I hope you're having 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: a fantastic day. I am just got back from Chicago 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: for the Chicago Auto Show. 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: Chicago what a great city. 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: Even though I did not leave the complex I was in, 32 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: I was only there for like one what was it, 33 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: forty eight hours? But Chicago is like a real I 34 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: don't know, like there's just some buzz in that city. 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: Like people just really take life seriously. In Chicago. It 36 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: was not cold when I went, which everyone was talking about. 37 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: Although it did thunder and lightning, it was not that 38 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: windy and it was great. I went to the auto show, 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: which is one of the most traditional things you can 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: do here in America, and it was fun. And that 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: show is the largest in North America. It's been going 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: on for over one hundred years. They brought me out 43 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: there to experience it, and I'm glad I went. Now, 44 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: all the journalists there were talking about how the auto 45 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: show is dead, and I will tell you it is 46 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: not dead. In fact, if you have one in your city, 47 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: go and take your kids, if you have kids, because 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: it really brought back some strong memories growing up in 49 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: the New York City area and going to the Jacob 50 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: Javits Center with my dad and just sitting in all 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: those cars and dreaming and having a great time and 52 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: seeing what these car companies are doing. It was also 53 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: great to witness the revolution that's happening in the auto industry, 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: which is of course electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles. And I 55 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: love going to things like this because it gives me perspective. 56 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: That is why I take the time away from my 57 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: family to go to these events, to be there in 58 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: person and to actually be on the ground, because you 59 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: gain perspective, and that's what I got here in Los Angeles. 60 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: Evs are everywhere you go. 61 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: To Chicago, people are like, oh no, I don't want 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: an EV why cold weather? Did you see the news 63 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: about the teslas that were frozen to the ground in 64 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: Chicago because there's only one supercharger station or two and 65 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: people are in line and the line was so long 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: their cars just seized up and they had like tow 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: them out of there. So again, hearing those stories from 68 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: people on the ground in Chicago gives me perspective. Hot 69 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: weather changes the battery charging infrastructure. We take it for 70 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: granted here, but in other parts of the nation it's just. 71 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: Not the same. And not only that, but just sitting 72 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: in a car. 73 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: You can watch all the YouTube videos in the world 74 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: and think you know a car, but when you sit 75 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: in that car for exactly a minute, you understand that 76 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: car instantly. That's what happened with me with a cyber truck, 77 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: which was there. With the new Tesla that was revamped. 78 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: Let's see, there was, I mean just so many cars 79 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: I got to sit in, I got to test drive. 80 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: It was great. One thing I saw that. 81 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: Was pretty cool at the show is this thing called 82 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: Emergency Safety Solutions. 83 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 2: This is a company that is trying to. 84 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Basically put a new protocol into cars when they're disabled, 85 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: when there's a crash or they're disabled, the back lights 86 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: blink really fast, like a certain cadence, and that is 87 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: to help eliminate disabled vehicle crashes. And this happens a 88 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: lot in Los Angeles. Cars are on the side of 89 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: the road, people don't notice them, they slam right into them. 90 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: People are on their phone, they're texting, they're not looking up, which, 91 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: by the way, you should not be doing in general, 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: but it happens. And so this system is basically something 93 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: that could be built into cars and the lights flash 94 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: at a certain cadence and it helps drivers behind those 95 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: cars understand that this car is stopped. And it takes 96 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. 97 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 3: Too. 98 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: It's two sided, so you have the lights that flash 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: a certain cadence when the car is disabled, but you 100 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: also have these digital alerts that are sent to your 101 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: dashboard about a car up ahead that may be disabled, 102 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: kind of similar to what you might experience with ways 103 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: that tells you that there's a cop up ahead or 104 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: a disabled vehicle. But this is kind of like across 105 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: all cars right now. It's in Tesla's, not every tesla 106 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: but it's in a bunch of Tesla's. They're working with Volkswagen, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, 107 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: and Ram. Of course that's all one company except for Volkswagen, 108 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: so they're trying to get there. 109 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. 110 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: It was an interesting concept and I think it would help, 111 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: but again, it probably costs more for the manufacturers. They 112 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: need to do a concerted effort to get this all working. 113 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: But I'll have more from the auto show in just 114 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. Here on the show. Okay, officially, I 115 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: am one of those people. I upgraded my TV for 116 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yes, I am now one of those 117 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: people that said let's do this, and so I will 118 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: tell you it was the easiest thing I've ever done 119 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: in my life. So Number one, I ordered so we 120 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: had an expert on a couple of weeks ago, so 121 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: I knew all the TVs that I wanted. I ended 122 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: up ordering a lesser TV than I wanted. I should 123 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: have gone with a better one, but I didn't. But 124 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, I like to save money, so I went 125 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: with the cheaper TV. I ordered it on the best 126 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Buy app from my phone and it went through. It 127 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: took me two tries because my credit card actually said 128 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: you don't usually buy stuff this expensive, so we're going 129 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: to decline that charge, and so I had to do 130 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: it twice. 131 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: The second time it went through. 132 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: Anyway, ordered it on the best Buy app was ready 133 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: for pick up within it must have been an hour, 134 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: not even I got it delivered to my house via 135 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: the service called lug where it's kind of like an 136 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Uber but for anything. They will pick up furniture. They 137 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: go to the place with a van, the people pick 138 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: it up and they bring it to your house. That 139 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: happened within another hour. So I had this thing in 140 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: my house within two hours after placing order. I couldn't 141 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: believe it. Then I texted the guy who hung my 142 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: TVs the last time. This is probably ten years ago. 143 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: I said, Hey, you still hanging TVs? Can you hang 144 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: one more in my house? And he said sure, and 145 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: he pretended he remembered me. Of course you didn't, but 146 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: he gave me a great deal. Came to the house 147 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: and boom, the TV was mounted. So I will tell 148 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: you my advice on the TV. Number one, The TV 149 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: looks great. Bigger screens definitely highlight the streaming quality of 150 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: the content that you are watching. So immediately we put 151 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: on a basketball game and we're like, eh, this doesn't 152 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: look very good. I did some research. It turns out 153 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: that that service I was using streams in like seven twenty. 154 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: The bigger the TV screen, the more resolution you need. 155 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: So now I'm like, Okay, Now I understand why four 156 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: K is a thing. I understand why people like ten 157 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: eighty versus seven twenty, and of course eight K is 158 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: still a ways off. There are TVs that can handle it, 159 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: but there's really no content for that maybe maybe on 160 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: YouTube you might find something, but really not. 161 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: My advice also, go o LED. I went with Mini LED. 162 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: It is very apparent when I look at my OLED 163 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: screen on my phone versus the Mini LED screen on TV, 164 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: very very different. I watched a movie on the Samsung 165 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Galaxy S twenty four yesterday on the plane. 166 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: It's called Lift. It's on Netflix. It was very good. 167 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: By the way, I could not. 168 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Believe how good that movie looked on a smartphone screen. 169 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking, it was just incredible. I actually 170 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: brought up the movie to my wife this morning. I said, 171 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: you got to watch this. Just check out this scene 172 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: and see how crisp the colors are and just the 173 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: contrast everything. So go OLED if you can. It's a 174 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: little bit more expensive. I wish I did, but I 175 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: can always bring this TV to a different room. The 176 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: other thing I noticed, and this is my takeaway for 177 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: you, your TV is spying on you. If you have a 178 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: smart TV, it is spying on everything you are doing, 179 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: everything you are watching. It is making a log of 180 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: what you are watching, the commercials you see, the stuff 181 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: you're streaming, the channels, you're watching everything, no matter what 182 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: input it is on it is doing something called automatic 183 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: content recognition ACR. This is technology that recognizes the content 184 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: on your TV screen. They use this data, they categorize it, 185 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and then they sell it so they know exactly when 186 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: you buy a pack of Dorito's at the store in 187 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: that new flavor. They can go back and look at 188 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: the data from your TV and see if you saw 189 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: a commercial and tell the advertiser, yeah, that worked. And 190 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: if you think this isn't happening, it absolutely is. So 191 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: here's my advice to you. Google your TV brand along 192 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: with turn ACR off, and you will find the directions 193 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: on how to turn off automatic content recognition on your TV. 194 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: There is no reason why you already paid for the TV. 195 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: You're not getting any benefit out of this feature. Your 196 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: TV manufacturer is making extra money on top of the 197 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: money you already paid them for your TV. So again, 198 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: google your TV brand and along with turn ACR off 199 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: automatic content recognition. Or you can just go in your 200 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: settings if you're a little if you're a little techy, 201 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: just go through the settings. You will find it buried 202 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: under privacy or some sort of thing. That doesn't sound 203 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: like it is a negative. It sounds like it's a positive. 204 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: It says we will use this information to make your 205 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: experience better. No they won't. They are just using it 206 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: to make money off of you. All right, Coming up, 207 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the Super Bowl. I know 208 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: it's this weekend.

And coming up, we're going 212 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: to talk about Google's AI. It has a new name 213 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: and a new price tag.

Everyone's 222 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 4: all about Wi Fi and having that in the house 223 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 4: making it really easy to connect and everything. But my 224 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 4: problem is is our WiFi is very spotty and it's 225 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 4: not always reliant, and I want to look for hard 226 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: wirings like Ethernet, cables through the house to like our 227 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: smart TVs and other like our computers and laptops. Is 228 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: there certain kind of company I would look forward specifically 229 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: to do that, because I wouldn't be able to technically 230 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 4: drill holes through the wall to fish these cables through 231 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 4: to be able to install the outlets myself. 232 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: No, no, no, you would. 233 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: You would just go on Yelp, and I think an 234 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: electrician can handle this. You can type electrician. You can 235 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: type like the same person that like hung my TV 236 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: I just talked about. They will do stuff like that, 237 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: and so if you type in like a TV mounting, 238 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: they will. I mean you could just go on Yelp 239 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: and literally just type in there's like security network, cabling, 240 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: network installation. I mean, there's so many people that will 241 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: do this. 242 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: Kind of stuff. 243 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you need it, to be honest, Like, 244 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: I am running a lot of tech in my house 245 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: and I don't have anything that is wired up. So 246 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: I think what I would recommend before you try this 247 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: is to get a mesh network. And a mesh network 248 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: is kind of like the new thing in the tech 249 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: world that's been around for you know, many years now, 250 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: but it uses several access points around your house to 251 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: create a network. And the big companies that make it Eero, 252 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: you've got ORB. If you want something cheaper, there's a 253 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: company called Villo Vilo. But if you go to the store, 254 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: you can check these things out. And it's basically a 255 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: three pack. So you start with a three pack. You 256 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: put one by your modem where your internet comes into 257 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: your house, and then you kind of put the rest 258 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: around your house in two different other places, depending on 259 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: how big your house is. 260 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: You know, one or two or three may cover it. 261 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: But if you still want to do this, I mean, 262 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: there's so many people on. 263 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: Yelp that will do this. 264 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: So if you just put in even the ethernet Ethernet installation, 265 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: you can type that in. And what I would do 266 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: for the guidance on who to pick is to kind 267 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: of talk to. I would call. So Yelp is going 268 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: to try to sort by recommended. You can change that 269 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: sort to either most reviewed or highest rated, whatever you want. 270 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: But I would call the first couple of people, so 271 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: maybe like the first three people and just get a 272 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: feel for them and just talk to them. And if 273 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: they're really quick on the phone, they don't really care 274 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: to talk to you, then you know, I think you 275 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: go with the next person and see what they do. 276 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: That's how I got the TV installer that I like. 277 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: That is, you know, I called again after ten years 278 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: because he was really great on the phone. He explain 279 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: things to me, Hey, how does this process work? 280 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: What do you need? 281 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: You know? 282 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: Do you do this? Do you do that? 283 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: And instead of some people, you get on the phone 284 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: with YELP and they literally are trying to get you 285 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: off the phone as soon as possible, or you can't 286 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: even get person on the phone. So if you can't 287 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: get a hold of them when you're trying to hire them, 288 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: imagine what it's going to be like when you're done 289 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: with the job and you've already paid them. You're never 290 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: going to hear from them again. So that would be 291 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: my advice if you need to go the wired route. Also, 292 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: it depends on the speed that you have. I mean, 293 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: if you're talking a standard Internet speed from you know, 294 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Spectrum or something that's two three hundred megabits per second. 