How's everybody doing? Welcome back to the interview podcast here with Mr. Reyes. In Brazil, yeah. In my new chair. In your new chair. I had to make sure my chair was way better than Kevin's chair. And it is. I mean, it rocks. I just chose for it not to rock right now, you know, but it has like rocking abilities. Watch out. How low does it go? Can it go down low? Yes. All the way to the floor. So it goes all the way down to the floor. Feet rest. When it comes down to the Aztec culture tattoos, I feel like it's becoming super popular in the industry. And I feel like a lot of people are constantly getting the Aztec statues, Aztec gods, but I feel like we don't put enough effort into learning the history behind it to fully get the whole story. Well, I feel like a lot of, you know, a lot of people just, you know, there's some people that get the tattoos for like the significance of it, you know, and there's some people that get it for the style of it. The aesthetics of how it looks. Yeah. And I feel like there's two different types of people, like, you know, you always get the person like, Oh my God, I love your tattoo. What does that mean? And it's just like, I don't know. It's a leaf. It's a leaf.  And I'm just like, it's for my three sisters.  And it's really cool.  But, you know, there are some people that just don't care, which it either or, I think it's pretty cool. But I know a lot of like these bigger pieces, like the ones that you were talking about, like the Aztecs do have bigger meanings and stories behind it. So I think it's pretty cool for people to learn about the history of it. That kind of like gives you more power towards the piece to connect with it in a different way.   But like as far as the journey and what they actually did in the culture, you know, their input or yeah, like what they did for the whole, what would, I'm so excited. Just wants to talk about it already. But one, one goddess that's becoming very popular in the industry is Can you say it again? Freak. I'm trying to like mock the same way that you're doing your lips. I always forget that word. I don't know if it's the I before. There you go. It's a hard word to say. So if you're thinking about getting a quite liquid done in the future, either as a full back piece, full torso or a simple arm tattoo, this is the episode you should watch because it's going to give you a lot more information. And I feel like I highlighted the most important thing. So it's like the backstory of who she is. Yes. And it gets interesting. It gets juicy. Juicy. It sounds like Rosa Guadalupe because I hope so. If you're going to try and get me entertained with some history, it better be good because I brought myself a sugar cup, a cup of basically sugar. It's coffee, but it's basically sugar and a Cinnabon. So hopefully, hopefully this is interesting. It is. It's juicy. Here we go. So I hope that you guys found this episode super interesting. And if you're going to get this tattoo, please tag me on Instagram. Let me know. And if let me know what you learn about this episode. And if you guys have something to add to the story, drop it on the comments, because there is so much to learn from this culture, the Aztec culture, those mechicas, that there's no way I can say everything in this podcast. There's no way. This is the story of Coal Tlicue. One more time. Coal Tlicue. There you go. I'm already feeling a yawn coming through. Mm-hmm. If you yawn in the intro, I'm calling it a day. Please nostrils, don't give me away. This is all you see. The eyes get bigger, but the mouth is shut. This is what how the statue looks like right now. She's famous for wearing a skirt of snakes. Oh, that's right. Boom. She, there you go.  Oh, yeah. She was fashionable. Is that her boobs? Yes. Those are her boobs. Damn, girl. She was out there. You was thick. Okay, Thickety Snickety. And she served as an agriculture fertility deity. Deity? Deity, I think it is. Deity. And she also predicted the downfall of the Aztec Empire. So she knew. She was like, this is going to go down eventually. Like, we're going to, this, this culture here, this, this. Our families are going to die. And Kuala Likue also wore a necklace of alternating hands and human hearts as a necklace. So you see the hands right there, the heart, the hands.  That's what it represented. And then, and instead of a human head, she had two snakes making up the face. So this is not a whole face. It's actually two snakes facing each other. Oh, I see. Nice. But the cool thing about the statue is that she's own, she only has one tongue. So that two snakes come together as one. So that's why it shows that it's only one tongue instead of two. Oh, you know what's so cool? Like, if you look far away, it looks like one snake. Exactly. Yes. But together it's two snakes making up the one. Uh-huh. Yes. Wow. And it was crazy how they thought about this. Like, I'm going to go, I'm going to put two snakes together and I'm going to make one. Like, insane. Insane, you know. And then, and then her name, if you translate it into Castellano, how do you say that in English? Castellano. It is basically Spanish. It's the Spanish language, Castellano, which means snake, her skirt. Snake, her skirt? Mm-hmm. If you translate it the way the her name is spelled out, that's what it means. It's going to start getting juicier now. I'm waiting. All right, here we go. Coming on, coming in. The snakes on the, on the, the snakes on her head. Okay. They represent the earth. Okay. Then look at her feet. Those are eagle claws. They were, they're supposed to be eagle claws. Okay, I see it. I see it. And they represent the sun. Okay. What does the snake and the eagle remind you of? The snake and the eagle, Mexico? The Mexican flag. Uh-huh. And that is why the Mexican flag represents. It goes all the way back to Cuauhtlique. And this is where I'm going to tell you how she looked like when she was younger. I am waiting. So when she was younger, she was beautiful. She was beautiful. Everybody was in love with her, almost like, like Medusa. So she was beautiful. Everything, like she, she was nice body, everything. And all the gods were impressed with her. Yeah, I bet they were. And they were like, hey, how you doing? And then she met this dude. Yep. Yep. I already knew that it's over at this point. Her beauty is gone. She's tired all the time, stressed out. This is where everything gets interesting. Yes, man ruined everything. So she meets this, the son of one of the gods. Okay. All right. His name is mixed gold. Dang it. You would fall for a guy named mixed gold. Yeah, don't let you say it because I can't say. And he was like, he's the guy. He's the god of the clouds. Dang, heck yeah. I don't even know who he is. And I'd fall in love with him. A name like that. You just know he's just like mixed gold. God of the clouds. Gods of the clouds. Damn. Okay, okay. How could you not fall in love with him? So they get married. No. They end up getting married. Yep. Okay. And they live in the Tautiwacan. Now that's the city of the gods. That's where all the gods live, you know. So it's pretty much close to Mexico. But a little. It's