-
conference that would be really bad conference that would be really bad I'll switch to Wi-Fi and see if that I'll switch to Wi-Fi and see if that I'll switch to Wi-Fi and see if that yeah to talk about Wi-Fi Wi-Fi yeah to talk about Wi-Fi Wi-Fi yeah to talk about Wi-Fi Wi-Fi what was that right I mean absolutely what was that right I mean absolutely what was that right I mean absolutely better we be retired or dead by then oh better we be retired or dead by then oh better we be retired or dead by then oh my God yeah yeah my God yeah yeah my God yeah yeah wow so hey what's going on guys uh wow so hey what's going on guys uh wow so hey what's going on guys uh welcome to everyone's iot Coffee Talk by welcome to everyone's iot Coffee Talk by welcome to everyone's iot Coffee Talk by the way the way the way I always forget that and by the way I always forget that and by the way I always forget that and by the way don't take anything that we say don't take anything that we say don't take anything that we say seriously because if you do seriously because if you do seriously because if you do you need to go to the hospital you need to go to the hospital you need to go to the hospital go to a psychiatrist because there's go to a psychiatrist because there's go to a psychiatrist because there's nothing serious happening here we're nothing serious happening here we're nothing serious happening here we're just blowing off steam right if you just blowing off steam right if you just blowing off steam right if you wanted this functionality here where you wanted this functionality here where you wanted this functionality here where you got yeah it works exactly well I wanted got yeah it works exactly well I wanted got yeah it works exactly well I wanted to bring up I wanted to bring up uh the to bring up I wanted to bring up uh the to bring up I wanted to bring up uh the Amazon sidewalk announcement Amazon sidewalk announcement Amazon sidewalk announcement oh yeah that's that's interesting it's oh yeah that's that's interesting it's oh yeah that's that's interesting it's amazing that they have as much of a amazing that they have as much of a amazing that they have as much of a footprint as they do I I think it's footprint as they do I I think it's footprint as they do I I think it's because they do well you know um my my because they do well you know um my my because they do well you know um my my question is question is question is um what do they default to um what do they default to um what do they default to is it opt-in or opt out and do people is it opt-in or opt out and do people is it opt-in or opt out and do people know that it's even on know that it's even on know that it's even on the fact that you have to ask the the fact that you have to ask the the fact that you have to ask the question means that you know the question means that you know the question means that you know the well you know what it bothers me because well you know what it bothers me because well you know what it bothers me because you know I was you I was you know all I you know I was you I was you know all I you know I was you I was you know all I think I think I don't know if this is think I think I don't know if this is think I think I don't know if this is true but as far as what I've seen true but as far as what I've seen true but as far as what I've seen um a lot of the uh Microsoft stuff by um a lot of the uh Microsoft stuff by um a lot of the uh Microsoft stuff by default it turns on all of the default it turns on all of the default it turns on all of the quote-unquote ai-ish functions and and I
-
quote-unquote ai-ish functions and and I quote-unquote ai-ish functions and and I don't know what they're doing with the don't know what they're doing with the don't know what they're doing with the generative stuff but I've gone I've generative stuff but I've gone I've generative stuff but I've gone I've actually had to go through research and actually had to go through research and actually had to go through research and figure out how to shut everything off figure out how to shut everything off figure out how to shut everything off because number one you know the because number one you know the because number one you know the predictive typing stuff is annoying as predictive typing stuff is annoying as predictive typing stuff is annoying as hell hell hell you know I I don't want it and so uh you you know I I don't want it and so uh you you know I I don't want it and so uh you know I was I was you know I was know I was I was you know I was know I was I was you know I was wondering okay how does this thing wondering okay how does this thing wondering okay how does this thing actually work and is it actually is it actually work and is it actually is it actually work and is it actually is it sending sending sending what I'm typing in my emails and stuff what I'm typing in my emails and stuff what I'm typing in my emails and stuff to the end you know to Microsoft to the end you know to Microsoft to the end you know to Microsoft and so I I killed all that stuff I don't and so I I killed all that stuff I don't and so I I killed all that stuff I don't want it how were you able to find that want it how were you able to find that want it how were you able to find that they they have uh features there's a a they they have uh features there's a a they they have uh features there's a a couple of privacy and secure privacy couple of privacy and secure privacy couple of privacy and secure privacy features that allow you to switch it off features that allow you to switch it off features that allow you to switch it off but it was on and I know I never turned but it was on and I know I never turned but it was on and I know I never turned it on it on it on you know what I'm saying it's like one you know what I'm saying it's like one you know what I'm saying it's like one day all of a sudden when a word started day all of a sudden when a word started day all of a sudden when a word started you know suggesting uh things and asking you know suggesting uh things and asking you know suggesting uh things and asking me well do you want to hit tab for uh me well do you want to hit tab for uh me well do you want to hit tab for uh you know to uh use the predicted um text you know to uh use the predicted um text you know to uh use the predicted um text so I don't know so I don't know so I don't know um so what's Amazon doing um so what's Amazon doing um so what's Amazon doing yeah well I know it's an opt-out I mean yeah well I know it's an opt-out I mean yeah well I know it's an opt-out I mean David's right it's an opt out you have David's right it's an opt out you have David's right it's an opt out you have to you have to select the opt out of to you have to select the opt out of to you have to select the opt out of this thing but that's my issue my issue this thing but that's my issue my issue this thing but that's my issue my issue is is is think about how they filled out that think about how they filled out that think about how they filled out that coverage map coverage map coverage map yeah yeah yeah right so there's no I I'm gonna say 95 right so there's no I I'm gonna say 95 right so there's no I I'm gonna say 95 of those dots on those Maps of those dots on those Maps of those dots on those Maps don't know that they are on a public map
