Today was the culminating event with our javelin cross-training course. Over the past two weeks they were taught basic operators maintenance, the things we run through each time we pull a command launch unit, they were taught targeting engagement, scouting patrolling methods, thermal defeat methods, as well as misfire procedures and hangfire or any immediate action for malfunctions for the weapon system itself. We essentially ran through various stations ranging from basic paper javelin tests to armor identification, immediate actions for the javelin weapon system, and then here at the Armory to engage actual missiles in an emotional environment, simulating real javelin shots. The lethality of the unit here at Tutu was increased by us teaching this course because it got the javelin weapon system into the line companies organically so that they have their own element for anti-armor.


Good morning and welcome to the official day one of the conference, Mr. Ryan is here. Good morning. I'm wearing my sparkle jacket and somebody else's sparkling in blue. Tell us about your fit. Suits from Express. Turtle neck is from Amazon. White sneakers are from Amazon. I've worn all weekend. Woohoo! Okay, so my jacket is from Amazon. This shirt is from Go Wild in Las Vegas. Pants are from Tarjay. Shoes are Puma Several years ago. I think I got them at Nordstrom. Nordstrom Rack, maybe I don't know. But we are headed down a little bit early because we're in the social team. So we get to take some extra footage and stuff like that. So I'll take you guys around and Once I talk to you again, we'll be in the room. So let's have a... Go Wild if you want.  So let's have a great day at Go Wild day one and I'll see you very soon. Bye! Okay, so I'm in the room before the Madness ensues, which is gonna happen right at these doors. I'm actually sitting at this table here. It is a company called Kubo and Lucy, a stationery company. I'm gonna tag them down below, but I wanted to show you their table before Everybody sat down. So give me a second. So this is one of the little place settings and there's this cute little like, I don't know. Cooler thing. Lots of different stuff. And I'm gonna take you around to some of the tables right now. But this is the company. Super cute. Something is going on with my contact and I just Couldn't deal anymore. So I had to pull out my contact. Pull the contacts out of my eyeballs and thankfully, I have my glasses. Yeah, I'm missing a little bit of a session right now, but Couldn't stand it anymore. I felt like something was in my eye, like not my contact, but something. And it's still, like my eye still hurts, so I don't know. It started happening in the middle of the first speaker. So I don't know, but we're good now. We're good. So I'm...  So I don't know if it's just like my skin or traveling or just being in a different environment. I don't know, but I feel like I'm, I feel like I'm breaking out. So I don't know. It's my face now. We're just gonna have to deal with it. It's gonna be okay, but So Ryan and I got back to the room. There he is, diligently working his little bones away. His little, his little bony fingers away. He's doing emails and stuff. But yeah, we got back to the room and it was quite late in the day. It was like two-ish or so. We ordered Chipotle and got that delivered here and had some Chipotle and hung out and just decided to chill for the rest of the evening. So it is six-something right now. We need to be down at the Wild Crop at 7, so I'm gonna take you along for that. We had a great day at session. I know I like kind of took you guys around doing a little video montage previous to this and We had a great time. We didn't sit together, but that's okay. It's a different point of view. Ryan, where did you sit? I sat at the sticker party and it was so cute and it had a coffee crisp. So you knew I was gonna be happy. And it had a lacrax. It had a lacroix.  Just kiss. So good. It was so much fun and our table was so fun. They were so sweet. Oh, I love them.  And then of course obviously today some of the sessions like towards the end especially add some pretty heavy hefty like feely stuff in them and the thing I love about Emily is we are polar opposites in this land where like I really dive into that stuff and like was crying multiple times. Thank you at Alex L. Love her. She's just at Alex on Instagram because like claimed that that's cool. Yeah, had me crying up a storm, writing all sorts of letters in my planner. Like it was a lot, but it was like needed for me and it was beautiful and cathartic and like the energy in her was spectacular. So yeah, I was kind of tired, which is why we took a little soos. Yeah. Yeah, it was extremely emotional for a lot of people and I I can't bring myself to participate in that and I value that it's important to a lot of people. I am just, I'm not your girl for that and that's okay. I mean, I know that about myself and that's totally okay, but anywho. So we are gonna take you to the um, Wild Crop, which is like lots of different things and then we have like a breakout session and Ryan and I are in the same session and it's sponsored by Once More With Love, which is stickers, a sticker shop that, well actually has washi too, but it's mostly stickers, but I have a bunch of stuff at home that I love of hers, so I'm excited to share what we're gonna do. So we're gonna go down there in just a little bit. Any other thoughts, Mr. Ryan? No, I mean it was a great time. Like the thing I love about this conference is it really makes you think differently about like it pulls you out of your everyday life when you're having to like go from one work task to the next and it lets you like think as a person about your life and fulfillment, like as much as that stuff like doesn't come up in your everyday life, like it's fun to just be in a space and to continue to feel safe and supported and I don't know, also everybody looked amazing today. Oh my gosh, yes. Out of its on point energy to the moon, like it was just nuts. I was... You were wearing your blue. It was! I was wearing my sparkle. I'm now in a light like lavender hoodie because this seems more appropriate for tonight, but but yeah. It was a great day and there's still more to come which is a crazy part of this, right? There's like still a whole other thing. We have two more sessions today and then all day tomorrow, right? So anyway, we're gonna let go and we will see you. When we have more things to talk about. Okay, bye. We want to be once more with love one. Let's show you what we did. Let me turn it around. Okay, so we got... He's taking out the trash apparently. So we got... Well, we made these. It's like a little washy box. You can put like your washy inside. Yeah, he's got a little butt. Look at that. Wow. And then these fit with the once more with love sticker sheets, which is really cute. And then this is the little swag that we got from Marg from once more with love. So three little washy tapes, a coffee crisp, which this one's very excited about. And then some stickers, which is exciting.  And he and then I didn't have time to answer and Ryan's like, she sure does. So I got this but I don't I think I would have been murdered in my sleep if I kept it. So yeah, and then there's a bunch of things that we got from Zebra and the presenters that did that. So that was exciting. Oh, we should show them the crafts. We did the damas club. Oh, I didn't do my crafts. I know, I know. So Ryan's gonna show you the craft in a minute here, but he's got to find his craft. So but the plan for tonight. So I haven't seen Hamilton. I know. I know. Angry comments. Angry comments. Go ahead. I know. I have to be like a decade or more and then I'll like get on board with things, okay? So I am gonna watch Hamilton tonight. I have Disney Plus on my phone. So I think I'm gonna watch that and Ryan will probably fall asleep while I'm watching it, but that's okay. It'll be fine. I've never experienced the Hamilton. So we will see. Would you like to demonstrate your thing? Oh, no, I'm just saying hi. I thought you're gonna demonstrate your... Oh, yeah, this guy. So we had to make a little flip bookie album thing. Yeah, I decided that because I'm weird. Instead of like doing photos of it now, I would do, so this is Wild Memories. And then it opens up and it's got registration day. So I'll throw some like fun blurbs and stuff in there. And we've got day one. And then surprise to everyone. A day two. Well... And then I decided to throw a page for Plangema because it is one of my favorites. Then on the back it just says, See You Like a Wild 2024. Yay! Yeah, I don't know. I was excited. I finally did a craft. He was feeling crafty that one. So yeah, but that is what we did at the crop, which was really fun. It was very different than last year. Some similarities, some differences, but you know, they kind of refine things year after year. So anyway, I'm gonna call it quits here. I'm gonna watch the Hamilton's and maybe Ryan will report back how I felt about the Hamilton tomorrow. It would be a big topic of conversation tomorrow morning. Yeah, exactly. So and then tomorrow is the last full day of everything and yeah, we're excited. We're excited. So we will see you tomorrow on Ryan's channel. See you later. Bye! See ya. Well folks, it's time to kick it old school.


