Hospital personnel are dedicated to healing and caring for the sick and the injured. But there are times when a helping hand is not in the best interest of the patients and in fact may delay their ultimate recovery. Occupational therapy concerns itself with a patient's total performance, his work, leisure, and self-care. This patient, a retired officer, is recovering from a stroke. Immediately after her stroke, she wasn't able to feed, dress, or groom herself unaided. Self-care is usually taught as soon as possible after hospitalization begins. Using many techniques and devices, occupational therapists help patients relearn basic skills. From that beginning, patients will go on to improve leisure and work skills. In a more private area, the Occupational Therapy Clinic, instruction in dressing is provided by the therapist on a one-to-one basis. With instruction, Colonel Simon is slowly regaining her independence. It is difficult to resist the temptation to step in and help, even if not helping, seems to slow you down. But in the long run, when the patient has mastered a useful skill, your job is easier. Everyone who comes in contact with the patient must provide positive reinforcement. It really is part of every treatment plan. You've got that figured out real well. Okay, now the method we're going to use to get your pajama top off is to reach behind your back, take a hold of your collar, and then gather up as much of it as you can. Pull it right over your head. There you go. Now pull it right on over your head. Very good. Now bring it on down, and you have your arm out. That was easy, wasn't it? And you did that real well. This way of dressing is one of many techniques available. The specific method will vary to meet the individual needs of each patient. Pull it on through your sleeve. Very good. Now take the shoulder seam and pull it up high up on your shoulder. That's very important that you always get it right up to the top before you try to do anything else with it. That shoulder seam is right in here. You want to put it right up on top of your shoulder. That's it. Very good. Now reach around and pull it across your back. You're getting it. That's it. Keep pulling it around. It'll come. There now. There it comes. And you'll be able to find your other arm hole in it. That's it. Very good. Now you need to straighten it all up so it looks good and feels comfortable. Doing a fine job. How's that feel? Very good. But what happens to Colonel Simon when she is back on the nursing unit? If the people on the unit aren't aware of her new skills or that she needs to practice them instead of developing self-confidence she develops a sense of helplessness and despair. What can be done to improve this situation? One thing we can all do is to become familiar with the practical techniques patients acquire in occupational therapy. For mealtimes, the occupational therapist have a whole kit of special assistive devices. This is the rocker knife. With it, a patient with only one usable arm can cut his own food. This strange-looking utensil is known as a spork, a combination spoon and fork.  A large handled fork and a plate guard can be a blessing for patients who are trying to function with less than their normal dexterity. There are many devices to help with a patient's personal hygiene. A strap on an electric shaver, an extended comb, a hand brush that mounts in the washbasin. Find out how much the patients can do for themselves and let them do it. You build their self-confidence and at the same time, the nursing staff gets more time for other patients. In the occupational therapy clinic, patients learn to do a lot of things you might think were beyond them. This man with total hip replacement is learning to put on support hose. It helps to understand the techniques and the devices used to improve patient skills. But the greatest need is to improve communication between therapy and nursing units. Every time you do something for a patient that he could have done for himself, you retard that patient's progress. Every time a patient is deprived of a chance to practice his new self-care skills, it diminishes his independence. What can be done about this problem? What are some of the ways that a patient's progress can be communicated to everyone who works with the patient? One way is with regular entries in the nursing care plan, indicating the level of the patient's ability and the techniques he has learned. The nursing care plan entries can refer to detailed documentation from occupational therapy progress notes in the patient's health care chart. Some hospitals record this information in the nursing notes or in the problem-oriented medical record. Whatever method you are using, it is essential to keep these records up to date. Follow-up conversations will help keep you informed of each patient's progress. I'd like to bring you up to date on the progress Colonel Simons has been making in OT. Oh, good. We've been working with her in getting in and out of her pajamas and her shoes and socks, and she's now able to do that all by herself. Well, that sounds great. We've been working with her on a bed so that people who work with her can just take her fresh pajamas to her and she can do it all in her own bed. Well, that sounds real good. I'll certainly pass this on to the rest of my staff. Nursing personnel going off-duty should always include the patient's progress in the change of shift report. Yes, ma'am. Sounds real good. Certainly will. Yes. Good afternoon. How are you today? Fine, yourself? Oh, just fine. Ready to go home. I was just on the telephone with occupational therapy and they called in regards to Colonel Simon and beginning this evening. Yeah. We would like for her to put her pajamas on herself and also in the morning her socks and shoes. Great. And that's extremely important that we pass this on to the remainder of the staff because we need consistency throughout all shifts. The occupational therapy patient is continually learning new skills. Skills you need to know about to give the patient the opportunity she needs to practice them. With this knowledge, you can arrange schedules to fit the patient's needs and abilities. You must anticipate these situations and allow enough time for dressing, for personal hygiene, and for meals. By letting the patient practice these daily tasks, you also provide another opportunity to build self-esteem and confidence. At the same time, you have more time for the patients who need you with them. When help is needed, it's a question of doing only what's required. This patient cannot open containers, but he can feed himself. Sometimes you can help most by helping the least. We are dedicated to caring for the patient. Yet with occupational therapy patients, too much assistance could delay their rehabilitation. One thing you can do is reinforce instructions where the patient needs it. Sometimes it's very hard not to help, especially when the patient is struggling to do something that's so easy for us. You must be aware of your patient's progress and remind yourself to let him do those things he has learned. Support better communications. Keep your records updated. Be aware of changes in status of your occupational therapy patients. And pass the word on to others. Colonel Simon has been taught in OT to get dressed. Presently she's attempting to get dressed. Will you please go in and check on her and see how she's doing? Colonel Simon has come a long way since she entered the hospital. Every step has taken her closer to her goal of leaving the hospital an independent person. Your occupational therapy patients need your support in their self-care efforts. They need the chance to develop their feelings of self-worth and well-being. It's up to you to give them that chance.


