Hey everyone, we're getting to the end of 2023 and I thought this was an important conversation to have. Don't worry, we've got plenty of news and rumors and other crazy stuff to go over your head into 2024 and I'm really excited about pretty much everything that's going on at Nintendo whether it's the movies, we've got the Animal Crossing Legos coming, we've got the Donkey Kong theme park coming, likely a new system launching next year. I know some of you don't believe that but I guess time will tell on that. We have probably a Nintendo Direct coming up early in the year, if not February, maybe March, I have no idea if Nintendo moves it around. Princess Peach Showtime looks pretty fire, 1,000 year door, etc. There's a lot to be excited about even if we don't have like that major game, right? We don't know if Metroid Prime 4 is coming next year, we don't know about 3D Mario, we don't know about New Zelda games, we don't know about anything, a new Xenoblade game, like we don't know about any big games right now for next year but look we're not even to 2024 yet so let's not hit the panic button just yet. What I do find interesting though is this idea that, by the way this is going to apply to more than just being Nintendo, you guys have seen the title already, that being made fun of for being a fan of something. I'm a 37 year old father of three and it's very interesting watching how not only some people treat my children, other kids even treat my children, but just thinking to my own experience how much I've been, I don't know if the word is bullied, that's probably the correct term but that can encompass quite a lot of psychological warfare and you know what this entire topic really can, so maybe bullied is the right term, I've been made fun of my entire life for playing Nintendo and it's only really gotten a little worse as being a Nintendo YouTuber and I find it fascinating because when we live in our online bubble we tend to stick in the communities that are accepting of us but when you're out in the real world you don't always get that choice and I'm sure some of you have maybe never had anyone make fun of you for being a fan of Nintendo, maybe it's just where you grew up, maybe it's the company that you keep, maybe no one really cares and you would figure today in the world where we have the Mario movie being so massive and the theme parks, people would be more accepting of you being a Nintendo fan right because Nintendo is a global brand and they're massive and while they're not at the level of Disney some of their characters like Mario I would argue are just as recognizable as like Iron Man and Spider-Man and Mickey Mouse but yet for some reason if you're actually a Nintendo gamer there are still certain segments of this world that will try to tear you down and I thought this might go away as I became an adult because hey most of my audience watching this right now also happens to be an adult according to YouTube's metrics unfortunately that hasn't been the case and this video is really for everyone who's ever felt bullied for what they're into and that includes Nintendo. The thing is it's never okay to tear people down it's never okay to make fun of people especially people you don't know because they're into something that you think is childish that's like the biggest thing that happens being a Nintendo fan is being told that I can't be one or that why are you into those kiddie games if I'm sitting there at line at GameStop for some game launch that happens to launch on another day for another system right like there could be a Pokemon game launching but there's also a Call of Duty launching at the same time I'm an adult everyone there assumes I'm there for Call of Duty but what I'm sitting there busting out my switch and playing Pokemon and they start making fun of me for it because I'm actually there for the Pokemon game that is not okay it is not okay to pass that sort of judgment on to others but it feels bad right sometimes we even start to question ourselves like should I really still be doing this you know I've been a lifetime Nintendo gamer should I really still be playing Nintendo games as I near 40 years old maybe I'm the one that's wrong and that's what happens when you're pressured and bullied and made fun of is you start to question who you are and while we deal with a lot of that questioning throughout our lives right as we're trying to figure out you know going from being a little kid to being a teenager becoming an adult maybe having children or passing in your 30s and 40s and we advance in our careers and everything else going on and as we get older and eventually hit an age where hey you start to realize man I'm really damn old I can't sprint like I used to I can't do this like I used to I can't jump like I used to I can't do the things I used to do it's hard to wake up in the morning there are times just from growing old and where we question who we are where we go through this crisis of self-discovery I guess is the way to put it and because that already naturally occurs I don't think we need the pressures of others telling us what's okay to like and dislike and unfortunately we live in a world where everyone is extremely judgmental of others and maybe you and I are just as guilty I grew up when I was younger a very religious family and I was always taught hey if you don't have anything nice to say say nothing at all and I'd love to say that I've always like followed that mantra of look I might think something bad but I'm not gonna say it and I'm not gonna act like I've never you know quote-unquote judged others but I also try not to put people down for being fans of things like it I'll give you an example Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to me is a bit of a mess and I don't really enjoy conversations around most of the Pokemon series you guys have probably seen this on my podcast and if you haven't tuned in January 10th we have a literally a Pokemon episode you'll see how like disinterested I am in a lot of the Pokemon conversations but I don't judge people for being into it I don't look down on Andres restart for being into Pokemon I don't look down on you know Jake Randall another regular on my show for being really into Pokemon that's okay it's okay that they're super into something that I'm not likewise I'm really into games like Age of Empires and I you know they're not gonna sit there and judge me for it I play Madden right and God this this really is frustrating because this is you know something that is related to the Nintendo fan base there was a time a couple years ago I livestreamed me playing one of my Madden games I was playing a Madden League game on my Nintendo Prime channel and there's a reason you've never seen me do it again since then I was mocked by the Nintendo fan base I garnered for playing Madden because they think you know EA is so evil the game is so bad blah blah blah blah blah and you know what many ways I don't disagree with those opinions but I'm still having a good time playing the game and I don't need your judging eyes on me and that's why I said this applies to more than just Nintendo but I'm sure many of you have been through this in life in one point or another other people looking down on you for what you're into and the things that you enjoy and as a content creator I thought you know doing this YouTube thing I've been I've been pretty serious about it for six years the last year I've been doing it full time I thought people would maybe back off right I walk around town wearing this Nintendo Prime hat I'll walk around wearing a Zelda shirt or a Mario shirt you guys know I have that purple Kirby shirt as well yeah I like to dress up and look nice but sometimes my under shirt this one I'm wearing now doesn't happen to be one but it'll be a gamer shirt and I thought that you know people would just be accepting maybe we did Google what the hell Nintendo Prime is because they've never heard of it and instead there I'll get a lot of why are you wearing that Nintendo bullshit grow up this just happened when I was at Costco why people why why this why this particular person felt the need to tell me to grow up was quite fascinating and then they're sitting there they were wearing like a John Deere hat and a flannel shirt and I wasn't passing any judgment on them and the brands are there and two rather all are you supporting a tractor brand on your hat or whatever like why would I even care about that but for some reason because I have Nintendo Prime on my hat and was wearing at the time I think it was even a breath of the wild shirt so you would figure this is a more commonly accepted game among even you know other fan bases here was this person in their 50s or 60s again I don't really know exactly how old they were making fun of me telling me to grow up as I'm sitting there with my three children and that bothers me the most is I'm walking around with my kids shopping being a responsible parent and I'm being told in front of my children that I need to grow up because Nintendo's on my clothing and then I had to have a conversation with my kids when we left the store because they were like why was that person making fun of you you're you aren't you a Nintendo YouTuber why would anyone make fun of you dad and that was not a conversation I was prepared to have that day so sorry if I'm getting a little emotional this is just a situation that I isn't okay and the reality is we're gonna be dealing with this our entire lives there's a lot of and you know excuse my language I don't do this much on the channel assholes out there okay there's a lot of assholes out in the world and the unfortunate reality is this stuff is not gonna go away but I wanted to let everyone know that deals with this stuff and sometimes it can even add to depression and other things that we're dealing with one you're not alone okay you can always come into my live streams you can always interact with my community interact with me find a welcoming warming community that even if you have opinions that are different from ours we'll probably still like it as long as you're not going out of your way to trash things other people are into it's fine to not be into something it's fine to say oh I didn't like the most recent Zelda games I didn't like Breath of the Wilders of the Kingdom and that's a perfectly fine opinion but then you can't trash others for being into it or just trash the game overall because you didn't enjoy it yeah we don't like that because you shouldn't you know you can not be into something without trying to ruin it for other people I I want to just let you know I'm here for you and that you know we live stream every Monday Tuesday Thursday you know we have our podcast on Wednesdays come join our community and feel welcomed and this isn't a plea to get more subscribers isn't a plea to get super chats or what is that on video super thanks I think is something you can do this is more of a letting you know you're not alone because I think in times like this we feel alone when I was at that store and the unfortunate gentleman said those things to my face in front of my kids while we're in the dairy section getting eggs and milk I felt alone you know there wasn't gonna be anyone defending me I didn't have my community of YouTube people there defending me or telling this person you know that he's wrong and I didn't I didn't know what to say in the moment you know I the only response I really have was I'm sorry you feel that way and I walked away with my kids like what else was I supposed to say I wasn't gonna turn around and judge him harshly make fun of him because I don't I don't believe two wrongs make a right I don't think someone coming at you and attacking you gives you the right to fight back right this is a mental assault but two wrongs don't make a right like I don't want to also mental assault them because clearly if they're that harsh of a thinker they probably already have a lot of anger internally and I don't need to stoke those flames so yes I want to let you know you're not alone and you're obviously really welcome here and probably welcome among your friends and hopefully your family I know this YouTube kick I wasn't always welcome among my family with this YouTube gig I do think that you also need to be reminded that it's okay to be in the things that other people aren't and there's another community that probably gets chastised more than anyone you know you have like the My Little Pony fans out there I know you guys get this shit a lot and I'm not here to sit here and tell you what to be into I'm not here to tell anyone what to be into maybe it has to do with your gender maybe it has to do with your sexual preferences maybe it has to do with you still ultra love Disney animated films as an adult but everyone else tells you that that's wrong maybe you're super into really really bad foreign films and that's all you watch and everyone makes fun of you for it it doesn't really matter what