Because we wouldn't be out here, folks, if we didn't have all you guys, gals, tigers and tigers as clients. And the market teaches you every single day, man. Now, Tom O'Brien. Welcome, folks. This is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We're here five days a week. We go seven hours a day. We go 24 hours a day on the internet at tfnn.com.

Immunity to poison in the middle of hell is the gift of the second agreement. My good eyes, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industries down 108. That's like up 115. S&P's up 12 and a half. Gold contract down $4.50 straight into 2038 an ounce. We have silver down 24 cents, $25.65 an ounce, light sweet crew, off $1.17, $72.55 a barrel, notes and balls. Attending a note, up 21 ticks, trading $1.15, 26. The third year up a full point at $1.30, 19, and $king dollar. King dollar down 134 ticks, trading 101, 471. The euros at 109, the yen is at 134. The British pound is at 126 to one U.S. dollar. Offer numbers<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call, folks. One note's going on in your world. In the world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. What do we have? Well, if we look at the spy first, what you're gonna see, you get a sideways move, you know? Bottom line, you have some volume here though. I mean, we did 63 million chairs. That's a consolidation at its highs, okay? So it's like, okay, you're still gonna go for this high up here? Yeah, I suspect it can. The last high that we had established out here, what has happened is this, we've had two lower highs thus far. So we'll see whether we can make it up to that 417 or at 412, 290 right now. The cues are a different story. The cues, bottom line, look like they wanna go higher. You get volume coming in them. It's been an up and down market all day, no doubt. You had the price spread in them, but you're pushing highs and you're pushing it with volume. So that's telling me the cues wanna get the higher price. And if we take a look at this on a weekly basis, we pull this up, you know, the swing point that's sticking out here still is at that, it's 10 points higher then. I mean, that's 334, you know? So those cues get a different animal happening in them. Let's go inside the NVX today and just look at what's in them.  Taken away from it here, B&B's down 10, you get PayPal off 4, you get Walmart boots down 2, and Marriott's off 2. We go to the gold contract, we take a look at the gold contract we have with gold contract out here. You know, you're down four bucks, that's really a sideways move when you start talking about where we are. You get, oh, this is 23,000, this is a good move. Yeah, this is really big volume. Okay, we're still pushing highs with volume, this is good. This is, yeah, we get two million contracts, yeah. Two, no, 237,000, yeah. But that's good contract volume. So gold's still in an ABC structure on the way up. Now you're pushing highs again, and you're pushing them with volume. We go to the dollar, and we take a look at the dollar. We have inside the dollar, and you can see that the dollar's running the markets. Well, the dollar, an interest rate structure. But you can see when we start, let me put this on an intraday chart so you can see how this shakes out. On an intraday chart, what you're gonna see here is that the dollar bottom line started out at a price boost, it was at nine o'clock. Yeah, so the dollar started out, it was at approximately the 101, 700 area. Bottom line is that when that started giving it up on price, what you had is that the S&P, you know, bottom line went top side in a huge way, and you know, the correlation is just so direct, okay? So put this back and you're gonna see what we're talking about here. You know, the S&P, the futures there, we went from the 41, 27, got all the way up to 41, 73. As the dollar come off its lows, that's when we went from the 41, 73 all the way down to the 41, 12. Now what has happened again is that the dollar's giving it up again, bottom line that gives the market a little more breathing room.  It's pretty subtle, but you know, when we take a look at this, you're gonna see that every one of these lows have been higher since going back to the April 15th area. You know, excluding going back to January, that is the low, but then we came in with one, two, three, four, this is the fifth higher low. Now we don't have a higher high, okay? So, I suspect though, this 106 is game again, you know, because yeah, we'll see where it shakes out, but it's a real tricky one at this area, but that's what it looks like. But we have the wide price spread out here, which you know, if you're trading both sides of the market, or even one side of the market, whatever side you like, bulls and bears got everything they need out here today. Some of the higher volume equities out here today. We had Tesla or Tesla's flat, Advanced Micro's up a buck 70. We had Amazon up 350, Amazon's moving. Let's take a look at Amazon. What is happening here? Yeah, see that, it wants that spike up there. Amazon has that high volume up there at that 114 area. So that's where I suspect it wants to go. And I'm sure, you know, depending on how long you've listed folks, okay, it was a real bummer. We lost our German Shepherd yesterday. Anyway, Harley, 13 and a half years old, you've seen him, because he's been here beside me some days. It's always tough. That was my seventh German Shepherd. I've had a German Shepherd since I was 14, insane. Anyway, Dow, Dow industries right now, down 101, that's the up 118, come right back.

Three at 1-877-927-6648. Internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Welcome back, folks. Dow, Dow Industries right now, down 90 Nasdaqs up 123, SAPs are up 14. Let's go inside the Dow Industries. Take a look at the strength versus the weakness point-wise inside here. So what we have is that you get Microsoft putting 34 positive points, Salesforce 25, Apple 9, taking away from it. American Express minus 33, Goldman minus 22, Visa minus 18, Chevron minus 13. Let's go take a look at that oil market. So the oil market right now we're trading 72. Okay, so now the question's gonna be here. Let's take a look at this. So put some volume on this. So we went fast and furious from the highs of 87 down to 63. We take a look at this. So you're right at a 0.382, right? No, you're at a 50. The 50? Yeah, you're at a 50 right now. So this is, the volume's not bad but it's gonna need a lot more volume. You can see this. So right now we're doing 327,000. Well the 327 though is going into 450. So bottom line, that doesn't bad bid well for higher prices. If we take a look at the XLE, the equities that are inside it, they wanna test the low. So the XLE, it's got a high volume low. That's laying down there at the $75. Right now it's $79. We push this out. Okay, this is interesting though. Look at this. Yeah, this is interesting. So watch this. I haven't seen one of these for a while. So what's happening? Now this is setting up a long triangle folks. And what happens is that, let me pull this over. This won't be finished. It's hard to tell. Let's see, I have this on the weekly. I have this on the weekly. So this looks like it has at least, at least a couple of months to go. And something to keep in mind on something like this, right? Many times what does happen is that the first move is not the move that it gonna basically do the continuation contract, continuation. So let's say that the first move of the break of this triangle goes lower.   You really wanna watch something like this. And what happens is this, if it breaks right here, it's not good at all. That's the bottom line. No matter which way it went, then it doesn't tell you anything. The closer you get to the peak of the triangle, the more probability is that whatever way, if you go down, you're gonna go up.  