Welcome to the Touch Surgery interactive app on Maxillary Sinus Anatomy and Maxillary Sinus Augmentation. I'm Mike Newman. I'm a professor emeritus at UCLA, and I'm the Dentistry Advisor to Touch Surgery. Our current Maxillary Sinus simulation covers the anatomy of this area in depth. Clinicians, students, and residents will be able to review the key points of the Maxillary Sinus Anatomy step by step, and then you'll be able to test yourself and verify your understanding of this critically important area. With the inclusion of real clinical data, you'll be able to apply what you've seen in the simulation to your own clinical experiences. The simulation has been authored by a group we've had a lot of experience in teaching and learning and who are in the clinics daily. The thorough understanding of the anatomy is critical prior to performing any surgical procedure. Touch surgery is well suited where we are dealing with complex anatomy and delicate structures that are difficult to master from conventional educational resources. When we move into the surgical arena, we don't have any tools that are giving us an opportunity to practice the procedure before we're actually doing it. Touch surgery is able to bring interactive learning in front of our students and residents and support the most complex procedures. Having this Touch surgery module is an invaluable resource, provides an opportunity to learn, to practice, to rehearse. Having this terrific reference and training tool will help provide safe surgery.

I was a guy that was trying to get everyone to like Something that wasn't authentic. I don't think I was like I think I was I think there was a level of authenticity In what I was doing, but I don't think I I think I was more worried about upsetting people and making them like me Then I was doing what I wanted to do and what I thought was funny and I think all my favorite comics are That I've grown up loving always Are themselves in an authentic way like Through their sense of humor like this is what I find funny. Yeah, I didn't feel like I was doing that I didn't feel like I was doing that at all. What was the people pleaser?  I didn't want anyone to be mad at me. I didn't want anyone I didn't want to what it was as I was incapable of putting up boundaries of being like I Need I can't do this because I need time for myself Like a lot. Yeah. Yeah, it's the I realized three weeks ago that my needs are great. Yeah Literally three weeks ago, you know, I'm going through something that just happened today.  Yeah, it's like yes a nine-year-old. Yeah, is you're like, oh, can Mike I don't need a babysitter. All right, or we have a babysitter for yeah, you're like, so I she does in home care I don't let her just go like raw dog.   I mean, that's a real sure go get tested.  Of course I do Yeah, I don't talk to him, but my grandmother's 96 and My you know her my whole family that my dad's eyes all dead. So I'm the only one that is there. I take care of her And I've been that's her side.  Very hard to get to it's like three hours north of San Francisco Party of condition for the money. I'll send the money, but you gotta live in a real I need you to go to a Real hard you need to get away a real sad place a real Springsteen lyric of a town and She fell yesterday and hit her head and needed stitches And then they sent her home and I was like don't send her home because I think we're in the process of now she's got to go to a facility and She hit her head they gave her two staples and then last night as I'm going to bed Just right just the idea of giving your grandmother staples.  She's not gonna heal. She has no idea what's going on You call her the old apple from now on the old app all the old Apple fell Well, then they brought her home from the hospital and her neighbor called me She fell getting out of the car and they think broke her hip.  There's no way to be the it's that competitions impossible It's a weird thing with my dad's family where my grandmother never really gives praise But then she will at the last moment. She'll hit a buzzer beater And she'll be like, I love you you do a great job and you're like, okay But she'll let it go till you're like there's no oxygen in the tank anymore And then she'll be like, I love you. Thank you for doing that You're like, all right.  It's kind of the thing you have to do now if you put her it's kind of a tough love thing No, that's that's exactly it. It was like kind of working up the thing to be like, okay Well, now she doesn't have say she she like fell twice. So now it's just like well now there's evidence It's like you're arguing a court case against her. Yeah, but she's not there completely and she's mad at you for what you're saying Yeah, but it's a weird thing. I never would have guessed that Old people wouldn't want to go to a I mean, I guess it's obvious But my mom didn't want to go to a retirement home because she didn't want to deal with the social aspect and I was like You'd I she's the nice one of my parents. I was like, you don't want to deal with the social aspect Yeah, I thought I got all this from him. Yeah, turns out you're a monster also Yeah, and my grandmother, you know It took it took a while for me to grant to really realize that my grandmother is you know Everybody's a human and which means they have good and bad qualities and my whole life.  Go ahead. Yeah, and then now you realize you're like, oh She let my father abandon two families, you know, she like let him drink himself to death There was a lot of shit that she did where I was like, yeah Starting to see the other side real quick and it's there is this feeling of like Release knowing I don't have to be perfect for her or like This this idea of like yeah, I can tell her you're going to a home And that's okay That doesn't make me less of a grandson that doesn't make me less of a family member to be like we got to put you in a home I know you don't want to do it. Look she doesn't fall again out of the car She bought herself three more months. She stays home. It really is it's a career. I'm injury sweetheart You're out. You're on IR. We got to put you on the list We got to see if the if you can get insurance for your contract. You can't even yeah We put you here. She's Alan Houston and I was yeah, dude And I was giving her like the Derek Rose where I was like you blew one knee.  Yeah Yep, so it's uh that happened last night and so now it's just like this morning. I'm just dealing with that like Calling the hospital to be like how bad is it? Well, you have to go wherever she is no, I'll uh I think the hospital will transport her to a Home, but will you know what home? Oh, I'll have to pay for it. Well, you've heard it or you'll just yeah I'll have to approve it. I'll have to do all that.  It's uh, it's It's one of those things where it's like I can handle it Via satellite in a way zoom it. Yeah, I'll zoom I'll give me a zoom to her Oh, okay, and that's where but she's like 96 and the cognitive ability is just rapidly declining So it's like a sad thing where you're like, we're at the end We're at the end, but the part that makes me feel bad is There's a part of me that's like, what do you hold it on for?  Yeah, I see her once a year at Thanksgiving She goes to bed at 5 p.m. Wakes up at 11 a.m. Naps in between then There's really not a lot of like she's not getting a lot done. It's a sticker.  She's from Oklahoma.   I took her to a 49ers game when she was like 87 Right before they left candlestick park and it was It was a ordeal to get her To the stadium into the seats. This is when she was like, this was nine years ago. My mom came to my show This year and fill it. I mean 89s old. Yeah, she had hurt her hip making her bed It's like that's where that's where she is. Do you remember when you were 11 and you would fall off a house? Yeah, then you would be like I sprained my wrist. Yes, and then now they're like a wind Cause it's like that normie donald joker. He talks about that bruise and he's like a large bruise big bruise And it was caused by the wind the wind You're like, yeah, that's it's crazy.  