You're probably thinking, Chris, you're getting a little repetitive, because we're looking again at converting spreadsheet files, in this particular case, Microsoft spreadsheet files to CSV files in the shell. I've already done two videos on this, and I know some people are probably going to complain, but I just want to separate out these three different programs. First one we did was LibreOffice, then we did GenoMaric. Now we're going to look at a program I haven't tried yet, but it's in the repository, so we're going to go through the process of installing it and using it. Now converting spreadsheets to a plain text file such as CSV is very useful, so then you can script out, grabbing information from those files, and two other options. You probably have LibreOffice or GenoMaric installed in your system. Most people do, because you're going to have to work with spreadsheets at some point in a GUI environment, and that is a, you know, two common things that are installed. So I figure why install something when you already have something installed. But if you don't, or if you just want to go really lightweight, there is a command line only tool that's just for converting spreadsheets to CSV. So first of all, let me list out here, let me go ahead and remove from the previous tutorials the CSV file.  See a program called xlsx2csv, hit enter, and there you go, you can see it's right there, you can see it converts these files to CSV format, that's all it does, and you can see I don't have it installed yet, otherwise this would be an I, and now I'm going to use PseudoAppt install and install this application, type in my super secret password, and there you go, I mean, additional disk space, 72.7 kilobytes, super duper small, so especially if you're going to want to run this on a server, this is definitely a way to go over the other formats, although the other programs can convert multiple formats into multiple other formats, and again you probably haven't installed, but if you're just looking to set something up just for doing this, this application is probably your best bet. And so now it's installed, you might also ask, just someone's going to ask why did I use aptitude and apt, I like the formatting when you're searching files that aptitude gives you, everything is all on one line and it's very easy to see whether it's installed or not, and then apt I just feel I like the progress bar it gives you when you're installing it, so I just use two different applications, but whatever package manager you prefer. Now that that's installed, I should be able to type in xlsx2csv, and I should be able to give it our file format here, of course we want to give it our spreadsheet file, and if I do that, let's see what happens, I type something wrong, yes change that, okay. It's saying this looks like a zip file, it's not supported, it looks like a zip file or officer later not supported, aha. So it's saying that the office file that I'm using, the spreadsheet file is too new of a format, so again I've never used this program, and so now we're learning something together. Let me go ahead and say gnumeric and actually let me use, no let's do gnumeric, gnumeric I'll give it that file, and I will say save as, and what formats are here, I'll give it a Microsoft Excel XP format, which doesn't have the x at the end, but let's see if it can do it here, now let's go ahead and try converting that file, there we go. This is nice because it gives us, look it put quotation marks around each of our fields, which could be nice depending on what you're going for, and also put it right to standard out. So with the other formats, files using LibreOffice or gnumeric, I don't know if there was a way to do standard out. So here we didn't create a new file, I mean we created a spreadsheet file, but if I have the spreadsheet file already, I can use this and I don't have to create a CSV file, I'm just outputting that, so then I can use fzf or grep, so I'll do this and I'll say jones and I'll do paula, there she is, and there's paula's information, like put that into cut, dash d comma dash f, let's get her birthday, which I believe is field seven. So now let's just do brown, Sarah, there we go, and I got Sarah's birthday. So that's super useful, but it doesn't have to go into a file, but if you wanted to put it into a file, you can just redirect it, I can just redirect it with a greater than symbol into people.csv, and now I can cat out that file, I can use grep whatever I want. Let's go ahead and look at the man page for this, and you see you do have some options here on how things work, formats, and I'm looking here real quick, cell separator character, default is going to be a C, so let's say I wanted to, so let's say one of these addresses had a comma in it, that's why the program puts quotation marks around this, and when it comes to converting other formats, that's useful, but if I just wanted to use the cut command, those commas could throw me off, so sorry, excuse me, I'm getting over being sick. If I wanted to, I should be able to, after reading that man file, C and give it this pipe character, no dash C, let's see, again I have not used this program, it says cell separated by default C, so you'd think it would be this, maybe let me try something like this, let's do period, okay that worked, it may just need to be a backslash pipe character, there we go, I like using the pipe character because that's not going to be in an address and most people are going to type that in there, so now I don't have to worry if there is a comma somewhere in one of those addresses, it's going to throw off my cut command, I can now do this and I can say cut with a delimiter of pipe, and I can say field again, seven if I want the birthday, and I have everyone's birthday, but of course I would want to grep before that or use fuzzy finder, Jones, Eric, and there's Eric Jones' birthday, so again that's the program we're looking at is XLS to CSV, and I believe there's another program that is up on GitHub, which is originally what I heard of that has XLSX to CSV, actually what I installed, what if I do this, does that work? Okay, no, there is an application, so this particular program that's in the repositories for Debian is going to be for older spreadsheet files, and if you're going to be doing this with just that format, this is a great option, it's super small, super lightweight, designed for the shell rather than being a GUI program that has a shell interface, again it was 70 some kilobytes, so super small, but very limited on the file formats it can work with, where Genumeric and LibreOffice both convert from and to many, many different formats, so it's just one of many options, but again people use spreadsheets of all the time, especially Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and if they were smart they would use open documents spreadsheets, but all these office formats, which are useful if you're having fancy formatting, but if you just need the information to be able to convert to plain text and manipulate it that way is super duper useful, you can script out anything you want now, you can make your own GUI interface that uses the shell as the back end, and with this particular program you can pipe the standard out and go right into, you don't even need to create a CSV file separately.

