concerns following another Starling satellite explosion in orbit. All that

7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.679
and more coming up on space Time.

8
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:46.799
Welcome to space Time with Stewart Gary.

9
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.520
NASA have narrowed down their list of possible landing sites

10
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.159
for their return of humans to the lunar surface in

11
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.880
twenty twenty eight. The atomist for mission will target one

12
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.119
of nine possible landing sites around the lunar South Pole.

13
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.480
Nasare yet to the decide which of the two landers,

14
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:09.079
SpaceX's giant starship HLS or Blue Origins more moderately sized

15
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.640
integrated lunar vehicle, will undertake that historic mission. Both will

16
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.799
be tested next year in low Earth orbit, undertaking practice

17
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.480
docking maneuvers during the Atomis three mission, and they'll each

18
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.959
have to perform an unmanned landing and take off from

19
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.799
the lunar surface for a final decisions made, of course.

20
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.040
The announcement of lunar landing targets comes as the Artemis

21
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.359
two crew continue their historic orbital journey around the Moon

22
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.319
and back to Earth. The likely target sites four Artemis four,

23
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.319
were presented at the fifty seventh Lunar and Planetary Science

24
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.959
Conference in Texas. It follows an earlier selection of thirteen

25
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.359
sites back in twenty twenty four. Each of the candidate

26
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.680
sites is based on several mission requirements including manned land

27
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:57.159
a vehicle design, communications availability, surface lighting safety, and surface

28
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.239
mission duration, which is currently estimated to be between five

29
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.280
and seven days. The nine sites represent a balance of

30
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:09.439
operational feasibility, terrain safety, and science potential. The Luna's south

31
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.319
pole location means communications would become crucial for staying in

32
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.759
constant contact with the Earth. While planet Earth is tilted

33
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.919
at some twenty three and a half degrees relative to

34
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.479
the Sun, the Moon's only tilted at five degrees, and

35
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.439
this much smaller angle means some regions of the lunar

36
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.759
poles aren't directly in line of sight with Earth that

37
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.080
will result in intermittent loss of signal. In fact, that

38
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.879
very issue became apparent during the intuity of machines i

39
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.479
AM two mission, which attempted to land near the lunar

40
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.520
south pole but ended up tipping over sideways in a crater.

41
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.360
The cause was traced to the spacecraft's telemetry and altitude

42
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.319
monitoring experiencing significant changes during the descent, all because of

43
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.879
the intermittent communications problems with Earth. It meant the vehicle

44
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.280
didn't really know where it was as it passed behind

45
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.680
a crater in or small hill, temporarily cutting communications with

46
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.240
mission managers back on Earth. This has decided to target

47
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.199
the more difficult lunar south pole terrain rather than the

48
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.360
Moon's always Earth facing knee side because of the large

49
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.479
water ized deposits in the permanently shadowed floors of the

50
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.400
deck craters located there. That water would eventually be used

51
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.759
both for drinking and also separated into hydrogen and oxygen

52
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.199
fuses rocket fuel. This report from MESSATV.

53
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.319
We learned a lot from the Apollo samples, but we

54
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.120
still have a lot left to learn about the Moon.

55
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.960
The Apollo missions visited only a pretty narrow swath of

56
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.919
the Moon. All the missions were concentrated near the near

57
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.639
side equator. Really interesting and really critical insights were unlocked

58
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.439
with the Apollo samples. But we have so many questions

59
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.599
still to answer about the Moon and the evolution of

60
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.039
the Moon and lift off of Artemis one we rise

61
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.439
together back to.

62
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.039
The Moon and beyond.

63
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.439
NASA's Artemis missions are NASA's plan to send people to

64
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.319
the surface of the Moon. We'll be sending people and

65
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.719
roving assets and scientific equipment to, among other things, answer

66
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.680
a lot of really compelling science questions. Scientists have a

67
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.280
lot to learn about the Moon. It's our nearest celestial

68
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.159
neighbor here to Earth. So what the Moon has experienced,

69
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.759
we've experienced. Except here on Earth we have things like

70
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.120
plate tectonics, oceans, forests, people that erase the rock record,

71
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.240
whereas on the Moon, that whole record of our planet's history,

72
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.160
of the Moon's history is just kind of waiting there

73
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.040
at the surface for us to explore. The south pole,

74
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.360
which is where Artemis missions are going to target, is

75
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.519
specifically interesting for a couple key reasons. We think there

76
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.480
are volatiles at the south pole of the Moon that

77
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.199
are not present near the equator, things like water and

78
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.600
water ice that are trapped in the lunar regolith, which

79
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.279
basically just means lunar soil that can easily become untrapped

80
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.839
from that lunar regolith and scientists can scoop up and

81
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.800
study for return to Earth. The lunar South Pole is

82
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.959
a really exciting scientific target, and it also comes with

83
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.879
some challenges for operating. For example, the lighting environment will

84
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.160
change drastically within the course of one mission and even

85
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.360
over sometimes the course of one spacewalk. Compairing the crew members,

86
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.120
preparing the hardware that we're sending to the Moon, and

87
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.560
preparing the mission control teams is really really important. The

88
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.800
South full Achenbasin is particularly exciting. We think it's one

89
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.639
of the oldest and largest impact basins in the Solar System.

