1
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: What's going on. I'm Richdmiro and this is Rich on Tech,

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: the podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: think you should know about, and it's where I answer

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: the questions that you send me. Thanks so much for

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast. This is a special edition. I'm

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna do all your questions. I've gotten so many questions

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: it has become almost a full time job. And they're

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: coming in from everywhere too. This is the weird thing,

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: not just California, not just some of the stations that

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm on across the US, but kind of like everywhere.

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: So it's been really interesting. It's been really fun through

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: the pandemic. I feel like I've gotten to know a

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: lot of you through Instagram and Facebook and all these

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: different places that you get your questions in. So I've

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of questions here that I've printed

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: out for my email, and I am going to do

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: my best to get through as many of them as possible,

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be mixing in some other stuff

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: along the way. I want to talk first off about

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: five G because I've been using the Note twenty Ultra,

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: which if you listen to the last show, you know

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: it's a really good phone. In fact, I'm so tempted

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: to switch to that phone, but I'm not sure if

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: I can give up everything just yet with my iPhone

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: and especially the Apple Watch. Although there is a new

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: fitbit that's coming out that kind of rivals the Apple

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Watch for me, So we will see. Maybe that will

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: be the winning combination. But the Note twenty Ultra is

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: a little bit big, especially because you have to have

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: a case on it. But anyway, so I have been

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: kind of checking out five G in different ways, and

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I have a pretty good understanding at this point of

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: the five G offerings from T Mobile, also at and

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: T and to a lesser extent, Verizon, because I've yet

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: to step into a five G area with Verizon, because

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I believe they are far and few between, few and

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: far between, far and few between whatever it is, so

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: T Mobile. The sim card that Samsung sent with the

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: review unit of the Galaxy Ultra was a T Mobile

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: sim and that was a five G SIM card five

41
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: G phone. And I'll be honest, I really am not

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: impressed with the five G that I saw on the

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: T Mobile network. Now I'm not saying it's not going

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: to be good in the future. But it's one of

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: these things where I really wanted to believe in it

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: and love it and couldn't wait to try it because

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: you see all these ads and all these things that

48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: they've been saying about how they are building like the

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: first true five G network everywhere, and they switched the

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: switch and it was everywhere all at once, really cool.

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: And you have a five G signal on the phone.

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: The little indicator looks awesome, but when you'd go to

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: use it, there were so many times when I couldn't

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: even get a good signal. It was super slow. It

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: was worse than LTE. I would switch back to LTE.

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's there just yet. And it's

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: fine if you have a five G phone and you

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: got five G, but I guess my thesis here is

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: that you don't necessarily need to switch to five G

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: to right now now. On the flip side, AT and

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: T another phone I have was a AT and T

62
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: simcard that they sent to test out the five G there,

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and I will say very impressed with the five G

64
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: on AT and T. It has a signal and a

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: lot of places, not as many as the T mobile,

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: but the signal when it was there worked a lot better.

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: And I'm talking great speeds like one hundred plus in

68
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: a lot of places. So this is just my observations.

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: It's casual. There's nothing specific or scientific about this. I'm

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: just telling you my casual observations. Now, I am considering

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: a switch to AT and T because of this. If

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: I do get a five G phone, I think that

73
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: AT and T would be the network to be on

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: right now. Verizon, which is my personal carrier, they don't

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: have five G. But the thing about Verizon is that

76
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: they're so solid just everywhere that it's just like one

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: of these things, where do you need five G? I mean,

78
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: how many things are you really doing on your phone

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: where you need a signal faster than you get with

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: your current provider. I'm not sure. Now. For me personally,

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: as a content creator, journalist, someone who's uploading to Instagram

82
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: and Facebook and videos and all that good stuff, it

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: would help me to have something that's really fast all

84
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: the time. And so for that reason, I think the

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: AT and T network would be awesome. Verizon apparently is

86
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: just stupid fast when you have a signal, but there's

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: not many places you have a signal, so Anyway, I

88
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: just figured i'd give you a little update on the

89
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: whole five G situation from my personal standpoint, and I'm

90
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: excited for it, and personally, it's funny because I love

91
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: T Mobile as a company. I think I've said this before.

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: I love them as a company just the way that

93
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: they don't really mess with you is very straightforward, and

94
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: so that's what I like about them. But I just

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: feel like the signal sometimes lags the advertising that you see.

96
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: But I'm also one of those people where when I

97
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: like a product, I'm willing to stick with it and

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of stick to it. So I don't know. Anyway,

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: let's get to the first question. This comes from Christine Turner.

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: She writes, I need to buy a new router and

101
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: really need a quiet one, quiet one along with it

102
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: being strong. There are so many to choose from and

103
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: it's driving me crazy, so I thought i'd ask the expert. Also,

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: what brand was the twenty seven dollars earbuds on Amazon

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: that you tried out? The Samsung ones don't fit me

106
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: and they drop out. Thanks so much, Christine. Well, the

107
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: Wi Fi signal, I'm not sure what you mean by

108
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: a quiet one. I don't know of a loud router,

109
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: but the routers the I have a lot of experience

110
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: with these Wi Fi routers because I've recently upgraded my

111
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: internet at home and so I've been getting the new

112
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: euro devices that can handle the higher speeds. So I've

113
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: got now three of them in my house, and my

114
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: speeds are okay. I wouldn't say it's amazing. I'm getting

115
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: a thousand down at the at the at the origination point,

116
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: I guess the source, you can say, and then when

117
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I get it into the other areas, I'm getting about

118
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: three hundred, maybe three point fifty on a good day,

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: and sometimes less than that. So I still feel like

120
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: I can do some more work to get this signal better,

121
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: but it's still pretty good. I mean, I'm very happy

122
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: with it. So the routers i'd recommend are anything with

123
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: a mesh network, which is pretty much all the routers

124
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: at this point. But the brands that I like and

