18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: chief architect at Tools for Humanity. They're gonna explain how

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: World Network is building a more private and secure way

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: to prove that you are human online and why that matters.

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Then later in the show, we've got Logan Seacrest, fellow

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: at the r. Street Institute to discuss how AI is

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: being used in police body cameras. Well. I hope you're

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: having a fantastic weekend. We are well into the summer,

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: the kids are off from school. In fact, I've got

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: them right here with me, my kids joining me in

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: the studio. I guess they can't really say high because

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: they're not can you say high?

29
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: Or the hello?

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: Oh there you go? Okay, we've got Parker. Go ahead, Tanner.

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: We've got Parker and Tanner in the studio. Very exciting.

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Tanner is actually in charge of this week's playlist, so

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: direct all comments about the songs to him. This week,

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: I've been testing Samsung's new foldable phones, so I've been

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: playing with the Flip seven and the Fold seven. I

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: also tried my first ever Wiener Schnitzel. If you've ever

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: heard of that. It's a Southern California I guess they

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: started in Southern California chain hot dog chain, and I

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: did try the chili cheese dog there, and well there

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: was a reason for it. They're using AI at the

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: drive through. So that's why I was there, not just

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you that. I also shot that on

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: the Fold seven so you can see that picture. I

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: posted that picture to my Facebook not knowing you know,

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: what people would think about it, and the thing like

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: goes viral. It's like just a hot dog. Who would

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: have thought. Also, this week, I've been playing a lot

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: with Gemini because Gemini is built into the Samsung phones.

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: So I will tell you I am very impressed with Gemini.

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: There is a lot that that AI can do, especially

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: because of the Google integration. But I will tell you

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: at one point I did try to replace my old

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: favorite CHATCHBT with Gemini for everything, and I'll be honest,

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't. Chatchibt still feels faster and more intuitive, like

55
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: just feels like a superhuman companion to me, whereas Gemini

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: really shines with like tech, current news, and also pulling

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: from your Gmail, your calendar, your drive, all of your

58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Google services. And I'll get into why that's so important

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: in a moment. But then my thoughts on these foldables

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: from Samsung, so number one, the fold seven, like I

61
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: said earlier, finally has a usable front screen, very practical.

62
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I'm using this phone which opens

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: up like a book, and it's great, but I just

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: don't understand why I need a tablet in my pocket

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: at all times. Maybe I just don't have the use

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: case scenario. I love to read things on my phone.

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: I like to watch videos on my phone, But I'm

68
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: not sure why I need to carry a phone that

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: is not as good as a standard phone at all times.

70
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Just for those couple of times when I need a tablet,

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I'd rather just carry a tablet. Now, the Flip seven,

72
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: this is the one that opens up like a clamshell,

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I will tell you is much more appealing. And why

74
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: because you can use the rear cameras for all of

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: your photos and videos. What does that mean? You're always

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: taking your photos and videos, including your selfies, with the

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: best cameras on that device, because you can use the

78
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: front screen as a monitor. So right now we record

79
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: the first ten minutes of the show to be played

80
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: on KTLA plus, the streaming app, And right now I

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: can actually see myself I'm waving in the front screen

82
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: of the Flip seven, which is really cool, and so

83
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: that makes it actually very useful. It's perfect for content creators.

84
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: But here's my question. Would that be enough for the

85
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: average iPhone user to switch? I'm not sure I'm just

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: giving you a grab bag this morning. You're getting a

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff. I also watched a movie on

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Prime called Heads of State, which I started on my

89
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: way back from London, and I finished it last night,

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: and I got to tell you, if you have Prime Video,

91
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: fun action packed way better than I expected. And I

92
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: got to say, Prime Video might be my favorite streaming

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: service right now, just because I can load it up

94
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: on as many apps and devices that I'm testing and

95
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't say sorry, you can't watch stuff like Netflix.

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: I don't even install my devices anymore because too many

97
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: people in my family are using it and so I,

98
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: the one who pays for it, can't use it. Also, ironically,

99
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: when I was in London, they had Marine one on

100
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: the waterfront there and that was a promo for the

101
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Heads of State film, So I never even heard of

102
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: it until I saw that, and that's what made me

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: watch it all right. So this week I got very

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: obsessed with this idea of building an AI powered notebook,

105
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: and because I was using Gemini, because I had Gemini

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: on my wrist with the Samsung Watch, I was like,

107
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if I can capture ideas quote gift ideas,

108
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: the funny things my kids say all in this notebook

109
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: that could be searchable later, and I figured out through

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: the magic of Gemini and Google Keep, you can do

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: this and it's basically free. So think about this. You're

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: out and about. You want your phone to remember something,

113
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: you want this notebook to remember something. All you have

114
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: to do is say to Gemini, you know, hey, Google,

115
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: take a note that my locker code is twelve twenty

116
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: five thirty two, and it will make a note in

117
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Google Keep and remember that. And then later all you

118
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: have to do is say, you know, hey Gemini or

119
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: hey Google, check my notes for my locker code, and

120
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: it will go into those notes and search and read

121
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: it back to you and say, here's your locker code. Now,

122
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: think about the powerful nature of that. You can use

123
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: that to build a basically a memory system for anything

124
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: that you're coming across in your week. And I'm sure

125
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: you probably already email yourself little notes or write down

126
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: little notes in your phone, but to have it all

127
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: voice activated is very powerful. And the fact that it's

128
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: AI makes it very useful because it doesn't have to

129
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: be the perfect syntax like most of us with voice

130
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: commands in the past, you had to know how to

131
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: use them. And with this, because it's AI, it can

132
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: really understand and a whole lot of things. So, for instance,

133
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: I've got notes about people that I meet right like,

134
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: I might say, remember that this person's name or this

135
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: person's spouse's name is, you know whatever. Remember that their

136
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: kids are four and seven and one of them goes

137
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: to this school and one of them likes this. Oh,

138
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: remember that I want to get a gift for that

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: person for Christmas, and it's going to be this. And

140
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: so you can ask Gemini later, Hey, tell me everything

141
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: I know about that person and say the person's name,

142
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and it will give you a synopsis of everything that

143
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: you've put in your notes. Now, I've done this with

144
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: my kids with the little funny things they say. And

145
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: so I've got all these little quotes throughout the years

146
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: that my kids have said, and I could just ask

147
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: jem and I hate Gemini check my notes and tell

148
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: me some of the funny things my kids have said

149
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: over the years, and it will just rattle off a

150
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: bunch of those things. So again, this works with Google Calendar,

151
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: Gmail photos, drive tasks, and the trick is if you okay,

152
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: So here's the thing I've realized about this whole system

153
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: with the AI, AI is always going to default to

154
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: sort of like the whole world at large. Like if

155
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: you said, you know, what's the capital of Utah, it

156
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: would just search the web and find that for you,

157
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: or search it knowledge base. But if you wanted your

158
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: personal data, you have to preface it with check my

159
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: calendar for when I'm going to Utah, or check my

160
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Gmail for information I have gotten about Utah, or check

161
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: my photos for the best picture I've taken in Utah.

162
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: That's how you get it to look into your data.

163
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: It's a very important differentiation because if you just say

164
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: what's my locker code, Gemini is not going to know.

165
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: You have to say, check my notes for my locker code.

166
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: And that's really the trick. So my homework for you

167
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: is to start adding a few notes to Google Keep,

168
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: gift ideas, favorite places you've been, whatever you want, and

169
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: then just start getting into the habit of asking Gemini

170
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: to retrieve that information or see And by the way,

171
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: you can paste information into Google Keep as well. You

172
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: don't have to use your voice to save it all.

173
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: You can actually go on on your computer. Like the

174
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: other day, I just dumped a whole bunch of notes

175
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: into there so that I can retrieve them later. And

176
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: this is I feel like this is really powerful. It

177
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of what Apple promised us with Siri,

178
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: because when Siri, the AI version of Siri, was supposed

179
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: to come out this Apple Intelligence, Apple on stage promised

180
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: us the ability to search in our email, to search

181
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: in our calendar, to search in our notes, to use

182
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: all of that rich data that's on our iPhone and

183
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: have it at our fingertips, all indexed and searchable and

184
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: available through AI. That never came to fruition on the iPhone,

185
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: and Apple has admitted that it's been tougher than they

186
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: thought to do this, and it's probably going to be

187
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: delayed in the next year or so. But you can

188
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: have this right now. And so I'm just telling you

189
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Gemini plus all the Google stuff that you're already using.

190
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, this works on the iPhone, this

191
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: works on Android. This is platform agnostic. It's a little

192
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: bit easier to access on Android because your power button

193
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: calls up Gemini instantly, but on the iPhone, you can

194
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: activate Gemini through the app, through a widget, or through

195
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: the action button. As well, so really really cool system.

196
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: I am loving it, and I feel like I am

197
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more superhuman because of what I've created here,

198
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna keep this going. All right, Let's

199

Speaker 1: take some of your calls eight eight eight rich one

Speaker 1: rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four

208
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: to two four one zero one one. You ever start

209
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: watching a movie and just like can care less about it?

210
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: This has happened to me, Like last night, sit down,

211
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: I watch this movie called Drop. It's like it's literally

212
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: a movie about air drop, like murdering someone like through

213
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: air drop. Like what I don't know. I mean, maybe

214
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I should have given it more time, but I it's

215
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: like when you're like forty minutes into a movie and

216
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: you don't care about the people in the movie. You

217
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: don't care what happens in the movie. It's like, you

218
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: gotta give up on the movie. I don't know how

219
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: this is the number one movie right now on streaming.

220
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that people stream whatever's on that top ten list,

221
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: no matter how bad it is. Although this does get

222
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: eighty four percent of Rotten Tomatoes, so maybe I have

223
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: to give it another chance. But the whole movie takes

224
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: place in one place and this girl is getting like

225
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: air drops that are like threatening her life, and it's like,

226
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: come on, really, it just it was so unrealistic there.

227
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. I really I couldn't get

228
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: into it. But if you like it, let me know

229
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: you can. You can challenge me on the website. Rich

230
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: on Tech TV. All right, let's go to our first

231
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: caller line one, Tanner Brian. You're on with Rich.

232
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: Hey, Rich, nice to hear you same.

233
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: What can I help you with?

234
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: I have Okay, let me give you a little background.

235
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: I have an iPhone sixteen E okay, and I have

236
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: a new Abama phone. The company is called Max West.

237
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: Okay, I cannot transfer.

238
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: I was able to transfer some of my information from

239
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: the the iPhone to this phone. But it won't do

240
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: any photos. I'm gonna lose my photos.

241
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're trying to get the photos from the

242
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: iPhone to this This is an Android phone, I'm guessing right.

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, it's a it's a newer version of the

244
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: Obama phone.

245
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Okay, what did you have a model number on it?

246
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, shoot a model? No it doesn't, I

247
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: mean it doesn't. I'm just curious. I looked up the

248
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: website Max West. Okay, Max West. It's the first I'm

249
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: hearing of this brand. Well, there are many How many

250
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: pictures do you have on the iPhone that you want

251
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: to transfer?

252
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: Like literally like ten?

253
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, super super easy. Can you install apps on

254
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: the Max West Yes?

255
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: I can.

256
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Okay. So the app that you want to get is

257
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: called Local Send l O C A L S E

258
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: N D and Mobile Mobile Scent Local Send o Local okay,

259
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Local Scent. And it works across everything. It'll work on

260
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: the iPhone, it'll work on Android, it'll work on your

261
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: Mac computer, it'll work on Windows, it'll work on Linux

262
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: if you like Linux. Okay. And basically, you install this

263
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: app on your iPhone and you install it on the Android,

264
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: you open it up. As long as they are on

265
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: the same Wi Fi network, they will find each other

266
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: and you can transfer.

267
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how I did it. Actually, I was able

268
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: to link up. I'm here in Brea, so I was

269
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: able to link my phones up at the Bran mall.

270
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: Okay, but for some reason it just.

271
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: Didn't want to it didn't want to download the photos.

272
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 3: So you said it's called wet again.

273
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: Local send is the is the app local okay, localsend

274
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: dot org. Now, if you don't want to use local send,

275
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: there's another way you can do it. Uh, there's if

276
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: you don't want to download software. If that's too complicated,

277
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: you can go to what's called pair drop P A

278
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: I R D R O P pair drop dot net

279
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: and that does not require a software download, same exact thing.

280
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: And so it's it's funny that I mentioned air drop

281
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: and that movie drop, because that's basically what I'm talking

282
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: about here. These are all just versions of air drop

283
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: that work across devices. The big trick is that the

284
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: devices have to be on the same network for them

285
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: to work. So the way that air drop and why

286
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: that's so convenient on the iPhone is that it basically

287
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: creates what's called an ad hawk network between those two phones,

288
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: so every single iPhone that's near every other iPhone in

289
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: the world can talk to each other without a cellular network.

290
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: And so what they do is they say, Oh, I

291
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: see another iPhone over there, do you want to connect

292
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: directly to that phone. That's really what airdrop is doing.

293
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: And the way it's sort of parsing through those other

294
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: phones is that you know, nowadays you have to be

295
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: connected to that other phone. It used to be a

296
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: lot easier to sort of air drop other people. That's

297
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: why they change that setting. If you go into your

298
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: air drop settings, you'll notice that now it says everyone

299
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: for ten minutes, whereas it used to just say everyone

300
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: because people would get on an airplane and they would

301
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: air drop random people, pictures and things like that, which

302
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: I've done in the past just to be funny. But

303
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: now I wouldn't do that because too many security issues

304
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: with that. They've stopped. They've like they've like turned planes

305
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: around because of that antics. You can't do that anymore.

