Thank you very much theater eight system anonymous think sure unless he wants to tell us his last name. Google with H4 now that's fine alright Peter Henry exactly exactly alright so ups we got a delayed show for you it's after this the wednesday before american thanksgiving so lots of things going on sale black friday cyber monday coming in with a lot of products to talk about. Before we do that we've got some housekeeping hey guys what about the word of the week. [1:10] Blue that are guest choose the where the week and or do i use the word sure why not let's pick considering we've got a lot of snow outside and it's a little bit before christmas let's pick al's call Zoe use that word a lot normally are podcast so that should work out well I'm sure we'll be able to work that in it Peter you're a long time listener friend of the show we've talked about you before you've been on the show before you. [1:37] You stay in touch so your Alpha superfan, well thank you very much yeah i try and listen you guys and i get some some inside information about where microsoft is going where they from the little bit of where they come from and some deep insights of some cool information that I wouldn't get out on out on the the internet on blogs or an in trade rags and stuff like that. It did I see you you do not have a Windows phone, so i figure the loss of a three of us to give up on yeah that was a sore point i was doing some windows phone development there for a little while and i love the phone and lives in a paid for one of your apps, yes thank you very much i camera what was that was the but yeah remember when Windows Phone Directory made by Nokia in Finland. Set the receipt with the finnish national costume look like no now you should google that are being that. Cuz it really looks like what else would wear it really does oh I see I see. [3:02] Lottery for the week whenever we say the week you can take a drink of your favorite beverage. If you're driving and if the officer pulls you over you can tell if you heard the word the weekend you had to. I'll call the police officer and elf they don't like that very much okay that's not that's true and alright so we're gonna do, go on at the show and I will come back to some of the stuff that you wanted to talk about specifically I feel free to jump in anytime if we're talking gives a hand signal whenever jump in lots to talk about we're going to great start with our typical. [3:41] Cysts you story of the week on the history of the and we called it just so we don't have a super long episode think we're going to start with David doing to start with v. Surface news will Microsoft to new versions of the surface go one is the LTE version and. Priest self-explanatory it comes with a healthy and also come with those in a sixty is it a four gig at eight gig memory is it is it is a smaller one which is odd yeah so it's not that is a yet by getting out to eat have to get something else up if you were looking for the full spec apparently and then they brought up one that they originally were selling just at Costco but now it's kind of a hybrid between the low end in the high-end so it has, 4 gigs of memory at but has a faster processor I think in the faster disk space and 128. So anyhow I kind of. [4:46] That what they should if it is one of the dis a battery and but anyhow well i thought the battery so much has the combination of battery, and until process about the battery it's so much better than what it was made by elves they would probably work better. Well the hand thing you get used to but the battery only lasts him I'd say 2 hours most so really who hours. Has us pc and has microsoft on the cake but so that, that later on what I'm going to buy and maybe that's going to convince me not as far as you're concerned. I should buy it it's definitely you know what I'd rather by anyways before we live on. [5:38] Over was full of issues for microsoft release seeing. Nine or the fall release of windows ten, kind of issues they pulled it back and release of the play back well guess what they've re released again it's available in the wild but it still pro can. So again I think for Microsoft that's a, six at so eighty nine and icloud do not play nice map drives are broken in md processors have issues trend micro anti malware has issues still all kinds of issues and eighteen o nine at even though Microsoft that there's going to be some quality. Updates for you think about that Peter when I'm doing my normal day-to-day stuff at work or if I'm playing around at home, I just really using visual studio and Chrome, and it's for the most part it seems to be okay but I guess the situations that you've brought up with regards to specific Cloud scenarios or specific CPUs, thank, at work and at home and it seems to be working pretty fine for me I thought that's what the flighting was doing and that's what the controlled-release Cycles were doing based on the Insiders. [7:02] Field testing I'm so maybe the inside is not doing their job so they should be fired unrelated news Dona sarkar is. [7:11] It is a focus at Focus APA Cosmopolitan magazine article okay there we go. A little bit of Safeway we talked about this earlier windows on arm update lots of news in the windows on arm plus space first off, chris off the is supporting native apps for your visual studio user there's now an ability to compiled directly for windows ten on arm. Don't have to use the emulation, how is just for store apps this is for sixteen gb thirty two bit or sixty four bit apps well that's really good question we should take a look at that but, I read the article I couldn't figure it out so I figured that the armpits are 64-bit they are it's just the emulation is 32 bit. [8:01] I ever win thirty two apps so does that mean that the apps are gonna run slower on a sixty four bit. Machine which apps any of the 32-bit apps. Yeah so yes they will definitely stop to say what happens when you virtualize a nap and I'm elated that probably doesn't run quick yeah but how do you how do you bench Market because you're running on Hardware was never designed to run on, you know what I was wondering about the surface cup its performance is fine. And this is not the most powerful computer in the world that's right right so I'm just saying that. We don't really need a whole lot of power I mean yeah so some app run slower if you can rent underarm but you know you're ready. So if you need that much power the chances are you're gonna be getting visual by some healthy right last house list list quickly you're right now we're talking about were talking about was and i'm talking about the snap dragon he thirty five make forty fives. Sony 850 sorry 835 850s the 1000 coming at least or chips that run a 2.9 gigahertz other fairly quick or multi-core. [9:12] But how do you bench a Teddy to a fair Benchmark between an app running on arm versus an app running on arm emulated I don't think versus until proc I don't think it's a fair comparison it's just it's a convenient it's not why you should be running that app if you need to live in that up all the time it's at a transitional phase as your getting rid of a legacy app so what's going on in windows are native apps in Chrome so Google and Microsoft are working on a native Chrome browser for windows on arm. [9:44] Two new devices one from Lenovo one from Samsung. And December 2nd for the Samsung and not sure when the Lenovo shipping but these are running the latest 8:50. [9:57] Which is got a lot more power a lot more speed the original Windows alarm devices. They were slow even then like playing with him for 5 minutes every around anymore. [10:13] The white with you of this lottery designer and in what i understood but the way in the first round of the of the surfaces oh you mean like the original surface without with the arm checked with the actor that didn't really work out there and then mop and then he bought Nokia which runs on arm so yeah an hour to bring it back the first one i love mine i had when i saw her and and and it was it was absolutely one of my apps the bad the battery life on them was incredibly the apps it was the store apps, I couldn't install stuff okay that's a confused I was actually in a Microsoft store right doing doing a demo was confused and people come in, our tv i can't install this i cancel like nine so i may say well that you but windows are teak this app oneself the customers that didn't understand i think i'm windows of a lease they weren't doing a good enough job of marketing that of getting people to understand all, explain that my kids got it first got it and this is just one of those things okay, I'm buying an iPad equivalent I've got the increase battery life I've got the instant on these are wonderful thing average consumer thinks by the Windows device. They don't understand the different versions of thought they were getting a laptop that they could just decide on everything they want. [11:36] Yeah and so things that you should be able to run. You couldn't and they were just confused but let's move on, the new devices from 101 Samsung so maybe I should look at one of those but here's the problem member we said 1809 is broken so, villanova on samsung devices to both shipping with windows ten eighteen or three. The to mail ship with the surface scope to shift with eighteen of three understood welsh but the surface will ship in the summer. Is a shipping in happen of embers of this problem and you know three was never certified to stop dragging eight fifty. Microsoft never tested it but they never certified it so it was certified as a Snapdragon 835. [12:19] So they're running an OS I was never tested on the hardware. So that's a bit of a pickle for them isn't it it is so there when you open this up under Christmas tree on Christmas morning the first thing it's going to want to do is doing update on you. There's there's an interesting user experience that's going to happen no matter what what you buy even even Apple and Android never updates but I guess that's a no. They certified in for that one device on 1803. [12:54] And so anyways so it's still the thought this. All windows ten is broken thing is is really biting. [13:03] Maybe they need elves doing software testing. Well they might have smaller issues alright so what was that movie where. [13:17] Bob Newhart was an elf. [13:20] It's not elf. Is there dams. Okay alright. [13:39] On to Microsoft doing more to get away from passwords. [13:44] Two ft multi factor authentication windows hollow bio matrix facial recognition of yours and interesting thing initially I'm a little hesitant to word that I kind of like having my password okay fine I like having your password too and I'm giving it out cuz it is part of my last name so I know relatively newish laptop, there's a yellow sticker on the front and on the back hot for cover the camera thing i do the same thing my cover i like I look like Dave I cover my camera, so you're so you're hello hello really work out so well, hope it does actually so what it does so you got a picture of the tape. [14:38] Did they responsible camera somebody pull up the regular camera put in reverse. [14:44] Did they finally figure out how to the problem with having putting sticking a really good quality picture in front of the camera. [14:54] Nice yellow yet and yet it logs me in even twins cancel hello because special IR camera which is this one here. [15:07] Good making sb but it's sometimes happens plus the iron cameras the second hole on the right. [15:12] So it's the whole on the right that the visual camera is the one in the middle, so the only thing you're stopping is the visual camera not the e-signature I figured this out by mistake, see you're saying the twins don't have a different heat signature on their face says of the blood vessel pattern and things like that. Yeah go back to that demo Montreal remember. [15:35] That is perfectly anybody but so any yeah so i'm gonna the i'm done some work around that so yeah so but let's go back to the answer adding no password required for outlook office three sixty-five when driving skype to more and more. Services you can use without entering a password how does that work well. I understand but if you're using Office 365 using live or Hotmail sure it's over the internet and you don't have a password right how do you log it how do you. Air quotes login with that with your username so first off you're going to end, you need to have windows ten running on a device with two pm. TPM trusted platform module so it's a quote-unquote air quotes here unhackable. [16:31] Piece of Hardware which stores keys on the device. TPM 2.0 which most business class devices have and use. Is need to be in place i believe the key need you if you if i've not pas about that but anyways what does it is. Stores the credential hashes in there okay then it uses that to pass along. Microsoft's confident that no glue it is going to be. Reproducible afterwards just the hash right if you can reverse it from the hash the whole point the hatches a tard reverse it on and you would do that anyway fit after i guess. Doesn't were awesome but the same would be true if you done that that the password was still pass the same. It started to Hash it and then some hash right so or get them get a no hot again is that really a token able to get some piano hot verification there so. It's not the kind of thing that you can leave lying around like on a sticky note. [17:48] Like your face is on the sticky note mac that might be there for a while and your heat signature is not one of mine. I thought I had password take to the bar for some of your government clients how how receptive are they. So I've done a lot of work for it they're there right now they're still focused on getting Windows 10 lock the door, the parody solution of a lost opportunity they're not make Windows 10 look like Windows 7 just waking up Windows 7 they're not really looking at and what they do. Yeah I try but okay so, just wanted to have that out there passwords I don't use passwords that often anymore and I think they're going to be less and less services at um there's so many password. [18:43] Dealing attempts happening it's a great way to Yo password databases and things like that if you can minimize that Force multi-factor authentication to make it easy, i think people will be better off from one term okay but i think it's time to move away from microsoft news that's the high right david you to take this one of july the do that when i any to can i want that's what alright so. The UN Chief says the killer AI robots must be outlawed what do you think about that. [19:13] I don't think you should kill did I don't think you should tell her I am broke I think they should be encouraged the problem personally I wouldn't care if I was killed by a robot or a person if I'm killed. There's that sure what you'd rather be killed by a person that a robot. [19:33] I'm just I guess I'm just more questioning the fact that we have to get a law for this I know so who is the killer AI robots. [19:44] Of months and the government's fault lost like this now so. [19:51] Well it depends on weather of course of course this is the United Nations so, Canada General Secretary Antonio guterres has warned about the weaponization of AI too serious danger but I think the weaponization of anything is a danger right exactly. Let me have a vote today no that was for their what they should put the postal workers back to vote. Talk about that after the postal strike in Canada so I think we probably have less. A lot of a lot of troops or less soldiers were hurt from Friendly Fire somebody missed somebody shot at the wrong hell or launched launched an airstrike the wrong place I think more surgery Soldier wouldn't be there. [20:59] And will that stop driving card is not a police officer after or yeah, it's just like self-driving cars people are afraid to self-driving cars but of a millions and millions of miles driven they have far less toxic to human drivers and how many how many people have been shot how many people how many people have been shot, not self-driving car says 0 right into the back of fire trucks on the highway the problem with the self-driving cars is their algorithms are chosen specifically to ignore certain piece of information course one of the thing after the after the the accident that killed one of the drivers of going through a fire truck stopped on the highway was they said well we have to put that in there because otherwise the car wouldn't make it down the street because all the street lights would make it stall I can make it better while they can make it better the problem is I think you've got. [21:53] You got all these people that have to die in order for it to learn we can't get the pilot in a plane to work, it's called Evolution how do you read how do you mean. It's almost your taxes they are still accident, what I talk about you when you talk about the car later the old white guy, can about which one of us that you cuz you played without light yeah okay old white guy claiming he making comments about technology that he knows very little about. I don't know who this is but I'm just giving a summary of the story all right okay. Should I consult someone else after this one's for you David okay so I like to complain about that. [22:52] I suppose many people do the Japan's new cybersecurity administer admits he's never used a computer. You know what that's awesome because he understands the dangers and he wants to stay safe from hackers and all sorts of other cyber threat so I think he's taking every possible precaution so in other words he's okay, yeah but everyone else on his stock has two phones two laptops three tablets their kids their wives all their Partners everybody in their constituency. Everybody's tweeting and slacking and putting all this information except him but I think he's a model I think he's leading by example is that. [23:41] Anybody could go through life and not use a computer at the well he says before he says he has people for that he just ordered other people use computers for him. Why would I want to do that I have people for that okay to remember back I think was a 2009 or so then you had a my six what been cord being see further, my husband just got a new job of the head of a life can be very loved those babies cody with the bs if and here's their family vacation pictures and here's where we're going to live been ants that like what's the weakest link it security human that's why we need killer ai to stop the weakest link pergo all we will stop the week is like for sure. I hate David you want to talk we just want to talk one thing is. Pratt Sam's is releasing a new book called beneath the surface and coming out in. A couple days a week from now so we'll try to get Brad on the podcast Brad shamelessly promote his dad is the robin to Paparazzi Batman. [24:49] Sure if you want to go that way I don't know why he work football throughout quite a bit this podcast, being etc and which you didn't have am on a show called the surface miss either that it will read the book care not read the book and overview ourselves I think it's much we're going to have a bias and informed review it might as well be from the author as opposed to Vermont. Yes all right cuz microsoft now got their own e book reader and her yoni bookstore are i think of that see it. [25:19] Music. [25:27] Alright so I'm only hoping waiting for this is why Peter is here today Peter brought some toys to show us and talk about. [25:35] Start with peter think very much so. Give some people some ideas for Christmas over the holidays coming up if they're for you or if they're for some of the people some things to think about so. Just some of the products I brought in one of them is a mobilelite wireless router and the reason why I got one of these from Kingston was it was go. Able to save me all kinds of pain so that my kids could actually stream and watch some movies in the van unfortunately this thing belongs in the wood chipper literally in the wood chipper it's about that useful. The main reason for it is the. [26:25] Light mobilelite Wireless G3 no idea why I bought that was I could stick in. A memory card put some movies on it sticking in here and the kids will be able to stream the movies in the van on a ten hour trip in the van the problem is. [26:43] There were two apps to download neither one word one of them one of them you used if you wanted to stream the movie one of them you wanted to use it to download the movie to download the movie in the van over the fast wireless network was going to take probably about 15 to 20 minutes, so you might as well just look out the window, so that one that one is just not very useful I spent more time yelling at the kids in the back of try this try that you know then I just stopped don't use it at all why didn't you return it. Cuz I had our it again way too long so I bought it okay okay i'll just in in a month or two because it was on sale i figured fantastic it's on sale they were really little too expensive for me and i five all we took was on sale but it was a month and half two months before christmas and then when i finally got the use it it was past date that I could return it so that was to get pitched next one are screen protectors for your phone I'm a big iPhone screen protectors a lot of people think while I got Carrillo 3 Grill at 4 on my phone it's not a big deal I thought I should they shouldn't scratch problem is. Those that did the types of screen protector the gorilla glass that's on them they're not really made for puncture. [27:55] Pressure points so if you happen to drop it just at the wrong spot on the ground crush on the corner there to help if it falls on the hegemon right haveman but it'll stop the scratch it'll it'll listen to scratch it the thought process that I'm thinking is it's much cheaper to replace a $20. [28:16] Screen protector then it is a $200 screen so on my last phone I, 5x the whole kit on the outside came I took my phone apart surprise surprise I took it apart and it actually comes as a whole assembly unit you can't just replace the glass itself the whole thing is is is a unit so the whole side case there the back this one's a pixel so when I, so I pick someone I got it on for half price I put my other one broke I went into a bootloop and I thought okay well I'm not too pixel 3 is coming out I don't want to buy $1,000 pixel 2 so what am I going to do I ended up finding a pixel, wine insure auto for half price I'm trying to work Stellar it's absolutely wonderful so now I have a bit of time before I feel that I want to buy the pixel. [29:06] You like these I like the screen protector because if the screen scratches its The Protector, the whole idea is on the protector there's about three different kinds of protectors of the first guys the floppy one that's that's the one that the float is a bus that too low piece of plastic strainer of that's right and all the protein you have double that and you have that was the problem with that one is just the finger status as a go then the next level is you've got a thick plastic so that still Lisitsa still better your your finger slides across and that is really good for the scratches the next level up is about a 20 or $30 price point and that's where you get into this Osceola thought that it starts this the finger smudges right. Set that doesn't start really stop means at. [29:57] Oil okay and it it it works so Stellar I can see my finger sliding across. [30:05] When I put them on the S8 which has occurred screen yeah they break. So if I can put a new one on my phone every month in the break so I've got I don't have one of the ones with the curved screen on this one with the way that they solved it on this pixel phone is it doesn't actually extend the Paso record only lasted a month and I'm spending $10 a month on screen protectors you might want to get one of the older ones now the benefit of the older ones they're cheaper there but five six bucks now mac and about ten bucks your getting the plastic one, the plastic one if people complain about the the the light going through opps alot of like when i have a similar one here's the it's the glass tempered glass ones, where's the one that you recommend I like the tempered glass so what happened on mine i happen to slam it on the table one day at least have for something in a slab in that i pick up the phone going ho few it didn't actually crack then i turned it on and in the light i could see this this spider if i am gonna hyper the real screen it's only 3 months old okay I got to live with it long story short a year later I go to change the actual screen for screen protector that it shattered not there real screen. [31:22] So this was wonderful I could have changed it a lot earlier I know a couple of people that swear that they won't ever buy, screen protectors my problem is if you have your phone for two three years it's gonna get use not going iphones for your ultimate. [31:41] Some pretty pics of shaved and someone says it's a decent. Medical okay there's a scratch there's a scratch there's a there's a okay not a problem it's minor. But if you ever. You rather replace a twenty dollar screen protector than an actual two hundred on the screen so that's the decision point when it comes down to it but if you've got a thousand dollar phone plan but are you willing on your furniture. [32:07] Maybe that you might have a reason to put that fabric on the furniture but that's that that's for kleiner flick okay if so difficult to see a whole lot so, your verdict. This is a definite by your verdict know because it breaks its it's all a conspiracy very cool you're looking to get a mouse for a friend of yours one of the things that you want to actually consider is corrugated or cordless which i would think of not even i would just automatically assume cord Leslie's gliss I'm thinking the exact opposite. Just because everyone's wireless devices are around me there's all kinds of wireless devices especially when you're in at office please. [32:59] I've recently changed change companies I've now in it in a day, to 300 people there is how many countless mice wireless keyboard some phones tablets laptops speakers there's all kinds of wireless devices all over the place i had one of these new, Microsoft cordless mice the this one is the Microsoft sculpt ergonomic Mouse it's wonderful I love this melts except. Every afternoon feel not between the hours of about 1:30 to 3:30 this thing would stutter I'd be going across the screen expecting a fluid motion and he would stutter it would skip on me and I'm like what is going on this drive me nuts the only thing I can think of that makes sense is its interference throughout the building are these other wireless devices going on be nice to know one way or the other however i ended up, what. [34:11] No the cheaper they like 40 bucks or something about 50 bucks on it from the Microsoft store The only hiccup is between this one and the one that was from about 18 years ago is the court is a little bit stiffer. So no. Are you willing to get them at all to either for one rep announced, Soviet the thing. [34:43] The thing is is where the problem is that when it's on your desk if you've got this mouse cord that stiff what ends up happening is is it gets caught inevitably on the monitor or the monitor stand so I didn't. It is up slowing down when you're scrolling across when you got your right across it's an abstraction for drake it's an extra drag it's an obstruction so that was the one thing that what they make him wireless how to attach and agree to our actually cake here's the thing if you like the intellimouse here's the one thing that I found that I lost on the sculpt Mouse you can actually go sideways on the roller ball it will actually go sideway so if you're on up if you're on the web page and you want to be able to go left and right. You've actually got either use the keyboard or you've got to use you guys use the scroll bars at the bottom of your browser on. Not sure it's got a universal adapter so on the intellimouse you lose that. [35:44] You don't have that so for me i like to tell a mouse i also like the skull mouse there both buys. I would I would strongly suggest these guys. [35:59] The Dove soap early 1990s late 1980s you paper mache one and I was one for Halloween one year. What the PS2 connector and everything, weeks to make it and people i were it be possible a that makes of lotus it yo whats the on off what would you flush the rougher. So the next one that I have is an Asus Transformer mini so I got these for for my kids, and the whole idea was I needed something that was relatively inexpensive that wasn't going to break the bank we didn't want to buy, one expensive to have four kids the idea was I couldn't buy two of them I could buy two surfaces, I'll buy a surface I looked at the prices they were a little too expensive for what I was looking to get out of them so then I thought I hate this anybody have a used one someone did David and I thought okay this is but now I have a problem, my kids well, we try and teach them to share well and for the most part they do but kids being kids they all want to get on the computer the same time so. I had to ask santa what's the best thing to do so he went to his house. [37:29] I need basically said comes out at Christmas time see if there's any sales the day before Christmas last year Christmas I'm looking at these and they were on sale wonderful, what's keyboard with the keyboards like a cheaper than Mercedes eyeless exactly and The Stylist so my partner loves The Stylist I would rather use the finger cuz I always lose the stats I would rather. [37:58] The missing of that serie so the problem is on the east there at the really nice devices here's the major malfunction that i have but I didn't learn about this until afterwards when you close the lid, you've been playing a game you get the sound through the speakers pretty good speakers on the keyboard is great you puke you have separate the kids close the computer everybody goes the chris that that the kitchen table after supper they'll get back on the computer again for some reason I haven't figured out how or why the sound goes away. Will not come back the only way to get the sound back is to start stop and rebooted here comes in the next problem have you tried device manager to stop the sound card with if it's just the driver i haven't got in it and and at the low-level in the device manager start and stop it now cuz I thought that's a little hard to tell an eleven-year-old easiest to restart the problem is starting this bad boy you gotta press and hold the button. [39:01] That's also how you put it into into hibernation not sleep by you that's how you turn it it's not hot it's how you turn it off and how you you make it go to sleep, so you don't get any any any physical feedback it's very poor of the physical feedback on, yes it's so whether you press it down for a long time or with the you press it down for a little instant cuz that's the old surface are t you still do that if you press it why is it would just go away s are way the screen with. [39:34] We go black and in a certain pattern if you press and hold it for a long time it would instantaneously go right away so there was some feedback are some visual feedback this guy doesn't have it goes to