[SPEAKER_03]: a factual data creation facility production. [SPEAKER_00]: In a world where some podcasters make millions of dollars, I bring you the OFNT podcast, which isn't one of them. [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to Episode 320, which I'm calling RAM Shortages Arrive. [SPEAKER_02]: And it's starting to hit consumers hard. [SPEAKER_02]: Besides increasing prices for new tech, where it's starting to see shortages of different items. [SPEAKER_02]: This all is caused by AI data centers.
[SPEAKER_02]: At least that's what they tell us. [SPEAKER_02]: This all might be for not though, because I'm hearing that most AI enthusiasts prefer running the large language model of their choice locally. [SPEAKER_02]: We will see how this whole shakes out. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yes. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to start this thing. [SPEAKER_02]: OK. Before I start, I have a couple of corrections.
[SPEAKER_02]: First off, the old saying I used to describe the Spotify app last week should have been Jack of all trades and the Master of None. [SPEAKER_02]: Not Jack of all trades, but Master at None. [SPEAKER_02]: It's been bothering me all week so I had to get it out of my system. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: The second correction is that Android desktop has been released at a public for about a month now. [SPEAKER_02]: And here I thought it was still in beta.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, while referring to the FCC, I called it the Federal Communications Committee. [SPEAKER_02]: It's actually a commission, not a committee. [SPEAKER_02]: Tech news, if you're a fan of Google's Pixel phone, well it's that time of year again. [SPEAKER_01]: You mean the Pixel 11 is about to be released? [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm referring to the time of the year when absolutely everything about the new Pixel phone line-up starts leaking to the tech press.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the leagues I'm going to tell you about are most likely controlled leagues, as and leaked by Google itself. [SPEAKER_02]: Other leagues are genuine leagues from supply chain sources and press members that have contacts within Google. [SPEAKER_02]: Unlike Apple, Google seems to not care about leaks of its products. [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, AndroidPolice.com, who are quoting Leaker, Mystic Leaks? [SPEAKER_02]: Have I run down of what's known about Google's next Pixel phones?
[SPEAKER_02]: The Pixel lineup will be powered by the TSMC fabricated 10-SORG 6 chip, which is based upon the latest a 2 nanometer process. [SPEAKER_02]: A Titan M3 will handle AI processing and also security. [SPEAKER_02]: This confirms a previous reports of Google totally abandoning Samsung source chips. [SPEAKER_02]: The new pixels will use a MediaTek M90 modem chip and this replaces Samsung's Exodus modem chip, which has a reputation of being power hungry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's hope that this new media tech modem is up to the, to ask the performance wise. [SPEAKER_02]: While at the same time, helping with what's the biggest complaint about pixel phones. [SPEAKER_02]: That would be battery life. [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of which, the battery sizes are, predicted to stay the same or be slightly lower on these new pixel phones. [SPEAKER_01]: I guess Google has some degree of confidence in them.
[SPEAKER_02]: For their sake, I hope that confidence is well placed. [SPEAKER_02]: Mystic Leaks also claims that the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL will be offered in two configurations. [SPEAKER_02]: One with the 12GB of RAM and the other with a 16GB of RAM. [SPEAKER_02]: Last year, Pixel 10 Pro's came standard with a 16GB of RAM, so I guess the RAM shortage has made its way down to the Pixel Phone.
[SPEAKER_02]: The pixel glow feature that I reported on a couple of episodes ago is predicted to make its debut on the Pixel 11 series. [SPEAKER_02]: Mystic leaks also claims that Google's answer to Apple's Face ID will not make it on to the Pixel lineup this year. [SPEAKER_02]: The technology for this feature is still being developed and not ready for prime time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Speaking that face unlock is security-based, I can understand why the big G does want to release this feature until it's fully baked. [SPEAKER_02]: Though it appears that this is yet another iterative upgrade, I feel that the new chips alone might bring a significant performance upgrade, which is a good thing. [SPEAKER_02]: I guess we'll find out Nogus if I'm right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Last week I talked about how Google has crammed their Google TV streaming box so full of ads that it's driving users away. [SPEAKER_02]: I also mentioned that Walmart's on-brand has a competing streamer which undercuts the price of Google TV by some $40. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, after a shaky start to the release of the On Pro streaming box, Android Authority reports that it's now available on Walmart's website and all stores for $60.
