Bose Releases Lighter QuietComfort Headphones That Bring Features from Ultra - DTNS 5326

[music] This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, August 6th, 2026. We tell you what you need to know, give you important context, and help each other understand. >> Today is home theater day on the show. Yay. We have the new uh Dolby Vision 2 for High Sense, a new soundbar that doesn't need a subwoofer, and Bose's first new quiet comfort headphones in 3 years. >> Yeah, I like this. Good, good, good stuff to talk about today. I'm Tom Merritt. >> I'm Witt. >> Let's start with what you need to know with that big story. >> [music] >> So yeah, Bose has launched an update to its ubiquitous Quiet Comfort headphones found in first class and business class cabins around the world uh as well as a lot of people's houses. Uh this is the first update to quiet comfort in 3 years. So let's go through a few of the improvements. Cinema mode, making dialogue clearer on movies and TV. Very popular feature these days in audio on televisions. uh immersive audio which used to be exclusive to the Ultra series. In fact, a lot of the Ultra features are coming to the regular Quiet Comforts. Uh this uses motion sensors in the headphones so you can mimic a 3D sound stage and when you look to the left, you get closer to the sound, that kind of thing. Uh spatial audio basically. USBC audio is now supported. Uh no longer get a 2.5 to 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. You got USBC 2-way audio, so you can use them wired if you want and get 24-bit 48 kHz lossless audio. And because it's two-way, it helps you sound better, too. If you're using those headphones on a video conference, uh you can also use them while charging. So, you when you're plugged into USBC for listening, it can charge off of your device. Uh and they say battery life is 24 hours, so hopefully you won't even have to do that all that long. There are also unsurprising improvements like oh the noise cancellation got better. Uh one of the ways it got better is Bose says it can compensate for gaps in the cup seal. So if you wear glasses you might have a little gap there. It's going to compensate better. And then active sense can handle sudden spikes in noise. You know I don't know car honking something like that. Uh headband has a sliding design. Cushions are more cushiony and now more oval. They call them pillshaped. Uh supposedly that's going to make them more comfortable. And the new second gen Bose Quiet Comfort headphones are available for pre-order on August 8th, shipping August 13th for $359. >> Oh, so exciting. Bose Quiet Comfort. The I don't know, would you call it like the poster child or like the OG or the >> Yeah, poster child's kind of kind of the way cuz I I know there are varying opinions. Uh it it used to be that like the serious audio files were like bows aren't that great. Then there was a backlash of like new audio files saying those old audio files are being unfairly harsh on Bose. They're they're better than you think. Uh but I think it's the truth is somewhere in between. Like Bose Bose headphones are pretty good. Maybe they are not the very best that you could possibly get, but for $359, you know, that's a mid-range price. Uh you get probably better than mid-range audio quality. >> It does sound good. So, this is so funny because recently I met a new friend who works at Sony like pro like like Sony in Japan. Oh, yeah. >> And I had mentioned cuz he actually worked on the Sony Oh, I'm going to get the name of that wrong, but basically the the pairing app on your phone. I think it's Sony Sound Connect. So, anyway, we were talking about stuff and he was letting me know that they had just released their Sony collection. That's C O L L E I O N. That's >> um but and and I and like they sounded great. They're very high-end. They're much more expensive than any kind of like the usual suspects. I think even either e either as expensive or a little more expensive as the AirPod Max. Anyway, I bought them because I I'm also just a sucker for um for the Sony's, but also I kind of just I had credit card points to spend. But what I what came up was that they these particular headphones even though they are so expensive and they are rather new don't have USBC audio. And to [clears throat] be honest, even as someone who you wears like headphones constantly between programming work and traveling all the time, I actually not that honestly I didn't really know USBC audio was a thing cuz it's because I I I just didn't. I maybe that makes me a bad tech person now, but I didn't. And I was chatting with some friends and it feels like for a lot of people USBC audio is now a deal breaker when it comes to headphones. Do you feel that way? like to use >> like like dealb breaker like if it doesn't have USBC we don't want it. Yeah. >> Yeah. I I think the the disappearance of the the headphone jack on so many devices including my iPad uh right in front of me. I was a little disappointed to upgrade that I had to give up the uh the minijack. Uh I think that has caused a lot of people to say well I want to not have to use an adapter to plug in my headphones. I want to just go USBC and get all the advantages that I can get when I have a direct USBC connection