00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.880
all right let's go live and [ __ ] about

2
00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:06.640
Microsoft

3
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:08.920
definitely Microsoft is such a pain in

4
00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:10.679
the neck man they cram an update down

5
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.080
your throat in the middle of the [ __ ]

6
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.440
night a secret one and everything is all

7
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:16.880
screwed up on your computer that you

8
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:19.520
left open and your sound doesn't work

9
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:21.039
correctly anymore because they thought

10
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.480
no you know we don't like the way you

11
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.680
have your sound configured perfectly we

12
00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:27.080
think we it it works better this

13
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:30.800
way yeah yeah no and I don't know if any

14
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:32.279
of our listeners out there have had this

15
00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:34.680
kind of issue but my daughter she has a

16
00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:38.440
touchscreen laptop and after this update

17
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:42.239
her laptop thinks it's a tablet and it

18
00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:44.800
it identifies as a tablet it it does not

19
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:47.559
like the keyboard it it will allow the

20
00:00:47.559 --> 00:00:49.760
keyboard now but it is not like a

21
00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:51.800
keyboard and it does not accept the

22
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:56.399
mouse at all she has to plug in a extra

23
00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:00.079
Mouse and we're afraid to turn off the

24
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.120
tablet mode because what if we can't

25
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:04.760
turn it back

26
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.640
on so we're afraid to try that I don't

27
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.840
know what to say yeah so it from what I

28
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.520
like I said I'd love to hear back from

29
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:17.280
any of our listeners out there if anyone

30
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.240
bothers listening to this cuz you know

31
00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:21.119
it'd be really nice to hear somebody

32
00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:22.560
else who's gone through this maybe they

33
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.119
have an answer that that would be great

34
00:01:24.119 --> 00:01:25.880
cuz so far as I can tell everywhere I've

35
00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:27.720
looked I haven't really found an answer

36
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:29.520
just most people have found that it kind

37
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.439
of correct itself after a while no some

38
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.000
people they do like a hard restart some

39
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.520
people had to do a hard reset like it's

40
00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:43.960
yeah it sounds like Windows is just not

41
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:47.040
recognizing the drivers

42
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.159
correctly I've never heard of a computer

43
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.479
deciding to identify as a tablet before

44
00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:54.000
well it's an interesting experience if

45
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.479
it's got tablet mode in the

46
00:01:56.479 --> 00:01:58.360
computer it sounds like it's not

47
00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:01.240
recognizing the drivers for computer

48
00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:03.439
mode yeah we tried updating those

49
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.399
drivers nothing happened yeah well like

50
00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:06.960
I said like all all the drivers it's

51
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:09.119
just not recognizing them it's going I I

52
00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:10.280
don't know what you're throwing at me I

53
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:11.800
don't care update it to your heart's

54
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.120
content I still don't understand

55
00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:18.959
it or it's just or it's just Microsoft's

56
00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:20.959
AI poking at you you know because they

57
00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:23.160

58
00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:25.560
throats so Cortana or whatever the hell

59
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.040

00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.280

74
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.319

God yeah and this whole uh sneaking the

79
00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:16.440
updates into your computer your computer

80
00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:18.879
doesn't restart anymore or I don't know

81
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.080
what they're doing but they're throwing

82
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.239
the updates in in such a way that the

83
00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:23.840
only way you can tell that there was an

84
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.959
update is you have to relog into your

85
00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:30.400
password thing and re and like re uh

86
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.720
reload things like nothing is closed

87
00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:35.159
nothing was closed everything was all on

88
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.360
my Center monitor all the stuff I had

89
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:38.920
spread out on my other three monitors

90
00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:40.560
was all on my Center monitor I'm like

91
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.200
what the hell and then I went to play

92
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:44.920
something it's like why don't I have no

93
00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:47.680
sound and I look okay my sound's Chang

94
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.200
okay Microsoft cramed an update down my

95
00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:50.720
throat because that's usually how I know

96
00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:52.280
when they cram an update down my throat

97
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.959
is when sound is all screwed sneaky yeah

98
00:03:54.959 --> 00:03:56.720
that is sneaky they just they just sneak

99
00:03:56.720 --> 00:03:58.239
in do nothing but change all your

100
00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:00.120
settings and cram an update down without

101
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.519
rebooting

102
00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:04.079
yeah

103
00:04:04.079 --> 00:04:07.040
yeah yeah which is scary un to its own

104
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:09.400
right I have to admit though they are

105
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.760
rolling pretty well for the sneak

106
00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:14.200
attack they're getting high stats for

107
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:17.959
that yeah well it's still

108
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.479
irritating oh also ego says her screen

109
00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:22.639
is sometimes laid out differently so

110
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.479
yeah okay I haven't really seen that on

111
00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:26.000
the air like I'll still have stuff on

112
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.039
all three of my monitors and then they

113
00:04:29.039 --> 00:04:31.360
haven't changed just that things like uh

114
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.479
my my word documents that I have open I

115
00:04:33.479 --> 00:04:35.240
have to refresh them but they haven't

116
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.680
shut down or uh like if I have the

117
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.880
internet open I have to resign in to my

118
00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:43.759
password account

119
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.240
yeah it's like the only thing that in my

120
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.039
sound why the sound I have no idea

121
00:04:49.039 --> 00:04:50.320
they've been doing that for a couple of

122
00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.440
years now it started a few years back

123
00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:54.600
when we had massive sound issues on the

124
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.000
computer I had everything working and

125
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.560
then they suddenly and I couldn't get

126
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.160
around all their updates until it

127
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.800
finally started working

128
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.160
again oh one more thing that I started

129
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.560
noticing

130
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.160
um for some reason every time that they

131
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.400
do this update now uh I have Edge

132
00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:16.919
popping up as my automatic one even

133
00:05:16.919 --> 00:05:19.560
though in my settings I have it set

134
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.319
right now I like Opera so I'm using

135
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.280
Opera so I have it set as Opera is my

136
00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:25.960
automatic one but I go and quick link

137
00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:28.400
and Edge pops up yeah okay that's new I

138
00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:30.240
haven't had that problem yeah

139
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.240
I I had to go and find a way around that

140
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:33.639
there's like a secret setting that you

141
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.080
don't have immediate access to it's very

142
00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:40.720
irritating yeah it is it is very

143
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.360
irritating yeah well enough bitching

144
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.960

you now next thing I have here is Google

370
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.319
grip loosens in Europe and what it means

371
00:16:27.319 --> 00:16:29.199
for your website so this is a a good

372
00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:31.079
article I came across it came out on

373
00:16:31.079 --> 00:16:33.000
December 5th so it's little old but

374
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.720
still very important to know about uh

375
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.199
it's especially important for people who

376
00:16:37.199 --> 00:16:39.040
are working through their SEO this

377
00:16:39.040 --> 00:16:41.399
article goes through and explains why

378
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.440
Google is losing their grip in Europe

379
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.519
and they talk about um they talk about

380
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.000
what the future is likely to hold and

381
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.399
they give some great suggestions on how

382
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.199
to optimize for other search engines cuz

383
00:16:54.199 --> 00:16:57.720
with Google losing its grip for your SEO

384
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.920
you're going to want to oper opiz for as

385
00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:02.720
many different uh search engines as

386
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.240
possible in North America we are still

387
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.000
very much Google

388
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.000
oriented however if they're losing their

389
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.319
grip in Europe we may see them starting

390
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.959
to lose their grip a bit over here as

391
00:17:14.959 --> 00:17:16.240
well

392
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:20.640
so well there is a loss in Google

393
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.199
because of the things Google's done

394
00:17:22.199 --> 00:17:23.799
their core updates there's a there's

395
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.760
been a loss for people that that do

396
00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:28.960
blogging in particular mhm they've had

397
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.200
to start switching to focusing on other

398
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.120
search engines and uh I can't remember

399
00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:37.840
the names of them now but it is

400
00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:40.120
important yeah there's there's been some

401
00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:42.760
serious issues the last three major

402
00:17:42.760 --> 00:17:46.120
updates over 2024 it seriously impacted

403
00:17:46.120 --> 00:17:47.120
people's

404
00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:49.520
SEO so yeah people are starting to get a

405
00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:54.120
little sick of it I think yep they

