[0.00 --> 4.32] Well, here we are, fresh back from Denver. We're joined by Brent again, who's still hanging around.
[4.56 --> 6.52] And Chris, hey, hi, how are you doing, gentlemen?
[7.12 --> 8.74] Hello. Hey, Brent, thanks for coming in again.
[8.96 --> 10.36] Hey, thanks. It's good to be here.
[10.40 --> 14.46] You're like our de-Google correspondent, and we're going to be talking a lot about that this week.
[14.76 --> 15.44] Beep-de-beep, beep-de-beep.
[15.50 --> 16.34] Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep.
[18.38 --> 22.52] Yeah, well, my dumbass mentioned de-Googling just the week before.
[22.64 --> 26.36] We're taking a massive trip, and I'd have zero hours to actually do any prep for the episode.
[26.96 --> 33.50] Luckily, the audience saw fit to write in with about 800 emails telling us all the different ways that they're doing it.
[33.56 --> 37.20] So we're going to come across some of those later on in the show.
[37.72 --> 39.40] But in the meantime...
[39.40 --> 44.72] This episode is brought to you by a Cloud Guru, the leader in learning for the cloud, Linux, and other modern tech skills.
[44.98 --> 47.06] Hundreds of courses and thousands of hands-on labs.
[47.34 --> 50.66] Get certified, get hired, get learning at a cloudguru.com.
[51.14 --> 52.88] I followed through on my challenge, Alex.
[52.88 --> 65.00] I de-Googled my map experience, which was crazy because we are on the road, and I was navigating Denver and now Colorado Springs for the entire time, the duration of this challenge.
[65.36 --> 69.06] So I will report back on my results when we get to the feedback.
[69.50 --> 73.84] But I think we should start with this news story that, I don't know, it's kind of a bummer, actually.
[74.24 --> 75.64] I was really sad to see this, yes.
[75.64 --> 83.84] Back in episode 33, we did a review of the Helios 64 Ultimate Arm-Powered NAS.
[84.64 --> 88.70] And unfortunately, the Cobalt team today have announced on their blog that they're pulling the plug.
[89.20 --> 90.50] Yeah, no more.
[90.60 --> 94.28] They're not even going to do the next batch that there's already orders in the pipeline for.
[94.36 --> 96.50] They say it really comes down to just two key points.
[96.50 --> 103.88] There's ongoing difficulties with manufacturing and procuring parts and costs of getting higher and higher.
[104.56 --> 105.42] That's been a problem.
[105.50 --> 107.52] And they say, number two, they made a rookie mistake.
[107.70 --> 109.12] They stretched themselves too thin.
[109.64 --> 112.92] They essentially went into the Helios 64 while just being a three-man show.