like on the suburbs, the rich area. Exactly, they were the rich people. And this place still exists. Yes, yeah. It's not a, it's the ruins of it though. So it's very, it's well preserved. So people go then you can visit, which we gotta go. Dang, that's so cool. We gotta go. And the city was made a hundred years, or started getting built a hundred years after Christ. So this is the year a hundred. After Christ. After Christ. The tribe was already, the tribe was already there, Los Olmecas. Nine thousand before Christ. Cook this part. And by the year 300 it was fully built. So they were already living there. So as a married couple. Did who ruin her life and give her kids? They had kids. No. They had kids. The first child was a woman, a female. A woman. A girl. It was a girl. She was like what, she was a popped out a woman? First child was a woman. It's like, well there she walked out a woman. What's going on? In some cases, some gods, yes. Ouch. So her name is Coyol Shauki. Coyol Shauki. Yeah, and she was the baddest. Strong. She was like the mother. Buji too. Jewelry everywhere. You know? She, at least she didn't wear jewelry. She wasn't Buji like that. She was just humble about her beauty. You know what I mean? Walking around. I know I'm cute, but you know. But she's strong. But she's strong. But yeah, but Coyol Shauki, she was Buji. You know? And she was so strong that she became the leader. None of the whole tribe of the other siblings. Because she's an older sister. Yeah. Because they have more.  Just remember, okay. For now, I'm glad you're proud of her.  Oh, yeah. Moon, moon giya. Okay. It's her already. And the Buji. Yeah, she was like that. And the strength and the goldness. I mean, need I say more? Say less. Okay. Next. And they had more children after her. How many? Can you take a guess? I feel like, you know, since it's back then, back then they had like six, seven kids. Oh, damn. That's a, that's a, yeah, that's a, all right, guess. How many? 400 kids. What? And they became, they became the stars. Okay. See, now I know this story. You're lying. She was busy. There were 100 kids. And they also had powers. I'm walking out. You better hurry up and change the story. I'm going, I'm going. So she became the leader of all the 400 siblings. Okay. She was strong. And then her siblings were the stars. And they're known as the southern stars of Mexico. So like actual stars? Yeah. Actual stars. They were basically decorating the night time.  Full of what? Gas. Gas? Yeah, because stars are like gas. Oh, so they popped out one real child and the rest were just gas. Yes. They were like, all right, our job here is done. Our mission is completed. Now let's go and retire and go live in Teotihuacan, the god of the cities. Okay. I mean the city of the gods. All right.  They had more kids. No, they did not. Oh, gosh. The husband, he cheated on Coal Tlicue. He cheated on her? Yes. Son of a...  That's right. So she was following him because, you know, what was he doing? I mean, we already made our kids. What's up? Garin, what else can you expect? He gives you 401 children and... Yeah. This goes and cheats on you? Yeah. So she started following him to see what was he doing because they were retired. They're supposed to be chilling, you know. And yeah, she found them doing the nasty. In the act. Yeah. Coal Tlicue is like, what? And... She's like the Shakira in the situation. Who cheats on Shakira? Those are facts. Yes. So Coal Tlicue is Shakira. Damn. So she's looking at them and she got angry. Angry. And because she is super dope and powerful, she killed the husband. Yes. She stabbed them. Just dismember his body. So he died. And she was hurt though. The thing is that she, he cheated on her with not another goddess or none of that. It was an indigenous from the city, from the city of Teotihuacan. So like a, like a citizen... A human being. A human person. Not a supernatural human. Yes. So he died. The girl was never found, she ran. But Coal Tlicue was, you know, devastated, right? So she became a very depressed person, very sad. So she would, she would just get up and clean her temple. She would just clean it and clean it and clean it. Because if you don't clean, they were very clean back then. Extremely clean.  If they were filthy, it was a sin that God wouldn't be happy with you. So she had to broom her temple every day to satisfy herself. Okay. Because she was a goddess.  So she had to clean her temple and to maintain her dignity, you know. And after a while, you know, she started to crave human blood because of how depressed she was. She needed to be stronger. So the only way to, to gain the strength is by getting the sacrifice from the people. Every time you sacrifice someone, you have to offer it too.  Yeah, to keep the peace in the tribe. So technically like the gods at one point lived amongst the people and now they don't. Yes. So they still do the offering for them. Exactly. Yes. At some point, she started, you know, because she was depressed, she was sad. She started turning into a monster. Like her body just started deteriorating because of she was hurt. Yeah. So she started getting super old, fast, you know, and these nasty things. And her children left her, you know, so she was alone. She was just a lonely mother. Damn, 401 kids and all of them left her? But she was sent a beautiful gift. It was a, it was a ball of feathers from a hummingbird. She received it. And it turns out that that let her know that she by some miracle, she got pregnant. Does that sound familiar? She the Virgin Mary? Which her name besides Kwantlikwe, she's also known as Tonatsi. And that name means mi madre, my mother. So she mysteriously by some miracle became pregnant. Once the children found out that she was pregnant, they were, they were mad. Especially Goyolshawki, the oldest one. Yes. The moon. She was pissed, you know. She became a shame of her mother's sexuality. Did she like assume that she was having sexual intercourse with like somebody else? So she was calling her a slut? Yep. Even after her dad already? Yes. Yes.  So Goyolshawki recruited all the 400 kids to have a meeting. They were like, hey, come through. She's pregnant. What are we going to do? Goyolshawki, she said, well, there's only one thing to do. Kill her. Kill their own mother? Yes. And they started planning the day that we're going to do it.  After she spent years of taking care of them. And after that, she heard a voice from inside her womb by Wichiloposhli that said, don't worry, I got you. I'll take care of you. So the day of when they came running to kill her, she goes in heights in her temple in an area where she could have more time to give birth to Wichiloposhli. She gives birth to a full-ass god. He was born as a warrior.   I'm just doing my job as one of your child's children as one of your children.  So that's when she went and hid and Wichiloposhli. Does this little gas bubble have a name? No, not recorded. I'm pretty sure he had. Honestly, wait, wait, wait. It almost rhymed with her name. I just didn't memorize it. It's something like that, but it almost sounds like her name. I'm going to have to look it up. If you can look it up, drop it in the comments. So anyway, she gives birth to Wichiloposhli with a weapon and starts killing everybody. Starts killing everybody in there. And some of them, they said, I'm out.  