1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: No one is more excited for the new iPhone software

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: than Google. I'll explain an AI necklace that wants to

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: be your new best friend, and get ready to pay

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: for software upgrades to unlock new features on your car.

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on? I'm Rich

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 1: Demiro and this is Rich on Tech. This is the

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: show where I talk about the tech stuff I think

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place where I

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: answer your questions about technology. I believe that tech should

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: be interesting, useful, and fun. Let's open up those phone

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: lines at triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: Give me a call.

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: If you have a question about technology, you need some

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: help with something, You need an app recommendation, you need

16
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: a website, anything you can think of. I am here

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: for you. Email also an option. Just go to Rich

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: on Tech dot tv and hit contact guests. This week,

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a guy named Peter Moore.

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: He is a former gaming industry executive and he says

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch saved his life. He will explain then

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: later on in the show, we've got Ken Coleman, work expert.

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: He's gonna discuss AI's impact on the job industry and

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: how you can best prepare for the upcoming changes. Well,

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: thanks for tuning in once again. My name is Rich DeMuro.

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Glad to have you here. I wanted to talk this

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: week a little bit about air tags and Apple's network

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: versus Google's new network. So air tags came out a

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. These are little devices that help

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: you track your stuff. You can put them on your luggage,

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you can put them on your keys, you can put

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: them inside your wallet. But now Google has their own

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: network called the Find My Device Network. So Apples is

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: called the Find My Network. Google's is called the Find

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: My Device Network. Now they're very similar, but they do

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: have some differences. So they're both crowdsourced. Apple's network uses

37
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of nearby Apple devices to help you

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: find your stuff. So basically, when an air tag is

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: near an Apple device, it says, oh, I see that

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: air tag noted, we know its location, And when the

41
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: owner of that air tag tries to look it up,

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: it says, yeah, we remember, this thing's right over here,

43
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: and that's how you find it. So it's all anonymous,

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: it's all anonymous, it's all crowdsourced, but that's how it works.

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: So some people were asking when I presented this on TV,

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: they said, wait a second, like, how far away can

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: you be from these devices and still find them. There's

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: no built in GPS on these devices. It's all crowdsourced,

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: and it's pretty brilliant because there's so many Apple devices

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: in our world. Anytime one of these air tags or

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: accessories comes near one, the location is updated.

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: So that's how it works.

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: Now.

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: The Google network is very similar. It uses Bluetooth technology

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: and it uses over a billion Android devices to help

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: help you find your little tags. Now, the interesting thing

57
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: you need to know is that these two networks are

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: not interchangeable. So an air tag does not work with

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Google's network. Anything that works with Google's find My network

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: does not work with Apple's network, not yet.

61
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: Now.

62
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Maybe there will be some devices in the future that

63
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: work with both. That'd be a good idea, but right

64
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: now they are individual. So air tags were the first,

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: but there are many more. And when it comes to Google,

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: it's been kind of a rough start for that network

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: because it was delayed to begin with, and then the

68
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: devices that are coming out and the network are all

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: being delayed.

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: For some reason.

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: So a lot of these things were announced back in May,

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: and now we're looking at the end of August for

73
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: the ship date for a lot of these. But I

74
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: have tested some of them, and I'm going to go

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: over some of these different devices that I think you

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: should take a look at. The main thing to know

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: about these two networks is that they do work together

78
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: to identify unknown trackers near you, no matter what network

79
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: they're on. Let me give you an example. Let's say

80
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: you were an Android and your significant other had an

81
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: iPhone and let's say on their key tag they had

82
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: an air tag. So for after a couple of days,

83
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: your phone might say, hey, there's this and they're with

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: you all the time. It might say, hey, we've noticed

85
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: that this tracker is following you, and you might get

86
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: that alert on your Android phone because this air tag

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: is near you and traveling with you. I've seen that

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: happen with me and my wife before. It's kind of annoying,

89
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna There's got to be a

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: way to sort of set an allow list, which means

91
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: you can say, hey, this air tag is going to

92
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: be traveling with me a lot, please ignore that. I

93
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: don't need you to send me a notification every time

94
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: you see that. But this sort of unknown tracker alert

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: is obviously an addition to this network or both of

96
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: these networks because of stalking and you know people using

97
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: these to track people that don't realize it, so that

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: is built in as well. But how do you use

99
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: these networks? You basically put these little devices on on

100
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: your stuff, and then when you need to find them,

101
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: you open up the app on your phone. On a

102
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Apple it is the find my app. On Google, it's

103
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: the find my Device app, which you do have to download.

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: It's not pre installed on Android phones just yet. You

105
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: open it up and it will show you where your

106
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: little devices are, and then of course you can ring

107
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: make them make a sound. A lot of these things

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: have built in audio alerts, so you can say, okay,

109
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: ring my device and it will help you locate it

110
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: that way. Other times you can use what's called precision finding.

111
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: If you have a newer iPhone, it actually will lead

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: you right to the device as well. That's another way.

113
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: But there's you know the basics of these devices are

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: all the same. They use crowdsourcing to find them. The

115
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: battery life lasts about a year, sometimes two years. And

116
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: the main thing to know is that some of these

117
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: devices have a replaceable battery, which is great, some of

118
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: them have a rechargeable battery, which is even better, and

119
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: some of them do not have a user replaceable battery

120
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: at all. So these are all things to kind of

121
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: consider when you're looking for one of these devices. So

122
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: let me go over some of the devices and accessories

123
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: that I've tested out that I think are pretty cool.