sleep or it turns off kind of randomly. Is the set and i know windows key shortcut to have it. [39:52] Restart your restart yes I want to teach them the Windows PC because normally would end up happening is if you close it. And then you reopen it again and you going to your game and then there's no sound, or when it's of happening is i go to a drawing class for my kids and i downstairs and i i bring out this this actual tablet and i put in but the box peter i know i f, it's the analogous in August so I open this guy I put in the USB key navigate to 2 thank you for they're not made to restart quickly so it takes, all three for five minutes for it to restore really I thought it's not fast so I'm at similar issues and also Battlefield medic you see if it's the driver, and if it is you can go to older driver sometimes that's all that but it's similar situation Powershell script that I just got put on the taskbar yeah to, to actually kill the driver and restart it again so it's just a little. [41:18] So I got to get that from you in the past or spend twice as much in the surface go well where I did spend the money was I bought a of the SD memory card. Because the actual hard drive that's on these guys but not the platter drive but the so I thought okay it's got expandable memory the problem, if you're going that route and you want to buy one of these things right up right away. Don't wait try it out right away so what end up happening was I got one put some movies on it we go on a road trip come back Bubba block 6 months later. Thing is unreadable you can copy movies to it i can't enumerated i do a windows key to bring up with his explore try to go to the dr the whole thing is dick that little usp key is is can put. [42:09] So and it's a brand new 6 months go to micro SD card or USB key micro SD card eBay or Amazon what they'll do is they'll take up like an 8 gig card. And reformat is a 32 and so the if the factory to where the fat table makes it look like it's got that much space and it works great. [42:35] After 7 gigs would you stop what you're right past the actual physical capacity, thing just trial that will be like immoral to do that it's so we're back to nineteen eighty seven with floppy disks. Well that's what happens if that's what you have to do to. Due to with checked them see hey this is really physically a it at a gig or whatever the barbara for the numbers are someone just formatted it will it drop of i can mb are a file kitchen table on it that makes it think its thirty two when you writing to it okay, alright and it worked fine location table will work until. Replaced actually right yeah and mental there and that's white will i have to happen before and if so that the only go name brand or i run the tools on them to check the moment when they arrive okay so what tools you run on that i. I remember what it was I was using acronis okay. Of course I'll have to try that out the next time there's different ones you can check but but it's a it's a known issue they okay no I had gotten I think it was SanDisk. I don't think was a Kingston one of them was just saying. It was a really good deal on one of those deals. [43:55] Them other than the sound board in the sound what i think it is for the price for the functionality i do think it's a by my sister house for text okay this one is an interesting one I actually was looking for. [44:16] Smartwatch I smart watch and I was lucky enough my last work, they ended up having coming into a bit of money with an investment they bought everybody watches Stella this is wonderful I can get an Android Smartwatch I've been looking to buy one so very cool. You're not wearing it though I'm not no I'm not and the end and this is this this is Anna This Is War. [44:46] Are you like that with that was straight number one the fact is i can get basically about one or two days i could probably push it but here's the thing, when you got one of these smart watches you really have to decide why do I have a smart watch a lot of people have these SmartWatches because they say what because I want to track my steps I want to track my sleep I want to be able to do some of these athletic things because your phone does all that and I would be curious to find out and ask people, three weeks later I month later too much later are you still doing those activities so most of the people that I know. Aren't felt cute and his thing so I bought the Fitbit ionic I had a Garmin before at what I like but that's my issues with the charger on it about the Fitbit ionic but I bought it specifically as a. Fitness device and the bonus was I can get messages on it and things like that too but I bought it as a fitness advice and I was using it that I indicated, with MyFitnessPal and a bunch of other things if you're at work right my biggest issue with it is the recharging cycle yes so what I found on this one is I could change certain settings like turning off. [46:03] The the the heart monitor i could turn off the blue tooth i could turn off the wife i said, the more things that you turn off is the longer your let your battery will last i could at one point get it to about three four five days the problem is. Just watch at that point the hope of having a smart watch is to be able to do extra things with it like your text notification of the previous one that i had before but why it i've actually my partner had one in, deep the band didn't fit well on on her wrist so I thought I didn't like it because you only got your notifications once, so you really got to take a look at the features that you're getting if you can try it at the store first before you buy it, most definitely hook it up to your phone be careful hook it up do something so that you actually get some use out of it this one particularly I didn't quite like because the band itself oddly enough the band itself. [47:04] Your knees on your bottom of your wrist actually stiff as a hologram of not this one, when he got it will they advertise that you can try find one i try to fight you sure you could i realize you can take it apart, now try and find a different one it so. Still a clasp and it's the clasp when your hand is on the ground when you're actually resting years we lived strap like if. But. Actually have to know you could never strap this no problem. [47:48] If your are could you have to actually but without truffle to fit through there she have to take this bar out or just buy bars are like organ for free the jeweler there i am nickel. But you just spent four hundred bucks on a while and now you got to buy a strap they came with it for so now but you got to know what you're getting yourself into right the whole idea is to figure out what are you getting yourself into that was a surprise that I didn't realize that I was getting here. If you can buy from Costco or Amazon we go to return policy. Anderson store because that's not waiting to find out my biggest problem I love my Garmin can I go over a week then get to a week and a half I wear my watch I like the silent alarms and wake up my wife and things like that and I wake up earlier. But the problem is biotic is I get somewhere between three and five days on a charge it's not a regular on a regular cycle charging it and I can't really charge it at night why not. Because I'm doesn't wake me up in the morning cuz not on my wrist so yeah I get about 3 days out of this. [48:56] Where did night. See you seven hundred three days i'll put it on my and my contract and so i'd love one that this worked on my body motion mx around there that they have a flywheel and i charge it by going to the gym. And I'm surprised they haven't done that already cuz I think that would be stellar, they have regular watches that do that why can't get a charge out of these while they think they made a lot more power and the ability to change kinetic energy into DC and get it into the battery or looking at some pretty big machinery it's going to be it's going to be a little bit unwieldy review unit after the review. And I've had it for 2 years now and I still wear it and I haven't heard watch for probably 20 years so what do you use your watch for your weather and. Finding the phone actually have find the phone on the phone I can find my watch will you go both ways. [50:00] Only with enough only with a television. [50:08] Yeah I mean it does messages so you know you're going to look at a text message or whatever better why can't you lift up your phone I can alright everything else yes so the other the next thing routers if you're looking at getting a router one of the things that you probably want to take a look at that I assume i had on this right right lights i bought a net you're right or from my suggested i was hired as a problems with the range with the house and drop conductivity if you've got something like a rogers that the wife i rotors with rogers apparently there were the rumor has it they're terrible they dropped connections they're very poor at managing your wifi-connected so you're probably going to want to get a dedicated Wi-Fi router the thing is, you don't want to have both the with a Wi-Fi router from Rogers going as a Wi-Fi router you probably want to turn that on to a bridge, so once you turn that into a bridge people don't know what bridges are all I know is you turn that. [51:07] Box that white box from Rogers or Black Box depending which one you got you'd literally turn it back into just a modem you turn off the Wi-Fi capability. Okay that's the you turn it off okay fine so you don't have two different networks in here that's the one that that you are, dedicated Wi-Fi routers is providing you the problem of the surprise that came on this one for me was I. Start at the expense that I paid for this that I was going to be able to just out of the box set it up time of day service for certain devices Yorkie devices turn off and certain Divine L turn back on automatically at 8 in the morning course that works right of course it works I went and looked at it went to turn it on this interesting I have to now enable this thing called the circle. [52:02] Movie called so with that i had to turn on enable log in i had to create a new account go to circle so this is a new apparently product from Disney okay this is sounds sounds okay so I I connect, and it starts monitoring my connections and then I realize well I still don't have my time of day that I want to turn on and off I find it. [52:28] I have to pay five bucks a month I just spent a boatload of money on one of these nice on a Wi-Fi router that is super fast I can connect all kinds of devices in the house all simultaneously. But I can't do time of day service I have to pay an additional five bucks a month on this and and it just it it's something that I thought would just be for free, with the product of the motive of the router but I think what Netgear is doing is there they're basically offloading that type of of functionality cuz I don't want to deal with it so did you return the rotor or just let your kids get on the internet whenever they want I didn't return the router cuz I actually like the functionality that it was providing me I didn't want to go back to the LinkSys Wi-Fi router that I had and have. The how should I put hearing all everybody in the house complaining that this web page takes too long to load, this guy gets rid of those problems but i can't do the time of the service so. Buyer beware this is one of those where it goes in the middle. [53:47] It's too sarty a c six d eight you was the top of the line right at the time AC 1900 USB 3 slot media server built in and things like that I just put an external drive on it restore files or whatever. [54:13] If you wanted to use 5 gigahertz you couldn't use USB 3 for your media server. [54:18] So the main reason why I bought the red one of the theaters use if you're using the USB 3 it turns out to be the 5 gigahertz. Band and the USB 3 interfere they've got something weird going on with the interference on it it's a it's not it's not just a, Asus problem it's a bigger than that you think they were too cheap to buy the aluminum foil to put between the two of them I don't know what basically so anyways I have to go to USB to but I, speak transfer speed right so anyways lotta weird little things like that to interesting, okay what's next with an investment of but the by no by what is it and its in the middle in the middle. So see it's a by i have the lead with the media so i don't think that's the this i had esther next speakers, these are things that are probably going to be on someone's list at some point time in the future you get what you pay for that is basically what the sun is with the some of this is so I ended up getting a wonderful speaker and it's. [55:28] It was a wonderful gift for my sister I love it. Set it is a small speaker so it does click the noise is it it was. A bit of a gag gift and it and it worked. [55:48] I've got another speaker actually one I was lucky enough to win this speaker is one of the big pill Sony speakers at SharePoint Saturday from last year was an issue and it's a wonderful speaker I can put the power on connected to the phone it always connects and I can actually put it on so loud that when I'm at work, I can hear it throughout the whole office it is incredibly loud. [56:16] A recommends a few of them there some Chinese no name brand that he really likes all that they make him from Monster and Sonia and JBL right so if you're looking at getting a speaker if you can try it out wonderful if you can't try it out go with reviews and listen to what they say. Is it it if you'd if you bite. Hopefully that they're going to get a laugh out of it because otherwise you might be getting what you pay for. Let's go into the next one for some Audio headphones, phones can be very interesting if you're looking to buy some for somebody else i recommendation is don't unless they ask for specific ones that's right certificate if you can put a label on it put it up little yellow sticky do something don't necessarily buy it for somebody else so what i found is there's basically three different cleansers in here. On ear or over the ear so you've seen people walking down the street they've got these things are their heads are popping but you can't see what they're listening to Chances are they in the ear headphones. [57:33] So within the ear, there's all kinds of different there's subtleties with with the different kinds there how they they go inside the ear if you're looking for something for long-term if you're if you're at work and you want to listen to music while you're doing some support while you're doing some tickets while you're, doing some investigation and you're going to be having your headphones on for like 4-5 hours chances are you going to want something that's either on or over-the-ear my suggestion is over the ear. [58:01] Because i find that on the ears i got a pair of these lychee texas think they're h four nineties the problem iphone, if you're wearing glasses they pinch the ears after a vote, 15 minutes what are they there their Logitech and I think they're the the 490 SR5 90s I ended up thinking okay well that they're going to be over the ear so they should be comfortable they've got the leatherettes, for that the foam padding that should be fine and for that when you put them on your head they feel wonderful, okay for the first 5 minutes and then well okay then it's time to buy them you pull the trigger you go to the cashier pay you go home you put them on you listen to them for 5 minutes you forget about, then you end up on a long conference call and then you start to know that hurts ouch what's going on and then you realize. Oh it's pinching on the glasses so I noticed calling you got glasses David You Don't See, don't worry pretty girl. [59:02] So have you ever had a problem with your headphone yes okay see you know so i've actually avoided using these guys i'm. I have to admit I've got some on here that I don't mind that's the jabbers are pretty good okay some of them have an adjustable tension bands as well so the more the better that does not adjust the tension band well I can I can I can Brute Force doing this and I'm actually what I'm actually trying to do is spread them, keep them so that they're spreading and you have to be very gentle cuz I'm afraid one of these days they're just going to snap which won't be a big loss cuz that's how I feel got some chapters I got a few that are pretty good but typically I go so I use all kinds of different earbuds and on here I don't use on here that often I typically use over the ear but we're wearing now I got the. [59:50] I've got some for what would be considered audiophile headphones wearing some right now I've got two sets of sennheiser's I really like I've got some. Audio-Technica really like 1144 classical music other ones more for rock and roll oh so you tell your headphones there's also a open back vs. closed back versus, deal with open back vs. closed back which one is is is better in general so all things being equal the clothes back will be better for private listening where you don't want people around you to hear what you what you're listening to the open back has more liquid because the back is open but, but it gives you more of a Sound Stage presence that more of a like if you like Symphonies and you want to come in the violins are there left in this year. If you just close the two a conference call it all at the theater so but no you for listening music and dependent cup music listing to write a. [1:00:50] So you get more of a more of a soundstage and more it's wider open Sound but the downside is. The sound is actually coming out everybody else's a what's nine as mileage but yeah if you give your right here you be here when i'm listing to work with clothes back i could pri pretty private about everything to so yeah i'm listening to. [1:01:13] Something that I don't want you to hear then. Not at not necessarily appropriate very cool so if you're getting something for the office you may want to get the clothes back if you're getting something in a drawer in a door, oh that would be nice yes having a door would be nice all right next on the list if you're looking for keyboards. [1:01:34] This is Microsoft ergonomic 4000 I have that that was a set that came with the mouse's well right no this one is just the keyboard I have another version that came with the 5,000 I had that other 4,000 still have it at home somewhere else as well and I think the 5000 was a marketing skew that was specifically it was your head up with as a plus the meds. What's an ergonomic keyboard it's a shipping label so, basically when you go to type on the keyboard if you've got a regular 101 tell the waffles what you end up to hack what ends up happening is you have to shrink in your shoulders you can shrink in your elbows you have to twist your arms and your attitude your attitude. Awful angle it's The Cypher else so the problem there is it's not natural for your body could to contort that way, it's not a yoga class how should have your body Contour the way that I equated to is Kama Sutra, call Achu how do you catch the basketball like a great not like when you were in grade 5 have a girl. [1:03:00] Yeah but I'm not as big as you are more selfish think that you are so the ideas you catch it more like this so the ideas. If you were to put your hands on to a basketball that's flat on the desk your hands are actually going to be coming in from the side at about what a 30-40 degree angle and at the end your wrist is going to have around it approach so this is where ergonomic keyboards come in and and and help you imitate so Microsoft has basically two of these they've got the ergonomic sculpt and they've got the older 4000 of the prices of these of drop-down I've got v so much i've bought about seven or eight of them should be by before you buy more yet talk to me because okay we get friends and family pricing of microsoft oh that would happen that would be very nice because the way I I drink coffee and I've I've lost a couple of these. [1:03:58] Taught never used it. Hook up still working so the thing is what I like about this keyboard, is I like the key press mechanism that's on them the other thing is all the keys except the top top top row it's all the same mechanism right so what's the alternative on the Microsoft sculpt keyboard, it's got its got the hole in the middle at the sculpture carved out the problem is, the regular keys Microsoft has said we wanted to be the millennial Market that we're going after so they've got more of the chiclet Style. And if you're from the 80s or remember that, he said Junior Disney Junior that did chick like here it's not that chick with it's the new Millennial Chiclets Oak the problem is on that sculpt keyboard. Three different types of button key press mechanisms so our regular key the shit keys the function keys and then there's another set of keys they all have different key presses so I figure if you're a programmer or if you're a typist and you just you want to have the similarity across all keys it's not going to happen now if you're if you also happened to move your hand across the top and you just going by feel the function keys are in the same places that drives me nuts so and also what I thought was a godsend was the number pack floats it's on battery wonderful I can stick it on the left hand side. [1:05:26] Calling when you do control shift delete when you do that you're three-finger salute instinctively go there this is three fingers permission how much whiskey to put in a glass. [1:05:49] They are cool very cool so david when you doing copy paste yeah what do you do for copy paste your gonna use the rodent control the control seat while freaking control the pastor. [1:06:01] Inside job if you're using the metal we can control but if you're using the number for used to the number pad being on the right hand side I thought I could teach myself to use the number pad on the left hand side I can't marry last time I used to never had on every course so that would be wonderful for you because on that ergonomic sculpt keyboard you can actually take the sticker on the left but here's the problem that I have. [1:06:28] If you've got the mouse this mouse right here the sculpt Mouse guess how many different types of batteries you have to buy, three different devices take a while get three three different types of batteries going to have on the most you're going to have the double as the keyboard takes the Triple A's I think behind the there's a cr2035 I think on the on the number pad three different types, batteries that you've got us have stepped away in your drawer just in case the batteries go bad at the wrong time so you got to have those stuck away squirreled away just in case I didn't quite like that and the fact that there's the difference types of key presses so I'm not a fan of that sculpt keyboard I know it I know a lot of programmers they're not a fan of those keyboards they like the 4000, the recording that's just of your headphones all okay but all of this is all this is really a way to screw with the gas money is so that's not be recorded and a place out to the peters headphones yes yes all, you can really get our guess. [1:07:39] Play pass the dutchie by Sonic Youth cuz he's talking with the left hand side so. Okay okay there no vf4000 is a definite Buy, okay okay. My last company i was lucky enough to drive a tesla this was hansen and yes and. The X the model X it's the one that after I know it looks one. Here's the problem. [1:08:23] The first point on notes take a wild guess 200 will the ones I priced it was. What she cheaper my god i called her your driving now that that's i drive a uc bruce huff thousand when i bought it now it's worth it so this is worth ten times that i know so here's the thing. After a couple of hours saves the environment that one's and that's why they don't have to pay taxes they get a refund and they're allowed to drive in the kitchen people at four hundred thousand dollar cars need tax breaks. 6 hour plate with a new battery and you can actually buy a new charger for your house so you buy $120,000 Tesla and it comes with a free but you have to have a DIY project to install this new electric charging station for your garage or use the slow charger yeah you need to run extra cables. [1:09:23] USBC no not now so you can plug it in the house and I had to do that, range anxiety is a real thing I know I passed what I thought but I was driving to Peterborough by this Tesla is going like 78 miles an hour why is the sky going so slow. So you've got in laws way up North how long does it take to travel to get there to get to Timmins yes oh they died. But yes that take by the seven day long the governor eight hours seven or eight hours left it in laws that are up north as we about to three hours north of tenants the problem is the roads and did that to misc timmins. No no the polar bear Express the problem is I punched it into the computer. The tesla and it says how do i get there it was about four days and there was no more charging stations passed sidebar, actually had to get rowdy through separated go through north bay it when three separate and that was the last place in actually said you cant get there from here. [1:10:44] Yeah and I was flabbergasted so you rent a gas car for those times. [1:10:50] But I just spent a hundred twenty Grand order rental cars or the salt at that you have a program for those times you need a gasoline engine that they lend you one. You are my sky Pilates what I've what I've read and what I've told what I've been told and what I, unable to figure out if they want to have these self-driving cars this year the model 3 that they want to come out with you it's basically an interior washable car with this equate sociable. So the idea is you know when you go into these public washrooms and they clean themselves they got this hoes ever been but I've heard them they want to do that type of idea what the model X are the model 3 and the idea is they wanna be able to happen so that you can say I want my 50-60 however model what's a model 304 5262 I want to use that and make money for me why should I say it's boring for me making me money. I got a couple problems with that here's my problem ever what you spend 60 Grand on a car are you going to want to loan it out, to a friend of yours probably on my money out through the bank. [1:12:07] But that's not going to happen at all I guess I could have an accident yet but it it's going to be a little different from a car accident, so here's the thing they want to loan this out and have it running through and end. If you spend 60 Grant you're not going to want to have to do that hold on Uber is going to buy a fleet of them. So Uber is going to buy Harley wants to do is have individuals have this supplement economy. Correct so that's right here in pa if i ever wanna use your heidi. [1:12:48] How do you tell other people there's a cop on the road. Why aren't you do you i beach to find out if any of the readers i actually had to use while that is because that's why plus why flatbread of the through the down the street and i flush the page can you just ruled by a police officer and it's just common courtesy these that's what i was told but that's beside an 80s rule do new drivers know this. Forks of my son's a big car guy other than one of the very few of his friends are. He watches the grand tour and he still really liked, your oil level in jewels and they're talk money in england i don't have the numbers right but it isn't over the last twenty years they got less than. They went out at 75% less people applying for driver's license. [1:13:42] 75% less round trip across all UK or just in London but so as an example the way they would have been. 20000 people apply for driver's license typically new drivers and younger people they were 5000. I'm continuing to still have to book 6 months ahead and then continue to drop so the problem with that is that is going to encourage all the self-driving cars what the problem with a self-driving car. The problem with the the self-driving car is. Gotta be taught how to steer into the skid sure sure i don't think it's gonna get it right every time that i get right battles lol humans did are you sure but i would rather trust a human eighty skating then a computer cuz it could fly I would not good humans but not most humans. [1:14:36] I don't believe humans reaction in a skid is not thoroughly is not to release the brake and stare into it it's to steer away from it and hit hard hit harder on the break. I am looking and look at the tree so that's where they and he lied creek rolls in so we've tried to come up with systems. To help these situations and that's where antilock comes in that's where the there's the traction control so there's there's things that can be part of the car when I'm driving down the street in my car I turn off the traction control, and the reason is because that the nanny bought that's on the car actually hinders me when I'm driving I got stuck in the middle of an intersection because the traction control said over the wheels are spinning too fast I can't have that we got it we got it monitor Nevada Matic don't you oh I didn't say I love stick so I'm sitting there going I'm in the middle of the intersection stuck on a snow cuz the plow drove by how do I get off at 8 so I got to rock the car and these new drivers he's 5000 drivers they don't know nothing about rocking a car I don't necessarily need a license I've got public transportation I've got Uber they don't need it. [1:15:55] My niece and nephew I thought they'd be chomping at the bit to learn how to drive, it's very different for it because they could just get Uber to go to go drive from it also it's so expensive to allow a young person drive your vehicle insurance side so they don't want it it it does get expensive it does get expensive. The one thing that I thought was interesting was I broke it. [1:16:25] Actually broke I actually broke it, aight four billion of it hardly enough i was thinking of this like a break stuff i, with the Tesla I was showing people how the button on the back seat works it's all electronic you press the button that beat the seat goes out of the way wonderful. I was nervous hundred $20,000 vehicle it won't come back up it's mechanically setup it must be must have learned a lesson or two from Apple because the seat basically says what you want to do that no no I can do that better than you, i will do that for you i press the buttons it wont come back up again it doesn't have a latch that says on no no no, I could do this more than you I know what I want to do and have the seat come back up so another words this seven-seater was now a 5-seater because the backseat was stuck in the downward position. Okay that's bad enough this is a common problem I Googled it make it okay how much is this going to cost me so I Googled it this is a common problem it is a warranty able problem wonderful, okay why did we get the tesla can. [1:17:37] So it saves the environment I don't believe it but I did say it, turn will come back to that what is that so here's the thing how do they fix the seats the ship you a brand new one from montreal, descend a mechanic from Montreal we don't have any dealerships in Ottowa they ship a seat from Montreal receipts of God if he was 7500 lb

