Ladies and gentlemen hmm solid Mike the one and only Omar esoph the best goatee since jafar of Aladdin Oh, that's a that's a bold claim. That's a good goatee though. I'll stick with it I'll go a better hair than him up here. Yeah, but he might have you on the goatee. Oh, what do you mean chest hair? You see the three chest hairs right here. This is HD. This is 4k, right? No, they I mean you go really see we sent every subscriber a 4k screen so they could see everyone I think I think P word he's happening whoever counts the correct number of hairs leave the comment below Free Kaisen program, but you need the exact amount. I've already counted it. Yeah, he knows I know okay ladies We're talking front squat some of you've recently seen the training vlogs which you're seeing right here Connor's making beautiful magic with this cream. I'm weightlifting. I'm squatting. I'm deadlifting, but I'm front squatting Which is something I've only really done one serious block of probably five years ago Yep, and I was doing the cross arm deal And it did help build up my quads. It felt really good But we're gonna talk about how when why two front squat Back then I think my best front squat was maybe 375 or so, so we're going for the 200 kg squat.  It obviously is super Super important for when you're cleaning and jerking doing any kind of weightlifting movements, but secondary It's really good for your core allows you to really stabilize and control your midline Which can transfer to everything in life, but let alone your back squat your deadlift your overhead any movement really Oh, yeah, and it puts a lot of emphasis on the quads, which is super important again for any kind of deadlift I think especially the sumo sumo quad strength is vital as well as again snatch back squat, etc And I'm trying to put the back squat as well Hit us hit us with why when who why where so I'm gonna say something that might be apocryphal Where it's not necessarily true, but I heard that Ed Cohen a little lad called Ed Cohen Never heard of the greatest lifters of all time one of the greatest humans of all time His favorite accessory movement for the deadlifters the front squat Yeah, I don't doubt it now And I'm gonna say something else the main limiting factor for front squat strength versus the high bar squad and the low bar Squad where they don't train and where the front squat actually does train and where weightlifters excel They just have that beautiful Upright posture will be your thoracic erectors And so the ability for you to maintain your shelf.  So I'm not speaking from experience. I'm speaking from knowledge Your ability to maintain that shelf will train your erectors, which will lead you to be more upright So if you're someone that finds yourself collapsing in the high bar squad in the low bar squad Then as an accessory movement to work on that quality because if you if you got the quad strength Let's say you do belt squats, too And you know you notice that your quads never tire your glutes never tire you're just gonna fold it over back Yeah, and then all that shit the front squats fantastic But I think for most people in any event you can get a little lower on the front squat You can work on things such as engaging your lats, which actually when you do a high bar and low bar squad It's easier to feel that out and then lastly the front squat is really good for anterior bracing.  It'll just feel tight and kind of the breathing embracing Yeah, really force you into that position because if you have any You know inability to brace in the midline. You're just dumping that bar off and on rack really We're in the back squat. You have so much tissue in between you and what's going on Oh, yeah, it may fold you over but a lot of people squat that way already whether it's a bent back or not Hey, everybody loves a good anecdote and I will say that Eric Helms in the off season recently He has his best quads Recently and it's primary movement was the front squats I do think the front squats allow you to load your quads a little bit better I think even so if you're a weight lifter, you already know you should be front squat Yeah, that's a given and so we can't talk about that But I do want to talk about more the general lifter power lifters. I'm chasing some aesthetics. Yeah Yeah, so everyone else like the 98% I think the front squats first for aesthetics are very important I think they're I hate throwing around this phrase when I say it's a little safer all I mean I think loads are really large factor in determining injuries just because 800 pound squat in an absolute sense I think can wreak more damage. Yeah, you're getting a lot of stimulus a lot of Muscular hypertrophy potentially and strength out of potentially less loads.  It is a little easier to dump That's yeah, yeah, and it's easier to dump in any event The front squat for the average person the why I would have it as a secondary Probably not primary unless it feels that good and it feels better than a high bar low bar Or perhaps your frequency is pretty high right now I'm squatting back squatting three times a week and friends one twice Yeah, I feel great. Yeah, I actually like so first off I like front squatting frequently and I like squatting in general also frequently So I would say for the average person if you squat three times a week I would say two to two times one or two times throwing a front squat variation And what's cool about once again because the loads less of the systemic fatigue on your body I feel is also lower because the limiting factors You'll notice for most people if you don't front squat your thoracic area is not strong enough in the front rack itself Yeah, whereas, you know You got to kind of have that come to Jesus moment when you're doing low bars You're working up to your single and 500 pounds is 500 pounds, right?  Ladies and gentlemen another great tool to throw in Some kaizen programs have them. Maybe some kaizen programs have them on the way Appreciate you guys so Mike, you know where to find them all more yourself the one and only link in the bio Catch the next one


From the CUBE studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world, this is a CUBE Conversation. Hi, I'm Stu Miniman, and this is a special CUBE Conversation coming to us from our Boston area studio. We know that so much has changed in 2020 with the global pandemic on, with people working from home. Staying safe is super important, and that especially is true when it comes to the threats that are facing us. So really happy to welcome to the program, Hardik Modi, we're gonna be talking about the NetScout Threat Intelligence Report for the first half of 2020. Hardik's the AVP of Engineering for Threat and Mitigation Products. Hardik, thanks so much for joining us. Thanks Stu, it's great to be here. Thanks for having me. All right, so first, set this up. This is NetScout does these threat reports and on pretty regular cadence. I have to think that the first half of 2020 will dig into this little bit is a little different because I know everybody when they had their plans at the beginning of 2020, by the time we got to March, we kind of shredded them and started over or made some serious adjustments. So why don't you introduce us to this and then we'll talk specifically about the first half of 2020 results. Right, thanks Stu. So I'm here to speak about the fifth NetScout Threat Intelligence Report. So this is something that we do every six months in my team in particular the NetScout Threat Intelligence Organization. We maintain visibility across the internet and in particular like threat activity across the internet and very specifically with a strengthened DDoS activity. And so there's a lot of data that we have collected. There's a lot of analysis that we conduct on a regular basis. And then every six months we try to roll this up into a report that gives you a view into everything that's happened across the landscape. So this is our report for the first half of the year. So through June, 2020. And yes, as we came into March, 2020, everything changed. And in particular, when the pandemic kind of set upon us countries, entire kind of continents went into lockdown. And we intuited that this would have an impact on the threat landscape. And this is, even as we've been reporting through it this is our first real roll up and look at really everything that happened and everything that changed in the first half of 2020. Yeah, it absolutely has such a huge impact. My background, Hardik, is in networking. You think about how much over the last decades we've built out those corporate networks, all the Wi-Fi environments, all the security put there. And all of a sudden, well, we had some people remote now everybody is remote. And that has the ripple on corporate IT as well as those of us at home that have to do the home IT piece there. So why don't you give us a look inside the report? What are some of the main takeaways that the report had this time? No, so you're right. The network became everything for us and the network became how our students attended school, how we did our shopping, how we did certainly finance and most definitely for a