Hey, this is Brett with Summit Auto in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and use Jeep and Jeep Wrangler headquarters. Today, I am super excited to show you this brand new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport S with the 80th anniversary edition on it. This is our first 80th anniversary Wrangler that we've gotten out a lot, and it's really cool. It's got a lot of special features to it. This color on this one is Snazzberry Pearl Coat Paint Coat PRV, if you were wondering. And we're going to do a walk around here, and I'm going to show you all the stuff that the 80th anniversary entails, and hopefully get a good look at this Snazzberry color and the two-door Sport S package. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, or smartphone device, turn them on right now because it is definitely your best way to check out the color, looks, and options of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And if you'd like to check out all the photos on this Jeep in the upper right-hand part of your screen as a link to our website, click that and check us out there. First thing you'll notice are these 18-inch painted and polished aluminum rims. They are granite crystal. They are part of that 80th anniversary edition, and they come with the Bridgestone Duler 25570R18 tires. These are AT tires all terrain, and got a nice tread pattern to them. The next thing you'll notice are the Jeep and Wrangler logos that are in granite crystal as well, and these do say 80th anniversary on there. The little Jeep logo has got the American flag behind it, really a cool logo there. Trail-rated badge is also in granite crystal, and that Snazzberry is a really good-looking color. You get the color match fender flares with the 80th anniversary as well. This one has the LED headlamp and fog lamp group added onto it. You'll also notice you get the granite crystal fog light bezels, the granite crystal headlamp bezels, and the granite crystal grille inserts on that seven-slotted grille. So these headlamps are LEDs, and the running lamps around it are LEDs as well. We'll turn those on at the end of the video here. LED running lamps and the fenders as well. As always, I like showing the little Easter eggs on the Wranglers. You get the sandals on that plastic shroud there, and the Jeep climbing up the side of the windshield. You also have the T50 on the side that indicates that you use the 50 Torx wrench on there to get those doors off. Enter and go system on this vehicle. I'm going to show you the original window sticker. I'm not going to go through everything, so feel free to pause this at any time. This is the Wrangler Sport S 80th Anniversary 3.6 liter 8-speed automatic transmission. It has the command track part-time four-wheel drive system. Snazzberry is a 245 option. The 80th anniversary package is $6,195. Now that gives you a lot of stuff, so you get those special rims, special tires, the Alpine premium audio system, the deep tint sunscreen windows, the 8.4 and premium audio group, which also gives you the factory navigation system. You also have the technology group, heated mirrors, power front windows with one touchdown, Google, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You get the keyless entry system, automatic headlamps, Berber floor mats with the 80th anniversary tag, which are these guys right here. You also get the 7-inch TFT cluster, the emergency assistance call, leather-wrapped steering wheels, speed-sensitive power locks, sun visors with aluminum vanity mirrors, heavy-duty suspension with gas shocks, and body color fender flares, as well as the cloth bucket seats with the 80th anniversary tag, which is that tag right there.  Remote keyless proximity entry is 545, which is the entry and go system, and then the black hard top is $1,395. Total MSRP is $45,115. If you want to get your summit price in the upper right-hand part of the screen, a link to our website to get all the rebates and incentives on this Jeep if it's still available. And then 3-year 36 bumper-to-bumper, 5-year 60-power train. Look at this miles per gallon, 24, highway, 20 city, and 21 average. So pretty good for a Wrangler that was always the knock on them that they didn't get great fuel mileage. It's better. 4-star front crash and 3-star rollover, and it's not really rated for anything else. We'll get back to the interior in just a second. I'm going to finish up with the outside walk around here. You do get that hard top. The LED tail lamps, the parking sensors right there has the backup camera on them now. Those are HD backup cameras. You also get the LED license plate lights and the LED tail lamps there. So the back storage area, not a ton of room back here. This is your case for your front hard top pieces. I'm just going to set that down for a second. You do get a Berber floor mat back here and an all-weather subwoofer back here as well. You get a little bit of storage space. You get door hinge holders and roof holders and windshield bolt holders as well. To get these back hard tops off, there's three bolts on the side, one on the top, and a total of eight bolts.  Two quick releases right there for your electrical and windshield washer fluid. And then these seats can also come out as well. Just push them down like so. They fold up. You can push this down and then it'll release and then you can pull it right out. And to get that back down, you just set it down like so. Make sure it's down and then pull that strap and then that seat will come up like that. The other cool thing with the 80th anniversary that just found out a couple minutes ago is that they put this badge back here. It's different than the normal badges that are on the Wranglers. You have the Wrangler with the American Flag background on it, the 80th anniversary badge there. And then they have the new Wrangler and the older Wrangler. It's kind of cool. And then of course where it's made and everything. So cool stuff there. I'm going to put this back in here. These rear gates, they shut a lot smoother than the old ones. I think we got a bag in there. There we go. Back fenders are color matched as well. And then you do get the heated mirrors with the blind spot monitoring on there inside. That 80th anniversary seat. It's kind of a diamond design on there. Driver side lumbar, seat height adjuster. These do have side airbags now. Get the Berber floor mat on that side, auto headlamps, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, power mirrors and power locks. As we hop inside here, you get that 7 inch LCD display. You get the animation of the Wrangler driving around the bottom there and the top. You also have your digital speedometer compass and that 7 inch LCD display is pretty cool. You can change those corners to read whatever information you want it to read. The heated leather wrap steering wheel cruise controls on the right. Bluetooth and information center controls on the left. And that is like a soft touch leather, really nice steering wheel on there. This is the 8.4C radio. You get AM, FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities as well as the factory navigation system. There's your Sirius. You have your heated seats, heated steering wheel controls. You can also check out your backup camera right here. You can see just how crisp and clear that backup camera is. Really nice that they made those HD now. Then the other thing that this radio has are all the apps that come with it. The two that I'm going to point out are the projection manager. If you have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay on your cell phone, you can project your cell phone to the screen. Then if you have a different navigation program such as Waze or Google Maps, you can project that to the screen and use that navigation system instead of the factory if you like it better. It also works for media and songs and stuff like that. That's pretty cool. We actually did a demo if you want to check that on the upper right hand part of the screen. I'll link to that website or that video. Off-road pages on here. They take a second to load. You get the little Jeep driving across there. It's pretty cool. You have your pitch and roll, latitude, longitude, your altitude. It never works inside the picture studio quite right because of the satellites can't reach us, I don't think. Coolant temp, oil temp, battery voltage, trans temp and oil pressure for your gauges. Then you have your steering angle, which is pretty cool. If you're in a transfer case, if you're in too high, for high or for low, it'll tell you that. So that's cool stuff right there. Down here you have more audio and climate controls. If you don't like using the buttons up on the radio, you can do the volume knob, the tune knob there, as well as your heated seats, heated steering wheel and your climate controls there. Start stop capabilities, stability control, parking sensors, turn those off, and downhill assist control. And the AUGS, USB and USB-C, they're your power windows right there. You have your 4x4 shifter on the floor. You get the 8-speed automatic transmission with the little Jeep logo on there. And you also get this 80th anniversary badge right there. It's kind of hidden. I don't really see it unless you look for it, but it does say 80th on there and it has the Jeep with the American flag in it. You get the switchblade style key, hideaway key, keyless entry, remote start. It's a very heavy duty key. You always know which key you have in your pocket. And it flips out pretty cool as well. You have this silver finish. It's like a silver, almost bronze finish dash. It seems like with all the different trim levels they always give you a different color dash on the Wranglers, which is pretty neat. Up here you get the auto dimming mirror, the SOS and assist buttons. And then the home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lane systems. These hard top pieces come off very similar to the old JKs. The only thing that's different is you don't have those knobs back there that screw it in. So a little bit easier to get off than the old ones. And we'll take a quick walk around here and finish off the video. So I can show you all the LED lights that are on this vehicle. Tail lamps there. And I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video. You have gotten a really good idea of the overall looks and styling of this particular Wrangler. Learned a little bit about the 80th anniversary. Got to check out the Snasbury color.