Daily Tech News Show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you, including Jeffrey Zilx, Tony Glass, and Phillip Less. Coming up on DTNS, why Sheryl Sandberg really left Meta, and who is replacing her. Plus, is Amazon inviting you to try to buy a game console in a good way? And how export rules are affecting Russian tech? This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, June 2nd, 2022 at Los Angeles on Tom Maron. And from Studio Redmond, I'm Sarah Lane. And deep in the heart of Texas, I'm Justin Robert Young. And the show's producer, Roger Chang. Oh, my friends, we have so much to get to. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Amazon will stop supplying Kindle e-readers to retailers in China starting next year. The Kindle China e-book store will stop sales on June 30th, 2023, with the Kindle app removed in China in 2024. Amazon says this was part of an adjustment of its strategic focus, not a result of government pressure, and that its other businesses in China will continue. ExpressVPN announced its pulling servers out of India, saying it cannot comply with recent regulatory changes that require VPN providers to record personally identifiable user information and store it for five years. ExpressVPN says it designs its servers to run in RAM specifically so that they cannot log information. The company will still offer virtual Indian servers that will be physically located in Singapore and the UK. ExpressVPN does this for more than 40 countries. In those cases, the IP address is for the country that you want to connect to, such as India, but the server itself is located in a different country such as Singapore. Valve delayed the launch of its Steam Deck display dock citing supply shortages and COVID-related work stoppages. The company said it's working on improving the situation but gave no real estimate on when it might ship, though it did clarify that the dock delay will not impact Steam Deck console production. Visa and SafariCom have launched the M-Pesa Global Pay Visa Virtual Card that lets users of M-Pesa make digital payments globally. If you don't know M-Pesa, you have not been following my shows because I am one of the people who tries to remind people that M-Pesa has been around since 2007. It was the first widely used mobile payment system. Kenya was in front of all of us on this. It lets users of feature phones even. Mostly people have smartphones now, but back then feature phones make cash deposits at participating merchants and then pay by phone at now nearly 400,000 merchants. 51 million people use M-Pesa, by the way it's spelled M-P-E-S-A, 30 million of those 50 million are in Kenya itself. The new Virtual Card will let M-Pesa users make payments worldwide. SafariCom also has payment partnerships with PayPal, AliExpress and Western Union. Google disabled RCS ads that's rich communication services ads in India saying that some businesses are abusing our anti-spam policies. RCS's business messaging feature allows verified businesses to send messages with interactive features and images. Users in India reported a recent deluge of RCS spam ads, pushing things like credit cards and gambling apps. All right, let's try to get a game console, shall we? If we go to Amazon, there's a new way to try. Indeed there is. Amazon has devised the way to buy game consoles because it's so hard to do it otherwise that are in short supply all over the world. In the US for the PS5 and the Xbox Series X that are fulfilled by Amazon, you can now sign up for an invitation to buy them.   When consoles come in, stock invitations will be sent out and you'll have 72 hours to make your purchase. You might say, cool, sounds great. Then I just get one, right? Well, not everybody's going to get one because they're still in high demand. Amazon didn't clarify how it's exactly selecting which genuine accounts are actually getting those invites, only saying it won't be able to grant everyone's request. Amazon also said this should help reduce price gouging and allow genuine customers to purchase genuine products at genuine prices. Any customer with an account can request an invite. Again, not restricted to Amazon Prime users. It is available now for the PS5. In fact, I went ahead and gave myself a request and invite just to see if I get one. Within the next few days for the Xbox Series X as well. Yeah.  We're going to look at your purchase history. How long ago you created the account, et cetera, and we're going to try to make sure that genuine people get a chance to buy. Not just the person with the fastest browser. I would like to know a few more details. Why they're not telling me it's first come first serve or within a certain time period it's a random draw that you might get. Or how long have you had an Amazon account or all those? I have a suspicion why, Tom. Why is that? I suspect that the exact same data that allows them to profile you so they are showing you relevant products and in the relevant order. So you are going to buy them is probably a lot of the same data that they are going to use to determine whether or not you genuinely want a PS5 or an Xbox Series X. And they might not want to share either for competitive purposes or to weird out the normies exactly how much data and what they are going to use for that. But I suspect, Sarah, like you mentioned that the key here is identifying you as a genuine purchaser and not a reseller. And that's really to me where this either flies or dies. Because if it's just another avenue for resellers to to get more inventory so they can sell at higher prices, then this is not so good. If it is a way that you can say, hey, look, this isn't the Christmas season anymore. If you're waiting on this for a birthday, then this might not be it. But if you genuinely want to buy this thing and you got the money and we believe based on our data in your browsing history that you are indeed somebody who uses this as your main account, then look, we'll put you in the lottery. And at a certain point, we will we'll give you a fair and free transaction on this. If that's the case, that's an interesting. Yeah, that's an interesting because I wondered the same thing. It's like, I mean, I'm a very prolific Amazon user by all the things from Amazon. Is it a lot of gaming stuff? No, it isn't. I mean, certainly some hardware, podcasting equipment, that sort of thing. But mostly, no, more household items. I wonder how much they will weight that sort of thing. If does Sarah actually seem like somebody who wants that? I think considering they have not said this is first come first serve or this is a lottery that is determined like each bucket fills up over a two week period. And then we start doling them out. My suspicion is that they might indeed be doing exactly that. But all right, Sarah, you passed the test. You are indeed a genuine Amazon user. But have you ever bought Horizon Zero, Don? Have you ever bought another Sony? Have you ever bought the last of us? Because if you did, then maybe we would put you forward because we're positive we're going to sell to the Sarah like. But what if I'm getting into gaming for the first time? I deserve it as much as anybody else. Well, that's the problem is we don't know. So we don't know if that's what they're doing. And yes, Amos point out in our Twitch chat that that not knowing helps keep people from gaming the system. But there are plenty of ways to let you know how the selection is made without letting people game the system. That the best one is to say it is a random drawing. We are not considering anything but random numbers. We're not going to tell you the period in which we choose. You don't have to say anything. Just say it's random. We're not preferring anyone. And I'll feel good about that. I'll be like, OK, I like my chances. It does feel like Amazon's trying to make it sound like everyone should get one as long as inventories hold up. But we can't promise that. But but hopefully all legitimate people will get one. Even new people to gaming like you, Sarah. Yeah. But but what if they're not? Yeah. What I want to sell units. So we're going to have people self identify and the people that based on our data are the most likely to buy within the shortest amount of time are the ones who are going to get it first. Yeah. I mean, if you sign up for an invite, you're probably likely to buy. So I don't think they're going to have any problems there. Sarah, are you going to buy?   That's why I want to be invited. That's for sure. I mean, I probably will buy one just because I know it's hard. And I don't think Amazon's going to get stuck with a PS5 because too many Sarah signed up and didn't buy it. Yeah, just to see. And we didn't mean it. No, it's it's it. Listen, the PS5, if I am granted it, will end up in my living room or someone else's. That's that's you'll resell it on eBay for more. Nothing like that.   