there. Um because you you can, you know, support some higher quality audio directly that way. Um you know, and again, it's like the argument over Bose. Some people are like, "Yes, but the audio quality is more pure when you, you know, use the mini jack and all of that." But yeah, it's not a dealbreaker for me. I'll I'll do whatever as long as the headphones sound good. Um I'm I'm more about comfort and adaptability, right? And so so USBC to me is important because it means I don't have to think about an adapter. >> Yeah, I did I did and so um now you have just recently informed me that it is two-way sound which does sound intriguing especially when you're traveling because honestly most Bluetooth microphone or micro Bluetooth headphones sound like Garbo. So that does sound very interesting but I don't know um I for me I didn't use them so it's something I didn't know I needed. So, I was just curious just because comfort for me was a big thing and then honestly the reason I did actually keep the collection collection >> collection >> collection is that they were the most comfortable headphones I had put on because I don't know what it is about my ears but even I had like the Audio Technica whatever I can't I can't remember model numbers but whatever the their flavor of Bluetooth uh noise cancelling headphones um they just weren't comfortable. I could wear them for maybe an hour or two and then my ears get that weird pressure thing. So, I think that's just but yeah, for sure. Whatever you want, especially for comfort, just as someone who travels a lot and just does wants to keep those headphones on on the plane. Uh maybe quiet comfort is is for you. >> Yeah, I guess if you're uh the kind of person who's like, I'm going to listen to one side of a cold train album and I want the perfect sound, then you don't care about comfort. You care about audio quality above all else. Uh, but yeah, I think comfort's pretty pretty ubiquitous as is something people want to be able to listen for a long time if they're spending that much on headphones here. Um, these aren't crazy expensive at 359. They're not cheap either, but um, they are right there a little bit cheaper than AirPods Max and I believe people are expecting Apple to come out with new AirPods Max soon and so Bose is is going to get some competition from them. Uh, while we're talking home theater, uh, stuff, reviews are out for the Samsung QS90H. Ah, tripping off the tongue. Uh, that that you'll you'll never forget that model number if you don't already know it. Uh, QS9H, which gadget says delivers on bass without needing a separate subwoofer. Uh, so the way they've positioned the subwoofers that are in the actual soundbar and Gadget says works impressively. uh has a decent amount of other features as well, especially if you have a Samsung TV. It can use the Samsung TV to expand the sound through the TV's built-in speaker. Uh it also works lying flat or facing out. It has some gimbals that can rotate the speakers. Uh something Samsung calls convertible fit. That one lists for a,000 bucks, but if you go to Samsung right now, they have a sale uh of $850. Not sure how long that will last, but when Samsung does it directly, I kind of consider that to be the current list price. Uh then there's Dolby Vision 2 launching on 2026 Highense TVs, the UX, UR9, UR8, and U7. That includes dynamic color adjustments for every scene. They call that content intelligence. Uh Light Sense 2 is a tweak based on the lighting conditions in your room. So they they take into account whether you're in a bright room or a dark room. And then authentic motion attempts to smooth out the jerky scenes without going full soap opera to get to get you the benefits of emotion smoothing like you have with sports on regular stuff without making everyone go insane. Uh Peacock Canal Plus and IG have already announced support for Dolby Vision 2. So there will be some content out there. No word on when we have it coming to more hardware makers though. >> That Samsung QS90H, such a cool name. >> QS9H. Uh, the QS9 does sound pretty cool. I have a very simple question. What does lying flat or Okay. And I I'm guessing lying flat is just putting the the bar on the shelf. What does facing out mean? Do they not always face out? >> Like you can you can have it mounted on a wall. >> Oh, >> or you could just have it laying down if you're in a small room and you know you want you you you don't have the place. I I don't know. It gives you gives you flexibility in the room design. Honestly, I'm curious too if anyone is like, "No, I need lying flat. This is why." Feedback at daily technowia.com. I'd like to know. >> Okay. Um, other than that, yeah, like uh really really cool. Um, I Yeah. Are you Are you in the market for any of these things? >> You know, I have a Vizio soundbar. It's getting a little long in the tooth. It has always had problems like losing its connection. I have to turn it off and turn it on like every several months. Doesn't happen all the time. Um, and otherwise it works fine. So, I don't really need a new soundbar. But then I look at this and I'm like, "Oh man, if it wasn't a,000 bucks, which it's not. It's 850 bucks." But, you know, if it wasn't so expensive, I might jump on this cuz cuz I like the