it is just know it's okay to have your own interest in life so long as that interest doesn't negatively impact somebody else that's the key thing obviously there's lines right like if you're really into really strange things that harm others then absolutely that is a wrong place to be you guys probably can imagine the things that I'm referencing there but unless it harms somebody else there's no real reason to be ashamed about what you're into I don't care if it's one piece and people want to make fun of you for being into anime I don't care if you're really into the Ninja Turtles still say you're 50 years old and you just freaking love the Ninja Turtles and you have Ninja Turtle collectibles everywhere and you're wearing Ninja Turtles be proud of what you're into the reality is we're going to be bullied our entire lives for the things we're into and as Nintendo fans I can tell you I have taken a lot of heat I took a lot of heat as a kid I got duct tape to the bottom of a bench one time being called a nerd being called all sorts of names because I was into Nintendo why aren't you playing the superior PlayStation blah blah blah and it's partially why I get so upset at times when I see some of these console wars happening online because console wars really is just a bunch of bullying like if we really think about it the companies are competing for market position and you can understand some of the you know Sega does what Nintendo marketing and all that but when fans like go at each other it literally I'm watching it unfold in front of me and it looks just like a I don't even know it it just looks like bully trying to like get people to mentally submit to your ideas and oftentimes even if they did like let's say there's a spider-man to Sony fan or a horizon fan arguing with a Zelda fan from Nintendo and they're going back and forth and then the Zelda fan at one point concedes that hey yeah horizon actually is pretty good I finally played it and and you know maybe I do like it a little bit better than the Zelda game I recently played you know what the Sony fan and this isn't all of them this this is just a particular crowd of them sometimes does after that they laugh they'll laugh at the individual for finally admitting the other person might be right in in the game preference and they'll laugh at them for agreeing because haha was right the whole time haha we have this incessant need to always be right I'm just as guilty by the way go ahead and ask Jake Randall sometime about that I'm just I'm just as guilty of wanting to be right and having a hard time recognizing that you're wrong stubbornness you know no one likes to be wrong it's not it's not a fun feeling I just want to let you know it's okay you know my community is here for you I think fellow you know you're gonna find a lot of online communities that are here for you you're not to be able to do much about the in real life stuff just be proud of it just be proud you don't need to antagonize I'm not one of those people that believes in that you're being antagonized so antagonize them back be the bigger person because of all of us start being the bigger person slowly and slowly and slowly this stuff will become less and less common because now that older gentleman who is making fun of me someday I'm gonna be that older gentleman and I'm not gonna be at Costco at Sam's Club at some grocery store making fun of others because I remember what it was like to be made fun of we can be the ones that make the difference we can be that gent that next generation that trickles it down to the ones below us to let them know it's not okay it's just not thank you so much for being here I am Nathan a Rover Jans from Nintendo Prime we'll catch you in the next video

Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen, I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and today is Saturday, so it's grocery haul day. But today is not only a massive grocery haul, it's a special haul because we are talking all things fall, all things pumpkin. I went to three stores this week and scooped up everything pumpkin related. So if you're excited, give this video a big thumbs up, subscribe if you're not, turn your bell on because I upload a grocery haul every Saturday in five videos every single week. Check out the description box down below where you will find nutrition coaching, highly highly highly recommend personalized macros and calories. This is how I myself have lost and maintained a hundred and forty pound weight loss as well as one-on-one coaching for accountability to ask questions or talk with me directly. Links, discounts to my favorite things and my Facebook group, come join us there, are all down in that description box. So let's jump into this pumpkin palooza haul. So here is my massive, massive Trader Joe's haul. I got a lot. I pretty much bought everything I could find. That was fall and pumpkin, some of my favorite things, some new things to try. If you're interested in pumpkin items or fall items from Trader Joe's, she said that everything is in store. So if you want it, grab it because none of it lasts very long. So I made a trip all the way in two Trader Joe's 45 minutes each way so that I could share with you all my good fall fine. So let's jump in. So the first thing I picked up is my unsweetened applesauce. This is my favorite unsweetened applesauce. It's organic, super, super affordable. I sub oil in recipes with applesauce. It works perfectly. And then it also makes a really good snack. And then they did have their seasonal little candles. They had the harvest apple and the vanilla pumpkin. I smelt them both and I think this one smells a lot better. The pumpkin went to me, didn't have a lot of scent. And sometimes the throw on these isn't that great. And this one definitely smelled like juicy apples. I did pick up the organic corn chips for Troy. He is eating those dips that we got from Daisy for free in a couple grocery hauls back. He's been using those and he asked about corn chips. So I picked these up. These are our all time favorite corn chips. And speaking of chips, this is my all time favorite. These are the Cascio Pepe Puffs. So it's cheese and pepper corn snacks. Kind of like Pirates Booty a little bit or like a mix between that and a Cheeto but it has this pepper seasoning. It's so good. I only got one bag because I love them that much. I didn't want to overdo it. So one bag. I did grab one can of pumpkin. She said people will order this by the case. It's a really good price and it's organic. And you know, I've been doing a lot of pumpkin recipes. And then I also picked up two cans of their sliced olives. Olives are so expensive and Trader Joe's is a pretty good price. $1.69 a can. I was paying $4 for the large can at my Kroger store. So I did grab two small cans. Pick this up as a side dish for us. The lady who checked me out at Trader Joe's said this is her favorite pumpkin thing that comes in. She just cooks it up in a little bit of butter and kind of makes like a brown butter sauce. It gets nice and crispy. This is the Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravi Oli. And she said she pairs this with a protein like chicken or steak. So we're gonna do this as a side dish. I definitely had to grab it of course because it is a pumpkin. And then cheese, I always stock up my favorite cheeses. So I have the light shredded mozzarella, the light Mexican style blend and then my Yarlsburg light Swiss. This is my favorite Swiss cheese. It's only 50 calories per slice. And it's delicious. And I can't find it anywhere other than Trader Joe's. So I went ahead and picked that up. These are some new protein bars. I've never seen these before and they have them at Trader Joe's. So I grabbed one of each of the flavors. This is from the brand Misfits. And these are plant-powered protein bars. 15 grams of protein, about 170, 180 calories. This one is chocolate caramel and this one is chocolate cookie butter. Both sound really, really good. I'm gonna take those with me when I go to Hawaii here in another week or so. And then Troy wanted a salad, a pasta salad. They didn't really have anything but they did have their old fashioned potato salad. So I grabbed that for him so that it's a quick, easy lunch or side dish. This is my all-time favorite kombucha. I haven't been drinking kombucha as much as I should. The fermentation and probiotics in kombucha is really good for your gut. And this is my all-time favorite flavor. This is the living in gratitude. So it's apple, turmeric, carrot and spices. It's so good. So I picked up two bottles. I usually drink about a half of a bottle at a time. And then Trader Joe's spices, best price you can find. So I did grab the organic cinnamon because I was almost out of cinnamon. And then the pumpkin pie spice, of course. And garlic. And then my favorite is the uninsult. I use this every time I make eggs.  I did grab some mums because they're beautiful and they give me all the fall feelings. So these were 4.99 and mums will literally last weeks. So I picked those up. And then these are open and these are delicious. These are the mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups. I had a couple of these on my way home. They're super good. You can have 21 of them for the points and calories. And they're really good. They taste just like little mini Reese's. I had like four or five of them and it totally satisfied a sweet tooth. And then this is something I always buy at Trader Joe's. This is the organic unsweetened flaked coconuts. I like this on my yogurt bowls. I like this topped smoothies or protein shakes. And there's no added sugar to this. So if you have a recipe that calls for coconut, this is a good alternative just because there's no added sugar. And then I grabbed the fall leaf tortilla chips. It actually picks up two bags. So Thanksgiving last year, my mother-in-law really, really liked these. And my in-laws never go to Trader Joe's because it's in Tucson and they never go to Tucson. So I picked her up a bag as well and we're gonna give her that when Troy sees his dad tomorrow. And then I picked up a bag of the fall leaf chips for myself as well. My favorite sesame oil, hands down, is the one from Trader Joe's. This is the organic sesame oil. I was waiting to go to Trader Joe's to restock my oil.  I himmed and hot about these, put them back, grab them, put them back, grab them. And then I thought, you know what, let's get these because this would be really good. Topped a pumpkin yogurt or even a yogurt bowl. So these are the pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds. And the macros weren't much different than regular roasted pumpkin seeds and they're seasonal. So I thought that I would pick them up. I typically put like a tablespoon on top and it gives a nice crunch. And pumpkin seeds are actually really good for you. Two bags of their seasonal dog treats. These are the pumpkin maple bacon flavored stuffies. So I did grab two bags. They had their pumpkin dog biscuits, which Lola likes, but Palmer doesn't really like crunchy treats. So I didn't get those. I just got these soft ones. And then I got one of my favorite pumpkin things and that's the pumpkin biscotti. I love this dipped in my coffee. It is so good. I love biscotti in general, but the pumpkin one just has the perfect fall flavors. And then this is another thing along with the ginger that I usually get. I didn't see the ginger. I didn't have it, but they did have the soft and juicy mango. I'm going to save one of these bags to take with me to Hawaii. And then I got a second one for snacking. I count this as zero points because it has the same macros as regular mango. So I don't count it, but it's a good fruit option. And it's a dried fruit and it is so good. I also grabbed pumpkin waffles because they're pumpkin. And we got these last year and they are super good. Bulture and I like a good frozen waffle sometimes for breakfast. And then of course I had to get the pumpkin JoJo's, which is Trader Joe's version of the pumpkin Oreos, but they're way better. I bought the pumpkin Oreos at Target and they were good, but the pumpkin JoJo's from Trader Joe's I think are way, way better. And then I grabbed the fall harvest salsa to go with those tortilla chips so that we could have chips and salsa one night. This sounds so good. It has pumpkin apples and butternut squash. So I thought that was interesting for a salsa and it is mild, so it shouldn't be too spicy. And then I also grabbed the mild pico de gallo just so we had a couple different salsa options. Trader Joe's is one of the only places that I can find fat-free feta and I love feta cheese, especially on my eggs and on my salad. So I did pick that up. And then I got hemp seeds because I've been buying them in bulk at Sprouts and they're just a way better deal at Trader Joe's. $6.50 for this bag. And I put hemp seeds on my yogurt bowl every single day. And did you know that you can give hemp seeds to your dogs? I guess it's