Um, do we have a motion to approve, uh, the minutes that were sent on out as part of the back it? I so move, all right. Thanks. Is there a second? Second. Okay. So a second from Sandy. Uh, the first hand I saw there. So we'll go with that. Uh, any comments on the minutes before we, uh, I do the vote. I do, I have a couple, two updates or corrections. All right. Um, David, what are those? Uh, let me see if I got to find them here quick. Sorry, I was in the process of looking for this before, uh, but you got to a quicker and I could find it. Hold on. Tate, while you're tracking that down, why don't we go to Courtney? I think Courtney had a couple of, uh, some, some comments as well. And then we'll come back to you there, David. Yes. My only comment is that my last name has two L's in it and it's spelled with one L in the meeting minutes whenever my name is mentioned. Sounds good. All right. Correction with the name spelling there. Always important there. And, uh, David, we're able to, uh, come back to, uh, uh, the comments. Uh, I haven't found it yet. Um, okay. Were there any other comments from Sandy or Jack or Liz? Or Joe? No, I didn't. Oh, yes. Um, I mean, I, I haven't found it, but in one end there was, uh, when I had mentioned, um, uh, maybe it was at the closing minutes about, uh, public input, uh, uh, kind of focusing on Mountain Avenue. It said Mountain Avenue between, uh, airport and hover. And it just in the, in the minutes though, I can't find it. It says, uh, Mountain at hover. So it's, it's on, on Mountain View. The trouble, the input that we've had for public to be heard is between hover and airport on Mountain View. Though I, I haven't been able to look at it on that. It looks like it's on page eight. You're talking about your comments, David, the Mountain View and airport road. That's right. Page eight second to the last paragraph. And it says the complaints regarding road and speed issues surrounding Mountain View and airport road. That's what it currently says. Yes. What it, what it should say is on Mountain View between airport and hover. Seems reasonable. Any other comments? So we have a motion to approve the minutes there, uh, um, uh, with, uh, hopefully with those adjustments there, all in favor of approving the minutes there with, uh, those adjustments, uh, raise your hand or say aye. Aye. Aye. Joe, don't have your video there, but are you supportive of the minutes? Aye. Yep. Oh, sorry. Videos not on my followings. All right. It's fair enough. Any opposed? All right. The minutes are approved. Uh, communications from staff. Hey, Tyler, Phil and Ben and Jim, hope you guys are doing well. Any, uh, any updates? I just want to say thank, thanks for hanging on tonight. We've got a bit of a special meeting. A little different than normal. Um, keep to a relatively quick timeline here about 645. We'll jump off of this meeting and you all should have another link to the joint session meeting with council and RTD members. So if anyone doesn't have that, let me know and we can work on getting that to you. Um, a couple other things, just some work updates, railroad closures. We still are anticipating being that BNSF repairs on Main Street at 1st Avenue will require a full closure of Main Street. Initially, the work was scheduled for earlier this month. That's been delayed. They intend to reassess and see if they can do that later in the month. I suspect it might, it is due due to road temperatures at the ground. So if they have really cold temperatures trying to pour concrete may impact their schedule again. So um, generally later in January, he's probably not going to see a warming trend, but we'll see what we'll see what weather holds for us. How long is your observation Main Street being closed? I would expect it's probably going to be a week project. I'm hoping for less than a week, but I would plan on about a week of it's a full reconstruct of that crossing, remove the rails, move the surface and some additional concrete on the road surface has to be removed in place. So it'll be it will be an impact to that section of Main Street for sure. And I take it the communications person. The city is going to be communicating with the local newspapers and community. Yeah, we will be coordinating with public outreach to the extent we can and and keep in mind this is a BNSF project BNSF and C dot. So we're doing our best to um make our position be heard and make sure that those entities understand the impacts to us but ultimately is the is their project that they're doing. If anyone's been out and about on hover, they may have you may have seen some message boards out today would you anticipate some lane shifts for um, I believe on the 13th. So starting in the morning 9 30 in the morning till wee hours of the next morning. We'll have some lane shifts in place. It's for leak detection on one of the main water transmission lines out there. So if you see work areas and lane shifts out there, that's what's going on there. Phil, I think you had a couple other things you wanted to mention. So I'll turn it over you. Thanks, Tyler. Thank you, Chair. Phil Greenwald, Transportation Planning Manager with the city. Just wanted to do some quick I guess just some quick info items. Really just one big one is we just heard back from a group called the Denver Regional Council of Governments. I think we've talked about in this group quite a bit. So I'm hoping you know Dr. Cog. Also C dot was working on these projects as well as far as getting dollars out to folks for some projects dealing with alternative modes and safety projects. We were able to combine that into one 1.2 million dollar project at Sunset and Kenpratt Boulevard or Highway 119. So if you think about Sunset kind of going through that area, we've done some major work south of Kenpratt Boulevard where we consolidated a four lane road down to what we call a three lane road with bike lanes. And we have bike lanes north of that north of Nelson. And what we're trying to do is connect from Nelson South to basically Kansas where the project starts further south there. We're trying to fill that gap as it were with the project and just make that intersection safer for all all traveling public. So we're excited that we finally we kind of knew it was coming but we had to kind of keep it quiet because it wasn't public yet. And so C dot let us know that they had officially approved that project. And so we can go out there with them and vigor and say that yeah we've we got the 1.2 million dollars we're pretty excited about that project and we're hoping to go after some other projects here but it's really based on our our resources and what we have at the city to be able to actually get those complete because what we're seeing now is that a lot of this money needs to be spent quickly and we have to show that you know we're making progress. So we've got some other projects that kind of fall under that CARES Act if you've heard about all all the funding from the federal government based on the on CARES and the COVID piece. There's some money available there that we're going after as well but it's going to it's going to be you know depending on how quickly can move projects forward. So I think that's it unless Tyler you thought I should talk about anything else but I think that's it for me. Thanks. Any questions or great thank you. Sounds like good news on on Sunset. All right anything else from staff? Okay I don't think we have any members of the public to be heard but just doing an invitation there are there any members of the public to be heard? All right well why don't we roll into our action in there with the transportation advisory board work plan and Tyler is that one you want to kick off? Absolutely thank you chair. So each year we do a January meeting is a good time to reassess what we hope to accomplish and work on. With this meeting we put together a proposed work plan and I would say it's not a hard and fast we don't we can definitely make additions or deletions to this as we work throughout the year and as new issues come up we can definitely adjust the schedule but but really kind of set the groundwork for what we hope to accomplish and things we want to see brought to this board this year. A lot of the items you'll see on here are repeats we do a lot of the same issues a lot of the same topics every year the capital improvement program being a big one that that this board provides input on on a year-to-year basis. We generally do an RTD meeting which we we do anticipate doing another RTD meeting later in the year in addition to the one tonight and full of other projects going on. Car plan land use amendments we can bring those to you as they're coming through the development process if that's some of the board's interested in seeing and any bike pad traffic safety funds crash reports some new projects on there so feel free to discuss comment requests we are asking for an action on this so with that I'll let you guys discuss thank you. Okay thanks Tyler so hopefully everyone's had a chance to be able to look at the the work plan that's part of the agenda here are there any comments on the work plan any questions clarifying questions other thoughts on the work plan I think a lot of things on here are you know things that that we've seen here in in the past great comments on this Jacques I'm sorry I just