    "text": "Or do you simply desire a deeper and more meaningful connection?\nIt's Arizona's computer guru, Mike Swanson, and his show starts now.\nCall in with your questions and riddles.\nThe number is 520-790-2040.\nKVOI, The Voice.\nHello and welcome to the Computer Guru Show.\nMy name is Mike, here to deal with your technology needs and treat you like a person in the process.\n790-2040.\nThat's 520-790-2040 if you want to be part of the show.\nThis is your free tech support for the weekend.\nAll you got to do is give us a call, let us know what's going on, and we can help you out.\nI've got Rob here.\nI am here this week.\nTara is MIA.\nShe's out of here.\nSeems like I'm always covering for her.\nAlways.\nYeah.\nApparently she just doesn't know when to show up to the show.\nNo, it's just coincidence.\nShe's not here and I am.\nYep.\nShe's, uh, what's she doing?\nShe's, like, on a beach somewhere sipping Mai Tais, something like that.\nMan.\nMust be nice.\nShe's probably listening right now and laughing because she's not here.\nYep.\nShe's probably just being like, man, look at all this sand and not 117 degree weather that I'm experiencing.\nYeah.\nLet's just say that, uh, here in Tucson, we need to spend this weekend indoors.\nYeah.\nYou're not supposed to talk about the weather on radio, but holy moly, it's hot.\nIt's not weather anymore.\nThat's like a hazard.\nIt's some sort of, there's a natural disaster created by the sun happening here this weekend.\nIt's, uh, it is unpleasant.\nI have to go buy some sunscreen or something today.\nLike at some point in the future, they're going to show clips from this weekend in IMAX theaters with Kevin Bacon talking over it.\nI saw some picture.\nUh, I don't know where it was.\nI don't know where it was at, but apparently they made their light posts on a pier out of some type of plastic and they were just all melted and leaning over.\nYeah.\nI've seen, uh, I've seen like pictures where it's like, you know, you're in Arizona when, and it's just a dumpster that is melted.\nIt's like a puddle.\nPretty, pretty warm.\nAll right.\n790-2040 if you want to be part of the show.\nUh, let's take a moment to mention net neutrality.\nYeah.\nAnd, and for once it might be like a good.\nGood conversation.\nYeah.\nBecause normally when I talk about net neutrality, it's me.\nThere's scorn and, and fury and just come on.\nUh, but, uh, maybe some good news potentially in the net neutrality world.\nThe, uh, the internet services are now classified as a utility.\nYeah.\nAnd that's, that's what we've been trying to get done for quite a while now.\nRight.\nSo we, I did a bunch of rants on, uh, net neutrality.\nWe'll probably throw one up in the.\nThere's already one up there.\nRants in the YouTube section.\nUm, which Rob manages that.\nSo, uh, you know, golf clap to Rob for, you know, making sure that the, uh, the, uh, YouTube\nchannel is, is doing what it's supposed to be doing.\nBy the way, if you have an opportunity to go over there and subscribe to us, cause it\nhelps us out.\nThen you get to hear, uh, Mike's, you know, furious rants about net neutrality and other\nstuff.\nYeah.\nYou know, and I listened to the Verizon one and, um, that was the second Verizon rant\nthat I've had.\nWe got to go find the first one.\nCause that's like season four or something.\nWe're gonna have to go dig that up.\nThat one is where I just exploded on air.\nIt's really not, not cool.\nUh, we'll have to find one of those.\nUm, but yeah, the net neutrality one from, uh, last season, last year is up there right\nnow.\nSo go check it out on our YouTube channel.\nRight.\nThen you can get sort of a background on what net neutrality is or is not, uh, at least\nfrom the perspective of people in technology.\nUh, I, there was a whole bunch of political spin.\nOn it, uh, when it was actually happening.\nOh, and then, uh, that reminds me just to preview for you guys.\nNext, next, the next excerpt that we're putting on YouTube is a throwback to act.\nI remember act.\nYeah.\nIt's you talking about act in 2010.\nOh, I think it was more vitriolic, but in 2010, it's a good one.\nSo that was a little more angry.\nI'm trying to, I'm trying to give some color, you know, to the net neutrality stuff that\nwe talk about.\nSo that's why I've been picking a few of those types of rants to put on there.\nRight on.\nYeah.\nYeah.\nYeah.\nCheck out the YouTube channel.\nYou can listen to the net neutrality rant, but now it is finally classified as utility,\nwhich is, uh, which is great because it allows for, uh, well, I guess the bigger, better\nway of putting it is, is it disallows for the ISPs to prioritize packets based on pay.\nYeah.\nAnd it makes it to where everyone has equal access to internet the same way that people\nhave access to indoor plumbing and electricity and, you know, those types of things.\nRight.\nUm, and that's a, that's a good thing in my opinion.\nNow, the, the, of course with, as with everything, there are some drawbacks to it.\nUm, but, uh, for right now, I'm pretty happy with the outcome and perhaps in a couple of\nepisodes, maybe two weeks from now, we can talk a little bit more about what that really\nmeans and explore the pros and the cons of net neutrality because it isn't a one-sided\nissue.\nIt's not like the encryption debate, which is very, very one-sided.\nUh, it's, it's very much a, well, you know, there are some, some drawbacks to it.\nAnd yeah, I mean, like you're saying, uh, it's very politicized, but there really are\na couple of things that, I mean, the other side makes good points on, on a couple of\nthings.\nOverall, though, net neutrality, I think will be a benefit.\nThat's the goal.\nLet's go ahead and talk to Dave.\nHello, Dave.\nHow are you?\nOkay.\nUm, I have a Windows 7 desktop and when I hit the button that says check for updates,\nit just looks for updates and never, never gets anything done.\nOkay.\nAnd then I went to the troubleshooting computer problems.\nOkay.\nAnd it's got a button that says fix problems with Windows update.\nAnd that just goes out there and never does it.\nIt looks for stuff on the internet and it just keeps, you know, scrolling or whatever\nand it never finishes.\nDo you have the little Windows 10 update logo down in the lower right-hand corner?\nI, I knew you'd say that first answer, but is there a possibility that I can fix the\nWindows 7 or is it, you're just going to make me go to 10?\nNo, what I'm saying is that the reason you're not getting updates is because it's waiting\nfor the 10 because that's installed.\nWell, the end, what I mean is waiting for the 10.\nSo if you have the little flag icon down by your clock, that, that's like.\nWell, I have a little thing down there that says get Windows 10.\nRight.\nAll other updates are paused until you decide on that one.\nIt's basically saying you're going to get Windows 10 anyway, so there's no point in\ninstalling these other upgrades.\nSo what do I have to do then?\nSo you either uninstall the 303 update that we've talked about in previous episodes.\nOkay.\nI don't know what that is, but.\nOkay.\nSo if you go to the Windows 10, you're going to get Windows 10.\nIf you go to add and remove programs, there is a button on the left where you can choose\nto view installed updates.\nRight.\nOne of them is KB303, I think.\nYeah, it's 303 something.\nIt's the only 303 update that you'll have.\nAnd if you uninstall that, that makes the Windows 10 upgrade icon go away and your updates\nwill resume as normal.\nBut just know that as soon as you update, that 303 is going to go away.\nIt's coming back.\nSo you'll get one round of updates, and then it's going to be like, hey, it's time to get\nWindows 10.\nSo they're making it harder for us to do this, is what you're saying.\nThey do not at all want you in Windows 7 anymore.\nWell, for a guy who's been using the Windows menu ever since Windows came out, what's the\nbad stuff about going to 10?\nBecause I'm used to Windows 7 and its previous versions.\nSo...\nThere's not a huge difference.\nThere's not a huge difference between 7 and 10.\nBecause for an old guy like me who's been using 7 and it's, like I say, forever, is it going\nto be a big difference?\nNo.\nNo.\nThe difference is relatively minor.\nNow, it's not like going to Windows 8, which was a huge change for the interface.\nRight.\nSo I think they heard a little bit of the feedback there and decided that they'll go\nback to an interface that's more similar to 7.\nAnd I think that's a lot of the confusion that people have, and that's why they don't\nwant to go to 10.\nThat's because they think it's Windows 10.\nIt's Windows 8.\nBut it's not.\nWell, will all my programs still work on 10, or is there something that's not going to\nwork?\nAs with any upgrade, there is the opportunity for things to not work.\nRight.\nBut I have not seen any problems that I have found to be...\nI haven't found any insurmountable problems.\nOkay.