295 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: I mean, most people are just using why find nowadays, 296 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: But if you feel the need that you want to 297 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: wire everything up just to make sure, then that's what 298 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: I would do. Find someone on YELP and you'll you'll 299 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: find someone that's that's going to do that. It's going 300 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: to cost a lot though, that's not going to be 301 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: cheap to do. I think it'd be cheaper to buy 302 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: the router first, you know, the Mesh network, and then 303 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: go with you know, if that doesn't work, you can 304 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: return that and then go with someone to install it. 305 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: But thanks Ange Riverside, appreciate the call today. Speaking of 306 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: wi fi, if you are watching the super Bowl, you 307 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: are gonna want to make sure that your WiFi is 308 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: really good because many of us are streaming nowadays. So 309 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: number one, how to watch the super Bowl forty nine 310 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: Ers versus Chiefs. I would do the math, but I 311 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: don't know it is this super Bowl fifty eight. It 312 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: looks like this is gonna be on CBS. You can 313 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: watch it, of course, over the air on the CBS 314 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: network that's local to where you live. Paramount plus is 315 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: also going to be streaming it. 316 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: Now. I will tell you if you have Paramount Plus. 317 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: I've had many issues with them, like just watching a 318 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: movie on Paramount Plus is kind of tough sometimes. So 319 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: for this, this is probably their biggest event they've ever done. 320 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: I would have a backup just in case. Kickoff is 321 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: at six thirty pm Eastern. They're also going to be 322 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: showing it on Nickelodeon, but that's gonna be like kind 323 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: of a kids version of the broadcast. I think there's 324 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: gonna be slime involved. So the main way CBS, nickelode in, 325 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: Paramount plus. The other thing is if you want four K, 326 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: there's a great article I'll link up from the TV 327 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: answer Man about the about the Super Bowl in four K, 328 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: But basically it will be in four K this year, 329 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: but it's going to be an upscaled feed, so it's 330 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: not necessarily going to be true four K, even though 331 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: they are using four K cameras. But I don't know 332 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: what the hesitation is with this whole four K revolution 333 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: on streaming, but it's it's very, very slow. And the 334 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: other thing is place your Wi Fi router, take it 335 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: off the ground, and get things away from it so 336 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: this signal can get. 337 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: Through your entire house. That's my advice. 338 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to talk about the Chicago 339 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: Auto Show, what I saw, what was cool, and some 340 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: of the key takeaways. You are listening to rich on Tech. 341 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging 342 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at Triple eight Rich one one. 343 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one 344 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: zero one. I'm on location in Chicago, site of the 345 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: Chicago Auto Show. This is North America's largest auto show. 346 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: It's been going on for like over one hundred years. 347 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: The Chicago Auto Show, along with Nissan was kind enough 348 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: to bring me here to experience it, which is my 349 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: first time. I talked to several journalists on the floor, 350 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: including Emily dry Belbis. She is the EV reporter for 351 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: PCMag dot com. She actually lives in Chicago and gave 352 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: me some history of the show. 353 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 5: So Chicago Auto Show has kind of a family atmosphere. 354 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 5: People in the city talk about going here when they 355 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 5: grew up and now they're coming back with their kids. 356 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 5: It'll be flooded with people. There'll be an hour to 357 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 5: get on certain cars and see different cars with people everywhere. 358 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 5: So it's a really popular community event. This is kind 359 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 5: of like an amazing, low pressure dealer where you can 360 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 5: see all of the latest models from all of the 361 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 5: best brands, and they're not gonna sell you on them. 362 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 5: You can look in them and see what the dash 363 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 5: is like. And compare them really easily. I mean, you 364 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 5: can walk right next to each other all the cars 365 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 5: you want to see instead of having to drive to dealerships. 366 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 5: So I think there's a lot of uses. That's the 367 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 5: most practical one. It's also just fun, like you can 368 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 5: drive a car up a huge mountain and down and 369 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 5: kids love that, and there's lots of things you could 370 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 5: do here. 371 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: Now. 372 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: I live in California, where evs are everywhere, but it 373 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: was interesting to get the different perspective of EV drivers 374 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: in Chicago, a place where the cold definitely takes a 375 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: toll on the battery, so people here have sort of 376 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: a different outlook on buying an EV. 377 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 5: So I live in Chicago, and I'm an EV journalist, 378 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 5: so I test drive evs all the time. But it's 379 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 5: interesting I wouldn't buy one living in the city as 380 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 5: my only vehicle because the range really does plummet in 381 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 5: the cold. So I test drove a Tesla a couple 382 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 5: of years ago in the winter, and it advertises two 383 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 5: hundred and seventy miles of range in the cold. The 384 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 5: dash screens that I was getting one to eighty. So 385 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 5: if you're paying a premium for that product and you're 386 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 5: not getting the value out of it. It really is 387 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 5: kind of hard for me to rationalize buying it. But 388 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 5: in Chicago, on my street, there are EV's everywhere, all 389 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 5: the latest models. Riviana is located nearby. There are factors 390 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 5: two hours from here, so tons of evs. If you 391 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 5: have a single family home, no worries. But if you're 392 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 5: like me in an apartment, it's probably not a great idea. 393 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 5: What the EV revolution exposes is how many different types 394 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 5: of driving there is, I mean different types of climates 395 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 5: and use cases, road trip in the city and the highway. 396 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 5: So it's a very complex problem. It's very hard to 397 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 5: speak to what everybody wants. 398 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: Next up, I talked to Sam abullas Samid. He is 399 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: a automotive analyst at guide House Insights, and a lot 400 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: of journalists on site. We're talking about the death of 401 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: the auto show, how there's no major announcements at these events, 402 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: But Sam takes kind of a different approach. These auto 403 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: shows are really for consumers now well. 404 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 6: One of the big trends with auto shows in general 405 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 6: over the past decade is they've kind of followed the 406 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 6: same trend as the technology industry, where most big companies 407 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 6: have moved away from doing big press announcements at the 408 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 6: auto shows and doing standalone announcements where they. 409 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: Can get the entire news cycle. 410 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 6: It's really expensive to do a press announcement at an 411 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 6: auto show, so we've got fewer of those kinds of announcements, 412 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 6: going back to more the traditional auto shows. As a 413 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,479 Speaker 6: consumer event, it's a great place for people that are 414 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 6: interested in buying a vehicle to come out and check 415 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 6: out a whole bunch of different brands. Right across the 416 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 6: aisle from US here as the Ford booth where they're 417 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 6: doing test drives, so you can actually come out and 418 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 6: test drive some of the vehicles. You can check out 419 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 6: different brands side by side, you know, as they get 420 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 6: into the traditional spring buying season. You know, it's a good, 421 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 6: good opportunity for consumers to see what's in the market. 422 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: And even though EV's are front and center at the show, 423 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: there are still plenty of hybrids in the conversation and 424 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: even gas vehicles, so you know, we still. 425 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 2: Got a lot of electrification. 426 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 6: Right behind me here, it's the Subaru Saltera, which is 427 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 6: their first EV that launched last year, and we're still 428 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 6: seeing a lot of interesting introductions of new EVS. VW 429 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 6: is showing they for the first time at an auto show, 430 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 6: the three row version of the I D Buzz electric 431 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 6: minivan that's coming here later this year to North America. 432 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 6: It's a longer version than the version that they sell 433 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 6: in Europe right now, the v W I D seven 434 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 6: sedan that's coming this summer. There's there's more more electrics, 435 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 6: but also there's also a lot a lot of conversation 436 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 6: around hybrids. You know, with EV's EV adoption not really 437 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 6: hitting that hockey stick. It's still growing, but it hasn't 438 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 6: hit that hockey stick part of the curve yet, and 439 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 6: so there's and affordability is still a challenge. So there's 440 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 6: a lot more interest in hybrids. GM last week an now, 441 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 6: so they're going to bring plug in hybrids back into 442 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 6: their lineup in the next few years. Volkswagen Group of 443 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 6: President Pablo de ce just at a at a press 444 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 6: event just now, talked about bringing hybrids back to the 445 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 6: Volkswagen lineup in the coming year. So we will continue 446 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 6: to see more more growth of electrification in all its forms, hybrid, 447 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 6: plug in hybrid and battery electric. We've got two hundred 448 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 6: and ninety million registered vehicles in the United States, barely 449 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 6: two million of those in total. Less than two million 450 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 6: of those in total right now are electric. So there's 451 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 6: gonna be internal combustion cars, gas and even diesel powered 452 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 6: vehicles on the road for decades to come, and even 453 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 6: new vehicles. We will still have vehicles that are powered 454 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 6: by liquid fuels well into the twenty thirties. You may 455 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 6: not be able to buy a new one in California 456 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 6: in twenty thirty six, but there'll still be around. 457 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: One mini surprise at the show, Tesla was on the 458 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: show floor. They typically don't attend events like this. They 459 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: had the refreshed Model three on display. The main thing 460 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: I could tell that was different right off the bat 461 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: was the addition of a display in the back seat. 462 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: But the thing that everyone was looking at was the Cyberchuck, 463 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: And I will say I was actually much more impressed 464 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: with it than I imagined I would be. But this might 465 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: be a turning point for Tesla. 466 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 6: But Tesla traditionally, you know, at least for the past decade, 467 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 6: has not really participated in auto shows. The fact that 468 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 6: they're here again, I think fits in with what we've 469 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 6: seen from Tesla over the past year. With some of 470 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 6: the demand. You know, where Elon Musk used to talk 471 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 6: about infinite demand for Tesla vehicles, Well it's not so 472 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 6: infinite anymore. You know, they've had to cut prices in 473 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 6: the past year by more than twenty percent on most 474 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 6: of the models. And the fact that they're here at 475 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 6: the auto show wanting to have a presence where consumers 476 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 6: are going to be Lucid as well. You know, Lucid 477 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 6: has struggled to really gain traction and grow their sales, 478 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 6: and you know, they're they're still very much in the 479 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 6: premium end of the market. But the fact that they're 480 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 6: here in a market like Chicago where you know, there's 481 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 6: quite a few premium buyers the I think that shows 482 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 6: that they you know, they're having to market a little 483 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 6: more aggressively than they have. 484 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 2: In the past. 485 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Sam is kind of the guy when it comes to 486 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: cars when you're at these parties that surround the events, 487 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: when everyone gets together, he's the guy that everyone wants 488 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: to talk to. 489 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 2: So what is he like at this year's show. 490 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 6: I'm a big fan of the the EV's from Hyundai 491 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 6: at Kia, so cars like the Ionic five and Ionic 492 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 6: six from Hyundai. Uh the Kia EV six and EV 493 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 6: nine are great. You know, the some of the hybrids 494 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 6: from Toyota are really fantastic vehicles. The Broncos that are 495 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 6: driving around this course here, you know, the Mustang dark 496 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 6: Horse is always a favorite for me. You know, I've 497 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 6: been a Mustang fan since I was a little kid. 498 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 6: Uh So, lots of lots of fun stuff to see 499 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 6: here if you have any interest in vehicles at all. 500 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: Finally, for an opinion from the TikTok generation, I consulted 501 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 1: with Drake Moscow. He does content for TikTok surrounding cars. 502 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: It was also his first time at the Chicago Auto Show. 503 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 7: It's awesome. 504 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 8: It's cool to see all these cars back to back 505 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 8: and to see kind of a company's whole lineup all 506 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 8: right next to each other. And you can see the 507 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 8: product cycles, the newer vehicles, how they are updated and 508 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 8: a little differentiated from the older vehicle. And I really 509 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 8: like seeing all. 510 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 7: Of that stuff. 511 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 8: So there's a large spectrum of companies here, and it's 512 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 8: cool to see how every brand is taking. 513 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 7: A different approach. 514 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 8: Like I was looking at the new Hyundai Santa Fe 515 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 8: hybrid and there's no hybrid badging on it. 516 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 7: It looks just like a normal gas car. 517 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 8: The only way you can really tell is like the 518 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 8: exhausts are a little different, but they're not branding it 519 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 8: as a hybrid, which I think is super interesting. All 520 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 8: auto shows nowadays have these awesome like experiential elements, which 521 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 8: is really cool and allows people to like get into 522 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 8: cars and feel what they're like while driving, not just static, 523 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 8: which I think is really important.