124
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Number one the classic air tag. This has been around

125
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 1: for a couple of years now. People are very familiar

126
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: with them. It's a small device, you attach it to

127
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: your stuff and then you can find it using the

128
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: iPhone or another Apple device. Let's see what else about

129
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: the air tag. It's water resistant, you can replace the battery,

130
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: it lasts for about a year. You can engrave them

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: if you want put your initials on them. That is

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars. Probably best to get the four pack,

133
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: which is a better deal, and they often go on sale,

134
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: so I would not pay full price for these. These

135
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: are one of the few Apple products that regularly is discounted,

136
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: not through Apple, but typically through a third party retailer

137
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: like a best Buy or an Amazon so look for

138
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: them when they're on sale, buy the four pack, put

139
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: them on your stuff, your luggage, your keychain. And the

140
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: thing you need to know about the air tags. Apple

141
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: was very smart. Apple loves their accessories. So the air

142
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: tag does not come with a built in way to

143
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: attach it to anthing, So you have to either buy

144
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: a little holster for it or some sort of key

145
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: ring accessory and you can put it in there and

146
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: attach it to stuff. Now, if you want to put

147
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: one of these things on your kids or pet, they

148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: do make obviously a lot of pet callers and things

149
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: like that, but for kids, there's something called Taga moles.

150
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Taga moles from a company named Speck. They make a

151
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: lot of cases, and these are fun little characters. You

152
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: pop an air tag in and then they attached to

153
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: your child's backpack or sneakers. So Taga moles don't work

154
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: by themselves to track things, but you put an air

155
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: tag inside the Taga mole and you can put this

156
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: on your child's sneaker or their backpack. They're kind of

157
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: like fun little characters, animal characters, and a four pack

158
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: is thirty five dollars. Those are great for back to school. Again,

159
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: keep in mind, all this relies on crowdsourcing, so it's

160
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: not like you can track your child in real time

161
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: using these. It relies on someone's iPhone being nearby them

162
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: to help you find them, but chances are there's going

163
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: to be an iPhone nearby. I've been testing this wallet

164
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: called the Groove Smart Wallet. This is really really cool

165
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: and it's from a company called Groove Life, and it's

166
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: this Groove Smart Wallet Trace. It's one hundred and twenty

167
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: five dollars, so it is very expensive, but it's got

168
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: the built in tracker for Apple's fine My network, so

169
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to add any tracker to this. The

170
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: battery lasts for about two years. You've got RFID protection,

171
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: so your cards you're not gonna automatically pay for stuff

172
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: when you're in near a checkout counter. It's got a

173
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: clip for cash, which is really great. It holds about

174
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: six cards and I love how this thing works. I've

175
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: been using this for about six weeks now, maybe more

176
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: than that, and it's just fantastic. Comes with a ninety

177
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: four year warranty on the wallet, so if anything happens

178
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: to this thing, you can get a replacement, which is

179
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: really really cool. Again, that's the Groove Smart Wallet Trace

180
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: No mad. This is a great company to make a

181
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: lot of great accessories. They have a wireless tracker that

182
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: you can put in your own wallet. It's really thin,

183
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: it's about the thickness of about two credit cards. It's

184
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: compatible with apples find my Network. The battery on that

185
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: when lasts about five months. This is forty dollars and

186
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: you slip it into your current wallet so you can

187
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: track your wallet. And the neat thing about this is

188
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: that it's wirelessly rechargeable, so you can put it on

189
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: any chi charger and it will juice up. Okay, Now,

190
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Android side of things, if

191
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: you're on a Samsung, you can use what's called the

192
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: Galaxy Smart tag too. Now, the thing to know about

193
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: this is it has more features, but it's not compatible

194
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: with Google's Fine mye network. See how this gets confusing.

195
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: So Samsung's kind of doing their own thing. It uses

196
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: all the Samsung phones to find it and it's a

197
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: great little tracker, but you have to realize that it

198
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: is limited by the Samsung devices. The good news is

199
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Samsung devices out there, so you'll

200
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: probably be okay. Again with the smart tag, it's NFC enabled,

201
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: so someone else can tap it and they can see

202
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: the owner info. So you can set like your phone number,

203
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: your email address, and they can just see that. AirTag

204
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: has a similar feature as well. Samsung phones. You can

205
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: double press the button on this smart tag to find

206
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: your phone. So if your phone is lost, you can

207
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: just press the button on the device and it will

208
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: ring your phone. This is a thirty dollars device and

209
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: that's a great way to go as well. Now when

210
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: it comes to the Google devices for your Android, Chipolo

211
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: makes the device that I tested out.

212
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: They make two of them.

213
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: One is called the Point it has a built in

214
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: hole for your keyring. The other one's called the card Point.

215
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: This is one that's thin enough to put inside your wallet,

216
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: and they both function very similar to the air tags.

217
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: Battery life lasts up to two years. The price starts

218
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: at about twenty eight dollars, and again Chipolo makes them.

219
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: And then Motorola just came out with what's called the

220
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: Moto Tag. This looks just like an air tag. It's

221
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: expected to ship later in August. And the neat thing

222
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: about these Moto tags not only do they work with

223
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: the fine my network on the Android side. But they

224
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: also have the same kind of size and shape as

225
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: an air tag, which means all of those air tag

226
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: accessories that you use to hold them will also hold.

227
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: This Moto tag.

228
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: So that means there's a whole bunch of built in

229
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: accessories that work from day one. All right, if you

230
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: want more information on all of these tags, you can

231
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,839

246
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: for the recommendations. She handwrote the note and sent it

247
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: to me, so she still has great handwriting. I don't

248
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: know how that's possible, because the new generation, like I

249
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: can't write at all, Like my writing is so bad

250
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: that it's just like undecipherable.

251
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: And I'm not not even a doctor.

Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you for giving my call.

258
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 5: Basically, I'm shocking for your compact camera. And I've done

259
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 5: a little bit of a research and yea, so many

260
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 5: people out there. Good, we've used bad, We've used this one.

261
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: The focus doesn't work, you know, and it's kind of

262
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 5: driving me a little bit crazy. So you know what,

263
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 5: I decided, let me go ahead and talk to the expert.

264
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 5: So basically that's what I'm shopping for.

265
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: So you're looking for a point and shoot camera. What's

266
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: the reason for the point and shoot?

267
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 4: Just you know, like tike tick pictures, like parchical tits,

268
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 4: just you know, general, i'd tackle pictures.