\nAll the software that I've run across so far, we've either been able to make it work, or\nit might require an update of some type.\nOkay.\nBut don't fear that part of it.\nThe only thing that you really have to fear is, as usual with all versions of Windows\nfor upgrades, is scanners and printers.\nRight.\nSo if you have a really old printer or a really old scanner, it's very likely that those won't\nwork.\nBut there will be a new driver out there somewhere to make it work?\nSometimes.\nSometimes.\nRight.\nA lot of times, though, whenever you do major Windows version updates, you get a new printer\nis how that works.\nRight.\nRight.\nSo if I have all my internet stuff, that'll still all work.\nAll that stuff's going to work.\nOkay.\nYeah.\nSo don't sweat that part a whole lot.\nWell, like I say, I've feared the unknown for too long.\nMaybe I should go to 10.\nWell, you don't have a choice.\nYou're going to 10 whether you like it or not.\nYeah.\nSo, I mean, you can delay it for right now.\nYou can uninstall that 303 update, get the latest round of critical updates, but it's\ngoing to push you into 10.\nAnd by the end of July, that's the deadline.\nThey're going to keep pushing harder.\nIt's going to get harder and harder until that point.\nNow, if you decide to hold out past the end of July, so let's say that August 1st shows\nup and you have not upgraded to 10, that upgrade window goes away.\nYou'll start getting regular critical updates, but you'll no longer get optional updates\nof any type.\nAnd you get to stay.\nYou get to hang out in Windows 7 for as long as you like.\nBut just know that the opportunity to upgrade for free ends at the end of July.\nRight.\nOkay.\nWell, I guess I have to think about that.\nWhat do I want to do here then?\nAll right.\nWell, thanks for the call, Dave.\nWell, thank you.\nHave a nice day.\nBye.\nLet's take a moment to mention our sponsor.\nThat would be Perfection Auto Works.\nYou can go to their website.\nIt's new.\nPerfectionAutoWorks.com.\nWell, is it still new?\nWe've been saying that for six months.\nWell, I mean, based on how long they had their old site.\nYeah, it's new.\nIt's still new.\nPerfectionAutoWorks.com.\nGo check it out.\nGet your 26-point inspection for free.\nI'm sure that your car will love you for it, especially right now.\nYeah, assuming that your tires don't literally melt off of your car.\nTake it down to Perfection Auto Works.\nThe temperature is too darn high.\nIt's hot.\nHoly moly.",

    "text": "Let's go ahead and talk to Charles.\nHello, Charles.\nHello.\nBoy, I love that Batman spot with Kazachik in the trunk.\nWhat?\nOh, yeah, during the commercial break?\nYeah.\nAnyway, I still laugh.\nI'm looking for a machine.\nI'm not saying this to irritate you.\nI'm looking for a machine that runs XP because I don't...\nI like the way it's far more user-friendly than Windows 7,\nwhich I just spent $200 getting my computer back from service fixing.\nAnd I'm betting that an XP machine will be cheap to buy if I could find one.\nIt's not going on the Internet, so I'm not worried about all the vulnerabilities on it.\nAnd it's going to be used almost solely...\nIt's going to be used solely for production in Adobe Audition for things actually just\nlike that Batman spot, which was made on an XP machine.\nOkay.\nSo can you direct me to a place?\nOr do you have one that's like sitting in the back with dust on it?\nI was going to say, you might start checking like dumpsters and those kinds of things.\nDoorstops.\nWell, there's always the swap shop, but I mean, you know, which I may do.\nBut the point of the matter is, is that I'm looking for...\nOne that maybe you used as a test bed for something, or it's been sitting indoors, not outdoors.\nYou know, because it's expired technology.\nI get it.\nBut I like...\nOr is there a way to make Windows 7 work and look more like XP so that it's more user-friendly?\nI mean, for instance, you go to save something in Word and you have to save it to your computer.\nIt won't even let you open it without saving it first to your computer.\nThere's dumb stuff like that in 7 that was never true in XP.\nActually, that's still true.\nThat's always true.\nThe whole, you know, you can't open something unless it exists.\nSo it does save it to your computer first before it opens it.\nOh, it just did it in the background before.\nIt puts it in a temp folder.\nAnd 7 does the same thing.\nSo there's...\nI think there's a whole lot of like, we should just sit down sometime and I can just show you that it works the way that XP does.\nThe only difference is they added a security layer that doesn't allow you to save to the root.\nRight?\nSo...\nBut for the most part...\nXP and 7 are very, very similar.\nOkay.\nWell, but the thing about it is if I have a machine, if I buy a machine that has expired technology, it costs a lot less.\nI like to buy the things that other people don't want.\nThat was probably true maybe five years ago.\nBut right now there's a premium on XP machines because if you're buying an XP machine, it's because you need an XP machine.\nAnd they know it.\nHowever, they are available out there on like eBay.\nCraigslist.\nCraigslist.\nI wouldn't...\nI don't like buying computers off Craigslist, but eBay is okay.\nI like buying it from somebody I know, like, and trust, like yourself.\nAnd so if you've got one or someone you know of that you trust that has machines like that, I'd be open to that.\nYou know, because I'm...\nI'd much rather buy that locally than...\nAnd again, from somebody that I know, like, and trust.\nI know somebody has a good...\nYou'll have to call the office down at 304-8300 because I don't keep track of the old machine inventory.\nRight.\nI'm out fixing things.\nRight.\nBut, you know, you can talk to Howard or Carl and they can let you know what they've got there.\nYou could also potentially explore an XP virtual machine.\nRight.\nYou could virtualize a machine.\nOkay.\nRight.\nBut basically, I want a computer that's kept off the Internet.\nIt's just used for mostly one purpose, making radio commercials.\nAnd, you know, and then the sneaker drive.\nTake the USB thing and stick it in.\nTake it in the other machine and archive it.\nSo that...\nAnd that's the machine that gets on the Internet.\nThat, I have, you know, the most current stuff on.\nRight.\nSo you could do something similar with, like, if you have a nice newer computer.\nYeah.\nYou could virtualize a copy of XP that would be its own standalone machine inside the other one,\nwhich doesn't get on the Internet.\nAnd you guys would be willing to build one of those for me?\nOf course.\nOkay.\nMaybe we should talk.\nOf course we should talk.\nI don't know where you took your computer to get it fixed before, but I'm offended.\nWell, somebody who has, who about six generations ago had the computer show on the station.\nOh, okay.\nIt's a trusted guy.\nAll right.\nYou want me to say his name?\nI don't care.\nGo for it, Todd.\nDave Mason.\nOh.\nYeah, I like Dave.\nDave is a friend, and so, and I've done business with him for years, so I just, and again,\nI know, like, and trust him.\nTell Dave to give me a call sometime.\nAnd give the shop a call.\nThey can get you set up with a virtual machine.\nYeah.\nI will.\nAll right.\nThanks for the call, Charles.\nThat's what I should.\nYou do a wonderful show.\nYou should expand it.\nI should, huh?\nYeah, you should.\nYou should really think about it.\nI might.\nI'll think about it.\nI'll let you know.\nAll right.\nSee you.\nBye.\nBye.\nDo you want to take this other call?\nYeah, let's go ahead and take it.\nLet's go ahead and talk to Tom.\nHello, Tom.\nHow are you?\nHi.\nThanks for taking my call.\nHey, I'm getting ready to upgrade to 10, and I'm looking at my uninstall a change program\narea.\nRight.\nThere's a couple programs I wanted to ask you about, if I should remove them before\nI do that.\nAll right.\nYes.\nOkay.\nHow about like Pulse Secure Setup Client?\nI don't think that'll matter.\nDo you know what that is?\nNot off the top of my head, no.\nBut I haven't heard anything about anything like that.\nThe stuff that's important is, do you have the NVIDIA Experience software installed?\nNo.\nNo.\nIt basically comes down to antivirus and NVIDIA software and things like firewalls.\nDoes the ATI equivalent make any difference?\nYeah.\nI would pull that off, too.\nCrossfire, all that.\nYeah.\nSo if you have ATI software on there for your video card, anything that's video card related,\njust pull it.\nOkay.\nHow about Malwarebytes?\nMalwarebytes can stay.\nOkay.\nAnd Google Chrome and-\nYeah.\nThat's all fine.\nChromecraft.\nOkay.\nGreat.\nYeah.\nMostly the stuff that we're concerned about is if it directly interfaces with hardware,\nlike antivirus directly interfaces with your network card, and your video software directly\ninterfaces with your video card.\nYeah.\nSo we're looking for things that directly interface with hardware that should be removed.