1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: This is a podcast from WOR.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: Back now to the WOR Saturday Morning Show with Larry MINTI.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 3: Welcome back this week. Rich Demiro from rich on Tech

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 3: filled this in on an FBI warning about a cyber

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 3: attack by Iran using a popular app.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Rich, could you sort of describe how that works because

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: I gotta believe that the Israelis are listening in on

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: whatever is being said on Telegram.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, good morning too, Curtis and Larry. Here's the deal.

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: I use Telegram. It is a very popular app. I'm

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: actually surprised that high level government officials are using this

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: because it is not end to end encrypted by default.

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: What does that mean? It means that other people could

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: potentially see the messages that are exchanged on this platform.

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: If you look at I Message, if you look at WhatsApp,

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: if you look at Signal, which is a popular among

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: government officials, those are all end to end encrypted. That

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: means that nobody, not even the developers of that app,

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: are able to see anything you exchange inside that app,

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: whereas something like a Telegram they could if they wanted to.

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: Let me ask you about something else. And I just

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: had this conversation with my son because I'm still learning

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: after all these years how to use my iPhone. And

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: one of the things you said to me is that

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: you can put on do not disturb and you can

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: pick out certain people. Certain calls can get through, others

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: ones can't, and even text. Right, So how do you

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: do this?

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is called a focus mode in general.

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: You know, you go to your control center, which is

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: by swiping down in the upper right hand corner of

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: your phone. You get all those controls. You'll see a

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: little item that says focus. You tap in there and

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: you've got do not Disturb, you've got sleep, so you

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: can go in and edit just the people that you

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 1: want to be able to what I call break through

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: these modes when your phone is on silent. That's one

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: way of doing it. But there's another way that I've

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: discovered that's even easier if you just want to make

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: sure no matter what. But let's say your spouse, your partner,

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: a work colleague, your boss, no matter what focus mode

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: your phone is on, whether it's on silent, do not disturb,

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: they will always be able to ring your phone. There's

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: a feature called emergency Bypass, and you can do this

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: on both iPhone and Android. You go into your contact

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: you basically hit edit and you tap ring tone. And

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be something that most people would look for.

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: You would never look under this. And there's a switch

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: that says emergency bypass. When you turn that on, no

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: matter what mode your phone is in, when that person

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: calls you, it will ring your phone. I have this

52
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: set for my wife and it is fantastic because I

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: can if she had an accident a couple weeks ago

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: and she got right through no problem.

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: You know, I'm looking at it as you described that.

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: I was going through it as you described it, and

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: I try to text my son all the time and

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: it's always on do not disturb. When I try to

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: call him, it said that he's like, he can't be disturbed,

60
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: but he can set up an emergency for me, and

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: he chooses not to. So I should be offended, right.

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: You need to tell him, Hey, it's funny. Apple started

63
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: revealing that you can turn that off, by the way,

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: but it tells other people when your phone is on silent,

65
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: like he says, this person has to not disturb enabled.

66
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: You can turn that off in your settings. I don't

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

68
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: To let people know. I don't know if I want

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: people to know that my phone is on silent, like

70
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm just ignoring you. I have that right to do that, right.

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: My son doesn't on paying for his college. What are

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: you talking about?

73
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: You might be paying for his phone line too, so

74
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: you are matter of fact.

75
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 2: Good point there you go, speaking of sons. I have

76
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: three sons, like remember the program My three sons. My

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: youngest son, he texts me yesterday, Maybe you can help

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: me with this rich DeMuro. He goes, hey, Dad, can

79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: you fix the trains? I have no WiFi? And I said, son,

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: if I had been elected to Maya, I might have

81
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: been able to do that. But I want to extrapolate

82
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: that because I recently took a Delta flight and my wife,

83
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: she's into the tech because I'm a luddite, and she

84
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: had the Wi Fi and all that. But you're telling

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: me the Delta, like the number one carry it is

86
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 2: now choosing Amazon over Starlink for the in flight Wi Fi.

87
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Why you know, it's a head scratcher. I think there now.

88
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Obviously not everyone as a fan of Elon Musk. I'm

89
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: not sure if that was underlying their decision here, but

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: there's also people that aren't a fan of Amazon either,

91
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: so you can't win. But here's the deal. Starlink, we

92
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: know is proven. You've got a bunch of airlines already

93
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: installing it. I've been on three flights with it. It

94
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: is absolutely incredible. It's almost like your home Wi Fi

95
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: connection on that plane. United's doing it, Alaska's doing it,

96
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Southwest is doing it. But Delta decided, you know what,

97
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: we're going with the unproven number two, which is Amazon's

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: Leo satellite system. They've only launched about two hundred of

99
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: these satellites. Starlink has ten thousand of them up in

100
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: the air. Amazon's not even up and running with this

101
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: yet in a big way. But this is what you're

102
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna find on Delta Airlines in twenty twenty eight. So

103
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a while, whereas Starlink is already here.

104
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of all this satellite stuff, if

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: you want a real interesting view of all the satellites

106
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: that are up in outer space right now, this website

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: just is amazing. It's called satellitemap dot space. It brings

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: up a picture of the world and you can see

109
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: every single satellite or at least all the reported ones

110
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: that are hovering above us, you know, hundreds of miles up.

111
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: It is quite incredible, and you can, by the way,

112
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: narrowed down by constellation. So if you just go to starlink,

113
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: you'll see how many they have versus LEO, which is

114
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, Amazon's. It is a fraction. You'll be surprised.

115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: Rich Demiro rich on Tech has heard Sunday nights from