This 10th year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you, including Jeffery Zilx, Kriya Ardham, Tony Glass, and one of our top lifetime supporters, Alan Stearns. On this episode of DTNS, the EU officially names the gatekeeper companies under the DMA. Google starts testing playables in YouTube, and remember that last pass breach? Cause crypto hackers sure do. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, September 6, 2023, in lovely Cleveland, Ohio. I'm Rich Strafilino. And from the middle of the state of Ohio, I'm Rob Dunwood from Columbus. Scott Johnson here from Salt Lake City. And from some remote locations, Southern California on the shows producer, Roger Chang. Real quick here, yesterday, Tuesday, September 5th, Google came to a tentative agreement to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the US Google Play Store violated US federal antitrust rules. Details of the settlement, not disclosed, we don't know the details, and it's still subject to approval by the court. Enough with that, let's get on with the rest of the quick hits. According to Mozilla's Privacy Not Included project, every major car brand that Mozilla tested, and there are 25 of them, failed to adhere to the most basic privacy and security standards in new internet connected models. BMW, Ford, Toyota, Tesla, and Subaru all collect data about race, weight, and health information.  What's worse is Mozilla could not determine if collected data is encrypted and many brands engage in privacy washing, a practice making customers think they don't have to worry about privacy issues when the opposite is actually true. Wow, it's ironic that Nissan Leaf barely covers you if you know what I'm saying. According to documents filed by ARM ahead of its initial public offering, the company signed a new deal with Apple to provide access to chip technology that extends beyond 20 to 40, is the quote. This agreement was mentioned in ARM's previous IPO filings, indicating it was signed in the last three weeks. Apple was among a number of large technology companies that, well, on Tuesday invested $735 million in ARM's initial public offering. The register reports that Google began expanding user rollout for Chrome's new Enhanced Add Privacy, which will eventually replace third-party cookies. Pop-ups announcing topics API started appearing to some users all the way back in July with Chrome 115. Of course, the topics API allows for personalized ads based on anonymized browser history directly. It's not sending out any third-party cookies. It's talking directly to the browser to get topics of interest to serve ads. Users can opt out of using the topics API in Chrome settings. Google, this is all relevant because Google plans to drop support for third-party cookies next year. Oh, the Pixel 8 Pro. Is there nothing you can't leak? Google temporarily added the still unannounced device to its 360-degree simulator, confirming a number of features. There's a physical SIM slot, a new temperature sensor, and three color waves, blue, porcelain, and black. Google has a launch event scheduled for October 4th, presumably to announce the Pixel 8, among other things. Moving over to Apple, Apple made more forays into the classical music market. This is how they did it. They acquired a 50-year-old Swedish classic label, this, or VIS. This is a big deal in the classical music world, bringing over VIS's extensive catalog with founder Robert Von Barr now working in the Apple Music Classical Division. Von Barr said he was drawn to Apple and their belief in, quote, preserving audio quality, unquote, as well as expanding recording to support tech-like spatial audio. All right, well, remember last year's LastPass breach? I mean, who can forget where they were when they heard about it? You know what happened, more than 25 million users. Had their password vault stolen? Good times were had by all. Well, the founder of the popular software cryptocurrency while at MetaMask, Taylor Monahan, is definitely marking that on his calendar, for sure. Well, and a report to Krebs on security, Monahan, along with other researchers, have identified a pattern among recent strings of crypto thefts affecting more than 150 people and with a loss of at least $35 million in crypto. According to tweets from Monahan, all of the victims that you'd LastPass to store their, quote, seed phase or phrase, rather, unquote, the private key that you need that to unlock your cryptocurrency. Krebs believes this points to the thieves using stolen LastPass data to access the crypto wallets. Both Krebs and Monahan strongly suggest anyone affected by the LastPass breach rather change their master passwords and enable multi-factor authentication, not tomorrow, not today, immediately. So, Rob, is this change how you think about that breach or about LastPass style services in general? It doesn't change how I think about it because it sucked. It was horrible. LastPass didn't handle it well and they handled it poorly. But here's the thing with this. Folks who are losing crypto on this is not because something new is happening with LastPass. We need to be careful of that. This is because of the breach that has already happened. And it would have been a lot of work, but one of the ways this could have been mitigated is if folks would have gone into their wallets, basically created new ones, moved their stuff over, and then re-encrypt that stuff and get basically new pass raises because you're just never sure. So what's happening now is it looks like, potentially, these hackers are actually cracking these keys, which no one thought was gonna happen. But like I said, this isn't really a new thing.  And I think this kind of points to a trend. We've definitely seen this in the enterprise over the last couple of years, but I think we need to start bringing more of a consumer awareness to this. And I say this knowing that we're just convincing people to really seriously lose password managers and stuff like this certainly doesn't help.  If you ever get past this wall, everything's SOL and you just lose everything. We really have to be thinking about how these kind of systems can fail gracefully. And certainly LastPass did not. I mean, some of the details of this breach, again, these are not new disclosures to this particular thing, but the fact that they weren't kind of re-encrypting their passwords kind of regularly that older accounts had really weak re-encryption on these master passwords so that if they were to leak in this situation, some of those could be very trivially brute force in a lot of instances. So but this idea that we can't just say, okay, I'm gonna have this one place that's gonna store all of these unique passwords, that is still good to do. But if those get out, then all the keys to my kingdom are gone and we're starting to see things like MFA, like pass keys and stuff like that, that tend to allow things to move more gracefully. I do wonder though, if we're going to start seeing, I don't know more of an emphasis on like consumer identity management, not just, hey, there was a weird login, but we're gonna be seeing more, there was some weird behavior, we kind of in your usual stuff here. I know that kind of goes beyond the purview of this, but that's what this whole story got me thinking of. Yeah, I just, when this happened and this is no, I mean no disrespect to anyone who lost any data in this breach, this particular breach, but in some ways I'm grateful that a gnarly one happened. I'm a little extra grateful that I wasn't using LastPass at the time, but what I mean by all this is, this is a good wake up call. I think a lot of people saw this magic bullet of password protection and integrating things like two factor and all these other features into a service like this as our final destination. We've done it everybody. We're all secure now, you use this and you're good. I think this was a good wake up call. I'd rather not happen at all, but since it did, it can serve as a great wake up call to everyone to realize that as important as it is to do all of these steps to protect your data, to protect your passwords and your access. It's also a good time to remember that even the layer just above you, your password manager, whether it be LastPass or OnePassword or whoever you're using, they could fail as Rich said gracefully. And if they do, what are you doing to be prepared for it? I mean, we even know that Krebs himself doesn't even use a password manager. It breaks us down and keeps it secure in some box or something. Yeah, that wasn't a surprising thing. Reading is right above this. But yeah, and also I want to give, I don't want to give credit to LastPass, but if people had followed, most people had followed LastPass's it remediation advice when this came out, change your master passwords, change your passwords on your most sensitive accounts, even if they had cracked your password, the seed phrases on the crypto stuff I don't want to speak to, but for most of your other password you would have