supposed to be a really good, healthy fat for them and source of protein. Like you can sprinkle it on their food. So I may try that, but I love having these on my yogurt bowl. And then my other all-time favorite thing besides the biscotti is the pumpkin cream cheese. I'm obsessed with the pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's. I actually bought two of them. I like these on a bagel. So I use the Western bagel. Spoiler alert, their pumpkin ones are coming out. So stay tuned, I'll share those in a video. I like pumpkin bagels with pumpkin cream cheese or I'll do the plain Western bagels, the alternative ones with pumpkin cream cheese. So of course I picked up two. I also really like these crackers. These are the pumpkin cranberry crisps. By the way, these crackers with this cream cheese, really good. If you want kind of a decadent, crunchy, sweet snack, these are delicious. They have pumpkin and cranberry in this little crisp bread. So they're really, really hard and crispy. You actually can have 11 crackers for 80 calories. So it's a super low calorie snack. I have never tried this. This is the overnight oats and they had it in pumpkin. So I had to get it to try. It's 200 calories, which seems like a lot for this little thing of oats, but I may actually pop in some added protein. I just thought that this would be good as a breakfast post workout. And since it was pumpkin, I had to try it. And then speaking of pumpkin, I cannot find pumpkin yogurt anywhere. I have looked at every store. I've tried a handful of stores, at least half a dozen can't find it, but Trader Joe's had their Greek non-fat pumpkin yogurt. I actually really liked this. It's 130 calories, 13 grams of protein. So I picked up four. They were only 99 cents a piece, which is really, really good. Lots of frozen things. That's one of my favorite sections of Trader Joe's. I grabbed the tater tots. Just as a side, we could throw this in the air fryer. I've actually never had the Trader Joe's tater tots. And then I grabbed the chicken fried rice Troy, really likes this. It makes a super easy dinner. And then this is my favorite frozen fruit from there. These are the pitted dark sweet cherries. I love this with the clean, simple eats cola protein powder. It tastes like a cherry Coke. It's so good. So I grabbed those.  These make a really, really good fried dish. And you can have four of them for only 130 calories. I like to throw those in the air fryer. And then this is a new thing. These are beef tamales. I got those for Troy. He likes tamales. And I thought that he could try out the Trader Joe's. And then Cascio de Pepe. This is a spaghetti pasta with that same pepper that is in these chips, but just in a pasta form. We like to have these on hand for side dishes. It makes it really easy, just a veggie, a protein. And then you simply throw this in a pan with some water and you have a side dish. So we grabbed that. And the fettuccine Alfredo, which is Troy's favorite. There's a red sauce one that he likes too, but I couldn't find that one. So I did grab the Alfredo.  These are great to throw in the crock pot with a pot roast, or to throw in the air fryer. I did grab some lettuce for salads, romaine and chicory blend. And then some baby cucumbers. These are so cute. These are organic version cucumbers. You guys know how much we love cucumbers.  That is one thing I hate cutting up with a passion is watermelon, so I like to buy it pre-cut, ready to go. And then I did get a delicata squash. I love delicata squash. You just roast this in the oven. Maybe I'll save this and share it with you guys into what I eat in a day because it is such a good side dish. And it's really, really easy to prepare.  This smells amazing. I'm going to put this in my car. It smells like cinnamon. I mean, very strong cinnamon. They had a big one as well that people often put on their porch or in their living space so that it smells like cinnamon. But I thought this was super cute for my car. So that's everything.  So let's go ahead and jump in to the rest of the grocery haul. So here is the rest of my massive grocery haul, all pumpkin, all fall inspired from both Sprouts and my local fry store, which is a Kroger store. So let's jump into Sprouts. So I went ahead and picked up two packs of raspberries. These were two for five, which is a really good deal. I like having raspberries on my yogurt bowls a lot or if I have oatmeal. So I always like to have some type of berry, not to mention raspberries are packed with fiber. And then I grabbed a couple of onions for some recipes, as well as some baby spinach for recipes and also as an addition to salad, carrots and celery. This is for a dinner recipe this next week. And then they did have their pineapple chunks and their cantaloupe chunks reduced. I like to put pineapple on my cottage cheese. So I picked that up and then the cut up pineapple chunk. So I picked up my favorite crackers because they were actually on sale for 3.99 and then there was a dollar off coupon. So 2.99, which is amazing. These are the Chetties. I got the white cheddar, which I've never tried. And then my favorite is just the traditional classic sea salt. These are kind of like cheez-its, but they actually have protein in them and really, really good ingredients. So I grabbed those. And then for pumpkin, I really just shopped the whole pumpkin area at Sprouts. They have the Pumpkin Spice Clio Greek Yogurt Bars. I love these, nine grams of protein, really, really good snack. In fact, the lady who was checking me out said that she loves these. She said it feels like a dessert and she's getting in some Greek yogurt and some protein. These were on sale, so I picked up two.  You guys know the Chobani Zero Sugar is my all time favorite and I have not been able to find the pumpkin spice anywhere and finally Sprouts had it. They were $2.33, so I picked up six. And then I also got the Clifia Farms Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer. You know, I've been doing a lot of my cold brew at home and I'm out of my pumpkin spice creamer for my pumpkin cold brew. So I did get the Clifia Farms Pumpkin Spice. And then these right here, I tried these at the nutrition conference I went to in California. These are incredible. If you like the Trader Joe's Bombas, that's kind of what these are like, but I think they're better. Cracked it from simple and nutritious ingredients, navy beans, rice and peanuts and they actually have protein, 130 calories and five grams of protein per serving. And I was actually going to go order these online after the conference and they were really expensive and Sprouts had them for $2.99 a bag. They had barbecue, jalapeno.  I just grabbed the peanut butter. These Sprouts white meat shredded chicken. This is always something I pick up. I actually need shredded chicken for a recipe and this is super convenient. And then my roar waters were actually on sale too for four. So I grabbed a cucumber watermelon and the Georgia peach. These are probably my two favorite flavors and they're just a really good post-workout supplement drink with lots of electrolytes and vitamins. And then lastly, I stopped by the volt section because we have a lake day for my boot camp group this Saturday. We're spending the entire day at a lake in Arizona and we're supposed to be bringing food to share. So I'm making little sandwiches. I'll show you those in my Kroger Hall. And then I'm making a Halloween mix that has cereal and candy corn and nuts and all sorts of good stuff. So I did grab the mini peanut butter cups from the bulk section for that mix. I also needed salted peanuts and then chopped pecans. This is for another recipe video. And then of course you could add this to that little Halloween mix as well. So that is everything from Sprouts. Let's jump into fries or the Kroger store. So the first thing is two gallons of skim milk for Troy. We always pick up a couple gallons every week. And then I stopped by the reduced bakery aisle. They didn't have as much as normal, but I did grab these. This is interesting that you can buy half of a pie. This is the peach praline pie and these were 50% off. So it ended up being about $3. And then this one sounds amazing. This is an apple pie, also $3. So I picked those up for that Halloween mix. I needed mini pretzels and bugles. So those are some of the crunch that's in the mix. I also stopped by the meat section and found ground beef for $3.79 a pound. This is the Simple Truth Organic. Really, really good price.  Definitely check your reduced meat section. Either cook it right away or freeze it. You can just save a ton of money. And then I was gonna get the Hawaiian slider rolls for my boot camp late day. And then I saw these in the reduced bakery section. These ended up being $2 a pack, which was cheaper than one pack of Hawaiian rolls. And I'll make 16 little sandwiches for boot camp. So I'm bringing little sandwiches and the Halloween mix. I also needed Cheerios and rice checks for that mix. And then whatever's left over, Tori will eat cereal. I was excited to see this. Skinny dipped almonds pumpkin spice. I am heading to Hawaii here in less than a week. And I'm gonna take these with me. I love the skinny dipped almonds. 140 calories, three grams of protein per serving. And they're really, really delicious. I've never tried the pumpkin spice, so I'm super excited. And then I did pick up a can of pumpkin for a few recipes coming up this next week. I was out of chili powder, so I restocked my chili powder. And then I saw a recipe on TikTok, which we're gonna try out in the next, what I eat in a day, making homemade chicken nuggets in your air fryer, low carb. There's no breading or anything, and it's using canned chicken. So I only bought one can because if I like it, I'll stock up next time I go to Costco or Sam's. But we're gonna try that recipe out. I'm super excited for that. I got some one third less fat cream cheese. This is for a recipe. Also some white chocolate chips. I think I'm going to throw these in that Halloween mix just for some added color. It actually calls for the little candy eyeballs. I couldn't find those while I found them at Fry's, but they were really expensive for just a handful.  And then I grabbed some candy corn that is also in that Halloween mixture. I have a recipe that calls for chicken broth. So I picked up bone broth instead just for the added protein. Actually nine grams of protein per serving and chicken broth has zero. So this is just a good alternative to up the protein and any recipe that calls for chicken or beef broth. And then some more cottage cheese. This was still on sale for $3.79. I saw it sprouts for $5.79. So a much, much better deal at Kroger stores. I grabbed Troyalofa of his bread. This is the Dave's killer bread, white done right. And then I wanted some plain whipped cream. I still have the flavored ones from Target. I put these on my yogurt bowls, my protein pudding, my ninja ice cream, fruit. Sometimes I do fruit and whipped cream for dessert. So I picked up just some traditional whipped cream. I did grab some deli ham and deli turkey. This is for the little sandwiches for the lake day with my boot camp group. And then some red potato salad with egg for Troy. Really, really good deal on that. And besides the Diet Coke and Gatorade Zero in the garage, I also grabbed some peaches. We've been on a big peaches kit and these were on sale for 88 cents a pound. So that is the rest of this big grocery haul. All things pumpkin fall. Let's go ahead and jump into what's for dinner and what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. So here's what's on my menu for the week. So today's Saturday, of course, out to dinner. Tomorrow we are going to do a pizza night. Monday I'm going to make Baja Tacos. Tuesday's leftovers. Wednesday is a fried rice with chicken. And then Thursday and Friday will be leftovers. I am leaving for Hawaii on Friday. So Troy will eat any leftovers. And what you'll see in Monday's meal prep, I'm doing a fall pumpkin meal prep. Everything is fall, everything is pumpkin. So for breakfast, we're doing actually a pumpkin chai muffin. So excited for that. Lunch, we're doing pumpkin pasta with walnuts and spinach. Also sounds amazing. And then for dessert, we're making these delicious pumpkin pie bars. So stay tuned for all three recipes in Monday's meal prep. Thank you for joining me for today's massive pumpkin palooza grocery haul. I am so excited about everything pumpkin. I love it, I love it, I love it. I'm so glad I was able to make it to Trader Joe's Sprout and Kroger this week. If you enjoyed the grocery haul, give it a thumbs up, subscribe, turn your bell on so you never miss a future video. Don't forget to check out the description box for nutrition coaching, links and discounts to my favorite things. And of course, come join our Facebook group. We'd love to have you. Let me know down below, which of these pumpkin items are you picking up? And I'll see you next time. Bye.