I hope they realize that 549 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: and change it up A couple of perspectives there. 550 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: I like that. Let's go to Dan in Carpenteria. Dan, 551 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 2: you're on with Rich. 552 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Rich, thank you very much for taking 553 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 9: my call. 554 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: Good morning, Yeah, welcome, Yeah, gonna help. 555 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 9: So here's a little background. Unfortunately, my wife has a 556 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 9: neuro degenitive disease called ALS. 557 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: Okay, sorry to hear that. 558 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, really tough stuff. But because of that, she's not 559 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 9: able to use her hands. So in the morning, I 560 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 9: get her up, and I get her ready and I 561 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 9: put her in her chair and then she pretty much 562 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 9: watches TV all day. Question I have for you, is 563 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 9: there a programmable remote TV remote control that would say, 564 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 9: like between eight and nine in the morning, she'd be 565 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 9: watching news on channel seven oh seven, and then at 566 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 9: nine o'clock would automatically click over between nine and ten 567 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 9: to channel seven eleven, so she'd watch maybe the Talk 568 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 9: or something, and then at between you know, eleven and twelve, 569 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 9: it would change channels again. But I could just program 570 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 9: for the course of the day, so that The problem 571 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 9: I'm having now is is that if I don't get 572 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 9: in there in time, I know you're a little frustrated 573 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 9: if she's watching her program she doesn't want to. 574 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, so is she able to change the like press 575 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: the button on the remote or no? 576 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 9: No? 577 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 1: Okay, So so it would be a remote that like 578 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: kind of you set it and forget it kind of thing. 579 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 2: What about voice? Can she use voice? 580 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 9: Unfortunately? Yes and no. Unfortunately. She has a stage also, 581 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 9: which means she a lot of times she uses word substitution. 582 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 9: She may say cat whenever she really needs to say dogs. 583 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 9: So I don't see that as an option. 584 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 2: Oh Dan, I'm sorry to hear this. Wow. 585 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's really tough stuff. 586 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, so I'm thinking for a tech solution. 587 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: It reminds me of the old days when you used 588 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: to like program the VCR and it would change to 589 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: the channel and like record the show. But I think 590 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: we're beyond that. I think that the maybe the best 591 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: thing you might be able to do. There's two things 592 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm thinking. Number One, some of these like cable boxes 593 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: have like a way like a timer that will change 594 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: the channel, but I'm not really sure like if that's 595 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: a thing anymore, Like if they have a DVR built in, 596 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: that may be one way to do it, where you 597 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: program the DVR to change to the channel that you 598 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: want to record, but it's actually changing to that channel 599 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: just to watch it too. Do you have traditional cable 600 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: TV or do you have like streaming. 601 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 9: I have a just I have a Spectrum cable right now. 602 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 9: It ties into a Sony So they have their cable box. 603 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: And does that cable box have the DVR built in? 604 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 9: You know, that's something I don't know how to check 605 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 9: that out. 606 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: Okay, because that's one way is if it's a So 607 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: what I would do is, you know, usually these cable 608 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: boxes have like a couple of tuners in them so 609 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: that they can record a couple of things at once. 610 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: But you can almost like hack it where you set 611 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: all of the timers to record the same channel at 612 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: the you know, like if you want this channel at 613 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: nine set both timers to record that channel at nine am, 614 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: so it's forced to change to that channel on the screen. 615 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: So that's one way that you might be able to 616 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: do it, and that doesn't really take any additional equipment 617 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: than what you already have. It's been a while since 618 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: I used one of those boxes, so I don't know 619 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: if that's how they work anymore, but I think that's well, 620 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: that's the way they used to work, and so that 621 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: may be one way to do it. 622 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: That's pretty simple. 623 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: When I used to have TVO, it would it would 624 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: change the channel automatically, and if you max out the tuners, 625 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: it would say, sorry, you can't change the channel anymore. 626 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: Like we're recording on two channels, and you got to 627 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: stick with one of these. You got to watch one 628 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: thing or the other. So that's one way. The other 629 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: thing you could do, and this takes a little bit 630 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: more work, but you could use like a Google Home 631 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: or an Alexa speaker and you can program routines into those. Now, 632 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: this is not going to be full proof in my experience. 633 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: Half the time routines work. Half the time they don't work, 634 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: But that could be another way of doing it. And 635 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm actually I found a thread on Reddit where people 636 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: have come up with routines where it will turn on 637 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: the TV, it will set the volume to a certain percentage, 638 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: and then it will play the channel that it wants 639 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: to play on that TV. And so now that's a 640 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: little complicated because you need everything to work with Google 641 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: or Alexa, but you can definitely do that. It would 642 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: take a little bit of know how though, and it, 643 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: like I said, it wouldn't always work. Like I have 644 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: a couple things in my house that are routines. Most 645 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: of the time they work, sometimes they don't. But that 646 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: is something you can definitely and it's not that expensive 647 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: to do. 648 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: You can get. 649 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: The best box that I would recommend is probably the 650 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: Fire TV Cube because it has an IR blaster in 651 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: it and so you can actually hook that up to 652 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: work with your cable box. And it's actually pretty slick 653 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: because your cable box plugs into it. And so what 654 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: that means is that everything on the fire TV overlays 655 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: on top of your cable box, so your wife actually 656 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't really notice a huge difference because everything would kind 657 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: of look the same. So those are kind of fire 658 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: TV yeah, fire TV cube and that's and it's also 659 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: going to give you voice. So basically what you're doing 660 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: is instead of doing instead of saying a voice command 661 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: to it, you're just programming a voice command as a routine. 662 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: So you're saying, Hey, at two o'clock, tune into this channel. 663 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: So instead of you saying that verbally, you would just 664 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: write that. You would type that in as a routine 665 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: and it would do it would fire off that routine 666 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: at two pm every day, and then you know, you 667 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: can layer on the top, you know, turn on the TV, 668 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: turn off the TV. But again, not guaranteed to work exactly, 669 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: but it's I think that's going to be a pretty 670 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: good solution. But try the DVR setting first, see if 671 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: that works, Like, just try to set the DVR to 672 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: change to the channel at those times. And the best 673 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: part about this show is that now that we talked 674 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: about this on the air, I will probably get some 675 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: emails from folks saying, Rich, you know, what about this solution? 676 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: What about that solution? So there are different ways of 677 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: doing this. Those are the couple that I can think 678 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: of off the top of my head. But maybe we'll 679 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: get some other you know, other suggestions. 680 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 9: As well, be posted on your website. 681 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, or I'll mention. 682 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: Them on the show in the future, and maybe, you know, 683 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: if we get some by next week I'll mention them 684 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: in the feedback segment at the end of the show. 685 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 9: Sounds great, Thank you so much, all right. 686 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: Dan, appreciate the call up there in a carpenteria today. 687 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven 688 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Let's see a 689 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: couple questions we got on email. Louise says, you have 690 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: any suggestions for outdoor TV. We live in Colorado, it 691 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: gets cold. The two big brands Louise for outdoor TVs 692 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: are Sunbright or the Samsung Terrace. Sunbright sort of owned 693 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: the market here for many years. That's in the premium TVs. 694 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: Samsung Terras is the other brand that sort of is 695 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: coming up. 696 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: Uh. 697 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: And these TVs, you know, they're they're brighter than your 698 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: standard TV because you're outside. There's less glare on the 699 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: screen because you're outside. And also their weather proof so 700 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: that they can deal with the rain, they can deal 701 00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: with the cold, they can deal with the heat. 702 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 2: Now. I will tell you. 703 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: When I was getting my TV installed by the installer, 704 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: he said, what are you going to do with this 705 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: whole TV? I said, I don't know, probably just recycling. 706 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: He said, why don't you put it outside? I said, outside? 707 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: This is a regular TV. And even though we live 708 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: in California where people basically set up things that shouldn't 709 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: be set up outside outside all the time, because it 710 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't rain much except in the last 711 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I was like, isn't that going to 712 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: short circuit? Isn't that going to be a problem. He said, Nah, 713 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 1: just get a cover off Amazon. 714 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 2: It's cheap. 715 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: I'll mount it out there, and you know, you put 716 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: the cover on when it's raining, it'll be fine. I 717 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: can't say I recommend that because I haven't tried it personally, 718 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: but I'm probably going to try it. 719 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 2: As long as you keep things dry, maybe it's okay. 720 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: But if you want a solution that's truly going to work, 721 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: that is meant to be the way it is engineered, 722 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: I would go with an outdoor TV. Also, if you 723 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: look up on Amazon, there are much cheaper outdoor TVs 724 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: than the Sunbrights of the World or the Samsung's. 725 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 2: But those are two places to start quickly before. Oh, 726 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 2: I don't guess we're going a break never mind? 727 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: Uh eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight 728 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four to one zero one. 729 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: Coming up, Disney Plus is the latest to crack down 730 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: on password sharing. I will tell you the details of 731 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: when that is scheduled to start. Tell your family members. 732 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: Now you are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back 733 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with 734 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: you talking technology at triple eight rich one oh one. 735 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one 736 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: zero one. Well my theory was correct. Steve has written 737 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: in through the website rich on Tech dot TV. He said, Uh, 738 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: to the man with the question about the ALS situation, 739 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: I have Direct TV. If he adds the same programs 740 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: fully on their DVR, it will switch to the new 741 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: station automatically. It's important to program the same program on 742 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: all slots for each hour. That's exactly what I said, 743 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: So I think that will be your solution. That was 744 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: Dan and Carpenteria. So Dan, I hope you're still listening. 745 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,439 Speaker 1: That is the way to do it. It won't cost 746 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: you anything. It's using the DVR that you already have. 747 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 2: So I like that. Let's see. 748 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: Let's see d says, what's the best antennae antenna to 749 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: get to access local channels. I feel like antennae are 750 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: the things that come out of the ants you know. 751 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: But like antenna, if you're looking for for your DV 752 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: I like anything from Antenna's Direct, A, N T, E, NNA, 753 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: Antenna's Direct, and they make something called the Mohu and 754 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: they're they're famous for the Mohu leaf, but they also 755 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: have new ones, the Mohu Versa. But I would pop 756 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: in your zip code, see what you can get and 757 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: get the recommendation for what you need. So it really 758 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 1: depends on where you live, what kind of antenna you need. 759 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: You might need something that's powered, you might need something 760 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: that's small. It just really depends. So just pop in 761 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: your zip code on Antennasdirect dot com and it will 762 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,240 Speaker 1: tell you what you can get and also the types 763 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: of antennas that you should get, so it'll tell you 764 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 1: exactly what you need, suggest an Antenna's fear zip code. 765 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: It also tell you the channels that you can get 766 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: and you'll be surprised. I mean, I don't know what 767 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: the deal is with antennas. I feel like they've come 768 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: a long way. But I can plug one into the 769 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: back of my TV in the office and I get 770 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: like every channel like almost crystal Well, the ones I 771 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: get are crystal clear, and I get a lot of them. 772 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: A lot of them are, you know, kind of nonsensy, 773 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: but you know, the big ones are there. Disney Plus 774 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 1: is going to start cracking down on passwords sharing. They 775 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: sent out a new terms of service to their subscribers, 776 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: and anyone suspected of improper sharing may have some ramifications. 777 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,720 Speaker 1: They could even cancel your account. This will begin summer 778 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, so Disney of course hopes to convert 779 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: some passwords sharing folks to paid subscribers. They will have 780 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: some sort of message they will send you saying, hey, 781 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: we notice you're trying to share someone else's password. You 782 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: want to subscribe yourself. But again, that happened summer twenty 783 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: twenty four. There's going to be a lot of sad 784 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: people on my account. Every time I log in, there's 785 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 1: another profile added to my Disney Plus page. 786 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 2: I can't say that. 787 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: You should be sharing your password right now, but I 788 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: know people do, and so far these streaming companies have 789 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: not cracked down on it, but that is changing in 790 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: a very, very big way. If you check out my 791 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: Instagram at rich on Tech, like I said, I just 792 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: got back from the Chicago Auto Show, you can check 793 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: out the various posts I put on there, and I 794 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: was noticing I actually forgot about this. But yesterday I 795 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: was on the plane flying back and I got an 796 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: earthquake alert. How scary is that. I'm just sitting there 797 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: on my phone before the plane took off. We were 798 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: actually delayed a little bit because they're repairing something, and 799 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: I get this critical notification that says earthquake drop cover 800 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: hold on shaking expected magnitude four point seven in La County. 801 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: And I was in Chicago, and so I immediately text 802 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: my wife and said, Lindsey, did you are you filling 803 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: an earthquake or what? 804 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 2: She said, Yeah, had you know? 805 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: I said, well, I just got the alert on my phone. 806 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: And so my advice, because I posted this, of course, 807 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: is to download this app. 808 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 2: It's called my Shake. 809 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: So if you live in the LA area, it only 810 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: works in Los Angeles or sorry, California, Washington, and Orion. 811 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: But if you live in one of those places. It 812 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: uses that network they set up of the little sensors 813 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: in the ground and it will tell you a couple 814 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: of seconds before the earthquake, or at least that's what's 815 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: supposed to do. And of course, based on all the 816 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: feedback I got, a lot of people did get it. 817 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: A lot of people said they had an old app 818 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: that's been decommissioned. The main app, I think the only 819 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: app you can do at this point is called my Shake. 820 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: Now that's for Android and iOS. If you have Android, 821 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: you can go into your settings under Safety Emergency. There 822 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,240 Speaker 1: is an earthquake alert system built into the Android operating system. 823 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: So either way, I recommend getting it. My kids were 824 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: really shaken up. They said, oh Dad, it was the 825 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: first time we had an earthquake at school and the 826 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: whole room shot, you know, shook, and we had to 827 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: get under our desks. Reminds me of back in the 828 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: day when I was a kid. We used to like 829 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: what we learned, like stop, drop and roll for like fires. 830 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: But now I guess with earthquakes it's like stop and 831 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: take cover or something. I didn't grow up an earthquake country, 832 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: so I didn't really learn that stuff growing up and 833 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: in fact, my inkling was to run outside. And when 834 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: I interviewed an expert in earthquakes, he's like, no, no, 835 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: that is the last thing you want to do. That's 836 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: how people get hurt because things fall on top of 837 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: their head. 838 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 2: So be safe. And if you're not from the area 839 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 2: that has. 840 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: Earthquakes or any natural disaster that you get in your area, 841 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: educate yourself.

