Okay, go and then when they finish recording, it's okay.  I'll tell a little story right now then Here's a little story. I want to tell you about a fella named Scott Johnson. I once I once that's a bad beginning. So I do current geek with Scott and when we started doing current geek Independently he was controlling the stream. So when we were done He would say, you know, thanks to the guests, you know, have a great weekend and then just hang up And at first I was like kind of take it aback like, oh, we didn't really get a chance to you know I started to love that. Oh It's such a release to not have to wonder like, okay, are we done? Do we have to like it? Just just solve the problem It's funny though because well, but that's somebody you talk to all the time I don't get to talk to these guys that often and I'd like to you know around a little bit and it's like, okay Thanks, Elsa Mike They say here's the link here's the link to upload your file. Bye. Good. Bye. Okay. Thanks. Bye. Yeah That's it But you do know that I mean if it's one, you know nine to nine thirty and nine thirty two You can plan another event. That's good. That's actually very helpful Yeah, well, that's why I don't do certain shows Because they're sort of like an hour ish. Yeah, right. Yeah, you don't know, you know, if you don't have two hours Really, it's like kind of like sometimes you need a hard out It's true. We're all busy folk. Now the cats behind the monitors If you see me leap up and look at my armpits as I go to get the cat out from behind So Allison I put your But you introducing yourself Sounds good. Okay. I sort of combined your your plants there. You'll be right after Lent. So I don't say I guess you wouldn't say and then yeah, I I Almost made some hoth cocoa Tontan flavored. No, thankfully It's a I lean got a three pack of Dagobah green tea hoth cocoa and Darth Vader dark roast Yeah, like a long time ago. It's probably not good anymore Right, but I had seen your wrote frozen planet of hoth and I was like, oh, I should I should make the hoth cocoa Mojam, yes, it is hat day Friday is hat day Tip of the hat to you optional hat day as Roger is demonstrating. Yeah, you don't have to have a hot day. It's all good Roger, you okay? Yes I'm just going over these CS emails. Sorry. Okay. Well, you can do that after Read all your CS emails there Roger. No, no, I'm it's regarding our Our shows that's okay.  Nope? Okay I'm kidding Let's rock you guys ready. Yep. Yep Read my shirt born ready Here we go The Daily Tech news show is powered by its listeners not outside Organizations if you get value from the show consider giving a little back as little as a dollar a month keeps great tech news and analysis Coming your way commercial free find out more at Daily Tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Friday, January 5th, 2018 from DTNS headquarters in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from a beautiful day By the water from studio feline. I'm Sarah Lane from the frozen planet of Hawth I mean DTNS northeast in Cleveland. I'm Len Peralta and from pod feet headquarters with more felines than necessary I'm Allison Sheridan. We are heavy on the felines today. Also joining us without cats Roger Chang our producer. I have no cats Sin gatos is the shirt that Roger wears Because about town actually pretty good shirt idea. Yeah, no one's done that yet that one in the store Dave Michael. All right Let's start with a few tech things you should know Sources tell billboard that Jimmy Iovine will leave Apple in August I have been joined Apple when it acquired beats back in 2014 Iovine's Apple shares conveniently fully vest in August probably not Apple music now has 30 million paid users which to put it into perspective is a little less than half of Spotify's 70 million Didn't they say when Apple bought beats that they were really buying Jimmy Iovine for all of his contacts? I bet you can't buy a human being. I guess so you can't keep one I guess well Fitbit invested six million dollars into a startup called the Sano Which is developing a coin-sized patch to help diabetics track blood sugar levels as for market interests the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 100 million Americans are now living with diabetes or pre-diabetes Fitbit sold 3.6 million devices in the quarter-endering ending September 30th down from 5.3 million a year earlier That could be a big hit and go and head to head with Apple on that If they both do it yay, right? Yeah. No totally I have a friend who got one of the continuous glucose monitors and she says it's just amazing it how She can control things because as she sees that plummeting she can fix it and still waiting until she feels horrible And then going okay now. Let me check and see what happened. Yeah The US FCC released the final text of the order to change the open internet guidelines This is the net neutrality change that everybody's been talking about and this is the text that will be published in the federal Register so it's not in effect yet has to be published in the federal register before the rules go into effect All right, let's get into some more top stories kick us off Allison Amazon is rolling out the Alexa mobile accessory kit Which lets Amazon voice services work on Bluetooth products like headphones smartwatches fitness trackers other audio devices It's a lighter version of the AVS device SDK The kid is rolling out to limited partners with wide availability this summer Amazon also introduced the premium voice development kit that lets device makers enable high quality Far-field voice experiences for either seven mic circular or eight mic rectangular array boards Yeah So this is Amazon's next step to stay ahead of Google and the rest of the competition and voice services Get it in the smaller devices get it in the Internet of Things devices They already have that device kit, you know, they talked about it. It's gonna be in microwaves So you want it in the small stuff too? Well, it's funny. It's it's I call them the normals But I have a lot of people asking me like, you know, what kind of like smart speaker should I buy and I want to get an Alexa, right? I'm like, well, it's an echo. It's you know, Alexa's the AI and echoes the hardware, but Clearly Amazon understands this and is like if Alexa can be sort of omnipresent in all sorts of devices Then you know the Amazon Amazon's own echo speaker is not so much this thing that has to be pushed forward unless somebody wants it You know every time I think of this now I think of Alexa it's coming from inside the house It's everywhere. I just want to give the blanket Apology to everyone whose Amazon echos have been set off three or four times now. Oh, yeah, sorry It's gonna get worse before it gets better. I'm just saying I do have an explanation of that, Tom And I don't think I've said it on this show before but Alexa is a dog and Siri is a cat if you have Siri to Do some she looks back and goes. Oh, I don't know if I feel like doing it. I might I might help you I'm not really sure and Alexa's sitting over there going, huh? Are you talking to me? Okay? Can I help you? Can I help you? What are you doing? It's kind of true. I've actually been looking at my Amazon Echo show with the water running Told it to add something to the shopping list and the one in the living room answers But again, I will now add a further apology for the two more times that Allison has now set off here Now stop it people do not think it's funny. Let me just tell you that right now And I will forward the emails to you. Okay, do it do that All right, moving on show of hands who has had something in their bathroom or kitchen made by Kohler A lot of people have raised their hands, right? So bathroom fixture maker Kohler announced Kohler connect connect with a K which allows motion or voice controls of faucets and Toilets including support for Amazon voice services. So yours is Ken It's like you could start a shower or warm your toilet seat or adjust lighting from the mirror Fill a bathtub to a very decided decided depth all through your voice kind of cool Kohler is Verdana voice-lighted mirror will be the first connect product on the market coming in March We'll probably see something like this at CES, you know, I originally laughed because I was like smart toilets however Anything that requires me to touch a toilet fewer times in the day not gonna be mad at that I Suppose if they were in public restrooms, maybe no, even my own You know this comes to mind our mutual friend Dorothy was talking about putting in a new Shower system of she's rebuilding part of her house and a friend of theirs has this cool electronic thing It's got all kinds of bowls and whistles and things you can do with the shower And then they said yeah, but the power was out the other day and we couldn't turn the shower on so, you know Maybe some stuff doesn't really need this Echo start my warm shower. Tell me when it's 38 degrees Celsius Having shared showers with roommates and you know whoever in the past The the idea of having something that's you know, a shower is very personal experience You want to sing in there? You want to do your thing?   