-
don't know that they are on a public map don't know that they are on a public map no way no way no way do you have a ring for sure you bought a do you have a ring for sure you bought a do you have a ring for sure you bought a ring camera you know Best Buy there's no ring camera you know Best Buy there's no ring camera you know Best Buy there's no freaking way you knew that you were freaking way you knew that you were freaking way you knew that you were going to become a a buy an Amazon map there's no freaking buy an Amazon map there's no freaking way no no casual consumer way no no casual consumer way no no casual consumer I I mean I'm sorry they they just don't I I mean I'm sorry they they just don't I I mean I'm sorry they they just don't they don't even they'll go uh what's they don't even they'll go uh what's they don't even they'll go uh what's that you know that you know that you know disgusting yeah well I know there's not disgusting yeah well I know there's not disgusting yeah well I know there's not going to be you know any anytime soon going to be you know any anytime soon going to be you know any anytime soon we're gonna see a uh we're gonna see a uh we're gonna see a uh bunch of people with ring cameras trying bunch of people with ring cameras trying bunch of people with ring cameras trying to get you know some money back from AWS to get you know some money back from AWS to get you know some money back from AWS uh that's not happening uh that's not happening uh that's not happening but you know but hey but you know what but you know but hey but you know what but you know but hey but you know what on the uh on the uh on the uh I don't know I think there's a positive I don't know I think there's a positive I don't know I think there's a positive spin to it if you're if you're a Creator spin to it if you're if you're a Creator spin to it if you're if you're a Creator if you're a developer that you know if you're a developer that you know if you're a developer that you know wants to throw something on it because wants to throw something on it because wants to throw something on it because here's the thing I asked here's the thing I asked here's the thing I asked and take the coverage map for what it is and take the coverage map for what it is and take the coverage map for what it is uh what I think is clever that you uh what I think is clever that you uh what I think is clever that you basically have these nodes out there in basically have these nodes out there in basically have these nodes out there in consumer land out there and you know and consumer land out there and you know and consumer land out there and you know and if you have a a DOT an echo a a a ring if you have a a DOT an echo a a a ring if you have a a DOT an echo a a a ring camera whatever these devices that means camera whatever these devices that means camera whatever these devices that means you have decent internet to backhaul it you have decent internet to backhaul it you have decent internet to backhaul it which that user is paying for and which that user is paying for and which that user is paying for and someone can just you know tack onto uh someone can just you know tack onto uh someone can just you know tack onto uh so you know I think I think that bit is so you know I think I think that bit is so you know I think I think that bit is clever and we'll see uh we'll see how clever and we'll see uh we'll see how clever and we'll see uh we'll see how many things you know uh get many things you know uh get many things you know uh get commercialized on this thing and uh commercialized on this thing and uh commercialized on this thing and uh we'll see you know everyone's just gonna
-
we'll see you know everyone's just gonna we'll see you know everyone's just gonna talk crap about why well helium thought talk crap about why well helium thought talk crap about why well helium thought about this first well how they doing and about this first well how they doing and about this first well how they doing and well you know you're gonna need friends well you know you're gonna need friends well you know you're gonna need friends similarity um it's similar but not uh no I mean the um it's similar but not uh no I mean the question is is is Amazon paying the question is is is Amazon paying the question is is is Amazon paying the people who are hosting hosting and uh people who are hosting hosting and uh people who are hosting hosting and uh you know who have bought the you know who have bought the you know who have bought the infrastructure and are paying for the infrastructure and are paying for the infrastructure and are paying for the electricity electricity electricity are they typically just uh using what they would typically just uh using what they would call unutilized or underutilized call unutilized or underutilized call unutilized or underutilized um you know resources and then they um you know resources and then they um you know resources and then they themselves are just packaging it and themselves are just packaging it and themselves are just packaging it and selling it and making a profit off of selling it and making a profit off of selling it and making a profit off of you know you know you know infrastructure I have a business partner that's playing I have a business partner that's playing with sidewalk they've actually built a with sidewalk they've actually built a with sidewalk they've actually built a module uh for because it's a Laura module uh for because it's a Laura module uh for because it's a Laura module basically you know as a combo module basically you know as a combo module basically you know as a combo um the question came up is saying that um the question came up is saying that um the question came up is saying that let's just say they came to the iot let's just say they came to the iot let's just say they came to the iot sensors store that we're building or my sensors store that we're building or my sensors store that we're building or my other little company that I have and we other little company that I have and we other little company that I have and we sell sidewalk compatible centers sell sidewalk compatible centers sell sidewalk compatible centers and subscription for the mobile app for and subscription for the mobile app for and subscription for the mobile app for a one-year program yeah do I owe any a one-year program yeah do I owe any a one-year program yeah do I owe any money to anybody like I would on any money to anybody like I would on any money to anybody like I would on any other network other network other network I mean I'm selling connectivity on a