406
00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:58.440

yeah so yeah it is a good thing and the

417
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:26.280
information in this article is good to

418
00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:28.360
have especially if you are a WP engine

419
00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:29.960
user

420
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.360
um they do go through the various uh the

421
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:36.880
the various aspects of what's going

422
00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:40.880
on okay we just stumbled on you where'd

423
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.400
you go yeah sorry

424
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.679
um no bring the brain back all right

425
00:18:47.679 --> 00:18:50.000
well the the article explains all the

426
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.600
things that WP engine asked for and uh

427
00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:55.760
receive from the courts and Matt had to

428
00:18:55.760 --> 00:18:59.039
back down from his um

429
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.799
um craziness for lack of a better term

430
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:03.960
so good article read he had to back down

431
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.360
he had to give him what they were

432
00:19:05.360 --> 00:19:07.120
actually needing hopefully this means

433
00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:09.080
the stability is going to return to both

434
00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:11.840
the wp engine users and the WordPress

435
00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:13.559
Community as well the stability is going

436
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.039
to hold there until the court case is

437
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:17.159
decided

438
00:19:17.159 --> 00:19:20.000
now okay and the court case the court

439
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.679
case is now going to take anywhere from

440
00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:23.440
a year to two years to

441
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.919
complete you know so that's all this was

442
00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:29.320
was to prevent him from doing and

443
00:19:29.320 --> 00:19:31.919
interfering in their business while the

444
00:19:31.919 --> 00:19:34.120
court case went through because it was

445
00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:35.760
just it was it was literal interference

446
00:19:35.760 --> 00:19:37.400
in a business it's like you know

447
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:39.000
somebody tells you you got to you got to

448
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.480
move and you start punching holes in the

449
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.799
wall because you have to move that's

450
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.000
basically what it boils down to so yeah

451
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.520
but they but when they took it to court

452
00:19:46.520 --> 00:19:48.640
and they won he had to reverse all that

453
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:50.280
all the hole punch he had to put patches

454
00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:53.400
back up and now it's there so WP engine

455
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:55.480
has got their stability until the court

456
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.640
case is decided depends on which way it

457
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.080
goes and that's going to take anywhere

458
00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:02.520
from a year to two years because courts

459
00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:04.919
move

460
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.919
slow so the next thing I have up here is

461
00:20:07.919 --> 00:20:11.200
WP engine Cuts weekly contributing hours

462
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.440
to wordpress.org by 99% no no no you got

463
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.080
that you got that wrong you did change

464
00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:20.039
that title WordPress

465
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.760
automatic um cut the hours not WP engine

466
00:20:23.760 --> 00:20:24.919
it

467
00:20:24.919 --> 00:20:27.840
says automatic oh I must I completely

468
00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:30.280
misread that I apologize my bad

469
00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:32.480
automatic I I I got to get that title

470
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.440
right because WP engine's not cutting

471
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.880
nothing it's it was automatic it was

472
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.919
Matt going you know what I'm yeah GNA do

473
00:20:39.919 --> 00:20:42.039
something else here to think I'm going

474
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:43.880
to cut my hours down so this this is

475
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.600
another interesting article about what

476
00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:50.400
he did no why he did it he he got some

477
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.200
of Matt's information in there but in

478
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.440
the end is just that Matt decided to

479
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.000
pull something else that he could get

480
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.880
away with

481
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:01.000
well what I wanted to bring to

482
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.120
everyone's attention is how this could

483
00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:06.640
affect you and like I don't know if this

484
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.280
is something that's going to actually be

485
00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:09.640
sustainable I don't think it's going to

486
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:11.080
be permanent I think it's going to be

487
00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:12.799
shortterm that's my personal opinion

488
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.919
that seems to be a lot of people's

489
00:21:13.919 --> 00:21:16.679
opinions but in the meantime there is

490
00:21:16.679 --> 00:21:17.919
going to be damage that's going to be

491
00:21:17.919 --> 00:21:19.799
done there's going to be security and

492
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:22.960
development concerns there's going to be

493
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.600
uh like critical information and

494
00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:27.039
infrastructure like there there's going

495
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:28.720
to be things that are going to happen

496
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.480
that could affect your site so be aware

497
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:34.720
and don't just brush off things that are

498
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.720
starting to act a little funny make sure

499
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:38.640
you pay attention to them and fix

500
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:45.080
whatever you can yeah so it's I go ahead

501
00:21:45.080 --> 00:21:46.520
I just wanted to bring this to people's

502
00:21:46.520 --> 00:21:48.520
attention how it could affect your site

503
00:21:48.520 --> 00:21:51.080
it's a good article to go over yeah in

504
00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:51.799
the

505
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:54.440
end it's going to have the impact

506
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.799
biggest impact it's going to have is

507
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.440
that automatic was the biggest

508
00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.919
contributor to the core WordPress core

509
00:21:59.919 --> 00:22:02.880
files and whatever plugins they support

510
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:06.120
because of course the WordPress core is

511
00:22:06.120 --> 00:22:09.120
what runs wordpress.com automatics

512
00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:11.880
company and so in the end they'll have

513
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.600
to go back to putting time back into the

514
00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:18.480
core to help ensure that they stay valid

515
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.840
and running

516
00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:25.360
so yeah do do be sure to go and read

517
00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:27.039
this over it has a lot of really good

518
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.799
information okay

519
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:32.080
and the last one I have for today is

520
00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:35.360
employees enter sensitive data into gen

521
00:22:35.360 --> 00:22:38.200
AI prompts far too

522
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.440
often so this is actually becoming a

523
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.159
real issue people are putting in

524
00:22:45.159 --> 00:22:48.720
sensitive uh sensitive work stuff into

525
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.320
the that into the AI generator like

526
00:22:51.320 --> 00:22:53.520
everything you put into this it can use

527
00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:56.080
and it's not just the training of the AI

528
00:22:56.080 --> 00:22:58.080
that you're doing the people who control

529
00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:01.000
it now have access to this information

530
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.159
so putting in that sensitive private

531
00:23:04.159 --> 00:23:06.120
delicate information from your company

532
00:23:06.120 --> 00:23:08.840
is not a good idea no it would not be a

533
00:23:08.840 --> 00:23:12.320
good idea no I just thought it was you

534
00:23:12.320 --> 00:23:15.039
know a good idea to bring this to people

535
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.200
and suggest that you if you really need

536
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.679
to use the AI generator to help you with

537
00:23:20.679 --> 00:23:22.799
your sensitive

538
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.440
work change the the the facts I

539
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.159
guess change it get the idea change of

540
00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:31.039
facts don't give away your company

541
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.400
Secrets

542
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.960
yep all right or your own secrets for

543
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.200
that matter all

544
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:41.840
right so I guess we have one we need we

545
00:23:41.840 --> 00:23:44.279
need a little we need a little jingle

546
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.840
from my for for me here you know it's

547
00:23:46.840 --> 00:23:49.039
like we'll go with this one that's true

548
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.120
there you go all right I was going to

549
00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:53.039
suggest that you record your dog barking

550
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.200
or whining and have his his sound for

551
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.240
this corner this is more his Corner than

552
00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:59.080
your corner I can do that next time he's

553
00:23:59.080 --> 00:24:01.520
barking and whining at me he's being

554
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:03.760
quiet now he's sleeping by he's guarding

555
00:24:03.760 --> 00:24:06.520
the front door right now

556
00:24:06.520 --> 00:24:10.159
ah okay um well I got a few articles

557
00:24:10.159 --> 00:24:11.960
here talking about a few things the

558
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.679
first one here is a big security uh risk

559
00:24:14.679 --> 00:24:19.440
out there now a fishing plugin has been

560
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.799
discovered in the wild now this isn't a

561
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.159
plugin you can download anywhere

562
00:24:24.159 --> 00:24:26.919
fortunately but what it is is it's a

563
00:24:26.919 --> 00:24:28.919
malware from a Russian hacking group

564
00:24:28.919 --> 00:24:30.799
when they hack a WordPress website they

565
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.440
stuff this plugin into your WordPress

566
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.720
website and it creates fishing Pages

567
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:39.320
it's a very interesting article read and

568
00:24:39.320 --> 00:24:42.279
what it also does is it they do it in

569
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.600
particular hunting down e-commerce