been relatively protected from this breach. So, you know, a lot of this is, hey, we just assumed this is secure, I'm not going to touch it, right? Right. So guys, there's some big news out of Europe. The European Commission has officially confirmed that the list of tech companies which are considered gatekeepers and their services which are subject to the Digital Markets Act or DCM, or excuse me, the DMA restrictions. And it looks like the argument we talked about on Tuesday show that Apple and Microsoft did stating that iMessage in being weren't big or powerful enough to make the list work, at least temporarily. Yeah, there are 22 core platform services provided by companies that received gatekeeper status. Now, this includes things like social networks. You may have heard of this one, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn notably, messaging services, WhatsApp and Facebook messengers, operating system, it's the big three, Android, iOS and Windows, as well as web browsers, Chrome and Safari. And even though iMessage in being didn't make the initial cut, the EC says it's opening an investigation to see if these platforms meet the threshold and say an investigation will be completed within five months. So Scott, I want to get your take on this. What do you think about the operating systems that these things live on being under scrutiny but the actual services themselves not being? Well, the scrutiny, first of all, the scrutiny makes sense to me given the history that this part of the world has with regulation. I think this is all kind of part, it would make sense for me if you said Windows and if you said Mac OS and you said Android and you said iOS, these are sensible choices. They are in fact the definition of a gatekeeping company when they own the operating system and you're doing everything else on. However, it makes sense to me also that you wouldn't include iMessage or Bing because neither are dominant in their areas. Bing's making inroads, I suppose, and they have their fans, but Bing is still no Google, none of the alternate search engines are Google. So I don't know that they should be held at those same standards, same thing goes for iMessage, which compared to WhatsApp and a handful of other international apps where people communicate, they're very small on the list. More people are using alternate apps on iOS than are using iMessage for their main messaging app. So I think that's fair that they're doing that. The one thing missing from this, and Rich can probably speak to this better than I can, but the big thing missing from this is cloud, Azure in particular on the Microsoft side, and that's just getting started. Like the business end, obviously 365 other sort of things that feel like gateways or gatekeeping to me are kind of glossed over here a little bit. And this is where not just with Bing, this is a Microsoft knows the old magic. They have been here before, they are the seasoned hand when it comes to antitrust regulation, and they have been ahead of this game from the very start. Not a coincidence that we saw like teams unbuttoned from Microsoft 365. I'm not necessarily in the wake of the DMA specifically, but it certainly is a part of their longstanding habit of keeping ahead of this regulation. They don't wanna get drawn in to all of this stuff. But yeah, Scott to your point, productivity apps where Microsoft and Google workspace are the two giants in that space. Cloud is more corporate, these are more focused on consumer services, but that is, if you look at where Microsoft makes all of its money, right? It's cloud, it's services, it's office, Windows is like fourth place now at this point, probably up there with gaming or something like that with them. So the fact that I think they're more than happy to have Windows on this list because they've already, hey, you can run your Android apps already on here.  We would love to be as multi-platform, hey, this is the new fuzzy Microsoft, give on to Kosacea, a big tug. I mean, when I look at this list, I see of all of the companies that have like earnings potentially disrupted by this, maybe Amazon only because advertising and the actual e-commerce stuff doesn't account for a ton of their profit, it's all AWS. But Microsoft is the least impacted out of all of these. And I think it speaks to their savvy and they've been here before. Even if Microsoft, if the EU comes back and says, nope, Microsoft, we gotta ding you because of being, they're still the least affected because no one's really using being right now. But here's the thing, I can see this happening. I can see them coming back with revisions to these rules and regulations that would put companies like Microsoft cloud, Google cloud, Amazon's cloud, all the companies that are doing big cloud things under the purview of this, because right now, when you look at how they're calculating this, there simply just aren't enough users. And when you think about, let's say the federal government is considered one entity, well, it's not, but let's just say that the federal government is one entity and they buy Office 365. Well, that's just one customer. Even though they have a lot of end users, they're just one customer. With these rules are generally looking at are the consumers on the back end of it? So I think they have to just re-look at how they're actually gonna go after these bigger companies if they determined them to be problematic like they are saying with the Facebooks and the Facebook messengers and the TikToks of the world. Yeah, to me, this is clear that this is aimed at consumer protection. At least that's the idea and the goal. And I think you're 100% right about all of that. Cloud will very quickly become more consumer oriented. And I say quickly, I'd say, let's say the next five years. And I think it's likely that this will be fluid enough that they will start to add aspects of that to that. Well, they'd be broad strokes like, sorry, AWS and Azure, you're on the list or whatever. I don't know, but there's a very good chance that this comes up in this same conversation down the road, probably on this very show somewhere down the road. And it will involve cloud because if anything, this feels a little bit ignorant of cloud, but also I think you've made a really good point. Cloud is a little nebulous in terms of how many people are using it, how many people are even aware they're using it half the time. So yeah, I would keep my eye on that probably. The thing I can't wait for is to see how Clujie Apple finds a way to comply with this law given how they've reacted to right to repair and their ridiculous repair kits that they'll mail to you in these giant Pelican cases and stuff like that. I can't wait to see the Clujie's and the hoops that you'll have to jump through for them to comply with interoperability with the App Store and stuff like that. It's gonna be good, boy. Yeah. All right, well, in this season of Know a Little More, remember, you gotta check it out. Tom breaks down a pivotal moment in tech history, the mother of all demos. How many technologies we use today? We're introduced back in 1968, and he looks at why it took over a decade for them to go mainstream all this season on Know a Little More. And check out the Patreon page at patreon.com slash know a little more. All those stadiums shut down at the beginning of the year, boo. I hated that. Google's gaming ambitions have not. Nine to five Google reported starting Tuesday September 5th as yesterday, YouTube is publicly testing a new feature called Playables starting with a limited number of users. Google describes Playables as gains that can be played both on desktop and mobile devices. All right, so those who are part of this experiment, you know who you probably are at this point, my guess is some influencer types, quote unquote. We'll see a selection called Playables, and this'll be right along the side, your YouTube home feed. So it won't be hard to find nine to five Google ads that Playables as part of YouTube's broader push into expanding its gamer targeted offerings, which already include game live streams and the like. The one part they make very unclear here so far anyway, very limited information is what are these games? Are these compiled games? Are these video games like real video games? And I don't mean that in a pejorative. I mean, just mean is it just HTML5 web code? Is it something else that'll run well on phones? HTML5 would run great on a browser or the YouTube player on mobile. So that's not too crazy of a stretch, but I don't think this is triple A conversions of Fallout 4 and large game release type material. I'm guessing these are gonna be smaller, simpler, maybe puzzle oriented, maybe some sort of Candy Crush kind of business, some sort of stuff like that before it's anything else. At least that's my hot take on it. Well, and they have to be careful because if they start, if it's Candy Crush, right, and the game is microtransactions, that changes the entire game when it comes to going through the app store and stuff like that, right? Like they can get away with this because, well, YouTube's free, so these games are free. So you get into that whole Netflix situation where they can include games with their subscription, but you can't access those, at least on iOS, through the main Netflix app, right? It's through these associated apps that you log in and stuff like that. So there is a whole world there to keep in mind as well. I mean, Scott, to your question, given what YouTube is, I would imagine these would be streaming only because that's just what YouTube is, although I don't think Google necessarily hues to any kind of YouTube ideology, right? I'm sure they will throw as much spaghetti into the wall in this as well. And that is the other side of this coin that's possible.  