This is our second appointment, so each time it's been challenging, but NASA's been great and just the presence coming home speaks volumes. Service members with Carrier Air Wing 5 returned to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan following a three-month deployment aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. We're lucky that we get a halftime for 7th Fleet and FTNF, so this is like a huge bonus for most squadrons back home, don't get it. CVW-5 was aboard the Reagan to conduct carrier-based airstrike and strike force escort missions as well as ship, battlegroup and intelligent collection operations. It's been challenging, but I think we really have found our groove with supporting each other, so we're making it work. Family members waited by the flight line to welcome their loved ones home. Reporting from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, I'm Lance Corporal Ryan Udliberri.


Daily Tech News Show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you, including Logan Larson, Mike Aikens, and Norm Physikus. Coming up on DTNS, how bad is rings law enforcement policy? Turn any old laptop into a Chromebook, and will you use the new Hyundai EV as a home office? This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, July 14th, 2022. J-Hope, release day in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. Also in Los Angeles, I'm Lamar Wilson. And on the show's producer, Roger Chang. My friends, my friends, we have so much to get to, let's start with a few tech things you should know. The South Korean messaging at Super App Kakao will remove an external payment option in its Android app after Google blocked the company from updating the app in the Play Store. A recently passed law requires app stores to allow third-party payment systems, but doesn't mandate allowing links to redirect customers to another website. Well, they back down, but I don't think that's the last we're going to hear about that. Windows central sources say Microsoft's current internal plans indicate it will change from a once a year feature update cadence to updating features in what it may call moments that can happen up to four times a year. Major Windows releases would come once every three years if this plan turns out to be true. Microsoft announced back in November that it would move to annual feature updates with longer support terms. So ZDNets Mary Jo Foley notes that Chief Product Officer Panos Panai made it clear at that time that new features could still come at other times besides the yearly update. So Foley suspects that these quote-unquote moments may be more of a marketing move than a substantive change to support. A New York jury convicted former CIA engineer Joshua Schulte on nine charges related to gathering, stealing and transmitting classified information and obstruction of justice as part of leaking information to WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks released data from Schulte as the Vault 7 leak back in 2017 detailing methods used by the CIA to access targets, computers and phones and smart TVs. People's Bank of China told the press Wednesday that China's digital yuan was used in transactions worth 83 billion yuan. That's about 12.3 billion US. 264 billion transactions have been conducted by May 31st. More than four and a half million businesses accept the digital yuan and it's still in the testing phase. The Central Bank Digital Currency or CBDC is going to expand its pilot tests beyond the 23 cities and 15 regions it's in now. So digital yuan definitely the fastest growing, widest used CBDC so far. Puck News reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple Head of Services Eddie Q and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met during the Sun Valley Conference last weekend. Apple is among those said to be trying to get the contract to carry the NFL Sunday ticket package. Disney, Amazon and its current carrier Direct TV are also supposedly still interested, but Puck believes that Apple will be the most likely winner.  All right, let's talk a little more about what's going on with ring doorbell you might have seen some pretty screamy looking headlines out there. Responding to a request from the US Congress, Amazon executive Brian Hoosman and remember Amazon owns ring told lawmakers that as of July 1st, Amazon provided ring doorbell footage from customer doorbells to US law enforcement on 11 occasions 11 times this year without user consent or a court order. Usually, usually a user consent and says yeah, go ahead and give it. Sometimes there'll be a subpoena that means whether the user wants to or not they have to give it over, but 11 times ring handed it over without either of those rings law enforcement guidelines say that it reserves the right to quote immediately respond to emergency disclosure requests from police in cases of imminent danger. Hoosman said that Amazon quote made a good faith determination that there was an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to a person requiring disclosure of information without delay. Many companies have policies for emergency disclosure request so this isn't just ring Google has one Twitter has one look around. They all say hey in an extreme circumstance we might decide to just voluntarily hand over data, but it'll be good faith that there is imminent danger when we do to put this in context. Keep in mind ring reported it received 3147 legal demands in 2021 that was up 65% over 2020. One could reasonably assume that there are even more legal demands this year. So 11 is a very small percentage of the number of requests that it got that it decided to just go ahead and comply with without user consent or a legal order. I saw a lot of chatter about this this morning from everyone, you know, on one side being like if you want to ring device throw it out now. It's horrible company, you know, to people saying well, but what were the 11 instances where this data was shared with law enforcement. You know, if you knew a little bit more about that, you might not be so up in arms about the fact that this happened without the customers consent or knowledge. I think that that plays into this a lot. There are, you know, no, I don't want my, you know, anything video related of my home being shared with anybody ever without me knowing about it. But if there was a mad person on the loose in my neighborhood and somehow I, you know, things were moving quickly, and something that that had been recorded by my device was going to help the good guys get the bad guys. I don't know how upset I would be. I think the context is really important here. I was literally about to say that sentence. I was going to say context is key here to understand what's going on. I was thinking here in LA we have those infamous car chases and helicopters searching grounds at night sometimes.  So in that kind of context, who knows that person shot at someone or the kidnap a child. If they're trying to, if it's an emergency thing, Tom, and I think it's what you said in your reading that it's an actual imminent danger type of emergency. I think that context is reasonable. I think most reasonable people would side with that. It's when there's lack of context that I can understand the crowd. But at the same time, it's emergencies are emergencies and I'm from one and I'm fine with that. You could still say, I don't trust ring. And I don't think they should ever be doing that. I think that's a reasonable position to take. But, but I think it's important to understand that you are talking about 11 cases. And if these were abusive cases, first of all, there's only 11 out of more than 3000. And you would likely have heard someone complaining about it before now in the current world in which we live in. They are not telling you the details of this because they are protecting the privacy of the individuals involved. You can't have it both ways. You can't say like, protect everyone's privacy, but also tell me all the details of every, every situation. It just can't work both ways. I look at this and I think, okay, this is a rare instance, but there could be an instance where the police arrive and find someone unconscious who's been stabbed. The ring doorbell is there on the front door and they know that there's a good chance that whoever did this might have been caught fleeing on the ring doorbell. They can't get a warrant fast enough to catch that guy because it's going to take a while to get the judge. And the person who could give them consent is lying unconscious being treated by the EMTs. Should they not, should ring not give them the information in that situation. Personally, I think that it's reasonable for ring to say, yes, this is a situation that counts. I think what causes the problem here is that ring has abused people's trust in the past. And so where you might say, oh yeah, no, that's a reasonable situation. People are saying, okay, sure, but how many times have they done the wrong thing? How many times have they made the wrong call? The fact that it's 11 makes me think that probably not that often, but it's ring. So you don't know. Google announced that Chrome OS Flex has moved to general availability. We talked about this back in February when they announced it. And you could get it before now, but now it's out of beta. It's available for everybody. More than 400 devices from Apple, Dell, Lenovo, HP and more are certified to run Chrome OS Flex, which can turn your old laptop into a Chromebook. You can down Chrome OS Flex to a USB drive for free. The certification list is just the models that they've been thoroughly tested. You can install it on uncertified devices. There's no breaking of the terms of service. It just means they haven't found out whether it's going to work well on that device. So if it's certified, it meets minimum requirements. But all the features may or may not work. Google says it will continue to add certifications as it goes. But Lamar, tell us about some of the details here. Yeah, so some of the certification includes basics like keyboard, USB, Wi-Fi, et cetera, but doesn't guarantee Bluetooth, which I thought was interesting. Tough screen, automatic screen rotation, keyboard shortcuts, and SD card slots. These should work, but they might not. So they just kind of let you know that. Other features that are not supported on Chrome OS Flex at all, including fingerprint readers, optical drivers, IR webcams, proprietary connectors, stylus input, and Thunderbolt functionality. So at least you know. If you've got a Mac, I mean, you think about a Mac that has Thunderbolt. You might not be able to use a Thunderbolt, but you can use a USB-C. So at least they're putting out there that that's not possibly available. What were you going to say, Sarah? I'm sorry. No, no, I was saying that Thunderbolt stood out to me as well because I've got a few. Well, I don't want to tell you how many old MacBooks I have behind me somewhere in the studio, but they're basically recycled bin fodder. And I just haven't had Apple come and pick them up yet because I won't get any money for them otherwise. They work, but not very well. But running Chrome OS on one of these guys for, I don't know, even something show-related. You know, having a screen where I could use that in some way, or even being able to donate that to some sort of, I don't know. Like a school? A school, yeah. Or like a childcare program or anything.  