So it is clearly trending in the right direction. You can see it has a baby market cap of only 6.56 million market cap, which means to me right off the bat, it's got to have a tight share structure. RGDCF in America, which is currently up today 9% and traded 209,000 shares in volume. The average daily volume is 72,000 shares. So it's done over 200% more shares than its average daily volume. So this is a sign, this is a bullish sign. Now let's take a look at the Canadian side, PMET in Canada. And similarly you can see that this has just recently come from 27 cents in July to where it is right now at 77 cents. You can see this is clearly trending up. Patriot battery metals.

This could be a big winner and I'd love to know what you guys think. Now let's just take a look at some of their recent news. All right, so on September 23rd, a few days ago, five days ago, Patriot battery metals collars first drill hole on the Corvette FCI property, James Bay Region, Quebec, Canada. Patriot battery metals is pleased to announce it has collared the first drill hole of its inaugural drill program at the Corvette FCI property located in James Bay Region of Quebec. The program is focused on the CV5-6 Spudumene pegmatites part of the more than 25 kilometer long CV lithium trend as well as the core area of more than 10 kilometer long maven copper, gold, silver trend. Let's see here, Blair Way, company president and director comments. The teams on site have done a great job setting up and coloring this first drill hole so efficiently. I'm very pleased at how well organized the entire setup was including the off-road and remote expediting services utilizing helicopter support. The teams are doing a fantastic job and it's great seeing the core coming out of the ground. I look forward to learning more about this lithium trend over coming weeks and the copper trend after that. Interesting, very interesting, let's see here. Just wanna read a little bit about Patriot Metals, Inc. Patriot Metals, Inc. is a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of mineral projects containing battery, base, and precious metals. The company's flagship assets are the wholly owned Corvette property and the FCI property held under option from 03 Mining, Inc. located in the James Bay region of Quebec and the 100% owned Freeman Creek Gold Project located in Idaho, USA. The Corvette FCI property includes the wholly owned Corvette claim block and the FCI East and West claims blocks held under option from 03 Mining, Inc. The claim blocks are contiguous and host significant gold, silver, copper, PGE, lithium potential, wow. Highlighted by the golden gap prospect with grab samples of 3.1 to 108.9 grams a ton AU which is gold from outcrop and 10.5 grams a ton AU gold over seven meters in drill hole. The LSAS and Lorraine prospects with 8.15% CU which is copper, 1.33 grams a ton AU which is gold and 171 grams a ton AG which is silver in outcrop and the CVI Pagmatite prospect with 2.28% LI20 over six meters in channel. The 100% owned Freeman Creek Gold Property hosts two major advanced targets, the Gold Dyke prospect with a 2020 drill hole intersection of 4.11 grams a ton gold and 33.0 grams a ton silver over 12 meters and the Carmen Creek prospect with surface sample results including 25.5 grams a ton gold and 159 grams a ton silver and 9.75% copper.

That's a news release dated September 23rd. Now I just wanna show you guys their share structure because you know what's extremely important to us here on Rich TV Live and Rich Pigs Daily to understand the share structure intrinsically because we love tightly held stocks. So you can see here up 4% on good volume compared to this average daily volume. You can see that it has been trending up and look at the share structure. Literally a baby market cap of 26 million shares with all market cap which includes the price and the shares, a 26 million market cap is a baby market cap. 34 million shares issue and outstanding is what we call bingo. Anytime you have under 50 million shares issue and outstanding I think that is extremely tight. We look for that here at Rich TV Live and at Rich Pigs Daily.

Now, tight share structure, a bingo share structure, a baby market cap of only 26 million despite the fact that they are drilling with results which could be a great indicator of a company that is undervalued, under-appreciated and under-exposed. And we here at Rich TV Live and at Rich Pigs Daily we love identifying companies that are under-exposed before anybody else in the universe. I believe everyone needs to put this company right now on their watch list and on their radar. Let's take a look at the news before that. Patriot metals, Patriot battery metals announces mobilization of drill rig to the Corvette FCI property by James Bay Region, Quebec, Canada. So previous to the press release which I just broke down for you guys, you can see here Patriot battery metals had a press release dated September 16th where they were, and once again, the symbol in America, RGDCF in Canada, PMET, and in Frankfurt, Germany, R9GA, Patriot battery metals is pleased to announce it has mobilized the drill rig to commence the inaugural drill program at the company's Corvette FCI property located in the James Bay Region of Quebec which was announced on August 24th, 2021. So I'm not gonna go through this as well but this was the initial press release before the drill program and drill programs are typically very bullish for any company. Okay, this is the website, PatriotBatteryMetals.com explore further to reach higher. So you can see here all the areas of focus and look at all the different properties and commodities that they're drilling for. They're drilling gold, they're drilling silver, they're drilling for copper, they're drilling for lithium.