All right. Just like Amazon, we can't grant every request someone makes. But earlier today, I asked on Twitter, what do you want to hear us talk about on DTS and Matt Neuschatz asked nicely if we'd cover the story about Russian tech companies getting hit by sanctions. So Jerry, let's do that. You asked Matt, we answered response to export restrictions to Russia imposed by the EU, UK and the US in February. Intel, Samsung, TSMC and Qualcomm, along with other time when these companies have stopped selling chips, both to Russia and Belarus. So I want as a signatory to the Wasunar agreement in which 42 countries, by the way, including Russia and Belarus, are signed up in order to promote responsible trade in conventional arms and dual use technologies. Dual use covers, electronics, computers, telecommunications, sensors, lasers and Mueller. This week, Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs published details on what is allowed and not allowed under that agreement. So, Tom, what are these restrictions? These restrictions are harsh because they were set under the Wasunar agreement when Yeltsin signed it in the 90s. Companies may not sell chips to Russia or Belarus that are faster than 25 megahertz. Oh, my God. With a performance, the performance can't pass five gigaflops. And Tom's hardware pointed out that the PlayStation 2 peaked at 6.2 gigaflops. There are other restrictions. You can't have more than 144 pins. No more than 2.5 megabit megabyte per second external data transfer rate. There's there's a couple others in there, too, but you get the idea. The rules also prevent selling the equipment that you use to make chips that would exceed these limits as well. The Financial Times, Anna Gross and Max Satan reported on how these restrictions are affecting Russian companies. Russia consumes less than one percent of the world's semiconductors, which limits the immediate impact of the restrictions. I bet you all those restrictions were blazing fast to Yeltsin. And he was for vodka's in at 11 o'clock in the morning. But conditions, by the way, are changing. However, companies have been pulling their apps from being hosted outside of Russia. This combined with Russian laws requiring local storage of citizens data has caused a boom in demand for cloud services from Russian companies like Yandex, VK Cloud Solutions and Cyber Cloud. Those companies are requesting help from the government in finding the servers that they need to expand. But where are they going to get these chips? Yeah, this one's a Russian dill of a pickle. Russia's domestic chip companies rely on foreign foundries, so they have domestic companies, but MCST and Baikal, for example, used to get their chips produced at foundries in Taiwan and Europe. Both those companies and another one in Russia called JSC Micron were importing chips from SMIC in China, Intel in the US and Infineon in Germany. MCST has announced it will produce its Elbrus chip at JSC Microns, Russian foundries. However, there's a problem. Elbrus was produced on TSMC 16 nanometer process. JSC Microns most advanced node is 90 nanometers. So if you can't make the chips, which sounds like a stretch, you can't get companies to sell to you. Well, Justin, there's only one solution. Indeed, if you don't like the rules, make your own. Russian now allows its domestic companies to parallel import servers, cars, phones and semiconductors without the consent of trademark or copyholders. Copyright holders, meaning Russian companies can get items from unauthorized gray market sellers without violating Russian law. But no matter what market you're talking about, there still is that dang chip shortage. So those sources are not as plentiful as they were before the lockdowns and COVID, which is why 5G rollouts have halted as mobile companies by whatever 4G equipment they can on the secondary market. Yeah, Russia is having a problem with 5G and chips in general that Sarah's having getting a PS5. You can go to the secondary market and it might not be, it might be a little shady, but you're going to pay a lot more and they might not have them either. This this parallel market thing is interesting. If you didn't quite catch it, most countries have laws put on the books that say you can't buy from unauthorized sellers if you're importing. So that's that's the gray market where you buy a TV. But if you're not buying the Samsung TV from Samsung, you might not get a warranty and it might actually be illegal for you to import it. Russia got rid of all those rules and said, yeah, get that Kazakhstan import export business to buy one legitimately from the United States and then ship it to you and we won't stand in the way anymore. Yeah, you know, I mean, look, I think that among the ripple effects that have happened since the war in Ukraine, the economic ones are probably going to be among the most non war related that will linger in the global market. And Russia is having to adjust for the fact that this is going on for a lot longer than people thought it was going to. Yeah, and I don't think anybody really knows what impact this is going to have. These these kinds of things always have less significant impact than some people think, you know, people find other ways to get around rules that they find other ways to get by without the stuff they can't get. People are ingenious in that way. And so it's it's hard to predict when there really will be an impact and what that will be. My guess is you're going to see a lot fewer new companies start because a lot of more energy is going to be going into procuring the things to keep existing stuff going into starting something new. Yeah. Hey, folks, if you have a thought about this or anything else on the show, but you don't know our email address, let me fix that. It is feedback at DailyTechNewsShow.com. We'd love to hear from you. Please email us. On yesterday's show, we briefly noted that Metta COO Cheryl Sandberg posted on Facebook that after 14 years with the company, she will step down this autumn, although she will remain on Metta's board. She says she wants to focus on philanthropic work. So who's taken over her role? Metta's chief growth officer, Javier Olivan, will take over as COO in the autumn, has been with the company for 15 years, assumed the CGO title five months ago. Nobody held that before, by the way. So it was, you know, a new title for the company. However, Olivan's role won't be identical to Sandberg's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg said, quote, I don't plan to replace Cheryl's role in our existing structure. And quote, what does that mean? Well, Zuckerberg wants to integrate business and product, which are separate right now. Olivan will take over integrated ads and business products while continuing to run infrastructure, integrity, analytics, marketing and corporate development. Also growth. So who is Javier Olivan? Tom, I think he did a bit of a deep dive this morning. Yeah, I looked around, you know, I looked at more than his Wikipedia article. But here's the gist of it. Olivan is from Spain. He got a degree in electrical engineering. And then in 2007, went back to school at Stanford and got a business degree. He led the international expansion of Facebook from 2007 to 2011. Thanks to those efforts, 91 percent of its monthly users now come from outside the US and Canada. That was not the case when he started on that project in 2007. Quite the opposite. In 2013, Olivan started working on internet.org. If you remember, that's Facebook's effort to bring free internet to developing countries and then got them to sign up for Facebook. That boost Facebook usage abroad quite a bit as well. And by 2015, it had connected seven million users who were not previously online. He also led the push for Facebook to acquire WhatsApp in 2014. So he has been important within, but don't expect to get to know him. He has a much lower profile than Cheryl Sandberg. CMBC points out that Sandberg has 900,000 followers on Instagram. Olivan has 17 and his profile is private. You can't follow him even if you want to unless he approves it.  So, Sarah, who do we think might fill Sandberg's gap there? Yeah, well, you know, it remains to be seen. But it seems like Andrew Bosworth, who's commonly known as Bos, who's been at Facebook for some time, will take up at least some of the slack for the public facing aspects of Sandberg's role. He was once Sandberg's partner in Facebook's ad business, now leads the metaverse related efforts, whatever they may be. And Sandberg pointed out to the verge that Metis president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, is also leading the effort to promote Metis safety efforts, especially regarding the metaverse. So it does seem that as much as Olivan is going to be a very key role here, it might be a role that a few other people who are already on the team can absorb some of. Yeah, Sandberg was ads on Facebook, ads on Facebook is not the future of Metis. Hence, they changed their name to Metis. The future is whatever the metaverse ends up to being. So Bosworth seems like the heir apparent for the public facing non Mark Zuckerberg role. As far as Sheryl Sandberg, lots of exact companies, lots of exacts leave companies and claim they want to pursue philanthropic efforts. Many of them do. Some of them don't. Some philanthropic efforts turn into political efforts because those realms cross Sandberg worked for the secretary of the Treasury and the Clinton administration from nineteen ninety six to two thousand one. Do you get any sense she might enter the politics, politics, politics? Irina, Justin, I got a couple conspiracy theories for you. OK, why this could have happened if we are going to only look at it in a political lens, let's understand that everything is almost certainly more complicated than that and everything that's gone on inside of Facebook is what goes on inside of Facebook. Although I will say that the future of Facebook is still ads on Facebook. It's just figuring out where the meta owned property ads can go. They are still an advertising company, I think, through and through that being said. I got a Sandberg left because they want to prepare for an uncertain political future conspiracy theory. And I have a Sandberg left because she wants to have a political career theory. Which one do you want first? I don't know. Sarah, you choose the political career. All right. She is very plugged in in politics. Charles Sandberg is like you like you pointed out. She came from the Clinton tree before she went into tech. Tech and democratic politics have been very side by side over the last 10 years. She is an icon specifically with her lean in book. If she wanted to step in to a very high profile position in democratic politics, she might only have to look to the 88 year old Diane Feinstein, who over the last few months, there's been a lot of little articles coming out that I've found to be a bit odd with unnamed sources that had to come from within the democratic party insinuating in fairly blunt terms that she might not be all there mentally, one of them detailed Chuck Schumer trying to have a private conversation with her about stepping down only for him to reinstigate the same conversation two weeks later. And she didn't remember the first one that's about as ugly as it gets when you're when it's inside the tent, like it seems to be sourcing wise. So if she knows that at a certain point sooner rather than later, there is going to be an