lot of us how we did work. And suddenly the network, which certainly was a driver for productivity and just business worldwide suddenly became that much more central. And so we tend to look at the network both at the enterprise level but then also a lot of what we get to see is at the service provider level. So what's happening on the big networks worldwide? And that's what we rolled up into this report. So a few things that I want to kind of highlight from the report. The first thing is there were a lot of DDoS attacks. So we recorded through our visibility 4.83 million DDoS attacks in the first six months of the year. That's almost 30,000 attacks a day. And it's not like we hear about 30,000 outages every day. Certainly aren't 30,000 outages every day. But this is an ongoing onslaught for anybody who exists on the internet and this didn't abate at all through the first half of the year. If you kind of go like just look at the numbers, it went up 15% for the same period year on year. But then as you enter into March and in particular like the date when the WHO sort of announced the global pandemic, that's essentially the start that we marked. From that day onwards, the rise in attacks year on year for the same period a year ago is 25%. So that really just in sheer numbers, like a lot changed. And then as we go a level deeper and we look at like the nature of these attacks, a lot of that actually has evolved considerably over the past few years. And then in particular, like we're able to highlight a few stats in the first half of the year. And certainly like a lot of the drivers for this, the technical drivers are understood. And then there's just the human drivers for this, right? And we understand that a lot more people are at home. A lot more people are reliant on the internet. And just sad to say, but certainly also a lot more people aren't as engaged with school, with work, with society at large. And these tend to have knock-on effects across a lot of things that we do in life, but also in like cyber crime and in particular like in the DDoS space. Yeah, maybe if you could for our audience, I think they're in general familiar with DDoS. It's typically when sites get overwhelmed with traffic, different from say everybody working at home is be a little bit more cautious about phishing attacks. You're getting links and tax, links and email. Super important thing, please check this. Please don't click those links. Does this impact those workers at home? Or is it all the corporate IT and all the traffic going through those that there's ways that they can stop, halt that or interfere, get sensitive data? It's a really good point. And in large parts, I mean, and like with a lot of other kind of cyber crime activity, this is primarily felt inside the enterprise. And so as far as companies are concerned and people who are using VPN and other kinds of remote access to get to critical resources, the key challenge here is the denial of availability. And so it's okay. So you're right. Let's take a step back. DDoS distributed denial of service. This is typically when like a large polarity of devices are used to direct traffic towards a device on the internet. And we typically think of this as a site. And so maybe your favorite newspaper went down because of a DDoS attack or you couldn't get to your bank or your retail e-commerce as a result of the DDoS attack. But this plays out in many different ways, including the inability for people to access work just because their VPN concentrators have been DDoS. I think just coming back to the split between people who work for a company and the company themselves, I think ultimately is a shared responsibility. There's some amount of best practices that employees can follow. I mean, a lot of this enforcement and primarily ensuring that your services are running to expectation, as always is going to be the responsibility of the enterprise and something that enterprise security typically will want to cater for. All right. And how are these attacks characterized? You said it was up significantly 15% for the half year overall, 25% overall. Anything that differentiates big attacks, small attacks, do we know how many of them actually freeze a site or pause how much activity is going on? Right. So what I will say is that within just those numbers, and we're just simply just counting attacks, right? Even within those numbers, a key aspect that has changed is the rise in what we call multi-vector attacks.  Typically a DDoS attack would involve a single technique that was being used to cause damage. And then over time, as many techniques were developed and new vulnerable services are discovered on the internet, what we find is that occasionally there would be a combination of these vectors as we call them being used against the target. And so a big thing that has changed within the last two years is what we think of as the rise in multi-vector attacks. And what we're seeing is that attacks that involve even 15 separate vectors are up considerably like over a thousand percent compared to the same time last year and correspondingly attacks that involve a single vector are down in a really big way. And so we're just seeing a shift in the general like the techniques that are used within these attacks. And that has been considerable over certainly, same time 2019, but if you go back two years even, it would seem like a complete sea change. What other key things, key learnings did you have from the survey this year that you can share? Yeah, so one thing I want to highlight that we kind of, and I think it's been implicit in some of your questions, certainly in many conversations that I have, like what is the cost of these attacks? Like what is ultimately the impact of these attacks on society? And one of the ways in which we tend to think of the impact is in simply like outages, like any commerce site that does a certain amount of business every day, they can easily recognize that, all right, if I'm off for a day, for two days, for seven days, here's the impact in my business. So that tends to be understood at the individual enterprise level. Another cost that often is well recognized is like the cost of mitigating attacks. And so now there's, whether it's the service provider, the enterprise themselves, other forms of business or other entities who will invest in mitigation techniques and capacity, like those costs tend to be kind of, what we have done, and thanks to our kind of really unique visibility into service provider networks worldwide, what we've been able to do is extract essentially what we call the DDoS attack coefficient. And this is, think of it as like, here's how much DDoS attack traffic is going on worldwide or across any set of networks at any given time. So if you had zero DDoS in the world, that number will be zero, but it most definitely is not. There's, we have represented numbers for different parts of the world. This can be many, many, many gigabits per second, many terabits per second. And essentially, there's even just a transit cost for carrying this traffic from one point to another. And that is actually like, what we call the DDoS attack coefficient. And that cost is something that I want to highlight is being borne by everyone.  This ultimately, this is a cost that we're bearing as a society. This is the first time that we've actually conducted research like into this phenomenon, and I'm proud to say that we've captured this in, you know, a split across multiple geographies of the world. Yeah, it's been big challenge these days. The internet is a big place that there's worry about fragmentation of the internet. There's worry about that some of the countries out there, as well as some of the large multinational global companies out there really are walling our piece of the internet. One thing I'm curious about, we talked about the impact of work from home and have a more distributed workforce. One of the other big mega trends we've been seeing even before 2020 is the growth of edge computing. You talk about the trillions of IoT devices that will be out there. Does DDoS play into this? You know, I just, this narrow runs through my mind. Okay, great, we've got all these vehicles running that has some telemetry. All of a sudden, if they can't get their telemetry, that's a big problem. Yeah, so this is both the, you know, this is the devices themselves and the, you know, basically the impact that you could see from an attack on them. But more often what we see on the internet and the here and now is actually the use of these devices to attack other, like more established entities on the internet. So then, so for us now, for many years we've been talking about the use of IoT devices in attacks and simply the fact that so many devices are being deployed that are physically, they're vulnerable from the get go insecure at birth, essentially. And then deployed across the internet, you know, even if they were secure to start, they often don't have update mechanisms. And now, you know, they, you know, over a period of time new vulnerabilities are discovered in those devices and they're used to attack other devices. So in this report, we have talked about a particular family of malware called Mirai and Mirai has been around since 2016, been used in many high profile attacks. And over time, there have been a number of variations to Mirai and, you know, we absolutely keep track of, you know, the growth in these variations and the kinds of devices that they attack, sorry, that they compromise and then use to attack other targets. We've also kind of gone into another malware family that has been, you know, talked about a little bit called Lucifer. And Lucifer was another, you know, I think originally more Microsoft windows, so you're going to see it more on your classic kind of client and server kind of computing device. But over time, we've seen, we have reported on Linux variants of Lucifer that not only can be installed on Linux devices, but also have DDoS capabilities. So we're tracking like the emergence of new botnets.  