306
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, so these these apps they kind of do

307
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: the same thing, except the problem is inherently iPhones do

308
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: not speak to androids ad hoc So that means that

309
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: iPhone may be able to see that there's an Android nearby,

310
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: and Android can certainly see that there's an iPhone nearby,

311
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: but there's not a good protocol for those two phones

312
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: to connect and link up the way air drop does

313
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: between iPhones. Now, on Android, there is something called quick

314
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Share and that is the same exact thing as air drop,

315
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: but that is just for androids. So any Android can

316
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: also connect to another Android without any additional software, with

317
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: something called quick Share, and that is built into every

318
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: modern Android phone. The thing is, and I'll be honest,

319
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: this is an Apple issue. Apple does not want to

320
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: open up air drop to androids. Whereas Android would gladly

321
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: open up quick Share to iPhone, Apple does not allow that.

322
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: That's really what's going on here is that Apple is

323
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: very proprietary with their air drop system and they do

324
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: not want to open it up, nor do they want

325
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: to make it easy for androids to send things to

326
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: the iPhone. So that's how those two apps will get

327
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: around it. You gotta be on the same Wi Fi

328
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: network local send and pair drop. Check them out, all right?

329
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: Coming up, where ring cameras really hacked. I'll explain what's

330
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: going on there, plus more of your calls at eight

331
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: eight eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

332
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. This is rich

333
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro

334
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you talking technology at triple eight

335
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four to

336
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: two four one zero one, the website rich on Tech

337
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: dot TV. Hope you're having a great day. I am

338
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: getting into the summer here. Summer's like halfway through, which

339
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe. So one thing I love about you, know,

340
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: being on TV, being on the radio, is that you

341
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: are my eyes and ears. Now I cover a lot

342
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: of stuff. I track a lot of stuff, but I

343
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: can't see everything in real time all the time. And

344
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: that's where you come in. And so when something happens,

345
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: when there is something that's bubbling up, I call it

346
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: a text message scam that's new, a viral video about

347
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: something in the tech world, an email that people are getting.

348
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: When a lot of people get that, they turn to

349
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: me and they forward that information to me or they

350
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: message me and say, hey, rich what's the deal with this?

351
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's really tough because I'm getting it so

352
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: early that there's nothing about it. So you can't search

353
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Google News for the information, you can't go anywhere for

354
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: the information. It's something that's brand new, and so I

355
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: have to use my spidy sense to kind of just

356
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: search it and figure it out and say, Okay, what's

357
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: going on here. I've gotten five emails about this. Clearly

358
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: this is happening to a lot of people. Well, that's

359
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: what happened the other day. I woke up to a

360
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: bunch of people saying, Rich, what's the deal with Ring

361
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: being hacked? Ring was hacked on May twenty eighth, and

362
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: if you log into your account, you can see that

363
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people logged in to these various accounts.

364
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: I said, wait, what that sounds a little weird. And

365
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: the reason it sounded weird because Ring has had two

366
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: factor authentication now for four years. They did have an

367
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: issue many years ago where people were able to get

368
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: into cameras because people were not setting very good passwords.

369
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: And so when your password is password one, two, three,

370
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: guess what, the hackers are going to figure that out

371
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. And so there was kind of a rash

372
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: of nationwide people not necessarily scam artists, but they were

373
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: just kind of having fun with people with their Ring cameras.

374
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: You know, they'd log in and they would talk to

375
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: the people in their houses, and of course they could

376
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: access things. And so Ring tracked it down. They said,

377
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: these aren't really hacks per se, but people are just

378
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: using really bad passwords that people are guessing or they're

379
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: sharing them, or they're the same password online, and so

380
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: people were using those to log in. So Ring said,

381
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: you know what, from here on out, everyone must have

382
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: two factor authentication. And if you're familiar with what that is,

383
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: that means when you log into a website, it doesn't

384
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: just log you in. It says, okay, we've texted you

385
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: a code or you've emailed you a code. Now you

386
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: have to enter that. And so Ring made that the default,

387
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: and that cracked down on all of that stuff because

388
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: now the hacker would have to have your your silly

389
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: password and access to your email, your text. Well anyway,

390
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: so that was in the back of my mind. But

391
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: this TikTok user and this you know, these things always

392
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: start on TikTok. Somehow, all the best reporters in the

393
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: world are some random person talking to their phone in

394
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: their basement on TikTok. And that gets that gets spread.

395
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: This video had millions of views. It was some person

396
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: that was like, look, go to your Ring account, check

397
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: your logins, check your authorized devices. If you see a

398
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: May twenty eighth login, someone's been watching your videos. Now

399
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: come on. I was like, give me a break, but

400
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: we'll hear her out. And she also said she got

401
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: weird creepy texts after people were watching her private conversations

402
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: on her Ring camera. That part I couldn't figure out.

403
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from. But if you

404
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: log into your Ring account and you go under the

405
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: authorized devices, and you could probably try this. If you

406
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: open up your Ring app, go to the left hand side.

407
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: You've got those three lines that's your menu. Tap that

408
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 1: go to control center. Oh, I tapped the wrong thing.

409
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: I tapped account settings. Now I can't go back. Okay,

410
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: tap the three lines, tap control center, and then you'll

411
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: see something that says authorized devices. Okay, authorized client devices.

412
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: If I tap there, I've got a whole bunch of

413
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: devices that seemingly logged in on May twenty eighth, and

414
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: iPhone seven plus logged in on May twenty eighth, twenty

415
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: twenty five. Now I have not used an iPhone seven

416
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: in about let's say ten years. So how did that

417
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: log in? On May twenty eight, twenty twenty five. So

418
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: if you're just a regular person seeing that, after you

419
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: watch the TikTok video, you go, oh, my gosh, Ring

420
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: was hack. Someone got into my account. Okay, So what

421
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: I did? Instead of just spreading this information and you know,

422
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: making everyone one scared about it, I emailed my contact

423
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: at RING and I said, hey, can you give me

424
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: the information about this? Can you give me what's going

425
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: on here? And sure enough they got back to me

426
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: within a couple hours and they said, here's the deal,

427
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: and here is their statement. We are aware of a

428
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: bug that resulted in prior login dates for client devices

429
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: to be incorrectly displayed as May twenty eighth, twenty twenty five,

430
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: and device names to be incorrectly displayed as device name

431
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: not found. This was a result of a back end

432
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: update not caused by unauthorized access to customer accounts. So basically,

433
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: the bug made old logins look new, confusing users into

434
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: thinking they were hacked. Okay, you can rest easy, but

435
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: of course this is the Internet, and what do you

436
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: think happens? The conspiracy theorists start to chime in and say, oh,

437
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: come on, Rich Ring is just covering this up. If

438
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: you think that millions of Ring cameras are being watched

439
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: by someone right now, it's just not happening. It's just

440
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: not like this is This is a huge company with

441
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: millions of people as customers. Someone would to figure this

442
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: out if this was really happening. So my point is

443
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: in all this, when you see stuff online that just

444
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: seems crazy and outlandish, of course you should think about

445
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: it and process it, but also think about the realistic

446
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: nature of it. Let me give you another example before

447
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: I get to my conclusion on this. I was, you know,

448
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't really scroll through a lot of TikTok, but

449
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: sometimes I do. It just angers me because it's just

450
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: it's all so much nonsense and misinformation about especially tech

451
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: things one privacy control you should really change. And it's

452
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: just like they're giving you these un based facts or

453
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, speculation and things that they want you to

454
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: do without any actual knowledge. Like when I tell you

455
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: to change a setting, I give you the reason why.

456
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't just say, oh, this looks like a bad

457
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: setting on your phone, change it without explaining the why.

458
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: So one time I was scrolling through and there was

459
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of videos about how if you cut

460
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: open an iPhone box there was a secret case for

461
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: your iPhone in that box. Now, I have been getting

462
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: iPhone for the past, you know, since day one, two

463
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: thousand and seven. I don't remember there ever being a

464
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: case included in the iPhone. Now some manufacturers do actually

465
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: include a case. So what did I do After scrolling

466
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: through about fifteen of these videos and seeing fifteen people

467
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: open up an iPhone case with an Exacto knife and

468
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: finding a plastic case in there, plastic you know, protector

469
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: in there. I went and got an old iPhone case

470
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: out of my closet and I said, let me see

471
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: what's happening here. And I took an Exacto knife and

472
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: I cut it open. And I was sitting there laughing

473
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: to myself, going, Rich this is this is not true.

474
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: I know this is not true, but maybe it is.

475
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: There is a little space inside the iPhone box that

476
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: feels like it could have something in there, and I

477
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: opened it up and sure enough, nothing in there. So

478
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: what were these people doing on TikTok? They were literally

479
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: making this up, like faking it and I just laughed

480
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: and I said, Okay, this is why you can't believe

481
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: anything you see anymore. So anyway, my solution with this

482
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: Ring stuff, it does seem to be a bug unless

483
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: someone comes out and proves that it's not. But I

484
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: would say, you can go into your Ring Control center

485
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: the list of authorized client devices, and you can go

486
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: through and delete all the old devices that have access

487
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: to your account, like if you've given you know, if

488
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: you've changed phones, if you've switched logins, if you have

489
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: a friend or family member that you gave access to,

490
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: you can just delete those. Now. For me, as a

491
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: tech reporter that has been covering phones for the past

492
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: fifteen years, guess how many phones I have logged into

493
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: my Ring account. Probably over one hundred maybe more. And

494
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: so I started going through deleting some of these and

495
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: it's just it just ten more pop up. It's like

496
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: a game of whack themle for me. So that's just

497
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: not going to happen. But anyway, I made a video

498
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: about this at rich on Tech on Instagram, you can

499
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: check it out. In fact, I made the video because

500
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: of the Flip seven, because it's so easy to do

501
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: videos on that phone and again, I was talking about

502
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: the benefits of the foldable. There has to be a

503
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: benefit to a foldable phone for me to want to

504
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: use it. Now, the Flip seven, that is an actual

505
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: benefit where because you can use those front facing cameras,

506
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: doing a little video like that is super easy. You're

507
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: not using the selfie camera. It's like the best camera.

508
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: So again, that is what I like about it. Speaking

509
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: of foldable phones, Google announced this week that they're made

510
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: by Google Hardware. Event has a date August twentieth in

511
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: New York City. They will stream it on YouTube. The

512
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: funny thing about this event is that it's at the

513
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: very similar place to where Samsung just held their event

514
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. I don't know how that happened, but kind

515
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: of weird. So what are we gonna see there? Pixel

516
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: ten phones, maybe a new pixel watch, maybe new Pixel buds.

517
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: The Pixel ten pro fold might be their first dust

518
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: resistant foldable. So right now, these foldable phones, the Samsung's

519
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: just got dust resistance. The Pixel nine Pro fold did not,

520
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: so hopefully it'll get dust resistance. Let's see what else

521
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: is interesting here. You know, obviously there's gonna be the

522
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: standard upgrades to the processor and the cameras pricing, there's

523
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: leaked pricing. I hate to get into that because who

524
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: knows that will change Pixel four, the watch is expected

525
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: to have a bigger battery, and what else. I think

526
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: that's about it for I mean, there's at this point

527
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: there's not too many surprises at these events anymore, which

528
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: is really sad. There used to always be a surprise

529
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: at these events. But now, because of the leaks and

530
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: because of you know, the iterative changes on all these smartphones,

531
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: they've gotten to a place where they're already so good.

532
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: Nobody's sitting there waiting with baited breath saying, oh am,

533
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: I gonna upgrade because of this change. No, they're gonna

534
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: upgrade when their phone breaks, or when their contract is up,

535
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: or when they have the money to upgrade. So it's

536
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: become really tough for these phone makers to give us

537
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: a reason to upgrade. Apple tried with the whole you

538
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: know AI stuff that didn't really work. Google there goes,

539
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, the back catalog is so far that you

540
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: don't really need to upgrade to get the AI on

541
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: that stuff. And then Samsung, I will give credit. They do.

542
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: They do try a bunch of stuff to see what

543
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: sticks all right eighty to eight rich one O one

544
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

545
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,160

Speaker 1: Diego Herb, you're on with Rich.

554
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rich, I have an older house and the wire

555
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 6: for thee the telephone is the old fashioned uh telephone wires,

556
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 6: and I it to get my home phone through the internet.

557
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 6: And now uh, the wiring has quit again. And the

558
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 6: phone company doesn't want to go up in Miami and

559
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: try to do all that, so.

560
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 7: They have a deal where you put a cell phone

561
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 7: next to your answering machine, and when somebody calls the

562
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 7: cell phone answers it's a cellular cellular call anyway, and

563
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 7: it talks through.

564
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 6: A to the answer machine through Bluetooth, and so the

565
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 6: answer machine functions and I'm having a lot of problem

566
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 6: with doing that, and I wonder if you know anything

567
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 6: about that. Somebody talked about an anthing machine that had

568
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 6: the tip that allows it to be a straight cell

569
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 6: phone answering machine. Do you know anything about that?

570
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: I I'm a little confused. So I'm trying to tell

571
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: me what you're trying to do and maybe I can

572
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: come up with a solution.