It's just not worth anything anymore. Not to Apple, right? Yeah. And so this is, you know, this is, I think this is a cool idea. I think people can get creative with it. Yeah. I'm a big proponent is I'm a person who likes to pass down technology within family and friends. And I love the idea of reusing that worked in schools that worked with inner city families who, you know, and it's not like, hey, I'm just going to give them my crap. And I don't, I hate when people do that. You know, get, like Chrome, I looked this up, Chrome OS Flex. It's very nice. If you want to live in Chrome, are you comfortable living in Chrome and giving Google your data? And Tom, what did it mean by cloud first? That's the one thing I didn't, I wasn't clear on. Is it internet? Is this an internet-only computer? Yeah, sort of. Okay. The thing about Chrome is that it's basically a big browser and it does some Android emulation so it can do some local behavior. It has local storage capability so you can store some of your documents online. That's good to know. It's really meant to be used online. That that's how it was designed. Yeah. Okay. Well, KV noted in our subreddit, reddit.com slash. Daily Tech News show. Yeah. What's the name of our show again? KV noted that PCMAG reports the US Federal Trade Commission or FTC will pursue action against companies that make false claims about data anonymization. Anonymization claims usually refer to stripping out personal identifying details from the data such as your name, your phone number, your address. However, if that anonymized information is sold to a third party, that third party can sometimes de-anonymize it by combining it with other data that it might be able to use and kind of triangulate and find out more about you. The FTC is especially concerned with this in regards to location data. The Acting Associate Director for the Commission's Privacy Division, Kristen Cohen, cited research published in the journal Patterns showing 95% of a data set of 1.5 million individuals could be identified using four locations with time stamps. So basically it sounds like the FTC would prohibit location data from being used in anonymized data sets. Well, that's what they want to do anyway. And they're making a lot of bombastic statements when they announce it, which is what politicians do. But I kind of think this is reasonable. If you look past all of that, you're like, oh, so you're saying like Sarah just said, if you're calling something anonymized, that should, you know, having the name in there, having the phone number wouldn't be okay. Location should be there too. So phone number address, name and location. Location should not be allowed if it's anonymized. I think that's pretty reasonable. Now, I wonder what else they might want to get out of there because there are other ways to de-anonymize data if you have other data to combine with it. So I'm not sure exactly where the line would be drawn. But I think it's pretty reasonable to say location makes it a lot easier to de-anonymize. So let's say you can't call it anonymized data if you're including location anymore. But I don't know. Am I crazy? That seems fair to me. I thought it was very reasonable. When I read that, it's like, oh, okay. They're doing something good here. So it makes me wonder why did they use, as you term, such bombastic language here? Why make it so charged? By just saying, hey, this is actually a good thing. If you win points by saying companies try to flout the law, but we're going to stop if you couch it in that phrase. But I don't even think that's necessary here. I think you could just, and granted, I'd be horrible. At being a government agency person, because I wouldn't do the things you need to do to raise funds and all that. But essentially just say, hey, location is really easy to de-anonymize. So we're not allowing that. We're drawing a line there. And we might draw other lines in the future. We're going to keep evaluating it. I think it's important to what was cited by the associate director for the privacy division of the FTC saying, listen, if Sarah goes four places, we can figure out a lot of other things about what Sarah's habitat, what she eats, where she goes, what she's into in general. And that's important to remember is that this sort of thing, de-anonymizing data can tell a lot of people a lot of things about you, whether you want them to or not. And where you go is a huge part of that. Basically, what this is saying is if we get a bunch of data and it shows us that this individual went to these four places at these four times, we can figure out that's Sarah Lane. That's all we need. We don't even need any more data. So that's why you shouldn't be including location data in there. At least 95% of the time in the study, they were able to do that. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. Well, folks, we'll be talking about that kind of stuff I bet next week with some of our special guests. It's going to be special guest week here on DTNS. So please, folks, start telling folks about it. They're going to want to tune in. We have Jack Reisider from Dark Net Diaries coming on on Monday. Quinn Nelson from Snazzy Labs. Joel Telling, the 3D printing nerd. Don't miss it. Please, if you can, tweet Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, Friendster, work, whatever you still use. Let people know about special guest week, DailyTechNewsShow.com all next week. Let's talk EVs. So GM, EVgo and Truck Stop Operator Pilot Company announced they will install 2000 DC fast chargers for EVs. Add up to 500 pilot and flying J truck stops in the US. Now, this is in addition to the 3,250 chargers GM and EVgo are already installing. As infrastructure starts to take shape, the competitive landscape for EVs is expanding as well, which is good. Hyundai is one of the fastest growing makers. Sarah, tell us more about Hyundai. What are they doing? Yeah. So Hyundai is pitching its next EV, the Ionic 6 sedan as a personal mobile studio. So it's a car, but it's also a workstation. The car has four USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and will be Hyundai's first car to support over-the-air software updates. There's a notes application built into one of the two 12-inch screens, and the center console is wide enough to hold a laptop. Hyundai also showed off an accessory for the car called the Ionic smart table that snaps onto the center console and provides more workspace and three additional USB-C ports. So the idea is you fold it out while you're parked somewhere to get some work done. Maybe you're in between meetings. Perhaps you're charging up your battery for whatever you're not driving at the time, of course, but your car is an office. The ambient lighting lets you switch between 64 different interior colors and six pre-selected themes if you're the kind of person who cares about that sort of thing. Well, yeah, you might want to have a work mood or a relax mood, depending on what you're doing. If it's at night, you know, a certain light really appeals to certain folks. Totally. But we should not forget, it is also a car. It's designed with a 0.21 drag coefficient, which it claims can achieve 14 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers in usage. So you get a little extra range out of it, and they're selling a big battery option. If you go for the top of the two options, you get a 77.4 kilowatt hour battery, which by European standards might be a little lower in the EPA, but by European standards would be a 379 mile range. The 53 kilowatt hour battery will give you a shorter range, but still a little more than you would normally get out of 53 kilowatt hours. At least that's what they're claiming. It offers all-wheel drive, can go zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 5.1 seconds, and those ambient lights that we were talking about brighten as you accelerate, so that you get the idea that you're speeding. But speaking of something that's very bright, check out this future. Because reasons, there's an NFT collection that you can drive the car virtually in Zepido and Roblox as well as in VR headsets. So what a bright future there. Now, production of the Hyundai Ionix 6 begins in Q3 in Korea, Europe later this year, and in the US in January. Yeah, they're going to have it unveiling in the US in November too. That's probably where we'll get a retail price here because we didn't get any prices for any of the markets in this announcement. But I don't know. It's a cool looking car. I don't know if I'm going to make it my home office though. I mean, it really depends on the person. I'd work from home. I mean, I drive pretty much every day to do something. And when I first read this, I was like, eh, I don't know. Carplay works pretty well. I mean, as long as I have cell service. But it's true that no, I'm not packing my laptop in with me if I did, and I was sort of holding it, trying to keep it away from the steering wheel would be kind of cumbersome or I don't know, I would sit in the backseat with my dog or something. I can see where, depending on what you do and how mobile you are, this could really, really be a great solution for anybody who's like, oh God, I had to do work in my car today. It sucked. But I figured it out type thing. If it actually becomes more of a comfort solution, then people might think about cars a little bit differently. Yeah, I was thinking about this too. I have some friends who are, you know, there's still unwrote salespeople who travel from city to city, whether they're selling devices in hospitals or whatever. So they're constantly on the road and they may have to go to the side of the road to take care of something real quick. Or they're entrepreneur.  