You know, there's a lot of pain in our future just coming from the use of these devices in attacks. Well, I thought it was bad enough that we had in order of magnitude more surface area to defend against on. I hadn't really thought about the fact that all of these devices might be turned into an attack vector back on what we're doing. All right, Hardik. So you need to give us some, the ray of hope here. We've got all of these threats out here. What, you know, how's the industry doing overall defending against this? What more can be done to stop these threats? What are some of the actions people and especially enterprise tech should be doing? Yeah, and so I absolutely start with, you know, just awareness. Like, you know, this is why we publish the report. This is why we have resources like NetScout Cyber Threat Horizon that provides continuous visibility into attack activity worldwide. So it absolutely just starts with that. We're actually, you know, this is not necessarily a subject of the report because it's happened in the second half of the year. But there have been a wave of high-profile attacks associated with extortion attempts, you know, over the past month. And, you know, these attacks aren't necessarily complex.  You know, I think in many ways, like, you know, these are things that we would have considered maybe run of the mill, at least for us on the research side and the people who live this kind of stuff. But, you know, they have been successful. And, you know, a number of companies right now, a number of entities worldwide right now are kind of rethinking what they're doing in particular DDoS protection. And for us, you know, our observation is that this happens every few years where every few years there's essentially a reminder that DDoS is a threat domain. DDoS typically will involve an intelligent adversary on the other side, somebody who wants to cause you harm.  But that is something that, you know, enterprises, you know, all of us, governments, service providers, those of us on the research side have to kind of stay on top of, keep reminding ourselves of those best practices and use them. And, you know, I'll say that, again, for me, the ray of hope is that we haven't seen a new vector in the first six months of the year, even as we've seen a combination of other known vectors. And so for these, you know, just from that perspective, you know, there's, you know, these attacks, we should be able to defend the game. So that's essentially where I'll leave this, you know, in terms of like, you know, the hope for the future. All right, Hardik, what final tips do you have? How do people get the report itself? And how do they keep up? Where do you point everyone to? Yes, so the report itself is going to be, is live on the 29th of September 2020. It will be available at netscout.com slash threat report. I'll also point you to another resource, Cyber Threat Horizon that gives you more continuous visibility into attack activity. And that's netscout.com slash horizon. And so these are the key resources that I leave you with.  Like, you know, as I said, you know, there hasn't been a new vector that we've uncovered in the first six months of the year. This is as opposed to seven vectors in the year 2019. So, you know, that is something that, you know, certainly like gives me hope. And, you know, for the things that are, that we've talked about in the report, you know, we know how to defend against them. So, you know, this is something that I think with action we'll be able to live through just fine. Well, Hardik, thanks so much for sharing the data, sharing the insight, pleasure catching up with you. Okay, likewise too, thank you. All right, be sure to check out thecube.net for all of the videos we have, including many of the upcoming events. I'm Stu Miniman and thank you for watching theCUBE.


This 10th year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Chris Benito, Steve Adderola and Jeffrey Zilx. Coming up on DTNS, you've heard of influencers, but the new trend is D influencers. That's a D E plus Apple might add another iPhone model and how India has fared without TikTok. It's been like two and a half years. This is the Daily Tech News for Monday, February 6th, 2023 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt from lovely Cleveland, Ohio. I'm Richard Raffalino from the New York City. I'm my as actor and I'm the show's producer, Roger Chen. Yeah, I don't accept those New York City substitutes. I as is in the real one, the like the Ohio State. Yeah, the New York State University. All right, let's get into the quick hit, shall we? Last week, Twitter announced it was shutting down free access to its API as of February 9th. That's a couple of days away as of this recording. But CEO Elon Musk said over the weekend that Twitter will provide a right only API for bots providing good content that is free. So you can only write from it. And Elon Musk has to think it's good, I guess. In other Twitter news, according to internal messages seen by the information, Twitter may charge businesses a thousand dollars per month for keeping the verified for organization's gold check mark, as well as 50 bucks per month for each affiliated business account. Twitter launched early access for verification for organizations last month. Microsoft confirmed a planned event tomorrow at its Redmond headquarters at 1 p.m. Eastern Sacha Nadella, CEO of Microsoft will share details on some exciting projects, but everyone expects he might show off integrations of chat GPT into Bing, something we've reported on definitely before. You may say, hey, that seems like it's tomorrow. Isn't there another event? Yep, Google is holding an AI related announcement one day later on February 8th. The stock image giant Getty images filed a lawsuit against stability AI, the creators of the text image generator Stable Diffusion. The suit was filed in the United States District Court in Delaware, accusing stability of brazen infringement. They use the word brazen. It's in quotes, praise and infringement of Getty images, intellectual property. They say they copied more than 12 million images without permission or compensation. Stable Diffusion does not copy images, though. It may, however, have used Getty images in the training data it uses to get Stable Diffusion to create images and Getty alleges that however that happened, some images generated by stability AI feature the Getty watermark. So I mean, if if if there was any image with the Getty watermark in the training data set, that could happen. Getty previously said it began legal proceedings against stability AI in the High Court of Justice in London. I feel like their best defense is the number of fingers are appropriate in Getty images. In a blog post on the Chromium Bug Tracker, the Chromium team announced it began an effort to port the full Chromium Blink rendering engine to iOS as of January 31st. Before you go celebrating thinking you're going to get like a full version of Chrome on iOS, Apple's App Store policies require all third party browsers to use its WebKit engine. There is no indication that they're going to be changing that. The team said the plan isn't to make this part of a shipable product, characterizing it as a prototype that we are developing as part of an open source project with the goal to understand certain aspects of performance on iOS. It could be used to demonstrate the effects of Apple's policy, restricting other browser engines, however, though, so, you know, could have some value there as well. Samsung's senior vice president of mobile business in India, Raju Pillan, said the company began assembling products across its phone portfolio in India. He also said that Samsung received double the orders for its Galaxy S23 launch within the first 24 hours in India compared to last generation with nearly 140,000. All right, Mark Gurman has a good track record. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good at knowing what Apple's going to do. And he's been putting those suppositions, insights, expectations into the power on newsletter. So it's always a good read if you want some inside Apple information. This weekend was no exception. Gurman says, don't expect an update of the Mac studio in the near future. In fact, Gurman isn't certain if Apple plans to refresh it at all. Apple reportedly plans to focus its high powered M2 chips, the new ones, on upcoming Mac Pro and will not refresh the studio to better differentiate it. In fact, if the studio does continue on, it would be more likely to get a future M series chip, like like a M3 or an M4, whatever they call the next one. Gurman also has some ideas about the next iPhone. He previously reported Apple might rebrand the top end iPhone from Pro Max to a Samsung like Ultra. Well, now Gurman reports Apple may just make a whole new flagship phone called iPhone Ultra sitting above the Pro and Pro Max models in terms of features and price.  Gurman throws out a couple of possibilities, things like faster processor, better camera, bigger screen. You may say, hey, those sound great, but they're also largely what they're already doing to differentiate the Pro from the Pro Max or just the standard iPhone. Gurman also throws out Wi-Fi 6E and a portless design as for their differentiators. Well, see how that goes. We've seen how Samsung defines an ultra, you know, superlative specs and always has like eight gigs more RAM, bleeding edge screen tech. They always try and do something cool there and an S Pen. But I guess I as you know, what could an Ultra actually mean for Apple and an iPhone? You know, I've been thinking about this because the iPhone line is so kind of cluttered right now. There's the SE, there's the previous generation, there's the regular version, there's the Pro version, there's a Pro Max version, there's a regular Max version. So it's going to go ultra. It's got to do something that's beyond the scope of whatever Pro is. So this is kind of a weird one. I'm thinking more about the watch. That thing is really ruggedized. If there was a super rugged iPhone that you spend a ton of money because you'll never have to pay for a repair, I guess, because nothing ever breaks on it. I don't know, either that or maybe some pencil compatibility. I know I'm still the weirdo who wants to use a pencil on a phone. I just don't see why it's not on the iPhone yet. But maybe that would be it. But the main thing I keep thinking about is making sure that there's better sales of the Pro because you go, well, the ultra costs a billion dollars, and this one doesn't cost as much. It's the second most expensive I'm getting the Pro. I think maybe I figured it out, maybe. So you're right, there are too many iPhone models already. It's confusing what the difference between the Pro Max and the Pro is for a lot of people other than it's one's got a bigger screen, which to me seems like really the only big difference between them. What if that's what they do? Because German doesn't rule this out in his note. What if they get rid of the Pro Max and they're actually simplifying the line to say there's the SE, there's the iPhone, then there's the Pro. If you need some, you know, higher processing power and then there's the Ultra if you want everything. And that would actually make more sense to me that like, oh, the ultra has every feature we've got. The Pro is tuned to professional users. The iPhone is is the standard one and the SE is the bargain one. If they did it that way, and I'm not saying I know that they will or won't. But if they did it that way, that would be the only way it made. It would make sense to me because it would actually somewhat simplifying instead of having two different versions of the Pro gets confusing. I just enjoy the mental angst. It will cause Samsung owners if Apple releases a phone called Ultra that has pen support, like like like worlds just collapsing at that point. I mean, if you really want to get wild with it, really the only like processor headroom they have.  But theoretically, I don't know if an M1 can fit into that envelope. It can go into a fanless design. Like you could really put some superlative performance on there. And the other thing that Apple has been doing with their pro lamp, it doesn't get as much headlines is that they've been doing some like kind of pro creator codecs and stuff like that. Right, right. They're doing raw photo, you know, other kind of raw video and that kind of stuff on there. And if you had something with, you know, it was totally maxed out, right? It comes with like a terabyte of storage by default comes with an M1 equivalent kind of processor or a laptop kind of style processor on there. You could really put in some impressive media specs on there to kind of turn it into a mini iPad mini, which then gets into a whole another confusing nomenclature. Yeah, I feel like they're not going to make it more confusing, which is why I was trying to simplify this. Well, one thing, though, that is confusing is kind of where the studio ends up. It seemed like Apple was kind of going very aggressively to the studio branding of being kind of in between, you know, the super high end expensive pro stuff and you're more consumer oriented. You know, this is just the MacBook. This is just the Mac mini. What they're doing with the studio as just kind of we're only going to update this when we need a placeholder that we can't justify a $5,000 Mac pro or a, you know, $1,000 Mac mini or something that really seems weird given how much they've invested in that branding. You know, they have the studio display, they have the Mac studio already. It seemed like that they were going down that path. It almost reminds me how they treated the Mac mini for years and just in terms of, I guess when we need something to fill in like a sales niche, if we, you know, in our Gartner quadrant we have something missing there. We'll throw the Mac studio at it until we have kind of more of a flag. Nobody's ever happy, Rich ever. Oh, you upgrade the specs every year to make us buy new stuff. Oh, you're not upgrading the specs every year. You're abandoning the product line. I don't know. I actually wonder if maybe they just do a Mac pro studio. Like the Mac pro would might replace the studio line. Now, what I'm actually is definitely been a weird entry in this level. I guess we ran into the Mac mini ultra, please don't do that. All right, let's let's move on to the the how do you survive without TikTok story in 2020 tensions on the Himalayan border of India and China flared up. That is a historical hotspot. In that incident, 20 soldiers were killed on the Indian side and India responded in June 2020 by ordering app stores to block Chinese apps. In all, they ended up blocking more than 200 Chinese apps. One of those was TikTok. Some thought the ban might be temporary. It was not last summer by dance even tried floating the idea of partnering with an Indian company to return to the country. Kind of what they're trying to do with Oracle here in the United States. That plan has not gotten anywhere yet because public sentiment doesn't seem to care. TikTok is still not allowed in India. And while there are ways to get around the rules, you can use VPNs and such. Most users just don't bother and have turned to short form video platforms like YouTube shorts or Instagram reels. As calls are increasing in the United States to block TikTok, rest of world.org thought it would be worth looking at how that block in India has worked out like an A.B. testing for for blocking TikTok in a large democracy. So Rich, what did they find? Yeah, so in 2020, right before the block, TikTok had more than 200 million Indian users, which if you're doing the math is a lot. It was by gets a second largest market next to China after the block YouTube launch shorts, which has reached 1.5 billion monthly logged in users and Instagram is reels now make up more than 20% of the time spent on Instagram. There are three new startups, Moj, Josh and Glance that have grown significant audiences, but are still far behind reels and shorts. So it seems like the winner with the block in India has been alphabet and meta. I as obviously the reasoning for the block seems to be much more drawn out in the case of it ever comes to the U.S. I mean, do you think we'll see those same results kind of play out again? I think the U.S. The big thing is what can actually translate from a TikTok audience to another audience because like when Vine disappeared and some of those Vine comedians went to YouTube, they found out very, very quickly that audience was not the same that those six second jokes weren't very funny for a longer form kind of thing. So as long as it's easier to port your audience, essentially from TikTok to another thing, that would be a key differentiator that friendship. This would be a key reason for something actually winning because YouTube shorts is still kind of awkward considering how the platform is in general reels moving from you still photography to these videos that are never ending. That seems a little bit more natural. So the question is whether will it be easy for the audience that the TikTok or had will to be able to have that audience move over to another platform because that can be really rough. That was one of the interesting things about the rest of World Article though is that the audience moved. They didn't really care who was on it. It was the creators that had a problem. Some of them have made the move more successfully than others, but it did leave a lot of those who had created a big audience on TikTok behind some of them weren't able to make that transition. So I yeah, I don't know if it even matters if the creators can move if the audience moves. It's bad for the creators and as a creator, I don't like that idea.  