570
00:24:44.600 --> 00:24:47.039
websites and they

571
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.279
intercept your payment page so that when

572
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:52.799
people go to pay out through your

573
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:54.640
processor it goes to their payment page

574
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:56.480
they collect your data it goes into real

575
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:58.000
time they automatically start stealing

576
00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:59.679
the credit CR card and using it as fast

577
00:24:59.679 --> 00:25:01.440
as they can because they know there's a

578
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:04.279
limited lifespan on stolen credit

579
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:06.840
cards and uh yeah this is a very

580
00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:08.640
interesting article so make sure you

581
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.080
keep your website

582
00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:12.880
secure as the best as possible but this

583
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:14.840
is a really interesting article and read

584
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:17.039
the fact that they went to the trouble

585
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.520
of creating a plugin to do

586
00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:21.600
this so

587
00:25:21.600 --> 00:25:23.559
yeah so I thought that was an

588
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:25.240
interesting little tidbit people want

589
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.320
need to know about good question for you

590
00:25:28.320 --> 00:25:31.039
mhm uh hon wants to know if you download

591
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.799
an llm to your local machine and set up

592
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:35.960
AI there is it then private like my

593
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:37.799
thoughts are that it's not private

594
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:39.279
unless it's fully disconnected from the

595
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:41.000
internet and can no longer upload or

596
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.720
receive updates that would be my guess

597
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:46.120
too my my guess is if it's on your

598
00:25:46.120 --> 00:25:47.679
machine it's connected to the internet

599
00:25:47.679 --> 00:25:49.679
and it's got access to all your drives

600
00:25:49.679 --> 00:25:51.799
and all your files and all your whatever

601
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.000
you have on your computer that it can

602
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.279
then scroll through it all open and

603
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.880
close stuff to its heart content and

604
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:01.240
then it can share it off to its Home

605
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:04.080
Place although if you did download it

606
00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:05.840
and onto a machine that you never

607
00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:07.240
connect to the internet that would be

608
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:09.159
totally private yep that would be to

609
00:26:09.159 --> 00:26:10.720
that that is literally the only way you

610
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.399
can guarantee to be totally private now

611
00:26:12.399 --> 00:26:14.279
is to not be connected to the internet

612
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:15.480
once you're connected to the internet

613
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:16.720
you're not I mean after all our

614
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:18.320
discussion on Microsoft sneaking into

615
00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:20.440
your computer and cramming an update

616
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.640
down tells you that your computers

617
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:24.720
because that hole that's there that they

618
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.640
use to do that is a hole if somebody

619
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.960
evil gets a hold of that hole imagine

620
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:32.039
what they can cram what they can cram

621
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:35.080
into your computer yeah you know it's

622
00:26:35.080 --> 00:26:38.159
like people think oh these are great

623
00:26:38.159 --> 00:26:40.480
until somebody evil gets hold of it and

624
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:43.039
uses it wrong

625
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.000
so yeah unfortunately there is nothing

626
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:49.120
there all right got some other news here

627
00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:52.039
uh we predicted back in our either

628
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:53.880
Christmas or New Year's show about the

629
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:56.679
rise of new repos well it's coming to

630
00:26:56.679 --> 00:26:58.520
pass

631
00:26:58.520 --> 00:27:02.960
fellow over here at um James welb well

632
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.320
James James WBS he's created a plugin

633
00:27:07.320 --> 00:27:09.960
for um the

634
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.279
repo and he's got a website called the

635
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.600
rep.org and what this plugin does is it

636
00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:18.919
allows you to start downloading plugins

637
00:27:18.919 --> 00:27:20.960
directly from

638
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.679
GitHub this are the beginnings of what

639
00:27:23.679 --> 00:27:27.399
we talked about in distributed repos and

640
00:27:27.399 --> 00:27:29.559
the choice of rep post for your West

641
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.000
website so this is happening folks it's

642
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.279
going to come and it's going to get

643
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.760
better and better and he's already

644
00:27:35.760 --> 00:27:39.880
building out a a a re repository and his

645
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:41.519
plug-in allows you to get plugins

646
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:43.120
directly from the repository or from the

647
00:27:43.120 --> 00:27:44.159
GitHub

648
00:27:44.159 --> 00:27:46.519
repository so more and more of that is

649
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:48.000
coming down the pike I just put an

650
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:51.440
article up on WP Pro A to Z of my

651
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.159
predictions with some links to other

652
00:27:53.159 --> 00:27:55.000
repos and other things of what's coming

653
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.880
down the

654
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:58.240
pike I'm actually really excited to give

655
00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:59.720
this ago I haven't downloaded it yet and

656
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.519
tried it but I do want to try it cuz it

657
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.320
will just make life so much easier in

658
00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:07.120
general yeah well there's a lot of

659
00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:09.960
things that are changing if if if

660
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.720
Matt's Tantrums have done nothing else

661
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.519
they've made everyone reink the entire

662
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:16.840
ecosystem for

663
00:28:16.840 --> 00:28:20.519
WordPress yes and how it and how it is

664
00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:21.440
all

665
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.399
right here's something else at that was

666
00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:26.440
created over the holidays people

667
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:27.840
suddenly discovered when Matt was

668
00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:29.640
talking talking about all this different

669
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:32.880
information about like he all these

670
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:34.760
different things he had knowledge about

671
00:28:34.760 --> 00:28:36.559
everybody's WordPress websites a lot of

672
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:37.960
people used to think he was just talking

673
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:38.679
about

674
00:28:38.679 --> 00:28:42.519
wordpress.com well not so much it turns

675
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:44.640
out not only does WordPress call home

676
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:46.840
with a a few key components it calls

677
00:28:46.840 --> 00:28:50.120
home with a whole lot of stuff about

678
00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:52.360
your website so people have started

679
00:28:52.360 --> 00:28:55.320
creating plugins to block that

680
00:28:55.320 --> 00:28:57.919
information from leaving your website

681
00:28:57.919 --> 00:29:00.399
this is which is fair which is fair you

682
00:29:00.399 --> 00:29:02.240
know this is one of the first ones it's

683
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.159
the hide your Matt it's the hide your

684
00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:06.760
website for Matt Mullen wig it's a

685
00:29:06.760 --> 00:29:09.640
really good article on it talks about it

686
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:10.919
and I've seen a couple of different

687
00:29:10.919 --> 00:29:12.760
plugins I followed some of this stuff

688
00:29:12.760 --> 00:29:15.200
and I forgot to copy all of the links

689
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:16.720
when I was following it through the

690
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.279
holidays there was a lot going on during

691
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:21.039
the holiday season in the early part of

692
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:24.720
January around WordPress not just not

693
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:26.919
just Matt and his things but every time

694
00:29:26.919 --> 00:29:28.880
he did something it made every body

695
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.200
rethink everything that's going

696
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:34.279
on and they've got all kinds of

697
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:35.919
different events and notifications

698
00:29:35.919 --> 00:29:37.919
leaving your website being reported back

699
00:29:37.919 --> 00:29:41.080
to wordpress.com or.org and they're

700
00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:42.919
collecting that data what they do with

701
00:29:42.919 --> 00:29:45.360
that data who knows but of course

702
00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:46.640
probably somewhere in the terms of

703
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.279
service when you agree to use WordPress

704
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:50.840
software you agree to it which is like

705
00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:52.880
everything they they got so many things

706
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.519
in terms of service nobody ever reads

707
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:56.960
them I still won't forget the story I

708
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:58.360
don't know if it's true or not but there

709
00:29:58.360 --> 00:30:00.880
was a story back in the early 2000s

710
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:01.960
around

711
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.440
20012 that a company to prove that

712
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:06.120
nobody ever read the terms of service

713
00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:08.399
they put a small line in there it said

714
00:30:08.399 --> 00:30:10.080
if you read all of this we're giving out

715
00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:12.840
$10,000 to the to the first five people

716
00:30:12.840 --> 00:30:14.039
that claimed it's

717
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:16.240
$10,000 and their software was

718
00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:18.399
downloaded hundreds of thousands of