Now I must remind everybody that Rich TV Live and Rich Pigs Daily is strictly for information and education purposes. Please do your due diligence, do your research before you invest anything that we talk about or discuss here on Rich TV Live. Now in saying that, we love bringing you companies that are undervalued, underappreciated, under-exposed and we love to bring them to first. Hey Amanda, Amanda says battery elements are soon to be the hottest with EV expansion, nice find. That's why we're bringing it to you guys because it's what we do best. Copper and lithium are crucial to much of the modern world and in particular industries and technologies related to sustainable industries and energy. So let's talk about copper. Copper, I've been all over copper. I think copper is one of the hottest sectors that nobody really talks about and focuses on. But I believe that copper is an area that everybody, especially investors that wanna find gainers and winners need to really focus and target on copper, lithium, gold, silver, nickel. I think these are all some of the hottest sectors right now. Everybody needs to get their hands involved in especially early stage miners that are on the verge of finding the next big property. Copper possesses electrical and chemical properties delivering superior conductivity, both electrical and thermal, increasing the efficiency of numerous energy related systems that rely on electric motors and transformers. These same properties are also highly prized and integral to the harvesting, storage and distribution of energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind. Lithium is another key element in the infrastructure and technology of the world of tomorrow with a range of target markets covering everything from personal electronics to transportation to large scale energy storage and distribution projects. Lithium is a key asset with almost limitless usage scenarios. So copper highlights. I've talked to you guys about this about copper. There is a global shortfall of copper. That's right, a global shortfall of copper. And you guys know that I always talked about supply and demand, right? If the demand is high and if there's a shortfall, demand is high. If the asset is needed, copper is needed. It's needed for electric vehicles. It's needed for so many elements that people don't think about. So the demand is high, but the supply is low. If the supply is low, there's a shortage. If there's a shortage, it drives the prices higher. Supply, demand. Low supply, high demand drives prices higher. So let's talk about the global shortfall. Thank you, crypto man. Crypto man says, always bringing us info nonstop. I mean, it's what we do. It's what we do. It's what we do best. A global shortfall. In the next 10 years, the world may have to face the prospect of a huge shortfall of copper. Arguably the most critical metal for today's economies. Copper is used in all areas of modern life from pipe work and wiring in the home to batteries and motors used in both vehicles and energy harvesting and storage systems. As a result, copper is a key ingredient in the drive towards renewable power and fully electric vehicles. Unless the supply deficit is addressed, prices will keep rising as scarcity increases and this will present a huge challenge to world leaders who have pledged to fight climate change through the transition to renewable energy. In order to close the deficit and supply, estimated to rise to 4.7 million metric tons by 2030, the copper industry would need to spend upwards of 100 billion according to estimates from the CRU group. Worse, the potential shortfall could actually be as high as 10 million metric tons of no new mines come online, according to commodities trader Trefegura Group. So you can see here on the right that the copper usage will increase substantially as the EV market grows, electric vehicles, as electric vehicles typically use more than double the amount of copper of a similar internal combustion energy vehicle, engine vehicle. This is compounded by the fact that copper is also required and heavily used in providing the charging infrastructure for the same EVs. So you can see here, battery electric buses. Look at 814 pounds of copper needed in battery electric buses. Wow. And 198 pounds in hybrid electric buses, 183 pounds in battery electric vehicles, 132 pounds in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, 85 pounds in hybrid electric vehicles, and 18 to 49 pounds in conventional cars. Copper usage will increase substantially as the EV market grows, as EVs typically use more than double the amount of copper of a similar internal combustion energy vehicle, engine vehicle. This is compounded by the fact that copper is also required and heavily used in providing the charging infrastructure for these same EVs. Let's talk about some lithium highlights. So you guys know I'm also a huge fan of lithium, huge fan of copper, huge fan of gold, huge fan of silver, huge fan of nickel, and this is a company that's mining a lot of those elements. So right off the bat, lithium highlights, persistent demand. Obviously, we know that lithium is one of the key ingredients in electric vehicles. Advances in lithium technology will continue to drive advances in technology across all areas of our lives and will continue to power the profound changes and huge leaps forward that we have already started to use. The EU estimates in order to meet its climate, neutrality goal, demand for lithium may increase by 1,800% and cobalt by 500% by 2030. Wow. If this timeline is extended to 2050, then the increase rise to 6,000% and 1,500% respectively. Sources of this are routers based on the assumptions that EVs will make up around 40% of new passenger car sales by 2030. Wood McKenzie predicts that nearly 800KT LCE of additional lithium would need to come online in the next five years to meet future demand. Wow. Lithium chemical demand from end-use sectors is still expected to increase year on year to around 280,000 tons. Lithium carbonate equivalent sources, Roskill information services, Jake Fraser. On the right here, you can see the lithium boom, electric vehicle revolution will fuel global demand for the mineral, consumer electronics, others, e-buses, passenger, electric vehicle and storage. So you can see the chart and the lithium carbonate use for various devices. So you can see how much lithium is used for phones, laptops, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, behind the meter, electric vehicles and front meter. You can see the portfolio of projects in Idaho, Quebec, British Columbia, Northwest Territories. I'm not gonna go through all of this, but you guys can go through some of this on the website. And you can see the properties and what they're drilling for. So the Corvette FCI property, the Maven section is drilling for copper, gold and silver. The golden gap is drilling for gold. The Lac Bruno is drilling for gold. Regional is drilling for platinum palladium and regional is also drilling for lithium, totallium, pegmatites. The Pontax properties is drilling for lithium and gold. The Eastman property is drilling for lithium and the Lac du Barrel is drilling for lithium and gold. So you can see here the area of focus and the summary of the Corvette FCI property, gold, copper, silver and lithium. And you can see the geology of the Corvette property and you can see more information on the properties. All of this is on the website at www.patriotbatterymedals.com. Feel free to put this on your watch list, put it on your radar and feel free to comment on the video while we're live. If you don't catch us when we're live, feel free to comment on the video. I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have. And if you guys have any questions, you can feel free to contact the company as well and the company will do everything they can to answer your questions. So you can see all of the properties. This is very technical, breaking down all of the properties of interest. This is the Golden Gap Prospect. This is the most advanced prospect on the Corvette FCI property. This is all just very technical for those that are more technical in mining to learn more information on the properties. So clearly this is a lot of work. There's a lot of work that's been done on these properties. Now I must remind you guys that Rich DV Live is strictly for information and education purposes. Please do your due diligence, do your research before you invest in anything that we talk about or discuss here on Rich DV Live. These are additional strategic properties, a lot of properties for this small cap and the Pontax property drilling for gold and lithium. So a lot of properties for this small cap junior miner with a baby market cap and a really tight share structure. Clearly this is why the stock has been trending up. So lots of interesting metals and assets they are in the process of discovering. So as their leadership team, you can see the CEO, president and director, vice president of exploration and chief financial officer and director. Adrienne Lamarot is the CEO and director. Mr. Lamarot has worked in the venture capital markets for the past eight years, specializing in the design and implementation of market strategies and corporate development. Mr. Lamarot has particular expertise in the mineral exploration and development sector during his time working in the venture capital markets. Mr. Lamarot has financed a number of successful private and public companies. It's always important to understand the management team behind the companies. You can see further directors and corporate strategy partners and one of my key areas of focus, the capitalization, the shares outstanding as far as I'm concerned, this is bingo. 34 million shares, love it. All right guys, that's Patriot Battery Metals. You can go to their website at www.patriotbatterymedals.com. That's the investor presentation. Find all of their biggest news right on their website. All right, that's their website. And let's just quickly look at the stock. So the stock right now sitting at 77 cents, like I said, traded about 123,000 shares, a lot more than double its daily average volume. That is the Canadian symbol, PMET. In America, RGDCF currently at 60 cents, up 9% also trading more than double its average daily volume. If we pull out the Fibonacci extension, you can clearly see how it is trading at very high zone. So you can see here on the Fibonacci extension that it's literally trading right at its high. Now, typically when it breaks these zones, it can continue up further. So we could see it goes as high as 80 cents here in America because it's broken this resistance. So we may see it go further. Let's take a look at the Canadian side, PMET. We'll do the same thing with the Fibonacci extension. Let's just go low, low and then mark the high high. Right now it's 75 cents, so right there. So you can see that is once again trading at the 78.6 percentile. So typically when it breaks that resistance, we could see it goes as high as 80 cents where it did and then it got some resistance. So just be aware that this has been trending up, very bullish, be aware of it, put on your radar, put on your watch list, this momentum may continue, anything's possible in the markets, but you must be aware of the fact that it is trading very close to an all-time high. So if you got into this early and you're thinking about locking in profits, never a bad idea to lock in profits. However, these drilling and these drill results are just getting started. So this could be a catalyst and we could potentially see it go much further. Despite the fact that it's already up, we may see it go higher. Now, when I do look at the indicators, you must be aware also that the RSI is signaling that it's trading very close to a sell zone. So there is going to potentially be some selling pressure. Now it's at 68 on the RSI. I always tell you guys 70 or higher is the sell zone, 30 or lower is the buy zone. This is due to the fact that it's very bullish, obviously, when a stock is going up and it's very bullish, it's always going to get into some resistance and there will be some selling pressure. So we may see it go further, but just be aware that it is trading in and around a sell zone. That doesn't mean it can't go higher, anything's possible in the market, but just be aware that it is trading near the top, okay? All right guys, hope you like these videos.