Yeah, I mean, people want distraction. They want the shiny and they're going to find a way to stand in line somewhere and be mildly amused at something that they can, you know, flick and have that recycled for them. Kind of no matter what the the real thing that I'm interested if this were to ever come to pass is we saw that change in ownership in Twitter was enough to kind of ramp up the the usage of mastodon in and kind of an certainly in an unprecedented way for them. It's still orders of magnitude smaller than Twitter, but has brought that into the conversation. I wonder what that would do given what we've seen. Will it just be alphabet and better because they already have that infrastructure in place for that short firm video? I want this exact same dopamine hit. Let me get that again. I'd recognize this format or if there is something, whether it's a startup, whether it's a, you know, a Fediverse project or something like that, that would crop up and kind of, you know, fill in some of that void, some of that vacuum given how much more seismic that is than just an ownership change. Yeah, well, I mean, the India test seems to indicate doesn't matter much. I don't know. I mean, your conditions will be different though. You're right. Well, I was thinking about mastodon. That's exactly why I was talking about Kevin ease for the audience or the creator for this particular thing, because when people are like moving to mastodon, like, wait, how exactly does this work? I've gotten at masto.info or whatever you've got. That's a different kind of handle, which made people confused right away. So the idea of just simply going from one platform to the other was difficult. Like I was saying earlier about the creators. That's what I was more concerned about is some of the creators in the articles were saying, yeah, they didn't have success on these other platforms. We've seen what happens when something like Microsoft tried to start their own streaming service, basically buys a streamer and that just didn't translate. So I don't, I'm kind of curious if any of these networks will go with like throw money at creators or they just realized since the audience will move like you're saying, Tom, they don't need to buy the talent or the creators. And, and despite what they may be saying in their all hands meetings or meta and alphabet, quietly saying, like, you know, it's fine. Go ahead and ban tiktok. It's not a problem. Do it. Folks, if you have a thought about something like that and you would like to send us an email, we welcome it. We love getting your emails, reading them. We read every single one of them. And if they're particularly insightful and we think the rest of the audience would benefit, we read them on the show. So email us feedback at dailytechnewshow.com. If there's one word that's synonymous with the dominance of social media over the past couple of decades, it's influencer love or hate the word. It is definitely a word that people use a lot in relation to social media and influencers are everywhere. They're in pop culture. They're in beauty products. They're in the most infinitesimal niche the Internet can invent. And tiktok has really fueled the expansion. It's not like we didn't have influencers before tiktok, but they generate endless sponsored videos, breathless recommendations, glowing reviews for products that can solve every conceivable ill. Well, the Wall Street. Oh, sorry. Wall Street general Sarah Ashley O'Brien wrote up a new reaction to this trend called D influencing also known as people gaining influence on tiktok and elsewhere by speaking critically about a product rather than maintaining the good vibes only status quo. This could entail recommending not spending in certain categories altogether or offering cheaper alternatives to tiktok sensations called dupes. It's important to keep in mind though in terms of popularity D influencing is still a rising trend. You know, the hashtag has accrued about 68 million views. That is a lot, but it pales in comparison to the more than 40 billion views for tiktok made me buy it. So, you know, I just throw the question out there is this, you know, kind of the typical negativity of the Internet or maybe a more significant backlash against the ever present spawn con. I asked, what do you think? Yeah, I saw this. I thought this was just a maturation of tiktok because tiktok starts off as this kind of goofy place to hang out then they started doing this education push, which I thought was a little strange at first. But then, you know, you've got all of these sponsored a content that comes out and then eventually there has to be some kind of critical backlash to going, hey, wait a second, I can't trust anything anybody saying because everyone saying everything is great all the time. In the Wall Street Journal article, one of the influencers said, quote, so I was just being honest and I feel like that's what people want from influencers and quote, it's like, yes, that's what everybody wants from everything. That's the point. So when I saw this, I'm like this de-influenced thing. People thinking critically, it's like, yes, we've, I think the audience wants to make sure that when they're going to spend money on stuff, it's not going to be in some kind of bizarre, you know, liquid diet thing that will make you lose 85 pounds in 22 minutes.  I know it's a wacky idea. I really do think this goes in phases and this is the most recent manifestation of the phase. If you go all the way back to radio and early TV, you know, the idea that Milton Burl came out and told you that this particular laundry soap was great meant something. People believed it. They're like, well, Uncle Milton, he says it's good. You know, he wouldn't lie to me. I trust him. And then we had the backlash of like, ah, when a spokesperson says they're just paid shills. You can't believe anything they say and the attitude most of my life had been the reaction to that, which is like, don't believe people who are paid to say things. It has been odd for me having grown up with that to see the past decade and a half or more be people going like, you know, as long as they disclose that they're paid, I can trust these people to tell me and I have some really good friends who make a living doing that. And it's a skill to be able to say like, yes, I'm getting paid to say this, but I only meant recommend the things that I believe in, even if I'm getting paid and that has rained now for a long enough time that I think it is the typical backlash moment to say, yeah, but they're always super positive and even if they mean it, they're not going to tell you the alternative because they're paid to tell you about the thing they're paid to tell you about. Let me be the alternative monger. And I just, the only thing I'm wondering is like, what is the route to sustaining that? Because obviously the route to sustaining the sponsorship message is to get paid by the sponsor. The route to maintaining the alternate alternate message is to be able to say like, I have such credibility that I build a big audience and then I monetize it some other way. Well, and speaking of that credibility, it's interesting to see how this reaction is forming because in a lot of times it's people that were doing the spawn con going like, actually I'd use this face cream and it, you know, it's okay, but it didn't do exactly what I thought or it's people that worked for brands like in retail and are giving their expertise of, you know, these are the things that were actually returned even though, you know, these are super hot on tiktok and stuff like that right now. So I almost feel like it's this industry itself kind of, you know, like I'm tired of smiling and saying this is great and everything is awesome about this. And, you know, I, there is a limit, I guess, to how much it also speaks to how easy it is to kind of get into that, you know, that monetized world on tiktok specifically where it seems like it's not just, hey, this is a very small percentage of people. This is something that if you really focused on, you could 100% do maybe not as a full-time gig, but you could work your way into that in a way that tiktok makes a lot easier than on YouTube or other platforms that have been, you know, the if thing in the past. Yeah, you can definitely build an audience, although a lot of people build that audience and then sell sponsorships. So I'm still hung up on that idea of like, all right, so how does someone, I don't know, someone who tries to be, you know, even handed about things, you know, make a killing on tiktok? I'm not sure that you can or that I can. I mean, that you can. It sounds like you just, there's going to be something called like a brand, right? And they're going to hire people that work