269
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: And you don't you don't want to use your smartphone.

270
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 4: No, I prefer because the line of work ime in.

271
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 4: You know, I don't want to sometimes you know, evidence

272
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. I don't want to use my

273
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: personal form because they could be subina and then you know,

274
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: see it's your girlfriend. Oyay, I come you guys hanging

275
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 4: out over there. You know, so I want something kind

276
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: of a separate from that.

277
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: Okay, what what line of work are you in? Okay,

278
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: got it. You don't want you don't want to mix

279
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: the the the work and the play, got it exactly.

280
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

281
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: Well, so it's been a while since I've used a

282
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: point and shoot because most of the people I know

283
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: have switched over to UH to UH, the smartphone taking

284
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 1: over everything. In fact, the last holdout, one of the

285
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: last holdouts was my father in law. He's a big,

286
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: big camera guy, and he was going to like Europe

287
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: or something a couple of years ago, and like, why

288
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: why even taking your big camera, Just take your take

289
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: your smartphone. You've got an iPhone, it'll be great, And

290
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: he did it. It took a lot for him to

291
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: not take his phone. So a couple places to look

292
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: for the recommendations that you're looking for. The website's DP review.

293
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: That's a very popular photography website. This was actually gonna

294
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: shut down. Amazon took them over, and then another company

295
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: actually bought them and kept them going. So they've got

296
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: you can go into their reviews for their cameras and

297
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: you can order by rating. So that's what I would

298
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: do number one, and so you can see like this,

299
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: this nkon Z eight is like their number one camera. Now,

300
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: the problem with that camera is that it is very

301
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: expensive and you probably don't want that one. It's way

302
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: more than you need. So I think you're gonna have

303
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: to go through this list and see which one of

304
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: these phones, or which one of these phones, which one

305
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: of these these cameras fit your budget. And I think

306
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: that's a big part of the process heres is finding

307
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: one that fits your budget. Do you want to get

308
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: lenses on these things or do you just literally want

309
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: like a point and shoot camera. So that's the second

310
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: place to look, or the first place to look. Second

311
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: place I would look Wirecutter obviously recommend them a lot.

312
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: They've got their top five point and shoot cameras. This

313
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: was updated in May, and so their top pick is

314
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: a camera that a lot of folks like, the Sony

315
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: RX one hundred. They're up to the five six seventh

316
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: generation of that. That's the one that I That was

317
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: probably the last point in shoot camera that I used,

318
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: and I think I used the original version of it,

319
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: so that was many many years ago, probably seven years

320
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: ago at this point.

321
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: That is a thirteen dollars camera.

322
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: Then they've got the Panasonic Lumix and this is a

323
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars camera, looks like you it may come

324
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: with a lens. I'm not sure on that one. They've

325
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: got a Rico on their list, which is really good.

326
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: And then a Fujifilm. Now the Fujifilm. I'll tell you,

327
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: everyone's been going nuts over this new Fujifilm camera and

328
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: it's the the X one hundred and six. It looks

329
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: like and the YouTubers and the vloggers and everyone just

330
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: seems to love this camera. So that that might be

331
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: the first place. But I've heard it's tough to get too,

332
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: so that might be a tricky one to get. But

333
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: that's those are the two places I would look, and

334
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I would cross reference to reviews there. You can also

335
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: look on Amazon at the top selling cameras there as well.

336
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: And when it comes to features, I mean, obviously any

337
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: of these are going to be fine for a point

338
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: and shoot. I think it really comes down to how

339
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: much do you want to pay? That is the most

340
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: important part of the equation. Are you really looking to

341
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: get something that's over one thousand dollars with different lenses

342
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: and things like that, because once you start getting into that,

343
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: that is like professional photography versus just what you said originally,

344
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: point and shoot. So thanks for the question, James in Pomona.

361
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: space on your iPhone and Android fast. Welcome back to

362
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here, I'll be honest. Guest mom,

363
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: guest DJ's mom today. And I did not know this.

364
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: I've heard this song obviously it's familiar, but I didn't

365
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: know Chris Norman and Susie Quatro nineteen seventy eight rock duet.

366
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: This became an international hit. It's a good song, stumbling

367
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: in thanks mom.

368
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 2: All right.

369
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: So I got a seemingly simple question this week from

370
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: someone at my work who said, hey, Rich, I just

371
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: need to free up space on my iPhone. Should I

372
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: get a new phone? I said, no, you shouldn't get

373
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: a new phone, just free up the space. Or he

374
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: said he's out of space. Should I get a new phone?

375
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: I said, no, just free up the space. How oh,

376
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: let me think about that, because there are apps that

377
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: can do this, but they're not very straightforward.

378
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: A lot of them are. You know, you got to

379
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: pay money.

380
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: So I wanted to find a free solution. So I said,

381
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: give me a couple of minutes, let me go check

382
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: out my phone and let me come back to you.

383
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: And so here's what I found.

384
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: If you want to free up storage very fast on

385
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: your iPhone, the best way to do it is to

386
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: delete a couple of large video files taking up space

387
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: on your phone. So how do you find those files

388
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: on iPhone? You can't just sort by largest video file,

389
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: which would make a lot of sense, right, No, Apple

390
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: doesn't let you do that. So how do you find

391
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 1: the largest video files? You go into Settings, then you

392
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: go into General, then you go into iPhone Storage and

393
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: then you tap photos and then in there it will

394
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: tell you how much your photos are taking up and

395
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: it will say something at the bottom a suggestion that

396
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: says review your videos, and you tap that and it

397
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: will show you the largest files on your system. So

398
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: delete a couple of the big files that you don't need,

399
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: the large video files, and your space will be freed up.

400
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, because whatever's on your phone is also

401
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: sync to iCloud. If you delete one of those large

402
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: video files, it will also be deleted from iCloud. So

403
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: only delete a file that you no longer need, or

404
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: if it's backed up somewhere else, like in my instance,

405
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: everything's backed up to Google Photos, so that's fine. So

406
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: it's a little tricky to find, but I will put

407
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: the instructions on the website, Rich on tech dot tv.