719
00:30:18.399 --> 00:30:22.600
times and they had one person claim the

720
00:30:22.600 --> 00:30:25.679
money so I don't know how true it is but

721
00:30:25.679 --> 00:30:27.600
you know it's one of those one of those

722
00:30:27.600 --> 00:30:29.840
stories that makes the

723
00:30:29.840 --> 00:30:32.760
rounds other thing

724
00:30:32.760 --> 00:30:36.039
here we've got um okay here's where you

725
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.640
can get the uh plugin from GitHub it's

726
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.600
called the wp anti API privacy plugin

727
00:30:42.600 --> 00:30:44.200
and it talks about all of it so I have

728
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:45.360
the links in the show notes where you

729
00:30:45.360 --> 00:30:46.880
can go get the plugin you need from what

730
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:49.080
we just talked

731
00:30:49.080 --> 00:30:52.320
about okay there is an interesting

732
00:30:52.320 --> 00:30:56.320
letter that was put out um to ask for

733
00:30:56.320 --> 00:31:00.080
reform in WordPress and this word this

734
00:31:00.080 --> 00:31:03.120
letter here was signed by the top by 20

735
00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:06.159
of the top people in WordPress only two

736
00:31:06.159 --> 00:31:09.559
of them came out publicly but according

737
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:12.679
to the repository the other 18 were

738
00:31:12.679 --> 00:31:14.919
verified that they were actually signing

739
00:31:14.919 --> 00:31:18.320
this letter so 18 people and the reason

740
00:31:18.320 --> 00:31:19.559
of course they didn't want to say

741
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:21.720
anything is for fear of Retribution for

742
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:24.720
coming out public this is a shame that

743
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.440
the community or the wordpress. or

744
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.519
wordpress.org Community has got that

745
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.240
much that much fear power over people

746
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.919
but it is a very good letter to read and

747
00:31:35.919 --> 00:31:37.840
understand what they're asking for a

748
00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:40.600
change in government some transparency

749
00:31:40.600 --> 00:31:42.399
some change in other miscellaneous

750
00:31:42.399 --> 00:31:43.960
things that have not been going on for

751
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:47.919
some time our bdfl is no longer working

752
00:31:47.919 --> 00:31:51.080
for WordPress it's time to change the

753
00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:54.279
benevolent dictator for life and uh go

754
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:57.480
into a new kind of uh organization

755
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:58.840
system

756
00:31:58.840 --> 00:32:01.120
so this is an interesting

757
00:32:01.120 --> 00:32:03.519
article and of course it really is I did

758
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:05.200
give that a read it's definitely worth

759
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.639
looking over yeah of course the other

760
00:32:07.639 --> 00:32:08.760
one we're talking about we've talked

761
00:32:08.760 --> 00:32:10.159
about the different repositories

762
00:32:10.159 --> 00:32:13.399
appearing here's one here at uh

763
00:32:13.399 --> 00:32:15.039
shift.org

764
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.039
shift wp.png

765
00:32:28.159 --> 00:32:31.000
a juniper author it's a WordPress plugin

766
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.200
to manage plug-in and theme ownership on

767
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:35.159
various platforms so if you're a plug if

768
00:32:35.159 --> 00:32:37.639
you're a Plugin or it's a if you're a

769
00:32:37.639 --> 00:32:39.159
Plugin or theme developer this is

770
00:32:39.159 --> 00:32:41.000
something you can help include into your

771
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:42.600
plugins and themes so that people can

772
00:32:42.600 --> 00:32:45.559
get their get their plug-in

773
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.120
elsewhere so we got all I remember when

774
00:32:49.120 --> 00:32:51.480
GitHub oh sorry go ahead when when

775
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.600
GitHub I remember when GitHub started uh

776
00:32:54.600 --> 00:32:56.480
nobody uh people started helping each

777
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.039
other out with like coding and stuff on

778
00:32:58.039 --> 00:32:59.760
there but I said that I thought

779
00:32:59.760 --> 00:33:01.159
eventually it was going to end up being

780
00:33:01.159 --> 00:33:02.880
a place where people go to get answers

781
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:04.600
for everything having to do with any

782
00:33:04.600 --> 00:33:06.600
kind of tech yeah it's kind of cool to

783
00:33:06.600 --> 00:33:08.720
see that now it's like the beginning of

784
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.480
of the new repository and everything

785
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:12.200
it's it's really cool to have been able

786
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.000
to watch that grow MH it has been

787
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:17.120
interesting it's uh definitely uh doing

788
00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:18.919
along greater I found out a couple of

789
00:33:18.919 --> 00:33:21.120
days ago github's owned by

790
00:33:21.120 --> 00:33:24.440
Microsoft really yeah I didn't know that

791
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:26.720
me either yeah Microsoft's behind it

792
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:28.760
because I used to use bit bucket which

793
00:33:28.760 --> 00:33:32.000
is another G git type

794
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.360
repository so anyway another one I an

795
00:33:35.360 --> 00:33:37.120
article I picked up over the holidays

796
00:33:37.120 --> 00:33:40.120
you know oh this is this is along with

797
00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:41.960
the same thing Juniper this is from the

798
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:45.600
same one Dwayne story so it seems like

799
00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:47.200
you know Geeks when they get free time

800
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:48.799
over the holidays what they do they sit

801
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.200
down and code they're

802
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.880
just you know it's like it's so

803
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.360
interesting and the final one I've got

804
00:33:57.360 --> 00:33:59.360
here for those that want to see where

805
00:33:59.360 --> 00:34:02.120
this started there's a link in here for

806
00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:07.359
Matt's slamming of WP engine at the uh

807
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:12.000
2024 uh WP Meetup so you can that's gone

808
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.240
viral uh that's that's beyond viral

809
00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:15.639
that's what started this whole that's

810
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.599
what started down this whole mess we've

811
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.480
been in for the last several months and

812
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:21.159
it will continue for the next year or

813
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:24.520
two you know it's going to ease off now

814
00:34:24.520 --> 00:34:25.839
that we've gotten through the worst of

815
00:34:25.839 --> 00:34:27.440
it now it's going to every time

816
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:29.560
something comes up from the court action

817
00:34:29.560 --> 00:34:31.359
that's when everything will pick back up

818
00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:34.760
again yeah so so now it's a matter of

819
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:36.679
all the people that have started things

820
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:38.520
and to see how far they can get them

821
00:34:38.520 --> 00:34:40.679
going there is a lot happening out there

822
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.240
in the WordPress community and a lot of

823
00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:46.040
good things are happening for all the

824
00:34:46.040 --> 00:34:47.760
people that are panicking that WordPress

825
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:50.599
is going to die nah don't panic just

826
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:52.800
relax keep your website running double

827
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.960
check everything's up to date if you

828
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:58.160
have to hire someone to fix your code do

829
00:34:58.160 --> 00:35:01.320
whatever but this community is so much

830
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:05.079
bigger than Matt Mullen WG claims it is

831
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:06.720
there are there are hundreds of

832
00:35:06.720 --> 00:35:08.359
thousands of people that make their

833
00:35:08.359 --> 00:35:10.720
living with WordPress now it's not just

834
00:35:10.720 --> 00:35:12.680
a small community it was when I started

835
00:35:12.680 --> 00:35:16.720
working with it um 17 years ago you know

836
00:35:16.720 --> 00:35:19.560
no it's it's grown massively and

837
00:35:19.560 --> 00:35:22.680
WordPress seems to be the choice for

838
00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:24.240
people who are coming into the industry

839
00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:26.839
new as well yeah and it's because it's

840
00:35:26.839 --> 00:35:30.520
easy and because the plugin system is

841
00:35:30.520 --> 00:35:33.280
what makes it so great because you start

842
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:37.240
with a core simplified website and like

843
00:35:37.240 --> 00:35:39.119
I need it to do this oh there's a plugin

844
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:41.040
for that I need it to do this oh there's

845
00:35:41.040 --> 00:35:42.920
a plugin for that oh hey I've got this

846
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.119
and I need this to also do this oh

847
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.720
there's plugins to go with that you know

848
00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:49.720
I'm discovering some really cool plug

849
00:35:49.720 --> 00:35:52.119
when I when we rebuilt out the wp Pro A

850
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.880
to Z I discovered some plugins on top of

851
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:56.720
plugins to give functionality that I