125
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: the brands that I know are Euro, which I feel

126
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: like is kind of like the gold standard. Then you

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: also have Google, Nest Wi Fi, which you know, I

128
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: think works pretty well as well and a lot of

129
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: people like it, and then neckgar Orby I have not

130
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: tested that personally, but I do believe that they do

131
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: a good job because I get a lot of reviews

132
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: from people saying they love it. As for the earbuds,

133
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: so this was something called Let's Fit, and this was

134
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: a story we did on ktla a couple months ago,

135
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: and this company reached out to me Let's Fit, and

136
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: they said, hey, do you want to try these earbuds

137
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: that are dirt cheap. They're only I think it was

138
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars. They're called the Let's Fit T thirteen,

139
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, this was the most popular story

140
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: I've I think ever done on ktla. And these are

141
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: now twenty one dollars on Amazon. They have four and

142
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: thirty six reviews. I got a ton of emails from

143
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: people that purchase these and said they love them. And

144
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I've done sound tests of these devices and I will

145
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: say they sound better than a majority of the more

146
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: expensive earbuds. And they're only twenty one dollars. They don't

147
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: sound better than the AirPods, but they do sound really

148
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: really good for the price. I mean, for twenty one dollars,

149
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong. So again, those are the Let's

150
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Fit T thirteen earbuds on Amazon. Fantastic little device for

151
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: that price. All right, let's move on. Oh you know what,

152
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: let me tell a story real quick. This was kind

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: of crazy, So I just mentioned that I ordered the

154
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Euro so I've been these things. The Eros are kind

155
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: of tough to get. I used to have the old Euros,

156
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: which were just the Euro, not the pro and the beacons.

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: And so when I got the new Internet, I realized

158
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: you needed the faster eros, which are called the euro Pros,

159
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: which have the tryband. It's a whole bunch of stuff

160
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: that you don't necessarily need to know. Well, unless you

161
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: have really high speed Internet then you should know. But

162
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: the Eros are like sold out everywhere, so I've been

163
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: tracking them. You just can't go on Amazon and buy them.

164
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: So I had to buy it from a third party retailer,

165
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, another big name which I won't mention, but

166
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: you know it rhymes with let's see nest guy, That's

167
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: what it rhymes with. And I get this package in

168
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: the mail after a week and I open it up

169
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: and the first thing I realized there's no shrink wrap

170
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: on my Euro box. I'm like, that's weird, because the

171
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: last one I ordered from the same exact place, by

172
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: the way, had shrink wrap on it, and so I go,

173
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: all right, well, I don't know, maybe they for eco

174
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: friendly reasons, they don't shrink wrap them anymore. Well, next thing,

175
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, I open it up and I'm like, that's weird.

176
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: The cord is kind of like mushed and smushed, and

177
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: you know how you ever, you know how you take

178
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: a cord apart and you have to put it back together.

179
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: You never get it exactly right. Then the court also

180
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: had some scotch tape on it. I was like, that's

181
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: definitely not how euro packages their boxes. Then I look

182
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: at the Ethernet cable and it's also repackaged, and also,

183
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: by the way, there was a hair stuck in the tape.

184
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is okay, this is clearly an open

185
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: box that they sent me. I ordered a new one. Ah,

186
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of annoying. So I call the company.

187
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: Of course, it took a half an hour to get

188
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: someone on the phone, and they say, allay, well we'll

189
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: send you a new one. No real apology, just oh,

190
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: we'll send you a new one. And I have to

191
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: send back this one. And I said, well, that's kind

192
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: of a pain. I mean, I'm fine keeping this because

193
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: this is clearly an open box. I'm sure it works fine,

194
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: you know. Can you just give me a credit for

195
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: my trouble and I'll just keep this one. You don't

196
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: have to spend the money to send me a new one.

197
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't have to spend the money to send back

198
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: the old one. And they said, all right, hold on.

199
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: After about ten minutes on hold, they finally come back

200
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: with their offer and they say, all right, we'll give

201
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: you a twenty dollars credit. Twenty bucks on a two

202
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: hundred dollars device. I was thinking more like forty or fifty.

203
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: The whole reason I didn't buy it on eBay is

204
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: because I didn't want a new one, and on eBay

205
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: I could have saved fifty dollars if I would have

206
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: ordered it used. So this whole thing is going on,

207
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: but you know, I just wanted to make things a

208
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: little bit easier, so I decided to keep it. And

209
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: now I've got the device and it's it's working just fine.

210
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: All right. Now that you know that story, let's move

211
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: on to a question from Franci. Francie says, Hey, Rich,

212
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: I need your expertise, advice. You have two handsome kids. Well,

213
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: thank you. I have two beautiful girls, nine and seven,

214
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: and now with homeschool, I'm having problems finding the best

215
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: headphones that are safe kids hearing. My daughters don't like

216
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: the earbuds they prefer over the ear headphones, but they

217
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: also need a microphone to talk with the teacher, and

218
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: one that's comfortable five hours in class, also safe on

219
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: the volume, no super loud to protect their hearing. The

220
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: best ones are super expensive. We've already spent money on

221
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: two computers. Now we need headphones. This homeschool situation is hard,

222
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: but better to be safe than sorry with this virus.

223
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Hopefully you can help me, so I will tell you

224
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: what I think are really good headphones. And I can't

225
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: take I can't take the credit for this because we

226
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: interviewed a person named Lauren Dragon over at the Wirecutter,

227
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: which is a great reviews website, and when I talk

228
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: to her about the best headphones, she said, these are

229
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: the best, and the best are pure O p R

230
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: specifically the BT twenty two hundreds or I guess two

231
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred s and these are ninety dollars. But

232
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: what I would recommend is that you want to make

233
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: sure that you look for some sort of discount and

234
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: right now maybe they're not offering them. But I've noticed

235
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: if you kind of watch the website, and this is

236
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: true of a lot of websites, just kind of oh wow,

237
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: look at this. See that my little Honey extension Honey

238
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: fifteen fifteen percent discount exclusive from Honey. So again, have

239
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: one of these things. I really like this Honey. I

240
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I really like it, but it's definitely gotten

241
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: me some discounts. But what's the website for that? Is

242
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: it get Honey dot com? Uh yeah, get Honey dot

243
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: com or Join Honey there it is join Honey dot

244
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: com and that's a browser extension that looks for coupon

245
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: codes automatically. But anyway, they have a fifteen percent. But

246
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: Puro I think is the best because exactly what you're saying, Francy.

