Hey everyone, how's it going? We have some rumors for you today, some fresh rumors about a new Nintendo Direct. But before we get into those rumors, I gotta remind you that we are giving away a Switch OLED and it's very, very easy to enter. All you have to do is be subscribed to the channel. That's it. We'll be announcing the winner at some point in early October in a live stream, so I hope to see all of you guys there. But yes, here we go. I know it's been, what, gosh, four days, five days since the last video. Yeah, well, I'm on vacation. So you know what, you guys just get what you get. And today, what you get is a fresh rumor from Samus Hunter. That's right, we haven't talked about Samus Hunter in quite a long time. But Samus Hunter has gotten a number of stuff correct before E3 and has now gotten a few things correct. Since E3 and well, obviously the full gambit of rumors and stuff that has been put out by any leakers out there, you know, aren't 100% besides Practical Rush 12, which I still, I don't know how that guy has 100% track record because even people that get legit information, you know, companies change their minds and things change. But I guess Practical Rush 12 really waits until like the last possible moment to talk about stuff. So that's probably how he avoids issues. Anyways, Samus Hunter put up some stuff about a potential Nintendo Direct. So as always, this is a rumor. So put your tinfoil hats on or all that jazz. So here is the initial tweets that you said on this, you got quite a few of them, says after teasing this in a couple of posts, I'm going to talk about it more clearly. Yes, there is a Nintendo Direct scheduled for September around the time WarioWare launches. It is useless to make a list of games passing them off as certain. Because in fact, I still have nothing in hand, because it's too early. But crossing some data, I can tell you some things that are very likely. Surely the focus game will be Metroid Dread, while Advance Wars and Mario Party will have sections dedicated to some new features. There's also some major updates planned. The aforementioned Animal Crossing, the reveal of the latest character in the Smash DLC with a new story for Hyrule Warriors. Third parties will also play an important role. Capcom has to reveal a Resident Evil for the Switch. If plans for Splatoon 3 don't change, marketing for the title should begin around that time. I doubt there'll be news about Zelda Breath of the Wild sequel, other than a small notice that we'll see in a few months. As new announcements, a Kirby project is very likely. To close a title developed by Nintendo, Monolith are at a very good point with their project, since a few months have finalized the cutscenes and in recent weeks have worked on much of the music, so the project is entering the final stages. Bayonetta 3, which I've already mentioned, should be in a similar situation. There are other titles well underway as well, but those are planned at a generic 2022 or later. I repeat, at the moment the new announcements are my guesses from some of the data in my possession. It is too early at the moment to pass them off as confirmed for that particular presentation. In closing, however, I can tell you that Nintendo is also working on the next indie world scheduled before that. I forgot to mention, I heard rumors on some news sites about a Microsoft collaboration for something. If something really happened, this would be the best occasion to talk about it. And then, today, early this morning she said, wow thanks for the support, I'm reading some opinions around the web like well it's obvious the director's in September, but that really wasn't my point. The message I wanted to get across is that it'll be the first informal presentation dedicated to already announced titles and that possible new announcements will be in smaller quantities. In fact, I've been conservative in talking about the latter. As always, hype is nice, but right now the plans are to focus on titles for 2021 and early 2022. Line up that we obviously know most of by now. I have been asked to talk about Pokemon as well, but at the moment I have no news about periods for future announcements. In a couple of days, I will talk about the month of August. So that is the general rundown and just from Samus Hunter. And I gotta say, a direct in September isn't really too surprising. Nintendo traditionally has directs in September. It's a very common direct month. I think they've done it like seven of the last nine years. They've had a direct in September. So if anything, it's just a really safe bet. But yeah, it's clearly gonna obviously round out their titles for the holiday period. That's just something you need to do. And then yeah, you're getting into early 2022. The thing is, we already know a lot of what would be at this direct. We've already seen a lot of the games at this direct, but almost every single Nintendo direct, not Nintendo mini, but Nintendo direct, has new game announcements. Not saying there'll be a lot of them. There usually isn't a lot of them in the September direct, but there's usually something. What that is, I have no idea. Obviously, all of us want to see more of Breath of the Wild 2. Not so sure that you're gonna see that at this, because it would overshadow too much, I think. But still, just something to keep in the back of your minds. As for anything else to expect at this direct, if it is to happen, I don't know. I think what's weird is, what the heck's going on at the Pokemon Company? So we obviously all expected, and there were lots of rumors around a Pokemon presentation happening before E3, didn't happen. And then we're like, oh, maybe they're gonna show the games at E3. Didn't happen. Oh, maybe they're gonna show the games after E3. Hasn't really happened. Like Pokemon, there's a shiny, you know, brilliant diamond and shining pearl that comes out this year. Yeah, they come out pretty soon, and we still aren't really seeing much new for those. What about Pokemon Legends Arceus? It comes out January 28th. Still haven't really seen much for that either. It's really weird. It's the 25th anniversary of Pokemon, and the Pokemon Company is just being quiet. The only thing I can think of to justify this, because normally the Pokemon Company is very forward with all this stuff, especially when they have such exact dates for things, is that maybe there's some development issues. Got to remember that Japan has been massively impacted by the pandemic. They're actually really behind in getting people vaccinated. Obviously, we know about the new variants out there. We don't need to go down in that whole health crisis situation. But it has actually, I think, been delaying some things at the Pokemon Company, because it's also been delaying some things at Nintendo. If you wonder why 2022 looks so packed with at least major games from Nintendo, like ones actually made by Nintendo companies, it's because it's taken them a long time to make games over the last year and a half. And we'll see, you know, if an end for the pandemic is even in sight for Japan. Obviously, in the United States, I know they just, the CDC just recently changed their mandate for masks even with unvaccinated people in closed areas, not countrywide, but basically high dense populated areas. It's funny it changed while we were on vacation. So that's always great. But, yeah, this is just a really interesting thing to keep in the back of your mind about a potential future Nintendo Direct. I don't really know what else to think about it. But I do want to thank you guys for tuning in. I don't know how many more videos are coming this week, probably at least one more. Just needed to make sure we didn't go a whole week without a video. That would have been good for the old YouTube algorithm. But yeah, those who want to know, our vacation is going pretty well. How many days in are we having? Three? Four? How many days into this are we? Four days in, yeah. And we leave on Friday. Yeah, we got here on Sunday. Yeah, four days. Yeah, this is our fourth day. This is our fourth day. So yeah, it's going well. We unfortunately, for those who didn't hear the bad news, we couldn't go on our cruise. That's what we wanted to be doing. We didn't get to do it. Can't even get refunds for it. Lame. So yeah, we're going on a cruise next year, which yeah, that's exciting. But that wasn't what we wanted to do this year and ended up spending a lot more money than that wasn't going to get spent to come to Vegas instead. And it's nice here. It's just relaxing.  Alright folks, thanks so much for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video.