So this is gonna get pretty interesting watching. Let's go take a look at EXK for one of the targets out here. So this is Endeavour Silver. The lowest, 247, the highs, 455. They take in 55 million a quarter. Whoa, what happened here? Is this gonna be all the license and agreement? Let's take a look at this. Okay, so they come up with numbers. Okay, let's see what they had to say. Revenue, 55 million. That's minus 3.8% year over year. They were looking for seven cents and they only come in with three. Yeah, this is a problem though. This is gonna be a secondary problem also, because what you have also, interesting, is that you get a huge volume. Okay, this can get down to, what is that, 248. You know, right now it doesn't look that bad on a weekly, but that's because we have a few more days left in a week. But that's, you know, what is also happening out here, and we could just go over it quickly again, is the aspect of, if you have silver minus period inside of Mexico, they're gonna present problems. Not all, well I don't know if all of them are not. What does happen is this, is that the new law is stating that you're gonna take 5% of the profits, and it's the lease structure that's the problem, because you can't imagine, so picture this, the lease structure's gonna be a big deal, the more I was thinking about this. So picture, this is where this comes down to, what ends up happening is that you have the property, you build the mine, and so let's say you build in the mine and you get, you know, a 60-year lease on it, right? Well, the mine itself costs the fortune, and then if they're gonna pull back on the lease structure, and then turn around and say, okay, now they own the mine, they have the lease, they don't give you another lease, or they give you a shorter term lease and it's a much bigger number. Well, you can see what happens, they can destroy numbers, they can destroy companies pretty quickly, so I think that's gonna be facing a lot of equities and doing business inside Mexico, which is, by the way, almost unheard of in the metals business, because, yeah, it sounds like Russia, because what has happened, that's the bottom line, that's what happened when Putin came in, if you're, you know, depending, I know a lot of you Tigers and the Tigers have listened to me for 20 years, and when I had Bob Kenneth, Bob Kenneth, Kenneth Fluth, Bob, I forget his last name, but the bottom line, he was the CEO of Ken Ross Gold at that particular point, and he had already put, I think he had already put like, I don't know, 40, 50 million into the mine, and a bottom line is that he walked us through the whole deal. I mean, sometimes, you know, I have all those tapes, I just don't, I just, I don't know if I, I think I marked all of them, but it'll take a while to find something like that, but that was one of the coolest times that I think that a CEO flat out, that was at a money show we were doing, and he walked us right through the whole deal, right to the point of he had already put the money in, he was over in Russia, they were having another meeting at eight o'clock in the morning, they had a drink, a bottle of vodka first, I mean, he's the one that's saying this, it was hilarious, and then they turned around and laid it into him, and he didn't go for it. And then what ended up happening is that he didn't go for it, I don't know if they canned him, he just quit Ken Ross at that particular point, but from that point on, you know, Russian minds, it was about three or four years after that, they just took them all over basically. Disney, so let's take a look at Disney, Disney's gonna be coming out with numbers after the close today, they are gonna be looking for 21 billion to the top line, 92 cents to the bottom line, they're looking that their media entertainment takes in 56 billion, the parks take in 28 million, they're not giving us numbers about their growth, it doesn't look like they're growing at all, really, that's kind of how this is shaking out. Stay right there folks, and we'll continue with Disney as soon as we get back. We have the Dow, Dow Industries right now, look at that, oh my God, that's hilarious. So you're talking about the spread in the Dow, the Dow is only down 10 right now, by the way, the Dow had been up, I believe almost 300. I am D.U. Stay right there, we'll come right back.

So let's get into this Dow for a second, because this is quite a move this Dow made out here today. We have a high of, look at this, so it's a 400 point move. You have a high of 772, 33, 772, a low of 33, 239, and right now you're at 33, 541. That's a move, man, that is a move. It's gonna look like we didn't move at all by the end of the day. So this is almost an inside day except that you did have a 500 point move, 550 point move inside the Dow from high solos. And listen, if you're investing in it, it's hard to do. If you're trading in it, it's a little bit easier because on a day like day, you can just pick your sides and each side, one. And that happens in high volatility markets, folks. That's the bottom line. You do see that happen. Oh, bonds, yeah, bonds won higher price, man. Check this out. I mean, this could be, end up being CY. This could be a monster ABC up. We'll take a look at this. And this is where it's gonna get really intriguing because the CPI, it came in normal like what they expected. But if you listen to Tommy this morning, it's gonna take a long, what is it? It was, when he was breaking it down. For what we're going down on the CPI, folks, it would take three years to get back to 2%. And that would be stacking a five, five and a half, four, four and a half, three, three and a half. You do have for three more years, you got some big numbers on top of it. We take a look at the 10-year right now. The 10-year, you've done 1.3 million contracts today. You take a look at it, you got an expansion. Yesterday, so watch. You get down the last two days. Yesterday, we did one million contracts. The day before that, you did 970. You go up today with 1.3. This is gonna go to the top again. And if you take a look at the retracements that we had in the contract itself, we did just over a 0.382. So your probability is number one, you're gonna get to the highs. If we break the highs, then you're gonna see, well, if we get the volume behind the move, you're gonna see an ABC up and it's a big ABC up. It's a, yeah, it's a seven point in the bond market. So you're talking 120 and right now you're at 115. The Fed rate right now is five to five and a quarter. That being said, the market rate that 10-year is trading at 3.4. Now, check this out. If we go back, I believe it's six months. Nope, it's not six months. Okay, is it nine months? Okay, one second, six months. I see, okay, so we've come down seven tenths of 1%. And that's a lot when we're considering that, you know, you have the spread we're only at 3.3. So that's, the Fed's saying one thing, the market's saying something different.  Look at this, it's all green again. You gotta love it. Let's go into the NQs and take a look at the NQs. They're leading and you remember something, when the NDX is leading, that can drag the market up in a monster way, huge. So if we take a look at the, oh, and look what happened here, look at this. See that last bar, that last bar has volume. Not as much as the volume that we had out here 10 o'clock this morning, but it had volume. That's for sure. So we take a look at the NDX. Yeah, it's breaking top side, man. This is breaking top side. Yep, and the further you get away from this top, particularly because this consolidated top has been in place since, what date is that? That's March 27th, March 27th. You get a break top side, yeah. Oh, I know, we gotta go back to Disney. That's what we're doing. So Disney does come out after the close today, May 10th, folks. So let's take a look at Disney here. Well, put this on, I got it on a weekly, let me put it on a monthly. Okay, so on a monthly, you tested, I get close to the March 2020 low. The March 2020 low had monster volume, 610 million. You got down there with 200 million. This one's higher price, and not just because of that, because I'm gonna show you here, because the last swing point here had volume. It didn't hold price, but it had volume. So that's saying, we're at 101, that's saying Disney can get to 107 to 118. We gave it up on price when it did trade to that 118, but see the amount of volume that it did? That's a big volume spike right there. So what that says is that it can make its way all the way up to that area. Let's go take a look at the gold market out here. So we can start with the GDX, still in good shape.  See, this is where the, okay, let's go, let's look at a few of them. Let's look at an eco-eagle, AEM. That's definitely still in good shape.  Now, Newmont's been a dog, but we'll throw it up there and see what it looks like. Yeah, see, Newmont today rejected lower price as light of volume. That's saying that the sector itself wants to go. Franco-Nevada, FNV, that's one of the big streamers out here. Franco-Nevada's an ABC up, but Franco-Nevada wants to go break its all-time highs. This is where it, 152, I think it's 189, the all-time highs, let me look at this. Yeah, it's 189, but this is an ABC up on a weekly basis. So that should get up and over. Now, you want to see something that's really cool. You know, just looking at this, you got one, two, three higher lows, and so far we get two higher highs. It's quite a consolidation. This has been amongst the consolidation. I mean, if you were in this, you'd taken some heat, man, because the consolidation is one, yeah, oh my God, it was like 105 up to 150. But guess what, inside of the gold market, that's kind of normal. Yeah, the heat comes. There is no doubt about it. The heat comes in spades. Now, if we set up like this, let's go see, I want to see in the NASDAQ, because the NASDAQ has volume coming in the cues, and the NASDAQ's going to have volume in the composite also, compared to what we've been doing. You know, we've already done 4.1, so that composite's going to have some volume out there. If we go into the NYSE, that's going to be light volume. So this divergence, there's no doubt about that. Stay right there, folks, we'll come right back. We have the Dow. Dow Industrial's flat, NASDAQ's up 148, SAP's up 24, we'll come right back.