[SPEAKER_02]: For those 60 bucks you get 32 gigs of storage, three gigs of RAM, Wi-Fi 6, hands-free, focal control, and Gemini AI on board. [SPEAKER_02]: The Google device has four gigs vs. three gigs of the on device. [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't come across any review of the on-pro streaming box yet, so I wonder if that one gig of RAM will make it difference in performance. [SPEAKER_02]: I also wonder if on will overload the user's interface with ads like Google is being accused of.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, time will tell. [SPEAKER_02]: An article which appeared on Android Authority last week for the explains Google's strategy concerning Chrome and Android. [SPEAKER_02]: The article has helped me to better understand what Google is up to. [SPEAKER_02]: When first announced, the merging of Chrome OS and Android concerned me. [SPEAKER_02]: Chrome is a mature robust operating system.
[SPEAKER_02]: Android, while having similar characteristics, is sort of the wild west, with a different manufacturer's skinning and changing the basic operating system to fit their take on what they think Android should be. [SPEAKER_02]: Chrome is in has always been exactly what Google says it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Along with not understanding the purpose of aluminium, I really didn't know what the purpose [SPEAKER_02]: The article explains that Chrome will continue existing after the release of aluminium, but only for niche uses, and what are they? [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the big one is the education market, which just saw Chrome OS surpass windows as the operating system of choice for classrooms. [SPEAKER_02]: Wow!
[SPEAKER_02]: Supposedly, aluminium OS will offer a more immersive experience in Chrome, but Google hasn't told us how or why. [SPEAKER_02]: Perhaps we'll be learning more at this year's Google I.O. [SPEAKER_02]: The author of the article for season issue with Lominium though, and that's fragmentation. [SPEAKER_02]: Like I mentioned previously, manufacturers often skinned or alter Android, and there's evidence that this is already happening.
[SPEAKER_02]: Samsung is set to release a Galaxy laptop which runs aluminium OS. [SPEAKER_02]: However, it will also include Samsung's one UI and Galaxy AI. [SPEAKER_02]: And judging from the past history of Android OS, this can lead to incompatibility. [SPEAKER_02]: So let's hope that the big G comes up with a way to limit operating system level changes within Aluminium OS. [SPEAKER_02]: So what's the purpose of Android Desktop then?
[SPEAKER_02]: Android Desktop is a way to get a desktop-like experience for those with an Android ecosystem using just your phone. [SPEAKER_02]: It's also the most affordable way to do so. [SPEAKER_02]: One can just purchase a portable monitor for 50 bucks at a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combination for about 30 bucks, and you have a complete desktop computing solution.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I were just starting out in life, this would have been when I relied on until the day I was able to afford a laptop or desktop. [SPEAKER_02]: And laptop I would have chosen probably would have been one powered by aluminium OS. [SPEAKER_02]: I would already have been familiar with how to use it because of my experience with Android Desktop. [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I feel that Apple should launch an iOS desktop mode in order to compete with Google.
[SPEAKER_02]: With Apple's recent moves down market, without Android Desktop competitor, they'll be leaving money on the table, and we can't have that, can we? [UNKNOWN]: No! [SPEAKER_02]: I find myself excited about the future of both Aluminium and Android for the first time in a while. [SPEAKER_02]: Or as the cool kids say, it's been a minute. [SPEAKER_02]: No cap.
[SPEAKER_02]: This past Thursday morning, I received an email from Google, which heralded the new Fitbit Air Screenless Fitness Trackers release. [SPEAKER_02]: It also confirmed that the Fitbit Health App has been renamed to the Google Health App. [SPEAKER_02]: As previously reported, the FitBid Air will cost $99 and be available on May 26.
