Into tomorrow with Dave Graveline, the interactive program with the latest in high-tech products and services and the experts who bring them to you. This is Into Tomorrow. Here's Dave Graveline. You are in fact tuned into tomorrow. I'm Dave Graveline. I'm Chris Graveline. Are you sure? Yeah. Alright, I always have to check because the way you do, it's like you had to look it up and have a related birthday. Oh, thank you. Yeah, this is the show for the weekend of Friday, March 6th.

And yesterday, March 5th, I was 100 years old. Yep. I feel like it. I'm not quite that old. Almost 98. But thank you for the belated wishes. I can even hear Orozmo in the control room saying the same thing. Trying to sing happy birthday to me in Italian. Just give me the spaghetti. I'll be happy. There you go. And you know, this is our 31st year covering consumer tech, 31 years doing this. It's crazy. They haven't caught us yet. So I guess we'll keep going as much as we can. But I'm having to personally pay all the bills. That's really tough because I also don't have a retirement. You wouldn't know what to do in retirement. Well, I know. I would go stir crazy and then therefore, you know, but how's this? I've been practicing. Would you like fries with that? In case I have to do that. No, at least that would be a job that still involves a microphone for you. Of course. I couldn't do anything unless it involved a microphone.

Maybe I can be the MC at a strip club or something. Sure. Oh my god. Anyway, we've got, we'd like to thank always, but this week including a special show for you. A very busy, happy one for you. We've got an interesting guest coming up that Chris will tell you about. Maybe next segment because he likes to tease you. I do. And of course, a lot of tech news and commentary, you know, somebody told me the other day, if you and Chris ever stop doing commentary with your tech news, I wouldn't listen. And of course, I took personal offense to that. What do you mean? Well, I'd still listen, but I wouldn't be as happy because apparently y'all's commentary. That's what he said. Really makes the show. And I thanked him very much for saying that. So we have to keep doing commentary. Okay. All right. So go ahead, comment. I don't want to. Yeah. Then this guy's going to stop listening.

The Samsung Galaxy S26, people have been asking so what's happening with Samsung is slimmer, lighter and apparently loaded with upgrades. If you listen to their PR people, Samsung's new high end phone gets a subtle makeover as well as some improvements to the camera battery and display plus, are you ready for this? Who would have thunk it? Lots of AI. So stay tuned. We'll dig into it a little more when we can. And I mean, I've gone pixel after all the galaxies that I had and I'm quite happy with my pixels. Well, while we're on phone news, there's some Apple news because of course, there's a big trade show going on somewhere in the world, so Apple has to crash it with their own event. You notice Apple does three big events really a year, right at CES time, right at Mobile World Congress time, always and right at EFA time, yet they don't go to any of the three shows. No, they're never exhibiting at any of them or anything, but they draw the journalists

away from those shows because they figure, well, we're in town, you know, we might as it might as well get them while we can, because this week is of course, Mobile World Congress is going on right now. Barcelona, which is why there's so much mobile news this week. Yes. And of course, we used to attend Mobile World Congress free years, but I don't think we're there this week, aren't we? We're not there this week. But the news I'm talking about is Apple this week unveiled its newest budget phone, the iPhone 17 E, as in E. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Like last year, it starts at 599, that's 599, not $6, but you clarified that because you said it's a budget phone. Yeah. You said when the budget phones are $600, but it comes with 256 gig of base storage, which is double last year's model, the iPhone 16 E, which was only 128, right? Perhaps the biggest upgrade, the iPhone 17 E supports MagSafe, so now you can charge wirelessly faster and attach accessories like stands, wallets and cases. The iPhone 17 E has a 48 megapixel rear camera and with sensor cropping offers two times

magnification. Now, it's still weird to me talking about 48 megapixel camera because I remember when phones they had, they were touting, we've got a two megapixel camera and everybody was excited, especially you as the tech historian. And but now, yeah, looking back, it's like, really? Yeah. Now, our budget phone has 48 megapixel. Yes. God. But now the camera hardware may be similar to last year's, adding an A19 chip to the 17 E could boost image quality. It says could boost it or yeah, it's expected to boost it. Oh, I see. Now, the camera, there's also a 12 megapixel selfie camera, but no center stage camera. This is the feature that debuted on the iPhone Air and 17 lineup that can automatically switch between portrait and landscape orientation without having to rotate the phone. Oh, that's what they call center stage, which is not part of the 17 E, because can't get everything. It's budget. Yeah. Yes, you've got to still just rotate your phone if you want the landscape. Oh, no.