Any semantic theory must give an account of word and sentence meaning, explaining their nature and the relations between them. Yet such a semantic theory has little to say about any structures other than standard declarative sentences or about semantic aspects involved in conversation. Look at the following anomalies. Come there please. Well, here the adverb there is illegal in this context. Rather it should be, come here please. That is, from an external position to the position of the interlocutor. Or take this one. I hereby run to the station. Well, here the adverbial hereby requires a so-called performative verb. That is a verb that performs a certain action such as promise, declare, but run is not such a verb. Or what do you think about this one here? I promise I'll come to your party. That's not really me, is it? Anyway, the term promise normally involves that the adressee wants the promise to be realized. Is that the case here? Do you really want me to turn up at your party? I don't know. Well, here is my final example. The table is under the ashtray. Here we have a problem of perspective. Small objects are mentioned first if they are related to larger objects. Thus the table is under the ashtray is only acceptable in this situation if the ashtray is at least as big as the table, maybe in a fairytale world. The goal of pragmatics is to define these and other non-truth functional aspects of meaning, hence a more general approach to meaning. The modern use of the term pragmatics goes back to the American philosopher Charles William Morris who defined pragmatics as the study of the relation of signs to interpreters. Thus we need to make a distinction between the usual meaning of a word or a sentence and the meaning it has in specific circumstances. That is, we need to differentiate between meaning and use. Here is an example. Imagine someone says it's fairly hot in here, which is the case because there are all the lamps around me. Now what does this utterance mean? Well, it probably means that you could say some unknown person notices that the temperature at the location of the speaker is currently above average. That's the plain meaning. And what about the use? Well, the use could be something like this. Someone is intended to open the window. Now this dichotomy between semantics, the meaning on the one hand, and pragmatics, the use is controversial among linguists. Perhaps the most useful distinction is made in terms of sentence meaning versus utterance meaning, where the latter includes all secondary aspects of meaning. Two fields constitute the core of linguistic pragmatics, the analysis of utterances and the analysis of conversation. We will focus on utterances in this e-lecture. In a now famous little book entitled How to do things with words, which was posthumously published in 1962, John Langshaw Austin pointed out that a large number of utterances are part of an action. That is, they are performative. For example, I hereby name this ship HMS Titanic. This utterance is clearly in action. As soon as it is uttered by the person who is entitled to utter it, the ship will have been named accordingly. Thus uttering this sentence is an action of baptism. Oh, here's another one. There's a dog in the field. Well, this utterance is likely to be understood as a warning. Well, and how do you understand this? Don't do that. Well, maybe as an order or a request. The peculiar thing about these sentences is that they are not used to state things. That is, they're not just constitutive, but rather actively do things. Furthermore, such utterances cannot be assessed as true or false, but only as appropriate or inappropriate. How this is done has been manifested in Speech Act theory. Now, besides the insight that utterances are used to perform actions, Speech Act theory assumes that speakers are simultaneously involved in three different Speech Acts when uttering a sentence. Let us analyze these acts using our utterance. Don't do that. The first of these acts is the so-called Locutionary Act. This is the act of uttering a sentence with its meaning, comprising phonetic and syntactic aspects corresponding to any meaningful utterance. What does don't do that mean? Well, it first of all addresses an unknown person, you, the covered subject, the addressee of the Speech Act. Then don't. Well, that's the opposite of allowance. This is the symbol for negation in logic. So someone is not allowed to perform something. So you're not allowed to perform something. What is it that you're not allowed to perform? Well, it's the overt object. Probably this object here, this socket, the object of the sentence, meaning an unknown entity. Well, as I said in this case, the socket. So the Locutionary Act is related to the basic linguistic analysis of an utterance. Central to Speech Act theory is the Locutionary Act. It describes what the speaker does by uttering a sentence, that is, in performing the Locutionary Act. For example, commanding, promising, threatening, warning, and so on and so forth. The intended effect of an utterance used to perform a certain Locutionary Act is known as a Locutionary Force. Most Locutionary Acts are implicit. That is, they lack a particular performative verb signaling the act. So don't do that is an implicit order. However, we can easily make an implicit act explicit. An Locutionary Act is explicit if the utterance contains a performative verb. That is a verb that denotes the act. The optional adverb hereby can be inserted into such a performative utterance to stress its performative nature. Well, here is the explicit Locutionary Act. Now, such an explicit Locutionary Act or performative utterance follows a specific linguistic formula. It always has a subject which must occur in the first person singular. Then we have the optional adverbial hereby and a verb. And the verb, quite interestingly, must be used in the simple present tense. Now, compare the following. If I said I am hereby ordering, this would not be an order at all. It would be an explanation of what I am doing at a particular time. So it must occur in the simple present tense. And then, of course, we have an optional object which, if we use it, must occur in the second person singular or plural. There are some cases where the object could occur in the third person. For example, in the act of baptizing, I hereby name this ship, for example. Even if you use performative utterances, the interpretation might not necessarily be clear. My father, and I remember this very well, often said to me, My dear son, I promise if you do that again, I will. It was a warning, wasn't it? Shall I tell you the whole story? Well, I'd better not. Let's finally look at the Perlocutionary Act. The Perlocutionary Act denotes the effects on the listener by means of performing the Inlocutionary Act. The effects are special to the situation and may or may not be what the speaker intended. Don't do that. Well, what is the intention? Well, either the speaker succeeds in preventing the listener from touching the dangerous object or not. All speech acts have to follow certain felicity conditions. I love that word. An alternative would be appropriate conditions. Now, these conditions have to be satisfied for the performance of a speech act to be recognized as intended. There are cases where the performance of a speech act will be in felicitous or, if you prefer, inappropriate if the speaker is not a specific person in a specific context. Here are some examples of declarations. I declare openly Olympic Games. Well, can I do it? Certainly not. I'm not the person who is entitled to do so. So, I have just violated one felicity condition. I sentence you to six months in prison. Again, I can't do that. Or could you say something like, I hereby finish my oral exam? You'd love to. But you can't because it's your examiner who is entitled to do that. So, you see declarations just like the other Inlocutionary Acts such as promising or threatening. They have to follow certain conditions. Austin's approach identifies several such conditions ranging from preparatory conditions that is the necessary condition for a speech act such as the correct person who performs it to propositional conditions where an act needs to say certain things about the world which are in line with the speech act. These conditions will be discussed in a separate e-lecture about speech acts. Now, many efforts have aimed at categorizations of the types of speech acts possible in language. In fact, some acts are so universal and fundamental that they are grammaticalized into the same basic sentence types in most languages. So, for example, into statements, into questions, into orders. However, this typology only associates sentence types with their most literal unmarked illocutionary force. Generally, the set of speech acts recognized by the speakers of a language is much more diverse and more finely grained. A more sophisticated scheme was proposed by John Searle who was born in 1932. He suggested that all speech acts fall into five main categories. Representatives, things such as boasting or bragging, I'm an excellent footballer, would be such an act. Directives or commands, Commissives such as promising. Well, we've heard about some examples here. Expressive, emotional responses, something like, oh, please forgive me. And of course, declarations. With this e-lecture, you should now have some basic understanding of the fact that you can actually do something with language and that you can achieve particular effects. So, pragmatics is more than mere analysis of language. It is the examination of language and its effects you can achieve with it. This e-lecture concentrated on the effects you can achieve with utterances. A follow-up e-lecture will add the central principles of conversation. So, see you then.


What's up football fans welcome inside our Fandals Studio here in Los Angeles. It's week five you guys And we are betting it. You know what we're here for you're watching Fandals Sportsbooks more ways to win I'm Lisa Kearney. These guys are really the important people.