It has to go up. And so I have to edit it on the fly. I have had to do this. I've had to pull over and make an edit change for a brand new video because they were like, this is wrong. Fix it quick. And I'm out. Thank God I have my laptop with me. So there are good use cases for people with this. And as an EV owner myself, I was looking at this car and I'm not one of those who's like, only Tesla, Tesla for life. I love that Hyundai has a car. I love there's so many again. And I'm hoping that that get that price down to that sweet spot 35,000 even 25 if they have a car can ever get down to 25 again for EV. Because once people drive them, I think they'll like them. I think it's just the price point. It's scary for a lot of people and Hyundai is the company I see to to really get mainstream people involved in it. And then having the charging infrastructure, because that's what's important here, right? Having having the various chargers. That's not just Tesla. That's EV going or even just the brand you're familiar with having a GM one or maybe even Hyundai at some point. These different charging points have places that you normally go. They'll be at gas stations, but it could be at other convenience stores or maybe malls places that you have to go anyway to have charging infrastructure. There's a really good idea. You want to not have to think about it. You don't want to be like, oh, I can't park there. That's a supercharger. I need an EV go, right? You want it to just be so many chargers, so many places that you're like, well, I know I'm going to be able to charge up when I'm at X place. And yeah, I think the Ionic 5, it's a bigger car. It's more of a family car, but it's really doing well as an EV for Hyundai. And I think the Ionic 6 is an interesting move to say, well, let's go sedan. Let's go for the single driver. Let's go for somebody. You could pack a few things in it, but it's really meant for just the person who lives in their car. Not literally lives in their car, but spends a lot of time. If you lived in your car, this would also be helpful. I mean, you probably can afford it at that point. Right, yeah. Although it's cheaper than a house, so who knows? You've got a whole family. Give it a year. Give it a year. It's a tiny home. Hyundai Ionic 6. It's a tiny home. That's the marketing right there. I feel like it's over-promising. It's like, okay, four USB ports does not suddenly make this a home office. Like it's nice. Don't get me wrong, but. Yeah. These seem like features that we're just going to expect in the future. And Hyundai is at the forefront of that. Yeah, or trying to be for sure. Yeah. Well, there's an underground indie artist. You probably never heard of her, but her name is Beyonce. And she has joined TikTok. Her entire catalog is now available to TikTok users to use as backing sounds for their creative videos. You want to do a remix?  Beyonce wants to be your friend. It's a smart move. Her new single called Break My Soul, which is all over TikTok. If you hang out on TikTok, you've probably heard it. Also songs like Halo and Single Ladies, you know, the, the, the, the hot hits, they're all available. So Beyonce already has more than 3.3 million followers on TikTok. At least that's what it was when I checked this morning. Probably more than now. She's big on the internet though. She has 268 million followers on Instagram, 56 million on Facebook, almost 25 million YouTube subscribers and 5.5 million Twitter followers. Yeah. A respect to her. That's 15.5 million. You're not in a beehive, obviously. What does that mean? No, you said, you said 5.5 million. I was like, oh, 15.5. Yeah, I was like, respect to beehive. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. No, that's just, that's just brain freeze on my part. I would never, I would never want to upset the hive. The funny thing is they will, they will find you if you, if they had heard, heard that. At least we can all release the wiggle on TikTok officially. Yeah. This is the, it's smart though, right? Because it's very smart. We know that, I mean, a lot of TikTok, so many songs that I, I now understand, oh, that's a Harry Styles song. Like I heard it on TikTok and I just didn't, I didn't know the song that there was, never heard it on the radio or just wasn't listening to the right station, et cetera. TikTok is a great way to get your, your, your creative, well, in this case, a song out to a lot of folks, you know, who are enthusiastically sharing it with all their friends. Since Lil Nas X in Old Town Road, particularly, I think everyone has started to look at TikTok as an essential platform for releasing any kind of music. But today it arrived when, when Queen B arrives on the TikTok officially and gives it her blessing. TikTok is now, there's FM radio, there's Spotify and now there's TikTok. Like it is, it is, it is part of the, the major platforms when you release a song. I mean, that's definitely what that means to me because she was doing, she's doing this to, to give juice to her new album. So, and then smart, like you said, smart thing to do. Tom, will you be dancing to break muscle anytime soon on TikTok? On TikTok, maybe not. But I already have in private. Okay. I have released the wiggle Lamar. Do you have a ring camera? I'm asking, I'm asking for no reason. Is this an emergency that you find out? Might have been depends on how it looked. I'm not saying it was one of the 11 incidents that just, let's check the whale bag. Let's do it. So, James C. Smith wrote in agreeing with you, Tom, about Elon Musk flip flopping on that whole Twitter purchase that we talked about earlier in the week. James C. Smith says, many factors contributing to this. It would be a mistake to pin it all on one thing. Major factors, he probably thinks the price should be much lower than his previous offer due to changing market conditions. It's more than just Elon's Tesla stock losing value whose market dropped significantly since the offer was made. It would be silly to think that Twitter is still worth what it was months ago when Apple, Amazon, the whole NASDAQ composite is down 25%. It's hard to fault Elon for trying to get a better deal with conditions like this. James says, my partners and I sold our company back into 2008. We had an offer. Both sides agreed. Hadn't closed yet. Then the mortgage crisis happened. We got a call from the buyer telling us the whole market just dropped 30%. And so did your value. So we have a new offer for you. Take it or leave it. The good news, James says, is I took the cash I got from the sale of the business, invested it in the market at a market low. And I was able to ride the market recovery up and make back that 30% in not much time. Yeah. Interesting to get somebody who's like been in that same position.  But, you know, a similar situation. So there's rationality behind this. And I appreciate you sharing the story with us, James. Indeed. And if you have anecdotes, anything we talk about on the show, you go, you know, I've got a great story. Please do send them our way. It really helps us make our future shows that much smarter. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com is where to send that email. We would like to send you all the hearts. Lamar Wilson for being with us today. Let folks know where they can keep up with what's the latest. Why do all kind of cool unboxings and things? You can find me on Lamar.TV, of course. But I have a great exclusive worldwide interview. I have not done an interview in years. And I did it with the one and only Tom Merritt. On this new show, a word. And I can, and it released today. And I cannot wait for people to listen to it. And I'll talk about being a creator, transitioning to being an influencer. And Tom is one of the best interviewers in the world. I love this show. Oh, thanks. And I hope it goes amazingly. So please, please listen. I had a blast talking to you. And what I thought was really cool is you opened up and talked about your journey from being a creator known for YouTube stuff and moving to vertical video and TikTok and all that sort of stuff. And I think that's really valuable and fascinating for folks to hear. So hopefully, folks, you'll go check it out, awordpodcast.com. And you can hear Lamar and I just having a little conversation. The lockdown happened in the 16th. And I was like, that sounds vaguely familiar at those dates. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. There you go. A little sample for you. OK. Great sample. Good stuff. Check it out, awordpodcast.com. And thanks to our brand new boss, Dwayne. Dwayne just started backing us on Patreon.  So thank you, Dwayne. Dwayne, Dwayne, Dwayne, Dwayne, Dwayne. Thanks, Dwayne. Thanks, Dwayne. Dwayne. Who's as cool as Dwayne, Sarah? Who? The answer is whoever backs us on Patreon and gets mentioned tomorrow. Right. Yes. I was like, I don't know. Nobody's cooler than Dwayne. Not right now though. Not today. No. But as cool as, still, Dwayne, you're never going to be... No one will surpass Dwayne. No. No. As cool. There's a longer version of the show called Good Day Internet available at patreon.com. DTNS, which anybody who's listening live knows we roll into right after the show. But just a reminder, we are live. Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern, 200 UTC, and you can find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live. We're back doing it all again tomorrow with Rob Dunwood joining us. Talk to you then.


