1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for tuning in. Appreciate you listening. This week.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: A couple things. Well, first off, I celebrated my birthday,

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: which was a big one. Well it wasn't a big one.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a milestone birthday, so don't don't, yeah,

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: but it was. It was just fun. My mom was

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: in town, you know, my family was there. It was great.

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: And you know, it was during the work week, so

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: it was like I still went to work and everything.

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: But I did post on social media and the many, many,

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: many of you did comment, and I do appreciate that.

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: You made me feel very very special because I wasn't

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: even gonna post about it, and I was like, ah,

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, why not I give you some attention. Just kidding.

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: But this week I also so right after my birthday,

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: I went to I blined it to Las Vegas. I

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: was very excited for this, the premiere of The Wizard

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: of Oz at the Sphere. Now, if you haven't been

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: to the Sphere yet, it is quite incredible. It's this

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: giant ball that just sits in the middle of Las Vegas.

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: It's always showing something cool on it'so exosphere, the lights,

21
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the programmable screen on the outside it's always showing some

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: kind of funny little face or whatever they want. And

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: so I did that, went there, and you know, I

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: was wondering. I was like, Okay, I want to see this,

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: but I'm not exactly sure how it's technology. But as

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: soon as I started interviewing some of the principles that

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: created this film, like the director and some of the

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: other folks behind it, I was like, Okay, this is

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: all technology. Interesting. So the big question is how do

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: you take an eighty six year old film and then

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: sort of remake it for a giant screen and with

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: new technology. And so they used AI a lot. I

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: would pretty much say this is the first AI film.

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: That's really what it is. They took an old movie

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: and they recreated the entire thing with AI. That's the

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: way I see it. I'll explain. But the original movie,

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, premiered back in nineteen thirty nine. Now, what's

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: the TCL Chinese theater? It used to be the I

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: think it was a man's Chinese theater back in the day,

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: and that was twenty four foot screen. Okay, Now the

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: sphere if you haven't been inside, this is a sixteen

42
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: K resolution one hundred and sixty thousand square foot screen huge.

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's almost wrap around, that's really what

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: it is. It's very immersive. The seats move, so they've

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: got these rumble seats in there, they've got fans for wind,

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: they've got a scent system, they've got just all kinds

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: of tricks in there, all the latest technology, and the

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: sound system is like nothing you've ever experienced. They can

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: direct sounds right to your seat, so it is really

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: quite impressive. Now, the experience starts right when you get in.

51
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: They call it the atrium. This is kind of like

52
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: when you go to an event at the Sphere. They've

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: got like an hour of time before you actually go

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: into the event, right, you just kind of stand around

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: and explore what's in the what they call the atrium,

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: and they sort of dress it up for the show.

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: So for this, it's all sepiotoned when you get in.

58
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: So I imagine the beginning of the movie where it's

59
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: back in time and it's just you know, she's in Kansas,

60
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: and so the whole kind of atrium looks like that,

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: and then when you leave, it transforms fully into all

62
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: green an emerald city, and there's like an interactive wizard

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: that you can interact with, kind of like so if

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: you've been to a sphere thing before, or if you haven't,

65
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: they used to have these really high tech robots in

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: there that you can interact with. The wizard is sort

67
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: of replacing them. But you know, they can do multiple

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: things at this place at once. It's not just like

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: one thing at a time anyway. See, you get inside

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: and it's very exciting. I was there for the opening

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: premiere and so it was kind of cool. I mean

72
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: to me, one of the best best things was all

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: the food was free, so I was like grabbing, Like

74
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I grab so much stuff. I grab like popcorn and

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: like candy and drinks whatever I could. So that was

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: kind of fun. When do you ever get that right

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: at a movie? But when you get inside the screen,

78
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: it's like you get inside and it looks like Radio

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: City Music Hall, which is also the same company that

80
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: owns this, and so it tricks you because the movie

81
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: starts in the middle of that little screen and then

82
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it widens out to take up

83
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: the whole dome and people. That is the first awe moment, like,

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is going to be different, and

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: the whole audience is like audibly wowed right there, and

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: so now you know you're in for something special. And

87
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: that was really cool. Then comes the tornado scene. Now

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: this is this is just incredible what they've done. So

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: they are using every single thing available to them in

90
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: that sphere. I'm talking wind leaves, like there's actual leaves

91
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: that kind of move around in there. The seats are rumbling,

92
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: people were covering their faces, they were hooting, they were hollering.

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: It was so cool, Like I'm just sitting there smiling, Like,

94
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: as an adult, how many times you have a smile

95
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: on your face? Not very often, right, I'm just kidding,

96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, but yes, you know, like something that brings

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: a true childish smile to your face. Every single person

98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: in there was just literally and figuratively blown away. And

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: by the way, they I haven't seen the original movie

100
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: in a long time, but that tornado scene lasted so long.

101
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: I think they just made it longer just to have

102
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: fun with like all the effects and that it was

103
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: so crazy. I want to post the video to my Instagram,

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: but they told us not to, you know, record video

105
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: during the movie, but I did, just because you know,

106
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: I like to break the rules every once in a while.

107
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: But I want to share it, but I don't because

108
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: I want to ruin it for you. It is it

109
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: is worth the price of admission right there. Anyway, once

110
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: you get into the movie, it's clear that AI is everywhere,

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: so they used it to do things like you know,

112
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: if you think about how small this was when it

113
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: first came out, they had to expand it to fit

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: this screen, so they used AI to sort of rebuild

115
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: the edges, the backgrounds, the extras, the crowds of people.

116
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: So it was it's very apparent to me the AI

117
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: use in this movie. And by the way, they worked

118
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: with Google Cloud to do this, and it was very

119
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: apparent to me. And yes, it's sometimes I'm like, okay,

120
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: that's AI, that's AI. That's AI. But you can't let

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: that ruin your impression of this, like you still have

122
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: to just like any other movie. You gotta have a

123
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: little suspension of disbelief. They used AI to make, you know,

124
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: to make the resolution look better, so you know, you

125
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: can spot it if you're looking for it, but if

126
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: you just kind of enjoy, you'll enjoy it. Now there's

127
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: also physical effects, so they've got apples falling from the sky,

128
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: there was snow in there. At one point, there's fire,

129
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: real fire, flying monkeys. I mean, I'm not kidding. They

130
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: went all out on this thing, and it was like,

131
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: I think at one point they're just like, you know what,

132
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: We're just gonna do the craziest, wildest stuff we can

133
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: imagine inside of a movie experience, and they did. Now,

134
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: this was about eighty minutes, so I think that's that's

135
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: shorter than the standard movie. But I'm not kidding. It

136
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: flew by so fast. There were some jump scares. I mean, look,

137
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: if you're a purist about the Wizard of Oz, you

138
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: might not like this version of it. But if you're

139
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: just someone that's like, okay, I want to see how

140
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: technology can change the way we tell stories, this is

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: like the best example I've ever experienced. People are asking me,

142
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: is it for kids? I think so. It's it's intense.

143
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: There's intense moments, so you have to understand, like what

144
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: the you know, what your kids can deal with, But

145
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: it's nothing like super scary. Also, the best place to

146
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: sit We sat in the two hundred section, which is

147
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: right front and center, so that I thought was pretty cool.

148
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Tickets are not cheap. I mean, tickets start about over

149
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars and they go up from there by

150
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: the way, and then you've got the popcorn and the drinks,

151
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: and it's not a cheap experience. But here's the deal.

152
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Number one, you're in Vegas, you're gonna be spending money. Anyway.

153
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: I proceeded to gamble one hundred dollars in like less

154
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: than an hour. Guess what I have to tell you

155
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: about that? Zero nothing. I have no memories of it.

156
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: It was a waste of money. The experience I had

157
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: at the Wizard of Oz was incredible, and I'll be

158
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: telling my grandkids about it. Well, I mean, maybe we'll see.

159
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: I'll just tell them to listen to this. Anyway. I

160
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty cool. Definitely worth it if you

161
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: are in Las Vegas or you're planning a trip. And

162
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: how wild is it in this day and age twenty

163
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: twenty five that now Apple, Amazon, and Google are making movies.

164
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I get that Netflix is it's a studio house,

165
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: but these three companies, the three tech companies in our world,

166
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: are now making movies. Just let that Just think about

167
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: that for a moment. Did you ever think that would happen.

168
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, this was also brilliant because guess what,

169
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: half the people that walk out of this sphere when

170
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 1: they see this version are gonna go home and rent

171
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: the original. So now the IP folks make money again. Anyway,

172
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: you can read my whole review on the website rich

173
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. Coming up, I'm gonna tell you

174
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: about the free app that can help you clear up

175
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: the storage on your iPhone. You have to download this.

176
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: This is rich on tech. The website for the show

177
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: is rich on tech dot tv. There you can go

178
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: for all the show notes. Often get a lot of

179
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: emails throughout the week people say, Rich, how do I

180
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: find this? How do I find that? It's all on

181
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: the website. I take really good notes And if you

182
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: scroll down to the section where it says radio show,

183
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: you will see all the notes for not just today's show,

184
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: but all of the shows out there. Let's go to

185
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: John and Moore Park. John, you're on with Rich Yes

186
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: I am.

187
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: How are you today?

188
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. What can I help you with?

189
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 2: I appreciate you and your RINGO program. I have been

190
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: been listening to you since day one.

191
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'd love to hear that. Thank you so much.

192
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Anything changed throughout the years that we've been doing this,

193
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: It's been almost three now.

194
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: Well it's just I'm going updates to the tech world.

195
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: Really really appreciate that.

196
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: All right, what can I help you with?

197
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: I'm actually coming on behalf of our friend who's sevens

198
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 2: is a terrible time with cell phones. Okay, she has

199
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: been through five cell phones in the past year or so,

200
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: four androids in an iPhone, and somehow, some way someone

201
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: seems to be able to to find her phone and

202
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: tap into it and even control her phone.

203
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's not good.

204
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm calling you for. Any brought or suggestions.

205
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: Okay.

206
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: He even tried to I phone and it was having

207
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: the same problem and got into us. Would the Apple

208
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: who did not believe her?

209
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah I could. I could see that. Well, let

210
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: me let me let me go through some of the

211
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: steps I think that could help. Number one. It sounds

212
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: to me, number one, it's not I get these emails

213
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: all the time people tell me their phone is hacked,

214
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: and I don't really understand what they mean by that,

215
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: because there is not a simple way for someone to

216
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: claim control over your phone. There just is not. These

217
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: are two platforms that are very secure, iOS and Android

218
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: and now an Android. There are ways that could make

219
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: that process easier if you gave someone access to your phone.

220
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: But there's really not a way that someone can remotely

221
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: control your smartphone, Like there's not just like some website

222
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: they can log into and say, okay, let me target

223
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: this woman's phone, let me get in there and let

224
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: me do all that stuff. So it's tough to say

225
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: that someone has taken over control of your phone. Now,

226
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: there are apps that you can install on your phone

227
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: that may do something similar to that, like a team

228
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: viewer or something like that. But you know remote access apps,

229
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: but you know you would have to really install those

230
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: and give someone access and hand over the credentials. And

231
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: also you would see what's happening on your screen if

232
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: that was the case. So it's very unlikely that the

233
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: phone is being taken over by someone. Now, with that said,

234
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: there are ways that someone can get access to different

235
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: parts of the device, And what this really comes down

236
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: to is your social media, your email, your iPhone, iCloud,

237
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and also Android. So if they had access to their login,

238
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: which is either their Apple ID or their Android Google ID,

239
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: they might be able to do something there, but again

240
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: highly unlikely because there's so many safeguards in place by

241
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Apple and Google to not let this stuff happen. And

242
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: the only times we've ever seen a true example of

243
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: a phone being hacked is in a couple of ways.

244
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: Number One, you're sort of a head of state or

245
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: someone that's very prominent, and you click on a link

246
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: and you get some sort of spyware or malware downloaded

247
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: to your phone, and next thing you know, that is

248
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, And the only times you've ever seen that

249
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: is really, like I said, heads of state or journalists,

250
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: it's not just regular people that that's happening too. Now,

251
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: the more common way is if you sideload an app,

252
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: and this is why Apple is fought sideloading for years,

253
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: so it doesn't even happen on the iPhone at least

254
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: in the US. And then with Android, yes you can sideload,

255
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: but there's so many precautions in place. When you get

256
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: a new phone, it doesn't just let you sideload anymore.

257
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: You have to say yes like three different times to

258
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: be able to download something that's not from the Google

259
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: Play Store and install it on your phone. So again

260
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: not very plausible that someone could just take over access

261
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: on your phone. So when it comes to the hacking,

262
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to your friend, what I would recommend

263
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: is start with the big accounts, your Apple account and

264
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: your Google account and your social media. Go through. Change

265
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: those passwords. That's number one. Change the passwords is something strong,

266
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: Use something that's at least fourteen characters. Use a password

267
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: generator to make those and save those. Then you got

268
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: to go in and turn on two factor authentication. It's

269
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: not bulletproof, but it is the best protection you have

270
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: against someone gaining access to your account. And the third

271
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: thing I would do is find the in the settings.