These things, these these people 865 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: are this is a this is a scam, and this 866 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 1: is you know, I'm assuming the web address is some 867 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: sort of like it's not like Google dot com, right, 868 00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: it's it's something. 869 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't don't even give it to us. What is it? 870 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want don't don't even say it on 871 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: air because I don't want people to go to it 872 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: because this is totally you know, they're going to try 873 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: to either get your personal information, your credit card number. 874 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: This is you know, this is totally a scam. 875 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 10: Okay, Yeah, appreciate your. 876 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: Show, Thank you, thank you, Judy, appreciate it. The main, 877 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: the main takeaway here is that you do not want 878 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: to click on the links in these texts that you get. 879 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: You do not want to call the phone number. You 880 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,720 Speaker 1: do not want to respond because the more you respond 881 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: to these things or interact with them, it verifies your number. 882 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: And I will tell you now probably now's a good 883 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: time talking about this. Hang on, let me grab my 884 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: notes on this thing. So I was talking to my 885 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: wife about the information that is that is on all 886 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: of us on the internet, and these uh, the idea 887 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: of your data is out there right through data breaches. 888 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: Your phone number, your email address, your data birth, your 889 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: social Security number, it is all out there. And the 890 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: way that this gets out there is that there are 891 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: data breaches on the websites that you give this information to, 892 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: and so once those sites get hacked, they that information 893 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: is out there online for anyone to find. And so 894 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: with that said, couple things you can do. I've talked 895 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: about this before, but you can manually go through and 896 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: try to request a takedown of your information. But first 897 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: you have to see where that information is. And so 898 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: Mozilla this week came out with the new thing called 899 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: Mozilla Monitor Plus. And if you're familiar with Mozilla, that's 900 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 1: the company that makes the Firefox web browser. 901 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 2: And this is not new. 902 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: This is something that a lot of companies offer, but 903 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: I do trust Mozilla and they actually gave me a 904 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: test account to try this out, and I'm very impressed. 905 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: So it found like one hundred and thirty nine instances 906 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: of my information online and it fixed eleven manually, it 907 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: removed five of them automatically, and seventy one are in progress. 908 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 1: And so what it does is it scans the information 909 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: about you you put in your name, your phone number, 910 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 1: your email address, maybe your data birth and then it 911 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 1: goes out online and it looks for the places that 912 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 1: have that information and so it found it on all 913 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: these different websites been verified, people Wizard, Gosh, there's ten 914 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,760 Speaker 1: variations of that one. Search Systems, Bumper dot com, whatever, 915 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: that is, free People, Directory, Number, Guru, Ownerly, People Smart 916 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: and so Spokio. You know you've heard of that one. 917 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: And it goes through and it shows you the information 918 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: on the page. It gives you a link of that 919 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: and then it tells you what you can do about it, 920 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: so whether you can manually take that down or they 921 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 1: can do it. So for free, they will do a 922 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: one time scan of your information and just kind of 923 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: reveal where it is and show you what you can do. 924 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: But if you pay them a couple bucks a month, 925 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 1: they will do all of this for you and automatically 926 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: and continue to do it. So they scan like one 927 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety different broker sites. But if you want 928 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: to do this for a free one time scan, which 929 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: I think you should probably do, just check out monitor 930 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: dot Mozilla dot org. Monitor dot mozilla dot org and 931 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: it's pretty incredible it's very eye opening. Now, if you 932 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,399 Speaker 1: are a Google subscriber, if you pay for anything from 933 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: Google one, they have what's called a dark Web scanner, 934 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: and so they will email you when your results show 935 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: up on the dark web. 936 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 2: That's if you're paid. And I've got all that monitor too. 937 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: Your email address, my data birth, my phone number, my usernames, 938 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: my passwords. It's pretty wild what is out there, and 939 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,319 Speaker 1: so they will email you that as well. That's if 940 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 1: you're a paid subscriber. If you're not paid, Google has 941 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 1: a free thing called Google Results about You, and so 942 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: if you go there, you put in your information again 943 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 1: and they will scan the web for any website that 944 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: has the information that you put in, whether it's your data, birth, 945 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: your phone number, your address, whatever it is, and they 946 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: will tell you where that is. Now, Google will not 947 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: take down that website, but they will take down the 948 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: link to that website on their search results. So if 949 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: someone's looking for you, it takes a little bit of 950 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: a deeper dive for them to actually find you than 951 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: going on Google. So if you just typed in someone's 952 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 1: name and address you know, and or phone number or 953 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: date of birth, you won't see those results on Google 954 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,719 Speaker 1: search if you want to go through and actually get 955 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,799 Speaker 1: rid of those. That's why you have to actually go 956 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 1: through to these companies and get rid of this yourself. 957 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: But I highly recommend you do a search for yourself 958 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: and just see what's out there and try to remove 959 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 1: some of this information. 960 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,839 Speaker 2: It will definitely come in handy. 961 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: All right, Coming up, we're going to talk to doctor 962 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: Chris Pearson, cybersecurity expert.

What, in your opinion, is 1004 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: the best Android phone to get. I'd like to say 1005 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 1: money is no issue, but I'm a single mom, so 1006 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: I can't say that. Picture quality and reliability are two 1007 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: of my biggest issues. I trust and respect your opinion, 1008 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: so I'd like to ask before throwing caution to the 1009 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,320 Speaker 1: wind and ordering the first Android ICEE. Thank you Maria, 1010 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: Well Maria number one. The whole sending a photo from 1011 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 1: Android to Apple and looking pixelated has really nothing to 1012 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,919 Speaker 1: do with the phone. The phone is trying to send 1013 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: a good picture and it's taken a nice picture. The 1014 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: problem is the way that Apple receives the picture. They 1015 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: are using an older version of texting that does not 1016 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: support high quality pictures, and so later this year they 1017 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 1: will support what's called RCS Rich Communication Services, and pictures 1018 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 1: from Samsung or any sort of Android to the iPhone 1019 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: will actually look perfect and vice versa. And so that's 1020 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: going to be a huge change because right now, iPhone 1021 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 1: to iPhone looks great, Android to Android looks great, but 1022 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: when you go from Android to iPhone or iPhone to Android, 1023 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: pictures could look really bad. And videos don't even try 1024 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: to send one of those those are horrible. So With 1025 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,800 Speaker 1: that said, to answer your question, I think the best 1026 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,399 Speaker 1: phone for you would probably be a Pixel. I think 1027 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: pixels take great pictures, they are easy to use, their reliable, 1028 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: and the price is great. I'd go with the Pixel 1029 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,839 Speaker 1: seven A if you want a budget phone, or I'd 1030 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 1: go the Pixel eight if you want a nice kind 1031 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: of all around phone, And the price on those are 1032 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: going to be a little bit more, anywhere from like 1033 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: five hundred to eight hundred dollars. So, oh wow, it 1034 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,439 Speaker 1: looks like the Pixel eight is on sale right now. 1035 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: That's actually a pretty good deal. If it's five hundred 1036 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: and fifty bucks, that's a great deal because it launched 1037 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,240 Speaker 1: at like seven hundred. So anyway, I really like the Pixels. 1038 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 1: I think they are very liable, they'll take great pictures. Yeah, 1039 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty bucks right now, And the Pixel 1040 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: seven eight is going to be a little bit cheaper, 1041 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 1: but the Pixel eight is going to have overall, it's 1042 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 1: going to be faster and better specs. So if you can, 1043 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 1: if you can do it, I'd go Pixel eight. Great question, 1044 00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 1: Thanks for that. 1045 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 2: Uh Ring. 1046 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: Is going to raise prices starting March eleventh, twenty twenty four. 1047 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 1: The Ring Protect Basic subscription price will increase from three 1048 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 1: ninety nine a month or forty dollars a year to 1049 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: five dollars a month or fifty dollars a year. This 1050 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: is if your subscription renews on or after March eleventh, 1051 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. So if you're on a subscription date 1052 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: that's before March eleventh, you're gonna get one more year 1053 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,720 Speaker 1: of the cheaper service. You can change this, do whatever 1054 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: you need to do. I asked Ring about this, and 1055 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: they said, you know what, we believe that Ring protect 1056 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: still offers some of the best value in the industry. 1057 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: I would probably agree with that. Fifty bucks a year 1058 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 1: for your video doorbell. I know everything is a subscription 1059 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 1: these days, and all these subscriptions continue to go up 1060 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 1: in price, but I still think it's a pretty good 1061 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: value if you want to make your doorbell record the 1062 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: events that it does. Otherwise, if you get a Ring doorbell, 1063 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: you can just live stream it. 1064 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 2: That's it. 1065 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: You can't really see the recordings of what happens outside 1066 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 1: the front of your house. So I would recommend if 1067 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 1: you have a video doorbell, you got to pay for 1068 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,479 Speaker 1: that because you really want those events. And finally, Ring 1069 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 1: has a new battery Doorbell Pro. This is now their 1070 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 1: best battery doorbell. Ring says seventy eight percent of customers 1071 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: use a battery power doorbell. Previously, you had to go 1072 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: wired to get all of Ring's best features like three 1073 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: D motion detection, bird's eye view, all these cool things, 1074 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 1: the HD plus video, low light video. Now you can 1075 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 1: get it in a battery doorbell. It's called the Ring 1076 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: Battery Doorbell Pro. It chips on March sixth. It will 1077 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:18,360 Speaker 1: cost two. 1078 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 2: Hundred and thirty dollars. 1079 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,359 Speaker 1: That is very pricey for a Ring doorbell, but you're 1080 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 1: gonna get the best, the best. 1081 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 2: Quality out of that one. 1082 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna talk romance scams with doctor Chris Pearson, 1083 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: cyber security expert.

I've 1321 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 3: got a TV about a year ago. It's an LG 1322 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,560 Speaker 3: O L ED got a sown bar and then in December, 1323 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 3: just a few months ago, I bought another, uh well three 1324 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 3: TVs and the one that I'm talking about now is 1325 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:24,439 Speaker 3: is a Samsung. And when I had the last three 1326 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 3: installed in December by best Buy, that came in geek 1327 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 3: Squad came in and installed everything, and the one in 1328 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,080 Speaker 3: the back room, which is not the one I'm going 1329 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 3: to talk about, the one in the back room wouldn't connected. 1330 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 3: So they said, well, you need a wire mesh system. 1331 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 3: So I got the euro wire Mesh system. So I 1332 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 3: have that now. And so Spectrum took their you know, 1333 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 3: was it router away. And so now I have my 1334 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 3: TV that I've had for a year. It's the LG fuzzy. 1335 01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 3: The screen is not looking nice at all. And it's 1336 01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 3: a high TV my, So that's the LG problem. My 1337 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 3: Samsung with the soundbar is crystal clear, beautiful. Yeah, but 1338 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,720 Speaker 3: the sink is off on that. So when I and 1339 01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 3: but it's only when I have the soundbar on. When 1340 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,640 Speaker 3: I have the soundbar on, it's a little off. And 1341 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 3: I turn the sound bar off, the think is fine. 1342 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, well okay, so a couple of things. 1343 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 1: Number one, uh, these are not this has nothing to 1344 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 1: do with your eurosystem. This is these are these are 1345 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 1: situations that are local to the TV. So the fuzzy 1346 01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 1: screen on this on the LG. You didn't change anything, 1347 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 1: and that just happened. 1348 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1349 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Does it look like a defect with the TV screen? 1350 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,720 Speaker 1: And is it on everything or is it just on 1351 01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,240 Speaker 1: certain things? 1352 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 3: Everything? Okay, whether I'm on Netflix or regular TV. And 1353 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 3: it was raining a lot lately, of course, so I 1354 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 3: thought maybe it had to do with that. 1355 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 2: So it looks like. 1356 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,600 Speaker 1: The actual TV screen is affected, like there's something wrong 1357 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: with the actual screen itself, not the content that's playing 1358 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 1: on the screen. 