408
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: And here's the thing.

409
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: It's just it's more, it's more work than you would

410
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: think to do this, and it's easy once it's there.

411
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: Some people told me that this review, your videos option

412
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: is not in that area. So I think if that

413
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: is not there, you don't have enough big videos on

414
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: your phone to free up in Apple's not sure triggering

415
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: that little suggestion, and so.

416
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: The video situation is really easy.

417
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: So do this before you have like a big event,

418
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: like I've been to countless kids plays and performances and

419
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: recitals and whatever where I'm seeing parents and that message

420
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: on their phone in front of me literally says you're

421
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: out of space on your iPhone. Don't let that happen

422
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: to you before you go to one of these events.

423
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: Free up a couple of gigabytes by deleting a large

424
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: video or two. Now you might be saying, Rich, what

425
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: about Android. It's much easier on Android, much much easier

426
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: on Android. So on the Samsung devices, and actually this

427
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: is for any any device that's on Android. All you

428
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: have to do is download the Google I know. I said,

429
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: I want to do this without an extra app, but

430
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: Google makes it so easy with this files app.

431
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: So if you download the Google Files app, it's free.

432
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: You'll just see as soon as you download it and

433
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: open it up, it says all your categories downloads, images, videos, audio,

434
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: documents apps go into videos, and then you can just

435
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: sort by there. It is largest first, so largest video first.

436
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: I've got a video here that's one point five to

437
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: seven gigabytes. It even shows me how big the gigabytes

438
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: are on my device. I can tap that video and

439
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: then I can go ahead and move to trash and

440
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: it is going to be gone now. Again, android's a

441
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: little bit different than the iPhone, so if you're using

442
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: something like Google Photos, even if you delete that source

443
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: file off your phone, it's still going to stay inside

444
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: Google Photos, which is I kind of like that about

445
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Google Photos, but just an easy way to do that.

446
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: If you have a Samsung you don't want to delete,

447
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: if you don't want to download anything extra, you can

448
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: actually use the My Files app to do the same thing.

449
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: It's a little a little bit less straightforward, but it's

450
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: pretty much the same thing. You open up the My

451
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Files app, you tap videos, and then there's a little

452
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: in the upper right hand corner. You can sort by

453
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: size and then just make the arrow so that it's

454
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: pointing down so the largest file will be at the top.

455
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: What I like about Google Files versus the Samsung files

456
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: is that Google Files shows you how big that file

457
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: is right on the thumbnail, so you can get an

458
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: idea of just how big that file is when you

459
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: delete it.

460
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: Again.

461
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: These instructions on the website. Rich on tech dot TV.

462
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to Steven in Los Angeles. Steven, you're on

463
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: with Rich.

464
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: Hi.

465
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 6: Rich, this is a call regarding the test the vehicle,

466
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 6: since I know you've had a good experience with one

467
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 6: for over the years. I bought the new twenty four

468
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 6: Highland and I have to use the auto drive quite often.

469
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 6: Ninety percent of the time. It works very well, but

470
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: some minor errors could sometimes occur, and I want to

471
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 6: know if you ever know a way to correct those errors.

472
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a great question.

473
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: I've been because I've been using these self driving like

474
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: almost exclusively now for like ninety percent of my driving.

475
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: But it does make errors. It does make errors, and

476
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: especially and this is something I've noticed. I'm not sure

477
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: if you have, but on one of my drives that

478
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: I do very often. It wants to take an exit

479
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: that I would not take for that drive, Like it

480
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: wants to exit let's say two exits before the street

481
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: that I would take, and I have not figured out

482
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: a way to program it and say, please do not

483
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: take this exit, take this exit. And you would think

484
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: after driving it every day, it would learn from your

485
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: pattern of like turning off the autopilot and then taking

486
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: that exit. But it doesn't seem to learn from that.

487
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: So I think at this point, the only thing that

488
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: you can do.

489
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've.

490
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: Noticed, but if you take it out of autopilot, it

491
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: will give you a message that says, hey, we just

492
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: noticed you took your car out of autopilot. Do you

493
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: want to send us a message to our engineers to

494
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: tell us why. And I think that's your opportunity to say, hey,

495
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: this car tried to drive on a left, tried to

496
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: make a left in front of traffic that was coming

497
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: at me, Like, hey, fix that.

498
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: But that's the only thing that I've seen.

499
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: There's no real way to like kind of manually change

500
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: the way the car noticed.

501
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 6: That kind of message. But yesterday, on a next to

502
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 6: a cyber truck. It got so scared of it. It

503
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 6: started onking and beeping and stuff, and it was just

504
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 6: I don't know what happened, but I rely on it

505
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 6: in ninety percent of the time. As I said, it's

506
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 6: it's very good, especially on a freeways. Oh yeah, changes

507
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 6: and yeah, that's incredible.

508
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's gotten a lot, it's gotten a lot better.

509
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, when I'm next to a cyber truck,

510
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: I'm just as scared.

511
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

512
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: I mean, those things are imposing, they're big, They've got

513
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: that big light in front, and you know that's a

514
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: statement car. If you're driving the cyber truck, you are

515
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: making a statement in this world, and more power to you.

516
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: But I will say I think that you know, I

517
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: did my kind of a review of the self driving

518
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: on the Tesla when it first came out, and I

519
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: kind of knocked it and I said it was horrible.

520
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: And now I will take that back, and I will say,

521
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: I think ninety five percent of the time it is incredible.

522
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of the stress off of driving,

523
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: especially in a city like Los Angeles where it's like

524
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of stop and go, and even on like

525
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: city streets and side streets. It does a good job.

526
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: It's not perfect, but I think that the momentum we're

527
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: seeing with the progression of this technology is really good,

528
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: and they keep coming out with software updates to make

529
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: it better.