[SPEAKER_02]: The band or rather the removable tracker features an optical heart rate monitor, an accelerometer with a gyroscope, a skin temperature sensor, and sensored for reading blood oxygen levels. [SPEAKER_02]: And at standard fare these days, it will also be able to alert users of irregular heart rhythms and monitor heart rate variability. [SPEAKER_01]: So basically, most of the things a smart watch can do. [SPEAKER_02]: When it comes to health and fitness, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: The batteries rated for seven days, like their competitor product, the Woop Band, the Fitbit Air, comes with a textile band, but a sweatproof active silicone support band is available for $34.99. [SPEAKER_02]: The newly renamed Google Health app is available for both iOS and Android, sort of Fitbit Air is compatible with both major mobile operating systems. [SPEAKER_02]: If using Google's own platform, the van works in conjunction with the Pixel Smartwatch.
[SPEAKER_02]: How that works and what its advantages are weren't communicated with an email, or was I able to find out much online. [SPEAKER_02]: I noticed the absence of sleep tracking capability being touted, but I guess this considered a given these days. [SPEAKER_02]: I also question the naming scheme. [SPEAKER_02]: Google has shown that it intends to get rid of the Fitbit name brand, so wouldn't the Google Fitness Air Band or some derivative of that name have been better to use?
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe this product will be the last one bearing the Fitbit name that we'll ever see. [SPEAKER_02]: I sure wish Apple would come up with a similar fitness tracking band. [SPEAKER_02]: As previously mentioned, the Fitbit app has been renamed Google Health and launched along [SPEAKER_02]: This wasn't just a change in name, unfortunately. [SPEAKER_02]: According to Android Authority.com, the new Google Health app has dropped many features that the Fitbit app had.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, a lot of these features could be deemed unnecessary, but they were nice to have, and will be missed by consumers who are in the Fitbit Equal System. [SPEAKER_02]: It's always fun to earn badges for completing certain tasks or obtaining a goal. [SPEAKER_02]: I know I enjoy them, and they also serve to inspire me. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Google Health has discontinued awarding badges and will delete a user's history of them. [SPEAKER_04]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: Instead, the built-in AI chatbot will personally congratulate you on your progress and accomplishments. [SPEAKER_02]: I assume you'll have to subscribe to Google Health Plus for that treat. [SPEAKER_02]: You'll no longer be able to choose unique user names and profile pictures and support for direct messages, notifications, groups and community feeds have been dropped. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, what the hell? [SPEAKER_02]: No more fitness social experiences for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and child profiles can no longer add friends. [SPEAKER_05]: What? [SPEAKER_02]: I sort of understand that one. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, all social media platforms seem to be infested with the predators in these modern times in which we exist. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, some people barely exist. [SPEAKER_02]: You keep up that attitude, and you will no longer exist for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Apple no longer let you sit calorie targets, view detailed graphs regarding stress checks, and no more minute-to-minute-skimmed temperature data, just daily and weekly stats. [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not finished yet. [SPEAKER_02]: Instead of estimated oxygen variation levels, blood-oxygen data will be used instead. [SPEAKER_02]: In my limited understanding, estimated blood variation is a more detailed metric.
[SPEAKER_02]: The biggest deletion is the inability to connect to devices that monitor blood glucose levels. [SPEAKER_02]: This will negatively affect those that battle diabetes. [SPEAKER_02]: On the upside, you connect to third-party apps including Apple Health. [SPEAKER_01]: That's hardly an upside when you consider that in the past. [SPEAKER_01]: All of that data was available in one place. [SPEAKER_02]: Why is Google doing this?
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe a lot of these deleted features will be added back over time. [SPEAKER_02]: But in the meantime, I feel these deletions may drive many consumers to other fitness and health solutions. [SPEAKER_02]: And then there's Google's history of just continuing popular apps with no consideration for its users. [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a public service announcement for U.S. users of the Samsung Messages app.