\nThat way, when it does the upgrade, it finds the proper versions, puts them on itself during\nthe upgrade, and then you can reinstall whatever you took off.\nSo my printer driver then, take that off?\nNow most printer drivers are not a problem.\nWhat kind of printer do you have?\nHP.\nYeah.\nHPs aren't going to be an issue.\nWe've seen some issues with Epson's, because the Epson's are ... Those are some crazy drivers\nthey put on those things.\nBut the HP ones seem to be fine.\nOkay.\nGreat.\nThanks a lot.\nAll right.\nThanks for the call, Tom.\nYeah.\nJust be careful when you're doing your upgrade.\nYou know, I can't wait until it's like a year from now and Windows 10 has been embraced\nand everybody's fine with it again.\nYeah.\nWell, this is the last version, according to Microsoft.\nYeah.\nIt's the final version.\nAll right.\nAnd people have been asking me that, and I guess we should probably cover it.\nThey're like, so I'll just wait for the next one.\nI'm like, there is no next one.\nYeah.\nI mean, in a manner of speaking.\nTen years from now, it's going to be way different than Windows 10.\nRight.\nBut they're going the Mac route, which is sort of the evolution of a singular platform.\nI hope they give them better names than Mac does, though.\nYeah.\nI don't know.\nEl Capitan and Yosemite.\nWell, the new one is called Sierra.\nSierra.\nWhich is kind of a nice name.\nThat's not bad, I guess.\nYeah.\nBut Snow Leopard?\nCome on.\nAnyway, so there is no next version, in a manner of speaking.\nYeah.\nSo, just like Mac OS X, which came out 12 years ago, is still sort of the thing, even\nthough they refuse to call it OS X now.\nYeah.\nIt's been effectively a slow, gradual, minor upgrade process over the number of years.\nAnd that's what Microsoft is planning to do now, is that they're going to get everybody\non 10.\nYeah.\nAnd then they're going to do like, you know, 10 point whatever.\nRight?\nThere should not be an 11 in the future.\nAnd ultimately, you know, I know that a lot of people are hostile to the Windows 10 upgrade,\nand it's kind of, you know, it's bad how they're forcing it on people.\nBut it's because of security concerns.\nYou know, 7 is very old at this point.\nYep.\nEverybody's like, but I love me some 7.\nOr in Charles' case, I love me some XP.\nI can't wait until there's some guy who calls in and is like, I'm trying to run a Windows\n3 machine.\nI need a machine that only runs DOS.\nWe've got to get it.\nWe had one of those that came into the shop recently where the newest software he could\nrun on there was 98.\nI think I remember that because I really wanted to, I was like, can we just take an extra\nday so I can put Doom 98 on this and play it?\nThe techs were like, no, go away.\nAnd see, this is one of those problems.\nWe tell people, you don't do the bleeding edge upgrades.\nDon't do the like, upgrade immediately as soon as it's out there because you're going\nto hurt yourself.\nRight?\nSo at the same time, if you wait too long, if you get to the point where Windows XP is\nstill on your machine and it's been completely unserviceable by Microsoft for seven years,\nyou've painted yourself into an upgrade corner.\nYou can't upgrade at that point.\nSo before your upgrade ability expires, you should upgrade.\nNot to mention that the upgrade shock that people get where they're like, Windows 10\nis just so much different.\nThat happens because you don't upgrade.\nIf you're on XP and then you jump to Windows 10, yeah, it's way different.\nRight.\nIt's a huge difference if you're going from XP.\nHowever, if you did like most of us did, which is you went to seven, then you went to eight,\nand then you went back to seven, then you went to 10, yeah, it's not that big of a deal.\nYou forgot Vista and that whole thing.\nWe shall not name it.\nWe don't speak that name here.\nThere's two operating systems we don't say, Vista and Millennium.\nYeah, I was going to say.\nYeah, those don't exist.\nYeah.\nThere's just terrible, terrible pieces of software.\nOh, that's just gross.\nI can't believe you mentioned that on the show.\nVista made us appreciate seven even more.\nIs that what it is?\nYeah.\nGive us a call, 790-2040.",

    "text": "My name's Mike, here to deal with your technology needs and treat you like a person in the process.\n790-2040 if you want to be a part of the show.\nWhat do you think?\nCalls first or?\nYeah, I might as well.\nYeah.\nAll right.\nLet's go ahead and talk to Dave.\nHey, Dave.\nHow are you?\nOkay.\nHow are you?\nLovely.\nWell, a few months ago or like three months ago or so, I upgraded from 8.1 to 1.2.\nI'm using Windows 10.\nOkay.\nAnd it is awful.\nHow so?\nEverything is so unbelievably slow.\nI click onto a browser window, it takes like a minute or two to even open it.\nIt just sits there and you look at the screen, nothing happens.\nWhich antivirus do you have on there?\nMy browser's always crashing, everything.\nWhat's that?\nWhich antivirus do you have on there?\nKaspersky.\nOkay.\nThat's your answer.\nSo you upgraded with the antivirus on there already.\nYeah.\nI have that already I imagine.\nNot to mention that first of all, don't upgrade with your antivirus installed because it causes\nmajor problems.\nI got it uninstalled before the upgrade.\nSecondly.\nOh, I did that.\nI did that.\nSecondly, Kaspersky.\nBecause it says that on the install.\nYou have to disable it.\nSo I disabled it.\nI upgraded it and then I re-enabled it.\nThis is not disable.\nThis is uninstall.\nLike take it completely off the computer before you upgrade.\nNow, second part of this.\nKaspersky is a dog.\nOkay.\nIt's a great antivirus, don't get me wrong.\nIt's a fantastic antivirus.\nBut it makes everything slow.\nNow, I think that yours is mostly slow because it got broken during the upgrade.\nSo if you were to completely uninstall Kaspersky, use a utility like Revo or something to help you uninstall that.\nAnd then reinstall Kaspersky, it will probably be considerably better.\nSecond, what kind of machine is this?\nIt's a Toshiba.\nHow old is it?\nLaptop, two years old.\nLike two? Okay.\nSo if it is less than two years old or less than three years old, then you should be fine as far as hard drive and all of that is concerned.\nSo I'd imagine completely uninstall any antivirus apps that you have.\nAnd here's the reason why it jacks things up.\nWhen you do the upgrade, Windows is sort of blind to your antivirus setup.\nSo it assumes that it needs to enable its built-in antivirus.\nIt's called Defender.\nDefender.\nOkay.\nAnd so whenever you have two antiviruses on a machine, oh, believe me, they don't get along.\nAnd so everything gets very, very slow.\nSo uninstall the antivirus.\nAnd when you do that, it's going to say, hey, guess what?\nWe've turned on Defender.\nDefender's all happy.\nEverything's great.\nThen you install Kaspersky, and Kaspersky will disable Defender.\nAnd everything should be better.\nOkay.\nNow, you could choose a lighter antivirus.\nWe don't particularly care for the sort of heavy, slow, basically the antiviruses that you have to pay for that just slow your machine down.\nSo you could pick something lighter if you want.\nBut if you're happy with Kaspersky and that's what you want to use, then by all means continue to do so.\nBut use something like Revo to utterly annihilate Kaspersky off the machine.\nOkay.\nOkay.\nYeah.\nWell, we have Kaspersky on all of our.\nSo we got like a.\nYeah, everybody usually gets the home pack, and they put it on everything.\nYou will notice a dramatic difference in speed just by uninstalling Kaspersky.\nOkay.\nSo give that a shot and let me know.\nThank you.\nAll right.\nAll right.\nLet's go ahead and talk to Tom.\nTom, how are you?\nHi.\nHey.\nI got a question regarding viruses upgrading to 10 virus protectors.\nYep.\nWhat about Microsoft Security Essentials?\nAll antivirus.\nIf it's antivirus, uninstall it.\nOkay.\nSo uninstall it.\nUninstall Microsoft Security Essentials.\nYep.\nBecause Essentials is actually a dead product as of Windows 7.\nIt's the last version it works on.\nUh-huh.\nSo, yeah, uninstall it.\nDo your upgrade.\nYou don't have to reinstall Essentials because Defender's built in, which is the replacement\nfor Essentials.\nThe new version.\nOkay.\nSo uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials first, and we'll get Defender when we upgrade.\nCorrect.\nThank you very much.\nMy pleasure.\nThat was quick and easy.\nThat's a lot of Windows 10 questions today.\nYeah.\nYeah.\nYeah.\nWell, you know, the deadline is coming up.\nWe need to just start telling people, switch to Linux.\nThat won't confuse anyone at all.\nWe did that for a while, though.\nWhen the 8 upgrade, when 8 first came out, we were like, you know what?\nScrew this.\nLet's go to Linux.\nEverybody use Linux now.\nNah.\nReal power users just code their own operating systems, Mike.\nOh, yeah.\nYeah.\nReal power users.\nYep.\nManipulate the hard drive with magnets.