This is Tonya Schwere from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and I would like to give you an overview of the rationale and the schema of the Meteor study in metastatic renal cell carcinoma. First, I would like to say that we do have several FDA approved agents for advanced RCC. None of these agents are curative. The agents that we have target essentially the VESCA, the vascular endothelial growth factor, as well as MTOR. And when patients stop responding to drugs that target the VESCA, such as seraphonib and others, this remains an unmet medical, there remains an unmet medical need and many challenges. There is a rationale to target both VEGF and MET, in fact, in renal cell cancer, and another interesting target in this disease. And this stemmed from the fact that resistance to the agents that target VEGF can be overcome by inhibition of MET, and MET itself seems a valid target in renal cell cancer. One drug in particular target both VEGF and MET. It's an oral drug that is called kabuzentinib, which showed evidence of anti-cancer activity in multiple solid tumor, including breast ovarian, prostate, liver cancers. And it's currently FDA approved for one indication, which is the medullary thyroid cancer. One study was conducted, a small study in renal cell cancer of 25 patients that showed some encouraging clinical activity in patients with metastatic advanced kidney cancer that have already progressed on multiple treatments, such as synitinib, pazapinib, and others, these drug that target the VEGF and the VEGF receptor. The response rate in the study was around 30%. But on that, a larger study is now planned and currently accruing called the Meteor clinical trial. The study will have 200 sites, and it's in several countries. It will be an open label study where patients that have already, their tumor, have grown on the drug that I mentioned, will be able to receive either kabuzentinib, the study drug, the experimental drug, or iverolimus, which is an acceptable second line option, which is an mTOR inhibitor, an oral mTOR inhibitor. This will be a 650 patient study with the primary endpoint measuring progression-free survival like many studies in this context. And we offered mostly to the most common type of kidney cancer, which is a clear-cell kidney cancer. The study will be open in multiple places, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. We will also look beside just the efficacy. We will be looking at the duration of response, the safety of the drug, and the most important and some element of quality of life with this drug compared to iverolimus. We will be also collecting blood and tissue in order to try as much as possible find any biomarker that can predict response to kabuzentinib in a better way. There is no limit on the number of additional anti-cancer therapies patients would have received. For more information, the study has a website. The website is www.meteorclinicaltrial.com. Thank you for your attention.


Once again, ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, and children, ladies, you're now tuned in to the Investor Show. As always, this is your greatest host, Prince of Investment, coming to you guys and girls live all the way from the beautiful city and state of Denver, Colorado, via Honolulu, Hawaii. Don't forget to hit that like, subscribe, comment, share button. And as always, I don't have a lot of time, and I definitely know you guys and girls don't have a lot of time, so we're going to shoot, jump, not shoot, but jump straight into it. All right, you all, you guys and girls have heard it. As of January 10th, the SEC has come out and said that they are, they have approved 10 Bitcoin ETFs, or spot ETFs or ETPs and things like that. This episode, that's exactly what we're going to do. We're going to talk about the ETFs. What does that mean? A look inside of them. Why is, why is Wall Street so interested in them? What is the SEC? Why are they the governing body? How did this happen? All those are the great things. So you guys and girls, stay tuned. So the first thing is, what is the SEC? The SEC is the governing body. It was created in the acts of 1933 and 1934. Like I used to always hear the military, hey, this is, this is law or this is written in blood. I used to think like written in blood, what does it mean? Is it that serious? No, it means that something has happened in the past that has created these laws or regulations. A prime example, you may read somewhere, do not touch this with, do not touch this wire. Why does it say don't touch this wire? Because somebody probably got electrocuted touching that wire while trying to do laundry. I don't know what I'm just hypothetically speaking. So the SEC came about right after the Great Depression. Great Depression happened in 1929. At the worst fall in the stock market, you see, sent the strength to the Great Depression on the crash of 29. Sent us straight into the Great Depression. This led us to create the securities acts of 1933 and 34. This was the haven of all of the regulation markets that you see today. Why do we need all this regulation? Because so many crazy, wild things had happened. People who shouldn't have had margin was using margin, using credit to buy stuff in the stocks. People, they were sketchy things on the market. I always reference this book called the greatest, the greatest trader ever, Jesse Livermore. Jesse Livermore talks about the market, how it was before the regulations came along, how he made so many profits, how you had so many dark pools, how people would get together and manipulate the market inside of trading at its worst, right? So to reinstall the confidence into the market, you had the SEC. The SEC became the watchdog to see what was out there to protect the consumers and investors. Because people would read a newspaper, and after they read that newspaper, they would say, hey, go buy, the newspaper ad would say go buy RCA stock. It has grown up 100% in the last year. So people would go out, take their money, put it into RCA, also go out and use credit, put it into RCA, put all this money into RCA just to realize that this was all manipulated. The RCA probably wasn't a real company. The RCA was lying about its finances. It was a pumping dump. We know what pumping dumps are, and when you're pumping up a stock, right? So you have people behind the scenes that will pump up and market this particular stock from one penny, all the way up to $20, have the common people get in, take it up to $50, then all the insiders get out, not at dumping it, right? So you had all that stuff happen that was very common on the market before the SEC came along. We learned that lesson. Great crash of $29 happened. Let us do the Great Depression. People lost all type of trust into the stock market. They lost trust into the financial system because so many people lost everything they had worked for, everything they had had. So right here, ladies and gentlemen, this is why we had the SEC, the Security Exchange Commission. So now this should give you the story to why when you have the Security Exchange Exchange Commission, this should give you the story of why people are so worried about this stuff. Why is that? Because they're trying to protect the investors. They don't want investors to get into something that's straight criminal. There's somebody that's scheming and scamming and pondering schemes and stuff like that. So before you are trading on the public market, you have to get registered with the SEC. For myself, for example, I'm a registered investment advisor here in Denver, Colorado. I'm registered with the SEC. You can go to brokercheck.com, put in my name. You can see what firms I work with. You can see what licenses I hold. When did I get those license? When did I register the firm's assets under management? Everything is an open book, right? That's what the SEC does. So the SEC has to look in to make sure to protect the public interest and the public worth all, right? So the first thing is, the first thing we look at is, now we know what the SEC is for. The SEC, they looked at the first Bitcoin ETF with grayscale. So grayscale brought it up and the SEC just denied them, right? Well, grayscale did not like it, right?  You deny us for this reason? Why did you do this? What was your reasoning and all the other good stuff, right? And they said, hey, the reasoning for doing this was, they didn't give them a reason. We don't owe you an explanation. They just didn't give them a reason. So grayscale took it to the court of appeals and the court of appeals said, hey, a security exchange commission, you at least owe them a reason of why, why not, why didn't you approve it?   