573
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 6: So you're trying to sorry, go ahead, Yeah.

574
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: So you have a you have a landline phone line,

575
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: but it's now it's now voiceover IP, which means is

576
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: coming through what your cable company or your phone company.

577
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 6: It was coming through the phone company, through the the internet.

578
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: Got my internet and what's the phone company? I'm sorry,

579
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: who's who's the provider?

580
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 6: Uh at?

581
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: Okay? So they gave you a box that basically plugs

582
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: into your internet connection and that provides you a phone line.

583
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: Is that right?

584
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 6: That's what That's what it was. Now that has quit

585
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 6: because part of.

586
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 7: It was old wiring to where the answering machine plugged

587
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 7: into the ball.

588
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: And so you're trying to just have a landline with

589
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: an answering machine.

590
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 6: I figure that's what I wanted as an answering machine.

591
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: And and and their system. Their phone number that they

592
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: give you doesn't include voicemail.

593
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 6: You know, I number got to that, but.

594
00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

595
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So what I would do is I would get

596
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: in touch with AT and T. I think that this

597
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: phone line has built in voicemail. I don't think you

598
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: need an external machine to take a call anymore. I

599
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: think that this phone line should have voicemail built into it.

600
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: And that means that you will just basically pick up

601
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: this phone line and somehow either press the number one,

602
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: hold down the number one, and that should dial the

603
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: voicemail that's built into this line. If it's a standard

604
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: AT and T, they call it VoIP, do they do?

605
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: They throw that out their voiceover IP.

606
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 5: Not really.

607
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: They might just call it a you know, digital, They

608
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: might call it digital home phone service. It looks like that.

609
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at it. Okay, I'm looking at this here. Okay.

610
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: Twenty five features in yeah, okay, twenty five features including voicemail,

611
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: caller ID call waiting, call forwarding, three way calling, call blocking,

612
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: unlimited long distance in the US, Mexico, Canada, Digital phone

613
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: call protect compatible with most alarm meta occult monitoring, and

614
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: teletypewriter devices. So I think that if I were you,

615
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: how much you paying for this a month?

616
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 6: Well let's combine with my TV and everything else. But

617
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 6: I'm not sure it's about eighty bucks.

618
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: I think eighty bucks. Okay, So what I would do

619
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: is okay, so calling features. So I'm looking at these

620
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: calling features here. There is a way to dial dial

621
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: the voicemail on here. Yeah, period is voicemail. So voicemail,

622
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: set up an info I'm looking at that set up

623
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 1: voicemail for landline home phone. Oh wow, there's even an

624
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: app you can get. Do you have a smartphone? Yeah, okay,

625
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: so look at that. You can even you can even

626
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: download an app to your smartphone that will that will

627
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: give you access to your voicemail. So how cool is that.

628
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: It's called the AT and T Voicemail Viewer app. And

629
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: so if you want to set up your voicemail number, one,

630
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: let's see here dial Star nine to eight. So on

631
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: your phone you dial Star nine eight. That will help

632
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: you set up your voicemail and then you can listen

633
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: to your voicemail by pressing Yeah, this Star nine eight

634
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: will access your voicemail. And then I would also download

635
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: that app which is again called AT and T voicemail

636
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: to text unified messaging. But Herb, I think that it's

637
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: funny when we think about these things, you know, these

638
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: these systems. Sometimes we have a frame of reference of

639
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: the standard or the kind of previous way of doing things,

640
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: and sometimes we don't even think about the fact that

641
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: there's a new way to do things. And so this

642
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: line that you have ninety nine point nine percent sure

643
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: has voicemail built in, you don't even need that answering

644
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: machine at all. And so I will put a link

645
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: to this support article on my website rich on tech

646
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: dot TV in the show notes this is episode let

647
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: me see here. I think it's one hundred and thirty.

648
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: So if you just go right to the website rich

649
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: on tech TV, I'll have this link up here. In

650
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, set up that voicemail and download

651
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: that app to your phone, and I think you'll be

652
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: able to bring that answering machine to Goodwill and maybe

653
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: someone else needs that. But I remember, I mean the

654
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: old days of answering machines. Remember you'd be in the house,

655
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: you can literally and thanks for the call, or appreciate

656
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: that literally back in the day, do you remember, you

657
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: would screen your calls by having the person leave a message.

658
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: There would be a tiny micro cassette in your answering machine.

659
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: You know, you'd everyone be in the house, the phone

660
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: would ring, everyone freezes, and you'd all look at the

661
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: answering machine and you'd wait for it to pick up,

662
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: and you'd wait to see who this person was. This

663
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: was before call or ID. This was the funny thing

664
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: is before we started ignoring calls, we used to actually

665
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: answer calls and give people excuses why we couldn't talk.

666
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: Like my parents would make me answer the phone. And

667
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: for every business person that ever called my dad sorry

668
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: to put you on blast, Dad, it would always be like, oh,

669
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he's in the shower. I'm sorry, he's not

670
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: like they would literally be like this, like they'd be

671
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: looking at it and be like, do not, I am

672
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: not here right now, like you'd be they'd be making

673
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: this motion. And nowadays, it's just it's just when you

674
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: think about this stuff, it is so wild how far

675
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: we've come. Now we just ignore people. Now we just

676
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: literally don't answer the phone. But back in the day,

677
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: you'd pick up, you'd be like, oh, I'm sorry, you'd

678
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: be looking at your mom. I'm sorry, my mom is

679
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: not available. She's just not here right now. My mom

680
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: says she's not here. My mom says she's not here,

681
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: right You remember this, Bobo, I mean, of course not

682
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: doing it. Yeah, I mean this is just funny. We

683
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: take for granted how much has changed. But anyway, bottom line,

684
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,399

713
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 8: playing on my shoo.

714
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: I think my kids feel guilty about theirs.

715
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 11: I don't feel guilty.

716
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: That is funny, my kid Actually, Tanner downloaded one of

717
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 1: the apps we talked about on the show. A long

718
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: time ago. We interviewed the creator of an app called

719
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: be Present, and it's like, basically this app that forces

720
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: you to take a break from your iPad. Tell me

721
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: how you've used it. It's like there's something called beast mode.

722
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: What happens when you turn on beast mode?

723
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 8: All right, So there's a pro in normal mode, and

724
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 8: the beast mode makes it so you can't turn off

725
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 8: a blocking session, so you can start a blocking session,

726
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 8: and with normal you can always end it, and it

727
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 8: blocks all of your apps, and it shows you your

728
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 8: screen time. And if you have pro mode, you can

729
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 8: turn on beast Mode when you're about to start a

730
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 8: blocking session, which will make well which will still block everything,

731
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 8: but you can't turn it off.

732
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: You can't stop it. I love it like this, So

733
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: now I just say to my kid, I go, hey,

734
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: why don't you start like an hour of beast Mode?

735
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: And he's like he pressed it, like he thinks it's

736
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: a challenge. So if you're struggling with your screen time,

737
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: check out that be present app, and definitely the beast Mode,

738
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: because you can't stop it. Once you put it on,

739
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: You're not able to stop the hour or whatever you

740
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: set as your time.

741
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 12: So I just want to say, I wish everybody here

742
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 12: can see the glowing on your face as your kids

743

Speaker 1: My kids had an email right right at birth. Although

771
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you the second second kid syndrome Parker.

772
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: We signed up for freaking flyer account the day he

773
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: was born, because he flew within like two weeks. I

774
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: think it was four. I think you had to be four. Tanner.

775
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: He's going on eleven and still no freaking flyer account,

776
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: even though he's filling so many times in me. But

777
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: that's called the second kid. You'll know what that means

778
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: in the future. Got a sign him up. Yeah, So

779
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I get a lot of emails from you.

780
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: You go to the website, you email me. It's all

781
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: day long. And yes, I replied to a lot of them.

782
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: I don't get to every one of them, so sometimes

783
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: I read them on the show. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes

784
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: the combination. But it's funny because every email I get. Now,

785
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: I've done technology for a long time, and so to me,

786
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: I've got this knowledge base of information just bouncing around

787
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: in my head. And when someone emails me and I'm like,

788
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: wait a second, is this a joke? Like am I

789
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: missing something? Like sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one.

790
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: But it's really tough as a tech person because you're

791
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: like that just seems too easy. So, for instance, Darren

792
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: wrote in and say, hey, Rich big fan and watcher

793
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: slash listener, I volunteer for a nonprofit, and we're mentoring

794
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 1: children in Uganda via Zoom. The challenge is that English

795
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: is their second language. They speak softly, and they don't

796
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: always speak directly into the mic, so it could be

797
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: hard to understand them. Is there any tech that could

798
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: transcribe what they're saying in real time, like subtitles just

799
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: English to English. That would be amazing and really help

800
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: us continue our our mission mentoring kids in Africa, Mexico, Iran,

801
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: and here in the US. And I wrote back, and

802
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: I said, what about just live transcription that's built into Zoom.

803
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: It literally just listens to what you're saying and transcribes

804
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: what the person's saying. And English to English is super easy.

805
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: Of course you can probably have it in other languages.

806
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: That's like what AI has enabled on all these video

807
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: chat apps, is you know, live translation in real time.

808
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: And I just got a reply from Darren. He said, Rich,

809
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: that's amazing. I never even knew that existed. You should

810
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: let your listeners know about this feature. I'm listening to

811
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: the show. Awesome as always, I mean, super simple solution,

812
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: but it's like I'm sitting there racking my brain, going

813
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: this can't be like, maybe am I missing something? Does

814
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: he want to do something? And I don't understand, but

815
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: it just sounds like he just wants live transcriptions, which

816
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: is something that's built into zoom. Anyway, Should we take

817
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: a call? Do we have time to take a call?

818
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: You think? Okay, let's go to Oh, Tanner wanted to

819
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: touch the button here, I'll put the caller back on hold.

820
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, Tanner, let's go to Oh. Now

821
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: we just now I think we just hung up on them.

822
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: Are you there? Okay? Whoops? We just me Oh, who's this?

823
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 4: This is Dave and Littleton?

824
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Dave, I think you might have been on with Kim,

825
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: but I guess we're just gonna take you live. Who

826
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: knows what?

827
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 4: Well, that's fine, No, Rich, you and I talked a

828
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 4: while back on my Stubbornly Young podcast. But I have

829
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 4: a tech question for you.

830
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, what podcasts do we talk on?

831
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 4: You were on Stubbornly Young? Oh?

832
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I remember this? Yes you do that podcast?

833
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 13: Yeah?

834
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did anyone listen?

835
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 2: Oh?

836
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 4: I hope so I think so? Yeah? I mean there

837
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 4: were downloads. So yeah, good.

838
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: I like that. I like to hear that. I you know,

839
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm always like, Okay, people are going to care about

840
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: what I have to say. Anyway, what can I help

841
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: you with, Dave, Yes, I do.

842
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 4: Excuse me, Rich, I've got about a four year old PC.

843
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 4: I don't do a lot on it. Oh, I do

844
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 4: a lot on it, but I don't require a lot

845
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 4: of functionality. But I do some audacity editing and some

846
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 4: other things. But anyway, it seems like it's full. And

847
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 4: I have gone back back and forth. I've tried to,

848
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 4: like I actually stripped it down to original mode and

849
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 4: everything else. But by the time I get all my

850
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 4: apps loaded on it, I've got like a half the

851
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 4: gig hard drive by the time I get everything up,

852
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 4: and I know and by the time I get it

853
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 4: going everything now when I look at it and Mike,

854
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 4: you know, it says I've got like one percent left,

855
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 4: one percent left. So I was thinking about just replacing it.

856
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: But is there something I can do to clean that

857
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 4: thing up?

858
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean you can try and see if it helps.

859
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you're this is this is what

860
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: happens when I set up an Android phone that's only

861
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: got one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of storage. By

862
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: the time I get everything installed on there, it's got

863
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: nothing left. I'm like, well, I can't even use this thing.

864
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: So that's kind of what's happening to your computer. How

865
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: big is the hard drive on this thing?

866
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 4: Well, it's it's a half a gig I'm sorry, yeah,

867
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 4: half a half a gig hard drive, but it's of

868
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 4: course partitioned into the C and D drive.

869
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: Half a gig doesn't sound right, that would be right?

870
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 4: Oh fived?

871
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: Sorry, five to twelve path a terribiye five twelve okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

872
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: that's a decent amount.

873
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 4: It should be. And and I actually restored it to

874
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 4: factory settings once and about and everything was back up

875
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 4: and running and wonderful. And then about a month later

876
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 4: by the time and I've deleted you know, stuff from cash,

877
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 4: I've deleted stuff from download, but man, it just keeps

878
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 4: catching up to me. And I'm thinking it's probably just

879
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 4: time to give up and get another one. But am

880
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 4: I wrong?

881
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: Well, is the computer still working? Yeah, then there's no

882
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: need to get so here's what we need to do.

883
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 4: I mean it chokes a lot.

884
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: Oh well, because it's probably the drive is so full

885
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: that it doesn't really have a lot to work with there.

886
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: But here's what I would do. Number one, the easiest

887
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: thing is this a desktop or a laptop?

888
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 4: Desktop? Desktop?

889
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: So well, okay, so super easy for if you still

890
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: want to use this computer, you know, that's number one.

891
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: You have to decide you want to use it. I

892
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: would I would go through and try these programs like

893
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: number one. Disc clean Up is built into Windows. Have

894
00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: you done that?