within the brand and those reporters will report about things with different ideas. And people have to pay for that. The brand will be paid for and they'll be keeping a separate editorial wall. It's like journalism where they would separate it at some point. Wasn't there a company we both worked at at different points in our lives that did that? I don't know what you're talking about. I think I've seen it somewhere. Yeah, hard to see. Meanwhile, we have a very interesting story that was on our subreddit. Thanks to KV87 who posted this. It's from the Human Computer Integration Lab at the Computer Science Department University of Chicago. They put a slime mold into a wearable heart monitor. The reason is to test how people behaved when they actually had to take care of their heart monitor. Not Tamagotchi virtual pet, but like living thing in their heart monitor. The slime mold formed a conductive wire that was needed for the sensor to work. They weren't electrocuting the slime mold. It was just conductive. But it had to have a living slime mold connection or the heart sensor wouldn't operate to keep it working. You needed to keep the slime mold alive. That meant feeding it with some oat flakes every two days and one drop of water twice a day. If it went dormant, especially dried up because it didn't get the water, the sensor would stop working until you resuscitated it with a couple of drops of water. The lab tested the wearable on five women around the age of 30 who wore it from nine to 14 days each. So they really made it. They made a version of this. The most interesting thing about this is because as part of the study, they had to like tell the women not to feed it, you know, to see how it reacted. Right, because they were trying to see what the negative version would look like. Yeah. Yeah. And like they experienced a little resistant to that. They were like, no, I've I'm used to feeding it. I want I want this to do well. Like already it's a it's a slime mold on your wrist and there was there was a relationship to that. I find I find super fascinating. You got people who have to wear a heart sensor. Okay. So something's very stressing them out. Let's add something else. What if my center itself? I don't think this is a practical item. You're right. It's just this idea of like the guilt and like, oh, man, it's not doing well. It resuscitated. It's coming back. It's coming back and your sensor is not reading it. So you need a second sensor to see how freaked out you were when your first sensor died. So I mean, I'm I like the idea of the actual bioengineering of it, but all joking aside, that's the point wasn't to make a better heart sensor. You're right. That's a very good point. It really was to see like how people behaved when there was a living thing inside their heart sensor and I'm with rich. I think this was really interesting to see people felt bad when they were forced as part of the study to not give water to a slime bolt, which I'm guessing doesn't have a lot of self awareness or self worth. It's gelatinous cube. I mean, but it's slime mold to slime mold no matter how much it's on your wrist. Call it living and suddenly. Yeah, people get attached. They got attached to Tamagotchi's. Yeah, I can't imagine they wouldn't get attached to a slime mold. All right, let's check out the mailbag. All right. Well, Christopher wrote in with some some more thoughts on municipal fiber. He says, I started muni networks.org 12 years ago and so he covers the space a lot on the show. Longmont was called out for voting no on the opt-in in 2009. They voted yes in 2011 and built the muni fiber network that PC Mag just gave the best ISP for gaming award to always get to hear stories from people on the ground thinking about community networks. Thanks. Thanks, Christopher Mitchell is good to hear from you, man. And and yes, good, good to know that Longmont we Shannon did say what the heck's going on Longmont. They just needed a couple more years to vote again and and they've built a very nice ISP so good to know very good. All right, I as actor, thank you so much for being with us. If you are doing anything out there now's a chance to tell folks what it is. What are you doing these days? I'm doing a show called this old nerd. You can see it on this old nerd dot com.

Hey guys, welcome to Archland. So we have here YGG Why I'm choosing YGG over Zelvinoth here is actually just a toss-up at this point. I I'm going to get YGG because more of need Rather than anything else I think both of them are good and can support your roster depending on what make-up Do you have for your current roster? But at this point? I'm not reason I'm not using Assassin's much and they're very hard to use in terms of autoplay. So I'm going with YGG Then probably if I have you know extra summons Before the 28 days are you know are up probably I'd go with Zelvinoth for the remaining of my tokens Again guys, there are I this is a there is a 10 free pull You can actually use it in any banner, but definitely use it here because you'll need it For pulling because 90 is the pity and for pity you're not really assured YGG anyway, so again, this is 10 any this is going to be for five consecutive days So that's free 50 pulls, but we'll try to get YGG now with what I have and Probably some if I don't get her now So we'll see if if if I'm done with her I'm gonna do a another summon session for Zelvinoth if I do have something extra So without further ado, let's do the 10 free right now Okay, so this is 10 free animation is so fast. Let's reduce the animation here. I Actually had to configure the settings quite a bit So let's do settings Animation is too fast. So game speed assisted animation speed This battle Screen settings Let's not tinker with that Let's go back Okay, so we have 10 so far. There's no counter yet for pulls We where are we so I need 20 to get those so 10 so next 10 here So just making sure it's her banner because last time I made a mistake Okay, so Another dud Hopefully can get her Within the next few Let's move out. Okay, so we have two free pulls for This is a nice pity. This is a nice additional, you know additional reward system I'm liking this. So this is for 30 guys 30 pulls Is this her ready No, definitely not so another dud So we have a couple more. I think we have 60 pulls in this video Hopefully Let's let's do this more slowly guys. Let's do this more slowly No, none. No blues in that pull So again only one Okay, we have another freebie there. So this is at 30. So I think I have 30 more pulls That's 40, right? So if I have 30 more pulls, oh SSR SSR We have an SSR in the building one Hopefully one more one more one more SSR, please one more one more one more One more SSR Oh my god, it's Clarice I'm gonna cry So then 50 pulls and nothing yet Why did it have to be Clarice I didn't need another copy over.  So I'm restarting again to zero. So let's go after these none So back to zero we have 10. Oh boy. This is gonna hurt This is 20 none These were 20 pulls Okay So I think I'll have to be back at this point Okay guys, so we are back. We have I think 30 more pulls for this video. We have had 20 so we've Reach one pity. No, no, I've I've had one SSR Um, and I think you saw who it is. So 30 more pulls. This is for 30 Oh boy Hopefully I get her within the next few Because this video is going to be that expensive Okay, so that 30 pulls Were up for the next This is for 40 for the second SSR None And this is the last one. I think So this is this is for 50 pulls For your second SSR Very bad Very bad There you go Anyway guys, I didn't get her so I got Clarice Um at this point bad luck. I guess so I have 50 In my pity, uh, what do you call this pity pull? So Why gg reason let's list this down. So 50 pulls need 40 more pulls. So we'll see within The next few days if I Do get her I'll probably do a build guide for her But at this point, I'm really sorry my luck just ran out. So thank you very much guys for staying this far Take care. Stay safe. This is the warden and I'm out of here


