundable extended warranties.
Just another way the Shrock Innovations computer Company makes your

(46:45):
computer work for you.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
All righty folks, welcome in to compute this the final
segment of the first Show, first live show of twenty
twenty five for zero, two, five, five, eight, eleven to
ten phone banks or fall. We're gonna try to get
to as many calls as we can before we end
the program here today. But without further ado, if you
have ever used an accountant, that is the sixth most
likely job to be completely automated by artificial intelligence. So

(47:15):
that's right, your taxes. Now, think about this for a second.
Everything is numbers in, numbers out. You're following a specific
set of rules, and the rules do change frequently year
to year, but they're rules all the same. And so
this is this is something that could actually be very easily,

(47:37):
you know, automated. Now, when it comes to developing tax strategy,
that is a different story. You know that that's you know,
so if you have an accountant who is developing tax
strategy for you, that's different from the accountant that files
my mom's taxes. Maybe it's the same accountant, but you
get what I'm saying like you could have a number
of these tax returns can be programmatically done by AI,
saving you the need to have an accountant doing all

(47:58):
these these tasks. You have to have an accountant to
sign off on the returns eventually, but if essentially it's
just a rubber stamp because the AI is doing all
the work. So an accountant, if you're an accountant, that
is something that could definitely be at risk from an
AI agent in the very near future. We're not talking
about far away land here, We're talking about the next
twelve months. AI agents are coming now. One of the

(48:22):
things about cees they always introduce new products. Some of
the products are cool and some of them are really stupid.
They never see the line of day. One of the
coolest ones that I saw was Samsung has a new
screen type and it's called a stretchable screen. And at
first like stretchable screen, Like why would you stretch your screen?
Like I want a bigger screen, you know, is it

(48:43):
an exercise screen? I don't understand. My hand strength is
amazing because I have a stretchable screen. No, it's a
screen that can deform its shape programmatically. Now imagine your
using you have a smartphone in your hand, because they
can only do this on like a five x seven
screen right now, But you have a smartphone in your
hand and you go to a website or an app
and there are buttons in the app. And everything in

(49:05):
the world has gone away from physical buttons, right Remember,
like those of you who are over the age of thirty,
remember a world where we had dials and buttons and
switches to do things, and then we went to these
things where you tap on the screen. You tap the button.
It's still a button, but you're just touching it on
the screen and it's not really a button. Well, now,
imagine a screen where the buttons can rise up off

(49:26):
the screen and you can physically depress the button into
the screen, and then it is to a new screen.
Those buttons molded. This kind of fade away into the
screen and new buttons come out. So literally, the interface
that you're using very much like on Star Trek, how
they're running the ship on that touchscreen board and everyone
was like, oh, there's no buttons or dials or anything.
You're just touching the screen.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
It was really great for special effects. They just run
their fingers over it and slide around and stuff, and
then everything can get added later. Now, imagine if you
wanted a physical button or maybe even someday a physical
dial to do things on a screen. You could have
it appear up out of the digital screen and then
go away when you don't need it anymore. And that

(50:08):
actually exists now it's at CES. It'll be a while
before we see it in our smartphones and other devices.
But you know the applications of this are endless when
you start to think about the use cases. Now, that
doesn't mean everything at CES is interesting, though, because there's
definitely some stupid stuff. So one of the stupidest things
that I've seen come out of CES, zd net said,

(50:31):
this is like one of the top five things that's
super cool. It's a toaster like device. Whenever you're talking
about high tech and you start off with thinking it's toaster, Like, okay,
it's a toaster like device that can charge your smartphone
literally in two seconds, I'm like whoa, Like I'm thinking
lithium ion batteries and ions moving. How is it charging

(50:52):
a phone in two seconds and not exploding it?

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Like?

Speaker 2 (50:54):
How is this possible? I open the link clickbait, right,
So I open the link and I read the story.
Here's that's what it's doing. You take your iPhone, your
beautiful sleek iPhone, and you stick it in the fuggliest
case that you have ever seen in your life. And
that case has a built in battery batteries, and you
know cell phone cases are not a new thing. Then

(51:17):
when your battery is getting low in your phone, you
go over to your toaster like device and you stick
your phone and the toaster like bread slot and it
sucks the phone down, separating the battery from the case.
And there are five fully recharged batteries in rotation inside
the box. And it slaps a new battery on the
back of your phone and spits up your toast. Here

(51:39):
you go. You're perfectly one hundred percent recharge cell phone.
So it's not really recharging your phone, it's it's strapping
a battery, a backup battery on the back of your
phone without you having to touch it. It's the dumbest
thing ever. I mean, literally, it's stupid. There's five batteries
in there, so the whole family can use it. Oh
and you can have an app that you can actually
reserve a battery in case your battery hoarding family takes

(51:59):
all the and you go to get one and there's
not one in there, And of course then it recharges
the batteries that come off the back. This is a
backup battery that get strapped onto your phone automatically in
a toaster like device. Welcome to cees. It's the future, baby,
Tony Stark right here, beautiful stuff. All right, let's go
back into those phones real quick. Here will welcome to

(52:19):
the program. How can I help you on compute this today?

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Hi? Sure? Hello? Here? Get my computer? The Windows is
not updated to the twenty four version. It's still twenty
three h two. Okay, that was my main question. What
do I do about that? And isn't Secure update supposed
to do that? And I don't think my secure update
is even on my screen anymore.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Yeah, Secure updata installs patches for programs. It doesn't install
Windows updates. So going to two four h two is
something you need to do before the next version comes
out next year. You basically, if you get two revisions behind,
you don't get security updates anymore. So you got a
little time now. If it's is it Windows ten or
Windows eleven eleven? Okay? Good, because there is no two

(53:06):
four h two for Windows ten, So if you're waiting
for it for Windows ten, it's never gonna happen. But
Windows eleven, yeah, you definitely should have it by now,
unless your computer is like not compatible for some weird
reason like Microsoft has blocked it. But if that's the case,
our guys can usually get it installed for you pretty
easily in the service center.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
Well, it's an HP that I got from you guys.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Oh yeah, we can take care of it.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Okay, I'll bring it in. Also, I was wondering about
the plugs for for plugging into an auxiliary screen or something.
How long do those last? Can you?

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Yeah, they'll usually last a lifetime of the computer. They're
not gonna wear out on you. Mike. Congratulations, you're the winner.
We'll see you next week for compute this