opening there and whether or not she has to wait a few years to run in the in a statewide election and kind of do a make Whitman sort of thing. Or she is plugged in enough that she can get appointed to take over Diane Feinstein's senatorial role that might be a reason why she would leave. Yeah. And even if you find it tasteless to speculate on Feinstein's health at 88, she could step down for all kinds of reasons. Right. For get about why. Because it's certainly within the realm of possibility that Senator Feinstein steps down, at which point, Sandberg might be an excellent. And by the way, she already won re-election two years ago. Chuck Grassley, who's also 88 from Iowa, is currently running for re-election. So nobody knows anything. I just found it odd. Yep. Yep. Those stories would be bubbling up when normally, especially age on the day, on any kind of political side, people close ranks because nobody wants to get pushed out. Yeah. And what's the other one? We've long thought that companies, Facebook is one of them, are going to face a rocky road ahead politically in terms of deregulation and other kinds of interactions from the federal government. If you are going through that and you are Mark Zuckerberg, do you want somebody who is as partisan, defined as Cheryl Sandberg at as high of a level as she was? Now, this would probably have to double with some kind of internal conflict. But that would be if I'm recklessly speculating only through the political lens that maybe knowing that there might be a 230 fight coming, there might be a breakup Facebook fight coming. And both parties for various different reasons are upset with you for various different reasons. Do you want to have somebody like Sandberg as high in the company? At which point do you think Clegg is the one that takes up that mantle? I think somebody that does not have gigantic political donations on their record and public advocacy would be the very boring. But politically savvy, even if they don't have that on their side. Yes. Yes. You need to know how to how to maneuver, but you need to know how to take a picture next to Ted Cruz. The same way you take a picture next to Elizabeth Warren. Yeah, I don't get the sense that that's Olivaan in any way. They moved him into this position, as Sarah pointed out, five months, they created this position five months ago. This is a plan. They knew Cheryl had a plan to leave. They planned to put Olivaan in a newly designed role suited to his strengths that leaves some of these other things that Cheryl did to other people. So it just remains to be seen. Who gets to pick up those things? Is it Nick Clegg? Is it Bosworth? Is it somebody else? And and I'll be very curious to see if Senator, I mean, Cheryl Sandberg is is just doing philanthropic works or something more. That sounds weird to me. Let me just say that like Cheryl Sandberg is such a name and has so much money that if she wanted to, she said that she was leaving because of the the upcoming overturning of Roe versus Wade and she wanted to be more philanthropic, philanthropically dialed in on that issue specifically. If she wanted to step out and start an advocacy organization that directly did that today, she could. She's got the money. It makes perfect sense. And you don't have to add anything on top of that for it to make sense. Yeah. No. Well, y'all, you might be familiar with the Orba, $100 little synthesizer. It looks kind of like a hockey puck, also a looper, also a MIDI controller. Very cool. I have heard from some of my audiophile friends that it can be kind of hard to use. But if you're good at it, you are good at it. Now, Orba's parent company, Artifone, has released the Orba 2, a very similar looking model with eight touchpads across the top, built-in speaker, synth engine, which was recently opened up for anybody to design their own patches and now supports sample playback so you can record your own samples using the Orba app on your phone and then turn that into a preset that can be played. You want to go to barbecue and impress all your friends. Yada, yada. Orba 2 can also handle a 128 bar loop. That's up from eight bars for the original. I've got five minutes of music total. This is all for a new price of $150. Oh, that's not bad. Actually, yeah, that's a fun little thing. I know we got some junkies out there who are going to pick one of these up. Let us know. Send us your compositions. I want to hear these. Indeed. All right, let's check out the mailbag. So we got a good one from Vince. Vince wrote in, listen to our conversation about Tweetdex Mac OS app being retired from Twitter. We talked about it yesterday. It was Scott Johnson. Vince noted it was mentioned that other companies such as Discord aren't retiring their native apps. Vince says, a key factor I didn't hear brought up and I think might be of interest is that companies like Discord have been adopting hybrid frameworks over the last few years, which allow our right once run anywhere experience. These apps are entirely written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. So code and skills are more transferable within web development organizations. Examples are Electron. That's what Twitch and VS Code use. React Native, Facebook Messenger and Discord use that. Yeah. Why? I don't know that they would have had to retire the Mac OS app in order to do this, but it was what I was circling around yesterday, which was the Mac OS app was just the website in Mac OS in a native app. And what Vince is pointing out is like, they really could have it just be the same exact code. And if they're wanting to rebuild Tweetdex on the web quite a bit, it would be easier to just focus on the web, create that, then turn that into either an electron or a reactor or something like that without having to maintain the Mac OS app. That said, they definitely made a lot of enemies. I saw people I respect out there very upset that this is going away. And whether they ever bring it back or not, I have no idea. But it would be easy enough to do that if they are rebuilding the web Tweetdex with an eye towards what Discord and Twitch do. So hopefully they do that.

All right. What is your opinion on the anti-vaccine, anti-vaccine movement and the measles outbreak in New York City? Are the mandatory vaccines justified? I mean, this is a complex issue. I mean, I mean, generally, I think the anti-vaccines from everything I've seen, from everything I know, is not based on science. So, while there might be some negative side effects to anti-vaccines, sorry, to vaccines, the benefits way outweigh the negatives of it. On the other hand, I also find it troubling that the government has an ever-increasing list of vaccines that they force children to take. You know, I don't think the government is responsible for the health of children. And therefore, I don't think the government should be dictating, you know, the kind of level and extent of the vaccine. I mean, I wasn't vaccinated against a lot of these childhood diseases because the vaccines didn't exist. So, I had the childhood diseases. They're unpleasant. You know, I remember being taken to, in a sense, chickenpox parties to meet people who had chickenpox. So, I would get it because getting it as a child was viewed as far less damaging than getting it as an adult, which I think is right. So, I can understand. So, a lot of these childhood diseases are not life-threatening and are not absolutely disastrous, particularly if you get them as kids versus if you get them as adults. So, I think that where the government should intervene is in contagious diseases that are clearly life-threatening. Now, everything would be simpler if we had private property and we had private schools because you could imagine that in a private school system, the school would say, here are the vaccination requirements. You don't meet them. You don't go in the school. And I think 99.9 percent of schools would do that. And parents would know if they sent their kids to school that didn't have that requirement, that their kids were taking a risk because they wouldn't hang out with other kids. Now, what about playgrounds? Well, I don't see any reason why playgrounds couldn't have the same basic deal. Playgrounds would be private after all. And you could have a sign outside of the playground that said, this playground is for vaccinated kids only. And I think that would be rational and the right thing to do.   But again, I think a lot of that is taking care of through the schools. I think the schools are the primary place in which these kind of viruses get transmitted from one to the other. And I think the solution is to privatize the schools. Short of privatizing the schools, I think the government gets to decide what the government decides because they are the equivalent of the owners of the schools. They get to decide what the curriculum is and they do get to decide what the curriculum is. They certainly have the ability to decide what to do in terms of vaccination policies with these schools. So I think it should be done in the schools. I think it should be clear that unvaccinated kids should not be playing in a playground. And if an unvaccinated kid is in the playground, they should be liable for a lawsuit. If my kid gets infected, some vaccines don't work 100% on some children. So there should be mechanisms in place to, on the one hand, leave people free not to vaccinate the kids and, on the other hand, have them pay the consequences, pay the price of not vaccinating the kids, for example, not being able to get into school and things like that. Not being able to play in the playground. It's one of those things that should be common in a world like that. You'd expect it to be common to ask before play date to ask the parent of the kids what the kid vaccinated. Now, my view is in a rational world that almost all the parents would vaccinate the kids because, again, I think the benefits outweigh the costs. If you look at all the scientific research I've seen, that, yeah, I mean, I'm not saying vaccines 100% safe. I'm not saying that they don't have, they don't have potential downsides. But in comparison to the benefits, I think there's no question.