530
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 6: So yeah, those updates, I've noticed that they're incredibly useful

531
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 6: and they do make a difference. And one question I

532
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 6: have do you normally sit your speed at speed limit

533
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 6: of the streets in the highways or do you go

534
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 6: more or less? Or how do you manage yours?

535
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, I usually so, I'm actually a very kind

536
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: of slow, methodical driver, and so I kind of like that.

537
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: If anything, I might set it to go a couple

538
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: miles over the speed limit. But I've also noticed, I

539
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen this, but the Tesla will

540
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: automatically speed up based on the flow of traffic. So

541
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: if you're in an area where people are going a

542
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: lot faster than the typical they will also it will

543
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: also notice that and speed up. So okay, but look,

544
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: you know my advice to you, Steven, how long have

545
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: you had the car since April?

546
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 6: Believe it or not. I was waiting for the twenty

547
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 6: fourth to come out and new body and all that.

548
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's nice. How do you like the shifting,

549
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: because I know they took away the stalk.

550
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 6: You you get used to it, and it's just a

551
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 6: matter of getting used to it, that's all. And initially

552
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 6: it was like where's my gears?

553
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've got the old version, so I'm not

554
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm not up for a new one

555
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: anytime soon, so I'm sticking with the old waiting for

556
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: that model why Refresh to come out, and that will

557
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: be probably next year sometime and maybe.

558
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll take a look at that. Steven, thanks for

559
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: the call today.

560
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 6: Thank you appreciate it.

561
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: Enjoy I always think that the Teslas, and I'm not

562
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they haven't figured this out, but I feel

563
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: like they should talk to each other. Since they're kind

564
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: of like the main self driving cars on the road

565
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: right now, they should have some sort of like communication.

566
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: Like that cyber truck that was getting near or too

567
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 1: close to Steven's Tesla. It'd be cool if the if

568
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: his Tesla can kind of send a message saying, hey,

569
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: get back in your lane or whatever. But maybe that

570
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: car wasn't on autopilot. Great question today, eighty to eight

575
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: software for the iPhone is coming out in September. And

576
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: guess who's the most excited about it. It is Google.

577
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: I'll explain why coming up right here on rich on Tech.

578
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

579
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: out with you at Triple eight rich one O one

581
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: If you have a question about technology, give me a

582
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: call eight eight eight rich one oh one.

583
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: The website rich on Tech dot TV.

584
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: We were talking about cars just before the break, and

585
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: Ford is doing something interesting which we've seen before, but

586
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see this more and more

587
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: with the new Mustang mock E. This is their electric car.

588
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: You can get an extra one hundred pound don't know

589
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: how you say that, one hundred pound feet of torque

590
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: for an extra thousand bucks. So this is a software

591
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: upgrade that unlocks more performance on your car. How wild

592
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: is that? So the car can apparently do this, but

593
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: it's just software locked, so the upgrade reduces the zero

594
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: to sixty times from three point eight seconds to three

595
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: point three seconds. And the upgrade can be just purchased,

596
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: you know, when you're buying the car or through the app.

597
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: But this is this is becoming more and more common

598
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: that cars are. They have features that are there, the

599
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: hardware there, you just have to pay to unlock it.

600
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: So for a thousand bucks you can make your Mustang

601
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: Machi EV even faster.

602
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: That's pretty wild.

603
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: I know on the Tesla you can upgrade a couple

604
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: things like obviously the self driving but that's not a

605
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: performance based thing, but things like heated seats, and I

606
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: remember BMW had that as well. And I think that

607
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: this is just going to be something we see more

608
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: and more because they want to make a car with

609
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: all these features, but they want everyone wants these subscriptions,

610
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: and they want the add ons and they want the unlocks.

611
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: So we're going to see that more and more.

612
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: Mentioned that the new software for the iPhones coming out

613
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: in September iOS eighteen, and who do you think is

614
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: most excited for this?

615
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: It's actually Google.

616
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: They put out an ad this week, a video saying

617
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: we can't wait for ourcs RCS support coming to the

618
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: new iPhone, well the iPhone software. So what does that mean.

619
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: RCS is rich Communication Service and that means that the

620
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: iPhone and the Android messaging is finally going to be

621
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: a level playing field.

622
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: So when you text someone.

623
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: From an Android or an iPhone or vice versa, you

624
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: can text high resolution photos and videos.

625
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: They will no longer look like a postage stamp.

626
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: Improved group chat so you can add people, people can

627
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: leave the group chats whether they're on Android or iPhone.

628
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: That's a huge deal.

629
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: Then there's also read receipts and typing indicators, so when

630
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: your friend is on Android or iPhone or vice versa,

631
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: you'll be able to see when they're typing and when

632
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: they've read stuff. This is a huge deal. Beta users

633
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: already have access. I have tried this out. It is great,

634
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: and the message bubble on Android is still going to

635
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: be green if you're looking at it on an iPhone.

636
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: But you know what, I think this is a huge

637
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: win for the Android side of things, and I think

638
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: that's why Google's so excited, because Apple was holding this back,

639
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: and they held it back for a reason. The reason

640
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: is that it makes androids seem oh, they're not as

641
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: bad as we thought they are. So I think think

642
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: by having people be able to message each other in

643
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: this same way, it will finally take that stigma away

644
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: from the Android side of things. Now, I will tell you,

645
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: when it comes to young folks, they still are all

646
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: about the iPhone and it's all because of the messaging,

647
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: the group chats, the blue bubble. Apple has really doubled

648
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: down on this, like you have to be in it

649
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: to win it, with the I message situation, and it's

650
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: something that I really fault them for because I think

651
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: that technology should be should create a level playing field

652
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: and technology, the best technology works across various brands and manufacturers,

653
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: and Apple has continually built this ecosystem up of their

654
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: own stuff, and so it's kind of it's everything benefits Apple.

655
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: And if you look at the other things in the

656
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: world that you know, especially Android and Windows and all

657
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: that stuff, it's you know, there's various manufacturers making stuff,

658
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: and Apple some of the reason why their stuff works

659
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: so well is because they control it all from start

660
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: to finish, from the software to the hardware. But again

661
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: they kind of control that methodology of hey, you got

662
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: to have everything.

