1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Time to say good morning to the host of Rich 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro. So, Rich, 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: you were just just recently telling us about this brand 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: new trifold phone from Samsung. Well that didn't last. 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like it's game over for this trifold phone. 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 2: This is the one that folded twice into a tablet. 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: It's only been on the market for just a few months. 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: Premiered in South Korea, first made its way to the US, 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: and I guess Samsung says it is stopping production according 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: to Bloomberg, and they will not restock it once the 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: current inventory is out. So what does that mean. Well, 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 2: this was an expensive phone, three thousand dollars, so I 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: don't think this was ever going to be a huge 14 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 2: win with consumers, but it just showed that Samsung could 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: do something like this. And we all know the foldable 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: iPhone is coming later this year, or at least that's 17 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: what the rumor is, and so we'll see if Apple 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: can finally put this foldable phone form into the market. 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: Okay, this is kind of cool. We've got kind of 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: everybody's got ring or some form of a doorbell camera, 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: they're teaming up with watch Duty for fires prevention. 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a pretty interesting system that they're doing. So basically, 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: Watch Duty is that app that everyone downloaded during the 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: fires a couple of years ago. People love it. It's 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 2: a crowd sourced way of you know, not only seeing 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: what's happening with the fires, but also putting your own 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: information in there. Well, now Ring is teaming up with 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: them to turn their cameras into kind of a real 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: time fire alert network. They're calling it fire Watch and 30 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: Californians just got it starting yesterday. So basically it's toggled 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: on by default in your settings, and if there is 32 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: a fire watch, you know, a Watch Duty alert kind 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: of sent out for your neighborhood, like if they say 34 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: there's a fire in your neighborhood. If your camera is enabled, 35 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: which is by default, it will sense for smoke and 36 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: flames and it will take pictures and have the option 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: of sending those to the app. So basically it kind 38 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: of becomes a crowd sourced fire map for your neighborhood, 39 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: which is pretty interesting. 40 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: Interesting to think about how that would have changed things 41 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: or how it would have affected you know, they eaten 42 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: fire because they were saying that a lot of people 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: didn't get their alerts until hours later. Yeah. 44 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing about all this, it's like, you know, 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: you don't want to like test this system, Yes, but 46 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: it is interesting and a lot of people are away 47 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: from their home during these fires, so if you're seeing, 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: you know, more information about the severity and where it's spreading. 49 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: I think it could be very useful. By the way 50 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: they say, and they're testing, they've already used it on 51 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: more than one hundred fires, so we'll see. 52 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about super super super turbo fast network. 53 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is something that AT and T 54 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: is doing. I don't know if you've ever been to 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: an event, but basically your cell phone stops working. It's 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: like you can't upload, you can't download. It happens. I 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: think it happens less now than it used to, and 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: that's just. 59 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Because of the traffic, Like everybody is all on their 60 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: phones at the same time. 61 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, there's so many people, and people are like 62 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: live streaming and you know, they want to post their 63 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: pictures on Instagram and all that stuff. Yeah, so AT 64 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: and T has this new thing called Turbo Live, which 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: they have now at the into It Dome, which I 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 2: tested this week. Basically, it's like a super fast network, 67 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: but it's like VIP connectivity. So imagine that you sign 68 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: up for this thing, which you have to like toggle 69 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: it on as an AT and T customer, but Verizon 70 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: and T Mobile customers can also opt in for like 71 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: seven dollars for the game. But basically once you toggle 72 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: it on, they say, Okay, any traffic, anything happening on 73 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: Rich's phone, We're going to prioritize over everyone else. So 74 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: it's like a separate line for your data, you know, 75 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: like a separate you know, auto bond for your data. 76 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: So kind of an interesting idea. I tested it out, 77 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: and I will tell you that AT and t's service 78 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: inside the into a Dome, I don't know what they 79 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: did to upgrade it, but it is the facts like 80 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: I've ever experienced on a smartphone. So the Turbolive definitely 81 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: lives up to the name. But whether people will actually 82 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: pay for this, you know, especially coming from T Mobile Verizon, 83 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: that's a whole nother question. And if I was an 84 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: AT and T customer, you know the fact that they're 85 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: trying to sell me on upsell me on more service. 86 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: I would be like, hold on, why isn't this included 87 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: in my plan? Which some plans may have it included, 88 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: maybe not the lower ones, you know what I mean. 89 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So it's called Turbo Live. If next time you 90 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: go to the end to it, don't maybe want to 91 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: check it out, maybe not up to you. 92 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: And so is getting it too, and not just these stadiums, 93 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 2: but like all across the nation they're doing this. 94 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: Okay, And then before we go, oh, shoot, we're running 95 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: out of time, which one should we talk about? 96 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: Okay? 97 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Amazon because we talked about 98 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: this last week about how when you order something you're 99 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: not sure that it's a reputable company, even if it's 100 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: on Amazon. But looks like Amazon's addressing this. 101 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: Well, there's two extents. Well, first off, Amazon is having 102 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: a big spring sale March twenty fifth through the thirty first, 103 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: So if you have your eye on stuff, go ahead. 104 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: But here's the thing. This is not necessarily just for 105 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: Prime members. Isn't that weird? Like they're doing this now 106 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: for everyone? So anyway, but there's two extensions that I 107 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: really enjoy on Amazon. One is called Amazon on Sponsor, 108 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: which removes all the sponsored products at the beginning of 109 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: the results search results. The other one is one that 110 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: basically removes the third party seller results. And so once 111 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: you have these two toggled on which I do, it's 112 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: like shopping. It's so much better shop on Amazon, so 113 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: much easier because there's like less clutter less third party stuff. 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: So I will link those up on my website rich 115 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: on tech dot tv. Tap the start up at the top, 116 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: I'll put them right there. 117 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: Okay, that sounds great, And then we got to talk 118 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: about the brick next time, because we're out of time. 119 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: I hate that. 120 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we're bricked. 121 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: We're bricked.