So it isn't like, you know, it would be crazy to see them do, you know, stream some games, but then I have questions about, are they buying it on the website? Are these part of your YouTube? Maybe your YouTube subscription, YouTube premium, and you have access to a few of these or something. And in that case, if it is streaming games, then you do have a much wider possibility here. You could do all sorts of triple A, middleware and indie games, make exclusive deals, whatever. That's all entirely possible. I think the only mistake I would watch out for if I was Google is don't make this hard for your core gamers to play. In other words, they're used to being able to play a Steam game on Steam. If you gave them, like GeForce now does, gave them an ability to play some of their existing library on the go somewhere, well, then maybe you're on to something and you could be an alternative, maybe even a great alternative. But that's kind of what's, you know, that's kind of what the original thing was supposed to be, Stadia was supposed to be that, that very thing. So I don't know, they confuse me over there. I think this is a low stakes potential learn something experience. They're not gonna spend billions of dollars on this and lose their shirt. They're gonna experiment and then we're gonna see if it works. Well, Rob, you're the aggrieved Stadia member. I'm curious what your thought is outside of the service feeling about that, the tech stacks there, right? Yeah, just talking about this upsets me, but here's what I think is gonna happen. To your point, Scott, all the Stadia stuff is there. They already know how to do it. They were already doing it relatively well and Google is not, you know, they're not in a closet. They see that streaming games is kind of where things are going. So I believe what they're doing with this is that we're gonna give you Stadia without actually giving you a, you know, a controller that you've gotta buy.  You run it on your Chromebook. You run it on your phone, whatever the case is.  But I just think that they're gonna give you Stadia-like technology, but it's just gonna be delivered right to the screen that you already have without having to have a controller from Google. Not just the screen, the app that you already have. Because this is a major shift now. We've seen with Shorts first and now these Playables, we've seen YouTube in the last five years thinking the YouTube brand is enough to get people in. YouTube music, YouTube TV, separate apps, same brand. And now they're seeing, wait a minute, Shorts, we claim we have like a hundred billion views every 50 seconds or something like that. Every earnings report, they say they have these insane viewing numbers because it's in the app where you're spending your time already. And I think that's the key shift that we're seeing with Google, with YouTube is let's add on to the app. You're already in this app to look up how to fix your dishwasher or something like that. Let's give you five minutes to play a casual game or something like that. And then you can watch a couple of Shorts and flick through there. And all that while we'll figure out how to deliver ads and monetize that. I think it's a major shift for YouTube that we'll probably see a little bit more of. Yeah, very curious about it when it lands. So I guess if anyone out there is listening and you guys end up getting access, let Tom and the crew know because I would be very curious what these games look like when they happen. Absolutely. All right, well, remember that song that used AI-generated vocals mimicking Drake in the weekend? That's right, Heart on My Sleeve. It got over 15 million views on TikTok. Well, Ghostwriter, the artist that wrote the lyrics, submitted the track for the Grammy Awards for consideration for best rap song and Song of the Year. They may be saying, okay, they submitted it, but that doesn't mean the Academy has to take it. Well, the Academy seems fine with the song being submitted in the songwriting categories. We have Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. saying, as far as the creative side, it's absolutely eligible because it was written by a human. The last roadblock, though, this is interesting, might be the Grammy's requirements for the song to have, quote, general distribution. And that's because Universal Music Group filed a copyright claim to have the song taken off streaming services. So right now, kind of hard to get and that might disqualify it for the Grammys. We shall see, but, you know, Rob, how we feel and get some AI vocals taken over or being submitted for the Grammy consideration. A lot of people are gonna poo poo this, but it's actually smart by the Grammys to do this. The Grammys is basically saying, we wanna let lawyers and judges figure all this stuff out. We have our rules. If you adhere to our rules, you can submit your stuff. You just have to adhere to our rules. Now, all that other stuff that has to go through court that our hands are free of that. So in a way, this is a smart move by them, by not actually putting their thumb on the scale for anything because they really don't know which way this is gonna go. They also don't have to commit to voting for them. So you adhere to their rules, you get them in, and then all the principal voters never have to put one vote toward AI's on. And you can't, that's just the deal. So I think this is kind of brilliant on their part. I think that they were able to look at this for what it is, say, yeah, we got our rules, come on in, you're all good. And they really are under no obligation to vote for them anyway. So they stay out of this mess. It's actually really smart. And I don't usually say that when I talk about the Grammys. So congrats, Grammys, you're smart again or something. Well, something else that's smart is all the people that email into the show. So Rob, let's check out what's in the mail bag. So yeah, so Brian wanted to chime in on a story from this past Friday regarding our comments on Lenovo's Legion Go, its first Windows-powered gaming handle featuring only 16 gigabytes of RAM. He writes, I'm going to have to disagree about the RAM and the Legion Go. 16 gigabytes is still the sweet spot in terms of price and performance for gaming as it meets or exceeds the recommended requirements for most games. Also in a small form factor device like the Legion Go or even the Stream Deck for that matter, space and heat are considerations and are just as important to component costs. I think Brian is correct. 16 gigabytes is plenty for a device like this. There's a reason that most of the other devices that are competing in this space are right around those specs anyway or even considered kind of high-end for having 16. So this isn't really an issue. It's kind of a non-issue. People shouldn't worry about it. We're not buying a fully loaded 4090-pack PC that you want to throw 32 gig or more at just so you can have the best possible gaming experience. You're doing stuff on the go at about 720p on average, on a screen where that looks great and the word isn't good enough. It's actually good for what it is. This is where it should be. So I'm with Brian. Solidarity, Brian. Team 16 gigabytes. That's right. Take it. The group is called double eight. So just... Gotta get that dual channel. Yeah. So thank you to Brian for sending that email in. And you know who else we have to thank? Scott Johnson. Why don't you tell us what you got going on? Well, let me tell you, Rob in Columbus, a town I absolutely love visiting and I'm still annoyed that I didn't know you then so we couldn't hang out. But we'll make up for that in the future. I'm very busy with a lot of stuff, but one of the things I'm most excited to tell people out is I have a show all about gaming. You hear me talk about it here on the show? A lot of times we have articles about game and tech around gaming. Well, we do that in earnest on a show called Core, which airs every Thursday. You can find it at frogpans.com slash core where me and my co-host break down the latest news reviews and everything else around games. So if you want to hear why I think that my game of the year might be Starfield, would you better tune in? Cause apparently that's a controversial