663
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: Apple you got to have everything.

664
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: iPhone got to have, you know, the AirPods and the

665
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: iPhone and the Apple Watch and the iPad for it

666
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: to all work perfectly. Whereas if you're on an Android

667
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: you can choose. You can pick and choose from a

668
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: bunch of different manufacturers. You may have headphones from one company,

669
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: you may have a smart watch from another company. You

670
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: may have a tablet from another company, and your phone

671
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: from Google, Samsung or someone else. So anyway, that's exciting.

672
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: I think for the messaging side of things, that's going

673
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: to be really great. Let's go to Robert in Michigan.

674
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: Robert in Michigan, you're on.

675
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 7: With Rich Rich on Tech.

676
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome to the show.

677
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 7: I saw my eyesight five years ago and I bought

678
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 7: an iPhone success us voiceover and it's worked really good,

679
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 7: no problems, except for when you get to a website

680
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 7: doesn't navigate real well, I don't have anybody here to

681
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 7: help show me you know what am I missing? But

682
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 7: here's my beast who's going to use voiceover but a

683
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 7: blind person. So what happens is things pop up on

684
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 7: the screen, you touch it, and then it shuts off.

685
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 7: So what does a blind guy do with a phone

686
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 7: that he doesn't talk anymore. I mean you would think

687
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 7: an engineer would say, well, if you're going to put

688
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 7: on voiceover, don't let these things pop up and you

689
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 7: touch it and it goes off.

690
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 3: What do you mean pop up?

691
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that pop up? Like like

692
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: a website pop up or something on the phone?

693
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 7: No, like things like you know, like things to help

694
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 7: you navigate the phone. And you know, they got things

695
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 7: like the screen curtain and if you don't know the

696
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 7: little trick to get it back on, you know, stuff

697
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 7: like that. Well, personally, once you put voiceover, who's going

698
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 7: to use voiceover? And unless they're blind, I mean, I'm

699
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 7: sure there might be another use. But so once that

700
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 7: voiceover is on, they should just put a little line

701
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 7: in there says once this is on, other things might

702
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 7: not work or shouldn't work, because you're like sitting in

703
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 7: dead the water. If you touch something in your home

704
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 7: alone and your voiceover shuts off, and I've had it happen,

705
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 7: it's you know, it's so that's the only beat. But

706
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 7: otherwise it works really good.

707
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 3: And has it got personal?

708
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: Has it gotten better in the time you've used it?

709
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: You said you've had this. How many years have been

710
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: have you been using it?

711
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 8: Oh?

712
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 7: I've been using it for five years?

713
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: Oh wow? And has it gotten better over the years

714
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: or has it kind of stayed the same.

715
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 7: Well, it's happened like maybe three times over the year,

716
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 7: three or four times. But it's not like it's a

717
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 7: big deal. But when you can't see and this is

718
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 7: your holding phone and it shuts it off, you know,

719
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, You're like, what do you

720
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 7: do if you touch it and nothing? You know, the

721
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 7: only way you know how to use it? And if

722
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 7: you touch it and it tells.

723
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: You, and so what do you do in that situation?

724
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 7: I wait, somebody comes over, push it, try to you know,

725
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 7: if you Usually I gotta wait till someone comes over

726
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 7: and so they can see the screen and push the

727
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 7: right button and turn voiceover back on. I've asked. I've

728
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 7: asked Theiri a number of times. Can you turn voiceover on?

729
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 7: I can't do that. But then again, I've I've tried

730
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 7: to send some funny emails, you know, a little joke,

731
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 7: and she'll come back and say that's not very nice.

732
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 9: Yes, well I'm making a joke.

733
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: Hey, no judging me, Siri. If I want to send

734
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: a joke. I want to send a joke.

735
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 7: But well, listen, I was at a store.

736
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 10: I called in AI.

737
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 7: I'm going round and round. So when I finally got

738
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 7: to somebody, I said, hey, just whoever is concerned? AI.

739
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 7: You know what, I don't like it. I mean, it's good, God,

740
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 7: it's places, it's wonderful, but you're going round and round

741
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 7: and I want to just talk to somebody. You're asking

742
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 7: the questions and it's coming up. Yeah, asked K you No,

743
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 7: I don't want to ask K. I just need that

744
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 7: the guy you have this and time. But anyway, I

745
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 7: don't want to complain. I'm I'm actually a luddite. I

746
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 7: got rid of Wi Fi and all that when I

747
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 7: lost my eyes. I don't know if it's psychological.

748
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not on the computer, aid hob I gotta

00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch saved his life. It is a wild story.

Speaker 1: And uh, after you hear it, you might want to

770

Speaker 1: mother rocks stumbling in. I haven't heard that one for

771
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: a long time. Hire her, thank you, Brian. I don't

772
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: think we have the budget to hire her, but if

773
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: we did, yes, she'd be hired. Mark says the cyber

774
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: truck has no autopilot or full self driving just yet,

775
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: supposedly pending a software update.

776
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's interesting. Didn't realize that.

777
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: And let's see here, and let's see Steve says, in

778
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: response to the caller, who was losing speech on his

779
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: iPhone and no way to turn voiceover back on. I

780
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to mention that Android has a way to

781
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: do this on Android phones, go into accessibility and enable

782
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: the shortcut to turn on or off talkback. I have

783
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 1: mindset to toggle this when I hold down both volume keys,

784
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: so talkback is kind of like the Android version of

785
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: the voiceover feature on the iPhone. It is really incredible

786
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: the amount of effort to these companies put into accessibility

787
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: features on the iPhone and Android. If you go into

788
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: that section of the phone, there are so many helpful features,

789
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: no matter what you know is going on with you,

790
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: whether it's a physical disability or I don't think they

791
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: have it for mental disabilities just yet, but maybe that's

792
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: coming in the future we may need that. But anyway,

793
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: thanks for the email. Steven in Durham, North Carolina. Appreciate that,

794
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: all right. The hidden cost of cell phone plans people

795
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: are spending. Americans are overspending by fifteen hundred dollars annually.