-
I mean I'm selling connectivity on a I mean I'm selling connectivity on a free network that is basically under the free network that is basically under the free network that is basically under the ownership of an in of you know David's ownership of an in of you know David's ownership of an in of you know David's house you know what I mean house you know what I mean house you know what I mean and then do I do I charge sales tax and then do I do I charge sales tax and then do I do I charge sales tax because it's on a free network because it's on a free network because it's on a free network yeah yeah yeah um all that is I mean you know that's um all that is I mean you know that's um all that is I mean you know that's where regulations where regulations where regulations lag Innovation right I mean at some lag Innovation right I mean at some lag Innovation right I mean at some point somebody's gonna say and there's point somebody's gonna say and there's point somebody's gonna say and there's gonna I don't know and maybe there's an gonna I don't know and maybe there's an gonna I don't know and maybe there's an AWS person who can jump on or Alexa a AWS person who can jump on or Alexa a AWS person who can jump on or Alexa a person that can jump on and correct the person that can jump on and correct the person that can jump on and correct the super wrong I mean we could be wrong super wrong I mean we could be wrong super wrong I mean we could be wrong right but right but right but um somebody will you know they'll don't um somebody will you know they'll don't um somebody will you know they'll don't be a class action suit and saying hey be a class action suit and saying hey be a class action suit and saying hey look we didn't know this stuff and you look we didn't know this stuff and you look we didn't know this stuff and you know that whole typical yeah you know I know that whole typical yeah you know I know that whole typical yeah you know I mean I mean I I used Rob as an example mean I mean I I used Rob as an example mean I mean I I used Rob as an example in the conversation yesterday I said in the conversation yesterday I said in the conversation yesterday I said just imagine that Tiffany turned around just imagine that Tiffany turned around just imagine that Tiffany turned around and went to a farm or an orchard in and went to a farm or an orchard in and went to a farm or an orchard in Eastern Washington and put up 10 Eastern Washington and put up 10 Eastern Washington and put up 10 ring cameras or Echoes that are in an ring cameras or Echoes that are in an ring cameras or Echoes that are in an IP67 case out in the middle of an IP67 case out in the middle of an IP67 case out in the middle of an orchard and put the lore sensors to go orchard and put the lore sensors to go orchard and put the lore sensors to go through from there into there and he through from there into there and he through from there into there and he doesn't have to pay for anything doesn't have to pay for anything doesn't have to pay for anything boom I mean you know it depends on what boom I mean you know it depends on what boom I mean you know it depends on what you mean by it doesn't have to pay for you mean by it doesn't have to pay for you mean by it doesn't have to pay for anything right I mean if I back call it anything right I mean if I back call it anything right I mean if I back call it on a router he's paying for the Wi-Fi on a router he's paying for the Wi-Fi on a router he's paying for the Wi-Fi router you know he's paying for the
-
router you know he's paying for the router you know he's paying for the cable or whatever yeah yeah well yeah cable or whatever yeah yeah well yeah cable or whatever yeah yeah well yeah you you you're not paying maybe you're you you you're not paying maybe you're you you you're not paying maybe you're not paying anything for the service but not paying anything for the service but not paying anything for the service but you know it still boils down to you know it still boils down to you know it still boils down to infrastructure and capitalization and infrastructure and capitalization and infrastructure and capitalization and you know being able to monetize I can you know being able to monetize I can you know being able to monetize I can assure you that my my echo dot is a hell assure you that my my echo dot is a hell assure you that my my echo dot is a hell of a loss a lot less expensive than of a loss a lot less expensive than of a loss a lot less expensive than putting up a Laura Wayne Gateway in the putting up a Laura Wayne Gateway in the putting up a Laura Wayne Gateway in the middle of the field middle of the field middle of the field sure that's true yeah sure yeah sure sure that's true yeah sure yeah sure sure that's true yeah sure yeah sure yeah um you know it's it's um you know it's it's spaghetti mess oh yeah spaghetti mess oh yeah spaghetti mess oh yeah all right is there an opportunity though all right is there an opportunity though all right is there an opportunity though that's I forget the spaghetti mess is that's I forget the spaghetti mess is that's I forget the spaghetti mess is there an opportunity for people in the there an opportunity for people in the there an opportunity for people in the iot space to make a commitment to doing iot space to make a commitment to doing iot space to make a commitment to doing something with sidewalk something with sidewalk something with sidewalk that trackers kid trackers I don't know that trackers kid trackers I don't know that trackers kid trackers I don't know man because you know we um man because you know we um man because you know we um here we go back to the lowest common here we go back to the lowest common here we go back to the lowest common denominator of you know what the denominator of you know what the denominator of you know what the experience of the connectivity in you experience of the connectivity in you experience of the connectivity in you know in area n that I should you know know in area n that I should you know know in area n that I should you know expect and and if it's free-ish we can expect and and if it's free-ish we can expect and and if it's free-ish we can you know we know what the answer is you know we know what the answer is you know we know what the answer is going to get so I I I don't think so going to get so I I I don't think so going to get so I I I don't think so um and Steve you know to your point of um and Steve you know to your point of um and Steve you know to your point of you know here's the screen network what you know here's the screen network what you know here's the screen network what can I do with it there has to be can I do with it there has to be can I do with it there has to be some sort of uh onboarding of a device some sort of uh onboarding of a device some sort of uh onboarding of a device onto that Network I mean that that has onto that Network I mean that that has onto that Network I mean that that has to happen to happen to happen you know at some point and at my own you know at some point and at my own you know at some point and at my own border today and it is free you know border today and it is free you know border today and it is free you know it's this free resource you know it's
