Kim Komando Daily Tech Update
Kim Komando's 2025 tech predictions: part 1
Do not touch your phone right after today's tech update. We're diving into a must-here call for my weekend Kim Commando show that you can get us a podcast. It's called Kim Commando Today. - Welcome to 2025. Here are my top tech predictions, the ones that directly affect all our lives. I'm Kim Commando for NetSuite. Be sure to download the CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning. It's free at netsuite.com/Kim. This year, some big loose ends are gonna get tied up beginning with TikTok. The new president doesn't want TikTok shut down. He wants it in our hands. So look for an American billionaire to buy TikTok soon. Also here in 2025, our weather forecast will make a quantum leap forward as AI brings unprecedented accuracy to hurricane and tornado forecasting. Next, doctors will begin using AI to bring stunning new x-ray and scan interpretations and catch many illnesses months, even year sooner. And electric vehicle sales will slide even worse as the new Congress and President rollback the EV mandates and gas prices plummet. I predict by $2 a gallon. Tomorrow, even more predictions for the new year. And in 2025, you need to be tech ahead. Sign up for my free newsletter at getkim.com. - How dangerous is it to unwrap a burger at 40 miles per hour? More so than you think. In a little over two seconds, your car can travel slightly more than 117 feet, which is the same length as 20 bicycles. Anything that distracts you while driving is dangerous. That's why driving while texting can be deadly too. So heads up, phones down. It's the law and you can be fined. A message from the Colorado Department of Transportation. Make it your new year's resolution to stop weaving. Starting January 1st, crossing the solid lines on the central 70 US 36 and I 25 South Gap Express lanes will result in a $75 fine. Cross the line, pay the fine. Learn more at Colorado Express lanes.com. - Hey there, tech lovers and wannabees. Wanna stay ahead of the game? You've got to check out my YouTube channel. It's amazing.

Hi there, Greg. How are you today? Great, what's going on? Oh, I was looking for a program. I didn't know if it exists. If you're on your system and you're taking Zoom classes or some other training course where it can actually record all of the content that's on the screen and then just put it in a file. So let's say maybe that night or tomorrow or the next day, you can call it up and you can see all the files, all the pictures, all the graphs and everything or questions that were presented in the class or the program. That's awesome. What kind of class you taking online? It's all different types of continuing education type stuff, you know, from soup to nuts, you know. They were from, let's say, from financial management to HR. You know, everybody's doing stuff online and they throw all this stuff up there and they throw all the questions up there and you know, you can't do a print screen or something. You're sitting there trying to write all this stuff. You're like, "Whoa, this is bad. This is, I can't get all this." Maybe I should have had more coffee this morning. Okay, here's a deal is that you are using Windows or Mac? Windows 11. Okay, with Windows, you actually have a built-in screen recorder. You're like, "Whoa, didn't know that." Magical key is that Windows key and plus the letter G and then that's gonna pop up a screen and that's where you can record what's happening on the screen. So there's all these classes you're talking about, the graphics, the questions, the slides, everything is gonna be saved into a file right on your computer. We've got steps on how to use that over on commando.com. Now, if you find that you need more flexibility, there's a program called OBS. It's been around forever and it works on Windows and Mac. And so if you're trying to record what's happening on the screen, like in a class, as you mentioned, or even if it's like maybe part of a YouTube video that you don't wanna download it, but you just wanna certain part of it, then it really does make it easy. So you're not sitting there just trying to like, remember every single thing that's going on and writing it down or taking your phone and recording that screen 'cause I know a lot of folks will do that too. So again, Windows now has a built-in screen recorder. It's again, that's Windows key plus the letter G. And if that doesn't work out for your OBS, like I mentioned, it's been around for a long, long time and that's another program. Just hang on the line, Greg, we're gonna send you links out to Microsoft and also over on our website and also OBS so this way you can check it out. And thanks for your call today.