796
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: New survey from whistleout dot com, this website that helps

797
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: you kind of compare the different carrier plans. They said

798
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: the average American spends one hundred and fifty seven dollars

799
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: a month on a plan from a major carrier. But

800
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: if you have an mv and O plan one of

801
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: those mobile virtual network operators, those cost around thirty dollars

802
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 1: a month on average, so the average person could save

803
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: about fifteen hundred dollars a year by switching. But fifty

804
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: three percent of consumer have a cell phone plan through

805
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: one of the big three Verizon, T Mobile or AT

806
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: and T. Forty seven percent are now on an MV

807
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: and O. Seventy six percent of consumers have an unlimited

808
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: phone plan, but sixty three percent of people use less

809
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: than fifteen gigabytes of data per month, and a majority

810
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: of people with unlimited data plans are on Wi Fi

811
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: most of the time. So when you hear all this,

812
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: you would say, well, why don't people switch? Why don't

813
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: they switch to a smaller cell phone carrier? Brand loyalty? Okay,

814
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what do these companies do for you except

815
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: raise your bill?

816
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: Nothing.

817
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Americans are overspending by two hundred and eleven billion dollars

818
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: every year, and they take it out over a lifetime.

819
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: If you switch to one of these MV and o's

820
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: eighty five thousand dollars you'd save over your lifetime. So

821
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: here's the deal. What's the deal with these mv and os?

822
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: People always ask like, should I switch to one? The

823
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: main ones that come to mind are Visible that's owned

824
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: by Verizon, Mint Mobile that.

825
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: Was owned by Ryan Reynolds.

826
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: Now it's owned by T Mobile, AT and T owns Cricket,

827
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: And there's a whole bunch of other ones out there.

828
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: So why would you switch? I think you should.

829
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: If you have a bill that is very expensive and

830
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to spend that much, go with one

831
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: of these mv and o's. The coverage is the same.

832
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: It's it's Verizon, it's they all ride on one of

833
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: these big networks, whether it's Verizon, T Mobile, or AT

834
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: and T. And if you're curious which one they work on,

835
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: just google it and just say, like, you know, what

836
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: what network is Visible on? What network is Mint Mobile on?

837
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: What network is Cricket on? What network is Mobile Xon?

838
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: And they will they will reveal that usually in Wikipedia.

839
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: I did this for my wife. I switched her to

840
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: one of the mv and o's a couple months ago.

841
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: It took exactly twenty minutes, saved us about forty five

842
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: dollars a month on her bill. The coverage is pretty

843
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: much the same, no complaints. And the main thing to

844
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: know about these plans is that not all of the

845
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: mv and o's support a smart watch. So if you

846
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: have a smart watch with a data connection, like a

847
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: cellular Apple Watch or an LTE Android Watch, a lot

848
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: of the mv and os do not support that, so

849
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: you have to be careful if you're switching. Oh wait,

850
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: my Apple Watch isn't gonna have cellular anymore, no, so

851
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: check that before. The other thing you don't get is

852
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: you don't get some of these perks like the Netflix,

853
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, and all these different things like the music,

854
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: free music, whatever. But I think the savings are worth it.

855
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: So if you're considering a switch, I say go for it.

856
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: You can always switch back. It's very easy. They make

857
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: it a little scary because you have to figure out

858
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: you know your your pin number for your account, you

859
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: have to enter your information if you want to pour

860
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: it over your phone number. But it literally took me

861
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: twenty minutes my wife's phone number. It went from one

862
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: carrier to the other carrier within twenty minutes, and we

863
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: saved forty five dollars a month. The other thing that's

864
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: interesting is a lot of these carriers that are the

865
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: smaller mv and os, they'll let you pay by credit card,

866
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: whereas all these like main carriers, the T Mobiles, the Verizons,

867
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 1: the AT and T's, they're all pushing people to pay

868
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: through their checking accounts. And the reason I don't like

869
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: that is because their bills can can fluctuate. You get

870
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: a big roaming charge. Next thing you know, your bill

871
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: could be more. And with the with the mv and

872
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: O is there's really no there's really no surprise charges

873
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: with them because it's it's kind of an all on

874
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: one thing. So there you go. Just got another email

875
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: from Nancy. Nancy says, I love Mom's music too. Wow,

876
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: I guess Bobo, we got to hire Mom. Let's go too.

877
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: Do we have time to take a call. Let's see, Yeah,

878
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: I think we do. Let's go to Carmen Carmen in

879
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: Los Angeles.

880
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 2: Carmen, you're all with Rich. Welcome to the show.

881
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 8: Hi, thank you. I have a problem with Google. I

882
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 8: have a pham where I don't use it with the

883
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 8: service I'm only using to work on docs and emails.

884
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 8: But now I'm being blocking from Google because I have

885
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 8: no manor storage. I kept throwing away videos, pictures, and

886
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 8: a lot of gmails, but I still don't have a space.

887
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 8: They are saying that I should buy it or empty.

888
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 8: But if I'm being empty and empty and empty and

889
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 8: I don't and I still don't get it, do I

890
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 8: have a nail? The option? How to do dogs on

891
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 8: my phone without Google? Or without how to pay Google?

892
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: What kind of phone do you have?

893
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've got your your Google comes with fifteen

894
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: gigabytes of free storage, and you're saying that's completely filled up. Okay,

895
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Well this is their plan. By the way, I mean,

896
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: why do you think they give free Gmail, free Google Photos,

897
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: free Google Docs. The whole idea is to get you

898
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: to put all your stuff inside their cloud storage. They

899
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: know one day that cloud storage is gonna, you know,

900
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: be full, and now they say, oh, for two more

901
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: bucks a month, you can now have one hundred gigs

902
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: versus fifteen.

903
00:43:58,920 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 2: So that's the plan.

