Speaker 1: This week, we've got Amanda. She is a founder of

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: the app Accelerator. She's going to talk about how you

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: can turn an app idea into a real product without

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: being technical. And we've experienced this firsthand in my house.

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: This week, I'll explain and one of our favorites, Caleb

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Dennison is going to break down what actually matters for

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: buying a TV for the Super Bowl. Yes, and we

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: have a big story this week that he's going to

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: comment on as well that I'm going to talk about

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: right now because I just cannot believe this. This is

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: a major shift in the TV world. Sony is basically

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: handing its TV business over to TCL.

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: Now.

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I grew up with

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Sony TVs. That was the gold standard of TVs.

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: Right.

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: If you had a Treni Tron, that big old Honkin

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: TV set in your living room, you were living large, right.

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, there is the people with the Projector

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: TVs that was a whole other level. But if you

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: had a Sony TV, you had the best of the best,

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: and they ruled for many, many years, and they still do.

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to picture quality, every expert

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: I've talked to, Sony is still tops. But here's the deal.

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: They're feeling pressure from China and all these other upstarts,

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: not just China but also South Korea with Samsung TCL

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: high sense. But if you can't beat them, join them.

45
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: So TCL and Sony are teaming up for TVs and

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: home audio. TCL is going to own fifty one percent

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: of the new company, which means they have the commanding

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: lead here. Sony will keep forty nine percent. But TCL

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: is going to bring all of the smarts when it

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: comes to manufacturing, design, manufacturing, sales, shipping, customer support. Make

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: no mistake, TCL is in charge here now, even though

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: they're running the operation TVs and this is smart, this

53
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: is very smart. TVs are going to carry the Sony

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: and Bravia name. So the next time in a couple

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: of years, when you buy a Sony Bravia TV, look

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: closely at the back, it will say manufactured by TCL.

57
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: How wild is that? So? Sony obviously is bringing all

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: of their picture processing, their audio technology, everything that they

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: know about making those that picture on that screen look amazing.

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: But TCL is bringing everything it knows about manufacturing, and

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: they do everything top down, so they've got their own

62
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: display panels. They know how to keep costs down but

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: make the quality high. And I think that that's really

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: what put TCL on the map. You'd sit there, you'd

65
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: go to costco. Do they sell tcls at Costco. I'm

66
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: sure they do wherever they sell them. But you'd go

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: into the store best Buy and you say, hold on,

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: I could get this TV that's sixty five inches from

69
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Sony for a couple thousand dollars, or I can get

70
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: this TV from TCL for a couple hundred dollars. I

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: think I'm going with the TCL. And that's what happened

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: over and over and over. So the goal here is

73
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: obviously to compete with the other giants out there that

74
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: are still going to be competing in a big way,

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: like Samsung in high sense, but this could be big.

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: I think that this will really help the Sony Bravia

77
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: name get into more households. And Sony, as we know,

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: has been kind of, you know, not focusing so much

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: on TVs. They're looking more at their gaming, their movies,

80
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: all the stuff that they still do in that aspect

81
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: is a huge part of Sony's business. They've got the

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: car where they teamed up with Honda, the Sony Afila.

83
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. It's not going to be overnight.

84
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: This deal still needs approval, but the new venture could

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: launch in twenty twenty seven. I just thought that was wild.

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Now our other top story of the week also has

87
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: to do with China. See the trend here. After years

88
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: of drama, we finally have a deal to keep TikTok

89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 1: in the US.

90
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 4: Now.

91
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good thing or a

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: bad thing to some of you. You're thinking, ugh, that's annoying.

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Bobo's clapping. I'm sure for all the creators out there

94
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: that were worried about losing their livelihood, this is a

95
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: good thing for them. But the app has struck a

96
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: deal to create a new American version of TikTok. You're

97
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: not really going to notice the difference. The app is

98
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: still on your phone, it's still the same. But this

99
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: ends a six year legal and political battle over national

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: security concerns. I can't believe it was twenty eighteen. I believe, no,

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, I'd be six seven eight years. I remember

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: going out and doing this story on TikTok. I don't

103
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: remember what year it was, but it was the first

104
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: time we heard of this, like, hold on, this might

105
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: be banned, And I went and I talked with some

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: TikTokers and now here we are. We finally have a resolution.

107
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: So a group of non Chinese investors are going to

108
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: own more than eighty percent of US TikTok they're calling it,

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: including Oracle, silver Lake, and an investment firm tied to

110
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Michael Dell of Dell Computers. Byte Edance will keep just

111
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: under a twenty percent stake. And that's where because they

112
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: cannot have this controlled by China or else it would

113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: be banned in the US. So TikTok says this will

114
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: keep the app alive for more than two hundred million

115
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: US users. It avoids the shutdown. Remember there was that

116
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: little shutdown last year. People went nuts like, wait that

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: get they could actually do this. They could actually do this.

118
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: They could take this thing down if you had it

119
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: on your phone. I think it still worked.

120
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 5: Though.

121
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: The new TikTok us will be run by Adam Presler.

122
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: He is a longtime TikTok executive. The board is going

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: to be based or mostly US majority. But here's the

124
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: thing that's a little bit weird. Byte Edance did not

125
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: hand over the algorithm. Remember everyone said this app is

126
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: all about the algorithm. They actually did not end up

127
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: handing over the algorithm. They're going to keep control over

128
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: TikTok's algorithm. And license it to the US company, which

129
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: is a little strange. But if you use TikTok, nothing's

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna change at this point, same app, same endless scrolling.

131
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: You can still scroll to your eye fall out of

132
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: your head. Now, here's what I thought was interesting, the

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: updated terms of service and privacy policy. This is what's

134
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: going viral right now. And I even posted on my

135
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: Instagram at rich on Tech kind of went through this

136
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: thing because people are questioning me, Hey, why do we

137
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: have to accept these new terms. Number one, content rights.

138
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: Anything you upload to TikTok they get to keep forever,

139
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: even if you delete it, and they can use that

140
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: content to train AI models, which is a huge side business.

141
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: Everyone needs a content to train models. TikTok's going to

142
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: get a flow of it every day. Even if you

143
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: delete a video, those rights do not disappear. I thought

144
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: this was crazy. Drafts. Even if you just put something

145
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: into the TikTok app, it is now theirs. They can

146
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: analyze it as much as they want. That includes videos, audios, captions,

147
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: anything that you do inside that app they can analyze.

148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: So remember that if you want to think about uploading

149
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: something biometric data, they can collect face prints, voice prints

150
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: from your video and audio. We're allowed by law estroke

151
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: patterns on your phone. Sensitive personal information they can collect

152
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: or infer, including your health and mental health data, sexual orientation,

153
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: immigration status, financial info, and your precise location. Now I'm

154
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: not saying other apps don't do this, but for TikTok

155
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: to spell this all out, they are going for the gold.

156
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: They want it all, and guess what they're gonna get

157
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: it all. There are millions of users of this app.

158
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: People like it, They use it on a daily basis.

159
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: It's a treasure trove of information. It is a data play,

160
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: just like every other app that you're getting for free.

161
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Remember that none of this is illegal. Lots of other

162
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: big platforms do the same thing, but they are very

163
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: specific about what they're collecting on us users, even though

164
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: this is a new TikTok. So I thought that was interesting. Now,

165
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: I personally do have a TikTok account. I don't know

166
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna continue. I'll be honest, I've got that

167
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: I've stopped on that screen where it says you got

168
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: to accept this new privacy policy. You got to accept

169
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: these new terms and conditions. So I stopped right there

170
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: and I said you know what, let me give some

171
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: pause here. I don't actively upload stuff to TikTok, and

172
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: I think that overall, TikTok has enabled creators to create

173
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: an entirely new business for themselves, and I love that.

174
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: I think that's amazing. I think that they are paying

175
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: people right now, just like Instagram was a couple of

176
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: years ago. Instagram would pay people for posting. They don't

177
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: really do that in a big way anymore, but TikTok

178
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: still is, and so that's what keeps the fire under

179
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: under this thing, keeping it going. But I think for

180
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people that did make their livelihood on

181
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: this app, it does let them breathe a sigh of

182
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: relief that they know this app is going to be around,

183
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: they know it's going to be here. I don't think

184
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: everyone's happy with the privacy policy and the new terms

185
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: and conditions, but it's not outside the scope of what

186
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: a lot of these other apps do. So there you

187
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: have it, TikTok staying in the US, all right? Eighty

188
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: to eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

189
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. We got a

190
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: lot on the show today. We've got great guests. We're

191
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Super Bowl TVs. I know we've got

192
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: a major winter storm either approaching in the East Coast

193
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: or happening in the East Coast, depending on when you're

194
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: listening to this show. If you're not listening live, we'll

195
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: talk about what you can do to stay protected from

196
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: that with your tech. And we got the feedback plus

197
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: the website rich on tech dot TV. My name is

198
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: rich Dmiro more rich on Tech coming your way right

199
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: after this to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

200
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at Triple eight Rich one

201
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two,

202
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: four to one zero one. I know we got a

203
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: big storm on the East Coast. I know my family's there.

204
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Everyone is bracing for a lot of snow. Now, depending

205
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: on when you listen to this, the storm may have

206
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: already happened. But we're here live, and so I'm just

207
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: gonna give you some these tips because it's funny. We

208
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: had a power outage at the house last night, only

209
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: for a little bit, and I'm telling you, when the

210
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: power goes out at the house, you realize just how

211
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: dark it gets and just how much you rely on everything. Now,

212
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: my kids don't really understand this, and so they're like,

213
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: hold on, do we have internet? Do we have this? Like,

214
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: what's happening? What's going on? You know, So if it's

215
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: the first time that's happening to you, you're like, wait

216
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: a second, what's the deal? What works? What doesn't work?

217
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: So Verizon sent some tips over keep your phone working.

218
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: That's the thing. You need to keep your phone working

219
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: because a lot of times, even if the power goes

220
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: out at your house, you may still have access to

221
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: your phone. I think satellite has made things a lot

222
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: better as well. So number one, charge everything now, have

223
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: things charged up. My wife as soon as the power

224
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: went out, she goes, oh my gosh, my phone is

225
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: at like ten percent. I should have charged it. So

226
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: even if you're in your house, I always recommend just

227
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: charging your phone, keep it charged while you're in there,

228
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: because you don't want to be caught with the with

229
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: an uncharged phone or a tablet or a smart watch.

230
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: And even your portable battery packs, make sure you're charging

231
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: all them up. We have one of those giant things

232
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: from ecoflow portable power station, and you know it takes

233
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: a while to charge it up. Once you charge it up,

234
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: it should stay charged for a while. You know, they

235
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: only lose a tiny percentage of the charge, so check

236
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: it every six months and make sure that your portable

237
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: batteries are charged. Cold weather can drain batteries fast, so

238
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: keep your device warm. If you're outside, keep your phone

239
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: close to your body and dry. I did not realize

240
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: that colder weather drains batteries fast. I guess that makes

241
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: sense because when you go to charge a Tesla, they

242
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: want you to warm up the battery so it's easier.

243
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's related, but it seems like

244
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: it would be. If cell service is spotty, wi Fi

245
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: calling can be a lifesaver, so calls go over your

246
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: home internet instead of the cell network. So if the

247
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: cell network goes down, you might be able to have

248
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: Wi Fi calling, and vice versa. If your home internet

249
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: goes down, you might be able to use a cell network.

250
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: And also keep in mind a lot of phones now

251
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: support satellite text so I would go and check to

252
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: see your phone and your plan and see if satellite

253
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: texting is a thing. With the iPhone, it's iPhone fourteen

254
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: and up. With the Samsung, I believe it's the Samsung

255
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: S twenty five and up, and with the Pixel, it's

256
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: the Pixel ten and up, I believe. So if you

257
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: have one of those phone models, you have satellite texting.

258
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: It might be through your phone itself in the case

259
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: of the Pixel and the iPhone, or it might be

260
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: through your carrier in the case of Samsung. So do

261
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: a little research online and see if your device supports

262
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: satellite messaging and get familiar with it before you actually

263
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: need it. And then if you're in a situation where

264
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: your phone you know you need it and everything else

265
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: is out, turn on low power mode. Get familiar with that.

266
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: You might have tried that on your iPhone, but all

267
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: of the phones have that, and some of them even

268
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: have like an ultra low power mode that can do

269
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: just the basics on your phone, like calls and simple

270
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: things like displaying the time, and that can really extend

271
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: your phone for a long time. Also dim your screen.

272
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Those two steps alone could add hours of time. Download

273
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: apps ahead of time if you need to download the

274
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: app for your carrier or your local emergency alerts, make

275
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: sure you're signed up for those and you're getting notifications.

276
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: Also set up your emergency contacts. That's a good thing

277
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: to do. Make sure I had a friend at work say, hey, rich,

278
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: let me make sure my phone rings when someone calls

279
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: me twice. Get familiar with these emergency contact features because

280
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: you never know when you'll need them, and you want

281
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: to make sure all your contacts are easy to find,

282
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: easy to dial. You don't want to have to be

283
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: looking for this stuff when you need it. You want

284
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: to have all this stuff in place before. Very very important.

285
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: Let's see what else. Oh, I thought this was wild.