statement to check or to say, so check out wherever you get your podcast that's core or you can find us again at frogpans.com slash core. And you know what else we have to thank? Rich Strofolino. Welcome back and thanks for coming in and hosting when Sarah and Tom are both out. So why don't you tell us what you got going on? Yeah, we are keeping busy over at the CISO series. If you haven't checked it out already, we do a show. It's called Cyber Security Headlines. I know me doing a short podcast about headlines very unusual for me. That's our daily show. We focus on cybersecurity. So it's a little bit of a different focus and something like daily tech headlines. We also do a week in review show. Every single Friday we have on a CISO or a VP in like trust and safety and we go over news and get their perspective on it. I love doing that show. It's about 20 minutes. This week we're going to have Village MD CISO Dan Walsh on and then next week, we're going to have interrupt VP of digital trust and ethics, Davi Atenheim, right? So interrupt is a company of great interest to the DTNS audience. So you might want to check that out. It's 3.30 p.m. Eastern. So check out CISOseries.com slash events and then you can pop right over and watch DTNS. You don't have to choose. All right, and remember patrons, you can also stick around for the extended show Good Day Internet. If you're not going to check out those, you can check out Good Day Internet. We're going to be going to talk about other actors and another strike looming. This time is it coming for the video games. Remember you can catch the show live Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern, 200 UTC and you can find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live. It's a website. We'll be back tomorrow with Justin Robert Young. He will see you then. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Get more at frogpants.com. I'm in club. Hope you have enjoyed this brover.


We're gonna return to Orange, California and just a moment where I'll be finishing that message on the power of the Holy Spirit Now it's time for our moment of truth segment This is where I take your questions and do my best to present a biblical answer to them The question for this episode is from Delano Seldivar from Dearborn, Michigan The question is how can you tell the difference between your own voice or your own thoughts and the Holy Spirit's voice? Well, that's a great question And this is a question that many people are wanting to know the answer to in fact It's probably one of the more asked questions in the Christian world Which is why messages on the voice of God are not in any sort of shortage in any sense But for my key verse, I want to go to John chapter 10 verse 27 where Jesus says something quite interesting John chapter 10 verse 27 says my sheep hear my voice I know them and they follow me or they come to me Now what's interesting there to me is that Jesus says my sheep hear my voice in other words They're not someone who's deaf to the voice of the Holy Spirit So Jesus speaks now to us through the voice of the Holy Spirit using the word of God Using other people using various other circumstances But Jesus will speak to us through the voice of the Holy Spirit and he's speaking to you now The truth is God is talking to you right at this very moment. God is saying something to you There's a word that God has given you there's something that God has breathed into your spirit and The issue is not whether or not I can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit The issue is not whether or not I can hear the voice of God. The question is am I a sheep? Because Jesus said my sheep hear my voice I think of scriptures like first Samuel chapter 3 where the prophet is called out by the Lord and At first the Lord calls them Samuel Samuel and he hears it And he mistakes the voice of God for the voice of his mentor Eli and he goes to his mentor He says master did you call for me and this happens a couple of the times before the prophet finally is told by his mentor Oh, that's the Lord calling you. Why do I bring this up? It's just to illustrate my point that I made first by referencing John chapter 10 verse 27, which is You can hear the voice of God without recognizing it. In fact, I believe you're hearing the voice of God right now So the question though I know Delano you had a specific question I hope it doesn't seem like I'm dodging it the question We should be asking is not how can I hear the voice of God because if you're a believer You already hear the voice of God and this isn't just semantics is a very important though seemingly insignificant shift that we have to make In our thinking it's not that we have to hear God It's that we have to recognize God in other words. We're already picking him up We already know the things he's telling us the issue was just discerning which is him So as I like to say there are three things categorically speaking or three voices categorically speaking that Communicate to you in everyday life whether that's to dreams whether that's to the Bible whether that's through your heart or your spirit Whether that's to other individuals whether that's to circumstances No matter how God communicates to you everything that he communicates falls under the category of spirit and so There's the spirit There's the satanic and there's the secular The satanic is very obvious it will always contradict directly the truth of the word of God The secular is a little more difficult to spot because it is more nuanced It's more subtle it has more to do with things that are not necessarily God But can be distracting in that they're good So the satanic is the things that are bad The secular is the things that may seem good but are distracting and the spirit is what is the pure voice of the Holy Spirit? So like I said those are three categories under which you can place any communication that comes your way So the question is how do you discern between those three because it's not just your own voice You're trying to decipher through it's the voice of the world Which is a secular voice and actually your voice counts as the secular and there's the voice the demonic Then there's the voice of the Holy Spirit, which is the truth So the secular contradicts the nature of God Which is why it's harder to spot because not many people know his nature But the satanic contradicts the word of God the spirit will always align with both the nature and the word of God So how can you tell the difference between I'll give you three practical keys real quickly Number one silence and stillness silence is the putting away of outer distraction Jesus said that when you pray go away quietly privately and when you pray in private your father who sees you in private Will reward you openly so silence is the putting away of outer distraction. It's practical It takes a matter of discipline turn off the TV turn off the phone put away those noises that affect you in the outer man The everyday life, but then stillness is a little deeper stillness is the quieting of the inner man stillness is the quieting of the soul So silence is the putting away of outer distraction stillness is the quieting of the soul and it has to do with Pushing down or clarifying and finding peace with those things that distract you during prayer We're talking about things that make you angry things that make you depressed things that make you fearful things that make you Concerned things that are just distracting simply because they're entertaining that are inward those thoughts that you replay those fillings of condemnation and guilt Those fillings of inadequacy and the inability to approach God all of those things are The inner chaos that I like to call it now You know what inner chaos is and you can identify the things that are a lie simply by this rule of thumb any thing any thought belief or idea that keeps you from approaching God in Confidence is a lie so Number one silence and stillness silence the putting away of outer distraction stillness the quieting of the soul Number two is obedience the scripture says God directs the steps of the godly now other than his directions of the steps for the Ungodly as it pertains to their salvation such as with Saul turning into Paul God Encountering him on the road to Damascus or road to Damascus That's God intervening in the sinner's life and directing them toward salvation toward repentance But other than that God really doesn't direct necessarily the steps of the ungodly He reserves that special favor of direction for those who obey his voice So those who walk in obedience to God are more likely to hear his voice Why because sin causes you to go deaf spiritually and it's not that God stops speaking It's that we have trouble listening So we say God tell me something he tells us and we say I don't really like that And we say keep telling me something but the longer you ignore the voice of the Holy Spirit the harder He becomes to hear so when God tells you to do something