It is a personal experience Yeah, I think there's a range here I think some of these things may end up being smart refrigerators where you don't really need them But especially the mirror we're gonna see a lot of smart beauty products at CES. We'll talk about that In a little bit. I think I think that's the kind of thing that you might get some people to say. Oh, yeah, no, that's that's helpful Echo make my mirror make me look thin That too All right, I'm gonna talk a lot about specter and meltdown now. So just settle in But this is probably the last big collection of announcements for a while Specter if you haven't been paying attention has two main aspects and we haven't talked about these aspects on the show before There's an array bounds attack that tests the bounds of arrays an array bounds test and a branch prediction attack And you don't necessarily have to understand what those are but know that those are two different kinds of attacks that need to be mitigated Intel has issued guidance for mitigating against the array bounds test in individual apps as well as issuing a microcode update for its processors that will need operating systems support but combats the branch prediction attack AMD says it's less susceptible to the branch prediction attack although it doesn't say it isn't but it just moves on and Suggest that operating systems can patch to mitigate the array bounds test problem and recommends That the operating systems can take care of that for for AMD processors Arm has detailed new instructions to patch the array bounds test for its processors and Recommends using existing systems that it has in place for invalidating or disabling the branch prediction attack Apple says it is updating Safari to protect against specter attacks on its chips. It doesn't differentiate between the two So maybe it thinks one of them was already safe I don't know Microsoft has modified edge and IE to guard against the array bounds test and has implemented support for Intel's microcode updates as well As a brute force approach for the branch prediction attack So they've got Intel's microcode if there's a branch prediction attack against Windows But they also have their own brute force protection if you're using a different non Intel piece of hardware Mozilla has patched Firefox and a chrome patch will ship by the end of the month That's specter. That's where we sit with the specter patches. Here are the fixes for meltdown This is simpler about almost all of them are out for major operating systems and cloud services Apple confirmed that Mac OS was already protected and then it has further mitigation efforts for meltdown on the way Microsoft notes that third-party antivirus must support dual page tables or its fix can't be implemented So in a sense if you have third-party antivirus You'll need to check to make sure that your third-party antivirus is Updated and supporting the fix before you can get the meltdown fix on Windows or just don't use third-party use Defender Sys admins need to turn on dual page tables and Windows server as well Since the performance impact will vary depending on workload Intel says that performance reductions due to meltdown mitigation should not be Significant they don't think it would be anywhere near 30 percent. They say it does depend on workload But most people won't notice fact that was already there in Mac OS. They were doing this kernel table isolation already Makes me think they're probably right and Google says its mitigations have negligible effect on performance as well so the good news is Almost everything is patched or if it's not patched there is a you know a foreseeable patch in the future There still are no in-the-wild exploits of either of these and it sounds like the performance hit Aren't is not going to be nearly as bad as people feared when we first heard about this earlier this week I have a couple of questions Probably don't have answers but shoot well So Apple has been saying that Mac OS was already patched my understanding is the patches 10 dot 13 dot 2 So that would say if you're on high Sierra you already have the patch But this would also affect the people who are on Sierra and El Capitan going back. That's just a really good point You're right high Sierra does that kernel table isolation? But if you're not up to date on high Sierra, then you wouldn't have that protection Those are supposed to be patched OSes so but I mean my question is going to be have they patched those older ones and Patches in the work so maybe that's one one of the things that those further patches will address would be my guess Is that same question valid in on in Windows world? Do you have to be on Windows 10 to have been getting these new patches? Well, that's another that's a great question. I don't know the answer to seven users Various liens right flexities about whether you're actually supported or not if you're on Windows 8 I Would assume that they would have a patch out of cycle, but I honestly haven't checked Don't be too cocky there and everything's everything is well awesome, right? Well, everything everybody has addressed this and put out patches You may need to check to find out if your patch is actually there yet but again The the tendency that I'm steering against is to overreact and say everything is awful And I'm trying to say everything is not awful We're getting patches for these things and in fact it looks like if the register hadn't broken this story The plan had been to introduce all of the patches and all the fixes on the day they announced the problem They're trying to keep this problem under wraps. That's you know, it's remarkable how much it went from everybody panic This is the worst to okay patches are out everybody good, which you know it leads One to believe that the companies had been working on some sort of a you know a group effort for some time and perhaps they were scooped a little bit by the register, but They were pretty close to a solution at least something that you know is going to you know pacify most people So the lesson two or three days later after this came out is probably not going to be the big performance hits We were worried about and I believe two days ago We were under the impression that the specter piece of this was oh my god We need whole new pieces of hardware and that that's no longer the case That does not seem to be the case what what what seems to be the truth behind that is that to actually Fix the specter vulnerability You need to rearchitect and Intel plans to do that in future Releases, but you can still mitigate Against it and I know that's a fine line for most people. It doesn't even matter They're like as long as I'm not vulnerable That's all I care about and that's what's true You're not going to be vulnerable if you get these mitigations, but the mitigations basically kind of Defend and and push the push the the attempts in a different direction rather than actually go and fix the underlying vulnerability So the I guess the difference there is somebody could figure out a way around the mitigation a little easier Then they could figure out how to fully create a new vulnerability from scratch Sources tell tech crunch that GoPro is laying off between 200 and 300 people this week Concentrated in the aerial division, which makes the karma drum GoPro laid off 100 people in late 2006 and then 270 more in March of last year and normally I'd say well Okay, you know companies sort of ebb and flow, but you know GoPro is Is synonymous with drones? I mean it was for sure one of the first companies that really got put on the map for drone technology And just because we're about to go to CES in a couple of days and we're going to be talking about so much So what's the new cool hot thing? It was only a couple of years ago where drones were you know That was the whole thing and there were companies that GoPro is obviously making hardware But a lot of companies that were adding drone divisions and ramping up their drone technology And not that that still isn't you know valuable in some sense But it's really kind of shifted as far as like the the the new shiny thing that consumers are talking about Yeah, I mean Roger made the point in our pre-show conversation that It seems like drones and quad copters and UAVs in general have matured as a market and GoPro Getting out of the business seems to be one of the signals of that. Yeah Looks like it Hey folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe at two daily tech headlines You can get it as a podcast on the Amazon Echo on the Google home on the anchor app Or just as a good old-fashioned podcast at daily tech headlines comm So we're going to CES who may regret this but it's It's something we're always Whether we go or not we always cover it and it's always interesting to talk about what you expect To see from the show and then sort of see how the show plays out It's funny because every year we say it's the same old thing TVs Smartphones and ultra media PCs and then the next year. It's TVs smartphones and 3d printers and you know, there's always one little thing that slowly changes over the year This year it seems like the smart speaker battle that we were kind of talking about earlier Amazon versus Google and and everybody else trying to get into the smart speaker battle as well as smart home stuff like the Kohler stuff and just AI expect everybody to be using AI for everything TVs and displays of course lots of car tech Especially self-driving car tech Wearables particularly health and wellness wearables We're going to see a lot more of that like the glucose monitor thing we talked about We'll probably hear a lot about 5g a lot of augmented reality Maybe some virtual reality robots phones, etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. So