895
00:44:59,320 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 4: Done that?

896
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: What about Storage Sense?

897
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 2: Yep?

898
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 6: Done that?

899
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: Okay, Well then what about bleach bit? Have you tried

900
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: that one? No bleach bleach bit like bleach like, you know,

901
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: cleaning something, so bleach bit now, Dave, I think you're

902
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more advanced than the average person, it

903
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: sounds like. So this is not something that I would recommend.

904
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: This is not something i'd recommend for everyone to just

905
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: install in their computer and run because you kind of

906
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: have to know what you're doing a little bit. But

907
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: this can free up your cash, cookies, internet history, temporary

908
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: fly files, all the junk that's on your system that

909
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: you don't really need. It can do. And so that

910
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: is probably the last ditch effort, is to try running

911
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: this on your system, see if it finds anything that

912
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: you can get rid of and if it doesn't, you know,

913
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: then you might want to look into a new computer.

914
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: But before you get a new computer, you can also

915
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: put all the files that you're using onto an extra

916
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: in a hard drive and see if that helps, because

917
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how much is stored on your computer

918
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: besides the actual apps and things like that, the programs

919
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: that you want.

920
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 4: You know, it's I've done that everything. I push all

921
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 4: my files that are not software related onto the D

922
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 4: drive and it's the C drive that is like choked,

923
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 4: which is where you know, as you know, everything gets

924
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 4: installed right right, So well, I don't want to mess

925
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 4: with repartitioning and all that.

926
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: That's I guess I could. I mean you could if

927
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: you wanted to save this computer and just put it

928
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: all into one. But that that's what I'd recommend. I

929
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: try the bleach bet see if that can free up

930
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: some space. It sounds like you just don't really have

931
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: much to work with on this computer once all of

932
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: your standard programs that you're using are installed. So it

933
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: sounds like, you know, if you get a new computer,

934
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: obviously you want to get something that has at least

935
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: a terabyte of space. At this point, at least sixteen

936
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: gigs of memory and a good decent processor. In fact,

937
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: I always recommend when you go to Costco if you're

938
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: a Costo member, to get what they have there. And

939
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 1: I was in Costco last weekend and I was looking

940
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: at the computers. They have Lenovo all in one twenty

941
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: seven inch touchscreen for nine hundred dollars with an AMD

942
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: rise in five sixteen gigs a RAM one terabyte drive.

943
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: It looks like it's built in graphics on that one.

944
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: Then they had another computer I saw six ninety nine

945
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: for an HP desktop, thirty two gigs of storage arise

946
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: in seven and a terabyte. I mean, that's incredible for

947
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: seven hundred bucks. So that's where I'd recommend you look

948
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: for those computers if you have a Costco membership. But

949
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: good to hear from you, Dave over there in Little

950
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: Tin Glad. We did the podcast and felt like yesterday,

951
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: even though it was probably longer than that. Coming up

952
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: more of your calls. Eighty to eight rich one O

Speaker 1: one eighty eight seven four to two four to one

954
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:53,960

955
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you talking technology at Triple eight.

956
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: Rich one O one eight eight eight seven four two

957
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: four to one zero. One couple of price price hikes

958
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: to know about. Number one nest Aware. This is Google's

959
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: subscription service for their cameras and doorbells. They're increasing the

960
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 1: price starting August fifteenth. The standard plan nest Aware goes

961
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 1: from ten dollars up goes to ten dollars a month

962
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: up from eight, or one hundred dollars a year up

963
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: from eighty. Then nest Aware Plus goes to twenty dollars

964
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: a month or two hundred dollars a year, up from

965
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: fifteen or one hundred and fifty. So all users are

966
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna get those price hikes starting with your first bill

967
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: after August fifteenth. Google says the hike is needed to

968
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: keep up with market shifts, inflation, and local tax updates.

969
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're seeing the prices go up on that.

970
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of in line with what Ring charges for

971
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: their cameras to monitor multiple cameras. A lot of people

972
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: don't realize, like the nest cameras are just live streaming

973
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: and sort of the Ring cameras. Basically, if you don't

974
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: pay for these subscriptions, that save it in the cloud.

975
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: Peacock also raising prices Peacock Premium with ADS is going

976
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: from eight dollars a month to eleven dollars a month

977
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 1: starting July twenty third for new users August twenty second

978
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: for existing users. Peacock Premium Plus, which apparently has fewer ads, okay,

979
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: goes from fourteen dollars a month to seventeen dollars a month.

980
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: So NBC says the price hike reflects that Peacock was

981
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: quote underpriced compared to competitors. And they are testing a

982
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: select here for eight dollars a month, which just has

983
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: a couple of things on there. But here's the deal.

984
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: I've talked about this on this show. Peacock is the

985
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: sleeper streaming service because it's NBC Universal. They get so

986
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: many of the best movies. I think that movie that

987
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier Drop, I think that was

988
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: on Peacock. So actually I'm canceling, just kidding. Let's go

989
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: to Barbara in Oh my gosh, Okay, I keep pressing

990
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: the wrong button here. Okay, let's see if this is

991
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,680

Speaker 4: Correct?

1004
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: Okay? And you also have an Android, but you're thinking

1005
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: of going to an iPhone?

1006
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 4: No.

1007
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 14: I had an Android back in the day, okay, and

1008
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 14: then I moved to the iPhone family and need to

1009
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 14: upgrade from A twelve or I want to? And is

1010
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 14: it crazy to go back to an aproid?

1011
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy at all. I mean I

1012
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: love Android, so I would of course recommend that. But

1013
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: it depends what you want out of your phone. Are

1014
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: you a big I message person?

1015
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 9: Like?

1016
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: Do you love I message?

1017
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 14: I love messaging. I don't care who how I do it.

1018
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: You're not like a green bubble snob?

1019
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 14: No?

1020
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: Okay? Well, I mean, look there's there's two there, and

1021
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: it does work with your with your MacBook. You said

1022
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: you have a MacBook. So the iPhone does work really

1023
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 1: well with the MacBook. So if you are transferring files

1024
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: or you like to text from your MacBook, those kind

1025
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: of things do work really nicely. Or if you have

1026
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: a subscription to any of the Apple you know iCloud services,

1027
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: those all kind of work together. They call it the

1028
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: halo effect. So if you're if you're happy with your

1029
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: iPhone and you like the way it works, I would

1030
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: just upgrade to a new iPhone. And unless you're a

1031
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: pro photographer, I think the iPhone sixteen E is an

1032
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: excellent upgrade for you. And that's going to be about

1033
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars. You might be able to get it

1034
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: for a little bit cheaper, depending on if it goes

1035
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: on sale or any promotions. US Mobile is excellent. We're

1036
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: actually going to have the CEO of us Mobile on

1037
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: in an upcoming show. I subscribe to US Mobile. I

1038
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: really enjoy what they do. How did you hear about them?

1039
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 14: From you? But also from Park Powers?

1040
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: Oh okay, interesting, who's that?

1041
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 7: Now?

1042
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: It's kidding? No, I love Clark Howard. So yeah, US

1043
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: Mobile is really good. And so you're trying to figure

1044
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: out if you should upgrade before you do the switch.

1045
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, should I buy the new phone first or should

1046
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 14: I switch first?

1047
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't really think it matters. I would actually,

1048
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: since you're doing you know, it's kind of like these

1049
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: big life changes, I would say I would do the

1050
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: switch first, get settled in, make sure everything works, and

1051
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 1: then upgrade your phone, and then you can switch the

1052
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: number easily to that new phone.

1053
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 14: All right, that's donny. Any particular I transferring to US Mobile.

1056
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: you do have to get what's called a port out

Speaker 15: Thanks Rich, happy to be here.

1072
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: This is fascinating to me. So first off, explain what world.

1073
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: So I was actually long story shorter or probably longer.

1074
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: I was in South Korea when you guys originally launched

1075
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: like the first ORB. I believe it was like there

1076
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: right where you like scan your irises or something.

1077
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 15: So the ORB is a camera that takes a picture

1078
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 15: of your face in order to confirm that you are

1079
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 15: real human and give you a identity that you can

1080
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 15: use to connect to online services. But yeah, I've also

1081
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 15: been to the ORB in South Korea.

1082
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: Oh you have Okay, So I was there. This was

1083
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: like I think it was two summers ago, and so

1084
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: I was like very like, this is really interesting. This

1085
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: is really different. So the World Network, Like, what are

1086
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: you building at world? What does that mean exactly?

1087
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 15: So a couple of almost a decade ago, the founding

1088
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 15: team Sam Altman and Alex Blania and a few others

1089
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 15: were beginning to think about what what the world would

1090
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 15: look like once AI became prevalent and capable, which we're

1091
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 15: now in that world where we're seeing very capable AI.

1092
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 15: And one of the things they realized is there wasn't

1093
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 15: a way to differentiate real people from a capable AI

1094
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 15: on an online context. And so world is a protocol

1095
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 15: to make it possible for any service to future proof

1096
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 15: its application in the future.

1097
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: So the idea is, I go to this physical device,

1098
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 1: I get scanned as a human, It confirms it I'm

1099
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: a human, somehow saves some of my biometrics in its database.

1100
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: And then when I'm online, let's say I sign up

1101
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: for a dating app, I would use that to let's say,

1102
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: like confirm that I am a human versus just a

1103
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 1: bot that's sitting there chatting with a whole bunch of people.

1104
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 15: The way I think about it is it's a little

1105
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 15: bit like you go to the DMV and it takes

1106
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 15: a picture, it gives you a credential, which is your

1107
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 15: driver's license, and then you can go around and drive

1108
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 15: and use it whenever you want. But if there's a

1109
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 15: need for you to present it in order to confirm

1110
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 15: that you are a licensed driver, you can do that.

1111
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 15: Now it's very different because we don't need to keep

1112
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 15: any information at world, so it's quite different from other

1113
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 15: technologies in that regard. We've built it from the ground

1114
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 15: up to think about privacy and make sure that the

1115
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 15: data is being held by the user.

1116
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: But that's really what.

1117
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 15: It's doing, is giving you what sometimes we'll call a

1118
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 15: passport for being able to access online services and do

1119
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 15: so in a private way.

1120
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So you've got these orbs set up in different places?

1121
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: How many? I mean, I know there's one in Los Angeles.

1122
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: Where else are they? I mean, you have to name

1123
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: every city if there's a whole bunch, But there's a

1124
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:37,959
Speaker 1: whole bunch.

1125
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 15: So we've got over fifteen hundred orbs that are currently

1126
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 15: in use around the world. In the United States, we

1127
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 15: have a couple hundred Okay, listen, yep, the big ones

1128
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 15: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Austin, Texas, and we're continuing

1129
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 15: to expand. We have a partnership with a company called

1130
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 15: Razor that has a large number of retail stores around

1131
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 15: the United States as well, and they're beginning to deploy

1132
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 15: orbs in their storefronts.

1133
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: So you go in there, you get scanned, and then what.

1134
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 15: Then you have a world ID and you can use

1135
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 15: that to connect to any service that wants to improve

1136
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 15: the quality of their application. So you mentioned online dating.

1137
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 16: We have a.

1138
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 15: Partnership with the match group. They make Hinder, and they're

1139
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 15: really concerned about making sure that people only build one

1140
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 15: dating profile and that the information that's presented there is

1141
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 15: reasonably accurate. They have a little fledge here and there

1142
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 15: is fine, but reasonably accurate. And so what World does

1143
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 15: is allow them to have a safer place for people

1144
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 15: to meet their match online. In the gaming space, I

1145
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 15: mentioned Razor earlier, there's a big concern about bots being

1146
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 15: used to replace human gamers and that's just something that

1147
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 15: the gamers don't like and it makes it much less

1148
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 15: fun for everybody. And so that's another area where there's

1149
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 15: a lot of interest in having confirmation that the people

1150
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 15: you're playing with are real humans.

1151
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: Are shaking their heads saying, yeah, that is a big problem.

1152
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: So it's like like if I'm playing Mario Kart and

1153
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: you know you've got all the like I mean, I

1154
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: know this is simple explanation, but like sometimes you want

1155
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: to play against you know, bots because they're just populating

1156
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: the screen. But if you're in like a competitive gaming landscape.

1157
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: You don't want these AI super gamers to have the

1158
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: advantage over the humans, So you can say only humans

1159
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: with this world ID are allowed into this game to

1160
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: play like this round.

1161
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 15: Yep, you could do that. You could have a tournament

1162
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 15: where you have to have a world ID. There're a

1163
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 15: variety of different approaches that could be taken. There was

1164
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 15: something that cracked me up just a couple of days ago.

1165
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 15: I guess there's a movie coming out called The Odyssey. Uh,

1166
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 15: And I got a posting saying that every ticket has

1167
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 15: been sold already for its opening, which is about a

1168
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,959
Speaker 15: year from now. And I was like, who, I hadn't

1169
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 15: even heard that this movie was coming out. Who's bought

1170
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 15: all these tickets? And then right after that I read, oh,

1171
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 15: I see scalpers buy the tickets, right so they know

1172
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 15: that this is going to be a big hit, so

1173
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 15: they buy the tickets literally the day they become available

1174
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 15: in a movie that has come out yet, and then

1175
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 15: they're going to try to resell them. So that's another

1176
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 15: use case that people are pretty excited about. Is a

1177
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 15: world ID allows you to say one person is allowed

1178
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 15: to buy a limited number of tickets, and that same

1179
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 15: person has to be the one who then goes to

1180
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 15: the movie.