-
it's this free resource you know it's it's this free resource you know it's only going to take one bad quarter in only going to take one bad quarter in only going to take one bad quarter in that yeah that yeah that yeah hey pal hey pal hey pal that was a trial and now it's uh you that was a trial and now it's uh you that was a trial and now it's uh you know it's 20 bucks per thing if you want know it's 20 bucks per thing if you want know it's 20 bucks per thing if you want this yeah yeah this yeah yeah this yeah yeah that's a great Point David because I I that's a great Point David because I I that's a great Point David because I I agree one of the parts of the agree one of the parts of the agree one of the parts of the conversation yesterday were around okay conversation yesterday were around okay conversation yesterday were around okay if it's a Laura Wan scenario you'll have if it's a Laura Wan scenario you'll have if it's a Laura Wan scenario you'll have an LNS server and you kind of log it an LNS server and you kind of log it an LNS server and you kind of log it into the server in order to get into the server in order to get into the server in order to get provisions provisions provisions if you run in sidewalk and I sell a box if you run in sidewalk and I sell a box if you run in sidewalk and I sell a box of sensors to a home that is going to be of sensors to a home that is going to be of sensors to a home that is going to be sidewalk compatible yeah yeah well you know let's back up for a minute well you know let's back up for a minute well you know let's back up for a minute I mean what the hell do we mean by free I mean what the hell do we mean by free I mean what the hell do we mean by free there is free it's free based on what there is free it's free based on what there is free it's free based on what you're somebody you're somebody you're somebody it depends on what the definition of it it depends on what the definition of it it depends on what the definition of it is is is is is is what is is yeah I mean you have to what is is yeah I mean you have to what is is yeah I mean you have to that's an old one yeah but I mean that's an old one yeah but I mean that's an old one yeah but I mean seriously seriously seriously um it's an externality for someone else um it's an externality for someone else um it's an externality for someone else especially if there's no transparency especially if there's no transparency especially if there's no transparency and going back to what we were and going back to what we were and going back to what we were but what we started off with here is is but what we started off with here is is but what we started off with here is is there transparency there transparency there transparency um for the people who own the assets and um for the people who own the assets and um for the people who own the assets and um and you know it's open question maybe um and you know it's open question maybe um and you know it's open question maybe you know the AWS will say yes it is we you know the AWS will say yes it is we you know the AWS will say yes it is we have let everyone know have let everyone know have let everyone know um what what sidewalk is all about
-
um what what sidewalk is all about um what what sidewalk is all about maybe people are cool with it but is it maybe people are cool with it but is it maybe people are cool with it but is it is it really free or again people who is it really free or again people who is it really free or again people who are using the service who assume that are using the service who assume that are using the service who assume that it's free it's free it's free uh maybe like six months down the line uh maybe like six months down the line uh maybe like six months down the line there's a huge lawsuit and the next there's a huge lawsuit and the next there's a huge lawsuit and the next thing you know well that's you know that's been the well that's you know that's been the qualm with them for a while has been the qualm with them for a while has been the qualm with them for a while has been the privacy I don't know why people put these kind I don't know why people put these kind of things out because privacy is of things out because privacy is of things out because privacy is eventually going to matter like trust is eventually going to matter like trust is eventually going to matter like trust is gonna matter gonna matter gonna matter right now we don't but we don't value right now we don't but we don't value right now we don't but we don't value Trust Trust Trust but as we become victims of you know but as we become victims of you know but as we become victims of you know these trustless and these trustless and these trustless and you know nefarious things and just crap you know nefarious things and just crap you know nefarious things and just crap fake everything fake everything fake everything the only thing we can fall back on and the only thing we can fall back on and the only thing we can fall back on and we're gonna we're gonna look for is we're gonna we're gonna look for is we're gonna we're gonna look for is because what are these stuff because because what are these stuff because because what are these stuff because that I mean everything else is going to that I mean everything else is going to that I mean everything else is going to be detached from reality right be detached from reality right be detached from reality right and eventually it's going to be negative and eventually it's going to be negative and eventually it's going to be negative value and detrimental right I mean value and detrimental right I mean value and detrimental right I mean working fake information how how well working fake information how how well working fake information how how well can you operate your business off of can you operate your business off of can you operate your business off of fake information fake information fake information but you know I kind of knew that it's but you know I kind of knew that it's but you know I kind of knew that it's [ __ ] from yeah but I mean I knew at [ __ ] from yeah but I mean I knew at [ __ ] from yeah but I mean I knew at some particular Point AWS was going to some particular Point AWS was going to some particular Point AWS was going to open it up you know to the world right I open it up you know to the world right I open it up you know to the world right I mean you know you knew that was coming mean you know you knew that was coming mean you know you knew that was coming so if you look at going okay you opened so if you look at going okay you opened so if you look at going okay you opened it up it up it up you had to are you hedging your bet you had to are you hedging your bet you had to are you hedging your bet against opt outs and

