1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 1: on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: So Rich, let's talk about Sonos, which, if I recall

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: correctlys had some issues, but maybe they've figured them out.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: They did, and I'm happy to report as of my

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: latest testing, Sonos is back and the company says they're

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: actually better than they were, and I can confirm that

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: they are at least where they were, and in some

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: cases yes better. But they have two new speakers available

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: this week. I've been playing with them. One probably the newest, latest, greatest,

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: that's the most interesting is the Sonos Play. And what's

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: unique about this is that it is a speaker that

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: lives in a room, but it also sits on a

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: charging base, so it works with your Sonos system on

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: Wi Fi at home, but when you leave the house,

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: it works as a Bluetooth speaker. And not only that,

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: but you can group several of these together even outside

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: of the house using Bluetooth. So it's got a twenty

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: four hour power bank. Think it's water and dust resistant.

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: It sounds great, and it is it's expensive, just like

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: all son No speakers, but these things last forever. I've

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: had many of mine for a decade or even longer.

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: At this point two hundred ninety nine dollars.

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: They've got lots and lots of products. So, but the

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: ones that you're talking about are the ones that look

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: like an Alexa kind of.

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 2: These don't necessarily look like an Alexa. They don't really

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: have anything that looks like that. No, this is they're

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: They're mostly just they have like sound bars, they have

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: small speakers, they have big speakers. Now they have a

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: speaker for every room. And the magic of Sonos. If

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: you're not familiar with it, it is my absolute favorite.

33
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: By the way, it wasn't for two years. If you

34
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 2: listen to my radio show, you know I was knocking

35
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: them for the past two years. But they're back multi

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: room audio, so you can play the same thing perfectly

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: in sync every single room of your house, or you

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: can play a different thing. And they work with over

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: one hundred streaming services. So whatever you want to listen to,

40
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: whether that's iHeart or something else, it definitely works with it.

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: It's incredible. I was listening to iheartlast night on my speakers.

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: Found a new station that I really liked. By the way,

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: not Talk but well, of course I love KFI. I

44
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: got to find I think it was called The Breeze,

45
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: and it was like, just like my wife whenever she says, ooh,

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: what's this station, I'm always like, yeah, I won.

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So Sonis is back on the nice list for

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: rich Murou. Good to know. Yes, so you've got a

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Gmail user name. I've thought about this before, like, if

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: you have an account, it's yours for life until you

51
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: close it. But now you can change it.

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: Yes, And this is a big issue for people who

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: might have chosen a name. I mean, now we've been

54
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: using our email address for what twenty years? Actually, I

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: should say Google launched Gmail on April first, Fool's Day.

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: I think it was two thousand. Oh my gosh, what

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: year was it. It was a while ago, but anyways,

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: probably been at least April first, two thousand and four,

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: so it's been a while. Anyway, you chose your username

60
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: back then, as I did, you know, maybe you want

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: to change it at this point. Now, every single person

62
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: that has a Gmail account can change their email address

63
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: and the old one will still work and sold the

64
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: new one. So you can go into your account settings

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: and it'll say pick a new username, and you can

66
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: do this now once a year, so you know, if

67
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: you do it every year, it's a little confusing. But

68
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: the point is if you had something silly before and

69
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: you want to change it now you can.

70
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, that's kind of cool. I heard you talking

71
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: with Bill Handle about this because he's he's getting a

72
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: smart watch, and you've got a Samsung watch that's got

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: a new feature to it.

74
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: I love that these everyday trackers are getting so smart

75
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: and so ahead of our health. I mean, these are

76
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: things that used to take a yearly visit to the

77
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: doctor to do, and now you can do them on

78
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: your risk, every single day. And one of the things,

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: there's two holy grails, I mean, blood pressure is a

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: big one obviously, glucose monitoring. We're not there just yet

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: with the wearables, you know, like the smart watches, but

82
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: I have no doubt we will get there. But today

83
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: we have blood Usu're monitoring on the Samsung Galaxy watches.

84
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: So the watch for and up let you see your

85
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: readings for systolic and diastolic right on your wrist. This

86
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: is the thing that you know you go into the

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: doctor that like they pump up that little cuff thing

88
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: on you. Now you can see it right on your wrist.