I I've got an overview of all of these different categories and what to expect here But I thought we'd go around the table And what we could start with you Allison What what are the things you're expecting to see and maybe you're most excited to see too? You know, I don't cover stuff like the self-driving car stuff But I am really intrigued to see the there's a car called or I should say a bus called accessible Ali It's a a giant bus that's going to be in the lobby But it's specifically a self-driving vehicle to drive people who can't see around or have other accessibility So I think that's kind of cool I think I gave you guys some links There's going to be more attention to accessibility by creating categories for accessibility So when a vendor puts their stuff up into CS they say, oh, I've got AI because everybody's going to put AI And then they put down, you know, I do drones, but then they can also say there's something about accessibility So people can find them that way. So I'm kind of excited about that I always like walking past the TV stuff, but the TV stuff's always just, you know, just crazy talk I mean, it's fun to go look at but I don't spend a lot of time on that Well, we're going to get an 88 inch 8k. Oh led television Oh, yeah There's going to be a lot of talk about HDR 10 and Dolby vision and Samsung is going to be over there with HDR 10 plus And there's advanced HDR. So you'll get a bunch of HDR confusion But yeah, I mean maybe some transparent screens will be cool to look at other than that. I don't know Yeah, but where I get excited. Um, I am excited about the smart home stuff I think that's really really interesting Terrifying interesting and be interesting to hear if they talk about security all in any of that stuff Definitely enjoying that.  I'll be focusing on that, Tom Yes, yes, you've never been a skeptic of VR that I know because I can't remember before yesterday Exactly exactly. So probably not too excited about that I'm also intrigued by the the wearables and health and fitness stuff because as I think I've said here before I find it fascinating that half of the stuff that we're inventing right now Is designed to make sure we never have to get off the couch I mean, Sarah doesn't want to go up and fill that bathtub to the perfect height, right? She wants to be able to lay on the couch until it's ready.  I don't mean to speak for you, Sarah, but let's let's This is a Sarah without an H different Sarah altogether. Totally different Sarah imaginary Sarah She doesn't want to have to get up off the couch to get the do the do to run the bath Because she wants to get up off the couch and exercise and have fun Not waste time running the bath I don't know. You watch the people in the 1920s. They didn't have to exercise, right? Well, they're all running around doing everything by hand. Oh, well, there's that But you know, I love the idea of Lots of companies piling on the smart home thing even though I know that there will be a lot of smart home Solutions that the world doesn't really need but it's funny that you mentioned baths because I actually don't take them because I have a history of seizures So I'm not supposed to like take a bath when I'm alone because you know, you could like have a seizure and drown and that is why some of the stuff in the wearables category is really interesting to me because Counting how many steps I took to take a walk and and uh, you know, what was the elevation that I You know reached during a given day. It's like that's interesting data But it's not really interesting in the sense of like keeping myself as healthy as possible What is interesting to me is, you know, you know the the diabetic measurements The idea that people uh women could track their fertility stuff that you actually a lot of people have to go to the doctor regularly for And to be able to cut down on that with something that's actually accurate Is like that's not just like ces being flashy. That's like really cool Well, and that's the key, right? Is it accurate? Are these blood pressure monitors? These glucose detectors gluten sensors, we're going to hear all of these kinds of things Are they good enough that a doctor will and say, yeah, okay You know that you can use that in a medical situation versus sort of a, you know, well, it's interesting to track I don't really need to rely on it Situation and and that's a big deal. I mean some of the stuff is going to be real There's a spoon called the guiano spoon two for parkinson's patients, for instance, which Corrects for the shake as they bring food to their mouth so that the spoon stays steady like that kind of stuff Crazy cool We I used to design a steering mirrors for a military electronics that did just that it was really hard Yeah, they weren't compensated for the shake. Yeah, they weren't spoon size though. I mean They're a little bit bigger than that I do like where you're going with the the health stuff that'll actually keep us alive longer I mean looking at what apples discovered from the apple watch that they've been able to predict afib I mean, there's some there's some crazy stuff happening that they didn't quite realize it was going to be able to do so Yeah, and I think we'll see a lot more companies riding on the back of not only apple watch but phones Not just the iphone, but the android phones as well With a lot of add-ons and mods where you know, there's one out there I think it's called the the v vital if I remembering right where you put your finger in and it says it can do blood pressure and glucose monitoring and like five different vital statistics For you like temperature and all of that just by sticking your finger in it and it attaches right to your phone Well, I mean they've been they've had those little machines that like the wall greens by the pharmacy for however many years now you know and it's like The idea that you just don't have to be at that place in order to get the same uh data is It's not just like wow that's novel, but it's just really convenient and I think The stuff that I care about the most that's coming out of ces is convenient technology that we'll actually use It goes even further than that sarah So you could go to the doctor to wall greens and check your blood pressure once a month or whenever you go to buy toilet paper but um My friend bart had high blood pressure and he decided to fix it and by losing weight and exercising And so he used his apple watch to track it But what he was able to do uh was was start collecting metrics that all pulled together with his he had a home Kit to to do his blood pressure He was able to put that together with his exercise with his calories showing exactly what he ate and hand a report to the doctor And that was the doctor was just blown away at all the data He had to make decisions for or I'll make the right decisions now granted We'll have to separate the weed from the chaff but there's going to be some really interesting Health and wellness stuff and that that seems to be where wearables is heading and it seems to be a more fruitful direction The smart home stuff really is going to be the battle of google versus amazon Whether something is actually smart or whether it's just using the term ai And we're going to see it in everything smart tupperware. Like I said microwaves I really think the beauty gadgets are something to keep an eye on because Beauty is a an exploding category right now. It's got a ton of interest on places like youtube And and my wife's way into korean beauty products And if somebody can come up with the kind of mirror that that really captures an audience And isn't like a walled garden where it's like, oh, I have to only buy this one kind of product I think that could be really interesting I also feel like on the subject of staying healthy smart tupperware could tell me more readily when to throw out my leftovers Well, yeah, that's a good one. Sarah. I like that. There's a company. Uh, that has a scanner There's a company that has a scanner that's going to be showed off at ces for your food Yeah, it's from link square so you can scan your food and it'll tell you if it's safe or not Right. Yeah, like is that chicken like do I have to throw it out or I just have to like cook it a little bit hotter That's so cool I like that. I like it. Tom on the beauty thing. What are you thinking in in terms of ai and and uh, you know higher tech stuff for beauty Like what smart mascara? I don't get it What I'm thinking is you've got a mirror, uh, what that says Oh, you know, if you were to use this Innisfree facial mask It will actually make your face look like this and you know, it maybe does a representation Uh, or it analyzes your skin and says, oh, well, you need this kind of moisturizer or things like that Or something like this type of shading is good for this type of low light atmosphere, but not sunlight Totally totally. Oh, that's a good idea. Simulate the uh, the club not the sterile bathroom Do you want to look good? You want to look crazy? On your way to the market in noon. Do you want to look good in the club? Yeah Uh, yeah, so we're gonna see a lot of cars. Uh, nissan's brain to vehicle We talked about before byton has a bunch of the folks from faraday future which went under Uh, the the faraday future version that went under working for them So they're going to have their world premiere at china.  We mentioned mad cats coming back So these are just some of the things To look for at ces.