He pulled it from the streaming platforms and he's doing, you know, he's got the metaverse stuff going on. He's got partnerships with like Sandbox. He's doing a ton of stuff.


Hello, and welcome. Today I'm going to quickly go over a few different ways to search for files from your Linux shell using the find command and search through files by date. So here I am, I'm in a directory that has a backup of pretty much all my photos I've taken with my cell phone over the last seven months or so. So let's go ahead, and of course if I just list, I can list them all out, photos and videos. But let's say, and then the find command of course will list them out differently, but list them out nonetheless. Let's look at this, and let's go ahead and try to find all files that are, were updated in the last day, which actually may not result in anything as I haven't backed, I'm backing things up to a new folder now. But let's go ahead and just say find, I could type today find dash newer mt and I'll talk about that in a moment, if I say one day ago, and oh, there's one video in the last day, but I can also say three day, I can say day or days, it knows what I mean, it will return the same thing. It's fairly smart, last 30 days, or last five days, oops, five days. Okay, so how does this work? What does this mean? Well, obviously dash newer means newer. If I was to man, oops, look at the manual, so man find, I can look at, let's say, I'm going to search for birth. So here's the section where it talks about this. So newer, and then x, y, x and y can be one of these here. We're doing mt, so we're doing modified time, and then we're also doing reference to the last, interpreted directly as a time. So here we're looking at the last, sorry, blah, blah, blah. M is modification, so that's the last time that file was modified, and then we're all saying we're giving it a time, so that's what date is. So we're saying look at the last time it was modified. You can also look at things like the last time file was accessed or birth time. But use whatever fits your situation. So let's go back to that, now that we know what that means and look at it again, I can say 15 days, so newer than modified time of 15 days ago, and there we go. I can, instead of 15 days, I can say one month, and it knows what I'm talking about. I can say 10 months, I can say one year, okay? So we have a few different things here, and it's listing out the files. If we want more information on these files, we can add to the end of that command dash LS, and now fine, we'll list it out as LS with all the information there, so you have all the permissions and file size and dates and all that stuff listed there as well. Other options, so we're looking at newer, another option you could do is instead of, let's just do this, fine, I can also say M time, and I can say dash one. And that will be minutes, or no, I'm sorry, days, that's one day. So I can go one day, so minus means going back, now 10 days. So that's another way to write it. I can also say instead of M time, I can say M in, and it'll go back 10 minutes, which there's nothing new in there in the last 10 minutes, 100 minutes, 1,000 minutes, I'm not sure if there's a limit, there we go. So 10,000 minutes back, but you can go back a certain number of minutes. So if you want to see everything new in the last 10 minutes and do something with them, you can do that. Another option is going back to our way of doing it before. Instead of saying one year ago, let's say I want to say from a certain date, so since February 1st, and by default it will know of this current year, or the last February 1st, so there we go, or I can say March 1st, and it'll bring up everything since March 1st. So that's everything that's, we've gone over everything newer since a given time or date. Let's say we want stuff that's older. Well, going at our previous commands here, the dash M minute, instead of 1, I can say plus 1, instead of minus 1. Now it's showing everything more than a minute old, or more than 100 minutes old. So if you want to do in the last hour, I can date everything that's older than the last hour. So don't show what's been put in there in the last hour or modified in the last hour, everything before that. So now we're going older instead of newer. We can also do dash T, or dash time, I mean. So now I'm saying this, and I can say, before we did minus 1, and that shows everything in the last day, well, if I do plus 1, I'm showing everything older than a day, or older than 10 days, or older than 100 days, or older than 1,000 days, which is nothing because it's nothing before the new year in this folder. Okay, so we've looked at newer, and we've looked at things older. Let's look at trying to find things between a certain date. So what we're going to do here is we're going to say, fine, we're basically going to combine two things here. We're going to say dash newer, MT, so modified time, and we'll give it a date. And again, it's very smart, you can write this many different ways. But let's say 2019, January 1st. So we want everything that is newer than January 1st, exclamation mark that is not newer with the modified time of 2019 dash February 1st. So here, I'm asking for everything between January 1st and February 1st. Boom, those are the files from then, I can say, till March 1st. So February 1st, March 1st. I can say from February 15th to March 10th, and we'll give me those files. And again, you can add the dash LS at the end, too, if you want more information on those files. Alternatively, we wrote out the full date, but again, it's fairly smart. If I wanted to get things that were from February 1st, I can say February 1st to March 1st. And it will give me everything from February 1st to March 1st. And again, it will default to be smart current year or previously passed. But if I want to, I can give it a year. Again, there's nothing in this file folder from 2018, because we're in my 2019 folder, so that's not going to return anything. But you could do that. It's very smart with the dates. So anyway, I hope that was awesome. I'll try to remember to put a link in the description to my scripts page, where there will be notes on Payspin on this, basically showing what we did here. But again, the man file, man find, we'll also give you this information. But there's a lot of stuff, because find can do a lot of stuff. So yeah, have fun with that. But everything I did in this video, I'll try to remember to put a link in the description of this video regarding that. Also, one last thing I'll mention. You can do this, again, with all your regular find commands. So here we go, we'll do that. So here you can see that there's a GIF or a GIF, wherever you want to say it in here, and an MP4.  And I should be able to say dash name, astrid, jpeg. And now it's only going to search for jpegs. I can do dash i for case and sensitive, because I know my Canon camera puts capital JPG. So that'll be case and sensitive.  You can also give it a directory. You know, by default, using the current directory, I can do forward slash for my root directory, or I can do the till day for home directory or dollar sign. Home search, your whole home directory. Or give it a full path to where you want to search. It's up to you for whatever your uses are. I do thank you for watching. And please visit filmsbychrist.com. That's Chris of the K. There's a link in the description there. You can search through all my videos. There's a support section that will link you to my Patreon page or a link to Paypal.