So make sure you download the Fandals Sportsbook app sign up for your new account and plug in the promo code More ways one thousand to get your risk-free bed up to one thousand bucks All right time to kick this thing off with a huge ASC match up in Kansas City the bills at my cheese Arrowhead is gonna be absolutely lit for Sunday night football Buffalo on a three-game winning streak after losing that first game They're in week one in those three games. They've had two shutouts outscoring their opponents 118 to 21 But that defense certainly will be tested this week against the Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City scoring 33 and a half points per game That's tied for second highest in the league tied with the Buffalo bills chiefs giving three at home in this one guys No surprise this chiefs defense has me absolutely worried ranked 31st in the league Um, David's side. Are you backing? I am taking the Buffalo bills in this one And it's because of the Kansas City defense like you said, they're just letting teams go up and down the field You're gonna let Josh Allen do that to you. I don't think so. They just not gonna be able to contain Buffalo I think we're gonna see a changing of the guards after this game at the top of the AFC odds Kansas City has been favored to win the AFC championship All year for about the last two years and I think the bills after they win this game are gonna become the favorite I just can't deal with the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs have not covered at home Since weeks eight of last year. I mean that's an oh and six against the spread This is the smallest line that we've ever seen at home with the chiefs since Patrick Mahomes with the rookie back in 2018 what is that telling you? I mean the the bills are getting a lot of respect here And they should and rightfully so here. What's interesting to me is that yeah, Kansas City defense Yeah, some question marks there Buffalo defense. I have some question marks about this mashup as well I think Pat Mahomes is going to shine in this football game But here's the important thing Buffalo has the most net yards per drive the most net points per drive of any team in the NFL up to this point They are able to find hidden yards and to me. This is a sign of a smart football team I suspect that both defenses are going to struggle here We're gonna see a big back-and-forth affair so it may very well be last team with the ball wins So which team do you trust more to me? I actually trust Shawn McDermott a little bit more those hidden yards is a sign that Buffalo is a smart team I think they're gonna be a little bit smarter in this one. I'm taking the bills I'm gonna keep going to find someone that's on my side I guess by the way the bills are three and one against the spread this season Let's get the right take off for this match up here and for that We bring in our NFL expert Cole right joining us from Chicago Cole.  Well, Lisa I tell you I love this matchup of those top-flight quarterbacks But this matchup is going to be all about that Buffalo defense commanding the eyeballs on Sunday night football because we know that Leslie Frazier's unit Well, they're number one in the league they posted two shutouts like you said and route to those shutouts They've scored 75 points with Josh Allen, of course the straw that serves the drink But he's playing at a high level and then there's mr. Playing at a high level every single time he's on the field Of course, that's Patrick Mahomes and last time out versus Philly. We saw him toss five touchdown passes So when it comes to his weapons, we know they're starting to jail and that couldn't spell bad news for Buffalo's defense And we'll see how they're able to squeak things out offensively, but I see Kansas City winning this one 27 to 20 Lisa That's what I'm talking about Cole. I see you now If you roll with Cole tail him take Mahomes and the Chiefs to give those points a winning $50 bet means you're gonna Click more than $98 again. That's a Fandalsports book app All right now to the only undefeated team left in the NFL and the highest scoring team in the league here The Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is crushing it as my starting quarterback No one cares about my fantasy team though He's also the favorite it to win the MVP at plus 450 at the Fandalsports book on the other side You got 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo left last week's game with that right calf injury The Niners say he will get the start this week if he's able to go man That soft tissue injury is definitely tough the Cardinals giving five points in this matchup Pony bringing you in which side are you backing in this NFC West matchup? I like the 49ers I think it's too much too soon for the Cardinals They've been probably the best team in the NFL the record backs that up But I think in a situation like this where it'll probably my opinion be a lot of Trey Lance That'll be a change of pace that I think gives the Cardinals defense some problems. So the line's big enough We've seen Arizona great against LA almost lost the Jacksonville because it's five points Dave I'm gonna take the Niners. Well, they haven't just been great against LA But they've been great against everybody this year for consecutive games with at least 30 points and 400 yards of offense last year. They did that five times becoming one of only nine teams in NFL history to do that I think they'll do that again. How are you gonna stop this offense right now? They're just on an absolute roll that you've got me with the last week. You schooled me. You took Arizona I was not a believer. I'm a believer. I just don't see how you stop this offense right now. They're firing on all cylinders I'll stick with the Cardinals and guys. I say I need more on this matchup Time to go deeper into the numbers and analyze the next gen stats on these cards and Niners And as we know the NFL analyzes the location speed and acceleration of every player on every play Which then a combine to create unique sets of data that we get to tap into which is very exciting Why I bring it in our analytics guy give us a stat that you see in these next gen Stats in this database that is helping you bet this game right here. What's fascinating about this MVP run for Kyler Murray is he's doing it without a lot of help involving play design and play calling Here's what I mean when looking at his quarterback grid for the entire season There's a lot of green showing which parts of the field where his passer rating is higher than league average overall His completion percentage over expected is the highest among starters at 9.2 percent individual play success rate Nearly 53 percent as well. We all know how fast and nimble he is outside the pocket He's on the run more than 16 percent of the time which is slightly above average But pre snap motion for the entire offense. It's only 37 percent third lowest in football To put that 37 percent in perspective the Niners run motion 84 percent of the time play design is why the line is too big for me, especially in a divisional rivalry I'm gonna take San Francisco absolutely fascinating loving seeing all of that awesome stuff from Ed Awesome stuff from these next level info from next gen stats If you want to tail Ed take the Cardinals giving the points here a winning $50 bet means you're gonna collect more than $93 and a reminder you can make your first bet bet on the app risk-free Just sign up for a new Fandall sportsbook account using the promo code more ways 1000 You're gonna get that risk-free bet up to 1000 bucks again That's promo code more ways 1000 it'll be on your screen all show long and since we're talking numbers Let's just keep it going time now for our DFS download Of course, that means a chance to win millions in prizes for free Yes, Fandall is hooking it up for you for free just head to faddle.com sign up for the weekly free DFS contest and play free each week.

Hey JJ Hey Lisa this week I'm gonna kick things off at the tight end position and look at the $5,200 Jared Cook who's coming off a really big game against Vegas cook this season has about a 15% target share in this charger's offense There's nothing wrong with that and this week. They're facing a Cleveland team It's been pretty average when looking at adjusted fantasy points allowed to the position But they've been really good against wide receivers and they've been really good against running backs I could funnel more looks Jared Cook's way He's just a great way to save some cash and spend elsewhere because it's only $5,200. I think he's a great play There's also Damian Williams who's $5,800 David Montgomery is gonna be out for about a month Damian Williams in that Bears backfield is likely going to be the lead back without Montgomery and Montgomery's leaving behind a Workhorse roll in weeks two and three his running back rush share was about 95 percent His target share was north of 17 percent. Those are very very good numbers This week they have a match up against Vegas and it's a good one Vegas is the fourth worst team at defending running backs when looking at adjusted fantasy points allowed So I like Damian Williams quite a bit at that price point. Finally, though, there's cd lamb He's $6,900. He hasn't come through over the last couple of weeks in this Cowboys offense It's been pretty tight and heavy, but the peripherals are still fine Dallas is one of the best offenses in football and lamb has dipped below a 22 percent target share in just one game this season This week they get the Giants and what could be a fairly high scoring game And Dallas is the highest implied team total on the main slate So I like cd lamb given the fact that he's still below that $7,000 price tag Awesome stuff. JJ. Thank you.