So, pleasure, the pursuit of pleasure, is a distractive device, and is also a device that really anchors the mind that the body is real, and it seems to be very attractive. This is what the Course refers to as the attraction of guilt. The deceived mind does not see, does not equate guilt and pleasure. Pleasure is seen as something very desirable, it's something to be sought after, and something good.    God does not know about the physical, projected world. God only knows his creations, or his creation which is the Sun, and he knows him as perfect. And this is a pure, abstract, infinite relationship that has nothing to do with form in any way. So when we get down to the ego using the body for pleasure, pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain, basically the mind is unaware that they're the same, that by pursuing pleasure, one is also pursuing pain. The pleasure is a guise. Yes, you know, this we've talked about the pursuit of wealth in this world and the belief in poverty and lack, you know, in a material sense. And these are many forms of the same kind of split, the same guise, that if I'm poor and lacking and it's a world of scarcity and so forth, that I can yearn for a better day and in better times and more possessions and an easier life, so to speak, or those that actually do seem to accumulate and build up the things of the world that are supposed to bring the good life, but still feel the pain and the anguish and the depression. We still find the same thing that the mind is still seeking for happiness, peace, contentment in the world, and it's just seeking in the wrong place. It's in the mind and letting go of the false beliefs where the peace and contentment, happiness come. So that's a quick look at pleasure. Attack is something that is very important as a defense against the truth. It's a witness that separation has occurred. To truly see that separation is impossible seems to be at bay or at odds with what the body's eyes show, because as one looks around the world through the body's eyes in a distorted perception, one sees attack in many different forms, verbal attack, physical attack, guns, tanks, bombs, weapons, knives, arguments at all areas and levels, verbal abuse. It seems to be a world where attack is the common experience. The mind cannot attack. The mind is abstract. The mind is one. It can only make up body fantasies where attack seems to be real. Ego uses the body for attack and it's a fantasy of attack. It definitely makes guilt seem real, that if attack is real, it's perceived as real, then guilt, then it's justified. And if guilt is justified, how can one be wholly innocent? How can one be the wholly innocent child of God as one was created? It's all made up. And it's just on the screen that once again the deceived mind wants to see the conflict, not in the mind, but in the world and it actually, under the Ego's counsel, will look for it in the world. Now this is not to say that wars per se or sports games per se or a verbal abuse or anything is evil or bad, because once again it's the interpretation that has to be looked at. A healed mind can calmly look upon any site in the world. The body's eyes will still report to the mind changes in circumstances, changes in the way things look and symptoms and so on and so forth. But the healed mind just puts them all into one category, that they are unreal. And once again you have to really have a clear metaphysical idea of why this is so, of why sicknesses must be impossible, of why competition cannot be in the world, of why there can't be victims and victimizers in the world, that it's all in the mind and it all comes down to that subject-object split. So it's because it's all unreal that the Course says, for instance, that the world is neutral, that it's neither good nor bad, that it all has to do with how the mind looks up on it. Because it's all really just a projection route for sure in the mind anyway. To the Holy Spirit, the world is neutral. Because remember, it's just a screen, it's just a projection, it's, these are just symbols that it can use for its purpose. So in that sense the world is neutral and the Holy Spirit can use the world for its purpose. To the deceived mind, the world is not neutral because it is chosen to order the thoughts that make up the world in a configuration or a construct that literally make it seem real and literally make it seem that instead of dreaming the world, that it is now a figure in the world. It's a little dream figure and it's gotta, it's a person. It's gotta, you know, do things and defend its life and everything. So in the, to the deceived mind, the world is anything but neutral. It is judged and ordered it. It's always good or bad. It's something in between. I mean, it's always something. It's never just neutral. Right. To the deceived mind. Now in the miracle we have, the miracle is a glimpse, is a, is like a reminder, a remembering of the neutrality, of the unreality of the world. There's a sense of easiness and of just the gentle watching because the mind is seen to be the dreamer and there's a real detachment in the miracle. The mind is literally, there's been a choice to give the mind over to Jesus or over to the Holy Spirit to align with the right mind. And there's great detachment that comes because there's no longer a control issue of trying to control what's happening on the screen. It's just a, I'm being able to look upon things with, with gentleness without judgment. Talk about judgment a little bit because that is that, that attempt to control what's on the screen is done through judging. Yes. Everything that seems to pass before these eyes. Yes. And judgment, I think in a more of a common term, you know, judging your brother a lot of times is, is associated with condemnation, putdowns, superior or inferior kinds of things, making unequal. And that's the common usage, you know, letting, I've got to give it my grievances. I've got to quit judging, my criticizing and so forth. Judgment goes much deeper than that. But, but I think if we follow that idea of judgment is, is to make unequal, make appear unequal what is equal. The sonship is one. And a metaphor for this world is that every, everyone or every brother is equal. I think when we talk about judgment, we bring it back to the deeper levels, we get to that sense of ordering thoughts, that this is judgment. There, a condemnation or criticism is a sense of, of an ordering or judging, you know, of better than thou or so on and so forth. But when we pull it back to the more subtle realms, we see that the entire projection of thoughts, my thoughts are images that I have made, that the world is nothing more than projection of thoughts. That is the ordering of those thoughts that maintains the illusion of the reality of the world. So any kind of ranking in my mind is an ordering of thoughts is a judgment. Yes. So it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter if what I'm looking at and judging ranking comes out in the top position or in the bottom position, whether it's a one or a 10, it's still judgment. So a 10 is just as much judgment as the one is what you're saying. Yes. That, that any ordering of thoughts, or if we use the, the line from the, from the laws of chaos, a hierarchy of illusions. This is precisely what judgment is, is making a hierarchy of illusions. If I rate and, and rank some illusions as more important than other illusions, then, then how will there be an awareness that they're all just an illusion? They're equally illusionary or illusory. So basically this is where this is the core of, of judgment is this ranking. It's also the reason why the course talks about how important it is, the relinquishment of judgment in the teacher's manual. And also the very first principle of the 50 miracle principles is that there is no order of difficulty in miracles. And at some point in the course, Jesus is saying that if, you know, if you can get the first principle, then the rest of this course would be easy, because this is literally the principle that, that the ego defends against. That to the ego, there is enormous order of difficulty that in following the spiritual path and trying to see the Christ in everyone, trying not to, to order and judge situations and events, that is what the ego is, is trying to hold on to. That's what is bread and butter. It's that very ordering that holds the world intact for the ego. Yes. For the disabled mind. Yes. So, you know, I've used the example, for instance, of going to a restaurant and that you've gone to a number of times. And for instance, you like their cherry cheesecake.  We were out of cherry cheesecake. And an experience of, of disappointment or deprivation or whatever, once again, gets into this ordering of thoughts. So the cherry cheesecake in some way was raised up or lifted up or part of the construct of the concept of the person. For instance, I like cherry cheesecake is as opposed to pecan pie or, you know, ice cream or whatever. And you can see from that example a little bit about what we're talking about. It's not that you have to go around judging or condemning or cursing the vanilla ice cream or whatever. But, but if it is ranked lower than the cherry cheesecake, we have a, there's an order of preference. And it's part of the hierarchy of illusions that literally the self concept is a construct of ordered thoughts. I like sunny days more than rainy days. I like warm climates more than cool climates.   I like these television shows better than this. It's, it's all part of the ordering and the ranking. And this is the judgment that holds the world up. These are the stilts underneath the projection of the world that if you took the stilts away, then the world would would collapse or fall away and fade away.