Welcome back, folks, to Dow. Dow investors right now up 10, Nasdaq is up 147, SAPs are up 24, and we are gonna go over and let's look at the diamonds for a second. I wanna see how these are setting up. So the DIA, let's see. Yeah, you get some volume there too, man. Yeah, so this market wants a higher price, you know? You can see diamonds went down to the 332, you're 335 today.  The IWM had quite a move out here. The Russell had quite a move this morning, man. Well, not only this morning, just as the market the whole day. We hit 172, we do 174. Now the difference in the small caps is that you don't have volume. The volume's still not here in the small caps. If we go over to the banking index, what do you have with the banking index who don't touch this banking index? You can see that high volume low. This is still trouble, trouble in paradise. We take a look at the monthly on this. Yeah, the banking index, this would have to get back inside 4128 to even think about it.  And if you go over to, this is gonna get intriguing with Carl Icahn's company because what happened first, you had the Hindenburg come out with the acquisition that, and this was the acquisition actually is folks. The acquisition is that, see, when you take a look at this company, let's take a look at this. This is, well, he has a lot of companies. But this here, this is a master limited partnership. Depending on how long you've been in the marketplace, then we used to have so many master limited partnerships, pipelines, and all of those imploded. Not that this is different, okay? But it's a set up the same type of way. And he owns a huge amount of, well, it says nine primary business segments, automotive, investment, energy, gaming, rail car, food, packaging, metals, real estate, home fashion. The biggest part of this is energy. So the acquisition is that, so picture this, you have a fund, and then you have all these private companies inside of the fund. And what he's doing, he's putting valuations on them, okay? So of course, when you put the valuation on it, the folks look at it and say, okay, this is what the value is. This is why an equity could be this high. And he was always paying a high dividend, okay? So there's a couple instances, if you Google this, that you can see right off the bat that what he had done, and this is where it's gonna probably be trouble from, because what had happened today is that the, I think it's the Justice Department was asking for something. Yeah, so he added his clothes that the U.S. Attorney was seeking information about some of the units. And what they're gonna seek about for sure is there was one that they would put in, there was two actually in the Wall Street Journal as they were explaining this. And one of them in particular was that he bought millions of shares in a small energy group at 89 cents and then valued it at almost $3 inside the fund. And that was like simultaneously. So, we'll see where it goes, but you can see chart-wise, bottom line, things fell apart, goes down. There's a counter trend bounce that's right back down here today. So we'll see where the whole thing's gonna shake out, it's troubling paradise. When that did bounce, what he did do is that he declared a $2 dividend per unit, which is a huge amount by the way. And that was for owners though. Don't get this confused, okay? Because what happened is that when he did that, the stock was trading at $30. And of course, if he had two bucks on 30, on a quarter of it would be eight bucks for the year. So I was like, are you kidding? He's talking about a 25, 26% dividend. Well, that was for owners at the end of March, not at the end of May. That was the end of March. And that bounced the stock, now the bottom line is you're coming back down, we'll see where the whole thing shakes out, but I'm sure that he's not too happy getting summonses from the government about the valuations. Valuations inside private funds are always a problem. Not always a problem, but this is where they do stick out. There's no doubt about it. Oh yeah, well I'll look at this, okay? I'm gonna almost tell you no about selling Fresno, but let me pull this up. FN, I've never, FN, okay, FNLPF. Okay, so let's take a look at this. This is, okay, so this is Fresno, they're providing mining and exploration services. The company owns and operates silver, gold mines, as well as portfolio development, exploration projects along the silver and gold boats, and Mexico and the United Kingdom. Okay, so now let's look at this. The headquartered 1.3 million, okay, let me see this. Yeah, see, you know, this is where this law, we gotta really get to understand this law even more. So this one here is actually headquartered in Mexico City. We'll take a look at it. See, that hurt this one too, interesting, man. Yeah, as soon as they get regulations, and yeah, this is surprising that this is not a lot higher. I can tell you that. Now that being said, I think you could hang in there until like 10 to $11. You're trading at $9 right now. Because this, you know, this is a high volume high, it pulled back with light volume. This doesn't trade a lot, but I'd kind of hang there. Dollar-wise, let's see. So this is a non-liquid stock. Yeah, and they still take $2.7 billion, you know. I'd hang there. I'd hang there up to those higher levels. That's the way I trade that thing, you know, and, you know, you could always swap it out for, if you swap it out dollar by dollar, you know, then just, you know, basically, you know, let's say you take the number of shares you have, times the price, then go look at something else for the exact same thing, because if you do a lateral move and stay in the business, you know, it doesn't matter, well, it always matters whether you want to lose what you're doing, but it's crucial, my take is it's crucial right now to stay in the mining sector, because the mining sector, you know, looks like, it looks to me, this inflation's not gonna stop, folks. Okay, it's gonna come down a bit, but it's certainly not gonna stop. I went up to, so check this out, man, Bridget and I went up to Maine over the weekend, and beautiful place, by the way. We're up to Kenny Mungport, huge, Kittery, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and you wouldn't believe, well, you wouldn't believe, the amount of far-help signs that were out, particularly in Kenny Mungport, no, in Kittery, in Kittery, and what they were looking for, this is the whole lobster business. We would eat in lobster, have a fund, you know, on basically checking out lobster boats and just wanted to be near the water and they had that whole working environment. And they're looking for lobster pickers. And with the stock rate of $16, up to $25 for experienced pickers, and I was talking to one of the biggest wholesalers up there, and they can't get me. At 24, well, he was explaining to me that the, you know, if you get real experienced pickers, I mean, that's amazing. And it is what it is, you know, so that's just saying that, hey, some people out, a lot of people out work. Stay right there, folks, come right back.

So let's go take a look at Vista Gold, okay? So one of the tags is saying, you know, every time that sort of hits 68 cents, it's hard to basically buy or sell it. Well, see, today is only 66,000 shares. Now, this is a tricky stock buying or selling. And folks, I own this and I've traded a lot, I own it. It's an ABC up to 79 right now. We hit 75. It's pulled back with light volume and you can see how light it is, okay? When you're buying or selling this. Now, on my screen up here, see how it says 69.70? If you have a TD Ameritrade, what you're gonna see, let me see it this way, this way. That spreads out to four numbers. No, there's three numbers here I'm showing, okay? 0.70. So it's out to the hundreds, okay? And if you're trying to move it quick, the way you wanna do it, you know, because it's only 69 cents. So I don't know if you're moving 1,000, 10,000, whatever it is. This is what you wanna remember. Anything under 9,000 is not gonna get stopped on the way up or the way down. So when you put no orders in, if you're gonna hit the bid or the offer, hit them at 9,000 to pop, that's how it works. So there's a rule that if you go with 10,000, what ends up happening is that the computer, it doesn't stop it, but the bottom line is a different execution than under 10,000. So when you're going in or out and you wanna get the execution, go at 9,000. And that's what you're gonna see. Let me see if I can show you some today. There's not a lot of action here because you're pulling back. Now, what ends up happening, yeah, see, well, there's only 8,700 here, 2,500, 2,500, 13,000 was this morning, it's 71. That was the high, see that? So the bottom line is just technically, it's something great to know as you're going in and out of equities in general. And that's what all equities, by the way, okay? That's how that works, okay? You know, if you're dealing larger equities, it really doesn't matter because the spy, the one out of 10,000 a second. Most other equities, though, that 9,000 level is a big one to keep your eye on. Always remember, folks, the bank and Cloya hide out the book and run you over and thank God, there's always another train. Health app is in prosperity. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Come back and visit Tommy tomorrow morning. Kicks us off 9 a.m., great show, folks. Yeah, look at him, folks.


Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling Decon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding and much more. These are our stories. This man lived alone with his two cats and they don't know how he passed away, but he was unattended or decomposed for at least a couple of weeks to the point where they could not have a normal funeral, so they had to cremate him. But the story was that the police aren't positive that it was a natural death. Unfortunately, the cats were not only walking through the body fluids and the blood, but they were probably eating on him as well. Alright, we're here running day one, and golf court might go to a day two. We're going to try and stick to a day one. We have an older gentleman, he was 51-ish in that range, sat here, I'm guessing about six weeks, he kind of liquefied everywhere. The parents are on scene, so I don't know how much talking I'll really be able to do today, but I'll try and show you guys the best parts possible. It's going to be pretty straightforward, got to clean our way in. The first responders actually walked all throughout the house. They did find some drugs that I believe they were looking for more of just to get them off the streets. He was sitting on a double recliner, I would say, so we do have to take that apart. Stay tuned, it's going to be great. Hi, I'm Sean Dorn, and I'm the director of digital marketing at Spalding Decon. I would say it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but that smell is unmistakable.  I've heard of jobs that are way worse than this, but I don't think I was prepared to see what happens with a dead body after it's been laying around for a while and seeing the blood in the tile. It's not something I expected, so I'm still kind of taking it in, see how it'll react to it. I quit? So much death. It's the most I've seen in one morning. It worked for hospice for 12 years, and we did, I remember we looked at the numbers once for a one-year period, so for 365 days, and it was like thousands of deaths that we went through that one year. Because there were some days we would have like eight, ten deaths in a day. In a day? Yeah, and it just like mentally just drained you. So I did hospice where it was death primarily. I've done Moffit, which is saving, and now, you know, I've done it all, it's full circle. Right now I'm setting up the tarp for our clean zone, that way we can get in here and get to work. Like 98, like it's just sitting. Like I'm sweating in weird places.  Yes. They do. I didn't expect you to say yes. It's okay, my bowl's wet, my bowl's wet, so I'm right there with you. He's just showing off now. It's just to get more views. Don't worry about it. There we go. No good. Since they're still liquid, we don't want to start pulling up the tile and getting it underneath the tile directly, because right now it's just in the grout lines. There's no telling if it is underneath the tile just yet until we start popping them up. I'm hoping we can just vacuum up the top layer, get all the liquid up, start chipping at it, and then slowly work our way to the couch. We've actually now, now that I've seen what it's kind of going to do and where it actually is, we've vacuumed up the top layer that we've sprayed with Part A to try and loosen it and see what else we can pull up with it. So it looks like it all just kind of gravitated that way. It's not so much by the door, but there is some fat deposit there. It's more or less by the wall on the back side of the couch from what I can see or from what I see. We're going to start with the tile chipper. We're going to start at this line tile right here. Work our way to the couch. And then while one of us is working on the couch, slowly dissecting that, the other one is going to work this way. Eventually this whole square of tile is going to have to come out. We've got to have bubble power tools. We're just going to be able to take a little break right now. That's all saturated with fat. If you lean around the corner and look down behind the couch, you can kind of see where it pulls up against the wall. And that's what we're just looking at right here. I'd like to get our sprayer with some indicator just to see if it lights up or not. I don't see it lighting up. Maddox, watch your knife. Probably a little bit of bulk. So why do you guys have to break down things like mattresses and containers and cabinets? We have to break them down because not all the time is the bio-saturated through. So for this instance, it's from maybe midway over. Not necessarily all the way down, but it was soaked into the cushion. So we know that we have to remove this half and we'll dispose of the rest into a dump trailer when we get back to the office. And then all the metal, since it's hard to remove that, we can shock wave all that and it's clean and it's not a porous material. So we can actually just shock wave that and get the bio off of it. You can see where it pulled up in the grout line. And it'll spread over that. So right now, we're just kind of clearing an area for us to bring out the couch. We have the van parked in the front of the house so nobody can really see exactly what we're doing. So we'll put the couch here. We'll be able to flip it over, de-con the bottom of it, and then it's mainly tile work until we get to the other couch and then we get to flip that over. We'll probably just bring that outside I got it on the first ledge. Should work out for the day? That's my workout for the week. That's my workout for the month. I think the cat might have been stuck underneath the couch.  Alright, so plan of action for this. I keep feeling like I have hair on my face and the only hair that's coming in contact could be this. One of us is going to spray this and de-con it the rest of the way. One of us is going to be inside chipping away at the floor a little bit more trying to get all that up trying to tag team this and get it done a little bit quicker. So we're at the end of day one. It did end up turning into a two-day job. We've got two places that it one went through the grout line the thick grout line somehow. We also have two spots to get up against the wall where it seemed like it seeped down beneath the baseboard. We haven't even popped those yet. I hope it's already getting kind of late. It sounds like it's about to storm too. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Tomorrow goes pretty smooth, pretty quick. See you guys then. Alright guys, we're back here on day two. We tried so hard to get it all done in day one. But alas, it did go under the wall on the main couch side. We still haven't got behind the second one. So today's plan of action. Try and get the rest of the floor up. Try and get this whole job done today. It's going to be an interesting day. See if it gives it the possibility to turn off. Alright, so right now Fiona is finishing cutting off that two-foot flood cut. Hopefully it didn't go too far past that eight-foot point. While she was cutting that, we rolled over the couch while she took a little break. I started soaking all the bio in part A to try and extract it as much as possible before I start chipping up the tile. I want to get all the liquid that's sitting off of the top whether it be bio or part A mixed together. I don't want all of that off that way. It's not hitting the subfloor. So far, nothing has touched the subfloor that I can tell. But there's no telling until we get behind that drywall. So it turns out it's actually plaster, not drywall, like we were told or thought. So over here, it's okay that we did do a two-foot. You know, it's all even at square. The only difference is over there, we're just not going to have to do a two-foot. It'll be able to do like a six-inch over there. Blaster walls don't soak up things like drywall does. So that's good for us. But it also kind of makes us look not the greatest just because we did it over here. Message of the day, learn from your mistakes. So I came by to check on Nick and Fiona on the DCOP job and you can hear the tools in the back. They're still jacking up the tiles. But I was able to speak to the family who just came down from the Midwest and I got kind of the story on what may have happened. So this man lived alone with his two cats and they don't know how he passed away, he was unattended or decomposed for at least a couple of weeks to the point where they could not have a normal funeral. So they had to cremate him. But the story was that the police aren't positive that it was a natural death. So they're investigating it and trying to figure out if there was foul play in here. Unfortunately, the cats were not only walking through the body fluids and the blood, but they were probably eating on him as well. They were pretty malnourished, but a friend of the family was able to come and take the cats and they're going to be okay. Thank God, right? So right now they can't even do much with the property. They can't get his personal stuff because it's still being investigated as a policy. So that's kind of what's going on now. This is day two of this project. It's going to probably go into a day three. This is not normal ceramic tile. It's saltillo, so it's extremely thick stuff. It's