1359 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, because no matter what I have on, it's just 1360 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 3: not that crystal clear. Okay, you know the letters are 1361 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 3: fuzzy and hard to read. 1362 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, Well, first off, what I would do for 1363 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 1: that TV is I would you know, it could be 1364 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,040 Speaker 1: it could be a defect that happened, and so that 1365 01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: could be something that you know, you might need to 1366 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 1: get someone out there to like look at. But if 1367 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 1: I were you, what I would do immediately is just 1368 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,400 Speaker 1: I would disconnect all of my inputs on the back 1369 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: and I would do a. 1370 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 2: Full reset of that TV. 1371 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,920 Speaker 1: So go into settings and look for sort of a 1372 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 1: factory reset and that will at least bring the TV 1373 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 1: back to the out of the box experience, and then 1374 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,000 Speaker 1: plug in you know, your fire TV box or whatever 1375 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 1: you have connected to that and see if that helps. 1376 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: If that doesn't help and it looks like the TV 1377 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 1: is actually just the screen is just something's wrong with it, 1378 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: then I would probably call LG and see if you 1379 01:05:58,400 --> 01:05:58,840 Speaker 1: can get. 1380 01:05:58,680 --> 01:05:59,880 Speaker 2: A service person out there for that. 1381 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1382 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 1: Uh, the sound bar, that's just a sink issue. So 1383 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 1: you got to go into your settings on whatever you're 1384 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,560 Speaker 1: using to to do that TV to, you know, to 1385 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 1: put the sound onto that soundbar, whether it's a streaming 1386 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,440 Speaker 1: device or the TV itself, and you have to adjust 1387 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,600 Speaker 1: the sink and so usually there the soundbar may have 1388 01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 1: an option itself to do that, but it's typically a 1389 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,800 Speaker 1: little setting on either your TV or the soundbar itself 1390 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 1: and there's a sink setting. 1391 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 2: It's also I'm not sure how you have. 1392 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 1: That connected, but it could be depending on how you 1393 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 1: have that connected, the sink could be better or worse 1394 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 1: based on you know, the type of connection. And if 1395 01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 1: you're using the HDMI input on your TV or output 1396 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 1: on your TV, I would look for the one that 1397 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 1: says ARC. That's the ones you want for the best 1398 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 1: for the best connection between those two. So that's that's 1399 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 1: what i'd recommend. But look for the sink on the 1400 01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:00,240 Speaker 1: audio bar and also ARC look on the back of 1401 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,280 Speaker 1: your TV and make sure you're using the output that's 1402 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,440 Speaker 1: labeled HDMI with e ERC and that will give you 1403 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:10,240 Speaker 1: the highest quality connection between those two things. So that's 1404 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 1: why I recommend, Patty, and hopefully that will work. Report 1405 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: back please thanks a lot. Eighty eight rich one on 1406 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one 1407 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 1: zero one. Let's go to stand in Oxnard. 1408 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 2: Stand you're on with Rich? 1409 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 9: Hey? 1410 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 3: Rich? How you doing today? 1411 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,200 Speaker 2: I'm doing excellent? What can I help you with? 1412 01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:29,120 Speaker 8: Hey? 1413 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 15: I was just wondering when you were at the Chicago 1414 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 15: Car Show, did you get a chance to speak with 1415 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 15: any of the developers on all the automations are thrown 1416 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 15: in cars and that affects the skill level of the drivers, 1417 01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 15: like a degradation because of the automation. Is that a 1418 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 15: concern to them? 1419 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I did not ask any of 1420 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 1: them that, but that's a great question. And I think. 1421 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, my kids will tell you that I'm yelling 1422 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: at drivers all day long. So I don't know if 1423 01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 1: it's an automated thing or just a human thing. But 1424 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,040 Speaker 1: I do think that there are some cars have become 1425 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 1: so automated that there's a lot of things we're forgetting. 1426 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Like I was thinking about this the other day. Whenever 1427 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,440 Speaker 1: I rent a car, you know, you have to remember 1428 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:12,920 Speaker 1: to turn on the lights, you got to remember to 1429 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 1: do this, you got to do that, lock the doors, 1430 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 1: put it into park. But if you have some of 1431 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 1: these newer cars, a lot of that stuff is automated. 1432 01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,439 Speaker 1: So I do think that we're kind of forgetting some 1433 01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 1: of that skill level. When it comes to the automation, 1434 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 1: people are just being stupid, and you know, they're doing 1435 01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,000 Speaker 1: stuff they shouldn't be doing and pushing the limits of 1436 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 1: these systems in a way that they are not intended. 1437 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 1: And so I think that that's a great question for 1438 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 1: the next time I talk to someone with these automated systems. 1439 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 2: But I think that they will throw a lot of that. 1440 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,479 Speaker 1: A lot of that burden back on the human driver 1441 01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 1: because these systems do have a lot of safety, you know, 1442 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 1: safety built into them, but they can only do so much. 1443 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, when the Tesla first came out, people figured 1444 01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:58,880 Speaker 1: out how you can like put a weight on the 1445 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,519 Speaker 1: wheel to like make it autopilot when it wasn't supposed 1446 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 1: to be doing that. Actually have a story today that 1447 01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:05,600 Speaker 1: I was going to tell you about. I'll do it 1448 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 1: right now. Toyota. This happened in Massachusetts. This guy was 1449 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 1: driving a person. 1450 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,599 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's guy or female. Toyota BZ 1451 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 2: four X. 1452 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:18,519 Speaker 1: I don't even know how to say the name of 1453 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: this car, but this is Toyota's ev It's called the 1454 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: BZ four X. Might have seen it advertised, and the 1455 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 1: driver got out of the car without putting it into park, 1456 01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:30,800 Speaker 1: probably because the car is so silent, and it began 1457 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 1: rolling off the pier he was on and he had 1458 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,559 Speaker 1: to escape through a window on his car, and the 1459 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 1: ev rolled right into the ocean. 1460 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 2: The car was a total loss. 1461 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,559 Speaker 1: And this was the twenty twenty four Toyota BZ four X, 1462 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 1: and they were saying that this probably suggests the need 1463 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,040 Speaker 1: for a warning if the driver gets out of the 1464 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,679 Speaker 1: car without putting it into park. Now I've got a Tesla, 1465 01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,640 Speaker 1: and I've got the situation where when I'm at a 1466 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 1: low speed and I'm doing something, my car will will 1467 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 1: shift into park by itself, and I'll say, oh, we 1468 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 1: wanted to prevent a roll away. So the Tesla does 1469 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,680 Speaker 1: have that system in place, that safety system. And so 1470 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 1: this apparently happens when you connect a charging cable, unbuckle 1471 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 1: your seatbelt or open the door while and drive or neutral. 1472 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:22,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1473 01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:23,599 Speaker 1: It just seems to do it on my car when 1474 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm like at a low speed and I kind of 1475 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,200 Speaker 1: just like it just stops and it says, we're putting 1476 01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 1: it into bark for your safety. 1477 01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 2: So I think the Toyota should have that. 1478 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 1: In fact, I left when I was testing a car 1479 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 1: a long time ago, I left it running the entire 1480 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 1: time I went inside because it was so silent that 1481 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,320 Speaker 1: I didn't even realize the thing was on. And I 1482 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 1: just walked away from this car. When I came back, 1483 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:48,880 Speaker 1: it was still running. So yeah, these systems, they're not 1484 01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 1: fool proof, and we're all human and so we make 1485 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 1: mistakes and hopefully they can build them where they are 1486 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,600 Speaker 1: full proof to a certain extent, but there's always going 1487 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 1: to be that human element we need to address. Listening 1488 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:08,760 Speaker 1: to rich on Tech, Welcome back to rich on Tech. 1489 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,200 Speaker 1: Rich Tamuro here hanging out talking technology with you at 1490 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,599 Speaker 1: triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven 1491 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:20,439 Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one the website rich 1492 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:26,080 Speaker 1: on tech dot tv.

Let's go to Dan 1497 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:40,559 Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. Dan, you're on with. 1498 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 14: Rich Get out, sir, Hi, I'm wondering what would be 1499 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:52,720 Speaker 14: your recommendation for for LTV security camera. I don't have 1500 01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:58,320 Speaker 14: life FLI. Oh there's like ten different companies that make 1501 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,719 Speaker 14: them and compeers and going on. But what the details are. 1502 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:07,040 Speaker 14: But it has to be linked through the cellular network, 1503 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:07,840 Speaker 14: not Wi Fi. 1504 01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,920 Speaker 1: Okay, so you want cellular you want a camera that's 1505 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:12,200 Speaker 1: basically self contained? 1506 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. 1507 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:15,800 Speaker 1: Do you have a place to plug it in or 1508 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:20,120 Speaker 1: is it going to be battery it's going to beat Okay, 1509 01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 1: battery or solar? 1510 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:21,719 Speaker 2: Okay? Perfect? 1511 01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, the most of my cameras 1512 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 1: that I have are all plug in or Wi Fi 1513 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,759 Speaker 1: with solar or plugged in whatever. But I did test 1514 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,720 Speaker 1: a while back a Canary camera which had LTE, so 1515 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 1: they did make them. It's been a while since I 1516 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:44,120 Speaker 1: tried one. But the two popular cameras from what I 1517 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,599 Speaker 1: can tell, are from Rlow and UFE. These are two 1518 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 1: pretty big brands, so it kind of comes down to 1519 01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 1: which camera has the features that you want between these two. 1520 01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,040 Speaker 1: But that those are the two brands that I would 1521 01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: narrow down to. You're probably gonna find if you go 1522 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,680 Speaker 1: on Amazon, you're probably gonna find a hundre different of 1523 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,640 Speaker 1: these types of cameras. But these brands are brands that 1524 01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:04,600 Speaker 1: I know brands. 1525 01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:05,000 Speaker 2: That I trust. 1526 01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:09,960 Speaker 1: So when it comes to Arlow versus UFIE, you know, 1527 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:11,840 Speaker 1: the thing that you want to look for is the 1528 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,200 Speaker 1: pricing and also what you know, do they make you 1529 01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 1: pay for the subscription for the LTE the cellular or 1530 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,879 Speaker 1: can you bring your own cellular? That may be important 1531 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 1: to you. Of course, the monthly fees is something you 1532 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,439 Speaker 1: want to look at. And also the cloud backup, so 1533 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,439 Speaker 1: you want to see these things back up to the 1534 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 1: cloud immediately or do they back up to an SD 1535 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,599 Speaker 1: card that's on board and you can only access it 1536 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 1: from there. So the reason why the cloud is important 1537 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 1: is because if someone takes one of these cameras, you 1538 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 1: will not have any of the video footage. So if 1539 01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:46,400 Speaker 1: it's backing up to the cloud, you know, that's another 1540 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:50,599 Speaker 1: way of having that footage. But those are the two 1541 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 1: brands that I would take a look at, ARLOW or UFEE. 1542 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,000 Speaker 1: I think the jury's out on which one is better. 1543 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,479 Speaker 1: I think that it comes down to personal preference. Like 1544 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,760 Speaker 1: I said, with the different things that I mentioned, but 1545 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 1: those are the cameras that I think are the most popular. 1546 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 1: The other thing you might want to look at is 1547 01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,760 Speaker 1: what's called a trail cam This was actually one of 1548 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: the first questions we ever got in this show, and 1549 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,720 Speaker 1: someone wanted a camera that was sort of just out 1550 01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,600 Speaker 1: there without anything. And I was not aware of the 1551 01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 1: trail cams at the time, but something like a trailcam 1552 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:25,240 Speaker 1: might be good in this situation that has an LTE 1553 01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 1: connection as well, and those are going to probably be 1554 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more rugged and a little bit more 1555 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, made for the outdoors, so it depends. I mean, again, 1556 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:37,679 Speaker 1: those are the brands i'd recommend. Those are the brands 1557 01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: that I check out see if those do what you need. 1558 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,960 Speaker 1: And that's a good question. You know, we always think 1559 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 1: of Wi Fi and we always think of wired Internet 1560 01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 1: because sometimes you just want to put a camera somewhere 1561 01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:52,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't have either of those things. And LT gets 1562 01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:54,840 Speaker 1: expensive because you got to pay that monthly fee and 1563 01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about streaming and so you need more data. 1564 01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:58,559 Speaker 2: So it's not there's not. 1565 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,040 Speaker 1: A whole lot of options there that are good, but 1566 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,000 Speaker 1: it's something that you got to think about sometimes. 1567 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 2: Thanks for the question there. 1568 01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:11,360 Speaker 1: In New Hampshire, Hawaiian Airlines, speaking of internet, the first 1569 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 1: major air carrier in the US to offer high speed 1570 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 1: starlink in flight, Wi FI now before I get the 1571 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,400 Speaker 1: angry emails. Yes, I know that Jet sweet X does this, 1572 01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,599 Speaker 1: but they are not a major carrier. They are a 1573 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,920 Speaker 1: smaller carrier that just does smaller flights. This is the 1574 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,200 Speaker 1: first like big airline to do this, and so they 1575 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:41,120 Speaker 1: are debuting this service which provides fast streaming gaming downloads. 1576 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be wild what you can do on these 1577 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: aircraft now compared to before. I was just on a 1578 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,800 Speaker 1: couple of flights and the Internet is amazing. The fact 1579 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 1: that we have internet on planes now is so nice 1580 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:58,520 Speaker 1: compared to years past, but it's still pretty slow and unreliable. 