Welcome back. Time to talk football right here on the breakfast. It's a season of football, of course, with the African Nations Cup ongoing in Cameroon. But we cannot forget about the World Cup Qatar 2022 is around the corner. And as far as the African qualifying process is concerned, the teams are now at the playoff stage. And we've been served an interesting menu, Ghana versus Nigeria, one country only out of the two to go to the next World Cup. We have joining us live via Zoom on the breakfast right here on PlusCB Africa, Sports Journalists and Communications Director Van Drezer Football Club, Mighty George. Mighty George, it's great to have you back on the breakfast. It's going to be here as well. Thanks for having me. I was going to start with a question, Ghana versus Nigeria, who will win? But I don't know if I should ask you that question because I think you already know what answer you will give. But I'm Ghanaian by parentage. I was born in Nigeria. Oh, wow. Okay. So you better watch your answer. But who will win at the end of the day? Like you said, the answer already. The funny thing is that both teams are trying to get their acts together after, you'd say, you know, a competition's mishap. Ghana only leaving one state before Nigeria, who had the most promising team. And this has actually failed field of rivalry. The rivalry is always quite exciting. Sometimes it gets very dirty on social media. But there's a two great football insights. But the thing that they have in common now is that they get to decide on who the coach will be. So the coach would actually determine the sort of players that will be invited and the sort of strategies that will be used. It's a good thing. It's a double header. It's over two legs, the first leg on the 2016 Ghana. And then four days later, actually, 24th and then 28th. So there's that opportunity for both sides to put up a good performance on all the soil. But like I said, they need to first have a coach. And then, you know, we'll see where they go from there. But Nigeria, obviously, since we started qualifying for the World Cup in 1994, you know, we've missed only one. That was in 2006, which, of course, that's Angola misfortune. But ever since then, it's almost been like our best fight for Ghana. Well, they're just afraid to qualify for the World Cup. It's become a bomb now for Ghana, not to qualify for the World Cup. But I'm sure that desperation will be there this time to qualify. And what a match of this prediction. Obviously, I'd say Nigeria, because of what we showed in the group stage of the Afghan, it shows that we have the players, you know, the technicalities as well, to get past Ghana. But who pilots the team? It's a big question now. This is West Africa and Derby, if you want to call it, these are two English speaking nations in West Africa who have a lot in common. You know, and what they say usually is that Derby's don't follow the form guide. Ghana abysmal at the Nation's Cup. Going out, as you said, in the group stage is losing to a first-timer, Komoros of all nations at the Nation's Cup. Nigeria didn't play badly, but also a bit disappointing, but fed way better than the Ghanians at the Nation's Cup. And the team seems to be, you know, okay. Do you expect that the form of both nations at the African Nation's Cup will still reflect in this playoff? Well, recent form, of course, you definitely get into that. I think so, I think so. And that's why I'm very particular about the coach of the side. Remember, I in interviews with the Super Bowl players, they did say, we're playing better on the positive level because he gives us a freedom of expression that we didn't have, you know, on the general throw. By the way, we're hearing might just be coach of, you know, Ghana, which is, you know, that will be very, very interesting to see the former coach of, you know, Nigeria will be the coach of Ghana. So it depends on that coach. It definitely depends on, you know, who handles the team, and if they can still give them that room to play and express themselves. It's a new look, super e-goals, very much different from what we saw in the past three years. Even though Ghana draws from getting the job done, this guy's also got a job done, and they felt to, you know, and experience that as well. Let's give it to Tunisia. They won the tournament about twice. They had no push over. So it was just a battle of who, you know, which mentality and also which then tacticality progressed at the end of the day. And Nigeria's obviously have a better form for Ghana. I don't know how they're going to regroup right now. Let's talk about, you know, bringing back as a man again. There's still a lot of time for us, you know, some days ago. So they still need to structure that team because obviously what happened in Cameroon was a show of shame. It showed that the Ghanaians was not, it was not a team. You shouldn't look to the cameras. So they have more work to be done. The Ghanaians, but like you said, it's a West African team. And even the least prepared team, when it comes to that day, they know that, oh, I'm facing Nigeria, I'm facing Ghana. So it's going to be a very, very tough one. But Nigeria on paper obviously looked like, you know, the better side and we're happy of our hands. Who knows. All right. All right. We can take this officially as a wager, or bet between you and I. And you and Lagos, I mean Lagos. So let's see if Nigeria wins, I will. I also win when Nigeria wins. But because of this, I'll buy you lunch at any restaurant of your choice in Lagos. And if Ghana wins, you buy me lunch at any restaurant of my choice in Lagos. Yeah, yeah, I will. I mean, you get to choose what you want. I should be able to choose what I want from you, right? Absolutely. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And Mighty George is a sports journalist and of course, a communications director of Vandreza FC with excellent, excellent analysis right here. We're always glad to have you and hope to have you next time, George. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. All right. And that's the size of a package on the breakfast this morning. It's been an amazing time with you. An amazing week with several interesting conversations all through as the weekend is upon us. But we'll return on Monday for a fresh week of discussions right here on Plus TV Africa from all of us here at our studio. So what is it? Thank you very much for your time. Do well to follow us online on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and of course, on YouTube to catch up with our amazing content. We have such good research for Plus TV Africa. My name is Kofi Battels. Keep watching.