1181
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's huge, that's actually like really really interesting.

1182
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: So with all these like Taylor Swift concerts, like the

1183
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: you know where there's such a problem with like in

1184
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, just scalping and this and that you can

1185
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: have it where ticket master whoever selling the ticket says no,

1186
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: you have to have this ID. And by the way,

1187
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: when you go to the door, it has to link

1188
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: up with you. How would you confirm it's that person

1189
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: at the door.

1190
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 15: Well, you actually don't need to know who the person is.

1191
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 15: You just need to know that the person to whom

1192
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 15: the ticket was issued is the same one. And that's

1193
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 15: that's one of the interesting things about our privacy model

1194
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 15: is our goal is not to have you say that

1195
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 15: you know, Adrian Ludwig went to this concert. Our goal

1196
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 15: is to give you the same anonymity that you have

1197
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 15: for a transaction right now, where you walk up to

1198
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 15: a ticket booth, you pay cash, you get a ticket,

1199
00:59:58,160 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 15: and then you walk into the movie and nobody knows

1200
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 15: who it was. But to be able to do that

1201
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 15: in a trustworthy way online and so that's what World

1202
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 15: gives you is you can have an anonymous transaction where

1203
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 15: you make a purchase and then that same person who

1204
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 15: performed that purchase is the one that has to present

1205
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 15: the ticket later and they can confirm that as you're

1206
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 15: going through the gate. We're working on deploying that technology

1207
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 15: for a concert service and a ticket service in Korea

1208
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 15: right now actually, and we're open to conversations with anybody

1209
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 15: that wants to do it anywhere else in the world.

1210
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Wow, that's really fascinating. So how many people have scanned

1211
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: yet and explained this scan because you said it was

1212
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: private and it's not necessarily or irish, like, explain what's

1213
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: getting scanned?

1214
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, so there are thirteen million people and they actually

1215
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 15: are people that have gone to an ORB around the

1216
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 15: world and been verified as human. The way that that

1217
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 15: happens the ORB is I like to think of it

1218
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 15: as just a weird shaped camera. It's about the size

1219
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 15: of a bowling ball. It is a sphere and inside

1220
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 15: of it are a few different things. There's several different cameras.

1221
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 15: One that is taking a picture of the entire face,

1222
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,959
Speaker 15: one that is taking a picture of the individual eye.

1223
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 15: And when we're taking those pictures, the images are being

1224
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 15: taken in both visible light and in infrared light. Infrared

1225
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 15: light is really interesting because it gives you the ability

1226
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 15: to see the sort of the bumps in a way

1227
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 15: that you can't see invisible light. So the shape of

1228
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 15: your skin is very different in infrared light. And similarly,

1229
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 15: the eye, while it looks very smooth in visible light,

1230
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 15: turns out to be very bumpy in infrared light. And

1231
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 15: so what we're looking at is effectively the fingerprint of

1232
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 15: each of the two irises that is the front of

1233
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 15: your eye, and then using that to create a unique code,

1234
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 15: and then confirming that this person has never signed up previously.

1235
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 15: And so once that's done, they now have a verified

1236
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 15: World ID and they can go use it with any

1237
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 15: service that wants to have a World ID.

1238
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Is World keeping a database of all these pictures or

1239
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: do they get deleted after they come up with the

1240
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: number or what?

1241
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 9: Now?

1242
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 15: The pictures are taken on the ORB, The ORB analyzes

1243
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 15: them to make sure that it's a real person. If

1244
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 15: it is, then those pictures are actually given to the

1245
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 15: person of whom they're taken, right, so they're transferred to

1246
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 15: your phone and they're held on the user's phone. World

1247
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 15: doesn't retain the images, doesn't have a reason to keep them,

1248
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 15: we confirm that they're unique, and then at that point

1249
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 15: the key the world idea that the user has registered

1250
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 15: is allowed to be used, but there's no need for

1251
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 15: World to retain any information. That's one of the things

1252
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 15: that I think is most exciting is we've been focused

1253
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 15: on privacy from the very beginning, which is different for frankly,

1254
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 15: how most technologies are.

1255
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Like almost any any database is built on, you know,

1256
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: keeping that those identifying characteristics in a database that if

1257
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: it's hacked, it's like game over. So I know this

1258
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: sounds funny and it's it's gonna sound silly, but like

1259
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: in the future, and I know that everyone's that's walking up.

1260
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: All these thirteen million people that you've quote unquote verified,

1261
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: they've all been real humans. But there is a time

1262
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: in the future when we may have walking robots that

1263
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: try to confirm themselves as human and trick the system.

1264
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sounds silly, but is that Like,

1265
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: have you guys thought about that in the future, like

1266
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: this system can't be tricked.

1267
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 15: It's definitely something we've thought about. We've had people try

1268
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 15: to verify their dogs so far that hasn't been successful.

1269
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 15: We are also aware that there are people who are

1270
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 15: trying to produce multiple identities, and they'll do that by

1271
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 15: manipulating their face, whether it be makeup or a mask.

1272
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 15: They might try to use contact lenses that make the

1273
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 15: eye look a little bit different, and so there's a

1274
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 15: lot of analysis that's going on on the ORB to

1275
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 15: confirm that it is an unmanipulated image of a single

1276
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 15: person and then go from there. Undoubtedly it's gonna be

1277
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 15: what they call a cat and mouse game. All right,

1278
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 15: It's gonna get more and more difficult over time, and

1279
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 15: we're gonna have to invest more in making sure that

1280
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 15: the ORB is detecting those types of attempts. But that's

1281
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 15: that's something that we're thinking about him.

1282
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: We've got less than a minute. I'm just curious, who

1283
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: do you think should go get scanned? Like, what's the

1284
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: biggest reason to get scanned right now?

1285
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 15: So, one thing that people are really nervous about is

1286
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 15: other people using their identity, and so we're focusing a

1287
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 15: lot on making it possible for you to confirm who

1288
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 15: it is that you're interacting with, like in a conference,

1289
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 15: like a video conference or an audio conference. So if

1290
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 15: you're concerned about that, definitely go get scanned, go have

1291
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 15: your image taken of the ORB and become a verified

1292
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 15: user world ID. In general, if you want to contribute

1293
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 15: to an Internet in the future where there's more and

1294
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 15: more opportunities for people as opposed to bots and automation,

1295
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 15: then I think you're a good candidate as well.

1296
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: And at some point you were giving people like a

1297
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: little coin or something if they did this. Is that

1298
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: still happening yep.

1299
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 15: So there are lots of different offers that are made

1300
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,439
Speaker 15: by applications. It might be access to a premium tier

1301
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 15: of their service. One of them is you know, the

1302
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 15: network itself. The world network has value, uh, and there

1303
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 15: is a token that reflects that value, and every person

1304
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 15: who becomes verified has the opportunity if they want to

1305
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 15: to own a part of the network.

1306
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: Okay, and the website is World dot org. Is that correct?

1307
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: That's correct? All right, World dot Org. Adrian Ludwig, thanks

1308
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: so much for joining me today. Fascinating stuff World dot Org.

1309
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: Check it out if you want to get your human

1310
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: verification more. Rich on Tech come your way right after this.

1311
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1312
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at Triple eight. Rich one

1313
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four two four one

1314
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: zero one. Let's go to Kenneth in Hollywood, California. Kenneth,

1315
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich Hi?

1316
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 5: Rich, Hi, how are you? My question? My question is

1317
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 5: I have a I'm an electrical contractor and I have

1318
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 5: an electric contracting company. So I have a Google a

1319
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 5: Google phone number that for my business, and then I

1320
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 5: also have my personal cell phone number that I've had

1321
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 5: for years, and they both come to my cell phone

1322
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 5: and I'm trying to figure out a way if there's

1323
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 5: a way to differentiate the two so that I could

1324
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:29,479
Speaker 5: know how if it's a business call coming in through

1325
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 5: my business Google business phone number versus my personal phone number.

1326
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,439
Speaker 1: Ah. Okay, so you're using the same phone, but you've

1327
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: got to two phone numbers funneled to that device. Is

1328
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: that what I'm understanding correct? And is the phone is that?

1329
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Is this a Google Voice number or is it a what?

1330
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: What kind of phone numbers?

1331
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 5: Okay, it's a Google Voice number that I pay monthly for.

1332
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh? Interesting, So you pay monthly for that? What what

1333
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: do you but the benefit of paying monthly? What do

1334
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: you get for that? Because I have Google Voice but

1335
01:06:58,560 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: it's free.

1336
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 5: I guess it's for a business line. I to be honest,

1337
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 5: I haven't even been paying attention.

1338
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, it's just.

1339
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 5: Been it's been this, you know, funneling out of my accounts.

1340
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, but I'm trying to figure I'm trying to

1341
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 5: like consolidate and you know, structure my business a little

1342
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 5: better than the way I've been running it. So I

1343
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 5: have my personal cell phone phone number and then I

1344
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 5: honestly have my electual contracting phone number. So but when

1345
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 5: they when I get calls, it doesn't say any there's

1346
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 5: no It.

1347
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Just shows the person's number, shows the person who's calling

1348
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: call a ready. Okay, Well there is a setting in

1349
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: the consumer version of Google Voice, and you have to

1350
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: check to see if it's in the business version that

1351
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: will display your Google Voice number when someone calls instead

1352
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: of their phone number. So would that work?

1353
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 13: Yeah, I didn't know.

1354
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 5: That's awesome. I didn't know there was upsetting. I'll look

1355
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 5: into that. Or my next option was just to get

1356
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 5: another phone, and then, well you.

1357
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,959
Speaker 1: Can do that, but if you can use the same phone.

1358
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: So basically, there's a setting inside Google Voice if you

1359
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: go into the settings that says, how do you want

1360
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: to display the phone number. Do you want to display

1361
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: the caller's number or do you want do you want

1362
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: to display the Google Voice number? And so when you

1363
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: display the Google Voice number, when you see that number,

1364
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: you know that it is exactly so that is and

1365
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: the option is called show my Google Voice number as

1366
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 1: caller ID when forwarding calls. And you know this is

1367
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: these are smart people at Google that have thought about

1368
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, and they're like, okay, well, how

1369
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: would this person know if it's a business call or not? Now?

1370
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: The only the only downside to that system is that

1371
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: if you were using it, you know a lot of

1372
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: contractors like to text back people that you know, call

1373
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 1: them and things like that, like that would be a

1374
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: little bit tricky because you would not have their phone

1375
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: number in your phone. So that's the only downside to that.

1376
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: But if you're answering your phone and they leave a

1377
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: message or whatever, it's it all worked the same, So

1378
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: you just won't have access to that ability of you know,

1379
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: sometimes when I call a contractor, they'll just you know,

1380
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: they'll text me back information or something right through. They'll

1381
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, just text me at this number. So

1382
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have access to that, So that would be

1383
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: the only downside I can think of.

1384
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 5: Do you have any recommendations as to being able to

1385
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 5: say that, like still have that phone.

1386
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:29,719
Speaker 1: Number and then.

1387
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:35,600
Speaker 5: Have like a complete different system, like go to a

1388
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 5: because I don't think I can go to a T

1389
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 5: Mobile or Rise in store and then have them put

1390
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,919
Speaker 5: that phone number on their service.

1391
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, you usually can. You can ask for a second number.

1392
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Do you have a Do you have an iPhone or

1393
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 1: Android iPhone? Oh you can. You can literally go right

1394
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: now online to Tello or US Mobile, or you can

1395
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: go to your Verizon eighteen ten. They will literally add

1396
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: a second line to your phone now.

1397
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 5: But I'm trying. I'm trying to keep that same phone

1398
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 5: number because I'll I have so much client.

1399
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 1: Tell that the Google. Yeah, they can transfer that. They can,

1400
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 1: they can take it. They can pour it in. It's

1401
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:08,839
Speaker 1: called but here.

1402
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 5: Who doesn't Google doesn't own the phone number, so they

1403
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 5: they'll just give up.

1404
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, they will poured it. It's called a it's

1405
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 1: called a poort in. But here's the deal. I would

1406
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: try this for the you know, I mean, you're already

1407
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: paying ten dollars a month. It looks like minimum. So

1408
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to the thing is you don't

1409
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 1: want to be paying for a whole another line of

1410
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: like ninety dollars a month. That's the thing you want

1411
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: to do. So you could either do something like there's

1412
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: like apps out there that are virtual numbers and some

1413
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: of the let's see if Grasshopper. There's like there's like

1414
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: virtual phone systems like Grasshopper. I would check out grasshopper

1415
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 1: dot com. And there's a bunch of services like that

1416
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: will actually put a virtual number on your phone as

1417
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: an app. You can go that route, or you can

1418
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 1: actually get a secondary sim like an e SIM with

1419
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: a phone number, and you can just use like a

1420
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 1: US Mobile or something to get a very inexpensive phone

1421
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: line or a visible or a cricket and that you

1422
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: can physically have that number. I believe Verizon specifically will

1423
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: give you a second line. I think for like another

1424
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month. I think T Mobile does that.

