Your pick in oh I left I left a space for it, but if you could put the link and stuff and such Well, it was sent to my email today.  Yeah, I'm not on camera. So it doesn't count That right? Is that how that works? It's that that's the hole in the sheet of podcasting. That's the ash And now And now the video is is on a delay. I'm gonna drop out drop out and come back real quick. Yeah, no worries Yeah, and Mr. Rounds of ill. Yeah, do you have any questions? I'm just reading over right now. Okay. Very good. Mr. Chang. Do you still have control? Yes, I will bow it at two Just reminder That will shut my audio What what I guys drop out good. Thanks Justin Bye Okay, how you doing Patrick voting my app, but it's working.  All right as long as it's working for now Everyone everyone Together need anything true data not jibe with comms course Yes, tune Tune has a different has a different bit of data. Is that what you're asking? Yeah. Yeah That looks very different though Yeah, well, it's one of the things we can talk about And Patrick I'm not probably gonna I'll start by introducing some of these numbers not all of them And then I'll say but and so you had this question and then you kind of explain the The bit does that work? Sure. Yeah, I Will wing it as I always do You're the best around Nothing's ever gonna bring you down All right, let's get going you guys ready Here we go Daily Tech news show is powered by its audience not outside organizations to find out more head to Daily Tech news show dot com slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday September 20th 2016. I'm Tom Merritt joining me today as he does most Tuesdays Mr. Patrick Beja is back still in Paris, France. We learned in the pre-show that you are a Parisian Not a Parisian I You know, I'm trying to give the word a little bit more of a bad-ass Yeah, work out name. I don't know if it's yeah, but I'm trying it out We'll see what happens if it works out in this audience will expand it worldwide Basically, we're doing the AB testing and you're okay. Yes. Let us know what you think feedback at Daily Tech news show dot com Also joining us because Patrick has some questions about apps are apps still exciting Are they fun has the bloom gone off the app rose and so we decided to ask our friend Brent rounds of bill Who is also the proprietor of the mission pick app on the show? How's it going Brett? Great. Have you guys been spent at dog's age? Yeah, it has been Thanks for taking the time today if you're watching the video You may recognize that Brett is over at Justin Robert Young's set. So thanks to Justin for lending that as well. Yeah We are going to get to that app conversation First I want to tell you Sandisk showed off a prototype for a one terabyte SD card Not gonna be able to buy it anytime soon, but a terabyte SD card is in your future Now here are some more top stories Apple made Mac OS Sierra available for general download Tuesday So if you didn't already get the beta you can now officially get the official release and it officially was taking me like eight hours to download it So it's it's getting hammered right at the moment big edition is Siri for the desktop Available as an app for the dock and shown up in the menu bar. Also Mac OS Sierra lets you sync your desktop and documents folders with iCloud Optimize some storage it uses iCloud for that as well Puts Apple pay in Safari so you can use it on the web Gives you the option for tabs and more apps picture-in-picture in Safari real-time collaboration and iWork apps You can also unlock your OS 10 machine with Apple watch You can use that watch as a second factor authentication with OS 10 or I'm sorry Mac OS And those of you frustrated by the lack of stickers and iMessage on the desktop will be frustrated less You can only view them though You cannot send the stickers, but at least they won't show up as a separate attachment They'll actually stick to the thing they were meant to stick to I a lot of people are viewing this as sort of a very mundane Operating system update Patrick. What do you think? I really enjoyed ios 10 more than I thought I would so I'm willing to be surprised by Sierra Of course, I'm going to be doing the dance of am I going to install it and risk all my things getting broken So I don't know when I'm going to do it. But I mean Siri is the splashy feature That makes a lot of noise literally I think the bigger one is uh apple pay on the web though that gives a lot of people Access to other people's wallets in a very convenient manner. I believe Was it wired or ars Technica that made an article saying this is the big one and it's uh It's the most important update and I I agree with them just not needing to Enter all of your credit card information to pay for something Is significant I think and who knows if we ever get new max they might have uh fingerprint sensors on them That's been one of the rumors that's been kicking around out there That would feed into that as well. Uh, I'm sure I will play around with Siri But my guess is I won't use it a whole lot more than I already use it on ios So I I kind of feel like you're right that that's a splashy part of this announcement But the jury's still out on how many people are going to use it and how often how integral that will be on the desktop Brett do you use uh os 10 or mac os now? I do. Yeah, I feel like the most interesting part of this story Is that apple is finally retiring the term osx There's not a lot of software companies out there that will claim to be on the same version of software for 12 years now That's yeah, and and and and they're not moving to You know 11 they're not they're just yeah, and it's a very apple move to say You know what we're just going to have names because version numbers really don't mean anything Windows just skipped nine because they just thought it sounded better to have windows 10 And so at that at that same time you see apple just pulling away 10 like 10 doesn't matter 10's been devalued now So we're just not going to use it anymore We don't want one It seems likely as well that windows is going to stay on 10 for a good long while so Yeah, my my guess is what windows does is is a similar thing where they just eventually retire the number And it's just windows. Uh, what do they use though? What do they use? And xp right like they went away from numbers came back skipped one the number is almost completely meaningless at this point Yeah, uh, there were Oh, go ahead. Patrick. Sorry. There were using, uh, animal names for the uh, code names for the versions of windows I think they should do that.  That's kind of cool That's like jaguar and they would just be accused of ripping off apple at that point though, wouldn't they? Yeah, maybe so okay choose something else way I know they could choose the names of other os's That would be really So windows os warp For example os to warp os next windows demian Yeah, I I don't know that they need names anymore Honestly, I guess they need names for the for the major update like the anniversary update that we're getting But I have a feeling that with with mac os We're just going to get a new update every year and they're going to call it something based on a national park apparently and uh For for windows, we'll just be getting major updates But we won't getting be getting boxed new versions of windows for a long time Sierra is actually a national force not a national park. Fair enough. Thank you for that clarification Yeah, we might get the year, uh possibly but I think big jim in the chat room has it Used dinosaur names windows velociraptor That is a good way to plot a kiss. Yeah Oh sierra. Yeah sierra was was torn apart by velociraptors The only way to better guarantee A high usage from like 80s and 90s kids is by licensing with hasbro and name them after transformers Oh my god I think it tells you everything you need to know about mac os sierra that that we sort of said Hey, these are neat features and then immediately moved on to coming up with new names All right, so let's move on uh with this other piece of news google sent out invitation stations pacific october 4th At a girardelli square in san francisco a teaser video for the event shows the google search box Stretched into a smartphone shaped rectangle. The event will be live streamed on youtube Rumors have expected two new phones the daydream vr device a 4k chromecast and an amazon echo competitor to possibly be announced android police has some leaked pictures of what they say are the new 5 inch and 5.5 inches Uh pixel phones and I believe there was a rumor for a pixel tablet as well. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're right It's guaranteed almost that we are going to get a phone I actually saw this teaser ad on television Yesterday evening my wife was watching live television on mbc and they played this ad So so that's the first time i've seen an announcement tease In primetime television and it was it was this what you're talking about where they just show a phone size device So they are definitely going to introduce a phone It sounds like it's going to be under the pixel brand and this will be a more google-owned Device than the nexus's were which were always sort of billed as google authorized, but built by somebody else We're supposedly they're going to have the g logo on them instead of a instead of a brand name like pixel And I I don't know. I mean you're guy. What do you guys guess? What else will we see? Will it just be the two phones or do you think we'll get this cavalcade of hardware? Maybe they're just trolling us and they're not going to announce a phone and they're going to be like what phone? Why no i don't think so no really you think they would do that Okay, no, of course. It's gotta be it's gonna be at least one phone I I didn't watch the video I only listened to the audio and I thought for sure we were going to get uh the google update to guardians of the galaxy volume Two right because they play that song from the opening. I got super excited about it and then clicked over and was like Oh, it's a phone. All right. Well, that's good No, look legitimately the thing i'm most excited about is uh google's foray into uh like the connected home devices Like amazon echo if they come out with something like that. I love my amazon echo I would happily buy a google one to keep alexa company. I feel like she deserves it And they would just talk to each other in chat. Yeah, yeah The gossip, you know the day these things start happening. It will be fantastic Yeah, I mean I already tried to get cortana to talk to alexa and they just won't carry on a conversation Maybe google will be nicer. My wife will use cortana. She loves cortana thinks cortana is really nice hates alexa Really? Yeah, we'll not we'll not use the amazon echo I don't like how dumb alexa is if you ask her like trivia or something But I do appreciate how well she does the things she specifically made to do Uh, we asked Cortana what we should have for dinner and cortana said well, do you want to turn the oven on or not? Oh, you don't well, how about a salad? You could start with some lettuce. Maybe some beans It was very helpful. We asked alexa and she said I don't really have an answer to that Also, you just turned on justin's echo Sorry, I probably turned on a lot of people's by the