I know. Not that. Gee. At more mobile world, Congress news from Barcelona as things develop, so stay tuned. Because yeah, it is all about mobile or mobile, as some people say, especially in Europe, mobile. Yeah. But that reminds me of the stomach upset, right? Biol. Yeah. You just pretend you're from Alabama and say mobile. You could say mobile. Yeah. Oh my God. Oh, Amazon. I'm sure you know this because you follow them all the time, launched three, not one, not two, but three new personality styles for Alexa Plus. I'm sure you're excited. I'm thrilled. You've got to be excited because you have Alexa Plus being a primer. Yeah. It now gives you the option to choose between brief, chill, and sweet communication modes. Yeah. I have no idea what the three, how they're different, but apparently one's brief, one's

chill, one's sweet. Okay. So comes with chocolate or something. You can handle and toggle them, by the way, with the Alexa app or by voice command. Oh. Like I guess, do you have to say Alexa Plus? You just still say Alexa. Yeah. I don't spend money on that. But I think one of my favorite features of this Alexa Plus is that you can just continue conversations without having to, you know, say Alexa again, you can even interrupt while she's talking and she'll stop and listen. Well, what does that tell you? She's always listening. She's always listening. I know that. But you had to wake her up one time and then for the rest of your life, no, until you stop talking, but you know, you can just, oh, I never stopped talking because before you ask Alexa a question, she responds, you had to either wait for her to finish or interrupt her by saying Alexa, now you just interrupt her as if just like you like to do with me all the time. I beg your pardon? Yeah. I don't interrupt you. Exactly. But this is supposed to provide greater flexibility in how the AI assistant interacts with you.

And that's a good example of how? Hmm. Now if you have your radio or your podcast playing near an Alexa, if not, are you close enough to put it near your Alexa? I don't mean you because you're here in the studio. Okay. Now, if our audience has done that, ready, Alexa, play into tomorrow with Dave Graveline. Now tell me, whoever may have done that just now, did it start our current podcast? You're looking at me like I'm going to tick off a bunch of people. You're crazy. Yeah. Well, we know that. And I always say something's driving me crazy, but it's a short drive for me. Yeah. I haven't had that argument with AI, so you did a little while ago. We take your phone calls, by the way, and we want to hear from you. And we're about to tell you how 24 or 7 at your leisure, you can join us with any tech

question. Maybe you want to share some tech rage. Maybe you want to help another listener with a similar answer. You know, we can't, we don't have all the answers, but you might say, hey, in addition to what Dave and Chris told you, here's what I did with that problem. And see which works better. Yeah. Right? Yeah. You can participate in any which way. How though? By calling the Ask Dave hotline. Yeah. Yeah. Clear. Which is 800-899-4686. Oh, it spells something, no, too. Part of it. Part of it. INTO. INTO. INTO. Yeah. So it's 800-899-2. Okay. Or you can head over to our site and hit that Ask Dave microphone. Head into tomorrow.com. Oh, it's that easy. That easy. And then you win prizes. Yeah. Because if you're heard on the show, automatically you win stuff. Yeah. But you've got to be nice to Chris because he and his team send the stuff out. All right. Stay tuned.

Welcome back into tomorrow where I do my best to keep up with technology, and Chris does his best to keep me humble. Does it work? No. No. Well, but you do your best. Yeah. And that's what counts.

Just coming up in a few minutes. You made me panic. Oh, you should. Yeah. Where you'll be chatting. Well, I'm saying it to you, but you know because you already chatted with this gentleman. Are you sure? But I'm telling you, I'm not even... I'm not even doing it live. Oh, no. Maybe you are. Okay. Well, you'll be chatting with Dr. Garth Graham, head of YouTube Health. Oh! He's talking about how they help parents adjust their kid's screen time. So if you're a parent and you are, you need to hear this interview because it's pretty

cool. Maybe you're a grandparent. Maybe you want to be a parent. Maybe there's no parental thing at all involved. You still want to know about how to deal with screen time. Maybe you're a great grandparent. You know, it's okay to say now, right? It's okay to say now because she put it on Facebook. That's right. So it's out there. It's there. It's out there in the interwebs. So I can tell everybody, my granddaughter, Caitlin, long-time listeners will know that she was hosting Kid's Tech on Intuitomorrow for many years, a few years ago. Now she writes incredible articles for various fishing magazines and things. She's really into it as is her husband. But we found out weeks ago that she's pregnant, but she said, don't see anything yet. I don't know if she didn't want to jinx anything or whatever. Her last doctor visit said, everything's fine. And do you want to know the sex? And she said, yes. And she's going to have a, why do people always say, a baby girl?