It's D.K. and I'm back today with another video. Choose how to use it to an end. If you want to win, smash that subscribe button, give me a thumbs up, and do not skip those ads. In today's video, we did three orders on the dispatch app and made $396. Guess what? I got my game from a scholar. Here's number one and two. I know what we about to do, about to get busy, and I'm glad you guys are with me. Order number one is 36 panels, 33.7 miles for $116.91, about to put up and get the job done. Order number two is 13 panels, 49.9 miles for $134.82. Getting money is what we do. Let's go. Ken, good morning, brother. What's going on? I'm living a dream. I can't complain. If I did, I'd be lying. So this is our second order right here. This joint kind of big, baby. Y'all see what's going on. I think I'm gonna take these boxes and put them in the van first. And then over here, we have order number, oh no, we're trying to get our pockets fat like some all. This is the one we're gonna drop off first, 13 panels. Right here. Without that out first, we're gonna jump off the second one. We're gonna keep on moving and grooving. If you hate it, you probably lose, and let's go. My God, Ken, about to pull it in so we can get it in, baby. He's about to pull it in. Let's go, let's go. Just like that, we are here to drop off order number one. It's time for us to have a little fun and get these fun, you understand? Someone is knocking at you, so we gotta do it. Guess what, baby? It's time for the last panel. I showed y'all my animal. Now, just a question. Why did we deliver this one before we delivered that one? The reason why we delivered this one first is because it's 13 panels and that is 31 panels. And as you guys can see, no one from somewhere in this here. So at least if we give them a little bit more time, a little bit more leeway to get there, they could probably help us with this job right here. But guess what? We literally drove past this order to come to this order so we can get in order. Comment below and let me know if you understand what I'm saying. I'm about to get this last panel and I ain't playing, let's go. Let's take that back to the photo. So Mac got the photo. Who's this for, Bryce? And we're going, it's time to get it on, let's go. Guess what? For orders, oh no!  For order number one, we made 161.07! 161.07! Three out, 161.07! 161.07! We thank God for our blessings. We get that money when we're stressing, let's go! We're here to get it busy. What's going on with you, boss? Not much, man. Another day. Hey, tomorrow Friday, so hey, think about that, think about that, think about that. Now we gotta step back on it with the photo of your little smack. Oh no. What's your name, boss? Oh, JoJo. JoJo? I need to leave. My bad. No, that's not good.  Guess what? For order number two, hey, if you hate and forget you and your crew, we made 131.91! We put up and got it done and we got some funds and guess what? We going back to Sun Run. But we ain't going back to Sun Run. We going to our house first. Damn, we going back to Sun Run. Number three is 27 panels, 8.4 miles for $100. Enough money to pay the rent, let's go! You grab the end, your end. You got it? Yes. I appreciate it. No problem. JoJo, I'm saying, keep getting that money. We are here back at the warehouse to drop this order off, baby. Everything went smooth driving. Honestly, I don't like doing pickups of the panels from houses to back to the warehouse because a lot of times these panels shift. They shift a little bit down here but if we joint it too much, it's going to land on that white part and it's going to crack, baby. So I don't want no problem. I don't want to be responsible. None of this messed up, baby. I'm done, mom. I can't put it up right now. I'm about to get me right. I said you put it up right now, you're about to get me right.  Got that? We gone. And just like that, it is the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoyed the content. Today we made 396.73. Guess what, baby? We're grinding, baby. Nothing you guys on next one. We going, we going, we going. We floor you already know this, did he came? And I'm on my way.


So, we're here at Hardware Sugar and we are assembling a $90,000 custom rig for a very special customer. And, you know, we're always saying that we have drool-worthy inventory, pero kami yung napapatululaway dito sa hardware components that this guy requested. So, basically, we have an EVGA, GTX 1080 SC. So, that means it's already overclocked. You don't need to do anything with the card. Just take it into your computer and you'll enjoy the overclock speeds. Also of special mention is the NZXT H500i case. The i means that it's a smart case, or meaning that it's already integrated with a smart controller. And we're going to see this thing later with four AER RGB fans and then the included LED strip. So, we have also gotten a B360 Gaming Artic MOBO. Perfect for the Intel i5-8600. And rounding it out is a modular Corsair PSU RX 550. I was looking at the EVGA GTX 1080 box and I noticed that there's a big sign saying that if the thing is broken, don't send it back to the store. If you have been following hardware sugar, you know that we are very proud of our warranty policy one year. Just bring it back to us and we'll repair, refund or replace the item. Basically, you know, we don't make you jump through hoops. We don't ask you for the box and things like that. And that's our shop warranty. But it's refreshing to see a manufacturer actually take the time to tell its customers to say that it's okay. We got your back. You don't need to return it to wherever you got this from. We believe in our product so much that you just contact us directly for support. And kudos to EVGA. And actually, the good thing about this customer was he already knew what he wanted. He wanted a white aesthetic. So we recommend the case. He was the one who specified the MOBO. And we worked hand in hand with the customer to really give him what he wanted. It's a very special build for him. So, you know, that's really what we want from our customers. Like they have an idea in mind and will suggest some things and then we'll go back and forth. So it's really like you're customizing a car or you're customizing a hot rod. Where, you know, tell us what you want and we will get it for you. And we will suggest like what's good, what's not. And let's have a dialogue on what you want. And it doesn't need to be 90,000 pesos worth. But regardless of your price point, we can get you the PC of your dreams. And because our client is looking for the white aesthetic, he wasn't happy with the stock cooler of the i5-8600. We have gone ahead and gotten an AOI also with NZXT. This is NZXT's smallest AOI. It's the Kraken M22. And basically this is the side that you'll see. We'll have a better shot later once we install it. But this is the side that you'll see and this is all LED as well. And then this is of course the side that contacts with the CPU and the radiator. And the Kraken M22 is the smallest of the NZXT AOI. So it fits perfectly in the H500i. And the fan that attaches to the radiator is also 120mm. So that's the same size as the 80RGB fans we have. So we'll be able to use that instead of the stock fan that does not have any lights. First time we're working with NZXT products. And the nice thing about them is that they come with an integrated lighting system. These are their RGB AER RGB fans. So you notice the lights will come out from here. And if you get the proper case, if you get the i version of their cases, they come with a smart controller. And so you'll daisy chain up to five fans together. And then you'll stick the controller into the smart box controller in the case. And then you can use the NZXT CAM software to program the colors of your fans. But the smart controller is not able to talk to all of the add-ons. The smart controller talking to both the power strip and three AER RGB fans. Although based on the internet, that's not really possible. So I don't really know how our tech guys here did it. But we were able to get the... On one channel, on the LED power channel, we were able to get the power strip and the three fans talking together. Meaning that you could customize them in the CAM software of the NZXT. But again, we can't guarantee that because you're not supposed to be able to do that. Again, I don't know how we were able to do it. However, our client wanted four fans so that just wouldn't do it for the three. So we ended up getting the additional U controller. So the U controller already comes with two channels. So basically you can stick in all of your up to five fans on this channel and then all of your LED strips on this channel. So even though the i-version of the cases come with a smart controller, you probably will need to get this U controller as well. And that's a bit annoying. I thought NZXT would have a more integrated approach to the whole process. And this thing doesn't come cheap. I mean, it's like... I thought we're sure we're at 3,000 pesos. It's probably more expensive in other places. So U box does come with additional LED power strips. So you can see four of them and they are magnetic. So it's a lot easier to attach them inside the case instead of having to twist tie them or having to screw them in place or however you are using double sided tape. These are very simple and magnetic and the ends in the tops come off so that you can integrate them on one circuit. So again, NZXT has a lot of nice touches. That's why it's just a bit more frustrating that the smart controllers included in the i-cases integrated or weren't as easy to use as i initially thought. So we're about to deliver the H500i the custom rig for our client which eventually cost around 100,000 along with the AIO and the U controller. But it's a really nice rig. We had a good time doing it. Although admittedly NZXT could have done a better job of explaining how to get all of the fans working together how to get all of the LED strips working together and things like that. So it was a bit of a learning curve to be honest I thought it would be more user friendly since we decided to go with just one manufacturer for everything, for the case and for the fans and things like that. But to be honest, once we got everything going the RGB looked really nice and I'm not really a fan of RGB I mean it doesn't really add anything to the performance of the rig and things like that but once you have it going it does really look quite nice. So is it worth it? If you're into aesthetics, yes I would say so. But you really do need to research on which manufacturer you're going to get into bed with so to speak like which RGB setup are you going to install. I would recommend NZXT but that's only because I have experience with it now. If you're a first timer be sure you read a lot of the forums and things like that before jumping in with NZXT To be fair, the RGB of the RAM the Corsair RAM was pretty easy to set up Their software, the Q plus software was intuitive and you just basically plug in the RAM Really a lot it was really a lot more difficult to do the fans and the LED power strips for the case.