I ever did I don't think she knew what I did But I would send her money and then now it's the end and now she's like, well now I want to see it Look, I watched your county central presents. I didn't love it. I love it. The joke you did about me It could have had more tags. Okay, so the people pleasing me. What are you afraid? What were you afraid of rejection? Just basic rejection. Yeah, I mean my dad my dad left and Didn't wasn't a part of my life And I think when what that does to a kid when you're when your dad just splits is it's the ultimate rejection Because you're half him. Sure.  Yeah, you're rejecting your own product Yeah, she made me motherfucker. Yeah, and then now you're just gone. You don't call when you do you're like, ah, sorry I forgot I forgot the call and you're and so I think it just creates this you assume it's your fault Always, yeah, and it's not.  I know the reason he left He stole money from my mom. He did a bunch of better son. He found a better son. I wish that I wish I would have met some kid who's like, hey, man I'm roger a little better looking a little taller I'll start quarterback. Yeah, Gary was there every day. I'm like, yeah, I got it. I go. I'm glad he did I'm glad he found you. I'm glad he had you. Yeah, but it was I think it was the form of rejection that And then my mom Dated when I was a kid and I think what that does is it's like Oh, I'm not enough for her even right Like she's got to go find a new social life because there was in the moment where she was like, we're cool I love you. Is it okay if I go date? She was just kind of like, hey, this is bill He he stays with us now and you're like Hey, buddy Yeah, I'm the I'm a child. So I don't know what you are or who you are So it's like this weird feeling of like, um, nobody wants you. Yeah, you're not good enough Yeah, I remember watching this documentary about Kurt Cobain and he like his mom didn't want him to live with him So she sent him to his dad's and his dad's like, I don't want you to live with me Yeah, like live in the basement and it just created this and I was like for the first time I was like, oh, I it wasn't that bad, but I know that feeling I know that feeling of like, yeah, no one wants you And I know my mom loves me now that I'm an adult we have a much better relationship Was there any sense of freedom from it or was it you didn't want it? It was constant anxiety of what did I do wrong? I did something wrong. Yeah Because your parents are supposed to be there You know, I grew up in the suburbs And I'm around people where oh my dad is going to take me to soccer practice and then my mom is like Going to cook me cupcakes and we're going to remember it and like what and you're like, oh Yeah, maybe you get molested I mean, dude If I would have that would have to think had a much more focal point of like and this is where I'm like, man I just want to uncover one.  I got rejected by perverts There was even a like a form of rejection of not getting molested We're like, oh man, but there was a thing of like just this feeling of like, oh, I'm not good enough for anybody to To stay in my life and that's when my sister my half sister came in my life And really was like, hey, you're cool, man.    They're they're wild They're just feral.  How old was she at this point? I was 10. She was 22 great So she was kind of coming in. She was her own person. Yeah, she was like, you know what I mean? Yeah, she was another young adult that was just kind of like, yeah, you're a good kid Don't worry about any of this. Yeah, stay being you. What do you like? I was like, I like comic books and stand-up comedy and she was like, let's watch stand-up comedy What do you want to watch? Who do you want to watch?  Great.  I think from 10 60 and did you ever turn up? Did it make you think of the adults in a different way? It made me feel like I had a teammate Yeah, so it made me feel like oh Oh, I could call her whenever I go visitor. I go stay with her and she lived in riverside So I'd go stay in riverside with her for like a week And we just like kick it and she'd be like south park was coming out and I was super into it and she was like Oh, well, let's go. It was like video stores. Yeah, she's like, let's go rent videos like what you like mel brooks Let's go watch mel brooks. Let's watch. So it was a very like She was very like, what are your interests? Let's go to your interests and no one had ever asked before No Everyone was like, ah, you're watching professional wrestling again or like my mom's boyfriend would be like The 49ers because I was the only connection I had with my dad was through the 49ers.  Let's let's do what you like we can do that. Yeah, like tell me music you like so it was awesome It was like I think that That I think saved me from it being a lot worse. Yeah, you you need like a ally Yeah, or somebody that basically says like you're not crazy, you know when my dad died when I was 14 She was there to kind of be like, yeah, we knew this was going to happen. Like it's okay. What did you think? When you've heard I saw I saw it coming. He got sick. He had alcoholism. So I saw it like which man Get a cirrhosis. He had a hep C that turned into cirrhosis. How does that you just they start feeling bad and looking back?  And so my mom sat me down. She's like, listen We have enough money. I can either send you out to see him one last time or you can go to his funeral What do you want to do? And I was like, I'll go see him and my sister had not talked to him since she was 16 and she was 26 at the time and she was like All I'll go out there with you and she wouldn't make peace with him and stayed by his side until he died Was he apologetic? Did he hit a buzzer? Did he hit a buzzer beater? I don't know. I think he did with you though. No, no buzzer beater. No dribbled out He rolled the ball He just heard the buzzer and you're like, fuck, there was the red around the hood.   Like could you have though?   I loved you.  So Yeah, so when I would see him it would be a blast every time So I wanted it to be like, dude, you were so fun. You couldn't have dad it a little You couldn't have given me one or two dad things Jay, you think you would have said that? I think I would have said something like that When was the last dad thing you guys did?  I mean When I saw him when I was 14, he was so sick. He couldn't get off the couch He was like dying on the couch when I was 12 He was kind of like my aunt sent me out there as a surprise And he was like full alcoholic boat mode He lived on a boat. Well, he lived near a lake. So it was lake people. What is it with lakes and dirtbags? It's unbelievable. It is. It's like the ocean's too classy. It is. They're like, ew changing tides I need stale water. That's that's dead But I went out there and it was like an annoyance. He was like, uh, I got the kid What do you want? You know and he was like I stayed with him and his girlfriend and her kids and it just was like For how long? Like two weeks and I was just like, dude, this is so I gotta say everything you've told me about your childhood.   It was like I was angry. I was and I didn't but I was angry in the way of like I wasn't I had a mom that she would tamper that down.    He needed a father That's the one with uh, De Niro and De Caprio It's De Niro and De Caprio, it's De Caprio's first lead And it's there's a moment in the movie that I still like De Caprio because of Where they basically like are free. Yeah, and De Caprio does like Like sort of I might have to watch it now. It's like in the last 15 minutes. Yeah, he just does a thing That's so what you do.  I was like Oh I told chappell to watch this boy's life and it I was like it's real and he thought I was kidding when he watched it Like what do you what is this? Yeah, I was like, no, that's just kind of how it went down. White angst Yeah, this is what we're going for. This is where papa wrote so much attention Well, and there's not gonna be any marches for what the white kids are going to Just know that we're we have our own problem. Yeah, we have we have a form of suburban anxiety or just anger in a weird way, but it really like Yet when I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to be myself a lot. I had to be For my mom I had to be like a good soldier. Yeah, right. That was the feeling like be a good soldier Yeah, soldier through this be good And then I was like mad because I was like I felt rejected So I was being a good soldier, but then I also felt like Well, I'm not getting any of the benefits of like good job at a boy.