against opt outs and against opt outs and privacy and security I mean what it I privacy and security I mean what it I privacy and security I mean what it I mean are you just because you're the you mean are you just because you're the you mean are you just because you're the you know the gazillion dollar company you know the gazillion dollar company you know the gazillion dollar company you don't give a [ __ ] I don't know don't give a [ __ ] I don't know don't give a [ __ ] I don't know um Mark what do you think Mark's like um Mark what do you think Mark's like um Mark what do you think Mark's like you know talking about now I didn't you know talking about now I didn't you know talking about now I didn't understand I didn't understand the understand I didn't understand the understand I didn't understand the problem with security problem with security problem with security what do you mean security I said privacy what do you mean security I said privacy what do you mean security I said privacy was there transparency does everyone who was there transparency does everyone who was there transparency does everyone who is actually hosting the network with is actually hosting the network with is actually hosting the network with their device in their home do they know their device in their home do they know their device in their home do they know that they're participating in this was that they're participating in this was that they're participating in this was it an opt out or opt-in and then it an opt out or opt-in and then it an opt out or opt-in and then you know you know you know is there truly consent for and support is there truly consent for and support is there truly consent for and support for this network because if there isn't for this network because if there isn't for this network because if there isn't that's actually a big risk that's actually a big risk that's actually a big risk because what's the because what's the because what's the yeah is that fine was there a check box yeah is that fine was there a check box yeah is that fine was there a check box they checked when they bought those they checked when they bought those they checked when they bought those products yeah yeah yeah okay hello like we know about right okay hello like we know about right okay hello like we know about right you're right yeah that's a lot of people you're right yeah that's a lot of people you're right yeah that's a lot of people do that and because of what we're trying do that and because of what we're trying do that and because of what we're trying to do so many sensors online we're like to do so many sensors online we're like to do so many sensors online we're like going okay well if I sell you a box of going okay well if I sell you a box of going okay well if I sell you a box of sidewalk compatible sensors sidewalk compatible sensors sidewalk compatible sensors does do I have a responsibility with the does do I have a responsibility with the does do I have a responsibility with the t's and C's t's and C's t's and C's to be associated with it being on to be associated with it being on to be associated with it being on Leonard's you know sidewalk Network at Leonard's you know sidewalk Network at Leonard's you know sidewalk Network at his house his house his house yeah yeah

yeah yeah yeah yeah um I mean you know and that's a big um I mean you know and that's a big um I mean you know and that's a big problem with privacy as well is problem with privacy as well is problem with privacy as well is um you know if you're if you're banking um you know if you're if you're banking um you know if you're if you're banking on opt out and let's call it just on opt out and let's call it just on opt out and let's call it just general general general um ignorance or um ignorance or um ignorance or uh lack of awareness because a lot most uh lack of awareness because a lot most uh lack of awareness because a lot most consumers like we said are just not consumers like we said are just not consumers like we said are just not going to understand this stuff going to understand this stuff going to understand this stuff but so one person one a few people to but so one person one a few people to but so one person one a few people to sit there and then shed a light on sit there and then shed a light on sit there and then shed a light on what's going on in simple terms and all what's going on in simple terms and all what's going on in simple terms and all of a sudden the network is at risk you of a sudden the network is at risk you of a sudden the network is at risk you know what I'm saying and so the people know what I'm saying and so the people know what I'm saying and so the people who are developers who are relying on who are developers who are relying on who are developers who are relying on this thing because all you have to do is this thing because all you have to do is this thing because all you have to do is say opt I'm gonna opt out say opt I'm gonna opt out say opt I'm gonna opt out and then all of a sudden nodes shut down and then all of a sudden nodes shut down and then all of a sudden nodes shut down what if they find out the nodes are what if they find out the nodes are what if they find out the nodes are still working after they opted out and still working after they opted out and still working after they opted out and they're still passing data wouldn't that they're still passing data wouldn't that they're still passing data wouldn't that be a scandal oh there's going to be a be a scandal oh there's going to be a be a scandal oh there's going to be a lawyer out there that's going to figure lawyer out there that's going to figure lawyer out there that's going to figure out how to make money off of that I mean out how to make money off of that I mean out how to make money off of that I mean come on so so I have I have to leave in come on so so I have I have to leave in come on so so I have I have to leave in about one minute so I'm going to give about one minute so I'm going to give about one minute so I'm going to give you a quick briefing but I'm at a