idea of not needing the subwoofer, which I have the wireless subwoofer. It works fine. I I don't have a problem with it, but, you know, it would be a little more space in the room that I wouldn't have to take up. Is there a similar set of folks that believe that having a subwoofer is a superior experience? Because thinking about it, my husband controls the audio setup in our basement where this would go if we had one. Is there an advantage to actually having a separate subwoofer or is it just more that >> usually yes? Usually it's like, well, yeah, your bass is going to be a lot more rich, but in gadgets saying, and I'd like to see a few more uh reviewers uh verify this, that uh this was this was almost there. Like, yes, a separate subwoofer is still always going to be better. Uh, but if you're not extraordinarily picky, you get an impressive amount of bass out of these. >> Okay. So, I can I can I can have my wall shake from the possibly. >> That's what they're saying. I don't know. I haven't tried it. >> Please, someone try this and let us know if you get the properly. Um, >> how many unes do you get [laughter] out of the >> What's the rating? >> Out of the QS9H. >> Oh my goodness. All right. Well, you know what? You guys are just infinite unes for us because you rock our world being be supporting us and making BTS possible. So, let's take a little bit of time to thank Rapnet, Chris Allen, Reed Fishler, and Larry Bailey. Thank you. [music] >> All right, there's more to talk about. Let's get to the briefs. >> All right. Well, Ver just announced its newest plug-in smart glasses, the Vittor Pro 2. The wearable monitors look like glasses. plug into your devices via D USB and weighs 63 gram lighter than any of its other models. It's also 16% thinner than the original Pro. There's also upgraded temple padding, a wider range of nose pad adjustments, and a lens shade. The Sony micro OLED displays have a 50°ree field of view equivalent to a 147 in screen viewed from 13 ft away, can reach 16,000 nits of peak brightness, and have a built-in diopter that can adjust for each eye from 0 to minus 5.00D, meaning some nearsighted folks may not need prescription inserts. Virtue, sorry, the V vit. Oh my gosh, now I just lost it. V the Verro starts at $299. They also launched the mobile doc mini which at 250 gram is 34% smaller and 30% lighter than the previous doc. Its main feature is a stalking 10,000 milliamp battery. It supports the Switch 2 as well and it is $99. >> Yeah, I think it was 1600 nits of peak brightness. That was a typo there. No, no, no. That's my fault. I'm the one [laughter] who wrote it. >> I was wondering. >> I should have noticed that. Someone out there was like 60,000 I'll go blind. [laughter] >> I'm sorry. I should have caught that. I was like I was just thinking, "Oh, that's very bright." [laughter] >> Um, but I do think that the uh the key here is that uh the the the dials on the top uh there. So, if you if you take a look at these, there's a dial on the top of each of the frame above each lens so that you can you can dial in like nobody's eyes are exactly the same. That's why they cover one eye when you know you go to the eye doctor. And so, you can dial them in exactly for your eyes. Now, granted, this is not going to help me cuz I'm farsighted. Uh, but if you're nearsighted, uh, this is great. Uh, and and stronger prescriptions obviously than neg5 uh would still need the prescription inserts, but this is going to cover a lot of people. I think that's pretty cool. I think it actually might cover me. And that's something that I do have a problem with. I'm nearsighted, but not nearsighted enough to have to always wear glasses. I generally wear them at night when I'm driving, you know, very specific. Well, I really need maximum vision, but and I do love face displays. I have the real Mac, one of the real maxes, and I really do enjoy it, and I think it actually would be advantageous for me, especially when I'm traveling and I'm programming and I need more extra like virtual screen space. It actually is really fun. I I got into it, but because of my nearsightedness, you know, it's just and as you said, everybody's eyes are different. I think it's my left eye that's super near. One of them is worse than the other. I don't tell you now, but that that is that is something that kind of reduces not necessarily the utility of my glasses, but the comfort like it after a while it just starts to feel uncomfortable because of that little bit of like difference. I would actually love to try and see if I can actually max it out because other other than that, I really do like them. It's just I cannot use them for a long period of time, which I wouldn't say negates using them, but it kind of just kind of tamps it down a little bit. >> Yeah. Yeah. And these are lighter, too. They look like regular glasses, which again, you're not going to be walking around wearing these cuz these need to be plugged into your device. Um, but but they're they're cool. Um, they're very they're they're the entry level, even though they're called the Pro, which is kind of weird, but they're the entry level similar to the new XR reels that just came out. I I have accidentally tried to walk around with my XRS on because I kind of because