That was like I loved it so much that when I started stand-up I was like, I cannot fail at this and I think that's failing at stand-up as a part of it Like remember how I was telling you I was doing jokes that I didn't think were yeah It was because I wasn't willing to fail To do the stuff that I wanted to do Like I would do something that I liked and it wouldn't work I want I want I won't I won't touch that again. Yeah instead of being like no no no Yeah, there is something here And then now that's kind of how I approach all my stand-up. It's pretty embarrassing Yeah, because you're like This is funny and then well, it's just embarrassing when you're like When you have portions that work and portions that don't and you don't know why they don't that's the hard part Right, but you don't know why you're like I was telling somebody you write a bit and it's got like six jokes in it And then three of them work and then that becomes the joke But you never forget about the six-bit version Absolutely, and you'll always be a little pissed that you couldn't get the six-bit version Out to the people. Yeah, I went and saw Colin Quinn run his hour And I was talking to him after and we were talking about when friends give you a line And then that line hits the hardest and then you're on stage and you're like I don't even want to do this line anymore. This isn't my line But they don't know they have no idea. They have no idea. But if you're the real ones start to think it's theirs If you're a real G you just go. Oh, this is my You just if you're really crazy enough, I just get to the point where you go I've got it. Uh, I've got it.  This isn't even me. That's not even me That was Shane Shane gave me that line.  So there's like this weird like I've got to do this, but I'm also like I can't fail at this And then once I started accepting failure and being like, yeah, it's just you fail. So what dude? Like it's not the end of the world panning for gold. Yeah, it's not it's it's just there's just a high It's cooking a tradition rate. Sometimes dishes are going to come out Not the way. Yeah, because the oven was a little too hot or something. You're like, you just let it go Yeah, cook the next thing No I know it's like imagine going to the to the plate of a restaurant if you're the chef And you're like, I can do this better and they're like, I just want to eat it.  Yeah, but the fear of failure. I think is a good north star I mean, I don't I think like you there should be when people aren't competitive In stand-up or I'm like good luck. I think Stand-up in a way is like athletics for people who aren't athletic Yeah, because you're like, oh, this gives me the feeling of how competition must feel for Top athletes where you're like, oh, I gotta refine. I've got to like do bring in different stuff You know when you hear about like LeBron doing different training exercises to stay on top of his game You're like comics need to do that We need to like need to go read something you've never read or go I remember burr one time in an interview is like put yourself in uncomfortable situations Because your sense of humor will react to that and you're like, oh, yeah That makes real sense an uncomfortable situation. You'll be like You'll be like, why am I doing this and then you're like, oh, that could be a bit and so it like helps you along being like Uncomfortable and failing. Yeah, I don't I think there's nothing wrong with a failure. I think it's like it's the thing that I am almost over and I'm glad More even more than people pleasing is like, I'm happy. I'm coming to the end of my fear of failure It's just a big part of it. Yeah, but like it'll always be there, but it won't be a driving force It'll be the thing that's like subtly in the background like I realize it's there But I think for a long time it was like the main thing of like just don't fail Just go out and kill and pander if you have to yeah, and then you're done and you feel gross You're like, I didn't need to do that. Nothing happened. Yeah Yeah, you're like, but if you take a chance on something You believe in and it fails. It's a little more organic of a failure where you're like, all right Yeah, well, yeah, it's all the same hole. Yeah, I always say it's like it all the same hole Like the good idea and the bad idea came out of the same hole. Like I'm not gonna Condemn the hole.  She would like see my face and be like, are you thinking about death? And I'd be like, yeah Yeah, I have like a pain right here and I think it's cancer and I'm probably gonna die and she was like What's up, dude?  I'm not gonna. I'm not I think like I'm afraid I'm not gonna be able to do I'm not gonna get to the point where I wanted to get as a person That's what I'm afraid of like I'm not gonna get to be who I was hoping to be I guess in my mind of like Letting go of the fear of failure letting go of the people pleasing like I'm afraid I'll die before I can Kind of similarly to how I felt with my dad when he died like oh, I I can't get a chance to correct that I can't get a chance to do it better. I can't get a chance to Make it more than it was you know, I I will imbibe some plant medicine from time to time. Yeah And I don't like to talk about it, but uh, uh, but I had the thought Yesterday I did maybe let's say I did some stuff Yeah, where I had the thought like I think maybe the point of life like the mission Is to Love yourself. Yeah, like that's maybe the mission. I really think there's a lot of like like what's the point of life and it's like Enjoy yourself. Yes and being okay with yourself. And I that's why I'm afraid because I'm close to it and I'm a I'm close to like The wisest thing I've ever heard anybody say was I did opiate Anthony with Mike Tyson and he was on there and um You know, it's Mike Mike Tyson.   Why aren't you laughing and Mike Tyson was like I feel that way when I walked to the ring a couple people are booing me and I'm like Why are you booing me?  I'm like, are there people that do that?   Yeah, the problem with people that are okay with themselves is that They're They're impervious to marketing.  He's like, yeah, I don't need to go do that I'm okay with I know I'm funny. Wait, you think you're enough Yeah, we're walking around thinking you're enough So you're just okay with everything you say you don't need people applauding and what yeah And to me that's like a superpower. You don't wake up every day down 10 points.  That's some people don't understand But then I'm like, oh, but it makes me feel good What kind of stuff leaving the bonfire was a weird one, uh, because I loved doing that radio show Serious XM still on Monday Monday through Thursday on faction talk 103 Uh five to seven p.m. Eastern But it was uh, it was a thing that I built that I loved that I felt like oh, I want to go do other stuff But the people pleaser in me was like, well, you can't leave this you built this. This is a family.  I want to write cartoons I want to like write stuff. There was just a bunch of stuff that I wanted to do And it was like letting down jay who's one of my closest friends It was like letting down the crew which I had worked with closely for eight years and so it was like it was confronting that people pleasing that like Can be people that aren't happy including my friend jay and including my my friends that work on the show They're not going to be happy And that was really fucking hard It took me, you know, I was having panic attacks about it I was having like losing sleep talking about it in therapy and then finally I said it to jay and I was like Sometimes you just have to trust that your friends love you and jay was like, yeah, dude If you want to leave You've always said that he's like you've always said you didn't want to do this forever So that's fine And it was weird having that having like a friend be like I see you and you're okay And you're like So all that Was for nothing and then that helped me on the next thing be like I'm probably Having all this anxiety for nothing. We're just flying past everyone else's windshield Yeah, it's this thing.  