286
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: This just came out, this Microsoft story about encryption. Bottom line,

287
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: if you have a Windows laptop, it might not be

288
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: as private as you think. Microsoft confirmed just recently that

289
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: they will give the government the encryption keys to your

290
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: laptop if they get a valid warrant. Now, they didn't

291
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: get a ton of these last year. They got about twenty,

292
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: it says according to this Forbes report. But if you

293
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: have BitLocker encryption turned on on your laptop, which a

294
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: lot of people do, if you store that encryption key

295
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: in the cloud, Microsoft can give that encryption key to

296
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: the FBI if they ask for it and they have

297
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: a valid warrant for it. So that means it's kind

298
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: of handing over the keys to the Kingdom. Even though

299
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: your computer is encrypted. If you store that encryption key

300
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: on the cloud with Microsoft, they can go in and

301
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: grab that key and give it to the FBI. Keep

302
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: in mind bitlockers turned on by defall on many Windows computers,

303
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: and Microsoft encourages users to back up the key to

304
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: their account. It's convenient to back it up to the cloud.

305
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: If you lose your password to your computer, you'd be

306
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: able to still access this, but it's very risky for privacy. Now.

307
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Other companies like Apple famously design their systems so they

308
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: say we are hands off no matter what. If you

309
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: encrypt your iPhone, we cannot unlock it for you. Period.

310
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: And we saw this play out a couple of years

311
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: ago with that San Bernardino situation. This was an iPhone

312
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: for when was this? This was in twenty sixteen. They went,

313
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: you know that, gosh, I'm trying to remember. It was

314
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: like a I want to say, a kid. It was

315
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: a young man that you know. It was a terrorism

316
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: attack in Santa Bernardino and I shot and killed fourteen

317
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: people and the FBI wanted to get Apple to help

318
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: open the phone, and they said, no, we're not doing this,

319
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: And ultimately the FBI found a contractor to hack into

320
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: the iPhone. But you know, it gives people that have

321
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: an iPhone the knowledge that, hey, things on this phone

322
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: are private no matter what. And I'm not saying it's

323
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: it's good or bad. Right in that situation, you probably

324
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: wanted the FBI to have access to that phone. So

325
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: we can understand why this was done and how it

326
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: was done. But in a lot of ways, you know

327
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: these things. You know, any judge can ask for this

328
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: and theoretically get it from Microsoft. So if if you

329
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: have a Windows laptop and you want that recovery key,

330
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: store it on a USB drive, store it locally. Do

331
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: not put it in the cloud if you are concerned

332
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: about privacy in any way, shape or form. That's the

344
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: How are you?

345
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing well? What happened? You tried the Tesla? You're

346
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: trying to get a CD player for your Tesla?

347
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 7: Yes, unfortunately, so listen. Thank you for the link. I

348
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 7: went in the car. It wouldn't even pair with my

349
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 7: iPhone fourteen.

350
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: The bluetooth you guys, Okay, so explain what you did.

351
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: You went, You bought a CD player.

352
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 7: I bought the note, the Go Go, NAD, Go Go

353
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 7: whatever you told me about.

354
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Okay. The klim Kl i Am Nomad twenty twenty three

355
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: portable CD player with headphones, radio FM compatible Bluetooth ideal

356
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: for cars, sixty dollars on Amazon. You bought this and

357
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: what it doesn't pair with anything?

358
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 7: It didn't pair with anything. So I left the car

359
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 7: and I just tried to pair it with my iPhone

360
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 7: and it wasn't even pairing with the iPhone at all.

361
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: So it sounds like it's a problem with this thing.

362
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: And this is the problem with these little off brands

363
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: on Amazon. It's like you never know if they're going

364
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: to work or not. This has this has thirty five

365
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: hundred reviews. It gets a four point four. So it

366
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: seems to work. Are you sure you've got it in

367
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: the bluetooth mode? Yes, and it's just okay. The fact

368
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: that it won't pair with your car, is with your

369
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: phone is a little you know. That's what's concerning to me.

370
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 7: Is it because the phone is old?

371
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: No, Bluetooth is universal. It should work. So when you okay,

372
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: so when you turn this this little CD player on

373
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: the bluetooth mode, your phone does not see the CD player?

374
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 5: No?

375
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Interesting?

376
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 7: Well nope, well I have not does play by itself

377
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 7: because I put the earphones on and it works, okay,

378
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 7: just not pairing with my iPhone.

379
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: You plugged in earbuds? Yes, okay, so you didn't try. Okay,

380
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if you could try pairing it to some earbuds. Wait,

381
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, hold on, why would

382
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: it pair to your phone?

383
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 7: I don't think it was I have to use the phone.

384
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: Well no, you would pair this directly to your Tesla, but.

385
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 7: It wasn't recognizing it either the Tesla yep.

386
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So you tried pairing it with your Tesla?

387
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, exactly.

388
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Well the phone would not recognize it, because there's

389
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: no reason a device does not play audio to an iPhone,

390
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like the iPhone is not

391
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: a is not a receiver for that, it would be

392
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: a pair of Bluetooth headphones. So what I can say

393
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: is in a couple of things here. Number one, at

394
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: this point, I'm going to order this and see, you know,

395
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: if it works with my car. Number two, I would

396
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: make sure that your CD player is in the Bluetooth

397
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: mode and then pair a pair of headphones that are Bluetooth.

398
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: Do you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones or no?

399
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 7: You mean not the ones that came with.

400
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: No, because those are wired, I'm guessing. So you're gonna

401
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: have to find a pair of yeah, oh.

402
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 7: Oh, oh, I don't have a pair of wireless all right,

403
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 7: I see what you're saying.

404
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I would test it to make sure that

405
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: you know the actual Bluetooth is working and transmitting and

406
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: that it's working. But your car should see it, your

407
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: tesla should see the Bluetooth when you toggle it into

408
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: the Bluetooth and you have to go into that screen

409
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: where you would connect something like a phone, and it

410
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: would it would go that way.

411
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 7: But should I connect the phone.

412
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't do that, because you can, you can

413
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: connect multiple things. It may just be that the protocol

414
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: that this is using the cars like, we don't really

415
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: understand what you're trying to do here. So that's why

416
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: i'd have to look and see what the tesla to

417
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: anyone say in the comments that it was working with

418
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: a Tesla No, nobody, Ah, okay, that's probably like.

419
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 7: Who the hell is asking this stupid question?

420
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: I know you're getting. I actually got a lot of

421
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: feedback on I'm going to read some of that, but

422
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to read some of the feedback I got

423
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: on this. Kathy. Let's see here. Ryan said, Hey, I

424
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: saw you talking about adding a CD player to a Tesla.

425
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking, why not just grab a sixty dollar

426
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: USB one from Amazon, or even a portable CD player

427
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: with Bluetooth. The battery powered sixty dollars is not that much.

428
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: It might be worth a try. That's what we tried

429
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: to do, and it didn't seem to work. Let's see.

430
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: Uh okay, and I got two links. It looks like

431
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: people sent two links. One of them was the clem

432
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Let's see the other one here. The other one is

433
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: the Oh, okay, this is a USB external universal CD

434
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: player for car. This plugs into the USB port. I

435
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: don't know if that's gonna work either. Let's see. I'm

436
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna search Tesla real quick.

437
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 6: No in the.

438
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 7: Comments part, because I have a I saw something in

439
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 7: the glove compartment.

440
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's for the USB drive. I don't know if

441
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: it would connect to a USB, you know, CD player

442
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: and then the USB. Uh, it's in the center console.

443
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: Usually it's like there's some in the back. My old car,

444
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: it was in the back, and I think, okay, it

445
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: was just in the back.

446
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 7: But that's not a USB.

447
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: Though it's a small USB, it's USB. It's called oh Matthew.

448
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: Matthew wrote in with another hack. He said, for the

449
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: Tesla's CD player problem, there's an old school solution that

450
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: still works. Use a portable CD player with an FM transmitter,

451
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: which yours has. The transmitter creates a tiny FM station

452
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: for the CD player's headphone jack. Then you tune the

453
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Tesla's FM radio to that frequency. I did this back

454
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: in the nineties when my car didn't have a cassette deck.

455
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: It works the same way today. So I think this

456
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: device that you bought, yes, this clim it does have

457
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: Let's see, is it FM transmitter FM? Does it have

458
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: an FM transmitter? Though, that's the question. I'd have to

459
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: check that too. FM transmitter. Let's see what it says

460
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: here FM. I don't see if it has it doesn't

461
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: look like it has an FM transmitter. But you can

462
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: buy one of those. But I'll be honest, in my experience,

463
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: FM transmitters do not work very well. Maybe if it's

464
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: wired into your system like back in the day I

465
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: had that, but I don't think it's going to really

466
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: worked that well. But I think that, uh, this is

467
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: this is a tricky one. I am uh. I'm actually

468
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: going to Tesla this week. I will ask them. I'm

469
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna ask them specifically and see what they say. But

470
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Kathy. We're gonna we're gonna get

471
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: to the We're gonna get to the bottom of this.

472
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 6: Uh.

473
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: Until then, you're stuck with you know, you're stuck with

474
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: me on the radio here, so enjoy.

475
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 7: Well, what should I hold on to it before returning

476
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 7: it to Amazon?

477
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: I would try I would try pairing it one more

478
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: time to see if yeah, with the with the FM

479
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: or the bluetooth, and see if it works, but keep

480
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: us posted and we'll we'll see if anyone else some solution.

481
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Kathy, Quite the quite the interesting issue,

482
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get a CD player to work

483
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: with the Tesla. You've got the most high tech car

484
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: in the world. You've got a phone which obviously can

485
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: play music, You've got radio, you've got streaming services. But

486
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: like Kathy explained last week, she wants what she has,

487
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: which is her CDs, and she understands them and she

488
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: likes them. So I get that, Uh, you might be

489
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: overpaying eighty to eight rich one on one eighty eight

490
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. You might

491
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: be overpaying for ride shares. This is from the National

492
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: Bureau of Economic Research. They did a study that the

493
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: same exact ride often costs different prices on Uber and Lyft.

494
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: The average difference is about three dollars and fifty cents.

495
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 1: I know, not a ton of money, but if you're

496
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: taking these a lot, that could add up to a

497
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: lot of money over the years, over the whole over

498
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: the course of a year. So that's about fourteen percent

499
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: of the fare. So depending on the fares that you have,

500
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: that could be a substantial amount Now you would think

501
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: most people check both apps, but only about sixteen percent

502
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: actually do in this study, and that lack of comparison

503
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: adds up to more than three hundred million dollars a

504
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: year in extra spending. And that was just in New

505
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: York City alone. So the researchers say, the friction is

506
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: pretty small. All you have to do is open up

507
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: the other app and compare the price. But that tiny

508
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: little friction lets prices stay higher and helps the platforms

509
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: make more money. Now Uber does not allow third party

510
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: price comparison tools, so that makes it tougher. They used

511
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: to have. When these things first came out, there was

512
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of there's a cottage industry of apps

513
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: that would let you see the prices on both at

514
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: the same time. That's really no longer the case. I

515
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: will tell you, in my experience, prices vary widely. Sometimes

516
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: I will open up Uber, which is kind of my default,

517
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: and I will say, oh, that's really expensive. Let me

518
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: check Lift, and Lift for the same exact ride could

519
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: be half the price sometimes or substantially lower, and then

520
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: I wonder, well, wait, why, it just has to do

521
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: with the algorithm. Sometimes it's more. Sometimes it's less. So

522
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: the bottom line from this research paper is have both apps.

523
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: If you take ride shares, install Uber, install Lift, have

524
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: them both on your phone. And if you're taking these things,

525
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: try them both. That's what you have to do. Windows eleven.

526
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: If you're having a whole bunch of problems, you're not

527
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: the only one. Windows. Microsoft put out their first major

528
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: update of twenty twenty SI and big issues for a

529
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: lot of people. Some PCs are not shutting down properly,

530
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: they just restart. Remote desktop issues, so if you're trying

531
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: to use remote desktop or VPN, that could be an issue. Outlook.

532
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: If you're using the classic version of Outlook, it's crashing

533
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: or hanging or hanging in the background. Some apps just

534
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: don't open and they're thrown out error codes, including the

535
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: dreaded zero x eighth three F eight thousand and one.

536
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: Watch out for that one cloud storage freezing or opening

537
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: files when you're looking at one driver, dropbox, all kinds

538
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: of issues during startup, black screens, wallpapers, resetting to black,

539
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: sleep mode issues. So Microsoft has pushed out emergency fixes.

540
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is here. If you are on Windows,

541
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: you did a major update and your PC's acting kind

542
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: of weird. It is not you, as they say, it's

543
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: not you, it's them. Is that what they say? Something

544
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: like that? So, but do the updates. If you see

545
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: more updates, do them. If you have these issues, If

546
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: you didn't do the update, I'd hold off unless it's

547
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: forced on you, which sometimes they do, but I would, uh,

548
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: I would hold off if you haven't done the update.

549
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: Let them fix some of this stuff. That's always frustrating.

550
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: That's why I like a show like this where you

551
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: hear it, you see it, or even social media, we're like, oh, okay,

552
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,720

Speaker 6: My daughter was My daughter was two years old when

583
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 6: I bought it, and she's turn eighteen a few months ago.

584
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 6: So hey, yeah it I just want to do it is.

585
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 6: I'm nothing wrong with it, but I just want something more,

586
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 6: you know, bigger, bigger screen. And I went to, uh,

587
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 6: it's amazing how the prices have come down quite a bit.

588
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 6: I noticed on on the on TVs. But then my

589
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 6: question also is I would look for you know, I

590
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 6: was looking for another l GV because they've been good

591
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 6: to me. Yeah, and I noticed that they have UHD,

592
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 6: then they have an q L ED TV, and then

593
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 6: of course the the ol legs. But I want to

594
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 6: I found a t C L E L E D,

595
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 6: and I wanted your opinion on those. I was inclined

596
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 6: on one of those because it seems that you get up,

597
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 6: you get better better, you know, better specs on the

598
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 6: TV for the money.