And now the SEC has said that, hey, we don't endorse. We don't change our position on cryptocurrency. We're just looking at this particular product as we're looking at this particular product as is it safe enough to be on the particular market? So that's what they did. They looked at the particular product. They saw it's eligible to go into the market. And as long as it follows the security exchange commission, as long as it does everything that it reports its filings, it follows the rules of the road, they said, hey, why wouldn't we allow this to be traded? So they allow these spot ETFs. They declined 20 spot ETFs. They, you know, they approve 10. Now that we have these 10 ETFs, you got to ask yourself this question. Everybody in the cryptocurrency world says, hey, this is a huge victory. This is a huge victory for cryptocurrency. Not why I think everybody think it is a huge victory. It is a huge victory in my opinion because it brings to popularization. It brings accessibility to the market, right? Now it kind of give this credibility to it, right? Now retail investors, because you know, all before to get Bitcoin, you had to go use these other underground markets, right? You had to go, you know, download a certain app. You know, crypto.com, you heard the Coinbase is probably the most solid one out there, where there's the ones inside the crypto market, right? So what ended up happening was they looked at all these things in the crypto market. They looked at all these things and they turned around and said, hey, we're going to approve 10 spot ETFs. So the reason why Wall Street is into it, because I tell people, you got to ask yourself, why is Wall Street is so interested now? Why do they want to get into Bitcoin? Because one, this commercialization is happening to crypto currencies, making it more accessible, making people more likely to be in their 401Ks and retirements. It's raising money for the industry itself. Now, a lot of people thought, oh man, all this money is going to dump into crypto currency and it's going to shoot it up through the moon, right? That's not exactly true. What an ETF and an ETP is, is it tracks an index or an underlining asset? Let's say for hypothetical reasons, I created an ETF. You know, ETF costs about a million dollars to start and run with all the fees or whatever. Not to start, but to keep up and running. You're going to expect to spend about a million dollars. So you create this ETF. This ETF means nothing unless people are investing money into it. Well, how do I get people to invest money into it? So Wall Street set back and say, wow, we have this huge demand of people that want crypto currencies, right? And how can we take this huge demand of cryptocurrency and give them a vehicle to be able to get access to the cryptocurrency market?  So for prime example, you look at, let's say Fidelity, BlackRock, all these other people, they got these, they created these ETFs and these ETFs were created for the simple fact of collecting fees, in my opinion, right? They know they're going to, they're going to collect a 1%, 2%, B. They know it's popular and hot. We already had like a Bitcoin ETF called BITO, which, but that only was impacted by the futures of the market. So now what they're going to do, they're going to turn around and put the, they're going to turn around and take the market and say, hey, we only going to want this market for 30, no, for 3, 1 to 2%. So they created this ETF now and all this ETF is going to do is track the performance of Bitcoin. Track, that's what the ETF is doing. It is that it was going to buy a bunch of Bitcoin. It said it was going to track the performance of Bitcoin. So I see everybody going around, hey, Fidelity is getting into the business of Bitcoin. They're going to buy Bitcoin. I'm like, well, are they familiar with what an ETF is? An ETF tracks. I can create an ETF today to track Warren Buffett, right? Warren Buffett fund. Warren does this. I do this. The shares started at 30 bucks. If his portfolio does this, I do this. So it's mirror, it's mirror, it's almost mimicking someone, but it's not actually holding up cryptocurrencies. That's the misconception I think that most people are not paying attention to. They're putting it, when you buy an ETF, it does not mean you own the underlying asset. It means you can benefit from the moving of the moving of the underlying asset. So so many people are saying, oh, Fidelity is going to pump trillions into the cryptocurrency market. No, if I go and buy that ETF, my ETF is going to track the performance of the market, right? It is not going to, it's going to track the performance of the underlying asset of Bitcoin. Bitcoin price go up, the ETF goes up.  It's two totally different things. If I went out and spent $40,000 and brought one Bitcoin, right? First is if I spent $100,000 and brought one Bitcoin. I took $30,000 and brought one Bitcoin, or I took $30,000 and brought one Bitcoin ETF. One, if I brought one Bitcoin, I now own the asset, meaning it goes up, it goes up. I made $10%, I made $3,000 because I paid $30,000 forward. All those are good things, right? I can sell it, I own the actual asset. First is if I go get the ETF, I own a derivative of that asset, you know? For prime example, you can go purchase a gold ETF. Doesn't mean you own gold inside of your portfolio. It means that you own a device that tracks the performance of gold. So you can go call your local bank or your local gold trust and go in and say, hey, give me five bars of gold for, I don't know how much a bar of gold is going for today. Let's just say $100, which I know is very undervalued. But let's say I go buy a gold bar for $100. I put it in my house, I own this gold. First, if I take $100, can I go buy GLD? GLD is a gold ETF, right? That means that I'm going to benefit from the performance of gold. Doesn't mean I'm actually going to hold gold. Hope you guys follow me there.  I can purchase this gold now, right? But that's something I want people to keep in mind. Another thing is a good thing about this, we have the SEC, they're going to be doing filings. They have to do their filings with the SEC. So the SEC, for prime example, we have the financial industry is going to start reporting next week if I'm not mistaken, if not this week, they're going to start, we're going into earnings season. Going to have the financial industry usually followed by, I think, tech or something like that. All these industries have to do their filing and reporting. If they don't do their filing and reporting, they could be delisted.  And the SEC said that in their recent statement, I don't have it pulled up in front of me. But they said, hey, do not take this as a way that we have approved cryptocurrency. This is just something just to show that we are allowing it to be traded if it's placed within the warehouse. Now, we spoke about why you have these endorsements happening. Wall Street is getting into this game because of the demand. And maybe they know something that I don't know, right? But from what I can see, they haven't invested interest in everyday people putting their money in cryptocurrencies because they found a way to benefit from it. They can benefit from this due to the fact that people are trying to find ways, places to put money. And you know, we all heard stories, cryptocurrencies. I tell people now, I use them as lottery tickets. I'm sorry. I said it's a bad thing, but hey, that's how I look at them. So that's why you got to be careful with Wall Street being involved with them. Now with these 10, you have Fidelity. You also have Grayscale. I'm not sure if Vanguard was on that list. I don't have the list directly in front of me. But one of the ones I looked inside of was Fidelity, FBTC. Foxtrot, Bravo, Tango, Charlie. And the next one is Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF, Spot ETF. And it said about $38 as of, yes, last night when the market closed. So all it's going to do is follow the price of Bitcoin. So what I did, I looked up online to try to find how much would this thing cost. I wanted to find out how much it would cost and how much would it be if we went out and found this particular Bitcoin. So when I looked up their prospectus, the prospectus is the document that shows everything you must have. When I looked up the prospectus, they didn't have any information as of last night. They just got onto the market January 11th. So I wanted to see how much money was in it. What was the holdings, autos are the good thing. What was the fee structure, all those things, right? Which I expected to be pretty low because it is a passive ETF and a passive ETF just tracks. A passive ETF is not actively managed. This means that one person can just look at it and just kind of move on, right? So when you look at this, this is a huge win. This is a way for retail investors. And when I say retail investors, we're talking about people with the E-Trade Interactive Brokers account who may have an individual brokerage account, who may want to expose their children to it, buy some for their kids, stuff like that. Or this could be looking at it as far as crypto currencies, right? Looking at it as far as getting access to retirement accounts. So those things are the three biggest things that you can see now. And also, I want to get into the difference between ETPs, ETNs, and ETFs.  