Its introduction marked 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.060 a milestone in user -centered design, inspiring 00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:38.259 rapid innovation in personal computing and changing 00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:41.659 how people interacted with computers and software 00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:47.880 worldwide. So now you know. And now, it's time 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:53.640 for the Surf Report. Thursday at Tourmaline. 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.479 This morning it's looking clean with waves around 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:01.329 2 to 4 feet. Conditions should hold steady through 00:01:01.329 --> 00:01:04.090 the morning, but expect them to get choppy by 00:01:04.090 --> 00:01:07.709 noon as the wind shifts onshore at 4 miles per 00:01:07.709 --> 00:01:11.189 hour. Waves will likely remain in the 2 to 4 00:01:11.189 --> 00:01:14.450 feet range throughout the afternoon.

Sunday brings steadier conditions 00:02:01.569 --> 00:02:04.670 with waves building to three plus feet, making 00:02:04.670 --> 00:02:07.450 it the most consistent day for surfing this period. 00:02:09.569 --> 00:02:12.370 This morning, it's mostly cloudy, and it feels 00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:17.030 like 58 degrees with no wind. The sunset will 00:02:17.030 --> 00:02:20.129 take place at 512, and it will rise again tomorrow 00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:24.490 at 651.

In local news, San Diego 00:03:46.419 --> 00:03:49.539 City Councilman Sean Aloe Rivera has proposed 00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:52.879 a tax on vacant second homes and vacation rentals, 00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:55.680 stating these properties drive up housing costs 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.539 for students. On Tuesday, he gathered with educators. 00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:02.719 Students in policy advocates at Torrey Pines 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.419 Elementary School to discuss the empty second 00:04:05.419 --> 00:04:09.759 home and vacation rental tax. Hilo Rivera emphasized 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.080 that students shouldn't be pushed out of San 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.360 Diego as vacant homes lead to higher rents and 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.639 fewer options. The proposed tax would impact 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.000 less than 1 % of San Diegans and could generate 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.939 up to $90 million annually. Local educators highlighted 00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:30.000 that housing instability disrupts education, 00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:33.459 reinforcing that housing policy is education 00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:43.970 policy. Now on to sports.

He received a sentence of two years 00:04:53.029 --> 00:04:55.769 in prison for defrauding sports betting platforms 00:04:55.769 --> 00:04:59.230 using non -public information to place significant 00:04:59.230 --> 00:05:02.509 wagers on prop bets related to players Jaunte 00:05:02.509 --> 00:05:07.490 Porter and Terry Rozier. Judge Lashon Deersee 00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:10.060 Hall stated, There is no question that this is 00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:13.339 a serious crime, emphasizing the impact on the 00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:17.139 integrity of sports. Porter has been banned from 00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:20.800 the NBA, while Rozier awaits trial on multiple 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.079 charges. In local sports, Mike McDaniel is reportedly 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.779 in the process of becoming the next offensive 00:05:29.779 --> 00:05:32.360 coordinator for the Chargers, which presents 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.740 an exciting opportunity for San Diego area fans. 00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:39.839 Known for his innovative offense, McDaniel previously 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.959 coached the Miami Dolphins, where he faced challenges 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.980 but also showcased his creative play calling. 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.279 He will now work with quarterback Justin Herbert, 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.319 whose unique skill set aligns perfectly with 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.879 McDaniel's approach. Chargers fans should anticipate 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.000 a dynamic offense that combines size and speed, 00:05:59.540 --> 00:06:02.079 potentially revitalizing the team's performance 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.399 in the upcoming season. McDaniel's tenure with 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.819 the Chargers could mark a significant turning 00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:13.959 point for the franchise.

This remarkable find offers 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.220 new insights into early human cognition and migration 00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:33.709 to Australia. Located on Muna, A tropical island 00:06:33.709 --> 00:06:36.970 off southeastern Sulawesi, the cave called Liang 00:06:36.970 --> 00:06:40.750 Medinduno features prehistoric paintings, including 00:06:40.750 --> 00:06:44.069 flying human figures in boats. The claw -like 00:06:44.069 --> 00:06:46.709 stencil is the oldest rock art attributed to 00:06:46.709 --> 00:06:49.870 modern humans, revealing sophisticated cognition 00:06:49.870 --> 00:06:53.550 during the Late Pleistocene Epoch. Researchers 00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:56.730 used advanced dating techniques, confirming the 00:06:56.730 --> 00:06:59.569 ancient art's significance in understanding human 00:06:59.569 --> 00:07:03.480 intelligence and migration. In business news, 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.600 the Supreme Court is likely to hand Trump a rare 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.740 loss on the Federal Reserve. Trump's attempts 00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:13.360 to bully the Federal Reserve received an icy 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.879 reception from the justices. The Court's Republican 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.660 majority typically believes that President Donald 00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:23.019 Trump can fire nearly anyone working for a federal 00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:27.339 agency. However, in Trump v. Wilcox, the Court 00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:30.279 indicated that the Federal Reserve is a uniquely 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.339 structured entity. preventing Trump from firing 00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:36.959 its leaders. During oral arguments in Trump v. 00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:40.120 Cook, justices appeared skeptical of Trump's 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.420 claims against Fed Governor Lisa Cook, questioning 00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:46.180 the validity of alleged mortgage discrepancies. 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.579 Most justices seemed to agree that Trump should 00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:52.339 not be able to dictate Federal Reserve policy 00:07:52.339 --> 00:07:57.480 and crypto movement.

The two companies are planning to 00:09:09.970 --> 00:09:12.830 form a new joint venture that will carry the 00:09:12.830 --> 00:09:16.710 Sony and Bragia branding. Sony has announced 00:09:16.710 --> 00:09:19.789 plans to spin off its television hardware business, 00:09:20.210 --> 00:09:23.029 shifting it to a new joint venture with TCL. 00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:26.340 The companies have signed a non -binding agreement 00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:31.179 with TCL set to hold a 51 % stake and Sony holding 00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:35.340 49%. This partnership could mark the end of an 00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:37.940 era for Sony and may lead to more affordable 00:09:37.940 --> 00:09:40.919 Braggia televisions with superior technology. 00:09:41.899 --> 00:09:44.279 They aim to finalize binding agreements by the 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:53.850 end of March 2027. The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere 00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:58.490 in Las Vegas has hit $260 million in ticket sales. 00:09:59.450 --> 00:10:02.049 This project, which took two years to develop 00:10:02.049 --> 00:10:06.110 and carried a $100 million price tag, now serves 00:10:06.110 --> 00:10:09.190 as a template for Hollywood's adaptation of classic 00:10:09.190 --> 00:10:13.090 intellectual property. Since its debut on August 00:10:13.090 --> 00:10:16.549 28th of last year, the reimagined classic has 00:10:16.549 --> 00:10:20.350 sold 2 million tickets. While ticket prices differ 00:10:20.350 --> 00:10:25.169 significantly, $260 million in sales ranks ninth 00:10:25.169 --> 00:10:28.649 domestically among theaters last year. Plans 00:10:28.649 --> 00:10:32.169 for an Oz 2 .0 experience are set for the upcoming 00:10:32.169 --> 00:10:36.710 summer with new features being considered. Well, 00:10:36.710 --> 00:10:39.490 all righty folks, it's time for the quote of 00:10:39.490 --> 00:10:43.409 the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:46.850 American architect and futurist, R. Buckminster 00:10:46.850 --> 00:10:50.519 Fuller. And he said, You never change things 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.080 by fighting the existing reality. To change something, 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.100 build a new model that makes the existing model 00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:01.259 obsolete.