We're like central in everyone's mind We're not we're barely in the periphery. The best analogy I heard was gary goldman Said do you remember in school when you would go to the wrong classroom? And you would open the door and there'd be a class in there and you'd be like, oh, sorry And you'd shut the door and you'd be mortified And you'd be walking down the hall and you'd be like that whole classroom is thinking about me No one was thinking about you.     I mean, I'm agnostic. I believe that um I believe that humans don't know I think we're all this is such such a complicated thing And our brains are so simple that I think it's just like that that's comforting That I'm like, I don't know but we'll find out.  Yeah, and it's clouds shrubs.  That's what I hope.  Go to the light.  Well for her well for her, you know It brings up the resentment and the anger I had of like, well, where were you taking care of me when I was a kid Where were you telling why don't you tell my dad to call me? Why don't you tell my dad to pay a little child support?  Well, it's funny Don't you wish that we could get the revenge satisfied or like the passive aggressive The positive revenge know what you're saying like the positive revenge points like yeah, hey Granny, do you see what I'm doing? Yes Yeah, that's crazy. Do you see that like it's crazy?     No, that's the problem is like when we do the positive revenge Uh missions the fantasy.  Yeah, you just get like this motherfuckers I just don't appreciate it goddamn continue to feel sorry for myself. Yeah In fact feel more sorry for yourself because now because now you're a double thing and yeah And you're not even getting the like out of boy.  What does that mean? Uh, what does that look like? I'll let you in There's a there's a sec. There's a there's a VIP section. You can't get in too Sorry, we're not letting people backstage. No, I got it. So sorry, you know, he's in the right wristband He don't have the right wristband. Sorry. You don't have the credentials. Yep I can truly say and and oh, this is corny. Katie's the first person I've let in Katie's the first person that I've ever been with. I think truly Friend or anybody family member that I've been like Come and take a look inside and she went in she went. Jesus Christ. You all right Let's go this place fall apart and you're like, I don't know anybody. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. It runs I got a sleeping bag in the corner But like letting her in was like it. I mean, I feel so bad for everyone I dated before But it wasn't right. And I think maybe in my mind Subconsciously, I picked that person knowing like, well, they'll only get this far They won't have and they did it's entirely possible. You weren't getting into the every fp either No, and and this was like the first person I've let in that I was like Like, you know key in the door like you sure you want to let's made you let her in Being together during covet being together during covet and her Us having arguments and us having disagreements were finally she was like what is it?  What were you arguing about that?  Dude, I bubble boy here. I'm like you gotta get in this bubble. You can't go nowhere I mean, that's like I didn't know I had intimacy problems. The funny thing is when you're like you let her in and it's like what What's the dilapidation the dilapidation is just you said a rough Yeah Time it was it wasn't your fault like life wasn't very kind so But the idea that you're like Oh You know, it's like what you didn't do anything You didn't murder a mix of people pleasing and all that stuff.  Sorry, you know She's like yet. Did I love you? This is what love is like. I'll help you clean up Yeah, it's like cleaning up after a party. Yeah that she wasn't at you're like The place got trashed, but it's not even it's just hat. It's just emotional habits. It's not what is she cleaning up? I don't know.  I love it. It's a dlc Yeah, yeah, it's a dead it's a dead dad drop.  He had a very military like a militant father And I was like that wouldn't tell by his haircut go ahead But I was like that would break me and he's like see that would break me Just having a single mom and all these random guys coming in and I was like, oh, that was fine though Like I was do you get used to it you get used to it and he's like, oh, I got used to my dad I love my dad.    I just think is I hope it ends I mean that I think is absolutely our parents generation of being like stuff it down.  Yeah, they didn't have any They were like, you're part of this.   So Everything I think and feel is incredible and unique. We over we overcorrected from our parents generation Hopefully there's nothing worse than just being annoying.  Yeah is directly tied to that like I have my own thoughts about vaccines And I have my own because I have I read one thing and I heard a podcast and now I anything Anything there's no if I like it, it's true like our soldiers now are like, um war gives me anxiety And they're like, yeah, that's what it does. Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do But even like comedians being like the audience is being mean. It's like, well, no, they're just not saying something funny Yeah, so just you know, yes um Anxiety, I mean dude, I didn't realize how anxious I was until I started dating katie Are you like a foot? Popper I'm kind of like uh, I I shut down and I try to like Like she'll she gave me the example of when we're out in public I try to make sure that she's okay. Everyone's okay. And she's like, hey Enjoy yourself. We're in a ballgame. We're at a concert like you don't have to you can just go You can just be a part of it But I'd be like And then I can't talk like she can hear my breathe. We'll we'll play a video game sometimes And we'll both be on a headset and she'll hear my breathing and she'll be like dude Relax because I'll be like It's like I don't even know I'm being anxious. I just like go into this stage where I'm like Like what kind of game like rocket league something ridiculous Something we're literally playing to relax and I'm getting anxious because I want to do well Because it's against people pleasing.  Also I'm a pod head. So I thought I was like Cool.   You can't smoke it. We ain't gonna help. Well now It's even better just like learning how to relax Naturally and be yeah, you know, I meditate now. There's just like a lot of stuff that I do where I'm like That yeah, I'm a big old puss big old Do my breaths in the morning kind of puss but I didn't notice it with my stand-up until she noticed it. I did Shane Gillis was uh did like five sold-out shows at carolines and he was like, dude, do you guess it?  It's my friend's show It's all sold out. No stakes for me.  I got a really now.  And I was like, what do you mean? I did my bits and she was like Dude, you were killing and then you went into like hooked up. Did you ever go to here?  