[3:05] Maybe not everywhere in LED OneNote MVP can tell you when it was released okay OneNote audio alright anything else to move on. [3:15] Let's move on. New story of the week news David so first news story today is what's the date today it is in last week Microsoft among other. Tech Titans released earnings and their q1 earnings were 29.1 billion they beat the street. Amazon did not beat the street, I heard that potentially Microsoft was worth more than Amazon for a little. Of time but also Microsoft commercial cloud is far outstripping Amazon's commercial cloud in what measure, sales revenue okay but that's been going on all year, early in or q one and of continue to do so and base and have a gonna compensate, Microsoft they should be continuing to do that, yes yes of course so if you want to take a look at the Microsoft commercial Cloud I think it was what 76 or 76% growth wow, this quarter over la, set Lobster same quarter no no no no. [4:37] And your Enterprise Mobility which is in tune and things like that 88 million seats. Can you believe that I like the number two player nobody ever hears about Entune everyone knows mobileiron an air Watt, I literally never hear from it from the customers I work with which is hot right now this is sold seats right so anyways. And windows only am growing three percent so hundred and fifty five million commercial office get three hundred twenty five million subs. Tumors so roughly speaking let's just round that up to two hundred million. That is a lot. That's what 15% of no wait wait some weird math there a hundred fifty-five million hundred 55 + 32 is 887 if you want the exact number .5 but. That's almost 200 million subscribers that's that's awesome that is. And those are paid those are page and like things like Yahoo mail, I don't know I sure at some point in time was much higher surface Revenue grew 14%. [5:56] Valley last year they had this big Surface Pro for the North Avenue devices that quarter, are the surface go in the summer but then the laptop and the new, remember this artist porosis quarter ending end of September that's right so the goal was in there but that's not a big rubbing you think I don't like one or two rights August so this is based on previous there's a sleeper 33% not sure why. [6:26] I have a god damn connection learning and linda and i'm gonna have to break that down as a gender change from. A person's female name to, can learning and list better but anyhow alright so that's great for microsoft earnings those of us all microsoft's stock and you microsoft past the eight hundred billion dollar mark and pull back with the rest of the dow today and I'm not sure if they've surpassed out and check today whether there they surpassed Amazon or not, the heater on track for being actually another company of this system number though it is just a number alright. [7:08] So This is not really news but it was leaked and i kinda like that i want to cover it and bullshit perm the rumors but well that was real work microsoft was working on. Pink second screen and into first lumia the whole idea behind this was that the. And leap now microsoft was going to. [7:32] Release this could have gone with any of its Windows phones the idea being that people want some Dynamic content stuff at updating all the time and there's things that they want to keep just candy, you're getting on the plane and using any ticket if that's what you want available there but you don't want to have your phone on all the time it would be a great feature wouldn't that there's my ticket, set the. Wow that is fantastic four tickets but that was one of the things they're working on end. She's a few things that you might want to use eating for so that's a neat little new story there I wanted to include in today's news, we talk more about it it's kind of for quite some time so. Lots of rumors around dual-screen devices and it was talking about Andromeda and Samsung having a deals cream coming out so through old bendable all those exactly. And. [8:41] What's next on news leyva what is the worst Windows 10 version ever. [8:48] We don't know i would imagine that this the one that hasn't released in october, well you know they've always had the opportunity to being late and they've always messed up sorry nothing but, summit and eighteen tennis five don't think that the end product itself will be bad it's just that they kinda messed up a couple things about, deleting people's Files video drivers also Intel drivers can do all sorts of things so perfect storm of bad windows we'll come back and we'll talk about I don't think they taking this much advantage of the windows Insider to test if I think I take advantage while they're taking advantage of them I don't think they use them as best as they can all right so that's a little bit of a downer we can anything else you want to talk about that or two okay some other news I don't know if it's good news or bad news but Windows is now running on 1 and 1/2 billion devices what are they used to be. [9:52] Something less than that buu could be more notes and that's more than ios. So really yes. I don't think Apple's of has the ship to more than 1.5 billion iPhones and iOS devices iPods and iPads. The real key here is that, prom 2016 I have an article that says it was 1.0 billion right though it's growing so that meat thing is it's, the number to platform for modern devices definitely Android will be dying Android over 2 billion. [10:36] Yeah one of the issues with Windows phone and being with Windows as developers not what I develop for it because aren't they didn't have that Marketplace sure they didn't think they could get that that they couldn't monetize their called with 1.5 billion devices. The different story was 1.44 last year I mean nothing's really is really changed but it is it's big and as people move off of Windows 7 and we'll talk more about that later. [11:07] Others no opportunity there so. What are things we talked about last week was the EU, back in July but I know what that means for Google right, but maybe that's an opportunity for Microsoft as well now and we'll talk more about why a might be the perfect time Microsoft bring back, Windows 10 mobile I tweeted that today we got a lot of retweets alright next new story David more than half of the devices and prices on Windows 10 that's interesting commit last week were talking about how many were out there and we're wondering how that is it starting to tip i'm doing a lot of work around windows ten projects people have to get off its what four hundred days away now yeah, something like that to general fourteen twenty twenty and you know the last. Half hopefully she go quicker for some organization some organizations for example will start that will be a good stop getting in faith my customer struggling all. [12:02] Don't talk about that later okay they're struggling because some of the tooling for upgrading from Windows 7 is not working as expected, and they're having a goal with a wipe and reload when they have been killed piloting and testing for an In-Place upgrade which is the way of Microsoft really wanted people to do it but some of the cooling system, it has expected what a lot of the machines will fall off and be replaced church so they're certainly like a fifth via machines you can count on for that, so half of the machine so how many is that in percentage is David. [12:39] And half the machines developer how much more than fifty six fifty point one and it that you're quoting mary jo fully of the article there and so. Okay let's just go with it we're definitely crackerjack reporters 5 billion and 700 million machines it's almost the exact same number. When students i think. [13:06] .5 million Windows machine PS 100 million seven hundred million windows. Machine it was like a texts also have fifty percent no to hot slightly below fifty percent of that that's half it's the right its a fifty percent but if that is half of one point four billion. Yes it's a thousand hundred million it's not that much, it's almost half it had all the David I'm glad in your world a hundred millions of rounding error. Right so here's something i've been talking about for a long time, and the microsoft is positioning always think a pc is the future of business devices so you know for me, live in three big feet big things that hard drive me towards any machine that been waiting for the usb c for everything. I charging all of that. [14:16] LTE Lots the always-on and everything's liabilities I've got some strange, comic is shares a tooth all well there's lots of reasons we can talk about lap ability separately but for me that's that's an issue ninety touch and all that we think that we have a lot of those up ability is device by device, thing but LTE on there's a lot of advantages here one yo. You always let it we're not searching for you not using Starbucks hack Wi-Fi or airport hacked Wi-Fi or security. [14:53] Availability there's way more available than there is Wi-Fi. For the most part yep reduced-cost reduce class because organizations don't have to maintain their own Wi-Fi necessarily the people who are mostly out of the office when they come in the office there's no reason for them to be connecting to anything in particular. And then you could start moving to other other systems like Branch offices and continue and continue until, you really have only networks in your attitude Center carriers, probably start to offer some kind of a private network, on top of the lt or five g or whatever. Texas Method there they're providing that time but I think there's definitely going to be a push towards that. And it's going to come from the carriers as well not just Microsoft and then cuz they're not really a Sim provider Bugatti symbol that's about it. And device manufacturers of course have to get on board. [15:59] So here's the next news item that kind of ties into that okay because when we talk about arm chips, I'm chips of typically yo when they do the sock the the system-on-a-chip kind of thing is almost always had. [16:18] Lt motor built in fact write the kind of would have to order them without it for says yeah packs are to get it so one talk on another device, we talked about it very quickly last week but it's a Samsung Galaxy book to with guess what David. What. [16:46] It's there is now actually a Hands-On review from neowin and we can talk a little bit about that. The interesting thing is if you take a look at it it is almost the same as, surface keyboard with very similar Pro it's got the kickstand it's almost the same dimensions and their lost device didn't ever fix and that was just awful to keep writing so. [17:18] It Sucka gpus wall around Reno 6:30 Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 it's a 12in display 2160 X 1440 which is very similar to a Surface Pro 2, yes pc. I thought MicroSD and nano SIM how come Microsoft can't put 01 in butt out that's good and. Come to the pain that comes with keyboard. [17:49] And the thousand dollars us which is quite a bit less than yeah surface pro it is about the cheapest of pro. Expense in the chips from. [18:00] Yes I'm sure but not when you include the keyboard in the month and it comes with type S. [18:11] So Thai password Windows Windows SS home. This is a car and you can switch its regular Windows 10, for no charge last 10 home in S Mode yes it's not Windows RT that you can switch out it's when it's an s in it, alright well. They've got it thanks could work out really bad Okay so. [18:49] We've got more Microsoft news you got some other news you want to Microsoft news. [18:58] Color hair care feeney surface with but it what's i got this little article in my funeral newsfeed and was care free to service the house while this is going to be really la barba color bead where the kids happy to do dot drop my new surface. So they start off with. Basically gentle caring cleaning which is kind of a don't drop it say that the important do not apply liquids directly to your surface hey you know those who don't know that already are in trouble and no power cord you don't route the power cord up to tight you know, or I do next and Alcantara material if your keyboard don't let it dry before you clean it off yeah I think it's Rob silly little things that really but they mentioned battery health so don't don't, do them stop from with this crack and they also say you should at least once a month you should this charge it totally. Store in a cool dry rooney not using it is there like a white cell we're office for the air heating broken guess so anyhow so a lot of them are really simple things that you that. Right that you don't put liquid sunscreen fine we all know that but once a month drain it fully 50%. [20:16] Oh okay just half way okay let's is it true earths surface go and start the cold rush face i think they really mean is don't store in your car. Okay it's just charge the battery in the week we used to always do this back in the day with phones and all that other stuff and people stop doing that. And the Battery Technology really you would like to do. Okay so that's it for Microsoft news and we've got one last piece of music not if not directly related Microsoft, okay sure is more directly related to add say to other companies. [20:55] And i be am i bm bought red hat, 433 billion so first time I heard 34 billion it's only hundreds of millions different so I think it's the same number, okay that is a huge amount of money even for a large company like idea. A positive minus a hundred thoughts and it's still alive. [21:24] What do you think of it why did why did ibm do all that really why effects of the they both needed it and its a desperate measure so right now test for measured thirty three billion tell you what okay the IBM and redhead are not talked about in the big player face, you talk erratically google that but apple id but amazon but facebook it when occasionally microsoft and microsoft will my spouse of their items here here's the thing. [21:54] IBM has become non-relevant, devices perspective cuz they got out of the Lenovo unit right sure they still have them. Okay I saw the PC side Lenovo right and then they kept their server-side. Play in the club right so become less relevant there the still of them as the mainframe business but again known to maine for the month of the cloud weather not real writing a new mean for, hey because the team somewhere but maybe they still have their mid-range like they're a S400 and stuff like that but again whose, was last time you saw anybody working asked 400 right 2 weeks ago Wednesday night trying to do a refund it was a green screen I asked him what it was he said it was a S Finder i don't always have the answer right quick tips fingertips with the subject alright so alright so the hear my ibm's can less real than what does ibm have the whole Global Services large footprint of it professionals many many of them are Microsoft certified but that's beside the point what does redhead have. [23:07] They've got a decent OS that got a decent, virtualization stack some argue more performance than the and we're really okay they have this, openstack their their openstack player there they are peripherally a Cloud Player they like to think that they are but they're not but but IBM don't have a cloud doesn't really work Labs stock, they've had their data centers you could friend for ever yes, but they don't have a full stack no solution they have to park and have to partner if partner and red hat has a partial club stock they don't really have the data center, IBM does that why didn't have a footprint so together, they are three big players in Cloud are Microsoft and my number one that's enough in Revenue in Revenue Microsoft Amazon and Google, and help vmware's been cozy, IBM's blow Google oh well below well below. [24:11] And the support of us to work, like the both of us, he's becoming less and less relevant in the cloud space because the other day why do people want redhat versus any other product I thought the only reason was because you had support support, is there any other reason why I missing something. [24:38] They had better Cooling and things like that compared to other lennox's maybe better support for third-party tools and stuff like that right everybody supports redhat yeah but take a look at the. [24:52] Badger badger sound like 30% of all the VM thing running Asher are Linux VM and red Hat's a first-class citizen there. And so if you're running Red Hat what's the right why would you not maybe run Santa's. [25:14] Yes because you're not red hat if you're running your own data center because you want to make sure it works at your HP servers are your Dell servers or your was that other coming to make server so IBM, if you're running in the cloud somebody else's Hardware if they're going to support center state-supported for you that's part of it I sent Racino who makes sent us. It's community-based it's totally worth RedHawks is just an addition to the sentence I'm not a Linux guy so I'm going to make some things out of a shirt but work with me though. [25:50] Red Hat has the fully supported first class citizen red hat and red hat Enterprise Linux whatever works interrupt to then they have this other thing that's free called Fedora which Trails behind usually a few game free version and then there's a community in Denver that is Cintas which is community supported which is 50 binary code compatible, to Red Hat Enterprise Linux likes a bit but not as far back as Fedora and put or just have some things that are missing and then there was the selinux that was originally created by, oh I can't some US government organization maybe. That they that they created a secure secure version of Linux track that they gave to Red Hat as the custodian, those are the versions that are out there i'm on the server. Talk about red hat very very few people use read how does a desktop OS. You could but so that puts IBM, in a position that it's a bit of a desperate gamble but to stay relevant so if they're going to they went so high for price that really how much LinkedIn go 427. [27:13] True true and it's okay it went for. Hey Google I don't know what the financials were so I know that IBM stock dropped and red hat stock went out. Makes red had a little bit more credible basis um i think it might end up being a bit late oracle with the try to do everything on their own and no because he recently partnered up. But I think they have their own version of Linux they have the other bots on then they killed it so the crow, right who hasn't yeah so it happened sometime for Microsoft your son was oracle's Nokia. [27:56] Okay as if you were an Enterprise with lots of Red Hats would you see this is a positive thing, I don't know because I probably already had a strategy for either on pram or cloud already with a cloud provider I just got to make a compelling to me though so if you were already going with that you were seeing the advantage of with the free lennox vs having to pay for red hat you might only gonna wear like it's still my red hat workload stash or amazon yeah amazon's a little bit different but i lose their tools from right have to move to either them. So now it's going to have to be to potentially at IBM data center Mitchell for that we just don't know I would imagine there is yeah but. [28:40] We shall see is it too little too late that's what I'm worried about. The different Cloud providers already have staked out their markets Microsoft is the, S&P 500 crowd Amazon is the born in the cloud startups and those that want to build their own passport in the classroom, stop it look companies like Netflix and Facebook that are building huge application that are going to build their own fabric now they're on Amazon, yeah so that means companies that use both and that's going to be the case here what does that mean one-size-fits-all you pick the one that makes sense for you Microsoft is also got the pass massage market right with their Office 365 and other services or you're not going to go to IBM and get your Office 365, Android. And then Google is really staked out that way I know that. [29:42] Geography base types to give. It wouldn't global positioning system type enabled software that they all have that but can't get were google play ball things if when you go on integrated google maps and things like that applications like that sir ch. So what's what's your phone saying that David it's, it to start searching when you set okay if i have to wiggle. OK Google, yeah doesn't listen to me but listens to me so I don't know what we're going to stake out a different territory babe I got to go after Financial Services b****** with the IBM and so strong again or something like that. [30:25] Music. [30:33] What is Microsoft Microsoft stopped adding new features to Windows 10. [30:43] I don't know here's here's kind of what I was thinking when we talked about this. Customers or customers in general are struggling with the Cadence are Microsoft already went down so I can only do it twice a year so one time it was more than that, organ of two releases a year first one was about four months apart yeah yeah and, they tried to make it stable and then now their struggles with their October release around the quality what if they just press pause, and just fix stuff that wasn't working or made it better end when you think about it what new feature of Windows 10 matters to your customers. Set the consumers will my customers der all about. Creating more efficiencies right if so if they have less service desk calls less things break but they would like that easier to deploy and you can say easier to the play could be a feature. Are so will pick it the one picking last feature in windows ten that you really got excited about. [31:55] Was there one was hoping that I can finally get around and text messaging from my phone and my laptop okay but it doesn't seem to work yet in Canada. So then I'm okay with that cuz I have doesn't other ways to do it if I need you so most of the week you found today yeah it's been there forever so most people don't and it wasn't even windows and most people don't even notice new features so, I say your press pause are commode. Press possible i feed is a higher contracts easier to read the people dies but that's beside the point okay go lets go with windows as a service pack well. There's always the percentage of improvements to security perform since touch the driver in the cumulative updates or are in the semi annual releases. Make that a higher percentage for making the new features a lower percentage. How to speak baby every now and then you take a breather it's like every other could be every other was like Farmers that let their fields go follow just good for the Earth but they're going to need some feature sometimes like they bring out a new this and it needs to be out of this a feature, to support OEM server Denver. But maybe every now and then just press pause and you know what guys we're just fixing all this stuff. [33:21] We have to whisper because it's Alexis was born okay so yeah because it is because, sensor crazy so they could do it just the percentage thing or they could just to every other. You know in the fall they do features in the spring they do performance security and so from a consumer point if you I don't think it would really matter you would just update and it wouldn't really matter what about primacor 4.01 what they'd apply. So here's the thing Microsoft broken up their Windows 10 team into the, guys are building the future and the future and the team that's patching and fixing and I think these all need to get together, the best of helpers the ones building the new features and an increase volume is insulted alot of people yes but it. Oh that's why is whispering so i hope none of them wants to get to stab you what that be said. Let's get them all together what kind like what microsoft said you know what work were security first everybody just took that on that's consist of a bug bash party and get everybody on board you know it might be that they've other than the features for while. [34:51] If they told us this when windows ten first came up there's where whole bunch of user interface stuff things really have missing but now they've gotten so mature in that. Lotus Notes noticing what, catch up with everyone now it's not like someone else is gonna if they don't innovates somebody else is going to. Allows case on Windows phone for sure right they lost they lost. They're not really there way have feature wise and when they lose its because chrome os is user to administer. User whatever so if people are good by max because my max anyways ince, because a feature Windows 10 data that's not there no no it wouldn't say that you're wrong, they like the mac they wanna go to mac right so good then it's the hotel that if there was a feature with. What would feature really get you excited Windows 10. [36:10] Longer battery life faster gesture interface yeah but not every knows that. [36:17] There's nothing else I can do this this is all these silly things that people don't even use like was last time you did 3D paint. Set the. [36:33] Right so this is the stuff that you use like all the time you want to work customer struggle with things like hello and Biometrics and stuff like that they're there, struggling to get that implemented so what are they relying on an older version of Windows 10 and I never really, sometimes I noticed the occasional feature about being able to cast to display or something like that but so did they replace the built-in password manager with a real password manager, i use last pass regulators across the laces but no microsoft toasted that for me like the kind that do for your yeah they kinda do with your m sa with your microsoft account but the bill to windows ten built in password manager just is not I see you the password manager on the underneath the keyboard I see that also notes at the most people right so, do they orthopet OneNote whatever. Yeah and then regret it exactly what is Microsoft stopped adding feature to just fix things for a while I think that would be cool not sexy but cool. [37:51] Teachers are really sexy so some dollar. Number of sexy holmes was now was letting me sesame walking a hole in the wind but it wasn't a feature. What kind of Windows 10 supported hololens. I think we are good we are good so the show is over. Los amigos keep stick on the ice thanks for his here are some lazy support and interact with michelle like to show on facebook at surface. [38:29] Follow the show on twitter at surface minutes email dish of. [38:35] Check out the show notes and leave a comment on www. [38:42] Help others find out about the show by leaving a review on it. [38:46] Music. [38:55] Welcome to the rest of the week my fingerprints you was gonna be with the week but they still haven't delivered it really really from the surprise is canada post what they have one government institution working with the government institution why would I not expect it to be working official today get to regular mail there on time and they're in the right house or no but now there's two addresses are pretty similar anytime that there's any time they're doing an Amazon delivery date a celebrity has arrived yet so, how can you mark something delivered every having delivered it yet, boston market with or their little ppts social android devices and it has a gps and it's gonna record where it delivered it is in my amazon package tracking showed delivered and it doesn't show up for a day, well then that they're supposed to not do that. Bracket shouldn't do that okay okay I finally got your pasted into the show notes what I think this is a profile type picture for you it's a good one alright so, best part of this show the after party yeah is we drink whiskey now the fact that we switch to a new book gives us the opportunity to do some repeats. Okay this is something we had before but it's one of my favorites it is truly truly spectacular whiskey I don't think we've ever had a problem with. No because we don't repeat stuff we don't like. [40:21] And the one time repeat something that we weren't so sure about it takes a better second time that you sometimes could be a particular person rules yeah and this is clearly got a rule that you have of know about archer tv alright so. David it's the 12th or the 18th the 18th and 18th in the new book okay 12 Macallan 18. Matured select Sherry Oak casks from Juarez Spain. [40:52] Haha what do you fuck it is a very well area where it's color. [41:01] And it doesn't need water anybody gets dissed it's. Candy for me so I like it so what we can talk about we're going to talk about bringing back windows phone and I didn't write the article but it was just interesting, okay with the, the antitrust ruling against Google in the EU and all the fractured stuff around Android and people are now saying that no one's even here lots of people saying it's nothing like phones that excites them anymore, and also the Microsoft is sexy again they're almost a trillion-dollar true when you drop a phone, poet called they look at their services it's not broken are very excited about new phones sure but there's not sure of that now yeah exactly exactly so what years by the way here's. [42:03] Who were the mike. David beast but here's the thing. So maybe sister yep people are just going to want it because it's different. This packet switching off of iOS just because it's different so Microsoft, but we're different, but their profile also the company they're so is betamax it's different bombers gone so I just cleaned house a bit Microsoft her dog has been on a tear of their eating Android there you can Google Cloud business they're eating Amazon's Cloud business they're actually. Not an ulcer and they're they're actually leaders in a few questions so maybe they could do a limited release sir, either they would bring out some sort of you know for insiders only soda speakerphone. They should do they open source the bootloader. [43:16] Which bootloader the Windows 10 bootloader is an open-source okay suck it up okay. Cute weeks there and you can do a Homebrew cuz a Homebrew phone or just want to do is add the telephony pieces back into Windows 10 code they know we know to have them somewhere. Haven't left that's or something so I think they should open source. [43:40] But that's what I mean by insiders is that no no no no no no, so homework so he buy yourself an Android phone you use the window part XYZ they don't support Samsung but they support whatever you whatever, and you homebrew your ira android phone to use windows ten ml and becomes like sent us community supported, or like member xp mc or things like that number of use hack their x boxes to right next bmc yeah i did that, will it be. So what would Microsoft came from that. Point five years there's a one billion devices up closer my student id floral. But it keeps it cost nothing open source cuddling kind of. And unless the only unless they really want to do something with it may have a plan for it because I thought maybe open-sourcing that would open up a lot of their code. But lot of stuff that need in there. [45:00] But just maybe the telephony pieces people of the on the sort of thing with sheryl people shamed ec windows ten and other devices. And they shamed other things out of the Artis and things like that it looks like 5 or something like that somebody did. That was on the phone or something they did they can help with that they could make it so that some modules precompiled but you then could start a string it together and, esther shim windows ten on the new at the top left any pieces to make a phone yeah sure. If you think about the arm code but the arm code may require so it won't work, old Android phones, great for 2850 now there's different 850s though right some don't include x86 ability. [45:59] Hung up yeah but i think he a couple years america will have. And not all phones have any 50 in them, very few phone seven eight fifteen eight fifty is not really designed for phones is that most of the forty five ft same thing yeah the forty five is more phone base chipped the eight fifty was designed specifically for tablet and. [46:28] Are the visit Burien specifically for tablets anyways we're running x86 outside BND. [46:36] I think I'll pass but you'll do a Kickstarter on this no no it's totally a home brew beer kit. [46:45] Okay so I had to new internet put in my house today, no fiber you got the got the gigabit and. $300 in the next three months if I don't cancel. [47:09] What they pay you 300 cancel what do you mean they skipped credits. Okay so in outside that's fine it's whatever it's faster and it's lower latency I think so you know I don't have really any chances that's it yet but I'm sure it'll be fine it's less expensive than I was paying before cable. Faster but no big deal but I was decided that since it was less expensive I give them money and get some sports channels cuz I have a little sports fan at home right so they have this in a box that goes behind your TV. Don't have to put a wire between your tv and your and your access point they do this by giving you wife i'd, are these wife i access point so laughs what's so odd the on the access point in the basement there's one that cable comes out and goes into this to transmit up to the phone and then to the TV and then one in the TV that goes to the ethernet cable on the back. [48:09] And it's like you think they would buy their devices with built-in Wi-Fi instead having to buy the all these external devices. [48:17] It works so what are you paying for months now. Just for that just for the internet 7373 says 9:40 but I haven't got 9:40 yet what are you getting. Like 700 still more time Kenny Biggs and then they put it onto a whatever Channel or whatever they would call it. And he says laws of three people. But they just literally bury the cable and my and my neighborhood so i also ask them what are they gonna do with your old phone lines, hey cuz you think that will be a lot of work to maintain those when they put some new they try to push people over, it really that much to see if your with some of my tech savvy your these third of resellers they leave them for tactical reasons or maybe not protect the reasons on the copper. Eventually just going to get rid of one of these a minute seems like a lot of effort to maintain the old system. [49:22] On the making money thing sold it i guess i guess because it much most people bothered switch. And member it now this is it totally to built in throttle for their back will not work, cuz if everybody was on gigabit their back Burns their back bones than saturated sister the built-in filter for the backbone and then people who each of a gig, or do you have to get your ass off again today, set up, taking plugged into right its Upstream right. It's fast once you get to the backbone at things will slow down. Yeah so it's just a little office in my neighborhood and the Beast labs and then, but anyhow it's interesting that these list of the Surfside DSL access manager. They end up with 1:35 different devices they put in my house. [50:41] A lot of a lot of Hardware okay. [50:48] Teacher i never thought it have a peavey are waiting on pier cuz they include that that's your channel's because i got channel that's your cable so i can get a sports. You stream sports well i suppose i suppose but he can't expose you can do them some of the for twenty dollars a month. To get all this for my biggest and you can record that I'm happy to pay for it I just wish it were more convenient. [51:14] Suppose i get some sort of online service now they have a pal account i could probably just rim of many were now cant so i don't really need any of this she's come to my fire got the stick will not even that, what does what are using for display for your dumb TV a dumb TV okay that's, they put in three boxes. So there's a few want sports sports sports is the only thing I watch I watch live. [51:53] Super Bowl commercials I don't know why you would record it, but this ticket comes it's the way it is I don't really want to court a baby I want to pause it maybe want to start a little later when I get home and fast forward it through it or whatever but those are incredibly minor I want to watch sports live. Yeah I like the way we watch the hockey game last week better beer, fluid and mrs casey like at the rings got the arena that's just all old school techno stupid three extra boxes of my house and if they just give me an account that hurt that work to their app which they probably did yet then why would i, I'm commercial because I have business at home so it's it's the same price or less that they give different boxes so once I get back from Australia puppy switching. I'm on freenet I like freenet good service etcetera free that doesn't let you switch what do you mean. [52:50] They'll stay on your existing copper. Now you can become a free night member for free. That's what the whole concept was but back it up i expect at some point they will allow the. Resellers to sell fiber as well but I'm not the first one to ever get fiber so I assume they're just delaying it so they. Don't have to buy a buddy of mine office next door he got income fill for 5 months ago right so. [53:33] They're just delaying as long as possible I'm sure it's for technical reasons. Okay this is again from the hundred and one are you shouldn't track milly should fired one whiskeys to tie to tie before you tried okay a quick glance around the shells it any decent specialists retail were confirm. There are quite a few different mccallum's mcallen's is that the one and not the other mcallen's okay color. [54:13] Dramatic dark mahogany Richmond. The. [54:34] There's definitely a penis taste.