272
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: There's typically in your account settings under security, there's typically

273
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: a setting that says log me out everywhere else. And

274
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: so I just had to do this with my Instagram

275
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: because it thought someone was hacking me, but I was

276
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: just logging in from a new phone, and so it

277
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: logged me out everywhere. Every one of my phones Stagram

278
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: installed on. It logged me out. And you can go

279
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: in and said we we have logged you out of

280
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: all your other devices. You can do that on Facebook,

281
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: on Instagram, on Gmail. You can just go through and

282
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: just log yourself out of all these other places that

283
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: you might be logged in, and if someone happened to

284
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: have access, they would be logged out as well. So

285
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: those are the things I would do. And if you

286
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: need a good two factor authentication app, which I always

287
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: recommend an app over a phone number is a Proton

288
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: Authenticator is excellent, excellent, excellent, and that is available for

289
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: iPhone and Android. But again, change all those passwords, set

290
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: up the two factor authentication. That should be your best

291
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: defense against quote unquote someone hacking or taking over your phone.

292
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: Eighty to eight rich one O one eight eight eight

293

300
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: would recommend the a Belcan power bank. It's called the

00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: And a belcan you know they do a good job.

309
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: They really do. I also like Anchor, probably find them

310
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: for cheaper and I do carry around an Anchor. They've

311
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: had some issues lately with some of the recalls, but

312
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: they're still good brands. So those are the two that

313
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: I would recommend taking a look at. Thanks for the email.

314
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: All right on with us now is Philip Jones, technical

315
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: editor and lead reviewer at Projector Reviews projector reviews dot com.

316
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about projectors. Philip, Welcome to the show.

317
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: Hey, how are you rich?

318
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: I am doing fantastic, Thanks so much for joining me.

319
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: So what is the current trend in the projector industry.

320
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 4: Well, A lot of times when you look at projectors,

321
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 4: you're thinking about the old traditional home cinema, but the

322
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: trend seems to be utilizing projectors as TV replacements or

323
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: in applications where you would not want to utilize a

324
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: flat panel TV like maybe a campsite or backyard theater.

325
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: So those seems to be the bigger trends right now.

326
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: That was the first time that I I mean as

327
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: a kid, I remember the giant like they used to

328
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: have like projector TVs too, right where it was like

329
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: the three lights at the bottom, like those giant lights.

330
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean that was I don't We didn't have one

331
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: of those, but I know a friend did. It was

332
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: like yeah, it was like I just that like just

333
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: came back to me. I kind of forgot about those.

334
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: But the first time I use the projector was during

335
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: the pandemic when we were starting to watch backyard movies

336
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: and so the whole name of the game was getting

337
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: like you know, the brightness and all this stuff. But

338
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when a lot of people that

339
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: were not projector people got into that world. Is that true?

340
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: You think?

341
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 3: I think so.

342
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: And while flat panels are getting larger, there's still some

343
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 4: applications where even those gigantic flat panels are not going

344
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: to work. Yes, you can go out and buy a

345
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: one hundred inch flat panel now. I saw them at

346
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: Costco for under like three or four thousand bucks, But

347
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 4: I'd like to see you carry one of those up

348
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 4: up eight flight of stairs in a New York walk

349
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 4: up apartment or so A lot of times, even though

350
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 4: you can get a massive flat panel, a projector with

351
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 4: a small screen, or a projector on a wall maybe

352
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: a better application for you.

353
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: So I was going to ask about that, are people

354
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: using projectors to replace their TV? And what do you

355
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: think the consideration is for that? Like, what are you

356
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: going to miss if you do that?

357
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 4: Well, normally, there's a lot of people that are starting

358
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: to use projectors as a replacement for their TVs. There's

359
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: actually two types of categories of projectors that are designed

360
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: to do that.

361
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: The first is they call them kind of a laser TV.

362
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 4: These are ultra short throw projectors that sit maybe less

363
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: than a foot from your wall, but can project like

364
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty inch image and you can use

365
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 4: it on a white wall or you could use it

366
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 4: on a screen.

367
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: The other one is called a lifestyle projector.

368
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: It looks almost like a tube, but it has a

369
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 4: projector and a sound system in it, and it also

370
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 4: has all the smart features which makes that really easy

371
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: to move from place to place, like maybe in an apartment.

372
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 4: The big thing that had to happen was more brightness,

373
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 4: and you're starting to see that in projectors to help

374
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: overcome ambient light, along with specialized screens that actually reject

375
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 4: light from any direction.

376
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: But when a projector is shining light.

377
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: At it, that's interesting. So you kind of have to

378
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: decide you want the short throw. Those are more expensive

379
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: than a standard projector, is that right?

380
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 3: I mean, for brightness, it is possible.

381
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: Normally you have those premium home theater projectors and those

382
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: are what you're paying for is more of the black

383
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 4: level than anything else. But when you can here the

384
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: lens assembly on an ultra short throw to a standard

385
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 4: throw projector, the ultra short throw lens is more complex,

386
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: so it normally does carry a little bit more command,

387
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a price premium, but not

388
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 4: that much.

389
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: These days.

390
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 4: You can get a great one starting at about twenty

391
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars, and you can get and maybe one

392
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: of the top of the alliance is maybe seven or

393
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 4: eight thousand dollars.

394
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: So you how long you been covering this stuff?

395
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 4: Well, I used to be the product technology manager for

396
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 4: Sony Electronics for over a decade, so I've been messing

397
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 4: around projectors for probably fifteen years. I have been the

398
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: one of the principal members of Projector Reviews for about

399
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: six years now.

400
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so what have you I mean like, if someone

401
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: is just thinking, oh, projectors, and they kind of have

402
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: this old kind of thought in their head about what

403
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: projectors are, how do you think the tech has changed

404
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: or improved over the years.

405
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: Okay, So the first thing the brightness.

406
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 4: That there has been a massive improvement in the efficiency

407
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 4: of the light sources that are built into these projectors,

408
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: so they're much much, much, much much brighter in a

409
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: smaller package. And that tends to be the biggest problem

410
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 4: because a lot of times you want to watch video

411
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: or football games or something and the room is not

412
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 4: pitch black. Having more brightness allows you to overcome that

413
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: and maybe have someone sitting right next to you reading

414
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 4: a book and you still get a vibrant a vibrant image.

415
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: Then you add things like smart features, so they want

416
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: because they wanted to replace TVs. You're starting to see

417
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: Google TV or Android TV operating systems, and you're also

418
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 4: start to see much better sound systems than what you

419
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: can put into a flat panel, because a flat a

420
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: thin panel makes thin sound, so these projectors have more

421
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: room for speakers, so they actually sound better.

422
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: So what is the best type of content? You mentioned sports?

423
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously sports and movies come to mind. Is

424
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: that you know, do those work on a projector?

425
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 6: Oh?

426
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

427
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: I mean, of course, most people when they think of projectors,

428
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 4: they think of movies, you know, turning off the lights

429
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: and watching the latest blockbuster. But if you but watching

430
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: a football game, I'm going to when I get done

431
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 4: with this, I'm gonna go watch and is watching I

432
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: think the text is Ohio game and watching that game

433
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 4: on a one hundred and thirty inch screen is dramatic.

434
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: My house is super Bowl Central.

435
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how people email me every Super

436
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: Bowl saying are you having a party?

437
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: Can I come over? The other?

438
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look at your job, I mean come on,

439
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: It's like that's what I want to watch.

440
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing that's really growing in popularity is gaming.

441
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 4: The input lag on these units are getting really really small,

442
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 4: really really fast, rivaling rivalry that will rival a consumer

443
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: flat panel TV and playing Halo or Grand Turismo on

444
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: a one hundred and twenty, one hundred and fifty or

445
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 4: two hundred inch screen is a little bit better of

446
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 4: a perspective than playing in on a fifty five inch TV.

447
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: My pretty sure, Bobo just put his arm up. He's like,

448
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: yes please, I'll well Halo is that the is that the?

449
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

450
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: He wants to play Halo? So what about these small

451
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: projectors like I did a story with ex Jimmy. There's

452
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: also one like the Nebula capsule, Like these are like

453
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: really small portable projectors that you can bring like you know,

454
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: hotel room if you want it. What about those coming

455
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: on the scene, Like what should people look for in those?

456
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: Well, the there's a couple of things the Some of

457
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 4: them are battery operated, but I will tell you the

458
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: battery is nice for super convenience, but battery is going

459
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: to limit the brightness of the unit. So and it

460
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: also takes a real estate that could be that could

461
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: be utilized for sound or a more powerful light source.

462
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 3: So if you.

463
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: Ultimate portability, maybe battery smart features are great and a

464
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 4: sound system because you just grab this thing, connect it

465
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: to your phone and you're all as a hot spot

466
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 4: and you can watch movies or Netflix anywhere.

467
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: If you if I would say, probably look.

468
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 4: For a little bit more brightness A lot of times

469
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 4: people will use these these terms such as lux or

470
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: or think led lumens.

471
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: The one you'll look for is lumens.

472
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 4: That's like, that is the standard measurement, So you need

473
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 4: more lumens to overcome ambient light or a brighter scrap.

474
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 4: So if I'm going to get a small projector, like

475
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 4: I like the anchors, the little the little nebulous those

476
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: are those are great. The x GM's are great. There's

477
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: a lot of companies that make really great projectors. Those

478
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 4: little small ones are normally maybe uh, seven hundred lumens,

479
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: which is great for an eight inch TV, but you

480
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 4: can get some companies are making them that size that

481
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 4: are now fourteen hundred and fifteen hundred lumens. It's not

482
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: going to have a battery built. Then it'll be around

483
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 4: the same price, but that'll allow you to put like

484
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 4: one hundred and something one hundred and twenty inch screen outside,

485
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 4: which is actually nice.

486
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: But minimum seven hundred lumens is a pretty good number

487
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: for any about an eighty inch viewing screen.

488
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say even if you seven hundred looks

489
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 4: really really good at a minimum, you probably want to

490
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 4: be at four hundred would be my recommendation because that

491
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: will make it look the colors look more vibrant.

492
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: When they're shown at brighter at with higher brightnesses.

493
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: All right, we're running out of time here, but I

494
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: want to get some from some specific recommendations from you.

495
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: Any any recommendations you want to leave us with for

496
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: the pricey and then the budget projector.

497
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so if I was.

498
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: Gonna buy a big boy a pricey unit, those are

499
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 4: normally there's there's big there's brands that are way out

500
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: there at the price of a small BMW. But the

501
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 4: ones that if you're looking for ultra premium right now,

502
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 4: it's probably epsoin, JBC and Sony. So my favorite right

503
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 4: now is the big It's an EPSIN. It's called a

504
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 4: QL seven thousand. It has ten thousand lumens of brightness.

505
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 4: We're going to be showing one of those at Cedia

506
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 4: on a two hundred inch cinema screen and you'll be

507
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 4: able to watch that thing with the lights on.

508
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

509
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: Well, okay, am I getting the price right? About thirty

510
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: something thousand?

511
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: It's about thirty six thousand.

512
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: Oh okay, now I'll just get this.

513
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's what somebody wants, it's super bright. If

514
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 4: you're looking for inky inky inky blacks like a I

515
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 4: would probably do something like a JVC n Z nine

516
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 4: hundred or a Sony Bravia nine. Okay, Now, value people,

517
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 4: My favorite value syst a unit out there under five

518
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 4: hundred bucks. It'd be something like Yaba makes one that's

519
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 4: called a V twelve. It's like three hundred ninety nine

520
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: dollars about seven hundred lumens. It's it's a good little

521
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 4: projector for the price. And then there's another one called

522
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: there's a little epson called a Epivision flex I think

523
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 4: COO WO one. That's about four hundred actually that's about

524
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 4: four hundred dollars, but that is three thousand lumens. But

525
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: it has a bulb, so it's not like these. Most

526
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: of these a solid state that has a bulb. But

527
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 4: if you just want brightness in an itty bitty box,

528
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: that's the way to go.

529
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: All right. Phillip Jones with projector Reviews dot com. Thanks

530
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: so much for joining me today. Great information. Really appreciate it.

531
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: I'll put a link to everything you mentioned on the

532
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: website rich on tech dot tv. Coming up, I will

533
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: share that app that helps you clear the storage on

534
00:25:52,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: your iPhone right here on rich On Tech. All right

535
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: here it is. I know you've been waiting for this.

536
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: I love when I find something like this. When I

537
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: find something like this, I don't know why there's this Like,

538
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: there's this part of me that I'm like, I don't

539
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: want to share this because it's so good. Why do

540
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: I feel that way? Is that that's like a bad

541
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: way to feel. But every time I find something that's

542
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: so good, I'm like, I don't want to share this

543
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: with anyone because it's so good. But that's my whole

544
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: job is to share this with you. So when I

545
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: found this, I had to check and double check to

546
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: see if it is as good as I believe it is,

547
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: and it really is. So one of the most popular

548
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: questions I get is rich how do I clear out

549
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: the storage on my iPhone? I am up against the

550
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: storage they want me to pay for iCloud or I'm

551
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: out of my iCloud Because basically what's happening is this

552
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: becomes so easy to take large videos and tons of

553
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: photos on our phone. No one goes through and takes

554
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: the time to actually clear those out. So what do

555
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: we do? We get that email from Google or that

556
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: email from Apple saying hey, you need to up your

557
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: Eyecloud or pay for Eyecloud, and you probably just do

558
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: it because it starts out at ninety nine cents a

559
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: dollars ninety nine. Then it just keeps going up and

560
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: up and up. So here is the way to clear

561
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: out the photos that you don't need on your iPhone

562
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: or the large videos. Okay, and the app, this app

563
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna tell you about is completely free. There

564
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: are no ads. I couldn't believe it. No ads, and

565
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: I had to double check. There are no in app purchases.

