semi-choppy afternoons. 14 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:20,280 Thursday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking clean to fair at 2 feet until 11 a.m. 15 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,960 After that, it's

00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:13,240 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. 24 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:19,240 Then it should turn partly sunny with a high around 67 accompanied by a light

born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park with the arrival 41 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,040 of a newborn aardvark cub marking a first for the park. 42 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,960 The cub was born in July to mother Padme and father Azzan, who previously sired another 43 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,800 cub at the San Diego Zoo in 2022. 44 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Aardvarks with their unique appearance and nocturnal habits are native to sub-Saharan 45 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,240 Africa. 46 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Although not currently endangered, they face increasing risks from habitat loss and human 47 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,240 activities. 48 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,280 After a gestation period of about seven months, mother aardvarks teach their young vital skills 49 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:18,840 for finding and digging for ants and termites. 50 00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:21,760 Now on to sports. 51 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:28,280 Netflix's ambition to have Tom Brady call a Christmas Day game has hit a snag. 52 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:32,560 The streaming service plans to broadcast the Kansas City cheese against the Pittsburgh 53 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,960 Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens versus the Houston Texans on December 25th. 54 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,840 Netflix initially sought to feature Brady alongside Kevin Burkhardt for the Chief Steelers 55 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:47,960 matchup, but Fox declined this request. 56 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:56,640 Now Netflix is considering Iain Eagle, Noah Eagle, Greg Olsen, and Nate Berlson as alternatives. 57 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:03,880 While Iain Eagle and Berlson work for CBS Sports, Noah Eagle is with NBC. 58 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,040 Fox may consider allowing Olsen to join the broadcast. 59 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:14,600 Tonight on Thursday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys at 1 and 2 take on the New York Giants, 60 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,360 also at 1 and 2 at MetLife

00:05:32,360 The Cowboys are favored by 6 points. 64 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,680 In local sports. 65 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,440 Last night in Los Angeles, the Padres fell to the Dodgers 4-3. 66 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,360 Despite a solo shot from Tatis Jr. in the 5th inning, the Friars couldn't overcome 67 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,280 the Dodgers' solid pitching. 68 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:54,040 Danny Machado scored on Xander Bogart's second-inning single, and Jake Cronenworth doubled in the 69 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,120 second to bring Bogart's home. 70 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,320 Estrada took the loss, allowing two runs over three innings. 71 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,160 Although the Padres' bullpen held strong, the Dodgers' early offense proved too much 72 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,520 to handle. 73 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:14,760 Tonight, the Padres are back at Dodger Stadium for a 7-10 first pitch. 74 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Joe Musgrove, with an e-array of 2.25, will take on Walker Bueller. 75 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,240 Expect mild weather with temperatures around 69 degrees in LA. 76 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,960 In top news, as Hurricane Helene approaches Florida's northern Gulf Coast, marine scientists 77 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,400 and engineers are deploying a fleet of drones to track its path. 78 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,800 These autonomous devices can navigate the turbulent area between air and water, where 79 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,040 heat fuels the storm, producing intense winds, waves, and rain. 80 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:57,880 This advanced technology enhances storm predictions and aids in understanding hurricane intensification. 81 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,600 Various instruments, including satellites, planes, drones, and buoys, are positioned 82 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,840 at different altitudes to gather crucial atmospheric and oceanographic data. 83 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,340 This coordinated effort aims to quickly assess Helene's intensity and trajectory, ultimately 84 00:07:15,340 --> 00:07:19,400 improving meteorological forecasts. 85 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:27,060 In business news, NVIDIA stock increased by as much as 3% on Wednesday following an industry 86 00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:33,980 report that predicted unprecedented levels of investment in artificial intelligence. 87 00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:39,120 The annual technology report from consulting firm Bain states that companies will need 88 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:45,480 to invest significantly in technology infrastructure to capitalize on the artificial intelligence 89 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,120 boom. 90 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,640 According to the report, while large data centers currently cost between $1 billion 91 00:07:52,640 --> 00:08:00,960 and $4 billion, future costs could rise to between $10 and $25 billion. 92 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,740 NVIDIA expects to earn $10 billion in revenue from government investments in artificial 93 00:08:06,740 --> 00:08:13,180 intelligence in 2024, a substantial increase from zero last year. 94 00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:19,960 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,700. 95 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,560 Ethereum is just over $2,600. 96 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:29,160 And Solana is $149. 97 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,560 Moving on to a more local vibe. 98 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:38,500 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 99 00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:42,840 to

Let's talk tech. 109 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:28,280 Meta is discontinuing the Quest Pro, its high-end virtual reality headset, that launched in 110 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:34,000 2022 and which we described as not very good. 111 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,680 The company plans to sell remaining Quest Pro headsets until they are gone or until 112 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:40,840 the end of the year. 113 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,880 While Meta did not specify the reasons for this decision, the headset received poor reviews 114 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,480 with many rating it a mere 4 out of 10. 115 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:59,720 The Quest Pro was originally priced at $1,499 but was later reduced to $999, which was still 116 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,840 high compared to the newer, better Quest 3 at $499. 117 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,240 Additionally, Meta is also discontinuing the Quest 2, which is 4 years old. 118 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Entertainment news. 119 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:23,120 Marking his own journey through high school with his group of misfit friends, Sam Levine, 120 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,280 reflecting on the show's 25th anniversary, expressed gratitude to the creator and directors 121 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,560 for giving a comedy-loving teenage nerd that kind of opportunity. 122 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:41,800 Levine shared on Instagram, 25 years, some days I can't believe it's been that long. 123 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,120 He emphasized how freaks and geeks continues to resonate, saying, 124 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:51,560 A quarter century later, I'm truly humbled at how it is still being talked about, still 125 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:56,000 finding new fans, and still bringing joy to so many people. 126 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,760 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 127 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,520 And today, our quote comes from the American actor, Christopher Reeve. 128 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,520 And he said, 129 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:15,560 A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite 130 00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:19,480 of overwhelming obstacles. 131 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,040 And that's a wrap for this morning. 132 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,960 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