Coming up on DTNS, Scott Johnson interprets Microsoft's cryptic promise to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. What could it mean? Dr. Nicky puts the big advance in nuclear fusion in context for us. And we have new Samsung phones. And the note, well, the note's in a better place than it used to be. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, February 9th, 2022 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Red, and I'm Sarah Lane. And from Salt Lake City, I'm Scott Johnson. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. Hey, we've got more. If you like this show and you're like, but I don't want it to end, get good day internet. It's a it's this and more at patreon.com slash DTNS. Big thanks to our top patrons today. They include Brad, Kevin and Paul Thiessen. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Instagram began rolling out the ability to bulk, delete or archive posts or stories or IGTV and also reels. This will be included in a new Your Activity section in user profiles, which will allow users to sort and then filter content and comments by date, as well as search comments and messages from a single location. In a recent web log posting, Google said account compromises were half as likely on accounts with two step verification compared to password only accounts. Makes sense. In Q4 2021, Google started automatically enrolling more than 150 million accounts in two step verification. This kind of forced it on people and Google says it will continue doing so into 2022. The Wall Street Journal reports that Fiji, the country of Fiji, says a team of SpaceX's Starlink employees are working to bring connectivity to Tonga, which was devastated by a volcano back on January 15th. That is nice. However, got a little tougher because SpaceX announced that 80% of the 49 Starlink satellites it launched just last week experienced significant impact by a geomagnetic storm, which resulted in 50% higher atmospheric drag levels, making it harder for the satellites to reach orbital position. You might say, OK, well, how bad was it? Company estimates that up to 40 of the 49 satellites will now burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Wow, that's a lot of them. Still got the nine, though. It's nearly all of them. Yeah, the nine are going to have to carry a big load now. Top nine. Bloomberg sources say Microsoft is in discussions to acquire the security research company, Mandiant. This comes as Microsoft continues to grow its security business, which reported 15 billion in revenue in 2021. That was already up 45% on the year. The Japanese silicon wafer maker, Sumco, reports it's already sold out its production capacity for 300 millimeter wafers through 2026. Chipmakers use these wafers for chips. Chipmakers want these wafers for chips. The company didn't take long-term orders for smaller 150 millimeter and 200 millimeter wafers, but expects demand to surpass supply for years to come. The company said it wouldn't be able to expand production at all in 2022 either. 2021 saw wafer prices increase 10% on the year, and Sumco expects this to continue until at least 2024. Yeah, and the profit margins are no longer wafer thin. All right, let's talk about Samsung's big announcement. Samsung announced all the things that everybody leaked, but here they are, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which Samsung itself referred to as powered by Note. So if you missed the Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung wants you to think of the S22 Ultra as the new Note. And I got to say, they're pretty convincing about it. The S22 Ultra is a 6.8 inch, 120 Hertz display with S Pen included, and up to a terabyte of storage. That S Pen has brought the latency down from 9 milliseconds to 2.8 milliseconds. The S22 Ultra starts with the 128 gigabyte model. You don't get the terabyte at this price, but it starts at 1,199 shipping February 25th. So that's the end of the note, right? Hold on, and Gadget's Sherilyn Lowe, friend of the show, says Samsung's vice president of product management, Drew Blackard, told in Gadget, quote, there's not going to be a new product in the current portfolio with Note in its name. So you're saying there's a chance. Actually, he said more than that. He added, I can't be clear enough. This is just an evolution of Note for us. It's not the end of the Note. It just happens there's not a device called Note right now. But then he went back to saying that the S22 Ultra was the device for Note users, pointing out that Note features are in lots of Samsung devices. It's in the S22 Ultra, and it's in the Tab S8. The real Galaxy Note is inside of all of us, I guess. OK, as for the rest of the unpacked announcements, Samsung also announced the slightly less note like 6.1 inch S22, starting at 800 bucks and the 6.6 inch S22 plus, starting at $1,000, both of those also shipping, February 25th. We can go through all the specs. They're impressive. These are great specs. These are flagship level specs. It's got a good set of Galaxy phones here. They're also new tablets, the 14.6 inch, big one. Tab S8 Ultra with 120 Hertz display and 16 gigs of RAM starting at $1,100. There's a $700 Tab S8 and a $900 Tab S8 plus. All of them shipping later this month. All of them with Android. So if you're an Android tablet lover, here you go. These are good versions of that. Finally, Samsung one-upped Pixel by promising four years of Android OS and Samsung One UI updates, not just for the S22 models, not just for the new Tab S8 tablets, but also retroactive to the S21, Fold 3, and Flip 3 as well. That's still one year short of what iOS users get, but we're getting closer at four years for full OS. We're not just talking security updates here. We're talking full Android OS. Honestly, I kind of feel like that's the biggest announcement of the day. Yeah, like beating out the Pixel by a full year seems like a pretty significant thing in terms of support. I'm super interested. It's maybe obvious and everyone new Scott would bring this up, but I'm really interested in that pen and how it performs on 120 Hertz screen. The one big advantage Apple has had with the iPad and the Pencil 2 in particular is extremely low latency performance as compared to its competitors across the board, Microsoft Surface, Android tablets of all kinds, even Waycom tablets, this sort of thing. And this sounds like this brings up much closer or right in line with that kind of performance, which may mean a bit of a boon for those devices, not so much the phones. I mean, it would perform well on the phones, but those looking for larger surface device for drawing or whatever, professionally or amateurish, whatever, this seems like a much faster pen. So that's the thing that jumped out at me. I went, oh, good. Finally, somebody else is getting close to the mark on the latency I need. When it comes to that note nomenclature or lack thereof. I mean, the note nomenclature? That too. Yes, good one. It's a wordal score somewhere in a future life. My baby is quite wordal today, too. Oh, yeah. I had a hard time. Five out of six. But yeah, the whole kind of powered by note thing and the company saying, well, hold on a second. Everything that you love about previous note devices are just better in these devices. They're just not called note, but they're powered by note, which leads me to believe that the next time we've got a big product announcement from Samsung, note will not be mentioned ever again. Yeah. I get the sense that they might just start using note with every product, right? That would be the other direction they could go. But what is note then? What is powering it? Note starts what they might try to do is use note to apply to the note taking, to the features that made the note different. Because screen size, 5,000 milliamp hour battery, 45 watt fast charge, using Glass Victus Plus, Gorilla Glass Victus Plus. You could put those in a note and call it a note, but how much different is it really at that size, right? That was the one thing that made the note was the size. The other thing was the pen. They put the pen in there. So now it's just the features. Well, as long as the features are there, you can call the features note features and say they're in the flip. They're in the fold. They're in the tab. The note is everywhere. I wonder if Samsung will try to do some sort of subscription based note service. Note plus subscription service. Yeah, powered by note. That's kind of genius, right? Like, you get the note features in everything. But if you want cloud storage NFTs, I don't know. If you're a Scott-type power user. Right, right. Well, the name note, the word or name note had some marketing, you know, cache for them. People liked it. People were super into the note line. And I think people are just feeling this feeling of like, oh, my favorite line is going away. But really it isn't. It's still there. It's just built into the main line now and they don't have to call it notes anymore. There's no distinction because screens have gotten bigger. Pins have gotten better. Like, it all became the note anyway. So really, aren't we only losing just a, we're just losing a tagline. That's it. I guess if you have a certain amount of brand loyalty, though, and you're excited about the future of that brand, and all of a sudden it's like, oh, well, these are cool new devices, but what happened to my brand? I could see where people would get bummed out about it. I don't know. I can't really think of a comparison if Apple says we're not calling it the iPhone anymore. It's now the blurby bot. I'd be like, OK, is it still work? I think that is why you see them doing this dance of saying, oh, the note's not gone. The note's inside of us all because they want that person who's just brand loyal to be like, yeah, but you're getting the note. It's just it's in there. It's maybe called the S22. I wouldn't be shocked if they had a Samsung Galaxy fold note which had a pen, S-Pen, special S-Pen with it because I think you get the pen already. I wouldn't be shocked if you're right, Sarah, where it's like, this is it. They just never refer to the note again. But I also, I think they could go the other way and just try to say, everything is the note. You like the note? Well, we've got 20 products that are. They're all powered by note. They're powered by note. Ooh, there you go. That's how he described it to engage it. Yeah, I didn't make that up. Or no, actually, I think that was in the actual announcement. Not even. Scott was very clever. I was just like, well, meaning if they do that, then they've done what we're asking. They've kept the brand, but they've moved on. And what else can you do? I always thought, just for the record, I always thought that the note indicated. I know there was a lot of annotation. You got the pen kind of stuff. But it sounded to me to note bookie, unless a powerful device that does lots of other things. And so maybe the company felt the same way. Could be. It all started to converge. Speaking of convergence, let's talk about Brad Smith. You've heard of him before. He's Microsoft president, one of them. And his open is often rather the bear of popular news. People kind of like this, guys. Sometimes it's fighting against government surveillance for responsible AI, which there was a big post about that not that long ago. Also maybe arguing for regulated facial recognition or regulating facial recognition in our country or the world. So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that Brad Smith wrote a blog post up on Wednesday. That's today calling, or basically called this, adapting ahead of regulation a principled approach to app stores, unquote. Pretty interesting. This latest post is specifically aimed at concerns over Microsoft's pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard and all of the concerns it'll have and faces it seeks regulatory approval. The book of the post was or is about a set of principles