[1009.86 --> 1010.86] Yeah, there we go.
[1011.14 --> 1013.10] It's called the Weeping Angel tool.
[1013.10 --> 1017.96] And so the CIA could listen in on Samsung smart TVs.
[1018.12 --> 1022.20] And it's like, I don't know about you guys, but I watch all kinds of stuff on my TV.
[1023.14 --> 1023.50] Okay.
[1026.94 --> 1027.34] Right.
[1028.32 --> 1029.34] You know, you know what I'm saying?
[1029.40 --> 1030.84] I mean, big screen TV, right?
[1031.08 --> 1031.44] 4K.
[1031.80 --> 1032.62] I mean, what are we using?
[1032.78 --> 1033.56] Lord of the Rings?
[1034.16 --> 1035.08] Not necessarily.
[1035.54 --> 1036.38] Lord of the something.
[1036.64 --> 1037.76] Lord of the something.
[1038.82 --> 1040.44] I mean, there's, there's rings out there.
[1040.50 --> 1041.42] Let me tell you about rings.
[1041.42 --> 1041.72] Okay.
[1043.10 --> 1045.02] Wow.
[1046.34 --> 1046.70] Wow.
[1046.84 --> 1048.10] Well, that got off the rails fast.
[1048.46 --> 1051.80] I think, I think there were a few of those in the weirdest purchases on Amazon.
[1051.96 --> 1053.26] Yeah, I think there were a few of those.
[1054.32 --> 1060.76] Anyway, so BlackBerry's automotive software was specifically mentioned as a potential mission
[1060.76 --> 1063.78] area by the CIA embedded devices branch.
[1064.00 --> 1066.36] It's used by 60 million cars.
[1066.48 --> 1066.80] That's great.
[1066.80 --> 1069.98] It's unclear at this time if the CIA moved forward with the attacks.
[1069.98 --> 1072.66] But BlackBerry basically said the only thing they can say.
[1073.16 --> 1077.90] We are not currently aware of any attacks or exploits against BlackBerry products or services.
[1079.10 --> 1081.34] That's actually, that's a very broad statement.
[1081.68 --> 1081.94] Yeah.
[1082.06 --> 1087.56] We are not aware of any attacks or exploits against BlackBerry products or services.
[1087.56 --> 1090.24] That's a very, very strong blanket statement.
[1090.52 --> 1090.74] Yeah.
[1090.80 --> 1092.08] But they're not currently aware.
[1092.24 --> 1094.12] So there definitely could be.
[1094.12 --> 1103.26] So they make specialized operating systems for industrial products like this QNX makes wind turbines,
[1103.50 --> 1109.20] anti-tank missiles, and most importantly, in-car infotainment systems, which by the way are
[1109.20 --> 1109.62] terrible.
[1109.78 --> 1114.52] We should do a video on like in-car infotainment system done right.
[1114.52 --> 1118.40] I was shopping for a minivan back about, wow.
[1118.80 --> 1119.66] A year ago almost?
[1119.82 --> 1121.24] Back about six, eight months ago.
[1121.36 --> 1121.80] Something like that.
[1121.80 --> 1121.92] Yeah.
[1122.40 --> 1124.22] And I drove a used one.
[1124.30 --> 1126.76] That was from like 2005 or 2006.
[1127.00 --> 1128.78] Like it really, wait, what year is it now?
[1129.20 --> 1129.60] 17.
[1130.66 --> 1130.98] Crap.
[1131.08 --> 1131.92] No, it was newer than that.
[1132.00 --> 1132.12] Sorry.
[1132.20 --> 1134.86] It was like 2015 or 2016 or something like that.
[1135.08 --> 1136.18] You thought it was 2007?
[1136.34 --> 1137.20] Just shut up, okay?
[1137.20 --> 1138.20] Just shut up, okay?
[1142.94 --> 1150.14] Anywho, the one I was driving was the RES, so Rear Entertainment System version.
[1150.52 --> 1150.90] Oh, yeah.
[1150.98 --> 1152.58] And so I crawled back to look at it.
[1152.62 --> 1155.34] I'm like, this is the worst TN panel I've ever seen.
[1155.90 --> 1157.10] Are you for real?
[1158.42 --> 1160.02] Composite and S-Video in?
[1160.68 --> 1161.72] I mean, that was all it had.
[1161.78 --> 1164.70] And it wasn't even like, it might not have been two or three years old.
[1164.70 --> 1167.10] Like it was right before a refresh or something like that.
[1167.92 --> 1170.10] But it wasn't like 10 years old either.
[1170.22 --> 1171.34] And I was like, this is stupid.
[1171.76 --> 1173.34] You've got to be able to do better than this.
[1173.40 --> 1174.74] So that was when I was kind of inspired.
[1174.84 --> 1177.08] I think we should do something around that at some point.
[1177.20 --> 1177.62] I agree.
[1178.62 --> 1197.18] I think, you know, the counter to this, you know, the concern about they have all these exploits, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, that I've been hearing, you know, people in the know making is, okay, well, don't you want us to have access to these so that we know what people are c...
[1197.20 --> 1201.36] And so that we can spy on potentially dangerous people.
[1201.36 --> 1205.22] But we all know, like, that's like...
[1205.22 --> 1208.26] If that was really the objective, they'd be closing the back doors.
[1208.44 --> 1208.76] Yeah.
[1209.24 --> 1209.52] Yeah.
[1209.78 --> 1210.10] Exactly.
[1210.76 --> 1217.08] And that's the thing where it's like, yeah, if you guys were being totally honest, these would not be a thing anymore.
[1217.08 --> 1218.08] So...
[1218.08 --> 1218.58] Okay.
[1218.70 --> 1219.84] Let's wrap up this topic.
[1219.96 --> 1230.28] And then I've actually got a new one that I was inspired by an email I just received to cover because it feels like it's something that I really should have talked about a long time ago.
[1230.46 --> 1232.52] And I'm going to do it once and for all now.
[1232.58 --> 1234.04] So maybe I won't get these emails anymore.
[1235.70 --> 1237.66] Actually, I guess that's pretty much it.
[1237.74 --> 1241.40] So security research showed they could hack into a Jeep, taking control away from the driver on the highway.
[1241.52 --> 1244.14] BlackBerry was quick to say its tech wasn't involved in that breach.
[1244.14 --> 1246.98] But, yeah, anyway.
[1247.44 --> 1247.84] Okay.
[1248.54 --> 1257.84] So I just got an email from someone asking about, like, under license doing a French version of the WAN show.
[1258.08 --> 1261.66] And I get people messaging me about this all the time.
[1261.92 --> 1268.80] You know, we'd love to work with you to create, like, a UK branch office of Linus Media Group.
[1268.80 --> 1277.16] Or we'd love to work with you guys to create a Punjabi version of your reviews or whatever the case may be.
[1277.94 --> 1280.82] And the answer is no.
[1280.82 --> 1293.18] Because the thing that is special about Linus Tech Tips or the WAN show or what do we do all day?
[1293.56 --> 1296.00] Tech Quickie or Channel Super Fun.
[1296.40 --> 1296.86] Sleep.
[1296.86 --> 1307.82] Is not the idea of having a podcast about what happened in the technology world this week.
[1308.14 --> 1309.32] That's been done.