All right back to our game previews now and for that We head to Cincinnati where we'll get the packers to end the bangles in one of only two games this week Fitting two teams with winning records against each other green bay has won three in a row after that embarrassing 38 three week one loss in new Orleans a Cincinnati three and one But needed that walk-off game winning field goal to beat the winless Jags on thursday night football I know a win is a win the bangles now well rested here three point home underdogs in this one To add do you like since he in the points in this spot? I actually do and hopefully Folks pounced on when it was three and a half because I really really like the bangles in that spot Now it's at three now It's a little bit tricky as far as making a decision But to me these two offenses are a lot closer than maybe people realize early down pass frequency Your team really likes to throw it on early downs too much packers 22nd in football the bangles 31st in football And that's not too good epa cpo e composite my preferred quarterback metric for evaluating overall ability Aaron rogers comes in sixth so far this season But joe burrow is seventh and both are only separated by a few thousands of a point So to me these are two similar offenses So i'm going to want points so give me the bangles the problem with the packers is nojair alexander How are they going to defend this great trio of receivers that the bangles have? What an opportunity for since and adi to prove that they are real a win here They stay atop the division remember they have the lions and the jets as two of the next three opponents after this They could head into week nine hosting the browns with a chance to head into their bi week in week number 10 Still in front in this division. So this is a very important game for the bangles. I think they could get the job done I'm with you. I'm going to take since natty and of course packers news coming out Adam shifter tweeting earlier former corba cowboys linebacker jalen smith That was let go looks like he's now headed to green base. So he'll be on that roster. We'll see him in that game as well Let's move on now to a big nfc east division match up the cowboys have hit their stride Look at this. Dak Prescott tied for third in the league with 10 touchdown passes He's the odds on favorite here and the sentimental favorite too many to win the nfl's comeback player of the year award at the Fandals fourth book at minus 165 on the other side the gmen coming off their first win of the season after beating new Orleans last week giants getting seven on the road in this matchup. Dave give me your pick Okay, you know i'm documented loving the giants as a road dog We got that home last week, but in this particular situation even though they're 10 and 1 against the spread their last 11 Is road dog I can't pull the trigger on new york because dak prescott owns the new york giants before getting hurt in week five against them Last year he had covered six in a row against the spread and they are just firing with either Zeke or pollard these guys are just coming out of the backfield and rolling 165 rushing yards per game Trayvon digs leading the nfl with five intercepts on the other side for dallas So both offensively and defensively. I think they dominate this game. I'm willing to lay the seven pony Yeah, I don't see the edge for the cowboys When the giants offense is on the field I think this is going to be a shootout nip and tuck daniel jones is coming off his best game 400 yards did not turn the ball over was excellent against the saints in a road wind there as A seven and a half point underdog no respect for the giants Kenny golliday is coming off his best game in a giants uniform sake one barkley Went off against new orleans and scored the game winning touchdown seven too much in a rivalry game. I'm taking the giants All right, great stuff by you guys Let's move on now to the bright lights a monday night the colts travel to baltimore to take on the ravens in a ground and pound Matchup this game features two of the top 10 rushers in the nfl got colts running back jonathan taylor ranking 10th in the league just behind Raven's quarterback lamar jackson who ranks ninth jackson also doing it with his arm last week throwing for more than 300 yards For the first time this season guys indy is getting seven in this matchup pony bringing you back in here right now Colts on the road for the third straight week who you got in this matchup? Yeah, I think the colts and frank rike. I don't think he gets enough credit lisa I mean they're dealing with so many injuries their offensive line is banged up Carson went says bad ankles All three of their losses are to playoff teams and in the case of the game against the rams It came down to one of the last plays so I don't think the colts will win the game But I think given the way that they've you know kept themselves in games Still very much alive in the afc south. I think that's seven points is too many. Give me indy Well pony, I don't know any colts then they have to appreciate what jonathan taylor's been able to do in such a small sample size So far this year 274 yards in just four games this season and last week We saw him with a high this year of 103 yards But for the colts it's going to come down the quarterback play carcin wence One in seven over his last eight games plus indy other winless versus teams at 500 or better this year and baltimore Well, they're three in one lamar jackson and he's hitting stride when it comes to that passing game He's throwing for at least 235 yards and one touchdown every single game this year and he and the ravens run game Well plain and simple they're going to give the colts defense fits load up on baltimore in this one 28 to 17 game There it is. All right. Thank you. We'll see you guys in just a bit right now We want to get back to these next gen stats and you used these ed earlier in the show to pick Which game was it the niners and the cardinals? We used the next gen stats earlier give us three Stats that you're specifically using that give us good value on the fandals sports book Right now, how many fantasy teams do you have with sam darnold around none none none zero? Well, let's start with him Carolina sam darnold could not keep up in a shootout week four because of pressure generated by the cowboys Here is the panther gunslingers pass chart from that game completion percentage over expected Was negative two and a half percent one of the lower marks of the week darnold took on 15 pressures from his foes had an epa under pressure of negative 14.1 That's not good and it led to five sacks and sacks are more of a cubie stat than an offensive line mark So it's something he will have to address. I suspect the matchup against the eagles is more advantageous So give me the panthers next mac jones officially had a favorite target in new england as jacoby miers Here's his route chart from last week against the buccaneers Clearly he was active with how many routes run and how many yards after the catch he accrued As shown in green but an advanced look though shows it wasn't his best performance catch right over expected of a negative 6.8 Aeryard total of 67.6 yards and miers was only open a third of the time Often not making him the best target available. Obviously he should be able to do more against the texans But will it be enough to cover an eight and a half point spread? I'm gonna say no here houston covers finally It's news when the jets win and they have benefited from lackluster quarterback play from ryan tanahill Here's the titans pass chart from week four tanahill did not have his two most prolific receivers julio jones and aj brown Leading to a completion percentage over expected of negative 4.3 What the injuries did was limit throwing anything deep if you break down tanahill's epa by distance It was okay from zero to ten yards, but 11 to 20 yards of medium depth You get a negative epa then beyond 20 yards you see an abysmal negative 5.8 epa the health of personnel Will matter significantly, but for now i'm gonna back jacksonville over the titans. Yeah all those negatives Not so good. Not so good awesome stuff by ed. Thank you so much I take that information use it to place your bets right now on the fandalsportsbook app You can place a wager on the bets we just talked about or hey hundreds of others available right now It's the fandalsportsbook app Bring it in.