I guess the main role of captain really is about just trying to keep the ship steady and on course. When I took over the role, I was kind of a little bit daunted thinking, you know, that you've got to be the best at everything, but in some ways it's similar to like the role of a captain of a footy club really. You're just trying to make sure that everyone in the field knows what they're doing. Even though operationally firefighting is a lot about getting out there and getting your hands dirty and all that kind of stuff, as a captain really you're just trying to coordinate and make sure that people are up to the task. Knowing how to work with people and understand people as a really important role I think as captain. There's that old saying about the more you put in the more you get out and certainly I've had that experience. Bottom line for me though is I'm kind of driven by I want to make our brigade the best it can be and so that kind of motivates me to look at all the things that we can do to improve and you know and become a better group. Being involved with any community group, emergency service group, there's nothing but upsides. You're learning incredible skills, you're working in a great team. I think you can't go wrong.


So yeah, my name's Tim and I wrote a Gameboy emulator and not only did I do that, I wrote it in JavaScript And I think everyone else should too Start by saying I'm Self-talk and I quite often Well, some of the things I say might just be wrong or I often find holes in my knowledge Happens embarrassingly frequently, but you can't argue with the result because the emulator works. So And you can play it after this talk Okay, maybe you should write it in JavaScript So the question I get asked often maybe not so much from this crowd is why why would you do this? First reason is there's already loads of Gameboy emulators And particularly if you wanted a web-based one, there's you know web assembly You could just port an existing emulator to wasm and it would run faster and it'd be easier to make But that misses the point The short answer is it's fun So an analogy I can give is a Rubik's Cube here's a Rubik's Cube if you haven't seen one before The whole point of a Rubik's Cube is to solve it You're you're just moving bits of plastic around if you just wanted it to be solved You could just take it apart or peel the stickers off Nobody questions. Oh, why are you doing that Rubik's Cube? It's it's understood that it's just for the challenge Yet somehow with a Gameboy emulator because it does something at the end. It's like it's not allowed to be for fun. I don't know But yeah, I'm probably preaching to the choir here. So Gameboy emulators why is a Gameboy perfect for emulation? Well First of all is challenging but achievable It is very hard. There are easier things to emulate, but Gameboy is just about doable by one person on their own Another reason is that the hardware is fairly simple. There are a lot of sim similar era consoles which are Not necessarily harder, but tedious for instance the the NES family com They tended to put a lot of like custom hardware in the cartridges So in order to emulate all of the games you have to emulate all of that custom hardware And there's like hundreds of different types of cartridge and for the Gameboy there are there's a bit of that You know, this is like the Gameboy camera, but there's basically there's just five main types of Memory back controller on the cartridge. So it's it's easier than some other consoles in that sense less tedious Another thing is that it's already reverse engineered because Well, if you're writing an emulator for a modern console, most of the work is reverse engineering what the hardware does But in the case of the Gameboy if you don't want to do all that reverse engineering people have done it for you And you can focus just on the emulation Another point I wanted to make is that it feels like a fractal because There's something about it when you start to write the emulator you can get Tetris running very early on Maybe maybe 20% of an emulator is enough to run Tetris And yet, you know, you even have to patch all of the things that don't work for other games Tetris doesn't use any of like the graphics features apart from like the very basic stuff and it doesn't have a memory bank controller at all Yeah, so Moving on to oh, yes, I love bare metal machine code. I Love a JavaScript. How can I combine these things by writing an emulator in JavaScript? So An emulator is a description of how a computer works and If you've not written an emulator, do you really know how computers work? Well, how do we start? How do we what's the first thing to do to make an emulator? Well, there is a cartridge for instance Tetris and What's on there? Well, it's a ROM It's filled with bytes What do those bytes mean? Well, they're instructions for the CPU What is the CPU? Well on the Game Boy the CPU is almost a Z80. It's It's got a few instructions added a few taken away, but it's basically a Z80 That table there, which is probably too small to see Is someone's made a lovely diagram of all of the instructions, but basically it's mostly one byte instructions One byte is read from memory and does something For instance, it might move some memory from one place to another or work with registers the all all CPUs well, but I know use registers which They're basically like hands for the CPU you pick something up you do something with it. You put it back so How can we emulate that? How can you make a? Say the load instruction move from one register to another well We could have a switch statement. We could just say read each byte. What does that byte do? Have a condition do do it to our virtual memory, you know have an array that is our RAM array That is our registers But of course, what's what's the most JavaScript solution? Well, my approach was to do this which What are we doing here? We've got an opcode array and it's filled with function pointers and The thing at the top is a function factory so to make it less tedious to write I've I've defined a bunch of constants That's the capital ABC Capital Reg reg all the registers and I'm returning a function which moves from one register to another And then at the end of the function it advances PC, which is a program counter, which tells a spider on my display The PC which is pointing to what current byte is being read and so then the emulator is just that it's while true execute the current opcode Done right, that's that's it. We've got a processor working There's there's a few more things you have to count cycles for some of the instructions and some of them are two bytes Oh, but that gets handled by this because it'll just advance the PC by by more I Got to this point. I was like, yeah, yeah, it runs. It's great. That's it's done But unfortunately the CPU is only a small part of the emulator. So Oh, yes, the boot code I'll come back to that after we've got our display CPU working the next thing is the display it turns out that writing the display is Maybe two or three times as much work as writing the CPU. It's not like a frame before you just put pixels No, you've got you've got hardware that renders tiles and sprites object attribute memory You've got pallets that can be swapped. You've got a thing called the window. That's that screenshot. You've got Where it says pause in the bottom that is a separate bank of tiles that can be super imposed called the window I don't know why it's called the window. It's useful kinds of things. It's only used for pause there You've also got the coincidence interrupt, which You know, sometimes you're looking at the hardware. You think what uses ours a simple game like Mario isn't gonna use like a scan line coincidence interrupt but no, it does the Background where it's an arrangement of tiles gets shifted as the level moves along But also in the background you've got the top two rows, which is you know Mario World time and number of coins, whatever those two rows are rendered into the background tiles and as the frame is drawn Partway through at line 17. It will trigger the coincidence interrupt, which then changes the value of the background So even a simple game like this uses it and then like more complicated games like You know the opening to Zelda Lynx Awakening. We've got like that parallax effect of them scrolling That's all done with the coincidence interrupt and some games do even more they they interrupt mid scan line just to do like effects and stuff so There's a lot to the display, but seeing the Nintendo logo for the first time is glorious getting it to run and then even when you think it's done right you get these This happened everything looked fine until I got to this. This is the first dungeon of Lynx Awakening and There's the heart is too high and there's a quarter heart underneath and it's like what? What it is is that it uses this 8 by 16 sprite mode and It's accessing sprites The hardware officially you can you can access it either by the high Bite or the high tile or the low tide it accesses the next sequential tile in memory and The way the game is written it always accesses it by the first tile Except in this one instance access it by the second tile and because I didn't Basically, you just have to zero the low bite But I hadn't spotted that and it just you can get quite far into the game before spotting these weird things. I mean That's what it's supposed to look like Yes more than that but once Once you've got the display working you can then start working on the sound Which is generally agreed to be the hardest bit of all now There's a few reasons why it's hard one is that like you know generating square waves aren't anti-aliased is difficult That's not a problem in JavaScript because we've