Light, what the heck is it? We know that it's a form of energy. We know that ultimately we're getting our light from the sun. This light energy is coming in. It's actually a form of electromagnetic radiation. And it's visible to our eyeballs because our eyes are set up to detect electromagnetic radiation with a certain wavelength. Now, take a deep breath. Light photons are particles of light except they act like waves. And because they act like waves, they have a wavelength. The wavelength is tiny. It's 400 nanometers. That's like what, a billionth of a meter to 700 nanometers.  Your eyes actually can distinguish between that 300 billionths of a meter and perceives 400 nanometer wavelength as the color purple and 700 nanometer wavelength as the color red, really? I mean, that's just incredible. Your eye perceives light based on what wavelength bounces back from an object. For example, I'm taking a look at this slide right here and I'm looking at this green background and thinking, oh, what a very lovely color that was. And also thinking, okay, white light, which is all the wavelengths put together. If you put all the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation together, 400 to 700, and then shot them all out at once, you would perceive white light. You'd perceive the color white. If they all bounced back and were reflected by the object into your eye, all of them together, then you're going to perceive white. White light is shining on this green background. And all the wavelengths, except for the green wavelength, which would be like, what, 500, all the wavelengths are absorbed into this background, except for the green one. And the green one bounces back into my eyeball, stimulates my cones in my retina, and then I perceive the color green. Right here, the white light hits that screen. All of the wavelengths are absorbed, except for the red. The red bounces back, hits me in the eye, my cones fire, and I perceive red. The colors that you perceive are actually the colors of light that bounce off of the subject you're looking at. If you perceive something as black, it means that all, there's no light that's being reflected, that all of it is being absorbed. This is relevant because the pigments in the chloroplasts, the chlorophyll, they're green, and they actually, their job is to absorb light energy, and the more light energy they can absorb, the more glucose they can produce. So they want to be really good at absorbing energy, but tell me, what color of wavelengths are they not absorbing? Green, because they appear green. Now, chlorophyll is green. There are other pigments that are found in chloroplasts that are not green, which is why you actually can get different colored leaves, obviously, but also in the fall. The chlorophyll is the first pigment to die, and then the other pigments, which are there always, but they just get masked by the massive amounts of chlorophyll, that's what you see in their reddish and orangish and yellowish, and those pigments, that's why the leaves change color. How cool is that? All right. Now we're going to go look at what is the structure in the chloroplast that absorbs this light, and the structure is called a photosystem.


Hello, I am Raghunathan Sengupta in the IME department, IIT Kanpur. The course which I am going to teach under NPTEL online program will be a great program for the students because that will give them an overall view of the different techniques which they can learn, the techniques which they can apply in different type of financial industries like banks, investment banking and considering the big use of big data analysis which is happening nowadays in different fields, especially in finance. This course would be a really a very good launching pad for the students who can apply it for different industries plus which I also think that considering there is a huge dearth of faculty members plus there is a huge pool of students who are really interested. This course would be a good bullet point in their CVs based on which they can definitely apply to different industries and gather new knowledge. Thank you.


U.S. security forces have combined with Japan's self-defense force augmenting each other's capabilities to tackle a full-scale base attack during exercise garden protect. We get to see what each other does, help each other out, and learn from each other. During the exercise, the base commanding officer was taken into hostage followed by a waterborne incursion into the Japanese pier. These challenges have set both forces to work closely together and counteract the threat. U.S. forces and Japan forces both did a great job. Working together is really necessary. Our forces take this drill very seriously, and we look forward to doing this every year and accomplish what needs to be done. Garden Protect is an exercise who wants a year testing security forces' capabilities and enhancing interoperability with Japanese counterparts. Petty Officer Claire Farron, Fleet Activities, Sasebo, Japan.


TLO what's poppin? We are on twitch.

It ain't dead.  That's why I be yelling man. Say keep yanko free. I don't care who his opps is Keep them free. I Don't know who is I was this but He's the epitome of UK drill. He is like That's it. If you get stopped up and died so you're dead friend. That's how I'm sitting negative Let's get negative Ninjo like where's my freedom they got taken like your bridge in life all my plugins do is lie I'm starting to think of another one dies.  Just like I'm pregnant ups on road. It feels like I'm in the shotgun at the police Like everything that you could do like that's what you chose like you're not getting away at that point Reason called an M that's tough And he liked it for like 28 years Step that a Joe had the crime rate soaring went right back for murder 27 years like come on, bro. I Get it that y'all live y'all raps, but at the same time Y'all don't know bread I'm a browning browning Free SJ man Like this whole movement. There might be another movement on when he get out Like he's playing as Jay was one of them ones. I Feel like I know SJ was a grown man every every everything he did was his fault But oh FB knew he was up next oh FB His management his friends his homies. They should have protected them They should have kept him insulated at all calls kept him in the studio Funny how we the laughing stock someone gets slapped on the laughing stops You blame us if we ask this not it's not handguns like gloves Are they still pulling up from the clock with the dots, but they know the gang's charged a lot So they want us charged a lot all the most talented people that's in the jails Should have seen how much good source inject all use my index with force Do you want to get nothing sources?  Don't want to be free at all. He'd go back to jail so often Oh, gee That's the first dude to ever repost me free that man She's shaggy showdown shows Hey young diss was a menace Hey, I borderline want to say hey keep that man in there not just playing freedom freedom, but like Yo So so so to the handle break and I'm not down for chase. I pretty don't blow like a see-for three You got three attempts You got three attempt is you probably in there for 20 plus. You might as well have caught the whole thing I know that's up. That's saying that I could donate or anything. I'm just saying Let me take that back let me rewind my statement three Dang congratulations to the victims for staying alive.   You did Don't apply to the questions You'll be out though Didn't they say him already? I don't think I ever heard KK Yo G where you telling me the white gets beat like melody all of zone two is locked up Dealing to grievous bodily harm If I never made it back they never were the favorite man.   They probably still do it Between me and max how much man got put in his plate if I had Denzel talking triple could be a case Aim stop 10 seconds. We said man. It worked no game. Can't we stop? Heart beat gone to the state and side not came out play push by push by rover out the street my Long easy been a jail snoop Zone two active gang they are pretty much locked up Mm As I'm saying everybody that's really like The the the best drill rappers is either locked up Or like dead I'm talking about the best Protect Janko.