\nRight.\nYou know, rather than actually writing any code.\nRight.\nYou gotta open a port and just suck it.\nHave you ever watched, Kent, have you ever watched 24, the Jack Bauer show?\nDid you ever see that?\nNo, I have not.\nIt's worth it to watch just for the tech speak.\nYeah, just the way they talk about computers.\nI'll check it out.\nIt's...\nOpen up a port on that firewall.\nPatch me through.\nThat's right.\nThere's...\nIt's open up a socket.\nMy terminal needs a socket opened.\nAnd...\nIt...\nThe stuff that really...\nThe stuff that really killed me about that show is that, you know, anytime that I watch\nany show where there's technology involved, there's so much just like, oh, that's not how\nthat works.\nYou know?\nAnd...\nBut, you know, I try to be good about it.\nI'm quiet.\nI don't say anything generally.\nBut that show just repeated basically two phrases throughout the whole thing, which\nwas, I'm going to need you to trust me.\nWhich was said like every other dialogue.\nEvery other dialogue sequence.\nAnd then we're going to have to get them to open up a socket.\nAnd first of all, you don't open sockets.\nThat's not how that works.\nThe best one of all time is on that show, NCIS, when the two people, to use the computer\nfaster, they're typing on the same keyboard at the same time.\nIt's so dumb.\nOh, man.\nEverybody knows that, like, when we need to hack faster, we just get more people on the\nsame keyboard.\nIt's like 12 people.\nYep.\nThat's actually how all these hacks happen, is they have like 80 people typing on one\nkeyboard.\nThe speed, you can't even comprehend.\nSpeaking of hacks, did anybody hear that the DNC got hacked?\nBig time.\nHeard that.\nYeah.\nThat's a pretty interesting story.\nThere's a lot going on there.\nAnd all of it is really, really quiet.\nImagine that.\nImagine that.\nImagine the fact that the...\nBasically, the highest...\nThe highest...\nThe echelons of the government are being really quiet about a gigantic hack.\nAnd, of course, the government is blaming Russian spies, which is, I think, great that\nthey're blaming them, especially when the hacker came back and he's like, uh, no.\nAnd he's not at all a Russian spy of any kind.\nYeah.\nNot a Russian spy.\nAnd then, of course, they said this, you know, they identified the...\nThis particular thing and, you know, the hack.\nAnd they shut it down because, you know, because they're on top of things, technologically speaking.\nAnd basically, the hacker came back and started taunting them.\nAnd he's like, you didn't know I was in there.\nAnd so they said, well, yeah, well, we know that he only had access to a couple of things.\nAnd so he came back and he said, I was in your system for a year.\nYou think I downloaded two things?\nDo you really think that?\nIs that what you think?\nAnd, yeah, it's pretty gnarly.\nSome pretty crazy stuff has come out as a result of this hack.\nYeah, like a list of mega donors to the DNC, a...\nComplete strategy for their campaign.\nRight.\nAnd the most interesting part is, at least to me, and this is definitely not a regular\nshow topic here, is that there sure is a lot of...\nThere's a lot of collusion going on behind the scenes.\nThere's a lot ofSure.\nThere's a lot of collaboration between different sides of the conversation.\nAnd I think that's part of the reward of the investigation.\nI've not run into an instance where I think something about one candidate that\nundoubtedly isn't true about another.\nSo it's very interesting to me that there's an active push years in advance for who's\ngoing to be the next president of the United States.\nAnd the thing that really kills me about this that I've mentioned a couple of\ntimes now is that how are we supposed to trust these people to protect our security and our\nprivacy when they can't even protect their own right and they're the ones calling for weaker\nyou know encryption they're like yeah that's the ironic thing is that if they had had strong\nencryption on their own equipment this could not have happened yeah who knows man they're just\noh they're just dumb this is you know it's like when when a kid puts his hand on the stove and\nthen gets a burn on his hand and you go do you see why you don't do that now yeah so yeah maybe\nmaybe we should call for you know they're going to turn into something else though\nright it's still going to be a weak a push for weaker encryption because now they want to find\nthe guy that's actually hidden behind encryption yeah you can't find him because he has the\nencryption right so yeah let's let's just burn the whole thing down you know don't worry about\nmaking things better right let's just let's just get angry about it and\nit's\ndumb all right so yeah there's a whole lot going on with the this DNC hack and it's one of those\nthings where you know you've got the two faces of the government right or where the government\nis speaking out of both sides of its face right so to speak you know with the whole weaker encryption\nbit and the all these laws that are put in place to make things more secure because they don't want\nhackers they don't want any of these hackers in there\num but they are and they want basically to be in control they're like let us control your\ninfrastructure because you security guys don't know what you're doing with the threat of throwing\nsecurity guys in jail for not allowing the federal government to dictate how security is supposed to\nhappen in an IT environment however they're not setting the highest you know the bar very high\nhere well it all goes back to the idea that you know essentially these people are legislating\nthings that they don't understand you know when when you're in a situation where you're not able to\ndo anything you have when they're setting up laws that are just so comically bad when it comes to\nstuff like encryption the people who actually know what they're doing it's like it's like child's play\nto get into their their equipment and their servers this guy was in there for a year and\nnobody knew he was there yep just making copies to everything and he uh he sent it all off to\nto wikileaks so according to wikileaks they basically say they're they're going to be\ndumping tons of information\nuh and they're already some of it's already out there but apparently there's a whole lot more\nand uh i don't know you know what what clinton did to piss off julian assange but uh he says\nthere's enough there to indict her and he wants to put it out there in the world okay julian do\nwhat you do you know you have to on some level admire the tenacity of wikileaks yeah in this in\nthe face of like extreme odds against them\nbecause they're targeting some of the most powerful people in the world\nyeah and and when you get even when you even get edward snowden to start tweeting\noh this got interesting you know that's that yeah there's something going on there and\neveryone's very tight-lipped about it there's not a whole lot being said but i'm sure just like with\nthe the panama papers and stuff like that there's going to be there's going to be some stuff out\nthere yeah i was a little shocked at first to see that this wasn't like headline news and then i was\nlike oh wait actually yeah of course it's not going to be like headline news and then i was like oh\nwait actually yeah of course it's not going to be like headline news and then i was like oh\nit's not of course it's not all right let's let's let's chew through some culture let's talk to\nmark hello mark hold on hold on a second my windows populating with text anyway um it's done so when i\ngo to update 10 again another 10 update uh-huh i'm looking at my list to uninstall stuff do i\nuninstall windows live essentials 2011 no essentials can stay\nokay i thought i had defender but i don't see it in here\nwell great then it's not there i guess not would it be under microsoft defender or what it was called\nthat's called microsoft security essentials if you're in seven i am in seven and uh it's not\nthere all right that for sure i had it so anyway i have um avira i'll take that out good and then\nwhen i put in a new antivirus what would i be just reactivating avira again\nSure, if that's what you want to do.\nWell, what's the better one?\nWhat's your choice of the week?\nThe choice of the week?\nWe're using Bitdefender right now at the shop.\nIs that what they're recommending now?\nYeah.\nBitdefender.\nBitdefender, yeah.\nOkay.\nTalk to Howard, 304-8300.\nHe'll tell you everything.\nThe boy has some strong feelings and opinions about antivirus.\nIn fact, everybody just call Howard right now.\nYeah, just call Howard.\nEveryone.\nJust even to say hi.\nOkay.\nWhat's the shop number again?\n304-8300.\nIf I get to the shop, though, and Howard burned it down because he got tired of all the phone calls,\nthat'll be interesting.\nHe's like, all the phones broke simultaneously.\nI don't know what happened.\nDon't know.