She's not going to have a full grown toddler. But yes, she's having a girl. And I couldn't be more excited because this is my first great grandchild. And this is, I think all your grandchildren are great. Well, yeah. Yeah, that's true. I post something and say, now that's not an opinion. It would be lineage or, I don't know, whatever the heck it is. And she would be, well, you're already Uncle Chris to Caitlin. So you'd be a great uncle. Great uncle. Wow. You've always been a great uncle. Yeah. I was like, oh, how sweet. Yeah, very. But I found that terribly exciting. And I've been holding it close to my bosom for weeks now. And maybe I'll even post a couple of baby picks. Will you see her in Caitlin's tummy? And now we know it's her. And I can refer to her as, yeah, congratulations, Caitlin Kyle. Yes. And me to be, you didn't really have anything to do with it. But I'm, I'm Caitlin's grandfather.

And now the new baby, they haven't named yet or come up with a name yet as of the broadcast date. But they're working on it. They want something nautical for a girl. So anybody have a suggestion for a nice nautical name because they're big time into boating and fishing. And they figure as soon as the baby is old enough to get on the boat, then they're going to take her. Yeah. Although I was just thinking you could take credit for it because you can tell people you have just another person coming into the world because I got lucky. Holy cow, that's pushing it because I got lucky because you got lucky all these years ago. Yeah, well, that's true. So what you're saying is, not only would Caitlin not be around in that sense of the one we know, but not only and her and her child, but you also wouldn't be around her mother. Caitlin, that's also true, Beth, because Caitlin's not my daughter, she's, this is getting confusing. Yeah. I think you spent way too much time on this. Yeah. How about we go to Ralph? Oh, let's go to Ralph to save us.

Yeah. Because he typically does. But what if the iron you use for your clothes could iron on flexible, electronic devices, giving your clothing amazing capabilities? I think that would be amazing. Our science and technology news reporter Ralph Bond says that scientists at Virginia Tech have come up with something that could very well make this a reality. Hey, Ralph. Thanks, Dave. Science and technology news pick of the week comes from the American Chemical Society's website. It's all about how scientists at Virginia Tech have developed a new iron on electronic circuit patch made from liquid metal and a heat activated adhesive that will allow wearable electronics to be easily bonded to fabrics using an ordinary household iron, enabling flexible, durable and stretchable smart clothing applications. The patch combines microscopic droplets of a gallium-indium alloy with polyurethane, forming

a soft, conductive elastic sheet. Using a household iron, the smart electronic patches are applied onto fabrics where the polymer bonds strongly to fibers. Wow! To demonstrate the researchers applied a Virginia Tech logo illuminated by five LEDs on some fabric which stayed lit even when folded, twisted or stretched. And they even created an iron on microphone bonded to a shirt. Other possibilities include embedding health monitoring devices into clothing to track a patient's status. I'm Ralph Bond for Into Tomorrow, now, back to Dave and Chris. Okay, yet another cool report. Of course, my first question is, I think machine washable, because probably not. Oh. If I can't just throw out the washing machine, you know, I don't really want it. Well, I see. Or toss it in the lake and wash it with a rock. I'm not from the 1600s. I don't wash my clothes by hand. I'm glad you just washed your clothes, period. But I always like to stay lit. And he's mentioning that. But what about the different type? What about the microphone ironed on to a shirt?

Boy, they can save us some lavalier mics and other things. That's all you need is to be walking around all day, every day with a microphone and a touch gesture. I can go into, like, target and say, hi, we're live. What have you got to say? What are you shopping for? What's in your cart? Talk to me, won't you? Lean in to my chest and you see this microphone. That's covering you or catching you or he didn't say that they can iron on a camera yet. So we have to stick with radio, which is what we know best all these years. But I'm sure that'll be next. All right, Ralph. Can you have them send me a microphone shirt? And there's going to be no privacy concerns whatsoever. I'm sure that. I mean, why would there be? Jason in West Palm Beach, Florida, I assume, because that's right up to the street. You know who else lives there near Jason? Who? The president. Hey, Jason. Hello, Dave. Chris Cameron, too. I'm looking for a recommendation for an Android Auto compatible app that will provide