way, she didn't understand the question Yeah, I'm sure she she did it apologies to everyone Uh, yeah, I I I am excited to get back to the to the main announcement I am excited about pixel phones because I have a pixel c thanks to a listener in the audience that I love Now the pixel c I think was Because they made a big deal about the keyboard and the fact that now with android marshmallow You can do two things on it once and they they sort of build it as a laptop replacement Which I don't think it is and I don't use it for that But it is in every way as good of a tablet as an ipad Uh, which is the first time I can really say that about an android tablet The nexus 7 was nice, but mostly because of the form factor for me Whereas the pixel c is great. So if they can bring that to phones I think we could be looking at some really solid Smartphone competitors in a world where a new smartphone is not nearly as exciting as it used to be right It definitely seems like they might be going from everything we've heard than the rumors They're going what is you know being called the apple model, which is they're getting the design and Getting someone else to build it obviously they don't have the facilities But it seems that like it will be a google fully google branded Thing and that is definitely something to be excited about It will be a pure android experience of some kind even more so than the nexus devices I Interesting to see if that it plays into one of our later stories about their antitrust issue Yeah, and and and it does uh u.s. Department of Transportation released its federal automated vehicles policy outlining 15 safety Assessment objectives that manager manufacturers must meet guidelines cover details on not only how the cars function But how they record data what happens when they crash how they protect themselves against hacking and Quote how vehicles are programmed to address conflict dilemmas on the road The department plans on publishing the responses they receive in an annual report And the department is also seeking pre-market approval of autonomous cars They don't have pre-market approval of most cars right now and post-market regulation of over-the-air software updates The policy also suggests a model for state regulations on how to inspect and license Self-driving cars as well as law enforcement and insurance considerations That's something that needed because right now the states vary pretty widely in how they regulate these So there's a movement to want to kind of standardize that to make them very similar states can determine their own variations But they want to keep them pretty close public can comment for the next 60 days and the department will update the guidelines annually So I know that you know, I'm a european and so I I am obviously a lover of big government And uh many listeners will think that I'm crazy, but I think this is probably a good thing We're in a time where the uh automated vehicles are Kind of all over the place and we do need some rules not just to make sure that You know, no one is doing something silly, which certainly, you know, we have a few big actors right now, which are very Careful about what they're doing. It might not last but also to give a little bit of certainty in the industry Which I believe can also Help in its development So and and the way they're doing it with, you know comments as as many institutions have done in the past and an annual Revision of the guidelines seems to be the the way to do it. Hopefully we won't need that for the next 50 years But I think for the next few years it's positive Well, they have similar regulations for cars with humans in them One of the big needs for this is all of the regulations assume a human is at the wheel And so there really isn't a good way to apply those rules to something that doesn't have the human at the wheel Because the current regulations say if there's not a human at the wheel the car better be parked and off And and so we need to revise that and this to me is the first step in saying, okay Here's what we think the rules should be let's we've we've definitely met with stakeholders to develop this But let's get some public comment on it as well Let's get some transparency from the companies so that we can all see what's happening in this field As it rolls out. I compare this to what the FAA did with quad copters and UAVs And it feels and I know that it's unfair. These are apples and oranges But this feels like it is ahead of the game. We don't have But a few autonomous cars on the road right now. So this is the right time to say, all right Let's make it. Let's make a stab at regulations See how they fit as we go along rather than trying to put the Horse back in the barn later after the thunderstorm came and let the horse out who's mad because there are self-driving cars I think the interesting take on this is that uh, I don't disagree with it being a great idea But I think the problem with uh government often is not Whether or not they have good ideas, but whether or not they have good execution And this is a situation where there are a very limited number of people who are well versed in Autonomous cars and and the technology involved and now the government has to fight For those people if they want to have that same knowledge They're going to be going up against google and apple budgets to try and keep people in house Now that's a really good point. Uh, or at least figure out how to leverage that expertise as even that karnagy melin can attest People in the academic world who are usually borrowed by government for that sort of thing are increasingly being hired away into the private sector, right? All right, the riaa reports music sales in the first half of 2016 rose 8.1 to 3.4 billion dollars Streaming drove most of the growth rising 57 to 1 point 1.6 billion dollars accounting for half Of the industry sales paid subscriptions accounted for 1.01 billion of that number Physical sales tumbled 14 percent while downloads also shrank The music industry is on pace to experience two consecutive years of growth for the first time since 1998 and 1999 So get ready for the spin folks of how this doesn't mean the music industry has recovered yet Which is part truth. It hasn't actually recovered We still got to make it through the second half of this year And it's still just two years of minimal growth. We're not back to the peak yet But all of this Sturm and drong about streaming music services It has been my opinion for years that it was all because the scale wasn't there yet And the scale is starting to get there and it's starting to real really generate real money for the music industry I mean, definitely. We're not back where we were before But you're right the the biggest element of this is the streaming aspect and 8.1 percent in half a year that is Significant growth. I mean, it's going to be hard to spin it into Things aren't going well. They're not as good as they used to be but that growth is not insignificant piracy There's still piracy Also, we're they're making billions of dollars and we're just growing 8 percent billions and piracy. Also, did I mention piracy? Oh, do you write speeches for the ri? Yes, that was taken from a speech. I've been working on for them You know, it's funny. I've never seen all these stats laid out in a graph so beautifully before and it really makes it look like This shrinking of the music industry is actually more of a blip than anything else So it was it was less that it shrunk and more that they got really lucky in the early 90s Yeah, well, I mean iTunes is often blamed for you know stealing all all of the attention But but they also were able to prop up the music industry when piracy was a much bigger threat than it is now And and in this Bloomberg article, by the way They point out that the general one-year subscription to a streaming service that more and more people are using Not just the early adopters is around 120 dollars And that is more than the average consumer spent on CDs in a year even at the peak of the music industry So it is a very positive outlook for the ri. I think yeah to to for the people who aren't seeing the graph The the decline was from the mid 2000s to late 2000s, maybe 2008 2009 since 2010 it's been roughly stable. I mean A little bit down but really more more or less stable and it's about at the levels of 1990 So, you know, it's not like music didn't exist before 1990 And that's where we've been after that horrible horrible horrendous tumble from the, you know Terrible age of the internet that destroyed the industry. So and what you've put into perspective. Yeah. Yeah. No, absolutely What you want to see as an industry is that that line continues to grow from the 90s up And so the fact that we've only gotten back to the 90s They look at and say yeah, but we we should be much farther if if things had going well We should never have declined and we should have we should be much farther ahead plus inflation, etc So yeah, of course, I you know, the point is it's a different thing saying, you know, business hasn't kept growing which is indisputable and Musicians are going to have to, you know Live in the street and can't make any money because of piracy. Absolutely when, you know, music is dying is basically the message we've been sold when this is what was happening the level of of industry size That we had in the 90s and, you know, bigger than everything until the 90s So that was the song they were singing Twilio provides software that lets developers build voice video or text messaging feature into apps We've talked about it before on dts here and there. It's an enterprise level thing. So what's app uses it uber uses it air bmb Uses it twilio has acquired the team that was mainly behind the corento open source project in madrid They also have some proprietary tech that they built for a group video conferencing product that did file transfer Desktop sharing and chat without the need of a plug-in So twilio ceo jeff lawson said this team will be the basis of all of our next generation cloud-based media services Twilio plans to develop augmented reality and facial recognition Video applications even if you don't know twilio You likely have used it at some point in someone else's app And the idea that they are going to continue to forge ahead and provide augmented reality Facial recognition object recognition means that in in these chat apps and these customer service apps that you use You're going to see that kind of machine intelligence Popping up on par with the sort of thing that you're expecting out of google assistant or siri or etc Not to say about that My comment would be twilio is a funny name that is so typical of we There are no names left You know a few years ago that we saw a lot of those Actually really exciting from a developer perspective Like we we've seen this trend towards libraries and sdks. They're really driving down the costs for development. We um I mean obviously we're building stuff that took 20 or 30 people to build like even eight years ago And and the fact that there are more of these coming out is really exciting. I think Augmented reality is kind of a story hook more than a feature But the messaging stuff any libraries that you can give to developers for a reduced rate because someone else built it is awesome