guiding Microsoft's app store that are in line with pending and enacted legislation in the United States, the European Union and Netherlands and South Korea. It's a long explanation about choice, accountability, transparency and safety. And specifically says Microsoft won't for a payment system or won't for a payment system. Not sure what we meant there. Although these principles don't apply to the Xbox because the consoles are generally exempted from new legislation. So fine, Brad Smith knows what you really wanna hear. So after a long explanation of those principles, he also wrote this, quote, Microsoft will continue to make call of duty and other popular Activision Blizzard titles available on PlayStation through the term of any existing agreement with Activision. That's a key point there. And we have committed to Sony that we will also make them available on PlayStation beyond the existing agreement and into the future so that Sony fans can continue to enjoy their games they love. We also, or we are also interested in talking similar steps or taking similar steps to support Nintendo's successful platform. So Brad Smith is saying basically, hey everybody, you thought when we used our kind of a nebulous language about what call of duty would do after this acquisition, I'd like to clarify and say we plan on continuing to support that game in somewhat perpetuity as best they can commit to on competing platforms. And here's my quick take on that. I 100% thought this is what they're gonna do anyway because to spend the amount of money, call of duty being a big part of that money for Activision Blizzard King, they had to have intended to continue forward making it multi-platform or as available as possible on other platforms. To not do that would be to limit the already valuable revenue generation that is the call of duty franchise. That really would be cutting yourself off at the foot. I think their bigger problem right now is that call of duty is a little stale and the current version that came out this year or last year in the holidays, nobody likes, nobody's a fan of the current one, but it still makes tons of money and it's still the biggest shooter franchise on the planet. So if they were gonna buy that and then immediately cut off that chunk that would go to PlayStation or would go other places, it would have been a huge mistake. So I'm not surprised A that they're clarifying this or that Brad is and B that this was always the plan because they'd like money, they want that revenue. It's why it's valuable. So this goes with what you were saying last week on DTNS that the coming war isn't about consoles anymore. It's not about like, let's sell the console as a lost leader to make money off of games. It's just about selling the games on a platform. You wanna own the platform that the game is on and the platform is no longer hardware, the platform is a service of some kind. So I think Microsoft is coming around to, hey, if we sell Call of Duty on PlayStation's platform, we make money like you're saying and that's good. Yeah, they already do this with, for example, they do it with Steam. So if I wanna go play Halo Infinite, the big hallmark release from Microsoft in the last six months, I can get it on Game Pass on my Xbox. I can get it on PC with Game Pass for PC. I can pay for it outright on either of those two services that I just mentioned, if I don't wanna do the monthly thing. And alternatively, I can run over to Steam and say, oh, I'll just buy it here because I buy everything on Steam and spend the 60 bucks. In a way, they're having their cake and eating it too because they have this interim period of let's sell it the way things are currently sold with an eye to the way things will be sold. And that eye to the way things will be sold perhaps will be games as a service and will perhaps be all subscription one day. Who knows? That's what they're positioning themselves as. But they're being consistent right now of saying, we're not in this for the war on the consoles and we don't care about the hardware so much as we do, you getting the game where you want it, when you want it and hopefully paying us money for it in some way or another. And the interim, it's gonna be fine to spend 60 to 70 bucks over at PlayStation and they don't lose by doing that. Any more than Sony loses by having their own developed version of the MLB the show game published on Game Pass which is currently the truth is happening. It's the first time Xbox has had that game from that series. So to me, it makes perfect sense to me. Little crisis comms going on too, right? Microsoft knows that not everybody's excited about its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. And so that's, it's sort of nothing's changing.  Don't y'all worry that might not be true. I think Scott was making this point earlier when Brad Smith writes something, it's because he wants the government to listen. It's always good news for everyone but AI regulation, facial recognition regulation, government surveillance. This is very much, hey regulators, we're gonna play nice. I know Nvidia said they were gonna play nice and you didn't approve that one but we really mean it. And as Scott Johnson has said, it's in our best interest to play nice. Yeah, also there was clarification was needed here. They needed to get out after the aftermath of the announcement and things calmed down. Everybody's like, no, wait a minute, what about these details? When we start thinking of the stuff that wasn't in the initial press releases or in the initial information. And because we didn't get that then we're asking it now. This is him getting out in front of that and saying, look, here's what we're doing and here's our reasons for doing it. I want clarity on this so that when you guys all start asking questions, there's nothing weird going on. And Microsoft knows what it's like to get questions when something weird's going on.  What they've been telling us for a couple of years now, everything they've done with this Activision announcement so far has been consistent with that. Cause your point, Sarah, you get Phil Spencer to go talk to Eurogamer about this if you just want to get the gamers to feel good about it. You get Brad Smith to post about it on his blog, his official Microsoft blog if you want the regulators to also take notice. Well put. Hey folks, what do you want to hear us talk about on the show? You like these stories? Sure, we know you do cause we found a lot of these on the subreddit. Keep it coming, submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. In 2017, Bloomberg sources reported a reference to something called ROS, the letter ROS in Apple code. In 2019, they found a reference that confirmed that that stood for reality cause there was a reference to reality OS in some pre-release builds of iOS 13. And then this week, the year of our Lord, 2022, developer Renz Verhoeven found a reference to reality OS in the App Store upload logs. Now that could have just been somebody developer messing around. So Steve Trout and Smith followed up and found references to reality OS in a GitHub repo meaning it wasn't just a stray reference but something that has its own binaries and a simulator. However, Trout and Smith said still could be a remnant of somebody's poll request from a fake account or something but add to that the fact that Ming-Chi Kuo has said he believes an augmented reality or mixed reality headset is coming from Apple in Q4 and that it would have the same computing power as an M1 Mac that would jive with something needing its own OS variant. Quo also has said that Apple has already started to work on the second generation of a mixed reality headset. So that leaves us wondering is it called reality OS or is that just a code name? Well, the verges Tom Warren points out that Mark Gurman said on January 2nd that his sources said the code name for the mixed reality OS was Oak. So maybe reality OS is the final name. Although keep in mind Gurman and colleagues at Bloomberg also have reported the headset won't come until 2023 but maybe that's the one Quo's talking about that's the second generation. Anyway, like the Batman, I have taken all of this, fitted it together like a detective, if we fit all the facts together a plausible scenario that fits all the facts might be Apple announces reality OS at WWDC in June with a first gen for developers at that point that fits the in 2022. Then later maybe out of maybe spring 2023 they announced a consumer version and that like Gurman thinks would go on sale in 2023. You know, this is a really, it's sort of a backwards way that I thought that this was all rolling out and I know we're just speculating here. Reality OS is actually a pretty good name. I mean, it's certainly descriptive kind of long but it makes sense. Perfectly pretentiously Apple to say reality runs on our hop.  But also the idea that at WWDC and this has been debated quite a bit as you know is the AR headset gonna be unveiled. There apparently are supply chain issues and there's power heating issues and this all might get pushed later. But if the, you know, again at a developers conference if the whole idea of like third party developers we got, this is what we got, get on board ready to join the revolution when reality OS, the hardware, you know hits the streets in early 2023 then you get some momentum there. And that might be how Apple can push things a bit when it's on timeline. I agree. I think you're both correct about the timeline. I think this all lines up. It also lines up with, I don't know I spent a lot of time VR in the last couple of weeks talking to people at Metta and some others and I'm convinced that big competition is coming and coming sooner than everyone will admit. And I think they're one of them certainly Apple's one of them and a big one at that. It's weird to me that the thing that makes me most excited here is knowing that it will be the equivalent in power and capability as an M1 Mac. That's a big deal because those M1s have surprised me and I know many others but they've been really, really good and powerful. My Mac Mini is doing things. I used to use a power Mac that costs four times as much money to do and it's doing it easily. I feel like I'm overpowered at the moment and I've not felt that way about an Apple computer in a very long time. So knowing that those headsets are gonna probably use that core technology is weirdly exciting to me. But yeah, it sounds good. It's better than ROS. I think it was Roger Prichot said it sounds like Ross and that's no good. We don't want Ross. We want reality EOS. Rachel, we want. Well, we don't call it like EOS either. No, we don't. But that's also three characters so it's a little bit easier. I don't know. It does sort of confirm maybe not really but sort of confirms that it's probably it would have been easy like TVOS to call it VROS but this is more than VR. It's mixed reality. It's AR. It's augmented reality. It's these other things. So I feel like it's them then using the word reality. What if it was like VAROS and then you could act like a pirate and say RAR. RAROS, that's pretty good. I was thinking mixed reality could be MROS, Mr. OS. Oh, that's not bad. Yeah, well, you know, Tom, maybe a little exclusionary. Yeah, you don't want to gender the OS. That's true. That's true. Don't do that. Well, G-Pag84 says whatever they do, they have to use back to life, back to reality as the song they introduced. Please do it. Please do it. Great song. Whatever you want. Okay, so there was a really big advance in nuclear fusion. You may have missed the story. Luckily for you, our science correspondent, Dr. Nicker Ackermanns is going to explain a little bit what it might mean for all of our future. Nuclear fusion would solve a lot of things if we could get it to work. It fuses atoms to provide energy with zero emissions in nearly unlimited amounts and only creates small amounts of short-lived radioactive waste