599
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Well this is what we were talking

600
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: about at the beginning, and this is why Sony is

601
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: having such a tough time because these TCL prices. I'm

602
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: looking at them right now. So I'm on slick deals,

603
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: looking at some of the latest. You know, right now

604
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: is the time to buy because the Super bowls coming up, right,

605
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: So all these TVs are on great deals. So I'm

606
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 1: looking at a fifty five inch O lead from Samsung

607
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: for one thousand bucks. I'm looking at a sixty five

608
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: inch O lead from lg for eight hundred and nine dollars,

609
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: a sixty five inch TCL QM eight K, which is

610
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 1: their flagship, that's nine to ninety seven and that's their

611
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: flagship device right now, what what are you looking to spend?

612
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: Are you looking to spend like under five hundred, under

613
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: one thousand, under two thousand?

614
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 6: I mean to be honest, and I don't know if

615
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 6: it was fifteen hundred, I was, you know, even even

616
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 6: two thousand if I had to. But then when I

617
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 6: noticed prices are low, and it's just I'm not sure

618
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 6: where to go.

619
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Okay, but.

620
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 6: Whatever you were thinking.

621
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: I think this this TCL QM eight K, which is

622
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: a QD Mini led, I think that for one thousand

623
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: bucks is a fantastic deal. Sixty five inch TV tcls

624
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: are super highly rated. This is actually one of the

625
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,280

639
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 6: don't know where to go. But I did I did

640
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 6: hear that tcls are becoming very much much better for

641
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,240

642
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 6: really don't not focused on apps because on the TV,

643
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 6: I don't care for the smart portion of it. Okay,

Speaker 1: So nice. Okay, Well this I think this is the

650
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: deal you want. It's the uh now, it's gonna come

651
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: with Google TV. But it's the TCL seventy five inch

652
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: QM seven K four k UHD HDR QD Mini LED.

653
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: It's nine to ninety nine at best Buy. I'll be honest.

654
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: I bought my TV from best Buy a couple years ago,

655
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe two years ago. I ordered it in the morning.

656
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: I was watching it by the afternoon. I could not

657
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: believe the delivery, the service, everything. I was so impressed.

658
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 6: So it looks like I found my TV. I appreciate

659
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 6: your time.

660
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: All right, Caesar, thank you, thanks for listening. Sounds like

661
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: the super Bowl party is at Caesar's house this year.

662
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: Whenever you get the new TV, you got to have

663
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl party. That's what I did a couple

664
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: of years ago. When I had my brand new TV.

665
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, we'll do this because I

666
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: upgraded from a fifty five inch TV that I had forever.

667
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: I think it was a Visio maybe, and it was great,

668
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: but I went with the high sense. Let's see, I

669
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: think it was the I think it was a U

670
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: eight and I love it. I mean it's great. It's

671
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: everyone that comes to my house is rich. This TV

672
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: looks so good. I said, it's not even that expensive.

673
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: It was like under a thousand bucks. I think everything

674
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: all included.

675
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 5: Now.

676
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: The only thing I did wrong was I went with

677
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: sixty five inch instead of seventy five. Everyone now is

678
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: going with seventy five. So if you have the space,

679
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: go with that. But yeah, and we will, by the way,

680
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: have an expert on a little bit later. On Caleb Dennison,

681
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: he is the TV guy. He will be talking about

682
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: all these TVs later in the show, and he'll talk

683
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: about some of the newest deals out there. Verizon and

684
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: Frontier are back together again. Verizon just basically purchased these

685
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: areas from Frontier that they sold to him a couple

686
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: years ago, so these fiber networks. So basically, if you

687
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: here's here's the thesis of this. If you are in

688
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: an area that used to be Frontier or sorry, that

689
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: used to be Verizon then became Frontier and now it's

690
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: back to Verizon, you should call them up and see

691
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: what kind of deal you can get, because they're doing

692
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: really good deals. If you get your mobile phone through Verizon,

693
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: or if you're a Verizon customer, you can get six

694
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: months of Frontier fiber Internet for free. If you bundle

695
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: so you can get free phones or giving away free

696
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: iPhone Seventeen's so long story short. If you live in

697
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: an area that either had Frontier or used to have

698
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: Verizon and became Frontier and now it's back to Verizon,

699
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: call them up. Call up Verizon and see what kind

700
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: of deal they can give you, because right now they're

701
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: rolling out some pretty aggressive deals to get people into

702
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: these bundles. Eighty eight Rich one oh one eighty eight

703
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one more rich

704
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: on Tech, come in your way right after this. Welcome

705
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: back to rich On Tech. Rich to Mire here hanging

706
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at triple eight Rich one

707
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two

708
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: four one zero one. We were talking Windows issues. A

709
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of people did these updates. They had some issues.

710
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: But Josh and Lansing, Michigan says he has a solution.

711
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: If you're having some issues with your Windows computer. What's

712
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: your solution?

713
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 9: Josh, yeah, Hi, so I had the same issues everybody

714
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 9: else had. The solution is, even when you check your

715
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 9: computer to update its drivers, it says you're up to date,

716
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 9: you're not. You have to locate your graphics card manufacturer

717
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 9: and go to the manufacturer's website and update your graphics

718
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 9: card from there. My update took about two two and

719
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 9: a half hours, and every sense I'm.

720
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: Back, Oh nice, Okay, So you were having some flickering

721
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: issues and all that kind of stuff, and Windows was saying, oh,

722
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: you're fine, you're up to date. But then you went

723
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: to like what in video's website or Intel's or something,

724
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: and it was like, Oh, there's a firmware update for

725
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: your or driver update.

726
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 9: It was it was it was Intel for me, it's

727
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 9: gonna work for everybody. I suspect because Windows isn't communicating

728
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,479
Speaker 9: with those chip manufacturers and that's why they can't find

729
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 9: the issue interesting.

730
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so good, so good tip. If you're

731
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: having issues, something flickering, something's giving you. It could be anything, right,

732
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: like your your your scanner, whatever you've got, that's.

733
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 9: Videos, my videos. I use the same streaming services and

734
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 9: watch the same videos routinely, and they would just stop

735
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 9: and two seconds later start and then five seconds later stop.

736
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 9: That was consistent, and that was a huge issue too.

737
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 9: And that solves.

738
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: Okay, so everything was off. Even though Windows was saying

739
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: you're up to date, you really weren't.

740
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: Basically exactly, I.

741
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 9: Did all the up to dates on Windows. I even

742
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 9: said from other manufacturers, some new products, and there's nothing there.

743
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 9: I was fully up to date. I even went to

744
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 9: my internal computer check to run diagnostics, and it's that

745
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 9: I was up to date. Wow, that's what I That's

746
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 9: what really throws people off that are looking into this

747
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 9: It's so frustrating because usually that's correct. But after another day,

748
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 9: I was forget this, and I went right to the

749
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 9: manufacturer and it scanned my computer. I just clicked support

750
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 9: at the Intel site and it scanned my computer instead.

751
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 9: That was what I suspected was there and update now

752
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 9: and I did it.

753
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: Wow. Good, okay, all right, good to know, Josh, thanks

754
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: for the call. Appreciate it. So yeah, if your computer's

755
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: saying it's working and it's up to date, it may

756
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: not be. So just remember that eighty eight rich one

757
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: oh one eight eight eight seven four to two four

758
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: one zero one.

759
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 6: Uh.

760
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 1: Scott writes in I keep getting letters saying my personal

761
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: information may have been exposed in data breaches. Kaiser, Permanente,

762
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: and AutoNation are the latest. Each time they give me

763
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: free credit monitoring through companies like LifeLock, Equifax, or cyber Scout.

764
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: Right now, I already have one more year free of LifeLock,

765
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: two years of experience. I'm wondering if I should sign

766
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: up for every service that's offered or just stick with

767
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: one or two. It feels like these breaches are inevitable,

768
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: but paying for multiple monitoring services can get expensive fast. Well,

769
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: it's inches, so you're not well. I think you wouldn't

770
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: be paying for them because you're getting them free. But

771
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I think that you know LifeLock and Experience,

772
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 1: they're reputable. I think that those two are enough for now.

773
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to sign up for every

774
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: free monitoring offer that comes along. I get these things

775
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: in the mail all the time, and I've yet to

776
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: sign up for one of them. And I'll tell you

777
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: why in a second. Number one. Every time you sign up,

778
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: you have to hand over all of your information of

779
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: that company, and so you're giving them everything that you've

780
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: got so that they can go out and monitor for you.

781
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: So if you really feel like you need that done,

782
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: sure sign up for one of them. Get that free year,

783
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: see what happens. But I think the easiest way to

784
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: do this and to deal with this situation is to

785
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: freeze your credit. And you could do that for free.

786
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: You can go on to Experience, Equifax and TransUnion. You

787
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: go to their websites, you sign up. Now. The thing

788
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: to be careful about every one of these websites will

789
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: try to fake it, and they will they will put

790
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: up some offer because they know people are going here

791
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: to do this. Right when you log in, it'll be like, oh,

792
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: do you want to pay for credit plus freezing? And

793
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, that's what I came here to do.

794
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: Uh ah, that's a paid service. You do not want

795
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: to do that. You want to go to the bottom

796
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: of the screen. There's a tiny little text that says,

797
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: freeze my credit and it's free, completely free, and I've

798
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: done this. It is very easy to unfreeze your credit

799
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: if you need to go in, you know, you want

800
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: to apply for a card, to loan whatever. I'm not

801
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: a financial person, but that's what I do, and it's

802
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: I've done it, I've unlocked it, I've locked it. It's

803
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: pretty easy to do, so take the time to do that,

804
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: and you don't have to deal with a lot of

805
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: this other stuff. But if you're getting the year free

806
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: and it makes you feel better, absolutely sign up. But

807
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: you don't need to sign up for one hundred of these.

808
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: Connie writes in Hey rich, my husband just got hearing

809
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: aids now. The TV volume that works for me is

810
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: too loud for him. Someone suggested headphones so I can

811
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: listen louder without bothering him. There's so many ops online.

812
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's easiest for us older folks. Any suggestions, So, Connie,

813
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: the easiest thing would be wireless headphones that connect directly

814
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: to the TV. So a lot of TV support Bluetooth.

815
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: If yours doesn't, you might be able to add like

816
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: a little Bluetooth transmitter to the headphone jack or the

817
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: optical audio port. But the key thing here is that

818
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: your TV has to support headphones and speakers at the

819
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: same time. Not all of them do. So if you

820
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: want to confirm that, I would just get any pair

821
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: of Bluetooth earbuds you have around your house and connect

822
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: them to the TV. See if you can listen on

823
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: those earbuds and listen through the speaker, so your husband

824
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: be able to listen and then you'd be able to

825
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: listen at the same time. If that doesn't work, there's

826
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of products from this company called a

827
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: van Tree A v A N t r e E.

828
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: They've got a whole bunch of products specifically for these solutions.

829
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: A v A N t r e e dot Com.

830
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,479
Speaker 1: Check them out. Clearly someone there was like, oh, yeah,

831
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: people need these solutions, that's why they have them. Mary

832
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: writes in Hey, Rich, Happy New Year. I'm eighty seven

833
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: years old. I'm not very tech savvy. I have a

834
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: Samsung Android phone, and I'm worried about viruses and staying protected.

835
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: I'm on to fixed in some income, so i can't

836
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: afford fancy expensive security services. Can you recommend something that

837
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: will keep my phone safe? Mary, Happy New Year to you.

838
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: You don't need to be tech savvy. Anyone should be

839
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: able to do this. If you have a Samsung phone,

840
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: it already has built in protections. So the thing you

841
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: want to do is visit a section of your phone

842
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: under the settings. Hopefully you can get there settings Security

843
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: and Privacy, and there's a whole bunch of stuff. It

844
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: will immediately start scanning your phone for threats. Up at

845
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: the top should have a green banner that says looks good.

846
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: Make sure you have your lock screen set. Make sure

847
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: you have no recommendations under account security, loss, device protection,

848
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: app security, I'll say no threats found updates. You can

849
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: look there. Now the things you want to do. Make

850
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: sure your auto blocker is on, so tap that on.

851
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: This will block apps from unauthorized sources, like if you

852
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 1: try to download something outside of Google Player. The Galaxy Store.

853
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: It'll prevent that from being installed. It'll block malware, images

854
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: and messaging apps, non official software, updates, commands by USB cable.

855
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: It'll do a lot, make sure auto blocker is turned on.

856
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: What else The other thing you want to do is

857
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: use Chrome. Chrome will protect you with what's called what

858
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: do they call it. They've got two levels. They've got

859
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: Safe Browsing and then they've got Enhanced Chrome Safe Browsing.

860
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: Safe browsing is the basic that means that basically every

861
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: URL you enter into Chrome, it is checking to make

862
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: sure that it's legitimate and it's not going to try

863
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: to steal your info. Doesn't always work, but it works

864
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: pretty well. Now, if you want a little bit more,

865
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: you can turn on what's called Google Enhanced Safe Browsing.

866
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: And if you turn that on, it's actually going to

867
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: use a little bit more AI to give you extra support.

868
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: So these are websites that it may never have encountered,

869
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: and it still looks at them and says, eh, we

870
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: don't think this is safe. We're gonna put up a

871
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: big red screen to make you not use it. So

872
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: you can turn those on in your Chrome settings. Let's

873
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: see if I can find it here let's see if

874
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: it's on here. See if I can't find this stuff quickly,

875
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: how do I expect you to find this stuff quickly? Right?