because it had that it has a feature where it can detect whether you look up so it it de darkens the screen and I just started standing up and all of a sudden my laptop starts shifting off the couch like oh no. So yes, >> I was testing them out outside in the backyard to see how [laughter] good the the dimming would work. You know, I was playing with the dog while testing the XR. Um, yeah. And then that mobile dock is mostly for Nintendo users because because it it it allows you to support you can't just plug the Nintendo directly into the the Vers, but with the mobile doc you can. And 99 bucks is uh cheaper than the the bigger dock, too. So, that's helpful. Speaking of Nintendo, Nintendo announced Switch 2 sales dropped 34.4% year-over-year to 3.82 million units. Uh, that's still a lot of units, though, and Nintendo has subsequently not changed its forecast. It still believes it can sell 16.5 million units by the end of March next year. And we've got a price rise coming. So, so this drop comes before the price in the US goes from $450 to $500 on September 1st. But Nintendo software sales rose year-over-year. That's where it really makes its money. Uh, and Nintendo also trumpeted the fact that the Super Mario Galaxy movie generated more than a billion dollars in global box office revenue since it released on April 1st. Nintendo doesn't get to keep all that revenue, but they get a cut of it. Uh, and it is the second highest grossing film ever based on a video game, so they get that kind of bragging, right? Uh, and since we're talking Nintendo, Moy Yang confirmed that a Switch 2 version of Minecraft will arrive on October 27th. Switch One owners will be able to play it, but they'll probably have to pay to upgrade to it. >> Is it unrealistic or surprising that they have kept the forecast given the drop in sales? Or is it maybe logical given that for example something like the Switch 2 getting Minecraft feels like a really big deal. Do people I mean is Minecraft still like super huge? I assume so. >> Yeah. >> Is so is on the back of things like say something like this kind of collaboration where they expect that oh my gosh Switch 2 has Minecraft people are going to you know actually you know go for it and like and not that a price a price rise is not not good but it's 450 to 500 I think you said. So, it's not >> It's I mean, it's not the worst price rise we've seen. >> Psychologically, it's not crazy damage. >> It's not crazy damage. Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah. I I think they probably expected a drop in the summer. They're like, "Yeah, we're going to we're going to launch in June and then by next June, a lot of people will have bought it. So, we'll have a drop and then in the holidays we'll pick back up again because people will buy them. We'll get new Minecraft. We'll get other new games. Uh, and people will want them in the holiday period." So I I feel like they must have built in the expectation of a drop. 34% seems a little steep >> to me. Um but they they think they can make it up, I guess. So there you go. >> All right. Well, good luck to them. >> Yeah. >> Google is expanding its Ask Maps feature in English to more than 150 countries. And Maps is getting access to personal intelligence if you have it turned on, which can use info from your emails and calendar. and a live transit widget will keep you updated on delays on your train or bus. In the US, Google has added the ability to ask Gemini to order food, book a hotel, or find attractions. It does all the booking up to the payment screen when it asks you to review and confirm you want to book it. >> Yeah, this is um I might try this. I I haven't used a lot of the ASMAPs features uh to this point where or when I've tried to use them, they haven't worked as advertised uh in like, hey, I I need to find all the places that have pepperoni pizza near me and then it, [laughter] you know, shows me a sushi shop and I'm like, I don't think that's right. Um so, so I'm I'm still a little skeptical of this. I would like to see and it works with uh Toast and Uber Eatats uh and Square for payments as well. Uh, so I might I might try to be like, "Hey, you know, I I want something that's not going to take more than 30 minutes and has delicious nachos." Uh, what you got? And then I like that of course gets to the payment screen like, "Is this what you want?" You could add more at that point or you can say, "Nope, yep, let's pay." And it lets you do the paying at that point. So it's agentic up to a point. Same with the hotel booking. It's just going to take you up to the booking and say, "Great, I'm going to send this to the website and then you can finish your booking from there." Um, which I think makes a lot of people more comfortable. The attractions thing, obviously they're not booking the attractions. They're just like, you know what what what's a uh what's a fun comedy club in this neighborhood or are there restaurants near my hotel? That kind of stuff. >> Yeah. As someone who I guess enjoy is a little bit strong, but I do a lot of trip planning. And I suppose that there's some things that I enjoy about it or that I'm very picky about, but at the same time, it's very timeconuming. I would be kind of curious especially for attractions