247
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: They hit all the marks. They have volume limiting, which

248
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: is really good, they go over your ears, and they

249
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: also have a microphone, and they're super comfortable and they

250
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: last forever. So these are the headphones myke have after

251
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: Lauren recommended them, and Lauren tests headphones for a living.

252
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: So when she said that these are the best. I

253
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: took her word for it, and we've been using them

254
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: ever since and they are fantastic. My kids love them.

255
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: They've had them for I think two years now, and

256
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: believe me, they're not taking care of them like you know,

257
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: sitting there putting them back in their cases and stuff.

258
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: They're just using them all over the place and we've

259
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: had no problems and they work great. They also work

260
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: Bluetooth or wired, which I really like as well. So

261
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: again look up. The website is Purosound purosound dot com.

262
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: And I just mentioned the BT twenty two s, but

263
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: there are a twenty two hundred s, but there are

264
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different headphones. They have them for

265
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: adults and kids. But that is going to be I

266
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: think the best case scenario, all right, Mary says, hey, Rich,

267
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: I watch you regularly. I saw the info on the

268
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Google Pixel recorder on KTLA this morning. I have a

269
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Pixel one and I went to the Place store to

270
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: find it. However it's not listed. Hmm. The website shows

271
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: a similar icon, but it's not from Google like yours.

272
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: I found the voice recorder smart Moby Tools. I'm unable

273
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: to locate the exact recorder in my Google Pixel Play store.

274
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: Is there anything I can do to locate the app

275
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: that you mentioned? So I did a little digging on

276
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: this one, and it turns out that the recorder app

277
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: is only compatible with Pixel two and up. So Mary,

278
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: you are out of luck on this one. And this

279
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: is another thing that happens very often when I talk

280
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: about things on TV and I notice this on my

281
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: Facebook page, I notice it on Twitter, I notice it

282
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: on email. People for some reason think that they know

283
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about and just google things, and next

284
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: thing you know, they're emailing me saying, Rich, I bought

285
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: this and it's you. You were wrong, this is not

286
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: or this is cheaper than what you said or what

287
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: you got it. This is why I do the blog

288
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: post on ktla dot com and on my website. I

289
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: make sure that I give you the direct links to

290
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: the things I'm talking about. If you just go on

291
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: Google Play and Google recorder app, what do you think

292
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. You're gonna find some random app, not

293
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: the exact what I'm recommending. And this was part of

294
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: a story I did on KTLA about transcription apps, and

295
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: I did some really good recommendations and I'll just go

296
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: through them really quickly. Number one was Google Docs. You

297
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: can do voice typing in Google Docs. Number two is

298
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Office three sixty five. They launched a new transcribe feature

299
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: where you can upload audio and it will transcribe it,

300
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: or you can just tap dictate and it will do

301
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: something similar. The Google Recorder app is only available for

302
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: the Google Pixel, but I'll be honest, I was able

303
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: to install it on my Samsung As or the Samsung

304
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: and testing, I should say, with an APK that I

305
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: got from Xda, say that ten times fast. Now, I

306
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: don't recommend you install APKs unless you know what you're doing,

307
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: because there could be some security issues. I trust XDA

308
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: and I did install it and it works fine on

309
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: the Samsung. Doesn't work on every phone, and i'd recommend

310
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: this to Mary, but I'm not sure that I want

311
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: to be recommending people downloading and installing APKs because you

312
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: have to allow your phone to install things outside Google Play,

313
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: and unless you're a total nerd and not what you're doing,

314
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: that could be a bad thing. So anyway, that's the

315
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: Google Recorder app. If you do want something similar that

316
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: works on all androids and iPhones, I recommend an app

317
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: called Otter Ai and you get six hundred minutes of

318
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: free transcription each month, and then finally Descript. This is

319
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: the one that's great for Zoom calls because Otter works

320
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: with Zoom as well. But Descript lets you upload a

321
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: recorded Zoom call and they will transcribe it. Unfortunately, that

322
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: one's only good for three hours a month. After that

323
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: it's twelve dollars a month. So to answer your question, Mary,

324
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: the pixel the recorder thing from Google is amazing. I've

325
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: been using that the most because it's so easy. In fact,

326
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: I use it to transcribe almost all of the virtual

327
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: meetings that I've had in interviews because I just love

328
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: having the transcript and it's unlimited, it's as long as

329
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: you want, and it kind of works. So Mary, if

330
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: you're not open to upgrading your phone, then you're probably

331
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: gonna have to do Otter for now. But good question,

332
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: and yeah it happens. Not every app is compatible with

333
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: every Android phone, and that you know, when I do

334
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: my stories, I do think about this stuff. I do

335
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: try to make sure that I find stuff that works

336
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: with a lot of different phones and platforms and cross

337
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: platforms especially. You know, I could do only iPhone apps

338
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: all the time, but then people email me like, rich,

339
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: what about Android. I'm like, I know a lot of

340
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: apps come out on Android first, all right, sorry, on

341
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: iPhone first, and then they come to Android, and so

342
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: that's you know, the problem there. So I always try

343
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: to think about, okay, is this app available on both?