876
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: So I'm looking about Chrome downloads, languages. Okay, where are

877
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: you a Chrome? Come on basics? Oh, privacy and security

878
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 1: there it is, duh, privacy insecurity, safe browsing. Enhanced protection

879
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: is turned on. I would go into your Chrome on

880
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: your Android settings and then look under privacy and security

881
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: and delete. Sorry, where'd it go? Safe browsing? Make sure

882
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: enhanced protection is turned on. That'll do a lot to

883
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: keep you protected. No matter what link you click, it

884
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: will scan that and make sure it's safe. Not gonna

885
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: work every single time. Yes, there are things that can

886
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: still slip through the cracks, but it's gonna be pretty good.

887
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: The other thing is this app I like called Sofos

888
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: Intercept X Sofos Intercept X for mobile. It's free and

889
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: I have it on my phone, and it does a

890
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: pretty good job. It's scanning, it's basically doing a lot

891
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: of the stuff that the Samsung is doing. So if

892
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: you're okay with all that stuff and the Chrome stuff,

893
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: you don't need this. But if you want a little

894
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 1: extra level, then I would say, try this Sofos Intercept

895
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: X and it's mobile. It's available on Google Play. Let

896
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: me see what is exactly the name is. Of course,

897
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 1: don't have a link. That's weird. Okay, here's the link.

898
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: Sofos Intercept X for Mobile by Sofos Limited. The problem

899
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: is when you search for these apps, there's other apps

900
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: that kind of masquerade under the same more similar name.

901
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: So be very careful when you download stuff that I

902
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: mentioned on the radio that you're getting the right app.

903
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: And I link this stuff up on my website. So

904
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: go to rich on tech dot TV. This is episode

914
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: San Diego. Jim, what's going on?

915
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 5: Hi? I got a Shwlett Packard laptop a few months

916
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 5: ago and within a few weeks, the letters on the

917
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 5: keys started fading on the most common you know, on

918
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 5: the ert and the I can barely discern the what

919
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 5: the keys are anymore, and I don't know how to type.

920
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 5: I still hunt and pet and I went back to

921
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 5: the store I bought it, and they said I would

922
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 5: have to send it back to Hewlett Packard, and I

923
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 5: guess they would take it and do something with it,

924
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 5: and I'd have no laptop for a while, and I'd

925
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 5: have to pay to get everything transferred over to a

926
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 5: new laptop. So what can I do to make my

927
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 5: keyboard more visible to me?

928
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: Well?

929
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 2: What?

930
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: Okay? So how long have you had this thing?

931
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 5: Well, now, it's probably been three months.

932
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: Okay, it's been three months. You probably have a year

933
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: warranty on it. I'm guessing.

934
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 5: I don't recall that I paid anything extra, so I

935
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 5: don't know what I got with it.

936
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: Okay, but you have whatever comes with HP laptops, yes, okay,

937
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: let me see. I'm looking up what the warranty is.

938
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm guessing itself. Okay, So you can go on Okay

939
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: says it's usually a standard one year. But you can

940
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: go on their website and check the warranty by putting

941
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: in your serial number, so you can see if you

942
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: have a year warranty, which I'm sure you do, if

943
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,479
Speaker 1: you didn't pay anything extra. Now did you buy you

944
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: Did you use a credit card to buy this?

945
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 5: Yes?

946
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so you may have Depending on your card, you

947
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: may have some protections through them, and they may be

948
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: able to help you with this. But that's you know,

949
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: that's another way where if everything else doesn't work, you can,

950
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe call the credit card company and just

951
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,720
Speaker 1: see some of them offer, you know, sixty days extra,

952
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty days. That might be another avenue.

953
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: Just keep that in the back of your head. There,

954
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: So I have a feeling. So there's a couple of

955
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: things going on here. Number one, HP does not know

956
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: how you handle this computer. Right. You might have taken

957
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: this computer and rubbed alcohol on the keyboard the first

958
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: day you got it. You got rid of all the keys,

959
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: and they don't really know if you did that or not, right, So,

960
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: cosmetic issues like this could be that this thing is defective,

961
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: or it could be that you did something and scratched

962
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: them all off. They don't really know the difference, right,

963
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: So in some aspect, you're at their mercy here because

964
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily have to do anything. But if you said, hey,

965
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: I want this under warranty, my my keyboard is is

966
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, seem like it wasn't very good from the beginning.

967
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: Replace my keyboard. Like you said, you're gonna have to

968
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: send this thing in. You either wipe the information or

969
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be you're not going to see it again,

970
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: depending on what they do to this thing there, it's

971
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: going to be out of your hands for a while.

972
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: And it doesn't seem like a very good solution. I mean,

973
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: you are you ready to not have this thing for

974
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks?

975
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 5: Well, I could use my old one. I guess it

976
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 5: would be kind of a hassle because I try to

977
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 5: work off one main laptop instead of having data on both. Right.

978
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 5: The other concern I have is to retransfer everything back

979
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 5: onto it.

980
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pain.

981
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 5: We have to do what I did last time. We

982
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 5: take it in somewhere and have them, you know, transfer

983
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 5: everything over and yes.

984
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: Total war money. Yeah, total pain. And it's not something

985
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: And usually when you bring your laptop in they say, look,

986
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,959
Speaker 1: you know, we we can't anything that's on this drive

987
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: could be a race because because HP, they could get

988
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: it and say, you know what, we're just gonna give

989
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: you a refurb We're gonna give you a new one. Whatever.

990
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: You know, they can. They reserve their right to do

991
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. So where do we stand.

992
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: Are you okay with just putting stickers on these keys?

993
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: What if you just order some new stickers from Amazon

994
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 1: and put them on the keys?

995
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 5: That would work? I didn't know there was such a thing. Yeah,

996
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 5: I could work with that.

997
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: Let me I'm looking up keyboard decals. Uh, let me

998
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: see here. Okay, so they have a whole Actually this

999
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: might be even better if you you know you've got

1000
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: they've got all kinds of different ones. Now individual Okay,

1001
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: here's one hundred and ninety four piece set luminescent extra

1002
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: large three years, will not wear fade eight ninety nine,

1003
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: so nine bucks.

1004
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 5: I mean it looks like a pretty good illuminus. That

1005
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 5: means it retains some light.

1006
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like these are these are specifically like

1007
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: large print, so like they're easier to see. But you know,

1008
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking on Amazon. They have they have a thousand

1009
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: different types of these things, so that might be your

1010
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: best bet if you just want something simple and easy

1011
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: and you don't want to deal with bringing this thing back.

1012
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm annoyed that this thing the keys faded so quickly.

1013
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you said it's only a couple of months.

1014
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: I've got my computers for years, and yes, some of

1015
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: the keys I use more definitely have a look to them,

1016
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: but they're not wiped off, you know, like if this

1017
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: was a stick.

1018
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 5: To my history as well, historically I go years and

1019
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 5: then you could see a little bit and this actually

1020
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 5: started happening within a few weeks. I just haven't done

1021
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 5: anything about it yet.

1022
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's weird. I mean, I think it might be

1023
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: in your best interest to call HP and to really

1024
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: tell them, like, look, I think I'm deserving of a

1025
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: new keyboard, here a new computer, and here's why I

1026
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: think that this was defective. And I think that you

1027
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: should take a look at it and see what happened,

1028
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: because there might be other people if this happened to

1029
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: and you frame it in that way where you're kind

1030
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: of helping them, and then you say, and by the way,

1031
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: I want you to send me the new laptop in advance,

1032
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: and I will ship back the old one when you

1033
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: get when I get it. The only issue there is

1034
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: they probably might require a credit card or something, and

1035
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: if they don't get the old one, then you're on

1036
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: the hook. So there's a lot of nuances here with

1037
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: how this works. If HP had a place where you

1038
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: could just bring it in and it was easy, that

1039
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: would be the best case scenario. Do they have any

1040
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: service centers that you can just bring this thing into,

1041
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: Like physically.

1042
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 5: I'm but there's a place I go, but it's not

1043
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 5: an HP place and they weren't able to help me.

1044
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are okay. The Best Buy isn't authorized. They

1045
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: do have authorized locations, so you're in San Diego. You

1046
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: might be able to bring it to an authorized place

1047
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 1: where they can do it, but I don't. That doesn't

1048
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: necessarily mean it's free or under warranty, you know. It

1049
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: just means that they can work on it.

1050
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 5: But you're starting to think for nine or ten dollars,

1051
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 5: I may be better off just getting the getting the

1052
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 5: endms you mentioned to stick on to the keys and

1053
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 5: be done with it.

1054
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: I would I would think that's the easiest. What I

1055
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: would do is, you know, Jim, before you put the

1056
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: stickers on, you want to clean the keys well so

1057
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: that they say the stickers actually stay on there. There

1058
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: may be some instructions that come with these little keyboard stickers.

1059
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: I would recommend an alcohol wipe or even you might

1060
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: even try like a lyceole wipe. And before you do

1061
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: this in your computer, be careful ring it out. Do

1062
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: not make the mistake I made one time of using

1063
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: a liceol wipe on my keyboard without ringing it out.

1064
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. It ruined my whole computer for about

1065
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: six months. It finally came back to life. It did

1066
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: come back to life, but it took about six months

1067
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: to dry out. Do not do that nowadays. Ring ring

1068
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: it out, ring it out till is just just just

1069
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: a little tiny bit moist. And if you're even worried

1070
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: about that, you can just use a microfiber with a

1071
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: little bit of a tiny bit of spray on it,

1072
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of water spray ring that out. Make

1073
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: sure it's just damn not even not even wet at all.

1074
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: Do not come complaining to me that you ruin your keyboard. Please.

1075
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: Eighty and eight rich one on one, we're gonna talk

1076
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: about how to use AI to make apps. Coming up next,

1077
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech Rich DeMuro here hanging

1078
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at Triple eight Rich one

1079
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four to two four

1080
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: one zero one. You got a call about you got

1081
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: a question about technology? Give me a call. Email is

1082
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: also an option rich on Tech TV. This is episode

1083
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: one fifty eight. So if you need a link to

1084
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: something I mentioned, you could just go to the website

1085
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: and find the link there. My kid and I had

1086
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fun this week. He discovered that you

1087
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: can use Gemini to make apps, and so I'm not kidding.

1088
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: He just sat there all week and just started coding

1089
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: these apps or I guess using AI to code them.

1090
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: And it really is just amazing that, Like, if you

1091
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: have an idea for something, most people don't know how

1092
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: to make that into either a website or an app.

1093
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: Amanda Span is an app educator and founder of the

1094
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: app Accelerator. She's here to talk to us about how

1095
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: professionals can turn their app idea into a real product

1096
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: without being technical. Amanda, welcome to the show.

1097
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate

1098
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: being here.

1099
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: So thanks for being here. What is the app Accelerator? Explain? Like,

1100
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: why you came up with this right.

1101
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 4: The app Accelerator is a fifteen week training program that

1102
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 4: teaches working professionals how to build an app incrementally, step

1103
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 4: by step, without ever learning how to code. And the

1104
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 4: program is based off a book that I wrote and

1105
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 4: is going to be up for release on March tenth,

1106
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 4: call I Have an App Idea. The book was written

1107
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 4: as a result of my own experiences being a non

1108
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 4: technical founder and having to learn so many things the

1109
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 4: hard way.

1110
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 2: I lost forty thousand dollars.

1111
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 3: And paying someone to like, yeah, yeah, just not knowing

1112
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 3: what I didn't know, right, And that's actually less than

1113
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,919
Speaker 3: the most non technical founders lose on their first app,

1114
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 3: but the average amount is around fifty thousand dollars in

1115
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 3: time and inefficiencies.

1116
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 4: Then non technical founders lose and they waste about two

1117
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 4: years of time just trying to get a product off

1118
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 4: to the ground because they don't know what steps come next,

1119
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 4: They don't understand the terminology, and it feels overwhelming, it

1120
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 4: feels intimidating, and so I didn't want anyone else to

1121
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 4: have to go through that process. After, you know, I

1122
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 4: started building apps and got a lot better at it.

1123
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 4: I built a framework out that was repeatable no matter

1124
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 4: what type of app you're building, and it provides people

1125
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 4: with a step by step framework and step by step

1126
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 4: infrastructure for understanding product development, so you know how to

1127
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 4: engage with developers and no matter what development path you take.

1128
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 2: Like similar to you and.

1129
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 4: Your son this weekend, who were doing what we like

1130
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 4: to call vibe coding, the product of using you know,

1131
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 4: a chat, GPT, a cloud or LOLM to build an app,

1132
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 4: or him and I to build an app. And you know,

1133
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 4: whether you're using that path or whether you are working

1134
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 4: traditionally with a developer, you have all the steps, tools, resources, education,

1135
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 4: and that foundational knowledge you need to know to build

1136
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 4: a revenue ready app.

1137
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: So what you're talking about, Okay, so you say, like

1138
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: a non technical professional, so this, let's say I'm a

1139
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: little league coach and I'm doing this and every day,

1140
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, every weekend, I'm like, wait, it'd be really

1141
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: good if they had an app for this, right? Is

1142
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: that what you're saying, Like a professional, it's in some

1143
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: sort of job that they are like, Oh, I see

1144
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: a need for this, but I have no idea how

1145
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: to do that. That's what your book targets. That's what

1146
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about.

1147
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 2: That's absolutely what I target.

1148
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 4: I am a firm believer that people who are closest

1149
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 4: in proximity to the problem are best positioned to solve it.

1150
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 3: Right.

1151
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 2: So, if you're a little league coach and you're.