you a quick briefing but I'm at a you a quick briefing but I'm at a conference in Houston it's called the conference in Houston it's called the conference in Houston it's called the carbon tracking and Reporting conference carbon tracking and Reporting conference carbon tracking and Reporting conference you probably never imagined that they'd you probably never imagined that they'd you probably never imagined that they'd have a conference like that it's have a conference like that it's have a conference like that it's attended by all Oil Company people attended by all Oil Company people attended by all Oil Company people mostly who are working in their mostly who are working in their mostly who are working in their emissions you have to report admission emissions you have to report admission emissions you have to report admission CPA and all that kind of stuff right and CPA and all that kind of stuff right and CPA and all that kind of stuff right and so it's mostly around greenhouse gases so it's mostly around greenhouse gases so it's mostly around greenhouse gases so methane and CO2 and all that kind of so methane and CO2 and all that kind of so methane and CO2 and all that kind of stuff and why am I here because I it's stuff and why am I here because I it's stuff and why am I here because I it's an iot use case measuring that's what an iot use case measuring that's what an iot use case measuring that's what iot is right so you know I'm gonna give
-
iot is right so you know I'm gonna give iot is right so you know I'm gonna give a presentation here soon and I'm going a presentation here soon and I'm going a presentation here soon and I'm going to walk through all the use cases and to walk through all the use cases and to walk through all the use cases and it's all iot sensors what's the sensor it's all iot sensors what's the sensor it's all iot sensors what's the sensor I'm measuring parts per million of CO2 I'm measuring parts per million of CO2 I'm measuring parts per million of CO2 right and methane and all that kind of right and methane and all that kind of right and methane and all that kind of stuff because guess what all these stuff because guess what all these stuff because guess what all these companies have to do reporting on this companies have to do reporting on this companies have to do reporting on this stuff stuff stuff um anyway I know this is a really um anyway I know this is a really um anyway I know this is a really obscure thing obscure thing obscure thing but it's actually a legit real iot use but it's actually a legit real iot use but it's actually a legit real iot use case uh I'll give you an example I won't case uh I'll give you an example I won't case uh I'll give you an example I won't tell you what Energy company but just to tell you what Energy company but just to tell you what Energy company but just to let you know how real this is let you know how real this is let you know how real this is because the reporting requirements these because the reporting requirements these because the reporting requirements these guys have to once a quarter go visit guys have to once a quarter go visit guys have to once a quarter go visit every pad drilling site and and take every pad drilling site and and take every pad drilling site and and take readings right with people on site readings right with people on site readings right with people on site taking readings of methane CO2 and other taking readings of methane CO2 and other taking readings of methane CO2 and other stuff and uh and then they do reporting stuff and uh and then they do reporting stuff and uh and then they do reporting to the EPA four times a year well they to the EPA four times a year well they to the EPA four times a year well they have 400 pad sites guess how much it's have 400 pad sites guess how much it's have 400 pad sites guess how much it's costing their company a year 35 million costing their company a year 35 million costing their company a year 35 million dollars just to go do that but there's dollars just to go do that but there's dollars just to go do that but there's no Revenue involved it's just like a no Revenue involved it's just like a no Revenue involved it's just like a giant burden and tax on the on them by giant burden and tax on the on them by giant burden and tax on the on them by having to physically visit all these having to physically visit all these having to physically visit all these sites and do this if this doesn't scream sites and do this if this doesn't scream sites and do this if this doesn't scream out as a legit use case for iot sensors out as a legit use case for iot sensors out as a legit use case for iot sensors Wireless how about continuous monitoring Wireless how about continuous monitoring Wireless how about continuous monitoring call me crazy yeah what's the call me crazy yeah what's the call me crazy yeah what's the application is the application done to application is the application done to application is the application done to be able to measure it in send it in be able to measure it in send it in be able to measure it in send it in yeah the application's just reporting I yeah the application's just reporting I yeah the application's just reporting I mean right yeah you're just you're just mean right yeah you're just you're just mean right yeah you're just you're just gonna there's like uh you know the gonna there's like uh you know the gonna there's like uh you know the global warming potential is a deal they global warming potential is a deal they global warming potential is a deal they talk about Mega uh megatons of CO2 that

talk about Mega uh megatons of CO2 that talk about Mega uh megatons of CO2 that kind of thing you'll your initial kind of thing you'll your initial kind of thing you'll your initial measurement will be parts per million uh measurement will be parts per million uh measurement will be parts per million uh for your sensor and then you'll do a for your sensor and then you'll do a for your sensor and then you'll do a conversion pre-reporting to report but conversion pre-reporting to report but conversion pre-reporting to report but anyway this just seems like so obvious anyway this just seems like so obvious anyway this just seems like so obvious and guess what every Oil Company on the and guess what every Oil Company on the and guess what every Oil Company on the planet has to do this stuff chemical planet has to do this stuff chemical planet has to do this stuff chemical companies everything and you tell your companies everything and you tell your companies everything and you tell your client that I will personally visit the client that I will personally visit the client that I will personally visit the Frac pads and I'll do it for 10 million see you later yeah hey Steve I don't see you later yeah hey Steve I don't