me some active audio alerts when I sort of accidentally exceed the speed limit. No, some apps show the current limit visually, but I want one that has alerts I can hear ideally with a set threshold so I can keep my eyes on the road. Do you have a favorite that balances accuracy and low distraction? My car doesn't have the heads up display like the one you mentioned last week on the show, the MDX. Yeah. Love it, though. My heads up display. I don't have to look at this. I don't even have to look at the radio because it tells me what's playing on my radio and of course directions if I'm using navigation all on the heads up display. The problem is if I extra focus on that, I don't stop in time and rare end the person in front of me. But Jason, that's a good question. I've reviewed a couple of radar detectors that do that and I've set the limit.

Like if I'm in a 40 mile per hour zone, I set the limit and it tells me 80 miles an hour, you're over speed and then I try to slow down. Yeah. Ironically, my audible alert for speeding is named Jason, it's just a different Jason because I keep your steps on. Yes, because I have ways up on the screen that you have ways to do what? Oh, navigation. Way to drive. And of course, it alerts you visually as you mentioned on your speeding. So I have Jason in the back seat, why are you speeding? Oh. So there's my audible alert. I'd shove a banana. So Jason, just get yourself a Jason. There you go. Now if you want a minimal app without too many disruptions, for example, you could look at something like the Velasa Raptor. That's how we say it. Velasa Raptor. Yeah. We'll just display a map, the speed limit and gives you an optional alert when you reach the speed limit, okay? Now you can also try maps, speed limits and alerts, which as you may have gathered from

the name, will show you maps, cash them for quicker retrieval if your signal is not great, and show you the speed limit and alert if you want to not go over it, all right? Both of those are nice and simple, not too much to distract you, not too many features you don't need. That's a problem with a lot of electronics, especially once you put in the car. Pretty much the simplest version of what you're looking for that you can get. And of course, keep in mind, anytime we recommend products or get specific, you can always visit us at intotomorrow.com, look for the show notes, in this case, the weekend of March 6th, and we have it all there for you, because others listening say, oh, I want that and maybe they're driving. And of course, you used to have, you know, for a much more expensive option, you used to have a directed device in your car. Yes. And the next message when you were speeding, not quite, I guess, the best alert to get while you're driving. No, another distraction in your phone. But I think there's, I think that's probably why I don't believe they do that anymore.

But back then, in the old days, if we said detects, and that was, I think, meant more towards like teenage drivers, you put in their cars so that the parent then gets the text alert, and you know, hey, so and so is speeding. And then you call them and say, slow it down, or something like that. But Jason, for a less simple version than Dave was talking about, ways, there you are, promoting ways again. You know, when you go over the speed limit, plus whatever tolerance you set for it. Now, ways is a Google property, though. So it comes with some of the usual Google distractions, so it could show you ads, that kind of thing. Other than that, it works well. And it will also alert you of nearby speed traps and hazards, if that's something you're interested in. Well, if you're concerned about speeding, you probably want to know about upcoming speed traps. Yeah. Although, I like Jason's attitude. It's like, because I want to slow down, you know, I'm getting, maybe you're getting carried away. We did a tech news item. I think it was last week about certain songs automatically make people speed more, because you're kind of getting into it, you know, you're staying lit, or whatever you're doing.

And that's a known fact, so you have to be careful. And maybe that's one of the things Jason's concerned about, or of course, get yourself a Jason. Yeah. And I've noticed a similar thing with audio books, I'm currently listening to an audio book in my car, me on my way to and from work. And I've noticed when I'm in more of a calm area of the story, I tend to drive slower and more easier. But then when it's like a tense, you know, edgy or seat part, I'm like, I'm like driving faster. Not good. Well, you also, of course, have the thing that have been in most cars for what, 20, 30 or more years, that you can just set your speed and let it go. But that doesn't always work if you're in stop and go traffic or not on an express way. It's everywhere in South Florida here is stop and go traffic, so I don't remember the last time I've used my cruise control. Yeah. But at least that's an option too. Yeah. Jason, let us know of what we suggested or stay tuned because we have the best listeners on the planet and others may call in with other advice. And not only will Jason win a prize for being heard on the show, but they will too.

You know kids and teens are spending more time online than ever if you're a parent you should know that with some saying they use social media sites almost constantly. The online habits have families focused on digital well-being and can leave many parents wondering how to cultivate a healthy online environment for their kids.

