This 00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:34.960 achievement marked a major milestone in electric 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.159 illumination, inspiring broad development of 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.679 electric lighting systems and practical applications 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.939 that transformed homes and industry.

It looks like grin for a sunny 00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.840 Tuesday with a high near 65 and a breezy southwest 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.680 wind at 8 to 12 mile per hour, gusting up to 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.040 24 mile per hour.

In local news, this 00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:58.039 has Saturday on Boston Common, thousands gathered 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.379 for the No Kings protest, a massive peaceful 00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:05.240 demonstration. Drone and helicopter footage captured 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.039 the crowds, while local stations covered the 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.219 event live with thousands of photos taken and 00:03:11.219 --> 00:03:15.689 shared. However, within hours, social media erupted 00:03:15.689 --> 00:03:19.310 with false claims that MSNBC had aired recycled 00:03:19.310 --> 00:03:24.449 footage from 2017. This misinformation spread 00:03:24.449 --> 00:03:28.349 rapidly, fueled by an AI tool called Croc, which 00:03:28.349 --> 00:03:32.090 mistakenly misidentified the protest. Although 00:03:32.090 --> 00:03:35.490 PBC Verify later confirmed the footage's authenticity, 00:03:36.030 --> 00:03:38.310 the swift spread of disinformation highlights 00:03:38.310 --> 00:03:41.729 our tendency to believe technology over reality. 00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:45.620 So, before sharing, consider were you there, 00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:53.780 or are you just trusting a machine? Now onto 00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:57.780 sports. The Toronto Blue Jays are heading to 00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:01.759 their first World Series since 1993, powered 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.719 by George Springer's go -ahead three -run homer 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.219 in Monday's 4 -3 victory over the Seattle Mariners 00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:11.120 in Game 7 of the American League Championship 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.780 Series. World Series Game 1 will take place on 00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:19.240 Friday at 8 p .m. Eastern Time. Springer's 7 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.860 -dinning blast set off a frenzied celebration 00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:25.680 at Rogers Center. Toronto now advances to face 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.139 the Los Angeles Dodgers after overcoming a challenging 00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:33.459 series. And in football, the Lions remain competitive 00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:36.079 in the National Football League's toughest division, 00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:39.180 following a decisive victory over the Tampa Bay 00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:42.470 Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield struggled against 00:04:42.470 --> 00:04:47.029 Detroit, completing just 228 yards with an interception 00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:52.189 in a 24 -9 loss. With this win, the Lions improved 00:04:52.189 --> 00:04:55.430 their record to five wins and two losses, sitting 00:04:55.430 --> 00:04:58.050 in second place in the National Football Conference 00:04:58.050 --> 00:05:00.910 North Division, trailing the Green Bay Packers 00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:04.350 by mere percentage points. The Division has seen 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:07.889 a remarkable 16 victories so far, with no team 00:05:07.889 --> 00:05:12.439 below a 500 record. Detroit's continuity and 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.540 offensive strength make them a formidable contender 00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:20.819 this season. In local sports, the Celtic star 00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:24.040 Jalen Brown provided an update on his hamstring 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.839 injury. Brown said he wasn't too concerned when 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.300 the injury occurred. He practiced fully on Monday 00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:34.060 and stated he feels great after tweaking his 00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:36.519 hamstring during the preseason finale against 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.759 the Raptors. When asked about playing in the 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.120 regular season opener against the 76ers this 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.319 coming Wednesday, Brown said, we'll see. His 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.600 departure from the Toronto game seemed to be 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.040 a precautionary measure. Brown appeared to be 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.579 moving well after practice and mentioned he is 00:05:55.579 --> 00:06:01.899 taking it one day at a time. In top news, gone 00:06:01.899 --> 00:06:05.779 in seven minutes is how the Lou Heist unfolded. 00:06:06.469 --> 00:06:08.850 France's crown jewels are missing, stolen from 00:06:08.850 --> 00:06:11.490 the world's largest museum in a plot straight 00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:14.810 out of a film script. It took less than seven 00:06:14.810 --> 00:06:18.089 minutes to pull off one of the world's most spectacular 00:06:18.089 --> 00:06:22.050 heists. A gang of brazen burglars targeted the 00:06:22.050 --> 00:06:25.069 Louvre in broad daylight and fled with priceless 00:06:25.069 --> 00:06:28.370 jewels. The theft occurred shortly after the 00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:31.189 museum opened on the first weekend of the All 00:06:31.189 --> 00:06:34.949 Saints Day holiday. Alarms were triggered. but 00:06:34.949 --> 00:06:37.930 the thieves managed to steal eight items of priceless 00:06:37.930 --> 00:06:42.009 heritage value. Investigation efforts are underway, 00:06:42.350 --> 00:06:46.189 with about 60 investigators involved. The Minister 00:06:46.189 --> 00:06:49.089 of Culture stated that organized crime appears 00:06:49.089 --> 00:06:54.949 to be involved. In business news, Wall Street 00:06:54.949 --> 00:06:58.110 is starting to get a little defensive as utilities, 00:06:58.509 --> 00:07:01.449 health care stocks, and consumer staples lead 00:07:01.449 --> 00:07:05.870 the S &P 500 this month. These sectors tend to 00:07:05.870 --> 00:07:08.509 perform well regardless of economic conditions, 00:07:08.829 --> 00:07:11.490 with electricity, drugs, and groceries always 00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:15.089 in demand. However, investors are pulling back 00:07:15.089 --> 00:07:18.009 from more sensitive sectors, like regional banks 00:07:18.009 --> 00:07:20.870 and airlines, raising concerns about potential 00:07:20.870 --> 00:07:24.670 weaknesses. The recent market turbulence, fueled 00:07:24.670 --> 00:07:27.430 by trade war rhetoric, has investors worried, 00:07:27.709 --> 00:07:30.829 while major stock indexes remain close to record 00:07:30.829 --> 00:07:34.819 highs. Analysts expect strong corporate earnings 00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:37.879 growth, but caution that a sluggish labor market 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.100 may impact consumer spending. In crypto movement, 00:07:42.899 --> 00:07:48.839 Bitcoin is down 3 % to $108 ,000. Ethereum is 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:54.279 down 4 % to just under $3 ,900. And HexRP is 00:07:54.279 --> 00:08:01.269 down 1 % to $2 .43. Moving on to a more local 00:08:01.269 --> 00:08:05.069 vibe.