really hard to get up, very labor intensive. And then the house is pretty old too. So we've got plaster walls and, you know, that takes a lot more time and effort to remove than drywall does. So if you get the first one, it feels like right to me. We just got the ranch yesterday too. Oh. So it feels like right to me. You push and I'm like, I can push. I push and he was just like, why? She's like, pull it, pull it. Hey, this stuff is thick. Yeah. Wow. You just enjoy getting, it's not close up either, is it? Because you have that wide lens. It was close. It was? I don't know how I feel about that. So what we're about to do now, now that we've already chipped a nice clean line on the floor, we're going to take out the parts that aren't covered in bio, throw those in a black bag outside after we smash them into smaller pieces. Over in this little corner, we're going to have mainly bio. This is mainly what it is. All that's going to go into a red bag. We're just going to go into the bin. We've got a new project over here. We're trying to cut out the beams that way we can scrub, seal, get all the bio encapsulated and not actively living anymore. Also got another little addition to our little team here today. Alex has finally joined us. She's going to be sticking to more of the trash side. Fiona has also been working in the kitchen and the sunroom in the back, wiping off all the cat puke because the cats were in here. Just have to wipe all the puke, wipe the walls down, all with simple green to disinfect it. So that's our plan. It should be fun. It just stopped. Damn, that's low. Hot enough that it started to, seemed like it started to catch on fire. Guys, we're at the end of day two. We were actually going to stretch it out to day three, but things were going better than we had thought and better than we had planned. So we instead just decided to bust it out and get it all done today. We had Alex join us about lunchtime, slightly afters when she started to join us. So that extra hand really, or extra two hands, should I say, really helped us out and speed things up a little bit. So that's the end of day two and I hope you guys enjoyed. Thanks for watching guys. Don't forget to like, share, subscribe and ring that bell to be notified of the next episode. For more information visit any of our locations. That's it guys. Until the next.


Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you, including Vince Power, John and Becky Johnston, and Chris Benito. Coming up on DTNS today, what is the future of satellite internet? What's Apple really working on? And what's up with those EV prices? This is the Daily Tech News for Monday, June 27th, 2022. From Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. In lovely Cleveland, Ohio, I'm Richard Raffalino. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. Got a lot to talk about today, talking EV prices, talking Apple rumors, some of it rumors, some of it probably true. But let's start with a few tech things you should know. All right, well, LG Electronics jointly acquired the South Korean electric vehicle charger developer, Apple Mango, with the deal made in partnership with the EV charging station operator, GS Energy, and its IT provider, GS Neotech. Apple Mango will become a subsidiary of LG. The company said it will work on making approachable UIs for charging stations and better coordinate its battery development, storage systems, energy management, and charging solutions. Global wafer announced it plans to build a $5 billion factory in Sherman, Texas to produce silicon wafers needed for semiconductor manufacturing. Global wafer claims that existing US wafer capacity can supply 20% of domestic demand by 2025. The factory will produce 300 millimeter wafers with a volume of up to 1.2 million wafers per month. It's the first new silicon wafer facility in the US in over two decades. Well, we've talked about bug bounties on DTNS before and they've become increasingly common with tech companies in recent years. If you're not familiar, they offer monetary rewards for security researchers who disclose vulnerabilities. Now it seems that cyber crime organizations are following suit with the launch of the LockBit 3.0, the ransomware as a service organization also introduced its own bug bounty program offering rewards between $1,000 and $1 million for submitted vulnerabilities. LockBit will also pay bounties for brilliant ideas on improving its operations and its top reward will be for doxing its affiliate manager known as LockBit SUP. Needless to say, helping a criminal enterprise is illegal in many countries. Indeed it is. When Apple settled its long running legal battle with Qualcomm back in 2019, its challenge on two Qualcomm patents were allowed to continue. The patent and trademark offices patent trial and appeal board ruled in favor on Qualcomm asserting that the patents had validity. The US court of appeals for the federal circuit dismissed an Apple appeal saying that it lacked standing due to the settlement. Apple then took its case to the Supreme Court. The court officially rejected Apple's appeal on the patents. Apple's current licensing agreement with Qualcomm runs until 2025 with an option to be extended to 2027. As of June 27th, consumers using the old Google Hangouts mobile apps will be prompted by an upgrade screen to use Google Chat, either it's standalone app or as part of Gmail. Once receiving this prompt, the classic Hangouts app will stop working with conversations automatically migrated for most users. Google warns though that some conversations may not migrate and it will email impacted users around September 2022. So that's a big deal to you. You have a vague amount of certainty. Users on Hangouts, a Chrome extension will be directed to Google Chat on the web. And in July, Hangouts in Gmail's website bar will be upgraded to Chat in Gmail. The Hangouts.google.com client will continue to work until at least October 2022 before being redirected to Chat as always with anything Hangouts very smooth and easy to understand.  Just kinda love those naming conventions. All right, let's talk about internet and specifically satellite internet. Many times when we talk about the emerging networks of satellite delivered internet service, we think of it as solving a last mile problem. Places that aren't being served by modern broadband speeds, need something beyond what a sub six gigahertz 5G network can deliver regularly, right? You're probably out there saying, yeah, yeah, that applies to me. With the invasion of Ukraine, we've also seen how satellite internet can be used to provide access during nationwide conflicts. But it also turns out to be an effective way to stay connected when you're otherwise trying to intentionally be off grid, right, Rich? Yeah, and the Verge looked at one of these kind of early services that are offering this and it's StarLynx RV service. Looked how it stacked up against cellular connectivity across a variety of situations. This is in addition to StarLynx residential service that runs on more fixed terminals. The RV service isn't the cheapest option out there. It requires a $599 dish and a $135 monthly service fee. And it offers something like 50 to 250 megabit per second down and 10 to 20 megabit per second up. That's their stated performance goals. Those aren't like guarantees, but they're their goals. Comparing performance at crowded beach, a festival and in a tree-lined forest in Germany, the Verge found that performance mostly fell in line with those goals and notably exceeded cellular pretty significantly across the board. Yeah, so this really is like an off the grid type thing. If you're living in a tree house or otherwise out and about, not terrible speeds here. I mean, I need more than that for what we're doing right here the second, but for kind of general stuff, I think it would work out pretty well, as long as it's stacked up to what the speed say that they're gonna be. However, it was not perfect. Setup can take up to 15 minutes when connecting to a router. Some people are either not gonna have that kind of time or not really understand what's going on and locking onto a satellite to then get your service. And obstructions also cause network interruptions and a few outages. Yeah, they were saying in the tree-lined forest, they really kind of had to pick their spot to kind of get the best coverage. And that was where they had some of the most issues during their testing. Although they said it was still better than cellular. I mean, it was pretty remarkable. Again, this was a little bit of an extreme situations. They deliberately chose to do places where there was either gonna be a ton of people hitting a very few amount of cell towers or places that were really stretching the boundaries of cellular connectivity. But that's kind of the point with these kind of services. And what was interesting about that was, I can't remember the review now off the top of my head, but they were saying that it kind of changed how they thought about kind of this kind of van life, kind of going off grid where you could take a longer term trip somewhere and really not have to worry about that. And the fact that, yes, there is an initial