[SPEAKER_02]: Samsung has announced that the end of a service date for this app is this July. [SPEAKER_02]: Again, this only applies to users of the app within the United States. [SPEAKER_02]: The company recommends to instead use Google Messages. [SPEAKER_02]: When I had Samsung Galaxy phones, and that was back in what I hear many referred to as being. [SPEAKER_02]: The day, I always swapped Samsung messages out in favor of Google Hangouts.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess Samsung has really given up on creating its own ecosystem within Android. [SPEAKER_02]: At least in the United States. [SPEAKER_02]: I still wish Samsung would have continued developing Tizen. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh? [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I guess I should explain. [SPEAKER_02]: Tizen was Samsung's attempt to develop its own mobile operating system. [SPEAKER_02]: The project drew many ex-symbian and mego developers, and that was when Nokia was bought and destroyed by Microsoft.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes. [SPEAKER_02]: Tyson was based on Linux and was open source. [SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, Tyson never gained momentum and Samsung threw in a towel back in 2021. [SPEAKER_02]: That's too bad because if Tyson had gained some traction, we wouldn't be stuck in this dual [SPEAKER_02]: I have the suite of productivity apps from Proton loaded on my iPhone. [SPEAKER_02]: Proton is based in Switzerland and is known for their dedication to privacy.
[SPEAKER_02]: The iOS suite is based around Proton Drive, which is the company's cloud storage solution. [SPEAKER_02]: Within Proton Drive, you can access Proton Docks, Wallet, and Cheats. [SPEAKER_02]: There are separate apps from ALVPN calendar password in Authenticator. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'll back, protonated its own AI app called Lumo. [SPEAKER_02]: I subscribe to the plus tier, but Proton has even higher and more expensive tiers available.
[SPEAKER_02]: In a perfect world, I would shift most of my stuff over to Proton but last. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm the only person that I know of that uses it. [SPEAKER_02]: I consider my subscription to Proton Suite as a donation because besides liking what the company is doing, the only apps I use are the email client and the VPN. [SPEAKER_02]: Mostly the VPN. [SPEAKER_02]: This past Wednesday, I received an email from Proton introducing their video conferencing client called Proton Meat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, how original. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's only a limited number of things you can call a video conferencing app, I guess. [SPEAKER_02]: The problem with Proton is that like other digital solutions, it's hard to gain a foothold amongst the larger, more established brands like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. [SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to convince friends and families to switch over. [SPEAKER_02]: Perhaps with the outflow of window users to Linux, Proton will find some more users.
[SPEAKER_02]: I bet most of Proton's current consumers are Linux users anyway. [SPEAKER_02]: Proton also has a limited free tier for most of their services. [SPEAKER_02]: Mac Rumors, who are quoting from Elika known as, wait for it, Shrouddinger, claims that Apple is working on a special iPhone.
[SPEAKER_02]: This spatial iPhone is supposed to be equipped with a holographic display that will offer glasses free 3D screens, which will use a refractive beam steering, sounds awfully Star Trek like to me. [SPEAKER_02]: This refractive beam steering works by using microscopic structures in the display layer to bend and redirect light to the viewer's eyes at precise angles in order to create the perception of depth. [UNKNOWN]: OK!
[SPEAKER_02]: The Leaker bases this on emails given to him by someone deeply involved in the project. [SPEAKER_02]: If true, something like this would be better fit for computer displays, me thinks. [SPEAKER_02]: Something like those futuristic displays and science fiction movies and shows, you know, the ones where you can interact with the display using your hands? [SPEAKER_02]: What do you think of this report? [SPEAKER_02]: All I know is that technology, such as this, is a bit of a ways off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Apple released the OS 26.5 release candidates for all of its devices this past week. [SPEAKER_02]: And that means for those of us not enrolled in the iOS beta program, is we should be getting the update later this month. [SPEAKER_02]: Just not much new to report being that 26.5 is just an incremental affair. [SPEAKER_02]: Or is it... [SPEAKER_02]: Well, iOS 26.5 begs to differ. [SPEAKER_02]: What's the deal with iOS?
[SPEAKER_02]: iOS 26.5 brings end to end encryption for RCS messages. [SPEAKER_02]: RCS stands for rich communication services and brings eye message like features along with it. [SPEAKER_02]: Apple was dragged kicking and screaming into providing RCS capability to iOS by European [SPEAKER_02]: But speaking of dragging, the giant fruit company has dragged its feet in regards to end-to-end encryption for RCS messages. [SPEAKER_02]: For our map, we're having to adopt Google's encryption method.