1152
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 4: Seeing you know, their organizational inefficiencies with how they're running

1153
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 4: the league, right, and it could be solved with an app,

1154
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 4: there is no way that you're not going to know

1155
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 4: how the best solve that problem, as opposed to you know,

1156
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 4: some nineteen year old kid in Silicon Valley who's like,

1157
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 4: you know, starting their second semester at Stamford, Like no

1158
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 4: shades to Stanford, but right, they're not going to know

1159
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 4: what's right about managing little league as a coach who's

1160
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 4: been doing this for twenty something years, right, And so

1161
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 4: what I want to do is position people like that

1162
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 4: little league coach, like that doctor, like that lawyer, like

1163
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 4: that social worker, like that operations manager to understand product

1164
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 4: development so that they can work with developers or you

1165
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 4: know op for you know, using AI or vibe coding

1166
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 4: to position themselves to build the products of the future.

1167
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 4: Because there are billion dollar opportunities in industries that we're

1168
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 4: just ignoring. Right now, because you know, there's a lot

1169
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 4: of people who don't know how to turn their skills

1170
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 4: into software.

1171
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so what is the first thing someone should do

1172
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: to see if their app idea is worth pursuing.

1173
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 4: They should definitely validate it. So a big part of

1174
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 4: determining whether you should build an app idea is diving

1175
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 4: deep into the problem, right. And so you want a

1176
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 4: problem that is big enough for people to pay for, right,

1177
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 4: because there's lots of problems out there.

1178
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 2: But there's a difference between a.

1179
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 4: Vitamin level problem and an oxygen level problem.

1180
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 5: Right.

1181
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know you or your listeners

1182
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 4: have heard that analogy before, but a vitamin level problem,

1183
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 4: you know, we can take vitamins every day, but if

1184
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 4: we skip a day, it's not the end of the world.

1185
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 3: Right.

1186
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 4: Then there's painkiller level problems where you know, you take

1187
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 4: painkillers when you're in pain, but as soon as that

1188
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 4: pain subside, you stopped taking the painkiller. But oxygen, right,

1189
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 4: there's not much we can compare to oxygen. We all

1190
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 4: need oxygen. So you want to tackle problems when you

1191
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 4: are building a business around building a business around a

1192
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 4: problem that are so big that people can't even think

1193
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 4: about how this problem was solved before then. And a

1194
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 4: good example of this is like ride share. Right, I'm

1195
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 4: just gonna say, I can't remember how I got to

1196
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 4: the airport.

1197
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, Oh, you begged a friend. Come on, I

1198
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: gave people rights to the airport. The worst thing ever.

1199
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: But you know you actually have to talk to your

1200
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: friends and you know around them up.

1201
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 4: Now you have the luxury of doing right area, But

1202
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 4: they're solved. They solved a multimillion dollar problem.

1203
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 2: And now every.

1204
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 4: App idea doesn't have to solve a billion dollar problem,

1205
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 4: but it does if you were planning on making money

1206
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 4: with this app, right, which I look at apps as

1207
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 4: the business and the perspective I teach from in the

1208
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 4: book and in the program the App Accelerator. I teach

1209
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 4: people that apps are a business, right, and that you

1210
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 4: should be thinking about the problem in that way. And

1211
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 4: so you want us try to identify a problem that

1212
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 4: people are willing to pay money to solve. Right, The

1213
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,959
Speaker 4: next thing you want to do is validate that idea,

1214
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 4: because sometimes we think in ideas really good, but until

1215
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 4: we actually you know, go out and prove to the

1216
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 4: world that someone is willing to pay for this we're

1217
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 4: not exactly sure, and you want to do that before

1218
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 4: you invest lots of time and money. And there's lots

1219
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 4: of different ways you can validate an idea. You can

1220
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 4: do surveys, you can do a concierge test, just essentially

1221
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 4: running that running what you're going to do in the

1222
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 4: app in like a white glove service.

1223
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 2: An example of this is like meal prepping.

1224
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 4: Like maybe you believe that you know, tens of thousand

1225
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 4: people will pay for like a meal prep service, right,

1226
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 4: that's automated through an app. Right, but you may want

1227
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 4: to run that service manually first in your community and

1228
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 4: test out that people are willing to pay for it

1229
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 4: before you invest the money or the time into building

1230
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 4: an app and an automation around it. Because whether you

1231
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 4: you know, decide you want to go to develop, or

1232
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,479
Speaker 4: whether you want to you know, vibe code it, build

1233
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 4: it yourself, it's still an investment of time or money,

1234
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 4: and time is money.

1235
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: Okay. The keyword these days is AI. So I talked

1236
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: about how my kid and I we kind of, like

1237
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: you said, vibe coding. You know, you're just using Gemini

1238
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: or one of these various ais that can handle that

1239
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: to make these things it's not perfect, obviously, But what

1240
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: do you think about AI and how has that changed

1241
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: the process of building an app compared to just a

1242
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: few years ago.

1243
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 4: Well, AI, from my perspective, it should be used as

1244
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 4: a tool to improve quality of life, and I mean

1245
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 4: that across tech and as many other verticals as well.

1246
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 4: But AI is a great equalizer in the sense that

1247
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 4: you know, while I think coding is still relevant and

1248
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 4: I think the role of developer is still very pertinent,

1249
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 4: it has made you know, being able to build software

1250
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 4: and build products a lot easier. So the difference is,

1251
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 4: if all things are equal now and if any one

1252
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 4: even you know, your your son can build an app

1253
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 4: by just using you know, AI, the difference is, and

1254
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 4: the distinction will be moving forward, is domain expertise. So

1255
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 4: I believe that domain expertise is a new technical edge.

1256
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 4: So if you pair a degree of AI or a

1257
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 4: baseline knowledge of AI with your domain expertise, you're unstoppable.

1258
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Okay, let's dig into that a little bit more. Because

1259
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: everyone's always worried about jobs, and you know where the

1260
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: future is going, you seem optimistic. Do you think that

1261
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: we are gonna lose jobs because of this? Do you

1262
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 1: think that you know, if someone is wanting to become

1263
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 1: a coder, like there will there always be a place

1264
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: for them. I mean you said domain expertise. I think

1265
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: that's really interesting that, yes, you have to be you

1266
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: still need to know this stuff.

1267
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 4: So I think I feel like some jobs are going

1268
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 4: to be replaced, but I think that is the nature

1269
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 4: of innovation.

1270
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 2: That's the way of our world.

1271
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 3: Right.

1272
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 4: You know, we don't have as many coal mining jobs

1273
01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 4: as we used to. Right, the world innovates, and you know,

1274
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 4: some jobs are phased out, right, but I think coding

1275
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 4: and computer science jobs will evolve, right, and so you

1276
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 4: will see a lot more developers themselves using AI in

1277
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 4: the role, and so the way that they work will

1278
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 4: be different.

1279
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 2: And what I think you'll see on the computer.

1280
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 4: Science side and in that vertical is a lot of

1281
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 4: more productized services. And what I mean by that is

1282
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 4: instead of a developer. And I don't know if you

1283
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 4: know your audience or you are privy to the way

1284
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 4: developers traditionally work, but they might say, Okay, I have

1285
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 4: this project, and I believe this project is going to

1286
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 4: take me one hundred hours. I'm going to build fifty

1287
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 4: dollars an hour for this project, right, And so they're

1288
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 4: building that out over the next six months for you.

1289
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 4: But now that they can use AI to build a

1290
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,919
Speaker 4: lot faster, they're probably going to take on a lot

1291
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 4: more clients. And that project that used to take you know,

1292
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 4: six months can now take you know, you know, three weeks. Right,

1293
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 4: So they'll probably be able to take on ten clients

1294
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 4: at one time, right, And they'll have shorter timelines, and.

1295
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 2: They'll package up those services.

1296
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 4: So instead of saying, Okay, well I'm gonna build this

1297
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 4: dating app for you from scratch, I might have a

1298
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 4: dating app package where I can rent and repeat the

1299
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 4: way I build dating apps, and I can produce them

1300
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 4: really really quickly, and they'll be a flat rate of

1301
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 4: maybe three thousand dollars where I used to charge you know,

1302
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 4: thirty thousand for this, but now I can charge ten

1303
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 4: people three thousand dollars a piece versus thirty thousand to

1304
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 4: one client.

1305
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: Really does change things, all right, I got to less

1306
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: than a minute here. The book is called I Have

1307
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: an App Idea Amanda Span coming out on March tenth,

1308
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: and what will people who's this for?

1309
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 4: This is for everyday innovators, It's for working professionals who've

1310
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 4: been sitting on an app idea. It's for people who

1311
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 4: have bottlenecks and the way that they work. It's for

1312
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 4: people who believe they have a million dollar ideas. It's

1313
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 4: for people who they believe they have thousand dollar ideas

1314
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 4: and billion dollar ideas. It's for people who who have

1315
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 4: always wanted to create an app, but just didn't know

1316
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 4: where to start. The book teaches you how to build

1317
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 4: a business around your app idea, how to design it

1318
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 4: for your target audience, how to identify the best development

1319
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 4: path for you, whether that be working with a traditional

1320
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 4: developer or using AI to build with, and then how

1321
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 4: to deploy that app out to the world and make

1322
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 4: sure that you maintain and manage that investment. It is

1323
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 4: that step by step guide you wish you had when

1324
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 4: you had that business idea ten years ago, and so

1325
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 4: I really hope people enjoy it dive into. It is

1326
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 4: a very light and easy read, but it will change

1327
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 4: the way you fundamentally think about products and how you

1328
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 4: build digital based businesses moving forward.

1329
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: All right, thanks so much Amanda for joining us. Say

1330
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. I'll put a link to your book

1331
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: on the website. Rich on tech dot TV once again.

1332
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: It's called I have an app idea Amanda Span all right,

1333
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: coming up, Yeah, thank you eighty eight rich one on

1334
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: one eighty eight seven four to two four one zero one,

1335
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: coming up my AI voice to text keyboard of the week.

1336
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: You got to try this out. Welcome back to rich

1337
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: on tech rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology.

1338
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Well as I say, over and over, the free ride

1339
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: is over. Ads are coming to chat GPT, especially if

1340
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: you're on the free version. Open ai says it's going

1341
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: to start testing ads inside chatchybt in the US in

1342
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. They'll appear for logged in adults

1343
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: using the free tier, or they came out with this

1344
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: new cheaper plan called chatchybt Go, which is eight dollars

1345
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: a month. They will still have ads on that plan.

1346
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: They're going to show up at the bottom of your

1347
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: answers and be labeled as sponsored, and open ai says

1348
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: the ads will not influence the answers that chatchybt gives,

1349
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: and responses will not be optimized for advertisers. That's it.

1350
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: You will. Let's see. You can turn off ad personalization

1351
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: or clear the data used for ads. At any time.

1352
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: But as you can imagine, the investors of chat cybt

1353
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: cannot wait for this company to toggle these ads on.

1354
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: It is going to be a it's just going to

1355
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: be a wild amount of money that they will generate instantly.

1356
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: Why because chatchbt has the public right now. People are

1357
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: on there every day, They're searching all kinds of stuff.

1358
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: They're asking very intricate questions, and that is very valuable

1359
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: to advertisers who know exactly what these people are looking

1360
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: for and what they want. Now, they might not be

1361
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: perfect at the beginning. You know, remember when when all

1362
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: these pay per click ads first came out in Yahoo

1363
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: and Google, they were pretty general and it took time

1364
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: for them to get very specific. And now it's almost

1365
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: as if you know, the first couple of results at

1366
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: Google is it almost looks like that's personalized for what

1367
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: you're searching for. And that will eventually be the case

1368
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: for chatchbt. But don't be surprised if you start seeing

1369
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: ads in your chatchybt window. Like I say, the free

1370
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: ride is over, melody is in Carl's Bad Melody. You're

1371
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: on with Rich?

1372
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 10: Hey, Rich, I have two things. I have a comment

1373
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 10: in a question oh, okay. Comment is earlier you had

1374
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:21,879
Speaker 10: a caller who was asking about for TV volume because

1375
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 10: for her husband, because now she has hearing aids. Yes,

1376
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 10: she needs to contact for hearing aid provider because there

1377
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,640
Speaker 10: is a device that she can use to have the

1378
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 10: volume adjusted in her hearing aid where she wants it,

1379
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 10: and it leaves the volume on the TV where her

1380
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 10: husband needs it. So she needs to check with them

1381
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 10: on that.

1382
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: So you're saying there's a they can adjust it or

1383
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 1: there's a device.

1384
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 10: No, it's a she can adjust it on her.

1385
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 2: On her hearing aid app.

1386
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: Okay, on the app, got it okay to kind of

1387
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: level to keep the levels the same basically just her her.

1388
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 10: Volume on her app, right and the TV can be

1389
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 10: wherever her husband wants it to be.

1390
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 9: Okay, I believe because.

1391
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 10: Right now I'm talking to you through my hearing aid,

1392
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 10: not through the phone. So it's the same same concept,

1393
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 10: but a different advice she would have to purchase. I

1394
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 10: believe there's a device she does need to purchase to

1395
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 10: hook to the TV, much like if she had if

1396
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 10: if her husband had headphones.

1397
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: Got it okay? So if if that, yeah, okay, so

1398
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: she should look into that. And I think it was

1399
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: actually the opposite. I think the husband got that got

1400
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: the hearing aids. She was the one that was saying,

1401
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: oh the TV's her husband either way, but we got it. Okay, perfect, good,

1402
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: good call.

1403
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 10: Okay, that's my time. My question is this about two

1404
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 10: nights ago. Uh, there was a power outage in the

1405
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 10: evening and since then my printer hasn't worked and I

1406
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 10: don't know how to get it.

1407
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 5: What happened?

1408
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 3: You know?

1409
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 10: I went on to my system settings to make sure

1410
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:19,680
Speaker 10: that everything was still set, and it shows my my

1411
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 10: printer on there and everything. But my printer does not

1412
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 10: have any power.

1413
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: Okay, well it doesn't have any it doesn't have any power.