344
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: That's really what I'm trying to do, all right. Next

345
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: question coming from oh classy lady, classy lady. A classy

346
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: lady on AOL says, how do you screenshot on a

347
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Galaxy X pro cover? How do you screenshot on a

348
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: Galaxy x Pro cover? So what I've discovered is screenshotting

349
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: is pretty much usually the same across Android. It's usually

350
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: the down especially on the Samsung. It's the volume down

351
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: along with the power button, and you hold that down

352
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: for about a second and then you release. You'll see

353
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: your screen turn white with a flash, and then it

354
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: will take the screenshot. On the iPhone, it's the opposite.

355
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: It is the volume up and the power button at

356
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: the same time. Or I guess I should say side

357
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: button on the new phones, so power button as well

358
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: as the up button on the iPhone that will take

359
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: the screenshot. So those are the two ways to take

360
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: the screenshots. There are also other ways on some of

361
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: the phones. On the Samsung or what was it not

362
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: was it the Samsung, you can do like these gesture controls.

363
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: You can also do the little s pen if you

364
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: have one of the notes, you can also do I

365
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: think on the samsungs you can wave your like the

366
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: side of your hand over the phone slowly and that

367
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: will take a screenshot if you have that enabled. Those

368
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: are some of the different ways. And then what's the

369
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: other one I saw the other day on the one plus,

370
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: I think they had if you place three fingers on

371
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: the screen and swipe to the right, it'll take a screenshot.

372
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: So lots of options for screenshots. Just remember with iPhone

373
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: it's usually the volume up plus the side button, and

374
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: on Android it's volume down plus the side button. There

375
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: all right, Jennifer writes in and says, hey, Rich, my

376
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: son is oh thoughts on iPhone eleven versus iPhone eleven Pro.

377
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: My son is looking into getting a new phone. Unfortunately

378
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: his camera stopped working in his Samsung seven Edge. He

379
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: has obviously had this phone for four years and well

380
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: he needs a camera for his school stuff. So your

381
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: thoughts I'm a single mom of two, and if I'm

382
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: going to invest in this phone he is looking at,

383
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if it's worth the buy. I

384
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: appreciate your feedback. And again the subject was thoughts on

385
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven versus iPhone eleven Pro. Well, I think that

386
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: he probably how old is he? Did he say? Did

387
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: he say how old he is? I'm a single mom.

388
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, doesn't say how old he is, but

389
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: uh oh, sixteen, so he's sixteen. I would probably recommend

390
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: just the iPhone eleven. I mean, why does he need

391
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: the Pro? The Pro is going to give you a

392
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: better looking screen, it's going to give you slightly better

393
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: battery life, and it's also going to give you a

394
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: better camera because it's got the zoom the telephoto lens. Now,

395
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: you can still zoom in on an iPhone eleven, it's

396
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: just not gonna be as clear as the the Pro.

397
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: And you can do everything you can do on the

398
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: Pro on the iPhone eleven. So for that reason, I

399
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: think that the iPhone eleven is the way to go.

400
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: I mean, why would you not. Now I'm gonna throw

401
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: something out there. I don't know if your sixteen year

402
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: old's gonna be happy with this because he's got the

403
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: Samsung seven Edge. I'm not sure just how big that

404
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: screen is, so he may not want to take a

405
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: step back in screen size. But you also have the

406
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: iPhone se which has a smaller format, a smaller screen,

407
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: no face ID, the camera's still great. And that's only

408
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: three hundred ninety nine dollars if you go with the

409
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: Samsung seven Edge, even if you trade that in, I

410
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna get very much for that. So

411
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: let's just see if you go for the iPhone eleven,

412
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: Let's see how much that's gonna cost you. You've got

413
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: purchase options. Let's just go with white sixty four gigs

414
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: with kids. I mean they use a lot of pictures

415
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: and videos. I'd probably spend the extra fifty dollars and

416
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: get the one hundred and twenty eight gig model. I mean,

417
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: you're literally doubling your memory for fifty extra dollars. You're

418
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: already spending six ninety nine, so spend seven forty nine

419
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: get double the memory. And now let's say we've got

420
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: a trade in, yes, and let's select our model, which

421
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: is a Samsung Galaxy S seven. Ah they're not even

422
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: doing the S seven anymore. Rope rope. All right, Well

423
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. So you're not gonna get anything for the

424
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: S seven unfortunately. Now you can go to another website.

425
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: You can always sell things on eBay. But let's see

426
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: if you can get anything on gazelle dot com for

427
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: the S seven. If you're looking for a used device,

428
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: by the way, you can sell your device here. So

429
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: sell Samsung. It's a good sign that the S seven

430
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: looks like it's the phone they have on there. So

431
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: let's just say it is a factory unlocked and it

432
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: is the S seven. Let's scroll all the way down

433
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: S seven edge. Let's see how much they're giving you

434
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: for it, and let's say it's in good condition. Sixty

435
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: nine dollars. So there you go, sixty nine bucks. You

436
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: I just saved you sixty nine dollars. So sell the

437
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: phone on Gazelle, or if you're really good, put it

438
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: on eBay. I always say eBay, you're gonna get a

439
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: little bit more, but you're gonna have to You're gonna

440
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: have to do more. So eBay is a lot more work,

441
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: but you're going to get a higher return on your product.

442
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: Versus Gazelle. Super easy. You drop it in the mail

443
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: in two minutes and boom you get your sixty nine dollars.

444
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: But it's going to be less than you'd normally get

445
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: because you're not doing as much work. There's another website

446
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: called Swapa. I don't think that they would be taking

447
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: the S seven Edge though, because that seems like kind

448
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: of an older phone. So I'm just not sure you

449
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: might be able to sell it there. But I think

450
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: that Gazelle is gonna be your best bets. But I

451
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: would go with the iPhone eleven or the iPhone S

452
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: for him. All right, Maraud says, did you ever find

453
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: a fix for the Samsung Galaxy Note twenty ultra issues

454
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: with social media? I think you said you were gonna

455
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: try her of Verizon sim and see if the issues

456
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: were network related. What happened? Good question. This was related

457
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: to the review of the s twenty Ultra. I said,

458
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: my biggest problem with it is that social media looks

459
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: like garbage on it, and it's still kind of happening.