What's up guys, it's S-Fan here. So this is actually my second take of this video. The first one, I went way too long because I didn't want it to be a long video and I just started rambling about life and existence and stuff. But, so yeah, basically guys, I wanted to make this video real quick just as a channel update video and kind of talk to you guys about where I'm at, like some things that have been on my mind lately and just kind of sharing with you guys what my plans are going forward. Of course, we're here, we're on the cusp of summer. It's gonna be a classic summer of course. So people are very excited about beta release, all the stuff that's gonna come this summer and it's kind of crazy because it's been like a year and a half since my band basically and how much like my Twitch channel has grown. I kind of wanna talk about what I wanna do with my channel going forward because my channel has changed quite a bit. No changes, right? Okay, well we're gonna go back, right? We don't worry, we don't worry. No changes, we're going back and I've been doing a lot more variety and IRL and it's been essentially like my stream now is essentially like a just chatting stream where I will talk about classic and we do Reddit recap and it's not even like, cause I can't stream vanilla wow anymore, right? That's how it works. It's DMCA, it's private servers. I say can't stream vanilla anymore. I can't stream private servers anymore. I should correct myself after that whole band and I can't do private server videos and it's been frustrating for me from a few points, right? Because I feel like I'm not doing content at the level at which I can do it. I'm a gameplay guy, right? At this point, I'm a personality streamer maybe. Like I said, I'm a just chatting streamer at this point. Like I sit there and we do just chatting and we'll do that, we play games, we do variety, we do IRL. That's what we're doing right now but the goal is for classic. That's the wow classic waiting room. I've gotten to almost, I've gotten like 125,000 followers or something without even, I don't even have my game, right? My game is classic, my game is Burning Crusade. Like I'm a gameplay guy. So I'm really, really excited to get a chance to go back to that and go back to like how the channel started in the first place, which was playing a vanilla wow ret paladin. So yeah, that's something I wanted to talk about just because like there's a lot of stuff I wanna do like class guides, ret guides, even stuff for other classes. Like I know quite a bit about the other classes but I feel like I haven't been able to do the content the way that I wanna do them because I can't use private server footage, right? For those of you guys who don't know, cause here's the thing and I forget, I forget a lot. The overwhelming majority of people who watch my channel, watch my YouTube, watch my Twitch, all this stuff. A lot of you guys weren't around for like the original like the original streams whenever I was streaming on YouTube and it's weird cause I just, it doesn't like, I don't feel that way. I don't feel like it was that long ago. It was a year and a half ago but it's gone over like that. And that's the thing. Like, you know, I used to stream vanilla wow private servers over the course of Elysian Lightbringer. I was the biggest streamer over the course of the whole lifespan, I guess. It became the biggest streamer, I should say. And then I ended up getting banned after the classic announcement. So I get banned after the classic announcement because it's copyrighted material, it's DMCA. And at that point I basically had to stop, right? I did a little bit of stuff here and there before I really found out what the rules were. And I got to the point where, hey, these are the rules. This is what I have to do. I literally emailed Blizzard and I asked them, like, hey, what can I do? What can I not do? And they're like, yeah, you can't stream private servers. You can't do private server footage. And I was like, okay, well, I'm getting like cooked, right? Out of what I want to do. But yeah, I mean, that's fine, right? Like that's part of being an adult. Part of being an adult is finding out like, finding out like what I have to do and doing that the right way in order to do what I actually want to do when the time comes, right? And that time is coming, right? It's a classic summer. It's going to be a classic summer. And like I said, we're right on the cusp. So, and that's really what I wanted to get into is basically my, the content on my YouTube channel, like, and obviously you guys are subbed and you guys are watching this. And I think a lot of you guys really enjoy that, right? That's why you watch. But for me personally, I don't feel like I've been doing, I feel like I haven't been able to do stuff the way that I want to do it, like at the level at which I want to do it, right? Gameplay footage, stuff like that. My channel so far has basically been like Classic Cast, which, you know, it's great. Classic Cast is awesome. Like it's gone really, really well. The biggest wild classic podcast and like just very good reception. It's gone very well. I'm very, very thankful for how well-received Classic Cast is. But then I do like news update videos and that's pretty much it. Like I haven't really done like opinion videos on stuff very recently. Most of the stuff that I've done on that front has kind of been like behind the scenes, like getting an opportunity to talk to Blizzard and being like, okay, this is what I feel about this and why, which has gone over actually shockingly well. Like a lot of you guys already know about the six phases thing and you guys have heard about like, you know, the reaction to or the decision behind spell batching and some other things that they've fixed like the loot trading stuff and whatnot. There's a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff that we still don't know, actually. There's a lot of stuff that they've kind of gone from that BlizzCon announcement where I came in hot. Like a lot of you guys, if you guys watch Classic Cast live the second day of BlizzCon after the announcement, I came in hot. Like I was really upset about it. I had a meeting with Yethisons, with Sikar who unfortunately was laid off during the big layoffs at Blizzard. I talked to him for like six hours the day after BlizzCon and kind of talked about all this stuff and I had opportunities to interface with them more after the fact and instead of doing videos and stuff which like it would have been great to do videos like that, you know, it would have been good for my channel and all that. But I really didn't really take the chance to do that and instead like if I had the chance to talk to them about it or talk about it on my stream. That's one thing. I talk about stuff on my stream all the time but like doing a video is different. Which again, I wanna get to right now. Basically, what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to get back. Right, I'm trying to get back. Like I said, no changes. Go back to your original S-Fan, old S-Fan. The stash is back, okay. I wanna start doing more like gameplay videos and more stuff like that but it's not gonna be till like the beta comes out. Like I have plans for stuff I wanna do. I wanna just show off the game, right. Be able to do footage, be able to do stuff but then also as far as my stream goes when I can finally stream the game again one thing that I'm actually concerned about that I've never really done at a high level is speed leveling. So I know the game. I know the end game. I know how to play a ret paladin. I know how to raid lead. I know how to guild lead. I know all this stuff, right? But the one thing I never really put a strong emphasis on while I was playing the game was leveling. Like I know how to level. I have fun while leveling. I have PvP, I do dungeons, I do all this stuff. And I play the game like, I play the game in that way. That's the way that I prefer to play the game. However, the way that I'm going to wanna play the game in classic in terms of streaming and PvP server and this and that I feel the need to speed level. So that's something I'm gonna be working on quite a bit in the beta. So that's gonna happen on my streams. Again, so this video, this is not a video where I'm expecting like, this is not like a mass appeal video.  This is a video for you guys. This is a video for the subscribers. This is for the people that watch my channel and kind of like let you guys know like, okay, this is kind of where my mind's at, right? And those of you guys who are in my Discord, right? Discord.gg slash sfanTV. Some of you guys already know this, right? Cause I'm always typing in Discord or like I get in voice chat with people and I just chat and I like to talk to you guys. Almost 10,000 people in the Discord, by the way. That's insane. Like, I think we're like 200 short of 10,000 people in the Discord, but yeah. So a lot of you guys kind of already know this, that I'm just kind of like chomping at the bit to get to start doing more gameplay videos and more stuff like that, more content for my YouTube channel again, even if it's like a 10 minute clip from the stream or something, right? 10 minute meme, right? The reason why people do that is like algorithm stuff for YouTube, but I don't really like that. I think that kind of stuff is like, if you're doing like a highlight video, like stream recap, stuff like that, like that's kind of like what you would want to do for that. But anyway, that's like a whole meme, right? But oh, speaking of which, I've been doing stream highlights on the channel. I think I want to stop, right? There's going to be stuff that I take from my streams and put them in my channel, but as far as like having stream highlights directly posted on my channel, we're not going to do that anymore.  I said, hey, look dude, let's do this.   And so, and I'll give you guys the link in the description. You really should go sub to Taz, go support him. He's going to be doing stream highlights. And especially now with like classic coming, there's going to be a lot of classic stream highlights, stream recap type stuff, S-fan react. I think the channel is called like S-fan to highlights and reactions. So you should go sub to him for sure. Go check out his channel. That's what he's going to be doing. So there's that. And I won't have those on this channel. This channel is going to be more about like, at least so far, right? This is what I'm thinking is this channel will be more for like guide type stuff like classic guides and opinion pieces and some stuff like that. Maybe if I get around to doing another S-fan IRL, stuff like that, right? Yeah. So that's kind of what I'm thinking so far. Something else is like, as far as like classic content has gone so far, I know that a lot of people have been doing like private server footage and doing videos and a lot of people have kind of come out of the woodwork since the classic announcement people like you've never heard of and all that stuff. A lot of people have just kind of been like showing up now and have been not getting in trouble. And my thing is like, okay, just cause they're not getting in trouble doesn't mean that somebody else won't, right? And in my personal case, I've already gotten in trouble once, right? And I think following the rules and doing things the right way and basically going variety with my channel instead of, and talking about classic has basically gone, I think it's gone better for everybody, right? For everybody involved, for myself, for members of the community, like our community, right? The people who watch this channel, the people who were involved in the Discord, all that, people who are excited for classic. I think it's been good, man. I think it's been really, really good. But I just really wanna get back to doing classic. And I'm still going to do IRL. Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna do IRL. I'm still gonna do variety a little bit. But the main focus of my channel is going to shift back to classic as soon as not, like as we get the beta, as we get the main game release, all that stuff. I really, as soon as we get the main game release, it's gonna be pretty significant based on classic. But with the beta, you know, stuff like that, right? And if you don't follow me on Twitch, I know like content that I do on YouTube and Twitch, it's not for everybody, right? Like one thing, it's not, both of them aren't for everybody. For me personally, whenever I talk about the channel, I talk about Twitch and I talk about YouTube together, right? To me personally, it's like all-encompassing. However, that's not the case for everybody. But if you guys watch my YouTube channel and you don't watch my Twitch, I would very, very, very highly recommend you go check out my Twitch channel. Things are going well. Now, we don't have classic yet, and I know that's why most of you guys watch my channel in the first place is you wanna watch classic stuff. But I talk about classic, we do a lot of stuff like that. We have a good time in general, it's just getting involved in the community and it's been really, really cool to see it grow. So that's something I'm very, very happy about. And I feel very fortunate for, is that like the channel has grown to have a strong community behind it too. So yeah. And of course, whenever we get classic stuff, whenever we get classic release or beta or whatever, that's gonna be very exciting as well. So that's really the main reason I made this video. Like I said, this is the second time I recorded this and the first time it was like way long, I still ended up going long. You guys know me, I'm a Rambler, I talk a lot. So anyway, this video is like kind of like an update for you guys and kind of letting you know where my head's at and I'm looking at doing more classic content soon. And there's some people who've like, I got a member button, right? I got a member button on my YouTube channel like a few months ago, but I didn't feel comfortable like being like, hey guys, I got a member button. Like remember to hit that member button and it's basically like a sub button on Twitch. But I know there's some people who've done that and they've become members on YouTube and it's kind of, at the end of the day, I know for those people, it's like, it's not that big of a deal because they just want to support me and they want to support what I'm doing. But yeah, it still kind of feels weird because I feel like I haven't done my fair share and I haven't lived up to the standard of somebody who's like a YouTube sponsor like doing content in order to have people who are like, not YouTube sponsors, they're called members now, YouTube members. So yeah, that's gonna be coming for those of you guys who have become members of my channel and thank you for that. Anyways guys, follow me on Twitter, Twitter.com slash S-Fan TV, Instagram S-Fan TV, Discord S-Fan TV, Twitch S-Fan TV. It's gonna be an exciting summer, man. It is. I mean, again, most of you guys already do all that stuff but in case you don't, you should definitely go do that, get involved in the community. It's gonna be a lot of fun, man. So thanks for watching. And if you see this on Monday or Tuesday, we will be doing a classic cast at 4 p.m. central time on my Twitch channel. On Tuesday, the 14th. So you should watch that. If you missed that, you should check it out whenever I upload it the next morning. So that's gonna be there. Anyway, thanks guys. I will see you guys soon. Peace.


Alright, so welcome to today's workshop. This is welcome to the libraries with the UT libraries. My name is Carissa Powell and I use she her pronouns. I am a student success librarian, and I work with a lot of our first year composition students who are in English 101 102 etc. And hi everyone, my name is Grace Darrell. I also use she her pronouns. I am an online learning librarian here at UT K, and I also work with general education students, a lot of with public speaking classes, and I focus on online learning in the libraries. Okay, cool, it was about to answer that question but Carissa got it in the chat. So today we're going to be going over a lot of our in person services on campus that are available to you, as well as a lot of our online services that are available. If you're off campus or at home, and then we want to make sure that everyone feels really comfortable and confident getting help from a librarian, and then we'll answer any questions that you have as we go at the end. As soon as this started, we would love if everyone either scanned the QR code on their screen, or went to slido.com and typed in 733588. We would love to know what you want to know about using the libraries, so that we go over things that are most relevant to you. So everyone take a minute or two to fill that out. If you have time to put things in the chat. If you do put something in the chat is a heads up again that it will. We'll actually know it won't because we're not, we're just putting this on YouTube so actually it should be fine. Sorry, as you can see, Carissa and I are people and sometimes we get, we forget things in our little fragile. So great seeing things come in on the slido. Excellent. If you have if you prefer to use the chat feel free to use the chat and we can pull in your answers without saying your name and leave you anonymous so that this is great. Thank you so much. Yeah, I'm seeing some really great things. I see people wanting to know how to use one search find books. We're definitely going to be going over good study spaces. We're going to be talking. Yeah, these are all great things. Gonna leave it maybe for like 30 more seconds if anyone else has something they really want to make sure we go over during today's session. Thank you for jotting down some of these. Thank you all so much for your, for your ideas for your questions. We are a lot of these things we've already planned on covering so that's great. And the things that we have not, we will definitely add so that we can give you answers to these questions as well. Thank you so much for putting these out there. And I hope this also helps folks feel very validated that even if you didn't ask one of these questions maybe you were thinking it like I see multiple people wanting to know how to reserve a study room so we will definitely definitely talk about that. All right, we're going to jump into it. Yeah. All right. So, as you probably saw this morning, campus guidance around COVID-19 and masks have changed again. So as of this morning, we are requiring masks and library spaces, but we are open. The libraries are definitely open to support you this semester. Starbucks is also open. If you're a Starbucks fan, I'm sure if you've been in the library, you have seen that line and Hodges Starbucks is open for you. The computer labs in the libraries are open for you. The stacks are open. All of all the spaces in Hodges library are open to you this semester. One of the things is that last week we were not requiring masks in the library spaces as a general rule. And now we are requiring masks. We follow the campus guidance. So the university, the chancellor sent out a message this morning about masks being required in indoor spaces and the libraries are no exception to that.  The only exception is when you're eating and drinking. This also includes things like staircases, elevators, classrooms, open study areas, all of that. So if you have questions about what the university's policies are in terms of COVID. If you have questions of masking requirements, all of that. We just recommend that you stay updated. Keep checking your email and then the university also has a coronavirus website that Elijah put in the chat. Again, the libraries do follow the campus guidance. So whatever campus says is what the libraries are doing as well.  And now Carissa is going to tell you a little bit more about what, what the different libraries on campus are. All right, so we've got three main libraries on campus. I wanted folks to know about the first one is Hodges, which is kind of like the main library on campus. It is our largest library. It has six floors. It is kind of like a great place to go. They're all great places to go. Hodges is the one my office is in. These are fun facts about Hodges. Hodges also has a lot of other services that I'll be talking about later on in this session. So for anyone who is on the Ag campus a lot, we have got the Pendergrass Library. If you are in Ag, Environmental Sciences, Natural Sciences, food, that med, and you find yourself on that side of campus a lot. That might be a great place to go. But if you just have a random class on the Ag campus, you do not have to be an Ag student to go to this library. It's just a great place. It is in the Med Center. And then the last library I wanted to mention is the Music Library. This is in the Haslam Music Center. Again, maybe your classes, you have a class in that area, you want to stop by that library. This is mostly the library that has the most music and music education, reference and research services. Elijah put links to chat for the hours of all of those. All of our libraries stay open slightly different hours depending on the day, depending on the time in the semester. So I strongly recommend just double checking the hours before you head to the library, especially if you're going to a library, maybe you don't go to as often. The libraries can change if it's a holiday, if it's a school break, so strongly recommend just looking at the hours first, but all of these buildings are for you. This is your campus so we want to make sure that you are comfortable and welcome in all of these spaces so it's a place that you can stop by to ask for help or just a place to plug in your laptop in between classes. We have also within those buildings so many spaces for you to take advantage of.  