So this is an ETP and some people call it ETP ETF. It's a exchange-traded product. So all this thing is going to do is look at, hey, we're going to track the product. For a prime example, you could create an ETF that's going to track the growth rate of elephants in South Africa. And people can invest into the growth rate of South African elephants and track it on a particular market. So the SEC, this is a huge step forward. Now that they've started to create an ETF, maybe they may go further. Or maybe not, right? So those are the cool things we must pay attention to. The other thing I want to hit on with this is you're seeing a lot of endorsements starting to come out, right? What's happening with this ETP, now you can buy and sell it every day. Meaning you can use your favorite day trading formulas on it, right? You can use your favorite day trading formulas on it. You can see what's going to happen and when is it going to collapse and when is it going to go up? All those other type of things, right? So those are things you've got to pay attention to in the particular market as you pay attention to the market today, right? So pay attention to the ETFs, you can get exposure. If you own an E-Trade, if you own an Interactive Brokers, if you have a 401k land around somewhere, you can benefit from the price of Bitcoin going up or down, you know, via the ETFs. It's the same thing, ETFs are nothing new. You have ETFs that travels, that follows all type of industries, beauty, S&P 500, the NASDAQ, derivatives short, tall. I'm talking about short, I meant long. Short long, you know, long is on the bullish side, bear side, and I'm sorry, long is on the bullish side, and the short is on the bear side. I mean, you can bet against the market, bet against the NASDAQ. It's ETPs that use derivatives. It's a derivative that follows something else, right? It's just like when you buy a call contract, I buy 100 shares, 100, I buy one contract, which is 100 shares of Apple, and I can buy it and sell it. I don't even own Apple. I can buy it and sell it because it is a derivative that has an underlining asset that it follows. So that was another big thing that I wanted to bring up. And we know the SEC, this is an ongoing process, meaning they can pull this off at any time. We probably remember when this happened with the AMC. You had AMC. I forgot these other stocks that was in there. People were manipulating and vying for $2 and shooting the market up or whatever. And you saw how they got delisted. People closed off the computers, investigated the company. So yeah, that's the way you want to look at it. You look at different investments that are out there. So the ETPs usually in chain-shared products usually have very low volume, but with all the hype around Bitcoin and all the hype around these different things, I think we might be in for a surprise, right?  Because so many people are like, oh, this is the end Bitcoin has made it. Definitely made a giant step forward, being commercialized, and people getting involved with it all some type of way. They're looking out the window, but they haven't gotten in the bed all the way. So time will tell. Time is going to be the greatest measure. Time will tell us the most what we're looking for and what we want to know as well. So inside of these ETPs right now, you're looking at some of their perspectives. A lot of them are just saying, hey, we're going to be a derivative and we're going to watch Bitcoin and if Bitcoin go up, we're going to make our shares go up. Bitcoin goes down, our shares will go down. So now the big thing is more players involved, more people can play.  I know my generation, you know, we're about that late 30s, mid to late 30s, early 40s generation. That generation there, some of us really believe in Bitcoin, but some of us got burned in the last couple of years, you know, when Bitcoin started taking those dive, you know, because nobody cares about how great an investment is doing as long as they're making money. It's not to the point where they're no longer making money is when everybody starts to get nervous. So the thing is I've always wondered the thing that get cryptocurrency is very great spell and very great things that don't market was, you know, a good marketing pitch, a good marketing promotion and people said that it can travel fast, it can do all type of things, right? But my question has always been, has Bitcoin really has shown us what it can do? AI, AI has shown us, hey, we can write a story, we can write a podcast, we can write a book, we can write an article, we can write a press release. We know who Prince Dykes is, we know who his wife is. We know, you kind of got all AI has shown is value versus with Bitcoin. Most people just get it because it goes up in price. I haven't seen too many people get it and then take it to a vending machine and buy a cup of ice cream, all that stuff. Most people get it because they hear, hey, it's a good investment. I bought one share for 20,000 bucks and hopefully one day it can go up to millions of dollars, right? Which is kind of untrue because not that Bitcoin won't go up. It's just that most people that are in today at this price and let's say it's Bitcoin sky rack is to $1,000. How many people are going to hold on to those shares? Not that many. Now, I know what you're going to tell me. Some of y'all are going to DM me on Prince. I would have easily done this and I would have looking forward to, I would, yeah. I was talking to my father-in-law. He was saying, man, I had the opportunity to buy Apple back in the 70s and I decided not to do it and I look at Apple today. And I said, well, you know what? To be honest with you, had you brought Apple, I don't think you would have kept it for 40 years. I think you probably haven't had it as soon as it doubled. You made 100% of your money. You'd have been like, yeah, I'm out. I made 100% of my money. I made 200% of my money. So how many people will hold them if Bitcoin start to repeat their tariff back in 2020, 2021, I think when everybody became cryptocurrency experts. I was supposed to talk about it on my show. I went down to sit down with some Bitcoin people. All those things start bringing on Bitcoin people to see what people wanted the cryptocurrencies. But yeah, that was definitely a time to be alive. You don't see that anymore, but you can easily get somebody with your program because you can just tell them, hey, we're doing something that's going to create generational wealth. And you might be able to find somebody who is in agreement with you and wants to share your things with you. So yes, that is your Bitcoin ETF. That's a quick snapshot look inside of it.  Just came out July, not June, I'm sorry, June 11th, last week, Thursday. So here we are at the end of Tuesday. It's only been on the market for three days. So it has a lot of testing and trial and two, at least ETFs. What Bitcoin is going to do is start to render his head and try to make a comeback. What is it going to do? What is it going to say? So, yeah, definitely got to watch it, you know, watch and see what happens in the world today. It's definitely a great step forward, a great step for Coinbase, a great step for, you know, people who, I guess, who own the cryptocurrencies, but time will tell. And Oliver Lech, Shout to Oliver Lech, he's been a very good point. And he said, you know what? Bitcoin doesn't need the public market. It has shown that. Very good point because usually when companies get to the SEC, they've been on the market for a while. They've been established for a while. They work their way up. All these other good things, right? Bitcoin kind of came out of nowhere. And once it came out of nowhere, people don't know, hey, what does this thing mean? How does it operate? How does it do everything? Right? So Bitcoin has shown that it knows how to turn it to, I don't even know how much Bitcoin is worth now. Multi-billions of dollars, at least billions, billions of dollars asset was created offline from the market. So when you look at the flat line of how did the stocks perform versus how did Bitcoin perform, Bitcoin is nowhere near closed. Right? So I've seen the notion that, hey, Bitcoin doesn't need Wall Street. Wall Street needs Bitcoin. Which you guys and girls think, right? Wall Street doesn't need Bitcoin. Bitcoin needs Wall Street when you look at the rate of return. Over the last two year tear, I mean last year wasn't too good in 2023 for Bitcoin. But 21 and 22 had a great years, right? You couldn't turn away. Everybody was either creating a cryptocurrency, naming their kids behind a cryptocurrency. They was looking to buy cryptocurrency, right? Last year wasn't a hot year. A lot of people got off the bandwagon. So, yeah, so that's a quick look, a quick dive into the SEC and the Bitcoin ruling. I hope you guys and girls got something out of this episode. I hope you, if you got any questions, you could definitely drop a comment below. Tell me what you think about this Bitcoin ETF. Will you be buying a Bitcoin ETF? Do you think it's a great idea? Or do you think this was bad? The SEC allows something like this to come along. After Charlie Munger said, this is crazy. RRP to Charlie Munger, right? So that's going to conclude today's topic. Today's episode, as always, my name is Prince Dykes. I'm the Prince of Investment. Until the next video podcast, Cartoon, or whatever else crazy you see me do around the globe. And I almost forgot one thing. Check out my book series, Wesley Learns. Wesley Learns to Invest, Wesley Learns by Credit, and Wesley Learns by Insurance. And come April 12th, if you didn't know, if you didn't guess it, go tell your mom and them and all your friends. I'm writing my fourth book in my series. It's been published titled, Wesley Learns about Real Estate. Those kids will learn about investing, credit, insurance, and real estate if you propose these, you know, with this book series. And we're going to turn kids into first-time shareholders of stock. So ladies and gentlemen, that's me, Prince Dykes, the founder of the Global Children's Financial Leadership Foundation, Royal Financial Investment Group, and the host of Think Tech Hawaii, the Prince of Investment. Until the next video podcast, Cartoon, whatever else crazy you see me do around the globe. I'll be sure y'all come out this time. Please be safe. I'm out and thank you.