wanted to jump in real quick and just say that this all looks good and I really appreciate it this time of year it kind of maps out like the deliverables that kind of we as a transportation board need to look at what's our schedule to because there's stuff we need to approve and stuff that we need to be aware of so I just appreciate it this all looks good to me. Okay thanks just one quick comment on my side looks good to me as well Tyler just a favorite ask there I noticed that the neighborhood traffic mitigation program follow-up conversation there is scheduled for some time in Q2 which sounds fine if it's possible to have that in April or May that would be great I know personnel will be out the month of June so and we'd love to be able to participate in that conversation so it's possible to be able to have neighborhood traffic mitigation in April or May that would be great great any last comment before we seek to for a motion to approve the work plan all right do we have somebody who's willing to offer a motion to approve the 2021 work plan motion to approve all right Joe motion to approve the reserve second Chuck second great all in favor raise your hand any opposed all right looks like everyone's in favor of moving that forward there and Tyler thanks for giving us a plan for 2021 all right and then as it relates to the information items there we have an update on the quiet zones thank you chair so this game up that the last meeting we had there was a comment from the board to bring back some information updates on quiet zones where are we at where are we going where are we where have we been so there's a communication in your packet to really try and summarize that information where we're at as you know we were selected in February 2020 we received notification that we were successful in our grant application for federal funding which is going to provide four million dollars in matching funds towards implementing safety improvements so that we could then establish quiet zones bulk of my work in the last year has been working through the obligation process with FRA the federal railroad administration is the administrator of those dollars we had to do a lot of work to get all of our environmental and historical clearances and at the same time we're still continuing to finalize designs we are also in order to get the first round of construction or the first round of intersections under construction we are still working or waiting on a final construction of maintenance agreements from BNSF so a lot of moving pieces in this one a lot of a lot of hands in the pot between city of Longmont FRA BNSF and state preservation commission so we've had to do a lot of work on the on the front end of this and I'm hoping that we can get this going and start seeing some improvements here in the next the next couple of years right now we're planning on doing we're planning on having improvements at five crossings this year third avenue Longspeak 917 memory memory streets not part of the grant but that's a separate capital improvement project I think that's really the bulk of what I had to offer on this one to just a brief update and any questions at this point with quiet zones or you had mentioned I'm not real clear on stand-alone in the quiet zone you mentioned in the information you provided us that the one on mountain view is going to be a standalone but how many other places do you anticipate being stand-alone or is this the only one and I don't know what it standalone is so board member Stuart the thing to keep in mind with these quiet zones is that the trains require to start sounding the whistle a quarter mile in advance of each crossing so some of those closely spaced crossings that we see in old town third fourth fifth sixth longspeak they're all spaced at a block apart so you can't do if you do safety improvements at one the horn the whistle still going to be sounding right through that crossing because it's sounding for the next one in line either direction and so really you have to have a quarter mile spacing or more between each crossing to where you could do an individual crossing by itself mountain view is one where it is spaced for either direction that that one could be implemented as a standalone by its own and there may be some other ways we can package that to get maybe leverage that improvements at one intersection towards maybe speeding up the process of implementing a quiet zone and others would be on a temporary basis but then we'd come back and do the permanent improvement so there's a couple of strategy items there but mountain view the short answer is mountain view could be done and established as a quiet zone by itself 17th 21st every 66 those are the ones that really could be standalone quiet zone thank you thank you for explaining me hey Jacques I was trying to remember my memory is failing me here with the federal money Kyler is there any deadline requirements you know deliverables that we're we're kind of needing to adhere to or is this kind of open given all the partners that we have on this great question there there are deadlines we are working through what those deadlines are with FRA they there is some flexibility in terms of 2020 was a challenging year from a lot of fronts so so we do have deadlines we are currently still meeting all of these deadlines okay thank you any other questions on uh river quiet zones thanks Tyler can imagine the process of working with uh bnsf and anyone else on on top of bnsf is uh complicated at best so um thanks for your your help with that all right well let's keep plowing forward here any comments from board members um either on items that were raised today items you've seen around town anything else top of mind as relates to uh transportation related issues in Longmont so um all right Liz why don't you start us off first I want to say um thank you for all the work toward quiet zones I know that that was something that a lot of people felt really strongly about um one of the places I saw a lot of that feeling was in next door and uh during the past month it was interesting watching conversations on the next door app as people were talking about where they were having problems and wanted to have uh traffic mitigation and when I noticed that I said well here's the webpage for the city and this is where you start what you need to do and I realized that we probably could be doing better um an outreach but that's kind of overall I wish we could do a citizenship in the community merit badge for adults because so many people don't know how to interact with the government it's always them and they and their money and it's like I felt as I watched people talk about it we need to do more outreach on how they can get involved and I think that was part of what we were going to do with changing the rules about traffic mitigation but I just want to mention that that's an ongoing issue of people understanding how to interact with the Longmont government awesome thank you Sandy you want to go next with uh any comments on on your side yes thank you for all your work I I traveled down on Mountain View west um from um Hovered to airport road and I saw at Harvard the new crosswalk that was placed in where the flashing lights will go when you want to cross the street and how I appreciate that and I and I do remember we've had a number of people comment about the speeds on Mountain View and the hazards of children crossing um and the worry of them getting hit so thank you very much for putting that there and I know it's going to be used that's it thank you great thanks Sandy Courtney you want to go next there with uh any comments on your side sure um I just want to say the work plan is totally good and I appreciate everything that goes into that and looks like a a good list for us to keep continuing working on this year thank you thank you Courtney jock you want to jump in after that um I think I've talked enough tonight pass I here's to 2021 we got a good work plan and I'm excited for it sounds good Joe I will uh hand it over to you next any comments on your side I'll be abnormally quiet for once fair enough David I just want a second uh Sandy's comment about the uh passive pedestrian crossing on Mountain View I also went through it uh two weeks ago and um it looks good I I'm looking forward to seeing if uh if the public invited to be heard or comments that we may get indicate that they the neighbors are also happy with it that's all I have sounds good thanks David only thing I'll add Tyler and Phil this is more of a question for the two of you um uh in thinking about the conversation with uh RTD's new general manager coming up here at seven o'clock um are there any topics that you think will be important for us to be you know in particular listening for um or anything else uh timely that that we can help reinforce as an advisory board I can start off if Tyler doesn't mind um just uh wanted to let you know I think what we're really trying to do is this is more of a meet and greet and you should just understand the format is going to be kind of council led unfortunately for you guys on this um but fortunately for for council member Peck but um so uh you know Aaron Rodriguez is the mayor pro tem and he'll be running the show tonight but we are making sure that the TAB does have a chance to ask questions so that's kind of