I could I could see where mission pick might take advantage of some kind of image recognition There's all kinds of ways that you could use that if it was affordable and easy to implement Yeah, absolutely even the messaging that that's all very exciting stuff as far as i'm concerned I can't wait to take a look at it You know what guys I would really have appreciated if you didn't have an insightful insightful comment after The name thanks Now you can I mean not to disparage you magic twillio. It's a really silly name Thank you. Thank you. That's what I was looking for. Let's talk about what the european commission is up to to get back at us The european commission Well, it said on tuesday that it would give google more time to respond to charges that it abused its dominant position In mobile operating systems regarding bundling of google services on android google has until october 7th This is the third deadline extension google had separate has separate deadlines for other charges october 13th is the deadline to respond to accusations of favoring its own shipping services in search And october 5th for blocking competitors in search advertising They really are after google You know funny story to me It's it's the kind of thing we're like yes antitrust probably has its place But this is arguably the one situation where you want them to do what they're trying to do like what they're saying is We don't want you to force these carriers to use best-in-class search We want them to be able to force Verizon search onto the users or something Well and I mean it what gets me is that Google says you can use android without our apps We only put these Restrictions in if you want to use our apps and what the eu is saying is yes But your apps are so dominant in the marketplace. That's like not offering a choice It's you know, I think the exact issue is that The is the bundling of all of the google services, which means the app store cannot be used if you don't also have the other google services meaning, you know dmail all of those And there are issues where the Monopoly position does apply especially with google especially in europe this one I just don't understand really what you you want google to enable the use of the google app store Without bundling of the other on the other apps That doesn't compute if you don't want you know android as you were saying brett is available for everyone And you can use that operating system with your own service. It's the most open one There is you can really do whatever you want with it. You can even fork it to make it completely different it There are moments where You know, I was joking that I'm european and so blah blah blah are moments when uh things that The european commission and the european union do That make me want to pull my hair out and this is one of them It seems like one of those things where they're just really frustrated that there isn't a european company that does it as well as google does Well, and and they're even more successful google search is more dominant in europe than other parts of the the world android Especially with the decline of windows phone is more dominant than it is in many other parts of the world So it's an acute problem in europe for sure And again, there are certainly uh, some of those issues and some of those Investigations that I personally feel are can be justified This one doesn't seem like one Thanks to all those who participate in our subreddit You can submit stories and vote on them and help us make the lineup every day at daily tech news show dot reddit.com That's a look at our top stories All right, so new data from comm score came out last friday showing that in the three month span between april and june 49 percent of us smartphone users did not download any apps in each month 49 percent now That's actually an improvement from the approximately 66 percent who didn't download apps in a three month period two years ago Though comm score says we've changed our methods. We've improved them quite a lot You really can't compare those two studies But it's showing that people on average aren't downloading a lot of apps of the people who do download apps The average number downloaded per person is three and a half 13 percent of smartphone owners account for more than 50 percent of all the apps downloaded And even if you go to a more favorable study like tune A company that works in the mobile app advertising market They found that 75 percent of smartphone owners downloaded at least one app a month But that still leaves 25 percent that work This is the the statistics that are behind a question that patrick and i were talking about earlier today patrick You're sort of asking About the search for apps. What was what's your question? so basically I do an app recommendation A podcast in french So I follow this market very closely and certainly there's been in the first few years after the app stores arrived A lot of excitement and I think everyone anyone reasonable would accept that kind of excitement to die down a little bit But it feels to me like it's it's gone beyond the idea that just apps have become Commodatized and we don't really think of them as much. I'm wondering if uh, there isn't kind of a Boring aspects of apps now. We don't have the super new exciting app that's coming out And everyone's not looking even in our communities, which are, you know, very tech centric and and aware of all of this We're not going around exchanging tips about, you know, the hottest new app or So i'm wondering if apps Aren't not on the decline. Well, they have declined for sure. I'm not saying they're going away But have they become boring? I guess is my is my question from a consumer point of view And definitely from a developer point of view, are we seeing A little bit less excitement for the apps in general So bret, you're on the front lines of this uh with an app that is successful and lots of apps are still successful I don't think patrick's saying that like he said the apps are dying But do you see a difference in the way people get excited about apps? Yeah, I actually think there's a lot going on there I think a big part of it is that uh all of the growth we're seeing in apps is in games So I would I would suspect that the majority of those people who are downloading two or more a month are downloading games Uh, and the one thing that makes that so much easier, especially in the apple app store Is that they're featuring new games every day, which leads the second big component of it, which I think is kind of the Nichefication of apps for lack of a better term. There there's a few big apps up there that we all use I bet we all took a picture of our home screens. We'd all have the same Five or six apps on there and then if we went to our second page, it would be completely different for everyone Uh, and I think that's kind of what we're seeing when you when you have 50 000 apps going up A month or a day or whatever it is then, uh, you're going to see this fracturing of the app store Patrick, what do you think? Oh, sorry? I thought I was having issues with my perision internet No, I mean perision for your internet I I I agree. I think there is Um, definitely the the the apps that we're using there are the few, you know, everyone has facebook twitter Well twitter, maybe not everyone but facebook instagram Uh, what's up and a couple of others? Uh, and the rest of the You know exciting movement in the app stores seem to be around games Um, and then once every once in a while there's an uber that comes up, but that's not really the app It's more of the service as a whole. Um, I guess a question would be When was the last time you got an app that got you really excited? Yeah, I think that's it exactly is those those exciting apps are still out there But they have to do something completely different or add such a value add to something you're already doing We're already capable of doing the things we need to do which is Message people talk to people send photos the things that get people excited are the ones that do that in like a slightly different way Like I would argue the biggest most useless most exciting app in recent memory is bitmoji That's the one where you were doing something a little bit different on top of something that we already have something that does really well It's basically old communication apps Again, remember the early days of the app stores We had like things to to to measure levels to see if your table was flat There were you know apps that would all of these quirky silly little things Did we realize that we don't need them or did we just do everything and now we're done because everything has been done I think that's exactly it that we didn't need those and what we were excited about in those moments Was not the app at all but the phone but like oh suddenly my phone has a lighter on it that I can blow out But it's the technology the phone that's exciting not the app Uh granted someone still made a bucket of money off of making a lighter app Well, and I'm I'm I'm thinking about this and I'm looking at my phone Some of the recent apps that I have installed are Memrise a foreign language learning app that is not particularly revolutionary But it has an advanced language System that I liked and went a little more advanced than duo lingo. So that's that's why I got it But it's it's incremental right. It's not something I'm raving about pokemon go. It's a game It's also a game that you know Isn't about the app. It's about the game that I play uh google trips, which just came out yesterday I downloaded to try uh and again That's about a service so to speak of organizing your information And I think this goes to what brett's talking about we're no longer excited about what a phone can do We're now on to the level that we are with our desktops and laptops Which is it doesn't really matter that the app takes advantage of some new thing in our computer It matters like is this doing something useful for me So what you guys are saying is that the apps weren't really about the apps I mean the the boom the apps boom I'm not talking about the galaxy note 7 here To saw that was we know it Um at the apps boom wasn't really about the apps It was about the phones and since the phones have become commoditized We've realized that there wasn't I mean Let's not say let's not be too extreme Of course the apps are huge and it's a big ecosystem and it's a big industry of course But it's just not as exciting because it was so tied to the phones that now that the phones have become You know a little bit more meh The apps have become meh with the phones Does that mean that at some point in the future if there is some new functionalities in the phones We're going to get excited about the apps again. Yeah, well you put that retina scan that that samsung added I'm seeing people getting really excited over the fact that they can now do samsung pay with their eyes And they're only excited about samsung pay in that instance because there's a new function on the phone I don't even think it's a bad thing. I think it was sort of a hey, we've got a new toy Let's see what it can do. We figured out what it's good at and now we're on to the more practical use of that tool Yeah, so what you think is the magic of the early days of the marriage is gone and now