Let's check the mailbag sarah. You know, uh, normally we get a lot of written emails However, our email is now ai enabled. So we have a voice message from james from ervine who called in with some feedback for us Hey tom sarah roger and friends just calling to give you a little bit of feedback Love the show. That was it You know, it doesn't have to be long Gosh really nailed it Good good stuff. Thank you james for ervine It's always good to be on friends If you ever want to give us some feedback and feel like talking rather than writing all good. Yeah, do it Len peralta, what have you been drawing as we've been talking about smart toilets? Well, you know I could not I saw the smart toilet Talk in the uh in the feed And of course I had to draw The smart toilet what I'm looking forward the most to ces is of course seeing how this connected commode if you will Will uh will work with the uh the internet of toilets, which is what this is called It's a uh, it's called the internet of toilets. Uh, and it's a you know, there's a lot of things here There's virtual reality. There's uh, you know, there's the The guy with the little headset kind of showing it off that kind of stuff. So, uh as far as ces goes That's uh, that's going to be my big on my wish list. I think that's going to be great And of course I could not stop but draw some potty humorous I like I like a couple things about this love that he calls his Derriere a romp And I love the look of the guy who's introducing the Just to put them next to each other With his microphone, right? Right and just and just kind of smug about the whole thing Exactly Trying to capture that a little bit Listen folks, uh, if you're out of the audio podcast and you're like, wait, I need to see this or if you just want to have it for your own Uh, go check it out at lennparalta store.com and it was originally called the connected commode But I saw during the chat room, uh, I gosh, I wish I could see someone said the internet of toilets I thought that was a good joke. So uh, so it is now called the internet of toilets So can't wait. Good stuff else and chariden. Thank you so much for joining us the friday before ces. I know you're very busy Uh, so tell folks what you have going on these days. Well, probably the most fun. I've had recently was uh, rich straffolino Interviewed me for just so just alt it or is it just alt it? and the podcast it origins it's a It's an interview about my background in it because I did work with an honest job for 35 years And I kind of talk about the changes I've seen in it over the years and I I get a chance to rant on Some of my philosophies of how you shouldn't think if you're an it And uh, he was he was very patient to let me have my little rants And I it's just a little bit different thing doesn't really get into the podcast as much as my Former career. So I really enjoyed that and that is over at just alt it dot com Excellent a different take on pod feet. I like it There you go Hey, we're not just doing dts from ces. We'll also be live streaming from ces unveiled Showstoppers and digital experience in the evenings. So keep an eye out on our facebook page facebook.com Slash daily tech news show for that facebook live stream. Once again, that's at facebook.com slash daily tech news show Our email address is feedback at daily tech news show dot com We're live monday through friday at 4 30 p.m. Eastern 21 30 utc at alphakie radio dot com and diamond club dot tv And our email address is daily tech news show dot com We'll be back on monday live from unincorporated clark county at ces 2018 talk to that This show is part of the frog pants network get more at frog pants dot com Diamond club hopes you have enjoyed this bro I had a moment just now where I had to remind myself that i'm the one that makes that second part happen I was like now the diamond club thing happens. I'm like, oh, it doesn't happen if I I gotta do that I don't touch it. You know, it's funny if too many things are on autopilot and then One bit flips. You're just like, why did that happen? Yeah, I mean, you know, I I read our plug at the end of the show and at pretty much every show i'm always like Okay Like I know it by heart could could do it with my eyes closed but still yeah panic. No, that's funny titles you might like, um, we have uh The a name please flush iot the internet of toilet Oh, iot internet of toilets that one gets my vote.  Oh too many k's Alex is Alex Is a dog in series a cat Alex see smart. I like that. Good work crowd. All right. Who is that sp? Sheridan? Well done James bone 25 meltdown I think they put a bunch of the other ones in there to see how many times we would read them out loud toilets are gross You know, that's the thing I have with all this connected bathroom technology Not one of them addresses the sanitation. Are you sure? Have you seen all of them? All right, not all of them You have good quads and you hover And then you can just tell why don't you ever touch the toilet generation toilet that cleans itself? I like that's the grossest thing about the toilet is having a clean Roger like we don't know like all we've seen is this one smart toilet from color. Maybe it does clean itself I haven't even looked into that and I don't want any kind of bs uv light that supposedly cleans it No, I want something that squirts a bleach wait It has to have a physical brush to go around It's got to be that blue water the blue water. So, you know that it's gotta It's got to stick my eyes with bleach. So I know it's clean I don't want to get this conspiracy from big ultraviolet telling me Big uv Can you imagine if it's a self-cleaning toilet? I imagine that's going to come at a pretty high price point But what price what price is too high for hygiene? Yeah, if you've got multiple bathrooms That's you know, I mean I replacing toilets. I am with you Roger I think self-cleaning toilet, you know, like an automatically cleaning toilet with sensors and connectivity to tell when it needs to be cleaned I think selling point when I was a kid I imagined because I used to hate public restrooms I imagined there would be a system where you could seal the door I'm like now hang out and flood the entire room With hot boiling water and bleach and let it just soak and then they would just like do a little whirlpool And everything would drain back out No, nothing would cure my needs quicker than a gas station bathroom. Like oh don't need to go anymore. Fine Do you have any gloves? I need gloves. Oh, believe me. It's not just gloves Bleach for my eyes You know what? I'm just going to dig a hole next to the to the gas station here in the ground Yeah, all right, so iot internet of toilets is winning Winner. I like it I saw that and it made me change the name of the of the image. So no, I think that's yeah That's got to be it clear winner. You know, I did want I I didn't get in in the yellow light in time But uh my favorite iot device I have is a WiIMO switch that's hooked up to a hot water pump That connects to my water heater. So it gives me hot water when I need it So instead of I never have to run the faucet anymore So wow, that's cool So what so that's a great example of it doesn't have to be convenience where you're like Get my shower warm. That's using a sensor to just know like, okay. This is what it needs to be hot Yeah, well, yeah, so it's got it. It's it's a pump that pumps a column of hot water at certain times a day Uh-huh. Oh, you know at 6 30 in the morning to do that. Is that how it works? No, it's not AI Okay, but it's got I've got in the WiIMO switch. We've said from this time to this time turn on the pump from this time this time So it keeps a column of hot water because for some reason it was taking like two to three minutes For the water to get hot and knowing how much water we were wasting was driving us crazy Yeah, where you do you have lots of Plumbing like length of plumbing. Yeah. Yeah, I was real far away, but you don't need it It's not a recirculating thing. So it's not like a loop. You don't have to replumb. It was like a 200 dollar device Have you thought about giving the under sink? Where you replace the water here you just have a localized heater. Yeah, but