1425
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: Eighteen team may do it. Just inquire at your carrier first,

1426
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: which one's your carrier, by the way, I Mobile, okay,

1427
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: I think they do a second line for like you

1428
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: can call them up and see if they will do

1429
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: a second line that's connected to your primary line. That

1430
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: does not cost the full like ninety dollars a month.

1431
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: But that was and then what if?

1432
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 5: What if I wanted an option to when UH customer

1433
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 5: calls and.

1434
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Then for it to stay hang on, hang on, I

1435
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta run to break hold on. One second,

1436
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: I'll put you on the line. You're on personal hold

1437
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: on more rich on Tech coming your way right after this.

1438
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

1439
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. Welcome to another hour of

1440
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Phone lines are open eighty to eight

1441
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: rich one on one eighty eight seven four to four,

1442
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 1: one zero one. The website is rich on Tech dot tv.

1443
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: And I'm also on social media at rich on Tech,

1444
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: So if you have a phone, you're on Instagram. Find

1445
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 1: me there, follow me. I often post a lot of

1446
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: cool stuff throughout the week and some silly stuff as well.

1447
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: We had a caller asking about Google Voice and their business,

1448
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: and we talked about that. I got a message from

1449
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Rod he said, Rich, I also use Google Voice for

1450
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 1: my business, and I have the app installed it rings

1451
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: my regular phone, but I set up call screening in

1452
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: Google Voice, so it asks the caller for their name

1453
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: or reason for calling. Then I can choose to accept

1454
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: or reject the call right from my phone. It's been

1455
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: a great way to manage contacts and avoid scam spam.

1456
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: So that's another way to use it. Yeah, Google Voice

1457
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: has been great. I actually I signed up for Google

1458
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: Voice on day one. Let's see if I can find

1459
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,959
Speaker 1: the date grant it used to be called Grand Central.

1460
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see what date that was Grand Central

1461
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: March eleventh, two thousand and nine. That's oh no, okay, nope, sorry,

1462
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:13,719
Speaker 1: that's when. That's when Google relaunched it as as a

1463
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 1: Google Voice. Wow, March eleventh, two thousand and nine, So

1464
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: when did Grand Central launch. Let's see, Now I can't

1465
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,799
Speaker 1: find it. It's really tough to search something like Grand

1466
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: Central launch because there's too many things called Grand Central.

1467
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, I was working at CeNAT at the time.

1468
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: This was Grand Central was what Google Voice was called

1469
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 1: before Google Voice. And this was back in the day

1470
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: when you had a phone line at work, a phone,

1471
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: a cell phone which were just kind of coming up,

1472
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: and then a phone line at home. And so the

1473
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: idea behind Grand Central was that you would give people

1474
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: this one phone number and it would ring all three

1475
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,600
Speaker 1: of those lines at the same time, and then you

1476
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,640
Speaker 1: would pick up the one that you were near. And

1477
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: of course Google bought them almost instantly rebranded them as

1478
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Google Voice, and the rest is history. Let's go to

1479
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Wayne in your Belinda. Wayne, you're on with Rich.

1480
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,799
Speaker 13: All right, Rich, quick question, h I have both Androy

1481
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 13: and iPhone, but most of that andoy, I've tried to

1482
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 13: find the apps where some something can while I'm driving,

1483
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 13: have the the text message anyway, they can read it

1484
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 13: over to me, voice out to me.

1485
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so you want your phone to read your text

1486
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 1: to you while you're driving, correct, yes, and your apps

1487
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: read well. We just tested one for Android that is

1488
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: it does exactly what you want. I don't know how

1489
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 1: good it is over the time, over long term, but uh,

1490
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: what's I got my kid here? We tested it. What's

1491
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: it called Tanner? Oh? Here you go.

1492
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 8: It's called Read My Text Messages. It has like ads

1493
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 8: every time you open it, but it it does the job.

1494
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: Well, it does the job. So Wayne, It's not pretty,

1495
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: but it is simple. And so you install this app

1496
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: on your phone on Android. It's called Read My Text

1497
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: Messages and you toggle it on and it reads your

1498
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 1: messages and then you can also there's one. There's only

1499
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: two simple toggles read messages and then repeat messages. So

1500
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: if you want it to read it out twice, it

1501
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: will do that. The only thing is you have to

1502
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: give it permission to access your text. And the other

1503
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: annoying thing is the ads, but you can remove them.

1504
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: Let's see how much it is to remove them. It

1505
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,560
Speaker 1: is a dollar ninety nine, so well well worth the

1506
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: dollar ninety nine to remove those ads. Do you not

1507
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: Do you not have Android Auto on your phone?

1508
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1509
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 1: I do, yes, So when you get a text, can't

1510
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: you just have Android Auto read it to you?

1511
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 13: Oh, I never picked it out. I never know they

1512
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 13: have the function.

1513
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Android Auto, when you get the text, you

1514
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: should be able to tap the text again and it

1515
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: will just speak it to you. If there's not a

1516
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: little play button. It's been a while since I used

1517
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Android Auto, but there's typic. If you tap the text again,

1518
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: it'll read it to you, or you can just press play,

1519
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: or you can use your Hey, Google, read me that

1520
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 1: last text will It will do that, So that's another

1521
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: way of doing it. And same thing in the iPhone.

1522
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: You should be able to ask it Siri to read

1523
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: your last text and it should work. I haven't tested

1524
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: that right here, but I have no reason to believe

1525
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: it wouldn't work. But those are two ways to do it. Whane,

1526
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're trying to keep your eyes on the road,

1527
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: your hands on the wheel, and you know, I say

1528
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 1: at the end of every show, do not text while driving.

1529
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Please do not text while driving. I see it. It's

1530
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 1: an epidemic. It's an epidemic of distracted drivers, and it

1531
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: is really bad. It's causing accidents. People run into each other.

1532
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Almost every single accident I see on the side of

1533
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: the road, I say, that's guaranteed that was because of

1534
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: distracted driving, because people are bumping into each other. They're

1535
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: just literally bumping into each other. How does that happen?

1536
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: That happens when you are not looking at the car

1537
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 1: in front of you, because you're looking down. And I

1538
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: see it every day. People are sitting there and believe me,

1539
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: I look, I am not holier than thou here. Believe me.

1540
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 1: I want to text my entire drive like we're all

1541
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: getting texts, right, and I really do I text while drive.

1542
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: Don't be honest, No, you don't.

1543
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 2: Uh.

1544
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 8: Whenever you get a text message, Uh, you don't even

1545
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 8: look at your phone. You literally just focus. But another

1546
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 8: thing I want to say is that I see people

1547
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 8: literally looking at their phones when they're crossing the road

1548
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 8: at a crosswalk, and like, I'm just thinking, what if

1549
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 8: someone ran that light and they got hurt?

1550
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:39,759
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, well that's why that's called survival of the fittest.

1551
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 8: Like, what's the point of looking at your phone? Like

1552
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 8: your life could be at state?

1553
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, I'm not kidding.

1554
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 6: We are.

1555
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: We are building a world of zombies. You're you've seen

1556
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: the zombie movies, right, and it looks scary the blood

1557
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: coming out of their mouth and stuff. No, we already

1558
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: are here. We are the zombies. We are literally beholden

1559
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: to these tiny screens that we hold and we look

1560
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: at them. We fall into fountains, we fall off cliffs.

1561
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not kidding. These are all things that

1562
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 1: have happened. Cars run into us because we are so

1563
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 1: unaware as humans with this thing in front of us,

1564
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: and we can't get enough of it. And it's just

1565
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: like now we get the watch, so the watch goes off,

1566
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: you get that ping. I mean soon they're just gonna

1567
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 1: pop it right in your brain and you'll just get

1568
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 1: that little bizz right when you need it. Speaking of phones,

1569
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: Apple launched an emoji game this week and Apple News Plus.

1570
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: It's called Emoji Game, and you are challenged to fill

1571
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: in the blanks of three short phrases using emojis, and

1572
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: some of them are actually generated by Apple's ai called

1573
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: gen Mooji. Each puzzle has a bunch of clues you

1574
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: can reveal, but the whole point of this is to

1575
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: figure this out in the least amount of moves total.

1576
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: So you can just drag all the emojis to the words,

1577
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 1: but that's gonna cost you your turns. So if you

1578
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: like emojis and you like these puzzle games, this could

1579
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: be fun. I tried playing it. I mean, maybe I'll

1580
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: give it another chance. I'm not a big emoji guy,

1581
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: Like I just don't really care that much about them,

1582
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,639
Speaker 1: and so I I don't know, It's like, it doesn't

1583
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 1: really appeal to me per se. But it's fun and

1584
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: it's different, and if you're looking for kind of like

1585
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: that brain challenge, that is that is nice. So again,

1586
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: if you're a you do have to be an Apple

1587
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: Newsplus subscriber for this to work, so you have to

1588
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: be paying for Apple News Plus. But if you are,

1589
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: by the way, you have access to a whole bunch

1590
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: of games and things inside Apple News Plus.

1591
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 8: Yes, Like, my dad plays crosswords at a lot of

1592
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 8: places when he's bored, and I think Apple Newsplus is

1593
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 8: worth it.

1594
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: Oh you think it's worth something? You're not paying for what? No?

1595
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.

1596
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 8: I just think it's good to challenge your brain.

1597
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: Like, I agree.

1598
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 8: Like I like a good brain teaser, or like those

1599
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 8: crossword games.

1600
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:55,719
Speaker 1: I agree. Uh, let's go to Stan Stands in uh

1601
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: Granada Hills. You're on with Rich and my kids.

1602
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 4: Hey, Rich, that's how you doing.

1603
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. What's up Stan? You don't text and drive,

1604
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: do you?

1605
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 4: Of course I drive.

1606
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 2: I don't text when I drive back. I I'm just

1607
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 2: beginning to learn how to text.

1608
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 1: Oh well good, then don't don't learn how to text

1609
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: with one hand on the wheel. Don't don't get that.

1610
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I use the voice the type of

1611
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 2: text thing perfect the microphone. But I'm an analog person.

1612
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 2: I've been doing that for many, many years. I repair

1613
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 2: and resurrect old turntables, record players.

1614
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, Yeah it is.

1615
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 4: I like it.

1616
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 2: I've been doing it since nineteen fifty nine.

1617
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So people bring in like an old

1618
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: school like a what like a photograph kind of thing?

1619
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 2: Exactly right?

1620
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: And huh, how do you get the parts for these things?

1621
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 2: Well, there's still some parts available. Sometimes we have to

1622
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:56,639
Speaker 2: work around whatever we can. And sometimes I take parts

1623
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 2: off of an old turntable and you know, whatever is

1624
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 2: there if I and the left and go from there.

1625
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, that's cool. What's your favorite album all time?

1626
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 2: Wow? I have so many of them. Right off. The

1627
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 2: first one comes to mind is the Four Seasons by Vivaldi.

1628
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: The also Four Seasons by Vivaldi.

1629
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well it's a oh.

1630
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: I got it, got it violent stuff. Okay, all right,

1631
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: Bobo's rushing me along here. We got to get to break.

1632
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 1: So what's what's the question you said you have?

1633
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 2: Well, my question is I'm I'm trying to get learn

1634
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 2: a little bit more about computers. And I have an

1635
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:48,440
Speaker 2: iPhone seven, which is a very old It's been upgraded

1636
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 2: by Apple, I say, because I needed a new battery,

1637
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 2: so they upgraded it. But I need more storage for

1638
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 2: my pictures. And then whatever comes up it says it's

1639
01:21:58,720 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 2: been disabled.

1640
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have.

1641
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 2: An iPad that was given to me as a gift,

1642
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 2: and I don't know how to connect them together to

1643
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 2: my phone, and I just have so many questions.

1644
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Well, we have a whole nother hour. We may have

1645
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: to go to break Well while I'm explaining, but what

1646
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: what do you want to do? Do you want a

1647
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: new phone? Do you want a new laptop? Do you

1648
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,680
Speaker 1: want a new iPad? Do you want to just connect them?

1649
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: What do you what are you trying to do?

1650
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 2: I want to I would love to connect the iPad

1651
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 2: to my phone, and I would love to get more

1652
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 2: out of my phone, more use out of my phone.

1653
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'll be honest, and iPhone seven is out of

1654
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 1: uh it's end of life, which means there's no more

1655
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: software updates for it. There's no more there's no more

1656
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: support for it. So you are at risk of you know,

1657
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: anything that could you know, exploits, let's say, and apps

1658
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 1: may no longer update or install in that device. So

1659
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: I would if I were you, what I would do

1660
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: is what my kid has a suggestion? What is it?

1661
01:22:56,360 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 8: I would recommend the iPhone sixteen E. It's like small,

1662
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 8: like the iPhone seven, and it's like lightweight, and it's

1663
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 8: not like a huge phone like today. I mean I

1664
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:11,640
Speaker 8: kind of tested it for a while and I just

1665
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 8: think it's a really good phone. Yeah, pas storage, it's

1666
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 8: good for like the everyday use.

1667
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. So I would say,

1668
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: if you're going to upgrade your iPhone seven, go with

1669
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: the sixteen E. It's about six hundred bucks. I know

1670
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: you didn't call to spend money, but if you want

1671
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: to get up to speed on this stuff, and if

1672
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,560
Speaker 1: your phone is fine, you're not doing a lot of

1673
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: banking and stuff on it, and you don't care about

1674
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: the apps, you can still use it. It's just you

1675
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,600
Speaker 1: have to remember that it's not supported anymore with the

1676
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,639
Speaker 1: with the iPad. If you want to link them up,

1677
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: you just have to sign in with the same iCloud ID.