90
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.360
And if we can get the right rock from the

91
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.720
South Full Achenbasin and bring it back to our labs

92
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.639
here on Earth, we can use that sample to constrain

93
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.639
the entire evolution of our Solar system and really understand

94
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.279
the timing of how the Moon and our planet and

95
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.959
the entire Solar system evolved.

96
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.000
And in that report from MESSATV we had from Otamus

97
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.079
Lunas science lead Kelsey Young from messa's godd Space Flight Center,

98
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.600
this is space time still to come. Discovery of a

99
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.759
weed magnetic shield around Satin, and concerns grow as another

100
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.399
styling satellite explodes in orbit. All that and more still

101
00:05:50.399 --> 00:06:09.439
to come on space time, a new study has found

102
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.240
that Satin's magnetosphere that's the magnetic bubble surrounding the ring world,

103
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.639
is lopsided. The findings, reported in the journal Nature Communications,

104
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.439
are based on data from Nasus Cassini spacecraft, which orbited

105
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.199
Saturn between twenty four and twenty seventeen, studying many of

106
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.959
its moons and deploying the European space agencies Huygen's lander

107
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.480
down to the surface of the moon Titan. The studies

108
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.600
authors say that discovery confirms that giant planets operate under

109
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.920
a different magnetospheric regime compared to that of the Earth.

110
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.240
In fact, this new finding backs up a long staining

111
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.839
hypothesis that the rapid spin of massive planets like Jupiter

112
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.399
and Satin would replace the solar wind the stream of

113
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.519
church particle was flowing out from the Sun as the

114
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.639
dominant force sculpting their magnetospheres. A magnetosphere is the region

115
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.680
of near space environment around the planet where it's magnetic

116
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.800
field axis is shield against the solar wind. However, near

117
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.360
a planet's magnetic poles, funnel shaped openings known as magnetospheric cusps,

118
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.519
allow charged particles from the Sun to leak directly into

119
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.040
a planetary atmosphere. The authors analyzed Cassini data collected between

120
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.199
two thy four and twenty ten to determine the precise

121
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.079
location of Saturn's magnetospheric causp, and the results showed a

122
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.959
clear difference from similar measurements here on Earth. It seems

123
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.639
Saturn's immense rotational forces literally drag the cusp away from noon,

124
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.319
stewing its average location significantly towards the afternoon sector, specifically

125
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.079
between thirteen hundred and fifteen hundred local time, whiles sometimes

126
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.959
extending that even further towards twenty hours local time. The

127
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.240
dusk or into location of Saturn's cusp confirms that a

128
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.879
planet's rotational rate can fundamentally change the structure of its

129
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.600
a near space environment. In fact, the shifted cusp location

130
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.480
fundamentally alters models of magnetic reconnection, high energy particle acceleration,

131
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.720
and Saturn's powerful auroral activity. One of the studies authors,

132
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.639
the Cray from Lancaster University, says these results will allow

133
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.680
scientists to move forward with new and improved theories on

134
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.399
how planetary magnetospheres interact with the solar wind. Earth spinds

135
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.160
quite slowly compared to the gas giants, with one Earth

136
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.279
day lasting twenty four hours. The dominant factor driving the

137
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.399
shape of the magnetosphere is the balance between the pressure

138
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.800
from the Sun, the solar wind, and the pressure from

139
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.800
Earth's magnetic field, and so this balance aligns Earth's cust

140
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.639
towards local high noon. But at Saturn, one day lasts

141
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.879
just ten point seven hours and its magnetosphere is full

142
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:43.120
of ionized material from its iceman and soladus, and these

143
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.480
two effects mean that for Saturn, pressure from the magnetic

144
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.039
field and a rapidly spinning disc of ionized material must

145
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.639
be balanced against the solar wind pressure. Ray says the

146
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:58.159
afternoon cusp locations as implications for how scientists interpret Saturn's

147
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.200
bright aroa and where one can expect magnetic reconnection to occur.

148
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.720
That's the explosive process that accelerates particles to very high energies.