We could sure, okay so we've got a lot of things to do this is to no bro to look, wasn't two weeks that's a bit of a record forest but is different some housekeeping need to do hey guys what about the word of the week, David do you want to call for the work I do alright what do you have about vote.

Okay alright so any other housekeeping we have David or we going to get, separated would actually do we know we have light you know we have we have, if it's for the week that's not housekeeping housekeeping that's a real show stuff but we don't have a bumper for it. We need make bumper okay feature the week and now the picture of the wave thinkative the feature of the week, o'clock support so you get this with the fall update so what we're calling, 18 H2 or they're calling 1809. [2:38] The Windows 10 2018 Fallout has a feature called Cloud clipboard, keep the history of items you cut and paste with the option to sync those saved items to other devices, this device is not just other windows that's right and yes snipping sketch app also makes it easier capture screenshots that annotate and it sure those as well it's rights so stupid scratches a what. It's a Widow's yes but what does it replace the old Snipping tool, is the old pocket moye luis to call it the fuck am i guess yes so we have an actual no see video on how to use the clock support an article on it that's the future week i wanted to host fifty trimming. Otherwise use email the same thing a lot more ask people questions same question, non be nice to have that somewhere in the face buffer and just use it regularly be nice basically macro keys for the gamers and things like that. [3:38] So that is the future of the week everything else want to say about that David, all right onto news story of the week so we have a lot of time we thought we'd actually organize news little bit better for you well that is Paul Allen who is the co-founder of Microsoft, so a lot of people don't know that Paul Allen was the co-founder of Microsoft actually he's the guy that. That convinced Bill Gates to drop out of school and join him at. At Microsoft was about Microsoft with a dash micro - soft use writing software for the Altair, and he stole Nicole Nicole founder but I think you left me the founder but he was the first one there employee one Kia resigned from Microsoft in 1983. [4:39] Is on the board obviously since he owned many shares i think of in the nineties yeah he, he started Microsoft. And he resigned it 83. He had play struggled with cancer, for a long time for a long time but Microsoft went public maybe 6 and he still maintained a lot of his owner, so that's how I became a billionaire and went on to do all sorts of things he created on investment firm called Vulcan. [5:09] Had a lot of funding of space space Ventures, what is the name of his company to straddle arch okay and then of course he owns the co co. Guy in Seattle Hill did he actually bought the Seahawks because they, dog is looking at moving the California tonight. So Seattle Sounders Major League Soccer and lots of things like that. So sorry to see him go we did a lot for technology did a lot for the world as well as the pacific northwest quite the philanthropist ask as well as visionary you so so have a moma sounds. [5:59] Not too long or else our editing software will do weird things to the do it but the hat's off to you Paul. [6:06] Alright David our next group of news items of all around Microsoft Windows swallow the first one. [6:19] Maybe it should start with me because I have heard there are some people still have. [6:25] Price of Microsoft believes it's solved the issue and they've released it to Insiders, to test out whether it does or doesn't have anyone to lost data during that first wave of roll out there working with them to get some data recovery done that's right so that's good news but still kind of scary that it would happen kind of slow though I mean where, i haven't seen the update take this long to get to the people who seek it, great so we got a lot of new stores around this update so other issues with the 2000, the October 2018 update is HP users are reporting a blue screen of death you have an HP I have one in the back over there were given to me by a client for specific work tasks well that won't be running Windows because I know the client yes it is not running Windows 10 I'm helping them get to Windows 10 but it's not running Windows 10 now also are you at another October update issue you want to talk about, the weather were sound issues with the october oppose that's sound with intel drivers intel as intelligence which early my cause does not have if, so you couldn't you didn't like that ad yeah yeah yeah I don't like being made fun of, will be better for okay okay so then to tell us that the sound issues or just certain intel drivers that there are some issues and you they for this to drivers so really who lisa drivers intel or microsoft. [7:54] I'm not sure so might but they are not release my understandings it until shipped bad drivers to Microsoft in Microsoft Excel. [8:02] That's nice so somebody gets a fail somebody gets a pat on the back. Knowing it's pat on the back because he should have released on that testing them, get well intel such a minor platform nobody really uses intel here different windows ten right so. Are most will run arm chips yes right. [8:21] Despite all those walls. Is running on how many day a hundred million. Device is not 700 in the latest at nine billion devices map, either time showing there was a cylinder, about to seven hundred and they recast it to seven hundred million when they stay. Yeah cuz we're in Windows phone so that, that's not exaggerating at all right get so thank you the 700 million an interesting number because you look at the, download Windows device usage I think windows, Windows 10 is what about 46% of all windows devices, and is that what it is I will take a look really quickly you talking David keep the boys and girls all the chain. Okay so it's it's what happened we don't need to get back to your numbers right and all made up and down all the time so the last I read was at 46% Windows 10. [9:46] Guess Windows 7, and as Windows 7 approaches end of life, 20/20 less than 16 months from now. Well that's a little bit more than 16 months from now, you'll see a lot of those machines and most of those I would expect a corporate as well as, will you have a lot of people that problem, really in a good position. Carrie runs better than just having the same Hardware anyways so, corporation so what of my quite corporate clients very few worker, completely converted to Windows 10 I had a meeting today very large government Department looking at close to 50,000 devices, right now I would expect less than 20% of the federal government Canada which means over. Hundred thousand devices of color lean large i wouldn't i wouldn't, Apple government it's easy to pick on the table I find with my customers about talk about what I know so I I don't think it's unreasonable to expect sometime next year to pass 800 million easily what they hit a billion or not anytime soon I don't know, yes yes so yeah it's not out of the realm of possibility just not in the time frame that Terry predicted. [11:15] Okay so that we talked about more and more is more I had a friend whose name was less in the Easter clam less is more. [11:32] Me that we got so less is more because us with, ew version coming in the spring i just finish talk about the fall update definitely he got pulled nobody has yet but that one some people do but, 1981 which is the shorthand for the Virgin coming out, 2019 and 1903 whatever you want to call it yeah we cuz they haven't officially named it yet until my tough names it, can we calling it 1981 they're allowing to uninstall, more of the Bumble apps to scrape corporate customers just don't like that stuff about her computer I feel needed or they replace with something else so things like grooving paint 3D anymore, and things like that but now, elevated Sprint 3D remove paint 3 Skype was already there tips and weather but now the list is getting longer so, little bit more control less is more, the theme for that item that's much better way to work this face back then deleting files. [12:54] Go to frisco okay how's your service go handling david it is good it is good i have a primary computer. [13:02] With cop monitors and then I have this which I just plugged into my Surface docking station so it has a couple mother's and for the. All of the things um doing. [13:14] Often documents to in were processing surfs the web it is working. Like a real computer. Yes I got a little lens cap right now so as long as it's the battery the only problem I have with it is my hands are too large and its batteries too small. Surface news from Microsoft got a new, its new from where upgrade call of that. [13:44] Thank. It's to text if the device is plugged in, if its plugged in pad and above fifty percent it allows it to deplete its battery discharge, who gets to 50% it tries to maintain it a 50% level. This isn't for everyone I don't like my battery 50% I usually I don't panic but if I'm at that situation before I charge it, but my machine hero and they say the battery will last longer they don't me they mean that life expectancy of the battery over a Year's yes versus in your daily use remember that garage project was built into a metal kiosk. That can be plugged in 24/7 all the time. Then it doesn't match the battery died that's cuz you can't put it, it doesn't run directly off the AC Mains for UPS, not all kind of but don't run directly off the of the sea mains of this not. The third. I'm like 20 cell system it's always Dawn nobody is a Surface but that's too expensive. [15:11] And Brandy situation where they have a strap down to account or something like that, so I'll leave it here I have it 94 the time it's plugged into my dock here, I don't know what I love is if I could tweet that maybe not 50% maybe 60 or 75% maybe you can read when you free the firmware update will take a lot I will definitely do that. So they're they're planning having for surface goes well as others as well but that that's good news for people have an old surface, Pro 3 like I do still works great, music daily at work okay here's something interesting. Do I take this one sure the PC market is flat but surface is the top in the top 5 computer pins which is not surprising. [16:00] Well it's else would there be well you can guess the top two number one is heavy HP, right number to open the case for Last 5 Years. [16:11] Number 3 is Apple, now little lenovo okay and i wish it would be spicy or number one for this is corporate well this is quarterly sales for eight so, this is based on Q3 which ended at the end of September okay alright so. In that time frame hp was four point five million units sold. So I'm not sure if that counts, make sure it doesn't go no were not slim talk, Microsoft Surface device is only .6 million per quarter. [17:00] What's the number 5.6 million / 4.5 yeah 3 times smaller than, they're still number five and guess what they dropped guess who they bumped from the V Spot. [17:15] Kickass amazon now hugo they'll love another make pcs google makes pieces. Crumpets and who do they drop through the truck i believe its a acer. [17:33] Bunker oasis isn't six this passengers okay. [17:42] Totally won't catch apple anytime soon and well let you know how they were catch apple. Apple would just continue to be an action which they've been doing for quite a while, so i was reading an interesting article from denver be know that would the central. [18:08] Scarf, so his article entitled Microsoft is right not to clean windows 10 Pro with Surface Pro and here's why and I'll do them, I don't always use more of a consumer guy and I'm more of an Enterprise guy and a lot of times I said I could see that for consumers but not for the people that I deal with on a regular basis, but this isn't for the people that you do with a regular basis. If you look at it if my clients would want Windows 10 Pro with their surface devices and they would get it right so here's the thing Microsoft bundle of license with no ass with its device and the biggest reason that the new copy of the Surface Pro 6 excetera, what's cheaper than the equivalent surface device at the previous launch. Is mostly due to two things 1 the Intel Graphics chips. No longer included with the i7s in. [19:17] Not bundling window Stanford Oaks about $100 extra to bundle that right and, Hillwood people with all sorts of things you get with Pro but most consumers don't need it so what's happening is consumers that were running the machine as a standalone or small business person that doesn't have an Enterprise they can't so they don't have to join, right right you don't have things like i privy you don't have things like. Enterprise data protection fetch i think you need a dinner price for anyways but what do the description. [19:56] I don't have to beverage well because bit locker for him but he, eat that and some either really versions of tanner maybe it was a that was not included in the home edition and now it is still and again i was his pro so that you can people so it people definitely need to have their device encrypted. They said nobody needs to die had a domain it home before, thank. So is that so it brings the price down and now get let's talk about it education, an enterprise most in apartment no have enterprise give it any ways and they, take the skip protocol right to Enterprise right other putting that on the same with schools really good price, there's there's different ways, is she in an enterprise clients to buy surface devices and get, pos they need if they want to but i can most enterprise idea with already have me a and we replace with on it. [21:11] That work pro in the pro not including pro yeah that's confusing people yes it was a good idea at will he claim the station in call with justin pro honest and for the skull to this tonight key before it. [21:29] Ferrite last piece of news at our surface category it's not really surface related but it is of course of our eight. So the first. [21:42] Windows on arm on a Snapdragon 850 is launched the first of the first mainstream guess who did it, Samsung of course so now there's anything you're right I did a review of one of the Samsung tablets while ago right. Was just off the have this or game keyboard like my act like i pad does and it was just nothing at all like the surface with kickstand and so i'm looking at here in his kickstand. [22:18] Well of course so if you combine that with an with battery life of a c eight fifty this might actually be an awesome dress it could be sleeping in review unit, yeah right so size is it in us. 2 and 12 inches a 12-inch version of it, could be quite the strong competitor to surface pro to come to the pen and q house with the penalty for not about okay so that's it for surface news, with who put the categories of news. [22:57] So Microsoft has joined, in cross play something over sixty thousand patents left they have in the open invention network so in the past microsoft is charged, Android and Linux vendors a licensing fee, write for things like file systems like exit in the order to be over there patents were if you want to read this file format you want to talk to Samba or whatever they charge them, and so the oan the open invention that works groupme, 2000 + companies in the world that have agreed to cross lights their platform crosslight licensure patents, for use by the Olmec system and a lot of people said yeah Microsoft you really not a supporter of open sores because you're still making money off of it right so that's well you're just playing it lip service to make Samsung pay them lots of money, MMA for people to put their software on their phones and stuff get hard negotiations so Microsoft looks like they're backing off from that, set be set. [24:14] And the last piece of news for microsoft this is the so much news, but it's really a sign of the times do you want to do I take this one you want me to take this, Microsoft released their what they call. [24:32] Roxy statement so this goes out to, before they do their urine results don't get your holders and things like that so they close their books that closed back in June, and that's part of that they have the proxy statement witches information that goes out to shareholders and, what is they showed how they compensate that's interesting is there a senior executives so total compensation sachin adela was only twenty six million water park in, like he's done so much for that yeah. Yeah they're getting a bargain. It's finally morning me last year but that's only 20%. Yes Valerie only 7.46% of that so he didn't even make a million bucks in salary wow. Cash and Cynthia will talk about that but here's the interesting part so how are they, how about for a 26667 percent is commercial crowd Revenue, and Commercial Cloud subscribers right so. [25:50] Just lives but commercial clogged right that is that is that's pretty much everything. Monthly Windows 10 device activations active device active okay. [26:05] And for temperate slept percent ten percent we just have is love percent should understand but ten percent can they just place the number little yet why, so what we're looking at here is six main categories all the other performance metrics and incentives for the senior staff at Microsoft, I rose up to that man consumer post sales monetization gross margin, LinkedIn sessions and then the last one does Bill Gates like his new surface surface, that's that's is that not I don't see Xbox there text boxes consumer postell's, oh okay so less than 11% so be less than 5% it would have been pulled up LinkedIn that's interesting. It's not this is just how they compensate this is not where their revenue comes from now but if they want to be this is where they want people spending their time right, have everything so I thought that was really interesting one of our offices here offices typically under commercial Cloud revenue and subscribers where you would think they'd be out there, cloud in Cloud I mean 66 we do we really didn't need, go be alright so that's it for Microsoft news. [27:21] Alright so now we've got some mixed news in the first one's kind of Windows related but not really okay I put it separately could left in the windows music and. Chrome seventy while from really moves quick does not getting should gets lots of, lots of versions out every year and we don't hear about it we don't hear about deleting your data or anything like that but. [27:45] Chrome 70 on windows 10 will now rusts, pwa Progressive web apps whatsappw, pwa is an application written to web standards typically using HTML5 another web standards but when it runs it doesn't look like it's in a browser. [28:07] CEO of the address bar disappears, is that full screen experience and i can have features that you would expect of apple, accessing local resources working when you're not connected yes about this before but never run Windows 10 the only way to do this in Windows 10 up until now was either through Microsoft Store app, what did you say we're talking about well with PW ways and PW is running in Chrome now. [28:52] I would anybody ever write the double up and what did you say this was, just finally on the cock so let's read a bar podcast pwa, podcast Windows universal windows podcast cannot become doesn't work, it's just another nail in the coffin I mean universal windows i mean what's the whole point of so they can run windows phone and what does the top or its okay so another piece of news that i'm not sure we talked about be held back with it is that our last last piece of other kids though okay Apple has an event coming up on October 30th. [29:41] And they called it there's more in the making. [29:45] And rumor is that it. For creatives and that they'll be a new iPad Pro and umax. [29:57] Was that supposed to be, just before Halloween Just Before Halloween excellent so when we talked about that little while ago you said you're how does Microsoft catch up to Apple. But I will keep doing what you're doing and innovate right right, Innovations overrated you have to find what other people do and then do it. Microsoft innovated quite a bit like the elevation I want other organizations picked up on that same Innovation Incorporated it all the sudden it was popular yeah. So that's it for now. [30:34] Music. [30:42] Alright babe that you actually have something that you want to talk about Rants and Raves. Bit of first world problem i have with that is so are. Phone provider put fiber down my street and wants to sell. Gigabit fiber unlimited quite a reasonable price sure what's wrong with that. If you cancel out of it they want to charge you $500 if you cancel out of it the end of before 3 years. Good luck collecting do you have any other services with them. Good luck collecting taking put me out just like it i really wish phone companies would stop doing these were tactic this like you know, maybe after a year or something but to it when they give you a phone yeah sure you have would have cancellation fee but when they're just hooking up the internet to your house and the fibers already there that running it to you, no they ran the fiber down down my street that I got my lawn dug up that which is fine but now I have a better piece of. Turf at the front so I lied I should looks a bit off now but still I don't care last year did you convert to it. [31:53] $72 for gigabit yeah it is not bad at all to very good price. Okay so it's my first prom that's your first will pro all right now we have in other statement we like cover, what is Microsoft Microsoft and Amazon house Google become the next Android overlords, for whatever why would, well first off let's talk about a couple of things old back so back in the. Can this the summer in july i believe, Google was there and they were. Told Dad to pay 5 billion dollar fine from the EU now what does that call about what were the ideas. What was this what was this. Vision against about set to do multiple things the google play store the license that yeah and in what third parties have to do in order to. [32:59] To use Android successfully right so Google has to stop, modeling applications in Android phones that's one part of it. So how are people going to get those applications for number of stars. The main applications like Gmail and Google Maps and things like that or not, normally available that way only in their store or built-in with the app and then updated to the store right and so they're also preventing companies from using other search engine, and from sellick fork versions of android. [33:38] So now they've decided they're going to comply with the ruling while the appeal. But they're also going to charge Williams $40 per device. Wait so you could have the free version with their store or you can have the non free version. Set the fuck. It's the apps weeks forty dollars for phones with the charging right. So I don't know all the details yet but you'd looks to me like at $40, Hill Auto thousand-dollar phone for your bucks it's not that big a deal you can bury the, so what's included the Google mobile services and. Other pieces like that which really are at the heart of the AI base next-gen mobile phone. [34:39] Where are you in its context sensitive and all of my, 40 box are $200 phone is quite, yes so talking talking about Emerging Markets or lower-end devices, the Samsung phone that most people buy not the current one the one that's going to whatever, S5 and who knows what has it and it works just fine so why why why we talkin about Amazon and Microsoft will because in order to do these kinds of things in order to provide a store and service millions of devices around the world and provide you next generation services you really need to have. Worldwide usar footprint. [35:45] And Google's Google's number three player that space but nobody else really has the cloud shops to really provide that kind of service both Amazon and Microsoft have already built. Christoph doesn't amy's android apps or will they have the microsoft app store but it had a little platforms before, get her for our t it had it for yo windows phone etcetera etcetera, and was Ameren they've already got that networking on Android so, order it to collect twelve prisoner got the tool set sleep the built over hundred and wraps. [36:28] To put in my name so what are our names are there any are also i am size are out looks. Okay but we can take a look at that nuts for whatever reason and. Microsoft, Amazon could possibly go to load or they can go together they could go together and there's a. Got a lot of synergy there both in seattle wa what about sam fun. Seven isn't clean the fuck no true but they have a huge number devices and they would much rather not have, so maybe we'll go messing with them so maybe they partner Samsung or LG device manufacturer will come the ideas they build a platform that have and have the device manufacturers start to move to them right. Yup that's gets just a concept it's possible it's doable what you could. These sort of nude Chris Wright Microsoft could make their own version of Android that has all the raps is that called, and they could write and they could remove. I cook email they could remove chrome and they could add hood rich crum that piece of wood that sell and they could look like windows so here's the thing can i get a couple pics of three but with this maybe i won't because i think i kind of assume that the local three, HELOC to the Play Store I thinks. [37:53] If you needed to finish my new phone and not make your decision based on what I don't need any phone be here ranting on these, this podcast I don't know if you want to do fun. Alright so I just thought about it a couple weeks ago. Anything else will talk but it no i'm good are you sure.

If you want to read a drink, it is a red color is that you're the one that's in the book. [40:59] I didn't want okay okay what number is this one. Number 46 is there an order to it, play me as long term owners. Mainly the McDonald's family sold out to the French luxury Brands marketing house Louis Vuitton, in 2004. Entices some comment yeah, like what you call those are rose a wine color. [41:45] Truth is good more complex than the aberfeldy we had last time slight yes yes definitely much stronger Taste of slight slight smokey. [41:56] 2% vs something would be obnoxious being like 20%. [42:11] And my smokey like like a good smoked meat sandwich smokey as opposed to a guy under fast smokey yes. [42:25] Marketing so color Rich warm reddish gold. Taste great balance a complexity of Rich fullness fruit notes chocolate underlined delicate sweetness taste a great. [42:54] Randomly open it I open up the page of the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban Port finish. Currently opened it to it wow wow is that something or what that is something so it's finished in Port casks which gives it that red in that sweetness. In the Heat of the 92 which is quite nice complexity The Crepe notes. [43:22] The grape Oak balance he talks about so that's the, Jim Murray's whisky Bible so going to talk to you about my phone is getting, what's wrong with it does everything I need I'm just tired I want something and what you up new battery Capri battery battery and something worse than the phone with the better the sex so yeah that's working for me. Is a 6X at Palazzo to the Crowne Plaza. Either okay with my sm someway beats a life of, but her cameras otherwise is remarkable right, am I supposed to be amazing cuz of all the software they've added so they say we don't need 5 cameras or six cameras rare Weber okay we got one but it does the job because they added a ton of, and even if they're also they're doing interesting things like assuming that you're going to shake a little bit and, and actually taking multiple angles of the safe shot and getting multiple day like the HDR types that I might have been shaking before but now I'm quite smooth, we never said vote. [44:37] If you know what i've and it's opened they will let me vote i drinking they won't let me in the police station though they won't let you into the point fish if your truck did you vote, how they want let you vote if your so we know our mayors essentially going to be s that's not me an issue i'm not in a ward where we're someone's gonna be claimed, but there's definitely am definitely not an award where there's a real race either so Jeff Lee Pool winner award. [45:06] It is this enough guy few things he says are stupid. I want to like him but he said a lot of stupid things like what he's talking about things that are actually interesting and make sense for the greater good. [45:32] Smiths Falls and Cornwall it totally would like a GO train system guess what, Snoopy the mayor of Economics he be the mayor of Ottawa. Not the mayor of Gatineau not the, i am on not there smith's fault up near cornwall or any of these other companies talking about the how does. The people that would benefit from this enough people live in city of Ottawa. I get zero benefit from that go to Smith Falls and go to the Chocolate Factory find yes but you can't buy there. [46:06] Oh okay so I know you talked about the converted the Hershey factory the Tweed Factory, sure but the real benefit is not you going to the Chocolate Factory okay I'll look at the Oompa Loompas, so no benefit the people that was a yay let's go for this, for the most part can't vote for, cuz they don't live in the city so we'd be be like talking about hey I'm going to run for, I don't know let's just be something so I got to run for school board trustee and my whole platform is I'm going to give women in Saudi Arabia expanded civil liberties best prime minister. It doesn't matter but I still can't see on the platform of amalgamating school parts. [47:07] But guess what they don't get to choose that yet. Got interesting ideas that for the greater good make sense but if, I don't see why a train makes any sense actually, yeah I'll tell it it's like Trump voting today I'm going to make the Mexican buildable build the wall, Becky has any control over that maybe doesn't know but but anyways, no politics at Citrus local politics what kind of reach do we have on the show when I was listening to India, was driven in ottawa card that we do but anyways. So that's the that's interesting there, is a speaker laptop still running, okay so anyway so that all being so go for it so get your in brand new it'll be a better camera than you currently have. I'm so with you on your trip. [48:25] You will not need to take and if you do take care of the camera you will not take them to other cat but the moments in time where those cameras are not easily available I eat pretty much all of the time. [48:38] You will have a better phone, a better camera will it take me to other devices with me taking my five-year-old DSLR. [48:55] Five time show me that you want taken out for the wildlife were going to wildlife excursions and things like that you download them they a really the really is such a small amount of time okay sure why carry it. Are kangaroo pouched. [49:12] Alright other thing I'm taking is a GoPro Hero 7 black, for underwater but also they've got this gimbal this thing that they called the smoothest that he shot ever like it won't get me shake it is stupid or is it something they can get, lost or stolen at carrot it weighs like. [49:34] A lot you're not used to it I'm here used to it I've never seen you with it. [49:41] I'm used to it I'm pretty good with a zoo you are but you just still won't pull it out that much. That we took at night to her out in the jungles in cans in Australia. The camera would be of no, that was the time we happen to take it I guess pretty good low-light but, but I'm thinking when I go to eluru and no no no no, set out at all we did is here thinks we couldn't even see thing so you can carry the camera all night long i don't know i'm looking for sunrises and sunsets on a tripod over the blue and, things aren't beautiful pictures of that already. [50:26] My family um you're gonna get your whole family up for a sunrise so you could take a picture of the. Give me a little bit with that you dreamed of beautiful colors to study the pictures could potentially be beautiful exactly. [50:49] Know that we have a few good ones you at the office yet like like spend a thousand dollars from a canon camera that's what it's gotta fit your pocket we got them we got them for a one we've got a sony. Michael Sony camera I like that black with you is more important thing people carry around cameras that are worth like. I missed my biggest worry it doesn't get used. The kids love using it, play around with that mouth ago so the fishing by youngest son he's really have a disk phone can he isn't okay phone d just windows phone yeah oh i'm sorry that we often to windows phones have good cameras. Yes but it's not at you through the phone has, iphone se which is a camera. So the kids will use it more and it does good video is very good video actually. Yes of course it does better video that Annie can't pocket phone. [52:05] I'll see once I get the iPhone 7 Hero 7 black, we'll see if anybody sees any sales on the hero 7th let me know. [52:26] Should we rush out. [52:36] We could do that if you want that's fine so we can meet somewhere near your place yeah I feel like wings. Now go to Lexington if it's not wing night there I think it's wing night I'd like to think there's three other places of Lexington is right by one of the Corner Diner used to be Corner Bar and Grill. [53:02] Churchill's is that we used to go to watch hockey games yes we've been want to so it's right down the street right near there we'll go to Lexington or whatever you prefer. Alright I will meet you there okay goodbye surface Nation. Keep your stick on the ice in your scotch on the rocks you can finish your whiskey oh I will okay that is good we will talk to you soon.