\nAnyway, he can talk to you about antivirus and what's recommended there.\nOkay.\nOkay, great.\nI guess that was it.\nI'm getting about ready to pull the trigger today.\nYeah, that's what I hear everybody say.\nWe'll see.\nAs soon as I back up some stuff that I'm not sure it's done.\nCall me next week and you let me know.\nYeah.\nThanks, Mark.\nAll right, thanks.\nAll right, Shane, how are you?\nHow can I help you?\nI'm doing great, Mike.\nGreat show.\nOkay, so I'm going to go the full tinfoil hat conspiracy theory nut on you.\nSo I'm looking at the possibility of trying to get less trackable and less everything basically on the Internet.\nI am a supporter of this view.\nOkay.\nSo I've been reading all this stuff about...\nI'm possibly instituting, you know, Internet...\nWhat is it?\nInternet user IDs?\nYou know, Europe's real big on it right now.\nAnd I say we're in America to do it so they can track people.\nOh, yeah.\nBelieve me, that's an upcoming episode.\nOh, I will be listening intently.\nI've looked at IPVanish.\nI've looked at a bunch of different VPNs and what countries they're based out of.\nI tried setting one up and I ran into the...\nAnd I'm sure you remember the terminology better than me.\nBut, like, I use one of them, you know, CenturyLink, the non-Internet.\nLike you said.\nRight.\nAnd for some reason, it was putting the servers in Phoenix in between.\nEven though it said I was logged on, even though it said I was...\nThat I was on IPVanish and that everything's working great.\nWhen I ran their testing tools, it said, oh, no, you're not anonymous because they've inserted their servers.\nRight.\nIn the loop.\nSo I'm like, okay, so for us non-computer efficient Americans that want to be anonymous and be able to do stuff and not have the government track us, what's a good program to set up?\nWell, that's not about a program.\nThis is something that's completely outside of your control.\nSo when you're using the CenturyLink, at least CenturyLink locally, you are not actually getting out to the quote-unquote Internet until it hits Phoenix.\nRight.\nSo you can't do anything to circumvent that on that particular connection.\nWell, I guess what happened was they had me run the test tools.\nMm-hmm.\nAnd basically, if it came back and showed...\nWell, they're doing something called packet inspection.\nOkay.\nAnd that packet inspection is what's tagging it with the geolocation.\nSo...\nAnd that's a CenturyLink thing.\nYou can complain all you want to CenturyLink and they're going to be like, yeah, that's just sort of the way it is.\nDeal with it.\nSo part of the problem is CenturyLink.\nYou could switch to a different provider and that goes away.\nI know that on...\nOn Cox, at least locally, you can do fully end-to-end encrypted communications and you won't get any of that geotagging in the services there.\nOkay.\nSo that's a CenturyLink issue.\nGotcha.\nUnfortunately.\nComcast also, same thing.\nYou can use Comcast for that as well.\nOtherwise, you're going to have to get something like a Tor router.\nAll right.\nYou can get it like a WRT router.\nAny older Linksys router will work for this.\nYou can...\nThere's some software updates you can put on there which anonymizes your connection and makes you part of the Tor network.\nAnd that anonymizes your end-to-end anonymous.\nJust be careful with that stuff.\nIt's hard to do.\nYeah.\nBut if you're feeling like you want to be anonymous, that's the way to do it, man.\nOkay.\nWell, I really appreciate that.\nAnd I'll definitely...\nDo you know, like, which episode upcoming you're going to be talking about all that and the privacy and stuff?\nMaybe next weekend.\nOkay.\nI need to do a little more research on what Europe's doing with the whole...\nOkay.\n...hard ID access thing.\nBut I've seen a few people talk about it, and so I want to get to the bottom of it and figure out how long that's going to take to get here.\nBut, yeah, well, probably next week or the week after.\nAnd just on a side note, if you...\nBecause I know you can understand all the gobbledygooks better than I could reading it.\nI chose IPVanish because it was Italy.\nI think they said they were based out of Italy, and it had something to do with basically...\nYeah.\nEven if somebody gives them a court order and says, hey, we need to find out what this person's doing, they said, okay,\nwe set it up impossibly so nobody can.\nYou can't track what people are doing on the system.\nSort of.\nAnd we'll cover that when it comes to it.\nGreat.\nThere's a certain amount of hopeful optimism there.\nYeah.\nOkay.\nWell, great show, and I will definitely keep listening.\nThank you.\nThanks, Shane.\nBye-bye.\nWe're going to take a quick break, and when we get back, I guess we'll be out of time.\nYeah.\nThat's how that's going to work.\nSo listen up.\nWe have some specials, some deals we want to talk with you about.",

    "text": "What?\nWhat?\nWhat?\nI know.\nThat's right.\nWait, what?\nIt's been years since we've had a two-hour show.\nYeah.\nAnd here we are.\nThat's crazy.\nAnd if you want to give us a call, 790-2040.\nThat's what you should do.\nYou can talk to us on our all-new shiny second hour.\nRight.\nIs it shinier in here?\nIt is.\nIt looks a little brighter.\nIt looks a little bit brighter, yeah.\nI think it's because that light bulb came back on.\nBut nevertheless, second hour.\nSecond hour.\nSo 790-2040 if you want to be part of the show.\nGive us a call.\nWe're going to talk a lot in this particular, the second hour here, about privacy.\nAnd censorship.\nAnd how those two kind of correlate with one another.\nAnd it really came to light because of a less than wonderful event that happened.\nWe'll say a tragedy.\nSo as you may know, you should know by now, the Orlando shooting caused a very interesting\nset of things to happen on the internet.\nAs far as...\nThere are places that tout themselves to be...\nWhat's their slogan?\nThe front page of the internet.\nThe front page of the internet.\nNow, we've talked about Reddit before on this show.\nAnd, you know, over the last couple of years, our views on Reddit have changed for sure.\nBecause it used to be, when Reddit first started and we were first on it, it was like awesome\nand we're all for it.\nBut as they've grown and evolved, it's been leading inevitably to something like what\njust happened.\nRight.\nRight.\nSo over the last couple of years...\nRight.\nThere's been a few management shakeups over at Reddit.\nAnd it's very interesting because it's sort of a...\nAt least in the beginning, it was very much a self-policing thing, right?\nWhere there are moderators of each of the particular subreddits or boards that are on\nthere.\nAnd it was a rather democratic process for the most part as far as, you know, people\ncould put up their ideas.\nAnd those ideas...\nAnd those ideas would then be either upvoted or downvoted by the community.\nAnd you can say, well, either I support this or I think this is terrible.\nAnd, of course, the more that it has upvotes, the higher visibility it has on the site.\nAnd then the more downvotes it has, the less visibility it has on the site.\nAnd even that, even though that particular segment of the population, right, the entire\nsite has a definite political leaning.\nAnd it's pretty obvious in the stuff that you see.\nAnd that part was bothersome for us, you know, the last time we talked about Reddit was more\nthan a year ago as far as the problems seen there.\nBut the Orlando shooting brought something else completely to light.\nThere's a subreddit on there called News.\nAnd there's some other ones on there like World News and there's...\nNews is one of the default subreddits.\nSo when you first create an account, you're already subscribed to it.\nRight.\nSame with World News.\nYeah.\nAnd it's designed so that the community can take things that it thinks are newsworthy,\nput them, submit them to Reddit, and then Reddit will either upvote them or downvote\nthem for visibility.\nSo if it's something that is getting a lot of coverage, it should very rapidly make it\nto the front page where that's what you see as soon as you log into Reddit.\nAnd in the past, many news stories have actually broken on Reddit first.\nEven before the news, the real news sites picked them up, people were reporting them\non Reddit.\nRight.\nRight.\nThey were posting them.\nThey had mega threads and live threads regarding the discussion of those events.\nBoston bombing comes to mind there.\nSo when the Boston Marathon bombing happened, it happened first on Reddit as far as a large\nscale noteworthiness.\nYeah.\nPeople who were there were taking pictures and posting them on Reddit.\nYeah.\nIt's a big deal.\nNow, what happened during the Orlando shooting was really depressing.\nIt was that the officials, the moderators of Reddit were straight up deleting entries,\njust censorship, just like you've been banned and banned people because someone made the\nassociation between Omar the shooter and ISIS because of the 911 call.