want to ever hear you say that you hate want to ever hear you say that you hate want to ever hear you say that you hate regulation my God regulation created a gold mine no my God regulation created a gold mine no kidding yeah but I I don't know that kidding yeah but I I don't know that kidding yeah but I I don't know that David I think you're on for something I David I think you're on for something I David I think you're on for something I mean why can't we just go in there and mean why can't we just go in there and mean why can't we just go in there and just film for 10 million we'll save you just film for 10 million we'll save you just film for 10 million we'll save you 25 million and we'll figure out how to 25 million and we'll figure out how to 25 million and we'll figure out how to do it remotely do it remotely do it remotely but you know I mean I I I'll say this but you know I mean I I I'll say this but you know I mean I I I'll say this and maybe you know Rob can comment on it and maybe you know Rob can comment on it and maybe you know Rob can comment on it next week next week next week um like so I don't know if Rob just um like so I don't know if Rob just um like so I don't know if Rob just pulled that number out of his hat or pulled that number out of his hat or pulled that number out of his hat or somebody actually said it well no but somebody actually said it well no but somebody actually said it well no but hear me out let's just be friends for a hear me out let's just be friends for a hear me out let's just be friends for a second that this particular company second that this particular company second that this particular company really cost them 35 male per year who really cost them 35 male per year who really cost them 35 male per year who this this this 400 sites once a quarter because with a 400 sites once a quarter because with a 400 sites once a quarter because with a clipboard with a clipboard right because clipboard with a clipboard right because clipboard with a clipboard right because you now what we don't know is how

you now what we don't know is how you now what we don't know is how regulated is the the space which means regulated is the the space which means regulated is the the space which means people might need like a certification people might need like a certification people might need like a certification like it's not going to be just like me like it's not going to be just like me like it's not going to be just like me and Mark walking in there with with with and Mark walking in there with with with and Mark walking in there with with with cheap boots that we that we bought it cheap boots that we that we bought it cheap boots that we that we bought it right let's just you know you need right let's just you know you need right let's just you know you need specialized people specialized people specialized people you need you know some sort of you need you know some sort of you need you know some sort of specialized equipment specialized equipment specialized equipment it's just like 35 mil a year that's a it's just like 35 mil a year that's a it's just like 35 mil a year that's a lot of money those are the things that lot of money those are the things that lot of money those are the things that make me roll you know like look up like make me roll you know like look up like make me roll you know like look up like hold on if you have 35 mil a year like I hold on if you have 35 mil a year like I hold on if you have 35 mil a year like I mean like hire someone out like like I mean like hire someone out like like I mean like hire someone out like like I know you can you know do this with tech know you can you know do this with tech know you can you know do this with tech and and sometimes what it comes down to and and sometimes what it comes down to and and sometimes what it comes down to is is is um maybe it's actually not that much um maybe it's actually not that much um maybe it's actually not that much or there's some sort of like tax credit or there's some sort of like tax credit or there's some sort of like tax credit on the back end so the 35 is really five on the back end so the 35 is really five on the back end so the 35 is really five and five is not that much and I want to and five is not that much and I want to and five is not that much and I want to keep some guys from payroll here uh it's keep some guys from payroll here uh it's keep some guys from payroll here uh it's always it's always you know fun to get always it's always you know fun to get always it's always you know fun to get down to like what is this really costing down to like what is this really costing down to like what is this really costing your business yeah your business yeah your business yeah how much how much you know you would pay how much how much you know you would pay how much how much you know you would pay for you know an iot journey to deliver for you know an iot journey to deliver for you know an iot journey to deliver this uh but if it's 35 million I hope this uh but if it's 35 million I hope this uh but if it's 35 million I hope these people just give Rob a you know these people just give Rob a you know these people just give Rob a you know small team on a blank check and I know small team on a blank check and I know small team on a blank check and I know he could do it for half you know what he could do it for half you know what he could do it for half you know what yeah I mean it it smells like a lot of yeah I mean it it smells like a lot of yeah I mean it it smells like a lot of dirty laundry up in there you know what dirty laundry up in there you know what dirty laundry up in there you know what I'm saying and can you imagine if I was I'm saying and can you imagine if I was I'm saying and can you imagine if I was the CIO of this company