1414
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 10: Well, when I put the power but non nothing happens.

1415
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 10: Oh okay you when I tried to print, nothing happens.

1416
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 10: It says it's offline.

1417
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: Okay. So a couple of things. Do you know that

1418
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: the the plug that you're plugging this into, do you

1419
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 1: know that it works?

1420
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 2: Like?

1421
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Is it?

1422
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 6: Like?

1423
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: Can you plug something else in and confirm that it

1424
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: where you got to start at, like the beginning? So

1425
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: is it does a plug work?

1426
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 10: Power strip and other things on the Okay, were working.

1427
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: That's good. So have you tried pulling this, uh this

1428
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 1: power plug out and leaving it out for like a

1429
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: minute or two.

1430
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 10: You mean I'm plugging the printer?

1431
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Correct?

1432
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 2: Correct, I haven't done that plug is so hard.

1433
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 8: To get to.

1434
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 1: Well, do it do on the back side of the printer.

1435
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: It usually connects both to the plug and the backside

1436
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: of the printer.

1437
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 10: Okay, well that's what what's hard to get to. I

1438
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 10: can get up on a step ladder to do that,

1439
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 10: so I haven't, but that might be a fix.

1440
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that's the first thing I would do. It

1441
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: sounds like maybe this thing just did not come back on,

1442
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: So plug it back in or unplug it for you know,

1443
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, leave it out, you know, I

1444
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: would say two, three, five minutes whatever, plug it back in,

1445
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: and then turn the prow and then press the power

1446
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: button back on. And it may just come on when

1447
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: you plug it in. It may you may have to

1448
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: press that power button. But see, those are the first

1449
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: things I would do when I my FI exactly. Yeah. Okay,

1450
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 1: it's funny though. Week we had a power outage last

1451
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: night and my printer. I'm trying to I think if

1452
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: I had any issues, if I had to press any buttons.

1453
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It came back to life. It's

1454
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: an HP, but that's what I would try, Melody. Thanks

1455
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: for the call today. I appreciate it on both counts.

1456
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 1: There eighty eight rich one on one eighty eight seven

1457
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Still so much

1458
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 1: to tell you. In fact, we're gonna talk about the

1459
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: most AI resistant jobs coming up right here on rich

1460
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: on Tech. Welcome back to rich On Tech. Rich DeMuro

1461
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you, talking technology at Triple eight

1462
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 1: rich one O one eight eight eight seven four to

1463
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. You are in for a

1464
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: treat this hour. We have one of my favorite guests,

1465
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: Caleb Dennison. He is going to break down all the

1466
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: latest in the TV world. I know you're looking at

1467
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: TVs for the Super Bowl. We're gonna see what his

1468
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 1: recommendations are. Also, get his take on this whole Sony

1469
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: TCL deal and anything he saw at CES that was

1470
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: interesting to him. We got a lot so that will

1471
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: be in this hour. Can't wait to do that AI.

1472
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: We've heard so much about it. You're probably wondering, well,

1473
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: what jobs are going to be the most AI resistant?

1474
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: First I'll give you the big jobs, and then we'll

1475
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: go into the entry level stuff. But this is from

1476
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 1: resume now. They analyze labor department and pay scale data

1477
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,919
Speaker 1: to rank jobs least likely to be replaced by AI

1478
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: and the common thread. They found jobs that demand calm,

1479
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:33,560
Speaker 1: under pressure, adaptability, and human judgment. Well, that makes a

1480
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Human judgment. AI can't really replace that,

1481
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: not yet, I guess. At the top of the list

1482
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: are a lot of healthcare roles nurse anesthetists, emergency physicians, surgeons,

1483
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: and physician assistants. Aviation also high on the list commercial pilots,

1484
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: flight engineers, air traffic controllers, all places where mistakes are

1485
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: not an option. Commercial pilot, Bobo, Would you get on

1486
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: a plane driven by an AI pilot? You get on,

1487
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 1: you walk on, You're flying a you know. Wherever they

1488
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,719
Speaker 1: get on they say, hey, we got we got AI

1489
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,759
Speaker 1: Jim in the cockpit today. He's a complete robot.

1490
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 6: YEA.

1491
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: I will not get on a plane. You will knock

1492
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: get on the bill. Why not not trusting all AI

1493
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: to fly me nowhere? I don't trust a AI in

1494
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: my car. When was the last time you met the

1495
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 1: pilot of your plane? Last time I was on a flight. Okay,

1496
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: you introduced yourself. Yeah, he was standing right there. I said, hey,

1497
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 1: how you doing. He said, hey, I'm Bob. I was like,

1498
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: you need to say that. I'm just saying but I

1499
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: did see him, okay. And you feel more comfortable when

1500
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 1: you put it like a face to the person flying you.

1501
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 11: Yes, I do, Okay, makes me a little more comfortable.

1502
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 11: I don't know, it just feels better.

1503
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. But no AI. So if they said, hey, we're

1504
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna this thing is taken off and landed, no problem

1505
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand times, like a way moo weaimo for flight,

1506
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: you wouldn't haven't done a weimo yet, Okay, because you're

1507
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 1: you don't want that either.

1508
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 11: Well, because I saw it stuck in an intersection on

1509
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 11: the west side and I was like, yeah, no, I'm

1510
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 11: not doing that.

1511
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 1: I got a video of it. I'll show you. It

1512
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: was funny. I was shooting a video of the Zookes,

1513
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: which is Amazon's kind of weymo, in Vegas and it

1514
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: made the turn, but then I got stuck behind a truck.

1515
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 1: It just like stopped and it couldn't go around it.

1516
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: All these people started honking. I was like cracking up, like, oh,

1517
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 1: not the right time taking video. Okay, so that's out

1518
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: for BOBO leadership and accountability judges, CEOs, cybersecurity leaders, and

1519
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 1: financial managers also make the list. So there you go.

1520
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: That's the high end stuff. Right now, we're talking about

1521
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 1: the entry level AI proof jobs, or I can't say

1522
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 1: AI proof, let's say AI resistant people focused once again.

1523
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: See it's got to be. There's the human aspect of

1524
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 1: jobs is very much kind of underlining all of these.

1525
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 1: Dental high genis number one. I just went to the

1526
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: dentist and had the dental hygienis and I was like,

1527
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: could a robot replace this? I don't know if I'd

1528
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: want it. I mean yeah, And they're all kind of different,

1529
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: by the way dental hygienis. Some use that thing where

1530
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 1: they spray the water to like clean your teeth. Some

1531
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: do like the actual that scraper thing. And sometimes I

1532
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: feel like they're literally out of like medieval times, like

1533
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm just torturing you right now, like I'm just gonna

1534
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I told you to floss rich and I'm gonna make

1535
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: this as painful as possible for you because you didn't.

1536
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I literally think they're doing that in their head,

1537
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Uh, diagnostic medical scenographers they pay

1538
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: close to ninety thousand dollars with an associate's degree. Respiratory therapists,

1539
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: radiological texts, occupational therapy assistants, all in high demand and

1540
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: hard to automate. And then of course skilled trades electricians, HVAC,

1541
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: wind turbine technicians, electricians in HVAC, those guys. Here's the thing.

1542
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: There's a level of people that come to your house

1543
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: and they say, here's what we need to do, here's

1544
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: how much it's gonna cost you, And you're just like,

1545
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? You know what you're doing.

1546
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 1: I don't go ahead, fix the thing whatever it's gonna cost.

1547
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 1: I need my toilet. Emergency roles like EMTs and paramedics,

1548
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: and yeah, physical skills, real time problem solving, and human interaction,

1549
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 1: all areas where AI still struggles question. Yeah, are you

1550
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: going to go see the movie Mercy? I have not

1551
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: heard of it yet.

1552
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 11: The movie with Chris What was it Chris Pratt?

1553
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Okay, oh yeah I did. He's flying around in that

1554
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: little automated chair thing.

1555
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, but it's the AI found him guilty. I think

1556
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 11: of killing his wife or something like that. And he

1557
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 11: has to prove to the AI that he didn't do it.

1558
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, interesting ninety minutes to prove your innocence

1559
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: or face execution. Yep. Okay, is this in the movie

1560
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: theater or it's coming out?

1561
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 11: If it's not out, I think it came out yesterday.

1562
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Release date is this week, so it's Amazon MGM,

1563
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: which means it'll be on Amazon Prime weeks. I've seen

1564
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: the ads during the Super Old in the NFL. You know,

1565
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 1: Prime now has so many things on Prime, like all

1566
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: the spoil. They had the basketball game on Prime the

1567
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: other day, which I didn't realize. I thought it was

1568
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: like I thought Prime just did football. No, they do

1569
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff now, basketball, baseball, football, Yeah, it's wild.

1570
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 1: The only thing they don't have is soccer. Okay, well

1571
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,759
Speaker 1: Apple has a lock on that now they really Okay,

1572
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,759
Speaker 1: So this is uh Mercy Chris Pratt sci fi thriller. Okay,

1573
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: So now this ticket is is something I gotta do

1574
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: because it's a I did not realize. I saw that.

1575
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: I saw the trailer one hundred times. I still didn't

1576
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: understand what the movie was about. So maybe they need

1577
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:38,679
Speaker 1: to have better markets. Okay, let's go, let's do it. Okay,

1578
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: does this show? Is this AI to run the show?

1579
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: It just goes right and I'll turn on AI Rich.

1580
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 1: We'll go a rich all right?

1581
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 5: Uh?

1582
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 1: Speaking of AI more AI. Uh, there's a voice keyboard

1583
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: for Android this week. Okay. So you know, if you

1584
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: if you listen to me at all, you know I

1585
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: love my whisper Flow, which is my voice to text

1586
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: on the iPhone.

1587
01:18:58,960 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 6: Uh.

1588
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:00,640
Speaker 1: And I was waiting for them to come out with

1589
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: Android and they've I don't know, I don't want to

1590
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: say they've been dragging their feet. Maybe it's trickier to

1591
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 1: do than they thought. But it's been a while and

1592
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: they I think last year they said by the end

1593
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,599
Speaker 1: of the year. Now it's like, okay, let's hear what's happening, guys.

1594
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: But another company came out with an AI voice keyboard

1595
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: for Android. It is called Typeless Typeless dot com. I

1596
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: guess it's type less. Okay, So this is for Android.

1597
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: They also have it for iPhone. They also have it

1598
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: for Mac. They also have it for Windows, but they

1599
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: just came out with Android. So if you have an

1600
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: Android phone and you want better voice to text, try

1601
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: this out. Here's what the deal is it understands intent.

1602
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: And that is the big thing here that you might say, rich,

1603
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 1: I already have voice to text on my phone, It's

1604
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 1: not the same because what this is doing is it's

1605
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: using AI to understand what you're saying and then polish it.

1606
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:55,600
Speaker 1: So not only can it do things like if you

1607
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: say let's go to the movies, I mean the beach,

1608
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: it won't all that stuff in there. I'll just say

1609
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: let's go to the beach because it knew your intent

1610
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: of you corrected yourself. It works everywhere, so you can

1611
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: use it in all the apps that you like. They

1612
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,959
Speaker 1: have a whisper mode so you can talk really quietly.

1613
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: Works in a hundred languages and mix and match. How

1614
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: wild is that You can start talking in English, switch

1615
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: to Spanish, go back to English, and it will still

1616
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: figure it all out. That is incredible. And they say

1617
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: it's private. They don't keep your data, they don't train

1618
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: on your data. All your history stays on your device.

1619
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: So again, this is called Typeless. Make sure you get

1620
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,440
Speaker 1: the right one if you look it up in Android,

1621
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 1: it's Typeless. Typeless AI voice keyboard made by a company

1622
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: called Typeless, and it I try this, here's my problem

1623
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 1: with it. I love it. I think it's really great.

1624
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: You could do up to I think I think it's

1625
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 1: up to four thousand words a week for free. The

1626
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: problem is it's in the entire keyboard is taken up

1627
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: by just a microphone button. And that's great because yeah,

1628
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: that's the main functionality, but it's also kind of annoying

1629
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: if it gets something wrong or you just want to

1630
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: change something very quickly. I wish they would give you

1631
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: the keyboard still and just put the little put the

1632
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: little uh microphone in the corner. That would be better

1633
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 1: to me. But yeah, that's the that's the main thing.

1634
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 9: Uh.

1635
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:26,720
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Uh we've got Michael. Could we go?

1636
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if I you know, I'm gonna have

1637
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: to save him for the next break here, because you know,

1638
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: we get these, we get close to the break here,

1639
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: and it's you know, if the questions are longer, I'll

1640
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: do it. I'll do an email because I can do

1641
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: that quickly. Mario writes in I was wondering if you've

1642
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: ever reviewed apps that let you change your ad a

1643
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: phone number. I want a separate number for contest coupons

1644
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 1: and sign ups because I already get enough spam calls.

1645
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: I've had the same cell numbers since nineteen ninety seven.

1646
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to change it. Any tips would be appreciated. Also,

1647
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: I loved watching your KTLA TV segments when I lived

1648
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 1: in SoCal. Thanks Mario number one. I think Google Voice

1649
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: is probably the easiest. It's free, it's uh, you know,

1650
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: you sign up, and that's probably that's what I use.

1651
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: I've got. I've had my Google Voice since day one.

1652
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: Used to be called Grand Central. Google bought them. I've

1653
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: had it since day one. I love it and it's

1654
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 1: great Google Voice. If you want something like a virtual

1655
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: second line, you can actually call your carrier and a

1656
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: lot of them will give you a second line for

1657
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month. Now, I don't know if it's

1658
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: worth ten dollars a month for entering contests. I don't

1659
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:32,480
Speaker 1: think it is, But if you're willing to pay that,

1660
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 1: that's an easy way to do it. And you can

1661
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: use that as a second line through your carrier. And

1662
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: then they have services. So there's services like sly number

1663
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: that I think Bobo is a big fan of that one.