investment that's upfront, but it's not like the service isn't on a contract. So you could suspend your payments on it. And if you're wanna do, hey, I'm gonna for three months travel out in the country or something like that, not really have to worry about that, presumably unless you're traveling through, I don't know, a dense redwood forest or something. Really wish Patrick Norton was here right now. Cause he would be the person who would say, here's where this is going to work and here's where it's not going to work. To me, it seems pretty cost prohibitive. You got a $600 dish, you only buy that once, 135 monthly service fee, for anybody who's used to, I don't know, paying for a cable subscription. I mean, maybe that won't break the bank too much. I think a lot more of this, though, is this Starlink RV service was probably put into place when a lot of people were like, let's get out of dodge. A lot of folks have been doing a little bit more extended road trip or getting out of cities. And there's plenty of that still going on, but I'm not sure if the market is ripe for this as much as it might've been, let's say, two years ago. Yeah, and what's interesting, what specifically Starlink is doing here is there is also an option to combine this in kind of like a hybrid configuration. You still have to pay for the dish so the cost prohibitive nature of it isn't going together, but it does get you to a point where you could say, okay, I'm gonna, I still need this for like a last mile situation or maybe it's just the best option speed-wise for what's in my area. So whatever the price is going to be, if I want internet connectivity at a certain speed, that's like what you have to pay, like if that's your only option, and then you can also have it as kind of this way to extend yourself if you are going out that way. You know, again, it's changing. I mean, I think a lot about when we first got like 3G service that could kind of, you know, you could kind of tether it to a laptop and you could start getting email, you could start doing like a little bit of messaging. Maybe you could edit your WordPress blog or something like that on the go and about what we can do with this. Now this is like a 10 pound antenna. It takes a not inconsiderable amount of energy, you know, you do have to attach it to a router. Like this is the most kluge it's going to be for these types of services, but the iteration on this is what really has me excited. Yeah, so if you're wondering, okay, how do I power my new Starlink RV service while I'm on the road, EcoFlow just announced new modular and expandable power kits to offer a turnkey solution for adding power to your off-grid location. Using stackable lithium ion phosphate batteries coming in two kilowatt and five kilowatt hour options with central inputs and outputs to have them charged with optional solar panels. If you're in a situation where you can make use of the sun, a vehicle's inverter as well or the mains. Three can be combined for up to 15 kilowatt hours enough to power a motor home for 18 hours or so. Pretty good. Pre-orders for 15 power kit bundles open on July 5th, ship mid-August, and range from about $3,800 for two kilowatt hours to $13,400 for an ultimate 15 kilowatt hours package. I mean, if you really want to go all in on van life, you can get your EcoFlow 15 kilowatt power. It's like, you thought it was expensive before. It's going to cost you as much as a house. But again, looking at prices for something that's mobile, again, these are really exciting for enterprise. I could see these definitely getting used by like vehicle modders, people that modify like Volkswagen Vans and stuff like that to put really cool stuff in there. RV companies and stuff like that taking advantage of these for sure, even if not just regular consumers. All right, well, before we were hit with a multi-year supply chain disruption, it seemed that automakers were ready to move electric vehicles from either being luxury vehicles with a comfortable range or a kind of box city cars into more mainstream offerings across a variety of price points. While we haven't seen automakers really slow down in announcing ambitious new model offerings that seem to flow with this trend. Indeed, as fleet seem to be anxious to announce electrification goals, we're seeing it accelerating of nothing else. The reality of the supply situation means prices have remained near luxury levels. Yeah, the Wall Street Journal reported on some new figures from JD Power showing that Americans paid an average of $54,000 for an electric vehicle, an EV in 2022 through May, which is up 22% on the year. Now, the auto industry as a whole seems to be grappling with increased prices. I've got a used car that is worth more than I bought it for. And the average price on internal combustion engine vehicles also increased 14% on the year to $44,400. Yeah, so I'm sure some of that is inflation related, but definitely supply chain playing a part as well. For EVs specifically, the supply chain situation means that a lot of this price increase just comes down to raw components for the vehicles. The analysts at Alex Partners report that the cost of lithium, nickel and cobalt, things that are prominently used in batteries for these vehicles have roughly doubled, resulting in raw material costs for EVs up 140% since March, 2020 to about $8,255 per vehicle, on average, obviously depends on the vehicle. This reality has caused almost every EV maker to increase prices with Ford's CFO, John Lawler, saying that combined with inflation, profits on its Mach-E EV have largely been gobbled up. They have been shifting prices to, of course, account for this, but that's a flagship vehicle for Ford for their CFO to come out and say that is a pretty big deal. Yeah, yeah. And Ford has been very bullish on EVs for some time now and people have been eagerly awaiting EV models, particularly in the truck area. Despite the market price pressure, though, consumer interest in EVs does remain high. People want EVs, but I don't think anyone's saying like, no, that's not for me. You might be one of those people, but most people say, well, sure, this, if it can help gas prices and my pocketbook, it's almost like installing solar panels on your house. It'll work itself out in a certain amount of time. Wall Street Journal reporting online EV searches up 73% on Kelly Blue Book and Auditrader since January. So people are interested, but those prices might be a bit of sticker shock. Yeah, and Roger, we were talking about this on the pre-show, but the idea that if people can overcome these higher barrett entries, and that is a lot, especially whether you're leasing or financing, that is a bigger barrier to entry, but theoretically, these vehicles require a lot less maintenance long-term that may still make the math kind of work out economically for some people. I mean, with our recent EV round table that we did, one of the things I learned was that the maintenance is really low on an EV. I mean, even brake pads aren't something that you replace as often because with regenerative braking, you aren't necessarily burning out your brake pads at the same rate. And what's fascinating is that a lot of people will bulk at the initial cost, but gladly sign up for lease for a quasi-luxury SUV, but that's an upfront cost. And if you amortize that over the life of a car, which let's just say it's 10 years, you keep a car for 10 years, it would actually still be cheaper than if you bought an internal combustion equivalent, assuming electricity prices don't go raging to the stratosphere for some reason. The other reason I suspect is that because EVs have a high cost for manufacturing initially because it is a relatively new segment, a lot of automakers like Tesla did initially, all their initial models are the pricey models, because that helps them justify the lower cost of something like a bolt. Mach EV is a very, it's a sports SUV. It's not, it's not a AMC Rambler where it just gets you home and to work again. It's, they're very high-appointed luxury treatments to it. And so I think what you're seeing is we're gonna get all the people willing to pay the money down first, even with the Ford F-150 Lightning. The prices on that is 50 plus and that's just with the base model, but people are willing to pay that. So the market will have the price that people are willing to bear and right now people are willing to bear those prices. And here's something to keep in mind also with, with this EV prices up 22% in the year. Tesla has a giant market share with EVs. If you look at Motor Trend had their top 12 car, their 12 selling EVs of 2021. And by far the Model Y and the Model 3 represent like over 50% of the amount of cars sold on there, like significantly more than that. So the idea is, you know, looking at Model Y pricing, that's up 28% on the year. That's the top selling car with like 100, over 150,000 vehicles that were sold last year. So if that is going up that significantly, that's gonna have a huge impact on like the overall, not to say that every EV maker isn't increasing prices because we clearly are seeing that. Like if you looking through the headlines preparing for this, it's very easy to find