149
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.799
It also highlights the rich science that can still be

150
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.879
done with Cassini data more than eight years after the

151
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.759
end of the mission. This is space time still to

152
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:21.039
come growing concerns as another Starlink satellite explodes in orbit,

153
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.240
and later in the Science report, a new study shows

154
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.879
that teenagers are turning to artificial intelligence for emotional support, validation,

155
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.600
and companionship rather than their fellow humans. All that and

156
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:51.960
more still to come on Space Time SpaceX are still

157
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.759
trying to determine the exact cause of the sudden breakup

158
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:59.960
of a Starlink broadband communications satellite last week. Starlink satellite

159
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.519
four three four three unexpectedly disintegrated in low Earth orbit,

160
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.720
approximately five hundred and sixty kilometers above the planet. Spacecraft

161
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.159
had only been launched in May last year, so it

162
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.440
was still fairly new, and the incident has sent shockwaves

163
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.080
through the space community. This is not the first time

164
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.879
this has happened to a startic satellite. LeoLabs, which acts

165
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.279
as a sort of air traffic controller monitoring spacecraft positions

166
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.320
from Earth using a network of global radar systems, says

167
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.399
the break up scattered numerous fragments across a wide area.

168
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.639
The company's network initially detected ten large fragments in the

169
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.159
vicinity of the satellite after the event as it passed

170
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.960
over Leolab's radar site in the Azores. The company says,

171
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.440
due to the low altitude of the event, many fragments

172
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:46.080
from this anomaly were likely deorbit within a few weeks. However,

173
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.159
the presence of this debris could pose long term risks

174
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:53.360
for spacecraft traveling through the area. Current speculation suggests the

175
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.919
satellite's destruction was caused by some sort of internal energetic

176
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.440
event anomaly. In other words, something inside the spacecraft exploded,

177
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.960
possibly associated with its iron propulsion system or its fuel tank.

178
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.120
The argon propellent used for orbital maneuvering is stored inside

179
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.039
a composite overrapp pressure vessel, a number of which have

180
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.720
already failed over the past few months. Leo Labs analysis

181
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.559
indicates that this event is similar to a previous explosion

182
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.799
involving Starling's satellite three five ninety five six back in

183
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:25.559
December last year. The company says the Slurtest incident illustrates

184
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.840
the need for rapid characterization of anomalous events in order

185
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.559
to enable clarity of the operational environment this space. Time

186
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.519
and time that to take another brief look at some

187
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.960
of the other stories making news in science this week.

188
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.879
With a science report, A new study warns that climate

189
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.440
change will push more venomous snakes towards the highly populated

190
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.519
Australian coast. A report in the General plus Neglected Tropical

191
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.559
Diseases found that the venomous snakes species will have their

192
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:12.440
ranges shifted away from the nation's arid center. The authors

193
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.639
used a combination of public and private databases, citizen science platforms,

194
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.879
museum records, scientific literature, and expert observations to model the

195
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.399
habitats of all five hundred and eight medically important venomous

196
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.200
snake species. They then use computer models to estimate how

197
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.720
snakes and human populations currently overlap and project how that

198
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.799
will shift by twenty fifty and again by twenty ninety

199
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.360
due to climate change. They found that long term range

200
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.480
expansion in Australia would shift towards the south, especially along

201
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.679
the East coast or Central and Northern Australia will actually

202
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.360
see a contraction of ranges as most of these species

203
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.080
shift their distribution away from the arid center and towards

204
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:57.039
the coastline, consequently into more highly populated human communities. The

205
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.759
German Army is looking at purchasing a squadron of MQ

206
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:04.240
two twenty eight ghost bat unmanned aerial combat vehicles designed

207
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.080
and developed in Australia by the Australian Air Force and Boeing.

208
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.480
The Ghost Spat is an autonomous force multiplier stealth aircraft

209
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.799
designed to operate either independently or as a wingman for

210
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.600
manned aircraft in military live fire exercises. MQ twenty eight

211
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.440
has flown autonomously successfully shooting down a target drone using

212
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.879
an AIM one twenty eight to eight missile while flying

213
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.399
in formation with Australian Faight and super Hornet fighter aircraft

214
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.840
and with E seven Wedgetail, a WAK advanced early warning

215
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:36.200
control aircraft. The German interest comes as Berlin takes delivery

216
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.279
of their first batch of Queensland built Boxer heavy weapons

217
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.320
carriers and combat reconnaissance command and control vehicles. The Australian

218
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.159
Army already operates two hundred and eleven Boxes in both

219
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:51.240
combat reconnaissance and weapons carrier configurations. The reconnaissance variant differs

220
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.919
by having a turret fitted with a thirty millimeter automatic

221
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:58.960
cannon and an anti tank guided missile system. Scientists are

222
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:03.159
raising concerns about adolescents turning to artificial intelligent chatbots for

223
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.799
emotional support, validation, and companionship. The findings reported in the