The design we all are familiar with the design right now. I think after five days But there's a lot behind it and in this talk crystal Saunders will tell us everything behind to the design Give it up for crystal. Oh, hi all welcome Welcome at the last day of this wonderful festival Everything looks very nice in this festival and that's because we had a really great design We had a something very large to build up to like the awesome 2017 design was really Generative and we built on this and we got this nice jewel tone design and I'm gonna talk a bit more about the ideas behind it So first a small thing about me. I'm bookworm also known as crystal Saunders I have two main things people need to know about me. I love purple and I love stories and There are some stories about the design that I want to tell with you right now So that I didn't make the design. I've been part of the team I've been trying to coordinate things, but there are two people who are really need to be a shout out for this This is bleep track and Nicolette bleep track and Nicolette. Yes somewhere around The 2019 we started to talk about having a design I got this two wonderful woman together and did a brainstorming session and that was the first part We did for this design afterwards we Worked on it. There are a lot of people we have to thank for Stitches to one who made the generator mostly I did some parts and there are a lot of people who did small things. I Can't shout out to all of them, but I want to thank them so When we look at the 2017 design, it was the six bars We had this nice mustardy colors and everybody could make at their own design their own flag for their village for their Solution for their own project. They could make everything and this for a lot of people was fun And we wanted to make this to the next level But we also wanted to make it colorful and we want to make it generative and work with black and dark white backgrounds these are Make it a bit harder. So we left away with the entire completely Random design and we went to a fixed colors But one of the other wishes we had was to make it more fit in with the rest of the team With the rest of the field with the rest of the event and so we looked at the call for participation Participation and there was there a motto that spoke to us The the motto was the future will eventually be consistent, but what kind of consistency it will have And we think we can do something with this Eventually consistent that means that in the end it will be one coherent Thing and we wanted to have something like that in design So we brainstormed a bit more and we've been taught about consistent fitting things reflections Yeah, we can do something with that Some other ideas we had was we wanted to have a colorful Bright color palette because we thought you know It might be coming a bit depressive here with all the things that happened in 2021 so we wanted to have a colorful design and what we had We checked a lot and we come out of to this jewel tone design. You see right here It's a color palette with purples with greens with yellow and with a pink and as you can see it works great on a field It looks very colorful. I'm happy with it We also wanted to do something with reflections With a bit of physics with all those kind of things and what we had is one of the things we found this beautiful butterfly We'll have clear wings and if you Shine some light through them. It will shimmer a bit It will refract a bit and we went on on that and what we ended up with what's a kaleidoscope? So what we did we made a kaleidoscope and the kaleidoscope Means that you have one base image and a lot of reflections on it and every reflection might be a bit different But the end is consistent and that's why we have the design a kaleidoscope design Well, some practical things about kaleidoscopes. They're full of triangles That also means that it's full of hexagons and hexagons are after all know the best of guns So we have a design full of hexagons. That's nice We can do a lot of that and we also see those nice PCB traces and Those PCB traces are randomly generated based on the input string So it's consistent with the string, but every string will get a shahesh because you know We're part of the shah 2017 design. We're evolving from that So we're using the same shahesh and we use that as the seed for the random generator that makes this traces This is bleep tracks work and it's awesome. It's made in paper GS And then it's put into a few interface that is really complicated And I'm really happy with people helped us out with that because it's working great for most parts But I've seen most of people using it so it should have a great usability What we also use is those shahesh We also used to generate the main color for the text we used it for the main color of the triangles and All of this is done in paper GS in your browser and that means that for every string there is every time the same output So that's cool. We also put some other options from it So if you go to design dot mch 2020 dot com dot org You're gonna get this design generator and you can change some parameters You can make a monogram version. You can use standard colors. And if you want to go really really Funky we also have some options like blend modes and Opacity changes, but also you want stars at them. You want emoji? Fine. We have a field for that So we wanted to have something very very versatile and I think yes. Yes, we succeeded in that Thank you but But this event is called may contain hackers. So what this design was missing was the hacker some strings and not all of them around 42% of them has a hacker in them We use this very nice icon. It's a restart icon from the known project. They have They have icons that are useful. They have a lot of set. It's really great and there is a random chance based on the input string that you have this hacker in your design and that's cool and But it also brings up the question. What is a hacker and the thing is There's no protected title for this. Everybody can count on my hacker and the thing is there are around more 32 hackers on 30 3200 hackers on this field and I'm pretty sure there are more than 3200 Definitions of hackers on this field right now But the thing is they all mirror their a set of ideals and an it ethical base So we're all reflections of the same core Ethics and that's what one of things that unites us and this This ethical base. Let's call them a hacker ethic is something. That's all Something that's defined a long time ago Somewhere in the 80s Stephen Levy wrote a book in his book. He defined the hacker ethics And this is a product from its era So what he said is that the computer should have acts so everybody should have access to computers and information should be free distrust authority but promote the decentralization and we should judge each other based on your merits and not on your On your background But like the hacker ethics, this is something from that era we built on it sometimes we change it We all reflect on it. It's a kaleidoscope You reflect everything and what we use right now is something that reflects from this For the design, however, there is like one main thing in this Had hacker ethics that we really take to our heart and it is you can create art and beauty with computers We did this in a very beautiful design, but keep in mind you can do this in different way every piece of code can be beautiful Every piece of hardware can give beautiful results. We all can do this and this is something nice This is something you can really learn on hacker events We all make beautiful things and if you share them we can all enjoy them so Back to design. What do we have? We have a triangular grid which is an infinity reflecting grid We have some area where some text can be and we have a generator available The generator may or may not contain a hacker and we have five base colors with PCB traces and a nice font And it's made in people to paper GS and bootstrap few but this was somewhere and of 2000 220 and then this happened Covid mch 28 where this divine floor was made was cancelled.  You make some t-shirts So we made a design for the meh. It didn't happen t-shirt and Some people may laugh right now because there is some history here The Dutch hacker camps each time have a different name and before we went for may contain hackers But we maybe should have think a bit more because the may was very uncertain But you know, we are all here. So that's great. But before we had that name. This was the preserve proposal So we have meh metal car hacking and we could put that on the t-shirt. So this name did come back We're here further and right now we are at mch 2022 for a few more hours We are on this great festival and we have a lot of things on the field that look really really great For example, we have the gate and the main gate looks beautiful It's great. It is triangles. It has some reflective CDs. So it is everything that I could have wanted with design Thank you. Thank you very much. Daco team. It looks awesome And so we did this on a lot of things and to come back to this design where we have where we all are Reflections of the same attacks with our own flavor Resume and who's part of the Daco team did a really really great job. We've seen all the flags around the site They are not one try one hexagon from the generator But there are all different hexagon and every hexagon has its own meaning if you look right here We have some based on sharing. We have some based for angels. Thank you angels. We have some for nerds We have a party. We have hacker in there. We have makers. We have programming Like most of the things that the finest are representative in this flag So I'm really happy we could have this and this is part what makes this event beautiful We also put the design on the booklet and I have to make a small either piece of humble pie We take the booklet we take a picture from Sebastian Humback Which was great. It's a really lovely picture. We used it everywhere. We used attribution everywhere But it went away in the booklet. Therefore, there's this shout out. Thank you a lot Thank you for not making a problem of this Okay, and if you look around the site for the last few days you've seen a lot of t-shirts appearing We have this t-shirt