why I throw that flipping comment in about the council running the show this is your time is why I say that but um the council really is the the governing board of this so um there will be um chances for you to ask questions obviously but it really is a meet and greet for you to find out who these people the new people are and kind of what their stance is on different things you'll probably want to hear about their their long and short term goals I think one thing that you may want to bring up as a TAB is really the idea and and council may do this as well as the idea of more localized control of maybe local transit routes might be something you you you just see the response and see how folks are thinking about those kind of things obviously they're going to probably cover fast tracks early on in their comments because they know that's exactly their their staff has already prepped them with the idea that they're they're going to hear loud and clear about a train tonight and so um they'll probably be prepped for that but it's also about getting RTD help for our first and main project you know that's fast tracks those are fast tracks dollars that people forget about the 17 million dollars of actual fast tracks dollars so it's it is our tax dollars coming back to the community which is a is a good thing to to kind of hear about and so hopefully they know a little bit or enough about that we will have one board member who is from what's called District O which is really western Longmont so anybody who lives west of hoover Lynn Geisinger is actually your representative so yeah um Sandy um and and probably others but so Lynn Geisinger is your representative she's been there for a number of years already two years I believe and so she's kind of the veteran I believe among this group and so feel free to ask her questions too she has some more background but they are leading this whole idea of changing the governance and the structure of RTD to be really more inclusive of the locals and letting us have more of a voice in decisions that are made rather than it just being a centralized you know Denver centric system so maybe some things that you want to talk about also if you have any issues with things you've heard from riders or or have heard in previous TABs about you know kind of the state of the bus system if you've heard good things that's good to share if you've heard bad things that's probably good to share as well and Sandy you probably have a lot of information on that front based on some of the work you've done in your in previous in previous work you've done but just a just kind it's just a general sense you know if this was to be any other year this would probably be more of a reception than a than kind of a formal meeting and we do plan on having kind of the what we call like the RTD grilling session in March where we invite staff to come by and tell us about ridership and projections and of course this year it's going to be much different because the ridership is is way down right and and you know they've just had a they had three rounds of layoffs last week and so we did lose some some staff members that we we work with quite we were we were working with quite a bit one on the one person was on the first and main station planning effort so that's going to be a loss for us but but so they've been doing a lot of things I think to try to shore up their their costs and their expenses and and they've obviously laid off a lot of drivers too so it's a tough time for them so just remember that when we're kind of talking to them today and on in March that they've been through the ringer quite quite a bit but that we do still think the change is important and I just throw that out there and sorry I probably took all of Tyler's time but yes Council Member Peck thank you so one thing that if you're interested that I think might be appropriate for tab is a question on the the fairness of our different levels of passes that's been a that's been a conversation about there's too many are too confusing and and basically asking if they were going to address that because that affects all of us thank you great any additional I should say that there's been a push lately to do a fair fee system across the whole district which would be great for us because we're kind of paying for our small portion of it but there's there's a push that and this is happening all across the country well not all across but it's happening in various large metropolitan areas like Kansas City has adopted this and some others are in California are as well but it's just a like a fair free system across because it does cost a lot actually to collect fairs and that whole that whole piece does cost a lot of money so it's it's kind of balancing that level and we do pay taxes so great thanks Phil hey one quick question on that did so I know it was part of the federal legislation that was signed into law a week and a half two weeks ago that was supposedly going to be including some dollars for for transit agencies like RTD do we ever hear back in terms of what that came on out to and what that's going to be going towards I just got an email right before this this meeting 203.4 million dollars RTD expects to to get from from that so that's the portion meant to RTD and that's another please don't talk about that tonight sorry yeah no I butted in as usual but that would be another good question for tab but what are our expectations for that money sounds good great thanks so much for the update there Phil comments from council liaison anything else above and beyond the RTD conversation no I think I've said enough fair enough well any upcoming transportation meetings besides the one in 30 minutes that goes on to the rest of Bruce Raider I could not find any on my calendar for the next month so we'll keep our eyes posted if we if we do hear of anything we will certainly forward that along sounds good council member because yep okay Chris Quinn the project manager for RTD is having one tomorrow morning I'm trying to it's going to be at 10 a.m. is for for it's a meeting for local officials as an update am I looking at the correct one Phil it looked like that's when it was but I think anybody can listen in yeah he did not invite staff to that so I don't have it on my calendar oh I'm sorry for might just be for elected officials okay I'll see I'll see if you if we can if anybody can tune into that and if so I will send how the the link you can send it out to join interesting it takes place just as the the new Boulder County commissioners are going to be uh installed into their new office so interesting okay great thank you all right well uh I know uh the committee meeting will be talking about the equitable carbon free transportation activities so I interested to hear more about that um anything else pressing before we sign off and we'll reconvene at seven o'clock there as part of the the RTD meeting just say is there anyone that doesn't yet have the link for the meeting RTD meeting anyone need help with that or or customer back didn't come through you or it didn't I don't know why but okay thank you Sandy did you have it or did you need it hope you're on mute there still would you mind sending it to me again in case I deleted it I can do that thank you just it's on zoom platform so to be a little bit different than this meeting but it's a zoom meeting right and just quickly just the reason why we had to do this I think you all got it in the hopefully you've got it in the council in the column or in the information but council and RTD both meet on Tuesday nights at the same exact well basically the same time so we we had to kind of hijack your meeting a little bit here to to make it work and I appreciate your your patience and your time to do that I think it's going to be I think it'd be really great to hear I think you'll really enjoy the new general manager and the new board member for our district so look forward to seeing you guys all at seven all right sounds good thanks so much Phil thanks Tyler thanks councilmember Peck and we'll see you guys in half an hour just jumping in real quick Phil I think we're supposed to jump into that meeting like a quarter of right because there is a check-in for that so that while the meeting starts at seven um I think they want you to check in by by 10 of so kind of get there 20 of maybe so everybody gets a bio break for about 10 minutes 10 minutes sounds good thanks Jim everybody we'll see you later


This systematic scoping review aims to identify potential barriers to iDonation from patients who die in hospice and palliative care settings and to provide an up-to-date view of the current practice underpinning offering the option of iDonation to dying patients and their family members. The review retrieved 13 articles from the global literature, indicating that 542 patients could potentially have donated their eyes. Key barriers include reluctance among healthcare professionals to raise the option of iDonation and lack of awareness about donation options and eligibility among patients and family members. Additionally, there is a lack of clinical guidance drawn from high-quality evidence proposing interventions that could inform clinical practice and service development. This article was authored by Bagnana Cecilia Matissegwegg, Mike Bratcher, Michelle Maill, and others.