1581 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,799 Speaker 1: I will say my Internet on both of my flights 1582 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,439 Speaker 1: was pretty darn good actually, but it wasn't this fast. 1583 01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 1: This is going to be much faster. So Hawaiian's been 1584 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 1: testing this with their employees. They say it's safe. They 1585 01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,479 Speaker 1: say it's going to roll out across their A three 1586 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 1: twenty one neo fleet and you're going to see it 1587 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 1: on the door. So they're not letting you select a 1588 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,280 Speaker 1: flight that has this just yet because I think they're 1589 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,200 Speaker 1: still rolling it out. But when you get on board 1590 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:29,679 Speaker 1: the Hawaiian Airlines plane, there'll be a little starlink decal 1591 01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: on the door, and so if you're on that flight, 1592 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,680 Speaker 1: you're like, yes, I just got great Internet from my 1593 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:38,240 Speaker 1: entire flight to Hawaii. So I have been in touch 1594 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,000 Speaker 1: with Hawaiian I'm hoping to get on a flight to 1595 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:44,240 Speaker 1: Hawaii to test this out. I cannot wait. I am 1596 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 1: very excited to see just how fast this is. And 1597 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,040 Speaker 1: now when people are going to Hawaii, they're not really 1598 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 1: thinking about doing work. You know, it's a very leisure 1599 01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 1: kind of oriented trip. But it will still be nice 1600 01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 1: for family and kids especially that want to do gaming 1601 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,439 Speaker 1: and downloads and streaming and all that stuff. You'll be 1602 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:02,760 Speaker 1: able to do all the stuff that they don't typically 1603 01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,960 Speaker 1: let you do on the slower connections that are on 1604 01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: the standard flights. So I'm not sure if I talked 1605 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,240 Speaker 1: about it last week, but in California, AT and T 1606 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:15,719 Speaker 1: is trying to get rid of its obligations to provide 1607 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 1: landline service, and so that is going to leave a 1608 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 1: lot of people without a telephone line in their home, 1609 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 1: especially in rural areas places that don't have good cellular connections. 1610 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:31,040 Speaker 1: And so I mentioned this on the news and Amazon 1611 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,040 Speaker 1: emailed me and said, hey, Rich, don't forget about this service. 1612 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 1: That we offer called Alexa Emergency Assist, and they said, 1613 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 1: you know, it might be a good thing in place 1614 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 1: of a landline, because the thing about a landline when 1615 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 1: you have kids, well, there's a couple use cases. You know, 1616 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 1: some people like it as a security in the event 1617 01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 1: of like an emergency, right if there's an earthquake or 1618 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 1: some sort of natural disaster. The landlines are a little 1619 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,599 Speaker 1: bit more, you know, they work a little bit more 1620 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 1: than the cellular networks. Although that's probably debatable at this point, 1621 01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,320 Speaker 1: but some people think that they do, so you know, 1622 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,439 Speaker 1: maybe they do. But you know, also when you have 1623 01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,680 Speaker 1: kids or elderly, So if you have someone elderly that 1624 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 1: may not have a cell phone or may not want 1625 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 1: to use a cell phone, a landline could be easy. 1626 01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,000 Speaker 2: They know how to use it, it's been around forever. 1627 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,600 Speaker 1: And then with kids, they may not have access to 1628 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,320 Speaker 1: a cell phone because mom and dad have the phone 1629 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 1: and they leave the house, or you know, the kid 1630 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,479 Speaker 1: doesn't know how to use a cell phone and they 1631 01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,160 Speaker 1: don't have a way to call for help. So this 1632 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 1: Alexa Emergency Assist is a service you can pay for. 1633 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 1: It is six dollars a month or sixty dollars for 1634 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: the year, and all it requires is one of the 1635 01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: Amazon speakers, so like some sort of echo device, right, 1636 01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:40,200 Speaker 1: and all you have to say to it, and I 1637 01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,280 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't say this because I don't want to trigger yours, 1638 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,960 Speaker 1: but you just say alex A call for help, and 1639 01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 1: it will call through your Echo device to a trained 1640 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: agent that can request the dispatch of police, fire or 1641 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,960 Speaker 1: ambulance without waiting on hold. They say it's faster than 1642 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 1: industry standards called directly. Then they also have smart alerts, 1643 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:07,080 Speaker 1: so your alex A can detect your smoke alarm or 1644 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,840 Speaker 1: CO two alarm or carbon monoxide alarm is ringing the 1645 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,439 Speaker 1: sound of glass breaking, it will notify you on your phone. 1646 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:17,360 Speaker 1: So basically, your your speaker listens for that sound, that 1647 01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,240 Speaker 1: actual frequency, and if it hears it, it will text 1648 01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 1: you and then you can take action. And that's very 1649 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,360 Speaker 1: important because long story short, my wife and I just 1650 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 1: flew to New Jersey one day and all of a sudden, 1651 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,200 Speaker 1: we get a text on my phone that my alarm 1652 01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 1: is going off at my house. 1653 01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, what how do I what do I do? 1654 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:33,680 Speaker 9: Like? 1655 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 1: It was the most helpless I ever felt, and back 1656 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,080 Speaker 1: then I didn't have any cameras, so I couldn't see 1657 01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 1: what was going on at my house. I had to 1658 01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,640 Speaker 1: call my friend and he had to drive over, and 1659 01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,960 Speaker 1: he said, the fire people, firefighters were literally outside my 1660 01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:46,920 Speaker 1: house ready to break in the door because they were 1661 01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:48,960 Speaker 1: going to see what was going on in there. Maybe 1662 01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,120 Speaker 1: he was exaggerating, but he said he the way he 1663 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,400 Speaker 1: described it, they were literally like an axe to my door. 1664 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,240 Speaker 1: And like I was like, all right, he said, no, stop, 1665 01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:55,719 Speaker 1: my friend. 1666 01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 2: You know. 1667 01:19:56,520 --> 01:20:00,000 Speaker 1: Anyway, then you can also have up to twenty five 1668 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:05,240 Speaker 1: emergency contacts automatically notified if a call is placed, which 1669 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,439 Speaker 1: is interesting. And then of course they have the glass 1670 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: breaking smart alerts and you can drop in and listen 1671 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 1: to the sound inside your house. 1672 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 2: So anyway, I. 1673 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,559 Speaker 1: Just telling you about it because it's kind of an 1674 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 1: interesting alternative, you know, and if you have kids, it 1675 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,240 Speaker 1: might be a good thing to have. I told my 1676 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 1: wife about this and she said, yeah, that sounds like 1677 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 1: a great idea. And I said to Amazon, I said, 1678 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,360 Speaker 1: wait a second, I thought this went away. Well, the 1679 01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 1: thing that went away was called Alexa Guard and Guard Plus, 1680 01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:32,840 Speaker 1: and I don't know if those were free, but I 1681 01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,720 Speaker 1: have a feeling they were either free or less cost 1682 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,040 Speaker 1: than this. I'm not sure. Let me say Alexa guard. 1683 01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what the pricing was of that. Yeah, 1684 01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 1: it was free. Yeah, and so now of course this 1685 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:47,960 Speaker 1: costs money, and so that's why people were up in 1686 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,639 Speaker 1: arms about it. But again it's called Alexa Emergency Assist. 1687 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:55,360 Speaker 1: Maybe something I'll look into if you want that alternative 1688 01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,800 Speaker 1: to dialing nine to one one. But again I think 1689 01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 1: that at the end of the day, I can't tell 1690 01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,479 Speaker 1: you that this can replace nine one one. But it's 1691 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,759 Speaker 1: a nice thing because some of these smart home systems 1692 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:07,760 Speaker 1: do not dial nine one one. People think they do, 1693 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,640 Speaker 1: and they don't. So you need to know before an 1694 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,519 Speaker 1: emergency happens what the capability is of your system. All right, 1695 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,840 Speaker 1: triple eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven 1696 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Coming up later 1697 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 1: this hour, we are going to talk to Kyle Vorbach. 1698 01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: He is a filmmaker who did a documentary called How 1699 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,479 Speaker 1: I Faked My Life with AI. 1700 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 2: He's going to talk. 1701 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,519 Speaker 1: About the benefits and dangers of this AI revolution. We 1702 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,640 Speaker 1: are in looking forward to that conversation a little bit 1703 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 1: later on. 1704 01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 2: My name is Rich d'miro. You are listening to Rich 1705 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:40,479 Speaker 2: on Tech. 1706 01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:48,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here talking technology. 1707 01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do a little lightning round here. I come 1708 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,680 Speaker 1: in here with like dozens of stories I want to 1709 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,320 Speaker 1: tell you about. I don't get to all of them 1710 01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 1: because we get a lot of calls and emails, so 1711 01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,400 Speaker 1: I try to get to those as well. But I 1712 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: like to tell you this stuff because the show in 1713 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 1: the beginning, i'd say it's the tech stuff that I 1714 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,439 Speaker 1: think you should know about. And if I'm not telling 1715 01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:09,800 Speaker 1: you that stuff, then I'm not doing my job. So 1716 01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,479 Speaker 1: I want to balance the calls with also the news 1717 01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:15,280 Speaker 1: that I tell you. So let me get through some 1718 01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:18,599 Speaker 1: of these iTunes on Windows end of the line. 1719 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:20,160 Speaker 2: So Apple has. 1720 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 1: Launched separate apps for managing the iPhone and different things 1721 01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,680 Speaker 1: on the Windows computer side of things. This happened on 1722 01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 1: Mac a while ago, but there's now a separate Apple Music, 1723 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 1: Apple TV, and Apple Devices apps for Windows. So basically 1724 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,200 Speaker 1: all the stuff that iTunes used to do is now 1725 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 1: split up. You can get this on Windows ten and 1726 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:49,719 Speaker 1: later devices. iTunes will remain for podcast and audiobook access, 1727 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:52,840 Speaker 1: but the new apps will give you more of kind 1728 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,920 Speaker 1: of an experience that's similar to the Mac so again, 1729 01:22:56,040 --> 01:23:00,000 Speaker 1: Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Devices. You have to install 1730 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:04,519 Speaker 1: all three new apps and keep the existing iTunes library, 1731 01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 1: So don't delete your iTunes before you install these apps. 1732 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,160 Speaker 2: You will need. That sounds very complicated to me. 1733 01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:13,600 Speaker 1: I think it's just a ploy to get people on 1734 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: Windows to install Apple Music and Apple TV. 1735 01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:17,200 Speaker 2: But that's just me. What do I know. 1736 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,439 Speaker 1: But now, if you want to manage your iPhone, you 1737 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 1: can use this new Apple Devices app, which I think 1738 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,640 Speaker 1: will hopefully be a better situation the other app I like, 1739 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:27,479 Speaker 1: if you want to just shortcut all that stuff is 1740 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:33,960 Speaker 1: called I Amazing Imazing. That'll just shortcut all the Apple stuff. 1741 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 1: You don't have to deal with their software. You can 1742 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 1: just use your own and it does a lot more 1743 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 1: than what iTunes can do. 1744 01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:41,400 Speaker 2: It's also going to cost some money too. 1745 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:49,960 Speaker 1: The information reporting that Apple is developing a foldable clamshell iPhone, OMG. 1746 01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 1: Really I could have told you this news two years ago. 1747 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:59,479 Speaker 1: Of course they're developing a clamshell iPhone. Yes, I mean, 1748 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 1: that's it. There's nothing more to the story. That's it. 1749 01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,800 Speaker 1: This is something Samsung did back in twenty nineteen they 1750 01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,800 Speaker 1: came out with their first foldable phone. Of course, when 1751 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 1: Apple comes out with it, it will be oh, foldable phones, 1752 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 1: what is that? 1753 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:17,240 Speaker 2: Explain? Yes, we've had foldable phones. There are many on 1754 01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:17,799 Speaker 2: the market. 1755 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,760 Speaker 1: Google has one, Samsung has one, one Plus has one. 1756 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,520 Speaker 1: The only game in town that does not have one 1757 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 1: is Apple. So I would be surprised if they do 1758 01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 1: not come out with a foldable phone. 1759 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:31,800 Speaker 2: Do I think it's gonna be really good? Absolutely? 1760 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:32,360 Speaker 12: Do. 1761 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,639 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna sell millions upon millions of them. 1762 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely do. I think it'll have a halo effect on 1763 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,160 Speaker 2: the other foldables. Absolutely. 1764 01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:47,360 Speaker 1: Google is now calling Bard Gemini. So Bard is Google's 1765 01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:52,040 Speaker 1: answer to Chat GPT. They came out with it last 1766 01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 1: year around this time, I think it was March, and 1767 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 1: already they're renaming it to Gemini, so it's very comple. 1768 01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into all of that because 1769 01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 1: you don't really need to know, but if you go 1770 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,679 Speaker 1: to the Barred website, it will now redirect to Gemini. 1771 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 1: They're also offering Gemini Advanced, just like Chat GPT, where 1772 01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 1: you can pay twenty dollars a month to get the 1773 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:20,000 Speaker 1: absolute best version of their AI. Now you can pay 1774 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,320 Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month to get Google's absolute best version 1775 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:27,080 Speaker 1: of their AI. You can get two months free trial. 1776 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 1: It's called the Google one AI Premium Plan twenty bucks 1777 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:33,840 Speaker 1: a month. It gets you the AI, but it also 1778 01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:38,480 Speaker 1: gets you some other things as well. So I personally 1779 01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,519 Speaker 1: will tell you I think Bard is great. Sorry Gemini, 1780 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 1: you know there's all these things. Is it better than 1781 01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:50,200 Speaker 1: chat GPT? But I will tell you my things, Okay. 1782 01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,559 Speaker 1: Number one, I think chat GPT overall is a very 1783 01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,720 Speaker 1: good kind of like introduction to AI. It's just a 1784 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,080 Speaker 1: great thing to kind of play with. 1785 01:25:59,040 --> 01:25:59,479 Speaker 2: Gemini. 1786 01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:04,559 Speaker 1: I will say it's great for access to current events. 