Oh, thank you You have just 10 seconds to answer and pony you're in pittsburgh the stealers have lost three in a row There are a one and a half point home favorite against the three and one broncos. What you got Yeah, very interesting line given the way the stealers have played But I think it's because of questions at the quarterback position for denver Is it going to be teddy bridge water drew lock bolt? And I think for that reason the stealers defense gets it done in the stealers cover All right, Dave norland that washington both teams two and two saints two and a half point favorites So taylor hannacky seven touchdowns in the last three weeks james winston Three touchdowns in the last three weeks. He did have five in that opening week game But to me washington's playing better right now hail to the football team Changed the theme so well done. Hey col you're in chicago the two and two bears had west to los vegas bears getting five and a half who you got Well, Lisa, these are two teams on two different trajectories We know that the bears offense and not great right now But they do have a new quarterback one in justin fields. He's shown some signs of improvement So the oakland offense Well, I don't care that they're top 10 in a whole bunch of different categories the bears defense They travel well, so i'm going bears in this one 21 17 The bears and the jets and falcons are kicking off nfl sunday from tatnam hot spur stadium in london We're back across the pond. Yes. We are jets are getting three. What a jolly good matchup I would say so Here is a player to keep in mind for the jets john franklin mires. He's generating a lot of quarterback pressures already Did zack wilson really impressed me per se? Not just yet, but it's the jets defense that has i'm back in new york Awesome stuff great.

What you got That's the only way I know how to bring it lisa and while the record suggests to go panthers at three and one I have to lean with jaylon herts and those philadelphia eagles and this one top ten offense They're solid when it comes to the run and the pass and carolina Well, all three of their wins this year have come versus teams.

Yeah, I take a shot with a four-teamer here I think that the patriots left it all in the field last week against the bucks I think they bounce and come out flat against the texans texans cover the bears can cover And then I think just dallas and the vikings need to win a seven point favorite So that's going to bring you back over 5100 Alternate total and eagles panthers There are several routes for this game to become high scoring The jail in her savante smith connection has been impressive and there are some key injuries to this vaunted carolina defense I'm going over 54 and a half thousand dollar risk free bet for 3 000 I think it's time for the buccaneers offense to break out, you know, they barely won in new england that huge anticipated matchup the week before in la So i'm going to take the bucks to blow out miami the game to go over because tampa's going to score 30 plus points Put that in the same game parlay and you're going to get a return You're going to collect over three thousand dollars lisa.

Which team wins the afc north? Well, i'm taking the value route go with sincenatti I mean i think with the way joe burrow has played he's the best quarterback in the division Better than baker mayfield definitely better than what's left of ben roflesperger And given their weapons on offense and the easiest schedule in the division I think they're worth taking a flyer on lisa. All right add cowboys over under 10 and a half regular season wins Fun fact concerning the cowboys offense. They've used 30 different players much more so than any other offense in the nfl I think that depth gets them over 10 and a half awesome Dave which quarterback will end up with the most regular season passing yards We've got tom brady of patrick mahomes derrick car the three favorites right now. He's not on your fantasy team Sam darnold currently six six with the team that's been Having huge leads and they're playing you know offense in the fourth quarter that does not benefit him getting passing yard If their defense does not hold up. He's gonna come from behind darnold Okay, cool. Which team will have the best regular season record tape of a the current favorite plus 400 Well, I picked arizona is my super bowl favorite and kyler murray is my mvp favorite He's third right now in passing in arizona. Well, they're pretty good when you look at all of his weapons They're starting to come together uh 14 and three. That's how I see things shaking out for those arizona cardinals Okay, Dave. How about giving a little defense a little love here Which player is going to have the most regular season sacks mild garret the favor right now at plus 500 Yeah, this is a fun bet. I'm gonna go with nick most of the 49ers He had nine sacks in his rookie season. He got hurt early on last year But he's averaging a sack of game so far with four. It's only two behind right now. I think you can finish up strong He's 14 to one. Okay. Ed, which team wins the nfc We've got the bucks packers rams the current favorites right now Buccaneers are still my favorite But if you're looking for a dark horse third best quarterback in terms of epa cpoe composite is jamus winston Sates are plus 1900 to win the nfc. There's a reason Pony who finishes with the most regular season or receiving yards here tyrie kill had himself paid day last week He's the favorite at plus 700 I like cooper cup. He leads the nfl in targets You know, he's getting the ball for whatever reason that staffer doesn't like thrown it to robert woods He's got a connection and a chemistry with cup. So I think there's good value there Okay, cool. Which team will have the worst regular season record lions have the shortest odds there plus 200 Well, Lisa, usually I'd say the Jags are going to Jag that would be my stock answer But uh, I'm giving you the Jacksonville Jaguars because of their leadership or lack there of the head coach They got to fly with the team and they can't issue lane duck apologies two and 15 at best for the Jacksonville Jaguars Oh, yeah.

Schematic and wiring diagrams and what we're going to do is show you how you can use a schematic diagram to wire up a device Or to create a wiring diagram So first off we have here our basic start-stop push button with a M coil M contacts and overload contacts here What we're going to do is show how we can use this circuit to actually wire up an actual physical circuit So here we have our power circuit. We have a three phase power coming in We have our disconnect. We have the interlock. That's what the dotted line means. We have some fuses here We have our M contacts or motor contacts and we have our overloads our heaters down here and our three phase motor On this side. We have our control circuit. We have our push button stations We have our M coil We have our hold-in contacts and then we have our overload contacts and we're going to use a schematic To physically wire up our control circuit and get this whole thing working properly So the first thing I do whenever I'm working on these types of circuits is I just draw a quick schematic up a Schematic remember shows how a circuit works electrically, but not how it's physically wired, but it's still extremely useful So what we have here is a stop button start button M coil M contacts overload contacts Let's take a look at down here We physically have an M coil right here Which is going to be this M coil in the schematic our start push button our stop push button in the schematic our three phase Overloads three phase overloads and then we have our actual power circuit here So the first thing we're going to do is go ahead and number up this Circuit if you don't understand how the numbering system works make sure you watch the video on numbering systems in motor control So here we go. We're going to start with one here We've got one coming to this node then we're gonna on the other side of that node go to All these points are the same points electrically. So there's a two two and a two then on the we have a break 33 and a three a four between the coil and the overloads and then five from the overloads to the other side of the power Then what we do is we take the numbers that we've Assigned in our schematic and we place them into the circuit itself So we have our stop a one and a two so we're going to go one two there our start Which is a two and a three is there two and three there our M coil Which is three and four is notice is three and four here our holding contacts or ceiling contacts or auxiliary contacts two three two three our three phase overloads set Four five four five and then we have power which we're grabbing from one and five We're going to use full voltage which means we're going to grab our power directly from the power circuit And you notice that I'm taking power after the fuse here But before the contacts because we need this power to be in order to close these Contacts so we definitely need to be upstream of them and we need them to be downstream of the fuse in case there's some sort of Short circuit within this circuit that the fuse itself will blow So what we'll do now is we're going to go ahead and we're going to play connect the dots So we're going to attach ones to ones, so I'm just going to quickly draw that in here So let's go from we're going to go one and go all the way down here to one Then what we'll do is we'll go two to two so we've got a two at this node So we'll go up to that point there and now I'm also going to take a two over to here and take it up to that point there Now one thing to note is that I don't ever want to attach this wire Halfway through a wire here. Let me show you what I mean by that I don't want to take this to and go from that and Draw it over to there that would make no sense because