got the web audio API, but The main reason it's hard is that it's not actually that well documented a lot of it is things like you know You can have a square wave do a sweep in volume, but how long does that sweep take and it's just a little bit Unclear in many places and also some games do weird things like instead of muting a channel They'll just send like a zero-length sweep to make it make it turn off So you can have the sound working perfectly in one game and then not working at all in another and But the hardest part of the sound is the noise channel which I Thought was just you know like noise for percussion. It's more than that You've got a linear feedback shift register, which is pseudo random noise generator and you can control both the clock speed to that and the period of the Tap point on the on the LFSR so It's used for well if you think of the links awakening opening screen You've got the shore noises going shh, and you've got the thunder noise going And you've also got as the title screen appears it goes So all of that's done with just sending different numbers to the linear feedback shift register Here's an interesting moment. This is when you go to rescue bow-wow and links awakening at this point in my emulator It just crashed entirely. It's like it was working fine just completely home. The reason was The actual hardware what's happening is it's only got a certain number of address lines to the cartridge For some reason at this point it loads another memory bank, which is just like way off Very very high number that's non-existent and of course in actual hardware. It just wraps because it doesn't have that extra address line so Here's it's a fun reason It's an explanation of why you have to play the game all the way through to the end to To prove that it works because I think a lot of people are emulates in this show the title screen and it's just I mean sure to play as many games as I could to the end. Here's the editing screen. I think it's awakening Just ruined it for anyone hasn't played it And there's Mario Let's go back to the boot code bit So When you first turn on the game, but it doesn't have an operating system But it does have the boot code so the purpose of the boot code is to load up the Nintendo logo and go And the reason they had that was for like legal defense So if you had a an unauthorized cartridge, it wouldn't run unless it included the Nintendo logo So Yeah, the boot code I thought it was kind of interesting it's it was ripped by looking at the the silicon die Someone traced out the the links in in the in the microscope image. So that's just an interesting point to add Yeah, so what else does skip over the I Didn't talk about memory maps peripherals so Kind of interesting to think like so once you've got your your CPU working and your registers How does it actually talk to the display or to the sound hardware? It's all just sort of just talking to bits of memory Like how do you read the controller that's When you press a button on the control what's that doing? it's it's making an electrical signal go high and You can just read a bit of memory from from that address and that tells you the state of the controller Yeah, I have Fair bit of time left. So I would hmm. Should I try and load up? We didn't arrange the sound. I don't know I Don't know that's pretty much the end of my talk to be honest But I would like to convince you all that writing an emulator is a lot of fun and Yeah, I think I'm about five minutes short. So feel free to ask me questions I'll show the emulator basically can I put it onto that screen? Okay, the sound is coming out my laptop. So So there you can see the parallax scrolling in the in the waves. That's coincidence a truck being used there I think the sound is coming out of my speakers on the laptop. I don't know how to rewrite route that I can confirm It is working. I can't hear it One of the games I didn't get to emulate correctly is prehistoric man, which it's like a 90s demo At the opening it does like pseudo 3d effects very cool very good music in that game prehistoric man. We really like it Yes, and if you if you missed it the The URL is mitzel.com slash swatch GB.  So Swatch GB is the emulator have a have a go on it and Yeah, how many minutes left Well, the the original idea was to try and write the whole thing in one day and I didn't manage that Just about got the CPU done in one day after After I got Tetris working on like I don't know a few days in Then lost a few more days to playing Tetris Overall, I mean I I estimate it was I Don't know maybe three weeks a bit longer I mean, I'm a very obsessive person. So I I kind of just Emulator So I don't know Yeah, I actually made a time lapse of me writing the emulator Which you can find on the page if you go to the emulator there's a link to an about page where there's lots more information and Yeah, there's there's a time lapse I put on YouTube which is generated from the get history which is Yeah, it's kind of funny to look at is anyone convinced to write an emulator. Come on. It's really good Yes Yes, some of you Well, I'm certainly am as well to be honest, but it's also bringing back bad memories of When I was doing writing a compiler coursework and stuff like that too writing. What was it a MIPS? Emulator as well. I had to write one of those for coursework or doing it for coursework not fun doing it for fun Fun. All right So thank you very much Tim. That was very very eye-opening and I'm certainly am inspired as well. So thank you

A non-creative day. I was absolutely positive that was what's headed my way today. From the second I got out of bed until I walked in the studio and looked around and thought it ain't happening. But I also know myself well enough to know that my brain lies to me and tells me I can't when I really can. To test this, I got out some art supplies that haven't seen the light of day in a while. A glass pen, a bit of mystery black ink. I found a scrap of watercolor paper laying on the floor. So why not make an effort at trying something? And by the time I was done, I felt completely different. I felt like, yes, maybe I can do something creative today. And not only did I come out with that better feeling, but I also now have a card that I can send to someone else who is having...


Religion and World Politics 6. We're going to be talking about something that has a lot of romance to it, but at the same time was the harbinger of a terrible turn in historical events that went on to reconfigure, some would say disfigure, the latter part of the 20th century into the 21st century. And this is what happened in Afghanistan. Our tale begins in Afghanistan with the Soviet invasion in 1979. This came out of a blue sky. Military speak for there were no clouds, there were no warnings. Suddenly the Soviets invaded the country in support of a Soviet inclined government. But a government which aroused huge resentments and resistance on the part of many, many people in Afghanistan. The United States was very, very swift to capitalize on this and sent a very great deal of military support through Saudi Arabia, using both US and Saudi funds, to finance what were called the Mujahideen, the tribal resistance against the Soviet occupation. And this played very much into the hands of the secret arrangement that had been arrived at within Saudi Arabia itself after the siege of Mecca in 1979. It was as if the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the same year was a godsend, a literal godsend to the rulers of Saudi Arabia and to the pact that they had made with the conservative clerical leaders. The compromise arrangement after the siege was purported to have meant that the export of Islamic revolution was going to be possible, the financing of international Islamic revolution was going to be possible and that the Saudi authorities would turn a blind eye to it. They would not become officially involved, but senior members of Saudi society certainly could become involved. And one of those who immediately became involved in the very same year in 1979 was Osama bin Laden. He made his very first visit to Afghanistan in that year, fought on the side of the Mujahideen and poured a lot of his own money into the resistance against the Soviets. He didn't stay in Afghanistan at that point in time. He went off to forment revolution in other parts of the world, particularly in Sudan, and gained a very great deal of experience in how he wanted to conduct a new form of asymmetric warfare. Along the way he established what was called the Al-Qaeda Front. This was meant to be a fortress, a foundation for international revolution of an Islamic nature. This took him back to Afghanistan, and this was because of forment within Afghanistan itself after the defeat of the Soviets. They withdrew in 1989. The fall of the Berlin Wall meant a retraction of Soviet influence around the world. It meant not only reform within what is now Russia, but a pulling in of the horns of Russian expansionism. They pulled out of Afghanistan, never having been able to defeat the Mujahideen, but the Mujahideen themselves had by this stage became corrupt. Flushed with arms and money from both the Saudis and from the United States, channeled through Pakistan, they became a lawless force and they exercised this lawlessness upon the local population. Mullah Omar, a village cleric in Kandahar, someone who had been wounded four times and lost an eye in the battles against the Soviets, was exercising his vocation as a village priest when he was caught upon by distraught parents to try to rescue their two daughters who had been kidnapped by a rapacious warlord leader. Mullah Omar, inspired by a dream in which a woman asked him to help, launched an attack, a very, very lightly