But all of our locations have spaces where you can chill out, plug in your laptop, as Chris has said, work on group projects, study. I saw lots of questions in our Slido a little bit earlier about study spaces, reserving study rooms, all of that. So we're going to touch on that here and then if you all have questions about that later or would like us to walk through what that looks like we can do that in the Q&A portion for sure. But we do have both quiet and collaborative spaces in Hodges. So Hodges Library has six floors and then one stop is the ground floor. So on the six floors, we have quiet floors and then we have more conversational floors. So when you walk into Hodges Library and you see Starbucks, the Starbucks floor is the second floor. That is a conversational floor and the third floor and the sixth floor are also floors where you can talk, have conversations with people, take an online class if you need to do that and you need to interact. Those are places where you can talk and people won't be upset with you. So the first, fourth and fifth floors are quiet floors. So if you've been into Hodges, the first floor has the graduate study room that graduate Commons and then also the reading room which is a quiet room. If you know about those, those floors there's also special collections on that floor. So it's the floor underneath the Starbucks floor. You can take the elevators or the stairs to the fourth and fifth floors and those are quiet floors as well. So those are really good places to go if you want quiet while you're studying. If you need to like watch a lecture, if you need to do some reading or some research, something that requires some silence. The first, fourth and fifth floors are where you will be able to go and not have a lot of noise going around. You also have study rooms that you can reserve on. We have quiet floors and we have conversational rooms as well. We have spaces we have study carols which are spaces kind of on the perimeter of some of our floors. So just so many options so many places for you to be able to go and study. Again, if you have more questions about that or if you want to kind of explore the different spaces that we have at the library. You can find more on the library website. Again, we've put that link into chat. So you can find a little bit more again about the hours if you have questions about that. You can also see the different spaces that we have in the libraries and read more about them and you can also reserve study rooms from that link as well. Like I said, if you have questions about that, if you really want to see what it looks like to reserve study rooms, we can definitely go over that in the Q&A portion. Or later on, if you want to reserve a study room but don't know how, you can chat with us. We can let you know that as well. But you are able to reserve study rooms up to two weeks in advance for two consecutive hours. That is an option if you really want to find somewhere to study or if you need a group project or something like that. Okay, so some other services we have in person are printing. I feel like this is a question that a lot of students have, especially when they're new on campus. So these are just some details about the cost of printing, some of the different printing you can do. We accidentally clicked on the link. So we're going to now explore the link that Elijah shared in chat. This is from a couple different places in the library. I think the most popular when a lot of people go to is the second floor of Hodges. You do have to put money on your, one of the ways you can do this is by putting money on your ball card, and there is a cash machine in Hodges library. You can put cash onto your card if you need to do that or you can add money onto your ball card. Another way online. And if you have any questions about printing, there are so many people physically in the library to answer questions. Especially like if it's your first time printing in the library, it might, it could be a little confusing, but that's a great place to come and print and if you run into any issues, there's a lot of staff at a couple of service decks on that second floor to help. Alright, someone had asked in the Slido about tutoring and while this is not service librarians offer, we have space in the library where our partners, our academic partners on campus are so the Writing Center does have place in the second floor of Hodges and I should put the link in chat. The Writing Center is really amazing. If you just, they're just awesome. They do a lot of different services. You can explore the link and chat. They also have their main location on campus but they do have this satellite location in the library, which is very cool. The other another service to mention in the physical library of Hodges is the studio which is a media production design lab. So if at any point in your time here at UT, you have an assignment that requires some type of media editing or design or audio or video editing. This is a great place to come to. They also do poster printing. So if you ever start getting into doing a research poster, they are awesome people to talk to. You can stop by their desk when they have special chat hours so you can ask questions or just if you're running into an issue, you can talk with them. They will also have someone coming from the studio to do a workshop later on this workshop series. So if that is of interest to you, definitely I encourage you to come to that one. All right, so we are now going to switch and talk about our online services a little bit. Again, if there's something about an in person service or something about using the libraries in person that you still have a question about jot it down. And we will definitely take time in that Q&A portion to answer those questions. So if there's something you still have a question about using the library in person, don't worry. Just save it in your brain and we will address that later on. All right, so online services, if you don't want to come to the library, or maybe it's the middle of the night and you don't really have your dorm room. That's also fine. You don't have to be in the library to get help, which is awesome. So if you have questions just in general if you need help with research again like Chris has said somebody mentioned tutoring. This is the closest thing we have to tutoring is chat and setting up a consultation. We do have research assistance for you if you need help finding secondary sources for your projects. If you need help finding a book. If you have a general question about the libraries, we do have that chat on the library website, and that link is in the chat in the zoom chat. So if you have a question, you can use that chat feature. And somebody who works in the libraries will be there to answer your questions. So for some reason we can't answer your question, we will get you in touch with someone who can. We can also help you get started from your get started with your research on chat. So if it's middle of the night and you need help like coming up with a paper topic because it's due tomorrow, or you need help finding sources or for some reason you can't access an article and you really need it. That's really good for chat. So if you have any questions, please let us know. And we can help you out with those things. If you prefer some one on one research help you can set up a consultation with the librarian and that link is also in the zoom chat. That ask us now link. We can meet with you up to an hour on zoom. There are also some people who will be able to meet in person if you would prefer that. So if you're interested in doing some of the most important things, you can email your subject librarian. So if you know who your subject librarian is, or you're doing subject specific research. And you are really interested in meeting with someone who does a lot of research in your field and your discipline and your major. You can email your subject librarian directly. We're going to have a workshop next week about subject specific research, but we will talk about that at the end. So just a lot of ways for you to get help online as well. You don't have to be in the physical library spaces in order to get help with research, or to get your questions answered. All right, and we had a lot of students in the poll asking about how to access one search, things like that. So, if you ask that question, this is the part we're getting to. We're talking about articles and databases. Several folks mentioned one shot by, or one search by name. One search is our catalog system that searches a lot of books, ebooks, videos, digital collections, maps, etc. But then it also searches a good portion of other articles you might need to do research for a class you're in. You can pop in a search term here. And again, we'll have other workshops that go into more detail about how to use it. But the very basics is type in a few keywords of things you're looking for and hit search. I do recommend that you are using keywords not typing in a whole sentence, but that'll just help you out some more. And then the other one I want to mention is our articles and databases. And again, like Grace mentioned, we have a whole workshop next week about really diving into these two tools. So just for today, we're just briefly mentioning them, but we can also pop some tutorials into chat if you are wanting to learn how to use them before next week's workshop. These are available to you 24 seven anywhere in the world. If you are off campus, you do have to log in with your net ID and password to access them. But you can do this from home, you can do this from the library, wherever you are, you should be able to log into these and search them. Alright, so that is the end of our formal recording. We're going to pop the link to the end of section survey in chat we would really love to hear what stood out to you today what questions you still have. And if you are needing proof of attendance, that's going to be the last question in that link. And it will trigger an email sent to you that you can show your professor. So, very exciting. And then we would also love to see you next week. Monday, August 30 at 215pm, we're going to be talking about subject specific databases and keywords. So for everyone who is asking about more about one search that would be a really great one.


incentive. Now last out in the two sets what was your strategy because I think what was the I'm trying to think of the score you had to beat to win the to win the incentive. We just we just cut kind of what's left that we saw act good you know they chopped on the list pretty good and a lot of you know really good cows kept getting cut and some that we like there weren't any good either so I got a great team you know Corey pounds and Grant Seneca they're there a hundred percent and it takes a lot more than me you know so from the girls to my cow guys dad turning back Lloyd you know it's just it all has to you know just to work.  Yes ma'am first first cow was a black cow that we saw go around a few times right before I went down there I thought she went around and take it strong and Grant said that he's going to cut her just before me Corey said that she looked fine and so we started with her come back with a little brown that Corey found a little square headed brown cow that was good and then third cow not sure if she was fresh or not. So what does it mean to have this hundred thousand dollar incentive and this win this check to take home that's fantastic isn't it. Yes ma'am. Tell us about what you think about these kinds of incentives and what body partners put up. Well I think that it's unbelievable and what good timing you know we really needed it we really needed something positive like this and somebody that's generous like that and what he's doing for the sport before this and now this you know it's you can't explain it it's just very generous and we're very very grateful to have the opportunity even if we didn't win it or whatever just to see the money out there was it was great. And to have it even grow a lot more for next year some spectacular. That's great too. Are you going to be getting some more metallic cats are taking? Good Lord willing yes ma'am. Well congratulations it was really exciting way to finish this final it was just such an exciting final on so many levels thank you. Thank you and a big thanks to my family and my help and these customers you know they've just to believe in us and you know buy us a good horses and my dad trained the horse and he's been just so yes ma'am thank you. So I didn't watch you thank you at the time.