EV price going up, EV price going up. So I'm not saying anyone else is immune to that. Just that Tesla's kind of, you know, is certainly perhaps overrepresented when they raise prices that has a broader impact on that average. The other thing is that a very popular, another popular EV, the Chevy Bolt wasn't on sale for the beginning part of this year due to battery fire recalls. Probably a good reason not to be on sale. But that is on the cheaper end of the EV spectrum and they just announced price cuts for that. So that is potentially something that was off the market that people were interested in EV. They would be paying a higher price potentially for replacement, although there are other cheaper EVs than the Bolt, something like the Ionic or the Leaf are out there that are also more on the affordable scale. But that, you know, I can imagine that might have some impact on those numbers. And we'll see next year with, you know, because of the F-150 Lightning isn't accounted for this, it's probably gonna be a very expensive car. You know, that might, you know- And a very popular car. Yeah, with the amount of models kind of entering the market so quickly at a variety of price points even with increased prices, that makes it tough to make it a one-to-one comparison because the market is definitely not standing still with EVs for sure. Yeah, market's a little volatile in general. You might have thoughts on EV prices, thoughts on why they've gone up, why they might come back down or anything else that we talk about on the show. And you know what? We'd like to hear your feedback. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com is where to send an email and might make it into a future show. Thank you in advance. Well, if it's Sunday evening, you probably see the power-on newsletter from Mark Gurman. That's if you have access to my inbox. And if you do, please don't forward anything untoward. But he reports that Apple will release a deluge of devices over the next year. That is a deluge is his verbiage, not mine. While some are expected product refreshes, things you probably would assume Apple would release every single year, this product's surfeit seems to run widely across most of Apple's product lines. Yeah, so obviously Apple's mixed reality headset is looming. Everyone wants to know, does it exist? One's a coming out. Pretty sure at this point it exists, but one's a coming out. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo pegged this for a January release last week. Mark Gurman now claims this will include the base M2 processor with 16 gigs of RAM. On the iPhone front, Apple will release its usual four iPhone 14 models reportedly and the pros will have new features as well. Gurman also says the pros will offer a previously reported always on display to complement the new lock screen features in iOS 16. Also use a new A16 chip and the standard 14S will use last year's A15 chip and also ditch the mini size option because a lot of people just did not buy that many. Yeah, and Sarah, real quick, I mean, I'm curious what's your pulse on kind of reusing the chip here. Obviously they'll come with new, they'll have all the new software features from iOS 16 in there, but lacking that and that always on display, that's a device that moves, that's the top seller, right? Like the standard iPhone, right? Is the top seller. They're probably doing this because they don't have a lot of options from the supply chain perspective. Is that, we've seen this rumor out there for a while, Gurman confirming it makes me feel like it's pretty rock solid. What are your thoughts on that? Yeah, I mean, I have to assume that's what's going on here. I think that, yeah, I mean, Apple has the supply chain issue that we talk about ad nauseam on the show. I wish we didn't, but you know, it just still remains a thing. This is something that Apple has downplayed, you know, as a company, we've figured it out. No, Apple has not figured it. Nobody has totally figured this out. So I think, yeah, I think if you've got, if you've got a bunch of components and they can go into devices that can be sold for a pretty penny and that's what Apple does quite well, then I think you need to sort of deal with what you're working with. And the plus side, if you bought a 13, I guess you feel pretty good. You still have one of the latest chips in your phone. So that'll be kind of cool. But Gurman has some more. That would be me, Rich. That would be me. Well, I'm glad. Pretty smart. So is Mark Gurman. And he says that on the Mac front, he also expects M2 to come to the Mac Mini. Was a little bit of surprise they didn't announce that when they announced the Mac Mini, but also an option for an M2 Pro chip inside of Mac Mini. The M2 Pro and Mac's variants will also come to refresh 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. I would put that on kind of the expected refresh spectrum of these announcements. And the Apple Silicon Mac Pro will launch within the next year, according to Gurman, M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme options on board. So something new. And Apple's seemingly exhausting the supply of adjectives available to them. Then early next year, lining up on the Silicon, Gurman says Apple will launch devices with M3 Silicon, including an updated MacBook Air with 13 and 15-inch models. Again, that's a rumor we've seen out there before with 15 inches. And a new iMac, as well as possibly a 12-inch laptop. I'm not totally in the market for a Mac Mini, although I'm using a Mac Mini for the show. I bought it in late 2018, and it chugs right along. It's not an M1 chip. Soon as that got announced, I was like, darn it, Mac Mini. But it does what I need to do for the show. And I don't really push this particular machine all that much. I do some editing on this, but it's OK. It's worked out nice. I know Scott Johnson has an M1 Mac Mini that he was very happy with when he got it. And I feel like that is just the sweet spot for me. If you've got a monitor already, any monitor will do. And something that isn't going to take up a lot of space, it's not going to be cheap. You have other options, obviously. But if you want to go the Mac route, it's such a nice one. And to have something that is so much more robust in the small form factor, I mean, I think they'll sell a lot of them. Yeah, and that pro also gives you that for the person that's kind of afraid that a future proofing, right? Where they're like, I always want to get the next spec up because I want this to last for more than four years or something like that. Having that pro inside there does give you that latitude with presumably not being outrageously expensive, although the refresh MacBooks were a little bit more expensive than the M1s were a couple of years ago. The pricing on these obviously will be key. But I mean, if that were the end of it, that would be a lot of hardware. But the deluge continues, right, Sarah? It does. In fact, Mark Gurman expects three Apple Watch models in the next year. If you were having problem with keeping up with the name, it's just going to get worse. We got a new SE, supposedly, a standard Series 8 model and a recognized Apple Watch model. These would be powered by a new S8 chip that would have the same performance as the outgoing S7. And that S8 chip will also find its way into a new HomePod model that would be close to the original in terms of size and audio performance with an updated top display. He also expects an updated Apple TV with an A14 chip that I'm looking forward to. Also updated AirPod Pros and M2-based iPad Pros. Yeah, that HomePod, of all of the announcements, that has me the most interested because HomePod is, I don't want to call it, it's certainly not a failed product. Lots of people liked it, but it seemed like a product that Apple iterated on fairly quickly, right? The HomePod mini is kind of their answer to a lot of the smart assistant speakers that are out there at very affordable price points. And the idea that they could be rethinking this, supposedly the pricing is going to be a little bit more reasonable. My question is what is going to be the sales pitch? Because clearly like beam formed audio, like straight to your ears that accounts for how your room is set up and it delivered laudable sound quality was not a selling point for this. And it seems like it's always a challenge to market a device with just as sound quality as your kind of differentiator, right? So is this, the HomePod mini is really equipped to work with the Matter of Smart Home Standard when that gets released in the fall, that may be a good point to release your HomePod that has some extensive smart home functionality that can really integrate with all of those new matter devices that are going to be out on the market. I mean, I'm certain it will, if the mini includes the Threads radio, obviously the HomePod will be able to serve as kind of your, what is it, your edge router for that much like the mini can. So will they really push the smart home functionality on that? I feel like that's an easier sell than audio quality because it seems like we're going headlong into the unified smart home at this point. Yeah, yeah. Well, moving gears, going