\nThey called it hate speech and banned the entire thread.\nYeah.\nThey were just immediately deleting anything that made a reference to that.\nSo if they made a, even if somebody asked, you know, oh my, oh my, is this another, another\nterrorist attack?\nBam, got deleted.\nIt was to the tune of, you know, thousands of comments were deleted.\nDozens and dozens of posts that were made were deleted.\nThere was just entire threads where every comment was marked as removed.\nYeah.\nIt's pretty.\nAnd this is one of those things is that, you know, more and more people these days, they\ndo not, especially in the younger generation, right?\nThey don't, they don't look to TV for news.\nThey don't look to the normal news outlets that nobody trusts in, in the younger demographics.\nNobody trusts Fox news or CNN or MSNBC.\nWe don't care.\nWe don't trust them at all.\nBecause they're sort of led by their own agenda.\nAnd for a long time, Reddit could be looked at as, as something where it's obviously community\npowered, community fueled, and it's what the world is talking about at that moment.\nSo why, it basically seemed to be a more fair place to look for information.\nYeah.\nIt was supposed to be this platform where anyone could share anything without the fear\nof censorship.\nYou know?\nLike you could discuss a newsworthy event that was happening.\nYeah.\nAnd not worry about the government or mainstream media slanting it.\nBut I mean, it's, I think people quickly forget that Reddit is a company.\nRight.\nThey're a business.\nAnd more importantly though, is there's a certain mob mentality that happens on Reddit\nand it's unfortunate, right?\nThat, that voices can be silenced effectively, not only by the community itself, but at the\nmoderator level.\nAnd they came back with a couple of excuses about, well, I'm not going to do this.\nI'm going to do this.\nAnd so, you know, there's a, there's a bot, an auto moderator that saw these as duplicates\nand was deleting everything.\nBut under any level of scrutiny, this argument doesn't hit, you know, it doesn't stand up.\nYeah.\nI mean, they, they did remove one moderator.\nBut I couldn't see that as anything other than a scapegoat tactic personally.\nYeah.\nAnd to be fair, that moderator was telling people to go kill themselves.\nSo you probably shouldn't be in that position anyway.\nBut there were also things like you said, when it came to the, the, the, the, the, the, the,\nthe only language that couldn't be seeded from the seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nseed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nseed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nseed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nseed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nseed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nseed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nseed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed seed\nAnd we don't like the idea that the Internet can be silenced or moderated as a whole, especially at the state level.\nBecause there are people who their only way of communicating with the world is through the Internet.\nAnd in some cases, there are places like in the Middle East that we've talked about where the only outlet that people have to say, hey, this is what's going on here, help, is potentially silenced.\nAnd, you know, China is a great issue of how the world can be manipulated.\nAnd same with North Korea, right, where you look at how the worldview can be manipulated just by changing the content or censoring the content that's on the Internet.\nAnd we don't like that.\nAnd I think that as Americans, we like to believe that we're exempt from that type of thing to some extent because we have freedom of speech here in the United States.\nBut examples like what happened with Reddit are proof that that is not necessarily.\nThe case all the time, if you trust one entity too much for your news, something like this is bound to happen.\nAnd the same thing with Facebook, right, where Facebook was basically accused of censoring the trending news topics and saying, well, this is a little too right leaning for us.\nSo we're not going to post it as a as a trending topic.\nNow, the Young Turks did an interesting video on this and not.\nBut I at all want people to watch the Young Turks.\nBut they're an Internet news organization, is that what they call themselves?\nAnd their explanation was, well, you can't trust sources like Breitbart and you can't trust sources like Drudge Report.\nSo you have to give it a little more time.\nYou have to find other sources before they'll put it up in trending.\nBut if Huffington Post put something up, you know, they put it up rather.\nI mean.\nWithout the secondary looks, without the backup sources.\nBasically, if you were you can't.\nI think you can't unless you are a news organization that you shouldn't be trying to moderate the news.\nYou shouldn't be determining for yourself what's important, especially like with the Facebook thing.\nIt's like if there's a certain number of people saying it, it's trending.\nRight.\nIt doesn't matter whether it's true or not.\nRight.\nThe trend is, is that people are talking about this.\nSo in order to to vet things for truthfulness on a trending list seems wrong, especially if you're not applying to the same rules to both sides of that spectrum.\nNow, don't get me wrong.\nYou know, the as far as I'm concerned, the the news sources on the left and the right are both crazy.\nAll right.\nIt's there's a certain amount of centrism that I long for.\nI want Walter Cronkite to come back.\nI want to be told news with without any type of commentary.\nI want to know the details without any of the slant one way or the other opinion that is associated with it.\nI just want to be told the facts.\nJust the facts, man.\nThat's it.\nAnd it's to me to have an organization like Reddit.\nSay, well, we don't think that this is news.\nSo we're going to kill this, even though there are hundreds of submissions or thousands of comments on that particular thread to just kill that thread because they don't like the way it works.\nIt bothers me.\nAnd where do you draw the line between when something becomes for the greater good?\nOr is it is it really the policing of thought?\nRight.\nAnd I think that the important thing.\nI remember here is that the only evidence that we have that a company like Reddit or any type of alternative news organization on the Internet, the only evidence we have that they are trying to uphold the ideals of, you know, open press and free speech is that they tell us that they are.\nYou know, there's they're under no obligation as a company.\nThey can delete whatever they want.\nYou know, they're under no right.\nYeah.\nThey don't have to do that at all.\nThey could have just said, yep, we deleted it.\nYou know, but they know that because they are ultimately they have to answer to their users.\nThey had to come out and say, well, yeah, it was a mistake, you know, and we're taking steps to undo it.\nBut I have to wonder if they hadn't gotten caught.\nOf course, that, you know, that wouldn't have happened.\nThey wouldn't have come forth.\nSo in opposition to this, I would say that you have the opportunity to to choose other sources on the Internet to get your information from.\nNow, as with anything, there's always a there's always a flip side.\nThere's always a side B.\nAnd so like to MSNBC, you end up with Fox News and to Huffington Post, you end up with Drudge Report.\nSo you end up with these sort of left and right spectrum, I guess, A and B spectrum alternatives.\nThe alternative to Reddit is Vote, which is V-O-A-T.\nDot C-O.\nAnd that that's an interesting site.\nI mean, they're very similar.\nIn appearance and how they work, but very different as far as content and how they deal with content.\nAnd as far as we can tell right now, at least looking when I looked on on Sunday and Monday last week at the differences between the Reddit news and the vote news, they were radically different.\nYeah.\nAnd it's actually kind of funny because in direct as a direct result of this whole situation with Reddit vote has experienced what they call.\nAlmost a doubling of traffic that weekend as people leave Reddit and go to vote because people were looking for information that couldn't find that was being deleted or censored at the other site.\nAnd and great.\nAt least there is an alternative for now.\nYeah.\nI mean, the future will show if if vote remains to be this bastion of free speech like they claim.\nBut for now, it's a great site.\nYeah.\nSo we're going to talk a little bit more about how the Internet kind of forms the way that we.\nPut information out there and a little bit more about who's policing your thoughts online.",