We'd like to find sufficient conditions for a graph to be Hamiltonian. One possibility is to find the contrapositive of a conditional of the form if G is not Hamiltonian then, but how is G not Hamiltonian? A common strategy is to consider extreme cases. In this case, suppose G is almost Hamiltonian. We can interpret this as meaning that adding one edge would make it Hamiltonian. So remember, concrete doesn't hurt. Let's try a specific example and see if we can gain some insights. So suppose adding an edge, UV, would make the graph Hamiltonian, which means there must be some cycle that includes all vertices of our graph. Now consider the graph without this edge. There's still a path from U to V that passes through all vertices. So we'll assume that U is connected to some vertices and V is also connected to some vertices. But if they're connected to adjacent vertices, we can take a shortcut and get a Hamilton circuit. What's a Hamilton circuit, you ask? Remember that every term in graph theory usually has several variants depending on who's using it. And in this case, a circuit is also a cycle. And which term somebody uses is a litmus test of what field they're in, or in my case, what I read most recently. So if the vertices are connected to adjacent vertices, we can get a Hamilton circuit from U to the vertex adjacent to V, the shortcut to V, from V to the vertex adjacent to U, then take the shortcut to U. So if our graph isn't Hamiltonian, this can't happen. Consequently, there must be some limit on how many vertices U and V can be adjacent to. So let's see how many vertices we can join to U and V without producing a Hamiltonian graph. So let's analyze some possibilities. Suppose U is connected to all the other vertices. If V is connected to any other vertex, we'll get a Hamilton circuit. And since, by assumption, we don't actually have a Hamilton circuit, this can't happen. So we note that we have seven vertices, and the degree of U is five. And the only way we can avoid having a Hamilton circuit is to make the degree of V one. So the sum of the degrees of U and V is six. Contrapositively, if the sum of the degrees of U and V is more than six, we'd have a Hamilton cycle. Circuit, whatever we call it. Or would we? So remember, we assume that U was connected to every vertex except V. If U was connected to fewer vertices, how many vertices could V be connected to without creating a Hamilton cycle? So let's try a different case. So suppose U is connected to fewer vertices like this. In the figure, if V is connected to U one, we'd get a Hamilton cycle. So it can't be connected to U one. By the same logic, it can't be connected to U four. But it can be connected to U three. Or U two. But not both. So we note the degree of U is three, and the degree of V is at most two. And so the sum of the degrees is five. So what if U was connected to three other vertices? Then V would create a Hamilton cycle if it was connected to, so V can only connect to U three. In this case, U has degree four, V has degree two, so the sum of the degrees of U and V is six. Let's summarize our observations. We consider to graph G with seven vertices, where the existence of an edge U V would have created a Hamilton cycle, but the omission of the edge makes the graph non-Hamiltonian. We found three examples where the sum of the degrees of U and V was at most one less than the number of vertices. And this suggested conjecture. Suppose G is a non-Hamiltonian graph with N vertices, and suppose adding an edge creates a Hamilton cycle. Then the sum of the degrees is less than or equal to N minus one. Can we prove it? Well, let's find out.

This is the dual rookie class from 11 12 12 13 So very very heavy on rookies here For anybody watching this on replay there will be a recap at the end of the break Where you can go to? If you look in the description of the video, there'll be a little hyperlink for the Break recap you can click on that if for some reason it's not working Just go ahead and Whatever time that is that timestamp says to scroll forward. How would I compare fields to Kyler Murray? I mean, I think Kyler Murray's got a little bit more Experience under pressure. I think I mean They're very comparable in regards to athleticism though So if it came down to like if Murray and fields were both in the same draft I think Murray would still go ahead of him You know so drew it seems like you agreed with me when I was talking about The order of quarterbacks. Oh for sure That's why these mixtures are awesome. Always get a little blast from the past on some of the names. You're like, man What was that team thinking but Think knowing that drew I also think that there's gonna be some big surprises. Yeah, I think there's gonna be some surprises Like I don't think it'll be like Baker going one type surprise, but at the same point you'll still be It is Sam it is Just it's very simple each box three autographs Yeah, I don't know if he'll be deer and headlights, but I do think he's got a little bit of a Like I said, I think Murray did better in pressure situations In the you know, I'm we saw in college compared to fields, but I still think he'll to be Kauai Leonard rookie impact For the spurs in my list Yeah, I like that. I like him too Drew. I mean I 100% expected chargers to take a lineman at 13, which I'm totally okay with except for if Kyle Pitts somehow drops to the 13th spot and then All all All thoughts are out the window Kobe Lakers Donny Killian. I mean You should take penace. Well Who are you guys gonna take? potentially Jamar Chase Isaiah Thomas Otto for the Sacramento Kings Kobe Chan Yeah, I agree So there's the thought he needs protection but What if he's really really good like as far as being able to get the get rid of the ball Quickly that that always does Luca second-year does he always counts Luca Kobe LeBron Giannis those all ships or rookie obviously rookie Bernard James Otto for the Mavericks and Joseph Kim LeBron James board members Miami Heat Edition Donny Killian Bradley Beal rookie For the Wizards Matt Lieber Andre Drummond for the Pistons Louis T No, I know Drew. I know I mean the only two I really like extensively Have like seen where Jamar Chase and what's his name from Alabama? That like I mean those are a clear number one and two I believe off the top of my head Kawhi For the Spurs Brian Frank LeBron for the Heat Donny Killian Bradley Beal Wizards Matt Lieber Anthony Davis 80 for the Hornets So remember these go city to city so these will actually go to the New Orleans Pelicans Which is Matthew Bloss? Yeah, I'm that's kind of what I'm seeing Yeah, Devonta Smith, I'm seeing a lot of talk about bangles and and Jamar Chase So just to make sure there's no issues of shipping For New Orleans Pelicans and the Anthony Davis rookie Michael Kidd Gilchrist as well Charlotte Bobcats goes to Charlotte Hornets Clay Thompson Golden State Warriors Kevin Kelly rookie Damian Lillard rookie for the Blazers Kevin Revis Kyrie For the cabs Matthew Moro Good names. Oh, I think I think it's a thing of both Shane I don't think him having a great offensive line is a bad thing all these Kobe cards obviously go to the Lakers Donny Killian See the thing is Alabama Benefits from being the team that everybody wants to play for no matter the position So people will always say like is the running bag are the Alabama running backs as good as they actually are or They benefit because they have the best left tackle offensive line center everything in between to block for But the in reality they have the best of everything Alabama has the best offensive line It has the best running backs. It has all of the positions, right? So people always Criticize like oh, maybe he's so he was so good at running back because of The line that he had and everything else as well. It's not that's not the case he's a he's Clearly one of the best running backs in college football. He probably will be number one He just also ended up benefiting from having a Really good offensive line to make him look even better So and the sad part is if he fails everybody will say the same thing Oh, it's because he was a benefit of a great offense line in Alabama. It's just like that's not it at all The guy is a great player But people will take anything and find any reason to criticize as many times as they can Moses Malone for the 76ers Dean Sullivan Brandon Knight for the Pistons Louis T We got all Farouk Aminu die cut four out of 25 for the New Orleans Pelicans in this case Matthew Bloss We do have a redemption set that over there Kyle Singler momentous rookies Detroit Pistons is Louis T and Tyler Hansboro two out of ten autograph Momental marks for the Pacers and Louis T. Yeah, that's a big question drew. I mean I Thought they would have done something last year nothing happened They re-signed Cam Newton We've got Dick Barnett 24 out of 49 for the New York Knicks Gretchen Tiernan Gerald Henderson 4 out of 10 Charlotte Bobcats, which is Charlotte Hornets and Max Bays About what Rex the buying your card. That's not a tease We just gotta talk about it. I'm off tomorrow though. So I'll message you you got LeBron All LeBron's good LeBron Miami Heat Donnie Killian Okay, so let's see who the redemption is I mean he's six foot and a hundred and sixty pounds momentous rookies auto card number 30 Chandler Parsons, which I believe rookie with the Houston Rockets, right? 