physically you wouldn't do that out in the field You're always trying to attach it at a nodal point So either from that node or that node to attach to there doesn't matter which node you do because they're all going to be The same point electrically just pick one or the other so we'll get rid of those And we'll go ahead and we'll redraw our two to two So we've got all of our twos attached here We've got this point to this point to this point so that takes care of our twos Then what we'll do is I'll take our threes, so we'll take a three from this point and We'll take it over To their point there and then again we have another three So we're going to take this three and we'll move it over to this three here and that takes care of all of our threes Next up we have our four, so we're going to go from this four and we'll jump over this wire and come along over to this four here And last up we have our number five. We have no other fives to attach to so we'll take this And we'll go up over and attach to the line at that point there So what we have here now is we basically completed a wiring diagram and this is a great illustration as to why Your schematic diagram is a whole lot easier to look at than your wiring diagram And it's easier to troubleshoot off that and it also shows in this video Basically how easy it is to take a schematic diagram and go ahead and wire things up because these are physical wires So we can go ahead and this could be a wire that would go through to three Go through the four now the way I've got it drawn as I'm coming out of the sides of these Points on the push button, but generally what you do is you come out of the bottom or the top So all these wires would come either out of the bottom or the top and away we go So what we've done now is we've taken a schematic diagram We numbered it we use those numbers to attach values to the numbers in our actual physical Elements and then we use those numbers to play connect the dots and to actually physically go ahead and wire our circuit


Coming up on D T N S using a moth antenna on a drone to detect smells. Why Uber is not giving up on autonomous cars and how to deal with TV subscription fatigue. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, December 8th, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from Studio Redwood. I'm Sarah Lane and from the Oh, well, I'm the show's producer Roger. Don't go off script. Roger. It's hard to improvise. I know I know. Joining us today, host of AVXL Patrick Norton. Welcome. How's it going, man? I am delighted to be here. I am full of mirth and good cheer. And indeed, we were just having a great conversation about moths and seagulls and why the California seagull is the state bird of Utah. You got to get that wider conversation. Good day. Internet become a member at patreon.com slash D T N S. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Couple of Google notes for you. Samsung announced that Google Nest devices will become works with smart things certified. That means that your Nest thermostat, your camera and your doorbell can all be controlled through the Samsung smart things app and also streamed to Samsung TVs and refrigerators. Should you so desire Google also confirmed to the verge that all Stadia users will be able to live stream directly to YouTube starting Tuesday nine to five Google. Notice the feature started rolling out yesterday Monday research organization IPVM shared a document with the Washington Post showing Huawei facial recognition software has the capability of sending automated Uighur alarms to authorities when its camera system identifies a member of the Uighur ethnicity. The document was found on Huawei's website and removed after the post and IPVM asked for comment. Huawei and Meg V say it was quote a test and it has not seen real world application. Engineers at Cloudflare and Apple have developed a new internet protocol called oblivious DNS over HTTPS or ODOH. I like to think of it as odoh. That makes it harder for internet providers to know which websites you visit. So instead of a browser simply using a DNS resolver to convert a web address to a machine readable IP address, which is how it works. It's an encrypted process though. So odoh decouples DNS queries from the user by encrypting the DNS query and then passing it through a proxy server. The proxy server knows who's requesting it but not what site and the DNS resolver knows what site they're requesting but not who was requesting it. If you'd like to know a little bit more about DNS and how it works check out our Know a Little More podcast episode about DNS at know a little more .com. I like to think the odoh is a reference to Deep Space Nine somehow. Two Imperial College graduates have developed a browser called Zane spelled X-A-Y-N meant to protect your privacy while still customizing things like search results. The user will train the AI on its preferences by swiping on things like news headlines. It then uses the ZaneNet framework which was developed for uploading anonymous machine learning data to a server before sending a refined model back to your phone. Zane again X-A-Y-N is available for iOS and Android. Google announced an app called Look to Speak to help people with speech and motor impairments communicate better. With a phone positioned slightly below eye level you could look left or right to choose from a list of phrases which the device then speaks out loud. The phrases can be personalized so that the user, through the user though that setup is not accessible by eye gaze so it still requires some assistance. Google found that the app was helpful in environments where other accessibility devices weren't practical such as in transit if you're in the shower, if you're in an urgent situation, or maybe if you're outdoors. Look to speak is available on Android 9.0 and newer including Android 1. All right let's talk a little more about Uber and its autonomous car plans. Indeed so this story broke right at the end of DTNS yesterday. Uber announced on Monday that it's selling its self-driving unit advanced technologies group also known as ATG to Aurora Innovation, a competitor to Uber. The deal is expected to close in Q1 but if you think well is Uber given up on autonomous vehicles? Maybe not. Uber CEO Dara Cosvershahi will join Aurora's board and Uber and ATG investors and employees will own 40% of Aurora following the deal. Uber will also invest $400 million into Aurora directly and Aurora's autonomous cars will eventually operate on Uber's ride-hailing platform. Aurora was founded by Google's former lead engineer for autonomous cars Chris Ermson along with Sterling Anderson who helped lead Tesla's Model X project and Drew Bagnell who ran Carnegie Mellon's research lab and worked on autonomous vehicles at Uber. So they all are in the space and Gadgetz Matthew Beatum notes that this may be Uber outsourcing the hard work in a way that minimizes risk but still lets Uber reap the rewards if it all works. Yeah the the whole idea with with Uber developing autonomous cars was that eventually that would reduce costs because it would have autonomous cars taking people around instead of having to pay drivers and if we set aside Uber's totally fraught relationship with drivers and how much they pay them for a second you can see why that would make sense just in in a general you know like oh this will be cheaper we could we could make cheaper fares etc etc. I do think that you called Aurora a competitor and that is true up until the point that Aurora gets Uber's ride-hailing or autonomous car business at which point I guess they stop being competitors and start being collaborators. Yeah yeah.  I was I part of me always thought that that some aspect of their effort if they hadn't they've obviously spent a huge amount of money and resources on autonomous vehicles but part of me always thought that Uber's move in this direction was part of the reason they got such a ridiculous amount of funding in the earlier VC stages and then we're going to eliminate the cost of drivers. Well yeah I mean two years ago that was still absolutely the play was you know that the drivers were the you know the first version of what would eventually be you know a bunch of autonomous cars taking people around everywhere obviously 2020 hurt some of Uber's business pretty heavily you know a lot of people aren't sitting in the back of cars anymore but Uber Eats has seen a huge uptick because people are at home not wanting to go out and they're still wanting food so I think that the company is saying listen if Aurora can do the hard stuff and and we can take a big stake in the success that the company has in the future why wouldn't they and they're trying to save money and you know I mean Uber has had no end with Anthony Lewandowski and the whole lawsuit with Waymo with the death of a person getting struck by an Uber autonomous car that had a safety driver who who didn't do their job you know this has been difficult for Uber and I think that also makes sense to say let's hand it over to a company that's doing very well Aurora has Fiat Chrysler it has Hyundai as and several other people as clients so this makes sense to for Uber to say you know maybe we're not the organization that should be running this and we should invest in and partner with a platform that can provide this technology to us when it's ready Apple introduced the AirPods Max over the ear headphones this morning supporting high fidelity and spatial audio adaptive EQ and active noise cancellation they feature 40 millimeter dynamic drivers Apple's H1 chip that's the same one in the AirPods that means you can use active noise cancellation and transparency mode with windows because that H1 chip will will activate that and Android you cannot use the spatial audio the spatial audio requires a connection to an Apple device a digital crown is