Yeah, and I'm like, no, but I was Yeah, and so it's that anxiety of like Like robotic almost and so now I'm aware of that every time I'm on stage. I'm like, hey, dude, this isn't a big deal This is fun Yeah, relax Chill out. You don't have to do well. Yeah, you can do okay. And if you have fun Watching comedians that have fun on stage Made me realize how much I'm not having fun on stage Like chappelle You watch chappelle on stage and you're like, oh man, never seen him But he just the way he flows the way he's like, oh, this is all so much fun I see that with like Sean Patton. I see that with Ali Sadiq Like Ali Sadiq. I just watch him and I'm like, this is such a guy that's just In it. He's just present. He's in it and he's having fun.   That was so cool to watch because I kind of knew what was the pre-planned stuff But how you got there were organic. It just looked so smooth And I love that and I realized that I was like, are you guys having a good night?  I kind of am like dude. I look around and I'm like I remember being a waiter. I remember working at the bath beyond I remember working at all these places where I was like, dude, if I could just you stand up as a job That would be the shit and now I get to So why is there any anxiety? Why is there like? I Dana Gould had this speech in 2014. It just for laughs and it's um You can find it someone wrote it out and I go and back and I read it And it's very helpful because he basically gives the point of like hey if you're doing comedy You made it Yeah, this is such a hard job to be able to do for a living that if you can do it for a living It's there now anything else is just extra that thing that you want You're actually doing it right now Like up or down or whatever if you get to be a comedian you got to do it Bigger than that. What's so therapy helped you?  I'm like there's a lot of upside to all of my issues I think it's given me perspective I think it gives me perspective that my empathy is I have an ability to be empathetic on a level that I'm like Well, if I hate me What do you know like I hate myself?  I think I'm very I think I'm very lucky to have had that and I think it influenced me to be Sweeter and more empathetic towards people like I can say all this shit about my grandmother But the fact that matters is I love her very much and I want her to be safe and comfortable Because I love her.   Yeah, like as much as it's revenge. It's also like there's a right thing to do I like I would like to do the right thing. Yeah for me doing the right thing I wish I gave myself more credit for it. Yeah, that's exactly my soul. But that's exactly it because it's like I I like doing the right thing it feels good and I need to embrace that more of being like I did what I thought was right And I'm at peace with that that that brings me a little form of justice of being like I I I did I did what I thought was good It's and sometimes it'll be wrong But if I'm if I'm trying by going by my gut, I think I'll be all right Yeah, it's a better it's like Goodness for its own sake. I want to have fun. This is a cool. I have a cool life Incredible incredibly lucky. I've been incredibly lucky.   Yeah, and I was a die-hard chapelle fan And I was like, you guys don't know and then it blew up and then I became a hipster and I was like Yeah, you guys are yelling rick james, but I was there. Just say it out. Yeah, I remember his hbo Half hour one night stand when he opened with the alcatraz bit.  Do you remember when you originally did what white people eat and You said stovetop was a crack for white people because it divides our families He's like and he would be like, I don't remember ever saying that and then I'm like Uh-huh, but yeah, it is like man. I it's it's cool like this is yeah, I agree Like not I don't yeah, I agree. I agree. It's just like cool. Yeah, it's like, um You know, I especially in this business of this business a lot of times can turn into a comparison Yeah, where you're watching other people but I've in the last since I saw you last Have really learned to genuinely be happy for my friends.   This is awesome Yeah, who should Yeah, it's like yeah them. Yeah, they're all great. You watching your friends and you're like go dude This is great. Go win. Yeah, and then it makes your wins feel better Because you're like hey, we're all yeah for its own sake.


Daily Tech News show is made possible by you, the listener, thanks to all of you, including Jim Hart, Logan Larson, Mike Acons, and new patrons Ingrid and Steve. Yay! On this episode of DTNS, 25% of CEOs say AI will eliminate jobs, accounting software sent 900 innocent people to court and sometimes jail, and Fujitsu says, it's really sorry about that. Plus, Peacock sets a record for streaming with an NFL game. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, January 16th, 2024 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Animal House, I'm Sarah Lane. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. How does it feel not to have CES? Oh, Tom, I feel like it feels different for me than you. Limpin' Back, you did the hard part for the rest of us. Thank you. Well, and the avalanche is over. Thank you for helping me sustain under that. We do have news, though, right? There's good news. Good news, everyone. Let's start with the quick hits. 13 years ago, Samsung nudged Nokia off the top spot in worldwide smartphone shipments and has stayed there until last quarter. Both Canales and IDC agree that Apple shipped the most smartphones worldwide with 234.6 million shipments versus Samsung's 226.6 million. China phone makers Xiaomi, Oppo, and Trangin round out the top five. Oppo makes the OnePlus and Realme brands. Trangin focuses on selling phones in the African market. And if Apple wants to keep its top spot, it will need to revive sales in China, where CounterPoint estimates its sales fell 11% on the year. The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has been advertising big discounts on iPhones in China ahead of the Lunar New Year. The smartphone market as a whole was down 3.2% on the year, reaching its lowest volume in a decade. Good news, I guess, some. In November, some users noticed that YouTube.com was loading slowly if they had their ad blocker running. And at the time, YouTube acknowledged the fact. Yes, if you have an ad blocker running, it might impact site performance. So it was reasonable to assume this week that the return of slowdowns to YouTube.com when ad blockers were running was another round of YouTube's war against ad blockers. However, this time, YouTube says, it's not us. A representative told Android Central recent reports of users experiencing loading delays on YouTube are unrelated to our ad blocker detection efforts. And ad block found a bug in its latest update that may be the actual cause of this round of slowdowns. Also, UBlock Origin says its users have not experienced the slowdowns. The US Supreme Court has declined to hear both Apple and Epic's appeals in Epic's lawsuit about the app store. So that means the Supreme Court did not see enough reason to weigh in, leaving the lower court ruling as final. The lower court also ruled that Apple was not anti-competitive, but that Apple should not prohibit app makers from lining to the web in order to pay companies directly. That means that developers can include buttons, external links, or other ways that direct customers to the developer's own website for purchases. In a similar situation, the EU's Digital Markets Act goes into effect on March 7th, and Apple has indicated it will operate the EU app store separately from the rest of the world as it must allow side loading there under the DMA. The US Customs and Border Protection Agency has approved Apple's modification to the Apple Watch that would let the company avoid a ban on selling Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra II models in the US. The US ITU ruled that Apple's implementation of a pulse oximeter violated patents by a company called Massimo, and the models were