And she gets to the sister. She's like, what's up? He gets to the sister. Yeah, he gets to the sister. The sister is just like, damn, it was killing everybody. Okay. Strong as hell. And without wasting any time with the weapon, just the capitator. No head up. Nice. The moon. The moon. And he becomes the god of war, the god of the sun. He becomes the sun. And that's a different story of how the moon came back. I don't want to go in too much in it. But have you ever noticed that there's a bunny in it? Like a little shape of a bunny on the moon, right? No. But that's like a little thing. If you zoom in into the moon, you always see like a shape of a bunny on it. What? What? You never seen it? No. What? Okay. Well, anyways, there's a story where it comes in where there's a story where there's a someone that sacrificed their life to become the moon. So the technical moon that's now is not the same moon that died that day? Exactly. It's a different moon. Recruited by all the gods, like Eselkoa, Wichilo, Boschli, all those people. They all announced a new moon? Yes, they did. And after the god of war became the sun, he had to go out there and start doing his own thing. He started his career. He started shining. Yeah, he started shining. He became a celebrity, you know? He became a celebrity because killing the sister and saved Kuala Likue. Kuala Likue once again became lonely. But she was cool with it though because Kuala Likue was, there's a part on the scripts or the, what is it? Yeah, right? The scripts? Yeah. It says Kuala Likue was simply a lonely mother who couldn't wait to see her child again. The only way that she could see Wichilo Boschli again is that by the downfall of the Aztec empire, which she already predicted. So it was just a matter of time before they reunited again. How did she predict that? When did she predict that? There was not a specific story to it on how she predicted it, but she just knew that there was going to be an end to the Aztec empire. Okay. You got intense. Yeah. Well, thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge with me. I yawned only about like four times. Well, if you're thinking about getting Kuala Likue, just know that there's so much really beautiful things that come with the history and the culture, you know, that I feel like when you get this piece done, I feel like you would appreciate it more knowing that so much that this goddess went through to Poor woman proved out 401 children got cheated on.  And then she proved out another son who is a son. And he saved her. When you kill people, what is it when you sacrifice? Because people start sacrificing themselves and sacrificing people and offering their hearts and blood to Kuala Likue. So she's probably starving. Nobody has so sacrificed themselves for her. I guess not. Maybe that's a good thing. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this this episode. It was really different. It was hella different, but yeah. But this is a little taste of Mr. Kevin Reyes and what I go through. If you have any other suggestions on what you guys want to learn about what a tattoo mean or the meaning of any tattoo, drop a comment. Let me know. And yeah, I'll do some research on it. Yeah, let's make it work. Yes, I love it. So with that being said, thank you guys so much for watching. We'll see you guys next week or in two weeks or in three weeks. Peace.

Coming up on DTNS, CES 2022 rolls on with funky laptop form factors, new features to make your Android life easier, and a brewing war among autonomous vehicle platforms is coming. Is Tesla Apple to mobilize Android? This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, January 6th, 2022, in Los Angeles, I'm Tom Merritt. From Austin, Texas, I'm Justin Robert Young. From Studio Colorado, I'm Shannon Morse. I'm Roger Chang, the show's producer. Sarah Lane has the day off. We were just talking about our CES experiences on Good Day Internet. Some truth, some not. Get that extended conversation at Patreon.com slash DTNS. Big thanks to our top patrons who make that possible, including Carmine Bailey, Vince Power, and John and Becky Johnston. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. WeChat Pay will begin supporting China's digital yuan. That's a central bank digital currency, a CBDC. This follows Ali Pay's trialing of digital yuan payments last year. People's Bank of China continues to gradually expand the currency, moving from making the digital yuan app invite only to a full launch in certain regions and cities in China starting this week. The makers of the Brave browser announced it has surpassed 50 million monthly active users in December, doubling growth on the year for the fifth consecutive year. Daily active users average 15.5 million in the month. A VROS is back on the Meta menu. Meta VP Gabriel All said reality labs is still working on a highly specialized OS for our devices and was, quote, growing this team. The information sources said Meta had halted development of such an OS and would continue to use a version of Android. Meta says that it is not halting or scaling back our operations in building a reality operating system. There you go. Politico reported it saw a document detailing French regulator CNIL's plan to fine Google's US and Irish operations 90 million euros and 60 million euros respectively. And Facebook's Irish arm 60 million euros itself for none of them letting French users easily reject cookie tracking technology. CNIL has since confirmed the plans to fine Google and Facebook also face a daily penalty of 100,000 euros if the CNIL organization isn't satisfied with changes made within three months of the decision. This applies to Google.fr and YouTube.fr websites as well as Facebook's French platform. Intel has made its new 12th Gen desktop CPU official, the Core i9-12900KS, which is available of boosting the 5.5 gigahertz on a single core out of the box. It's a stage demo at CES until showed off the new CPU power in Hitman 3 with a processor running at a sustained 5.2 gig across all of its performance cores. But no info on what the power draw or cooling solution was in order to get to those benchmarks. Intel EVP Gregory Bryant says the CPU would be shipping to OEM customers soon. All right, so we're not going to be able to buy one unless we buy a thing that has it in it. But we can get a bunch of new software features out of Android. Tell us about them, Shannon. Yes, we can. So Google announced several new software features at CES. One of the features getting the most attention is fast switching of Bluetooth headsets on Android Chromebook, Android TV, and Windows PCs. Google did not announce yet which headphones will support it. I'm hoping all of the things will. Google will also add full support to Android for head tracking for spatial audio. Again, no word on which services and which headphones will take advantage of it. Those features are both part of FastPair, which makes it easier