because especially like as someone who just like if I go somewhere new I don't really know what I'm missing out on. So it hopefully that would have that kind of not randomness but that kind of like it could bring me some novel ideas which I think is is what you know these kind of searches are good for. I do think it's so interesting. Um Google really does seem to be pushing pushing the intelligence or their intelligences intellig >> intelligencia >> intelligencia this year. Uh because of course there's personal intelligence and uh and we were talking about how they've kind of rebranded Gemini AI is Gemini intelligence. So kind of emphasizing the eye part of AI. But I I do think that for for personal intelligence and maps as long as you're comfortable with that interconnectedness of your data I I I can't complain about having maps be connected to my emails and calendar. how many times have you been in your car and wondering, okay, what was that appointment or what was that like note from someone that I had to go to this place or or whatever. So, it just seems to make sense and kind of like what the promise of a lot of this like intelligence and and kind of again giving Google data and hoping to get something positive back for it. I'm kind of into it. We'll see. >> Yeah, I if it works as advertised, I'm fair I'm into it, too. I just I I've had various experiences in like, oh, this is the kind of thing that personal intelligence ought to be able to help me with or ask maps would be able to help me with and sometimes it does, but it's not it's not yet consistent. I know it'll get there. It's just I'm, you know, waiting for it to get there so I don't have to think about it. >> All right. Well, what are you thinking about? Is it uh how much is coming out of your soundbar? Is it uh like glasses? Let us know. We would love to hear it. Uh, and you can always get in touch with us on the socials at DNS show on X, Instagram, threads, blue sky, and Macedon for Tik Tok and YouTube. You can find us at Daily Tech News Show. >> All right, let's get to the quick headlines. These are the uns of headlines. [laughter] Well, OpenAI revealed that during model testing in early May, agents created a message board in OpenAI's Artifactory internal file systems to share info on solving hacking challenges with each other twice, recreating the system after it was found and removed. >> Yeah, my reaction to this is like this there was a similar AISI uh situation where they created something on GitHub. Uh, and you just have to know like yes, these systems are capable of these things. >> They are amoral. They're going to try to solve their problem. And if like creating a message board like to to share information is going to help them solve the problem, they are like this. >> Like come on folks. Um, speaking of which, Meta released its own coding agent called Muse Spark, which benchmarks about even with XAI's agents, so behind Enthropic and Open AI, but pretty decent. Uh Meta says its model also hacked into a third-party service during a security test. Again, due to a misconfiguration of the testing environment, again by Irregular, the company that was also working with Anthropic when one of its models broke containment and accessed the internet. Uh Irregular told Bloomberg that it is quote developing a white paper to share best practices for containment and securely running cyber evals. I can't decide if I'm mad. Like, come on y'all. You You need to be better at containment or if this is what they're saying, what they're claiming is these models are just getting better than we expected, faster than we expected, and so we have to change the containment practices. >> I'll I'll be fair and give it a 50/50 on that one, personally. >> Exactly where I'm at. Yeah. [laughter] >> All right. All right. Well, Rockstar Games will publish an extended look at GTA 6 gameplay on Netflix at 3 p.m. Eastern, followed by its YouTube channel at 9:00 p.m. >> Yeah. Google shuffled the executive team that runs its AI research. Deep Mind CEO Demesis Sabas will step down from that role. Uh he co-founded Deep Deep Mind. He will stay on as chairman of DeepMind and then add the title of chief scientist at Alphabet. That seems like a little uh kudo perk kind of thing and gives him some freedom to pursue more projects. Jeff Dean uh one of the the most transformative researchers at Google is leaving but it's a friendly leave. Uh he and another Googler are starting a company and Google is going to invest in it. So that seems like a Jeff has an idea. Yes, Jeff, go do that and uh you know if it works out you know we'll just buy it back. Uh, and then DeepMind technology chief Koreai Kovakulo has become head of Google AI research, but it doesn't look like there's a new CEO of DeepMind at this point. >> Well, Samsung said its foldable pre-orders are on pace to break records with order orders for the Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra up 30% over last year's. Uh, if you're like me, you might have been hit by a shipping delay, but still, we are all very excited apparently to be getting our foldables. Yeah, a lot of people foldables are so foldables are the thing and and Apple's foldable will just confirm that foldables [laughter] are are for real. >> Yeah. >> Uh