briefly paused from sale before Apple received a stay on the ban. Apple's proposed modification would be to just remove the pulse oximeter feature altogether via a software modification. The whole thing is a legal thicket though, because none of this means anything immediately. Existing watch users will not have the pulse oximeter function removed. New watches won't have them removed either right at the moment as Apple waits for a decision on an appeal to the ITU ruling. Apple asked for a stay on the ban to be extended during the entire period of the ITU considering its appeal. So I guess the upshot is, pulse oximeter might go away in software for new Apple watches if Apple loses all its appeals. Yeah. Microsoft has made co-pilot AI available to all Microsoft 365 users on the $30 per month plan, no matter the total number of users on that plan. Co-pilot launched in November and was limited at first to organizations with at least 300 users. Divya Kumar, global head of marketing, poor search and AI at Microsoft said, given the demand and interest we've heard from small and medium-sized businesses, we're removing that 300 seat minimum. Oh, very nice. All right. Have you heard about this UK Postal service, Fujitsu thingy? Well, it has sort of Tom and it sounds kind of messy. Let me tell you a story. All right. From 1999 until 2015, the UK Postal service used Fujitsu's Horizon software for its accounting. During that time period, a bunch of sub-postmasters and post-mistresses were prosecuted for theft and false accounting when money went missing from their branches. Cause you know, if money goes missing from your branch. It was assumed that maybe somebody was pocketing some things, yeah. And they would go to Fujitsu and Fujitsu would say, we will provide evidence, we will testify that nobody but sub-postmasters could access or alter these records. So if the records show the money went missing, they're responsible. Which means that some of them went to prison. Some of them fought the charges and were financially ruined when they lost their case and had to pay for court costs on top of financial penalties. But it turned out later that the money was missing because of an unknown bug that allowed remote access. That at some point Fujitsu was unaware of, but at some point became aware of. And the big question now is when did they become aware of? The UK Post Office knew about the bugs as early as 2010 according to the head of the Post Office, Mr. Patterson. Only 93 convictions have since been overturned. Thousands are waiting for compensation settlements because this isn't an issue. Everybody's like, yeah, the software was a problem. We didn't know it was a problem. We should overturn these convictions, but the bureaucracy, right? The bureaucracy is slowing things down. Global Chief Executive of Fujitsu Takahita Tokita said this week that Fujitsu has apologized for the impact on the Postmaster's lives and their families. So that helps, right? It's a start. Fujitsu Europe had Paul Patterson said the company has, that's the, Mr. Patterson I was mentioning earlier. Fujitsu Europe had Paul Patterson said the company has a moral obligation to contribute to compensation for sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted as a result of its faulty software. So that's better. Moral obligations, not the same as guaranteeing it though. Right, yeah. And finally, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that his party will introduce legislation to clear all sub-postmasters and postmistresses convicted of wrongdoing as a result of the horizon scandal. Oh my goodness, Tom, where do we start? Okay, so first off, if Fujitsu had a bug in its software that was wrongly accusing people of stealing, that is not something that Fujitsu was doing on purpose. Let's just assume that, right? Fujitsu didn't know about it. Nobody was trying to falsely imprison people, but that's a really, really bad thing. The fact that then the company and the post office kind of became aware of it. And yeah, some people got compensated but not the vast majority of the people who were wrongfully accused. We're not talking about me being like, hey, you owe me 10 bucks. This is like, I went to prison.  Yeah, yeah. I mean, the fact that this is even dragging as much as it has been is a real shame. Yeah, all credit to Computer Weekly for breaking the story 14 years ago says work with Toby in our chat and to Private Eye Magazine for keeping the story alive. Also popularizing it recently, an ITV drama called Mr. Bates Versus the Post Office really put the issue in the public spotlight, particularly the case of Mr. Bates who joined the post office in 2019. So right, right, or 2015, I think, right towards the end of this, but yeah. I think Mr. Bates is the one who lost $300,000 in this and would like that back since he was not in fact guilty of anything. I mean, there are many, you know, when convictions are overturned for a variety of reasons, not just this case, you know, there is compensation and you think to yourself, okay, what's the appropriate compensation? There kind of isn't one.  It's one thing if you just had financial problems, but if you went to prison, that's kind of hard to put a price on.  It's pretty terrible and the fact that it just goes back to like software, oh, that buggy software never works right, doesn't it? I mean, that's a tough one to swallow. It really smacks of a company that didn't want to admit there was a problem. Right. In other words, it was not evident that there was remote access and a company given uncertainty would like to choose the fact that it was not their fault and so they did that. And I think they maybe thought they could get away with it because they weren't sure if there was a problem for a while and then once they became sure, they had already testified that there was not a problem and so, you know, it's harder to say, okay, we lied earlier when we said there wasn't a problem because there was a problem. Well, yeah, I mean, Paul Patterson, you know, snowball rolled downhill. Europe had seen like, I had a feeling, something was weird. As of 2010, so it took them 11 years to have a gut feeling but then five years, they kept going for five years thinking like, I have a gut feeling but I don't want to get in trouble with my boss so I'm not going to push it. Well, I mean, we've all been there, right?  That's okay.  Yeah, and this is a big story if you're watching the BBC and if you're in the UK and it's a software story. It is a testament to needing strong pressures whether they be legal, public or otherwise for companies to be transparent about their bugs and get them fixed. Indeed. Also a big story over the weekend. Peacock's AFC wildcard game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins was the most live stream event in US history, accounting for 30% of internet traffic during the broadcast. The game had a total of 27.6 million viewers with a peak average of 24.6 million during the second quarter. The game, however, did not come without controversy. Many viewers complained about having to sign up to a streaming service to watch an NFL playoff game which historically has been a free thing to watch on terrestrial television. Oh, Tom, can I even tell you how many text messages I got over the weekend of like, Peacock, how do I get Peacock? I wanna watch the game. How do I get Peacock? Did you send them a let me Google that for you link or how did you handle it? I mean, one would think it's like, I don't know, just like Google Peacock and Peacock.com and probably some sign up thing. But this just goes to show you people being like, well, hold on, it's kind of like the