00:04:10,520 the sun obscured by the moon. 54 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,840 This event marks the last solar eclipse North America will see for 20 years. 55 00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:22,720 The eclipse path begins in Mexico, crossing the U.S. from Texas to Maine. 56 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:29,080 Although not in the path of totality, San Diego offers one of the best views in California. 57 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,240 The next total solar eclipse visible in the contiguous U.S. won't occur until August 58 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,640 23, 2044. 59 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,780 Now on to sports. 60 00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:51,240 The Oakland Athletics are set to move from Oakland to Sacramento for the 2025-2027 baseball 61 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,960 seasons, with a potential extension into 2028, before relocating to Las Vegas. 62 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,960 This decision comes as their lease in Oakland expires, and negotiations with the city have 63 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,600 not yielded a new agreement. 64 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,360 Sacramento's Sutter Health Park, with a capacity possibly reaching 14,000, will host the A's 65 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,400 games. 66 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,240 This move is seen as a temporary measure, ahead of the team's planned relocation to 67 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,440 Las Vegas, where plans for a new stadium are underway, but face funding and legal challenges. 68 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Oakland, the A's home since 1968, has seen the team win four World Series and 17 division 69 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,320 titles. 70 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:46,120 Last night in local sports, the Clippers at home beat the Nuggets 102-100. 71 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,040 And in national hockey, the Kings at

play the Jazz. 74 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:11,040 In top news, Amazon has scaled back its Just Walkout technology from its Amazon Fresh stores 75 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,440 due to the need for significant manual monitoring. 76 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:21,760 However, it plans to continue using this technology in specific Amazon Go and UK Amazon Fresh 77 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,960 stores alongside smart carts to streamline the shopping process. 78 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:34,000 Meanwhile, startups like Grab and Go and Everseen are advancing cashier-free checkout technologies, 79 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,120 focusing on privacy-conscious methods, and improving customer experience. 80 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:46,400 Grab and Go uses computer vision for checkout-free shopping, much like driverless car technology, 81 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,600 avoiding facial recognition to protect privacy. 82 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,720 Everseen, facing challenges with its technology at Walmart, raised significant funding and 83 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:02,440 emphasizes non-confrontational, corrective measures for checkout errors. 84 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:08,060 These developments suggest a continued push towards enhancing in-person shopping efficiency 85 00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:13,620 while addressing privacy and security concerns. 86 00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:19,820 In business news, Dell Technologies stock has seen a significant surge, reaching new 87 00:07:19,820 --> 00:07:25,000 heights due to the booming demand for AI server hardware. 88 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,640 The company's recent success is attributed to the high demand for its AI servers, particularly 89 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:38,560 those powered by NVIDIA H100 chips, with a backlog of orders reaching $3 billion. 90 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,960 Dell's interest in AI servers extends beyond current backlogs, with anticipation for future 91 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:52,160 demand for servers utilizing AMD's MI300 GPU and upcoming NVIDIA chips. 92 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,600 This growth is not only limited to AI servers but also expected to influence AI PCs and 93 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:04,360 enterprise storage sectors, promising a significant shift in Dell's revenue composition towards 94 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,060 AI-capable products and services. 95 00:08:08,060 --> 00:08:18,240 In

excellent condition contribute to its high value. 127 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,200 This sale highlights the enduring legacy and fascination with Superman, coinciding with 128 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:13,080 the production of a new Superman film directed by James Gunn, set for release in July 2025. 129 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:19,760 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 130