566
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: So it's not even gonna try to sell you on

567
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: anything else. I mean, talk about the long game. What

568
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: this company is doing is they're basically going to say, oh,

569
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna love this so much, you're probably gonna check

570
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: out the other software that we offer, and you might

571
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: buy that because they do offer some other software that's

572
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: really good, by the way, So here it is. It's

573
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: called Clever Cleaner. Clever Cleaner, and if you go on

574
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: the app Store, you want to search this up it

575
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: says Clever Cleaner AI Cleanup app Clever Files Incorporated. Okay,

576
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: make sure you get the right one.

577
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 7: One.

578
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: Right now, it's number ninety four in productivity. I'm guessing

579
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow it's gonna be number one, because once the word

580
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: gets out about this app, it's gonna jump. So here's

581
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: the deal. It was developed by Clever Files. This is

582
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: a company that makes another app that I really like

583
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: called disc Drill. It's a data recovery app and it

584
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: helps you do all kinds of stuff. But this is

585
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: using AI and it's all happening local on your phone,

586
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: by the way, so it's not sending anything to the cloud.

587
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: You can do this app with your phone in airplane

588
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: mode it'll still work. But basically it's gonna use AI

589
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: to find not just duplicates, but also similar photos and videos.

590
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: So when you go into this app, there are four

591
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: screens at the bottom, four little tabs, okay, and the

592
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: first tab is similars and so it's gonna scan through

593
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: all your stuff and I've got two six hundred ninety

594
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: two files and it's going to say, you know, you

595
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: can do smart cleanup, which will just do this stuff

596
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: for you, or you can do one by one. It'll

597
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: show you the pictures side by side and you can decide.

598
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: It'll say which one it thinks is the better shot.

599
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: You can choose that and and move the other one

600
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: to trash. So that's number one. Then you've got my favorite,

601
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: the heavies. The heavies are your large files basically your

602
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: large videos, and so you can sort by your largest videos.

603
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: And this is just the feature that I don't think

604
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: it's built into the iPhone, but I wish it was.

605
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: It's built into Android, not iPhone. But you can sort

606
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: your videos by the largest So if you are having

607
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: trouble with taking new pictures on your phone, just literally

608
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: go to the heavies, delete the largest video file as

609
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: long as you don't need it anymore, and that will

610
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: get rid of all that storage and free up space

611
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: on your phone. I've got my first one is seven gigs,

612
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: second one is seven gigs, third one is six gigs,

613
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: five gigs, five gigs, four gigs. So that's my recommendation.

614
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: If you need to free up storage fast. Then you've

615
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: got the screen shots. This is all the screen shots

616
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: on your phone. You take up all these screenshots. I've

617
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: got one point twenty nine gigabytes of screenshots on my phone.

618
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Guess what, I probably don't need any of those. I

619
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: can delete those then you've got your lives, so you

620
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: can convert them into a standard picture if you want

621
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: to save space, like this live photo is twelve megabytes,

622
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: twelve megabytes, ten megabytes. You probably don't need all those.

623
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: And then you've got another feature in the middle, a

624
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Tinder like feature called swipe Photos, so it groups all

625
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: your photos by month, and then you can just swipe through.

626
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: So if I see this photo, I can swipe left

627
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: and it deletes it, swipe right to keep it, swipe

628
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: right to keep it, swipe right to keep it. So

629
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: you can do all that. So this app is really

630
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: really handy, and I just love it, and I think

631
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that once you discover it,

632
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, oh my gosh, now here is

633
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: the caveat. You have to understand if you are using

634
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: iCloud to save your photos, any changes you make inside

635
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: this app, if you are deleting photos, they will delete

636
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: out of your eye cloud. That is the way the

637
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: iPhone works. It is a mirror image of your camera roll.

638
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: So let me repeat that. If you go through and

639
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: delete all your pictures and think, oh, I'm just clearing

640
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: up the storage on my phone, no, you will delete

641
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: those out of your iCloud. So understand that you are

642
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: only deleting stuff that you do not need ever again

643
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: in your life. Okay, you have to be very understanding

644
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: of that. Now, if you are using something like a

645
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Google Photos on your iPhone, if you deleted these pictures,

646
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: they're not going to delete out of your Google Photos.

647
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: So if you're just trying to clear up space on

648
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: your physical phone and not in the cloud for Google Photos,

649
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: you can also do this, but just keep in mind

650
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: your photos will stay in Google, they will delete off

651
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: your phone. So that's what you need to know. Again.

652
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: It is called Clever Cleaner, and it is available for

653
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: the iPhone and it is free no ads. And I

654
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: think this is really really cool. And the thing is,

655
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: you might say, rich, the iPhone has a feature that

656
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: will show me my duplicates. It's right in the photos

657
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: app I got you. And I would say to you, well,

658
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad you noticed that, because I don't think anyone

659
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: ever has. But Apple literally only matches the exact file.

660
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: Like if you have two of the exact same photos

661
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: somehow on your phone, this will find the similar photos

662
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: that are very very similar. There the logo looks like

663
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: it's like colorful and it's it looks like almost a

664
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: circle with like a little film and photos inside. But

665
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: it's only available for iPhone, not Android. Now, if you're

666
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: on Android and you want something, there are some things

667
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: that are similar. There is one called Remo, which is

668
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: let's see Remo photos. I gotta find this, Oh gosh, oh,

669
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: I gotta find the photo, the duplicate photo. Find you're

670
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: on there. But there is a an app that might

671
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: be already be on your phone, but it's called Files

672
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: by Google. And if you open up Files by Google

673
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: or download it again no ads, no in app purchases,

674
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: you can go in the upper left hand corner. They

675
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: have a feature called clean and that will show you

676
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: your large files, your unused apps, your download files. And

677
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: that's an easy way again to reclaim some storage on

678
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: your Android phone. If you're using Google Photos on your Android,

679
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: literally just press and hold on the Google Photos app,

680
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: and there's an option that says free up Space. And

681
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: what that does is it deletes all the photos off

682
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: your phone, but it keeps them in the clouds. You

683
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: still have a copy, but your phone storage is freed up. Anyway,

684
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: I've linked this all up on the website. Go to

685
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: richon Tech dot TV eighty to eight rich one oh

Speaker 1: zero one. This is rich on Tech. Let's go to

688
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: Jim in Northern Arizona. Jim, you're on with Rich.

689
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 5: Hey Rich, i'd him Presco Valley again.

690
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: Hello, welcome back.

691
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: I'm so glad you're okay. That photo of your car was.

692
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Something to see, boy, yeah, something of being into Yeah.

693
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 5: I imagine I currently use a password manager across multiple

694
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 5: Windows devices and iOS devices, and I'm getting more and

695
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 5: more prompts to switch to pass key and I wasn't

696
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: quite sure how that would work across multiple devices Windows

697
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 5: and PCs and iOS. And can I still use my

698
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 5: user idea and password if I switched to it?

699
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: Good question. So pass keys are the new way to

700
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: log in that uses sort of a digital handshake with

701
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: the device that you're on. It exchanges a little token

702
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: and it replaces the password. Now, I will tell you

703
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: in my experience, and I've set up a couple of

704
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: these pass keys. When they work, they're amazing. But here

705
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: is the thing that I've noticed, and a lot of

706
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: these websites are pushing hard for pass keys and Jim,

707
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: I think you're doing the right thing by using a

708
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: universal password manager that works across all of your devices.

709
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: Because many of the password managers, like a Bitwarden or

710
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: a dash Lane or a one password, a lot of

711
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: them can handle passkeys. But also your Windows computer can

712
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: do pass keys, and Chrome can do pass keys, and

713
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: iOS can do passkeys. So what I've noticed is that

714
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: when the past key prompt comes up, it's trying to

715
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: ping all these different ways of getting that pass key,

716
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: because unlike a password, you can have a pass key

717
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: for different devices, And this is where it gets a

718
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: little bit confusing. So let's just use home Depot as

719
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: an example. Let's say you go to the home Depot

720
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: website and it says, hey, would you like to set

721
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: up a pass key? And you go sure. It puts

722
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: a little piece of data wherever you save that passkey,

723
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: so it could be on your Windows computer, it could

724
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: be through your password manager, it could be through your

725
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: Apple computer, could be through your iOS passwords app. So

726
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: wherever you store that, it stays there and then it's

727
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: used the next time. So not only could you use

728
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: your password manager, but you could also have a pass

729
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: key on your phone. You could also have a pass

730
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: key on your laptop. You could have a pass key

731
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: on your tablet, and so it gets a little confusing

732
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: to use these. But I guess my advice is to

733
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: try it out with a website that you don't really

734
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: care about too much, like a home depot. Sorry home depot,

735
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean, any any website

736
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: that's just you know, you're not not like your Google like,

737
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: maybe start with one of these other websites just to

738
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: get a flavor of it. And once you set up

739
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: the pass key, logging in is pretty easy because however

740
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: you typically log into your computer is how you would

741
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: authorize that pass key. So, for instance, if you're on

742
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: your phone and you try to log in with a

743
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: pass key and you use a password manager, all you

744
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: have to do is just use face ide or your

745
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: fingerprint reader for your to open up your password manager

746
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: and it would just exchange that pass key. So you're

747
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: not typing anything in, you're not copying and pasting, it's

748
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: not filling in a password. And the beauty of past

749
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: keys is that they're not easily hacked because you can

750
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: go to a phishing website and copy and paste your

751
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: password in there, or In the worst case scenario, your

752
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: password manager gets tricked and it pasts that password in

753
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: there and you log in and next thing you know,

754
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: they're stealing your information past key. It's really, really, almost

755
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: nearly impossible for that to happen because the website has

756
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: to exchange a special token with your password manager to

757
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: get that pass key back, and so it is much

758
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: more secure in that aspect, and there's no nothing to forget,

759
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: there's nothing to remember. So can you use passkeys in

760
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: addition to your password. Yes, so even if you use

761
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: a pass key, you can still log in with your

762
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 1: old password the old fashioned way. The thing that I've

763
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 1: noticed that makes this a little bit tricky is two

764
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: factor authentication. So on my major websites, of course, I

765
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: have two factor authentication turned on. So passkeys are supposed

766
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: to be super smooth and seamless. Where let's say you

767
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: go to that home Depot website, you log in, it

768
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: says pass key, you tap pass key, it pings your

769
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: password manager, your password manager asks you for your face ID,

770
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: You do your face ID, and it sends that pass

771
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: key to home depot and you get logged in. That's

772
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: the way it should work, really fast and easily, but

773
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: if you have two factor authentication set up, it's probably

774
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: still going to text you that code for two factor authentication,

775
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: so it's still a little extra step to log into

776
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: those websites. So for me personally, as much as I

777
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: want to recommend passkeys and I think you should try them,

778
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: and I do think they're easy when they work, I'm

779
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: not completely convinced just yet in the ease of use

780
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: for the average person because it is a little confusing

781
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: because literally, when I go to certain websites, I'm not kidding.

782
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: On my desktop computer, my MacBook, I have my password

783
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: manager pops up to offer up the to save the

784
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: past key, then my Chrome pops up to ask to

785
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: save the pass key, and then my MacBook offers to

786
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: save the pass key or to push the pass key through.

787
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: So it's like all these things kind of competing, and

788
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to probably go into settings and

789
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: make sure that you turn off all these other ways

790
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: of saving things. But it's a little complicated. So I

791
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: guess the long answer, Jim is that try them, see

792
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: how they work out for you. Try them on some

793
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: low stakes websites. But I do have them set up

794
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: for a bunch of my websites that I regularly log into,

795
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: and when it works, it's amazing because it's so fast

796
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: and it's so easy. But I just and I guess

797
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to wish the two factor authentication away,

798
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it is that extra layer

799
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: of well, why is this easier than just my password

800
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: being entered? But I think at the end of the day,

801
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: the ease comes from the fact that it's not easily phished.

802
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: Nobody can say, hey, can you tell me your pass key?

803
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: It's just not possible. You can't verbally speak a pass

804
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: key like you can a password. And I think at

805
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: that moment that's what makes it way more secure for

806
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: the average person is you can't be tricked into sharing

807
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: this pass key. So Windows supports passkeys, Apple supports passkeys,

808
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: Android supports passkeys, one password, dash Lane, Bitwarden. You can

809
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: do it all. If you want to set a pass

810
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: key up, go to your website that you want to

811
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: set it up for log in the old fashioned way

812
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: with your password. Go to your account settings, look for

813
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: pass key. It's somewhere in there. Tap create and make

814
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 1: sure you save that pass key in a place where

815
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: you can retrieve it. And it's not a big deal.

816
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: If you can't like retrieve that pass key later, you

817
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: can still use your password to log in. I think

818
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: there's a little confusion there. And there is a website,

819
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: this Fido Alliance, which tells you all the different websites

820
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: that support passkeys, and it's a lot. I mean, I'm

821
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: looking through Adobe, Amazon, Bank of America, best Buy, Bitwarden, BMW,

822
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: City Bank, CVS, Coinbase. I mean, these are just the

823
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: c's eBay. So if you want to try it on

824
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: one of these websites, go to this. I'll put this

825
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: in the show notes, this Fido Alliance pass keys directory.

826
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: So again, try it on a low stakes website. So

827
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: go to something like I said, like a home depot

828
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: or an eBay or a kayak and just set up

829
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: a pass key and see what the process is like

830
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: and then log out and log back in and see

831
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: if it makes life a little bit easier for you.