back up into space for a second, Rich, the Raspberry Pi Zero was used as a flight computer on a satellite re-entering Earth's atmosphere back in May, which also completed a record 117 days in space. The satellite was the get away special passive altitude control satellite, I guess you could call it gas cast for short CubeSat, which was deployed from the International Space Station back in January. It was developed at Utah State University by students with the main objective being to test the experimental inflatable stabilization system called Aeroboom, which was designed to demonstrate small spacecraft can self-stabilize and orbit, which it in fact can. This is so like, I love all Raspberry Pi projects, but this is like a $7 stick gum size computer that can be used as a flight computer in these. What I want to see next is, I want to see like a space hardened version of this so they can use it in like really long range satellites that are really getting hit by cosmic rays and stuff like that, because I'm sure this is just an off the shelf Raspberry Pi that they're using for this. But that is the really exciting thing, right, is this is consumer level stuff. And hey, once you get up in that space station, that solves obviously all of the launch problems with your tiny little satellite for your college students or for your college researchers to develop. And again, when you expand that playing field, you make that hardware cost so inconsiderable for a capable little machine, that's all the right Raspberry Pi notes for me. And indeed, and shout out to all y'all over at Utah State University for developing this. It's good stuff. Speaking of things that are affordable, let's move over to the mail bag. Got one from Tim. Tim, this one is dear to my heart because I am a left handed person. I am a southpaw and so is Tim. Why do I know this? Well, here's Tim's email. He says, I have to share something recently I think should be addressed at some point. Left handed technology. As a lefty, I've used the Apple mouse.  Who puts a charging port on the bottom, et cetera. But my mouse went to tech heaven. I didn't have $80 to buy a new one. I didn't think my search would take longer but there's so many new mice designed for right handed people. The left handed mice were at a higher premium than regular mice. There used to be a time where you could just use them with any hand and pretty much were interchangeable but it's starting to focus on right handed because there's buttons on the side of the mouse and other designs that can't be translated to a left handed person. If you try to find a higher end mouse that it's ergonomically designed, minimal selection. Logitech makes left handed mice but not in the whole color gamut of the newest. Perfect example is the new M650 mouse. Comes in five colors. The left handed is only available in black though. Tim says, we face different issues with tech and I don't think it's a series but I hope you do a show on left handed tech at some point in the future. I know there are many out there who face slimmer issues. Apologize for the rant but I had to share with the fantastic tech people you are. Thank you, Tim. First of all, for the compliment and Tom Merritt who's not on the show with us today but saw Tim's email earlier said this is why I use a Logitech B100 wired mouse. I mouse left, I just gave up trying to find usable ergonomic mice. Yeah, that does think- Or mouses, whatever they are. But mice is allowable. I have to click some. I feel like that. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it does stink though because as awesome as it is, we're seeing the vertical mouse is a trend for that super ergonomic feel. I have the, what is it? The MX Master 3 Logitech mouse but that's like, is sculpted to a right hand, right? And the fact that, hey, we're having all these new comfortable ways to use a variety of computer inputs across the board. I don't wanna necessarily, like it's not an accessibility issue but I feel like Microsoft is doing such cool stuff with accessibility tech that I'm surprised that they are not more on the forefront with left-handed friendly or supported, just left-handed supported peripherals like that. We're always overlooked, Rich. We're always overlooked. Although if we play baseball, it's kind of works in our favor. Perhaps overvalued. Exactly.  And I went the trackpad route on laptops some time ago. I've got my trackpad, super trackpad, whatever the Apple trackpad is here. So I can, magic trackpad, thank you. And so I can put that wherever I wanted to. And I kind of go back and forth between the two hands, but I realized that for a lot of folks, this is a real issue, it is an accessibility issue. Or if you've got a hand that's not working all that well and you got to use the other hand type thing, there are a lot of reasons that I think Tim, points that Tim has brought up that I think, I think, yeah, we should do a left-handed show at some point, I don't know how many people will care. But the South paws out there, you know who you are. Be quite sinister. Indeed. We also, we've got good news today, everybody. We had kind of a slow week on the Patreon front last week, but guess what we got today? We have a brand new boss and that boss's name is Jeff. Jeff just started backing us on Patreon. So a big, big thank you to you, Jeff. This could be you tomorrow. You want your name on the show? Start backing us on Patreon.

This is Witchspace news, for Friday the 26th of June 2020, I'm CMDR Buur. In this weeks news, Frontier confirmed there's a patch in coming for the game next week, the East India Company makes some significant changes to their offering and there's a carrier visiting every sector of the galaxy. If you enjoy this video consider subscribing and also click the little bell icon to make sure you don't miss any of our future videos, that stuff really helps us smaller channels. Frontier hosted their regular Thursday night live stream last night which has continued despite the lockdown period with the various teams at Frontier all working from home. On the live stream new lead community manager Arthur Tolme introduced himself to the community and gave a little of his gaming background which includes a lot of elite dangerous on Xbox as well as first person shooters like Halo. As well as being a fan of properties like Star Wars and Star Trek Arthur is also a huge Warhammer fan this coupled with Arthur's significant community management experience adds yet another strong team member to the expanding team at Frontier supporting the game. In other Frontier news whilst the launch of carriers into the game generally appears to have been a huge success it has come with its fair share of bugs and glitches there's a couple of exploits doing the rounds at the moment that need sealing up annoyingly carriers don't hold on to their paint job when you've applied it and on occasions passengers on a carrier are getting left behind when the carrier jumps to name but a few. Whilst we don't yet know what issues specifically will be addressed in the next patch Stephen and Benedetti did confirm on last night's stream that the current plan is to introduce a new patch into the game next week it's likely we'll get the patch notes early next week with the patch dropping into the game very shortly afterwards. The player group the East India Company announced this week that they're making some changes to the services they offer. If you're unfamiliar with the East India Company they're a trading organisation that operates in a similar fashion to the fuel rats or the hull seals but instead of dealing in fuel or repairs they instead trade commodities that you might need to use to unlock engineers etc. Up until the release of carriers without having commanders across all platforms the East India Company were unable to offer their services to the consoles focusing instead on the PC however fleet carriers brought with them two important features a player owned commodity market and the ability to span all platforms at the same time regardless of who the owner is. Also with immediate effect the East India Company will no longer accept Imperial slaves as payment for their services instead now preferring the galaxy's new darling commodity of Tritium for the services rendered. They even now have a limited service in Colonia to assist with unlocking two engineers there to avail yourself of all that the EIC has to offer see the links in the description below. And finally Commander Piso Duroria announced on the frontier forums that they've challenged themselves to take their carrier to every single sector of the galaxy whilst not the only and certainly not the last commander to undertake something like this in a carrier I was particularly struck by the route map that the good commander is planning on using and the fact that they're also exploring to a degree when they reach each sector rather than tagging and moving on to follow the journey see the forum link below. That's it for now thanks very much for watching we'll be back later this week with more videos until then 07 commanders follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack we very much look forward to seeing you next time.