this does it for 200 bucks It gets hot water everywhere all the time. I mean when I want it You don't have cold water anymore though Not gonna work. Well, it's lukewarm water, but how often do you need cold water out of a out of a faucet? Wait, why does it heat your cold water? So it's because it isn't a Because there isn't a circle for the hot water line There's a valve under the farthest sink from the from the water heater And that little valve when the temperature gets too low That valve opens and pushes the column of hot water into the cold water line But sometimes you do need cold water. Yeah, but then where's the relief for the line? It's not enough to Cause a problem. It's not like it forces it too bad. It's it works But I mean if you need everyone to run the water it spews out of all of the faucets in her house Comes out of the toilet Self-cleaning Ah, I will put a link to my article about this because it was one of my favorite things On potty.com, of course. Yeah, put that in there. It's the best thing ever I'm gonna log off. I forgot to mention this on the show But I did mention that on twitter the daily tech news show instant art collection version 4.0 Is now available in my store. It's the 10 best images from last year that I choose Pretend that you were picking the best images all year last year and showed off to your friends. That's right Oh, yeah, there's some good ones in there for sure. And it was hard. It was a tough one I was like, oh, I want to put this one in there But you know, there's some good images in there and it is and there are now four instant art collections So that's a lemper all to store too, right lemper all to store.com. Yeah, for sure God, can you imagine we've been doing this for four years?  I took both because I wouldn't better describe it ended up getting exactly the same My daughter took both But you got to get those college letters in decision time coming up at the end of this month Take our students so he doesn't stay here All right guys, we'll see you then are you going to log off the internet of toilets? I am I'm actually going to log on to the actual toilet Oh All right, thanks leg. Good. All right. Take care I shouldn't have done that but I couldn't resist Um get it Uh Yeah Well, I'm about to record security bits with bar blue shots where I think we have something to talk about this week Oh, well, that's so I might that is not unusual. You too always Yeah, this week might be a long one. If you're ready show. I don't know Slow news. Yeah, it seems like it's really dry. You should I just skip until next week skip. Yeah Yeah, good plan. Good plan. It is nice to get to do it Uh shortly, you know a little while after these things break Yeah, because I'm always thinking oh god, I wish I'd part on today and boy you wait a couple of days You don't sound nearly as dumb. Well, one of that's one of the things that was so Harrowing about this week was you know, I did that long explainer about uh, the the you know, the What became known as meltdown before it was meltdown and I'm like, oh my gosh They're coming out with more information everything I said yesterday is going to turn out to be wrong and luckily I was relying on peter bright for my information and he's a genius And so it was like, oh, okay. This is all now you're seeing The uh, what what is it? I keep forgetting What it is the The predictive whatever Oh, uh, uh, branch prediction. No, no Speculative execution speculative execution. I'm seeing that headlines now So I'm like, oh, okay. So we we lucked into it. That's good It's it's all back to the design philosophy of the chips. They wanted faster speeds. So they figured well, you know But you know, it wasn't irresponsible. It wasn't Faster speeds of the securities damn be damned. It was somebody just figured out how to exploit the timing of it Well, I'm not saying that you know, it was uh reckless or anything I just know you know that security wasn't the overriding concern when they were developing the chips I don't know if that's even fair. I I I don't think they expected I think they probably they're always thinking about security, but I don't think they expected Well, I mean kind of vulnerability and and the fact is anytime Someone finds a vulnerability. They find it in a place that nobody else expected it That's that's kind of the that's the game. And so I I'm I'm I'm leading the campaign to like Stop blaming people for Anyone I think you're jumping the gun on my comment What I'm saying is when they designed it that they did not They did not envision it being a security flaw in the way that it has been There you go. That's a better phrasing. Yeah, I mean just in the same way that You know Firewire is a security hole For most laptops or machines that use them because of the way it was designed It's because it was not people weren't thinking that you know, but that's I guess all I would say is that's every security flaw like nobody thought it was a security flaw when they Enabled it or they wouldn't have they wouldn't have built.  All right. Thanks. Alison. Bye. I'll see you guys on Tuesday. Happy Friday. See you in big Person. All right. Bye Bye I also gave her the invite to the meetup Well, everybody has the invite to the meetup. Everyone has an invite to the meetup or meetup invite. Yeah, thank you Uh, I am going to Stop the broadcast. Okay, so we can do last minute Uh, last minute scheming. Yes. All right So long everyone. See you guys from CES. Yeah from Clark County


morning after a decent night's kip it is it's just chilled out a little bit now but it's been pissing it down it's all us a bit of a nightmare getting out of bed when you're when it's raining and I was just thinking then to myself I sometimes I get signals and I'll post a little photo on Instagram and I was looking at the photos I was like actually look it looks idyllic like I'm just having a real relaxed time of my life you do but you don't see the blisters and the ticks and the midges and the rain and the wind and then you know all the other stuff you just don't see it here and that's in the subgram I guess but yeah the thought of putting like wet socks on and getting out there where it is just brutal it's a long day today so I might as get my head down and just get it done get the miles done right let's get up and get on with it when I use half of it for one of my meals because I'm bonking and then half of it I'm gonna have a cup of coffee as well and I'm gonna push on it's been one of the hardest days so far I'm not doing much filming because it's just been pissing it down with rain but I've put the miles in today and I'm gonna have this I have something to eat and a coffee the cloud I still pretty bleak up there but it's not it stopped raining so I'm gonna push on maybe see if I could even do a 25 mile day today yeah I've not been doing much of this today because it's too much rain and my head had gone I just put my head down and get on with it but I've made good time and I'm gonna keep going I'm gonna do a long I'm just gonna keep going till it gets dark don't know what that means for tomorrow it it just means the next couple of days are easier days if I put a shift in today and then I can see the finish line I reckon I'm gonna do it I reckon I'm gonna get there unless I fall over or something mad I think I can handle the pain of my feet it hurts but I can handle it I can handle me knee just kicking my ass today I was Scotland real talk but yeah I'm bonking a little bit a bit of food I'm gonna have a strong coffee yeah and then baton and baton hopefully rain holds off for a little bit now it's dried up see you vegetable hot pot yes please this is gonna give me a second week of third wind I'm not gonna do two sections in one day but if I can do a section and a half especially these two these two are big sections as well then I'm but I'm made up then did I tell you the the mini but they mini bus isn't running from the lighthouse so I've got one I get once I get to the end of there's still an 11 mile hike to the to the foot not feeling talking to you lot of afraid today's kicked my ass you can see why people tap out I'll say that for now and I'll be honest with you the thought of