Transcript [0:07] Hello I'm Cortana welcome to the universal windows podcast the show about everything Windows such a surface Xbox phone and the windows Insider program here are your host the surface Smith. [0:22] I'm calling Smith I've Dave Smith and we have a special guest with us today David shot. Sap watch why don't we let him introduce himself. Hi guys this is Chef Joshua I am from India and I guess I'm a special guest on the show this is episode 89 for those of you that have been keeping track we haven't had an episode since sometime in July so today is September 17th that were recording the show probably be coming out by two or three days but we've had lots going on while we've been away before we before we get, too much further into it we should probably do some housekeeping guys what about the word of the week, why do we let our special guests choose a word of the week. [1:15] Fuck fuck fuck shit, to watch we got it right so we got a little bit at, housekeeping to talk about that I've been doing some traveling David for doing some traveling we will talk more about that the end of the show but since you mentioned watch, I'm guessing you might not want to talk a little bit about some of the gadgets that were announced during the Apple event last week. So happen owns the venue iphones and apple watch okay the water yeah will will do his will get into what we go right into the news and let you take that as the first segment I will get with that so I'm going to do the news intro new story of the week alright so let's take that first news item the Apple iPhone event. [2:23] So Apple announce the iPhone, 10s Russians all the people in The Colony Texas is I collected everything from Apple, yeah and when you combine it with Max it becomes excess Max which is a terrible terrible, let's get on with it was terrible names for everyone else will fail so lucky. So one of the major announcements on the 7th was the Apple Watch series for which of the Greenlight removed from the site for the celebration which is an improvement, as far as looks so concerned but the thing is they introduce ECG and their watches. Which is electrocardiogram which made me actually consider switching 2 hours just to get the watch which I have never thought about before why do you want to ECG all the time. [3:27] Elektel on further thought I don't want to listen to all the time but let's see I was in my thirties or my forties and I was thinking about my health and. We want we want to ignore our health, I guess you can do that but I have heard a lot of people out of stories about the Apple watch cashing Hartley to diseases early on, for people who might have not had an idea about the diseases because otherwise perfectly healthy, so I think it's a great achievement for apple and for the health industry overall, why do they reset technologically yet it's hard to say but I can just imagine younger people going here mom your dad buy this watch, api of this is because it i'm worried about you now mom and dad you know maybe in their seventies or eighties will remember to charge it but you know yeah apple still sell a lot of them. Okay that was my first thought actually like. My mom and dad is still a little older it's probably that I probably buy them by this for them. [4:46] I don't think so but the price will no support calls. Right by the time you're old enough that it'll matter they'll have like a 30-day battery life or something like that, what this really means apple is going beyond the communications and gadgets are really getting into the health devices field. Yeah I guess they haven't getting into Health devices filled with the CDC when they really got into the groove for smart watches and left all the other SmartWatches in the dust too so to speak because, I don't see any other compelling Smartwatch other than Apple watch Android SmartWatches are fine but, that just spoke your phone notifications I guess you guys use any smart watches. I think it looks like a nice watch which the Apple doesn't it I have a fight ionic you're right it doesn't do much. [5:49] Notifications I don't think any of the watch-like does much, things and so I'm not people really don't use a Fitbit ionic has a near field communication pay system so like Apple pay, the one thing i like about it that no other smart watch really comes close is the battery life but also it water proof and but with that regularly. [6:18] Yeah so if I was going forward or probably go for a Fitbit or something similar but if you talk about fitbit's garments for people who are. Into the health seen before Apple watch camera. One is when i people that that are doing things they don't have a heart attack the other for people that are planning to have a heart attack you and fear of market segmentation. Okay so, well here's the thing if apples really getting to the health devices it's okay it's in a bigger way the one thing that we're seeing really changing Healthcare, from a technology perspective is Big Data machine learning and AI, in the build things like crisper in the human genome project and things like that take a lot of computing power and if you start Apple starts getting Telemetry from millions of people that are wearing this who knows what they might be able to discover problem is, they don't have cloud service they don't have the backend compute to really make good use of this so this leads me to believe their partner up, only relief for options for them to partner with as far as i'm concerned one would be amazon because cloud provider in the world. [7:38] I don't know what kind of relationship Apple has it Amazon but Amazon really is not a devices company more you know they've got the Kindle, they try to phone it didn't work they tried to go the Kindle HD Fire I've got one of them but it's really not a big deal just more just Amazon consumption device, it'll come back to Amazon if I should have left them for last let's talk about Google Google I don't think apple is going to partner with Google it but it had screwed Microsoft. So who's the fourth one at IBM Facebook Facebook Facebook. Google. Ok Google and apple are going to get together on devices cuz they compete too many front potentially Microsoft because of you take a look at where Microsoft and Apple play now not a lot of overlap anymore Microsoft out of the phone business. [8:36] The switch the devices will the surface devices where they Clash a bit, us soliders and the whole ecosystem right but interesting enough so what we haven't really talked too much about anything else that was at the apple event they didn't mention any max was gonna take, are we updated on their new laptops now next month or something where they announce a lot of laptops and will update the air parenting right so, Microsoft an option I think Amazon is probably the best option very little overlap and option for was building the wrong. Which I don't think they're going to do no, owner domestic considering how the phone service Works which doesn't sync their data. And you have to lick the tag the photos again in each of the devices. To ask you to send that heater back and forth and iCloud still doesn't work perfectly iMessage, and the cloud still doesn't work so I don't think building the one is, and Azure and they're probably running their own fabric between the two so that's that'll be interesting to see where Apple goes with that. [9:53] Let's talk about some of the other devices that the word ounce there were three new iPhones. Yes the iPhone tennis tennis Max and the 10 are start with which one do you want to own. Yeah I like super Retina display that they introduced with the tennis has a low DPI than 950 and 950xl from like 3 years back. [10:30] 2 It's fine but i don't really want one such a big device for today i think it was a five point eight and six point five in screens to let's go through the but that start the bottom man the iphone acts are, 64 gig starts at 7 or $49 us what's specs. [10:51] I don't know but don't just sit there look pretty that's my job. [10:57] Got that what what are the specs on that one I think it has a eatable bionic it has all of the. Bells and whistles of the expensive to iPhones but it doesn't have the camera, Lakers has only they tell you it doesn't have a telephoto camera it has it doesn't have 3D touch, and i think that's it actually and it doesn't have the ski lift you banding it has alley me telling you i'm. [11:29] Can you on the side yeah thats not really replacement for the current iphone ten it replacement for the iphone each plus, although they still sell that right and I think the bionic is supposed to be much more efficient and they've got low power cores as well so in theory get up to 50% more battery life. But I think like because event larger on the screen this time it's like only 90 minutes more than the H+ also that's a very good battery time like if you're getting 90 minutes more than, start at 999 for 64 gigs by the way if you want to go up to. 128 year $250 into 56 and 750, probably how you doing things that have the key I think they have the 64th and the 256th and the 512, okay so the excess so tell me between the XR in the excess. [12:37] Only if i had to choose one i'd probably choose the ten are because the you ten s has excessive based on that okay but what do you get for those extra. You get a telephoto camera by the way that NR can do the book and the portrait effects without the telephoto camera so that's important fact that you're looking to just do the telephoto, just getting the tennis portrait mode with software, wanted display rather than and see okay. Slique cannabis, real videos and pictures. Look for to $50 you're not really getting much okay. Go ahead Tennessee on $400 more than the excess, and you're just getting slightly bigger battery and a slightly bigger screen that's it I will say this is hard to say, it is Edison 1500 us-45 12 gig not that anybody would buy a 512k phone but, really why music recordings all sorts of things always running out of space. [14:06] I believe I have 512 phone as well if it was available for models that I want. Yeah that's interesting I don't use that much storage on my phone then there's a thing called streaming guys you should try it, yeah but doesn't have good Netflix owns all over the place and, I like to have lots of pull apart Castle to Ally cat usually have 3 to 4 gigs of work podcast on my phone downloaded all the time welcome that argue against that through quickly like I like my music with me up at the lake and stream that. Things like that okay so that's. Anything else want to talk about the Apple event anything that was interesting anything was conspicuously absent anything else. [15:08] On my rca or everyone's the cool food for a mac even later this month or let's say next month because they have the lip and he of bead yeah that will prob be the best selling mac again, and the announcement Havasu Mohave think is coming out to Max, next week or probably this weekend I was 12th that's a major update for iOS which will make old phones and fast that's a good thing for everyone who owns an iPhone so, let's move on. David Microsoft officially has a name for the next version of Windows 10 creatively called the October 2018. Wow when can we expect to get that November but I love that got rid of the fall and Autumn and stuff it's like. [16:02] As for arbitrary based on where seattle is so. What is at the Georgian calendar or not it's so pretty much everyone follows the, what's the mohabbatan calendars all sorts of I think my got a vast majority people following that first of the seasons deeper into that is our next episode we can try to be recording more often and we get some get some details as to what's coming in that update I'm running it on one of my machines, as i talk about yes i just it took textbook forty minutes update i shouldn't of said click to start the part right so i want to move on and talk about, some of the some of the things we're seeing with the new windows on our machines there machines now coming out. Battery life is a 25-hour range running Windows it's not crazy it is crazy so the lenovo's got one a lot of what we talked about this before the folks at. Let's build the arm shifter talking about creating shapes that have the same performances and i7 but with much much better battery life, now what i'm expecting david is that you turn off was background sounds as if it's sleep if it's ad that's fault not mine it and then i also expect. [17:27] The next generation is really weird to see if we die we tried we are in Redmond we tried some of the early Windows alarm devices that were they were but they were sluggish they. Buy it and they were they will cases to be righteous and new entered so you take a lap top make it slower and, but I think I think it's going to be pretty interesting so we talked about the Apple event there's a Microsoft Event October 2nd, i have not but if it if it's a new and i would make when you're all talk more about that my rant and rave we wanted me york for that we get an invite. Okay sure I will definitely do that I have a feeling they're going to be announcing some more arm devices as Qualcomm start shipping those new arm chips. [18:19] I've been I've heard they're having a new new Surface laptop I've heard that too, it would be interesting if they could buy those to the Groomer's I'm not sure if that's just the color they did for for the. For the stealth mode machines that they didn't want people recognizing okay so that's the upcoming, microsoft event on october second stay tuned we will cuff coverage of so that yeah that's two weeks from two weeks from tomorrow so we will try to do a voice over like we have done in the past right to the track with microsoft events next week is microsoft ignite, we are not going I got North my office going either just way too much work too much going on this time of year so what we're going to be doing is looking for some correspondence of anybody, that's listening the show is going to ignite. [19:11] Please let us know and maybe you can do a remote segment for us or with us I know we've already got a couple of volunteers we'll talk more about that later. Wanna just do one show next week you're gonna be crazy go for to well and adobe with new one every day talk with enough that they'll depend on what microsoft announces i think we'll have to be fluid dynamic okay, what do you think sure let's try for 5 and go with. Will do we could still do daily daily segments of them back to the mall together, alright do you have another news item David the next one is the winner Microsoft Windows 10 s Enterprises will get I hate to setup a Linux like support. So that means they get support for Josh well I don't know it's like support me but mostly mixes with other than red hat don't really have support. Well right unless you pay for it so basically this means that enterprises will be able to run older versions of Windows 10 longer. Like. [20:24] Like they do with open to where they have what are they call them. So I've been working a lot of organizations moving to Windows 10 and they're really really struggling that's the case maybe they shouldn't be maybe they should understand it's just a minor update makes you just let it run but think they can. So We're there struggling with it this will be good news for them and 30 months okay so that means if you want to update every other year. [20:59] You could do that you could do that we should talk a little bit about it's just that Microsoft is going to be charging for Windows 7. Excited by the way they were charging for supporting XP through the pay for it so for those who aren't aware Windows 7 is coming to end of, January 20th that was what it was supposed to be and now they got his five years of paid support I believe which. Total expected sure you can if you want to pay for it they'll take care of you and I think a lot of people just don't care. And they just let it run without Sportability. I don't want to think about that too much last last piece of news that your phone app in Windows 10. Now has a Android SMS support so from your laptop you can send text messages so I've been able to do this with MightyText for like, 5 years right okay and then there's Android messaging app does it that's right but this is a joke. [22:06] Centralized hub for all of your messages so you can have it come into your Skype stream or whatever really. Ion yeah i use the browser based one with with android and it seems to work well and then it works for my non windows devices like. [22:23] My Android tablet okay so I'm not 7% but obviously you were you put it in the show that's all right. And now well David you wanted to talk a little bit more about was that a rumor you want to talk about any other no but I think it's time for you to have a bit of a rant. [22:46] Music. [22:54] Rants and Raves alright raps here we go 123. For my birthday I went to New York City they were taking my family there I think I've been there but haven't gone to the kids before we spend a few days there oddly enough I ran into some people that I know from Ottawa there right there take down the street so we have some fun you know who you are, what do Yankees gave my birthday try to Nathan's Hot Dog have White Sox. [23:24] Edgewood New York City you did a lot like to talk a lot about the city later but, did go to the Microsoft store in Prairie surface ago there was very noisy busy Place great location, and guess what it's more laughable than a both the surface. [23:47] And the whole body surface for what do you mean by regular some people might not know what that means well but then Mary Jo Foley stole it from us, it means how well it works on your lap at Lop ability is a personal thing because everyone has different left Dimensions based on how big their legs are and how, yo holla at all they are because you get a different angle on your lap based on how tall I was all the distance between the floor and your knees could have packed it totally totally, and I had lap ability issues with the Surface Book would slide off my lap or topple over my lap is slope. [24:29] I had liability issues with the Surface Pro 3 and 4, just because I didn't have enough Lop real estate to get the angle that I need to see if I can make it work but it's not Ideal Baptist for the lift my knees a little bit. David you're taller you didn't have the issues I had, surface go worked really it worked well then that's made for a smaller person cuz I found it was fine I didn't really concert that Billy but I found the keys very small, keyboard was actually better than I thought he would have took her and I skateboard but I still able to type on it so friend of the show fellow MVP Rafael from what the MVP coffee klatch in Germany, tweeted at us asking what which laptop you should take I think the surface go is the perfect device to take to ignite I don't think that was one of his choices though too bad you should go buy one that's right. [25:21] And so I still haven't got my by TSA settlement by the way are they thinking about it I was supposed to six months I got to follow up on that. What do you think surface Kobe tried 1 scene 1. Actually I don't think they have launched it in yet but I have a Microsoft store near office so late, I tried to go there today like it was closed for some reason. How to check it out once it launches in India okay so why is this a wrench. Because you didn't like the store let me tell you why I loved the flagship store, yes am I even went back there on the subway himself he had a great time there they tried some AI some VR they played some games they had an awesome time I couldn't drag them out of there he made a magnet for his locker. [26:15] It was awesome. Then on the way home we just so we drove by on the way home we drove through Syracuse and stopped at another Mall there they had a mother Microsoft store if you want to go look at a mouse. [26:31] He was kicked out of the store for being there without his parents swim team you were just next door you know I wasn't feeling well, yeah so he can't believe I walked over and they said yep no we don't want to babysit your kids all afternoon to the store by himself just yesterday and you won't let him the store yet that's our policy if he walked down the hall and went to the Apple Store instead they have, no issues welcome so I tweeted and the Microsoft store caught back to me, and the manager apologized and he sending him the mouse that he was looking at those a Razer gaming mouse not slow but feels very odd, they didn't want customers in the store yes that he wasn't doing anything, I can see just looking at stuff yeah that's supposed to same thing it was doing the day before at the store New York City. That's funny that's my rant, i too have anything else rats race you have any what about what about heard any rumors for microsoft, well you've heard rumors about the October 2nd event right right and no new device type so I really doubt they'll do an arm thing. I really wish they would do a surface laptop in arm but I don't think they will they will. [27:58] I think they should I don't know I think they should I have a feeling that the Andromeda by Celine ARM device yes but it won't be announced either. I'd do will probably do it on the guys they got them being up there windows from paying the amount of your like it. I think so later I think they'll announce it Alexa something like they will ship it later this year maybe holiday quarter or something like that, I think I put that in the show notes then we have calling. Arbor knot armored October 20th October 2nd or pervasively no. LTE says yes and David let you know arm just. Just updated the surface laptop and it's updated surface Studio. Shall we all find out. [29:05] Yes but we still at my up so how do people contact you you can you need me you get and this oh sorry. Counter. Alright so you want to sign off from India. I think so it's 4 a.m. and I think I should go to sleep anyway so say goodbye. Look at my car right everybody keep your stick on the ice. [29:50] Music.

Sticking around with other standard drink and david i brought it something that i i've got as a gift. Gifts are good for sharing this is tom and tool fourteen years old it's forty six percent and it is a space side and as you know i've never myspace i didn't like the exact so space side is just, Parlour Highlands but it's a sub-region so here is what our good friend Jim Murray says in The Whisky Bible. [31:13] This guy is shortness of breath some what the distinctiveness to The Barley & Oak arrive a little flustered and half-hearted rather than with a confidence Drive. Remains of beautiful whiskey full of Vitality displaying The Malt its most naked and vulnerable state they get the feeling that perhaps, a few too many third field or underperforming second that resulted in the intensity and hair-raising Harmony the truly great previous bottling just being slightly undercooked, that's still where the delicious dram and he rated at ninety one and he loves the sixteen it is a ninety four point five will have to get that so let's pour this david yes. It's the fashion for you some as well I could drink it for you though okay. It's very a honey color. [32:13] It's got that sweet sweet vanilla finish that I like and it just easy drinking. [32:22] I have a suggestion. So I got a book I picked up at a garage sale and it's called. What's the call David 100 whiskey to drink before you die hundred whiskey drink, 101 and they're in alphabetical order and for my birthday I thought a friend gave me the first book of the first whiskey and thereby truly by accident. And to give you the book she gave me this book another book what's this one called this one's called whiskey of Sab Rafael. So you know where to go once you're ready to go before you think should we or should we go through that book. As part of our episode three things that the substitute. [33:23] What some might be of statically impossible right well but that is flying to another city and spending a hundred dollars on a whisky. Possible automatically impulse to look for when up you'll get them all week the in order week for week after week with a jump ahead and jack is clearly clearly i've say that's okay yet so you think we should we should move through these. What do you think starting next episode we're going to start with what is it or don't tell them we already did. Kampachi troika. [34:04] What is okay to pour enough whiskey to it through some very good Indian whiskey by the way. [34:15] I've never had that never was really good looking. [34:24] And, deleted my understanding is that they bringing malt from Scotland water from the Ganges out water from the hill stations, and they make it they stored in warehouses in India I don't know whatever what part of it yet but because of the temperatures they're able to agent much much more quickly and because of the humidity, they don't lose as much weave operation. [35:02] I thought you had more when it was hotter humidity humidity. [35:09] That's okay that's happening at this part of the show. It's probably cuz David was playing with my laptop and moving things so so your idea of going through this book so there will be some. [35:27] Epic Journeys to find some of these because well like how will you. We got through our forties without having hailey ecg zr gonna die will do this quick if there it's shite for africa but is there like, of water david it really opens up okay is that this or website, that you can find which bars of which whiskey is in like that but also we order them online from LCBO but yes there are. You know I'm just thinking for some of these you might not want to be spending the $2,000. What a week. And what he cure let me make it more interesting why don't we put the list up on the website and. [36:25] Except patreon that people ship us bottles. And we can we have a Us address we can just ZIP down the mailboxes and pick them up in the states and, where do you at if that's probably what the scottish address scrub a factor okay well i like this was goody think with a little water david really opens up as the. [36:54] I've contemplated bit more okay alright. [37:06] But it's been really good to me and hopefully, order take some notes no notice just fine about to the interior. I think it's best city for those that don't know that's a bottled water in India. Have you been to Canada. [37:30] The states. I used to be like today by first 6 months till my laptop broke down so I am just using Windows on the walk laptop right now. We should try to get you going to become a Windows Insider MVP and then that could be good excuse to come to the states which is probably Canada. [37:59] Sure geographically anyway well. [38:08] Let's so let's sign off and that till next time keep your stick on the ice at your scotch on the rocks. Everyone have a fantastic night I'll talk to you soon and good morning.