it's just routine Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I don't think it's routine It's I think you still married a really Attractive lady who is great at cooking and sometimes she makes a really good meal that you weren't expecting Wow stereotyping sexism. That is a terrible analogy Uh, well, well, it could be it could be a man or a woman who married this cook Does it doesn't really matter? I mean that was talking about me. I married my wife and she is I Know what? In all honesty, let's flip this around you could have married a guy who was a horrible cook When you first married him 13 years ago But in the intervening time has learned and actually makes some things you really like and ask him to make Uh, and and and so that doesn't mean that you've lost excitement It doesn't mean that new skills aren't aren't you know popping up. It's just not that Newness anymore, right and that's even the kind of the same thing with uh, pokemon go to leave behind all these really awkward metaphors That was a thing that like I would I would say So many of the people that got excited about it got excited about because of the ar And then so many of those people shut off the ar within two days of use Yeah, like like pokemon go is fine and it's fun, but what's exciting is the new Yeah, and yeah, it's it's it's the new things are farther and farther apart as we get used to what these phones could do I guess it becomes incremental instead of suddenly going from a flip phone to a super computer in your pocket the the uh The job is now the phone manufacturers to get us I mean, I don't know. Is it is it is there a requirement that we have to be excited? Maybe not. I mean the it's just that the it was one of those moments where we thought everything was become was becoming apps And and the apps were so the old end all of all of it I and and everything is still becoming apps Uh, or at least everything is becoming software in some regard or another even if it's I mean the latest app I downloaded was the new remote for the apple tv like my computer. It's leaking onto my tv Yeah, well, I think we should be we we lost sight of what the web can do If you remember though, a lot of those early apps were just websites in a wrapper and thankfully that is rare now Uh, and we're we're starting to rediscover as as html 5 gets more more competitive as well We're starting to rediscover what an open platform like the web is good for and what software is good for and and they're good for different things I guess apps are I would say apps are less exciting, but as you were saying, it's maybe not a bad thing Yeah, well, uh, there's an app That you're excited about it's our pick of the day. Uh, patrick, what do you got for us? So it's an app and a service as we were saying. Uh, it's something called fleaks dot tv f l e e x Dot tv, uh, and it's going to be most well Maybe not super useful to the people listening now because you're already speaking english But for people who want to learn it's a service that allows you to Overlay video services on the web. They do it for YouTube netflix tad.com and one or two others with subtitles and uh, they can use subtitles in french England, I mean a lot of languages and english the service is to learn english But the really interesting thing that they can do is that they can display both Or you know, they can display english or french or another language again Or both at the same time or switch between english and french when the Things that are being said are too are on different levels of difficulty So if it's easy enough You're gonna have the english that you're trying to learn if it becomes a little bit too hard You're gonna have your native language that you are obviously more comfortable with so it I've tried it for a little bit. It's really well done It does on your computer. You know, it doesn't work everywhere. Obviously it works It has an app it works on the on the pc for netflix, for example, pc or mac Through the website, but it seems like a gs idea Just watch the thing you you enjoy the thing you want to have fun with and have that comfort of having the subtitles that You you you can understand when you when you can or the ones that you want to learn when it's difficult And I just actually thought that you can probably use it for learning other languages as well. Just set it to French and english and set it to the fact that you don't understand english at all So you're gonna have a lot of it in in french that could work. I suppose Yeah, I would like it to be avowedly for learning french or learning spanish or something like that I think that would be cool. Uh, and maybe if it if it does well enough as a is being marketed as an english language tool They'll they'll add that functionality. That'd be great Send your pics to us folks feedback at dailytechnewshow.com You can find more pics at dailytechnewshow.com slash pics got a few messages to get to before we're out of here Yesterday, we were talking about the idea of an endless newbie. Uh, the fact that as Tech continues to advance faster and faster. It's harder and harder to be experienced at things L. Mike Verdusco just finished his dissertation earlier this year focusing on digital literacy He said, yeah, for sure faculty are resistant to change because they just learned the last version But students also can be disadvantaged when it comes to skills and knowledge to be productive through technology For example, taking advantage of the feature of a word processor to minimize the effort to complete a quality document to submit Sounds like uh, some people in his classes Didn't hand in very good papers. Uh, he said they can be just as technophobic as some of the faculty Allen said I liken the endless newbie phenomenon to the peak tv phenomenon people will have to pick and choose What technology to learn and adapt and rich from lovely cleveland thinks we need an agent He said I could see a company offering an ai layer as a service that interacts with whatever software you have On a given device to achieve the goal set by the user I think the at some point the okay When I realized how difficult it was for some people to learn how to use a vcr Which was for the kids listening a very easy to use device to record things On on a tape. Um, I I realized there is no way that technology is going to be Learnable by everyone and that I I I agree I think that some people not just older people are just not learning they just don't like it They don't want to spend the time required to learn it Um, and I agree with rich basically that the only technology that will be That will enable everyone to use old technology is once ai is advanced enough that the interface You need to use it is just the regular conversational interface. So once we have, you know, uh, someone saying, uh That's okay, Dave. I can do your uh, I'm sorry I can't do that Exactly that will be the time when When when the newbie problem is going to go away not before All right, I'm sure the newbie problem ever goes away I think there's a Large sect of society that's completely content with living the exact lives they're living now any new technology Only brings added effort that they don't need to put out Yeah, and well, and I think the pace of technological innovation Brings the bar of who those people are Uh along a little so people that might have Said well, uh, okay I'm gonna make the effort Just start to give up because they're constantly facing software updates and interface changes and even concepts that they just don't understand Like I think snapchat is a great example of that where people who I know are technology enthusiasts and and and take up technology Just don't want to bother learning snapchat because they just don't get it and that's not even a hard thing. Yeah I I agree. I I do think snapchat was intentionally obscure though. So it's kind of a special special, uh case Oh my gosh, I I know that I could call mission pick intentionally obtuse Like oh, no, no, no anything that you're having a hard time with that's on purpose I I did that because I wanted to keep out the rip wrap But but that being said, uh, the issue isn't that it's technology The issue is that you have to learn something that you don't have to learn in everyday life And that's why I think uh ai when ai is clever enough that you can Use it with just conversational skills anyone who can talk to anyone who can have a conversation is going to be able to use it So that's why I'm saying at that point There won't be newbies because you already know how to talk to people and that's all the skills you're going to need Hopefully uh at some point I think that it actually if you're if you're trying to think of a world where the newbie problem goes away You have to go in the other direction. It has to be uh, not An increment like it doesn't have to be an easier way to upgrade. It has to make your life harder by not upgrading Like you have to reach a point like oh my gosh if I don't do this thing My life is going to be miserable as opposed to like, oh, it's so easy now Now I can do this one thing that I wasn't doing before Yeah, no, that's uh, that's a really interesting opposition point, which is like, yeah, you're going to be left behind I know you don't think that snapchat is is worth your time even though it has this crazy new ai interface So you don't have to learn the interface anymore But if you don't use it the self-driving car won't come and now your life is harder Right, I wouldn't I wouldn't even liken it to like actual literacy Like at some point everyone was okay with not having the the knowledge found in books because they could get it from their neighbor or whatever And then sooner or later books were everywhere. That was the only way to get it You literally have to learn to read or else you're left behind. Yeah, absolutely Well, that is it for this episode of the daily tech news show patrick vasia. Uh, thank you again as always What do you got to tell folks about this week? Let's tell them about pixels a show about video games and gaming news in general Which I had the immense pleasure of doing with tom. Was it yesterday? Yes. It was just yesterday morning I know it does feel a little longer because it was so yeah So you could learn all about uh, the playstation pro the tokyo games show and and a bunch of other things if you go to frenchspin.com and look for the latest episode of pixels and Aside from that i'm not patrick on twitter and facebook And uh, you've been alluding to mission pick throughout the episode. Uh, brett tell folks about it where they could find it How they could take advantage of it. Yeah, it's on iphone right now It's a mission pick and it's an app where every day everyone gets the same new photo challenge Then you take a photo that satisfies that challenge and then the community votes the photos up and down and creates these Leaderboards it's like really stunning photography. Uh, and we have an awesome community there. It's really fun to participate And if you checked it out at some point in the past and you haven't checked in within the last like three months or so You're 100 missing out Go get it check it out mission pick.com. Do you have any updates on an android version yet? Yes, the update is as soon as someone hands us a pile of money. We will start coding away Excellent.