832
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: So according to this, let's see, there's one hundred and

833
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: fifty nine websites that support this right now in their directory.

834
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: There may be more, but big companies like Verizon and

835
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: Walmart are all list to hear Yahoo, So again, try

836
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: it out, see what it's like, good question, Jim, and yes,

837
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: you can use them across devices. My recommendation is to

838
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: use them in your password manager. Whatever you're using for

839
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: your password manager, that's where you want to set up

840
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: and save your pass keys. The one thing I do

841
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: not recommend do not use your pass word manager for

842
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: your two factor authentication codes. A lot of the password

843
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: managers let you also save two factor authentication codes for

844
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: your websites. Do not do that. I don't recommend it

845
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: because if someone was ever to get in to your

846
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: password manager, now they not only have your passwords, but

847
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: they also have your two factor authentication codes. So for

848
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: that reason, I recommend a third party two factor authentication

849
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: code manager, and the one I love is called Proton Authenticator.

850
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: It has every single feature that I want in a

851
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: two factor authentication app, which namely is if you want

852
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: to use it locally on your devices, you can, but

853
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: if you want to use it across all your devices,

854
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: you can. If you want to import keys from another app,

855
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: you can do that. If you want to export all

856
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: of your codes to another app you want to move

857
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: you find something better that comes along, you can do that.

858
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: So Proton has really made a slick authentication app that

859
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: is completely free and it does everything you need. Why

860
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: is it free, Rich, Well, because they want you to

861
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: discover how amazing this app is for free. And then

862
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: you say, let me check out what Proton's all about.

863
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: I like what they're doing here. I like the design.

864
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: It's clean, it's slick, it's really really well done. So

865
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: let me see what else they offer. And yes, they

866
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: offer a whole bunch of other stuff. They offer proton

867
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: pass which is their password manager, their VPN mail which

868
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: is super secure drive calendar. So they've got a whole

869
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff that they offer. And it's that halo effect.

870
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: You go into Proton Authenticator and next thing you know,

871
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: use in Proton mail using Proton vpn. That's the name

872
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: of the game there. And I believe Proton vpn actually

873
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: has a free level too. I think it's one of

874
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: the few VPNs with a free level of service. Proton Yeah,

875
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: free VPN, one device, no ads, no logs, unlimited and

876
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: free forever. So if you're looking for a free VPN,

877
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: protonvpn dot com check it out. All right, I'll link

00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 8: Rich, I too had a car accident this year and

889
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 8: we're lucky to be alive. I'm glad I'm talking to you.

890
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you're talking to me as well. Thank

891
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: you for that. What can what can I help you with?

892
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 8: Okay, so a simple question. I have a Pixel nine Pro.

893
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 8: I got it like in January. Ever since I've had it,

894
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 8: I've never seen it download an update because it always

895
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 8: stops in the middle and says you have to start

896
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 8: all over again connecting your wireless. And when I look

897
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 8: at my wireless connector, it always says saved, check password

898
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 8: and try again.

899
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 5: Oh okay, And I have otherwise.

900
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 4: I have.

901
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 8: Unlimited wireless with AT and T, so I'm totally confused

902
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 8: of what is being downloaded. And I'm at sixteen at

903
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 8: Android sixteen isn't that where.

904
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 9: You're supposed to be?

905
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Android sixteen. You're you're good there. Okay, So

906
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: a couple things here. Number one, it doesn't typically like

907
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: to download the software updates over cellular. It will in

908
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: a pinch, I believe, but it mostly wants Wi Fi

909
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: because they're usually pretty sizable. So it sounds like your

910
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: WiFi is not properly connected on this device. So saved

911
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: check password means that it's trying to use the password

912
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: and it's not working, and so it's actually not connected

913
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: to that Wi Fi network. And so what you want

914
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: to do is go into your settings. Okay, do you

915
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: want to follow alonger you on your phone?

916
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 8: Well, I'm on my thirder. I've done this like ten times.

917
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: Okay, oh okay, well let me let me walk you

918
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: through it.

919
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 8: I try again, just to see what's going on.

920
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let me walk you through what I think

921
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 1: you should do, and then I'll give you a couple

922
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: of solutions that will probably fix this forever. But and

923
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't require throwing your phone out the window, all right.

924
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: So you go into your settings, you go to network

925
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: and Internet and then it says internet wireless. You tap

926
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: there and where you have your wireless connection, you want

927
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: to connect, tap the little it looks like a little

928
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: gear icon, and you want to forget the network completely,

929
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: and that way you are starting fresh with this network.

930
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: And then I would restart your phone and go back

931
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: in and connect to that network using that password. And

932
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: if it says you know, connected, then your password worked.

933
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: If it says problem, then that password is not working.

934
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: That's number one. And in the upper right hand corner

935
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: of your phone, you should see the five G or

936
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: four G replace with a little Wi Fi indicator, so

937
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: that means that everything is working now. If that's not working,

938
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: the next level of what I would do is go

939
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: down into your let's see system. I gotta find where

940
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: this is okay system under settings and then there's something

941
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: called reset options, and there's an option called reset Bluetooth

942
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: and Wi Fi, and so I would do that, and

943
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 1: that's going to wipe all of your Wi Fi settings clean.

944
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: It's going to wipe all of your Bluetooth connections clean,

945
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to re log in to your

946
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 1: Wi Fi networks no matter where you are work, home,

947
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: and you're also going to have to reconnect your Bluetooth

948
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: and if that doesn't work, which, by the way, that

949
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: should fix like ninety nine point nine percent of problems

950
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: that people have, you can do what's called a factory reset. Now,

951
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: with pixel phones, pretty much everything's backed up to the clouds.

952
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: You're not going to lose much data, if any at all.

953
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: You shouldn't. But what you can do is that factory

954
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: reset will reset this phone back to the factory conditions.

955
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: Any little bugs, any little issues that are lingering, will

956
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: all be clear and fixed. And in that way you

957
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: can then reset your phone up. You're gonna have to

958
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: log in, you're gonna have to download all your stuff again,

959
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: but your phone should work. The other thing I would

960
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: say to do is there's something that people don't do

961
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: on the Android side of things, and there is a

962
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: let's see where is it here? Okay, I gotta find it.

963
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: They moved it a system and updates. Here it is.

964
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: So there's not only a security update a system update

965
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: on the Androids, but there's also a Google Play system update,

966
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: and so check for that one. That one adds new

967
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: features to your phone. I just checked it online. I

968
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: got a ninety three megabyte download. So a lot of

969
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: people think that there's just the software update, but there's

970
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: also what's called a Google Play System update available on

971
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: your Android. So if you're listening, you got an Android,

972
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: go into your settings right now and check for this.

973
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: This is where Google pushes out a lot of their

974
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: new features. So go into Settings and then you'll see

975
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: where it says let's see here system Nope, sorry, Security

976
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: and Privacy, and then it says system and updates, and

977
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: then you say Google Play System Update. Check for system

978
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: update there, download and install. It'll restart your phone and

979
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: that adds new features to your Android phone without a

980
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: full system software update. So on the Android phones, you've

981
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: got three places to look for software updates. Number one

982
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: the operating system that's called your system update. Number two,

983
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: new Google features that's called the Google Play System update.

984
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: Number three App updates that's inside the Play Store. So

985
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: three places. If you're having any issues with your phone whatsoever,

986
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: you always want to download all those software updates, restart

987
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: your phone, and see if your phone works properly. Again, Lisa,

988
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: it sounds like the connection issue is just a mistaken

989
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: password in this instance, but it could also be that

990
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: it's something's just lingering from that Wi Fi connection and

991
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: you need to clean up that Wi Fi connection and

992
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: it should work better. Good question. Thanks for the call today.

993
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: I love the Pixel phones. They last seven years, seven

994
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 1: years of software updates. So don't think that because it's

995
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: not working, it's it's ruined forever. Believe me, you can

996
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: just reformat that phone. It'll work great. I know that's

997
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: the last ditch resort. You don't want to do that.

998
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, first Champ, you don't want to do that

999
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: as the first step. Thanks for the call, Lisa. Eighty

1002
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas, you have a new option for a robotaxi.

1003
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: Amazon's Zekes self driving cars are now roaming the streets.

1004
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Rides are free because guess what, you are the beta tester,

1005
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: so you can download the Zokes app on iOS and Android.

1006
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: The vehicles have no steering wheel, no pedals, no driver's

1007
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: seat inside. It's face to face to the other riders.

1008
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: So again, these are now in Las Vegas. Zekes zo

00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: back to rich on tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out

1013
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: with you, talking technology at Triple eight Rich one O

1014
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

1015
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,240
Speaker 1: zero one. We will get back to the phone lines

1016
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But first, while I was up

1017
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: at Apple, I had the opportunity to interview Kayenne Rantz.

1018
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: She is Apple's vice president of worldwide iPhone product Marketing.

1019
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: She's talking all about the big iPhone seventeen announcements, including

1020
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: Apple's thinnest iPhone yet. Let's talk about the iPhone error.

1021
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: Rich this is the headline stealing phone, thinnest phone yet

1022
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: from Apple. Didn't think it could get any thinner. So

1023
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: how much work went into making this phone?

1024
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 10: Oh my goodness.

1025
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 11: Well, as you saw, we had to make a whole

1026
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 11: bunch of rethinking as to how we were going to

1027
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 11: do this design. And it is the thinnest iPhone ever,

1028
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 11: but it's got that pro performance inside and it's unbelievably

1029
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 11: thin and light.

1030
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 10: You got to pick it up to feel it. Yet

1031
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 10: it's really durable. Right.

1032
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 11: We talked about how it's more durable than any previous iPhone,

1033
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 11: and that includes our choice and materials like titanium, some

1034
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 11: great engineering into being able to put all the components

1035
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 11: in that top camera plateau area to save even more

1036
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 11: room for battery life. So'all came together, I think.

1037
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: Explain that term camera plateau is the first time I

1038
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: heard it. Yes, makes sense, like a little mountain on

1039
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: the phone.

1040
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 11: It's that top correctly where the camera lives, right, and

1041
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 11: so for the first time, we've precision milled that out

1042
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 11: and we're putting even more advanced technologies. In fact, the

1043
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 11: A nineteen prochip lives in that top area for the

1044
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 11: first time, and that's one of the reasons why we're

1045
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 11: able to manage the great performance of the phone and

1046
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 11: still retain a lot of great space for battery life

1047
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 11: and everything else. One thing that if I didn't mention yet,

1048
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 11: the pro motion display being across the lineup.

1049
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 10: That's a great everyday benefit.

1050
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: Can you explain that in like an average consumer term,

1051
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: because it's like it's it's kind of a tough thing

1052
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: to understand. What does that mean exactly that the promotion

1053
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: display has come to the base model.

1054
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, we've only typically had pro motion on our pro models,

1055
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 11: so this year the first time it's going.

1056
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 10: To be on iPhone seventeen. And so what that is

1057
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 10: is as.

1058
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 11: You're scrolling through content, like you're looking in Safari on

1059
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 11: a website, you're reading something, it's going to give you

1060
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 11: this really adaptively smooth refresh rate even to follow how

1061
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 11: fast you're scrolling. And when you're watching movies, it's going

1062
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 11: to match the frame rate needed and so in some

1063
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 11: cases it can save battery life also, but it looks great,

1064
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 11: so as you're scrolling, it looks great on the eyes.

1065
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 11: And the other great thing in addition to pro motion

1066
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 11: is all our displays are brighter, so you can get

1067
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 11: even brighter content when you're outdoors, and we've added an

1068
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 11: anti reflective coating to reduce that glare when you're outside

1069
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 11: and your.

1070
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 10: iPhone goes with you everywhere.

1071
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 11: And it's also three times better resistance to scratching, which

1072
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 11: is a great everyday benefit.

1073
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, how does the average consumer decide

1074
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: between the Air and another model of the iPhone at

1075
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: this point?

1076
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 11: Sure, well, I think one of the easiest things to

1077
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 11: think about is, like I said, that the iPhone Air

1078
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 11: has that pro performed but in this thin and light design,

1079
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 11: and so if you go in and you pick that up,

1080
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 11: and that really makes sense to you as the phone

1081
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 11: you want, that's great. It still has an advanced camera

1082
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 11: system on the back, and all the models this year

1083
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 11: have that new center stage front camera selfie experience.

1084
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 10: So that's the same across the board.

1085
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 11: It still has great battery life, and like I said,

1086
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 11: it's really durable. Now, if you're someone who wants the

1087
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 11: very best iPhone in the world, that would be the

1088
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 11: iPhone seventeen Pro or the larger iPhone seventeen promacs. We're

1089
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 11: pushing performance, camera capabilities, battery life, everything to that very

1090
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 11: top level. And if that's something that's important to you,

1091
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,240
Speaker 11: like you just want to capture every single possible photo,

1092
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 11: every single focal length or zoom length, then the iPhone

1093
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 11: seventeen Pro might be the one for you.

1094
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that new selfie camera experience. Sure, it's

1095
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: going to be a pretty big departure for many people

1096
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: because you don't have to rotate your phone anymore. Yeah,

1097
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: how do you explain the innovation there?

1098
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 10: Sure?

1099
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 11: Well, basically, for a user, it just means you can

1100
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 11: hold your phone really naturally in that portrait orientation, and

1101
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 11: whether it's just you in the frame or suddenly you've

1102
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 11: got three other people or more people in the frame,

1103
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 11: the phone can automatically detect the faces using AI and

1104
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 11: it will do like.