2012 would have been Houston Rockets rookie draft of Houston Rockets 38th overall. Yes So that is Houston and Matthew Bloss, I mean he's tiny he is very tiny that doesn't mean he can't be effective I think he'd be a great slot receiver How can you say Travis ATN had a terrible line at Clemson? I don't think you can't really seriously say that chain, right? National champions Terrible offensive line those things those two things don't go together. I do like the offspring Dexter Doesn't he have gringo bandito hot sauce Rex? You know that they're they're they're at Orange County based My neck of the woods now we're into 1314 Yannis Yannis rookie That's pretty cool Off to check it out. Yeah crusades is awesome. I love the look of this We've got Jamal Crawford to 349 James Harden to 349 AK-47 I don't remember him with the Brooklyn Nets only Utah Jazz in my mind Nate Robinson Jersey to 299 for the Denver Nuggets That is Gretchen Tierenin Muhammad Abdul Raif Denver Nuggets also Gretchen that was the 249 that James Harden for the Rockets that goes to Matthew Bloss and Jamal Crawford for the Clippers that is Steve Birch Egan Dalla Victor Oladipo for the Magic Louis T Marcus Morris the 249 For the Phoenix Suns Brian Frank Jalen Rose 78 out of 199 Chicago Bulls Kobe Chan Marquise Morris the 249 for the Suns That was Brian Frank Jeff Teague the 349 for the Hawks Don McCrae and And Kenneth Fareed to 49 for the Nuggets And Gretchen Tierenin, so no Yanis rookie nice Victor Oladipo rookie there for the Magic. I would still say Shane you're probably That's probably not correct that they had a offensive a terrible offensive line. Maybe in 2020 they Struggled more than they did in 2019 But I would eventually guess that it's not sure But to say that Clemson wasn't as good of a team in 2020 as they were in 2019 That's not an understatement, right? Which would mean why Travis Etienne probably didn't have as much National coverage and stuff last year as he did the year before Cool. Now we're kicking up to 1718 so from now on out. It's 1718 1819 1920 2021 By the way, if you look at Clemson's offensive line from last year Shane, I'm gonna guess That every single one of those players at least a four-star recruit if not a five-star recruit on the offensive line Coming off of a national championship I'm sure they had plenty of young talented linemen that were like Yeah, I'd like to go there after all the fast food the first time Rex So 1718 Laurie Markinin the bowls Kobe Chan Tatum Mitchell Laurie Markinin Chinese New Year very nice for the bowls Kobe Chan Daren Fox Kings he will know he won't be a king for very much longer Kobe Chan on the Kings This is 1718 Chronicles power of Saul 299 for the Spurs That is Brian Frank Anthony Davis Relic to 199 for the Pelicans Matthew Bloss Derek White to 249 for the Spurs as well and Brian Frank Dear and Fox rookie Kings Kobe Chan Harrison Barnes to 149 for the Mavericks Joseph Kim. I don't think I've ever heard anybody say Hey, do you think this running back at Monster University in this case, Alabama is really that good or was he benefitting from the offensive line? Because I think the running back from my university also Monster University football Clemson He's better because he had a worse offensive line I don't think that's that can really be that's the first time I've really ever tried to see somebody Downplay how good their offense their defense their football team is out of 199 Jeff T for the Timberwolves Matthew Bloss Dwayne Bacon Jersey and Otto for the Hornets Max vice Josh Jackson for the Suns To 199 Brian Frank Well, Shane that I mean that happens with every national championship team You win the national championship the players cash in their opportunity to get drafted high And then you have a bunch of players that didn't play in a national championship year take over the very next year, right? Deon waiters to 299 for the Heat Donnie Killian Zach Collins Otto to 149 for the Blazers Kevin Revis CD Osmond to 99 For the Cavs Matthew Morrow No Tatum or Mitchell Cool. So one more box for 1718 and then we're pushing on to 1819 and we're finishing with crown Royale Kaboom opportunities Wesley Matthews To 99 for the Mavericks Joseph Kim Kemba Walker Panini Choice Award That is to 99 For the Hornets Max vice Derek White Jersey and Otto to 199 for the Spurs Brian Frank and Dennis Smith Jr. To 249 for the Mavericks and Joseph Kim. Oh, no And now we're going for Luca and Trey Okay, now we're into 2018-2019 Trey Luca hunting. We got three chances Three chances with them and then we got a whole bunch of Zion Jaw and the gang Well, let's see if we can get you first year and then more second year. Shea Clippers Steve Birch Bruce Brown Pistons Lewis T Omari Stottemire Green Pulsar out of 25 For the Suns Brian Frank. That would have been really cool Lonnie Walker Spurs Brian Frank Mo Bamba Magic Lewis T Trey Young Hawks Don McCrae Very nice Kita Bates Diop So nice Trey young in there. I know you're not Shane But I don't think I've ever seen anybody say hey in my national championship competing team I Had an offensive a terrible offensive line. Do you know what I mean?

No, no, no, somebody somebody just asked about Oh Yeah, no, so, you know, it's funny is actually I was telling somebody earlier. They're like, yeah Cuz like you've probably heard it people have been talking about like PSA's grades recently They're like dude some weird stuff's going on like like they've been harder on certain things and they've ever been and like So I think So I think what happened was, you know the company they acquired today I'm almost positive they had already acquired that are not acquired it But we're using their technology on a trial basis for grading Which is why people were getting worse grades than they expected with PSA by like a long shot on a lot of them And now that they saw the overall results of it I think now that they're like, okay trial basis over let's purchase them. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean so I think they were already using the technology Yeah, it's fair. Well, the funny thing is people are mad about it, right? That's exactly so like I was saying I was like, well, that'll just make tens even more valuable But what it'll do is it'll make nines. It'll make nines that people like look down on now as like the standard Not at all Like nine is a good grade and people are like trying to throw them away. You know what I mean?

Well Kamiano, there's nothing next the next thing would be whatever sells out. So there's nothing on the schedule So whatever you or anybody else contributes to to sell out would be the next break. There's not a scheduled break The schedule gets made based on what gets sold So as you can see there was the 600 points those like I said, we'll randomize to one person at the end Let's do this clearly authentic Didn't in that movie wasn't one of the scenes where like John Malkovich was acting or something like that or was in a play Or was he in a movie and you're just you're just a passenger in his body, right? Like you don't you don't control him, but you're a passenger And I think he can you if you talk while you're in there viewing he can hear you So when you're saying you can be that star are you saying like you then control what they do or Are you saying like you're just along for the ride like that?