And now back to the show. 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.799 Let's talk tech. Your browser sends a lot of 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.360 information with each website you visit, which 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.620 can be used to track you across the internet. 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.139 You are constantly leaving your fingerprint all 00:08:59.139 --> 00:09:01.799 over the internet with personal information you 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:06.440 share voluntarily and involuntarily. Most targeted 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.620 advertising uses fingerprinting instead of cookies, 00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:12.879 allowing advertisers to track your behavior online 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.779 without needing unique identifiers. There are 00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:19.720 no laws banning browser fingerprinting, but companies 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.539 must comply with privacy regulations if they 00:09:22.539 --> 00:09:26.440 create unique identifiers. To enhance privacy, 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.820 consider using browsers like Brave or Firefox, 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:35.919 which offer fingerprinting protections. And in 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.500 entertainment news, many of this year's busiest 00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:42.179 films are struggling to profit at the box office. 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.820 For instance, The Smashing Machine experienced 00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:49.679 a 70 % decline in its second weekend, generating 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:55.759 $18 .8 million. Similarly, Roof Men debuted with 00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:00.559 only $8 million. Box office analyst Sean Robbins 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.779 notes that these prestige -type films have not 00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:07.299 created enough excitement. Warner Bros. spent 00:10:07.299 --> 00:10:12.100 over $130 million on one battle after another, 00:10:12.539 --> 00:10:17.370 which is projected to lose $100 million. Despite 00:10:17.370 --> 00:10:20.490 the challenges, Analyst Hope Studios will continue 00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:25.429 producing varied films to boost attendance. Well, 00:10:25.429 --> 00:10:28.350 alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:32.450 day.