460
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: So I did try the Sorry when I had the problems,

461
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: I was on T Mobile and I realized that T

462
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: Mobile generally throttles video to four eighty P, which I

463
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: don't like. I want full HD. Well, even on the

464
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: best carriers now they're still doing just seven to twenty P.

465
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: So I did try. Basically everything looked all garbily so

466
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: all the like Instagram stories, they just look garbly like pixelated,

467
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of the videos I'd look at on

468
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: whether it was Facebook or even Instagram, they just looked bad.

469
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: I just wasn't used to it. On iPhone, social media

470
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: videos look fantastic. They look just as crystal clear as

471
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: the camera that took them, but for some reason, when

472
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: you upload them through Android and view them through Android,

473
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: they look horrendous. And so I did find that with

474
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: Tea Mobile a lot across the board. When I tried

475
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: it with AT and T. It's still happening, just not

476
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: as much. I think it's looking better, but I think

477
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: that the problem is iPhone just looks really good with

478
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: social media and the rest just can't touch it. And

479
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: that's mainly because I've talked about this before. The thing is,

480
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: all of the phones are optimized for social media. On

481
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: the iPhone. All these developers do is concentrate on the

482
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: iPhone and they're sitting there and if you've noticed you're

483
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: getting updates for your apps all the time on iPhone.

484
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: It happens on Android, but just not as much. And

485
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: I think that's because this prevalence we have of the

486
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: iPhone in the US, at least, it's very iPhone centric,

487
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: and so these developers make a lot of money on

488
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: the iPhone. They want to service their iPhone audience first. Now,

489
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: when you're talking a big app like Instagram, why does

490
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: it act like garbage on the Android. I don't know,

491
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: it shouldn't. I know. For a long time, Facebook was

492
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: so iPhone centric that they didn't even think about Android,

493
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: and it was a problem. And now I'm seeing more

494
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: of the apps and more of the features come to

495
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: Android and iPhone around the same time. But still there

496
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: is a major discrepancy between these two platforms. And if

497
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: you have an Android, it's kind of frustrating because I

498
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: get why it happens. It happens because there are a

499
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: million and one Androids out there, and if I have

500
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: an app and I'm an app developer, I can't sit

501
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: there and optimize my app for million and one phones.

502
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: So what you end up doing is you do basics

503
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: that work on a variety of Androids, but it doesn't

504
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: work very good. And the best way to illustrate this

505
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: is case in point Note twenty ultra. If I create

506
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: a story on the Note twenty Ultra and then I

507
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: look at that Instagram story on the iPhone, it looks

508
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: like garbage. Whether it's a video that I uploaded or

509
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: the placement of the text, everything's blown up, blown out,

510
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: things are cut off. It's very frustrating. If you only

511
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: have an Android phone, you don't really know that because

512
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: you're not looking at different phones like I am all

513
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: the time to see the differences. I don't think it's

514
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: a deal breaker for the Note twenty Ultra because it's

515
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: still such a great phone. I just wish that social

516
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: media was a little little bit better. All right, let's

517
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: see Pamela says Hi Rich, I hope you and your

518
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: family are doing well. We are, thank you. Here's my problem.

519
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: I have Lenovo Flex five with some keys not working.

520
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: This has been a problem off and on for about

521
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: two years. But now since I can't get all of

522
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: the keys to work at all, I want to replace

523
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: the keyboard myself. I have tried looking up self help

524
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: on doing this, and it looks very difficult. It looks

525
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: as if I would have to remove almost everything inside

526
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: the computer before getting to the keyboard. What do you think,

527
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: do I have to remove everything before getting to the keyboard?

528
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: Is this something I should attempt? Any suggestions do not

529
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: do this yourself, Pamela, I would not attempt. If you're

530
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: talking about going underneath the entire laptop and unscrewing the

531
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: bottom four screws and taking out the motherboard and then

532
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: getting to the keyboard, I would not recommend doing that

533
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: for the mere mortal not something that you should be

534
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: doing yourself. With that said, you know, if you've watched

535
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: these little videos and you've seen them and you have

536
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: you have some hesitation because you're emailing me so clearly

537
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: you're thinking, I don't know if this is a good idea.

538
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: So that tells me that you have not done this before,

539
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: and you probably don't want to attempt it on your

540
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: laptop that you rely on. I have done this with

541
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: several laptops, but mostly back in the day when laptops

542
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: were much more forgiving to upgrades, and the main things

543
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: that I upgraded were the memory and also the hard drives,

544
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: back when you could do that very easily. Today's computers

545
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: just not so easy. Now, when it comes to the keyboard,

546
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: there are two things you might be able to do.

547
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: You might be able to pop off some keys with

548
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: a little tool and find some replacement keys on eBay

549
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: or from you know, just look them up on Amazon

550
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: and pop those keys back on and they might work.

551
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: In fact, the problem might be just little crud underneath

552
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: the keys. So I would maybe try popping off one

553
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: of the keys that's not working and put a new

554
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: one on, Or just maybe use some canned air on

555
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: the keyboard and see if maybe blowing some canned air

556
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: underneath these keys might work. Just be careful because you

557
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: don't want to make this thing worse than it already is.

558
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I think, if you

559
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: want to get use out of this laptop, let's say

560
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Flex five. Oh, this is a chromebook. Let's see is it?