[SPEAKER_02]: Google previously proposed the company's own end-to-end encryption method become the RCS standard. [SPEAKER_02]: At the same time, Apple counter-propoles working with the RCS standards board for adoption of its standard. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Apple won out. [SPEAKER_02]: In 2025, GSMA, the parent of the RCS standards board announced a universal end-to-end encryption standard. [SPEAKER_02]: With iOS 26.5, iPhone users will finally get into end-to-end encryption for RCS messages.
[SPEAKER_02]: However, other Apple devices still don't have RCS message capability. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm looking at you, Mac OS. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and all this is a good deal, especially for iPhone users that have contacts that use the Android mobile operating system. [SPEAKER_02]: There have been rumors swirling around the intertubes that Apple will not be releasing the base model iPhone to alongside the Pro Models. [SPEAKER_02]: These rumors have been circulating for months now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Instead Apple will either hold a spray event announcing the base iPhone alongside the new E-Series phone, along with other products. [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe just do press releases announcing these phones. [SPEAKER_02]: Who knows? [SPEAKER_02]: Leaker fixed focus digital, who does have some credits amongst the tech press.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's posted that this September's iPhone event will only feature the foldable iPhone Ultra, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, and perhaps the iPhone Air 2. [SPEAKER_02]: Unless the new model iPhone Air adds a camera or gets some other redesign, I'm still thinking it will be introduced next spring. [SPEAKER_02]: Then again, judging by the little sales volume of the iPhone Air, Apple probably has a lot of spare parts laying around.
[SPEAKER_02]: It will probably throw a few new chips into them and call it a day. [SPEAKER_02]: I still believe that Apple will discontinue the iPhone Air line after this year. [SPEAKER_02]: If Apple did add a camera to the air, I think they'd need more time to produce it. [SPEAKER_02]: So a spring introduction would make more sense. [SPEAKER_02]: But what do you really know? [SPEAKER_02]: Right. [SPEAKER_02]: What I do know is I found that the older I become, the less I actually know.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as a matter of fact, the less I actually care to know. [SPEAKER_02]: There's also a rumor going around that Apple will be downgrading the base model iPhone to more resemble the e-series of iPhones, or perhaps upgrade the e-series to more resemble the base iPhone. [SPEAKER_02]: Either way, this rumor also doesn't make sense to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: The e-series of iPhones replace the beloved SE series of phones, which were basically [SPEAKER_02]: Don't you think new being added was the latest A-Series chip? [SPEAKER_02]: This year's base iPhone 17 blew it out of the water. [SPEAKER_02]: It featured a dynamic island in a Pro-Motion screen. [SPEAKER_02]: Why would Apple backtrack on what probably is their best selling iPhone?
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I can see the iPhone E-Series getting a dynamic island, but not a Pro-Motion display with a 120Hz refresh rate. [SPEAKER_02]: They'll even at 60Hz. [SPEAKER_02]: Tech I'm using, well it's nothing new regarding new tech to report on, and my bank account is just fine with this. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, thinking about getting a new Mac mini in the near future, but the RAM shortage has thrown a damper on that plan.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm now looking at late 27 or maybe early 28 before I get serious about an upgrade. [SPEAKER_02]: With all this talk about price increases, shortages and even downgrading of technology, I might skip that 20th Anniversary iPhone and go directly to buying an Apple Watch Ultra and an A-Based or E-Series iPhone. [SPEAKER_02]: We'll see. [SPEAKER_02]: But yet again, the Android Authority.com believes that this war is just about over in Google has won.
[SPEAKER_02]: This declaration is based upon Google's first quarter earnings call, in which CEO Sundar Pachai announced that YouTube had reached a new milestone. [SPEAKER_01]: That YouTube has the most AI-generated slopp of any other streaming platform. [SPEAKER_02]: No, he didn't admit to that, but he did announce that YouTube gained 25 million premium subscribers during the first quarter alone. [SPEAKER_02]: I'd wager the majority of those new subscribers, chose the YouTube premium like tier.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm thinking of downgrading my own regular premium subscription to the like tier. [SPEAKER_02]: This subscriber growth was described as the largest quarterly increase since the launch [SPEAKER_02]: Google's chief business officer, Philip Schindler of Schindler's list fame. [SPEAKER_05]: What? [SPEAKER_02]: I just told finance network a CNBC that YouTube-papescriptions have become a biggest source of revenue than ads on the platform.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just hope that other streaming platforms that have a paid ad tier won't follow YouTube lead and start jamming an unbearable amount of ads within their programming. [SPEAKER_02]: In order to force subscribers to upgrade to the more expensive ad free tiers, Amazon's prime video use this tactic and it will sure work on me as I upgraded to the ad free tier. [SPEAKER_02]: Currently, the only paid ad supported streaming service I have is HBO Max.