89
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. You still have to calibrate it

90
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: every month with a standard traditional cuff and then the

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: AI and the watch does the rest so it knows

92
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: your baseline and then it goes Okay, now we know that.

93
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: Now we can figure out these readings every single day

94
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: without the cuff, but you do have to, you know,

95
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: make sure you calibrate it every month, which I still

96
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: think is a huge deal.

97
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: Well for somebody who's very concerned about that. Yeah, and

98
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: you want to keep a kind of keep tab on

99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: tabs on it, you can do it with very little effort.

100
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: I like that.

101
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: I think it's great.

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: Uh, Delta chows Amazon over starlink.

103
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: Tell us about that. I thought this was interesting. So,

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: you know, Starlink has been kind of the bell of

105
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: the ball, so to say, when it comes to in

106
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: flight Wi Fi. A lot of the airlines are putting Starlink,

107
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: which is super fast satellite internet, on their flights. But

108
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: Delta is saying, you know what, We're gonna try something different.

109
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: We're gonna try Amazon's new satellite Internet, which is still

110
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: yet unproven. Because I don't think anyone's actually used it yet,

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: but it's called Leo, and they say in twenty twenty

112
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: eight they're gonna roll this out on five hundred planes.

113
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: It's going to be faster than current Wi Fi three

114
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: to five times, which doesn't sound that fast, but anyway,

115
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: we'll see until I test it. But basically, yeah, Delta

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: is choosing Amazon's Leo versus Starlink, which by the way,

117
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: is already proven and they have, you know, thousands of

118
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: satellites in the sky, and it is super fast. And

119
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: I have had it on two flights and by the way,

120
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: actually three flights now and they were the best three

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: flights of my life. I will tell you that.

122
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have questions for you about this. So

123
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: one is we know that Starlink has been launching satellites

124
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: into orbit all the time. They're going up on those

125
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: SpaceX rockets. Does Amazon have a bunch to satellites too,

126
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: or are they going to have to put satellites up.

127
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 2: They're putting them up so so far they have about

128
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: two hundred compared to like ten thousand for Starlink. So

129
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: they're doing them, but they're doing them. You know, they're

130
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: doing them fast. They've got two hundred more ready to go.

131
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: But these things are expensive and they take time, and

132
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: you know, Starlink has had a major head start here.

133
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: So but yes, again, we haven't really seen the launch

134
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: of this LEO just yet, like that's what it's called.

135
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: Used to be Project Kuyper, but we haven't like tried

136
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: it yet. So they're launching them, but we haven't really

137
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: seen it in action yet.

138
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: Okay, I just think of all of that junk that's

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: up in orbit now and that's going to start crashing

140
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: into each other or something.

141
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm paranoise, Yes, okay, you have to look at

142
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: this website. Look at this website. Satellite Map dot Space. Omg,

143
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: that's all I have to say. There is a it

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: shows you every satellite above us and it is crazy.

145
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: It really is like absolutely insane, and.

146
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: It's satellite map.

147
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: Map dot Space, and it's like, okay, I would just

148
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: imagine that in the future you're gonna have to like

149
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: blast off through these, you know, like kind of like

150
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: avoiding them like a video game.

151
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Okay, you're right. OMG, I'm looking at it. Holy crap,

152
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: those are all satellites. Okayah, that's scary. And then real

153
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: quick it's very important. Sometimes you want calls to get through,

154
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: and you might have your do not Disturb on so

155
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: you might miss it or something like that. But there's

156
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: a new, a new way to make sure that you

157
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: get those important phone calls.

158
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Yes, not necessarily new, but it's like it might be

159
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: new to you. So both Samsung and iPhone have a

160
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: way to let certain contacts break through silence. So even

161
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: if your phone is on silent, you set this up

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: and your wife, your spouse, whatever, your kids, school can

163
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: still call and ring your phone. It will not go

164
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: to voicemail. It will actually will not vibrate, it will ring,

165
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: and so on the iPhone you can do it. You

166
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: can do on Samsung. I've got the instructions on my

167
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Instagram because it's not complicated, but you know, you want