852
00:35:56.720 --> 00:35:58.560
didn't even know existed

853
00:35:58.560 --> 00:36:00.200
so oh yeah they're they're pretty

854
00:36:00.200 --> 00:36:02.640
amazing so it it's there's a lot out

855
00:36:02.640 --> 00:36:04.880
there folks and it's not going anywhere

856
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.400
so relax enjoy the show buy some more

857
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:11.720
popcorn and you know with that I know we

858
00:36:11.720 --> 00:36:14.119
have extras here but you know just go

859
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.640
check out the extras in there it is time

860
00:36:16.640 --> 00:36:20.359
now to just jump on

861
00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:25.880
into Dragon rating

862
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:28.480
time all right first one I've got for

863
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.200
you right off the bat this is a plugin I

864
00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:32.960
discovered a couple of months ago but I

865
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:35.720
only had peripheral handling with it and

866
00:36:35.720 --> 00:36:37.920
I decided to go check it out because I

867
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.520
thought it might be useful in my new

868
00:36:39.520 --> 00:36:42.720
site build it turns out it is useful but

869
00:36:42.720 --> 00:36:45.319
not super useful depends on how you want

870
00:36:45.319 --> 00:36:48.240
to use it it's called Prime slider and

871
00:36:48.240 --> 00:36:51.119
it's a hero slider plugin really

872
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:55.000
fantastic for very specific uses and the

873
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:57.040
free version which is what I tested out

874
00:36:57.040 --> 00:37:00.319
here is quite nice and it handles a lot

875
00:37:00.319 --> 00:37:02.319
of things and what it's designed to do

876
00:37:02.319 --> 00:37:05.319
is it pulls content from your posts and

877
00:37:05.319 --> 00:37:08.839
posts and pages to display it doesn't do

878
00:37:08.839 --> 00:37:12.119
a very good job of creating unique

879
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:13.920
sliders unless you go to the premium

880
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:15.800
version I believe I didn't get to check

881
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:17.920
the premium version so I don't know but

882
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:20.079
in the free version it allows you to

883
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.280
pull the content from your posts and

884
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:24.119
pages and creates some really truly

885
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:27.760
amazing sliders um hero sliders for the

886
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.119
top of your page but it doesn't do much

887
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:31.760
else beyond that and it does have

888
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:33.960
limitations you can't really move the

889
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:36.520
content around very easily without CSS

890
00:37:36.520 --> 00:37:39.800
in it and you can't do a whole lot of

891
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:41.760
changes in the free version although I

892
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:44.440
did like it and it is very useful it's

893
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:46.920
very easy to install it does a really

894
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:50.160
great job and on the whole a fantastic

895
00:37:50.160 --> 00:37:52.079
plug-in and of course now that the year

896
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.720
of the dragon has come to the end I'm no

897
00:37:54.720 --> 00:37:56.599
longer going to focus solely on five

898
00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:59.319
Dragon plugins so this one gets a four

899
00:37:59.319 --> 00:38:01.839
dragon rating still quite good though go

900
00:38:01.839 --> 00:38:03.960

901
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:06.760

905
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.520
today I don't know about that oh okay I

906
00:38:17.520 --> 00:38:19.680
got a long tile too all right well let's

907
00:38:19.680 --> 00:38:25.599
see what you got here it's just

908
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:28.760
where so my tip to everyone

909
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.079
today uh is how many times have you

910
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:33.920
heard don't put off until later what you

911
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:36.480
can do today I'm sure everyone has heard

912
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:40.040
that well as much as I'd like to try to

913
00:38:40.040 --> 00:38:43.400
follow that uh there is actually a limit

914
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.240
CU if you're like me or like John or

915
00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:47.839
pretty much everybody who I've met so

916
00:38:47.839 --> 00:38:49.680
far that is into WordPress and other

917
00:38:49.680 --> 00:38:51.720
developing things once you get into

918
00:38:51.720 --> 00:38:53.359
something you are so in it that you

919
00:38:53.359 --> 00:38:55.119
forget to eat you forget to sleep you

920
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:56.920
forget to hydrate you forget all those

921
00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:58.200
things

922
00:38:58.200 --> 00:39:01.680
so maybe set an alarm for yourself

923
00:39:01.680 --> 00:39:04.440
really the tip is about making sure that

924
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:06.079
you take care of yourself no matter how

925
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:07.599
interesting your work is how interesting

926
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:09.000
that rabbit hole is that you're happily

927
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:11.200
jaunting down make sure that you have an

928
00:39:11.200 --> 00:39:14.000
alarm make sure that or that you live

929
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:16.480
with someone who is kind enough to like

930
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:17.839
feed and water you when you're not

931
00:39:17.839 --> 00:39:20.040
paying

932
00:39:20.040 --> 00:39:23.400
attention because that is a very major

933
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:25.200
downside to when you end up falling into

934
00:39:25.200 --> 00:39:29.680
a rabbit hole uh there are definitely

935
00:39:29.680 --> 00:39:33.480
ways to work around that but yeah just

936
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:35.520
don't fall so deeply into things that

937
00:39:35.520 --> 00:39:37.079
you can't get out and remember there are

938
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:38.440
ways to keep yourself from falling in

939
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:41.720
too deeply so that that's that was my

940
00:39:41.720 --> 00:39:43.160
tip today just be careful take care of

941
00:39:43.160 --> 00:39:45.720
yourself all righty well that's it

particular news

955
00:40:22.319 --> 00:40:25.839
information on their dashboard of their

956
00:40:25.839 --> 00:40:29.440
site so it is is a free plugin uh you

957
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.319
need to go to web 3 21's website in

958
00:40:32.319 --> 00:40:33.839
order to get it though I have the link

959
00:40:33.839 --> 00:40:36.240
here for you now when you first upload

960
00:40:36.240 --> 00:40:38.440
and activate this nothing obvious

961
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:40.400
happens so what you need to do is you

962
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:43.920
need to go to your leftand menu to

963
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:47.040
settings and then you'll see name your

964
00:40:47.040 --> 00:40:49.359
news click on this and you'll be brought

965
00:40:49.359 --> 00:40:52.000
to the dashboard for the plug-in here

966
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.560
you will have the option to rename your

967
00:40:53.560 --> 00:40:57.040
news to anything you like but be careful

968
00:40:57.040 --> 00:40:59.800
cuz because I decided to name it unicorn

969
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.520
rainbow poop and you know what that's

970
00:41:01.520 --> 00:41:04.400
exactly what shows up as on the

971
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.760
dashboard so if you share it with

972
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:09.880
anyone if you share this site with

973
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:11.160
anyone if anyone else is going to go

974
00:41:11.160 --> 00:41:15.560
look name it something appropriate yeah

975
00:41:15.560 --> 00:41:18.119
because everyone will see it

976
00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:21.720
so um other than that uh it's really

977
00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:24.720
easy to use it has five slots for where

978
00:41:24.720 --> 00:41:27.680
you can enter in your RSS feed really

979
00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:29.480
what you're doing is you're taking the

980
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:32.359
URL for the websites that you want the

981
00:41:32.359 --> 00:41:34.480
RSS feed from and you're putting it into

982
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.520
these slots and then what that does you

983
00:41:37.520 --> 00:41:40.359
click save and you suddenly have all the

984
00:41:40.359 --> 00:41:42.440
latest news on your dashboard from them

985
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:44.800
and it's it's not really in categories

986
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.160
what it is it goes from the most recent

987
00:41:47.160 --> 00:41:48.800
piece of news to the oldest piece of

988
00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.319
news so like the different uh the

989
00:41:51.319 --> 00:41:54.280
different sites is going to have uh

990
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:56.800
they're going to be mixed in together so

991
00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:59.119
you can't unless you like hover over it

992
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:00.240
really read it you're not going to be

993
00:42:00.240 --> 00:42:01.760
able to tell who it's from so be careful

994
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:03.319
with that if you need to know who it's

995
00:42:03.319 --> 00:42:06.319
from for whatever reason it is very

996
00:42:06.319 --> 00:42:07.520
useful

997
00:42:07.520 --> 00:42:09.920
though uh you also have the option of

998
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:12.800
choosing the refresh frequency as well

999
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:16.119
so you can choose hourly daily weekly or

1000
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:18.520
monthly uh I did notice that the first