1105
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 10: A virtual rotation of the phone.

1106
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 11: For you using that innovative new square sensor, and so

1107
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 11: that you can get actually four different composition styles all

1108
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 11: by holding your phone in the same way. So you

1109
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 11: just got a smile, You got a smile, and your

1110
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 11: eyes will be right in the frame.

1111
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 10: And it's just super easy to use.

1112
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: Is there any sacrifice in terms of quality with the

1113
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: photos because it's you know, different sort orientations.

1114
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 11: Well, it is up to an eighteen megapixel output, so

1115
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 11: it's it's got even higher resolution than before as the

1116
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 11: max resolution output. And the quality is fantastic because with

1117
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 11: our photonic engine, with our computation photography, all the software

1118
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 11: that we do, it's absolutely great quality.

1119
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 10: And like I said, your videos get better.

1120
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 11: So if you're doing FaceTime, you're going to stay stable

1121
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 11: in the frame and you've got like action mode type

1122
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 11: stabilization when you're recording on the front video too.

1123
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: I test a lot of phones, a lot of different cameras.

1124
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: The video on the iPhone is really incredible. The camera

1125
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: is always something that delivers. So have there been improvements

1126
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 1: this year in the camera and video quality that consumers

1127
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: will notice, sure will.

1128
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 11: All the cameras have our latest camera systems with the

1129
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 11: A nineteen or the A nineteen pro chip, and we're

1130
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 11: always making improvements across the board, whether it's color or

1131
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 11: tuning or things that we do just every year to

1132
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 11: make things even better. And of course we have a

1133
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 11: new ultra wide camera that's also high resolution on iPhone

1134
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 11: seventeen this year, so your zero point five shots and

1135
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 11: those wide fun perspectives, your macro photography is going to

1136
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 11: get even.

1137
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 10: Better detail and quality.

1138
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,919
Speaker 11: And then on the pros we also have this new

1139
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 11: telephoto right it gets you the four X zoom and

1140
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 11: all the way to eight X zoom, and now your

1141
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 11: digital zoom goes up to forty X, so you're going

1142
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 11: to get closer to the action than ever before. And

1143
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 11: we talked about having eight pro lens equivalents in your

1144
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 11: pocket with all the different framing options. So there's a

1145
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 11: lot of great things, but at the end of the day,

1146
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 11: you just have to take a great photo because iPhone

1147
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 11: will help you you that and you don't have to

1148
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 11: think too much about it.

1149
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: And when it comes to storing those photos, two hundred

1150
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: and fifty six across the board. Now, that's right, that's

1151
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: a that's a sizable increase. And I think for consumers

1152
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: who are consumer, you know, taking so many photos and videos,

1153
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good thing.

1154
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's great.

1155
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 11: And for iPhone seventeen it's two fifty six, which is

1156
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 11: double last year's storage capacity. But we kept the same

1157
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 11: seven ninety nine starting price, So that's a great value.

1158
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 11: And now with all the photos and videos you're taking,

1159
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 11: as you said, you have more space to store them

1160
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 11: on your phone.

1161
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned pricing, How important was it to keep pricing

1162
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: similar and not, you know, have these wild swings with pricing.

1163
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: Did you put a lot of thought into that this year?

1164
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 11: We put a lot of thought into everything, and we're

1165
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 11: really happy where we landed with the pricing where it is.

1166
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 11: And the other great thing is in the US there's

1167
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 11: a lot of great carrier offers and Apple offers.

1168
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 10: So Apple can offer.

1169
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 11: Up to seven hundred dollars now and being able to

1170
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 11: go into trade in an iPhone thirteen or newer, and

1171
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 11: our carrier partners they actually have up to eleven hundred

1172
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 11: dollars off in credit when you trade in an iPhone

1173
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 11: thirteen or newer in any condition and you can go

1174
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 11: into an Apple retail store or Apple online to take

1175
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 11: advantage of that too.

1176
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: When it comes to that upgrade cycle, who do you

1177
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: think is I know you want everyone's upgrade obviously, but

1178
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: who do you think is ripe for an upgrade at

1179
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: this point? If you're rocking an iPhone thirteen fourteen, where

1180
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: do you think that sweet spot is?

1181
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 10: Well, it depends on you, of course, right. We have

1182
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 10: people who.

1183
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 11: Upgrade every year just because they're so excited to get

1184
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 11: the latest. We know that, you know, all the previous

1185
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 11: phones were fantastic and have great durability, so we love

1186
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 11: that people are able to continue using them. But if

1187
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 11: there's something that speaks to you, whether it's the center stage,

1188
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 11: front camera, whether it's battery life, whether there's these stunning

1189
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 11: new designs, it's a great time with all these grade

1190
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 11: offers to come over and over and upgrade.

1191
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: Now iOS twenty six is also going to launch, and

1192
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be a big upgrade for a lot

1193
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: of people. What can they expect to see out of

1194
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: that on their phone that they already have.

1195
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 11: Sure, well, you have the same kinds of things that

1196

00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 11: all of our hardware capabilities as well. And of course

1205
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 11: we have some updates coming for Apple Intelligence. People have

1206
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 11: been already using the writing tools and clean up, but

1207
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 11: now there's live translation, so you can do that in messages,

1208
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:22,440

Speaker 11: around you, learning about places or objects, or adding a

1212
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 11: poster to an event in your calendar, or using your

Speaker 11: comes with the new phones as well.

1218
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: Any update on AI, some people say that Apple is

1219
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: behind in this, they promise some things. Can you give

1220
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: an update on when we're going to see that next

1221
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: burst of AI features.

1222
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 11: On the iPhone well with iOS twenty six coming next

1223
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 11: week with some of the new ones that I mentioned,

1224
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 11: like the visual intelligence updates, live translation. They'll be some

1225
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 11: more updates as we go And you know we talked

1226
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 11: about we're working hard to bring even more updates as

1227
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 11: we go on. And our strategy has always been to

1228
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 11: create something that's advanced but accessible and easy to use

1229
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 11: for everyone. So we continue to embed it across our

1230
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,919
Speaker 11: technologies to make it personal, private, and easy to use

1231
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 11: and to meet you in your everyday life, just in

1232
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 11: the app that you need.

1233
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: And finally, I was looking at that iPhone Air. I

1234
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: feel like if you put two of them together, it

1235
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: can almost be a foldable phone. So is this the

1236
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: precursor to something that Apple might be working on the future.

1237
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 11: Well, I can't comment on the future, but I love

1238
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 11: your imagination.

1239
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: All right. That was Cayenne Drants from Apple with more

1240
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: on the new iPhone seventeen lineup. Eighty to eight Rich

1241
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: one oh one eighty eight seven four to two, four

1242
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: one zero one your calls next, Jay, I see you've

1243
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: been waiting for over an hour. You're on with Rich.

1244
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 6: Hey, Yeah, I'm glad you're okay from your car accident.

1245
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Thank you.

1246
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 5: So my question is, so I.

1247
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 6: Recently went from a fourteen Promax to I'm sorry fifteen promacs.

1248
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 6: The battery was I was using it so much that

1249
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 6: I was going to just replace the battery, but my

1250
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 6: carrier basically it was only an extra one hundred bucks

1251
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 6: to go to the sixteen Promax. This was just a

1252
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 6: couple of months ago. I really liked the phone, obviously,

1253
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 6: it's great, battery life's great. Now I'm seeing all these

1254
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 6: great things about the seventeen. I've got the you know,

1255
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 6: literally the last version, And like the previous interviewer you

1256
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 6: were saying, was, you know, they give a lot of

1257
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 6: money for these trade backs, so it's really not that expensive.

1258
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 6: You know, I pay for my phones outright, So I'm wondering,

1259
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 6: in your opinion, would it be worth it to just

1260
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 6: go ahead and trade this thing in. And you know,

1261
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 6: with all this new tech with the seventeen, to pull

1262
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 6: the trigger on that.

1263
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Well, let's take a look at what you're getting. So,

1264
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: first off, you're getting a faster process, which of course

1265
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: is always nice, but the sixteen is already fast. The

1266
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: big change here is this new vapor chamber that makes

1267
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: the phone stay cooler longer. So that's a nice thing,

1268
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: especially if you're using your phone under any sort of

1269
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: heavy video editing or gaming stuff like that. You've got

1270
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: the brand new design, so if you like the new

1271
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: design of the phone, it's got better scratch resistance on

1272
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the front and the back, which is nice. Let's see,

1273
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: display is brighter, so you're gonna get a brighter display

1274
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: for that money. Longer battery life. So I don't know

1275
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: about your sixteen Promax, but mine the battery life has

1276
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: kind of taken a little hit in recent months. So

1277
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping that the seventeen Promac is going to

1278
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: be better. I don't know if you notice that or not.

1279
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I had the battery, Like I said, I only

1280
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 6: got it a couple months ago. The good thing I

1281
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 6: do like about it is it charges really fast.

1282
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and you still get that yeah.

1283
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 6: I mean look, yeah, the battery is huge to me.

1284
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the battery is supposed to be the best

1285
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: yet ever on the iPhone. It's it also has a

1286
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: faster charging because now you can use a forty WAT adapter,

1287
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: which is something that you know, many people may not

1288
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: care about, but yeah, if you're trying to get a

1289
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: faster charge, it does charge faster with a forty WAT adapter,

1290
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: but you will need a new adapter before. I think

1291
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: you need a thirty WAT now forty WAT for the fastest.

1292
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: You get the new camera system, which, of course Apple

1293
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: is always pushing the envelope when it comes to the camera,

1294
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: So you're going to get the eight times total optical

1295
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: quote quality zoom, and of course it takes in more

1296
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: light because it's got a bigger sensor, so that's nice.

1297
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: The front facing camera is going to be eighteen megapixels

1298
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: versus twelve. You're also going to get to take it,

1299
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, vertical or horizontal. Let's see what else. The

1300
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: base storage is now two fifty six. I'm not sure

1301
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: what you've got on yours right now, but two fifty

1302
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: six is the new base and it's got the new

1303
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: and one chip inside which has Wi Fi seven, the

1304
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: latest Bluetooth, and thread so you've got all that going on.

1305
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: So I would say for one hundred bucks, Jay, I mean,

1306
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: I think it's worse fit personally because it sounds like

1307
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: you're someone that's interested in the latest, greatest, and one

1308
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars is really kind of a no brainer to

1309
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: me for having the latest technology.

1310
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're right. I think I'm gonna pull

1311
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 6: the trigger on it.

1312
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Awesome. What color are you gonna go with?

1313
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 6: Uh think I'm gonna go with the orange.

1314
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm from Tennessee's Oh nice. I heard they're gonna they're

1315
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna sell a lot of these in Austin and I

1316
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: guess Tennessee.

1317
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 6: There you go, Tennessee, Texas.

1318
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Texas. Okay, very cool. Well, enjoy. Pre orders

1319
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: are open, so you have that. And how much are

1320
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: they gonna give you for old phones?

1321
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 6: You know, well, they gave me for the fifteen promacs,

1322
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 6: they gave me a grand so oh my god, I'm

1323
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 6: assuming it's gonna be uh roughly the same, so that

1324
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 6: basically I paid one hundred bucks. Then pluck, they make

1325
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 6: you pay for the tax on the phone, which is,

1326
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 6: you know, another another seventy bucks. It's to me, that's

1327
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 6: not like it was a no brainer for me because

1328
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 6: the battery itself was going to be you know, seventy

1329
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 6: eighty dollars to replace it.

1330
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: So oh yeah, no, I think this is no brainer.

1331
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: I think easy, easy choice in your life right now.

1332
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: That's that's the easiest choice you'll make all year? All right, Jay, Well,

1333
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: thanks so much, Enjoy the new phone.

Speaker 7: Thank you.

1342
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 9: I'm calling because my friend lost his phone. It's been

1343
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 9: missing since Thursday, and we don't know if he had

1344
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 9: it on Wednesday, but for sure by Thursday was gone.

1345
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 9: And I've tried to help him find it, going the

1346
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 9: usual route using the Google Find My Phone or I

1347
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 9: called the carrier of Verizon to see if they could help,

1348
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 9: and it was a Motorola Moto let's the Moto G

1349
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 9: play from twenty twenty three. So I called Motorola and

1350
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 9: they weren't able to help to track it, and I

1351
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 9: called well, I sort of went online and to see

1352
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 9: if I could find like some companies or something that

1353
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 9: might be able to help the track it. There was

1354
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 9: one that I kind of put in the phone number

1355
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 9: and it said it it found it, but they were

1356
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 9: asking for a service and I wasn't sure, you know

1357
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 9: how legitimate.

1358
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: No, don't do that. That's no. The only way that

1359
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: I know to find a lost Android is go to

1360
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Android dot com slash find. He sounds like you already

1361
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: did that, right, I think I did? Yeah, okay, so.

1362
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 9: But I can try because I know I went to

1363
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 9: the the Google one to find my phone one. So

1364
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 9: but you're saying Android, what was it?

1365
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Androids Android dot com slash find, And okay, you have

1366
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: to log in with you know, his account and his

1367
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Google account, and if his phone was linked to his

1368
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: Google account, which it's an Android, it should be, you

1369
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: can tap on that phone and you will find the location.

1370
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: I just did it for my Android, and it shows

1371
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: exactly where it is right now. It shows that it

1372
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: has wireless service, the batteries at eighty two percent. You

1373
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: can play a sound, you can secure the device, you

1374
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: can factory reset it. But what do you are you

1375
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: do you think this phone was stolen? So if the.