on the headphones to control your volume and playback activate Siri answer phone calls a separate button switches between active noise cancellation and transparency mode on the AirPods Pro you you kind of hold for a long press on the new AirPods Max you just tap that button Apple says you should get 20 hours with active noise cancellation and spatial audio enabled so pretty good battery life if it meets what they're saying Apple says the knit mesh and the headband reduce pressure so it should be more comfortable there's memory foam in the ear cups which they say will create a better seal that's not cheap replacement cushions are going to cost you 69 bucks each AirPods Max AirPods Max come in gray silver blue green and pink and can be ordered in the U.S. for five hundred forty nine dollars that's more than the Bose yes for right now with shipments starting December 15th and Apple also announced Apple Fitness Plus will finally launch December 14th in the U.S. UK Australia Canada Ireland and New Zealand it's 10 bucks a month 80 bucks a year or if you pay for Apple one premiere bundle it's included in that that cost you 30 dollars a month Patrick you're the host of AV Excel what do you make of these headphones I I don't know I was kind of staggered like a lot of people by the price that's a pretty impressive price for noise canceling headphones even from Apple I I pre-ordered a pair going to get them very curious I am a feared that it will be a lot like many of the wireless Apple products where any improvement because the previous product was so awful people will be like sound amazing compared to and it's like they don't if you buy a competing product at the same price it'll probably sound better mostly I want to see what they've done with the noise cancellation given that so many of the patents are nailed down on that by other companies very curious here with the microphone quality is they do a really they have like nine microphones in it or something like that right so I think it's nine for the noise cancellation and three for your voice okay there's a lot of mics you know there's so many microphones it's a little kind of just disturbing I have to say I have the AirPods Pro and the active noise cancellation is quite serviceable it it knocks out leaf blowers and airplanes it is weird where it doesn't work it's it's very you can tell it's been tuned to certain situations and there are other situations where it just doesn't work because it wasn't tuned for that I had that experience I've spent a lot of time in the last year with some of Sony's overyear noise cancelling headphones and one it was kind of fascinating experiencing some of those because they the the EQ on those is really bizarre out of the box especially the low end as in there's way too much bass and but it's also kind of I'm very very curious to see what the noise cancellation is like on this because the I was yeah I was like oh the the inner is like the the the pods the noise cancellation works but it was weird how much it didn't cover or maybe it's weird how much of my life which situations it didn't cover it's fit within the the noise cancellation capabilities or a curve for those in my first thought this morning when I saw the press release because that all it really was is like gosh that you know is how it's just kind of under the radar but then I thought okay well it wouldn't have made sense in the Apple Silicon you know Mac announcement a couple of weeks ago it just didn't really work probably wouldn't want to bundle in an AirPods Max announcement with the redesigned HomePod because because people doesn't reason to buy a HomePod right because you're like oh let's get get the headphones and also the price is pretty high so it's like I think it's Apple saying we're in the holiday season let's see what we let's see what we sell you know get them out there and then we can make them part of maybe a bigger Apple music push the next time we want to talk about that yeah I am excited about Apple Fitness I I don't have an Apple watch so that's something that I will have to come to terms with if I want to use it in in any realistic way but I think that for anybody who is reconciling the fact that they might not go back to a public gym anytime soon 10 bucks a month for something that you use a lot again it always depends on how much you use it but that's a that's a pretty cheap gym membership if you've got if you've got an Apple TV or you know you want to cast it from an iPhone or something to a monitor it's kind of cool I'm looking forward to trying it out few people sold off some Peloton stock today after that yeah oh Peloton engineers at the University of Washington nothing to do with Peloton in the sense have developed a small drone that uses moth antennas as chemical sensors and they call it the smelly copter the team took the antenna from a common hawk moth and then mounted it onto a drone connecting each of the antenna to a thin metal wire the antenna status changes when it's exposed to a certain chemical the platform passes a light electrical current through the antenna to monitor that status if it loses a scent it can automatically fly crosswind until it picks up the scent again the moth antenna is fast it's reliable and it's more accurate than traditional sensors of the same size and power of course it can only detect some chemicals naturally so one of the next steps is to figure out how to reprogram it to be able to pick up more the hope is that it could be used for things like detecting gas leaks detecting unexploded IEDs search and rescue etc the paper on the smelly copter is published in the journal bio-inspiration and biomemetrics biomemetics biomemetics because it's mimicking mimetic ah yes yeah yeah um man when I watched the video for this thing I had no idea how big a hawk moth antenna was it's it's big and long and fuzzy and uh and yet that when they bend it over and and and attach it to the wires uh it really does work they they were showing it going after a flower scent so they had it hooked up to the drone and they had the flower scent being blown by a fan and they kept moving the fan and the drone would stop and then find it and then start heading towards it like uh essentially they said look we tried all kinds of materials to mimic this and nothing worked as well as the actual moth antenna itself I love it uh moth to a flame or something but yeah this is this is this is neat hopefully it's a flame hopefully you know stays safe everybody but yeah it's a helicopter using uh hawk moths yeah shout out to the University of Washington for for an excellent name on your product there yeah uh what do you want to hear us talk about on the show folks more moth stories let us know one way to let us know is in our subreddit submit stories of vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com oh streaming services they are hot AT&T CEO john stanky today told a conference that hbo max subscriptions rose from 8.6 million at the end of q3 to 12.6 million as of early December at that same conference mbc universal CEO jeff shell said peacock past 26 million signups as of monday up four million since october we talked about the possibility that Warner media might have a couple new services out there we talked about discovery plus last week launching and you may think well wait a minute how am I going to afford all this stuff here's some stats to consider in march decision data put out a survey and found the average us cable package cost people 217 dollars and 42 cents a month that's how much people were actually paying for their cable service now that usually includes internet sometimes it might even include phone but you still save money when you cancel that tv part a study from cg 42 found people shaved an average of 85 dollars a month when they cut out cable tv a study from lendesco put the average closer to 115 dollars a month that's how much money people have to play with once they cut cable now i usually take that and i compare it to an over the top streaming service like sling tv or youtube tv if you apply it to that you definitely could save some money but what about netflix what about hulu what about disney plus what about peacock what about hpl backs what about discovery plus do those count too i because i used to say well you were going to pay for netflix and cable tv anyway it's just an added feature like an hbo or a showtime but there's so many of these and they feel essential patrick i know this is a question you've been wrestling with oh well i was we you and i were going back and forth in email before this episode and i was laughing because i wanted to talk to you about this because i think you're the only person i know who probably subscribes to more things than i do and it was i think it was the the discovery plus announcement really kind of pushed it over the top for me where i was sitting there and it's like okay amazon prime i got that with you know amazon video again with amazon prime but it's you know there's apple tv plus and there's netflix and there's you know i started rattling off all the ones and it's like okay i got a star's subscription so i could so i could see american gods it starts adding up right if you want all the new star tricks stuff you need cbs and it's i was sitting there i was laughing in pre-show when we were talking before the show on good day internet because you know it's been so long since i've had cable or satellite i was flabbergasted by the 217 dollars and 12 like 42 cents a month i'm like is that is that include phone is that is that just cable services that's ridiculous but you know i'm still also at one point i think i was paying like 140 bucks for not much in the way of cable in the bay area and it's interesting to when you start looking like how do i parse this should i buy the season of the show i want do i have to wait for the season to show i