the Walther CCP M2. CCP stands for Concealed Carry Pistol. Walther calls this a soft coil. It does have a delayed blowback gas system, single stack, eight round mags Z. Double action firearm, striker fire indicator, but it's a soft coil because it uses a light recoil spring, weaker hands, maybe some women, senior citizens, delayed blowback gases so you can see that it has a fixed barrel, 3.5 inch barrel, the piston that stays attached. So what happens is as the slide cycles it pushes those gases inward making a real soft shooting handgun. It's a nice handgun. What I like about it is that it does have the Walther cross directional texture. The dots are rather small, away thumb safety right there.


Now that we've imported the textures we've need in the previous step We can bring the textures into the material and start making this grass look better So I'm currently still in my Textures folder and we need to be in the landscape practice material So you can see I've left mine open up here But if you need to open it again, it'll be in your materials folder, but I'm just going to access it from over here And what we're going to do to make this more textures is we're going to replace This constant three vector node with a texture sample node So the first thing we need to do is delete this you could just disconnect it So if you want to disconnect disconnect a node you hold the alt key on your keyboard left click and That disconnects it But there would be no point in us keeping that because it's going to be redundant So I'm just going to click on it and press the delete key and that's gone. I Do want to keep the roughness node because I want this to stay quite rough But I also need to now create a texture sample node so I'm going to do that by right-clicking and I'm just start Typing tex to you are a and texture sample just appears here You could type all of texture sample or again you could get texture sample from in here as well But we'll create a new texture sample node And I already know that I want to plug this into base color So I'll do that already now you can see this has already got the grass in there It's not actually what I wanted But I'm going to leave this little mistake in the video so I can show you why it's happened So I've got grass there the reason that appeared then with the grass to Texture is because in here I had grass to selected I believe Maybe now or at least it thought I had grass to selected Anyways It will either create a blank texture sample node Or one with a material that you might have had selected already And what I want to do is actually now select the right one So making sure that I've got this node selected you can see here This is the section that is saying here's what sort of texture to use So I'm going to go to my drop-down box and I'm looking for grass underscore day, which is my diffuse Just so you know what's happening with the naming conventions diffuse goes into your base color node So I'll just let that update And you can see now this is the kind of nice thick grass that I'm looking for it almost matches up with the color that I had before But now it's got a little bit more texture to it So once I've done that what I need to do is save this material again. So I'll let that happen And now we can have a look at how that looks in level So I'm going to go back to the level editor and you can see now This is updated to show and the grass so as they always like to do I'm just going to have a little run around and see what this looks like if you see these lines I've made sure I turn these lines back on and it was to do with my Shadow quality that was previewing I had it turned all the way down So I've turned that up a little bit because you're likely to see these lines as well And then nothing to worry about they will disappear when we put lighting later But what I'm interested in is looking at the grass and see this now looks much better than it did previously I Do have one issue with it though and that's it looks very flat It's almost like we've printed out grass on some paper and stuck it to the floor So we want this to look a little bit more textured and in order to do that We're going to use a normal map, which is what we'll cover in the next step. So I'll see you there for that one Enjoy looking at your grass Thanks for watching if you want to take your learning further I recommend an introduction to Unreal Engine 4 by Andrew Sanders and Unreal Engine 4 game development essentials by a Teach-PV check them out using the links in the video description below Special thanks to my awesome patrons whose names are displayed on screen for supporting this video If you'd also like to support my channel then go to patreon.com forward slash Shane Whittington

Oh, I know that we know what a training aid is We ought to find out exactly one of the different types of training.

We are a German family living in the American sector of West Berlin This is our house here, and we are sitting in our backyard enjoying the nice summer weather. I Mrs. Jochim This is my husband This is a beanie my 10-year-old daughter, and this is Martin. He's six years old Mrs. Jochim, how do you feel about the wall that has been built by the communists? Well to tell you the truth at first I was a little bit disturbed like many other Berliners where I'm sure and As a mother of two children I was worried too because everything looked so like so much like war But now that the Americans here in West Berlin reinforce their troops and and were deployed along the border I feel very much at ease In West Germany as in West Berlin Eucera is not alone Sintag the central army group of NATO is made up of French West German and American elements working and training together The French give us a sampling of the training that goes on within the central army group command and Far the north in Germany the West German Bundeswehr shows us the readiness of North egg the northern army group commanded by British general Sir James troops of West Germany Canada Belgium Britain and the Netherlands fuse together into a mighty element of the Western Alliance and To the far south in Italy where we witness a continued strengthening of the alliance Eucera teams joined forces with the Italians affording their mixed units an opportunity to learn new approaches to tactical situations Our soldier in Italy is part of CTAF the southern European task force whose mission It is to have ready the ground delivered atomic support for defense of northern Italy The corporal guided missile ready to deliver its warhead long range with pinpoint accuracy Against any would be invader The honest John rocket is here too a short-range ground defense weapon operated by Italian troops who've been well trained by American crews But the power and the strength of our forces in Europe is meaningful only when matched with a spirit of Allied trust and cooperation Italian troops such as these Alpini soldiers bear witness to America's cooperative spirit in the pursuit of Allied unity Alpini troops frequently team up with Eucera men for combat training Exercises the Alpini are among the world's finest mountain fighters each a native of the mountain regions each a man's man Here soldiers of Eucera's engineer battalions work closely with the Alpini on a demolition training assignment Here's what a small sample of the Alpine soldiers Prepared Another of Italy's host of colorful troops the Berserlieri or sharpshooter's a brave group of men that any man would welcome beside him in battle Found in a spree a sense of purpose the famous Italian Carabinieri their dress uniforms reflecting a century and a half old tradition of fighting prowess Even in such formidable company as this Eucera's young soldier in a dress uniform of a different cut But enrapt with a comparable tradition maintains his proud stance of defense At a school high in the Alps Eucera ski troops have the unique opportunity to train under the guidance of the very best Italian experts It looks like fun and it is but serious business because a fall a miscue in battle could be fatal Naples Italy the Chenza Pisa names and places out of a colorful tour guidebook But they also signify the strategic military sites the logistical and missile commands of Eucera's Italian defense net Perhaps one of the most scenic locales of all is Verona And it is here that we find the headquarters for the southern European task force the focal point of our army in southern Europe Now let's listen to what this young Italian woman thinks about the American soldier in Italy Oh, yes, I speak English. Oh, you speak it quite well I represent the big picture United States Army television program for American audiences We'd like to ask you a few questions about American forces stationed in Italy. Do you mind? Oh, not at all at first tell us your name and something about yourself. Well, my name is Mirella Villani I am married and live here in Verona. Senor Villani, what do you think about the American forces stationed here in Italy? Most Italians think it is a necessity to have them here in Italy as part of the NATO organization for defense and We realize that we are so close to the communist countries that we do hope that the NATO strength will prevent any aggression from the communists What do the Italians in general think of the American sort? Well, you see a large majority of Italians have relatives in the States and the large percentage of American people have relatives here in Italy and therefore we feel such a close report between Italy and America that We prefer American people to other peoples in the world. That's very kind. What do you personally think of the American soldier? Oh, I like them very much I had the opportunity to visit their homes since my neighbors are all American families And I'm having a wonderful time and seeing all the different customs and the way of