to connect Bluetooth devices on Android. Most FastPair features are on the way as well, including FastPair coming to Google TV and Chromebooks as well as Windows PC from Acer and HP. In fact, as part of a push branded as Better Together, Google is working with Intel, Acer, and HP to use FastPair to also add Android nearby share, file sharing, and text message syncing to Windows machines, at least Windows machines from Acer and HP. Anyway, we'll see if any more join the crowd. Google also plans to mirror any messaging app from Android on a Chromebook without having to install the app. So think of apps like Signal or WhatsApp, for instance. I currently have Signal installed on my Windows 10 PC, for example. And there's a feature coming called Camera Roll on Phone Hub that will make it easier to move photos from your phone to your Chromebook. So cool. You will also be able to add to pair an Android phone. Excuse me. You will also be able to pair an Android phone to a new Chromebook to transfer over settings and account info if you want. And at some point in the coming months, you will also get the ability to unlock an Android phone and a Chromebook with a Wear OS 3 smartwatch. Now, FastPair will also incorporate the Matter standard to make it easier to set up smart home devices as well. Then we have Chromecast. Chromecast is coming to some Bose speakers and some soundbars. And we also got some news out of the cars. So BMW will be the first car maker to support unlocking and starting a car with a Samsung or Pixel phone. And later this year, Android phones with ultra-wideband will be able to unlock a car door without having to be pulled out of a purse or a pocket. Ah, a lot of good features there. And yes, Apple fans, maybe this time you had some of these before Android did. But good features nonetheless, right, Shannon? I mean, you're an Android user, right? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I'm very excited about the fact that I can use a lot of these new features with my Chromebook. Currently, I have a lot of issues with syncing with my Chromebook from my Android phone, no matter which Android manufacturer I'm currently using. And I'm really looking forward to that. It's going to be so cool. I often think of stuff like this, the Mad Men meme of Don Draper in the elevator where when Android and Apple is yelling, you have the Android guy saying, you know, I think you're horrible. And Don Draper says, I don't think about you at all. I don't think that there is a ton of Apple people saying, ha ha, gotcha! Now you'll really, you look, Apple did these features first, whereas that is a thing that I hear a lot from Android folks. That being said, fast pair is great. I will say with spatial audio, I think that that is a tech that I don't know is fully there, especially with podcasts. It tends to make the podcast experience a little weird when it's not trying to balance out kind of stereo audio. If it's a very simple sort of audio setup, it is a bit odd. That being said, better to have it than not. Congratulations, Android folks. Now I do want to mention some manufacturers of Android products already have their own version of fast pairing. For example, with Samsung, you can quickly switch between your different phones. If you have multiple phones with some Samsung Buds, but being able to use this cross-platform is going to be real cool. Yeah. I know that the Apple versions of this for me are spotty in how they work. The pairing across devices sometimes gets it wrong. It's like, no, I really want to connect to your laptop. And I'm like, yeah, but I really don't want you to connect to my laptop right now. So I'm curious if they'll have the same kind of issues here. Tech-syncing, man. Like I'm very much looking forward to being able to have that. On Windows. And I think the message thing, I know you can do signal on Windows, but it is kind of nice to be able to be like, you know what? I just set it up on my phone and that's it. It'll just mirror over there and I'll have to set it up separately, which is kind of nice. Tesla often takes heat for its self-driving modes. Autopilot, full self-driving. Some of the reactions are level-headed concern about balancing driver responsibility with convenience and safety. Some of the reactions are more tied into personal feelings, positive or negative, about Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk. The Wall Street Journal points out that the Musk factor might be about to become less prominent, as more automakers than Tesla are going to be launching similar systems in the next few years. Can't blame Elon for someone abusing GM's self-driving system, because he didn't have anything to do with that one. So where do we stand? Well, level-four automation, that's where the car drives itself in most, but not all situations, but already being tested in RoboTaxi fleets right now. You probably hear a lot about fleets. Fleets are leading the way because they can be geographically restricted and the high cost of sensors is not as big of a roadblock when you're buying a whole fleet as it is on an individual level. When you're like adding $10,000 to the sticker price, may make me not want to buy the car. But multiple car makers are talking about selling autonomous cars to consumers at CES. Mercedes-Benz and Honda already let drivers disengage at highway speeds in Germany and Japan, respectively. And technically, that qualifies as level-three automation, meaning the human driver has to be available, but isn't in control 100% of the time. We mentioned yesterday that GM CEO Mary Barra has promised a self-driving car for the general consumer by the middle of the decade. And even if you don't believe her, GM's hands-free ultra-cruise tech, which is fairly equivalent to Tesla's full self-driving, is launching in 2023. So that's just a couple of years down the road. Intel's Mobileye and China's Geely are planning to launch an EV under the Zeker brand in 2024. And they think that one will qualify for level-four autonomy. And Mobileye is in a lot of cars. It will likely be the first non-Tesla car that consumers will get a high level of autonomy from. Mobileye has been estimated at having between 60% and 70% market share in driver assistance computer vision. The exceptions to Mobileye and Tesla's dominance here would be GM, which is partnering with Qualcomm and Mercedes, which is working with Nvidia. But the main battle in autonomous consumer cars is shaping up to be Tesla versus Mobileye. And one of the battle lines is that Tesla increasingly is relying on just cameras. They got rid of LiDAR. Elon makes a big deal about how dummy thinks LiDAR is. And they're eliminating LiDAR as well, whereas Mobileye is still using all three, cameras, LiDAR, and LiDAR. And, of course, it seems like a two-year analogy at the top of the show that Tesla is building technology that you buy with their specific products, not unlike Apple, whereas Mobileye is something that would be able to be deployed upon any other car that might want to include LiDAR radar in these cameras. Yeah, Tesla has the whole stack, right? Like Apple does. But also, it has to do