Episode 088 - Code Name Delta Windows Microsoft MVP Insider Surface Phone 2018, The Surface Smiths Podcast Universal Windows Podcast http://surfacesmiths.com David and Colin Do Stuff Transcript [0:00] Hello I'm Cortana welcome to the universal windows podcast the show about everything windows such as service x box phones and the windows insider program here are your hosts the surface smith talisman, james smith welcome to episode eighty eight of the universal is podcast what the like eh or delta eighty eight. [0:25] That's a nice car that was wasn't it been awhile since we've had an episode you've been on vacation I've been on vacation we've been traveling all sorts of things we did a remote what in there it was about the surface go but the surface goes ship now lots of things to talk about for surface nation and delicious the podcast, do you want to tell people where you've been and then I'll tell him where I've been and then we'll move on to the actual show, well last week I went to the Defcon conference in Las Vegas and I learned a couple important things one is why in the world would go to Las Vegas in August, that's a really good question what about the word of the week or the week, and I think you would. [1:19] Dry death if you'd like fell down in the parking lot you would just do it just dying people do van down parking lot but it's usually at night after drinking a lot, it is hot hot plus vegas is hot when we do we hear the word with david we have a sip of our favorite beverage or something that will keep going until you can get home get your favorite beverage alright so those you playing the game where the leak is hot. Your Las Vegas heard you're also in Florida Florida and Boston and we recorded what you in Florida right and it was hot there as well true true but yes but at least there's ocean there. [1:56] Are you in Orlando where you don't know why only a little bit was mostly in Fort Pierce on the coast got you, and in boston so hot there it was hot and humid kinda like your. [2:10] Isn't can you sneeze because of a stacked like you say hot decayed and I spent some time at the cottage, and that was about it for me going to be going to New York next week hoping to go to Rattle and hum and the Microsoft store there. And not a whole lot else but we've not been in the same place all that off in order to record. We are with you that would happen in the summer hopefully and get ten in a row of rambling okay we're gonna move on with the show and some of the things that we typically have in the show so we're gonna start with a feature of the week and I only have a sound effect that day out awhile to fix that welcome to the surface feature of the week thank you David for the week, is universal windows platform file explore did you know there was a universal windows platform filed for i didn't you did not talk taillights there it's there for devices that are not pcs him fight x boxes, things like surface hubs things like those handheld devices look something like this that people ran windows on at one time. [3:29] IPads no. Windows Phone other devices on or a drama that ever shipped up the ideas that you need to file explorer Pro run as a WWE so it's been in Windows 10. For a long long time since you've been there since the Windows 8 it's not easily accessible level link on how to create a shortcut to it if you want to use it and in the newest version of Windows 10 coming out. We expect next month version 1809 they've added some features to. [4:02] The file explorer and I guess that's an anticipation of surface Hub 2 and things like that. After I drop support better right click menu support improve copy paste. You cut option and set images wallpaper directly from the app things like that true i was a sanyo bunny. [4:24] Capitol uwp right that's still not as good as regular File Explorer. Okay but in a touch only world francis how how is it, use File Explorer with pure touch. Bit rough this would be easier i expect sure or of the x box controller or something like along those lines so that's our feature of the week. Anything you'd like to add to that they've I think we have a new statement that you wanted to create since I was at a security conference I thought I talked a bit about some hacking their security so we're going to create a new section of the week or security a week or, people's idea often will do enterprise pick the weekend maybe it's security pic of the week, could do that so why don't we do that spot of Twitter poll and have people vote on option name option that would give them an option to suggest their own okay, 312 if we don't get them to vote, so let's do that but with no one we wanna talk about what they were two sessions they went to the were very interesting one was on. [5:39] This group of people that researchers decided they try to hack into a fax machine, the call was really built a time machine first don't know people hunt foxes apparently hurley yeah they do to my nose beer colfax quick to german beer i've never had to hack my fax don't know, it's a drink that after after skiing. [6:03] Okay so what is a descriptive essay reverse-engineer the firmware on HP Inkjet fax switches, I'm sure everybody has one of those in the house they decrypted the firmware which was available on hp's website before you need it. No no that would be reversed they open it up they found out they figured out it it it been, compressed use an algorithm that only once been used before any game somehow they figured that out wow then they learned about what foxes doing did you know you can sell color faxes yes. I did not but that uses a JPEG yes as opposed to black and white uses Tiff well jpegs of course if. [6:55] Worms cost three holes they can do some sort of buffer or runs and such so what they be able to do in the end is send a fax to your fax machine. Course connected to your computer internet work with the mouth form fax email form j peg and download new firmware to your fax and from there hop on to your peace. Wow they're able to change the logo not that Prince not the physical look of course but the little screen logo. Interesting isn't that so where they the first people to figure this out who knows who knows I mean listening to the people. [7:41] I'm estimating it would take a person years worth of Labor. [7:48] Unless you work at HP and already knew some of the stuff right there reverse engineer a ton of this but if as an engineer that worked on that project if you worked at HP or what is one of the few. This. [8:04] Okay or certainly if they don't know it and so HP of course when they found out about it they flew these guys up to an undisclosed location and they, parks with them so they must they pay people for these sordid zero-day fun abilities and then HP is released a whole bunch of pics of course most people don't patch the printers that much but HP printers to automatic or not mine offer patch. A patch it by sending another mouth formed j paid that patches of for you absolutely they could definitely fact of you so it's okay if you say live in apps and i have a canon doesn't really matter i don't have the stuff no but you have a devices sports a whole bunch of, standards that. That have known vulnerabilities so someone could have easily done the same easily by meaning a Year's worth of work done the same thing for Canon or for Epson. [9:06] I don't know have ever wanna meet these guys at a cocktail party and talk to them that's just where you wanna meet next during a talk talk about okay oh there's more well them there's from two more sound well that's kinda like and go with. So there was one on this guy who had done the same thing with the Samsung S3 watch which I wanted to go to because I have a Samsung S3 watch. What the guy did is he wrote saw for that runs of the watch and it basically near rated all the api call city could make an look for ones that weren't returning the right err message said he did not permission for that particular thing lot standard approach I guess and then from that he was able to figure out these ones potentially weren't secured properly and through all that he was able to do things like read your messages. So If someone sends you know often you'll get a two-factor authentication kind of thing on your phone and it would go to your watch yet because the message so, they can have access to that. [10:12] Interesting and the cool thing was he was wearing an Apple Watch actually he was wearing a square watch probably, was it a samsung washer so i thought that was interesting so the sack didn't look like it was is it as intense as the other one because he just wrote a program enumerated the cell an examination of the in of the sort of thing self up. So my thoughts on iot things for the house yeah. If you're going to give it any sort of real control like voice or a camera only by first-party devices. [10:51] Good bye light switch or in a. Can a power outlet or those are things you know whatever buy something cheap I forget about cuz they're always going to have fun or building could spy on you if you give me information about, then yes and maybe next time we should talk about hamburgers, oh yeah lots going on home matters okay that's a letter did she think with david i think this is something we could build on will definitely tweet out some questions about incorporate a segment and we wanna call it, and. I think it's probably time to move on what you think of move set new story of the week so they leave story of the month that we have an episode about a month for the lot of news to cover. Yes and no particular order. [11:42] What you want me to start us start you start it the order is the order that you put the news items that are right so windows ten enterprise remote sessions we talked about this before it looks like it's going to be a thing in eighteen o nine up so what does that mean, well in the past we've had things like terminal server recall rd ascot it's come to multiple multiple names, Citrix had something called winframe but basically it's the ability for Windows server to host multiple sessions, I simultaneously on One OS instance desktop. [12:22] It's ever been on desktop when you do it on the desktop it's called vdi cuz this is this is where people get confused while being called vdi but it's so it's it's sessions versus instances so when were talking about, remote sessions It One OS that's allowing multiple users to use it simultaneously and if it's done correctly they don't see each other they're not aware of each other but it's one instance of the OS with multiple users kind of like, nbstsa norcia mass or any of those make frame multi-user environments. What's One OS running when we're talking about the what. Colloquially called vdi or virtual desktop infrastructure what type of incense is that what that is is a whole bunch of VMS Windows 7 Windows 10 Windows XP whatever that you would. [13:15] Connect to individually but each person has their own full OS single instance multiples of multiple single instances for the multiple users so that's different Theory make changes to it change the wallpaper and sell a different but you have to manage each of those instances separately. Brighton and then different things what happened maybe your administrator it's setting up so you don't have access to wall paper c license important i don't know cuz i remember this in the eighties well and exhaust pipe system Paradis resource contention so let's talk let's talk about what I'm going to call. [13:56] Sessions we used to call terminal server so sessions versus instances so vdi versus terminal server, videos great because each person gets a full machine they can do whatever they want with it if you need them to maintain state or not whatever you could give them a local admin if you want to alright. [14:20] The upside the down side is. 361 takes a lot more resources on on one server you could typically get three times as many. Sessions running as instances so on servers how many more times, you can get more at Moore session II. Got a man he each one of those instances we chappie patched maintained etc when okay and if you wanted to put software on them but c up it and software yet to do to, Sophia 20 of them are hundred a hundred users access you potentially have to manage and maintain 100 in yes I know there's tricks to it and there's linked clones and all sorts of things but you still have to manage each of those instances okay, Dallas talk about sessions sessions you can have a hundred users or 200 users. [15:26] Connect me to one instance free at once all 200 users get it right okay you can get a lot more users on the same Hardware okay. What's the downside but I mean I just take my CPL with a with Edge going crazy well that's part of it, multiple users be there are ways to limit that they would manage that assuming that you could be besides directly what's the downside to dam site one you can't give your users local event it's obvious local admin they're going to make him specially Mike it up for everybody, that's one second is a mess is more interesting it's a server OS. [16:09] When you buy an application like I don't know let's say. What's bad example because it's a pretty resource-intensive application but shirtless with AutoCAD, it's certified for Windows 7 or certified for Windows 10 not certified for Windows Server might work but yeah so you typically have to go through a bunch of little hacks and things and tricks to trick, the application the OS to work together because they were never really designed to work together and at the core. Windows 10 Windows 7 really designs and user Wes's easier to navigate and things like that. Windows server was not is not right and so. Could the complexities that come with Windows Server because they're typically designed for you design for. [17:02] Administrators to use and gives you give up things things like you would, typically manager Powershell etcetera you don't ask me when I suppose that either so that's the downside there so why is this important will because For the First Time Ever you can have multi-session Windows 10 so those applications, that you could run. That like that have trouble running sessions on a server won't have that issue anymore but here's work it's really interesting you don't need to buy a server license and you don't have to buy server Hardware, to run this really inexpensive way to y'all get a half a dozen people working off of one piece of hardware. Either using maybe using an RDP client off their phone or tablet use their phone or the tablet instead of using their my pc and right not using it right of talking yeah but if you're going to be using sessions anyways or vi anyways this is a cheaper way to do it with, with Laura compatibility issues and one machine to patch it give the Windows 10 however 21 instance to patch and maintain. Okay so that's why that's exciting well as a pretty long use item it was it was. [18:16] Hear something exciting David what you want take this one wire PC sales growing Womack sales are crashing. I've got some ideas do you have some ideas I mean the Mac hardware has been stagnant I think that's would be, part of the reason why they're not doing too good that there is that and Microsoft some coming up with new Innovations and we we've discussed it. Limitations of things like the surface go. Take this definitely and so there's a couple things going on here right i understand that the. There's been a lot of innovation in the PC space, got the surface as an example and multiple vendors all jumping in all doing things a little bit differently and got one vendor that really hasn't updated, i were too much on the back side that looked good price very good and they kind of grow out of the crappy keyboard. [19:13] So here's the thing, what they're saying that PC Mark is going 1.4 to 2.7% depending on the ask Garth Gartner I deceive it's growing very smart very small growth but the key is it's being driven by, she was sales but by enterprise sales so, part of that Enterprise refresh cycle and Windows 10 and part of it is becoming more and more deployed throughout Enterprises remember 2020 January. Windows 7 no longer supported, so they're working with your get off of that so they're buying as part of their Windows 10 upgrade they're looking at some of the great new security features that you only get with UEFI, and things like that so they're looking at more modern PCS that have TPM and UEFI support and things like that to take advantage of celebrity features windows ten and their refreshing their fleet of pcs right in the art department still has, facts right and the whole users a lot of them so of the max, if ever had one I see a lot of Home users never using their PCS anymore they're using their tablets or using their phones they're using other devices, alright so any other news David how about Windows 10 lets you draw in your emails. [20:37] So if you happen to use the Windows 10 mail app which I do you do do you really I do why would you do that. [20:46] I don't know what I was going to say it looks there because I install Office 365 right away, but it's got new pen and ink support for many years I was just a complete and total glutton for punishment. But now it's actually it really nice nap, I wonder if I have the most recent version here I am drying on it and I'm seeing nothing happened draw how it is your job by finger there you go, okay okay yeah there we go try and canvas right there we should put that in future of the week well. Alright there you go. Well thanks for the help, okay here's a piece of news that maybe we should have saved for your security your security segment do I take that one. Which won the windows and no stops made on live next, by security fail what was 3-1 you can make Windows apps on Linux. Why cuz you can develop Universal Windows apps on any five. Okay so this is basically it's one of the tools that they give you. Has somebody release of interest well it doesn't get as much of a robust check as it does on the window side going to comes down to it so. [22:15] Will a bunch of different distributions are affected by a court in the compiling tool. [22:22] And so I don't know a lot about it but 64-bit PCS with specific versions of. [22:32] Athletics end up putting the executables with relocation table intact. Okay and there's a workaround okay so for those of you do well in a windows developers on lennox at listen the show they go. 9 reasons why the Samsung Galaxy Note is the best reason so I totally disagree with number 9, oh you want talk about that life wasn't even there did you put that there you put it there, I don't trust myself I should I shouldn't write show notes or you're not drinking it was hot number 9 at least this number 9 is Samsung Dex which is basically. Continuum for Samsung it's really cool I mean all you do is you plug in external USB C DisplayPort. [23:25] And hook up a keyboard somehow and all the sudden you're kind of having a Linux or Android type device that you can access, and you can access your Windows 10 session server you can access it's so it really it's really cool I played with it for a few minutes and then, I don't know where it's gone because that's just have no used to me alright is Samsung pay which is. Supposed to be better than Google Play, I've got Samsung pay Google pay and I've got I can pay from my bank app and I never use any of them, pay on my watch but my bank doesn't support it yet so yeah I can pay with my watch have just feedback, say something and in the after parties to things or talk about in the after party about my iphone and about a credit card scam, Xbox at the end of The Show by you'll miss out on that, yeah she speak about you I saw a. [24:36] Dell monitor 23 or 24 inch monitors 120 bucks but it's base was a Qi charger, oh that's nice and she is two standard that Apple and Samsung use right that's nice that's nice, fast charging and wireless charging find that they're doing a great job of that I have a Samsung 8 which is little bit older and it's. Beat meaning older meeting 6 months 9 lb available on wireless carriers everywhere so you can use the face the fingerprint. Pin Samsung Knox. Enter stealth of frontman enterprise perspective baker display will you can't argue with that not being a good thing. [25:22] Dual rear cameras so can do some interesting that depth-of-field things like that for what they called a bokeh effect. My wife has a iPhone 8 plus and I have. Gestational age plus and it does some really cool features but overall a really good phone not quite is the only type and the porter motor does this fantastic and then i have my same sun which does amazing at Lower Lights blowing her phone away but otherwise my Lumia 1020. Fantastic fantastic wants better than the Lumia so okay it's better okay. [26:09] Okay and the s pen that's been. [26:14] Would you get mad on the phone he had a yes. Well that was fun note series though that maybe shouldn't put that in the show, can you do me a favor don't ever alright here's something interesting. [26:36] So we talked about Apple is now the world's first privately-held trillion-dollar company. Auto market cap just means if you were to buy up all the outstanding stock in Apple, because a trillion dollars yes except whenever down but you were buying out the rest of the sheriff's will typically if you start going on a buying spree, that's all it means that's totally anime more profitable anyone else or that they have more Revenue than anyone else just means that's what they're outstanding stock is worth at current market value so I thought Amazon be the first trillion-dollar company they're not help you took a look at the others, but that slash google there the seven thirty billion dollar range i think and was on the nine hundred billion dollar a microsoft's in the room microsoft's run seven sixty five but it changes from day to day, on market conditions of people that really excited about this but you put it in terms that actually. [27:35] Make sense what hat what would happen if you invest $1,000 in apple 10 years ago, how much you have that if you have almost $10,000 which is interesting cuz I bought Apple in 2008 which is 10 years ago, does that she put me is trading options doing sc crazy leverage stuff and i was forced by apple and hundred eighty dollars a share oh darn and i sold it when it 370 Borden double what I paid for it so you could but if you about Microsoft during that time your thousand would be worth $5,000 for the first six seven years of that Microsoft stock was dipped and then was flat that's right yeah you could make, yeah baby Microsoft is might have outperformed didn't the last couple years but certainly over 10 years which is a good night to the last 3 years. [28:26] I was talking to a friend of mine when he was about investment when you're trying to invest in for a particular topic 2 particular goal retirements hard cuz you don't know how long you going to live but some Investments like buying a house or putting your kid to school or whatever you know approximately when your kid will graduate you know approximately how much money and so you can start making long-term Investments like apple that was Apple going to become a 10 trillion-dollar company over the next 10 years no but I would have said. 10 years ago they wouldn't have gone up tenfold so hey what do I know well typically companies that grow 10 full don't grow another 10 fold in the same time. It's time to find another horse that right but they did. But they were pretty small 10 years ago compared to weather now. Alright Windows 10 chrome users now get alerts in the action center so far what is the actual Center called the action centers the little piece on the bottom right-hand corner of your Windows 10 screen where you get alerts like the new updates or your Dexter I've got a dentist appointment right right things like that. [29:42] And you can add things to the alerts and so Google has added that form from users so what kind of alerts maybe update to Chrome Etc, there's not much alerting system within chrome to i mean i get them on my phone all the time he actually say yes and some website your, Tim to this message okay so since we're talking about Chrome next one is really we've been following this, arm chips the new snapdragons are out and Qualcomm is claiming that they have i7 performance. Is that we've been talking about windows ten on arm and now we're looking at. [30:22] Tell me the next few months seeing retail versions of Windows 10 and are machines that perform. Similarly to an i7 now that's something I be excited about so you're saying it can be cheaper and either or combination of. Lighter or smaller battery or run longer. Could be but I don't think she forgot but aren't the arm architecture definite lends itself to the following for takes one. Less power hungry also runs cooler which means for form factor perspective you you have more latitude. [31:09] How you build a device because it's not getting hot we've been to all these Microsoft sessions for the talking about their beautiful cooling system right so make it simpler right so you don't have to worry about cooling systems you want to worry about airflow as much so. Because it don't run it's hot over the week and so as a result it's more flexibility design, you also get much better battery life because they're lap power-hungry yes and arm ships just by their nature. Alarm devices have the, what we caught were used on our phones at Institute on they can be to do if different on until they ate they can be sipping power waiting for some event like a phone call at cetera and, then they start using power more after the phone rings you pick it up at cetera in the two criticisms I've heard mostly about the surface go are it's not large enough for my hands I heard those criticisms from me, and then the other I've heard is that the battery life isn't too long so if you took that sort of device you're not going to fix the hand Problem by going to arm but the same size same weight battery would probably do an extra. For 5 hours and here's the thing. Almost every Qualcomm chip also has an option with route to eat baked on true right so. [32:30] Intel don't really have a lot of options with LTE to separate, add that to build on the sock right yep at that separately it would want not who would not want to have lt available for a little no extra charge you can if its cheap enough then you can don't really care if it's they're not there and just use if you want exactly, so we've been tracking this but looks like they're coming who's coming the fast arms were coming for. Welcome okay alright. There was the best Saturday Night Live skit all right. [33:13] Microsoft a rev it's microsoft three sixty-five marking machine the new road map so microsoft three sixty-five brings together all whole bunch of different things we talk about the pass on the three sixty five windows ten as a service, Enterprise Mobility Suite as your ad whole bunch of different things and they're rubbing it they're really pushing this Microsoft 365 thing, I think it's going to be good for them you might be different feel like, because they got some interesting properties that Windows 10 is getting momentum of 600 million devices running it and throwing it mandatory still upgrade from Windows 7 unless you go to Linux or something else because I won't be support for it took a girl that more Office 365 is. [33:58] Will growing like crazy but that's gonna peter out because two will be on left the migrate soon but look at companies like google. On the Android devices are so successful because they Leverage The Google services that you're there you're already using other devices that makes us on a really good job of making some of their Office 365 and Dynamics and other services available cross platform, will it ios and android all in next and so on windows of course, and I'll put that all together taking of what it's a better together story with Windows 10, and you cant use your chromebook to access office three sixty-five it's just would you do with windows ten you get a more integrated experience all. [34:44] Synth definitely better office application then you would if you center chromebook will get, it's better for you maybe the web-based experience versus a local install experience or the Android app. What are they calling that or is that part of that. [35:09] They have their also basically doing a similar program with surfaces are they not so that's part of that that's part of that where you can actually. You can actually. [35:22] To buy everything from them so it's Target smb3 by your Hardware or software you think about smbus is mpc5000 seat most of them. Please office still use exchange online please SharePoint tell you some kind of Erp so Microsoft Dynamics, as part of that and we'll use PCS Microsoft mouse all those things in the world that sells the hardware the software, office productivity as well as the ear piece off where weather takes forever it's partners whether to see are ample yet but but it'll the vendor that hat that we all look at people softer oracle you look at a c p you have they don't have the hardware know they don't have the productivity Suite so they don't OK Google total productivity Suite maybe we can talk about that separately but. Microsoft really uniquely positioned in this to take advantage of this and that's why companies like Google and Amazon are trying to build office suites. So they can get into Amazon of course I do know Amazon lots of course okay. Let's move on to snippy snippy oh God where Sean alright. [36:45] The new Idol a feature so full it was sniffing to alright this is not. I think you're more would have used no no this not help with your cigar so. Basically the i new features of this this or tolls and the the favorite one at that i see there i didn't as the delay feature so you can go and how you have what pop up when nobody sees you click away from it, it disappears and you can't get a screen capture of it then you can do that with this. So I've been using another tool for years I'll call Fastenal capture and I've also be which I paid for you don't use, snag get from ss from tax and it, i do use negative place cam page a from texas more than snag and i pay the read while though as an mvp i get free version of maggot my snagit outrun the portal app I can run fast one capture off of USB key. Take it with me to client sites and work on their machines it's also very very light weight compared to snag it's not get a whole lot more. A light weight version of an app that that works well for me. Call your clients let you run your own software that sounds good man to install I have to run it if so run it halide run things PSP so that's why I'm not even from OneDrive. Yeah anyways we forgot to tell everyone day what the new tools called. [38:12] It's called Snap and sketch slip and sketch oh my God. That's such an awful name it is it sounds like it it sounds like. Okay so yeah so they're basically updating it they're doing all sorts of updates with these these little free utilities there could be a bunch of updates to Sticky Notes so they're going to stick it out cross-platform she could speak another new desktop not show up on your phone and stuff like that, excited maybe even SMS messages from your Windows desktop to your phone. [38:58] So the windows phone terminal line down that this is not me and there is no terminal application anymore for windows phone, but microsoft to set the due dates of things that they're taking away from windows phone i fine this kind of hilarious so from october thirty first the microsoft store will no longer accept do app submissions for windows eight acts earlier or i guess a point one or really really numbers again for the offer phone or windows. [39:29] Is phone windows eight windows eight one who still remembers who okay who would write hood to submit. [39:40] Does phone app to the store between now and october thirty first at lee hunter, who won MVP at Lee Hunterdon Marshall Windows 8.1 app so you know I work with a lot of mpoints and, i ran into windows eight about the same other times i run into vista. [40:04] Peter Norton baby, notice I'm not suggesting that they're getting inundated with submissions they're just working on one get it in soon and or sickly the whole intake. Machine for turning it off and but you can still update yes so if you get that little app through submission I guess you can keep updating it will have to write to the people about the Opera. The absolute until they stop supporting Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 they'll let you update but it just it just curious, alright here's something we should maybe if I put this night security Corner was an interesting name for that segment so Windows 10 all new all versions. Will get a new Intel patch for Spectre at foreshadow. [41:04] Before we are relying on the firmware vendor to take care of that. Dell v hp's de la rosa etc and now microsoft is that is offer patch in their os oh that's interesting this and that yeah. Okay okay and here's a little bit of. We need to go back to the music Back to the Future music cuz I don't have any Back to the Future music, and now from the past right. [41:43] Bunch of startups are trying to revive the palmtop. [41:48] So not them already keyboard is ghana and everyone on soft keyboard go except government workers in ottawa that still have classic blackberries there's a whole bunch of, whole bunch of companies that are trying to bring back clamshell or card keyboard, devices so there's the GDP pocket there's a Gemini there's a guy on Five. I don't know who they're getting funding from why are we not getting funding like this whenever asked why we we should. Right so that to for the crowd funded oh okay fine but anyways it's kind of blast from the past this is it is something weed weed cover that and i love stories like that so i think that's it for the news. [42:40] Music. [42:48] Alright so that's it for the news but we've got lots more to talk about where it could be a long show because a lot to catch up on and. I think we should go to heard any rumors from Microsoft will call him a couple so first off. We're not going to ignite this year. Come come September right as of now we're not going to be in Orlando. Back in early August as looking at bae. Specialist for ignite and and we saw session called surface in the LTE world so okay but there's a surface 4 with LTE. Yeah then the surface go it's gonna be available on lt, write the session disappeared so maybe there could be announcing the surface go LTE at ignite and the surface 4 is no longer the current Surface Pro 4 getting the Pro 4 it's not current right. [44:11] He got a laptop. The certainly didn't know which one to take it you got a Surface Pro. Weather, the Surface Pro without a number which is what's confusing right which is a Surface Pro in my world. What's out that's one and you want to take the other rumor David that Windows 10 is going to get it in private that's talk what would use that for calling. Now what basically it it shut it's it's going to. Ignite so where you wanna go to some hot website all you don't do that your browser without then. So being private desktop to throw a Sandbox so you can write an application download to install an application to you something disappear freeware soft and it disappears when your session ends, wow that would be awesome right okay I like that. [45:15] Okay you have to like everything I install lots of crap in my systems and sometimes it doesn't work inside so throw it out. [45:24] Yo you want to convert a jpeg to a Tiffany don't have utility download want to do it then you done with it. [45:35] So that's a another rumor any other rumors you want to spread David I don't know. Alright what is microsoft so what if microsoft's latest warrant what if apple, what if Apple was forced to abandon the lightning connector switch to USB what if the folks in the EU declare the standard because of the E-Waste the only different cables and things like I do that right they regulate bananas the curvature of banana and the shades of orange than orange can be and things like that. [46:07] Truth so what if they said you don't want all mobile phones have to have a standard connector and it's USB C so let's talk good and bad USB C vs lightning connector. Thought both of them. Be put in upside down like a stat like a micro or mini usb that can be put in sideways that's true but that the of yucca root but so here's the thing, lightning connector solid connector but the cable sometimes we're up it's easy to use. So is USBC right but what I don't like about USBC is that it's a hollow it so things can carry in your pocket your car is stuck is jammed in there, star pins I got bad. Right up your PC speaker it looks pretty small when you look inside a computer but it looked on the side of his table right here where to go, that's not it let it go ahead one little one so large as devices gets smaller that becomes your limiting factor right. What i would like a because it be nice to have less types of ice tray tables are i've noticed i have of i don't have faith three us pc devices around the house my sons chromebook my. Oh for my my Samsung S8 plus my. [47:35] Fist fuck that and use it plus my work laptop and they all use them down at all the standards just don't really work that well but a little usb c cables are cheap apples i can make much money on a cure for. Here's the thing if we really wanted to. [47:55] Which could take a while they're there for switch because so much momentum behind it so the device out there but here's the thing apple could just say screw you you. Interesting phrase in say we're talking to put a usb c connector on it where do the same thing with. [48:14] Sure make it Wireless. [48:18] Yes USB C standard things like that I would have to think that the Apple standard is. More uniform than what we get on the USB site C side of things so the quality is going to go down for Apple users. [48:39] Well you can buy third-party lightning connector and I bought a bunch of the Raider realize other AppleCare I get free ones could I buy cable wore out the connector and where it was the cable that would wear out I didn't realize that I could go to the Apple Store just get new ones but then I bought a bunch of these, out of order but yeah we kind of usb c look at seven o'clock hold of them like this okay so sad to see if that's at the. Micro to micro to lightning I bought a cable when I was down south that does USBC lightning, and USPS and you just pull the tap out do that. Not yet my doesn't Brooke but a welcome anyway. And david i know this something that you wanna talk about rants and raves so today i installed the latest windows insider build and my computer cannot pass me for my. [49:46] So luckily I haven't started in the Microsoft cloud and I just retyped it in and so on so this is not a complaint against Microsoft in that they were, almost broke my computer but I think that the inside of her it's been pretty laid-back in this stuff pretty unaggressive in pushing out new changes to the world, the fact that something failed in my computer I think that's pretty good it shows that they're pushing things on a bit so my rant is that The Insider program should be pushing things a bit harder than they've been pushing. [50:18] Is that a rant or Rave not really pretty lame. Gastric bypass Springfield MO failure failure failure I've had in like a year yeah I think mastering should have more failures. Anything else when you talk like that nope okay so why don't you just say goodbye. Goodbye everybody have a fantastic day and we'll see you in the after party yeah keep your stick on the ice.

[51:29] Welcome to the after party also known as the universal whiskey podcast cuz we can't call the podcast anymore. People caught the podcast in the so David I brought along something I forgot to bring along but I pick this up this afternoon so I picked up some nice Bourbons in the States but then I drank them, nice nice whiskey I got this is Weller original wheated bourbon Special Reserve so Weller was the first guy w l Weller was the first guy to add wheat to Bourbon. And the recipe he created also became Pappy Van Winkle no no it's the, Weller 12 year old which is actually the same as the Pappy recipe all they do is they take if it doesn't quite make the mark for Pappy. For whatever reason and they use as a twelve year old the well wishes close to pappy as you can get without being pappy i'm happy you're happy happy happy so here it is this is the weller. Wheated bourbon Special Reserve. [52:37] Sprouts not in and listen to the er ski bible right they've got for this of the about four whiskeys in this family. And don't get missed all done by Buffalo Buffalo Trace that sounds nice. Yes that's one thing can't do as well with the headset mic I think it sounded great. Alright so it's good caramel color called you first the back for the week to start the stick with flavoring back to we. [53:19] So the well the bourbon make it so that makes it sweet so does corn different sweet sweeter than regular. Vanilla slippery finish vanilla not quite as sweet as something like Maker's Mark no look at this I'm drinking with my left hand with the microphone on the left. And not hitting the microphone I am getting better at this podcasting stuff at the whiskey breaking stuff. You need a. [54:01] Music. [54:16] Definitely a bourbon you don't no smoke no no salt very smooth very sweet. Enjoyable, second sorry sir with the city of. Don't know I wouldn't recommend Diet Coke I'd say regular Coke what did you call it. [54:49] So you were gonna after party are gonna talk about your i phone so force is new battery will let the top of the three thing or talk about okay one ft i saw something at the elsa belle today the haven't seen a long long time. Macallan 12. Ontario for a long time as member they victim of their own success me at the look for men bigger Market or special Market but I guess they Rectify that situation Andrew how did you Rectify this Biden, but when i got some home oh hell it's stockpiling it okay if that's why they shortage, what I would like every time I go to the US I buy a bottle or their 5-minute Market that has it realigned their stock, 12 years old for bottling and yes so that 12 and 18 became very hard to find they went to the Sienna's and the rubies in the cold cold night you're all fine whiskeys. [55:48] So that was interesting so iPhone so two things both of you that use iPhones my iPhone in the last few months I found the battery was getting really really. Weak item that most days I couldn't get through the entire day without a charge other days I barely get to noon and I wasn't quite sure why. That was cuz your battery was were not apart leak but the battery health of Tommy is at 86% which I thought was pretty good, I look at these two things someone and I'm not sure which is which, one of the apps I'd I had or more reason location services my location services on all the time choose up your battery Outlook with one of them so maybe only updates to Outlook turn on location services perhaps when I gave my son his phone died and I turned on the the tracking app on his phone, how to make turn it on in my phone etcetera but it was turning those off me should have made a difference but I thought the Apple Store and I've known about this but I didn't know what standing is that they've got a $35 battery replacement program in ascending and it's ending in December now if you're under all potion or if you're under AppleCare the battery place this free my AppleCare ran out awhile ago but it's thirty five dollars canadian i don't know what five dollars american of as and. [57:04] For thirty five dollars plus tax will replace your battery and from the easiest replacements can do they actually did the replacing get as opposed to giving you a new faucet takes about an hour suggest you backup your phone but the thing is i battery now i have it i can use the phone all day, I charged it pick it up at 6:30 this morning when I woke up off the charger that 68% that's what that's what Veronica's getting with her phone what are you at. [57:31] 47 much better than was before I'd be down sometimes to 30% by lunchtime or that's what I got with my old at 7 I should have found it back, i got was watching tv at ten at night i'd be down well below twenty percent up and down ten five percent at least 2 years old so I'm in a phone battery shade three years old this should make these devices 6s plus I got it when it was through the 7 was before the 7 came out so I got it then January came out in September I got it in January. So that's too bad because I. Right so I can't remember when that was it was during the winter suit Winters ago but anyways. [58:22] You got till December so make you book your appointment do it if your battery health is showing anything below 90% go and get it done $35 will add life to your phone and make of the resale value higher as well. [58:38] Exactly welcome might not be lasting all day cuz other apps running. Take care of those but here's the thing 35 removed out of my old phone likes S7 I removed everything I reimaged it I whatever and it would never come back, the weather should tell there was definitely a hardware problem beautiful solution from Apple $35 because lithium ion batteries degrade over time after about 2 years they start to degrade very rapidly. Is a song is charge cycles heat cold all sorts of things what do you think of the bourbon. Canadian $40 to us $35. [59:26] Alright so couple of other things wanna talk about with you and talk about him that was all i had. [59:34] Text talk about the iPhone talk about the McAllen tahoe at Pappy. [59:46] What do you want for dinner Dave wings wings we try out the new the replacement Door Pub yes. Alright so well let's wind down cheers. [1:00:01] And we try to have a more regular schedule come september can we back in school doing things we are away next week so am away, Thursday to Tuesday to go to Yankees game of my buddy Carlos called a hardly receive an auto accident he's in New York state where you staying at the hotel I was going to stay up I'm a block away can I find a place with free breakfast we'll hang out New York to hang out in Ottawa Carlos if you're listening hey the boys going boys love Carlos. And yeah sure i know about it but i was over there on yeah okay if nothing your before outside of the airport so. Marcy there is elliot wants to go and go to pump comedies pub which is the inspiration from clarence on how i met your mother that's what, not just Matt was there this week which mat, Matt Murphy so actually I want to let him know that the clock tower has an open mic can he can make some money there. [1:01:05] Is my neighborhood so sounds good. Let's wrap it up and go from Winx all right thanks for asking that's awesome drink all right then picture of the show notes keep your stick on this case your bourbon on the rocks by everyone.