living Well, thank you very much senor Villani for your answers. They're both interesting and informative From Italy to France to calm Z communication zone Europe for the little-known story of a phenomenal support operation Logistics the massive challenge of supplying the combat soldier with his clothing his fuel his weapons and ammunition From calm Z in France Supplies move in a steady progression to our bases in West Germany Millions of tons of every imaginable commodity transported by a variety of means Packed in the States never unloaded till they reach their final military destination With that ingenuity so long an American tradition the army developed a system of quick disconnect techniques That speedily unhitches the tractor from the trailer Then a smooth and quick exchange of one tractor for another one tired the other The trailer becomes a veritable pony express on wheels with minimum delay en route. They go night and day Com Z supply network is kept operating smoothly by the modern miracle of electronics Automatic data computers with their micromania to arise Be puzzling decks of equipment Constantly sifting out the thousands of orders from the field getting the supplies shipped without delay An army that moves is an army with trucks and tanks and armored personnel carriers with complete families of vehicles and aircraft Every one of them with a healthy appetite for fuel So from the coast of France to the depots of West Germany the pipelines and supply trucks of calm Z Answer the need carrying the product to the consumer fuel of all kinds jet fuel Aviation gas diesel oil gasoline fuel the largest item of supply in the entire com Z system Simultaneously other commodities are transported by water to their military destinations the big items the guns and vehicles and aircraft of an army the Hardware and supplies that keep our usura soldier at a constant peak of readiness wherever he may be This is the way to back up a border sentinel with everything you've got and now From usura headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany the man who knows as much about usura as a man can know The commander-in-chief of the United States Army in Europe general Bruce C. Clark We do want you to think for a moment that we are preoccupied with only guns and tanks and equipment of war on the contrary Usura fosters a large highly successful educational program through accredited schools and Religion too was a vital part of our lives We like to feel we are religious army Usura has constructed 253 chapels throughout Europe for its troops Protestant Catholic and Jewish services are conducted regularly as well as Sunday school classes and group meetings We have given you a very brief sketch of usura's mission its proficiency and its strength When NATO was first organized there were many who believed it could never be made to work Helping make NATO work has been a challenge well met by the United States Army in Europe The strongest ground force in NATO In the strange half war we are in You have well met the challenge to our freedom Our way of life and the strength you have given usura


Tom here from more systems. We're going to talk about hard drive pass through with XEP and G You want to learn more about me or my company head over to Lawrence systems calm If you like to hire for a project there is a hires button at the top If you like to support the channel out in other ways There is affiliate links for products and services we talk about down below Including a full review of this Dell PowerEdge R720 XD server in our lab provided by tech supply direct We have a discount code to get you to some Discount off your purchase from them. All right, I'll leave a link to this video as well if you're interested in more details about the server But there are different ways that you may want to set up pass through on XEP and G XEP and G does support pass through of the hard drive and it supports pass through of the full controller That would be controlling all the hard drives and when you pass through the whole controller That means you would be passing them through to a specific VM And then that controller would not be available for other VMs and all the drives attached to that controller would then be Only available to that particular virtual machine. Maybe that's what you want to do. That will probably be a different video Now what I'm going to show you is how to take individual hard drives off of a controller and pass them directly into the VM Now the use case for doing this is frequently probably Free NAS. I think that's the most common question I get about this But any time you want to test any type of system that requires or really recommends direct access direct read write access to the Hard drive not going through the hypervisor where you add overhead add a potential problems latency or compatibility issues You want direct read write at the hardware level. Well, you just pass that hardware through There's a few reasons whether you're doing it directly to the hard drive or directly controller You may or may not want to do this one from a virtualization standpoint Although it may work and it does give you the enhanced speed because there's you're removing one layer But the other side is for failover would be an example Even if you had two identical servers that hard drive lives in only one of them So whether that hard drive or controller that you've chose to pass through Once you've set that up and attached it You can't just take that and drop it on another server because you'd have to physically move all the hard drives as well Just a couple things to note the final thing I will note is when you pass hard drives through because Xcp and G can see them, but can't control them This breaks snapshotting And this is a problem other hypervisors suffer as well where snapshotting may not be available Because it tries to snapshot drives that it doesn't have control over because they're passed through So just a couple prerequisites a couple things to note when you're doing this that those could be problems But for labs and testing purposes This is definitely a easy fun way to do this and it's not that hard. It is not exposed in the UI here though So I'm running Zen Orchestra here version 553 along with Xcp and G version 8 so Up-to-date system as of right now jingary 2020 8.0 GPL and we're gonna go over here to storage And there is no other than this removable local storage set up on here We have this a dozer and this one are both running separately on a physically separate server running free NAS That's how attached to the NFS share and an ice because you share and On here we have this host Sorry virtual machine Debian and this is the Debian server We're going to be passing the drives through currently has just one disk and it's set up on that NFS share And here we are logged into it and LS BLK shows the block devices attached in right here This is it one drive, but if we go here Lots of drives not doing anything right now, but I don't want to give them all to that VM we're just gonna pick a couple of them to give to the VM and By the way past she's pretty straightforward and pretty easy to do now first thing to note is you can see that SDI has var log on it and other things on there Definitely don't want to use that one because that's actually what Xcp and G itself is running on so you do have to make sure that you know that the disks that are on there are Not in use and we're gonna do SDA so sue cbf disk slash dev SDA You can see there's nothing but free space on there, which is great We'll do STB free space Well, there's a GPT partition from another demo I did so I'm gonna head and just delete it because I don't want anything on The drive now you think it's on the drive will pass through so that is an option if you wanted to pass it through Take an existing hard drive that had information on it and pass it through this is another scenario Well, this would work perfectly fine. You just take it and pass it through once, you know what the idea is Now first step in the process we got to go here to see SRV And there's nothing in here right now. It's blank. So we're gonna make it directory where call it pass drives Call it whatever you want. This is just easy for me make their pass drives CD pass drives Now we have to create a storage repository You can create storage repositories in Sensor over here when you go to storage, but it does not have an option That would allow you to create because it does local But then it's the hypervisor controlling it.  