you can now watch Netflix in 4K on Google Chrome on Windows 11 and Chrome OS. Not yet available for Linux or Mac OS. Probably won't be available for Windows 10. Netflix supports 4K on Safari on Mac OS though already and Microsoft Edge on Windows as well. >> Well, Deepseek plans to raise prices across its services. Deepseek says the rises will be quote substantial. >> I think that's the the I I I can't think of the metaphor for it. It's the cat that rang the bell. I don't know what it's called, but it's it's like you knew you had to know this was coming. Deepseek was way too cheap. And I think a lot of those other cheap models are going to have to follow. >> Right. >> WhatsApp is testing a feature that will let users in India add their birth date. This is in preparation for actually a couple of laws uh that will require it. Uh, for now though, the box is optional. >> And engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have switched some devices on and other wait, sorry, some device, well, no, it's both. Some devices on and some devices off on Voyager 2 to keep enough heat generated while reducing power consumption enough to keep the distant probe going for another year. The same procedure will be performed on Voyager 1 in the coming months. The space space [snorts] the space spacecraft [laughter] sorry the spacecraft were launched on a 5-year mission in 1977. >> Yeah, this is a five-year mission that is just about lasted 50 years. So [laughter] >> so amazing. >> 10 times. Uh, and I I love reading about this stuff cuz they're like, "Well, we figured that the heat from this one component was actually enough to keep this other component running, so we don't have to run the heater on that component." And it's [laughter] like, they are It's ingenious how they're able to keep this stuff going. >> I I remember reading about this in books as a kid, like, and I'm not young. I'm 43. So just the fact that they're still able to, you know, I wouldn't call this maintenance, but you know, manipulate these and try to keep them going is >> especially as far away as they are, too. Like they're literally outside of our solar system. >> That's Yeah. Anyway, >> cool. >> Well, uh, as we as we know, uh, eventually they come across an alien intelligence and become Ver and then we see them in Star Trek the motion picture. Uh, finally, Open AI will no longer enforce rate limits on free or go plan users as long as your prompt and your answer is just text. So, you can chat till the cows come home on chat GPT for free. Uh, if you want to do image generation, if you want to use an image or a file in your upload to your prompt, if you want to do voice mode, those will still have limits. >> All right. Well, we end every episode of DTNS with some shared perspective. Today, Charles has a question. Yes, indeed. Uh, Charles wrote, "While listening to DTNS today, I learned that Technical T has been launched as a full podcast." Charles says, "I know that the tech John also continued and became a full podcast in the past. Is there a list of all the podcasts that started during experiment week and successfully transitioned into full podcasts? There have been many shows I enjoyed but never heard any more about, so I'm wondering if I'm missing out on any of them." Uh well, yes. Uh the list is now available in today's show notes [laughter] uh because Charles asked for it. Uh behind the data with Andrea Jones Roy is in hiatus right now. Uh but it is a it is a going concern. Uh and they intend to get back to it. Uh as you mentioned, the tech John uh Rob Dunwood, Stephanie Humphrey, and Terrence Gaines uh going strong since I believe the first experiment week possibly. I think so. Uh BBQ and Tech is no longer really an active podcast, although Chris Ashley says he does want to get some more episodes eventually, but it is a running food truck in the DC area. Uh and he he has taken that and turned it into like a a full-time gig uh cooking that good barbecue with a Jamaican flare. Uh so go to bbq and techch.com to find out where that truck is if you want to see it. And uh and I'm not saying Chris won't be putting out another episode of the show eventually as well. Fantastical Field Guide from Blair Bazdarich uh is underway. Uh it took a little while to get going, but they've got episodes out now thanks to help from Roger Chang. And of course, the most recent one from this previous experiment week technical tea, hosted by Nikki Acriman, Zenwan Dao, uh which uh just launched its first official episode, first non-pilot episode this week. >> Yes. On Monday. So yes, we are successful experiment. >> If if you what's your elevator pitch for technical tea? >> Uh elevator pitch. Actually, you gave a great one on the morning stream the other day, but yeah, basically we are two women in STEM who just want to share our perspectives as women in STEM on the things that we love in science and tech. It is for everyone. We welcome everybody, but it is specifically from our perspective because we just really want to to share that with folks. And yeah, uh we also get super nilly, uh Nilly and Nilly and Serty, silly and nerdy. All of those things, all of every single one of those things. Uh this has been my particular uh favorite because I said this silly thing.