everything itself, whereas Mobileye can get a whole lot more data because they're partnered with more automakers. I feel like a lot of the bringing autonomous cars straight to consumers, as opposed to just seeing these in fleets, like I've done a partnership with Waymo and they have fleets of these things. But just like you said, they're geographically restricted so they can't go places. With autonomous cars for consumers, a lot of this, I feel like it's going to come down to educating the consumer, having them really have a grasp of how autonomous cars work and understanding that you literally can't fall asleep behind the steering wheel because just in case something happens, you should still be there even with level four. And we're still seeing some of those misunderstandings or misconceptions of how level four works. And I just want to see more consumers understand it because it's really, really cool and it's very forward-thinking, but there's still a lot of misunderstandings. Not to make this a larger conversation simply about self-driving itself, but Snubbs, I think that you could probably just say that about cars, right? People just need to understand that cars are very dangerous. This is just another way that cars can be very dangerous. In fact, to your point, Shannon, I almost feel like level two plus, which is kind of what Tesla's full self-driving is, and level three are more dangerous than level four. Because with level four, it's like, as long as the weather's fine or you're not in some weird terrain, the car will handle itself fine most of the time, right? And that's better. That's a better safety net than level three or level two where it's like, well, you really should be paying attention. I mean, we can kind of drive ourselves, but we're going to lull you into a false sense of security. And it's harder for us as humans to make ourselves pay attention to stuff, right? Very much. We need to train ourselves. Yeah, yeah. Well, as China cracked down on Bitcoin mining last year, the practice of Bitcoin mining moved out of China. One of the biggest places it went to was the United States, but the second biggest was Kazakhstan. In fact, the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance ranks Kazakhstan second in the world in Bitcoin mining right behind the U.S. with an estimated 18% of the global hash rate. That's a way of measuring activity on Bitcoin as of August. Starting this weekend, citizens of Kazakhstan began protesting spurred by rising energy prices. Tuesday evening, Netflix detected internet service disruption across Kazakhstan. You might be like, well, yep, you got protests in an authoritarian country. It's not unusual for them to turn off the internet. In fact, by Wednesday, the company described it as a nation-scale internet blackout. There was not zero, but almost no internet traffic happening within Kazakhstan. And without the internet, those Bitcoin miners cannot add new blocks to the Bitcoin blockchain or contribute the proof of work that allows them to compete to complete and mint new coins. I mean, they could do it, but they wouldn't have the internet to get the credit for it. So Reuters notes that data from miningpoolbtc.com indicated a 14% drop in the hash rate between Tuesday and Thursday on Bitcoin. It's pretty close to the 18% that Kazakhstan contributes.  This should have the effect of making it easier for the rest of the miners to mint coins in competition, although it does not seem to have much effect on the price. Other factors like rising interest rates, for example, are bigger when it comes to price, but it was interesting to see a country have an effect that wasn't just like, oh, it's an inconvenience for the people in the country, or us getting information out of that country. It affected something else, in this case, the actual creation of coins. And by the way, if you have not followed what is happening in Kazakhstan, which, you know, based on popular culture here in America, you might only know from Borad, it is a fascinating country, a breakaway Soviet Republic that has very much modernized over the past decade, but this modern, or this current situation that they're in right now is crazy. A uprising from the people, the president has resigned. He is now looking to regain power there as all former breakaway Soviet Republics that has a complicated relationship with Russia one way or another. But there's a lot going on there, and it's interesting to see that it was so much a part of the Bitcoin community, because again, it is a very, very, very western-looking technology forward nation that is currently undergoing a lot of strife. Home of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. That's where all the Russian space launches happen. Going back into the Soviet days, when it was part of the Soviet Union, they put their launchpad in Kazakhstan. So yeah, don't sleep on Kazakhstan. It's a very forward-looking, very modernized nation. Hence all the Bitcoin miners going there, which is why this is so disruptive, because it's not like, oh, this is a failed state. You wouldn't have Bitcoin miners going there if that was the case. Hey, folks, if you're feeling social, get in touch with the DTNS audience on the socials at Daily Tech News Show, Daily Tech News SH on Twitter, and DTNSPIX on Instagram. There are always a lot of laptops at CES, and this year, many announcements center around the fact that they have the 12th Gen Intel chip in them and some other specs. Good stuff, but that's something you can find out on your own when they actually hit the market and you understand the details. There are some new form factors, though, that can turn a laptop user's head. And Shannon has tracked down a few of the more compelling ones for us. What you got for us, Shannon? Okay, the first one is from Dell. So Dell introduced this one called the XPS 13 Plus, which you're either going to love this thing or you're going to hate it. I promise you. So the keyboard runs from edge to edge with larger keys. No surprise there. That's not scary. They have less room in between them, which you may like or dislike. The weird thing is they nixed the physical trackpad and they went with an all glass palm rest with this hidden haptic touchpad that runs from alt key to alt key. So you're going to have to kind of train yourself on this as well. You have to guess where the trackpad is. You can't see it. Yeah, you can't see it. So you're going to have to kind of guess and figure it out and train yourself along the way of using this laptop. Very spiritual. Sure, Justin. You are yourself to find this trackpad. It's the tech spirit guide. They also added a capacitive function row key at the top, which includes no haptic feedback. So you're going to kind of have to guess and hopefully you hit the button. It's not a touch bar. Everybody's comparing it to the Mac touch bar. It's just flat LED characters. It's not like a screen like it was with the Apple touch bar. And they do light up. They do have backlighting. So at least you have that. There is also no headphone jack on this one, which is unfortunate. That's the unforgivable sin that they punished for, I'm sure. But it's, it's a fairly priced laptop. This one is 1199. It's supposed to release in spring of 2022. I think it's really interesting. It is very nice looking and Dell is one of those companies that pays attention to consumer feedback. For example, their older XPS line had the, I believe my old co-host Patrick Norton called it the nose cam or the nostril cam. They used to have a webcam underneath the display, but now it's at the top of the display like a normal laptop would be. So they do listen to consumer feedback.  