Where the generator is mostly bleed tracks design the t-shirt to who these at the Headwear are mostly Nicolette's design What you see here is the butterfly we have in the beginning with the reflective wings We have a light beam coming up to the to the butterfly and spreading apart in all the colors that we have as mch There are a few more things I want to highlight in this design. You can see there are some Yeah, so we call them some formulas and some Technical drawings in there what you see is a drawing and the formulas for how light is reflected in a prism And what you also see is how a kaleidoscope is working These things we wanted to put on the hoodie so everybody can see yes There is a physical basis and everything behaves like rules, but we make our own flair of it The other thing is that we have this nice Hexagon design and we wanted to utilize it somewhere on the shirt And what we have right now is that one sleeve of the hoodie and one of the t-shirt is Completely in this fabric based on this design and because it's purple. It's blends in a tiny bit But it's very visible. It was very fun to walk around last night and see everybody with his hoodies and it's it looked beautiful Thank you all for wearing them. The model of this t-shirt is a recline t-shirt So if somebody else want to make something like this a recline has the sleeve in a separate way And that way you can make this nice seamless designs But apart from the hoodie apart from the t-shirt and apart from the flags and all the other nice things that were on the side I've seen other people they making use of this design. We put this on a lot of places we have like Mirrors and kaleidoscope the kind of things on the field. We had the prisms with the day Decroic foil which reflects the light in a different way. It was awesome We had a lot of wristbands in a lot of colors and We see that some colors were more popular than others But well they were there and they helped to make the design more comfortable and then we like the How do you call them? The the name tags that were everywhere Do we we had a printer at heaven who could make them which mean that we have them We also had for a lot of things for example for cars We had like a five papers with all area access for the vehicles that had that for a limited time They were stolen so right now. We don't have any anymore So you know if you have one return would be nice But that means we didn't have them but people saw them more people wanted to have them So what our friends at the pocket? They also had a color printer and they've printed out some more Credit card sized cards with all area access on it and you see that's wearing people around So if you want to have an all area access, these are the people you have to talk about Lastly, I want to thank you all for being here. It was a really fun event. It was really colorful And I want to thank you all for bringing your own flavor of hacker to make this kaleidoscope of an event really beautiful Thank you all for being there bringing your own story. I enjoyed a lot and The last thing I want to bring back is the team from the call for participation The future will eventually be consistent and it's up to us at all to make sure what kind of consistency we have Please bring your own. I hope really you are inspired with this camp And you bring back your own inspiration from this camp to make the world to better a more beautiful or my safer place Thank you all and have a good years Thank you very much for this this insight in the design. It's really cool Does anyone have any questions about this if you have you can walk up to the microphone in the middle and you can ask the question Hi, I missed out on that and I saw on the wiki that there was at least an exchange, but do you think there is a chance that more will be made? Right now. There are no plans to make an extra merge run. We also saw it was very popular So we will take it in consideration But making merge this year was interesting This design is very complex and we have to see it's not viable to do this for a small run So we really have to see But we will keep you updated if we do thank you Right was that the only question? Then I'd like everyone to make some noise for crystal


Hi, my name is Bradley Miksowski. I learned how to edit through Premiere, no, Premiere Pro. And I also learned how to set up lights. And I also learned how to set up black magic studio cameras. My favorite piece of equipment is this one is a bit tricky because I like and love cameras. I like sometimes because I capture a lot of photos, videos and recordings. I like these cameras because you can recreate moments with feminine clients. The first time I moved to Logman, actually, I didn't know this existed until this year, actually. My favorite part of Logman Public Media are really new people and going through different opinions I never knew about.

Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory, Adventures in Food. Our channel is all about the food. We do taste test, recipes, grocery hauls and what's for dinner. And I am here today with a quick haul from the 99 cents only store. I picked up just a few things but I wanted to share it with you guys because I got some really good deals. I spent a total of $21.83. If you're not familiar with the 99 cents only store, most things there are 99 cents. But there are some products that they offer that are more than that. But everything that I picked up today was only 99 cents so I will jump right in. So the first thing that I picked up and I thought was a really great deal was this Gerber oatmeal and it is a first foods product and it was only 99 cents. Now Harrison can't eat this right now but in a couple of months he will be able to. I did look this up to see how much it would be at Walmart and it was $398 at Walmart. It doesn't expire until September. So I thought it was a great deal and I had to jump on it.  And this San Pellegrino was also a great deal. It is the black currant and pomegranate flavor. I did look it up at Walmart to see how much it retails for. And at Walmart it retails for I think it is $498. So for a buck that's a great deal. And you get six 11.15 ounce cans in each box. And then I also saw the Perrier as well. And you get four little cans in each box. And these are strawberry and kiwi flavor. And this is actually a juice drink. So it's not a sparkling beverage. So I was excited to try that out and like I said I got two. I got two packages of these smoked sausage links. We haven't tried them before but it was too good of a deal to pass up. So I grabbed two and I'm just going to throw these in our freezer. I really like S&W stewed tomatoes and I use them for a lot of different things. I got two cans and these are sliced Roman tomatoes with basil and oregano. And then we needed some refried beans for a Mexican food one night. So I need a refried beans. And then this was a really great deal as well. Classico organic pizza sauce. When the weather gets a little bit warmer Howard and I we've done non-pizza on the grill. So I didn't have any pizza sauce so I needed some for that. And then I needed some odd juice for my Mississippi pot roast that I make for our what's for dinner videos which come out on Tuesdays. And then this was a really good deal on the Philadelphia cream cheese. A third less fat. I got two boxes. I have some cheesecake mixes that I need to use up. You guys know that I'm still working on our pantry challenge or you may not know. I'm working on our pantry freezer and pantry freezer and fridge challenge trying to use step up. So I have some like cheesecake mixes and other things that call for cream cheese. So that's why I grabbed that. And then I saw this flavor of spreadable cream cheese that I'd never heard of before. And this is honey pecan and it sounded really good. So grab that. We plan on having taco salads some point soon. And so I just decided to grab some lettuce. And then I'm really excited to try this. This is Hershey's caramel whipped cream. So grab that and it sounds really good. It doesn't expire until the end of March. So I love caramel and I love whipped cream. So that was right at my alley.  And you know this is way more expensive than the store. It has a blend of Monterey Jack sharp white cheddar, sharp cheddar and mild cheddar with a salsa verde seasoning. And again 99 cents you can't beat it. So I grabbed one too. I've got four packages of the salsa verde cheese. So I'm going to use some now and then the rest of them going to stick in my freezer. So anyway this is it. Just a few items. Like I said we are still working on our pantry freezer and fridge challenge. And so I didn't want to go crazy buying groceries. But this you know these stills are really too good to pass up. So I wanted to jump on them. And like I said it's just a few things. But I still wanted to show you in case you wanted to head over to your 99 cents store. See if they have some of this stuff. Really appreciate you guys watching. Hope you guys enjoyed it. If you did please make sure to give us a thumbs up. And if you haven't subscribed to our channel I certainly hope that you'll do so. See you guys next time.