1376
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 9: Battery was dead, do you think it would still be

1377
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 9: able to track it?

1378
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: It might give you the last known location.

1379
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 12: So these things what we're looking for.

1380
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 9: That's what we want to know is where was the

1381
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 9: last nine Let.

1382
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Me let me look at a phone that I haven't

1383
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:34,479
Speaker 1: used in a long time.

1384
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 3: Let's see here.

1385
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Let's see if it gives me this one. So I'm

1386
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: checking the old Google Pixel nine that I had, and

1387
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: it says contacting device. So I'm not sure if it's

1388
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: going to show me that last location, so that it

1389
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: just sort of depends. I guess if the phone is

1390
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: still alive, let's see, can you get the last Yeah,

1391
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see it's saying contacting

1392
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: device and it's taken a while. Well, I know it's

1393
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: not going to find it because that phone is nowhere

1394
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: to be found at this point. But yeah, it would

1395
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: be ideal if they showed you the last location, but

1396
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: it may not. The other thing you can think about

1397
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: is if you had like a tile device on there

1398
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: or anither. I'm trying to think of. Yeah, see, it

1399
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: can't reach the device, so it sounds like it may

1400
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: not show the last known location on these things. It's

1401
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: just kind of doesn't look like it's able to do that.

1402
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: So if it's alive and battery, you might be able

1403
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 1: to find it. But where does he think he left

1404
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: us Somewhere?

1405
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, he thinks maybe he lost it at work because

1406
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 9: we've tried calling the phone, you know, the usual call

1407
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 9: of the phone, and we were listening around through the

1408
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 9: whole house and in the car and in the garage,

1409
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 9: I mean everywhere on the property. We were listening for

1410
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 9: that phone and it didn't ring, and so you know,

1411
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 9: he thinks it might have fallen out at work, and

1412
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 9: so we've been calling it over there. But you know,

1413
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 9: at this point, we don't know if the battery was

1414
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 9: dead or if it's an a location where they can't

1415
01:08:59,160 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 9: hear it.

1416
01:08:59,520 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 6: Bringing.

1417
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, did he did he have a tile or anything

1418
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: like that attached to that phone?

1419
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 9: No?

1420
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: Okay, because say that could be another way or life

1421
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 1: three sixty or some of these things. Yeah, I mean,

1422
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: that's that's a tough one. If you can't find it,

1423
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: it might be a total loss. But that's the best

1424
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: way to do it. That Android dot com slash fine day.

1425
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: I think you know, note to Google last location. Let's

1426
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: include that right, that would help people if the battery

1427
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: goes dead, like you can still find your phone. Eighty

1428

1435
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: can tell.

1436
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 12: I called you a long time ago about Zelta dot com,

1437
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 12: d e l DT dot com and you, and then

1438
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 12: the last couple weeks ago you said you like original ideas.

1439
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: Right, I love original ideas.

1440
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:14,799
Speaker 12: That sparked me. I have like four thousand pages of text,

1441
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 12: you know, okay, prolific and prolific in problem and yeah,

1442
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 12: every day there's a new uh something, new original idea

1443
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 12: pretty much every single day, maybe even more.

1444
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: What's what can I help you with?

1445
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 12: Oh, I'm just going to ask a question. I'm trying

1446
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 12: to find the best free AI for my one and

1447
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 12: a half hours of video musical that I was in

1448
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 12: once funt of Mattress, to clean up the scenery, to

1449
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,560
Speaker 12: set the costumes, the music, the scening etcentera from the

1450
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 12: Musical Wants Fund of Mattress nineteen eighty five with an

1451
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 12: old has an old video camera video tape file is

1452
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 12: the file is vo b.

1453
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Oh vo b. That's a. That's a that's a tricky one. Well,

1454
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: so you're trying, okay, you want to you want to

1455
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,639
Speaker 1: run this through and get this cleaned up. So here's

1456
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: the deal. I am sure there are ways of doing this.

1457
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,959
Speaker 1: At this point, I don't think there is a popular

1458
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: way to do it, nor do I think there's a

1459
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: consumer version of this. So we are just at the

1460
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: point right now where AI is doing a lot of

1461
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: stuff with photos. Obviously Google's Nano Banana and Gemini is

1462
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: like probably the best at that. So I think we're

1463
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: getting there. But I think when it comes to just

1464
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,759
Speaker 1: taking this VOB file, which by the way, are very tricky.

1465
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,839
Speaker 1: Those are typically from DVD, so you'd have to convert

1466
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: that into a file that's you know, a regular you know,

1467
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: like an MP four or something. You could do that

1468
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: with what's that program handbreke, So you can take handbreak

1469
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: that's an easy conversion program, open source, put it in there,

1470
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: get it into a better format. But I don't think

1471
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: at this point, as far as I know, there's not

1472
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: a website I can just recommend and say, oh yeah,

1473
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: take this video and throw it in there and it

1474
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 1: will clean up up everything on that video. Like, there's

1475
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: just not a place that I know that will do that.

1476
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Photos no problem. We can restore photos very easily on Gemini.

1477
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: If you take an old picture and you pop it

1478
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: into Gemini and say restore this photo. It will do it.

1479
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: It's just incredible the results. So I think we're getting there,

1480
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Don with the other stuff, but I don't think we're

1481
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 1: there just yet. Yes, is someone listening and they're saying,

1482
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Rich there's a program that will do this? Like there

1483
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: probably is. I don't think there's a consumer version right

1484
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: now that's that's very good at doing an entire video

1485
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: and ai ing it. I mean, if you look at

1486
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz, they did that at the sphere. It

1487
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: cost them one hundred million bucks to do that. So

1488
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: it's not like you can just take that video and

1489
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 1: just throw it into some program some website that you're

1490
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna find and it's gonna do it for free and

1491
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: clean up every frame. It's just not possible right now.

1492
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: So I would I would think in the next I

1493
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: would say a couple of years, and I'd say a

1494
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 1: couple of years probably gonna be quicker than that. But

1495
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see some of these apps that

1496
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: can probably do that. Thanks for the call, Don appreciate it.

1497
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Richard in Costa Mesa.

1498
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 13: You're on with rich Back in the day, I upgraded

1499
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 13: my Windows seven laptop to Windows ten, have been putting

1500
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 13: all the updates all the way up till today. My

1501
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 13: question is, is there an advantage to downloading and installing

1502
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 13: a current Windows ten file to my laptop verse over

1503
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 13: you know what I have right now, which is an

1504
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 13: old Window ten file.

1505
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what's happening. So basically, if you

1506
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: use the one that's already on your computer, it's probably

1507
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: like are you talking, it's like stored on your computer

1508
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: like an a partition or something. Yes, like it's just

1509
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: already there versus downloading it. So basically the version that's

1510
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: on your computer is as old as that computer. So

1511
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: it's it's you're talking, it's you know, how old is

1512
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: this computer?

1513
01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 13: But I heard that it's eight year years ago that

1514
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 13: Windows ten was available to upgrade from Windows seven.

1515
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's you're talking eight years old. The bottom

1516
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 1: line is that, yes, you can install it from there,

1517
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: you're going to be spending the next you know, a

1518
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: couple hours doing the updates on that program. So it

1519
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,679
Speaker 1: either way will get you to the same ending place,

1520
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 1: which is you know you'll have you'll finally be updated

1521
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: after a while.

1522
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 13: If you'll do no advantage I.

1523
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Don't think there's an advantage. I think it's easier because

1524
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: you don't have to you don't have to worry about

1525
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: downloading it. And how are you downloading it and installing it?

1526
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: Like you know how to do that?

1527
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 5: Well?

1528
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, you go to the Microsoft website, download the i

1529
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 13: ISO file to your laptop, and then install it from there.

1530
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: Uh. Usually it's not that easy. Usually you need to

1531
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: put that that file onto like a flash drive and

1532
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 1: then make it bootable. There's a player. Yeah, yeah, Okay,

1533
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like you know what you're doing. So I

1534
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: would just do that personally, because that way you're getting

1535
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: a fresh, nice clean install and you're getting something that

1536
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: is uh, you know, up to date. So you're gonna

1537
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: have you still have to probably do some updates on it,

1538
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: but I think it's going to be less than you'd

1539
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: have to do if you were too install this from

1540
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,839
Speaker 1: your whatever's residing on your laptop. But Richard, it sounds

1541
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 1: like you know your way around. If you're talking rufus

1542
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 1: and i ISO files, you know what you're doing. I

1543
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: would say do it that way, and I think that's

1544
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: a much cleaner method than using the old program, which

1545
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: is fine, but it's it's going to be you know, dated,

1546
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: and you have to update it immediately. It's going to

1547
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: take a while to do that. So thanks for the call.

1548
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Eighty to eight Rich one oh one. The

1549
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: reviews are in for Google's Pixel ten Pro fold I

1550
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 1: did not test this phone. I saw, I went hands

1551
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: on with it, but I did not test it. So

1552
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: I will rely on the folks that did from all

1553
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: these other websites that I rounded up some of their reviews.

1554
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll be honest, I didn't really want

1555
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 1: to review it because it's not something that people are

1556
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: really demanding. They're just not like a lot of people

1557
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: are not asking me about foldables. This thing is eighteen

1558
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. And also I think that the you know,

1559
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what the end result is of

1560
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: all this, but let me just go through the reviews here.

1561
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: So here's the improvements. You've got a new hinge, you've

1562
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: got dust and water resistance, You've got G two built

1563
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: in on it, which is nice, the magnetic charging, it's

1564
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 1: got a bigger battery, so there are some improvements. The

1565
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 1: reviewers say that it is the most durable foldable yet

1566
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: from Google. So that's nice. The Verge buried it in

1567
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: sand and it did survive. Google did not make this

1568
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: thing any slimmer, still heavy, it's still bulky, and when

1569
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: you compare it to something like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold seven,

1570
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 1: which is just a marvel of engineering, it's like, hold on,

1571
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: there's two Like what's at Google? You just took two

1572
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,639
Speaker 1: phones and you literally slapped them together, whereas Samsung went

1573
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and engineered that Fold seven

1574
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: to be such an amazing device and super thin, you

1575
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: won't even believe it. The cameras are not necessarily pro level.

1576
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: They're good. It's a pixel camera, so it's going to

1577
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: be good. But the reviewers say it's the same sensors

1578
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: as the base Pixel ten, not the higher end Pixel

1579
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: ten Pro series. Gizmoto even called them regressed compared to

1580
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: last year. Battery life and build quality was good, but

1581
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 1: some of the AI features I disagree with that. Some

1582
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: of the AI folks. As folks said that the AI

1583
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: features like magic q are gimmicky. I don't think that's true.

1584
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: Magic Q is this thing where let's say someone texts

1585
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: you and says, he, what's that restaurant? Reading out on

1586
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: Friday night. Google using AI will look through all of

1587
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: your emails and your texts and your whatever stored on

1588
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: your phone, and it will figure out that information and

1589
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 1: present it to you, and then in one click, you

1590
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: can just send it to your friend. So I think

1591
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: that's great. I've liked that on the Pixel ten series.

1592
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: But the ad me feature, which is the ability to

1593
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: take a picture and then add yourself to that picture,

1594
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: is very gimmicky and it's actually very tough to use.

1595
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't even understand why that's still on these phones,

1596
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: because it's just I don't think anyone's using that. Zd

1597
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: net says the Pixel is better for dusty environments, but

1598
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: Samsung wins on basically every other thing performance than this multitasking.

1599
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,480
Speaker 1: So the verdict across the board, it's great for durability

1600
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:04,759
Speaker 1: and battery life, but the z Fold seven is still

1601
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: the foldable to beat. And I could have told you

1602
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: that without reviewing this phone, because I played with it

1603
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: a bit at the Google event, And while it's nice,

1604
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: it's not really an upgrade in a big way from

1605
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,799
Speaker 1: the last Fold from Google. And this is the third generation.

1606
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: They didn't really change too much. I mean, yes, they

1607
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: made the dust resistance. They've added the Chi charging, the

1608
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: wireless charging, and the battery but in the hinges better.

1609
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,919
Speaker 1: But it's really the z Fold seven. They just improved

1610
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: every aspect of that device. But my biggest downside is

1611
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 1: that it does not have the magnetic ring on the back,

1612
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: which is really annoying in this day and age because

1613
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: you're paying so much for that phone. To not get

1614
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 1: that feature as kind of a bummer. So anyway, Pixel

1615
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: fold ten, you know, probably want to skip. I think

1616
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 1: unless you love the pixel lineup and you love a foldable,

1617
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 1: it's probably not the best foldable out there. But I

1618
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 1: do love the Pixel ten. I will tell you that

1619
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: I do love that phone. I think there's still some

1620
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: issues with it. There's still it's not as the performance

1621
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: is not as great as the iPhone, and the software

1622
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: is incredible. It's really a smartphone, but it's still just

1623
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: like not as polished. Like it's crazy to me that

1624
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: like this phone is still just not as polished as

1625
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,600
Speaker 1: the iPhone, even though I think the software on the

1626
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: Pixel is better. But you can do more on the

1627
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,719
Speaker 1: on the iPhone because so many more developers have tapped

1628
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: into what Apple is built, and that's really to me,

1629
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: the defining the differentiating factor between these two devices is

1630
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: that on the Google Phone, it does a lot of things.