Or the headphone jack. Don't get me started. Lenovo also has the Thinkbook Plus, which I know y'all discussed with Scott Johnson, but I wanted to shine light on another use case that kind of calls back to what he mentioned. This one is for video editing though, not art. So well, I guess video editing is kind of art as well. So this one can function as a secondary display in my case for assets or a media library that you could drag and drop onto your video timeline on the main ultra wide display.  And I absolutely love that. It'll make it a lot easier to find media assets as you're editing a video.  This is the one with the little screen to the right of the trackpad, right? We're to the right of the keyboard. I go back and forth to whether I think that's idiotic because I'm like, well, I could just get an accessory and plug it in. But then I'm like, but it is nice to not have to plug it in. But now it's taking up space on my keyboard. I haven't decided. I haven't decided where I come down. It's a laptop, but I would prefer to not have to carry around a dongle white monitor. Nobody loves a dongle life if they can avoid it. Lenovo also introduced their Thinkbook 13 X Gen 2. This one can be charged wirelessly via their previous product, which is called the Thinkbook wireless multi device charging mat, which basically charges the laptop up to 65 Watts. And it also charges a phone or any other accessories right next to it at the same time. The Thinkbook. This one is 1099 and it comes out in April of 2022. No, this got me not $10.99. Okay. Oh, I wish it was 1099. That would be nice hoping or my tax form. I think this is cool and very interesting because it makes me think, are we going to start seeing more laptops that can charge quickly wirelessly with devices such as this wireless charging pad? Since this is the second generation of this Thinkbook, that makes me wonder if we would start seeing more laptops like this in the near future. So I'm very intrigued and I kind of hope it happens. This really strikes me as the first step in what would eventually become a standard, but it's not there yet. Right. Wireless charging. Yes. Fast wireless charging. Let's wait and see. It took a long time for Android to get around to fast wireless charging. So I can imagine it'll do the same thing with laptops as well. The last one I wanted to mention is from Alienware. So they introduced the X14. This is their smallest gaming laptop yet, at least since like Windows 8 days. So it's been a long time. It includes a 12 gen Intel i7 processor, just like all the other laptops this year, and RTX 3060 graphics. So it's not top of the line, but that's going to get you quite far when it comes to video gaming on a laptop. Also includes G-Sync, up to a two terabyte NVMe for storage. And it also includes 32 gigs of non-upgradable RAM. So when you're checking out, if you wanted to purchase one of these, you would definitely want to choose the RAM that you want to stick with forever. Or at least until this laptop dies. This one is going to be about $1,800 starting this winter. So we don't have an exact release date yet. Before you max out your RAM. Correct. Yeah. Starting at that price. Top it off. Treat yourself. But I have to say though, that's a powerful looking laptop in a very, very thin form factor. Very thin. That does not look like a gaming laptop. I think I have the M15 back here. It's very thin as well, but it is larger. So there are certain backpacks that it won't fit in, but the 14 inch would, because it is about an inch smaller. So I'm very interested in this one. I would love to review it. Hopefully that happens this year, because it does look powerful. Even with the 3060 graphics, as opposed to like a 3070 or a TI version. This is still a very powerful machine. I think it could edit videos quite well. All right.  Oh, Tom, I've been waiting for you to ask me that. Drone company ever drone reported that in December, a 71 year old Swedish man had a heart attack while shoveling snow. Who would have thought? Dr. Mustafa Ali was driving to work and noticed the man collapsed in his driveway. So he stopped to help. As Dr. Ali described it to ever drone, quote, I started doing CPR while asking another bystander to call 112. That's the Swedish emergency number. And just minutes later, I see something flying above my head. It's a drone with a defibrillator. The defibrillator got there in three minutes and the man has now made a full recovery. Ever drone developed the emergency medical aerial device service along with the center for resuscitation science in Keralinka Institutet SOS alarm and region Vastra Gotalan. Yeah. So this is like an official government project that was put together to be able to say, when you call 911 in certain cases if it's needed, we'll have a drone deliver you an AED, a defibrillator. And it worked. I mean, we don't know. Maybe the guy would have lived anyway if he would have waited for the ambulance to get there. They say you need to get there in about 10 minutes after a heart attack in order to save somebody's life and that defibrillator got there in three minutes. And now granted, he was also lucky and have a Dr. Ali happen to be passing by. But he could have been a non-doctor who knew CPR or the defibrillator getting there could have meant that anybody else could have grabbed it, followed the instructions and maybe saved his life. So a few things combined here that make it a particularly favorable solution. But the fact is this is increasing the speed at which emergency medical attention can be given in situations where minutes count. Yeah, as quick as our streets and everything seemed to be more and more congested, this is such a great idea. I do have a question, though, for y'all. Can this deliver anything other than defibrillators or is it just those products? Well, theoretically, the drone could deliver a burrito, too. But I don't think that's good for the guy when he's had just had a heart attack, Shannon. I'm not sure. I'm talking about like an EpiPan or something. Oh, other medical devices. Yeah, I didn't get the sense from reading EverDrone's site that this particular system was set up to deliver other things. But it could be, right? You're absolutely right. It could be adapted. Yeah, it definitely could. It becomes a logistical problem on the organizational end of how to make sure the right thing gets in the drone and it goes to the right place and you determine that. So keeping it to just AEDs and heart attacks, I guess, makes it simple. But yeah, I mean, now that they've got the system running, they could start to get a little more