224
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.200
Journal of the American Medical Association suggest that it represents

225
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.399
a societal shift in which personal development, which used to

226
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.679
occur through human contact and relationships during the teenage years,

227
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.559
is now being outsourced to technology. The authors are calling

228
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.519
on parents to teach their teens to be more self aware,

229
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.039
to recognize when AI use is becoming an emotional reliance

230
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.960
and when AI relationships are eclipsing human connections, and that

231
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:36.039
experiencing discomfort in human relationships is an important contributor to

232
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:40.440
healthy development. The authors also suggest that doctors should routinely

233
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.840
assess AI use among teens in order to flag emotional

234
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.039
dependency in neglect of human connections early on. They conclude

235
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.759
by warning that substituting human connections with AI may make

236
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:56.000
teens more vulnerable to depression, anxiety, and loneliness, but they

237
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.960
also acknowledge that for some teens, AI might be their

238
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:04.559
only source of much needed emotional support. Intel have just

239
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:08.879
released their new Core Ultra series three laptop CPU with

240
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:12.320
the details were joined by technology editor alex Ahwervroyd from

241
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:13.679
Take Advice, Start Live.

242
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:17.159
Yeah, they just launched their Intel Core Ultra series three

243
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.120
and laptops are already on sale. There's no desktops that

244
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.240
I could see yet, but of course most people buy

245
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.960
laptops these days. They had little thirteen inch models from

246
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.080
zero point nine to eighty five kilograms under kilogram felt

247
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.799
extremely light, as though it was a plastic toil on

248
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.879
almost which is stunning. And we're talking about twenty seven

249
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.559
hours of battery life on a single charge and up

250
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.159
to forty hours if you're just watching Netflix with the

251
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.159
screen dimmed. You could travel the world twise, I mean

252
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.360
perfect environment for late at night or on a plane.

253
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:47.519
And these laptops have a built in Intel graphics chip

254
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.679
that is better with more frame rates than a computer

255
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.559
with the separate discrete and videographic card inside. Now I've

256
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.519
recorded the entire presentation. It'll be on it wire dot com.

257
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.320
You can watch it there. And I went to all

258
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:02.240
of the different stands, there were six of them, Dell

259
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.399
hp MSI ass acer as well, and then know that's

260
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.240
all six and I also did an interview with the

261
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.919
local country general manager. And you know, these are the

262
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:17.080
answer to both Apple's M five series, the notebooks and iPads,

263
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.840
and also the AMD chips and AMD just announced today

264
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.600
that there's a big event in San Francisco in July,

265
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:24.200
which I've been invited to. I'll be going there and

266
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.720
they'll have the new chips that will answer these ones

267
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.000
from Intel. All the current ones are pretty amazing. I mean,

268
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.799
Intel is catching up here and also their latest AI chip,

269
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.639
so a good reason if you've got a four or

270
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.759
five year old Windows PC that is a bit slow,

271
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:39.320
and you know one of the keys is not working properly,

272
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.720
or if it just hasn't got the battery life. You remember,

273
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:43.879
I mean, these new machines are on the market, they're

274
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.480
on sales. They're coming with things like sixteen or thirty

275
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.759
two gig of RAM with five twelve gig or one

276
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.600
tear about SSD, so that none of this is eight

277
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.720
gig two fifty six big monthsons. I mean, these are

278
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.399
quality machines and they have the battery power and when

279
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.039
you put your hand on theeath they're not hot. So

280
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.679
you know, this is using Intel's eighteen A process, which

281
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:01.840
is catch up to some of the three nanometer type

282
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:03.639
of technologies from the other guys. It's good to see

283
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.880
Inteller is back. I mean they said they never left,

284
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.039
but of course you know their technology was in catch

285
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.160
up mode. Well yeah, their technology, well ignore this. Well

286
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.599
they still sell the line's share of course PC. So

287
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:16.160
it's not a's not as if they were forgotten. I

288
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:18.160
mean it's the old ad age. You know, nobody ever

289
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.559
got fired for buying IBM. Well nobody ever got fired

290
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:22.960
for buying Intel either. As such. For consumers, I mean,

291
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:24.880
they've been trained to think that an Intel ship is one.

292
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.319
But plenty of people buy AMD chips because they've been

293
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.799
whipping Intel's ass, as they say in America for quite

294
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.160
some time. But they have caught up. And so that's

295
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.400
good because it means consumers have a better range of

296
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.640
technologies to buy from in the stores. And these are

297
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.640
in stores now. And there's another couple of hundred models

298
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.119
from different makes and sizes thirteen inch, fourteen inch, sixty inch,

299
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.799
And it's nice to see Inteler's back.

300
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.960
That's Alex Howrav right from Take Advice, Start Life, and