do it Otherwise, he's not going to give you step two if you if you you say God I'm listening for step number two. He said but I already told you step one and you did nothing with those instructions So God will speak and he won't speak again in most instances on any given topic Unless you go and first obey what he told you to do initially So number one silence and stillness number two is so important You need obedience and number three finally is the word the scripture says that I have hid thy word in my heart That I might not sin against thee I will hide his words in my heart that I might not sin against God is what the Bible says and This this hiding of God's word in your heart keeps you from disobeying But it also brings clarity to your mind It also brings when you hear the voice of God more often to the scripture It becomes familiar if I asked you to describe the voice of any one of your loved ones You may be able to give some description to it But even your description would fail to describe the full quality of their voice But you know their voice the moment you hear it and it is because of that recognition Is that is in place that you're able to hear it and recognize it at the same time But that recognition only comes from you spending time and hearing them So the word of God is a key to hearing the voice of God So how can you decide or discern between your own voice this are you a secular the satanic or the spirit? It's number one silence and stillness number two obedience and number three Reading the word of God and that is your moment of truth There's this idea that our dreams are more important than God's will center Homosexual sin heterosexual sin why we were all yet sinners Christ died for us


Because of the following CBS News Special Report, the program normally seen at this time will not be presented today. We can't reach those big guns and they just keep dropping in. There's nothing you can do.  You can't be safe. You can be lucky. That's it. You can't be safe. You can be lucky. That's it. You've got land in all over, bouncing off you. And you get just as scared every time. And it gets worse. The closer they get, the more they throw. The more you get scared. When you get up, one of the feelings is to be alive, to be able to walk around after one of those. If I live a hundred years, I'll just never ever be able to tell the story, the way it really happened. These young kids who just run up to them, and when we're all boxed in, they're all around and they're all over our perimeter and we're throwing grenades. And I got pretty close and just run up to one of these kids and say, Marine, we're going to get out of here, aren't we?  Those Marines are talking about a place named Con Tien, an obscure American outpost in Vietnam, as Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal were once obscure. Con Tien is a bitterly exposed target just two miles below the DMZ. American Marines have been under fire there since last May. In just the last four weeks, they have suffered over 70 dead, 1,000 wounded. In the next half hour, we shall examine the ordeal of Con Tien. This is a CBS News special report. The ordeal of Con Tien. This broadcast is brought to you by West... Here is CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace. Con Tien is here, two miles south of the demilitarized zone at the narrow top of South Vietnam, 12 miles inland from the South China Sea. It is a desolate hilltop collection of guns and bunkers looking north across the DMZ into North Vietnam. Its crucial importance lies in the fact that it's on a main infiltration route into the South. The loss of Con Tien could help open the way for the estimated 35,000 communist troops now massed in the DMZ area. Its loss would block the construction of that electronic barrier along the DMZ to seal off South Vietnam from the north. But more than that, its loss would give the North Vietnamese that one big elusive propaganda victory they've been searching for at such a cost in lives. They would prize a victory at Con Tien as a miniature replica of their victory over the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Con Tien is vulnerable. It is the least defensible of any of the American outposts because it's so close to North Vietnamese territory. The enemy artillery, about 100 big guns plus mortars and rockets, can pound Con Tien around the clock with devastating effect. And our ground troops cannot go into North Vietnam to knock out those guns. For the Marines at Con Tien, this is what it's like. Chopper forward. Six eight zero one zero zero. Six eight. Let's get them on there. Over. Okay look, here are the two tanks. Do you see them? Yes sir. Do you see where that smoke is? Yes sir. The smoke landed about 300 meters right where that big tree is out there. 300 to 400 meters. Uh, southeast. What happened to your squad? Oh, they was hit, most of them were hit by a strap mill and it was metapay. Well tell me, you came here at full strength? I had 13 men when I came and it's four days later now and how many are still here? Six. I think we're just occupying ground and losing too many men. I'm losing too many men. If we were to stay here too much longer, we wouldn't have much left of this platoon, let alone the company. I see what about three, four people get it a day. Uh, not real bad, but enough to be medevac. Cut my platoon down. Well, isn't that all part of war, as the general would say? Sure it is, but for seven months up here, one battalion ain't gonna have much left if that's part of war. That'll rotate a little more, I think. Send us back where we can get new men and train them. See, we're getting new men out here. They coming out what you might call green and then they don't know really how to act. The rifles have been jamming, the mud's been slowed everything down, and the artillery comes in everywhere. And it just gets pretty futile and frustrating sometimes. The really depressing part about it is, like, there isn't really much you can do, you know what I mean? The rounds come in, you see your buddies get blown away and wounded and stuff like that. Well, I can't say that I'm scared stiff, but I'm scared.  And you just look to God. It's about the only thing you can do. Will you get any idea from up around Cancun how the war is going? Yes. If we, uh, if we don't get some more people up in this area real quick, if we don't get some more B-52s real fast, then these people are gonna be all the way down to Da Nang before anybody knows it. Does everybody agree with that? 100%. What kind of support are the Marines getting? General Westmoreland says the Americans are responding with the greatest concentration of conventional fire power in history. The U.S. artillery fire is 10 times greater than the enemies. It comes from Dong Ha, Kam Lo, Jo Lin, the other outpost corners of what is called Leatherneck Square, and from these big guns at Camp Carroll. The batteries fire off as many as 10,000 shells daily, lobbing them over the heads of the Manit Contien deep into the demilitarized zone. And then there are the B-52 bombers striking from nearby Thailand. They pound the zone day in, day out with tons of explosives. With this saturation, why haven't the North Vietnamese positions been destroyed? Marine commanders say the enemy guns, most of them highly mobile, roll in and out of deep caves and tunnels. Only a direct hit can silence them. And there has been no silence at Contien. The story of how Contien came to be a miniature chorea began last May. The Marines there were in construction battalions clearing strips to help protect against attacks. The outpost was little more than a few trenches dug in a hilltop, still green and unscorched, manned by 300 South Vietnamese civilian irregulars advised by a handful of American special forces troops. A few bunkers looked more like temporary homes for the men who were there to operate the graders and earth movers. But they were some protection against occasional artillery attacks. Then things got rougher. On the morning of May the 9th, burning tanks and personnel carriers marked a battle that had begun at 2.30 a.m. and lasted until after daybreak. The hilltop was strewn with dead. 200, 200 of them, like this one. North Vietnamese regulars. The enemy had struck with a force of 1,200 men. Captured enemy weapons were gathered from all over the perimeter. The cost of the Americans in that first battle at Contien included 124 wounded. Of these 110 were Marines the rest special forces men. And there were our own dead, 44 Americans altogether, all of the Marines. The first to fall at Contien. For the next few months there was less action than preparation for action. The Marines had come to stay to take control of Contien from the South Vietnamese. The plan now was to establish a post on the hilltop that could be more easily defended. That meant more bunkers and well protected gun emplacements. The expectation then was for another ground assault. Enemy artillery was fairly inactive until July when it got busier. The