tapping out today was so tempting so tempting me just a thought of like oh let's just tap out can't do it you know the old footsie was hurting a little bit and weather was terrible and I fell over twice and both were just there was no dignity in it really I made a little noise I only think it was a little noise I think it was more of a whale like that and you go down you man down right do you know what I shouldn't really I told myself I won't just come on here just to complain because negativity it spreads and was out when I was there when I served in the yeah when I was in the power rangers we would it was at zero negativity because it spreads throughout the ranks even if things are shit you're just stiff up a lip it's good we're rocking let's go because it you know negativity breeds negativity and now which is one of the reasons why I haven't been speaking to the camera because I didn't want to be just log on and be like this is a cat do it I'm struggling anyway but here I go I'm doing it now when you have these on you have you have these this bit like wrapped around your wrist like that and I've dropped it bending down so I just I sort of slipped and went down in my these these are stuck in ground these are stuck in ground and I sort of went down like that but my arms are still like half in knees and just look like some Mads Scarecrow like that you know I mean like that blub bit lip was going killed me mate killed me and so I when I was going over these gnarly bits I just ditched the hoops and then so second fall was just a it was a sleep and then I just sort of gave up and like rolled a little bit because we bag on and stuff you just it is what it is just like they're feeling like an absolute idiot look around is anyone looking no because there's no one for miles so yeah today's been a kick in the dick I've probably done over 20 miles feeling like I would love to go in the woods there but we you for how wild and wonderful the Hines of Scotland is there's not a great deal of woodland camps to be had because it's a lot of these plantations so everything's just crammed so close together and it's so dangling it's so wet right I need to deploy my Scarecrow support units because many hurts when I'm going down hill so there you one last look cute mate so you what being on tarmac is savage yeah I should remember when I was doing all that optimistic waving to people that's gone on it that's gone out my system is hello no no I should I maybe cheer me up now I let you see him go past so so you make of it look to have them on a bike yeah wave mate yes I did it and it did cheer me up there you go yeah it's the little things in it just the soles of my feet just feel like they're gonna well I don't know who cares anyway I feel fine you know what you're gonna be feeling a bit like that I've been since other pull-offs putting some serious days man they're on the 20 mile mark every day over 20 miles today easy so this will be the penultimate night and then my last night will be on the beach and I'm just gonna go for it man go for it because what am I saving like you know I started off and I had that second day where I was a bit you know I stopped about two or three o'clock because I thought I don't want to burn myself out it's early on but now what am I preserving myself for now now leave it all out here empty tank just leave it all out here man there's nothing there is no point in doing short days now there's no point in preserving my self or whatever it's just have it man let's have it and then we can start to dare to dream dare to look forward to stuff look forward to seeing loved ones look forward to hot running water look forward to different styles of food my own bed oh working even I like to be doing work and be busy with that sort of stuff all of it man is that stag cause it's a stag where do you think you are it's a stag with a salmon jumping over its head anyway I'm just chatting to you lot for a little bit because road walking is just cat right let's get it's utilized my scarecrow's there's a cross like a stone cross on that little island just I was looking for somewhere all down that road and there was a few okay places but I kept saying I'll keep going I'll find somewhere better and now I'm all over here and roads over the other side at River I came down there round passes Lodge and now I mean getting into the zone where it's like bog how wet it is oh bog so I don't know what's gonna happen got me a torch which I've not used the whole trip actually might have to do a bit of night hiking if it comes to it but I got to stop soon anyway because my feet are going to explode keep going keep going keep going I got a bit of signal over there so just saying on my stories like I'm losing it man when you start doing dad gags I was just telling everyone about the time I was in a reggae band in the like mid I played triangle for reggae band back in the mid 2000s a summer and they're just saying like I had to leave after a couple of weeks he was just wanting after another hey and that's the sort of thing you do when you're you know you're at your wit's end you talk to sheep you interact with dead animals verbally not physically and you do the odd dad gag which I know I'm not normally one for me jokes but there's a joke for you I say yeah my another joke is this not being able to find a campsite my feet are a joke there's no punchline just yet let's get somewhere let's just be positive come on stop grumbling what about there what about there just sodden our feet just got stopped absolutely knackered today was a long day the longest of all the days I'm finishing strong I still feel pretty strong you know it nearly broke me at times but especially this morning but we're finishing strong and we're having some posh pork and beans I don't know how you can make beans and pork posh just what just open it up and put a monocle on it or something buy it a horse I don't know let's give it a give it a go man so hungry that's good that that's the nicest one of these fire pots and that's here when you got one left one meal left one I've got one night after tonight I've got one meal left I'm probably not gonna have it because tomorrow near the end of the day we go past a a lund like a I go past a shop and I believe a fish and chip shop so if that's the case you can stick your camping meal I'll be going all in at shop on sweets I've got my marina wool leggings and me down pants and pièce de resistance me down tough socks I use my other ones to hiking today I had two pairs of down toughs that I was gonna rotate and just wear at camp and today I just thought I couldn't face putting my freezing cold wet marina sock liners on just couldn't face it I'm gonna get some well-earned rest mate I'll see you on the next one ciao for now morning glampers I'm all packed up tents just gotta go away it's quarter seven getting an early one oh man and first few steps are just brutal I did about 26 miles yesterday didn't in a full marathon yesterday so feet are gonna take some working up a bit that's nice clouds just covering the tops of the mountains there not a bad little setup everywhere was just so boggy and then as I was coming along the track bang just this whatever whether being just maybe using it to turn around in vehicles or whatever it is I'm grateful of it he's mad I've carried this all the way from home no I got it in Fort William actually I got it in Fort William because I forgot mine I had one at home and I forgot to pack it and then luckily in Fort William in Morrison's in Fort Williams they had one exactly the faith I needed bit dented freezing cold maybe get to the lighthouse about 10 or 11 o'clock and then I'm gonna crack it open and then I've got to walk the 11 miles to the ferry fueled on one can of faith probably not a good idea but I'm gonna do it anyway it's not raining it's that's a bonus this morning I picked a couple of whopping ticks off me I'd worn on me hip that was just itching me all night and I didn't I kept ditching anything that's not can't be a tick that it'll be where me packs been rubbing and I couldn't see but I used my little hand mirror and low and behold tick flare just suckling on my blood I've D ticked to