    "text": "Seven nine zero twenty forty.\nIf you want to be part of the show.\nFive two zero seven nine zero twenty forty.\nLet's go and take Ingrid.\nHello, Ingrid.\nHow are you?\nHi.\nI'd like to say, first of all, that I know virtually nothing about computers except the keyboard.\nAnd.\nBut this business of.\nWhat's available to us and what kind of information is being given is really.\nThis is a fabulous subject.\nVery important.\nGlad that you brought it up.\nSome days ago, there was discussion about Hillary Clinton's name being entered into various sites and different kinds of information coming up about her.\nSome was very bland, fluffy, inconsequential.\nAnd other stuff was of more substance.\nAnd of the things that, you know, people who are.\nDisappointed in her.\nWant to talk about.\nYou mentioned Walter Cronkite.\nWho knows if he was giving us everything that was available?\nWho knows who is in the pool of people who have information, who will give it out or won't give it out or give out false information?\nEverything is really quite unknown.\nIt's a matter of trusting people.\nWho do you trust?\nAnd the Internet is so big.\nAnd you talked about people in parts of the world where that's literally all they have available to them.\nIt has made things very, very dangerous.\nAnd people are influenced and can be pitted against each other.\nLook what they're doing now with the terrorist attacks.\nThey're looking at it from this direction, from that direction, manipulating everything.\nWe're being.\nWe're being ripped apart.\nWell, I guess that's sort of the point I was trying to get at is that information should be out there in the world for all of us to see and for all of us to make our own opinion about.\nAnd I think that if someone takes it upon themselves to censor that information for the masses, what right do they have to censor that information?\nThe part that bothers me is not necessarily that there are there is misinformation out there.\nThe part that bothers me is that someone has taken it upon themselves.\nAnd I think that's the part that bothers me.\nWe have no way of knowing if he was giving us the truth.\nWell, now we have potentially a million new sources at our fingertips at any given moment.\nSo we don't have to live in the forced echo chamber.\nYou know, we can always go to a different source and fact check and verify.\nThat doesn't mean that people do.\nBut we have the ability to for the potentially the first time in human history.\nThe thing is to go to all kinds of sources constantly.\nListen to Canadian news.\nI used to do that some years ago.\nAnd I would listen to Canadian and American news and see what I was missing.\nAnd now, of course, I'm at this border and I like to hear both sides of things.\nAnd we listen to the national news at night.\nAnd that's one of what we're just saying is that now you have the opportunity to listen to news from all over the world to get a different perspective to different geographical areas within the United States.\nYou get to listen to or have access to information from everywhere and from every site.\nAnd that's a double edged sword, right?\nWhere you've got all this information and all of these opinions and viewpoints that sort of don't necessarily match up with one another.\nAnd then somebody is going to be offended and say, well, that's hate speech or that is this is totally offensive.\nI feel completely triggered or whatever.\nBut that information needs to remain there because it is information from which you can form an opinion.\nWell, it's not.\nThe young people need to have it drilled into their heads that they have to look everywhere for information.\nAnd when it's found out that somebody is censoring, that entity needs to be.\nAnd that's that's the thing with the whole journalistic integrity thing.\nAll right.\nWhere you have large news organizations like, you know, you had ABC News that had a big thing with Brian Williams and some of these other.\nWhat's a Tom Brokaw before that?\nYou had these large news scandals.\nAnd the reason they were scandals were because.\nBecause there was an implicit implied trust.\nYeah.\nPeople trusted those people like Brian Williams.\nYou know, it's a household name.\nRight.\nSo there is an implied trust that goes along with saying I am the news.\nWhereas with these other sources, you know, when you're dealing with the Internet, it's not.\nBut there there are people like Huffington Post, like even in some respects a drudge.\nRight.\nThat are are trading in on the name.\nRight.\nThey're saying I am a news source.\nWell, not.\nReally.\nRight.\nBecause you you have your own slant.\nAnd what I'm looking for when I'm looking for a news source is someone is going to give me raw sort of unfiltered thought.\nYeah.\nAnd I mean, even just in terms of this show, when we're doing research on a topic for that, we're going to talk about on the show.\nLike, for instance, I've got three articles on this one subject that we're going to maybe talk about in a little bit.\nAnd I'm checking each of those articles as we're doing the show to make sure that all the facts are straight.\nAnd that we're going to be giving accurate information.\nYou can't just go to one source and then be like, I know everything about the story now.\nRight.\nAnd you almost have to make a last minute check to find out if something new didn't pop up.\nYeah, absolutely.\nThank you.\nI'll hang up and stop talking.\nThanks for the call.\nThanks for the call.\nYeah, there's there's a certain amount of I give out information on the show that is occasionally wrong.\nRight.\nSometimes it's just my opinion that's wrong.\nSometimes the actual fact I give out is wrong.\nRight.\nAnd it happens.\nRight.\nRight.\nRight.\nRight.\nRight.\nRight.\nRight.\nRight.\nRight.\nSo occasionally I get something wrong, or sometimes I misinterpret the question or whatever,\nand I feel bad about this every time that that happens.\nBut there are people out there that are willing to put misinformation into the world,\nand the bigger problem for me isn't necessarily even the journalistic integrity.\nIt's the idea that because someone doesn't like another idea that they have the right to censor it,\nand I think it's completely antithetical to the First Amendment.\nIt goes against the idea that we have a protection of speech in this country,\nand at what point does your outrage, your ability to be offended,\noutweigh my constitutional right to say whatever it is that I feel, or any other human for that matter?\nWe don't have the right to silence someone because we disagree with them,\nbecause if they're not going to be able to say what they want to say,\nif that's the case, you should just go to a regular college these days.\nAnd not to mention that everyone disagrees with everyone on everything anyway.\nRight.\nThere will always be some guy sitting there listening to us right now going,\nthese guys are totally wrong.\nRight, and there's another part of this that is very much involved with technology.\nI think that if you were to go back 50 years and wonder,\nwell, why didn't we have these types of safe spaces and all of this craziness that's out there\nas far as...\npeople not getting along and wanting to censor each other.\nIf you were to look back 50 years ago, you didn't have the mashup of ideas that you have now.\nYou didn't have billions of people just on the other end of your screen\nthat could all communicate directly with one another in mass.\nBefore it was like you had a local newspaper, maybe one TV channel\nthat might have told you something interesting.\nBut now you have the entire...\nYou have the entire world at your fingertips.\nYou have everything in front of you and there's way more to disagree with.\nUltimately, I think that the only real reason anyone would have to censor another idea\nis because they're afraid that they're wrong.\nThe safe space thing is they're afraid that they are wrong.\nAnd whether that's because they know it or not, I think that's ultimately the cause.\nYou live in an echo chamber because you're afraid of what's on the outside of it.\nThis is very true.\nAll right, let's go ahead and talk to Mark real quick.\nHello, Mark. How are you?\nHey.\nHi, Mike.\nI was pleasingly surprised to have you, hear you back on.\nAnd I want to thank you for coming back on for a second hour,\nwhich means I'm going to get less things done on this Saturday.\nBecause I'll be listening to you more than I would be, you know,\nintently listening to the former pinko commie.\nOur plan is finally coming together to make Saturdays more lazy.\nYes.\nWell, yeah, well, not lazy because anyway.\nSo, yeah.\nSo I'm going to miss some of those call-ins from the...\nfrom the other period.\nBut maybe Emil can take up the slack and actually have a two-way dialogue\ninstead of a socialistic public school perspective.\nRight.\nWell, you know, I don't know a whole lot about the show that was on during this hour.\nI listened a couple of times and very nice people.