products unlike nuclear fission, which we're using right now and may even be powering this podcast. We know it can work because it's what fuels the sun. It's, however, slightly impractical because fusing atoms together makes things very, very hot, melting anything that comes near and that's why scientists have been working on a way to control and harness nuclear fusion energy for decades. Until now, researchers haven't been able to keep the reaction stable for more than a second and it usually takes more energy to fuel these reactions than the amount of energy that the reactions actually produced. There has, however, been some advancement. UK-based Jet Laboratory says it broke down the world record for the amount of energy that can be extracted by fusing two forms of hydrogen. The record output produced 59 megajoules of energy or 11 megawatts of power for over five seconds. That's just enough to boil 60 kettles of water according to the BBC. It may not seem like a lot but it's more than double what was possible in similar tests back in 1997. These tests also help validate other projects such as the ITER fusion reactor under construction in southern France. The big win here is not only the length of time that the reaction could be sustained but the fuel mix used. A mix of deuterium and tritium that created a successful reaction inside an 80 cubic meter vessel enclosed in a magnetic field that contained the reaction. These details are important because it's the specific type of fuel and container that are planned to be used in the ITER reactor only with containers 10 times larger. That would allow them to at least break even on power and provide a template for commercial nuclear fusion power plants. ITER is expected to begin experiments in 2025. I got really excited when I got the notification on my phone this morning saying breakthrough in nuclear fusion that could solve the world's energy problems which nuclear fusion could potentially solve the world's energy problems. Thank you to Dr. Nicky for pulling me back and being like, it's an advance but it's still, we're talking about, we're talking still about years but it is a big advance. Five seconds may not sound like a lot but that's five times what we've been able to do in the past and ITER, like she said, being bigger means that we can do better in the future. There's also some private development of fusion going on as well. It's in a race with ITER. So this is really exciting. Yeah, I feel like we've been talking about that stuff since you and I were in high school, junior high maybe. All right, yeah, cold fusion. Yeah, it seemed like every announcement was a huge breakthrough. And like, you'd find out later it's incremental good. We're working toward it. This actually feels like a bigger one. So I'm actually feeling more optimistic about this ancient goal than I ever have. Yeah, man, it couldn't come anytime soon. Please get here now. All right, let's check out the mail bag. Let's do it. Alison shared, I would say friend of the show but on the show quite often wrote it and said, isn't it curious that when Apple announced allowing tap to pay between iPhones, that was a story from our show on yesterday's show. She said they didn't announce that Apple pay cash was going to be first out of the gate. Right, it was not going to be them because, and it took me a minute to realize this too. I was like, wait, why isn't Apple taking a cut here? Apple doesn't do point of sale. Apple doesn't do cash registers. Apple does consumer payment. They do the credit card. They do Apple pay cash, which works like cash. So Square and Stripe, Stripe is the first partner on this new capability. They do the cash register. Apple pay cash is the cash you pay to the person operating the cash register. So does that make sense? Does that make it make sense? That's why Apple isn't using Apple pay cash because Apple pay cash isn't the cash register, it's the cash. Yeah, well, the whole idea is that Apple saying this is about third party developers making their own solutions, all sorts of different kinds of cash can be thrown around where we're just going to allow this between two different iPhones, as long as they're, at least the one who's tapping to pay is a new enough iPhone. I don't think Apple pay cash being part of, you would have introduced a lot of raised eyebrows like, oh really, Apple? Apple kind of is just like, we're just allowing all of this to flourish around us. And granted, Apple pay cash does allow you to take payments. I get that. It's a little like Venmo in that way, but it's not set up to be stripe. It's not set up to be square. It's not set up to be the cash register. Apple would like you to use an iPad for your cash register. They'd like you to pay with an Apple card or Apple pay cash. They like that you can send cash back and forth to each other, but they see it more consumer level versus it doesn't have the functions that you need to do like the full thing that Stripe and Square offer. At least that's my thought on this. Well, thank you to Alison Sheridan who's always bringing up good thought provoking questions. And yeah, come back soon to the show. We also want to extend a special thanks to Adam Carr. Adam Carr, you're one of our top lifetime supporters for DTNS and we would like to thank you now and here for all the years of support. Thank you, Adam. Also, thanks to Scott Johnson for being with us today. Scott, what's new in your world? Well, there's tons going on and I do a lot of, I don't know, people have noticed this, but when there's video game stories, I have a lot to say. If you want to hear me say I'll hold out more than that, I have an entire lineup of shows. Let's call it three shows that are entirely focused on video games all from different angles, different co-hosts and different points of view. If any of them are interesting to you, you might be able to find out for yourself by going to frogpantsplays.com and those shows are there kind of pulled out and set up separately so you can go, oh, okay, this is where all the gaming stuff is. If that sounds interesting, then you might like it. Go check it out frogpantsplays.com or you can find me on Twitter and ask me anything you want at Scott Johnson. Well, good to have you here as always. Reminder for folks, we are live on the show. We're doing it live right now. You might be hearing us after the fact or even watching us after the fact, but if you can join us live, we'd love to have you. Monday through Friday at 4.30 p.m. Eastern 2130 UTC. Find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live. Back doing it all again tomorrow with Len Peralta and Justin Marbury Young. Talk to you then. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Get more at frogpants.com. The club hopes you have enjoyed this program.


Welcome back to the Cyber Underground. I know it's been a while. I'm Dave Stevens and I've been busy with other stuff. You know, I'm a teacher and I teach cybersecurity, network security, and ethical hacking at the University of Hawaii, Kapi Island and Community College and I'm now the IT program director of that program. And with me today, I have proudly one of our adjunct faculty, Percy Ellis. Welcome brother. Hey, how are you doing? Welcome aboard. Okay, today let's talk about some of the five biggest headlines of cyber security. And then on the back half of the show, you're going to tell us all about how to get into drones, because we can use drones for security too, physical and cyber, right? And you're going to tell us how to get started because that's kind of a steep learning curve for some folks. It can be, yeah. So let's get into Gosnip. It just came out, $100 million stolen. And they caught these guys. So this is what countries here. The USA, Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Germany and Bulgaria participated in this. And they deployed, Gosnip is the organization, but it's also the combination of two pieces of malware put together, neither of which I can pronounce properly. But it came out to Gosnip and it's a trojan. It steals your login credentials, mainly for banking applications. And they stole $100 million from all of those countries I mentioned, except for the USA. I don't see any USA institutions breached. But that's, I guess that's good for us, but for the rest of the Europe, they use Europol, formerly Interpol. So this is a European Union police force, which I have never heard about until just a couple of days ago, which is odd. Have you ever heard of Europol? No, I've heard of Interpol. Interpol, right? Well, I guess it's changed. Maybe there's another Interpol. I haven't researched it. But this brings up a great point right now. Many websites are initiating multi-factor authentication. Do you use it? Absolutely. Use it at KCC. I use it at my bank. I won't even bank at a place that doesn't use multi-factor authentication. And Google, Yahoo. Even Facebook. I'll use multi-factor authentication from the calling me back with a text one-time password or fingerprint or Irish scanners. I use them on my mobile devices and on my pads, my little pads. Right. The phones now, some have a fingerprint reader. Some use face recognition. And that could be your second factor of authentication to get into the device, plus the password. Or sometimes, face is your password and they also give you the one-time password also known as an OTP. But it's important to recognize that this kind of Trojan would not be able to succeed with a multi-factor authentication process. So these banking institutions should really wake up and notice that multi-factor authentication protects their users even when there's a Trojan operating in the background. So again, you don't have to be faster than the bear chasing you in the woods, just faster than the guy next to you, right? So you don't have to be super, super, super secure with all these fancy tricks and Irish scans and all that. But multi-factor authentication makes you more secure than the next guy, right? And 41 institutions were hacked. I like the simple, send me a text one-time password. That is a nice one. We should remind our users though that the text is non-encrypted over a cellular signal. So it can be theoretically taken as a radio frequency transmission between cell powers. And you can get a hold of it. It's highly unlikely because it's a cell transmission. And that password will change every time you try to log in. So you'd have to be logging in, intercepting the authentication credentials, the user ID, the password, and have that one-time password. Got to have everything. Another one, do you use the Google Authenticator or a Duo, we call it Duo Security for UH, right? You just tap it and it gives you for 60 seconds at six or seven digits that you can use to log in as your second form of ID. And then you see it blink or turn red. And then it cycles to a new number in 60 seconds. So you have, you're on the clock. And then it'll change numbers, yeah.  Right.  