Americans retaliated with airstrikes. For the rest of July and August the Marines at Contien used their own guns to good effect. The ammunition, an endless supply, came in daily. And it was used up daily. This was the end of a supply lifeline that began in Da Nang and arrived at Contien by way of Dong Ha. Six miles to the south. There were tents nearby to house a compliment that included about 1,000 men. No matter how you look at it those were better days. There was more time for things like the casual cleaning of weapons. But nothing at Contien has been casual since September came. For the first 25 days of this month Contien had to fight back against ground assaults and a sudden calculated escalation of enemy artillery. The most intense artillery barrage of the war. At times the shouts of incoming could be heard above the noise of our own guns. There has been a slight let up in the last few days. But Marines still must patrol the perimeter of Contien and for these men the danger is multiplied by the threat of ambush. The kind of war that's going on around Contien inspired one young Marine to put his feelings into a poem. When youth was a soldier and I fought across the sea we were young and cold hearts, a bloody savagery, born of indignation, children of our time, we were orphans of creation and dying in our prime. What made you write that poem? Well, just the way things are. The commanders in Vietnam, the men who must decide when ordeals must be born, look at the ordeal at Contien from a different vantage point. We talked with General William Westmoreland, Commander of American Ground Forces and Lieutenant General Robert Cushman, who commands the Marines there. There have been some questions from outside and in your own command structure all the way down to some privates I met on Contien about the defense of that outpost and some who perhaps aren't as confident as the general may be. Well, when you sit in a place such as that and a night comes on you really have to rely upon yourself and upon supporting fires and naturally the confidence may not be as great as it is back here where I can see the many forces that can be brought to bear and which those right on the spot may not be aware. I am confident that we can hold this area and we have been doing it furthermore from what reports we've had from prisoners and documents we've been hurting the enemy badly. They have attempted to make it appear that they are winning a military victory. Their target is American public opinion. They had hoped that by inflicting these casualties it being fully understood by them that the casualties inflicted upon their ranks were unknown to us that they would achieve their psychological victory and this is the only way they can conceivably win this war. Contien, then, you're saying is not really a military action but a political or psychological warfare. Precisely. Their objective is political and psychological. It is designed to weaken the will of the American people to make it appear in American and world opinion that they are stronger than they are in fact and to discourage our resolve. We asked two of our CBS News correspondents to begin under fire with the Marines at Contien for an assessment of the situation there. John Lawrence and Robert Chackney. We asked them first what are the Marines saying right now about Contien? Well, Mike, if the Marine happens to be an infantryman he feels that he'd rather be someplace else. I've heard a lot of Marines say that Contien is a very poor place to defend because the Marines can't move out on the ground with infantrymen and with tanks to attack the positions from which the North Vietnamese are firing their artillery. That's on the other side of the border. Now, if the Marines were to pull back 5 or 10 miles and the North Vietnamese were to follow them with their artillery then the Communists would no longer be invulnerable from a Marine counterattack on the ground. The Marine riflemen on Contien, or grunts as they call themselves would rather be anywhere out on an operation marching or back at their ears sleeping, anywhere but Contien. In their simple teenage philosophy they don't understand the significance of holding on to what you've got or as it's said in the Orient, saving face. The Pentagon gives orders to the generals and the generals give order to the colonels and so on and all the orders are obeyed. But the grunts don't seem to understand that they're holding Contien because of a Pentagon decision to win the war with a kind of modern Maginot line that hasn't been built yet. And what lies ahead for Contien in the coming weeks? There's not likely to be much change, Mike, as long as the monsoons last. The heavy range is supposed to start this month and they'll last two or three months and during that period it's unlikely that the Marines can reopen the roads. Marines say that they can resupply themselves for defensive purposes with helicopters but all that's very limited. The Marines won't be able to move out and enforce until the road dries out. Now whether the North Vietnamese are going to use this period to continue to shell the Marines or whether they'll try something more substantial is of course something that nobody on this side can answer. But during the monsoons, Contien is most isolated. Air power is most limited and the Marines will be most vulnerable. The big question really seems to be whether or not the North Vietnamese intend to overrun Contien. The Marines have tripled the number of troops guarding the outpost and they've moved up more battalions to be ready to reinforce. If the North Vietnamese decide to attack Contien they must know it will cost them between 5 and 10,000 casualties. They've only decided to do that once before in 1954 when they felt it would be the final victory and it was. But the United States could survive the loss of Contien, get more troop backs and retake it. So it would not seem to be in the best interest of the North Vietnamese to attack Contien in the near future. They'll probably continue to shell it and the Marines will continue to take it. Two years ago when the first of 500,000 Americans began settling into their enclaves here with the fresh Pentagon promises of a quick victory the generals were promoting the new military strategy of the air mobile offense. Now in the light of Contien the generals are explaining their successes with the words mobile defense. Mobile defense seems to mean putting 3,000 men on the ground and allowing them to sit in the mud and wait for the shell with their name on it. The military can no longer justify this war with a casualty count. It may be that more Marines are dying along the DMZ than enemy. Anyway, no one doubts general G.A.P's strategy of sacrificing 10 of his own for one American and few here believe our own exaggerated guesses at enemy casualties. The Marines have not run any operations into the DMZ since this summer because there are not enough regiments to be sure of victory. They stay fairly close to their bases to within a few hundred yards for most. It begins to sound like a conventional war with a conventional front and in a few years the Marines who have come down off Contien look as proudly as those who came back from the Choson Reservoir. What it all seems to mean is that American Marines have been committed to protect a key outpost along a cleared fortified barrier that was originally conceived in controversy and at present cannot be constructed. What seems to be overlooked is the ability of the North Vietnamese to escalate this war step-by-step with Washington. You begin to suspect that we've reached the limits of our present strategy when the generals are talking openly about an invasion of the North and the men around Contien are talking about the need for tactical nuclear weapons. There seems little doubt that it is the administration's resolve to stay at Contien. The president made that clear last Friday night in his speech to the nation. When he pointed to the Marines up at the DMZ as the real peacekeepers, Lyndon Johnson understands that a defeat or even a withdrawal now at Contien could be for him a political Dien Bien Phu. The president's dilemma is how to persuade the North Vietnamese to quit up there. Up to now, pure firepower hasn't done it and it seems unlikely that he would order American troops into North Vietnam to do the job. Moscow and P. King would be bound to react sharply to such an escalation. Meantime, for the Marines at Contien the months ahead look grimmer than ever. The fall monsoon rains have just begun. They will go on till February, hampering American air power, depriving the men on the ground of at least some of the air support they desperately need. The artillery duel at Contien will go on and on. This battle is different from any other action in the war in that there is no let-up. Day after unchanging day, as long as the North Vietnamese can resupply their troops and guns, as long as they can send down reinforcements, there is little the Marines can do about it.