1664
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: And then what I thought, I saw that app on

1665
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: your phone for Sly number No. I was just kidding.

1666
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to get you in trouble. The other

1667
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,600
Speaker 1: one is text free. Now you have to understand what

1668
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:01,960
Speaker 1: some of the these free ones they may not allow

1669
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:06,480
Speaker 1: you to to It may not have the full functionality

1670
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: of a regular phone number. So you can try it.

1671
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: Some of these, some of these like automated texts to enter,

1672
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: may not allow you to use what they call a

1673
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: voipeline voice over ip number. But a lot of them,

1674
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: like I mean, it looks like text free, just try it.

1675
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: It's it'll probably work. SLI number, how much it looks

1676
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: like slide number you have to pay for. Yeah, but

1677
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: text free or text free is free. Google Voice is free.

01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 9: Hi, Hey, Wes City.

1685
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 8: Is tavy the electronic recycling event going on today. Matter

1686
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 8: of fact, we've got about forty minutes to get there.

1687
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 1: I'll make it quick, Okay.

1688
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 10: I have a.

1689
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 8: Windows eight computer. I was wondering. I was a little

1690
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 8: skeptical about bringing it down there or not. Do you

1691
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:15,480
Speaker 8: think there would be an issue, you know, with the

1692
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 8: information that still might be on the hard drive?

1693
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: Did you wipe it? Did you recycle or sorry? Did

1694
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: you like wipe the hard drive?

1695
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 8: I think I did. I am not percenture. I'm not there.

1696
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: Okay, bavvy. When you start up, does the computer still

1697
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: start up?

1698
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 8: I think that, well, I have it disconnected because I

1699
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 8: ended up buying a whole new computer when the everything

1700
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 8: switched over to Windows eleven.

1701
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: Right, okay, So Windows has a built in setting that

1702
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: it says, remove everything and reinstall Windows. Do you remember

1703
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: doing that?

1704
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 3: No?

1705
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 8: I did not. I'm a hold on to it.

1706
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what That's what I would do. So, I mean,

1707
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's nice to donate. So I think you

1708
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:01,719
Speaker 1: said a school is doing the donation.

1709
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 8: The city?

1710
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: Oh, the city? Okay. So typically here's the deal, Like

1711
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: anyone that's taking these computers, any reputable company is going

1712
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: to wipe them clean of the data. They're gonna they're

1713
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna pledge to do that. They're gonna make sure they

1714
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: do that. But I would say, in general, for my

1715
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: own privacy, I would not want to bring a computer

1716
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 1: that still has my personal information on it. Can you

1717
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: do it? Yes? You know, is it gonna be okay?

1718
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: A majority of the time, probably, But I can't in

1719
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: good faith, as a person that works with electronics all

1720
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: the time, say yeah, it's fine, just bring your computer

1721
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: with all your personal data on there. There's just too

1722
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: much data out there, and you never know. The company

1723
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: might have good intentions, but someone might break into the

1724
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: company and steal all these computers, you know, before they

1725
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: get recycled. So ok, So what I would do, Michael,

1726
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: for sure, is go into Windows Settings and there's a

1727
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 1: a I mean basically, I'll put these instructions on the websit.

1728
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,600
Speaker 1: I be going to settings, Change PC Settings, Update and

1729
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 1: recovery recovery, and then there is a get started button

1730
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: and you basically just say remove everything and reinstall Windows.

1731
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 1: There's a section that says that, and that's it. Basically. Yeah,

1732
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: just basically search recovery in your Windows and look for

1733
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,880
Speaker 1: the remove everything in reinstall Windows and that should get

1734
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: you to a place where the computer has your stuff

1735
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,759
Speaker 1: off of it if you want to. If you want,

1736
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: there are some third party there are some third party

1737
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: products out there that people use just to make sure

1738
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: and I know I'll get the emails if I don't

1739
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: mention them. So a couple of them are kill disc

1740
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 1: k I l L D I s K. So obviously

1741
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 1: that does what it sounds like. It kills the disc.

1742
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: They've got it for Windows, they've got it for Linux,

1743
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: they've got it for mac os. And then disc wipe

1744
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 1: as well. They've got that one. Let's see is this one. Yeah,

1745
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 1: it looks like it's free as well. So free software.

1746
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Support others by telling people about it, or support us

1747
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: by telling people about it. That's what I just did.

1748
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: So again, kill disc disc wipe. Now, if you have

1749
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 1: a newer computer, like I said, with Windows, Windows ten,

1750
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 1: Windows eleven, the newer max, they all have a system

1751
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 1: built in to wipe the drive clean and get it

1752
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: back to factory. That's gonna be good for ninety nine

1753
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: point nine percent of recycling or giving away the computer.

1754
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: But if you really want all of your information super

1755
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 1: super scrubbed from the hard drive, you might want to

1756
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: look into one of these programs like kill disc or

1757
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: wipe disc wipe, because what they can do is they

1758
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 1: can rewrite over the data once and so that way

1759
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: it makes sure that nothing is retrievable. Even if someone

1760
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: was a little tech savvy and got into that disc

1761
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:51,719
Speaker 1: and was able to do that. So those are the recommendations. Michael,

1762
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 1: thanks so much for that. Let's see if we can

1763
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: get David and Covina real quick. David, you're on with

1764
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 1: Rich Hi, Rich Hi, thank you absolutely. What's up?

1765
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:11,799
Speaker 9: Yes, Google, I why don't it switch to Yahoo?

1766
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 5: Oh?

1767
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,639
Speaker 1: Your your browser switched to Yahoo? Okay? Uh, that sounds

1768
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: like you've got malware on your system, or you installed

1769
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 1: something on your system, either a browser we call it

1770
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: a browser redirect, so a hijack extension, or you just

1771
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: did you installed something from Yahoo and they said, hey,

1772
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 1: do you want to switch to Yahoo and you said yes.

1773
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: So you can go into Chrome. You can go into

1774
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 1: settings and there's a way to go about Chrome and

1775
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: let's see there's a way to read. Oh, here it is.

1776
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: So you go into your settings on Chrome and it

1777
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: says reset settings. You tap reset settings to their original defaults,

1778
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 1: and that will clear everything that you've changed in the settings,

1779
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 1: including that Yahoo search default, and it will bring it

1780
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: back to Google. So again, open up Chrome setting. That's

1781
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: you go to menu, then Settings and then look on

1782
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 1: the left hand side. It says reset settings, and it

1783
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: says restore settings to their original defaults. You tap that

1784
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: and it should bring back David, your yeah or your Google. Yeah.

1785
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: This happens. It's it's very it's very common. In fact,

1786
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, people install stuff and next thing you know,

1787
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 1: their computer, their browser is doing something a little differently.

1788
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 1: So look at your extensions. The extensions are the software

1789
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: that you install into your browser. It's not a bookmark,

1790
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 1: it's not an application outside your browser. It's in your browser.

1791
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: And so just make sure you go through your extensions

1792
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: regularly and get rid of the ones that you do

1793
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: not need or don't recognize. Eighty eight rich one on one.

Speaker 1: to release this in the US, but they have not

1809
01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 1: given US pricing or a release date. It is available

1810
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: in South Korea and uh it is uh, we don't

1811

1812
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 1: I just heard from our guest, uh Caleb, Oh, we're

1813
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:05,759
Speaker 1: not going to get the TVs FAM emergency So yeah, bummer. Anyway,

1814
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:11,560
Speaker 1: so you've got you've got the Samsung Experience stores in California, Minneapolis,

1815
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 1: and let's see Queen's Center, and a couple other places

1816
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:17,640
Speaker 1: across the US. So I'll put a link on the website.

1817
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: But if you've been wanting to see this thing in person,

1818
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 1: you now finally can. There you go. In other news, Spectrum,

1819
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:27,679
Speaker 1: if you have Spectrum Internet and you've got dead spots

1820
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: in your house, you can now fix those for about

1821
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 1: five dollars a month. Spectrum is launching new Wi Fi

1822
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 1: seven extenders. So this is kind of like what I

1823
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: talk about in the in the house. If you have

1824
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 1: an euro system, this is basically their version of that,

1825
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 1: so you can buy this extender. Each extender covers about

1826
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 1: two thousand square feet of coverage, so basically, if you're

1827
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: having issues you've got a bigger house, or even if

1828
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: you're having any kind of issues with Spectrum, you can

1829
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 1: rent one of these. It's five dollars a month per extender.

1830
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 1: It only works with Wi Fi seven if you have

1831
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 1: the Spectrum Wi Fi seven routers, so keep in mind.

1832
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 1: They may have extenders for their older routers like the

1833
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 1: Wi Fi six, but check with them. But it's probably

1834
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,599
Speaker 1: easier to do that if you're already renting your router

1835
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,719
Speaker 1: from Spectrum you're having issues. Instead of buying a whole

1836
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 1: new Eurosystem, you can just rent this for five dollars

1837
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 1: a month from them, and that'll be a lot easier

1838
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 1: than doing that. And then remember we talked about this

1839
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: the startup Telly, remember that startup that gives out the

1840
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 1: free TVs with all the ads on them. We even

1841
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 1: had the founder on here and we've talked about them

1842
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 1: at length. They wanted to give out a whole bunch

1843
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:44,120
Speaker 1: of TVs. But this newsletter low Pass from Yenko Rogers.

1844
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: He says that Telly has only given out thirty five

1845
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: thousand TVs as of fall twenty twenty five, and that's

1846
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 1: a long way from the company's early promises to ship

1847
01:32:56,280 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand TVs in twenty twenty three million more

1848
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: after that. So you might remember, these TVs are free

1849
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 1: in exchange for ads. So they have a main screen

1850
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 1: which is fifty five inches, and then underneath there's a

1851
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:13,640
Speaker 1: secondary screen that's built into the set, so it's got

1852
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:17,400
Speaker 1: like widgets on there, like sports scores and news and

1853
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 1: the report which, by the way, Telly is not telling

1854
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:21,640
Speaker 1: us this. They don't want us to know this, but

1855
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: this is a report that this newsletter got a hold of.

1856
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 1: Logistics have been a major problem. About ten percent of

1857
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:33,559
Speaker 1: the TV's ship via FedEx arrive broken. Now, these are huge,

1858
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: heavy TVs and a lot of people have gotten them,

1859
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 1: but not enough. I mean, thirty five thousand is a

1860
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 1: good start, but it's not the scale they want to

1861
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: be able to deliver ads to make money. Now here's

1862
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 1: the user base. Telly made about twenty two million in revenue,

1863
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 1: which is about fifty dollars per TV per month. I mean,

1864
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: that's fine. It's not great. But oh he actually says,

1865
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:04,639
Speaker 1: oh wow, Okay, that actually beats Roku's last reported average

1866
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 1: revenue per user. So the model can work. That's good news.

1867
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the good news is the model can work.

1868
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: The problem is they've got to get more TVs into

1869
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 1: people's hands to make this work. And so if you've

1870
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:19,519
Speaker 1: been waiting for a TV, you're not alone. A lot

1871
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 1: of people. Every time I mentioned Telly, people sign up

1872
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 1: for it and they're like, Rich, where's my TV? I

1873
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:28,840
Speaker 1: don't have your TV instantly. Let's see should we do

1874
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:35,240
Speaker 1: a let's do an email question here. Gary in Scottsdale says,

1875
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 1: I heard you warn about the risks of storing authenticator

1876
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 1: codes and a password manager. I don't even realized that

1877
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 1: was a thing. All the authenticator apps I use just

1878
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 1: show a constantly changing number, So I'm confused. Why would

1879
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 1: anyone want to save or store those codes in the

1880
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:52,599
Speaker 1: first place? Okay, that is confusion, Gary. When I say stored,

1881
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean using the password manager to generate those one

1882
01:34:56,760 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 1: time codes for you. So it's all about convenience, right.

1883
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:04,840
Speaker 1: You have the code, and your password manager has both

1884
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: the password and the one time code all in the

1885
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 1: same place. But the downside, I think is the risk

1886
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:12,920
Speaker 1: of having those two things in the same place. If

1887
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 1: someone was able to get into your password manager, they

1888
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:19,080
Speaker 1: also have your two factor authentication code. So my preference

1889
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:22,519
Speaker 1: is to use separate apps for both your passwords and

1890
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 1: your two factor authentication. And the one I like. You

1891
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:27,639
Speaker 1: know what I'm going to say. If you've been listening

1892
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:31,680
Speaker 1: to me, The one I like is you're ready. It's

1893
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 1: Proton Authenticator. Proton Authenticator, and this thing has been amazing.

1894
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,759
Speaker 1: What I love about it is that it's open source,

1895
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:44,799
Speaker 1: which you know I love. It's available on every device,

1896
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 1: which you know I love. And it's free. What's better

1897
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:50,439
Speaker 1: than free? Now you might be saying, rich, Oh, if

1898
01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 1: it's free, it can't be that good. I really like

1899
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: what Proton's doing. And what they're doing is they offer

1900
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:59,200
Speaker 1: a free level of their products, knowing that people are

1901
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 1: going to get in there and say, oh, what's this. Uh,

1902
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 1: end to end end to end encryption? What is that?

1903
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 2: Oh?

1904
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 1: Let me, Oh they have that that's really private? Cool?

1905
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:09,760
Speaker 1: I like that. Oh what's this authenticator?

1906
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 5: Oh?

1907
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 1: I like this? It works exactly the way I want.