armed, almost suicide attack against the barracks of the warlord, overcame the warlord's armed forces and hung the warlord. It was an attack against all odds. The chances of success were so minimal that when it was successful, Mullah Omar became a legend. The people he had helping him launch the attack on the warlord barracks were Talibs, theology students, thus the advent of the Taliban. The Taliban rose up as a force, a cleansing force against corruption and all of Southern Afghanistan was very, very shortly in their hands. They launched an attack against the capital city Kabul. By this stage they were receiving help from Osama bin Laden. And Osama bin Laden, who had now returned to Afghanistan, brought with him the money and the equipment for a successful assault on the capital city itself. Notwithstanding the fact that the capital city at that point in time was in the hands of a warlord with actual progressive attitudes, particularly towards women, he was actually seen as another member of a corrupt fraternity. And he was defeated and driven out. The Taliban were a domestic reforming group. They wanted to cleanse society. They were revolutionary in the sense they wanted to have an Islamic order, rather than a secular state, but they had no international policy. It was the fusion at this point in time of the Taliban with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, which led to an international policy, which led in turn to the assault on New York, the 9-11 attacks. That was in 2001 and the American response immediately was an attack upon Afghanistan itself. This was almost a deliberate policy on the part of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda. They wanted to provoke the United States into a war against Islam, not just one Islamic country, but against many Islamic countries so that the spread of military action against other Islamically inclined states or states with Islamic populations in the wake of Afghanistan was almost a godsend to the plans of our Qaeda. The result was that as they planned to have local resistance forces springing up against enemy invasion, Western invasion, that this would expand from country to country and that recruits would come from many countries to fight against the Western invaders. In time there would be a conversion to an ideology that was sympathetic to al-Qaeda that would become global. This would be a global jihad that could then be mobilized against the United States, which in the same moment of history would also succumb to its own economic contradictions and be unable to resist an onslaught of an asymmetric sort on all fronts. It was almost as if Osama and his lieutenants and those in al-Qaeda were reading a future that has been in many ways enacted and which is still being enacted, albeit with the decline of al-Qaeda in today's international politics, but it's supplanting by forces even more radical and even more sinister and determined.


Friends, there is one thing common to most people in the audience. It has people who take investment decisions. Decisions which assess risk. Decisions which predict return while making investment. I want to ask you, what do you think about before investing in any country? Does the country have a vibrant democracy? Does the country have political stability? Does the country have investment and business friendly policies? Does the country have transparency in governance? Does the country have a skilled talent pool? Does the country have a large market? These are different questions you may be asking. The undisputed answer to all these questions is one and that is India. There is an opportunity for everyone, institutional investors, manufacturers, supporters of innovations, ecosystems. And infrastructure companies. There is an opportunity to invest, to set up units and to run businesses. There is an opportunity to partner with our private sector and with the governance. There is an opportunity to earn as well as learn. Not only that, as well as to lead. There is an opportunity to grow.


Hey guys, I am Ken Ross here. I'm a business consultant that specializes in reducing costs for businesses by looking at their essential Expenses and today boy, I have a doozy today It's actually gonna be a two-part series because I have so much information to cover But let me give you the genesis of it and the genesis is Vendors do not care about you. I'm sorry. They just don't I actually had a problem where my AT&T service Experienced a very major outage and I want to get into some of the details of that But first, let me kind of give you a little background so I switched to AT&T internet had it for about two years and I really wanted to invest in Just having a very reliable connection and fiber AT&T fiber is this particular specifically what I have It's very reliable in the sense that you're using actual fiber optics, you know to your house and you have a very fast and reliable connection So with that being said, why did I experience such a catastrophic accident when it comes to my Setup, I'm gonna try to get into some of that I'm gonna do some I guess speculation because I don't have all the information When it comes to what it is that actually happened, but I will at least give you some of my Understanding in my expertise when it comes to how fiber optics work What in this particular instance? I was able to find out factually and what it is that I actually did some reconnaissance What it is. I actually did to to confirm some of those things. So let's get into it Let's talk about my setup. I have AT&T fiber Like I said and what that entails is I actually have a physical fiber optic line that is connected to my home And the way that works is AT&T takes the fiber line a Physical strand of fiber optic cable and connects it to my home that goes to a device that they control that device Takes the fiber optic signal and switches it over to something that inside the house You're able to use and that something in the house uses category 5 or category 6 Cableing and I'm sure you've seen it or familiar with category 5 cabling Category 6 or 6e is what it's like to be referred to as is the type of cable that you have Connecting to all of your devices in your home. So the way The fiber works is you get a fiber channel to your house switches to category 6 that goes to what they call a gateway and AT&T provides you with a physical piece of networking equipment that in a in some sense you manage or control right you have access to it you're able to Reset it you're able to change some of the settings. So, you know, you may not own that piece of device But in some sense you take ownership of it. It's part of your network and then from there that Gateway or that device can broadcast a wireless signal or you can roll out your own So in my particular instance what I have is I have cat 6 from, you know From the fiber to cat 6 cat 6 to the gateway and then I roll out what's called a mesh network and I have Nighthawk mesh networking There's these little devices you can put all over your house to extend your range on your on your wireless signal And it's a very reliable very fast wireless signal because of the mesh Nature of it and I'm extending what the gateway would give me because the gateway Doesn't have very good networking To be honest that that's just my opinion and in my experience the mesh network has done far better for my Household and for my area that I'm I'm using then what is out of the box that the gateway has so for anybody Who's looking for a way to enhance their wireless experience. You should really use a mesh network You should invest in a good one and maintain it make sure it's configured correctly That being said you can also still run what's called a wired network And if you have a house that's wired and you have a wired network Which you're gonna then have from the gateway is you're gonna have a switch that controls all of your connections to all your ports In your house So if you have physical networking cables in your house and each one of those jacks in your in your room Has a cable that comes from that room to a centralized place and my home actually is wired for cat 6 or cat 5 I don't I don't know exactly which one it doesn't necessarily matter The point I'm making though is is that I'm not able to leverage that network because of Where my gateway is my switch is actually closer to a garage area That I would have to put all of the networking equipment in there But my gateway is in one of my my rooms in my house the physical bedroom in one of my bedrooms in the house So I would actually have to run cabling from that room To where the switches are that would enable all the ports. I've actually instead of having that Problem and and having to solve that problem I came up with a separate solution and that solution is to roll out what we call a mocha Internet solution and that is basically you Broadcast your networking signal over your existing coax network You use the the already existing coax network that you have in your house And you hook into it and then you provide one of the mocha endpoints the internet signal And that internet signal is then shared amongst all the other signals in the house. So it is a very creative very viable solution if you don't have Physical networking in your house You don't have cat 5 cable like I have all over my house And then you don't have the problem of having to have your internet signal Being broadcast or being close to the location of where you're switching all of your internet too So with that in mind, I'd like to get into what I think actually happened The very first thing that happened to me is Sometime in the afternoon I'd say about 2 30 and the afternoon on a Thursday. I believe it was Yeah, it was Thursday. I received a