Well our next guest is a cardiologist researcher and public health expert he previously served in two U.S. administrations as U.S. deputy assistant secretary for health as quite the credentials behind him. He's the global head of YouTube health doctor Garth Graham Dr Graham welcome into tomorrow how are you sir I'm good thank you for having me today it's a pleasure to have you this is a very important topic and one that we try to cover as often as possible we hear from parents all the time what do we do and you know among other things you've got some great tips like something even as simple as how to build in timers and content controls which will certainly support some healthier digital habits long term I'm hoping yeah yeah and you know they healthy digital habits it's really the key I'm glad you said it that way because the goal is really to think through how we help children navigate with in the

digital world not from the digital world because so many of our kids nowadays are digital first or digital natives technologies a part of their everyday life and so we have to figure out we help them navigate that safely and to that point I think they're about to say there's two things that parents including myself as a parent you know we should always do one is this idea of setting boundaries within the context of a family plan so you know what are the kinds of things that make sense for you as a family and then what are some of the boundaries you want to send and that goes to some of the tools you're alluding today where you know parents can set well being reminders on YouTube you know take a break what you know bedtime reminders on YouTube for their teens and they also can limit the amount of short formed videos that their teen views through the the scroll feature so there's all these different kinds of tools around the boundaries that a parent wants to make and then the last thing I was going to say the second thing I was going

to say is age appropriate experiences you know a nine-year-old and a 12-year-old maybe different than a 15-year-old and you know how do you particularly on YouTube you want to go in set those settings to the age appropriate experience I'm sorry the age appropriate experience for your kid yeah so that they understand all they get exposed to the right kind of content very good point and I'm sure that you speak frequently to parents who I guess feel somewhat overwhelmed especially by the pace of technology because what you mentioned early on too is a lot of the kids know a whole lot more than we do you know I've had to ask my own grandson and I host a tech show for 31 years you know how do we do this why can't I make you know have access and he goes give it to me and he does and he's 13 you know and but that's been happening for years so again parents grandparents as well are overwhelmed what what can you say to them you know one of the things we've

heard that I wonder things we've done is trying to make these controls really simple kind of simple like how you even have you know like your your your Netflix account simple in terms of being able to toggle through experiences so now we've simplified the sign-up experience but also the ability to switch within kids within the same family world that because they've it is complicated I don't see it as a parent you know there's so many things going on at the same time you want these simplified experience and that's one of the things that we work on but the second thing I would say they've to your earlier point about you know navigating you know the time periods we grew up in versus the time periods that the kids are already kids are growing up in that that's where we get to take the concept of what are our values what's important what's the kinds of things we want you know the boundaries you want to set for them those things are a little bit more timeless and that we can utilize these tools to be able to set up those experiences and it's so the customized digital boundaries are not only available but make a lot of sense

yeah yeah yeah exactly and it's the other thing to they um is you know kids grow and so you want to based on your parent you know you as a parent to use a grandparents you're understanding of their development there's you know abilities to to to to process and handle things be able to change those boundaries based on what you think and your judgment so I think a lot of these things is just more about putting parents in control over their their kids experiences and I would imagine some of those parents that might have some frustration with the kids accepting what you're doing oh come on mom and dad I see a lot of stuff whatever yeah that's the problem is that you see a lot of stuff but giving that expert advice I guess maybe parents can also explain at the same time you know hey as you get older we've relaxed some of these restrictions or you know bed just like we can make bedtime a little later as long as your grades are good

you know so maybe that's a good way for parents to feel a bit of relief maybe yeah I agree you know um you know just being able to evolve um as your child evolves and your judgment of their you know ability to to to to to process and handle and how they're doing um that the technology I think I think that's that's important but the other thing I would say Dave um is we should try as parents to model the behavior um as much as we can um and you know I try to model good digital have his behavior um around my kids as well and so you know um a combination combination of it's important for us as companies to make it easier for parents and for parents utilizing tools and in a combination of parents also thinking through how do they model some of this behavior for their kids so in other words it's good to see your kids watching you put your phone down for a child right yeah and I think that's part of the problem because the kids are going to see