[SPEAKER_02]: So far, they've been keeping the intrusiveness of ads to a tolerable level. [SPEAKER_02]: Just like ad supported Prime Video used to be. [SPEAKER_02]: As my AI co-host mentioned earlier, YouTube is bike cracking down recently, still has a big AI slot problem. [SPEAKER_02]: If they want to keep their subscribers, YouTube better do as good of a job as they have [SPEAKER_02]: The problem is, you tube has no serious competition.
[SPEAKER_02]: I checked out rumble all last week and unfortunately it still amateur our on that platform. [SPEAKER_02]: And don't even get me started on Twitch, which should rename themselves to the economy, Simp, and Guner Network. [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of that, have you noticed that most of these so-called e-girls on Twitch sort of resemble each other? [SPEAKER_02]: Either their Asian or some sort of Asian mix. [SPEAKER_02]: Wonder what's up with that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you gooning or simping for them? [SPEAKER_02]: Will besides being too old for that sort of stuff, I've got my own Asian woman. [SPEAKER_02]: I have no further need for any others. [SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't afford any more either. [SPEAKER_02]: Podcast News. [SPEAKER_02]: The rush towards video is still ongoing within the world of podcasting, but there are signs that it may be slowing down.
[SPEAKER_02]: The first reason is that some of the larger podcasts aren't seeing the promise pot of gold at the end of the video rainbow that they were promised. [SPEAKER_02]: Some shows have even switched back to being audio only. [SPEAKER_02]: Another big reason is that these video platforms don't use the standard RSS feed, which podcast distribution has always relied on.
[SPEAKER_02]: When you upload your video podcast to, let's say YouTube, it'll be converted into a proprietary format that's to be expected. [SPEAKER_01]: Where's the problem? [SPEAKER_02]: Well, if you want to distribute an audio only version of your podcast, you'll have to record two different file formats, one for MP3 and one for YouTube, and on Spotify, you're locked in. [SPEAKER_02]: According to podnews.net, if you upload a Spotify, you're locked into your hosting service.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once you sign up for Spotify, you apparently can't switch hosting services in the future. [SPEAKER_02]: That's because Spotify converts your RSS feed into an API distribution and it can't be undone. [SPEAKER_02]: This limits your choices when it comes to monetization options. [SPEAKER_02]: You might be able to make more money with another hosting service, but you won't be able to simply move your show over.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know about you, but I don't like to be limited in my options. [SPEAKER_02]: As the pod father, Adam Curry says, if your podcast doesn't have an RSS feed, it's not a podcast. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sticking with audio only and hoped to eventually go add free. [SPEAKER_02]: And that all depends on how my tax bill goes next year. [SPEAKER_02]: Wink, wink. [SPEAKER_02]: I need those right-offs, don't you know. [SPEAKER_02]: The music is playing, an episode 320 is starting its end.
[SPEAKER_02]: What have dunked at this little show would survive this long? [SPEAKER_02]: Arriving is another matter. [SPEAKER_02]: I hope you enjoyed this episode.
[SPEAKER_02]: I enjoyed making it for you But like what you heard you can make a donation using the link in the show notes And the in all donations will be greatly appreciated You could always reach me at lfntpodcast at gmail.com if you're so inclined I didn't join hearing from you Remember don't listen to what they say [SPEAKER_02]: watch what they do. [SPEAKER_02]: Now the weather is sure is nice, but you have something better to do, so get off my lawn. [SPEAKER_02]: Stayes get the call.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ah, I'm out. [SPEAKER_02]: See, uh, and that folks is the end of the show. [SPEAKER_03]: If you would like to contact the OFNT podcast, you can do so by sending an email to