Twitter is sending out subpoenas to Elon Musk's financial partners as part of its suit against Musk for backing out of the $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter. The company was granted a fast-track five-day trial set to begin on October, October 17th, to be exact. Musk's team had sought to put off the trial until early next year, but Chancellor Kathleen McCormick, the head judge of Delaware's Court of Chanceries said, quote, delay threatens for irreparable harm the longer the delay, the greater the risk, end quote. Musk maintains that Twitter failed to provide enough information about bots on the platform, and the company breached obligations by firing managers and laying off workers. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that, according to people with knowledge of the matter, Apple expects to delay its next major iPadOS software update, but just by about a month. So that would mean not releasing it at the same time as a new iPhone update, as the company has done in years past. In Google's Stadia News, 9 to 5 Google confirmed that the company removed the Stadia room from the company's New York retail store. Google's first retail store for in-person purchases, advice, demos, and repairs. It was an Apple store for Google things. The Stadia room was replaced by a new room called the Pixel Buds Pro Experience. Where's my Stadia room? Just listen to these earbuds. They're great. Buy them. AppleCare Plus theft and loss coverage is now available if you live near the Mediterranean. France, Italy, and Spain used to only get accidental damage coverage, but now they get theft and loss as well. Both versions of AppleCare Plus have deductibles they have to pay before making a claim. Claims are limited to per year. Standard AppleCare Plus costs depend on the phone version. Costs range from four euros, 99 a month to 11 euros, 49 a month. And AppleCare Plus with theft and loss is more expensive, as you might expect. Seven euros, 49 a month, up to 14 euros, 49 a month max. OnePlus announced its newest device, the OnePlus 10T, only four months after launching the OnePlus 10. Now, the 10T goes for $649. That's $250 cheaper than the $899 OnePlus 10 Pro. However, and Gadget notes that the 10T is slightly faster than OnePlus 10 Pro because it has a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 system on a chip. OnePlus's latest offering starts at 8 gigs of RAM, 128 gigs of storage with a new 16 gig, 256 gig tier for $100 more. So you have some options there. Other specs include an in-screen fingerprint reader, the USB-C port, but also a smaller battery and no wireless charging option, which will make some people not thrilled. All right, Scott Johnson loves to talk about NFTs. We can't stop him. Scott, what are you talking about today? Well, in my effort to never stop spewing information about NFTs, I'd like to tell you the following. Book publisher Pearson's CEO, Andy Bird, told reporters that he believes NFTs could help the company add revenue from the resale of digital textbooks. As you know now, if you have a textbook in school, you sell to somebody, they don't get any of that. Theoretically, a textbook sold as an NFT would allow for the electronic version of the textbook to be resold after a student is done using it, something that isn't allowed now for electronic textbooks. The NFT could also be configured to detect a portion of the or excuse me, direct a portion of the sale price back to Pearson, the publisher, something that cannot be done with the resale of physical textbooks or current PDFs. The Verge argues that Pearson is likely to still use DRM on all of its eBooks, which would make the use of NFT almost unnecessary since a resale system could be used with existing DRM. And it's worth remembering that Bird is not only speculating on the idea of floating it in public, if you will. He didn't announce any kind of NFT plan for Pearson. So this is an official, but they are talking about it. Listen, I so when I was thinking about this earlier because I'm I'm unlike Scott, who loves everything NFT, you know, most NFT things. I'm like, I don't want to buy a boardy today. But when it comes to something like, OK, let's say I buy a math textbook. It's required for my class. It cost me forty five dollars or whatever. And yeah, I can resell that for a loss. Maybe I bought it already already used. So that person that sold it to me was at a loss, you know, and so on and so forth. That has been how student textbooks have gone for some time.   But I think it's genius. I really do. Pearson's like, we made the book. If the book if the book is going to live, you know, with many people over a period of years after we made the book for you to make you a smarter person, I don't blame them for trying to get a kickback for it because they can follow who bought the book. Also, this this sort of represents a use case for the technology that's that's apart from all of the freak out. I noticed today when I first heard this story on Twitter, in particular, people were freaking out because the word NFT inspires a lot of anger and pushback and everything. But but to me, this is one of those legitimate use cases, not that there are others that aren't legitimate. But my point is like, this is a technicality that fits well within this need. Right. And if you're a publisher of content, no matter what it is, I think these are just, you know, these are just one example, but other publishers might take note of this. The idea that you could create that revenue stream longer term and maybe even I'm not sure they'll do this, but make the initial purchase less because, you know, in the long tail, you're going to get more money. These these all seem like good machinations to me. They don't this doesn't feel like the crypto bros are back and they're trying to figure out another way into your wallet. I don't think that's what this is. I don't either. I feel like it's like this is like a very, you know, making textbooks for college or, you know, for education in general. We've been doing this a long time. Why have they done it before now? Well, you don't need enough to do this. You have a digital rights management platform. You've even got a subscription platform for textbooks. Why not just offer this? Why go out in your earnings call and float the language of NFT without a plan? That's my question. That's a fair point. I'm not saying either one of you are wrong and anything you've said. I'm just a little suspicious if they're really into doing this. Why they haven't done it? Do you think it would be like if you're trying to build? I was thinking about this comparison today. If you were trying to build, let's say an audience support system and you had to build everything in the back end for people to support something you're doing, a show or a podcast even, or do you do the thing that's already got a lot of automation triggers built into it? Is it cheaper to roll around is basically what you're saying. Kind of what I'm saying and manage it in the long haul. Like, is it going to be a thing where because it's the ledger and because it's the all knowing blockchain forever and always, that there'll be systems in line that will just always be there for you to track your stuff, whereas any other thing you'd have to do at all. You'd have to manage that whole. I think there could be a world where Pearson's Andy Bird came out and said all those things and said, we are partnering with these platforms that are very experienced in doing this and take advantage of the efficiencies of a blockchain and NFTs. And we're going to provide the ability for you to resell your textbooks, but also get constant updates. So your textbook will always be the latest addition. No matter when you bought it, it's it's going to do all these great things. And here's the benefit of the NFT, but that's not what he did. He went on the earnings column, man, NFTs, huh? Those are cool. You know, maybe we should do that with textbooks. Well, that'd be fun, right? Yeah, we did do it a bit. We gave it a better description than you did for sure. That's where the conversation like we're all having a conversation about like, well, is this good? Is this bad? It's certainly advantageous for a company like Pearson. But as you're saying, Tom, it's like it was a bit of a throwaway. Like, you know, NFTs might be a future for us. Might be real good for us. We don't know. Let's see what people who read Bloomberg think. Yeah, I a smart person told me recently, I can make more money from NFTs.   And he's not really thinking about describing it. So I'm with you, I'm with you, Tom, on this, that entirely, by the way. And I agree, he could have messages so much better, especially given the climate or NFTs, this would have been the time to be very verbose about what your plan was or wasn't and he missed it. Well, camera people out there, you know who you are. It's not all about smartphone cameras, but you may have heard DSLRs could be on the way out. Is that true? Not exactly true. But there is a big change going on in the camera industry and Rich Truffilino and our own Amos are here with the low down. Well, Amos, if you heard a wailing and gnashing of teeth from a photographer friend of yours, there is good reason. Kind of big news in the world of photography over the last couple of weeks here. It's it's pretty big. Nikkei Asia reported that Nikon will stop developing single lens reflex cameras all together DSLRs as they're known in the biz. Nikon had previously said they would not develop another flagship after their D6 cameras, their big professional body. This is the things you would shoot the Super Bowl with or something like that. But this announcement now means no new DSLRs seem to be coming at all. If you thought Nikon might have already been out of that market, you'd have good reason the D6 came out in June 2020, which in tech terms is like a thousand years old in camera terms. It's not that bad, but it's it's been a while. Now, the important thing to note here, Nikon has not confirmed this report. They've not said they're stopping it, but they didn't deny it either. And they did say they will continue to produce, distribute and support existing DSLR models, but I've already told investors they plan to wind down the business by 2025 anyway. So, you know, we may be debating about angels on the head of a pin here.  