Well, that's, that would be three. Something you have, something you know is two. Two FA or two-factor authentication. So you'd have to have your cell phone with you. For that you do. Yeah, you'd have to have a cell phone or another OTP generator. So you can get that, Amazon sends about for it, it's cloud customers for commercial customers. So send you a little battery operated OTP, which has got the same algorithm and clock synchronized with Amazon. That's kind of one of the things with cybersecurity in general for that kind of security, that kind of cryptography. Key generation and key distribution is a problem. So they have to send it via the mail. So it's, if it's intercepted, someone's got your generator and if they get your password as well, then they can generate that OTP. So if you lose it in the mail or you never get it, you really should tell the vendor or they can send you another one that's logged differently. The first time you use it, doesn't it have to be synchronized at that time that you have it, similar to when you receive your credit card? Never receive one like that. They always sync it to the manufacturer before they send it out. So Amazon would order it and when it got to Amazon, Amazon would key it and synchronize it with their clock and then they'd send it to you. So all you'd have to do is press a button. When I work for the Department of Transportation, we have secure ID cards. Okay. And so they came in the key fob and the six digits would change on your key fob, similar to what you were talking about, or they came in a little credit card sized. That's great. So it's something you have, something you know. Like no one can get inside your brain. So if they don't know your password, that's hidden even if they steal your ID card. So for this Gosnym, that's a good way to avoid it. Let's go on to Facebook has just banned an Israeli company, the Archimedes Group, for influencing elections in these African countries, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, Angola, Niger and Tunisia. No Nambia there, by the way. Okay. No Nambia. Big orange buffoon said there's a Nambia, but there's no Nambia. I love making fun of Trump. He's great. Over 200 Facebook and Instagram accounts with over 2.8 million followers. Just to influence them, they were representing themselves as locals, including representing themselves as local news organization. I love the sophistication of these Facebook attacks, where they can actually influence the elections by saying things that aren't even really related to the election. Right. So this is a good example. They were just talking about the politicians and their personal lives. So most of the attacks were how they live, their affairs, salacious details that weren't always true. But social media, you shouldn't trust this. It's not a news source. My wife loves Twitter. She's always on Twitter. She gets the news. She says, oh my gosh, look at this news story. This is incredible. But then we actually go to the media outlets and you start trying to correlate these facts. They don't line up. And it's amazing to me that people will believe Facebook news or just go to say Fox News, one of their affiliates, and believe whatever they say. But then they don't go and see, hey, what about Al Jazeera English? What about NPR? What about BBC? What about even, I've even had the LA Times not agree with Fox News, which is, I grew up with the LA Times. They were kind of right-leaning, and they usually agree with Fox News. But when they disagree, that's big red flag. There's some facts missing there. So you grew up in Northern California. So Francisco Chronicles, Sacramento Bee. And left-leaning, right-leaning? You know, I think they try to be fair. So they've had reporters from both sides. And it depends on the issue. But I've noticed the Facebook advertising hacks, which can be done by anyone. I can set up a Facebook account and advertise a political point of view are usually hot button issues. Yeah, yeah, they want to get you passionate. They want to get you angry. They want to get you engaged, right? So I've seen those. They come on. There was a there was a resistance ad with a fist on it, right? And it turned out to be a fake Russian account for the 2016 election. But it got a lot of people motivated and protesting. They actually went to a protest. This protest was hilarious because some journalists recognized that it was fake. And they went to this protest and they passed out big flags that said Trump on them. And they were red, white, and blue. But they weren't the red, white, and blue from America. It was the Russian flag. They said Trump on it. And people held them up. Yeah, he's just pay attention, folks, right? Just pay attention. So Facebook, I go to other news sources, right? What are your favorite news sources? There's Newsy, which is an internet news source. CNN, MSNBC, just for cable television. I only watch Fox News. If it's something really important, I want to balance. Yeah, but I don't take them too seriously because hot button topics. I was surprised. I watched, I actually dedicated two hours of my life to watch Fox News to see what it was what it was doing and why people said it was good or bad. And what I saw was their actual news program seemed to be, and I'm not lying, pretty balanced. But right after that show, immediately following with no warm up was just a political pundit saying all these things that I don't agree with. Sure. But it looked like that political pundit was a news person like another anchor man like this is another new show. But it's not. It was personal opinion. With all of the news anchors that can, they know that they can throw their weight around by pushing hot button issues. I'm not surprised at all that CNN versus Fox is just so unbalanced. You have to find something in the middle. It's hard to find that. That's why I stick to things like Presta Olegram, London, BBC News, NPR, Al Jazeera, English, and even if you don't agree with their opinions, the common facts and all the stories will align and you can figure out for yourself what's going on. So I think trying to train people, young people coming up today, and the older folks, like my parents, I got to train them to actually correlate all this information and come up with your own opinion, use some critical thinking. Well, we've had NBC, ABC and CBS for years.  And along comes Fox, MSNBC and CNN. And you really have to look outside of the United States then to the BBC Al Jazeera to find out what unbiased opinions are all about. Right. It's important to use some critical thinking to figure out what news is real. Let's go to I got to cover this really quick data breaches. Data breaches over the last three years have caused massive financial damages. And I always emphasize to companies, you got to put some serious money into cybersecurity. And here's why. These three companies, Marriott, Equifax, Yahoo, their average stock price after those those incidents over 2018, 17 and 16, their average stock price dropped by 7.5%. A large company. That's a lot of money. That's massive, right? Their market capitalization decreased average $742 million. I don't even know what that looks like on paper, right? I couple thousands all I ever have in my bank account there to drop in 742 million because they didn't make an investment. Not only in their company, but I think it's important to emphasize that you should invest in your people. Because you can't just go hiring a couple cyber guys, right? You got to train your folks. Yeah. So you have a frontline person deals with the public all day being socially engineered. I went into a show in Las Vegas, I forget which one it was. And I met Kevin Metnick. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's one of the greatest fresh out of jail and he's rich. He's turned to the other side, though. He's defending companies. But he says you go for the low low hanging fruit. Yeah, that's and that's you're right the frontline people. So train all your people, not just those couple of cyber individuals, you got to get everybody on the same team because like you're saying to me before the show, it's the weakest link in the chain. And that's the low hanging fruit. And then you log in to their accounts and you pivot until you get to the account with a password or the administrative rights that you need, right? I think that's that Equifax went down between the two acts. Let's talk about zombie load really quick. Everyone's heard about zombie load. This is one of those Intel processor hacks that you can do. But software can actually look at the speculative processing or the speculative cash in a processor as it hyper threads. And this is a very fast processing is makes your computer go 30 to 40% faster to process data. They found where software can actually read that cash. And here to tell people that there's fixes out there in software and operating systems. Don't disable your hyper threading. Are you going to go down in performance by a lot? A lot and you're not going to enjoy that. You'll go back to the 1990s. That's what we're first came around. I think was the 46 processor introduced the hyper threading. Yeah, the read ahead. Yeah. And this is a good thing to have. So don't disable it doesn't necessarily protect you. As a matter of fact. And to get out of this update your OS all the time just keep updating Microsoft is issued stuff. So is AMD Intel and Mac OS. Now how does zombie load infect the computer? Well, I'm going to have to take you after the break. Okay, that's the question. We'll be right back until we come back. Everybody stay safe. Aloha, I'm Gwen Harris, the host here at Think Tech Hawaii, a digital media company serving the people of Hawaii. We provide a video platform for citizen journalists to raise public awareness in Hawaii. We are a Hawaii nonprofit that depends on the generosity of the supporters to keep on going. We'd be grateful if you go to think tech Hawaii dot com and make a donation to support us now. Thanks so much. Aloha, I'm Wendy Lowe and I'm coming to you every other Tuesday at two o'clock live from Think Tech Hawaii. And on our show, we talk about taking your health back. And what does that mean? It means mind, body and soul. Anything you can do that makes your body healthier and happier is what we're going to be talking about, whether it's spiritual health, mental health, fascia health, beautiful smile health, whatever it means, let's take healthy back. Aloha. Welcome back. Did you miss us? We've been lonely waiting for you to come back and join us. We're talking about all the ins and outs and tips and tricks to keep you safe in the internet world, the gig economy. I'm here with Percy Ellis, adjunct faculty in my IT program, and we're here to tell you more about Zombie Load, which is an end-to-end-tell processor vulnerability. Zombie data can be the data that the application that's processing data needs help. So it asks the CPU for some help, and the CPU uses its cache. And it's the data that's speculated on the read-ahead data, and you can actually read that data with certain software. So you have to have, like you said, a virus or a trojan running on your computer, but if you do, browsers can get at it, and it can cross boundaries. So if you're using Firefox and that's where the data intrusion happened, this software cache can be read by other programs that are already operating. So your malware doesn't have to be in Firefox or in another application. It can be running independently. But whatever's running on your system, generating that zombie data on your processor, it can be read. Now I've written an article about Zombie Load, and Microsoft and Intel both defended themselves by saying you'd have to be very meticulous about the data that you're gathering. Because as you know, and maybe not our audience, the information that is in those caches is just bits and pieces of passwords. And you would have to really know what you're searching for. And then you'd have to be pretty sleuthy to put those little bits and pieces back together, even form a password. You know what this reminds me of is when you're doing data recovery, you get bits and pieces because someone's form out of the hard drive or it got thrown in a lake or something, you don't get the whole thing. But the software that you run to reconstruct the data speculates what could be in there. And it's for the most part, I think it's fairly accurate. It's getting better. I've been using this stuff since the 1990s. And it's pretty darn good now. There's free stuff out there called Recover. Spelled wrong. Recover. And it's free Windows utility, hasn't had any malware attacks that I'm aware of. But it can actually recover like a four minute hard drive. And it gets all the files and it just speculates what's in them based on what it found. And for the most part, it's pretty darn good. It's actually helped me save my thesis. Because I deleted it accidentally long time ago. But the forensics toolkit