BookMap's TraderMap Pro add-on is similar to the instrument copy add-on in that it copies the original instrument. However, TraderMap Pro works with only MBO data. This allows you to filter the data so you can create customized and insightful historical heat maps that would otherwise be impossible. Please note, rhythmic data is required and you can only access CME Group Futures instruments. The TraderMap Pro is included in BookMap MBO Bundle on the BookMap marketplace along with the Stops and Icebergs add-ons. However, for a limited time only, it's also available for free with the Global Plus subscription. For more information about the TraderMap Pro, go to the bookmap.com-slash-knowledge-base and in the add-on section in the left margin click on TraderMap Pro. Then scroll down a bit and find the download link. Then open up BookMap and add it via the configure add-ons tool. Then select an instrument that uses MBO data like the S&P E-mini. Then open TraderMap Pro and click on the text and check the box here. Please read the important note at the top which recommends not to use other add-ons because TraderMap Pro contains filtered data. For example, Stops and Icebergs will not correctly work on the TraderMap Pro charts because the MBO data is filtered. Please go to the BookMap knowledge base and download and install both of the latest Stops and Icebergs add-ons for the on-chart and sub-chart indicators or remove them from your chart. Else you will likely receive warnings about the Stops and Icebergs not working correctly within TraderMap Pro charts. Now let's create a new heatmap filter. Give the new copied instrument a name here if you like. I'll name it Test10. Now let's add a filter by clicking on the Add button. At this time there are three filters. There will be more in the future. Let's add the MBO order size filter and let's filter for the incoming orders. I'll keep the order size range from 10 to 100. Therefore only orders of the size 10 to 100 will be displayed. All the rest are filtered out. Let's click Subscribe and take a look at the new chart here as the filter data populates. Note in the current order book that only orders of size 10 to 100 are displayed. This is also reflected in the heatmap and within the spread of the best-bidden offer. I previously opened a chart with this setting collected some more data here. Let's check out that chart. Now we are truly looking at the behavior of larger players and market makers. Look at their behavior as they are willing to take risk and avoid it by narrowing and widening the spread. Also note the areas in the heatmap of higher liquidity. These are larger players. This view filters out the noise of smaller players and gives you insight to where the larger players and market makers are willing to trade and accept risk. This insight wouldn't be possible without TraderMap Pro. Let's try another filter. We first need to go back to the original instrument we want to copy and then open TraderMap Pro. You can see our previous studies here. I'll unsubscribe from the one we just created and add a new one here. And please note you can add up to five different TraderMap chart copies. I'll add the next filter. Number of orders per price level and click subscribe. Let's check out the chart. Now in the current order book or COB column only the number of orders per price level are displayed, not the number of contracts. This is also reflected in the heatmap. Thus allowing you to see where larger players are providing liquidity. This is good, but let's take it a step further. Let's go back to the original instrument and edit the TraderMap. We'll need to unsubscribe first. Next we'll add another filter, the order size filter. This time we'll use the filter of 10 to 100 orders and click subscribe. Let's check out the chart. Now we can see in the COB column the number of orders not contracts that are between 10 and 100. This filters the heatmap even more allowing you to see only significant levels of liquidity from larger players. Note that the size of the spread is large. We can see the last transactions but it's difficult to read the price action. There are a few ways to overcome this. First you could select the display for the last price here. However, if you want to see the current best bid and offer you can add the cross BBO add-on. To do so go to the configure add-ons and select cross BBO for the original instrument here. Now we can see the filter and current best bid and offer on the same filtered chart. There's one more filter to cover. So let's go back to the original instrument and Trader Map Pro and click create. And then we'll add distribution of orders by size. We'll select the split bid and offers here and click subscribe. Let's check out the chart. Please note this chart and display is not your typical heatmap chart. All this chart is displaying is the number of contracts on the price ladder. The COB column displays the number of orders in the current market that have the amount of lots on the price ladder. We can see the vast majority of orders in this market use only one lot. This chart can be helpful for determining the number of orders you may want to filter for in other studies. In conclusion, Bookmap's Trader Map Pro add-on is a unique add-on that allows much deeper insight to the behavior of larger players. Play around with the settings and we think you'll find this out on extremely powerful.


T. F. News update. Good afternoon, folks. Steve Rhodes coming to live from the shores of sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This year, 1 p.m. update and currently have most of the U.S. indices traded to the upside. The one that is not is the Dow. It's off 35 points. The S&P is up 6. NASDAQ 100 up 61. Russell's up 19. Semi is up 10. Trant is up 87. Gold's trading down 23 bucks at 18.42. Silver's off 23 cents. She's trading at 21.82. Light's been crude. Is up a buck. 113.23 is the print there. Natural gas up 32 cents. $9.12 cents in a 30-year treasury. Basically flat. It's down 8 ticks. She's trading out at 141.21. What does all that mean? Well, what it means is this. If we take a look at the ES mini, she is dealing with trend line resistance as well as the center of its daily profile. The center of the profile is where we have both buyers and sellers located. That's at 38.49. And you can see that nice little descending trend. So price can take out that descending trend line. It should be off to the races. To the upside, those races ought to take us up to 41.68. Now, in order for that to come to fruition, you need to see that spot ball of tunics get back to and below its 50-day expense moving average 27.61. So that's the caveat with regard to any kind of a rally inside of the S&P 500. The NQ, right now it's trading below the bottom of its daily profile. I believe the NQ is likely to rally from here, but it needs to prove itself to us. We'll take a look at that during the Trader's Edge show. But price is still trading below the bottom of its daily profile. That is always a potential problem. We'll see if it can close back above 14, I'm sorry, 118.75 by day's end. US dollar index is trying to hold on to support. And that is its weekly profile. That weekly profile level is 102.13. That will make a difference on Friday, not really Wednesday. Gold ran into resistance right into its resistance zone, which was established by its bear structure daily profile. That's between 1861 and 1872. And then you've got a descending trend line as well. The case of silver resistance is the center of its weekly profile. That's at 22.26. If price can clear that, it should make its way to 22.76. Lights recruit just trading sideways for the most part. Yeah, just trading sideways for the most part here. And it's got descending trend line resistance. Natural gas. Nice move today, but today will become bar number nine of a TD nine cop. That says natural gas should form some type of short term top between today and tomorrow. Folks stay tuned for the Trader's Edge show. But if you're off to start your Wednesday, please have a wonderful one. And thanks so much for joining us. Take care.