the best of my knowledge my gate is bust again I don't have any more spare bands for me Gator but we're so near okay so the track peels off to the right but you can see that lock down there in the distance I want to be on the side of that lock so it's gonna be off-road nice the beauty look so don't get caught out you think oh well I'll just keep following this path round but you've got to just go off-road across this boggy pathless zone let's feet wet already at least I've got a visual on where I need to be so you know I don't need to set a bearing or look at the map necessarily it just that's where I need to be and as much as just picking the best route you can to get there not a breath of wind and no rain which makes a difference yesterday which is a joy as well every day it's not raining it's a good day it's like a computer game mate we've got to jump from one thing to another otherwise that's full-length the mastic and look it's still going still going I got well I'll swallow the whole thing mate and that's up to my that's up to my chest and it was still going so you don't you know it's serious stuff like a couple with the fact that there is no path is where I'm going just hugging the side of this all the way around this lock hopefully join on to a track at some point or a bit more a bit more warning hey look little fishy moved there like on the map where it's just little red dots means well there's just little red dots it means there is no you know it's there's no path but I guess the more as time goes on and the more people that do it then little red dots will eventually become little red dashes and you know as the popularity of these sort of trails grows and I'm sure you know me making these videos is going to contribute to a few of them little red dots becoming red dashes and you know it's all good but it is a bit of a I mean it's still hard even if all you know even if there wasn't any pathless sections but I I imagine that in maybe you know a few years time ten years time I don't think I reckon you'll be able to tell where you're going just by following other people's foot tracks at least look should we draw some on here and not what you think there you go seeing some lovely fish jumping in the log and but this is when I say when I say it gets to be a path this is it not much of a path and it is pretty boggy and slippy so it's straightingly slow going I've come through here the other lock is on that side and you come through and it's just the same again same again and that it's the first time I've got proper angry I like slipping over and just couldn't get a rhythm going I was cursing it curse you keep rough trail oh and you get over there and it's just repeating it repeater crouch right just hit the road out glad glad to be seeing the back of that particular stretch nearly ended me mate nearly ended me not quite though not quite still going strong it's cop shop look gonna go nan me sending sorry sorry officer there's been a murder I've just murdered that last bit of trail there's the boat working there I'm guessing their muscles muscle farms yeah speaking of muscle farms mate you what yeah mate you want get your boat up here mate get on your net getting cocky Anna getting cocky because I'm near a shop where I can get some sweets four miles of this foot busting gear and we're there aimlessly meandering and I looked to my left I was like that's a bit that's a big lock it's the big blue look at size of it I mean some of these locks I've seen I've been like well that's pretty big impressive but yeah she is man the big blue you can't deny it beautiful beautiful there's a little boat coming into harbour as well stunning mate I wonder what visibility is like onto the track to Sandwood Bay there has been a man tell you what I said I'll wait till I get back from holiday and this is a holiday by the way I've booked this off I'm self-employed so I've taken I'll take a hit to do this because he's what I love anyway I said to myself I'll wait until I've done this before I get my haircut all through COVID the last lockdown I thought we'll keep it wild until I get back to civilization and I'll get reborn it's snipped all right that's where's your mom where's your mom gone lads hey there's your mommy you're alright I think that's the lighthouse don't in the far today anyway I might have to cut come at it with a fresh pair of noggin bollocks tomorrow there's no way I'm making it at lighthouse today no way mate I mean too much pain your feet are runies hurting me a little bit too much fatigued and it's killer what's killing me as well is the thought of so there is no boat and that well there's no minibus is running from the lighthouse so I'm contemplating having to just get to lighthouse and then come back all over this all of this track and all over the bog that I'm gonna do tomorrow which is a fair old whack I won't have the single minded goal of getting to the lighthouse will have dissipated tomorrow once I get there it's done in it once I get that's that lighthouse mate I just want to I just literally want to like as stiff as a board like I've been sparked just like that just fall and I want someone to put a bed underneath me I'm landing that bed and then I just want to be carried around for the next week fed grapes and stuff like that chocolate that's all get quick photo at lighthouse yeah I've done it and then boom collapse duvet over my head like they do to a corpse where they sort of just push that they pull blanket up over head or solemnly I want that to be done but I want it to be done with a duvet there he is leaving there and I will rest in peace thank you very much this man now another seas just over there and down to the left but I'm absolutely zonked and this looks just let me show you get down nice I've got going here now give myself a a boost and just have a wash and just rest my feet in the cold water water I've got there now taken 13 days the grimness is having to put these wet wet kegs on from other day when I was in river these have just become the swimming kegs absolutely beautiful say what mate if there was enough room here to pitch a tent I'd stay there's the sea see the sea and you won't be able to see this mate I don't know why I'm even bothering top of my thing there right on that bit of land is the lighthouse beautiful look at it no abandoned building there huge lock there's the sea oh man delightful see looks a bit choppy to go in so I'm glad I went for a swim in that lock I was just speaking to a couple and they saying they said it took them five hours and it's all there's no path it's pretty boggy all that similar stuff but they were coming from the lighthouse this way and it was their first day so maybe they don't know I don't know how mad it can get and maybe a bit more battle-hardy I'll find a place maybe amongst the dunes or against this plateau on this the side of this cliff bit here but look at it man it's very small it's stunning fruity juicy and fresh I have kept the faith for so long this is the last maybe I should drink it here because it's my last night this is my last night on the Cape Wrath trail so maybe I will have it if I chin it at the lighthouse it might mean might make it a bit harder to get back what a glorious place to do such a thing I can hear that for a view man got my bread bags on I'm just gonna go down to this I'll definitely be filtering this like this is like it's come down from tops on it comes through everything because I know that I've not drank enough water today I'm starting to feel a little bit queasy definitely dehydrated so I'll get these two liters and smash them down tonight right so it's been a couple of days my money my last night now I genuinely can hardly remember what I've been doing his last couple of days it's all a big blur oh man what the hell where did I go from did it did it did it all way down here I don't know so I camped down here somewhere and then went out here hit this road it to the it was a nightmare I'm gonna be honest an absolute nightmare from start to finish it was just so rainy so just horrible and all the way up here this is a nightmare coming around here all the all difficult and they're up onto nine and this is