Amazon Thursday night football thing, which happened a year ago where people were like, how do I do that? Like, well, go ahead and download the Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime app, whatever it is. Prime video, yeah. Prime video, exactly. It's just that much harder to watch something that a lot of people are going to be talking about. Of course, Kansas City Chiefs also means Taylor Swift. So I think that gave it a little bit of a boost as well as far as viewership. But yeah, I watched it, good game. Yeah, it's one of those issues where everyone complained ahead of time that they had to get Peacock to watch this. And then apparently they all got Peacock because it was the highest watched, it was like up a bunch over the previous Peacock exclusive game, which was a regular season game a month ago. And frankly, it's not that hard to get for most people. Yes, there are edge cases. And I expect to hear from you about those edge cases of somebody you know who's a big football fan who doesn't have a solid internet connection or lives in a rural area where streaming is not possible. Just so people who don't live in those areas know, in Kansas City and Miami, which were the two teams playing, the games were broadcast over the air. So locals who are fans of these teams were able to get it over their regular television stations. You could also get it on NFL Plus, the mobile service, and you could get it on Peacock as well. So I feel like this is the same thing that happened when cable came along in the 80s. I remember my grandpa complaining that the St. Louis Cardinals games were moving to cable and he didn't have cable and he didn't want to get cable. And he didn't, you know, he was complaining that, oh, I have to get this thing to watch the games. Well, then I just won't watch them. And it seems like a lot of people were in that same mood over the weekend. My grandpa solved it by coming to our house to watch them, at least sometimes. In this case, it seems like most people just went, wow, it's not that much for just one month and I actually have the internet and I could sign up and I could watch it. So I'll do that, you know? Because TVs mostly have Peacock built in as an app these days, new ones anyway. It reminds me of the old days of, you know, if you wanted to watch the big boxing fight.  And some people were like, yeah, I'll do it. And other people were like, well, I'll pay but I don't know how to do it. And then you have people like me who were like, yeah, I don't care that much. You know, I'll just hear about it later. Granted, when I'm thinking of the golden days of this, there was no internet to just look at the score live. But yeah, we're only going to see more and more of this kind of stuff. It's like, do you want to watch this, you know, specific prestigious game, whatever that game may be, whatever the match may be, you have to see it this way. Yeah. Don't have Peacock? Well, you know, sign up and then cancel later. A lot of people are gonna do that. Unlike pay-per-view too, you get more than just the game. Right. Like pay-per-view, you got the fight and then that was it, your money was spent. This is, you get the game and you get all of Peacock which has other sports, other live events. You get, it's got news, it's got other things. So I still argue that the streaming landscape as fragmented and as uncertain and as much of a change as it is now is still preferable to the cable service where it was like, you can get it or not, your choice, pay an introductory price and then remember to complain every year to keep that introductory price or we will gouge you. Most of the average bills for cable over the last 10 years were much more expensive than getting even four or five of these streaming services and you have control over which ones you want. You can get rid of them. You can have Peacock for a month, watch the games, cancel it, like it's so much easier than cable. So it's new, it's annoying when you have to learn and navigate a new thing. I don't discount that, but I think in the end it's actually going to end up being better. Yeah, I mean, I remember, well, I remember the days of cable are still among us, but where if you were to, I don't know, try to cancel your service before the first 12 months, like you get like a cancellation fee. It was like really hard to do that. So you got locked in in a really bad way and that's why people hated cable and just sort of rolled their eyes and was like, ah, but it's just like easier to have it than not. And YouTube TV, another service where I come and go. It just depends on, is there a series that I'm interested in on this particular station that I wouldn't get otherwise with some of my a la carte services, pay for a month and then I cancel and I can come back. Yeah. Well, one way to watch TV is Android TV. That's an operating system. And if you're into Android, we've got a whole show just for you.

A survey from PwC released at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Did you go to Davos, Sarah? No, it doesn't look like you went this year. Not this year, Tom. No, no. I have been. It was very cold, but very. You have actually been. That's right. I forgot about that. I went once in 2016. Yeah. How was it hanging out with all the bankers? Uh, it was fine. No, it was cool. I mean, it was. Listen, you're you're in the Swiss Alps. What's not to like? What's not to love? Sure. Well, a survey released at Davos found that 75% of chief executives do not see generative models leading to a headcount reduction. That's not the headline you're seeing. The headline you're seeing is that 25% do think generative models will lead to a headcount reduction, but I feel like it's worth flipping the perspective there. Most chief executives do not see a reduction. So the 25% that do, let's look at what they think. Uh, of those who do, they expect the reduction to be about 5% of staff. So not huge, but significant. 5% is a chunk. Yeah. Most of the CEOs who said they expected reduction were in the media and entertainment, banking and insurance and logistics industries.  Uh, they, they could probably benefit a lot. And logistics, which has, has a lot of, of tedium. I have a friend in the logistics industry who says probably in the customer service side of things is where he thinks the automation might fall. Um, but still, uh, these are industries that say, yeah, we're probably going to drop a lot of jobs. Engineering and construction, least likely to anticipate reductions. Uh, you need human engineers to really figure out problems. You need people nailing things and hammering them to do construction. Next least likely. Can you guess the next least likely, uh, to reduce because of automation? No. Metals and mining, metals and mining, metals and mining, digging in the ground, looking for the, looking for the rare earth, uh, stuff like that. Not quite there yet. And then right behind engineering and construction and metals and mining technology, technology companies least third least likely to reduce because of automation. I've not seen this in the headlines anywhere. And I think it's because again, technology knows like we need people, we need programmers, programmers can be assisted, but we're not going to eliminate them. We're just going to make them more productive. Uh, so it's customer service and tedium and stuff that this is going to get rid of. Okay. 46% said that staff reduction or not, they expect generative models to increase profitability. Uh, so even amongst those who are not cutting staff, they think they're going to make more money by using these models, right? Some of them with the existing staff, because the existing staff just get more productive and they don't want to get rid of them. They want to get them more productive and make more money. Uh, 47% expected no change to profitability with generative models. I guess 7% were on the fence, but I thought that was interesting. That's about 50-50. 