1001
00:42:18.520 --> 00:42:20.200
time I clicked on dashboard after

1002
00:42:20.200 --> 00:42:21.720
setting all this up it took a little

1003
00:42:21.720 --> 00:42:23.400
longer than usual but it hasn't happened

1004
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:24.599
again so I think it's just the first

1005
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:26.000
time that it's really calibrating the

1006
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.079
first time for everything it's

1007
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:33.000
us this is really useful so I definitely

1008
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:35.800
recommend that people who need to go and

1009
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.000
uh read news regulated like we do for

1010
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:40.920
the show you need this on your dashboard

1011
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:42.720
definitely get it check it out try it

1012
00:42:42.720 --> 00:42:44.599
out see if it's any good for

1013
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.960
you um yeah I rate this at five

1014
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:51.359
dragons all righty then come my mouse

1015
00:42:51.359 --> 00:42:54.280
what's not appropriate about

1016
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:56.680
unicorn what was that something

1017
00:42:56.680 --> 00:42:58.920
something Dragon uranic corn un rain

1018
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:00.800
rainbow uh did you make one mention

1019
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:03.359
about this plugin is that uh you can

1020
00:43:03.359 --> 00:43:06.319
choose your your top five favorite RSS

1021
00:43:06.319 --> 00:43:08.119
feeds for that

1022
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:10.280
news I didn't hear

1023
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:14.880
it uh no you you choose uh five Ur you

1024
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:18.280
can choose up to five URLs five five but

1025
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:19.880
but they're RSS feeds they're not just

1026
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.079
URLs they're RSS feed okay that's

1027
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.319
different yes okay I I I didn't quite

1028
00:43:25.319 --> 00:43:27.119
catch it all so I wanted to clarify that

1029
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:28.640
that is one important thing like if you

1030
00:43:28.640 --> 00:43:31.359
have five favorite news sites you can

1031
00:43:31.359 --> 00:43:33.480
take their RSS feed and put it in here

1032
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:35.280
so you can have your five favorite news

1033
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:38.240
sites showing up in the plugin showing

1034
00:43:38.240 --> 00:43:39.880
up on your dashboard of your WordPress

1035
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:42.240
website so okay so this is something I'm

1036
00:43:42.240 --> 00:43:45.160
a little confused on uh the way that you

1037
00:43:45.160 --> 00:43:46.960
fill this out is you put the URL in

1038
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:48.760
there but is an RSS feed different than

1039
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:51.200
putting the URL for the news page yeah

1040
00:43:51.200 --> 00:43:55.440
the RSS feed has has a extra set of

1041
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:57.680
letters after it something RS

1042
00:43:57.680 --> 00:44:00.880
s oh okay that's not something that I'm

1043
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:02.760
very familiar with I haven't really

1044
00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:05.079
worked with RSS feeds so okay well we'll

1045
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:07.480
educate you on it as time goes by

1046
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:09.480
then all

1047
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:14.359
right it's time to talk about our

1048
00:44:14.359 --> 00:44:19.680

cool it's question and answer time with

1107
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:53.520
John and

1108
00:46:53.520 --> 00:46:56.079
Amber so if anyone out there has any

1109
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:57.760
questions I'd like to have asked here on

1110
00:46:57.760 --> 00:46:59.640
the show you can send them in to me at

1111
00:46:59.640 --> 00:47:02.280
Amber

1112
00:47:02.319 --> 00:47:05.000
w.ca and we'll see if we can St my dad

1113
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.920
again and just a quick thing uh HDM

1114
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.240
what's not appropriate well it really

1115
00:47:10.240 --> 00:47:13.000
depends on who you are and who you work

1116
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.119
with that that's really what it comes

1117
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:16.680
down to if it's totally cool with

1118
00:47:16.680 --> 00:47:19.400
everyone you work with go for

1119
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:22.440
it so the first question is uh actually

1120
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.280
this is all about RSS feeds because I

1121
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:25.960
don't really know much about them what

1122
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:29.559
exactly is an RSS feed and RSS feed you

1123
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:32.160
know if you have a podcast app or you

1124
00:47:32.160 --> 00:47:35.160
know you podcast apps help popularize RS

1125
00:47:35.160 --> 00:47:38.280
and news readers help popular as RS RSS

1126
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:42.359
feed is a extra little segment outside

1127
00:47:42.359 --> 00:47:45.359
of your website you can go to just about

1128
00:47:45.359 --> 00:47:49.400
any WordPress URL um and type in feed

1129
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:51.240
after the end of it and you'll get a

1130
00:47:51.240 --> 00:47:53.480
whole bunch of what looks like code

1131
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:54.920
which is the

1132
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:57.040
uh um I can't remember the name name of

1133
00:47:57.040 --> 00:47:59.880
it it's a markup code which is then oh

1134
00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:03.400
read by RSS readers and put back into

1135
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:06.319
normal readable English for you so RSS

1136
00:48:06.319 --> 00:48:08.200
feeds have been around as long as

1137
00:48:08.200 --> 00:48:10.359
podcast if it wasn't for RSS feeds

1138
00:48:10.359 --> 00:48:12.920
podcasts wouldn't exist in their current

1139
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:16.559
form because okay the podast the RSS

1140
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:19.520
feed can be separated down into specific

1141
00:48:19.520 --> 00:48:21.960
segments of your website like every

1142
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.040
category on your WordPress website has a

1143
00:48:24.040 --> 00:48:26.319
separate RSS feed from your homepage

1144
00:48:26.319 --> 00:48:28.680
your home page has an RSS feed your news

1145
00:48:28.680 --> 00:48:30.359
your news section has an RSS feed

1146
00:48:30.359 --> 00:48:33.800
everything has its own RSS feed so and

1147
00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:36.720
your question was RSS feeds say security

1148
00:48:36.720 --> 00:48:40.040
risk no not really you know they're

1149
00:48:40.040 --> 00:48:41.640
about as much a security risk as any

1150
00:48:41.640 --> 00:48:44.640
other URL on your website and they that

1151
00:48:44.640 --> 00:48:46.760
was actually one of my last questions oh

1152
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:49.559
I'm on the last question oh yeah oh I

1153
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:51.200
went back there okay well for those of

1154
00:48:51.200 --> 00:48:52.960
you who listen after the show come back

1155
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:54.920
and we'll talk about that one

1156
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:58.520
later um at any rate the the RSS feed is

1157
00:48:58.520 --> 00:49:00.920
something that has been so useful I used

1158
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:03.160
to Google used to make the most

1159
00:49:03.160 --> 00:49:05.960
fantastic RSS feed reader I can't

1160
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.240
remember what it's called now but you

1161
00:49:08.240 --> 00:49:10.640
could subscribe to multiple RSS feeds

1162
00:49:10.640 --> 00:49:14.200
and it would collate all your feeds to a

1163
00:49:14.200 --> 00:49:16.680
daily readable headlines and a quick

1164
00:49:16.680 --> 00:49:18.200
snippet so you could just scroll through

1165
00:49:18.200 --> 00:49:20.160
and grab your news and then of course

1166
00:49:20.160 --> 00:49:21.720
because it was doing so well Google

1167
00:49:21.720 --> 00:49:24.119
killed it like everything else it does

1168
00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:29.240
well um but it it is it's it is a way to

1169
00:49:29.240 --> 00:49:31.799
read the data of a website in machine

1170
00:49:31.799 --> 00:49:34.160
readable language that's quick and easy

1171
00:49:34.160 --> 00:49:35.839
and then to convert it into something

1172
00:49:35.839 --> 00:49:38.319
more easily to read or to listen to such

1173
00:49:38.319 --> 00:49:39.480
as

1174
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:42.200
podcasts I mean even uh what's even more

1175
00:49:42.200 --> 00:49:45.440
interesting like Odyssey has RSS feeds

1176
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:48.599
for all of the accounts on there and

1177
00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:53.799
those can be submitted to the uh podcast

1178
00:49:53.799 --> 00:49:57.160
uh the podcast index so then you can

1179
00:49:57.160 --> 00:49:58.960
actually get your Odyssey videos on your

1180
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:03.880
podcast on a modern podcast app as an as

1181
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:06.240
podcast I discovered that a few weeks

1182
00:50:06.240 --> 00:50:07.839
ago when I got tired of always being

1183
00:50:07.839 --> 00:50:09.520
stuck at my computer when I wanted to

1184
00:50:09.520 --> 00:50:13.000
listen to a show that's mostly audio and

1185
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:14.319
uh I went and seeing if it was there and