Time Colin Smith. No matter where we are we're still the surface Smith's bringing you what you need to know about Microsoft Surface at other windows 10 related news. What's that in Celsius. [0:55] Just funny that we every summer weather cell we're supposed to be in summer hiatus i've been taking some time off david to take some time off from work remotely, there's just too much interesting stuff going on in the Microsoft world to not have an episode is truly new hardware is always enters you hardware at all such announcements you microsoft releasing earnings gel all sorts of stuff for us to do in and it take care of hey guys what about the word of the week opec's Cortana thanks for reminding us David you want to go somewhere the week. I think we should go for the word of the week to feed maker maker. At Microsoft is the maker of the surface go. I'll write rhymes baker we're gonna go with maker so for those of you playing the game every time you're one of the same maker. To take a drink so for instance david if. If you told me your wife wouldn't do something I would say maker. A golf. She's not listening and she has your first marriage going calling it's still going to swap just fine David teacher of the week. [2:13] And us paris for also known as david. That's awesome yeah actually I don't know, call nearby sharing and we can you transfer files photos etc the app pass be aware of it but first you have to turn it on so if you go in the settings. You'll see that you can turn on something called nearby sharing and you could turn it on for everyone nearby or only your devices. And you can choose where files that you receive our store. Got a screenshot of that that's going to be in the show notes. But i do have a i have a have a working across my devices, it's a great way to transfer files photos were of your and add you can send the link to web page to another device but for most people just the way to share files you don't have to copy them to usb key in and transferred over. [3:28] What do you think about that. [3:33] You know the story technology has existed for a long time with things like infrared and all those early Sangster. [3:42] So I think it's a good picture but I don't think people will end up using because you know if you have somebody has something slightly different different version of Windows or a different device then they won't be. Fair enough but over time everything will happen everywhere. [4:01] Are people that matter will anyways especially if it's cross your own devices. If you do want to use it you can within add you click share within the photos app you click share or if your file explorer click on a file and right click share and it'll look she look for devices that I can share with. [4:18] That's the feature of the week and we love a try to have a feature of the week every week. [4:26] Time for. Could use all kinds of news to talk about it let's go swim promo the most important one obviously for us being the surface Smith's Microsoft, announced a brand new Surface called the surface go. So where you ten inch tablet vs standard calling her windows pro house with your answers bro have when. Flexible kickstand lower in Pentium processor. Earlier today I interviewed Kevin wheeler and that he gave us a rundown on that and I'm going to play that interview right now, okay so kevin's is here to talk to me to day about the surface go to kevin was your first impression when you heard about the surface go. [5:51] Why was kind of shocked right with all the talk of a Andromeda I was kind of shocked that they they actually want for this form factor, shocked but it was a pleasant surprise, jot notes and so when this came out i was really excited about it I was too so I kind of had a hint was coming so I don't know if you know the story last time we were together was in Redmond and Dave and I flew out David brought his surface 3 along, and for the lady gave it to me to use as the soundboard for the recording studio, so give the sound effects i use and stuff like that was a big and has good battery on it and the ts a broke. On my way leaving Seattle and so I'm still in the process of filing a claim with them at the six-month process but they make knowledge the claim and. [6:47] What you talking to our mvp track lead on the non insider side and i was looking at replacing to just wait just wait to buy a surface streets i knew that was coming. Multiple models what are we looking at is a 10 inch display. I thought it was much higher than that I don't know why. I'm look go from a by i thought it was slick eighteen twenty four. It's it's eighteen hundred by twelve hundred yet you think you tube will surface device would have you not high resolution but one of the nice things i like about it is the aspect ratio they you know they been sticking to that three by two right. These new devices so really really good for it. Okay so actually that's a Surface Pro that I was looking at the not those look at the wrong specs there. So what else is interested it's gonna four gig in an eight gig. [8:13] The 4 Gig seems to be paired with the 64 GB of storage which is emmc, however you know this form factor with that with the fast storage, you know for gigs of ram maybe some fishing and a lot of use cases well if it just taking note you not running autocad or anything i did a lot of multi tasking or they'll on my original surface pro, southern sleeping about this device is is the process to chores they went way for a penny am write previous model the surface 3. [9:43] The forty four fifteen why and when you re take a hard look at the specs in the benchmarks this is actually, or in three process. [9:53] Interesting so yeah is this a generally available chippers is a special special man fab pf just for microsoft. [10:06] Is not any other devices so just gonna be in a surface pro has so it's it's it's korean own specs, been is half the cast in a little bit lower frequency, because coil processors were really good what kind of performance battery cancer. S and so this you know the better performance and the price point right this is half the price of korean process. [10:47] Mariah so interesting value proposition there I've already asked Microsoft to send me a demo unit haven't heard back yet they're trying to get me to wait until August 2nd when these devices are released so. Put on three different hats. As you know in your in your work life if this was a machine that you want were gonna buy for work which model would you buy and what would be the use case for it. So I would probably go with the 8 gigs of ram hunting and 28 GB hard drive or SSD and abuse case would be for manufacturing and field use. These devices. You know they don't have fans there's no ventilation so they're great in those environments where there's dust and things like that cuz they're completely sealed I've seen use cases where users want to buy mobile, they want to be able to move around manufacturing floors and be able to connect to their virtual desktops and still be productive while on the go. Great for scanning or or you know contacting in in getting information from machinery and things like that. [12:08] Okay now put on your consumer hat or go up. [12:23] Even though that the Costco model is tempting I still think I would want the I want the 8 gig RAM for myself that hundred 28 GB SSD is fine for me my use case day i mean i would use a like a black and no pat, I see that use case it as a journal I'm looking at it as a stopgap to something else that may be coming down the road. [13:08] How another that's interesting you bring that ruggedized up Microsoft said that, devices air manufactures already building rugged as cases and screen protectors for the surface fell nice yeah i see some of those in the garage at their three d printing for other devices and that's be so what about the lt, i think i'm gonna hold out for the lt version is the same snap dragon axe six bobbing is that x sixteen lt modem that's in the surface pro, i mean the surface pro l t e it and just like the surface pro is still dual antenna moto so shes expects a really good performance with there okay what about a student, which model will try to find a use case for that for Geek machine is there one. [14:01] I think this I think that's where the student comes into play the student and probably help care could come into play here right most of the time a student or storage but i think that fit the student well healthcare, ten to use bd ir remote so a lot of processing power that they are doing is in the back and so happy bat model fit help years well okay so here's a question for you base devices yeah windows on arm, clearly for at least Pentium devices, now the surface go vs let's say you you saw that the ace is in the h p r n devices that we can run, write me later but you can run for windows ten arm and run x eighty six apps. [15:20] That's perfect so i was reading i get the model number on but that's have a look. Qualcomm has announced a new generation of arm chips that they believe will compete performance-wise against low end. [16:00] I7 860 s and. Gonna have a lot more performance better battery life etc just like all the snap breaking, An Arm based device and if it has a surface logo on it that would make it even more tempting. [16:31] Yeah I could see maybe that's why some of some Hardware some interesting Hardware may have gotten, that can compete in at add where there's really no compromise and performance to innovate and or do something you know right cell, surface just doesn't do they always on that will i come up pretty quick but it's not the same as an arm device what are we giving up on battery power. [17:46] Yeah there's a compromise their own battery and do we have any form factor compromises because of heat. [18:09] There's no vents I love that's what I loved about the old surface 3 is the rounded edges. And it like I said there's no vent so. Dustin things like that is gonna be great in those types of environments. Is this what does this use the standard surface charger what at connector called. Also has a usb type c connector right what you can do video, Jada and charger that was what I was hoping for. [18:45] Service connected and the usb c is fast charging right you can go from zero to a hundred percent in less than two hours that's what i been waiting for all my devices do everything i need to do so they don't have that i would love the instant on i could live without the insane on if i can get all of that one device that would be. For me a big change in how i can work and the use cases and that will replace a lot of. Not just Microsoft if you look at what HP is doing there's reports that Dale has a device, you running on arm so i think you're gonna see a lot more manufactures getting on the arm, and you think the grieving streaming think that the start knishes like manufacturing or healthcare or specific use cases. [19:59] I think because of the other manufacturers like Dell and HP I think they'll go mainstream. I think I think that I think there's a void out there there's a gap in the end what you can do with small, devices at i think the i pad is out there to many but i think that the still of gap bet it leaves when it comes to Performance or productivity that even consumers look for the iPad iPad. [20:32] Yeah and in this device the way they position at it was all about coming in at the lower end Healthcare you know. Don't book the beer do aware of what's going on with in the world of chrome in education and things like that and so i, yeah he knows that he's got to use it so he wants to bring his own laptop to school for next. No You know I see a lot of people Millennials now and they haven't use Microsoft Office in the decade or ever they live on Google Docs they live on. We had a we had a a young dude. [21:49] Who kept losing work because they didn't know they had hit the save button in Word. Well yeah but we need to save it and save it, to be honest i've never use google docs so i don't know the i don't know that the benefits are or you know the pro's and con's forensics never used ninety percent of the time the features you use in word or Excel there there. And they work almost the same way you don't have a lot of that, you ready i'm them all your writing a letter you're right maybe the three page paper that does everything work wise. [22:37] Get some more complex stuff after that. Well we can't leave out the sensors write me i'll write this thing is coming with water for one of the ss reason in multiple colors you got cobalt blue you got to the burg any and of course to the keyboard has that opera tenor that as a whole nother level of a quality to the device the whole cameras that building yes know that if you check in the army for four device that size for them to to get the hell okay amber in that is huge authentication is so fast and smooth so, looking forward to that i got new glasses and mike mike that confused now will get, will talk to him later today to go to Costco and buy one of those deals on August 2nd cuz you can always return it. [24:03] But I just disagree okay that's fine disagreement and controversies always fun so tell us what you disagree with. [24:13] So I like the form factor with 10-inch tablet I have a sore. I have to had two of them okay you borrowed and broke one of them. You didn't break it and my friend has the other one I don't know if he's broken it okay. Find that marcus so beautifully served by android tablets that i just don't see the point. Talk a bit more about that nap for able to hold on to things on on. On prime day after the first half of prime day got to save a lot of money because the servers were down so that was nice good but. The tablet Market freaking people are buying pallets and ugly enough, even i pets people are buying up but the surface markets growing and will talk a bit more about that so i bake to differ and i think, can't run the same software the issue really comes down to running software. A lot of if how many people do you know that use tablets dated day in enterprise. [25:38] Tons tons airlines i was just out. Restaurant I said Enterprise, it's i think this is the market and van provide air every every cash register, the stasis at certainly small businesses but they're definitely all tablets the the thing i see with my ears of this is. Before Microsoft announced this there were a bunch of Windows 10 tablets up there 10-inch tablets that didn't sell well. That's traveling brought out another one and this one has kickstand but probably other one says don't. [26:55] What they did but in the arm shut which would make it a lease last longer. They didn't make it run some fancy to our position that doesn't exist it doesn't fold did you like your shirt. You're gonna by with on august second know of any you to buy when i second that he had the interview theft. All true true i'm with the lt and i'm waiting for my settlement from the tee sa will you be to buy with my money while you can return and get your money back. [27:46] Is he okay let's move on with the other is talk about being states been space right why is it so we've got, these things are called the what are they called there the a court tax a seventy six and they're targeting them at the. Devices be on phone. And they're gonna have all the wonderful arm goodness like instant on low-power good bat so good battery light coming out of it a low heat up and i think kevin was on to something that that might be what. Microsoft is waiting for for Andromeda. [28:50] No but the but the news is that there's some powerful arm ships coming. And i think that whole segment of the market is. Be in fucking interestingly served. So why bother to increase the go is released ago i ira i totally agree that there's potential right now. [29:26] Because are going for price points it's back to school is a timing issue i think they had at that replace the surface three, pair to those other low and tablet lol what columbus ten tablet for our t based on things like that or the dells your news we're adam based they were they didn't have the they didn't have first power that you're gonna get out of this they didn't have the store that didn't have the memory so i think you're getting a lot of hardware for the. Good price point where, release the sales at the stuff we should we would need to make a bet on this and how many will sell within a year but they don't, well hold on a second this is a perfect time for us to move on to our next piece of news from Microsoft your and is June 30th right so let's talk about Microsoft earnings date released earnings this week. Add for the fur. Across the hundred billion in annual sales actually 110 billion. Most highly capitalized companies the stock Sonterra let's talk about where some of those earning there. [30:47] Alright and I think that might answer part of your question so commercial Prime. That was their biggest piece and when you that that's been growing more than double digits in some cases triple digits in some years in the last little while some quarters commercial Dynamics bring okay, aka the future right result well the present and the future right it's still it's father bishop president a future yes right that's all idle i can talk but every every division that got that got. [31:20] The billion dollar businesses so anybody be jealous of that but still that really jumped out at me surface four point six billion. And when I visit the clients doubt they'll have surfaces. It's actually really picking up it's definitely not up for Trent so 4.6 billion. The surface Market is growing I think just having a device at surface logo it's not like it's not like people lining up out front of Apple stores for devices I think that us a surface at a lower price point could have some appeal to students. Is that a typo no wow 27 billion for them but still. [32:21] Well that's only once they find five times. [32:26] So did that's quite interesting there i'm not sure how that revenue work but just just a few highlights i think microsoft. For a few years made a series of bad decisions and the starting to make some good decisions and Shane them together for some decent success. Alright more news that we've been tracking this since for the Terry Myerson he said that Windows 10 would run a billion devices. Everybody put a time frame on it. [32:59] I think it was less either way two things 1 Terry Myerson Microsoft anymore recently. [33:09] They're not a billion devices so as of June active devices are just over 700 million and. [33:24] Batsa Windows 7 to 53.4% Windows 10 39.4% Windows 7. [33:33] And you're a year ago more than half a windows seven so jumped from thirty eight point six percent last year to fifty three point four percent this year. Here's the interesting ps here's a chrysalis still five point nine percent of people running windows eight acts for that is weird. They're getting close after 3 or so. Interesting. [34:33] Alright you thousand three servers a leather jacket yes course. And with the news here is an interesting. Tidbit so Walmart in Microsoft Forge an alliance for retail and Cloud. So two things here microsoft is working with walmart is part of their digital transformation doctor moving a lot of work closed asher as well. Better Walmart if I'm not mistaken is the world's largest retailer or is that was on the retailer I don't know how you measure that. [35:17] Or soften walmart together looking at them making some headway against amazon's. Looks like Unstoppable growth and dominance of the retail space. Wow interesting Kroger. [35:49] Uus grocery store I think anyway so that's something interesting and worth watching. [35:59] These companies have to do something different or they won't exist in 20 years. Yeah could i can get to the digital camera look at it now yeah the book but let me get sears sears has. Yes. Okay they could have been Amazon and they just weather fight it but they didn't all right so I think that's it for the news David. [36:44] Music. [36:53] All righty so that was a lot of abuse covered very. May your whirlwind basically. [37:07] Yes i have court turner actually mary jo fully is been talk, about this quite a bit talking about some improvements in Notepad. So Redstone 5 versions of Notepad. Does find rhapsody start the middle of your note pad is called document no pet six million file five hundred eleven search. Better support for large files in my number in other when right up to the door of market. Well the the way it handles line number in Yap and Munch. What are the four yeah so i not sure the line um improvements are but there's line number improvements and lots of new navigation options so is your to use that you have any rivers you wanted share with estimate. [38:23] Information about what it's become available okay so by the settings of chemical read that makes camera. Right so they're well known for the cameras that Guardians of the Galaxy was filled with. Hi due to the company that knows cameras and. [39:00] USBC Etc there's all sorts of. Is all sorts of Speck's here but the key is that it's going to be using some of their camera, so it might be yeah those guys that wanted the. Windows McLaren. It's supposed to be well over $1,200, no line yes another word for three take a look around and behind pictures i don't know. [39:38] At six in a few years ago but he was just brought the camper but now. Would never hit the mass Market with that just a camera people wanted it built into the phone so we can do it all with social Run apps and stuff on it so interesting that they would do that. Sunny and gorgeous outside right now. The Microsoft they put their name on a nice tablet. Small for businesses but. [40:40] But everytime they brought out a device that they've done well with. It has been significantly different how was how was the surface laptop different except for the surface laptop how was the surface, it is quite a bit a hundred percent of different 10% different. A nice Dell laptop that would be exactly the same except for the. Did they just won't bother. [41:49] Okay and so you you want you to where the rant is due. And I need to do it soon I education Market I think Kevin had it nailed there I'm going to disagree with you on that day. What was the only year or lessee alright anything else you wanna cover. [42:23] I think that's good alright well then let's light off okay. [42:31] Everyone have a nice sunny hot summer day keep your stinky ass while you're on the on the beach keep your stick on the ice.

[43:40] Oh a lot so here's the word makers cuz I'm trying to make her 46 and make that we didn't say make or at all in that episode, you got to Maker's Mark which 146 Maker's 46, you gotta get the box cuz yeah well they only sold the business so i'm not up god got a calling fine oak fifteen year old. Fullest interesting person the back of the bottle it says it, what they say even the sky. Will them and i'm afraid is a pot. Possibly remember the guy we met for the work for makers. [45:03] Cool so let's see what they are good friend jim murray has to say about this. Is i think makers mark i find it sweet no more, yeah yes so makers forty six crush toasted hazelnuts. It's her up and initially thick. Excellent weight as those honeycomb notes go into overdrive. Adopting a weedy and Oakey spices. Which cranks up the points surprisingly light and. [46:26] This guy is all about the nose and especially the delivery so so much controls honey on the on the snow on the show sorry. Kathy cannot be anything other than a showstopper frankly magnificent I think I've met my makers. Hey Google I do like that that's a good so good whiskey I'm going to go with my McAllen okay. Could talk about do we need have a moment of silence oh yes well and it should go this moment of remembrance cuz lancaster when wanted that air fuck is be telling people why. So i was there about having pas there replay back area there's a big kentucky bourbons go still. [47:18] So where was this Warehouse. Yeah parts in kentucky okay in a warehouse is he interesting that's it just look like a big industrial building with of c one made out of wood was anyone her and. [47:53] Injuries doesn't say but that's but there are no in yours off. Concerns of the home of the sea into the ground whatever your alley that has the can back the over the frat boys they'll showed up so i send. What's the going to be on site to collect mothers saying all stop course they history of bourbon. Add Water rub it down. [48:43] Alright. [48:58] 92 is the year the Kentucky join the Union. I mean. [49:35] A1 [49:44] Yeah I would rather go with a few smaller buildings. [50:15] This is interesting to see justin of a belly and and we hop in the past about how. This is the age quicker than a whisky because or scotch whisky because the temperature of the the aging process bought this building it wont get hot inside. Same whiskey but which floor and which side of the building it was on because it would either you warmer or hotter, you made less humid if you'd north side of her third floor preferences and they actually would do that. [50:57] Rans like what like buffalo trace. Yeah those two confused but one of them that she has not grown Distillery they have something to make it and they they say we want a specific side of the building a specific floor for The Ragin. Some consistency year-to-year yeah. [51:24] And when the guy emailed you back about the Maker's 46. It's not a 10 year old bourbon almost Bourbons don't have an HD. I think there's a rule that has to be at least 3 weeks old. I thought that was the Whiskey and in the state. [51:59] So what you build distilling and drinking it as fast as it runs for. Yeah I'm around all of August except for the last weekend I'm going to New York for a few days take me to go visit his son Yankees game take the kids. [52:23] Disappeared.

Not going to call me and has batteries in that sense it is but this is maybe fifty percent bigger well rough usb actually. This is about twice as big maybe problem. [54:25] We could go to a restaurant that there's that would cook it for us but I'll grab it I got over a hundred pounds of fish. Yes to the captain fellated all for us and cut it and we go to restaurant the car just $12 ahead we got unlimited soft drinks, for the kids and adults but I think we got.

Here are your hosts the surface min i'm call incitement i'm david smith and we are the surface miss welcomed episode eighty six x eighty six, x eighty six its is that we have a name for the show we didn't do it okay so that's that pen shows in ten weeks david. Yeah yeah or is like you could say that's ten in a row ten and that's really eighty six in a row. Show her and we had a few other weird ones in their church are we lost track of count okay so it be eighty six h yeah so back in the studio for this episode recording with most of the gear we use recording with, i'm like last week's fine and why recording. In a slightly different venue with a few slightly different challenges than we're used to but where were we have challenges all the time but, they tend to change their many by think it if you're gonna be on the road alot it carry a lot more cables with you lose that doesn't produce is the zoom. What was revenue is that with a lot of money monsoons pump doesn't cost almost as much as this, can't hear that this is a cool read it is so we lot of fun with the pc users group but the canada aviation space museum recording that episode so yeah shut out of them thank you guys very much and the cake was, the cake was awesome the surface mints cable surface meant the furnace. Surface with cake i have to set fires i know that the first yeah yeah so that was quite it and then they give us with get in that it was delicious and his we finished it off it on the weekends gonna say i thought a little bit on the weekend but then it's gone. [1:43] It's got that was very gonna go buy a bottle of it so. Thank you was jeff who provider that i believe or was that to chris i'm not sure i don't either way thank you chris jeff and everyone else that the auto pcs group so let's move on this episode so. Couple things david you've put into our intro they wanna talk about all spot of ice or listed in. [2:06] Spotify news is that in i heart radio some other list in a lot of places yeah so i hurt radio that's interesting because they're paid curve bankruptcy back in march the pill of us. Probably not but there were there the largest north american owner of radio cc over in a fifty radio stations and they declare bankruptcy and the number to the date the canadian version separate is it concept okay but say technology the right. [2:33] Know that the app be sure sure about that thing so ownership of the real stations that's the problem is well the second largest one as well so, i never used the clear channel the rebranded back in two thousand eight and the second largest cup owner reassessment americans holds but half of what they on also declared bankruptcy recently so well, i mean think about if the say some talent. Loosely described his ass and somebody who really knows to the doing like ap with the idea and. You just need a few thousand dollars of equipment and the room right so this is for them then this is for, i free content enough to pay and answers and stop producers and things like that so dope try listen to us on i heart radio but actually to tell you the truth i'd rather people list was to a normal are says feet because then we get stats and then at some point we can, brag he has the brain right so i don't know disabled early starts are just made up and i think it's becoming even more more know but, but the lives in stats are right now industry standard stats and you can use it if you wanna monetize your park, and so will you listen to i heart radio you list your stature will you listen through other services like spotify that re hosted we don't get the listing stats right. Set what do you listen where you wanna listen which legalistic exact and if you're not listening well we don't care cuz you hearing this. [4:01] Alright so shall we move on david yeah hey guys what about the word of the week course we have taken her time away from this job because she continues to fail ho ho little car time to thank you for joining us now. So yeah for those who don't know where the week if, you playing along when you hear the word of the week for this episode and throughout the rest of your week and the rest of your eyes are weak ass for every happen to be here for the where the week you have to crank the word that we just hang offer hangover, alright. [4:35] So court tennessee's have a hangover city to three x the weight every tell you could hang only if he could rick jesse alright that the quote that i. Can you think of the guy working the sound board needs to add a bit of that so okay i try to get every time you hear the word haggar we have to take a drink z. Let's go to our next segment feature of the week. So feature the week swift keys of metal that new feature microsoft pots with ki way back kinda when companies that rent is two thousand eight or something that they bought them from two thousand ten but. What is working when they're gonna get to that place with key is a soft keyboard company. So windows phone had swift integrated and at the time go. Earlier this decade all the texting record for being beaten by people business with keyboard so it has things like trying to lift your, your digits like a farmer when every type the thumbs on a soft keyboard with a soft keyboard david you know they mean it, yeah have not not a physical keyboard like it having some classic blackberries or your mac subsurface as a hard the harbor keyboard but also has a soft keyboard, so what's you typing with your thumbs like most people do when they're taxing and the people in touch titus on the soft keyboard can help. So you don't have to lift a thumb and go to the next letter electric i'm go the next letter so fifty has built a drag so you can start. [6:08] Dragon to letters of i wanted to spell the word car i start with the sea mist rag my finger over to the a and then. To the are can i be done by sauce less movement to lift and put my phone back down but it also. [6:23] Music. [6:39] Just trying to get the retainer set up so i just got predictive technology based on. [6:47] Words like of si pacman hang and i have little my from at my guess that i'm the type hangover right and spins and, the people that weren't expecting records be released acting records will rely heavily on the project. Nature of it and not continue to type the word once it's predicted it that i use to love it on the windows phones and. And just plug it in it would be two or three suggestions for words it thinks you're going to type and you grab that it's got a five if so messages to your partner and you just kind of go along with what your foot was the section back and work to it so. Now the other keyboards have come out since then this flex e and a few others everyone has one either of william version writer but microsoft once windows phone knew it started. As a losing market share of yet have market should lose it to. Well what's microsoft's the phone was an obvious and not going to be a dominant platform they brought us with key out for all. And i do use it from time to time on my on my phone but guess what what their bringing it to windows ten oddly enough. So you could use it with your surface trade. Or maybe some future device that's coming out and that's much more interesting than yeah cuz i rarely use a soft keep on my surface. You do when your hall that and there's a pass for jeff to enter that still it has for it official recognition. [8:20] What will your children be websites with face sheriffs office towanda i wonder if i wanna face recognition work the handle. Yes okay so is that so anyways so swift key is coming to windows ten in red stuff i was in the red zone five previews right. Gonna try it out you can go that route for me what makes it interesting and maybe we should put this in the rumor section is the. It is the ability to use it for some new hard hard where that might be coming yes, hello tests news story of the week so david i'm gonna go to another history wanted to be the first one, okay and microsoft news now officially rolling out, to everyone on ios and android so my first new stories about in the comics off news of news from microsoft about microsoft news hot i love that i love so i want to cover that one first so what's new about that well. First off the rebranded their news app to microsoft news. And google's got and use other people and use apps. To all of the news content that microsoft will provide across android ios and sn will be coming to the news. I have a date we knew that they were going to bring the refreshingly know that their gonna rebranded so because they got such creative genius is at microsoft. [9:59] I came up with the phenomenal name of microsoft news what i'm install it you got me okay. [10:07] So this is basically all and i send news app. Yeah that's a bit of a refresh look so that's our first new story or second story is that david needs to speed up on the sound board not right now that's but that. Is that has never amritsar from are okay dog rented a red hair that's alright so what's our second easter what the second news story is that. Remote app and salsa coming to windows ten. So what is your amount happen stop will fit around for a while they have for with many things right so for instance if you have x box gold. More games with gold okay you would log into the website portal and you would, you could expense of dishes give it to you it could of the x box but you could pick a game hmm, and purchase it or get it for free and then have install on your x box for a next time its fuck launch loaded it would load the game and i can do the same thing to my android phone i can be. Looking at the app somewhere on the internet and have it on my clean stuff right to now you can do from access store to the device of choice. Which would also be a that's almost like they're getting ready for some sort of. Future device well that's also plan catch up but it's it's it's in the future when i think it's i think it's useful sucker's shattering. Again from the ozarks anything use a from a corporate perspective but. They'd be great for home use also for kids what up an app on your wife's phone cuz she never does it or not but thought only guys about us computer what is the she doesn't have whatever app you need. [11:49] Instead of being called into the her office to do it or your mother's computer okay okay yeah that's good so. That's the new feature but that's it all that earth shattering block. I think we're over seven features now i think this still some to come okay alright microsoft eclairs windows ten. April addition are ready for business shit. Right it's not or shattering again as you said that that's quick yeah so if three she came on may, yes and our engine our in june and they're saying it's ready for current printer business of current branch came out and now they're saying it was fairly quick and they they saying that they using ai eight track the success rate and. They were safe for devices are ready to accept it if corporations want to play it. [12:49] Of the customers that i deal with that are running windows ten most of them are experimenting with eighteen or three and i haven't seen this or to take up environments before and the last and the last round and what's the reason for that i think. I think they just have become less afraid of it okay it interesting interesting interesting. Alright shall we move on david yes well when we do the okay so office three sixty five and off start calmer getting a make over a visual interface take over alright. Not sure what you mean by that while the other gonna look different alot of red i just gonna be following more the you know. The usual way they try to make office user to use by hiding the features that you don't using. And put in the future sue to use out there a bit more thought lion yeah, so i understand they're gonna have a new singer rip new ribbon for an easy lady to have everything changing again but also that multiple ribbons how terrible and the rabbit took like half of the screen i know that wasn't the half but it was. Good job that was a good child at at that was back with reese for so low razz that. [14:06] Yeah right so without using all again there giving you the ability to have multiple to figure ribbon. Well as a regular then soon you colors do its been awhile since the refresh the look but also use your to. Find the same commands it use over and over by the same ten commandments or use the that if i start commands are use ninety five percent of it that was really if. That's a big argument to not bother with the full product like office right but the thing that the pet at ten percent your half of the ten ten top commander the same for everybody the other half for tiffany and how you work so. Does a new icons. And what will be interesting and some more ai mx of graph programming interface of you one who does my animation so looking for to seeing that. [14:58] Okay a little bit one of. Oracle is gonna be starting to charge for chaff starting the in january twenty nineteen and does this mean that we don't get to have hot every where it have to update to continue. I think well i think it's corporations right and after they pay a license and get pay support and. For the desktop version of java yeah microsoft does the same thing right. So yeah i forgot dollars forty dollars for the license and then a fifty is there a eighty four, this is us for support i guess that's per year and it's per person right so that's not insignificant to oracle's trying to make some money. What what is java se sweet i don't know. Per and pick what's an mp overs that sap at any and up is named user. Vs cpu does not persecute so that's user price of apple that the vice pres yeah well that could end up in some serious money. It can't for some organizations and if your. Java is most relation to some java so this gonna bill for to a bill for a lot of realizations up the possibly have budgeted for. Burchell licensing management services hire twenty java specialists to wrap up on it's in this area. [16:25] I know from dylan microsoft when they have audits they typically have a lot of leverage to stop cell or you'll right size some licensing agreements and corporations philly often feel backed in a corner and. They don't want to the lawsuit or the headlines for the added expense. Make a go so quickly was your job right see i open potentially lose their job if there if the feeling on it i i remember years ago like twenty years ago there was a family tablet with all the office licenses right place that. Right so let's. Interesting i wonder for his angels which away from using java as big as the foundation for alright let's move on okay so. Adobe is integrating ps services directly to next of office to sixty five, the other artie are benny pdf services in officer sixty five right but there's gonna be some new ones so you can only say this. Always expedia but for the last few generations bicep able to sew a lot so you don't have to get a pdf right or get distiller and you can edit things that are in pdf in word or an edge. So that the edit a pdf and word does do a good job how while i was the whole idea of having a pdf as a people could kneaded. How. [17:46] Yes all that that they would though that of course they could out of the pit was slightly challenge for them to do which is good enough protection. Okay well my understanding is well pdf render lot faster too so maybe microsoft please in pdf technology to render the men to the screens water take a look at that. [18:06] So he signature solution is being a ticket office to file a case that makes sense and. Okay looking for that off to keep an eye on anything can help me not print off pdf send signed the memory scanner again is a good thing. [18:24] If so that's okay what's next. What there was an article on the net on usb hubs for surface three it was kind of a fluffy article but it got me thinking to how much usb c i have run the house there. I don't have that much till usb c i have her house is my old windows phone that and uses that died on the lid is archer you have a surface. Tell that fuck to that's true but i never actually mia's b c cable and what's up with the camera cats answer your question about our cat charged it so you can church that so i've just thinking about what usb c devices i have. Inside my work laptop which the dell if my surface book to i have. Sam sung galaxy and my son has a chromebook. So of other certainly are a lot of compatibility issues and maybe the thing the pc repair that's my hp that i have for my client tell you my client is okay. But they try to be locked up for doing work for them yeah sickly and it's got usb c on it and i heard a rumor today to a. That apple with your next launch in september will be. I don't use what impressing but will be supporting us see to some extent so i don't know that means a lightning adaptor is gone. Which would be awesome i don't think it will be i think more mostly the charging cable will have lighting on one and the usb c on the other so can connect directly to mac. [19:57] I think very happy but out might my point was just that. [20:04] It's not taking that long for us pc to become more popular not as long as it took for the original usb year those are the things real estate job coming in a bit quicker than i thought it was. I'm glad one of apple took it on of course one connector olivia when connected room unless like one apple one with wireless charging bull. For sure i mean why would apple just knock it where the charging port for him to do something and that's what i see them doing it to people oh that's interesting at pulled. Well should we start that rumor how we could this week for that section show fan and don't take this sarcastic flight about apple. Does it almost sound circus reviews say it's the battery life on an iphone is very good. [20:48] So having a port that you can charge all the time isn't that important for the first couple years about. Sure i suppose my pc but you that info wireless charging is nice to be become a little bit more ubiquitous so i know that there are some cars that have wireless charging built in table area put your phone to get wireless charging and. Can bluetooth right there as well so. Basically put it in the holder see not texting either while you're driving right for you tax with your voice which is for tax ellie's legal but texans with key. The trip sorry i just thought that was interesting just if apple through the weight behind it fine but if i was them i wouldn't bother i built that lady for another generation and then. Skip the poor church alright anything else yes one more one more hola before you do that. A little bit of reading if this is our last new story me to be really crisp on the news out for a while okay okay okay well then. So what is this i don't know sir, al makes windows up take a smoother with what this is its a lie all along okay so. Talking about the uptake and how quickly people are installing eighteen or three me other piece is how many people are having issues with. What eighteen or three so at an and the part are you set for it so not sure bus keep really real i suspect microsoft when they release eighteen of three whatever they did they don't necessarily know it works with all harbor yet. [22:27] Because there's a limit all harbor a whole softer and so. Or they will know certain things that won't work with the block certain things so there they were manually blocking certain hardware in manually approve in certain harper and you know that worked okay but now they have some ai interface there's so. Can a proven block card for it much quicker ever itself right so. Yeah and i can guess a baby east on past experience with something doesn't work on this dell at work on these other ones well the same chipset or whatever right. So that's so that's how microsoft is making it less painful for people upgrade me that i do with the uptake of eighteen three fix uppsala keep looking. [23:10] Music. [23:19] Right that's it for the news now what are we gonna go heard any rumors from microsoft. Well not message for microsoft but from the twitter verse. My twitter stock by the waist onto the roof this year old has a couple limbs interesting with all the stuff the trampling the dow is down but the tc is up. When i'm pot stock and shopify hot stock isn't doing that good to check today. Now does it got legalized today all the october seventeenth is the day. Three say this but will talk more about this feeling with defect yeah so rumors more people lose loading windows ten arm on their old windows phones. [24:01] Have you done this i have not why not have just not gotten around to it yet next my wife still using my windows phone as as her personal phone, she should be getting you for from work any day now was waiting for that arrive but she's in that is a personal phone cuz she has no old old blackberry as are work for, who who okay so that, so back to the folks that past the is jeff that ass to the pc is group i am wondering if people be a shoehorn it onto an arty. [24:36] Well i'm sure i can the question is what would what value would you get by doing that you move away from the inside by you that goes for this as your not losing that your double housing. That's fifty okay if not okay i'm thoughts up alright and, message for that section so not sure if this is something we should create as a new segment are not for now let's put it in the r and r, are not okay rants and raves right so but did we should have an app of the week segment what do you think. Share share the so many windows apps at least three or four i can think of yes is so well application called your trumpet. Okay and what it is a basically a replacement for the volume control and gotta put a picture in the us in the. The shona and shona out now if you have been using this david you could have turned the volume down on your browser without turning down the volume on that c note that's exams you would not of polluted this. Recording with that scene at peace you're forgetting that you have future you has added that section out so people won't understand what you're saying that's true. [25:56] To night you can edit this uh yes or get at it nothing out atlanta flows better but as an example you can. A picture that you basically have not just one massive on control and not just you know a few different devices you can do an application by application basis. I like that they would. [26:16] You know i do a lot of web conferencing and such and to be able to turn on the volume on skype early sky pop believe all of the things down with the would be nice exactly how. I recommend people try it out i like it at a nice name to the terrible name. It's okay to install suffer while recording is not sure okay.