complex. I'd be interested to see that. I would be very much interested, especially in areas of our country that have vast rural expanses to figure out, you know, how much faster and as the crow flies a deployment of something like this. And I will leave it to all the doctors and med tech educated folks here in the audience to know exactly how effective a defibrillator at the exact right time be. But if it is as much of a kind of interventionally a life saver as it could be, then that's something that I would not be shocked from a political perspective to possibly see in state budgets or at least city budgets that have it. Yeah, yeah. A county budget level thing or parish level thing. Yeah, I would say it's probably something that you would either be looking in the very dense cities or the very rural areas. Yeah. Or in a suburb with a lot of open streets, maybe it's less of a effective use case. But in those two edge cases, I think that that kind of stuff is very important. Yeah. Well, folks, if you are somebody who's like, man, hearing about Sweden, I know it was a heart attack, but it just makes me want to travel to Sweden. But I can't because COVID or whatever. Well, Chris Christensen is here to share an idea on how to make use of the time you have before you get to that point when you can finally travel again. This is Chris Christensen from Amateur Traveler with another tech in Travel Minute. The idea I have today comes from a listener of the Amateur Traveler podcast from Mario, who suggested though you might not be ready to do traveling right now, you can certainly get ready for traveling. One way to do it is to learn a language. There's a number of different ways to do that. There's obviously a number of apps out there. But you can also get an online language tutor and he recommends italki, italki.com where they have 1,224 French tutors alone, not to mention other languages. And he's taken more than 400 hours of Italian and his kids have worked on their weekly Spanish lessons with tutors. So italki.com and this is Chris Christensen from Amateur Traveler. Ah, fantastic. Good idea. Get ready to speak the language and you can finally get to Sweden. And it's italki. Hi, clever. I get it. Italki. Very, very interesting. Hey, folks. We have lawnmakes in our Twitch chat saying it could be a medical burrito. Do you agree? Let us know. Feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com. Thanks to our brand new bosses.

Definitely check it out. It was a really fun video to make. Very cool. YouTube.com slash Shannon Morz. Justin, Robert Young, what do you got going on? You know, me and Tom Merritt were having a conversation the other day about why there is a visceral hatred from some elements of the internet toward NFTs. Whatever you might think of the technology, the culture war is real. And so I made a whole episode about it that is coming out tomorrow on politics, politics, politics, culture war on the blockchain. What is at the root OS of this divide? What I believe it is might shock you. Tom's on it. So you're going to like it. I wasn't sure. I agreed with Justin, but he started to bring me around. You're going to have to listen to find out how he did that. We are live Monday through Friday, 4 30 p.m. Eastern 21 30 UTC.

This is Kimberly at Mountain View Dodge<PHONE_NUMBER>. Today we're going to take a look at this beautiful 2017 Dodge Caravan SXT Plus. It comes standard with a 3.6 liter 10 star VVT V6 engine, quad halogen headlamps and 17 inch steel wheels.


Okay, so when it comes to really assessing anything From a Jewish perspective any topic that we want to understand according to Judaism We need to first identify What the issues and the concerns are? Any particular topic will have a number of potential issues and concerns and then we have to be able to analyze each of these Potential concerns to evaluate the general issue So when it comes to looking at the general topic of recreational drug use There are a number of potential concerns that arise and I'd like to basically share those with you tonight First of all, I guess one of the simplest things to take care of get it out of the way is that the Talmud mentions a number of times The concept of Dina de Malchousa Dina, which means the law of the land is the law so if we're living in a city or in a municipality a state a country where a drug like marijuana is Against the law it would be a problem according to Judaism as well Now one of the more serious concerns when it comes to consuming anything According to Judaism are potential health concerns This becomes an overarching Template that really applies to anything that we consume anything that we do right from bungee jumping to Jumping out of a plane We have to ask the question from a Jewish point of view How does it affect our health? The Torah says in the book of Dvaram chapter 4 verse 15 that we have to be extremely careful about our souls Now in context that chapter is dealing with our spiritual health But our sages took that to mean as well our physical health We have to be extremely careful about maintaining our spirit our physical health anything that would endanger or Cause any harm to ourselves and our health is a serious problem according to the Torah We cannot damage ourself or cause cause any harm to ourself in any way whatsoever The Torah takes this so seriously that the Talmud teaches in tractate coolant and a Hamura Sakhantam adi Isura, which means that we have to be more careful About whether something is potentially dangerous than even whether it's kosher or not kosher So for example when you're going to the supermarket to buy food and You check to see if the ingredients are kosher But a Talmud is saying you have to be even more careful to make sure that none of the ingredients is potentially harmful So if you're concerned about the Koshu us whether it's ritually kosher Talmud is saying even stricter We have to be when it comes to whether the the thing we're going to consume is potentially harmful to us And so with that template in mind we have to ask the question Are there any potential health risks? Either physical or psychological when it comes to recreational drugs That becomes an extremely serious concern And if there are any risks or potential risks not just actual risks Even if it's potentially harmful the Torah would not condone its use The Torah also teaches us in the book of Vayikra Leviticus chapter 1914 Lefne iver lotitan michel before the blind do not place a stumbling block now to me what this would Teach us in terms of how it's related to the topic at hand is There may be things about the use of recreational drugs that are not necessarily health risk or health problems But there can be secondary issues that come as a result of recreational drugs for example Becoming dependent or addicted to a substance even if it's not unhealthy to us physically Or psychologically just being dependent and addicted to something has its own Series of concerns our own its own series of problems another problem another issue is That some seemingly innocuous substances can become gateway Drugs leading to more dangerous ones. So even if we were