as well, the forensics toolkit, which is on Cali. Oh, I didn't know that. I believe it is. I might be wrong. Check me on this. Somebody write me a letter to say this. Yes, it's not. Or yes, it is. No, it's not. Let's move on to the WhatsApp malware that everyone's talking about. And I just installed it. Well, you probably installed the good word, right? This is they've already come out with Facebook issued an update. So if you install the update, you should be okay. The WhatsApp though, the scary part about it was that if you have it loaded, and I have WhatsApp loaded, all I have to do is call your phone on WhatsApp using that application, you don't even have to answer. And I get into your phone, I can turn on the camera and get all your information, have admin rights to it. And it's there's some there's a multi level step process that you have to go through to make sure that this is not going to affect you anymore. If you've had this before, and I don't think you will, but you should update the operating system on your phone. You should update the application or deleted it from not going to use it. And I wouldn't keep it running. Keep it in his sandbox, keep it off unless you're actually going to use it. I only use it for cross platform. So I someone has an iPhone and they want to do a video chat with me and I have my Samsung Android. There's a problem with Android, right? You can't update your OS. Sure, I can. How do you do that? There updates that are issued. And you get an alert on your phone and how often does that happen? Samsung used to be notorious for not issuing updates. Um, I could check my phone and tell you what version it is. And when you go into your system, you can say update to the newest version. Oh, I did not know that you can do you can check and do it manually. Usually it's a push notification that you get. Oh, that's great. Um, so you just get the little badge saying there's an update. There's an update on the iPhone. Make sure it's make sure it's plugged in and you get the little robot and he starts feeding himself updates. Is that that's a graphic? Yeah. So can you set that on the Android to do automatically when you're asleep? You can do. Yeah, you can set timing like that. But every now and then, especially if I hear about the latest update, I'll go ahead and manually do it. Well, that's good to know. Samsung used to be just terrible notorious for not giving. Yeah. And the reason is every Android build is tied to the manufacturer of that device, right? LG, Samsung, whoever's making it Google and they and they put out the update for their build of Android is they're all particular to the phone, right? Whereas the iPhones are all generic. We all get the same iOS. And if it sucks, it sucks, everyone just suffers. We all just got to get through it. But you'd like the Samsung and the updates. It's going okay for you. It's gone very well for me. I think we just got an update last month. Because I remember having to plug my phone in and not use it for 20 minutes. That's a push update. It was a push. That's great. That's good. It's good to know. So for WhatsApp, install the new version of WhatsApp. If you have to use it, keep it off. Update your operating system on your phone. And don't use it unless you have to. The crazy thing is, Israel's in the news for this one too. Their NSO group is the one who created the software and somehow it's in the wild. And they, they, they say they were only selling it to law enforcement, which is troubling in itself. But it's now being used by private enterprise. Well, yeah, everything that gets leaked like that is going to be used by it's all getting leaked. Nothing, nothing stays within their realm anymore. You know, this is this is how we got the shadow brokers. They use leaked stuff all the time. Have you heard the phrase data wants to be free or software wants to be free? I do. I know that phrase. Hey, let's talk about drones. We just changed topics here really quickly. We talked about your starter drone here. So I'm somebody who doesn't know anything about drones. I've always wanted to get into them. Your drones are being used in movies and and farms, even for painters, instruction, security. Everyone wants to use a drone.  I pushed a little lever to the side. It didn't do anything.  And that's the last time I could use it. Because it broke there. I worked for a company here locally. I think it's called the Hawaii Drone Academy. It's run by Samantha Kimsey. And I was training with a helicopter pilot by the name of Alex. And he showed me some really useful tricks in learning to fly a drone for the first time. So you're right. It'll hover. And you can manage that maneuver. The first thing you should do is go forward and use your right stick and your controller to move the drone forward. And very gentle movements of that right stick. Then you'll want to form a box. A little bit to the right. Sounds like dance classing our kids. You're going to do the box step. Yeah, absolutely. And then back. Yeah. And then to the left. So you want to repeat this motion until you've got it in an open space. You could do it. You should probably do it in an open space. I should because I broke your other drone. And it had sensors around it. Now this one does not have the sensors around it that prevent it from hoping into walls. But it does have little protectors here. I like that. Yeah, this is more to protect. If this was to come and hit you in the face without these protectors, it probably wouldn't. These are pretty soft. So you might get a scratch in the neck. But they have they have drones that have really nice shielding. You can run them into people. So not recommended by the way, audience, don't run these into people. We're not advocating that. So I have in this bag, a controller. Okay, no. Sorry, let's just talk about the this one real quick. This is you said this $100 about that. Yeah, $100 that it comes with this controller, which is a ps2 controller or it looks like an Xbox controller. Yeah, it's just a Bluetooth controller. This is called the Game Store. And you'll see me pushing on the right stick. So this is forward and back forward back left and right. Okay, just want to form those boxes.  Yeah, the point in a different direction.  This is helpful when there's a camera. When you have a camera mounted on that because you want to aim the camera at different things. Yeah, absolutely. There's different camera maneuvers that you might want to try. The trucking shock is just strafing left to right. Then you want want to try what they call a roadie and DJ, DJ I'd parlance, where you go back. So that's called a droney, excuse me, a droney droney. Yeah. Okay. So you have your target on the ground. And you back up like that you back up like that really great for cinematic shots. And there's a lot of pre programmed cinematic shots that you can you can use. And that's what I mainly use when I'm going out for area aloha aerial imaging. Let's stop there for a second because you have a lot of examples of these shots. Yes, I did. At your YouTube site. You want to give yourself a little plug really quick. Sure. Visit aloha aerial imaging. And you'll see some great videos the ones that's been getting the most attention is the video we took a China man's hat. Oh, that was great. We're Ross was Ross on the island standing waving at the top and you flew all the way out there. This is several thousand meters away from you. Yeah. And another example that we went out to Rabbit Island, which is probably a mile out. And we went to the far side of Rabbit Island, which is not hard to anyone ever knows what that looks like, right? You can't see it from by the way, audience, if you don't live in Hawaii, those are two mini islands off the coast of the island of Oahu on the windward side on the windward side. And I got up there and I said it to do a circle of the entire island. And it automatically does. Not this one. Not this one. Yeah, you have a fancy one. Far too small. But this is a great drone to learn how to do all of those cinematic shots. And you can do them in a small environment. You don't want to fly drones over people's heads. Now you don't need a license for this one. You do not. But the big ones, you went out and got license half a pound to 50 pounds half a pound to 50 pounds. You need a license. You need a license. Okay. And how much was that? Oh, gosh, I forget the the actual FA exam is not too bad. And I need to take it again probably in a year. So you have to redo it every year? Every two to three years, every two to three years. Wow, that was quick. We're out of time. That was too quick. We'll do more on this. I just asked Percy, audience, you should be aware I just asked Percy to consider creating a junior level course on using drones for security. And we might be teaching that in the next year or so at Capitol County Community College. Get ready for FAA ground school part one. All right. Thanks for your brother. I appreciate it. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us for Cyber Underground. Again, please come back. I will be back in about four weeks. I know I'm on vacation. It's going to be a little while. Try to bear with me and I'll bring you some great updates and some great facts and some interesting stories maybe from a land far away. Until then,


Good afternoon, everybody. We are here on day two of Galaxy Community Conference and we have with us Dan and Baker from John Hopkins University, who spoke in the session three on Developmental Talks and I had a question for you. Is this your first time to Minneapolis? First time to Minneapolis, yeah. Okay, and are you surprised with what you saw or? It's warmer than I expected. So Dan and you spoke in the Developmental Talks session and I just wanted to know, apart from your talk, which are the other talks that you were most impressed by? I thought they were all great. One thing that I really enjoyed seeing though was the new history talk. I think that's going to be really impactful for users and it's something we've been working on for a long, long time. Longer than we wanted. But I'm really glad it's finally coming out and people will get to see it soon and have a faster, better history in Galaxy. Any other talks? John's talk on the remote data work is really, really incredible. I know he's sort of pulling together lots of threads from different projects we worked on over the course of a few years but it's really cool to see that finally materializing the deferred data set stuff that's going to be really nice. Yeah. So Dan, first of all, thanks for attending in person. You know that this year we had slightly less number of attendees as compared to what we had before the pandemic but just wanted to ask you about what message would you give to people who are attending online? What are the things that they're missing out on by not attending in person? So for me, I've been on the team since 2010. I've been going to these. The only time I've ever missed one is when we had kids. I had to miss one or two, actually, two kids. And for me, it's like seeing an extended family. It's great to just, you know, obviously the talks are great and everything but just getting back together with people and seeing folks usually only see online and, you know, getting to chat more informally and catch up. That's nice. All right. That's all the time that we have. And thanks, Dan, again, and we'll wrap up here and we'll come up for more search interviews. Thanks. Thanks.


Tell us a scary story. No, make it a fairy tale. Yeah, a fairy tale. All right, I got one. Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, so long ago, it was before even selfies. Before any of you were even born army beating navy. Tell us a story that's believable. Yeah, army beating navy? What next? Are you going to tell us there's such thing as a tooth fairy? You know, kids, I think you're right. I've never actually seen army beating navy. And I guess none of us ever will. Again.