We're gonna create a very special one Let's copy and paste the command out. This will be located The details of the commands will be linked to a forum post and a forum post will be linked back to this video So if you don't want to try and write down the commands, you'll find them in the forum post linked below So Xe SR create so we want to create we call the label is pass underscore drives type Udev Content type disk device config location SRV pass drives So what this does? Creates a storage repository with this you ID it create generates a new one each time and now when we look over here Right, there's pass drives shows right up So no problem, but there's no distance yet So if we hit rescan, it's not gonna find anything because there's nothing to find Now here comes the really easy part for linking each of the distance here LN dash s now I'm in just to point this out when you do a symbolic link if you're in the same directory You can just type it like this LN dash s slash dev sd a press center And what that did was created a symbolic link sd a to dev slash sd a Now if we go back over here Rescan There's one hard drive now. It has no awareness of what's on that hard drive So it says zero bytes free because well, it doesn't understand it and it's not going to but at least it can see it So we have a methodology of knowing that the hard drive is in there And we'll just up here again. We'll do the See now we have three symbolic links in there Just hit rescan. Hey, look all the drives are there. How do you attach them? Well, a couple things about attaching them one I probably should have named them first, but we'll go ahead and name them right now You should make sure For your sanity sake that you give these names to know what they are related to where they are in the system So let's say, you know that you added sda first and sdb and then this guy was cuz he ID for Sdc and the reason I say this is if you ever have a hard drive go bad You're not sure which one it is If you at least know where they are and maybe make some labels and make reference to them Just pre thoughts on theirs. I've had people trying to sort out things in post when they've had something fail So now we have the three drives. We've named them. They have this name here We can put the serial number in there if we wanted to get more specific you could dive in however you want But let's go over here to the VM And even with this VM running and it does have those end tools installed in it We're gonna go ahead and attach a disc and go back over to show you real quick here here And we only have this one drive attached. So, you know, if we the LS BLK it lists out this one X VDA And then the partitions one two and five here and the volume groups So we go ahead and attach disc Scroll down and there's those ones SDA pass drive. So this is the storage It thinks there's nothing free because it can't see inside of it. All right. Now the drive is attached so well, we go in here and list it real quick and Just up arrow. We've gained another disc So let's go ahead and attach the other ones just for good measure STB and Scroll down and find STC here. All right. Now all the drives are attached. You can see the size of hard drive But like I said, he can't see what's in them. So go here now. We have three drives now We can do whatever we want with these drives. We can CF disc Dev X B D Be and this is where things may get a little bit more confusing because this already had one Virtualized disc pass through and then several real disc pass through it They started at DC and E versus the way it was labeled over in X C P and G So once again, you start to see where these alignments can happen to where you may be confused Which disc is which if you have or have one that has a problem But from here, we could format do whatever we want to these this they show up with the free space in here we can However, you want to do it create a new partition Format them they work like any other drive from here and now now like I said, this works with whatever hyperbite with the hypervisor And then you nest in whatever you want. So let's say free nas for example, and you want to create ZFS you would then Ideally you would install free nas itself the install instead of a USB like you would normally on a hardware device install a small virtual hard drive but then pass through all the hard drives that you want ZFS and to be part of the ZFS pool on with Free nas and it would be that simple to do In the case of this if you wanted to build a raid array within here because this particular System running Linux and I want to build a raid array out of it. Cool. I take those drives now I've done this and like I said really for lab This isn't something as much for production due to the fact of the snapshotting problem And well, it doesn't make it good for failover because it's tied to this machine now but it it definitely is a pretty straightforward way to do this if you want to attach drives directly to the system and I will show you how to remove them. So let's go ahead and it was shut down this VMs.  So it's just disconnected. We'll forget forget forget Actually, we should just probably just remove this. I don't even need this whole VM anymore That one's deleted and we're going to go over here to storages past drives And we're gonna say disconnect from all hosts And then we're just going to Forget it. It's gone. Then we go back over here to our System here, which it still exists here and then I just RM star Remove symbolic link Yes, and I could have just done this but you know good old RM dash RF and past drives Done it's back to the way we started so the storage processor is gone So I've used this a lot of times for testing That's why some of the drives were in there like I said, but it's pretty straightforward to do you just do this You know the XES are creating. I guess I'll leave a link to the forum post to the command I used to do this It's pretty straightforward And I'll do a separate video because I know people have been asking about this about how to pass things through such as the Whole controller. I'll do that separate videos I need to set up a separate machine for that because I do use some of these drives for other reasons alright and thanks And thank you for making it to the end of the video if you like this video Please give it a thumbs up if you'd like to see more content from the channel hit the subscribe button and hit the bell icon If you like YouTube to notify you when new videos come out If you'd like to hire us head over to Lawrence systems calm fill out our contact page and Let us know what we can help you with and what projects you'd like us to work together on if you want to carry on the Discussion head over to forums that Lawrence systems calm where we can carry on the discussion about this video other Videos or other tech topics in general even suggestions for new videos They're accepted right there on our forums, which are free Also, if you like to help the channel in other ways head over to our affiliate page We have a lot of great tech offers for you and once again, thanks for watching and see you next time


Hi everyone, Joe for jazzycasewrakes.com with our last box of 2016 at Panini National Treasures Football. Big thanks to this group right here for getting into it. Thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up. Congrats to the winners of these three fillers that we did right here, 11, 12, and 13, those Mosaic Packs. Joshua, you ended up with that last bot Mojo star right there. And there are the teams right there. Wow, the ruling on the field stands. Goal line fumble by Denver, Seattle has the ball. They're up 17-13, seven minutes left to the third. They're more than holding their own. Yeah, Joe Christian's impressed with Seattle. You thought they were just going to get smashed. One and a three, four times for names and teams. One, two, three, and four. I had Seattle plus six and I did not think that they were going to be in the lead though. I thought they were just going to keep it close. All the ways to go in the game, but so far so good for Seattle. All right, one and three, four times for the teams, one, two, three, and four. The Niners down to the Chargers.  Let's alphabetize by team. Remember to, remember, trade at your own risk, and we're gonna pause the video and keep that trade window open. When we come back, we'll see if there's any trades, and then we'll do the final box of that 2016 case. Be right back. All right, hi, welcome back everybody. No deals were done here on a Monday, so that list right there, final print out, hot off the presses remains the same. Thank you, and good luck, everyone. Remember I marked that random team four, so we know it's from the same case, and this is box two of that four box case.  That's where that size comes into play. Love that, love that crack of the old NT wooden boxes. Uh-oh, Broncos getting Seahawks, give it right back. All right, good luck everybody. Here we go. Leading off is Dez Brian, 82 out of 99. Cowboys, Eric Houston. Houston with Dallas, and got DeMarco Murray, 21 out of 29. Titans, Nicholas, the Titans. Boomer size and 67 out of 99. Century Materials, Relic. Kevin, Kevin M with Cincinnati, and got Corey Coleman, one out of 10.  That's gonna go to CJ with the Browns. Cleveland, this is for you. We've got a Quad Relic, all Dolphins. Tana Hill has a Dolphin. Jarvis Landry, J. Ajay, and Devante Parker. 32 out of 99. Are any of these guys on the Dolphins anymore? No, right? I mean, Tana Hill is with the Titans. Alright, Jarvis Landry is still with the, oh he's with the Saints now, that's right. J. Ajay is probably out of football. I don't know what he's doing these days. Yeah, 2022 retirement, so officially pretty recently.  This is just 2016, but this will still go to Miami, that'll be for Brian Crouch. Another Dolphin, it's Jarvis Landry, big patch there, 15 out of 25, looks nice. Another one for Brian. Next up is William Jackson III for the Bengals. 14 out of 25, autograph going to Kevin M. We're on Cincinnati. A few more here. We've got Connor Cook, 55 out of 99 for my Raiders. Not sure where he is these days, but I think he will, yeah, Michigan State fans might still be interested in this. That goes to Joshua Jones and my Raiders. We've got all decade Carl Eller, 24 out of 49. Thanks old school guy from the 70s going to Minnesota, Douglas. Yeah, Gila's point out, hey, Jarvis Landry's still low key, low key good fancy player. All right, and the final one. What do we got here? What do we got? It is a rookie Game Gear autograph, Carson Wentz. Your number two overall pick, 5 out of 10. Man, back in 2016, this would have been a real monster right here. 5 out of 10, triple rally, on-card autograph, Carson Wentz. Now, if he has a great season with the commanders this year, this could be one to hold on to. Brian Frank, with a spot he got straight up, got randomized the Eagles, gets the Carson Wentz, rooting for him. Hopefully it'll be hashtag good for the hobby. There you go, gang. I'm Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. Thanks for getting into those 2016 NT breaks with us. I'll see you next time for the next football break. Bye-bye.