Incarceration of the Yoruba Nation Activists Sunday at DEMO, aka Sunday Boho, by another six months, contrary to speculations following the announcement by an Abuja-based human rights lawyer, Bellumi Olajengbesi, at the weekend that the Boho will soon be released from detention. However, cancelled to a Boho chief, Yomi Aliyu, S.A.N., says the Benna Republic government has renewed the incarceration without any hearing or extradition requests from Nigeria. And it Boho has been in detention in the Benna Republic since he was arrested at the Kotonu Airport by West African National Security Forces while he was trying to visit Germany in July 2020. Fresh news updates


Hello, everyone, and welcome to the June edition of Wired for Hybrid. This month was a busy one. So Michael and I will get right into it, so stick around. Hey, Michael, how you doing? Awesome, Pierre. How are you? I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Vacation plans on your end? We had a vacation a couple of weeks ago, kind of just hanging around the home for a while. We got something later in July. But maybe take a little bit of extra time over the July 4th weekend. But pretty much just chilling around the house, dealing with the, unfortunately, we're getting the after effects of the Canadian wildfires are finally reached us down here in Wisconsin, which is kind of a tragic thing up there. But I digress. What do you got going up for vacations? Well, based on those fires that are raging up here, I'm kind of playing it by year, so I'm not sure if I'm going to go in July or August. We'll figure it out maybe a little later, if hopefully, though, everything gets under control. But anyway, as I mentioned, this was a busy month. Absolutely. And so like one of the things that we released is actually kind of a it's a twofer, so a two and one. So we had a general release for ICMPV for pings being supported on load balancer.  So you can use ping and trace route. ICMPV four and V six to verify your load balancer and the workloads behind them. So people might be like, well, I've done this before. Not over ICMP. You probably have not. You've been using other tools like TS ping, some that go over different protocols. But now that we have that support for ICMPV four and V six use using those two tools that are available to pretty much everybody. That's very cool, because we've been waiting for that forever. Yeah, you know, one of the important things for people to remember is that, OK, you're not actually going through the load balancer and to your workloads. Load balancer is taking your request. It's doing the work for you, providing you the request back. OK, so it's not actually going through. It's just the load balancer is telling you, yes, that the workload is there. You're we're good. Absolutely. So, you know, people don't have to worry. Oh, now they opened up ICMP. Now, you know, I got to worry about pings of death and things from the late nineties are going to come back and haunt me. No, you don't have to worry about that. Is that load balancers handling all of that? And chances are that's probably handled somewhere up the stack from load balancer, but you don't have to worry about those back end workloads because they're going to be they'll be perfectly fine. And you'll be able to tell both on-prem so you can do it from your on-prem clients. You can also do it from inside Azure virtual machines as well. If you need to test the load balancers from an Azure VM. And I worked on the documentation with the product team on this. So we have it fully documented for you, whether you're running Windows or Linux, the tools for each platform, we have you totally covered. So definitely check out our documents. If you're interested in this and need more info on it. I mean, it's not for it's not rocket science. It's ping. It's a tool we've been using for 30 odd years. But I think it's an important tool now in your tool set that you can use along with everything else for managing your workloads. Absolutely. I believe your second item is also about load balancer. Absolutely. So one of the things that we just went GA is that Azure load balancer per VM limit has been removed. So previously virtual machines on Azure had a limit to the number of load balancers that they were allowed. So you could have one public and one internal. Now those have been removed and you're just simply limited to the limits for load balancers, virtual machines that are in Azure. And we've got a link for you to go through all of those limits as well.  But I think there's probably some instances where you'll definitely have multiple VMs or multiple load balancers connecting to a VM or a workload. Well, I can see scenarios where if you've got like your front end and you've got your business logic and you've got your database and you may have like file storage somewhere that some or all of those tiers of your application need to be behind a load balancer depending on how it's architected, of course. Yep. Absolutely. So, you know, as we see our organizations in the cloud starting to scale and starting to get more complex you know, this removes one of those limits for a mature product like load balancer, just simply opening it up based on customer needs and the needs of organizations as they're growing. OK. OK, what's your third item for this month? So the last thing I have for us is related to Azure Firewall. So generally available now have access to policy analytics for Azure Firewall. And this is a pretty cool add on because what this does is this is going to look at your policies and rules and allow you to be able to monitor your policies and rules. Why this might be important is that one of the things that we've seen in the cloud, just like we've been dealing with for decades on prem is that as you use something over a period of time you start layering stuff on top of each other. And as administrators, we all know how hard it is to really see what is the effect of all of these hands that have been in here making changes. So this allows you to be able to get better visibility into the policies and rules that are impacting your organization. So this might be perhaps you've over policy, your organization, and it's both and now you're blocking legitimate traffic because of mismatching rules or maybe because you've have so much stuff going on, you have a new attack threat, but you thought it was covered, but it's not being covered. And you're not sure where, you know, something's going wrong because, you know, somebody might have thrown in a allow rule in there where it should have been a deny.  So this gives you some great visibility into your firewall, which, you know, I think you can agree with me is probably for your Azure workloads, one of the most important security pieces as part of your Azure networking infrastructure, along with a well architected network network layout. Yeah. And any time you get more visibility and monitoring capabilities into your environment, because monitoring capabilities inherits like alerting and so on and reporting, that's just good practice to have. Absolutely. Absolutely. So that covers mine. So I think you've got some cool stuff for Azure Front Door for us, right? I do. I do.  I have a three-fer, meaning there are three announcements. Pardon me? You're always looking atop me, aren't you? Well, it just happened that way, but it's not a competition, Michael. It is not a competition. No, Azure Front Door, three announcements. Number one is that Azure Front Door integration with managed identity is generally available. And to me, out of the three announcements, this is the one that people should pay the most attention to. It means that your Azure Front Door now can become a managed identity within Azure AD. Could be a system-generated identity or user-generated identity. But because it's got it's now a known entity within Azure and AD, now we can assign some access rights to that. So for example, your Azure Front Door may now would have access or managed access to your key vault for certificates, for secrets that if it needs to access a hardened like storage array or anything of that nature. So that's really big in terms of security. But also eliminating like secret rollover that we have to do all the time if it's configuration based.  That's awesome. That's awesome. The number two and number three announcements for Azure Front Door are kind of related. So number one is you can now upgrade from premium or from standard to premium without any downtime.  There are no migration. There are no downtime. It's just as soon as you turn it on you now have access to those added capabilities that premium gives you and those added capabilities are WAF that's included and also private link at no additional cost. Of course, there's like the Microsoft managed rule set that is not available in standard but is available in a premier or premier premium. And if you have any info, I'll add the link down there for the comparison of the different tiers. The third and final announcement for Front Door is kind of related to that. But if you want to migrate, let's say, or if you want to up your tier from classic and I'm not even sure if you're allowed to deploy classic anymore. I don't think so. I don't think so. We'll make sure that it's in the show notes. Anyways, if you have classic and you want to go to standard or if you want to go to premium because classic, you have to create your profile and if you will go from classic to standard, normally you'd have to recreate your profile or migrate your profile. Now there's a generally available way of doing the migration to automate the migration for you. So it basically takes your profile and moves it over on your behalf without you having to recreate everything manually. Oh, that's cool. Those are the three announcements for Front Door and I think, like I said, the managed identity one is far and beyond the most important, the most valuable one that I can see here. Yeah, for sure. It just allows you to better manage and not have to worry about a bunch of different things. I also think moving the classic to standard standard to premium without downtime. I think that'll help a lot of organizations because there might be times where one of the things you get with premium is you get that bot protection is like, if you're coming under an attack and it's coming from bots and you want to flip the switch on that, if you have to put it into a project and do a migration and stuff like that, nobody wants this. Now you can just go through the process boom, you don't have to worry about your stuff going down. You can bring that protection online. So I think it's, you know, one of the things you've mentioned previously we've talked about throughout these shows, our products are evolving based on our customer feedback and they're not necessarily becoming different. We're just adding those fine tuning to allow you to better utilize these and to provide you the better value and more security and protection in your environments. Yeah, and those changes, as you mentioned, are based on your feedback. And I'm talking to not you, Michael, but the audience watching this. So if you have more feedback, like leave it down here. I will probably give you a link here where you can give your feedback and we'll connect you to the right product group. But it is definitely in response to customer feedback. Awesome. And I think you have one more for us. I do, I do. So the last one is we now have private link support for application gateways. So as you know, application gateway is a layer of four kind of load balancer or a web traffic load balancer. It allows you to like manage incoming traffic to different pools in the back. So nothing has changed. So if you've got, it's still an IP port to IP port, but also making decisions based on if the URI has like video in it, it'll send it to the pool that's like optimized for video and so on. So none of that has changed. Now, what has changed is that the incoming to a load balancer can come from a private endpoint or private link. So what that means is if you have all of your workstations in an hybrid environment, whether they're VDI stations in the cloud or physical stations in your environment connecting through a remote gateway or virtual gateway, you can actually go through your own VNets without ever hitting the internet through that private link to your application. So if it's an internal based application, you can do that. You can do that from different tenants and different subscriptions. So that kind of opens up possibilities in terms of how you secure traffic between your people, your clients and your application. That's awesome. And I think that's, as we're seeing as the growing and the progression of people's cloud workloads is that we're seeing more things that people are working with in the cloud, not just connecting to it, but inside.  