text message from AT&T Hey, there's an outage in your area. We're gonna deal with it. It'll be two to three hours And so I was like great my internet's down. I'm gonna have to do something To kind of compensate for that. So I immediately brought out my my wireless phone and said I'm a set up a hot spot I'm gonna try to use my wireless hotspot feature on my phone done it before in the past Typically something that is fairly reliable if you have a good wireless connection You can connect a few devices to your phone No problem, right? And so I attempted to start to do that So I tethered a few devices to the to that one of them being my laptop computer Expecting my laptop to have an internet connection and that internet connection was not working I got no page response nothing Which raised my level of concern in the sense that I know that in order for a Wireless provider to be able to provide you internet They still have to be connected to the internet and given that AT&T is experiencing an outage This outage could extend much further than AT&T's control in the sense that this could be a major problem with the Network in this area So no sooner did I figure that out I received another text message. Hey, this is AT&T We know you have an outage in this area. It looks exactly the same as the previous message But the only difference was the time Now instead of a few hours It was somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 or 14 hours and I'll put it up on the screen so you can see it What the text messages that I actually received and that was rather shocking that I was able to receive These two text messages back-to-back so close together With these updates to know that it's going to take much longer and in the estimated amount of time for me to get service back and so with that being said I knew that Using a wireless hotspot was probably useless because not only am I experiencing this issue but potentially hundreds of other people are experiencing this issue as well as potentially a Wireless provider because wireless providers like I said they have to provide an internet connection to the internet They have a physical connection to the internet and if they're using fiber for that connection It's possible that their fiber connection is also experiencing this issue So that is where the complication lies in this particular instance is that I really do feel like what was going on at the time and I was I was Eventually confirmed of this particular issue is that there is a major outage in the fiber optic network So then let me tell you what happens next so I go through the rest of that day without internet and Not that this is a Third world problem, right? It's the first world problem most people without internet can deal and I was able to deal and my family was also able to deal but in addition to that my Entertainment, you know for most people in their house their entertainment comes from streaming services or even cable cable Television services. Well, none of these services were working because all of my Entertainment sources were streaming services. So I have streaming television I don't know if you've seen my video and I'll post the link to it actually on this side of the screen I got it right this time. No on this side screen this side screen. Yeah, it's on this side screen to my Woes with AT&T TV, which is actually a streaming service that allows you to see cable channels There are since cable network basically of streaming channels very similar to like a YouTube TV or something So I wasn't able to even access those channels because I need an internet package I need an internet service provider. So I had to make do for the day Going into the next day very much knowing that by 3 4 5 o'clock in the morning my service should be restored because hey, they gave me an estimate 12 to 13 hours 14 hours, whatever. I should have internet by the Fast forward to the next day. I go Wake up the next day. It's a Friday. I actually have to do work. I work from home Do a lot of remote work. Maybe even some zoom conferencing teleconferencing totally expecting my internet Service to be back and it wasn't Kind of speechless at this point. I don't even know how to Explain to you the feeling or the frustration right having an internet service provider tell you an estimated time Expecting those things relying on those things to actually come through and say hey look I'm giving them more than enough time. I'm gonna give them 20 hours instead of 14 hours or 15 hours to get this resolved and in ever thinking hey They're gonna actually treat me right and tell me a fair estimate Was incorrect in addition to that.  I was like confused I was like hey, well you said it would be 14 hours. What is going on? So that ultimately spawns another conversation and that conversation is with Support right I have to call AT&T now and I have to explain to them. Hey, I've been following along I've been more than patient. I haven't bugged you or annoyed you But I do want some information now because now we're at a place where you've promised The service to be restored at a particular time and that promise is unkept My first call conversation. I said I hear I was talking to them and I actually kept notes Like I said, I received a refund for one day of service Actually, I received a refund for two days of service and I'll get to that in a minute, but they Couldn't give me another explanation. They said oh it could be another 24 hours or 48 hours till this is resolved and I asked them well, what is the issue because obviously This has been an issue for some time and you guys have been trying to resolve this I'd like to have an estimate as to when I could expect my internet connection to come Back because I work from home a lot like a lot of people I also have or had at one point AT&T TV, which is now Direct TV stream, so I don't have any other source of entertainment or other avenues In addition to that I've been trying to use my phone as a as a tethering device to the internet to use my wireless internet service through my telephone and That isn't working either And we're unable to give me that support doesn't have the information They aren't able to give me everything that I need to know and be able to reliably make a decision So that was the place I was in Is they all right guys? I just wanted to show you this quick video here of why this is so complicated when you have Outages like the one that I'm experiencing right now like you're just walking along and then you see this thing here Here's a buried fiber optic line Right here If you have an outage They have to they have to go in there and they have to look for it Okay, so my creative solution was probably a creative solution that many people have in the situation that I was in And that is to go to a Starbucks. Yes. I said it Use Starbucks internet as a source of internet for the day, right? A lot of folks go there and do business So I thought hey it'd be worth a shot So I went to my local Starbucks. It's probably about two miles away from my location from my house my location where I'm using the internet and Unfortunately for me. I had the same issue that a lot of other folks were having and they had the same idea for the same solution So when I got the Starbucks there were already a couple of dozen people in the store using the internet doing their own thing I even had a conversation with someone who was having the same issue and said hey look I have AT&T fiber And I don't have internet right now and AT&T sucks and I was like well I could fully understand what you're saying because I was experiencing the same problem And I was promised 14 hours ago that I would have internet and 14 hours have passed and I still don't have internet But what I had is something they didn't have I already had a refund for two days of service And I told that person. Hey, you need to seek your refund. You need to call them and tell them This is a major impact to your service and you need you need to be compensated for that And that person followed through on that as well to get his refund for his service. So With that, I'm gonna kind of end my story right here I do have a lot more to the story that I'd love to talk to you in part 2 which I'm going to be premiering next year sometime after I get back from my vacation and Tell you kind of how all of this ended right what happened to my service. When did I ever get my service back? What else did I find and what in the world is this? That is something I'm gonna leave for part 2 would love to Have your comments in the comments section below have you ever experienced a major outage with your internet service provider and what did you do because what I did is Definitely unlike what most people did because I've actually had a chance to talk to some people And I actually went through a lot of different steps here to make sure that in the end It's a lesson learned for everyone And I have a takeaway for you in part 2 that I'd love to Bring to you on this channel. So stay tuned to this channel let other people know about what it is I'm doing out here. I want to share information I want people to understand that you don't have to take AT&T or any vendor for that matter for their word You don't have to be in a desert of no information You can be informed and you have things that you can do to Better leverage your provider and what it is that they're giving you and and give yourself a much better experience So until next time I am Ken Ross would love to see your comments in the comments section below Would love to hear from from others who have had similar issues Please put in that in the comments section below Please share with your friends and like this video and visit my website I'm Ken Ross calm until I see you next time.