Nikon DSLR does not disappear from store shelves as of yet. For some context, though, Nikon first started producing film SLRs back in 1959. I think it's important to set this up if you're if you haven't been following the camera market recently, since the early 2010s, there has been an increasing number of so-called mirrorless cameras. I'm old enough to remember when we didn't even know what the term we were going to do, we were like ILCs interchangeable lens cameras. We didn't kind of quite know. Basically, the difference is with the DSLR, you have a mirror kind of in the middle of your camera. You're looking through the lens, but it's going. It's hitting a mirror, bouncing up to a prism and then heading into your eye. A mirrorless camera is just reading the sensor directly through the lens. You're still viewing through the lens, but there's no intermediary there. Right. And one of the big things that you have to understand about that is that if you have a mirror that is redirecting light from the lens into a prism to go into your eye so you can frame it and find your focus, all that kind of stuff. When you actually go to hit the shutter, that mirror has to flip up out of the way. So you have a physical action that has to take place in order for the light to go through the lens and hit the sensor, which is hiding behind the mirror. So it's more physically complicated, but for a long time, they didn't have necessarily the hardware capability to not only have the sensor watching what's coming through the mirror, but also feed it to you in your eye in a way that was useful without so much lag that you couldn't properly frame a shot.  And so for, especially in the early days, I had an early Olympus EPL one camera. So it's all screen based, right? So you're dependent on not just resolution, very important for determining the critical focus and that kind of stuff, but also input lag, right?  And then lots of potential input lag, especially if you're not necessarily that bad if you're shooting a portrait, if you're shooting sports or that kind of stuff can get to be a big problem. So for a long time, these were kind of relegated to more enthusiast cameras just out of technical limitations. Yeah. In fact, the first time Canon dipped its toe into the mirrorless market was with the, I believe the M50 just about 10 years ago in July. So that was their first dip into it. And that was with the smaller sensor. It was with a camera that was designed with fewer features. So they could concentrate on providing that lower latency display for you to frame and take your shots. Sony had already been in that waters, Nikon hadn't quite got there yet. But that was kind of like the big impetus into, hey, let's let's try this out. So it's only taken 10 years. And I got to say within 10 years, mirrorless has basically killed the DSLR market. Well, and for me, really, it's video, right? Like the emergence of like every photographer now is basically a hybrid video shooter and the issue with a DSLR is like you said, you have that mirror that's literally in front of the sensor. You're never at any point when you're using a DSLR, if you're looking through the viewfinder, you're not seeing what's on the sensor. To do that, you actually have to flip up the mirror. You lose one of the primary benefits of a DSLR so that you can use live view mode to do a, to read off of the back screen. And it, and that requires also, then you need two different ways of focusing, the two different focusing systems on the camera. You need two different exposure systems on the camera. So if you're doing video for any appreciable amount of time on one of these cameras, it provided you have good displays, which we now have an abundance. It's a lot easier to just go with a mirrorless camera. And hence why we're seeing everyone but Pentax kind of going mirrorless. This is my first DSLR. It is a EOS Rebel T1i. And I could either look through the viewfinder or see the image on the back screen and I never used it for video because I had to use the image on the back screen and the lag was awful. The capability of the camera itself was awful. So going to a mirrorless format for me seemed like a no-brainer. And I almost went with the M50, M60, one of those lines, but they use a different lens set. So I wasn't ready to make that jump quite yet. But now that the R series has come out, I jumped immediately. I was hooked. I knew exactly what the capabilities were going to be. And not only do you not have the physical shutter or the physical mirror that has to flip up for the shutter to actuate in the sensor to gather the light, but you don't have that space commitment for the mirror. And that allows you to build everything in the camera, just a little bit more spaced out for heat dissipation or for putting more components in there. Adding buffer size, all that other stuff can all fit in there now because you have that space that you can now, you know, not only bring the sensor closer to the glass to just give you a better focal truth, you know, that consistency, but you can also rebuild the entire internals of the camera around that one system instead of having to have two different systems. You can still get DSLRs today. They are not like going off shelf today. Like I said, companies like Rico Pentax still committing to DSLRs. But it seems like mirrorless is the way of the future when it comes to, you know, your professional high end interchangeable lens cameras. Yep. Back to you guys. Thank you, Rich and Amos for that. That was a little bit of an experiment to have those guys talk about this in sort of an evergreen way. If you like experiments next week is your week. All next week is DTNS Experiment Week. We're swapping out normal DTNS shows and trying out some new ideas. Last year we launched shows like Barbecue and Tech and the Tech Jon. They started on Experiment Week and now are their own shows going strong. This year, Rob Dunwood and Rod Simmons are teaming up to give us a reaction show to Samsung's upcoming Fold announcements. Nicole Lee is going to have a tech culture show from an Asian American perspective. It all starts next week, Monday, August 8th on the DTNS feeds. NPD Group estimates that spending on video games fell one point seven eight billion dollars last quarter down 13 percent on the year. You all just aren't spending the money on video games like you used to. Mobile content suffered the most. The quarterly decline fell 20 12 percent on the year. Hardware and accessories declined one percent and 11 percent respectively. If you've been following the corporate earnings reports, you probably saw some of this coming, right, Sarah? And indeed, Sony reported sales of the PS5 rose four percent on the year, which is far from booming and game software sales fell 26 percent. Sony expects the market to continue to slow and revise its annual profit forecast down 16 percent. OK, so that's Sony. Microsoft did not fare any better. However, Xbox hardware revenue fell 11 percent on the year. Xbox content and service revenue fell six percent. An overall gaming revenue dropped seven percent. Nintendo also reported Wednesday that Switch sales fell 23 percent last quarter. Nintendo's software sales also fell eight point six percent. Why the drops? Yeah, so there were a few reasons that the company's game for the short fall Sony and Nintendo both cited supply chain issues. Both said they believe those supply chain issues will go away by autumn. Sony and Microsoft both cited reduced numbers of people playing games. In fact, Sony even went so far as to cite a three percent drop in monthly active users on the PlayStation Network. That's that's where people are getting in touch with each other to play games over the Internet. There was one bright spot, though, right, Scott? There was. MPD noted that one segment of the gaming industry rose during the last quarter. And that was non-mobile subscriptions. PlayStation Plus subscribers are up to forty seven point three million from forty six point three million at the same point last year, partly in due to their their big change, their tiered system they just put out. But down from the peak of forty eight million in fiscal quarter three twenty twenty one, Microsoft didn't update its cloud gaming or game pass numbers. It's worth noting that Amazon Lunar will be part of Samsung's Samsung's gaming hub on the twenty twenty two smart TVs that they're doing. But basically to sum it up, people are buying fewer games, spending less time playing them, but there are spending more on these subscriptions. And I don't as somebody who's followed this for a long time, I know this surprises me.  