1787 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 1: So if you want the absolute latest, like the mix 1788 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,680 Speaker 1: of Google Search but also AI, I think Gemini is 1789 01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,599 Speaker 1: really good for that. And then if you want something 1790 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,519 Speaker 1: that's really good with data and handling large amounts of 1791 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:19,040 Speaker 1: data and summaries, I think claud Ai is the best 1792 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 1: for that. That's from a company called Anthropic. And if 1793 01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,000 Speaker 1: you want to put AI on your phone, my favorite 1794 01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,360 Speaker 1: app for that is called Perplexity AI. So if you 1795 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 1: are looking for say a little history lesson on something 1796 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:36,400 Speaker 1: or an explanation on a question, Perplexity is really good 1797 01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,160 Speaker 1: at coming up with kind of answer on that. But 1798 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,599 Speaker 1: Gemini is really good at that too. And by the way, 1799 01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: if you have an Android phone, you can replace the 1800 01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,080 Speaker 1: Google Assistant now with Gemini, which is what I did 1801 01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,800 Speaker 1: on my phone. So now when I swipe or use 1802 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 1: the Voice Assistant, it will come up with Gemini, which 1803 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,920 Speaker 1: is much smarter than Google Assistant in some ways. It 1804 01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have all the functionality in other ways. And if 1805 01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,400 Speaker 1: you're on iPhone, it's inside the Google app, so you 1806 01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,679 Speaker 1: have to access Gemini inside the Google app. 1807 01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:05,600 Speaker 2: There you have it. 1808 01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:10,479 Speaker 1: Rivian Electric Car Company will unveil a new car on 1809 01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,760 Speaker 1: March seventh, the Rivian R two. This will be a 1810 01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:18,040 Speaker 1: cheaper and more efficient version of their suv. The event's 1811 01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,800 Speaker 1: going to take place at the Rivian has like a 1812 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:24,760 Speaker 1: theater that they have their name on in Laguna Beach. Yes, 1813 01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,200 Speaker 1: I will be there. I can't wait. I think Rivian 1814 01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,000 Speaker 1: is doing some really cool things. Their cars are just 1815 01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,639 Speaker 1: very expensive right now. Hopefully this will be cheaper they're thinking. 1816 01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,799 Speaker 1: You know, the rumor says cheaper suv likely priced between 1817 01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,840 Speaker 1: forty and sixty thousand dollars. But you're not gonna be 1818 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 1: able to get this until twenty twenty six. And right now, 1819 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,960 Speaker 1: Rivian loses money on all of their cars. That they sell. 1820 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:49,879 Speaker 1: Hopefully that will change with a car that will be cheaper, 1821 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 1: but they'll it will cost less to make and TEA 1822 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 1: Mobile customers. You already know I tweeted about this, but 1823 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,360 Speaker 1: I was on the plane and I got free Wi 1824 01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,160 Speaker 1: Fi because of a Team Mobile test line that I 1825 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,640 Speaker 1: have that I'm using, and you get free Wi Fi 1826 01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 1: on the plane. 1827 01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 2: I was like, A, this is so cool. 1828 01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,240 Speaker 1: What a great perk for T Mobile customers. Well, now 1829 01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 1: they're doing something called Magenta Status. You get all these 1830 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 1: VIP benefits and deals. So this includes fifteen percent off 1831 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,200 Speaker 1: Hilton Hotels, free upgrades, and this I think is the 1832 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 1: best feature. If you rent from Dollar or Hurts. At 1833 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:24,840 Speaker 1: Dollar you'll get free gas so you don't have to 1834 01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: return the car with a full tank. And at Hurts 1835 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 1: you can return an EV without charging it. You remember 1836 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:32,840 Speaker 1: when I rented my EV from Hurts, they charged me 1837 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,280 Speaker 1: like twenty five bucks to return it. Not full movie 1838 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 1: tickets at cheap prices. They say this is a fifteen 1839 01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:43,240 Speaker 1: hundred dollars value for the typical customer. What's it trying 1840 01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 1: to do get more people to stick with T Mobile? 1841 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 1: Coming up next, we'll talk about the benefits and dangers 1842 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:56,920 Speaker 1: of AI. You are listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome 1843 01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,599 Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out 1844 01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:04,559 Speaker 1: with you, talking technology and AI is in the news. 1845 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:06,879 Speaker 1: It is one of the hottest topics on this show 1846 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:10,120 Speaker 1: and pretty much everywhere at this point. And joining me 1847 01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,960 Speaker 1: now to talk about it is Kyle Vorbach. He is 1848 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:17,599 Speaker 1: a filmmaker who did How I Faked My Life with AI, 1849 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,120 Speaker 1: and he also has a book called Pandora's Code, which 1850 01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,519 Speaker 1: explains the history, benefits, and dangers of the AI revolution. 1851 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, Kyle, rich Thank you so much 1852 01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:31,840 Speaker 1: for having me. So I watched your upcoming TED talk 1853 01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 1: on the plane yesterday and I have some questions. 1854 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:40,280 Speaker 2: Sure, what do we believe anymore? 1855 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you took us in so many directions on 1856 01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 1: the TED Talk and surprised and faked us out that 1857 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure you're real anymore. Tell me how 1858 01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 1: you got involved in this whole idea of AI and 1859 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:56,000 Speaker 1: kind of trickery because of it. 1860 01:29:56,840 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 16: Absolutely. Yeah, So it's so dumb, but I was. I 1861 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,000 Speaker 16: just needed a new profile. Pictures where it started. And 1862 01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:06,920 Speaker 16: this is when these generative AIS started to come out, 1863 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 16: where you could make an image out of anything and I, 1864 01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,120 Speaker 16: you know, figured when I could miss a shot and 1865 01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,080 Speaker 16: I posted an image of me. I made a whole, 1866 01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 16: very realistic image of me, and no one called me 1867 01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,360 Speaker 16: on it. So I just kept going until someone did, 1868 01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,360 Speaker 16: and then no one did, so I just was like, 1869 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:22,599 Speaker 16: I need to up the ante here. 1870 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 13: And I started to change my life. You know. 1871 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,320 Speaker 16: I got into a brand new apartment, I bought a 1872 01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:30,360 Speaker 16: sports car, I met Ryan Gosling. 1873 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 13: At that point, people started to get a little suspicious. 1874 01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:35,519 Speaker 16: But this went on for over a month, and I 1875 01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 16: thought it would just be like a funny prank. But 1876 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:41,320 Speaker 16: when I revealed this, the reaction was so profound that 1877 01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,439 Speaker 16: people had to it both about the AI side and 1878 01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:46,439 Speaker 16: also our relationship with social media and the disparity there. 1879 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,080 Speaker 16: That I figured, you know, I need to get to 1880 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,160 Speaker 16: the bottom of this. I need to understand this AI 1881 01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:53,120 Speaker 16: thing more. And that's the genesis of this book, was 1882 01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 16: figuring out how do we get here and where's this going? 1883 01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:57,880 Speaker 1: What do you make of AI? I mean, it's become 1884 01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:01,040 Speaker 1: very popular. People are using it for all kinds of things. 1885 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:02,920 Speaker 1: Do you think it's a good thing or do you 1886 01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:03,840 Speaker 1: think it's dangerous? 1887 01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:06,920 Speaker 13: It's a little bit of both. 1888 01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:10,120 Speaker 16: Really, AI is ultimately a tool that if I had 1889 01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:14,560 Speaker 16: to put it one way, it sort of accelerates human capability. 1890 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 16: It is mental labor at the press of a button, 1891 01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 16: so we're able to do so much more, so much faster. 1892 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:23,120 Speaker 16: This is a good thing and a bad thing because 1893 01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 16: it comes down to the user and what they're doing 1894 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,960 Speaker 16: with it in terms of you know, what you can 1895 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,960 Speaker 16: make with it. I made that whole short film that 1896 01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:32,280 Speaker 16: reached out to people and touched a lot of people 1897 01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 16: with AI. 1898 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:37,320 Speaker 13: There's applications with cancer. We're mapping the genome. 1899 01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,799 Speaker 16: I just heard something about people in California actually locating 1900 01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 16: wildfires using AI that is trained to locate and recognize wildfires. 1901 01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,920 Speaker 16: But on the other side, bad actors can use these 1902 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,599 Speaker 16: same exact things to cause a great deal of harm. 1903 01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:56,320 Speaker 16: And I don't think society is quite equipped for that 1904 01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:58,760 Speaker 16: sort of scam or misinformation. 1905 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:02,160 Speaker 1: Yet it's your takeaway from you know, faking it out 1906 01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:06,200 Speaker 1: on Instagram, Like, did your real friends take issue with that? 1907 01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:11,920 Speaker 16: It's funny to this day, people don't believe anything I post. 1908 01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:14,920 Speaker 16: And I made this video over a year ago in 1909 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,080 Speaker 16: the Ted Talk. In fact, I mention that when I 1910 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 16: posted I'm doing a Ted Talk, people were like, is 1911 01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:22,320 Speaker 16: this AI? You said at the top of the call, 1912 01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:24,360 Speaker 16: Is this AI? Wherever I go, I get the question 1913 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,400 Speaker 16: is this AI? And I think my life has sort 1914 01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:29,920 Speaker 16: of become a microcosm of what is going to happen 1915 01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:34,559 Speaker 16: to the world at large society moving forward. We are 1916 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,720 Speaker 16: in a post truth era right now, but I think 1917 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,719 Speaker 16: we're going to sort of get into a post evidence 1918 01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,120 Speaker 16: era where not only are we not seeking the truth, 1919 01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 16: there's going to be no way to categorically and quantifiably 1920 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:49,559 Speaker 16: prove something to be real for a while at least. 1921 01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 2: That's really scary. 1922 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:54,840 Speaker 1: And I often talk about kind of something similar where 1923 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, these AI systems right now are being fed 1924 01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:01,639 Speaker 1: data from things that we've done, right, books, people have written, articles, 1925 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 1: people have written. But then all of a sudden, we're 1926 01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna start They're gonna like feed upon themselves because half 1927 01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 1: the pictures are going to be generated by AI, and 1928 01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:11,320 Speaker 1: they're looking at those pictures and it becomes like, you know, 1929 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,639 Speaker 1: and you saw that meme online where people were saying, 1930 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,680 Speaker 1: like make it bigger or make it more, you know, 1931 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:18,559 Speaker 1: and they just kept feeding the same picture into AI, 1932 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:20,400 Speaker 1: saying make it more, make it more, make it the 1933 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:23,120 Speaker 1: best pizza make it even better. And that's kind of 1934 01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,720 Speaker 1: what's going to happen with like everything online, because these 1935 01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:27,640 Speaker 1: systems are just being fed themselves. 1936 01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 16: These systems are already being trained on themselves. Researchers have 1937 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:37,200 Speaker 16: realized that, especially for things like llms, that the amount 1938 01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:41,200 Speaker 16: of data you need to train AI, which the way 1939 01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:42,280 Speaker 16: AI learns. 1940 01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:43,559 Speaker 13: Is the brute force method. 1941 01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:45,880 Speaker 16: It's not like a kid who touches a stove and learns, oh, 1942 01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:49,639 Speaker 16: stove hot. AI has to learn every type of image 1943 01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,080 Speaker 16: of a stove, every angle of a stove, and every 1944 01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:55,200 Speaker 16: type of temperature to understand that stove hot. So to 1945 01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:57,680 Speaker 16: generate that much data, you can't even scrape it. So 1946 01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,880 Speaker 16: they're feeding that them already back into themselves already. And 1947 01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:02,720 Speaker 16: I don't know what the ramifications so that are going 1948 01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:02,960 Speaker 16: to be. 1949 01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:05,720 Speaker 2: So how do you prove that you're real? Now that 1950 01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:07,000 Speaker 2: people are wondering. 1951 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,640 Speaker 16: Well, I know that there are people currently working on 1952 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:15,280 Speaker 16: tokenizing images, and Canon I believe is working on this. 1953 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:17,640 Speaker 16: There's a few companies working on being like this is 1954 01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:19,799 Speaker 16: an image taken on a physical camera. 1955 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,639 Speaker 13: I'm not sure what happens once that gets off the camera. 1956 01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,320 Speaker 16: If there's going to be software on the computers that 1957 01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:27,160 Speaker 16: continue to say and this was edited by a human 1958 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:28,360 Speaker 16: and what have you. And I'm sure that will be 1959 01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:30,000 Speaker 16: faked at some point, but there are people trying to 1960 01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,760 Speaker 16: crack this right now. The only thing that you can 1961 01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:37,519 Speaker 16: prove is in person human human interaction. We our lives 1962 01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:42,040 Speaker 16: are so online already and so digital already that they 1963 01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 16: are going to become so embedded with fake things that 1964 01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,640 Speaker 16: you know, it doesn't it's going to sort of just 1965 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:54,839 Speaker 16: become a different but fully realized reality. 1966 01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:56,320 Speaker 13: You could choose to live there if you want. 1967 01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:58,519 Speaker 1: It's so weird now that you say that, Like, I'm 1968 01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,640 Speaker 1: looking at you right now. You're on video chat with 1969 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:03,760 Speaker 1: me on the back end of the radio show. 1970 01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:06,040 Speaker 2: But you know, I don't know if you're real. 1971 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,120 Speaker 1: Like if I think about it with this whole Apple 1972 01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:10,800 Speaker 1: Vision pro you know, they have those things called personas, 1973 01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:13,400 Speaker 1: which is like a digital version of you that you 1974 01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:17,160 Speaker 1: can FaceTime with someone because you're wearing a headset, so 1975 01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,320 Speaker 1: it can't you know, it can't see you. The person 1976 01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:20,760 Speaker 1: doesn't want to look at you in a headset, so 1977 01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:23,439 Speaker 1: it makes up this digital version of you. But if 1978 01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:25,840 Speaker 1: you think about that, in the future, anyone could be 1979 01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:27,719 Speaker 1: behind that. I mean, it's almost like the old days 1980 01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:29,679 Speaker 1: of chat where you didn't really know if you're chatting 1981 01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,639 Speaker 1: with your friend or like, you know, someone random. 1982 01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:37,320 Speaker 16: What people need to realize is because AI can so 1983 01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:42,880 Speaker 16: drastically accelerate human work. This applies to scams as well, 1984 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:45,639 Speaker 16: and the same sort of scams that you can imagine 1985 01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:47,559 Speaker 16: happened prior to AI are still going on. 1986 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 13: They're just a lot better. 1987 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:53,639 Speaker 16: People have had disguises before, but you know, nowadays, some 1988 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,840 Speaker 16: sick individual could deep fake themselves or deep bake a 1989 01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:00,960 Speaker 16: different person on a zoom call. Hey Mom, I need 1990 01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,320 Speaker 16: to borrow one hundred dollars or more than that. I'm 1991 01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:04,960 Speaker 16: you know, I'm in prison right now. I need you 1992 01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 16: to pay my bail whatever wire it to this and 1993 01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 16: these same things could have worked before, but now they 1994 01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,400 Speaker 16: are going to become so much more convincing, and the 1995 01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:17,240 Speaker 16: targets are going to be able to be random Grandma's 1996 01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:21,320 Speaker 16: in the middle of America because these can be done 1997 01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:24,600 Speaker 16: at scale. Now it's not manual labor like photoshop. You 1998 01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,400 Speaker 16: could have scripts that are doing this training by themselves. 