561
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: Is it a chromebook? I don't know. It's a two

562
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: in one laptop and it's no longer available. So I

563
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: would say, if you still want to get some use

564
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: out of this thing, it's probably fine if it's only

565
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: two years old, but I would bring it somewhere like

566
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: a you break, I fix one of these National places

567
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: you can go to like Best Buy, geek Squad. They're

568
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: probably going to charge you more. But I would go

569
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: to one of these little local fix it places, and

570
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: if you need to find one in your area, I

571
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: would check you break I fix first and see if

572
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: that works. If not, I would just check Yelp and

573
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: look for a highly rated computer repair facility near you.

574
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: I've done computer repairs to these places nearby and they're great.

575
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: It's a little inconvenient. You got to bring your computer there.

576
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: There's always a chance they could wipe your hard drives.

577
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: You want to make sure you have everything backed up.

578
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know a

579
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: couple hundred bucks, you're gonna be using your computer, and

580
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: it's more of the process. That's kind of a lengthy process,

581
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: And yes, you have to bring your computer there and

582
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: wait and this and that, But at the end of

583
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: the day, you're gonna enjoy having your computer fixed by someone.

584
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: I always say it's better to have this done by

585
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: someone who does it on a daily basis. Why do

586
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: you want to attempt to do something for the very

587
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: first time on a gadget that you rely on when

588
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: there is someone out there doing this every single day.

589
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: They know exactly what they're doing, they have the expertise,

590
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: and yes, it's gonna cost you money, but at the

591
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, then you don't have to worry

592
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: about breaking this thing. And then it's on you and

593
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna be even more frustrated if you short circuit it,

594
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: or if you mess something up, or if you get

595
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: it all done, which is great, and then you can't

596
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: get the back back on or something like that. So

597
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: find a fix it place, get it done, and move

598
00:31:52,600 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: on with life. That's what I would recommend. Okay, hey,

599
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: let's move on to or Mo's or Mo's or Mo's

600
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,120

00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: tell you because I've been using this website since I

613
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: did the story. I did the website. I signed up

614
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: on the website and it's great. So I have a

615
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: whole bunch of cards for different things that I'm getting

616
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: charged for. And what you do is you sign up

617
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: with your I believe it's your bank account, maybe your

618
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: debit card as well, so you might be able to

619
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 1: use your debit card. But again, once you sign up,

620
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: you cannot use your credit card. So yeah, funding okay, yeah,

621
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: my debit card. So you can use your debit card

622
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: or your bank account. And so I went with my

623
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: debit card, which is linked to my bank account. But

624
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: you sign up with that and then when you want

625
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: to charge something, you generate a card number, and this

626
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: card number can be good for one time use or

627
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: it can be good for recurring use, but it will

628
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: only authorize for an amount you want. So, for instance,

629
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: I've got my Serious XM card and that will only

630
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: authorize for ten dollars a month. So if Serious XMS

631
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: decides to get sneaky and tries to charge me for

632
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: a full year in advance. Once my little promotion is

633
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: up and they try to charge me two hundred dollars,

634
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: this card is just going to deny that transaction. So

635
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: it puts a lot of control in the consumer's hands,

636
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: and I love it. It's been great. I've been using it

637
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: for a lot of these random transactions that either it's

638
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: a website that I don't normally do business with, like

639
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: I ordered some outdoor stuff from this one website I

640
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: never used before. I didn't want them to have my

641
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: debit card number, so I just generated a one time

642
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: card number. They did the transaction. That's it. That card

643
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: has expired. They can they can't do anything else with it.

644
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: If someone finds that that card number or their website

645
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: is breached, they can't use it. So the website is

646
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: privacy dot com. They make money by getting a little

647
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: tiny percentage of the transaction. So if you charge one

648
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, Privacy might make a dollar off of that.

649
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how much the amount is, but that's

650
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: how they make money. So it doesn't cost anything. You

651
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: get a certain amount of cards each month, and if

652
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,479
Speaker 1: you want more than that, then you have to pay.

653
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 1: I have not hit that at all. So there's also

654
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: a cash back. Let's see, when you make a purchase

655
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: using a private don't know, there's a cashback system as well,

656
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: so you can make one percent back. But that's the website.

657
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: I really like it. It helps me. If you've listened to

658
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: the podcast many times, you know that I like to

659
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: use my debit card over my credit card, and a

660
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of times on these random websites. I don't want

661
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: to use my debit card because I don't want that

662
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: number to get stolen or hacked or taken or whatever,

663
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: because it's a headache to get a new one and

664
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: it's my money. So I'd rather use something like privacy

665
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: where yet it's still coming out of my debit card.

666
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: But if something ever happens to that website, I don't

667
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: have to worry about it because that card is not

668
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: really going to work again. So there you go, Privacy

669
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: dot com. Don Williams Rights, Hey Rich, I'm an instructional

670

672
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: respect for you for doing that. Thank you. I know

673
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: that takes a lot of patience and good heart, so

674
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: thank you for doing that. My laptop is dying and

675
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a good quality laptop for work and

676
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: social media. I'm trying to stay under one thousand dollars.

677
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: Do you have any suggestions. I will also use it

678
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: for personal stuff like social media, music, etc. Thank you

679
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: for your time and help. Don Don. I would say,

680
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a laptop under one thousand dollars,

681
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: I would go with a MacBook Air. And the reason

682
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: I would say MacBook I know rich you only care

683
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: about Apple stuff. Oh Apple, Apple, Apple, Well, let me

684
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: give you my reasoning. I have purchased Apple laptops for

685
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: a couple of years now, and I'll just tell you

686
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: they are I call them the workhorse. They just work.