If you had to build your team's future around Mac Jones or Justin Herbert, who would you pick? Well, let me tell you something right now, brother. Mac Jones is the best rookie quarterback we've ever seen. I'm taking Mac Jones in a long 15-year career in the Patriots, red, white, and blue. Let's go. I got nothing against Justin Herbert. He's awesome. But Mac Jones, man, he's got the brains to do what Belichick and McDaniels want to do. So I'm going to go Mac Jones on that. But I'm going to have to go with Justin. Frickin' Herbert. Justin Herbert. It's not even close. Future of the franchise, who do you want? Mac Jones, Justin Herbert. I think you've got to go with Tom Brady, actually.


Hello, my name is Dr. Eric Green and I am the Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, which is part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. My Institute conducts and funds research studying the role that your genome, that's the DNA in all of your cells, plays in health and disease. Now you may know that common diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease often run in families. And so do rare diseases like hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia. One of the main reasons why diseases run in families relates to differences in the DNA that each person inherits from their parents. That's why understanding the health history of your parents and grandparents and other relatives is so important. Now the holidays provide a great opportunity to start learning about your family health history. So this Thanksgiving, why not start the conversation? I encourage you to sit down with your loved ones and talk about any health problems that seem to be common in your family. Just make sure to write everything down. But to help with this you can record and track all this information using the Surgeon Generals Free My Family Health Portrait Tool, which you can get to at familyhistory.hhs.gov. That's familyhistory.hhs.gov. And don't forget to share what you've learned with your health care provider. They may be able to help you use the information to predict your risk for certain diseases and in some cases help you make decisions about appropriate screening and preventative steps. Family health history is a powerful tool that you can use today to ensure a longer, healthier future for you and your loved ones. Thanks for watching and have a happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the National Human Genome Research Institute.


Yeah, there's a lot of depression in there somewhere But like, you know, you see obviously not every comedian, but but like for example will Ferrell seems very serious when he does Talk show interviews, which is like an opposite of his on-screen persona, which seems like this which is probably also not his real Way of being in real life either. You know what I mean? Like We're probably not seeing the real at home will Ferrell I think a lot of people, you know, whether you're a comedian or you're an entertainer in some other form It's you get used to entertaining people. Yeah, you know what it is You're supposed to do and that's not necessarily who you are as a whole being Some people are very much like they are in real life in their entertainment. I think all three of us are you know Nobody's Someone's face. They're not gonna act exactly the same, but I think we're all pretty close to who we are I've been told that I know you too. Yeah. Well, but I consider it the only way to stay sane like like Entertainers people who do like big-time entertainment talk shows TV movies, right? I think a lot of times those people are definitely not the same Put on a personality Regis Feldman. I Don't know. Did you call him Regis Feldman? Regis Feldman, Philman, wait, who's Feldman? Oh, wait, that's what's his name? That's Corey Feldman That's real. Yeah, that was no So, you know, I did house calls on screen too was a long time ago and I had the opportunity to meet And McMahon and he was a lot like his own screen persona He was okay. Well, and you know, it might be because we're there to shoot him, but he was very Gregarious and very outgoing and very, you know thoughtful. So it's pretty cool. Well, that's true, too Like I'm different if someone comes over to my house then I am when I'm just alone in the house Lily Tomlin. So we had to do something with Lily Tomlin. She was kind of the exact opposite of her. She was very Quiet quiet taciturn Taciturn good word. Yeah, you went to college, didn't you? I went to a college College boy with a sixth degree from a college Six dollars.  Oh, I will I wanted to mention this I forgot on the show yesterday. So I've been watching YouTube TV a lot more as I've mentioned on the show before and You know, sometimes it's that's the only way I can watch certain things I want to watch exports and so I've been watching more commercials because they've got commercials and The family plan that I'm a part of is actually based in Phoenix And so I see a lot of regional Arizona commercials. Oh It's so weird. Yeah, first of all commercials. I just think they would just go off IP address not not plan That's that's interesting. Yeah, it's the plan of the Owner of the account. I was about to say like even like with sling TV or PlayStation view I can watch them out of market even though my plan is in LA if I'm in San Francisco watching sling TV It gives me San Francisco area That's weird. We should probably get started. Yes Okay Alright, let's ask Pat to start the show off today. Okay Okay, Pat the Daily Tech News show is powered by its listeners not outside Organizations if you get value from the show Consider giving a little back as little as a dollar a month keeps great tech news and analysis coming your way Commercial free find out more at daily tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday June 5th 2018 in Los Angeles, I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline I'm Sarah Lane and our producer Roger Chang is here today. It's just the three of us But we got Computex news folks Computex in full swing in Taiwan Chip news raining down crazy prototype laptops. It's gonna be fun, right Roger. It's gonna be so much fun Let's start with a few tech things you should know Dow Jones announced Tuesday that Twitter would replace Monsanto That's a couple of different companies in the SMP 500 Twitter jumped about 5% Tuesday after the news Changes go in effect on Thursday June 7th when German pharma company Bayer finalizes its 63 billion takeover of Monsanto Oh, that's because Monsanto isn't gonna be independent anymore. I get it. I hesitate to call Lenovo a liar I wouldn't do that, but they certainly deceived us back on May 31st We passed along the many reports that noted the Lenovo promotional render of the z5 phone showed an all-screen front with no notch and no bezel However in the announcement Lenovo showed the z5 not only has a notch But also a chin like a nice not thick, but it's got a little bezel down there at the bottom Lenovo still claims its bezels and notches are smaller than the iPhone 10 and the Mi 8 And the z5 goes on sale in China June 12th for a thousand two hundred ninety nine you on up to a thousand seven hundred ninety nine You on few hundred dollars our next bezel is hope. However comes from vivo's announcement coincidentally on June 12th Sharp is acquiring Toshiba's PC business and will issue about $1.8 billion in new shares to buy back stock from banks that have previously invested Sharp's parent company Foxconn is world's biggest contract manufacturer Obviously, we know it well for smartphones, but also to produce PCs and TVs more cheaply So it makes a lot of sense that they would be in cahoots Sharp said it would take an eighty point one percent stake into Shiba's PC unit on October 1st We'll also retain the Dynabook brand to Shiba sold seventeen point seven PCs seven years ago This last year one point four million units And Facebook announced the fifth Oculus connect conference will take place in San Jose September 26th and 27th That's right fifth. There have been five of these with a will have been Registration details aren't out yet, but September 26 27th mark it down on your calendar Let's talk a little more about Spotify Let's do it and especially Spotify getting into the hardware business Maybe Spotify registered with the FCC Tuesday, which is the first step usually in getting hardware devices approved for use in the US Spotify will first get a grantee code a grantee code allows the company to file to have a wireless networking Device approved by the FCC or multiple ones previous reports included plans for an in-car device that Spotify might have been working on Yeah, they were advertising for jobs about requiring hardware expertise and so it seems pretty Likely that Spotify is working on a thing, right? I love this quote in variety. Where was it? I should have I should have noted this earlier where they they talk about Whether Spotify wants to become the next pebble watch Amazon Echo or snap spectacles Yeah, Tom you had shared that quote with me earlier today, and I was like, why don't know if Spectacles or pebble would be what Spotify would want to align itself with considering both of those companies hardware stumbles as of late, but I do think that especially because Spotify has kind of been on its own journey as far as they want to you know have you know to beef up their podcast division and There are a lot of artists that are on Spotify that yeah I mean not so much that are not on other competitors like Apple music anymore But there's certainly some some exclusives to have something like a smart speaker would make a lot of sense But could you sell it? You know it low enough to be able to compete with Amazon and and from the job But by the way that pebble watch Amazon Echo thing that was from Spotify's job listing So Spotify was saying that it does it does feel like most of the rumors point towards some in-car device Which that I guess kind of makes sense although everybody's got a smartphone Why would you want a second device for in-car? Unless they've come up with some crazy cool way to make it really easy like I don't know great speakers better than your car speakers I I'm having a hard time seeing how this isn't snap spectacles Which is something that I don't really see the need for even if it sounds cool And with Apple's