1631
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: It's super smart, it's got all the googlely stuff, but

1632
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: that's sort of where it ends, whereas on the iPhone

1633
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, so Apple doesn't have everything you need

1634
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 1: necessarily built in, but there's anything you can think of

1635
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 1: that you want to do. A developer has thought of

1636
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: it and has worked it into Apple's ecosystem. So still

1637
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: both great phones this year, no matter what you go with,

1638
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,799
Speaker 1: whether it's the standard Pixel ten series or the iPhone

1639
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: seventeen series, really really the best phones there. Eighty eight

1640
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: Rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four two

1641
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Coming up this hour, we are

1642
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: going to talk e sports and let's see what else

1643
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: do I have? Oh, I promise we'll talk about the

1644
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: Tesla cheaper model. Tesla's coming up as well. This is

1645
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech. Let's go to Steve in Orange County. Steve,

1646
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

1647
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 7: Oh Hi, Rich, thanks for taking my call.

1648
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely, what's up?

1649
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 7: I have a two part question here. My I have

1650
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:51,680
Speaker 7: a Windows laptop and it's automatically installed co Pilot onto it.

1651
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: You don't want that.

1652
01:20:54,160 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, and my understanding is that it's uh screenshots periodically

1653
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 7: like quite often.

1654
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:10,919
Speaker 1: Whatever you're yes, that's that's a feature called recall.

1655
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 7: Recall. Yeah, no, you don't want so I was running

1656
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 7: under the first of all, why they just put it

1657
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 7: on there without my knowledge? And then second law, how

1658
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 7: do I get rid of it?

1659
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: Okay?

1660
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 6: So with re.

1661
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,759
Speaker 7: Well on everything, I am yeah, yeah, exactly, an email

1662
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:38,679
Speaker 7: and everything, and you have proton mail on this like workless.

1663
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: Well, so recall when it first came out was it

1664
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: was promoted heavily by by Microsoft, and they thought it

1665
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: was going to be great because what it does is

1666
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 1: it takes a screenshot of your system every couple of

1667
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: seconds to remember everything that you've done on your computer. Now,

1668
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: it doesn't take a genius to figure out why that

1669
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 1: may not be the best idea in the world for

1670
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, right, even if you're not necessarily

1671
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: doing anything bad on your computer. Right, let's just say

1672
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: you're checking your email. Well, think about the emails you check,

1673
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: Hey Rich confirming this is your social Hey Rich, here's

1674
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: your bank account number, Hey Rich, here's this. Now that's

1675
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: all fine. What if now all that data stored on

1676
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,560
Speaker 1: my computer, all those screenshots with all that private information.

1677
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: What happens if a hacker gets access to that repository

1678
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: of all that stuff, you know, now they can go

1679
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: through it and see everything. That's just one scenario. Other

1680
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: scenarios what if someone gets access to your computer and

1681
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: they search They just go and search through your recall

1682
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 1: and find all kinds of stuff that you were looking

1683
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: at and find the you know, either private information, embarrassing information, whatever.

1684
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: So that's number two. So as soon as Microsoft launched this,

1685
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: there was no fanfare. It was like it was like

1686
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: a screech of a record. It was like, this is

1687
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: not a good thing, and so they went back to

1688
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: the drawing board. They ended up delaying the installation of Recall.

1689
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: They went back to the drawing board, figured out some

1690
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: more privacy situations, figured out some more privacy protections, and

1691
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: now it's back. And now it is I just checked

1692
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 1: it is. You're right it is pre installed because I

1693
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: just found it on my machine and I'm assuming when

1694
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 1: you first set it up they ask you if you

1695
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:26,719
Speaker 1: want it or not. But you can turn this feature off.

1696
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: So if you go into your settings on Windows Privacy

1697
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: and Security, it's under recall and snapshots, and the main

1698
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: feature you want to look for is take snapshots that

1699
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: has turned on. I honestly did not even realize this

1700
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 1: was turned on on my computer. So I'm actually now

1701
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to turn it off because I want

1702
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: to go through some of these screenshots. I just want

1703
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: to see what's in here that's pretty wild. So okay,

1704
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: I've got one hundred and fifty gigs dedicated to my

1705
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 1: screen shots and ninety days worth of stuff that this

1706
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,560
Speaker 1: is wild to me. So you can go through and

1707
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 1: you can turn off safe snapshots, and you can delete snapshots.

1708
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: You can delete all the snapshots, so you can delete all,

1709
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: or you can delete from They give you some nice

1710
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: options past hour, past twenty four hours, past seven days,

1711
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 1: past thirty days, so if you just need to delete some.

1712
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: And then they've got filter sensitive information snapshots were potentially

1713
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: sensitive infos detected like passwords, credit cards and more will

1714
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: not be saved. You can filter apps, you can filter websites,

1715
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: and so they have thought about a lot of these things,

1716
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: but the reality is for the average person, I know,

1717
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: the idea is that you were surfing a website, you

1718
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: were looking at genes or whatever, and you can't remember

1719
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: what that website was, and so you type in genes,

1720
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: or you type in a color, or you type in

1721
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: whatever description and it would be able to find that

1722
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: it's cool in theory, and I actually think it's kind

1723
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 1: of fun, but I get it. There's a lot of

1724
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: privacy aspects of this. So that's how you turn it

1725
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: off again. Go into your settings Privacy and security and

1726
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: it's under save snap you can turn that off. Why

1727
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 1: did they install it on their on your computer? You know,

1728
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: a tech company just like to do that. There is

1729
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 1: another app if you are this is for my advanced listeners.

1730
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: If you are advanced advanced advanced okay, there's an app

1731
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: called winn Arrow Tweaker w I n A E r O.

1732
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,679
Speaker 1: And this is an app that if you really want

1733
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 1: to decide how your computer works, you can do this

1734
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: with this app. So it is let's see is it freeware?

1735
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: Looks like it's yeah, free app. So you can just

1736
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: tweak all the hidden secret settings that Microsoft doesn't necessarily

1737
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 1: let you adjust easily. So if you want to disable things,

1738
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: you want to disable copilot completely, you want to you know,

1739
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do, this will let you do it.

1740
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 1: It really has like I mean, every feature you can imagine.

1741
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: It's kind of like you're in control of your system again.

1742
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 1: So but again you have to be an advanced user

1743
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 1: for this. But I mean you could do so many things.

1744
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: Look at this. I mean, it's just if you look

1745
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: at the list of things that this lets you do,

1746
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,600
Speaker 1: it's just a laundry list. I'll link this up on

1747
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: my website rich on Tech dot tv. Again the name

1748
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: of the app is win Arrow Tweaker, and also put

1749
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: the instructions on how to disable recall if you so choose.

1750
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 1: A great question, Steve. Coming up next, we're going to

1751
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: talk e sports right here on rich on Tech. So

1752
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 1: many things to talk about. I never get to everything

1753
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: I want to talk about in the show ever, it

1754
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: never happens. I literally have a laundry list of things

1755
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 1: I want to get to and I just can't get

1756
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,600
Speaker 1: to mall. So maybe I need to plan less for

1757
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 1: the show, like I just maybe I need to come

1758
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: in unprepared one day. But I don't think this show

1759
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 1: would be as good if I did that. But that's

1760
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: all debatable. So let's bring on Steve Arnseet. He is

1761
01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 1: the co CEO of Team Liquid esports organization, and we

1762
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: met at this UCLA. They opened up this gaming lounge

1763
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,640
Speaker 1: at UCLA. That's where we met, and I just was

1764
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 1: fascinated by this world of like esports and e athletes

1765
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 1: and they call them e athletes. Maybe, Steve, welcome to

1766
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 1: the show.

1767
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:18,639
Speaker 3: It's great to be here, Rich.

1768
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,719
Speaker 1: So what is Team Liquid? Explain what that's all about.

1769
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 14: So Team Liquid we're an e sports team, just like

1770
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 14: any other kind of sports team, think forty nine Ers

1771
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 14: or Golden State Warriors, but instead of throwing around a

1772
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 14: football or dribbling a basketball, we're playing video games. So

1773
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 14: we have a bunch of gamers that compete underneath the

1774
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 14: team Team Liquid, and they play in games like League

1775
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 14: of Legends, Valerie, StarCraft, and then tons of people watch

1776
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 14: them compete and play against other gamers.

1777
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 3: And that's esports.

1778
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: Wow. Interesting, And how many like your Team Liquid? How

1779
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 1: many other organizations are there out there in the world?

1780
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: And are they part of like a lee like are

1781
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: you part of like one conference like versus another?

1782
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:07,839
Speaker 14: Yeah, So there's probably about three hundred esports teams globally

1783
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 14: around the world, and each team competes in a number

1784
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 14: of different titles or games. So instead of us just

1785
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 14: playing football or just playing soccer. We're actually competing in

1786
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,679
Speaker 14: a lot of different types of games, and we're each

1787
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 14: of those games has their own respective league, like the

1788
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 14: NFL or NBA, and then our business is run by

1789
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 14: our commercialization within each of those respective leagues. And that's

1790
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:39,480
Speaker 14: why we have one hundred and sixty or so players

1791
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 14: that compete underneath Team Liquid all around the world.

1792
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,719
Speaker 1: Now you compared yourself to sort of like these big

1793
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 1: teams out there, you've got athletes. What makes esports similar

1794
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:54,719
Speaker 1: or different from like, you know, the NFL or the NBA, yep.

1795
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,639
Speaker 14: I mean, one thing that is similar is that we

1796
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 14: are all about the fans. We have a global fan base.

1797
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 14: This is something that is a little bit different than

1798
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,600
Speaker 14: other traditional sports is that there are a lot of

1799
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 14: gamers out there and they're all around the world, and

1800
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 14: so that is pretty much the same. Some things that

1801
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:17,719
Speaker 14: are different is that we are more digitally native, which

1802
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 14: means that our demographics skew younger. Someone once told me,

1803
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 14: for every baseball fan that dies, basically too esports fans

1804
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:30,679
Speaker 14: are born. So there's a lot of gamers and there's

1805
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 14: only more gamers going into the future. As you know,

1806
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 14: computers and tablets and stuff are more ubiquitous with day

1807
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 14: to day kind of activities.

1808
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to talk about that in a moment,

1809
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 1: But first, I mean this whole esports industry, Like I remember,

1810
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 1: you know, I would get pitched on it pretty hard

1811
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 1: to like cover these stories and these tournaments and all

1812
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,680
Speaker 1: this stuff. And it was like it was big, and

1813
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,479
Speaker 1: I still think it's big, but it's definitely gone through

1814
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 1: some changes. So was there a bubble that burst or

1815
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:00,759
Speaker 1: something like? What happened?

1816
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 5: Like? What?

1817
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 1: Why do people some people have the reception that esports

1818
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: isn't as big as it might have been five years

1819
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 1: ago or something.

1820
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:07,719
Speaker 5: Yep.

1821
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 14: So esports, just to put it in context, is the

1822
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:16,920
Speaker 14: third most watched sport in the world after cricket and soccer,

1823
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 14: so a lot of people watch it. So what happened

1824
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,719
Speaker 14: in two thousand, Yeah, they're just wild, it's mind blowing.

1825
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 14: But in twenty fourteen there was pretty much like this

1826
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 14: gold rush into esports. And that was when a lot

1827
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 14: of professional sports team owners and investors all came in

1828
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 14: and put money into teams and agencies and players and

1829
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 14: developers and the whole ecosystem. Just like what would happen

1830
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 14: in like the crypto bubble or what may happen in

1831
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 14: the AI bubble, right, a lot of capital gets deployed,

1832
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 14: and those expectations were set pretty high, and if you're

1833
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 14: familiar with the Gartner HiPE cycle, inflated expectations not able

1834
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 14: to deliver in the timeframe that was needed by a

1835
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 14: lot of these investors, and the bubble burst.

1836
01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 3: And so that happened about two.

1837
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 14: Years ago, and I think that caused a little bit

1838
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:10,759
Speaker 14: of this kind of what's happening in esports?

1839
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 1: Is it real?

1840
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,799
Speaker 14: But the thing is is that there's still more people

1841
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:17,759
Speaker 14: watching esports events every year prior.

1842
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 1: So we just beat last year's records.

1843
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:23,720
Speaker 14: And that just shows that the demographics are still on

1844
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:26,479
Speaker 14: our side. That you know, they're just the aging of

1845
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 14: the population, more people on the internet, more people gaming.

1846
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 14: And so what has happened over the last two years

1847
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 14: is it just a lot of consolidation. There's been a

1848
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 14: number of teams that have went bankrupt or ceased to exist,

1849
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:41,680
Speaker 14: you know, either their investors didn't have the right horizon

1850
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 14: on the investment or poor management. But then there's the

1851
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 14: haves and the have nots, and so a lot of

1852
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 14: the organizations that are the top of the field, are

1853
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 14: in pole position, have used this time to consolidate and

1854
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 14: buy other esports teams and basically become bigger. And so

1855
01:31:57,560 --> 01:31:59,760
Speaker 14: you saw that three hundred number that I'm talking I

1856
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 14: spoke about that's been consolidated down to probably one hundred.

1857
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Okay, So we're talking about all these esports

1858
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:10,320
Speaker 1: and like, it's great if these these athletes are you know,

1859
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 1: they're they're good at these games. What games are they playing?

1860
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 1: By the like, what's the most popular esports games?