1678
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Do you have an Apple ID for your phone?

1679
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 4: No?

1680
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: I don't, Okay, all right, So get an Apple ID,

1681
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: sign up for that, and then sign in on both

1682
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: your iPhone and the iPad with the same one, and

1683
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,679
Speaker 1: that will get you on the journey of connecting those things,

1684
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: and your text messages will come through the iPad, your

1685
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: photos will come through the I've had your bookmarks, all

1686
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: that good stuff. Stan, I wish we had you for

1687
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: the whole show. Do you got so many questions? That's

1688
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: going to do it? What we got to go to break?

1689
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Welcome back to Rich on Tech.

1690
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: Let's go to Michelle in Glendale, California. Michelle, you're on

1691
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 1: with Rich and Family. What's up?

1692
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 9: Okay? Apple sent me a message that my iCloud storage

1693
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 9: is full and suggested elevate my to upgrade my storage

1694
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 9: by paying nine months. It's called stop storage. But I

1695
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 9: don't really want to do that. So I want to know, Oh,

1696
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,879
Speaker 9: what is your best advice of what kind of device

1697
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 9: or option that you can advise the best way to

1698
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 9: stopping my photos?

1699
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:51,759
Speaker 14: First?

1700
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 9: Do that? Do that device or app? And then after

1701
01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 9: I do it, then then delete photos on my phone.

1702
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: Okay, so the first my first question for you is

1703
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: are you positive that this email you got is legitimate

1704
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:09,559
Speaker 1: from Apple?

1705
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 9: No, it's not a They didn't send me by email.

1706
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 9: They just send it to me by I guess by text.

1707
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well that's that's a red flag. Now now

1708
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. So the thing is the first thing

1709
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: we want to do is go on your phone. Do

1710
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 1: you have your iPhone with you or you on it

1711
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: right now.

1712
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I have the iPhone with me.

1713
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So you want to go to your phone and

1714
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: then settings, and then up at the top it has

1715
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 1: your name and it says iCloud. So you want to

1716
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,639
Speaker 1: tap there, and then you want to tap iCloud one

1717
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: more time. Can you do that while we're on the

1718
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: line here or no?

1719
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, because I actually have two phones?

1720
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, So so follow along. So we got settings.

1721
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: Are you there yet?

1722
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:04,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm already there.

1723
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: Settings, iCloud up at the top. You see your name

1724
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 1: or your your Apple account all the way at the top,

1725
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: right right, yeah, top of that. Okay. Now, now in

1726
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: this list where it says your name, you're a little

1727
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: you have a emoji set up? Or no, a like

1728
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: a little picture of you up at the top. No, okay,

1729
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Oh got it your initials. O. Guess

1730
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 1: you're on the right page. And now you see where

1731
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 1: it says I cloud. Wait minute, kind of like under

1732
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: it says personal information, sign in, payment, and how much

1733
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 1: does it say under next to I Cloud? What does

1734
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 1: this say there? Two hundred two hundred gigabytes? Okay, perfect?

1735
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: Now tap in there and let's see what it says

1736
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: up at the top or it says storage. What does

1737
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 1: it say there?

1738
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 9: Arge pool?

1739
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So so the email is legitimate, and the

1740
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 1: email is or the text or whatever they sent you

1741
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: is legitimate.

1742
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 9: So oh, actually they didn't send it to me by text.

1743
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 9: They have a notation here below saying to upgrade the

1744
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 9: two TV.

1745
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, do you think you could fill two terabytes?

1746
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 1: I don't think so that's a lot. Yeah, I don't

1747
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: need No, you don't need that. Okay. So the first

1748
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: thing I want you to do before you go ahead

1749
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,480
Speaker 1: and try to do anything else, go into this storage

1750
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:31,759
Speaker 1: and you'll see there's a whole bunch of things underneath

1751
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 1: it where it says like iCloud drive, backups, messages. Do

1752
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:36,600
Speaker 1: you see all that?

1753
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 9: I mean, I go back?

1754
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: No, no, just tapport says storage up at the top

1755
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,600
Speaker 1: and see and it'll show you what's taking up your storage.

1756
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: So a lot of times, your your backups of old

1757
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: iPhones and your I messages are taking up a ton

1758
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 1: of storage. So for instance, my backups are taking up

1759
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: four hun gigabytes and my messages I message is taking

1760
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: up twelve gigabytes. Now why do I need twelve gigabytes

1761
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: of I message I probably don't. So my point is

1762
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 1: you can go in there and clear out some things. Now,

1763
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,799
Speaker 1: if you back out on that screen, it also says

1764
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 1: recommended for you, and it will show you a couple

1765
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 1: of ways to clear out your storage as well. So

1766
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,120
Speaker 1: there's another place I want you to look on your

1767
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: phone if you go to Settings, and I can't do

1768
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 1: this all on the phone, so you've got to run

1769
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: to break But if you go to Settings General, there

1770
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: is one that's called iPhone Storage and you can tap

1771
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: that and some of that will tell you what's taking

1772
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 1: up the storage on your iPhone, which is then a

1773
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: lot of times reflected into your iCloud. So with all

1774
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: that said, I think the first thing you should do

1775
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 1: is probably clear out some things on your phone that

1776
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: you don't need. That's number one. But if you want

1777
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:55,559
Speaker 1: to offload some of these photos to somewhere else, if

1778
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: you're a Prime member on Amazon, you can upload unlimited

1779
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 1: for free there, or you can get a USB drive

1780
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: if you check my Instagram at rich on Tech, I

1781
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 1: can show you how to transfer your photos from your

1782
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: iPhone to a flash drive. More rich on Tech. Right

1783
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: after this, Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro

1784
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,639
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you, talking technology. The website for

1785
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: the show is rich on Tech dot tv. You can

1786
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 1: follow me on Instagram at rich on Tech. I do

1787
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: post a decent amount of stuff on Instagram. Usually I

1788
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 1: try to be helpful there. So this week I did

1789
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:34,599
Speaker 1: post how to transfer your photos from your iPhone or

1790
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:39,600
Speaker 1: Android to a flash drive and it's a very simple process.

1791
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 1: You can transfer them, then you can clear out the

1792
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 1: space on your phone whatever you want to do. I

1793
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 1: will say I'm not making this into a competition, but

1794
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 1: the iPhone video has like one hundred and thirty five

1795
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 1: thousand views. The Android video has only fourteen thousand. Where's

1796
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:59,240
Speaker 1: the wamp wamph And then I also have an explain

1797
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 1: an explainer on the ring hacking situation that is is

1798
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: or is not a real situation. We're not really sure,

1799
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,559
Speaker 1: but anyway, that's all rich on Tech on Instagram follow

1800
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: me there. Uh and we have a guest right now.

1801
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,440
Speaker 1: Logan Seacrest is a fellow at the r Street Institute.

1802
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: They have a new report about body cameras on police

1803
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:23,680
Speaker 1: and specifically AI how that's being used or should be

1804
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,120
Speaker 1: used on these cameras. Logan, thanks for joining me today.

1805
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, thanks for having me rich.

1806
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 1: So the past, the present, and future of police body cameras.

1807
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: We know that these body cameras are very prevalent. What

1808
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 1: what do you what's the reason for their uptake in

1809
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 1: the world here.

1810
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 16: So I think the reason for their uptake is that

1811
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 16: they are you know, potentially very very useful. Body cameras

1812
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:53,719
Speaker 16: are useful evidentiary uses obviously, and they have a training

1813
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:54,599
Speaker 16: uses for for.

1814
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 1: Police as well.

1815
01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 16: You know, I think one of the reasons that AI

1816
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 16: is apply to them is that for many years, body

1817
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 16: cameras have produced many, many thousands of hours of video,

1818
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:11,759
Speaker 16: particularly for a large law enforcement agency. You know, almost

1819
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 16: eighty percent of agencies in the United States use body cameras,

1820
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 16: and the sheer volume of this footage that the cameras

1821
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:22,919
Speaker 16: generated has created a data data management problem that agencies

1822
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 16: have struggled with for years. So as a result, you know,

1823
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 16: vast amounts of footage kind of just languished on servers,

1824
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 16: you know, unlaunched, uncatalog, unused. You know, this is a

1825
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:36,800
Speaker 16: vast reservoir of untapped lal enforcement intel. Really, so AI

1826
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,799
Speaker 16: systems are able to scan you know, hundreds of hours

1827
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 16: of video and seconds and you know, I've looked at

1828
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:46,639
Speaker 16: some early pilot programs that suggest that AI video review,

1829
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:50,879
Speaker 16: you know, jagely, when guided by human oversight, can uncover

1830
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 16: evidence that might otherwise go overlooked, or identify potential instances.

1831
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:56,799
Speaker 1: Of off service conduct.

1832
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:58,640
Speaker 16: You know, you can even you can even generate the

1833
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 16: first draft of a police report. Uh so, yeah, there's

1834
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 16: there's a lot of.

1835
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 1: Uses for this technology. Oh wow, that's fascinating because I

1836
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 1: just recently did a story with a very similar use

1837
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: where basically a company would come in and put their

1838
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:16,560
Speaker 1: little box in connected to all of the security cameras

1839
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 1: in a store, and basically, you know, nobody could watch

1840
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: all the footage from security cameras, but AI can, and

1841
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:26,759
Speaker 1: so AI would flag things like theft in real time

1842
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 1: by scanning all this footage. And that's very interesting what

1843
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: you're saying about these bodycam footage. It's like, okay, we've

1844
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:35,759
Speaker 1: got it, and a lot of times if something bubbles

1845
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 1: up and it's like a huge thing, of course they're

1846
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,679
Speaker 1: going to go back to that video. But what about

1847
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 1: all the other stuff that happens. And so that's the

1848
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: question of you know, I could see good and bad

1849
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 1: for this because number one, like you said police officer misconduct.

1850
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 1: You know, the AI might flag for that. But also

1851
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:55,520
Speaker 1: when you can identify everyone in a crowd because of AI,

1852
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 1: that's where it gets interesting as well.

1853
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 16: Right, Yeah, I think I think it's really really interesting

1854
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 16: you bring that up, you know, because contextually it matters

1855
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,839
Speaker 16: a lot here. Yeah, you know, you look at a

1856
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,719
Speaker 16: at a major international airport, you know, something like LAX

1857
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 16: where you know, terrorism as a serious threat. Uh, these

1858
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 16: kind of systems AI video systems can save lives. You know,

1859
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 16: you take the same technology, you put it on a

1860
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 16: body camera, and you take it to a protest in

1861
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 16: a public park. Uh, you know, the same that same

1862
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 16: technology is a serious threat to civil liberties, you know,

1863
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 16: so what place it would start? Just you know, in

1864
01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:37,840
Speaker 16: terms of regulating, some of this is limiting the use

1865
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 16: of facial recognition during some of those constitutionally protected activities

1866
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 16: like a peaceful protest. You know, a system that makes

1867
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 16: sense you know in a bank or you know on

1868
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 16: some kind of mass transit system maybe doesn't doesn't make

1869
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 16: sense you know, on every corner on it, in every

1870
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 16: street front. The public private partnership aspect of this is

1871
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:08,680
Speaker 16: pretty interesting because there's there's new uh uh there's these

1872
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 16: kind of new UH agreements between private businesses and law

1873
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 16: enforcement agencies that are creating shared networks, and they're places

1874
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 16: like New Orleans and Tulsa and other places are applying

1875
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 16: AI to these shared networks, you know, and that that

1876
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 16: potentially opens up a situation where police have a three

1877
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 16: hundred and sixty degree coverage of a neighborhood or even

1878
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 16: entire city, operating continuously day and night, uh and without

1879
01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 16: any kind of uh, you know, oversight or restriction and

1880
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 16: and and that's the kind of kind of black mirror

1881
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 16: dystopian future that I think we want to avoid in

1882
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 16: the United States.

1883
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a lot of this really does come down

1884
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: to some of the regulations and standards that we have,

1885
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 1: because every police department operates independently, right, Like, there's not

1886
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 1: like one kind of national system that regulates all of these,

1887
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:05,280
Speaker 1: right So it's and I think a lot of it

1888
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:08,600
Speaker 1: is being pushed by these companies that create the cameras

1889
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 1: because obviously they want to sell them and get them

1890
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:14,639
Speaker 1: used as much as possible, and of course the storage

1891
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: and things like that. So I mean, what is the solution.

1892
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:22,719
Speaker 1: Is it the you know, the policies or what, Yeah.

1893
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 16: I think it really is. You know, the technology, the

1894
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 16: technology is a tool. The technology is like any other

1895
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:30,440
Speaker 16: powerful technology.

1896
01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 1: It can be used for for good or for ill.

1897
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:38,760
Speaker 16: You know, whether it's used for for good or ill

1898
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 16: comes down to the policy guardrails that we put in place.

1899
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:47,600
Speaker 16: You know, the line between public safety and state surveillance

1900
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:49,760
Speaker 16: isn't really in the technology, but it is in those

1901
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 16: policies that government that government. You know, here in our Street,

1902
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 16: we saw that AI was kind of transforming some of

1903
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 16: the house and these law enforcement video systems work, and

1904
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 16: nobody had kind of mapped the risks and opportunities clearly.

1905
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 16: So the report is basically to help policy makers catch up.