carplay announcement yesterday One might think maybe this is something that just kind of got pushed out because it needed to get out there ASUS announced several new products Monday at Computex. Let's go through them one by one I will go through three of them not all of them. We did talk about the Republic of Gaming stuff earlier Vivo watch BP has what ASUS says is a medical grade blood pressure monitor That means it had to get us FDA approval also has an ECG and PPG heart rate and blood pressure sensor Omron announced a similar feature at CES But ASUS says the Vivo watch BP will be out before Omron's and will last 20 days on charge Good for heart were good good for health monitoring, right blood pressure. Yeah, I mean absolutely 20 days on a single charge is lovely Yeah, that's a health monitor like that. This is less of a watch and more of a health device Yeah, exactly. This is something that you have to use on a regular basis for health reasons very cool and I don't know what the difference in price is Pricer availability on anything we're gonna talk about from ASUS by the way. Yeah, exactly But but yeah, I mean battery life alone for this sort of thing is is obviously crucial ZenBook Pro 15 Has a cool-looking trackpad The trackpad is a 5.5 inch touchscreen or what ASUS is calling a screen pad You can toggle it back and forth with the f6 key between being a regular old mouse touchpad a An app player like a calculator music player even Microsoft Office integration or just a secondary display where you can drag anything into it Specs run up to core i9 16 gigabytes of RAM GTX 1050 Ti with 4 gigs of RAM So it's got gaming machine like specs and it has Amazon voice control built-in as well People have done this sort of thing before in fact. We just saw I think it was a sir showing off Dockable one or maybe it was a razor was showing off the dockable phone into a laptop configuration What do you think of this using the touchpad as a touchscreen? Well, I might be the only person who does not hate the Apple touch bar But I know it is hated among lots of people who are Mac enthusiasts. This is also already cooler Than the Apple touch bar. Although I have gotten used to it. So in the sense of you know, having more touchable You know things to launch within your your single laptop. I like it I think it looks cool. I just don't know if I'll end up actually using it because it's below my hands Roger What do you think? So my big? Issue with this is that means now you're moving your eyes off your screen and down onto the trackpad Now this is one of the reasons why Apple did the touch bar where it's at It's because it's close to the screen So you really only need to glance down and once you figure out where everything is you can kind of do it by Muscle memory if your trackpad image is always changing that means you got to see okay This app is running on it now. I know what to do, but I mean you're gonna be doing this It's it's a nice Feature if you want to have feature specs on your product But I don't know if it's gonna be a seller point selling alright How about this prototype? This is the last of the announcements are gonna talk about project pre-cog To get the minority report fans I guess a dual-screen laptop with no keyboard Targeted at AI so all the buzzwords the one they showed was a prototype But they say they intend to make it available in 2019 among its many nifty promises are knowing where your hands are So it can shift the virtual keyboard accordingly So it's basically like two tablets hinged right and it can do a virtual keyboard or you can hook a external keyboard up Conserves battery in advance of your meetings so it knows when your meetings are and you're gonna unplug and it tries to go into low power mode Works with Microsoft Office to make smart Suggestions like ways to present data in Excel and it can work in book form So side-by-side screen laptop form flat on the ground or tent mode with a stylus And it'll have face an object recognition. I guess my first question is if there is no physical keyboard Are they still laptops? I mean, I guess they are but we're getting into these new categories now Yeah, I mean this is a laptop, but it's also two tablets and it's also a tent and it's also like yeah this It's gonna be confusing.  So I Don't know it looks like the kind of thing they use in Westworld This is gonna be something that's gonna find itself very popular within a niche group of users So whether it might be like an industrial application where you need to have these out or in a medical situation or even in a specific kind of like Organizational setting where you know for some reason you need to have it out like, you know the the 10 commandments in your show and everyone But I don't think it will have a wider popularity Because it doesn't it's not a it's not an overarching industry kind of thing And so people are gonna look at it's a cool. That's cool. But really, you know, there's not the need There's not the thing we're like, yes I've been wanting this because it fixes this problem that I've had So if you don't have that then you have to say it fixes the problem You didn't know you had and I don't see it doing that. Maybe I missed a great prop for a movie So well on that desktop tip Intel announced at copy tax It will launch a single socket desktop CPU with 28 cores running at 5 gigahertz SVP Gregory Bryant ran the Cinebench benchmark on its on-state on on-stage yielding a score of 7,300 3 4 Intel plans to sell the CPU by the end of the year until also announced it will make 50,000 special core i7 8086 K CPUs I had so much loveless of a harder time doing this on headlines this morning to celebrate Intel's 50-year company anniversary, but also the 40th anniversary of the 8086 Processor which is Intel's best performing mainstream coffee like processor if we're taking notes with a base frequency of 4.0 gigahertz and a single core Turbo of 5.0 gigahertz for a probable 4.6 gigahertz all core turbo and Finally until tees 14 nanometer 8th gen whiskey lake processors for lightweight laptops and a 14 nanometer amber lake thin laptop and tablets a 1.5 terabyte octa-pane SSD and a smaller m.2 design and a partnership to sell 5g capable laptops from acer Asus Dell HP Lenovo and Microsoft in sprint stores next year So this is Intel on three points hitting We are super fast and powerful still don't don't ignore us. We have 28 cores Also, we've been around forever and we're still making great chips. So check this out. We're gonna celebrate our history and third We are on the cutting edge. We're gonna you y'all want lap laptops with network connections That's the next hot trend and we're on it. We're gonna partner for 5g capable laptops I mean I paused after after the 8086 because I thought you guys would be so thrilled but it's it's interesting. I mean I Covers everything you just said Tom One is like listen. I know everyone is doing multicore arm is releasing new designs It's supposed to be desktop capable and released within a year We're still in the game. We're still innovating. We still have you know an advantage And we've been around for a long time and let's not forget. We have a huge legacy installed base So if you want to make sure you run those all those old legacy x86 applications We're still around so Sorry, Roger thought you were done. Oh also The nod to the enthusiast with the with the special 8086 which is also kind of a very self-serving You know binning of products like it's something already produced But they're probably just gonna bin all the the high spec ones that they can and some but yeah It's it's very much of Intel saying we're still around now They're doing this because they feel threatened by Qualcomm and arm designed chips And at Computex Tuesday Qualcomm announced the new Snapdragon 850 mobile compute platform designed for PCs Coming right at Intel Promising a 30% boost in performance over the 835 a 20% boost in battery life and a 20% increase in 4g LTE speeds PCs with the old 835 just hit the shelves in the spring But Qualcomm says the 850 powered PCs will be coming by holiday time less than a year after the last generation Take that tick-tock Intel Qualcomm said more manufacturers will use the 850 then use the 835 they named Samsung as one company that will have the 850 in a future device and To keep people from not ordering those older 835 powered devices They announced that Sprint will provide free unlimited LTE data for devices that run the Snapdragon 835 So you buy the old one you get free data You get free high-speed data or if you wait until the holiday you get this higher powered higher performance version in a Qualcomm PC these are these are PCs. They're running Windows So I mean it's this is very telling because you know, it's interesting because Intel is pushing Look at all the high-end stuff that we're capable of rolling out and Qualcomm is like look Keep that end. We're gonna sell what basically is your biggest money maker Which is the mainstream, you know mid-market? I just need a laptop to do my email to surf the web to watch my funny YouTube videos, you know I'm not gonna game. I'm not gonna do Adobe Creative Cloud. It's a bulk of the market and that's what they're targeting This is a very shrewd move because they understand that right they they they are they're making a very attractive product At a price point that should be that there should should tempt You know people switch over and you know, most of these applications are our platform and agnostic anyway, right like the Internet So as long as people get all that stuff, I don't think I don't think Intel has much of the way of that market locked in because you know anyone with a integrated Graphics, you know laptop knows what sucks for gaming sucks for doing any kind of high-end creative Application outside of maybe Photoshop, and even then in limited circumstances, so you would be upgrading to an upper-tier model anyway I mean, it's it's kind of what the Japanese car industry did to the American car industry by targeting that You know the economy and the middle mid-market segment with reliable inexpensive Automobiles that perform just as well in a mature product line, right PC sales are flat They go down sometimes they go back up But you know that that's not the growth market And so what Qualcomm's doing is is they're eating Intel's