where it joins on to the other path this is all so boggy so boggy the terrain is just slow hard going it means stunning don't get me wrong it is it is it is beautiful all but it's all been beautiful but when it's hard and when Ed's not in it it's hard around this lock and then I went instead of going into it I was like right let's make a move for it I went up here this was just it's all track but so steep man that was a killer got up here and along came down here through this plantation it's all been sort of cut down most of it and then hit the dreaded road and I thought right because by time I was up road I'd done a bit of road work where they go here come around here by the time I got about here I was done for I thought I'd have a look along here and it was just one of them like I'll keep going keep going I'll find somewhere couldn't really find anywhere crossed over here to this lodge and then on on wood and then I started to panic I was like oh no I mean this back in this like bog zone I'm not gonna get anywhere to camp but there was a little bit where the vehicles obviously turn around here and so I got in there for tonight and that's that one done at the risk of letting all the bugs in I've just opened I'm keeping door open and I've opened that side as well because it's just too nice it's too glorious man look at that I'm just being spoiled with my last night my last night on the Cape Wrath trail I was so lucky because it's really exposed here so if this was if the weather decided to turn you get your ass handed to you I think this is an amazing way to go out on it as well it's lovely sunset lovely evening and I know tomorrow is gonna be hard and it will be you know it's been a goal for a good few years to do this trail and I'll feel good when I get to that lighthouse despite having I'm not even thinking about what I've got to do after the lighthouse that's not even gonna I'm gonna get to that lighthouse I'm gonna chin that I'm gonna chin that northern Monk can regardless I look forward to it because you know I didn't I wasn't drinking leading up to you know leading up to come in here and I didn't drink and I even my when my boy came up in his car and sketched out me and he had a can of ale I didn't take it I've had chances to have drinks but just haven't taken them I'm gonna wait earn your beer earn your beverage I feel like this would be a good place to leave it to like leave it here wouldn't it this would but this is like the perfect end could I leave it here or would I always remember would I kick myself and not going to lighthouse so I suppose from here walking back like there's no taxi or anything from here I'd have to walk back into town and that's that's like four hours it's the same sort of distance but now what am I on about you've got to go to the lighthouse aren't you what am I on about Jesus getting all caught up some rest in my feet and it's like nice in this nice looking at that I'm like oh let's just end it here it's the perfect end to a mad mad hike tough tough as old boots tough hike what beautiful Brutiful is what I've called it brutal and beautiful brute the Cape Wrath trail Brutiful Brutiful murdered anyway we'll have a look at this sunset if it if it starts to if it kicks off when it gets to her to her eyes and I'll let you have a little look here we go then so right what I'm on map map of shango map you let it see a map map you make on here map Morgan mappy Gilmore mapton map map map map map map map map demon right woke up here let's get a wriggle on dad a camp there cuz there wasn't that many camp spots and there was one here but there's someone on there so I'm glad I'm glad anyway plowed on plowed on this was like such a nightmare it's all off-road boggy like honestly if you go up to where you're going up to your neck in some of these bogs so deep and then along the side of here was just it was frustrating me couldn't get a good pace it was just stopping start kept slipping and not good on ankles and to here there was a river crossing here that was a quite a big one actually and imagine that in a that gets pretty pretty hectic maybe even passable at times so that was fun did that cracked on dreaded road got to the dreaded road what to be a past that police station just road work road work road work went to this old London stores I tell you what if you get chance do stop in there it's an old shop he's just got bits and pieces but such a lovely odd bloke and it was really nice I tried to give him a tip I was like I don't need change mate you can have it and he's like right well take another one of them chocolate bars it was a fully nice odd bloke in there so if you get the chance to stop in please please do and I kept going where did I go from here I went down here for some reason I went down there round the map said to go that way but I just went this way around the road and then I mean my legs my feet were just killing me by now because it was too much road work whatever this road was it's a single track road it's not it's not very busy it's only people coming to to the end of here like so not very busy but a road nonetheless nice views looking backwards I'll give it that to the car park and then over the track anyway as we go it was a lovely day today and real nice scenery round here which lock did I go and I think yeah this one here I went for a little swim in here just to soothe my bones and just to soothe my body and freshen up a little bit over here and then once you get to it's such a lovely view to see the sea it was absolutely stunning with this lock as well all through here just lovely it's a lovely change of scenery yeah I really enjoyed it along the beach and I'm on I came past there up here I'm on this little nab where the tip of my knife is I think there that's where I am and tomorrow it's all dots look so there's no there's no path it's just and I met a couple on the way back I got chatting to them and they said it taking them like five hours to do so we're just gonna have to dig deep all along this moorland and you do hit a track there for the little last little bit and then that you're at the finish now then once I'm at the finish I'm gonna try and see if I can blag someone to just give us a lift if not I'll have to just walk it I'm tempted to eat I'll even walk back all the way back to wherever so I can get a lift or I'll walk this track here which is 11 miles this black track and that takes me to to there and then there's a ferret there's a boat that takes you across here and I could get picked

President Mohamed Buhari on Friday instructed the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Baba, to quickly tackle the menace of insecurity in the country and reduce it to a minimal level. This came after the police council, made up of the president, vice president, governors, ministers of police affairs, interior and federal capital territory, confirmed unanimously Baba as the substantive police boss. Recall that President Buhari had on April 6th this year announced Usman Baba as the acting Inspector General of Police. Baba was a deputy Inspector General of Police before the council confirmed his new appointment. And Mr. President used that opportunity to congratulate him for this appointment and to call on him to ensure that the confidence that Nigerians have to pose in him is not left to waste that he should work up to the challenge and ensure that the security lunges that this country is facing are brought to the barest minimum. Like the government minister said, I had briefed the council on the state of security in the nation and I started by saying what is actually threat to national security as it is now. Ranging from or coming from all the six geopolitical zones, there are peculiarities. Like I said, what we have in the southeast and the part of the south-south is the issue of successionist agenda championed by I-POP. I also talk about the issue of terrorism and religious bigotry in the north-east particularly. I've also been able to brief council on recovery, rescue of victims or kidnapped victims and what we are doing to secure the school children that are being kidnapped and how to go about securing those that are still going to the school.