1908
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 1: No ads, no tracking, encrypted sync, open source, available on Android,

1909
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 1: available on iOS, available on Windows, Mac and Linux. And oh,

1910
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 1: by the way, you can export your codes when you

1911
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,599
Speaker 1: want to switch to something better, if that ever comes along,

1912
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 1: which really burned me with Authie, which is where I

1913
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 1: had them before, and then I realized, oh wait, I

1914
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: can't export my codes. So now I had to go

1915
01:36:35,439 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 1: through and reset up every single authentication uh service that

1916
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 1: I had my two factor. I had to go through

1917
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 1: every single app and reset it up. But it really

1918
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 1: works well. So Proton Authenticator and they make Proton I'm sorry.

1919
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 1: They make a lot of great stuff. They really do.

1920
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to they have mail, calendar, drive, VPN,

1921
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 1: all these things. If you want a VPN for free,

1922
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: Proton they've got a free level of VPN and why not.

1923
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:10,479
Speaker 1: So it gives you for free one device at a time,

1924
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: medium speed, so it's not gonna be the best speed,

1925
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,080
Speaker 1: but you can connect it servers in ten countries which

1926
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 1: are randomly selected. But that's pretty good for free, no ads,

1927
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a free VPN, that's not

1928
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 1: bad at all. So check out Proton for all these things.

1929
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I really like what they're doing there. All right,

1930
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: so we got that question answered. Let's see here. Patty says,

1931
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: I love your podcast, newsletters and TV spots. You're helpful

1932
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:42,960
Speaker 1: and patient with such a wide range of listeners. I

1933
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:45,759
Speaker 1: want to use apples Hide my Email feature more often,

1934
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,719
Speaker 1: but I mainly use Chrome even though all my devices

1935
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,640
Speaker 1: are Apple. Is it worth switching back to Safari or

1936
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:53,680
Speaker 1: is there a good extension or app that lets me

1937
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 1: use Hide my Email and Chrome? This is why Patty,

1938
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 1: this goes exactly into what I was saying about open

1939
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:05,639
Speaker 1: source and independent third party products. Apple. I love them,

1940
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 1: love Apple. They do amazing stuff, and I think Hide

1941
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:12,120
Speaker 1: my Email is great. The problem is everything with Apple

1942
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 1: leads you to more Apple. That's their entire game.

1943
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 7: Now.

1944
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 1: They do great stuff, but they don't care about anything else.

1945
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:22,160
Speaker 1: They don't care that you're using Chrome. They don't want

1946
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 1: you to use Chrome. They want you to use Safari.

1947
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:26,040
Speaker 1: Why do you think they make their stuff work so

1948
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 1: well with Safari? Why do you think it works so

1949
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,240
Speaker 1: well with Apple Mail? Why do you think it works

1950
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 1: so well with the passwords app that they make, and

1951
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 1: of course the iPhone. So if you want to use

1952
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: Hide my Mail and you're a paying subscriber Ofiicloud, you

1953
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,280
Speaker 1: have to go to Safari. That's going to be the

1954
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:47,280
Speaker 1: best way to do it. Hide my Mail. Hide my

1955
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,559
Speaker 1: Email really works best in Apple's own apps like Safari,

1956
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 1: Apple Mail and the iPhone, And if you want to

1957
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,800
Speaker 1: use hide my Email, you've got to switch back to Safari.

1958
01:38:58,200 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 1: Is Safari bad?

1959
01:38:59,160 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 3: No?

1960
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so far. He's bad at all. But

1961
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:04,679
Speaker 1: there are other third party products that you can use

1962
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: that give you a similar protection. Number one is Duck

1963
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Duck Go. They have something called Email Protection, which is

1964
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 1: free and that'll work. And then you've got Yahoo, but

1965
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,000
Speaker 1: you have to pay for plus on there, so if

1966
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 1: you're not doing that, you got to pay for Yahoo Plus.

1967
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,799
Speaker 1: Let's see what else you got. Gmail they have something

1968
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: called aliases. So basically, if you have a Gmail address,

1969
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:29,080
Speaker 1: Let's say your Gmail address is rich on Tech at

1970
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:32,439
Speaker 1: gmail dot com, you can create an email address on

1971
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:36,680
Speaker 1: the fly that's rich on Tech plus Time magazine. Let's

1972
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 1: say you're subscribing to that at gmail dot com, and

1973
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,640
Speaker 1: that email address will still go to Gmail. But the

1974
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,759
Speaker 1: cool thing is you can filter out that email address

1975
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 1: to the trash when you don't want to use it anymore.

1976
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:50,760
Speaker 1: Firefox has something called Firefox Relay. Oh, and look at

1977
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:56,800
Speaker 1: This is this Proton simple login. They've got email aliases

1978
01:39:56,840 --> 01:40:01,760
Speaker 1: for free. How many can you do? See pricing? You

1979
01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 1: can do ten of them for free. So there you

1980
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 1: have it. Proton's got a solution there too. Eight to

1981
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 1: eight rich one O one rich on tech dot tv

1982
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 1: is the website for want links to anything I just mentioned.

1983
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:14,599

1997
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 1: I am at rich on tech on Instagram. It's all

1998
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:10,559
Speaker 1: right there. Let's open up. Actually, let's do one story

1999
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:12,960
Speaker 1: before we open up the feedback. I thought this was interesting.

2000
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 1: The American Academy of Pediatrics released updated guidance on screen time,

2001
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 1: and they said, it's a little bit more complicated than

2002
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 1: it was before. So you've got apps, you've got social media,

2003
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 1: you've got video games, you've got algorithms, you've got AI.

2004
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 1: All of them are designed to hook kids in. That

2005
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 1: is number one. We already know that, but it's getting

2006
01:41:35,439 --> 01:41:39,440
Speaker 1: even worse. The platforms are built to keep kids scrolling,

2007
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: watching and tapping longer than is healthy. So this is

2008
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 1: what I thought was interesting. They're not saying that all

2009
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 1: screen time is bad. They're saying, in fact, that some

2010
01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 1: screen time is good. You know, it's educational, it's social,

2011
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 1: it's interesting, it's fun. It's like when we used to

2012
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 1: watch a movie when we were a kid. The problem

2013
01:41:56,560 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: is the platforms themselves are designed to keep kids in,

2014
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: and that heavier screen time is linked with less sleep,

2015
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:10,600
Speaker 1: less physical activity, less attention, more emotional regulation challenges. If

2016
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: you're a parent, you know what I just said is

2017
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 1: all true. So what can you do? Stop blaming parents

2018
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:20,599
Speaker 1: and kids alone? And they're saying that tech companies should

2019
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:24,599
Speaker 1: be held accountable for these designs. Right, they're designing apps

2020
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 1: that keep kids linked and keep kids on the screen,

2021
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 1: so they want safer defaults for kids, less targeted advertising,

2022
01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: less auto play, features, stronger privacy protections, and for families,

2023
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:40,759
Speaker 1: focus on quality content co viewing as much as possible.

2024
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:42,160
Speaker 1: I know the kids are gonna be on their screens

2025
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:45,839
Speaker 1: by themselves, screen free meal times like meals in bedtime,

2026
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 1: and then open conversations about what kids see online. I

2027
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 1: think that's all great advice. Let's open up the feedback.

2028
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: Karen writes in I thought you'd get a kick out

2029
01:42:57,520 --> 01:42:59,759
Speaker 1: of this. I was making dessert for a family gathering

2030
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: and using Alexa for reminders. I said, Alexa, remind me

2031
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: to put the Bobka on the racks in ten minutes.

2032
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 1: Ten minutes later, Alexa announces Karen put the vodka on

2033
01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:14,760
Speaker 1: the rats. Apparently I need to enunciate better looks better

2034
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:16,519
Speaker 1: than it sounds. Oh, she sent a picture and no

2035
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: animals were harmed in the making of this recipe. That

2036
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 1: is funny. Karen Steve writes in, My wife and I

2037
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 1: started using the Zoe app you mentioned, and we've been

2038
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: really enjoying it. We're starting to make better meal choices

2039
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 1: and even earning those beans along the way. Just wanted

2040
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 1: to say thanks. We're sticking with it absolutely, Steve. I

2041
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:40,680
Speaker 1: love this app Zoe Health. In fact, it made me

2042
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 1: put beans in my dinner last night and my breakfast

2043
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:47,599
Speaker 1: because they are all about increasing your fiber and stuff

2044
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:50,599
Speaker 1: that's good for your gut. So check it out Zoe

2045
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: dot com, Ze dot com. They've got an app for

2046
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:55,720
Speaker 1: both the iPhone and Android. You scan your food, it

2047
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 1: tells you how good it is for you. My wife

2048
01:43:57,240 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 1: and I love this. It's like we sit there and

2049
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 1: we try to guess what's going what's bad, not actually

2050
01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 1: not good and bad. It's more like what's healthier for you?

2051
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:08,960
Speaker 1: Sienna in California, I just want to say thank you.

2052
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 1: I love reading your newsletter every week. I'm a librarian

2053
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: in California. I teach a free class for seniors called

2054
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: tech Help. I really enjoy your tech questions from readers section.

2055
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,880
Speaker 1: I often use the things you share on substach and

2056
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:24,120
Speaker 1: your podcast as inspiration or as a reference for my students.

2057
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:27,760
Speaker 1: It really makes tech feel more approachable for them. Keep

2058
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:32,040
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. Thank you, Sienna. Kendra and Kansas

2059
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:33,720
Speaker 1: City writes in I heard you on the Woody Show.

2060
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I found your newsletter after hearing you

2061
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 1: on the Woody Show. When I was in high school,

2062
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 1: in college, tech felt easy. Now, at forty three, I

2063
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,439
Speaker 1: feel ancient and behind, especially when my teenage niece is

2064
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: teaching me how things work. On top of that, my

2065
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:48,000
Speaker 1: parents always need tech help. I used to be their

2066
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 1: go to person. Now I struggle to keep up myself.

2067
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 1: There's so much new technology it can feel overwhelming, but

2068
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,160
Speaker 1: your newsletter makes it feel less daunting and way less stressful.

2069
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 1: Thank you well, Thank you Kendra for finding me on

2070
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:02,599
Speaker 1: the Woody Show. So Tony, Hey Rich. I usually get

2071
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 1: the fastest help with airlines by reaching out on Twitter

2072
01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 1: or x especially when things like TSA PreCheck don't show up.

2073
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: That's worked well for me in the past, but last year,

2074
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 1: when I tried to change a booking with west Jet,

2075
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 1: I replied to an account that looked legit. It had

2076
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:17,040
Speaker 1: west Jet in the handle and the logo. They tried

2077
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 1: to DM me, then pushed me to WhatsApp that raised

2078
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:23,719
Speaker 1: a red flag. I later realized it was an imposter account.

2079
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 1: Thankful I didn't share any info. I think we said

2080
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 1: this one on air last week. Yeah, be careful. Anytime

2081
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 1: you're calling for tech support, do not just call the

2082
01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: number that comes up in search. Look at the website

2083
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 1: itself for the specific number. Nancy, I just want to

2084
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: say thank you. I always look forward to your newsletter.

2085
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:43,920
Speaker 1: It's one of the few emails I actually read all

2086
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:46,240
Speaker 1: the way through. I'm in Canada, so not everything applies,

2087
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 1: but most of it does, and I always learned something new.

2088
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:51,719
Speaker 1: I'm not very tech savvy, but your explanations really make sense.

2089
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. Nancy. Sean listening to the podcast says, I

2090
01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:58,760
Speaker 1: wanted to add that, Oh, this is from a question

2091
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 1: we had last week about location sharing. I said Life

2092
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 1: three sixty was a good way of doing it. I

2093
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,600
Speaker 1: just want to add that Google Maps another option for

2094
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 1: live location sharing. When my mom drove to Alabama to

2095
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:11,639
Speaker 1: visit my sister, she shared her location in Google meet

2096
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,759
Speaker 1: Maps and I could see her driving the entire way.

2097
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 1: She turned it off while she was visiting, then turn

2098
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 1: it back on for the drive. I'm assuming this works

2099
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,760
Speaker 1: the same way on the iPhone. Let me check. I

2100
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: believe if you tap that blue dot, yes, So if

2101
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: you're in Google Maps, you tap the blue dot on

2102
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 1: your screen it says share location, and then you can

2103
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:34,599
Speaker 1: now share your real time location for an hour or until,

2104
01:46:34,720 --> 01:46:36,800
Speaker 1: or you can just set amount of time or until

2105
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 1: you turn it off. Sean, that's a great, great tip.

2106
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:42,639
Speaker 1: I should have mentioned that last week. That is excellent.

2107
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 1: A lot of people are already using Google Maps. Again.

2108
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: If you want to share your location for like an

2109
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 1: hour or a certain amount of time or ongoing, you

2110
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:51,679
Speaker 1: can do it by tapping the blue dot and Google

2111
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:58,639
Speaker 1: Maps and it says share my location. Great great tip, Steve.

2112
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: Watching that woman struggle with music in or Tesla made

2113
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: me think there's a super duper solution. Oh, I think

2114
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,280
Speaker 1: we already got that. She should grab a portable CD

2115
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:09,480
Speaker 1: player and pair it with a cheap bluetooth audio transmitter.

2116
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:13,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes we get similar oh, John writes in one thing

2117
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to add from your printer discussion on my Mac,

2118
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,120
Speaker 1: there's a simple option in the print setup to switch

2119
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 1: from color to black and white. Just flipping that toggle

2120
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:23,920
Speaker 1: can save a lot of color ink. And I did

2121
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 1: not hear that mentioned. All Right, I love it. All right,

2122
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 1: that's going to do it for this episode of the show.

2123
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for listening. You can find links everything