687
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: They work and work and work and work and work

688
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: and work. There's no fuss, you don't have to think

689
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: about them. There's not a whole bunch of pop ups

690
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: happening all the time. There's not a whole bunch of

691
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: software you're always downloading and uploading. And every time I

692
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: turn on a Windows computer there's some sort of major

693
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: software update on my Mac. Yeah, there's a couple of

694
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: software updates here and there, but it's not that big

695
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: of a deal, and it just runs smooth. You don't

696
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: have to think about a lot of stuff when you

697
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: have a Mac And for that reason, I think if

698
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: you want a headache free experience and you're willing to

699
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: spend one thousand dollars, if you said you were spending

700
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: you want to spend less than fine, I would have

701
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: recommended some sort of budget Windows laptop, but you're looking

702
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: to spend a thousand bucks. The MacBook Air is eight

703
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: ninety nine in the Education Store on Apple, and you

704
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: get free air pods at this point. So I I

705
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: that to me, that sounds like an amazing deal. And

706
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: I've had MacBook Airs. I've had them, I've edited video

707
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: on them. I used them for my first couple of

708
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: years at KTLA and they're great. Now over the years,

709
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: I've upgraded higher and hire to now a MacBook Pro sixteen.

710
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: I used to have a thirteen. But again, all these

711
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: laptops have been fantastic. And the best thing about Apple

712
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: laptop versus a Windows laptop when you are done with it,

713
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: after you know it could be four or five years,

714
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: it could be six, could be seven. You can use

715
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: these things for a really long time, and when you're

716
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: done with it, you can still use it by giving

717
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: it to a friend or a family member because it's

718
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: still going to work. And yes it's gonna get a

719
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: little bit slower over the U, but not like a

720
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Windows laptop. I'm not bashing Windows stuff, but I'm just saying,

721
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: since Dawn, you want to spend one thousand dollars, get

722
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: something that's really good and get something that's really going

723
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: to work for the long haul. So that's what I

724
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: would recommend. And thank you again for being a fantastic teacher.

725
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: Our kiddos need it and you're doing a great job there,

726
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Lisa Nole says on my Facebook page. Hey, Rich I

727
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: really enjoy your on tech reports. I've been searching for

728
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: the name of a cell phone that you had on

729
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: your show. I believe last year. It was mainly for

730
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: senior citizens and it makes calls no Internet. Do you

731
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: recall the name of the phone. My mother is in

732
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: need of a new phone. She's in a senior facility

733
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: and needs a simple to use phone. She's not allowed

734
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: any visitors at this time on I'm unable to teach

735
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: her how to use a new phone in person. Thank

736
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: you for your time and help have a great day. Well.

737
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: The phone that I mentioned, I believe it was two

738
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: of them, and one of was the light Phone. And

739
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: this is a phone that just does phone calls. That's it.

740
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: It's a very simple phone. You can what the cool

741
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: thing is, you can actually link it to your Verizon account.

742
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: And it's just a phone. You can't do anything with it.

743
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: And now that I think about it, I should use

744
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: this this weekend so I can just disconnect from the grid.

745
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: But the light phone is a little phone. All it

746
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: does is make phone calls. It's got an e ink screen,

747
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: the battery last forever, and that's it. You can do

748
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: text on there as well, but that's it. It's a

749
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: light phone. It's a simple phone. And how much is

750
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: it Let's see how much is that phone? Wow? Three

751
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, So it's kind of expensive for what you

752
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: get that. That's kind of an expensive phone. It's unlocked,

753
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: but you do put a SIM card in there. I

754
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: think the other phone that I mentioned was a T

755
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: Mobile flip phone and it was from Alcatel and I

756
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: think let's see, was it the Flip three And this

757
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: was a really good little phone. Two. Yeah, go Flip

758
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: three from Alcatel on T Mobile and it's four bucks

759
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: a month. The full price is one hundred dollars. And

760
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: this is a flip phone. It's simple. Yes, it has

761
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: a camera, but it's got nice This is so funny.

762
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: The website does not show it when it's open. I mean,

763
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: that's kind of U T mobile. Come on, you gotta

764
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: show the buttons and the screen. They don't show it.

765
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: That's so weird. But if you google it, I'm sure

766
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: you can find it. But the cool thing about this

767
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: phone is that it also has Google Assistant built in,

768
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: which is really interesting. So if you want, you can

769
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: ask Google questions, which you know, maybe your mom would

770
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: get a kick out of. But this phone is also

771
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: pretty simple because it's just a tiny screen, a little

772
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: screen and big keys. And I think that that's probably

773
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: a better way to go. That is a hundred bucks.

774
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: The other thing I would check out is go look

775
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: at the website called Jitterbug, and Jitterbug makes all of

776
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: the phones for seniors. They have nice, easy, big, big

777
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,240
Speaker 1: button phones like the Jitterbug Flip, which is a hundred

778
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: dollars and there's really nothing to it. It's just a

779
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: phone to make calls. So those are the three places

780
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: that I would look I think the light phone is

781
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: probably too expensive, although it's nice because you it's unlocked,

782
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: which means you don't have to have a plan with it.

783
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: The jitterbug, you're going to talk, you got to get

784
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: a plan for that. So the Jitterbug is one hundred dollars.

785
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: But let's see how much a plan is minimum two

786
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty minutes fifteen dollars a month. Then you

787
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: got to do your texts. So if you want to

788
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: do text which I don't think Grandma is going to

789
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: be doing or Mom's going to be doing, So you're

790
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: talking fifteen dollars a month for only two hundred and

791
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: fifty minutes. So if you want twenty five hundred minutes,

792
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: you're thirty dollars a month and then unlimited as forty.

793
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: So I personally like the idea of the a cheaper phone. Anyway,

794
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: you got to decide what you want to do. But

795
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: that's those are the phones that i'd recommend with your mom,

796
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: and I think they'll all be simple enough for her

797
00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: to use. All right. Next question comes from Sandra. I

798
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: really enjoy your segments on KTLA. Thank you, oh your

799
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: podcasts and your newsletters. If you haven't signed up for

800
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: my newsletter go to Rich on tech dot TV. I

801
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: usually send it out every other week, and it's kind

802
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: of like this podcast. It's all the stuff I think

803
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: you should know. The information that you share is always

804
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: timely and useful. Now to my question, I'm on a

805
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen MacBook Pro with Mojave operating system. I have

806
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: not upgraded to Catalina because I don't want to lose

807
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: Microsoft Word. I no longer have access to Word because

808
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: I am retired. The Word program is the twenty eleven

809
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: version I only do. I only use Word to do

810
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: word processing. I don't want to pay a monthly fee

811
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: to get it. Should I be using the latest operating system?