lunch here in Intel missed out on the mobile market And now Qualcomm is is trying to move in on the ultra cheap ultra portable market like Rogers describing It does seem like we are facing a world just shaping up out of what we're reading from Computex Where we're gonna get a lot of of laptops with connectivity built in we've had that for years now But that that seems to be the they're pushing that towards the front, especially as 5g rolls out You're gonna have home broadband speeds, you know super fast speeds built into your laptop I My instinct is that's desirable as long as it's simple to use Which is why it's print giving it away free is kind of cool and not Crazy expensive a lot of the early implementations of this just weren't that fast and we're pricey Like if you can get away with using the 5g service and ditch your you know land You know hardwired broadband I think a lot of people would make the search as long as there was a way that Easily share that among all the devices that you have and that's that's the big question mark for me Yeah, most of the carriers do it as an add-on plan Like if you have a watch or a laptop or a tablet, they're like, oh, we already have a plan with us Just pay an extra ten bucks for that. This will this will definitely lead to interesting I predict during when 5g rolls out. There's gonna be a lot of interesting Pricing models between all the different players as they basically try to Measure each one of them up. Yeah, I guess which is why in whatever country you're in you should want competition You you want to have choices so that those so those bundles compete with each other funny You mentioned competition Tom because China is investigating allegations of DRAM chip price-fixing against Samsung SK Heineck's and micron who together control 96% of the DRAM market Reuters reports a sword saying the double in of DRAM prices in the past two years prompted the investigation as it hurt Chinese Electronics manufacturers who operate on lower margins a South Korean government officials said that both Samsung and SK Heineck's deny price-fixing and say simply strong demand outstripped manufacturing capacity Now it's very interesting to note that these companies both all three of them at one point or another in the past ten years Have been under investigation not just by the Chinese But also by the EU and by the US Department of Justice for roughly the same Investigation where they found to have They will so they not all together not all at the same time, but at various points Samsung SK Heineck's have been charged and leveled with Not a fee with a penalty or and as well as micron Although in the micron case because it read it out the other two to the EU it wasn't penalized And that was from I think five years ago It's it's very interesting because when you have this many this this high of a percentage of the market between three companies Invariably, you know all eyes will be cast toward you anytime there seems to be Some kind of hinky business with pricing and you know the the the chip makers are saying well Look people are now mining. They're more high-end machines being sold more Handheld of our tablets phones that need these ships simply just a question of demand Our factories haven't been able to keep up and we're running full speed But you know what the greater demand of the fewer amount of the products that we can put out You know the prices are gonna go up. Yeah, nobody looks at graphics cards and says oh was price fixing They're like yeah, it was Bitcoin mining. So maybe it is this time just demand But like you say they do have a past Right hailing company grab is partnering with cargo to offer convenience items to passengers while riding with grab drivers cargo provides a small plastic container that fits between the front seats and Contains free samples as well as items for sale like chips gum ibuprofen phone chargers tiny stuff Drivers get 25% of the commission on paid sales and a dollar every time a passenger places an order at cargo dot menu Even if it's for a free sample, so they do promotional deals where riders can get free samples The driver still gets a buck for those cargo offers its services to lift and uber drivers in the use on in the u.s On an informal relationship so any driver can sign up, but it's not a partnership with lift and uber This is a direct partnership with grab where grab will be encouraging its drivers To do this on a side note grab launched grab ventures to develop technology startups in transport food services logistics financial services And they're already investing in Self-driving technology with drive dot AI and payments with India's kudo So grab on the move, but more importantly Sarah, you know You you hail a ride from time to time. Would you want to buy some gum while you're heading? Sure would Tom? This this to me is and yes a lot of my ubers Or lifts or do you know any other ride hailing service go to and from the airports? Not all of them, but many of them I would say I'm in and uber at you know If I wanted to like give a median time for a good 20 30 minutes sometimes I get thirsty sometimes I want gum sometimes my phone's dead This is an extension of the airport where you get stuff that you forgot You need at the last minute and you'll pay a little bit of a premium and you're glad it's there Pringles it's like mini bar items, isn't it? I wonder what the prices are too That is one thing that I did not see. I mean it's for the drivers. It's great. You get 25% sure I'm sure it's almost airport. Maybe not quite mini bar, but probably airport prices like these aren't cheap For the convenience. It just makes it makes a lot of sense I can't tell you how many times and I'm sure other people have have have stories as well where you're You're on your way where you need to be you can't turn around You're going to be late you will pay a premium and yes some of this is you know It's not life-or-death stuff, but I don't know you got a headache. I'd be profan or I you know again charger, you know Reminds me of the mini bar in the hotel room. Yeah. No, absolutely. That's it. Yeah, that's why I brought that up. I think the I Think the charger thing though. Remember uber's initial You know sort of je ne sais quoi was like oh and they give you water and a charger and this this feels like the other end of Like oh, they're gonna now they're gonna start becoming the you know the the Ryanair Friday like in charge well remember that both uber and left have have experimented with oh, we can like play your playlist and Yeah, with the driver and I was was sort of like yeah, I don't know it's like personal I don't you know There's certain things where it's like the perk might not actually be a solution anybody wants But when it comes to the basics and even stuff that maybe you'd see you know Sometimes in a bathroom where you give somebody a tip for providing the service. I think they'll probably make some money. Yeah All right, let's check in on the thing of the day, Sarah Let's do it time to check in with Chris Christensen with our travel tip This is Chris Christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute This happens to be the hundred and first tech in travel minutes So thanks to Tom and the gang for letting me do this and today I have a tip not so much a particular Technology, but one of the top questions I get is when should I book my flight? And we're getting into that time that you should be booking your flight for your July or August trip studies show That about six weeks ahead of time tends to be the optimal time I'd say six to eight weeks ahead of time if you book it too much sooner You'll pay more if you book it certainly in the last 14 days. You'll pay much more Interesting trivia when is the day that people actually book more online flights than any other day? And that is the first work day After New Year's all the Christmas shopping is done They know what they're paying on their bills and they're starting to think about their summer vacation and apparently they wait until they get To work to actually book interesting to know I'm Chris Christensen from amateur traveler book those flights now Thank You Chris And thanks to all those who participate in our subreddit you can submit stories of vote on them at daily tech news show dot Reddit comm and facebook comm slash groups slash daily tech news show What's in the mail bag Sarah? Well, we actually went to YouTube today Kelvin and one of our YouTube commenters commented on our discussion last week about Amazon's Australian based platform. He says I agree that this stinks. I'm a determined Australian I think Amazon is not only playing us with Amazon's own site, but with audible more so than Kindle like you can only have one Credit per month not the two. I was used to before the AU site came active among other backward steps That still exist even years later keep up the good work Yeah, so Kelvin's responding particularly to Amazon shutting down access to anything but the Australian site Which has a much smaller catalog than the worldwide site and Tector actually had An opinion column up today saying, you know, this this is the reverse of what the 10% tax wants to do They wanted a level playing field in Australia and they're like, well now you've got the level list of playing fields like it's just Australia. So We'll see where this goes we've seen Amazon do this fight in other parts of the world particularly the US over taxes and They usually don't win, but they usually get Concessions out of it. So we'll see if that works there Some warrior DX from YouTube commented on yesterday's show dude dark mode is something I've always wanted and it's Disgusting that we had 20 years of white Internet Okay, anyone remember booting up Windows 2000 earlier in the morning and getting blasted with the force of a thousand sons Yeah, that one's not far off Yeah, we don't need any of that save power reduce ice-drain stop imitating paper like it's relevant Yeah, man paper. Hey thumb warrior. I hear you man, but what about those of us who don't read well in low light? You know, it's teach that's why I think you give options, right? Exactly I'm warrior. You need the dark mode for sure. I mean, I've been ever since tweet deck, you know Had a dark mode of me being like, why would anyone look at it that way and people say why would you not?