This is pandemic, you know, everyone's getting back to real life and people just aren't sitting around playing games on mobile or, you know, on some sort of other screen as much as they were before. Right. I think that's part of it. I think part of that is a pandemic or not. There was a real uptick during that time. And I think there's some burnout happening. I hear this a lot of anecdotally, anyway, from friends and others who cover the business and there's there is a sense that we've kind of flooded ourselves during that era and actually kind of championed the idea that video games were the great place to land comfortably when things go bad. You know, we can we can turn to them and and have that be our way to deal with trouble like the pandemic, for example. And while I think that that's true, I think too much of anything is is probably, you know, needs a little bit of a break. However, I don't think any of this is any sort of doom and gloom on any of these fronts, including mobile. I'm a little surprised by those numbers. But on the whole, I think we were headed toward a slowdown, which is a matter of when we're already at a slowdown right now with new games coming out. There's been a million delays as a result of the lockdown and its effect on development. And we're still not seeing some of those games come out yet. Many of those have been pushed to next year and beyond. So there's a drought there as well. And I'm a little surprised none of them brought that up as much because it is the summer is always this way. A little bit. No, they did. They did. We didn't write it in our article. But but Sony actually did say, you know, we didn't have a lot of big titles out. Microsoft said some of our bigger titles are coming out later this year. So that's certainly a part of what they're saying as well. Yeah.  But having been around since the big video game arcade crash of 20 or sorry, 1985 when I was 14 years old and my dad owned arcades and watch. I watched that just wreck your dad. Owned our kids. Oh, yeah. I should say I didn't know this.  But the point is I remember many, many, many talking heads then saying, well, that's it. The fads over. Nobody cares about these anymore. And they couldn't have been more wrong. In fact, they were wrong very quickly with the advent of the NES and other home console stuff and arcades made a comeback as well in the 90s. And like a lot of this stuff is cyclical, hard to predict, maybe, but I don't think we're anywhere near slowing down. The industry itself is gigantic. It still surpasses that of music and television and film in very substantial, large dollar sign ways. And we may see, you know, I don't want to call it a recession. You're going to see a little bit of pullback, but I don't think it's going to last very long. And when we get kind of caught up with both, we kind of have two things going on. Development got slowed down by the pandemic and supply chain got slowed down by the pandemic famously. And we talk about it here on that show or on the show all the time. Those two things have contributed to a weird desert period. And where I just think we're in that and they have to report the numbers as they see them. What year was that arcade fallout? 84 85 was when when it really took a big dive and it was 85. Were there recessions back in the 80s? There were. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? It might. I mean, sometimes it's descriptions would be doing OK, because people are like, I still want to play games. I just can't spend on games like I used to. So let me save some money and just get access to games on a continuing basis. I can budget for that. I know exactly how much I'm going to spend. I think that makes sense. I'm glad you brought that up because I don't want to spend much more time on this. But just a quick note about subscriptions. I think we are finally hitting a little bit of the rubber and road on the future of subscriptions. I think Microsoft's Game Pass has made their case and it's a strong one. And I think Sony's revamped here. System for Plus is also making that case for their customers. And we're already seeing that case made on lots of other fronts on PC. And otherwise, I think that this might be the time where we look back and go, oh, that's when subs really locked in as the preferred method moving forward. So we'll see. Yeah. Well, moving on from games to the world of the beautiful game, if you're not familiar, Dan Compos from NTX is going to tell you all about it and how you can watch it online going forward. Hello, the DNS crew. I come with some news about the sports streaming wars taking place down the border. Last Sunday, folks were happily watching the live stream of the Leon versus America soccer match on the Marca Claro YouTube channel. Claro Sports chairs broadcast rise with Fox Sports for the Leon and the Pachuca Games. However, Fox Sports send a takedown notice in the middle of the game. The director of strategic alliances and content for Claro's parent company, America Mobile, Arturo Elias Ayub posted on Twitter that Claro has a valid license for the transmissions and commercial exploitation of the Leon matches through the Internet, including the Claro platform and YouTube channel. Fox Sports responded that the contracts specified that these games cannot be broadcast for free. However, Claro Streams on the Claro Sports and Marca Claro were not interrumpet only on YouTube. Marca Claro and Claro Sports are considering taking legal action against Fox Sports. For this and more news, listen to Noticias de Tecnología Express, where we know that soccer is a real football. Back to you, amigos. Guys, Dan, you can get Spanish language tech news from Dan on the regular, just subscribe to Noticias de Tecnología Express at dailytechnewshow.com slash N-T-X. Well, Internet Explorer lives, my friends. You might say, but no, that's impossible. Didn't Microsoft prevent anyone from using Internet Explorer and Windows 11? Yes, but thanks to Twitter user Zeno Panther, who broke Internet Explorer's chains and set it free to run freely on Windows 11, we're in a new world, people, if you want it. Microsoft disabled IE in Windows 11. That was official. That's what the company did, making it the first version of Windows without IE for more than 20 years. Even if you try to launch IE in Windows 11, the OS forces you to use Microsoft Edge. That's their, you know, next gen browser. But if you search for Internet options in the start menu, then you launch the control panel applet, then you select the programs tab, then you hit the manage add-ons area, then you click on it, learn more about two bars and extensions. You can still launch Internet Explorer and bypass the commands that force you into Edge. Way to go, Zeno. Zeno Panther, mad respect for your investigative skills. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Yeah, but who said now you can't say there aren't such thing as zombies? I believe it. Zombie, spelled Z-O-M-B-I-E. IE.  Let's give you some money. Yeah, this isn't a bug. This is a thing they left in on purpose for certain situations. Right, because this isn't even a hack. This is just a like, hey, if you click here and click there, you can still find it. So I don't know. Let's check out the mailbag. Let's do it. This one comes from Marlin. Marlin says, per your discussion about phones and replacing batteries on yesterday's show. I don't know why this phone is being ignored by everyone in the tech media, but I've been using the Samsung X Cover Pro and I love it. Has a swappable battery, a micro SD card slot, costs less than $500 and is tough. Flew off the top of my car, landed face down on a highway on ramp and the screen is in perfect condition. I mean, could assume Marlin. Marlin says I've hung onto phones with swappable batteries ever since the notes. Sad that they don't have them anymore, but things got fairly sketchy for a while to keep a phone with a swappable battery. The LG V20 wasn't the best choice I ever made, but this phone has been a godsend. Yeah, so I did a little search around and at least my cursory search of a few reviews, Android authorities seems to be representative. The X Cover Pro doesn't get a lot of coverage because it's not considered to be very good in its class. It's not bad. It's not considered to be bad either. It's just considered to have a little bit of an underpowered processor, little laggy on things, and that there are other durable rugged phones out there that have better performance and at least as good a battery life in the swappable and rugged and all of that. So that would be why you probably don't hear about it as much, Marlin, but nice to hear from somebody who actually has been using it and living with it, saying like, hey, works great for me. It even survived the on ramp. That's amazing. 100%. Yeah, I mean, if it works for you, then it works. Well, thank you to Marlin and thank you to everybody who writes in with your feedback on things we talk about on the show. Keep that feedback coming. Always makes future shows better. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com is where to send those emails. And thank you to Scott Johnson as always for being with us today. Scott, what's going on? I love being on and especially when my monitor goes blank and I don't know why it did. I think I have a loose cable. Anyway, you can also see me and that's all that matters. Here's the deal. I do a bunch of shows on my network, but the one I want to point to in particular is one that will really tie into what we talked about today with subscription services and where gaming's headed. That's right. The show is called Core. It's over at frogpants.com. You'll find it and other shows. There's something there for everybody. So go to frogpants.com and check it out and let me know what you think of it all. Again, that's frogpants.com. Well, we're always happy to have frogpants himself here on the show. We're also happy to welcome a couple of brand new bosses. We got Charles and we got Paolo. Both just started backing us on Patreon. Thank you, Charles. Thank you, Paolo. You know, yesterday we said it could be you and today Charles and Paolo took us up on that and we're like, yeah, it's us. So tomorrow could be you. Yeah, it's good stuff.