to identify a Recreational drug that seems to be fairly harmless Again, I'm not resolving the issue here. I'm raising the issue. Is it possible that it could lead to? Indulging in other drugs that can be more dangerous and Then a third issue which is not totally remote is that if we become dependent and addicted to certain substances Could that lead to potential? criminal activity in order to support or maintain our habit So those are all potential fallouts From engaging in recreational drug use. I would say they would fall into the category of before the blind Don't put a stumbling block That was Moshe Feinstein who was the greatest Halachic authority greatest authority on Jewish law at the end the second half of the 20th century He wrote a famous response a famous argument really Listing about a half a dozen problems with the use of recreational drugs and He says that one of the problems is that the craving and dependence That can be brought on by drug use is similar He says to what the Bible describes in the Bensouro Moro the rebellious son in Deuteronomy chapter 21 verse 18 Who develops a continuous desire for gluttonous eating? I'm not sure that rev Moshe was referring to the munchies that are brought on when you overindulge in pot but certainly he compares the person who is Becomes essentially addicted to their drug of choice and it's similar to the rebellious son in the Bible who just has this continuous desire to stuff themselves with food and Rev Moshe says that at least food is a legitimate and important need of the body Where as consuming drugs you cannot make that excuse cannot give that as a parallel Another issue is that our sages in number number of places in our literature have condemned drunkenness in general For example the Talmud teaches in breath house 31b that if the person is drunk they're not allowed to pray They're not allowed to pray and the truth is that we know that when people get high or drunk They lose their inhibitions and they lower their guard against all kinds of other immoral behaviors So just the state of drunkenness or being high is not necessarily an optimal state to be living a spiritual life One of the teachings of the kutsker rabbi that I love to quote the kutsker would always say that I don't avoid sin So much because it's wrong He said I avoid it because there isn't time Meaning that we have a limited amount of time in life And the truth is that people who get high for them that often becomes an activity I remember hearing once a woman from Israel was explaining to her friends in Israel What is it like living in the United States? So she said to her friends in Israel, you know what the United States is like and everyone was listening and she said shopping shopping shopping shopping Shopping shopping. I mean in other countries you go shopping when you need stuff You have to buy some food you need clothing But here in North America shopping becomes an activity We go to the mall as teenagers we hang out at the mall That's a use of our time that the kutsker would say could be put to use better doing other things Growing spiritually learning improving ourselves working on a character traits And so for people who get involved with using drugs It's usually an activity and it's an activity. It's done regularly and that can be seen certainly as a waste of time another problem which often happens with younger people is that drugs basically kills off motivation and drive in life It's very easy to just live a life of being chilled and Being high and when a person is high all the time They essentially lose their drive and motivation to accomplish things in life And what turns out is that they often find themselves years later having looking back on their lives And having wasted many many precious years of their lives that could have been put to use much more productively Now remosha feinstein mentions and this is really a peripheral issue that if we're talking about drug use by a younger person It's still living in home with their parents and their parents are bothered by the use of drugs That runs into the problem of kibbut of the M is supposed to respect and honor their mother and father So doing something which really annoys and bothers their parents would put them in violation of this biblical commandment Remosha feinstein also felt that using drugs Conviolate the biblical commandment of kadochim to you that you shall be holy, which is a fan in Leviticus chapter 19 verse 2 Nachmanity's rights in understanding this commandment that was supposed to strive in our life for Spiritual wholeness even when it's beyond the letter of the law So nachmanity says that the Bible has laws of keeping kosher If you want to eat food you have to eat kosher food, but the Bible doesn't overtly explicitly teach anything about Overindulging in kosher food becoming a glutton And so the run by nachmanity says that if you live a life where you're seeking and Indulging in excess pleasures. That's a violation of this commandment of being holy person who lives a life Seeking to get high is often self-focused and self-absorbed and It takes their focus away from really being concerned about other people in many cases and of spending time helping other people We live in a world today where even here in Toronto where life is good There are so many people that need our help and if we get very very busy making ourselves feel good in self-medicating And getting high it takes away from our time and focus and energy in helping others One last concern I will share is that judy in this judy has been very focused on living productive lives and All of us would like to live lives of having inner peace Feeling good about ourselves and even reaching states of ecstasy But it seems to me that according to the Torah To reach those states of inner peace and happiness and joy artificially By using chemicals taking that shortcut is Really a form of escapism from what should be a life of engaging our Challenges in life. We were put in this world in order to face our challenges to grow from them and so to escape those problems and to seek inner peace by Having a chemically induced rather than by growing through our own efforts would seem to be Escaping what should be our real challenges in life now if I could play Tevia from Fiddler on the roof for a moment He would say but on the other hand What if we're living in a place where? Let's say marijuana is legalized, which is probably going to be the case here in Toronto very soon That would obviate the problem of violating local law And what if our use of something like marijuana was not regularly it wasn't a habit It wasn't a crutch, but it was used on special occasions special social occasions Jews are supposed to get high on porum and traditionally we did that through alcohol But what about using a legal substance if it's legal like marijuana at? Occasions like that occasionally Would it be considered then in our society today? Jews for example might share a lachayim on Shabbos So would it be okay to use something like marijuana in situations like that? I'll leave that as an open question, and I think there's a lot of room to explore