32% of companies surveyed had already started adopting it and 58% said they expected to improve product or service quality in the next year. Well, all right. So looking at these numbers, uh, the vast majority of CEOs of companies saying, don't worry, we're good. Um, that is, uh, I don't know. That's encouraging, I suppose. It's what I've been saying is that a smart company looks at this and says, well, we want to keep the people we have and make them more productive and then we make more money versus getting rid of people because then we don't have as much workforce. Right. And, you know, we, we talk about this on DTNS a lot. It sort of like, okay, so what, what's the big worry?  But that's the worst case scenario. Um, I think sometimes it's like, okay, what about, uh, when you get like a spam robocall?  You know, there are, there are ways that we have become accustomed to this and that is just going to continue to be the case when, you know, a human, um, uh, you know, what, what you're good at as a human, you're just not good enough to not be, you know, replicated by a machine of some kind. Now that's not a bad thing. And, you know, to your point, Tom, it means that the humans get to do what humans are really, really good at, that, uh, machine models, generative models aren't good at, at least not yet. Yeah, the robocall thing's a great example. Uh, what happened there? Yeah, I guess it got rid of a few people's jobs calling you with spam, but it mostly increased the ability to make calls. There are way more calls because of robocalls than there would have been otherwise. That's a negative, but there's plenty of positive versions. But you also can argue like it's more productive, which is that no one likes it, but it's still more productive. There's plenty of positive versions of that where, oh, we can now, uh, proactively provide better service because our customer service agents can spend time with the people who actually have a problem instead of being spread thin because they're not enough agents and a bunch of agents are doing very tedious things. So an automated customer service agent can take care of a lot more of your questions in a way that's easy. And then when you actually need a human, you get to the human and the human isn't spread so thin that they, they can't help you out or, or that it takes you 20, you know, hours to get a call response. So I, yeah, I think customer service, uh, get, is probably going to get a lot of, of this kind of automation and it's going to make it easier for you. It's going to make it easier for those providing jobs. I guess where I, I land on this though is there was the computer revolution, which, you know, automated a lot, but really just shifted people's jobs. We shifted into being able to have program managers and product managers and things like that. Uh, there was also the industrial of revolution, which got rid of people's jobs and then they didn't have a job. And so they rioted, uh, and, you know, sabotage industry and stuff. I think this is somewhere in between. 5% is significant, but it's not huge. And I think we've, we've seen what the reaction is going to be with the writer strike and the actor strike and things like that. There's, there's going to be some pushback in those industries that are affected and it's going to take some paying attention to what people need, right? When somebody, when an industry has a number of jobs that are eliminated and those people have to a new job and step in and say, okay, how do we retrain? How do we help these people? How do we make the transition? You know? Um, sounds like a robot got, uh, into Tom's connection there. Uh, you're back now. Um, uh, yeah, I, I, I, I don't know. I mean, I, I don't want to sound pessimistic about, uh, people, humans being on staff. Um, but 5% of staff going away is what a CEO wants to do in general. That's a good point too. A lot of this 5% of staff going away would have happened anyway. Yeah. It's like, where do we cut costs? Yeah. How do we cut corners? You know, this is, and, and it, people in many industries are feeling this crunch more than ever. Um, we're, you know, we're in a bit of a downturn. So, yeah.  Just twiddle our thumbs all day. No, we're not there yet. We might have a different conversation in five years from now, but, um, at this point, I think it's, yes, how do we get, uh, how do we do away with the, the, the tedium and, uh, put people to work where they're needed? Engineering. Construction. Metals and mining. Technology. You know, this is stuff where if you have expertise, you can't be replicated. All right. Let's check out the mail bag. What do we got today? Oh, if recent airline news has you even more curious than usual, what kind of a plane you're going to be traveling on next? Chris Christensen has a handy tip for you. This is Chris Christensen from Amateur Traveler with another tech in travel minute. You may have heard that last week, Alaska practiced an open door policy. Unfortunately, they did it with one of their airplanes and it was a 737-9 max. One of the interesting things that has come out of that is kayak, which is a popular booking site for travel for flights has reported seeing a 15 fold increase in use of its aircraft filter. You can filter by type of aircraft that you'll be flying before booking. Now, I don't personally feel a need to do that, but it does shine a light on the interesting feature that when you do use one of these metasurge engines like kayak, there are a number of different filters you can use if you're looking for the shortest flight or you're looking for the cheapest flight or you're looking for a flight specifically and you know you're going to do carry-on luggage or you're not going to do carry-on luggage, although those sorts of things. So do check out those flight filter options the next time you book your flight. This is Chris Christensen from Amateur Traveler. There are no of those particular 737 Max's flying right now, which caused a lot of delays, but nevertheless kind of a cool feature, right? Interesting to know. Especially if you really know layouts and you're like, I want to fly that dreamliner. I want to fly that really fancy plane. It's a good way to do that as well. Regarding our discussion of the best of CES on Friday, specifically the year GyroGlove, a non-Junior wrote on Patreon, the glove sounded nice. One of my post-cancer treatment drugs gave me random and bothersome hand tremors. My deepest sympathy for anyone who has to deal with that on the regular. Oh, a non-Junior. I'm with you. I'm with you on that. Life is better these days, but yeah. Yeah, that's a real thing. This was specifically for Parkinson's, which when we talked about it on Friday, but yeah, I can see other use cases as well. Patrons, stick around for the extended show, Good Day Internet. Are people going to use the Apple Vision Pro to watch 3D movies and TV? Well, Apple and Disney hope you will. We're going to talk about what they're offering. We are, but just a reminder, you can catch our show live. We do it live Monday through Friday 4 p.m. Eastern 2100 UTC and you can find out more at DailyTechNewShow.com. We're back doing it all again tomorrow with Huan Tui Dao talking Samsung Unpacked. Going to be fun. Back to you then. The DTNS family of podcasts. Helping each other understand. Diamond Club hopes you have enjoyed this program.