1861
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:19,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, the two most played esports games. Number one, League

1862
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 14: of Legends. It's made by Riot Games. They actually have

1863
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 14: their headquarters in Santa Monica in Los Angeles, California. And

1864
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 14: the second, which surprises a lot of people, is Mobile

1865
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,440
Speaker 14: Legends Bang Bang, which is a mobile game that's predominantly

1866
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 14: played out of the Philippines and Indonesia.

1867
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, So now parents listening, parents sitting there going

1868
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 1: hold on. You know, you're talking about all these things

1869
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 1: that these kids can do. And I assume these you know,

1870
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 1: these esports personalities make a decent living doing this as well,

1871
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 1: because at the top of their game. But like parents

1872
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:54,920
Speaker 1: are already struggling with screen time, right, they're sitting there,

1873
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to get their kids off Roadblocks or off

1874
01:32:57,080 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 1: Fortnite or off Minecraft, and so so it's like they're like,

1875
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,639
Speaker 1: hold on, what if every parent got their kid off

1876
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 1: these screens, know, would ever make it to this level?

1877
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: So what how do you kind of ride that line? Like,

1878
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 1: how do you know when like your kid is healthy

1879
01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 1: doing stuff on you know, esports or not.

1880
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,639
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, here's my take. You know, I think gaming

1881
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 14: is one of the best vessels for education and retaining information. Like,

1882
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 14: for example, you know, my geography is actually really good,

1883
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 14: and I in part say because I played a lot

1884
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 14: of Where in the world is Carmen San Diego by

1885
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 14: US history?

1886
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 1: You know that's bringing it way back Steve, Yeah.

1887
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 5: No, way back right.

1888
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 3: And the same thing with like Orged Trail.

1889
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 14: There's a lot of parents that probably played that in

1890
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 14: their computer labs at school, right, And that's how you

1891
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 14: learn a lot about US history. There's something about gaming

1892
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 14: that just makes it where you can retain the information

1893
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 14: and learn the information really well. Here's the other side

1894
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 14: is that it's highly addictive, and there's a lot of

1895
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:00,479
Speaker 14: different types of games out there, and most of them

1896
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 14: are not good and they aren't providing the kind of

1897
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 14: development and skill that is possible. So, for example, in

1898
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 14: a lot of these games that are like strategy games,

1899
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 14: you're thinking about critical placement and team based games, you're

1900
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 14: communicating with other gamers, usually with a headphone, so you're

1901
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:23,679
Speaker 14: learning communication, resolving, conflict, leadership ability, and team based games.

1902
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 14: And in a lot of these games, you're also piecing

1903
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 14: things together, and they're very complex, and so it's just

1904
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:34,759
Speaker 14: about finding the right kinds of games, which is really hard,

1905
01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 14: and it's making sure that you do it in moderation.

1906
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 14: And I think those two kind of key factors come

1907
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 14: into play.

1908
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 3: And the last thing that.

1909
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 14: I'd say is that like, if you've got a kid,

1910
01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 14: Let's say your kid was really interested in you.

1911
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Know, football or baseball, you probably.

1912
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 14: Go in the backyard, grab a glove, throw the ball around, right, Why.

1913
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 3: Aren't you doing that with your kid? If they're playing Fortnite, like.

1914
01:34:57,360 --> 01:35:01,720
Speaker 14: Grab a controller, sit down with them and be interested

1915
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:03,600
Speaker 14: and curious, like how do I play this?

1916
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 3: And I know you're thinking, oh my god, I won't

1917
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 3: know what I'm doing. I'm gonna mess it up.

1918
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,640
Speaker 14: That's okay, that's actually better because your kid is going

1919
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:12,559
Speaker 14: to teach you this game and there's a whole learning

1920
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 14: and bonding process that happens with that. So I always

1921
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 14: encourage parents to just sit down and play.

1922
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:22,160
Speaker 1: What is it realistic for your kid to become an

1923
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 1: e sports? Do you call them? You said athletes?

1924
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 5: Right?

1925
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 1: Do you call them? Yeah? You sport? So do you

1926
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:27,960
Speaker 1: Is it realistic for a kid to become that? Is

1927
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 1: that becoming like a pro athlete, you know in the

1928
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: NBA or whatever?

1929
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:31,559
Speaker 5: Like?

1930
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 1: Is it that or is it more realistic? And also

1931
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,720
Speaker 1: there are other kind of like opportunities in this world.

1932
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 1: If your kid is into video games.

1933
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 14: Right, I mean, I think the probability of an average

1934
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:47,719
Speaker 14: kid making it to a pro team is minuscule. It's

1935
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 14: very very small. There's just a lot of gamers out

1936
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:53,639
Speaker 14: there and think it's it's the same thing in.

1937
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:54,759
Speaker 1: Like football or baseball.

1938
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 14: Right, You do these things because you're learning what it's

1939
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,799
Speaker 14: like to be in a team sport, You are being coached,

1940
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 14: you are taking those skills, but you don't really have

1941
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 14: the goal of going pro.

1942
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 3: Now, maybe if your kid is.

1943
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 14: Playing a particular game and reaches like the top twenty

1944
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 14: of the respective in game leader board, of that respective game.

1945
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:19,600
Speaker 14: Your kid may actually be a pro gamer, but for

1946
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 14: most they're not going to make it that far, which

1947
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 14: means that you just use this like any other kind

1948
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:28,679
Speaker 14: of intramural sport that you can learn life skills and

1949
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 14: collaborating with other players. And so what we're finding more

1950
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 14: and more, just like you mentioned at the UCLA campus,

1951
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 14: is at universities, colleges, high schools, even elementary schools are

1952
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:45,959
Speaker 14: now investing into like building out these labs, these gaming

1953
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:50,799
Speaker 14: centers where kids can learn play the right games, develop

1954
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 14: those skills. And I mean I compare that to when

1955
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 14: I was a kid, Like we didn't have access to

1956
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 14: those things. So I think it's just so cool.

1957
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's really. I mean it's it's a different world

1958
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, I you know, I played video games.

1959
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, you know my age

1960
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: have played video games, but this this is like next

1961
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:10,719
Speaker 1: level stuff. Like when I've seen some of these pro gamers,

1962
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 1: especially like the way that they're doing things, I'm just like,

1963
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: how how are you doing that so fast? So what's

1964
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:17,800
Speaker 1: next for you guys? What's next for Team Liquid? We

1965
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:18,840
Speaker 1: got about a minute left.

1966
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, Team Liquid, we are the largest d

1967
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:26,639
Speaker 14: sports team in the world. We've won more prize money

1968
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 14: than another team. We have the most championships of any team.

1969
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:33,599
Speaker 14: We feel the most teams and players. I want Team

1970
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 14: Liquid to be a household name around the world and

1971
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 14: it's our ball to drop or our misclick to happen.

1972
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 14: So I want to continue expanding our brand into important

1973
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 14: regions of the world where we don't have a base

1974
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:53,000
Speaker 14: yet and continue to just field the best players and

1975
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:55,479
Speaker 14: teams across across the globe.

1976
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:58,599
Speaker 3: That that's the goal for to all.

1977
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 1: Right, Team Liquid, it's team liquid dot com. Steve aaron Set,

01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:30,639
Speaker 1: Coming up right here on rich on Tech. Apple Vision

1984
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:35,440
Speaker 1: Pro users are getting something special this basketball season, Lakers

1985
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:40,560
Speaker 1: games in Apple Immersive. I guess Apple's working with Spectrum

1986
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 1: to stream these live games to Spectrum Sportsnet customers, but

1987
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:50,200
Speaker 1: so cool. Maybe I'm assuming you can get them otherwise

1988
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:53,800
Speaker 1: even if you're not a Spectrum customer. But anyway, the

1989
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 1: cool thing is this is something that Apple promoted back

1990
01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:58,439
Speaker 1: in the day when they came out the Vision Pro.

1991
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 1: They showed us like a little clip and it was like,

1992
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sitting courtside at your favorite games, and

1993
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 1: now that's gonna be a reality. It's really cool. The

1994
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:08,880
Speaker 1: problem is nobody has one of these Apple Vision pros

1995
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 1: to be able to use this to try it out.

1996
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll be able to try it out, but

1997
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean it never became like a big time thing.

1998
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:19,519
Speaker 1: So maybe this is the killer application. I mean, if

1999
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:21,080
Speaker 1: you can sit at home and watch a game like

2000
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:25,400
Speaker 1: court side, that's pretty cool, so watch for that. This season,

2001
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: Tesla launched cheaper Model hy and cheaper cheaper model threes,

2002
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:32,799
Speaker 1: but they kind of cut out a lot of stuff.

2003
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 1: So the pricing is under forty thousand for both of these,

2004
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:41,679
Speaker 1: and they've got pretty solid range, but a lot less

2005
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,719
Speaker 1: of the features, So like no autopilot, no AMFM radio,

2006
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 1: no leather seats. I don't think they had leather seats

2007
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 1: to begin with, no rear screen, no panoramic roof. It's

2008
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 1: just a lot of Like you, they cut like a

2009
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: lot of the things that make a Tesla nice. You're

2010
01:39:57,160 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: not getting those, But if you just want an electric car,

2011
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:02,680
Speaker 1: then these new cheaper models might fit the bill. And

2012
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 1: speaking of EV's Chevy Bolt is back. They're bringing back

2013
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 1: this EV next year, reviving the Chevy Bolt because I

2014
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:13,719
Speaker 1: guess customers wanted it. They canceled it back in twenty

2015
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: twenty three. Now it's going to be under thirty two

2016
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five miles of charge, and it's got

2017
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 1: an NACS charging port, which will be nice because then

2018
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 1: you can use Tesla superchargers. It's got Google built in,

2019
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 1: but no car Play. That's a bummer. I will tell

2020
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 1: you as I drive a car. I have my rental

2021
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:34,639
Speaker 1: car head car Play, my regular card does not. I

2022
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: could not believe how much I loved CarPlay. I loved

2023
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:41,000
Speaker 1: having that and Android Auto they're just so great. And

2024
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 1: then the CrOx I'm wearing what a croc? I'm wearing

2025
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: crocs right now. They are Windows XP themed crocs. You

Speaker 1: can now buy these. They were originally just going to

2033
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 1: be a giveaway that but that so many people wanted them.

2034
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 1: Now they're selling them for eighty bucks a pop. So

2035
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:19,280
Speaker 1: if you want Crocs and you want Microsoft, go ahead.

2036
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: All right, Now for the feedback. Karen from California. My

2037
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:25,680
Speaker 1: husband and I enjoy watching your TV segments listening to

2038
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 1: you on the radio. Now your podcast keeps me company

2039
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 1: on my commute. Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope

2040
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:33,080
Speaker 1: your recovery is doing well. In a recent episode, you

2041
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:36,080
Speaker 1: said you preferred Google Docs. I yelled at my car radio.

2042
01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 1: Microsoft Office even the free version has features Google doesn't

2043
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 1: just go to Office dot com to sign in. This

2044
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 1: includes immersive reader for read aloud and translation and dictation

2045
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: that even auto punctuates. All right, Karen, I'll give it

2046
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: another try, but I'm kind of in on the Google stuff,

2047
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: but I like it. It's good to have options Office

2048
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: dot Com sign in for the free web version. Sean

2049
01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,719
Speaker 1: writes in tvo comment, I've got two tvOS with time service.

2050
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:02,839
Speaker 1: I'll have to pry them for my cold dead hands.

2051
01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 1: I still use one every day to record over the

2052
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 1: air TV Sean. I stayed home from work. I could

2053
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,639
Speaker 1: probably tell the story now because it's been many, many years,

2054
01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty years. Probably. I stayed home from work to wait

2055
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:17,880
Speaker 1: for my first TVO to be delivered. I set it up.

2056
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: It took forever because it was over phone lines back then,

2057
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget invited all my friends over for

2058
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 1: my work, had a little party, and then the middle

2059
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:28,680
Speaker 1: of Survivor, I just paused the TV, paused live television.

2060
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 1: Everyone went nuts, like wait what? And I thought it

2061
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: was the coolest thing ever. I was a fan of

2062
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:37,480
Speaker 1: TVO for so many years. Kim writes in from Tennessee,

2063
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:41,719
Speaker 1: she recently ran into a messaging mystery with her Samsung

2064
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:43,960
Speaker 1: S twenty five Vulture. Using Google Messages, one of her

2065
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:47,760
Speaker 1: friends wasn't getting photos. She switched to MMS SMS and

2066
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: then couldn't get RCS back for that contact. Well, it

2067
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 1: turns out the issue was not her phone. After some

2068
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,479
Speaker 1: detective work, she discovered her friends was using Samsung Messages,

2069
01:42:56,520 --> 01:43:01,639
Speaker 1: which does not support RCS. Ah good to figure that out. So, yeah,

2070
01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 1: if your friend's not getting your rcs. You're doing that stuff.

2071
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:09,519
Speaker 1: Check to see if they're using Google messages. Let's see, John,

2072
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 1: I should have listened to you, Rich. I bought an

2073
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: iPad eleven for three nineteen. Just days later it dropped

2074
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 1: at two seventy nine. I called Amazon. They said the

2075
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: only way to get the lower price was to return

2076
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 1: it and reorder. After hours setting up and charging it

2077
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 1: and decided it was not worth the hassle. Still cheaper

2078
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:25,120
Speaker 1: than the Apple Store. But next time I'll follow your

2079
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,280
Speaker 1: advice and wait for those Prime Day deals to kick in.

2080
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:31,800
Speaker 1: Joey says, you made my week with the shortcut to

2081
01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:34,160