I just you know, you just keep keep Keep powering through you're fine. I know how it goes.  I know what I meant seriously people go listen to daily tech headlines You'll hear a perfect execution It's performance anxiety. No, that was good. No, it was a really good show That's why I don't do headlines live. Yeah Oh, yeah Sometimes sometimes I get through no problem Sometimes I'm like nailed it. Good work girl. And then other times I'm like, we're gonna have to do Story three four the sixth time in three two And well, that's the weird thing right is once you screw up once I tend to screw up over and over again Because you already know it even though you're going in there, you know and fixing things so true So roger. Yes. What are we calling this beautiful show that we've just created? This gem Not you Not okay. I like this because it's so corny Notch Yo full screen That's very clever that Lenovo Um show about that chat room net if you're watching live to make your your vote count Keyboards will be 86 in the future That's also pretty funny because like the 80 86 It's a little bit of a mash Yeah, but I get it. I get it. I get it. But not your full screen phone is pretty funny It's a very roger time. I really do think a two display Device where one of the displays could be a keyboard But isn't necessarily a keyboard is no longer a laptop The problem is they keep disrupting the keyboard in ways that don't improve it Uh, I don't have quite as much anger at the macbook keyboards as many people do But the macbook pro keyboard has been getting worse and worse over time The k120 from logitech that i'm using right now is my favorite keyboard and on-screen keyboards I just have they're nightmares for me I type twice as slow because I keep making mistakes or autocorrect changes what I typed correctly to something that's not right So I want like a good on-screen keyboard with haptics People were playing around with that for the longest time and it seems like they've just kind of stopped Another problem is there hasn't been a very good alternative to a keyboard that allows you to do the same amount of writing Like if you went to a stylist like a pen thing you can't hand write as fast as you could as you could type And there were the third-party keyboards xyp and others that that did a really good job of Working around that limitation And I know that a lot of people still use them, but in general they have fallen off as far as popularity Yeah, you know the the future is like the next step would be just straight voice to text automatically without Yeah, with the minimal of errors like as many as you would no, but I don't want to have to speak out loud all the time I want to be able to talk when it's crowded and you can't hear or when I don't want people to know what I'm typing Oh gosh, like when I'm on the phone with somebody I'm typing at them. Well, I mean not always but it's you know Multitasking is way less likely if you have to Tell the laptop what you want to say My idea has always been that the future keyboard would look a lot like a Is this stenographer like in a court stenographer where if you ever look at their keyboards, it's it's very it's like only 60 Or you know, not 60. It's like like a set of 24 keys or whatever, but all the keys relate to Annunciation right so sh and all that so instead of doing letters.  Yeah And I remember because we had I mentioned this before when I was in when I went to state one of the classes I took uh, one of my classmates was deaf and she had A stenographer who also doubled as a court stenographer taking notes in class That was great because I could like ask like how quick can you type? I'm like, you know, I would say something She's going Because it's like it's amazing. I mean unfortunately, it's a skill you can't it's not a skill you can expect everyone to have You know, I will I I Keywords one of the and you know, maybe some people can relate to this I stopped using my ipad really because I ended up needing to you know, if I was on it for a while and I'm watching tv or whatever and that's what I'm using I would need to type And I ended up just pulling for my mac way more often than I wanted to because I just wanted it You could but at that point it's like but I have my laptop You know, I and you know at that point the ipad is not really solving Well, I asked about that because I have a keyboard case the logitech keyboard case for the ipad pro is fantastic It is one of the better keyboards out there But I still will pull out my laptop because sometimes you need to have multiple windows with fast switching by mouse And you just don't have that on tablets. It's too clunky. There's too much thinking you have to do like Oh, wait, I I can put two things on the screen at once. It's like windows 1.0 Would you like to know 50% of the reason why I have an xbox is not a playstation 4 Is because xbox still sells chat boards that you can plug into the controller So if I'm searching for anything whether it's on amp like amazon prime video or Netflix or youtube, I can just punch it in like I don't have to do the hunt bet I mean grand avada connect keyboards for the ps4 though Yeah, but this one is just like super seamless. It's you know, it works in games. It's like just part of the unit It's not not a clue Well, no, but there's like official third-party accessories that add keyboards to the ps4 Well, but what I'm saying is that it's like designed from the outset The entire thing to use that keyboard to import Like I can punch in passwords I can do I'm just waiting for the email that tells you you can do Oh, no, I'm sure but I just there I tried a third-party ps3 keyboard and it sucked and I know it's there plenty of others, but I just The xbox the three so point I guess I guess the point I'm trying to make is this isn't about sony versus microsoft No, no, it's not. I'm just saying you wanted a way to type into exactly. I just wanted a Nice decent keyboard.  I think I want I probably don't which you really really when it finally gets perfected I'll probably find problems with it, but it's a sub vocalization So where I don't have to speak out loud, but I can mouth the words and it will it will actually Create it. I guess brain reading would be even better where I just think the words but A mind reader a step to that would be like, you know, I could be in a coffee shop No one could hear me and I would just say, you know, I would just Type out and the stuff would type out if someone could read lips Yeah, but even then I mean, I'm not I'm not so worried about it. I'm not talking about security I'm talking about like I just don't like the idea of being overheard Something to look over your shoulder at what you're typing to like I'm not talking about ultimate security. I'm just talking about You know, I don't want to be the guy in the coffee shop trying to use voice recognition software I also think there's, you know, a certain amount of people myself included where I am a really fast typer You know, if I've got to get like a couple paragraphs out, that's what I want to do I want it to be on a keyboard But if you aren't used to doing that and you figured out other ways to do it, that's way less of a solution that you need I feel like we we want keyboards because we're used to them though Exactly. I'm just used to it. Yeah, you know, I took typing classes There should there should be a new thing that if we got used to would be so much better Handwriting we should have stylus courses Perhaps perhaps a dual screen Uh Laptop whatever you want to call it is our solution. I think it's brain reading Like just being able to just like put electrodes on your brain and you can just think the letters on There's going to be an app called the sorting hat cat or cat. What's the one in harry potter the sorting hat?  Thanks folks for hanging around with us And uh, we will say goodbye to the video for now the streaming video. Bye. See you tomorrow. Bye everyone Thanks