It's like a little derby. It looks like he's literally crabbing himself Thomas and Percy sell chocolates Way selling chocolate You just can't wait for me to die. Can you they're selling chocolate chocolate? Yes. What what are they selling chocolate? What I can't hear you. They're selling chocolate. They're selling chocolate. Yes Chocolate. I remember when they first invented chocolate sweet sweet chocolate. I Always hated it. Oh chocolate isn't for eating. It's for Rub it on your skin and it makes you live forever. Hey, yo Live forever. You say I'll take one Hey, he was quick on his feet To make a line me with that's chocolate.   Um, it's like these bars of I don't know man Let's just go ahead and watch it. He created like this commercial Cheddar bar Cheddar cheese and we have a new product for you that will especially appeal to fans of Thomas the tank engine and his friends We the world's best company choo-choo clan have invented a new sausage Oh, so that every housewife. Yo, what's a delicious cheddar on a dried out bun Especially for you. We have developed three different varieties. Oh, which one would you guys buy? I think I'll take the persimmon. It tastes rotten, but you can eat it.  All right, this is Tom Oh It is these artworks it looks pretty cool It looks like cartoony like a more modern cartoon It doesn't look as horrible as a cartoon version they have now Hey, hey, hey Thomas meets his original model. Oh It's probably gonna be It's probably be sad story Sad story for Thomas meeting his own replacement and this being Roblox though.  Oh, I know where it could be. It's gonna be the old Thomas model It's gonna be all old Looking oh look at Thomas.  This is just getting sad, bro.  Look at him Not Thomas. You got to take it. You got to take the job back, bro. And look at him. He's still happy Regardless That was pretty darn cruel man leaked last 2d animated Thomas pilot. Oh, what the heck? Well, why is it look kind of creepy? I'm gonna lie Just give me the heavey-jeebies man Well, why doesn't he blink?  Oh, no, this is escalating pretty fast As we can see Thomas Slowly becoming uncanny your other friend saw his ghost and said he was coming to warn you what? All right, this is definitely haunting man Thank you for Thomas Your shed door opens. Okay. Now the ghost is attacking us.  Oh God That was a James one right before he had his paint Well, all right chill out, bro. What do we have here? The frick is that? Why is the arm so long? Yeah, I forgot there was a Toby one. All right, I think he's like it's indestructible.   We've just been mux skibbity The heck is that like a microphone head? Oh, dang bro. Oh, that's a Toby It's gonna do with the plunger What the heck is that? Never seen that one before. Oh, they got back up The cow from backup the heck of those broccoli's oh see for nice That seemed like it'll do the job. Oh Oh, bro, that's the Percy Thomas No Thomas was wild and bad winds up you guys realize the game here and today we're gonna watch some Thomas videos But these are tick tock.  So let's begin Right when we got here some two guys play ball Dang, bro, you gotta chill with that layup Oh, no went to the darkness Why is it so oh? Yo Thomas just came out from the darkness All right, what is this? Oh? This is freaky man Like a Thomas human centipede. What? My eyes, what am I seeing in my poor eyes?  Oh God Really bro It's just out of pocket man. Yeah, bro. You're dead.  That is a Thomas tank engine look at me Thomas. Oh, no Tommy Man get to my trade oh Oh god Getting hit by Thomas, bro. Look at that It's hill or blue pill either way Guys, I got a new phone today. It is the Thomas the tank engine phone Dude, you're gonna break your phone man. There you go. Yes. Yes. I'm talking to your mother right? Yo, that is not this tree has been crashing to these five people Should we move the train to go this way or should we let it go that way? Which way should the train go? Yeah, well what you would pick which way? bro, he's He pointed towards That kid is a man into society. I Failed to do my Thomas there Okay, okay with this Thomas and friends What great steam for the ventures and life lessons do we have in store today? What time is looking at that bro?

All right you guys well those were so Random Thomas tick tocks never just out of the place. Thank y'all for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one That was pretty epic. All right, and now we got skimpy Thomas five-byte dear from Ohio Cowards who are extracting some type of convoy and seems like they're pretty Successful from what we seen at that end. All right, and for our final video We got Thomas and friends being compilation by the four-tier bridge. I'm banishing you to the chateau realm. Oh Oh much better Speaking of surprises squid. Yeah, I have something up my sleeves. Is it a banana? No, it's an automated gun turret.  What?  Oh god Track prank Percy was going about his duties over the bridge The Henry Henry the green engine Hey, that's the chair for a ratatouille You should get one like me and be up to date. No, thank you. You look like a snail with an ose on your back We got roasted, but sorry cranky. Oh, no here.

We're going to imagine that we're going to sell our investment. So let's imagine that we just sell it. We could just wait till it sells. So I put it on the books at $12,000. That's the cost. I'm going to wait till we just sell it. So later on, we're just going to say, OK, I'm going to sell it for whatever I can now. And imagine that we got, when we sold it, $12,250. So if I got $12,250 and I bought it for $12,000, it went up by $250. So what am I going to do? The cash account has to go up with a deposit form, let's say, by the $12,250. This needs to go down to zero by $12,000. And the other side needs to go on the income statement. Now, this is another transaction that we don't expect to happen all the time. So if I go to the first tab and I hit the plus button, there's not really a form that's directly related to recording the changes and the value of an investment. Because it's not a day-to-day transaction, it's like an adjusting entry. So then the question I would usually go through is, is cash affected? In this case, it is. Cash is going up. So I would use a deposit form. If cash wasn't affected and you were just recording, say, a gain to the value of the stock, and you were just saying increase to the stock value, the other side's going to unrealized gain, then you would have to use a journal entry, which you could enter a journal entry by using the registers, meaning you could go into the chart of accounts on the left-hand side and the accounting, and you could then go into the chart of accounts, close up the boogie, and by the way, if you're in the business view, by the way, the chart of accounts is under the bookkeeping, under the bookkeeping, and then the chart of accounts. Right there, and then you have to hit that thing in the sample thing to see it. Okay, and then you could go into the chart of accounts, and you could go into the investment account and use the register, and then, and then enter a journal entry, you know, basically this way in the register. So we're going to go into a deposit. So I'm going to hit the plus deposit form. My throat's a little messed up here. That's okay. I have coffee, coffee fixes, fixes stuff. So I'm going to say this is from 02022, not 2223, 23 we're working in now. Get up to date, man. You're living in the past. This is going to be short-term, I'm going to say deposit form. This is going to be short-term investment. Has to go down. So we might want to put a description, but I'm not going to put one here. Probably would be good. And I'm just going to put the amount of 12,000. And then the other side, I'm going to have to make an account for, it's going to be gains on sale of investment. So I probably don't have an account in here for that, most likely in the myriad of accounts that they gave me. So I'm just going to make a new one. I'm going to add it. I'm going to make it not an income account, but rather an other income, other income. So it'll be at the bottom of the income statement. And then you got dividends, other interest. I'll just call it other investment income.  No, I'm going to call it gains on sale of investment. Something like going to be an S investments. No description. I'll keep it there, save it and close it. What's this going to do? Increase the checking account because it's a deposit by the full amount. Or hold on a sec, I need a dollar amount here. Don't get ahead of, you're getting ahead of yourself. So it's going to increase the checking account by the 12,250. The other side's going to decrease short-term investment down to zero and the gains then will be on the income statement of 250 at the bottom of the income statement. That's what should happen. Let's see if that's what does happen. So let's record it, go back to the tab to the right, run it, go into the checking. We're going to check out the checking once again. We're always checking out the checking. There's the deposit right there. The checking is so interesting, that's why we check it out all the time. And then the other side is on the loan went down or the investments down to zero because we no longer have it. We cashed it in to buy more stuff because we're going to make more money selling guitars than we ever would from the dividends and interest. We're going to be billionaires with our business. And then on the tab to the right, I'm going to run it again. And then down below we've got then the interest and the gains are down here. So notice now why would we do that? Because I could have put the gain up here but we don't typically do that because that's not part of our normal operations and we haven't realized the gain. So we're going to say, look, this is the gains from actual operations that we can count on in the future. And then these are gains from investments, stuff that we don't, isn't really part of our business, but we just put some money in the investments and we got a gain, so we put it down here. Don't expect that to happen again in the future. That's not part of our business model or anything, but hey, we'll take it if it comes. And so that's how it works. So.