But that's okay being very saw now do they share when you bring in what its called the crown royal apple. Crown royal apple flavored whiskey flavored whiskey kinda like all the flavored vodkas but i'm not with fan of flavored whiskeys typically and it flew of us are flavor like space size so this came in a little bottle attached to a bottle of. Regular countering say harvest ugly have recently when her ms so and leave her missed we like to try things are just that we like the things that her we have never tried yes we do. Usually we like to ft i think so we have a tried. That we like yeah that is the goal the more things that we think alike i think and a nice bottle of tomato and for fathers day which i forgot to bring i'm pretty sure like it is bayside to cost bayside so let's hear it open up here. [30:04] Here you go but it's not a cork well flat it smells like. Me of apples set it up this might be my stop lawful snapple happens when you have to get the kids start this might be the way to do it.

[31:09] Well the sick fuck leader than your first kiss. [31:19] What what what toxic sooner than the camera that is a member those flavored lip glasses and girls use to wear and guys too i guess still do. [31:28] And the head of the dumb stuff yeah okay for me to drink the genius bar. The month he has no to say a couple of things we would talk about in the after party were talk about. Hope pots being pot being legalized yes yes in the apparently october in all of canada as opposed to state but say they're province by province so that's good but. It's taking them like two and a half years legalize pot. Tell the post office is really looking for to it because it had declining business for years cannabis post right exactly. However they are now going to be the only official delivery agent will they already can deliver things with certain constraints you can. Ask for id you can ask for age and all the sort of things to and that's how alcohol is delivered. [32:31] Do you think that would be a big deal people by little and how close usually delivered in a glass of. [32:38] Picture but you can order have your in the lc go will deliver by count the posts and they'll check you for it okay so shifting gears little bit and. What about the carries hiring five or more people between now and the end of the year right you supply the of a pretty interesting it department of transport for them really and from them i just got a job there but it's over in blocking him but the one global. Get stock options. Well do you have stock of her to have spark up so somewhere else to sign art of suck there so. Yeah i don't think i'd want to drive to buckingham doing in school system too high to drive and work from. When will the by that doesn't excuse yes yes. Alright so david takes bring that was keep but this on to that get no i think it was it's a bit overpriced that was free yeah and that's okay that's four x is yeah i could see making a mark making a mix drink with this maybe. Or having somebody are trying to get. Can a person drunk which we shouldn't be doing this or old men friday if thirty all that the if they think can. The sort of sweet drinks are very popular but with other people. It was a war of what ifs i know which is where this is great this would dot edu say hey girl what if we blender this with the chest might be something palatable you could you. [34:12] Like this taste like melted popsicle popsicle are so sickly sweeper frozen only tasted but then it may melt cuz that freezes you try it lowers the gold is les paul tiles right yeah it doesn't taste like. [34:26] Wow this would be getting crushed ice ice cream. [34:31] Baby hot on ice cream so pie yeah for this and realize cuties like apple pie a la mode they are okay that's what you think apple pie yeah except it does not as soon as later and doesn't have any tart tell sweet yeah and you'll. But like granny smith that of course that if it so that's all i got yeah anything else. Okay good charted we had opted me do without the sound board and letting you do the sound board for one note, it's that was hartford i thought that which is i knew it was that post separation anxiety right away when so much that was the. Giant pauses and the double clicks if their served as if there was worth it i what that need to do that but i saw how much it hurt you every time i had history clearly so you so you're messing with me and yeah i went back and fixed it. Oh very double bass direction we wind down okay alright. [35:32] Everyone have a great day we'll see you when we come to it so we will probably not recording a we talk about plate recording next week we have nothing by that locales okay adults of all start with self clean was the only have all start full stop. Why don't we thought so room so. Yeah this prayer last episode in this run weeklies okay this is next week last week of school for the kids. Does the off chance will build up so next week but don't count on it then not start when say here right and then the white yes i'mma. Yeah it will rock is away so i have to look after yeah and i think he's graduation okay so. Where they came out for dinner after that graduate from middle school we saw a few of voice left with a few minutes left very few left in our jurisdiction mostly moving to either they're going all the way up to, okay great okay to eight or they're going great seven to twelve, who in our area we have a middle school but it's in the same building as ice yet doesn't mean they're moving that but anyways. You're now we're now going into the summer season it will be a radek. Releases at best but will hit the ground running again in the fall. I expect we'll try to get out of one or two episodes over the summer at least one a month over the summer and then a few special episode maybe remote yeah i'm gonna and i'm gonna few places i'm going to. [37:06] But work off your in boston a security conference and florida so we're or doesn't really waiting for new.

Here are your hosts the surface smith i'm calling smith. I'm david smith and we are the surface smith's bringing you episode eighty four congratulations david. Yes yes it a form that's older than your it is older than me but it's also eight episodes in eight weeks. Lucky eight and we have to jump through some hoops to get you there so we don't eight episodes in eight weeks we're gonna have to skip after a jump right ten just like windows did. Book, so welcome to the show this is a little bit different you're gonna hear some audio differences this time this is the first time in over a year we're doing something called a mix minus you can look that up we might talk about that after the show but basically david's in his home office i'm at my regular office, we're recording this with skype but we also have other things going on in the background, but the took a lot of effort for us to get to this point to make it work so i think we deserve a little bit, the of something from our listeners thick thick thick we've been working at this for a while trying to get this to work we think we finally got the sound quality would we would lay. Which is great for a couple reasons why as we can have gas. And row cast with having guests on site and then the other is that during whatever time of year that were traveling a lot we can just. [1:35] One of us could you write was that just remote gas without remote guess before but the problem is remote guest don't hear are intro or outro and things like that they can't interact with the, the sounds that we've added to the show mostly to amuse ourselves but all the same sometimes we have real sound useful sound from tax. Speaking of not useful sound let's hit the next what well well until the were not really wanna you wanna go to the next clip okay hey guys what about the word of the week. You can just set me up like that without. What you do today yeah so where the weeks of david you don't have a soundboard connected this time so not gonna let court on the choose it she's also failed on a few times you were going to choose the word of the week can i also that is. [2:24] Hey dave can i have one of the week said say the word of the week is flexible flexible so that is that that's you being flexible right there. Exactly so maybe next week i'll have some board i'm not but anyhow we have a lot more flexibility in how we were part of podcast now and two david couldn't make it this evening so. We're being flexible and and getting this episode so pretty please with the way things are going so far but i don't wanna waste lot time talking about. The matter details of the show i'd like to really get into that so that yeah i think next were gonna go to each year of the week that feature of the week thanks court anna so this week i have to go and buy a surface pen. [3:06] Why well because i didn't have one on my surface book to i had one for my. The surface three a surface pro three by the way this episode i'm actually using three different surfaces i'm using a surface pro, to as my soundboard i am using a surface book to run the skype mix minus the i'm watching you through right now and i'm using my surface pro three to record everything. So what three running honey surface is you have running david for this episode one one okay for surface is all around but, i didn't have a pen dedicated to my surface book to an evidence of work a client site where i like to draw some diagrams and things like that so i bought a new pen and i realized, two things one awfully expensive hundred thirty dollars canadian but hundred they are american darn useful devices they don't come with a device that like talk about this i got the what i got the cobalt blue, which is but look like a pen however it's got it all you got a button on the back, from the top which is also your racer and also brings up your inking menu in windows ten and there's another button which is a right click button which you can use when your in can. How old is the one about how. Right in the early early ones are being held by the top well done about on top of that wasn't that what little but on the top is on the race so these are babies are. [4:37] Pens made by intrigue the other interesting thing is there's no clip on them anymore. [4:44] Alright guess because they're designed to make medically held against the against. The surface book two and the new hot surface pros but might might identically holes and has a clip get but the cook gets in the way i guess the new one to not have a clip so i thought i'd playing at but what i've done david is, started thinking get on that device which i'm really enjoying. Again i miss that too hot but i've reached out to a bunch of vendors to get us some sample intrigue pans that they make and we can try the muscle which ones we like. Excellent so feature the week is our. Is the microsoft surface pen and concept of thinking and we talked about that before no just remind everybody that if you are going to use ink with windows ten there's an application control panel to help train it to use your. I have to use your head writing style and recognize better so. There's our future the week and have anything you like that to that it. [5:52] I think he got it sounds like you can do a lot of flexible opens with a, stop you story of the week alright lots of news to bring you this week david you're take the first stuff you new stories not take the last few. Sure as a result of amazon everyone hopefully knows that i am a amazon echo fanboy have one of my car have one in my office. And if you see a new look so an amazon echo looking is what. I would think i would think and look with the name of that would be a display added to an amazon echo but now it's basically a camera that allows you to look at things such as people and then how to. You choose clothes for them or you know decorate your room and also the thing so really an augmented reality tool for shopping freshly minced wait wait you're we we try to tell me that amazon built something. To help them sell you stuff we will go to far for the food of fuck yeah well it happened but yeah. You things are they like to. Sell other people things so they do have a two cartridge so david we just had our first skype glitch on the audio portion there. It's okay we'll live with it. So tell us more about this like it could tell you if that sure goes with those parents of those jeans make your ass look fat what would look what could it. [7:29] Is well yeah i can try on clothes you can try different colors on your for decorating rooms and those who think so really i think it augment real is real the way to look at it. Okay man would you think have when you buy things on my new att u and i would buy it a shirt or something on line cuz you know what's gonna be pretty mush the same size and the same shirt as before. But there's probably other people that are a bit fussy or under called him then then you're i might be. I'm actually tempted to trash most my wardrobe underscore three or four different looks and just all the same and make it next. [8:07] Is it the from over will take it to the good will store. [8:13] Yeah i was like steve jobs's did you know and same thing brock obama did the same thing now is with grey suits you. Okay we'll so that's uh that's the amazon echo list it is still you and i would need. I have a twenty look fucking amazing i can imagine that simple yet so does the political market and you and i for cody okay what's next step in news david. [8:42] So this is this been busy with a couple projects one's called free card which is a concept of a keyboard. That is the touch screen as well as the touch screen. [8:54] So basically to have a touch screen he or a touch screen monitor and or you can think of is a dual mark do will. A dual monitor computer that you would then use another laptop so somewhere drama like a folding display so okay sold on. But a full keyboard alright so we got basically told size two displays that fold up to go there like a clam shell but one is a that they're both display but one can use a keyboard. Because of the are actors that are soft are your rotated ninety degrees and which case you have dual monitors and you just use an external bluetooth keyboard for. Okay that this is just a concept now how difficult could that be to make. All those people exist we already have the touch screen keyboards i think it would be that difficult. [9:43] Okay now question for david i was pronouncing as seuss i don't yes properly pronounce it do you. No give some where there yeah i do but it's on the sound board it's is use and with the other um what's the other wave heard it's been yesterday since i have a basis in asus. Yes for a seuss okay be right meter it its a fucked civil design but it's nothing really extraordinary but the cool thing is somebody first now so my first my first worker. One of the other managers there talked about the idea that keyboard should be. Changeable so that you know if you wanna work in a different language you can work in a different language and effective it look back at the original service announcements member they have different keepers they're gonna do i can use a keyboard and now you know. Officers of different keyboards. These weren't necessarily dynamically changing keepers belie you have a different template and keyboard so i guess there always next station the old worker templates that we use the tape onto our two birds. Okay it make sense okay any other news related to that from what i have another one passes is this. Excuse braces a screen pad so what date does the replace the touch pad on a keyboard and. May the keep made it ain't no monitors lol i don't understand the value their. [11:14] Well it's very much like the the apple touchpad okay with the track pad with the. Who intro up that change that will be interesting for soundboard that. I can think of tons of places where that would be handy but i'm not really sure how you would get to the point where applications would be that flexible by the developers you have to do something or that have to be some kind of a shame or something in between. Yeah yeah so the concept i can see how right now in union. Oh i didn't know hacker's i've been not one window and so the certain things that one out that would be nice to be able to have it the quick and double click console on that. [11:57] And then different things for different apps and things for us i think the concept is our by think it would be i think it would be hard to get the applications that far ahead hand. It might not add much to the mets may five trip cost so you know high and laptops come of it and. [12:16] You notice on a huge value but it didn't really cost to much at alright sounds good david. I'm just adding and you have a new story wanna talk but that's not other there anything else you want me to take some items stopped writing alright so i go start not not the staff dragon i'm gonna go with. Microsoft partners to roll out windows collaboration displays later this year so what is that mean the surface have been. Successful or not a measure of success little break on its numbers but they are still back ordered so unlike those original windows are t and up, original surface pro devices that microsoft had a warehouse full of that they have to get rid of and they took with nina remotely dot right down on, surface hubs are not in that category they are, back ordered people have to get the mail we got the new surface hub to it's coming out that's tie level of talked about that on the show and so microsoft, he is a lot only ems to build something called windows collaboration displays now these are not surface hubs than interesting thing about the collaboration display, is it doesn't have compute, so it works with a another windows ten computer that's casting to it in some way but is designed for collaboration and this is exactly is a your customers do what the service of any what, yeah pretty much but it's got touch it's got presents its got, set your cameras and things like that too low so it's more than what your customers do yes that it got its got more but that doesn't mean they'll they'll use it and it will run microsoft three sixty-five which we talked about. [13:55] Last episode as a bundle of windows ten office three sixty five and enterprise mobility sweet with the security modules as well so, will start seeing announcements for those maybe we can get a demo device would be cool if you got one in your office and i got one in my office and we try to do a collaboration podcast. [14:17] Yes so we can go to the for microsoft stores and collaborate from there or makes a ton of sense yeah race so that's that's it for that is i am doing okay i've got two that are kinda related. Okay the first first one is the snap dragon eight fifty from qualcomm so tell hold on one hundred eight forty five. I don't know i think they made one today that its available but the eight forty five a ball is the one that the first one i can run with just. The thing as it it thirty five a thirty five so i'm not sure i don't really track all of these so i gotta be careful with the week, call come numbers things because there's really two pieces in play here and will explain that so snap snap dragons i use. Arm processors but it to full chipset right its that reagan eight fifty is call com's version of the core texts arm chip and their chipset so i, there's another can call arm which actually designs the court tax and it's not right and qualcomm does, their own magic with some potentially produces themselves etc but there's a little bit confusion there because the snapper. So the numbering may have something to do with either court text number in or call comes on internal numbering at which i don't fully understand. We're lucky numbers yeah who knows but so i don't know what happen to the eight forty-five talked about the eight fifty so. [15:53] The eight fifty is designed specifically for windows pcs. We had so were looking at bigger devices like laptops and convertibles higher clock speeds up. [16:10] Better heat dissipation so they don't have to worry about the things that you have to worry about when you trying to jam everything into a phone because prior to the eight fifty qualcomm was really designing their chips. To work on mobile devices like phones and some tablets but the phones were there really their big market right dad, lately and the system so they had yo they lt the or the or whatever else, with the four g that the carriers need all that built in and the expectation was at the cram as much of it as possible to very small space is not gonna be a lot of room for batteries knock me a lot of room for heat dissipation so that the deal with all of those, wake fifty give them a little bit more breathing room excuse the terms and for talking about heat dissipation but that, they have a lot more flexibility david time in in the design because the expectation is it's going to go into a large chassis. What's your or your laptop right is not really designed for telephone or mobile phone so the real problem with her with, get the original ones was was performance right number was complex but the battery life people all kind of complained a little bit that i can't run x sixty four wraps but, really it was all up for saloon bar the performance hospital with burn the performance issue wasn't emulation layer that's part of it but also part of it was phillips the that the underlying hardware so this hardware, really takes it next level and should be able to provide better performance on those the next generation of windows ten arm pcs. [17:48] What percentage of user needs can they get to it this the original one would been low and you'll travellers and so on and baby ten percent of computers, people all the time or maybe thirty percent you know this brings it out maybe to what of the computing power that may be half the people you must. [18:05] And do you also look up i get to hire display resolutions as well so will see what happens it really comes down to will the developers in braces and we re compile their color code to run. [18:18] If they don't why because i think i've if i'm not mistaken. [18:25] The developer still have to re powder coat support sixty four bit are know they well depends on the app as if it's the next city six app it will continue. If it's if it's a legal store app which is having life because there are so few of them than what they have to do is choose a check box in when they can figure there are there and saw for that it just one last piece of news that exciting for me. Call comes including an lt modem on this chipset so all of these pcs will have lt which something i'm a fan of. Yes it all should all right so now related but not from qualcomm it from our. Right okay so arm makes the term chipset right so the chip designer arm that they're the ones that make the court tax which. Qualcomm could intercept reagan's right men do we should maybe get a hardware designer engineer in here talk a little bit more details about that so that we don't bleed people too far stray but here's, the interesting thing the court tax a seventy six cpu is targeted being thirty five percent more performance than its predecessor. And. The colonists in a lap top class shit they're expecting it like i said thirty five or potentially forty percent faster but. More than that they're looking at it i having have a much much better battery life. [19:53] And they're looking at it from a performance perspective, being close to an i five seventy three hundred so, target squarely it right the center of intel's got intel's market space there and they expect that they put more cash memory on it it up with the core i seven. That's interesting cuz it if you really get up to that performs then people are choosing the arm ship because. Because it uses less battery people are choosing that arm chip because it's cheaper than all the other venecia arm. Who is. Get it does that it's the always on such as the battery is always on a few other things and it's and scholar right smaller devices so those two pieces of news the snap dragon eight fifty and the. Court tax a seventy six kinda go together my expectation is that the qualcomm. [20:57] Right actually uses that core tech chip but i haven't got detail supporting that yet happening i think this fits in with a rumor that apple my two yeah. Arm purse that's your laptop sometime if there really is this much action the environment then apple would be fools to not consider. Okay so i got one last new stored around other news so first of all if we put this on one of microsoft yeah it would be kind of funny because of the of it. What is microsoft's market helping we would have a good laugh at it does like his cake up really co ia and so on some but we we didn't even think about it but somehow microsoft. Bucket house so here's the thing then next up but get help for seven point five billion dollars, a lot of people are upset that get have is an open source for positive re i gonna get that eric lenard or another developer on the show i think i joel, julie bare wanted to be on the show have them talk more about get up because they use it all the time i use a little bit, but it's an open source thing people get code from there the interact with it i been our website is is actually power to get hubby's project me up, to run our wordpress site that's on top of my classical server and it's all serve to microsoft azure from get apps i use it on occasion microsoft has put a lot of its documentation to get help to feel again have account you can go in and edit, microsoft documentation and then they hadn't done that was very interesting concept they have they published the doc was a let you go in and change the mets. [22:32] Right it's cheaper than doing it them self what. Yes and i know most couples are very aggressive and attacked some even hi there documents right to be quite a change, so i'm not sure what this means for microsoft, it it is totally sign of the times because steve bomber will always campaigning against open source it was bad for the economy bad for national security all sorts of things and such as cut. Us a kinder gentler view of open source different guess guess so. I'd like to get some be on the show that can speak more knowledgeable about that in the next few weeks or months david what you think about what's you that shall we. Okay we will we will do that i think that's it for the news. [23:20] Music. [23:28] So david anything else me to talk about do we have any rumors and the what if scenarios me rants or raves. I can't think of any right now and you know i do a few things and want to talk about them. Okay so our show numbers have been going up we been steadily getting a few more listeners every week or so that the episode numbers cuz that be going up to the half that's true. But we've also been interacting with. With some of our listeners and fans on twitter that's probably easiest way to interact with us some interesting discussions there. But next week we're gonna do interaction whole other level we're gonna be doing a live show we've talked about that that's june thirteenth were going to be at the auto what pc users group and we're going to be at which museum david. [24:20] Science and tech about three months is deviation the aviation museum and reading a live show they're gonna be recording there so that's a great way to interact with. List of the show if anyone from the auto a pc users group of losing now and wanted to, drop us a note to be included in the show please go to our website and look at the rants a raves and, is a little leave us a voicemail about me go ahead and do that work from mobile phone at work from a pc that if you gonna microphone attached to it up, by the way any listener the show can do that actually you if you not list for the show you can do that and we'll gladly drop that audio into the show if it's appropriate, and and do you that way but please interact with us. So this is like i said this is a special show we're using something called a mix minus which we've done before we wired our own using multiple devices strung together but this is a bit of a professional set up of that x minus. [25:23] Is this working is gonna be good for the summer and i can set up to the show i wanna try it just with the plain old telephone system see how well it works there okay. [25:34] But shall we wrap things up call that alright thanks for being so flexible david in on this record today up.

[26:25] Well welcome to the after party after the podcast we'd like to share some whiskey now this is a very special with you tasting i've got a guest with me he is name is wayne, lexi highway hello everybody out there right so as you recall we record this episode on wednesday the. Fix for the seventh of the sixth, june and david was remote and so i wasn't able to share whiskey with them so he gets to miss out so since then we've had some really interesting things happen the washing capitals won the stanley cup and rob ford has. When me and terry election he'll be our new premier and i decided to open an iconic bottle of whiskey and david it's your own fault for not being here, and not being able to share with us so we would like to tell us that we have yet calling me of them calling fine oak eighteen year old, i can describe it for you if you wish sure this will this work exclusively maturity in sure you'll casks all whiskeys in this are distilled before nineteen ninety six that this is truly iconic bottle this is right up there with the johnny walker blue, this is like what do people talk but don't pairing i'll be in a comic polish and paid this is my comic bottle of whiskey and its been a victim of its own success in that. Takes guess what eighteen yrs to produce and they didn't lay down of stock early enough so supply and demand is really jacked the price up, so you sold in most markets not sold in ottawa that i don't think it's old anywhere regular regularly in canada in chicago las vegas la new york places like that you find. [27:56] So wayne what does our good friend jean marie in the bible have to say will according to the gym but we have your classic cream sherry roma thick, sweet but the light in live in by a distinct barley sharpness, i haven't had it yet i'm looking for to to tasting it call on us the whisky that i measure all whiskeys by while so. Here's what i am expecting to taste some juicy ness julius clean an intense delivery strands of honey and syrup, pave the way for videos and spices to get a grip complexity level just are startling and the weight just about spot on so based on gym ari's take on it i'm looking for ten right there was in a ninety four point five which is exceptional so let's take a look at it and the glass wine what, color legs in the dark and give me it is dark, darker than i actually expected her mama now this one by the way has no color in it it's all natural color from the sherry sherry casks okay so is that really good legs of us what's will up the glassy calm down that little leg there. And yo i'm a fan of adding water to whiskey but enough to do that just yet this one is very good on its own but as you know when you get about the twenty some percent alcohol. Is where the aromatic scott released this is forty three percent alcohol. By volume in there take a sniff of that smell vanilla coffee a little bit leather what a sweet. Yeah a little bit of set get coffee for sure what to get this ball on this one i think i got in las vegas. [29:29] What do you think is not amazing on the initial just initial taste palate to finish it sweet salty. Little bit of stress yet it's both atom is amazingly smooth and now he added a drop of water weigh. [29:49] Stop the fan you gotta see no start up for more sweet, and more complexity little or how to come out of it at a curiosity i'm i'm adding some some plain ol tap water here is there a particular type of water that would work best ideally you'd want water to still the river spay cuz that the space i was okay. I have some at home that this will do just fine with the way that. [30:21] Yeah i like it i like my scotch is sweeter as opposed to smokey. And pd and and this fits the bill right is well thanks for taking time out of your busy day to share some with me when my pleasure icon but you but you know i would've, i will drink alone that's not a problem that i said that i would enjoy this alone as well but good to have that we have you with me and i think it will eat away at you and i drink together. Often when i was a on everyone so if that's true, usually usually it's it's beer in my hand but the stuff is is a nice change it up with in my hands that's true so thanks again, take a bite of listeners my pleasure calling in goodbye to everybody out there okay keep your stick on the ice and scotch on the rocks. Oh by the way you know what way i can leave one thing it take one more step and this is really how this this makes me feel. [31:15] Music.