that you know they're just copying your behavior oh okay so we're all on our phone now it doesn't matter that it's a dinner time right right you know I'm glad you use a dinner example because that's uh that is is one where you know my kids or or influential in teaching me how to make sure that I was doing what I said uh right if there was a work call or something else you know yeah to the boundaries that I said for for them and for us so it's you know it goes both ways no it's oh very true but then again a parent still has to have that control and as you mentioned if it's a work thing you know what are you going to have as my child that's going to top that well it's a school friend thing no no no no no it's not that same so you really have to you know play along but also keep some restrictions and again mom, dad put the phone down yeah yeah yeah you know that's that's that's you know it's for you I love what you said because you you must have been at our house at dinner time

a couple of months ago I was the active debate we had and you know what I think what I think um is important is is I was important too for us to even have the conversation oh yeah um and it's important for us to um to understand what our kids ecosystem looks like um as we go through these so it was I it was in you said a point about friends being as important as work and I think my son thought that so I was like oh that's interesting yes I'm putting this food on your table by my work and you think your friends are doing that no no no no no there are priorities right and of course I would guess with the all the advances in tech I mean that we've been covering for so many years I'm assuming now is a good time to talk about that digital well being with your kids so because there's no better time make it happen that's exactly right so good time you know there's there's a lot of things that our kids can learn from talking about my son you know

he spends a lot of time learning algebra through algebra videos and you know other you know learning a lot about the math the math world good um and so there's a lot of things out there that weren't you know available necessarily during um over over times that's available now so we want our kids to be able to experience that um but in a safe way uh for sure boy I could talk to you all day Garth because you have but first of all you and I see I'd I and that's helpful but also there's so much more to talk about I hope we can get you back on again in the near future uh of course love it dr.

this early electric razor did not meet widespread acceptance why not probably first of all that was really big and really awkward looking and it's like you want me to put that on my face yeah and turn it on yeah yeah in 1958 this week the US Navy launched the Vanguard one satellite it was the first solar powered satellite and was used to measure the shape of earth although communication with the satellite was lost in 1964 it remains the oldest man-made object still in orbit together with the upper stage of its launch vehicle even longer than Voyager yeah which is still out there and sending back gobbledygook but sometimes it's still working I know it hasn't worked since 64 yeah that 60 power I only know what happened there wow you went to South Carolina for a minute okay um in 1994 Apple computer introduced the power Macintosh the machine featured a 60 megahertz power PC 601 processor eight or 16 megabytes of RAM well take your pick which wasn't well they had two

models got you right and a 160 or 250 megabyte hard drive that's MB megabytes not even gigabytes wow and this was in a compact desktop case of course yes in 1985 this week symbolics computer corporation based in Massachusetts registered symbolics dot com the first internet domain name before there was even an internet as we know it and the internet on computers now and this week in 2008 Airbus is a 380 the world's biggest passenger plane touched down in London on its first commercial flight in Europe that's our look back this week in tech history that's pretty cool I must say yeah the US Pentagon approved Elon Musk's GROC AI for classified military operations while threatening and thropic with penalties for using or rather for refusing to remove ethical safeguards from its clawed AI I won't get this chat GPT agreed I'm sure with the move yeah but it wasn't

to use them it was to use GROC so and when I can tell you more about the book I'm writing about AI I've never written the book so this is certainly an experience then we'll learn some additional stuff here because I'm using a bunch of different I've used GROC and chat GPT and and and clawed and what's what's the Microsoft one co-pilot and off too many but that's I'm good I'm writing all about that and I hope that folks will be able to buy the book because I need the income yeah well are you gonna release an audio book of course you gotta gotta do that especially for some of our listeners it's the only way they could read it well that's that's the only way I read but I don't have time to sit and read a book let's try listen to them in the car all so you'll buy my audio book and listen on your way to a from work yes so that's a commitment now we have it on the show you're gonna buy my audio I'll play it in the car I don't know how much I'll

actually out for a walk with Michelle the other day yeah and you know I don't know how this started on the job and I told her it was like you know what at least you know that if we decided to go take a walk in the woods and a bear showed up I said you would be safe because I can't run even if there's a bear chasing me so the bear would probably eat me and then you can well you would offer yourself to your fiancee I don't know if myself is tribute to the bear yeah yeah and just say name one of the boys after me here's home yeah rename right I'm sure you would have done that would you not have yeah okay meta own Instagram has started to alert parents if their teenage child uses the app to search for content related to suicide or self harm good yeah good on meta for change meta said that parents who use Instagram's supervision tools will then get a message either via email text or WhatsApp as well as through an in-app notification if a teen repeatedly searches for certain terms related to self harm or suicide within a short period of time I mean if they want

