1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Let's say good morning too the host of Rich on 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro. Okay, Rich, 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: we talked about this a couple of weeks and you said, 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to figure this one out and let you know. 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: So apparently there is a reset somehow for Facebook and 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: ig to stop the freaking algorithm from beating you know, 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: the same information over and over again. 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 2: Yes, and if you've been on these apps for a while, 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: you probably see the same stuff over and over and 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: over and the same people over and over and over. 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: So you can do a fresh start. And this is 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: all relatively new, by the way, like Instagram recently added 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: this feature. So just remember how do they learn what 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: they show you? How much you watch something, if you 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: stop on a video, what you like, what you comment on, 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: even if you pause on a post, that is going 17 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: to feed the algorithm. So just remember this is how 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: they get the information, and then they show you this 19 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 2: stuff over and over. So for Instagram, there is an 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: actual official reset option in which I've done. You go 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: to profile, you go to your menu, you go to 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: content preferences and it says reset suggested content that will 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: wipe everything clean. So like on that Explore page, I 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: looked up one way to like make a salmon bowl, 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: and next thing, you know, that's all I had for 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: like ever, so I finally got rid of that. Yeah, 27 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: if you don't want a full reset, you can do this, 28 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: and I do this while I'm scrolling through my feed. 29 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: You can just tap not interested. And so if you 30 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: go to the upper right hand corner of anything that 31 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: you're looking at on Instagram, there's like a three dots 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 2: and you tap it and you can say not interested 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: or hide. I guess they change it too, and then 34 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: once you say hide, it'll tell you, you know, do 35 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: you want to unfollow this person? Not interested? All that 36 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 2: good stuff? 37 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: So you can do that, Okay, Sometimes that window that 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: pops up too, just when you're scrolling, sometimes the little 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: bar pops up and says are you interested or whatever? 40 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's really they're trying to get you to, 41 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: you know, they're trying to get more information out of you, 42 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: like more solid information. But basically, anytime you see those 43 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: three little dots, you can, you know, get rid of that, 44 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: and it will you know, you can kind of train 45 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: your algorithm a little bit better. There. The other thing 46 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: to do on TikTok. If you're on TikTok you've been 47 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: on in a while, they have a way to completely 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 2: refresh your your for you feed. So you go to 49 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: your profile settings in Privacy Content Preferences and then it 50 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: says refresh your for you feed. And that's basically you know, 51 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: the feed of everything. And if you haven't checked out 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: your local feed on TikTok, definitely check it out. That's 53 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: my new favorite. And of course you can clear your 54 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: watch history and your search history. I do that on 55 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: YouTube all the time because my kid loves to use 56 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: my YouTube account, so I get all of his roadblocks 57 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 2: gaming stuff. 58 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: I love it. 59 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: And Amy, what about Facebook? Say what about Facebook? Rich? 60 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: Facebook doesn't They don't have a complete reset, but you 61 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: can do the simple tap the three dots on posts 62 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: and say not interested, or you can unfollow accounts. You 63 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: can also, by the way, the opposite, if you really 64 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: like an account, you can favorite it. So if you're 65 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: like for me, I told people on my radio show, like, hey, 66 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: you know, not everyone sees everything I post, but if 67 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: you want to see it, you tap favorite under my 68 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: you know, when you see one of my posts or 69 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: my profile and it will show you that stuff more often, okay. 70 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: And then for people who weren't able to write down 71 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: the instructions or follow along, is zek, can you put 72 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: that up on your website. 73 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: Already did it? You can go to rich on tech 74 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: dot tv, tap the star up at the top, it'll 75 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: be right there. Or you can go to Instagram my 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: Instagram Stories. It is there. I tagged you, Amy.

I love that. 79 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: I love that. 80 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're looking for a new gadget, you're 81 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: saying that it's basically Christmas Day. 82 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: Today's the day.

But you know, 98 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: most people are upgrading their phones every couple of years, 99 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: so it'll be a big upgrade if it's been a 100 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: few years for you. 101 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to go back to the MacBook real quick, 102 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: the new low cost So it's five ninety nine, and 103 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: you said it's a great basic computer, so it's good 104 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: for you if you fill in the bil good for. 105 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: Everyone unless you need to do like work, like if 106 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: you're relying on this thing to like, you know, edit 107 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: tons of content, edit music videos, all that kind of stuff. 108 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: But if you just say I just need a laptop, 109 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: this is like the new best laptop for everyone.

But 115 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: if you just need like web surfing, email, watching videos, 116 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: lightly editing pictures, looking at pictures, lightly editing video, this 117 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: will do it all. 118 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Like this would be a great one for your. 119 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: Mom anyone, Yes, your mom, the student in your life, Yeah, 120 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 2: anyone who doesn't. If you don't have a specific use, 121 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like if you're not like, 122 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 2: oh I'm editing eight K video, Okay, well then this 123 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: is not for you. But if you're just like I 124 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: just need a laptop, this is for you. 125 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: Okay, I love that. Okay, real quick, we've got real 126 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: versus fake products that you buy. I saw you on 127 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: KTLA talking about this yesterday. So you're saying that even 128 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: when you go and you order something on Amazon, you 129 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: might be getting counterfeit products. 130 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: But you yeah, or any website, like any any third 131 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: party website that has third party sellers, because anyone can 132 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: put up their products like Walmart, they can do it, 133 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: eBay of course Amazon. So my big hint here is 134 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: on Amazon, check the seller. So when you are most 135 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: people don't look at this, but I always do. Underneath 136 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: the price, it says sold by and it will tell 137 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: you it's either sold by Amazon or it's sold by 138 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: some random third party company. And so you want Amazon 139 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: dot com as your seller, that's gonna be the number 140 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: one best way. Or if they don't. If it doesn't 141 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: say Amazon, it should say the name of the product, 142 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: so like if you're buying from a fancy brand like Keels, 143 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: it should say sold by Keels, and that way you 144 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: know that it's actually legitimate. And I've got two extensions 145 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: on my rich on Tech dot TV. Tap that star 146 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: again and I've got two helpful Amazon extensions that filter 147 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: out all the third party stuff and all the sponsored stuff. Ooh, 148 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 2: I like that. 149 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: Okay, great, great advice.