Again, a great addition to allow you to be able to use that Azure backbone and keep things off the public internet. And so this is a great addition, great, just another great, I'm sure based on hundreds of customers, you know, stuff like that and telemetry and little squirrels finding things. Anyway, we will continue to work on that. And if you continue to give us your feedback, we will continue to make changes. Absolutely. All right. Hey Michael, it was absolutely wonderful to see you again. Last time we talked was right before your vacation. So welcome back and for you at home, please like and subscribe so that you don't miss any of them. We had two deep dives that we published a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago. Take a look at those. I'll also put the link down here. And if you have any suggestion as to what kind of Azure or hybrid networking you want us to deep dive in, let us know in the comments below. And with that being said, Michael, thanks for another great participation. Absolutely. Thanks for having me Pierre. Have a good one everybody. Cheers.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical old little here So I'm talking about scream 7 in this video here today now This is mostly gonna be a theory video But I wanted to address something that I know has been making the rounds online for the past couple of days Related to the fact that it seems screams 7 has reportedly or is rumored to have been greenlit And it's gonna start shooting later this year now This is coming to us from screen geek and nobody from Paramount has made a mention of this Nobody from spy glasses made a mention of this nobody from radio silence has made a mention of this nobody from projects X Project X entertainment has made a mention of this nobody associate with any of the past two screen movies that we have now Who received has mentioned anything about this But I wouldn't be too shocked to find out that this is true Given that screen 5 had screen 6 written and ready to go prior to its release in 2022 And there was a blackmore unit or blackmore working title production office already established in Canada prior to the release of screen 5 and In between the events of filming 5 and now with the release of 6 That's plenty of time to not only write screen 6 map out an outline for 7 And we now have heard that it's rumored from viewer or not that they are deep in the writing process of Completing screen 7 so I wouldn't be too shocked to learn that they have completed the script for screen 7 within the next month Or so and then you get a report telling us that scream 7 will indeed film later this year It's just not something that's officially been announced by any headlines like variety bloody disgusting or any of the major sites That people usually go to With more credibility people would like to say but I want to share my thoughts on where I could see scream 7 Going in terms of a storyline and you guys can let me know if you think it's really gonna shoot later this year Down in the conversation below, but this is an idea. I've considered for screen 7 It's more of an in-depth look of what I've been saying should happen for a while Minor spoilers ahead of course for screen 6 based on what I'm saying about 7 This is mostly about 7 but it's gonna be based on again things that have happened in screen 6 and things that have happened in the past screen movies as well So with scream 7 again spoiler warned if you don't want any spoilers and haven't seen screen 6 shouldn't be watching I mean most of it might be vague But so it screams 7 I firmly believe we need to address the exploitation head-on with a motive that is Acknowledging the end of the series for now by offering up a killer who wants to put an end to every survivor That could possibly spark a new ghost face spree and cause pain to several people around them like these sprees always seem to do They always seem to do more harm to everyone around them than actually to the real targets of the spree or at least That's how it appears to our killers who see themselves as the heroes acting for the greater good of society These people hate Hollywood. They hate the stab franchise They hate true crime series and they especially especially hate people like Gale Weathers for their exploitative exploitive ways in scream 7 what I could see happening is a true crime series Going on based on the on the life of every woodsboro murder or murderer I should say or major copycat that has been on the air at this point in this movie for at least two years now season 1 covered Billy and his mother season 2 covered Roman Bridger and Jill Roberts season 3 covered Amber and Richie and now season 4 is Covering the recent killers in scream 6. That's the gist of what I'm getting at Of course, that'll be a nice parallel to what we saw in scream 3 Now season 4 is currently in production in Modesto. I'll say and Gale Weathers is executive producing the series She hasn't been from the very beginning Gale also has a new boyfriend named Franklin I'll just say it's three years after the events of six So Tara and her friends are out of college and the sisters still have a broken relationship with their mother Christina Sam is actually we learn now working with Leslie Mocker who owns a small business related to Chrysler's counseling So there's another screen 3 parallel the opening kill I would say can be the showrunner of this true crime series based on the real woodsboro events and Sydney Prescott can be shown out to dinner with them during the opening. So this is how we loop in Sydney Prescott She's not divorced or anything. That's not what I'm saying But the showrunner wants Sydney to consider working on a documentary about the woodsboro events with them and Invited her to dinner in Modesto to discuss it now This would act as a reason Sydney has to stay behind since she would be the last person close to the showrunner prior to their death And she would be a person of interest and brought in for questioning of course Can Kate can join her just because his wife's there take time off from work to come join his wife there other crew members Working on this show start dying We also meet Christina Carpenter finally who was asked to participate in this documentary to address her relationship with Billy Loomis, which is something she doesn't mind doing anymore since her daughter ruined the secret. She was trying to have Christina's death would be the reason Sam and Tara ultimately get involved So in my scream 7 ideally it is shifting the focus to Gail and Sydney for at least the first act and then our Core 4 will return after that first and a little bit of the second act by the end you get four people unmasked as Ghostface You have gales boyfriend Franklin who is actually Tara's dad who orchestrated everything in the events of scream 6 not Or in the events of scream 7 I mean to say he had nothing to do with the events of 5 and 6 It's not gonna be like a Roman Bridger thing, but he is responsible for 6 his partner Leslie Mocker Danny Sam's returning boyfriends from scream 6 and another crew member involved with this show the primary motive from Leslie Mocker and Tara's dad is stopping the exploitation and curing society of people like our our main survivors who do nothing but experience tragedies that hurt others while They continue to live and profit off the experience while the others involve who were hurt as well Or you could argue were hurt more hurt just as much as they were if not more They they just fade into nothing the media doesn't talk about these people It doesn't talk about how these tragedies have affected the innocent bystanders in all of this Leslie can give a whole speech about how no one ever wonders how Billy's actions Ruin the innocent Mockers that are not stew because they did nothing Meanwhile two people close to Billy like Sam and Sydney continue to be acknowledged as the innocent victims But the truth is Leslie and her parents were innocent as well, but no one seems to care They are ridiculed in in public Or at least that's what it was like for them after the events of scream and that's what Leslie's life has kind of been like She's been ridiculed. She's maybe struggled to get jobs So much stuff that she's kind of went through all because her brother did this and she blames that on Billy Loomis It is now taking that aggression out on the girl the past girlfriend of Billy Loomis and His past or not his past but his daughter and then ultimately from miss. She's also mad about the death of her son Vince so Gail especially is not someone they like because Gail is fine with this stuff Continuing they don't like the movies or the TV shows They don't like these tragedies being exploited But they especially hate Gail because she really doesn't care as long as she's making a profit from it all Ultimately Tara's dad you will find out removed his way into Gail's life had already previously met Leslie and the two blackmailed One of the crew members to assist while also convincing Danny to participate by telling him they'd pay him money So yes, the partners are useless. I don't have a good idea my head for the partners just yet But still they're here as usual Tara's dad is absolutely upset about Sam breaking up their family And he was mad at Christina for lying to him for years So that is how I could see scream 7 playing out you guys can let me know what you think about this down the comment section Lo what do you think about the possibility of having this be more of a Sydney and Gail type of centric movie up front before it brings in the core for that We've gone grown to know in love from the events of scream 5 and 6 let me know just think about this down the comment section below if you haven't already course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification You never miss a video in the description. I'll have links on my social media accounts I am on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there of course to let me know if there any movies news or reviews You'll like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video