to look something up for a friend or they want to offer some advice or they heard something at school you know then it's not going to alert right away because if they but if they are searching multiple times or items related to any of those those things they're going to let a parent know and thank you for that I mean it's about time I mean and it's sad that that has to be a thing yeah it is sad that's that that's terrible but because there's way too many especially teens that are hurting themselves or or unfortunately killing themselves whether it be bullying or any number of things that anything that a parent can do to help your child you should do yeah this is one Paramount Skydance plans to combine Paramount Plus and HBO Max into a single streaming service yeah the completion of its merger with Warner Brothers Discovery netflix backed out yeah they went too rich for my blood right they did whoa yeah and they they pay for that to

dumb and that was it I think that was the sound they made as they backed out the door there yeah what was yes CEO David Ellison confirmed the plan on an investor call this week saying the combined platform would serve over 200 million subscribers and position the company to compete with the biggest players in the streaming space also unclear is what the new combined app would cost subscribers the last year has seen nearly across the board increases in the cost of streaming services including HBO Max the combined entity is expected to carry roughly 79 billion dollars in net debt according to Reuters and could be considered the largest leveraged buyout in history geez well they're on the road for that they're on track for that the interesting thing though is you know I'm also in the screen actors guild in the American Federation of Television and Radio artists at a mouthful anyway Sag after and one of the concerns from a lot of actors is that if netflix took over it could be the end of movies as we know them yeah and all movie theaters would be closing and because

the netflix would just stream everything yeah I saw a quick video clip you know recently of an interview that you know Morgan Freeman was doing on some morning show somewhere love him as voice yeah and and they asked him you know how he's handling you know this this AI and and people coming out with these voice you know mimicking him yeah and he just had probably the best simple short response I've heard anybody say he goes I have a lot of lawyers yeah but you know public domain kinds of things or if it's a parody you can get away with it and most of the things you see on tiktok and and other you know anti social platforms are parodies of things not everything right but a lot of war and it's like hey it's a parody I'm protected just make it a parody and you'll be fine yeah you know and I'm not you know usually a big you know union guy but I do like a lot of the things that like the sag after and similar unions are doing to protect the artist because you know yeah these people you know have tons and tons of money but they work for that

for their money yeah of course you know and and they don't want to have AI come in duplicate their likeness and not be compensated for and that reminds me if it's available I think until the end of March so if you have Netflix and you want to have an interesting show watch the actor awards which is what the new name is for the sag after awards that I vote on every year as well you're gonna see an interesting show wasn't political that impressed me I don't know whether they warn people or they just let's not do that you know the Oscars and the MMEs and all these others do it let's not do that so it wasn't political I was very thankful for that but the tribute for Harrison Ford for lifetime achievement he was hysterical and I love one of his lines I only saw bits and pieces of this many where he talks about I got a prize for being alive yes exactly and I don't understand why they're giving me a lifetime achievement award when I'm only halfway through my

career I mean the guy's 80 something right but he was like in tears you know yes oh man was everyone in the room transfixed on him they kept you know as they do they they take shots of all the actors and the audience and all he had their attention without a doubt but you've got to see the whole thing and it's toward the end at which would be typical for lifetime achievement but try to check that out Netflix and it's the actors awards they said it's available only until I think March 28th so if you get a chance zip through it if you don't really care who won for what the centers was a big winner imagine that yeah I mean I'm not usually you know big on a bunch of rich people sitting around patting each other on the back but in this case at least zip ahead and look at the at who did I just say Harrison Ford I was gonna first one reason I was gonna say Richard Dawson what okay anyway Harrison Ford yeah he that was amazing his speech his acceptance it was it almost drew a tear from me and you'll see what I mean but it was good it was

really good so what do you want to do now oh say goodbye to everyone until next week until next week oh my goodness well we'll see you in two tomorrow dot com bringing you the latest in consumer electronics and technology this has been in two tomorrow with Dave Grave live to participate with Dave and his tech geniuses and win prizes anytime 24-7 call 1-800-899 into that's 1-800-899-4686 be sure to visit our website anytime to read our show notes and watch our IT TV videos at intutamaro.com and join us next week as we bring you further intutamaro in today's connected world high speed internet is a necessity luckily where you live no longer means missing out on a fast connection do what we did and get Hughes net America's number one choice for satellite internet Hughes net Gen 5 delivers the speed you need where you live own a business Hughes net has plans for you to text radio to 35,000 for offers in your area