1906
01:36:09,479 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 16: You know, I think sometimes in public policy we're always

1907
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:15,640
Speaker 16: complaining that that we're behind the technology, right and at

1908
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:18,479
Speaker 16: our Street, we're trying to get policy makers in front

1909
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:22,520
Speaker 16: of the technology for once rather than rather than playing catchup.

1910
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 1: So they can understand what's coming, what the implications are

1911
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 1: of this. Because when you really like, this is not

1912
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 1: I've always thought of this idea of the AI stuff

1913
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 1: that's coming on board, it's like it is superhuman. And

1914
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 1: that's the big difference is that, you know, if you

1915
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 1: wanted to put a camera at every intersection that spit

1916
01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 1: out a ticket for every single person that does something

1917
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:44,680
Speaker 1: wrong at that intersection. I know we have read light

1918
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 1: cameras and those are controversial in their own aspect of

1919
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 1: their own regard. But you know, when I was a kid,

1920
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 1: I had this idea of a car that what if

1921
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 1: your car like there's nothing in this day and age

1922
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:57,680
Speaker 1: that we have with our cars that are basically iPhones

1923
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 1: on wheels from literally looking at the law and saying, oh,

1924
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 1: you're going over the speed lemit here, let's spit out

1925
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 1: a ticket. Let's email it to your house right like

1926
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 1: that that could happen. And the reason it doesn't is

1927
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: because we have kind of protocols in place where that

1928
01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: is not something that happens in America. But with AI

1929
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: and technology, it's kind of challenging all of this stuff

1930
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 1: because what's possible now was never possible before.

1931
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 16: That's right, And I think that's that's one of the

1932
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:31,720
Speaker 16: things to that is different about AI as a technology

1933
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 16: is such a powerful force multiplier and fundamentally change the

1934
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:43,440
Speaker 16: balance of power between the public and the government, between

1935
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:46,280
Speaker 16: the people and the government, and that is in the

1936
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 16: United States a very delicate balance that we always have

1937
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 16: to be kind of fine tuning and watching. So this

1938
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 16: technology has the potential to really throw that balance out

1939
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:01,040
Speaker 16: of whack. If the government is able to watched you

1940
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 16: wherever you go, identify every place that you are, without

1941
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 16: any kind of barriers or or or warrants or kind

1942
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:15,679
Speaker 16: of judicial and legal oversight, then that is, uh, that

1943
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:19,719
Speaker 16: that poys us some pretty pretty challenge challenging, uh challenging problems,

1944
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 16: UH similiberty sis constitutionally speaking, and uh, that's we We

1945
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 16: want this technology because it is it is, it can

1946
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 16: be very useful.

1947
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 1: We just need to implement.

1948
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 16: It in a way that uh is in line with

1949
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 16: American ideals.

1950
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. It reminds me of these TV shows where they're

1951
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:40,720
Speaker 1: looking for someone and they're like, all right, now, give

1952
01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 1: me a scan of all the cameras in the area,

1953
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, it seemed unrealistic and you know,

1954
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 1: probably very time consuming. But in the future that is

1955
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 1: something that is actually very easily done with AI and

1956
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:57,600
Speaker 1: with these networks of cameras and you know, the unlimited

1957
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: server space and things like this, like that is a

1958
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 1: possibility to track someone down very quickly and easily. And

1959
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,559
Speaker 1: we already do it, but it's probably much more manual

1960
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 1: than it could be in the future. So really interesting stuff.

1961
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:11,839
Speaker 1: Where can folks find this report?

1962
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, the the R Street website is always always a

1963
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 16: good place for that. It's www dot or street dot org.

1964
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,240
Speaker 16: It'll be there, and you know it's on our on

1965
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 16: our social media feeds. Uh, it's pretty easy to find

1966
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 16: if you if you just google a body camera or

1967
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:28,960
Speaker 16: street that will also pop up them.

1968
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 1: All right, Logan Seacrest at the R Street Institute, thanks

1969
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 1: so much for joining me today. Thanks rich all right,

1970
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. All Right, we're gonna go to break.

1971
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:42,600
Speaker 1: We got the feedbag coming up. We're gonna talk to

1972
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 1: my kids about a couple of things on their mind,

1973
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 1: and uh, we're gonna wrap up the show rich on

1974
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: Tech dot TV. We'll be right back. Welcome back to

1975
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech. A couple of headlines to get to

1976
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: before we talk to my kids and then get to

1977
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 1: the feedbag. First off, you haven't checked your bitcoin. If

1978
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 1: you've got it, definitely check it. It has been surging

1979
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:08,800
Speaker 1: in the past week, up twenty eight percent for the year.

1980
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 1: I would give you all the reasons why, but there's

1981
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:13,679
Speaker 1: never really a reason. Just check it out and see

1982
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,320
Speaker 1: if you have it. It's kind of fun to watch

1983
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 1: if you've got it. Finally, it's back up Chrome. If

1984
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 1: you're on Android, lets you move the address bar to

1985
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: the bottom of the screen. So if you open up

1986
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 1: Chrome on your Android, you see a little message that says, hey,

1987
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: do you want to move the address bar to the

1988
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 1: bottom of your screen? You now have that option. You

1989
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 1: can also try long pressing on the address bar and

1990
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:36,800
Speaker 1: you should see the message that says move address bar

1991
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 1: to the bottom. They did this on the iPhone a

1992
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 1: long time ago. Apple moved theirs on Safari a long

1993
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 1: time ago, and so now you can do it on Android.

1994
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like it down there, I'm

1995
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: testing it, but anyway, you do have to have the

1996
01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 1: latest version of Chrome, and it's rolling out, so you

1997
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 1: may not have it immediately. I was playing Donkey Kong

1998
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: Bonanza last night on the Switch too, and I gotta

1999
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 1: say it is fun, fun, fun. It is just a

2000
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,559
Speaker 1: game where you go around smashing things. It is really

2001
01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:06,720
Speaker 1: fun and the audio is great, the sound effects, the gameplay,

2002
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 1: that everything. So I am really really loving that game.

2003
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:15,599
Speaker 1: Apparently reviewers are too. IGN says it is Nintendo's first

2004
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 1: switch to Masterpiece, So definitely get that one for the

2005
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:22,759
Speaker 1: kids if they have a switch to and a website

2006
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 1: to tell you about. Snitcher dot space. Snitcher dot space.

2007
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:30,360
Speaker 1: If you get a suspicious email you're wondering if it's

2008
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:33,880
Speaker 1: phishing or a scam, you can send it to scan

2009
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 1: at Snitcher dot space and they will send you back

2010
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 1: a report. It can analyze for romance scams, fake lotteries,

2011
01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 1: investment fraud, emergency ployees, whatever. It'll give you all the

2012
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 1: red flags and it kind of explains why you can

2013
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:49,679
Speaker 1: also do the same thing by control a and putting

2014
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:51,720
Speaker 1: it into like CHATGBT and say tell me if this

2015
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 1: is scam. All right, let's talk to my kid Tanner

2016
01:41:55,680 --> 01:42:00,719
Speaker 1: about this sensation on Roadblocks called Grow a Garden. Twenty

2017
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:05,960
Speaker 1: one million players. This thing is incredibly popular. What the

2018
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: heck is grow a garden on Roadblocks?

2019
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 8: Grow a Garden is exactly what it sounds like, you

2020
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 8: grow a garden, though it is based off of rang.

2021
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:18,679
Speaker 8: There is a seed shop and it restocks every four

2022
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 8: minutes and every player sees the same thing on there,

2023
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 8: and it's local sided for you. So if you buy

2024
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 8: something in the shop and then if another person looks

2025
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 8: at the shop, they'll see something, but you won't.

2026
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:35,719
Speaker 1: What does that mean, I don't understand anything you just said.

2027
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,559
Speaker 1: If that makes sense to me. What's fun about this?

2028
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:40,559
Speaker 1: Are you growing plants and then selling them?

2029
01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:43,479
Speaker 8: So yeah, what's fun about it is there's mutation. So

2030
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 8: you grow a plant. Let's say you grow a carrot,

2031
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 8: which is the most common thing, so you grow it,

2032
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 8: and then there's mutations like drenched.

2033
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: What's the point just to keep you online?

2034
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:58,160
Speaker 8: The point basically is it grows offline, which is a

2035
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 8: big thing that people like you always want to come

2036
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:02,639
Speaker 8: back to see how your garden grew.

2037
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:04,439
Speaker 1: Ah, So that's what I think.

2038
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 8: It's keeping players in. And there's super rare seeds like

2039
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 8: the giant pine cone seed or the burning bud or

2040
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:14,720
Speaker 8: ember lily, and those are very rarely in stock. So

2041
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 8: that's what keeps kids keep wanting to go into the

2042
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 8: game because they want to see if.

2043
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:20,000
Speaker 9: It's in stock.

2044
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 1: So it's definitely psychological warfare. Of course we get that

2045
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: all roadblocks games are. But what's funny about this is

2046
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 1: that you also have a YouTube channel. I'm not kidding.

2047
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:33,320
Speaker 1: It's like the CNBC of Grow a Garden. They so

2048
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 1: they sit there on the on the couch and they

2049
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 1: play this game with this with this stock market thing

2050
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:40,840
Speaker 1: on the TV. And what's it showing you?

2051
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 8: So basically it's showing what's in the sheet seeds shop.

2052
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 8: And there's also like merchants that come around, uh like

2053
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:54,960
Speaker 8: daily and they sell stuff, so like it shows that

2054
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:57,680
Speaker 8: and it shows like eggs. You can have pets that

2055
01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:03,240
Speaker 8: like can help you find different seeds. And that's basically

2056
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:05,440
Speaker 8: the game. And there's mutations.

2057
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,440
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are calling it the new Farmville.

2058
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:10,080
Speaker 1: But for kids, yeah, I do.

2059
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 8: I don't think it deserves all of the players because

2060
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 8: it is a little like come back, Yeah do the

2061
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 8: sing come back to the same Like there's no way

2062
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:22,280
Speaker 8: to actually defeat it.

2063
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:25,480
Speaker 1: No, well, no roadblocks game can you defeat? I mean realistically,

2064
01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, well build a voote for treasure, okay, roadblocks

2065
01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: or Minecraft. Well, actually we're gonna get to Minecraft in

2066
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 1: a second. But real quick, this person who created the game,

2067
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 1: let's switch to Parker. He's going to tell us about

2068
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:41,280
Speaker 1: what he did that went viral, the grow a Garden.

2069
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,160
Speaker 1: The guy who created it is making like five million

2070
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 1: dollars a month on this thing. Yes on kids playing

2071
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: a game on roadblocks, just to remember that. So here's

2072
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 1: what I always tell my kids. Don't be the ones

2073
01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:54,360
Speaker 1: playing the game, be the ones making the game. That's

2074
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:56,799
Speaker 1: what I want them to do, all right, Parker, Parker

2075
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,559
Speaker 1: did something where you created a video that went viral

2076
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 1: on YouTube? What was it?

2077
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 11: All right? That is correct?

2078
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 10: So I talked about this actually a couple of months ago,

2079
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 10: and I talked about the Minecraft movie and how much

2080
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:09,759
Speaker 10: I liked it.

2081
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:10,759
Speaker 11: It's a great movie.

2082
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:12,880
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say it's the best of all time, but

2083
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 10: it's great. And there was a song that went viral

2084
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:17,799
Speaker 10: in it called Steve's Lava Chicken. It was pretty catchy,

2085
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:21,759
Speaker 10: thirty second song, supposedly one of the most viral songs

2086
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 10: that is classified as a song.

2087
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 11: It was only thirty seconds.

2088
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,719
Speaker 10: So I made a video It was basically Steve's Lava Chicken,

2089
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 10: and it uploaded it backwards.

2090
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 1: You just backwards this song.

2091
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 10: I did not, you know, I just like, you know,

2092
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 10: if some people like it backwards, and I just wanted

2093
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:39,760
Speaker 10: to be out there so people can easily have it

2094
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 10: at their fingertips because everyone likes that. People don't want

2095
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 10: to have to go into it and edit themselves for

2096
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:45,280
Speaker 10: five minutes.

2097
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: So if you search, oh wow, okay, so I guess

2098
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:50,360
Speaker 1: some other people did this as well, because I just

2099
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 1: searched for it on YouTube. But yeah, it's just basically

2100
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 1: Steve's Lava Chicken reverse. But it got like, what like

2101
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:56,520
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand.

2102
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:58,959
Speaker 11: Views Now it's up to three thirty three hundred.

2103
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:01,840
Speaker 1: And thirty thousand views, just re versing something unbelievable.

2104
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 10: And it's not even like a YouTube shore it's just

2105
01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 10: a regular video and those are even harder to get today,

2106
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:10,559
Speaker 10: to the views, which I didn't even think is gonna

2107
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 10: go this big, you know, started out just small, kept

2108
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 10: on going up.

2109
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:16,560
Speaker 11: Now of course it's died down, but it's still.

2110
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 1: You worked on a new video today. What's your new one?

2111
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 1: Give us to give us it before you upload it.

2112
01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:23,160
Speaker 11: Okay, we got it right before I upload it.

2113
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:28,080
Speaker 10: It's basically the song this is Me, and it's I

2114
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 10: instead of doing it's like I am brave, I am bruised,

2115
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 10: I am who I meant to be.

2124
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:01,120