\nYeah.\nBut, you know, I figured who doesn't want more guru?\nThat's correct.\nWe would do a 12-hour show if we could.\nWe want more guru.\nI would not do a 12-hour show.\nThat's too much.\nSo more guru.\nAnd so thanks for being on again.\nThat's really great.\nExcellent.\nAlso, I forgot to mention when I talked to you earlier.\nSo I have two entries of Avera.\nThe one is, of course, the antivirus.\nThe other is the launcher.\nDo I uninstall both of those?\nJust the antivirus is the important one.\nBut I would...\nThe launcher is okay to leave in?\nI'd get rid of them both.\nOkay.\nThat's what I wanted to know.\nSo I'll get rid of them both.\nOh, you know, and thank you for the call.\nI appreciate it, Mark.\nThanks for...\nThank you for the thank you.\nThank you.\nOkay.\nOne of the other things that I forgot to mention,\nthat Computer Guru is in the Best of Tucson running.\nOh, yeah, we are.\nArizona Computer Guru is up for Best of Tucson in the finalists category.\nYeah, so you should take an opportunity to go over to the Tucson Weekly site\nand vote for Arizona Computer Guru in the Best of Tucson.\nWe posted it on our Facebook and all of our social,\nbut if you just Google search Best of Tucson finalists,\nyou can go vote for us.\nYeah.\nSo we're going to take a quick break.\nYou can give us a call at 790-2040 if you want to be part of the show.",

    "text": "If you want to be part of the show, let's talk to Ron, who's been waiting very patiently.\nHello, Ron. How are you?\nHey, hope you're doing okay.\nI'm doing lovely.\nOn Windows 10, I have a whole heck of a lot of programs and games that work on 7.\nSo would that be a problem if I changed?\nDepends on the games.\nGames?\nMost of the time, no.\nWe haven't seen too many problems with...\nThere are issues with video drivers and the way video behaves between 7 and 10,\ndepending on your card.\nSpecifically with the high-end NVIDIA cards, I've seen some issues.\nWhat kind of video card do you have?\nIt's a high-end NVIDIA card.\nRight, so if you have the GeForce experience on your machine, that should go.\nI personally, right as you're about to do the upgrade,\nI found it worked out a whole lot better for me\nthat right when I told it to go ahead and do the upgrade,\nI also uninstalled the video driver.\nAnd then it reinstalled it upon reboot after doing the Windows 10 upgrade,\nand everything worked fine.\nI'll say that as far as gaming goes, because of that exact issue,\nwhat worked for me was just doing a fresh install.\nBecause if you're using Steam games, you can reassociate them after the install.\nYou don't have to re-download them.\nOkay, do you mean NVIDIA reinstalled?\nIt reinstalls the driver for the game or Windows 10?\nSo Windows 10 will install its own NVIDIA driver after you do an upgrade.\nAnd then from there, you can go ahead and put on any,\nlike if you're using a beta driver or using the experience driver,\nyou can put that back on yourself.\nHowever, the experience driver, we have seen lots of problems\nwhere if it's installed prior to upgrade,\nit breaks the crap out of the video settings after the upgrade.\nWhat's the experience driver?\nWell, if you're not using it, then that's good.\nThat means you don't have to uninstall it.\nBut it's sort of like a universal driver for NVIDIA.\nOkay.\nSo Windows 10 knows which driver goes to my NVIDIA card?\nThere is a basic NVIDIA WHQL driver that Microsoft definitely knows about.\nIt's a GeForce driver, so that wouldn't be a problem?\nNo.\nWell, you'll still want to get your NVIDIA update for your card specifically,\nafter the install, because your performance on your NVIDIA card\ncould be affected if you don't.\nBut as far as that goes, if you're upgrading, just get rid of it for now,\nand then you can fix it after the install.\nOkay.\nBut does Windows 10 use more RAM than 7?\nIn my experience, it's about the same.\nNow, I mean, I've got sort of like a video editing rig that I did the upgrade on,\nand it's got 32 gigs of RAM on it, so I didn't really notice any difference at all.\nOkay.\nOkay.\nOkay.\nOkay.\nBecause the Windows, like my laptop here is Windows 10,\nand I noticed that Chrome uses more RAM after the upgrade than it did before,\nand more CPU for that matter, too.\nSo there is some sort of a penalty, a tradeoff there,\nbut I don't think it's enough that it needs to be warned about, like in the Vista era.\nSo you're saying certain programs, it differs by the program?\nIt appears to be differing by the program.\nDo you know what, like the official?\nThe official usage is per each OS?\nOff the top of my head, no.\nI'm sorry.\nOkay.\nOkay.\nBut I don't think that, I mean, if you get a reasonable machine and you're playing games on it now,\nyou're probably not going to notice any performance impact\nas long as you don't have your antivirus on there during the upgrade\nand you deal with the video stuff beforehand.\nYeah, you said Conspiracy uses a lot of resources.\nResources help out.\nPanda.\nPanda's not, my biggest problem with Panda is that it was irritating.\nBut it's a decent antivirus, and it's nice and lightweight, and it's fast.\nSo I have no issue with Panda as long as you go in and put it in, like, gaming mode\nso it doesn't give you a million updates every second.\nYeah, it's trying to sell you something.\nThe reason why it's lighter is because it's more web-based, isn't it?\nWell, sort of.\nThat's sort of a misnomer with all those web-based ones.\nThey, they, it does.\nIt does less as far as, like, Kaspersky is concerned, or compared to Kaspersky.\nSo.\nIt does less, you mean, on your machine as far as.\nYeah, I mean, it's monitoring less things.\nIt's, it's checking less things, and it uses a smaller database than Kaspersky\nbecause of that online feature.\nThat's not necessarily bad.\nI think that, I think that if you're going to do something, you should do it well, right?\nRight.\nAnd what I like about the antivirus-only antiviruses is that they do one thing,\nand they hopefully should.\nThey strive to do that well.\nWhereas Kaspersky and Norton and McAfee and these other larger suites,\neven Avast to a certain extent these days, they want to do all these things.\nThey want to check your spam and your email, and they want to,\nthey want to look for your privacy information.\nToo many features.\nRight, and all these features have a cost.\nJack of all trades, but master of none.\nRight, so I just, I just want a good antivirus.\nThat's it.\nSo, so you're saying Penn is more specialized on that one purpose?\nWell, I hope so.\nOtherwise.\nBecause it has no purpose on the machine at all, because they purport to only be an antivirus.\nNow, they do offer a firewall add-on in their paid version, but who needs that?\nRight.\nOkay.\nYeah, because Windows has its own, its own firewall, right?\nWindows does have a firewall, and it is very configurable,\nespecially if you go into the advanced version.\nSo, yeah, you've got lots of options.\nBut.\nOkay.\nI appreciate the call, Ron.\nCool, thanks.\nIt turns out that we ran out of time in our second hour.\nWhat's up with that?\nWhat's up with that?\nWe're out of time.\nOut of time.\nAll right.\nSo, let's mention our sponsor that we didn't mention last time, which is Desert Pro Commercial Cleaners.\nThey are a Patreon sponsor, and you can be too.\nYou can even make Tara say whatever you want.\nRight.\nOr me.\nThe rule is, is that if you donated a certain amount, Tara has to say whatever it is that you want her to say,\nproviding it's FCC friendly and won't get us in trouble.\nWe're really hoping that somebody is going to just have something hilarious for her to say.\nI would love that.\nBut.\nBut take an opportunity to support the show.\nNow that the show is even longer.\nYep.\nIt costs a little bit more, so we're going to need your help to keep it on the air.\nGo to gurushow.com slash Patreon or patreon.com slash gurushow.\nWorks either way.\nI would also like to take a moment to tell you to go subscribe to our YouTube channel,\nbecause I'm putting a lot of work into that, and we're going to do all kinds of cool stuff with it.\nBut we need to get a certain number of subscribers before we can do some of those things.\nSo, make me happy and go to gurushow.com, click the YouTube icon, and subscribe.\nNot to mention.\nThere's going to be a whole bunch of giveaways coming up,\nwhere we're going to give away something each month to someone who happens to be a YouTube subscriber.\nAnd maybe they have to be, you know, liked on the Facebook and all of that.\nThere's going to be some requirements, but if you want free stuff, sign up and tell your friends to sign up, too.\nAlso, visit our shop at 510 East Fort Lowell or 64 North Harrison,\nor give us a call at 304-8300.\nVisit the website at azcomputerguru.com.\nThanks.\nThanks.\nWe'll see you next week.\nI'm going to go to bed.\nI'm going to go to bed.\nI'm going to go to bed.\nI'm going to go to bed.",