812
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: Is there another word processing program that I should be using?

813
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: Would my files and documents be accessible in another word

814
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: processing program? I hope you can help me, Sandy. Sandy,

815
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: I think you should be running the latest Mac operating system.

816
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: Why not? Your computer's still relatively new. I think it'll

817
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: handle Catalina. You don't need it, but for security reasons,

818
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: it's always a good idea to run the latest. When

819
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: it comes to Word, you might lose your compatibility. That's true.

820
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, because i'd have to upgrade on your

821
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: system and see what happens. But I don't think you

822
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: need Word anymore. Number One, you're using a program from

823
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: nine years ago. A lot has changed in nine years.

824
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: You can go to Google Docs and use it absolutely free,

825
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get all of the modern conveniences that

826
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: you may not even have in the Microsoft Word program

827
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 1: that you have there. So I would recommend just firing

828
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: up your computer and going to Google Docs, which is

829
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: let's see docs dot Google dot com, and as long

830
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: as you have a Google account, you can use that

831
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: totally free. I've been using it for I believe ten

832
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: years now, and I've had zero problems with Google Docs.

833
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: In fact, it just keeps getting better and better. And

834
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: I was one of those old holdouts. I thought, oh,

835
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: there's no way that Google could do something as good

836
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: as Microsoft, because that's a paid, expensive program. But they

837
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: kind of do and it works. Will your files and

838
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: documents be accessible, Yes, they will. You can upload them

839
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: into Google Drive and they will convert over to the

840
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: Google Docs and it'll be great. It'll be great, and

841
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: it'll be totally free. Good good question there. All right,

842
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: we're almost to the end of the show here, so

843
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: let's see here, what do I want to answer? I'll

844
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: do one more question, and let's do this one, because

845
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,959
Speaker 1: this one is a question that a lot of wrong.

846
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: That was the that's the touchstones. When I get phone

847
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: calls back on the show, we'll use that. But no,

848
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: this is what it is. It's typing, because you guys

849
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 1: are typing your questions to me. Alyssa says big fan. Here,

850
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: quick question. Can you point me to the right direction

851
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: for how to create more storage for myself as an

852
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: older iPhone seven s? Can you any tips you can

853
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: help provide? It would be awesome. I trust you, Lissa.

854
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: I think the number one thing you need to check

855
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: on your iPhone is your iCloud backups, and that is

856
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: by going into settings, that is tapping your name at

857
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: the top and then iCloud and then manage storage. And

858
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: when you look into manage storage, you'll notice that a

859
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: lot of your stuff is probably used up by two things,

860
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: photos and backups and also messages. So this is where

861
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: you want to go into your iCloud storage and delete

862
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: any backups. Now you said create more storage for yourself

863
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: on your phone, So this is just one aspect. A

864
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: lot of people confuse the two. It'll say we need

865
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 1: more storage, but it's talking about iCloud, or sometimes it's

866
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: on the phone. More often than not, it's really the

867
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: iCloud storage that's filling up that you need to empty.

868
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you both ways. So number one on

869
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: your phone with the iCloud go to where I said

870
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: and just kind of look up and see what's going on.

871
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: So for me, I've got fifty one gigs of photos

872
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: in photos. I don't need fifty one gigs of photos

873
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: on iCloud because guess what, I don't use iCloud for

874
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: my photos. So I can go in and disable and

875
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: delete that, no problem. I'm gonna get a big scary

876
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: screen that says delete photos and videos. Yes, I don't

877
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: need that. So that's number one. Then you've got iCloud drive.

878
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: See what you've got filling up that. For me, I've

879
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: got all kinds of stuff, not a lot of stuff,

880
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: but it's just enough random stuff that's taking up eight gigs.

881
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: Then I've got my backups, and after this question, I

882
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: actually went in and deleted some of my old backups.

883
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: But you want to see how many backups do you

884
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: have in there? And for me, I had a whole

885
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: bunch of lingering backups. So the only backups you need

886
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: in there are your current backups. So if you've ever

887
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: upgraded from a new iPhone, you probably have the old

888
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: iPhone backup in there and you don't need it, so

889
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: you can go ahead and delete that. Just be careful

890
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: with that, because I don't want you to delete backups

891
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: that you might need. The other thing you want to

892
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: do is go into the storage settings on your phone,

893
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: so general iph settings, General iPhone storage, and look up

894
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: what's taking up the storage on your phone and they'll

895
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: show you some recommendations. So for me, the recommendation is

896
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: the three things. Let's see. The things taking up the

897
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: biggest storage of my phone again are photos, podcasts. I

898
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: have forty five gigabytes of downloaded podcasts. Delete, Delete, delete,

899
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: and you can delete those by just swiping left on

900
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: the podcasts and it will delete the podcast that it

901
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 1: is downloaded to your phone. I don't need forty five

902
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: gigs of podcasts on my phone. Wow, that might be

903
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: taking up a lot on yours. Adobe Rush four gigs.

904
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: I can go in and delete some of stuff there.

905
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: And my photos. I have forty five gigs of photos

906
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 1: on my phone. I can delete some of my videos

907
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: and also the recently deleted and save some space there.

908
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: So those are just a few of the simple ways

909
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: to free up some storage on your iPhone. Believe me,

910
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: that is one of the trickiest ways that Apple gets

911
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: you to pay for more storage is your phone runs

912
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: out of storage or your eCloud. It's just a whole

913
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff you don't need that's sitting in there.

914
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: So good question, all good questions. Can you believe it?

915
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: That is going to do it for this episode of