want because of the you know the windows appearances is everything changing in in 2000 or is that you know 2021 because you know all the theaters are still going to be a mess until this summer you know if you want to see the new wonder woman movie and you don't want to go to a theater well you can see it on you know December 25th and HBO max it's been kind of crazy watching all of this evolve over this year and things that i've never seen out of stock before like subwoofers from reputable companies or den and AVRs has been sold out so i don't know i i feel like a lot of companies may be accelerating the launch of their online services just to get them in and get people hooked before the end of the pandemic which is cynical even for me or really practical for them but it's kind of crazy how many different competing services are are from all the different studios at this point and google and you know the list kind of goes on yeah yeah i mean they were all in the works but right i i think launch plans and promotional items certainly things like wonder woman on HBO max sure are definitely due to the pandemic like like we say with so many things regarding the pandemic the trend was there but it got accelerated right i think that's true here too i yeah and there's so many streaming services but i i know for myself if i'm a creature of habit it's like there's only so many things you can watch in the small amount of free time you have in any given day right so if i'm like oh i like things on netflix oh here's a series that's going to take me a little while to get through i'm not like clamoring to you know buy a bunch of other subscriptions because i kind of got my thing and then you get used to it and then you're like oh this is just what i watch because this is what i have the way that cable subscriptions used to work for folks i mean two hundred dollars plus per month even with internet is i mean it's a lot of money you can you can definitely whittle it down and save a lot of money and and still see a lot of the stuff that you want to watch but i think that the folks you know Discovery Plus for example i mean wasn't necessary for Discovery Plus to roll out last week i mean i think that the network's like we just got to get in there you know we got to be a player or else it's going to become one of these things that you know early 2021 people would be like well i already subscribed to five cable cutting services why would i bother you know i'm i don't have enough time to watch your content even if it's good yeah i started listening it out netflix hbomax disney plus stars amazon pran apple tv plus showtime criterion and i think i'm missing at least one service and i'm not talking about any of the monthly audio services that i subscribed to it was well these are your subscriptions yeah yeah right it gets it yeah you know it's so so here's a few of my thoughts because i i i cover this very closely not only here but also on cord killers and i think all the companies looking that this are at the point where they realize there are still tens of millions of people in the united states who haven't signed up for one of these so there's lots of people to go around and and nobody's really behind at this point so you want to get your service launched and out there so you can get your market right discovery plus isn't meant to capture the same group that netflix is netflix is a wide appealing one discovery plus knows there are people who love our programming and we want to get them when they cancel cable and we want to be there for them when they're like well i'm canceling cable but i don't want to miss shark week or or whatever hg tv yeah yeah or house hunters so so that's happening and i think that the mental disconnect that's happening to a lot of people is in the old world you paid one price you got most of the channels you might pay a little more to get that one special channel which you also had to pay for everything else in that tier and then you decide whether you wanted to add stars or hbo or showtime to that right yeah part part of what was so crazy about that is is there we said you know i remember seeing studies where they were like okay the average consumer has 400 cable channels they skim 17 and 95 percent of their time or 90 percent of their time is spent on a maximum of four channels so to speak to to sarah's point earlier people watch what they want to watch very specifically and we haven't got used to being in charge of that right the the mental space is well okay i could pay one price for live channels like an atnt tv or youtube tv and then i have to pay all this money for all the all the card services and i'm used to having everything so i guess i have to have everything and no you don't uh the the question i have is which ones are like hbo and showtime is netflix a new way to pay for a channel or a new way to pay for a premium channel that you only have sometimes when there's something you want to watch on it and how does peacock fit in there how does hulu fit in there it's a new model and you have control of it i think it's a more complex model because if you don't want to keep because you have control yeah because you have control you have to keep track so the next phase of the cord cutting revolution i think and we're starting to see the hints of it with apple tv plus and amazon prime and roku is platforms that help you keep track of everything and manage your bill so you only have one bill to pay and you can decide like oh it'll make it easy to add and remove stuff as shows come along that you want to watch well and i think with your so many original shows that have been hits then the whole kind of like oh pay for cable tv still maybe i'm overpaying a little bit but i get everything just not true i mean i have conversations with my mom all the time where she's like queen's gambit sounds good what is it okay netflix mandalorian disney plus yeah they have hamilton too maybe i'll do that and so it's like none of this is anything that direct tv was giving her for you know paying too much each month anyway so all right well moving on allister davies of the zoological society of london quite it quite a segue and emily duncan of the university of extor were among a group of researchers who wanted to study how plastic pollution moves through rivers and then out to sea the team released 10 plastic bottles into the ganges river in india each bottle contained a small cellular chip that connected every three hours to record how fast the device has traveled and gave the folks data each bottle was expected to upload about two kilobytes on each connection for an expected total 100 megabytes of data so no small pings but one of them racked up 300 megabytes when the scientists checked the location log for that bottle they found it had left the river and gone into someone's house where it stopped updating its location but continued to rack updated charges and it appears somebody found the plastic bottle opened it up took out the sim card and then logged into facebook so so they cut off that service sadly for that person i guess but this is a great study about you know where plastic goes and it's a fascinating read on ars tectica the whole thing about getting technology into a bottle and some use gps and some use sim cards depending on where they think it's going to go but it was pretty funny that somebody was like hey that bottle's got an antenna sticking out of it what's inside there i'm going to take it home and look oh wait a sim card this is great yeah hey i'd cool it works facebook hey friends all right let's check out the mail bag let's do it this one comes from friend of the show allison charidan a frequent guest in fact allison says this young man aspen pallettnik developed an ios based app that will sequence dna as a mobile genetics laboratory she gave us two links one comes from fizz.org that's phys.org we'll have these links in our show notes she says this is a human readable version of it and then there's some more nerd level details but still kind of readable from oxford academic we also will have that link in our show notes as well the oxford academic articles is titled comprehensive dna sequence analysis on your smartphone yeah this is great so there are hand held dna sequencers now but they had to be connected to a much larger equipment until this until somebody's like hey why are we lugging around all these laptops and desktops to do this couldn't we do this on a smartphone and then just plug in the hand held sequencer so that's that's a that's amazing I mean we've gone from you know millions of dollars and months and months to sequence a string of dna to doing it on your phone with an attachment essentially very cool thanks to allison thanks to everybody who sends us articles that we might not have seen otherwise appreciate all of that all of your feedback is appreciated in fact and you can send yours questions comments or otherwise to feedback at dailytechnewshow.com we also

The study aimed to investigate the effects of a Nintendo Ring Fit adventure, RFA, intervention on running time, cardiac force index, CFI, sleep quality, and mood disorders in students aged 20 to 36 years. The results showed that the RFA group significantly reduced their running time, by an average of 19.79 seconds for females, and 22.56 seconds for males after four weeks of physical training. Additionally, the average score of the RFA group increased for both males and females in terms of mood disorders. However, no significant differences were observed between the RFA and control groups for CFI peak acceleration, FIPA, underscore walk, FIPA underscore run, or sleep quality. Overall, the study suggests that RFA could maintain or improve an individual's physical fitness, making it a good solution for people involved in distance learning, or those who have not exercised for an extended period.