1186
00:50:14.319 --> 00:50:16.079
I went no I wonder if I can put the RSS

1187
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:18.520
feed into into the podcast index and

1188
00:50:18.520 --> 00:50:20.480
sure enough you can insert the IND in it

1189
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:22.720
and the podcast index index is it you

1190
00:50:22.720 --> 00:50:25.000
can download it to your podcast

1191
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:27.799
app so

1192
00:50:27.799 --> 00:50:29.839
that really cool

1193
00:50:29.839 --> 00:50:32.119
yeah so go over to your next question I

1194
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:33.599
think we kind of covered it

1195
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:36.280
too well the next question was how would

1196
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:38.440
you get an RSS feed if you didn't have

1197
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:40.040
one of those awesome new plugins where

1198
00:50:40.040 --> 00:50:41.720
you can just drop the URL into the

1199
00:50:41.720 --> 00:50:43.400
plugin and click save because that's

1200
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:44.599
something I've noticed is there's a lot

1201
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:46.680
of plugins where you don't actually put

1202
00:50:46.680 --> 00:50:49.040
the RSS information in there you just

1203
00:50:49.040 --> 00:50:52.359
put the URL and it goes and grabs the

1204
00:50:52.359 --> 00:50:55.079
RSS feed for you and brings it to you

1205
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:56.960
that is what I think this particular I

1206
00:50:56.960 --> 00:51:00.079
one is doing let's see if it's going to

1207
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:04.079
work oh the problem is is on uh on

1208
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:06.280
Firefox it doesn't have a built-in RSS

1209
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:09.720
reader so but what what we can do here

1210
00:51:09.720 --> 00:51:12.280
we'll go we'll go pop it into Chrome and

1211
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:15.040
uh show you on this one

1212
00:51:15.040 --> 00:51:18.280
website you where we've got the things

1213
00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:23.040
this is your RSS feed so at web 321 our

1214
00:51:23.040 --> 00:51:25.359
plugins you just put feed after it and

1215
00:51:25.359 --> 00:51:27.440
boom an RSS feed and it gives you all

1216
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:28.880
the information about the

1217
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:31.119
plugins as they come down the pike so

1218
00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:33.000
you can literally do that with any

1219
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:35.000
WordPress website unless they've turned

1220
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.040
off their RSS feeds which can be done in

1221
00:51:37.040 --> 00:51:40.240
WordPress you can turn off the RSS feeds

1222
00:51:40.240 --> 00:51:41.880
but if they haven't turned off the RSS

1223
00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:45.040
feeds you can take any category segment

1224
00:51:45.040 --> 00:51:47.280
any component of their site and just put

1225
00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:51.280
feed after it and you get the RSS feed

1226
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:53.640
for that section it doesn't work on a

1227
00:51:53.640 --> 00:51:55.960
single poster page of course but it does

1228
00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:57.200
work for

1229
00:51:57.200 --> 00:51:59.040
categories and other

1230
00:51:59.040 --> 00:52:02.880
things I tried it on wbp Tavern yeah and

1231
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:05.440
uh all that came up was all of the

1232
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.599
comments yeah well the comments are part

1233
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:09.440
of the feed so if you did it on the

1234
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:10.640
front

1235
00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:14.720
page no I I did it um on the news yeah

1236
00:52:14.720 --> 00:52:16.680
the news page okay and all I'm getting

1237
00:52:16.680 --> 00:52:17.839
is all the comments from all the

1238
00:52:17.839 --> 00:52:19.839
different news Okay so that there their

1239
00:52:19.839 --> 00:52:22.040
RSS feed is working strangely that's the

1240
00:52:22.040 --> 00:52:24.280
best I can guess I don't

1241
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.680
know but there it's just interesting

1242
00:52:26.680 --> 00:52:28.559
yeah it it's an interesting thing the

1243
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:30.960
RSS feeds are a great useful item

1244
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.359
they've been around since God the early

1245
00:52:34.359 --> 00:52:37.839
2000s you know they they they made news

1246
00:52:37.839 --> 00:52:39.680
reading and sharing across the internet

1247
00:52:39.680 --> 00:52:41.319
you used to have to specifically set

1248
00:52:41.319 --> 00:52:43.680
them up on your website before the

1249
00:52:43.680 --> 00:52:45.240
creation of some of the

1250
00:52:45.240 --> 00:52:48.640
programs so if you wanted to get the RSS

1251
00:52:48.640 --> 00:52:53.200
feed you put in SL feed and then you

1252
00:52:53.200 --> 00:52:55.720
what copy and paste them or what do you

1253
00:52:55.720 --> 00:52:57.400
do in order to get that connected to

1254
00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:59.119
your website if you don't have a Plugin

1255
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:01.160
or something um there is no way to

1256
00:53:01.160 --> 00:53:02.480
connect it to your website un you have a

1257
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:03.920
plugin to interpret the code or

1258
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:05.839
interpret the code just okay you have to

1259
00:53:05.839 --> 00:53:07.680
interpret what it comes on you saw that

1260
00:53:07.680 --> 00:53:11.160
jumbled mess of hardto read yes data you

1261
00:53:11.160 --> 00:53:12.960
need you need something to interpret it

1262
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:15.319
and then lay it back out in English

1263
00:53:15.319 --> 00:53:16.359
readable

1264
00:53:16.359 --> 00:53:20.839
format okay I understand now yeah so

1265
00:53:20.839 --> 00:53:23.520
that's how it works all right all right

1266
00:53:23.520 --> 00:53:25.760
I I've got two more questions for after

1267
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:27.839
the credits all right and we gave you

1268
00:53:27.839 --> 00:53:29.559

00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:36.839
set of questions and sometimes we have a

1272
00:53:36.839 --> 00:53:39.280
good discussion after that so with that

1273
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:40.880

evening wherever you happen to be out

1310
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:17.280
there on the globe today

1311
00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:35.119
all righty dad now it's time for the

1312
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:38.319
rest of the show yep only a couple more

1313
00:55:38.319 --> 00:55:39.720
questions and one of them is kind of a

1314
00:55:39.720 --> 00:55:44.240
two-parter question but so are RSS feeds

1315
00:55:44.240 --> 00:55:46.280
security risk at all yeah well I sort of

1316
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:47.599
answered that one already before because

1317
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:48.760
I was looking at the wrong place I

1318
00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:51.400
scrolled down too far down the page um

1319
00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:53.160
well yes but why

1320
00:55:53.160 --> 00:55:56.359
not because what what's the risk is your

1321
00:55:56.359 --> 00:55:59.119
your website URL

1322
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:02.160
risk yes okay so then that's the max

1323
00:56:02.160 --> 00:56:05.280
security risk of it okay you know it's

1324
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:07.079
like if they figure out how to crack

1325
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:08.760
through your RSS feed to get into your

1326
00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:10.559
site well so be it they're they're

1327
00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:12.079
finding other ways to get into it that

1328
00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:14.440
is the risk it's it's minimal it's the

1329
00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:16.880
same risk that you're having a website

1330
00:56:16.880 --> 00:56:19.160
on the Internet is it is the same exact

1331
00:56:19.160 --> 00:56:22.119
risk okay that makes sense so it's it's

1332
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:25.039
not any more risky or less risky than

1333
00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:27.160
anything else you do with your website

1334
00:56:27.160 --> 00:56:29.880
to present to present to the public so

1335
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:32.400
really it's just an unseen Post Yeah it

1336
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:34.359
it's it's literally an unseen post it's

1337
00:56:34.359 --> 00:56:36.880
it's a URL that nobody goes to except

1338
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:39.000
for very specific

1339
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:41.240
purposes I mean it's it's always been

1340
00:56:41.240 --> 00:56:43.000
there it's been in WordPress since the

1341
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:46.599
very beginning but almost nobody takes

1342
00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:48.880
advantage of RSS unless they're

1343
00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:51.480
producing a podcast producing a podcast

1344
00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:53.720
you take advantage of RSS if you produce