on on crowdsourcing if it's work if it's gonna work or not I if it's work if it's gonna work or not I if it's work if it's gonna work or not I don't know uh let's see if uh don't know uh let's see if uh don't know uh let's see if uh well you know there was a lot of hype well you know there was a lot of hype well you know there was a lot of hype about the price of the token and this is about the price of the token and this is about the price of the token and this is why there was a night right but there why there was a night right but there why there was a night right but there was nothing new there has been a lot of was nothing new there has been a lot of was nothing new there has been a lot of initiative doing exactly the same the initiative doing exactly the same the initiative doing exactly the same the only difference is these guys just only difference is these guys just only difference is these guys just because there's a token concept because there's a token concept because there's a token concept uh but uh yeah I don't it's safe Foxy uh but uh yeah I don't it's safe Foxy uh but uh yeah I don't it's safe Foxy the same uh the things network with the the same uh the things network with the the same uh the things network with the things Network code Source uh Global things Network code Source uh Global things Network code Source uh Global Network they did the same right uh and Network they did the same right uh and Network they did the same right uh and and orange the same and so on and so on and orange the same and so on and so on and orange the same and so on and so on so I don't know so I don't know so I don't know but it's super cool to see how different but it's super cool to see how different but it's super cool to see how different your perspectives are to this your perspectives are to this your perspectives are to this crowdsource right like I just want to crowdsource right like I just want to crowdsource right like I just want to call that I like it it looks like you call that I like it it looks like you call that I like it it looks like you guys are are arguing boy you're not it's guys are are arguing boy you're not it's guys are are arguing boy you're not it's just you're you're coming from your own just you're you're coming from your own just you're you're coming from your own perspective Mark makes things the guys perspective Mark makes things the guys perspective Mark makes things the guys that tinkerer so crowdsource open source that tinkerer so crowdsource open source that tinkerer so crowdsource open source has a very different meaning to Leonard has a very different meaning to Leonard has a very different meaning to Leonard who you know studies and writes about who you know studies and writes about who you know studies and writes about this stuff because Steve who's you know this stuff because Steve who's you know this stuff because Steve who's you know super real and is trying to look for the super real and is trying to look for the super real and is trying to look for the for the best thing but I for for Dinero for the best thing but I for for Dinero for the best thing but I for for Dinero but it's it's funny you know listen to but it's it's funny you know listen to but it's it's funny you know listen to you guys because you know open source you guys because you know open source you guys because you know open source you know two mark means like hey it's you know two mark means like hey it's you know two mark means like hey it's out there out there out there I can use it if it works and I could do I can use it if it works and I could do I can use it if it works and I could do something with it it's great if it goes something with it it's great if it goes something with it it's great if it goes away tomorrow it's okay because it's away tomorrow it's okay because it's away tomorrow it's okay because it's open source it wasn't some proprietary

open source it wasn't some proprietary open source it wasn't some proprietary thing that I signed a lengthy contract thing that I signed a lengthy contract thing that I signed a lengthy contract people made me promises that's that people made me promises that's that people made me promises that's that that's what it is anyway I just I just that's what it is anyway I just I just that's what it is anyway I just I just wanted to call that out because you you wanted to call that out because you you wanted to call that out because you you guys are you know just peppering with guys are you know just peppering with guys are you know just peppering with your perspective your perspective your perspective fascinating but here open is not magic fascinating but here open is not magic fascinating but here open is not magic and what it isn't it's also oftentimes and what it isn't it's also oftentimes and what it isn't it's also oftentimes not the answer and so that's a delusion not the answer and so that's a delusion not the answer and so that's a delusion and number one if you think that open and number one if you think that open and number one if you think that open source Technologies in and of themselves source Technologies in and of themselves source Technologies in and of themselves are Enterprise class or even consumer are Enterprise class or even consumer are Enterprise class or even consumer class you're high on crack class you're high on crack class you're high on crack um there has to be a business that makes um there has to be a business that makes um there has to be a business that makes it that way it that way it that way um and but you know here's the thing um and but you know here's the thing um and but you know here's the thing about uh you know Steve that you brought about uh you know Steve that you brought about uh you know Steve that you brought up viability is all that matters who up viability is all that matters who up viability is all that matters who gives a flying [ __ ] whether or not there gives a flying [ __ ] whether or not there gives a flying [ __ ] whether or not there is a Global lorawan Network the problem is a Global lorawan Network the problem is a Global lorawan Network the problem is that you have people who think that is that you have people who think that is that you have people who think that that somebody gives a crap about that that somebody gives a crap about that that somebody gives a crap about that stuff the thing is is that by and large stuff the thing is is that by and large stuff the thing is is that by and large what what is evident this is the what what is evident this is the what what is evident this is the evidence evidence evidence nobody gives a [ __ ] people did if people did helium would people did if people did helium would have gain they don't because they are have gain they don't because they are have gain they don't because they are not acceptable they ate a problem that not acceptable they ate a problem that not acceptable they ate a problem that people really give a fly well giving a people really give a fly well giving a people really give a fly well giving a flying crap for but here's the thing flying crap for but here's the thing flying crap for but here's the thing nobody will pay for crap nobody will pay for crap nobody will pay for crap but they'll pay for liability and so hey but they'll pay for liability and so hey but they'll pay for liability and so hey hats off to Winking in the uh uh uh you hats off to Winking in the uh uh uh you hats off to Winking in the uh uh uh you know the things industry for you know

The discussion revolves around the unreliability of current technology, specifically mentioning issues with microphones and the frustration with chatbot AI behavior.

The practical takeaway is to be aware of default settings on tech devices and to question what data is being collected and how it's being used, especially with AI features.