1999 01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,240 Speaker 1: What about Hollywood, I mean, already, you know we've seen 2000 01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 1: movies where they affect actors' faces and they change them. 2001 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,240 Speaker 1: And obviously makeup has always been effects have always been 2002 01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 1: a part of that. But with AI, it's just going 2003 01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,320 Speaker 1: to be a whole new world for Hollywood. 2004 01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:45,760 Speaker 16: That's another double edged sword, right, because what's going to 2005 01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:50,920 Speaker 16: happen is, like with CGI, it's going to raise the 2006 01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,800 Speaker 16: bar of production what you're able to attain. It's also 2007 01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,240 Speaker 16: going to lower the cost of certain things, so smaller 2008 01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:00,680 Speaker 16: crews can get away with better quality things. Nowadays, a 2009 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:05,240 Speaker 16: kid in his garage can, using free tools and a 2010 01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,880 Speaker 16: few lights and a green screen and her phone can 2011 01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:11,000 Speaker 16: make a fantasy epic where they are in knight with 2012 01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:13,640 Speaker 16: you know, and they're fighting a big CGI dragon. They 2013 01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,360 Speaker 16: can do this already, So the way it's going to 2014 01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 16: work in Hollywood, it's going to be great. I mean, 2015 01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,599 Speaker 16: especially for people on the post side, there is a 2016 01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,919 Speaker 16: world where this does make their lives a lot easier 2017 01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,640 Speaker 16: because they're already overworked. On the flip side of that, 2018 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:31,360 Speaker 16: when you start to replace people with AI, that's when 2019 01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,360 Speaker 16: you start to get into the weeds. Humans have been 2020 01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:37,800 Speaker 16: telling stories around campfires for thousands of years. Storytelling is 2021 01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 16: intrinsic to human nature, So why would you want to 2022 01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:43,840 Speaker 16: replace that with a computer in a writer's room, or 2023 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:45,960 Speaker 16: you know, just with a generated video. Why would you 2024 01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,599 Speaker 16: want to replace that at that point? Just have AI 2025 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 16: raise your kid or have dinner with your wife. 2026 01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 13: You're not a human anymore, you know. These are the 2027 01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 13: joys we have. 2028 01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,400 Speaker 1: Should we be excited about this? Scared about it? A 2029 01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:59,720 Speaker 1: combination of both? What's your guidance after going through this 2030 01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:03,600 Speaker 1: side writing this book and also the documentary. 2031 01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,040 Speaker 16: I think that there is a path forward for this 2032 01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:09,840 Speaker 16: to be a very optimistic future. I think there's going 2033 01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:12,680 Speaker 16: to be a rough adjustment period here. There is a 2034 01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:15,160 Speaker 16: universe where a lot of people online you may have 2035 01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 16: heard of this phrase of the singularity. I mean, it's 2036 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,080 Speaker 16: all it's practically its own religion online of people saying, 2037 01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:22,120 Speaker 16: you know, there's going to become a time where these 2038 01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:24,280 Speaker 16: ais are going to be able to do so many 2039 01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:27,320 Speaker 16: different things and do so so fast that it's going 2040 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:30,080 Speaker 16: to solve all the world's problems. I think that's a 2041 01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:33,400 Speaker 16: bit sunny of a view towards the future. But I 2042 01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:35,400 Speaker 16: think a lot of problems will be cracked by these 2043 01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,479 Speaker 16: because these things can think faster than us and can 2044 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,639 Speaker 16: do incredibly boring jobs for quite long. 2045 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:42,200 Speaker 13: Periods of time. 2046 01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:46,439 Speaker 16: But on the flip side, realistically, in the very near future, 2047 01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:48,200 Speaker 16: until we're all up to speed on this, it's going 2048 01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:49,880 Speaker 16: to be like the early days of the internet. We're 2049 01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:53,000 Speaker 16: going to be trying to weed out disinformation. This is 2050 01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,360 Speaker 16: an election year and we are not equipped for what's 2051 01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:57,120 Speaker 16: coming down the pike. 2052 01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we already saw the fake AI Biden 2053 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:04,320 Speaker 1: call in New Hampshire and you know it was telling 2054 01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,840 Speaker 1: people not to vote. But do you think we're going 2055 01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:08,759 Speaker 1: to see I mean, I know we're going to see 2056 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,320 Speaker 1: a ton of stuff online that you just you just 2057 01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:13,040 Speaker 1: don't know what to trust anymore. Is that is that 2058 01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:15,240 Speaker 1: the future we're heading to, or we just see an 2059 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:18,080 Speaker 1: image and unless that person, like you said, is right 2060 01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,519 Speaker 1: in front of us as a human, we will not 2061 01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:21,840 Speaker 1: be able to tell if it's real or fake. 2062 01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:24,759 Speaker 13: Right. I think it's going to be pretty tough. 2063 01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,280 Speaker 16: I think what people need to prepare themselves, especially in 2064 01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:29,160 Speaker 16: this election year, is, yeah, you know. 2065 01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:31,519 Speaker 13: These these things like that, these one off things. 2066 01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 16: I think people are getting a little bit more privy 2067 01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:37,520 Speaker 16: to They're able to debunk them a little bit more effectively. 2068 01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 16: I think what where you see a lot of issue 2069 01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:44,120 Speaker 16: is rapidly developing situations. I have already seen so much 2070 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:47,240 Speaker 16: AI disinformation coming out of what's going on in Gaza, 2071 01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,559 Speaker 16: and I'm not sure who's behind it, honestly, because it 2072 01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,760 Speaker 16: could be either party, it could be a third party. 2073 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:54,599 Speaker 13: Who has their own agenda. 2074 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,040 Speaker 16: There is just a lot of things where there is 2075 01:39:57,120 --> 01:40:00,639 Speaker 16: straight up AI generated images that all this informations coming 2076 01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:03,639 Speaker 16: from socials when rapidly developing situations, and you can't as 2077 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,280 Speaker 16: easily vet these things as a user as maybe a 2078 01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 16: news network might be able to over a longer period 2079 01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:09,840 Speaker 16: of time. 2080 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,840 Speaker 1: Imagine we're gonna have to leave it there, Kyle, We're 2081 01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to do it there because I want to 2082 01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:17,400 Speaker 1: get your information before we have to go to break. 2083 01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:19,960 Speaker 1: What's the best way for folks to follow what you do? 2084 01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:22,120 Speaker 13: Thanks for cutting me off to plug myself. 2085 01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,200 Speaker 16: Yeah, you can find me at Kyle Vorbach online on 2086 01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:27,360 Speaker 16: everything that's it. 2087 01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:28,639 Speaker 13: It's a little top to spell. 2088 01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:30,000 Speaker 16: But if you can't find it, look up how I 2089 01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:31,919 Speaker 16: Faked my Life with AI on YouTube. 2090 01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:33,400 Speaker 13: You'll find all of my stuff there. 2091 01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:37,439 Speaker 1: Okay, Kyle vorboch vo r Bach How I Faked my 2092 01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:40,519 Speaker 1: Life with AI?

No, I don't. I don't think that's 2108 01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:29,320 Speaker 1: a good idea. 2109 01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:30,679 Speaker 2: I know it's. 2110 01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:33,479 Speaker 1: Password protected, but I still don't think that's a very 2111 01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:35,559 Speaker 1: good idea to keep them in there. I would recommend 2112 01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:42,080 Speaker 1: a password manager because unless you're generating really strong, unique passwords, 2113 01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:44,840 Speaker 1: it sounds like you're making them up yourself, and that 2114 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:49,080 Speaker 1: can only go so far. Hackers can crack even pretty 2115 01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:52,920 Speaker 1: long passwords that you come up with in seconds using 2116 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:57,680 Speaker 1: software you really need like a fourteen to sixteen random 2117 01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,840 Speaker 1: character password for it to be uncrackable, at least by 2118 01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:04,920 Speaker 1: today's standards. So for a free program, I would recommend Bitwarden, 2119 01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 1: or you can use what's built into Google or iPhone. 2120 01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:10,840 Speaker 2: They both work pretty well. 2121 01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:13,439 Speaker 1: The iPhone one, I'd only recommend if you're only using 2122 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:18,120 Speaker 1: Apple products. Coleman says, hey, Rich, my iPhone seven has 2123 01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:22,559 Speaker 1: a logjam for my AOL emails. I cannot send or receive. 2124 01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:25,080 Speaker 1: Texting works great, Facebook and Google work. How do I 2125 01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:28,919 Speaker 1: unblock it? Coleman, I'd recommend going to the AOL website. 2126 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,320 Speaker 1: It sounds like you are over your allotment for your emails, 2127 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,400 Speaker 1: so go to the AOL website and free up some space. 2128 01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:39,519 Speaker 1: So go to aol dot com instead of accessing it 2129 01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,280 Speaker 1: through your phone and see what the hold up is. 2130 01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:45,760 Speaker 1: There's probably the storage is probably full, so delete some 2131 01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:49,000 Speaker 1: old emails, especially the large ones with attachments, and. 2132 01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:50,120 Speaker 2: You should be good to go there. 2133 01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:53,800 Speaker 1: Fred says, hey Rich, If the soundbar, this is in 2134 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:55,920 Speaker 1: reference to something we talked about today. If the soundbar 2135 01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,479 Speaker 1: is connected to the TV with fiber optic, most likely 2136 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,240 Speaker 1: the sound and video out of sync. If it's connected 2137 01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:04,519 Speaker 1: via HDMI or good old fashioned red and white RCA cable. 2138 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:07,040 Speaker 1: There should be nothing out of sync. That is true 2139 01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:10,479 Speaker 1: because mine is connected by fiber optics still, and I 2140 01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,120 Speaker 1: do have to adjust the sink. Bill says on today's show, 2141 01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned ring and the value of the subscription for 2142 01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:20,799 Speaker 1: storing recordings in the cloud. Note that second tiered doorbell 2143 01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,200 Speaker 1: camera vendors often offer limited storage for free, such as 2144 01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:27,519 Speaker 1: the UFI system I have. Having the cloud storage included 2145 01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:30,519 Speaker 1: and avoiding subscription fees was the main reason I went UFI. 2146 01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,400 Speaker 2: That is true, Bill, A lot of people like UFI 2147 01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:33,760 Speaker 2: for that. 2148 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,280 Speaker 1: Reason, but I do weren't there some recent changes with 2149 01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:39,439 Speaker 1: UFI where people get all up in arms, But I 2150 01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:41,800 Speaker 1: think that that's the main reason people like Ufe's because 2151 01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,519 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily have to have a subscription to use that. 2152 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:49,679 Speaker 1: Whys is similar. A lot of people went Wise. But again, 2153 01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,680 Speaker 1: all of these companies are pushing people towards subscription, so 2154 01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:56,720 Speaker 1: they're making the features that you get without a subscription 2155 01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,000 Speaker 1: less and less every single day. So you can chew 2156 01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:05,280 Speaker 1: that now, but that could change. Looks like another another 2157 01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:09,960 Speaker 1: one from Fred. Fred says antennae is plural for antenna. Oh, 2158 01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:14,280 Speaker 1: there you go, Rich. Cindy says, I love your broadcast. 2159 01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:16,960 Speaker 1: A comment in regards to your TVs watching you. We 2160 01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:19,559 Speaker 1: read the book Fahrenheit four fifty one. It'll scare the 2161 01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,040 Speaker 1: beep out of you. I had to read it in 2162 01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:25,120 Speaker 1: high school, so did my kids. TVs will still watch 2163 01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:26,920 Speaker 1: you even when they have them turned off. I think 2164 01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,479 Speaker 1: you can check before you buy if your TVs cameras 2165 01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:34,040 Speaker 1: or camera capabilities. Don't even think about that kind of TV, Cindy, 2166 01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:36,600 Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I read Fahrenheit four to 2167 01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:38,800 Speaker 1: fifty one, and all the stuff that I read in 2168 01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,599 Speaker 1: these books that were written years and years ago all. 2169 01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:42,639 Speaker 2: End up coming true. 2170 01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how these people figured it out in 2171 01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:48,000 Speaker 1: the past, but yes, your TV is watching you, your 2172 01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:51,360 Speaker 1: phone is watching you, your computer is watching you right now. 2173 01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:52,960 Speaker 2: They say that those cameras. 2174 01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:55,360 Speaker 1: Are not in use when they are off, and most 2175 01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:57,599 Speaker 1: of these systems have some sort of physical shut off 2176 01:44:57,600 --> 01:44:59,960 Speaker 1: when the lid is closed or you're not using an 2177 01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:02,559 Speaker 1: or they have a light that lets you know. But 2178 01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:05,440 Speaker 1: it is scary and you have to take your own precautions. 2179 01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:07,479 Speaker 2: Let's see. 2180 01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:11,320 Speaker 1: M says, thanks for the my shake tips because in 2181 01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:13,519 Speaker 1: my office my phone was the only one that made 2182 01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,920 Speaker 1: the audible alert where the phone actually said earthquake out 2183 01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:20,679 Speaker 1: loud even though my phone was on silent mode. Yes, 2184 01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:23,920 Speaker 1: I did share that tip about the my Shake app, 2185 01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,200 Speaker 1: and it does. It taps into what's called a critical 2186 01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:30,400 Speaker 1: alert system on the iPhone and that means that it 2187 01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:33,439 Speaker 1: can still make a noise on your phone even if 2188 01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:36,920 Speaker 1: it's on silent and only certain apps can do that 2189 01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:38,559 Speaker 1: and you have to give it permission to do that, 2190 01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: but my Shake is one of them. That's how my 2191 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,840 Speaker 1: phone went off because my phone was on silent as well, 2192 01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:48,800 Speaker 1: and the earthquake alert still came through. So my Shake again, 2193 01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,960 Speaker 1: iOS and Android. If you're an earthquake country like we are, 2194 01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:54,719 Speaker 1: Oscar says, just a heads up. I bought a Samsung 2195 01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:58,400 Speaker 1: seventy five inch seventy five inch at best Buy in January. 2196 01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:00,559 Speaker 1: They had forty of them. I got it for five 2197 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,120 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight dollars. What a world we live in? 2198 01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:06,880 Speaker 1: A seventy five inch TV for five hundred and ninety 2199 01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:10,559 Speaker 1: eight dollars. That is incredible. While enjoy the new TV, 2200 01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:13,479 Speaker 1: I will certainly enjoy mine watching the Super Bowl in 2201 01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:15,639 Speaker 1: four K tomorrow, even if it's upscaled. 2202 01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 2: I'm not going to complain. 2203 01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:19,160 Speaker 1: If you can believe it, that is going to do 2204 01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,519 Speaker 1: it for this episode of the show.