1345
00:56:53.720 --> 00:56:55.880
news and you submit your RSS feed to

1346
00:56:55.880 --> 00:56:57.799
news readers you're taking advantage of

1347
00:56:57.799 --> 00:56:59.799
the RSS to get your content out there

1348
00:56:59.799 --> 00:57:02.520
for people to read and to lead them back

1349
00:57:02.520 --> 00:57:04.240
to your website to see the rest of your

1350
00:57:04.240 --> 00:57:05.799
website and what you're

1351
00:57:05.799 --> 00:57:08.920
selling so all right so that's all

1352
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:10.680
that's that that's all the risk it is

1353
00:57:10.680 --> 00:57:13.079
it's it's minimal as it's it's as risky

1354
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:16.720
as every other URL on your website

1355
00:57:16.720 --> 00:57:19.640
is so the last question is have you ever

1356
00:57:19.640 --> 00:57:22.839
come across those who charge for uses of

1357
00:57:22.839 --> 00:57:25.079
of their RSS feeds if not is there a

1358
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.520
reason why someone might do that or are

1359
00:57:27.520 --> 00:57:29.440
they just always free and why are they

1360
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:32.440
always free okay this one here is a yes

1361
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:36.280
and no kind of answer is I vaguely

1362
00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:38.359
recall someone trying to do that years

1363
00:57:38.359 --> 00:57:42.440
ago make it but for those of us that are

1364
00:57:42.440 --> 00:57:44.359
resourceful you can get right around

1365
00:57:44.359 --> 00:57:45.039
that

1366
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:48.200
firewall because the RSS feed is always

1367
00:57:48.200 --> 00:57:50.720
there and it's always free you can block

1368
00:57:50.720 --> 00:57:53.599
it or you can try and firewall it or pay

1369
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:56.920
wall it but resourceful people can find

1370
00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:58.960
another way around you have to block

1371
00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:00.480
every

1372
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:04.680
single RSS URL which is almost every

1373
00:58:04.680 --> 00:58:06.559
single URL on your

1374
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:10.520
site wow um you know except for

1375
00:58:10.520 --> 00:58:12.680
individual Pages or post those are the

1376
00:58:12.680 --> 00:58:15.039
only ones that don't have an RSS I don't

1377
00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:17.760
believe I can double check that by just

1378
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:20.359
going to a website

1379
00:58:20.359 --> 00:58:23.920
here let's see

1380
00:58:24.799 --> 00:58:28.119
here no it's you get nothing if you if

1381
00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:31.400
you just put feed after the last URL but

1382
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:38.200
if it's a category if it's a if it's

1383
00:58:38.200 --> 00:58:42.400
um um a keyword

1384
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:45.680
um there's an RSS feed for it and it's

1385
00:58:45.680 --> 00:58:47.720
really hard to do it's kind of hard to

1386
00:58:47.720 --> 00:58:49.359
do so it's either they turn them off

1387
00:58:49.359 --> 00:58:51.240
entirely there's there are news sites

1388
00:58:51.240 --> 00:58:53.039
that have turned off their RSS feeds

1389
00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:55.160
entirely to force people to actually pay

1390
00:58:55.160 --> 00:58:57.559
to get to the content

1391
00:58:57.559 --> 00:58:59.400
okay okay because that what you can do

1392
00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:02.200
you can block the full ability of your

1393
00:59:02.200 --> 00:59:04.760
website to use RSS feeds

1394
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:07.960
period And there are people that do that

1395
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:10.880
but they are always free because it's

1396
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:12.000
always

1397
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:14.720
there it's it's just it's part of the

1398
00:59:14.720 --> 00:59:16.520
system it's part of it's part of the

1399
00:59:16.520 --> 00:59:18.799
original open web system it's the reason

1400
00:59:18.799 --> 00:59:21.000
why podcasts cannot be

1401
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:24.200
killed okay even though people like

1402
00:59:24.200 --> 00:59:26.359
Spotify

1403
00:59:26.359 --> 00:59:31.119
um Apple index uh Apple all the several

1404
00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:34.760
other big ones um I can't remember them

1405
00:59:34.760 --> 00:59:38.079
all right now are trying to kill

1406
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:40.480
podcasts by controlling them they can't

1407
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:43.640
because RS they can't no RSS as long as

1408
00:59:43.640 --> 00:59:46.680
you control your RSS feed you can make

1409
00:59:46.680 --> 00:59:48.839
your content available to anyone and of

1410
00:59:48.839 --> 00:59:51.960
course the new podcasting index

1411
00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:55.839
2.0 was created so that it'll always be

1412
00:59:55.839 --> 00:59:57.319
a available there will always be a

1413
00:59:57.319 --> 01:00:00.359
central index that is free for anyone

1414
01:00:00.359 --> 01:00:02.880
and everyone to submit their RSS feeds

1415
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:05.160
so people can find you

1416
01:00:05.160 --> 01:00:08.520
easier which is great and of course ever

1417
01:00:08.520 --> 01:00:12.160
since Apple who dominated the podcast

1418
01:00:12.160 --> 01:00:15.160
player Apple dominated it for

1419
01:00:15.160 --> 01:00:18.000
ages and then became douche canoes about

1420
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:22.599
it now there's dozens of free podcasting

1421
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:25.039
apps available for the modern podcast

1422
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:28.760
index which has even more data than what

1423
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:30.640
the original podcast one does it's like

1424
01:00:30.640 --> 01:00:32.960
you can there's there's some podcast

1425
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:36.359
apps that if you set up your podcast

1426
01:00:36.359 --> 01:00:40.440
correctly people can give you uh crypto

1427
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:42.880
coins directly from their podcast app

1428
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.160
crypto tips directly from the podcast

1429
01:00:45.160 --> 01:00:48.799
app to you there is your automatic image

1430
01:00:48.799 --> 01:00:50.920
plane there's so many things they can do

1431
01:00:50.920 --> 01:00:54.640
now so it's it's not going away and RSS

1432
01:00:54.640 --> 01:00:56.359
is not going away it's part of the

1433
01:00:56.359 --> 01:00:58.319
original design of the internet for the

1434
01:00:58.319 --> 01:00:59.480
open

1435
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:01.920
internet and no matter how hard they try

1436
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:04.520
to shut the internet down and block it

1437
01:01:04.520 --> 01:01:06.240
because of the original open design of

1438
01:01:06.240 --> 01:01:09.839
the internet they can't shut it down

1439
01:01:10.640 --> 01:01:12.680
entirely yeah I think I actually

1440
01:01:12.680 --> 01:01:14.480
understand what an RSS feed is a bit

1441
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:16.319
better now thank you for all those yeah

1442
01:01:16.319 --> 01:01:17.160
no

1443
01:01:17.160 --> 01:01:20.440
problem that's it yeah I think the

1444
01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:22.520
reason why I don't really understand RSS

1445
01:01:22.520 --> 01:01:25.640
feeds is because I've never had to learn

1446
01:01:25.640 --> 01:01:27.200
about them because they're all just kind

1447
01:01:27.200 --> 01:01:29.720
of automatically uploaded yeah well it

1448
01:01:29.720 --> 01:01:31.640
was something that I learned about way

1449
01:01:31.640 --> 01:01:34.200
back in the beginning of the internet

1450
01:01:34.200 --> 01:01:37.039
and uh it for for what it stands for is

1451
01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:39.480
really simple

1452
01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:41.920
syndication oh really yeah that's what

1453
01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:43.240
it stands for is really simple

1454
01:01:43.240 --> 01:01:46.039
syndication it was based on the idea of

1455
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:49.720
syndicated news from the 70s and 80s

1456
01:01:49.720 --> 01:01:51.720
where you know one news source would put

1457
01:01:51.720 --> 01:01:53.400
it out and it would go into a central

1458
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:55.480
syndication point and all the other news

1459
01:01:55.480 --> 01:01:56.799
people they thought it was a worthy

1460
01:01:56.799 --> 01:02:00.200
story they'd pick it up and reprint

1461
01:02:00.359 --> 01:02:03.920
it so that's that's where the idea is

1462
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:05.440
based out

1463
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:08.640
of that's cool all right hemp and

1464
01:02:08.640 --> 01:02:11.440

1465
01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:19.240

1470
01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:34.440
office at home it sucks eventually

1471
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:36.760
though your office at home will rival

1472
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:38.440
anything you could have ever possibly

1473
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:40.720
