And welcome back everyone to wake up a chatter. I make
time for a good to know headlines this morning.
A new law that was passed in California last year
could change how much people pay for electricity each year,
each month.
The proposed changes will be based on how much money
people make and not on their monthly electricity usage.
It requires utility regulators to come up with
a plan for charging customers income based rates.
The current proposed charges mean people making under $28,000
per year to pay between 15 to $24.
People making upwards of $69,000 would pay between 20 to $30 and those making
more than 100 and 80,000 would pay between 92 to 100 and $28.
I have solar panels. This is not something I worry about a baker. I
know
bills are very high.
Yeah, so we should know that there's we don't know if this will end up passing or not.
This is still something that is still up for debate.
Obviously, this has enraged a lot of Californians who, as you mentioned,
probably have solar panels who probably are making a lot of money
and are actually making the investments to maybe look for cleaner alternatives.
They're getting charged more as a result of this.
So there's obviously outrage there.
And then this gets to sort of a larger point which is maybe those who were conserving,
who maybe do make a lot of money and getting charged extra because of all of that.
So that's why there's a lot of concern here if this actually
ends up passing here uh at the end of the day.
But then the flip side of the argument is you have people
potentially who are not making tons of money and their bills are 100
their bills are hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
California, we should note the highest electricity bills in the entire country.
They are twice the national average across the board.
So again,
looking for reprieve for people who probably have lower
incomes trying to find a different way here.
But obviously, this is something that we don't know will pass at the end of the day.
It's up for heated debate right now in California.
Uh Apple, by the way,
guys has finally corrected that auto correct
issue in their upcoming iphone software update.
That's about ducking time
iphone users have long been annoyed while typing out that common
curse word that we all know that previously iphone software would change
to the word duck that left users having to fix that
word repeatedly while in Apple's new iphone update I OS 17,
which will arrive later this year,
iphone keyboards will apparently feature quote more
accurate than ever text suggestions and will
command words to users based on what they've typed before.
A lot of this is also using new artificial intelligence technology as well.
The other thing that I like that apparently this is doing
is it's also gonna fix your grammar in certain situations.
So for instance, if you're typing,
yo you are and you need to have your apostrophe in there, it will adjust that for you.
It's more predictive based on your stuff in the past rather than sort
of like the general algorithm of what Apple thinks you should be saying.
How many times do you use ducking?
Um Well, my friend now, no,
I'm using ducking all the time because I it's always changing it all the time
and the problem. Yeah, exactly.
And I think that's part of the joke now because everybody's like, oh,
you must be ducking.
But that's the thing that's so funny is like,
why did Apple even change it to that word anyway?
Like nobody has ever used the word ducking in a sentence,
especially when you're using it in a curse word, you know.
All right.
Coming up,
we're talking about the air quality warnings here in
New York and across the northern United States.
Have you looked outside here in the tri state?
That story along with your needs to know headlines
when wake up with Che returns to go anywhere.