904
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: Many people, you know, they don't mind paying because they

905
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: have all their stuff in there. But once you're invested

906
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: in these cloud storage you know you want to stick

907
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: with them for a long time. And that's what Google knows.

908
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: So you said you cleared out some files and things.

909
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: Have you gone to the website one dot Google dot com. Okay,

910
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: that's where I want you to go, So tell me okay,

911
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: O n E dot Google dot com.

912
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: Okay. And so when you.

913
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: Go there, it will show you on that page how

914
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: much storage you're using. So, for instance, I'm using sixty

915
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: four sixty four percent of my five terabytes that I

916
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: pay for, so that's a lot. And so I'm at

917
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: sixty four percent, and then it says clean up space,

918
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: and it says to me, I've got five hundred and

919
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: fifty five gigabytes that I can clean up. So you

920
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: tap that and it will show you all of the breakdown.

921
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: So I can see that I've got three terabytes in

922
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: Google Photos, I've got one hundred and fifty gigabytes in

923
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: Google will Drive, I've got forty gigabytes of Gmail, I've

924
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: got a nine hundred and fifty two megabytes in recorder,

925
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: and then my family's using some stuff as well. So

926
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: once you go into there, you can clean up by service,

927
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: So you can clean up by Google Photos, Google Drive,

928
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: and Gmail. So for instance, if I tap Gmail, it

929
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: will show me all of my emails with the biggest attachments,

930
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,479
Speaker 1: and I can just in one fell swoop select those

931
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: all and get rid of them. And then you can

932
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: also empty your trash, because sometimes this trash does take

933
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: up the storage on your depends on the cloud service.

934
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes it will take up storage, sometimes it will not.

935
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: But in general you probably want to empty the trash

936
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: as well, because even though you've thrown this stuff away,

937
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: you can recover that space quickly by emptying the trash.

938
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: And so for me, it says I can empty my

939
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: trash in Gmail, I can empty some files that I

940
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: have in trash from my Google Docs, spam email I

941
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: can get rid of. But this is where you want

942
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: to go. You want to go to one dot Google

943
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: dot com. And I think everyone should do this because

944
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: it's a handy way of seeing like, oh wait a second,

945
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: I've got, you know, two terabytes or whatever. You have

946
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: one hundred gigabytes of stuff and trash, Like, let me

947
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: get rid of that. That's the way to do it, Carmen,

948
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: to reclaim some of that space. Fifteen gigabytes is not

949
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: all that much. Apple gives folks five. Google gives people fifteen.

950
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a place to sort of offload

951
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: some stuff. There are some ways to get some free

952
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: storage online. You can move some stuff to one Drive,

953
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: which is Microsoft's. They give you fifteen gigabytes for free.

954
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: So maybe you could take some of your files from

955
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: Google Drive, move them over to one Drive, and then

956
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: that way you can free up that space on Google.

957
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: I think Google Docs is fantastic. I use it, I

958
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: love it, and so I would consider I would still

959
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: recommend using that, but you do have to find a

960
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: way to get rid of some of those files that

961
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: you've got stored in there. If you don't want to

962
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: pay the next The next payment is two bucks a

963
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: month if you want to get I think it's one

964
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: hundred gigabytes, which you know, in the scheme of things,

965
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: is really not that bad for uh, for you know,

966
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: for using documents and all that stuff. Thanks for the call, Karmen,

967
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Good luck getting that all figured out. Eighty

Speaker 1: dot tv. Plus I'm gonna tell you how you can

972
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:33,959
Speaker 1: use chat GPT to digitize your handwritten notes. It's super fast,

973
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: it's super easy, it's super handy. You are listening to

974

Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

975
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,479
Speaker 1: Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology. The phone

976
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: line eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight

977
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one sha

978
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: bozi on your radio. That yes, that was selected by

979
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: my mom. My mom has. When I told her the

980
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: select the songs for the show, she goes, do they

981
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: have to be old songs? They said, no, select whatever

982
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: you like and she she's like, I really like.

983
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: This shaboozy song. Everyone does. I mean, what's not to like?

984
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 11: Right?

985
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: It's just amazing how sometimes these songs come out and

986
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: they just take over the world, like that one. And anyway,

987
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: thanks for the song. So I want to tell you

988
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned how chat gpt can digitize your notes.

989
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: This is pretty cool. This is what my mom used.

990
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: She wrote out all the songs for the show today

991
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: and I took a picture of them and I uploaded

992
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: it to chat gpt and it spit out the everything

993
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: perfectly written. And so here's how you can do it.

994
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: And you can probably use any any of the AI

995
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: tools to do this. But if you've got a handwritten note,

996
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: maybe a letter from back in the day or something

997
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: like that, or if you still have good handwriting, you

998
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: can just write a note, take a picture with your phone,

999
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: upload it to chat GPT or even claude dot AI

1000
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: and it will basically extract the text from that image

1001
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: and convert the handwriting to text. And it's very simple.

1002
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: It's very easy. If it doesn't do it without you asking,

1003
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: like you probably just all you have to do is

1004
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: upload the photo. But if it doesn't do it with

1005
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: just uploading, just say hey, can you please? Can you

1006
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: please extract the text from this image? And it will.

1007
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: Now I did that with the song. Then I said, hey,

1008
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: can you actually give me a line about each song?

1009
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 1: And so it did that very easily. I use Claude

1010
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: to do that, but chat GBT will do it as well.

1011
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: This was from zd net. Got to give Sabrina over

1012
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: at zd net the props for this little tip because

1013
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: she came up with it. But I thought that was

1014
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I mean, I can't write in my handwriting

1015
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: anymore because it just looks so horrible. But if you

1016
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: can and it still looks legible, yeah, you can use

1017
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: AI to transform it. Comment on the MV and O plans.

1018
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot let's see, I don't have a

1019
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: person's name here, but they said something else as important

1020
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: as international travel. Absolutely, I meant to mention that a

1021
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: lot of the MV and o's do not support international roaming.

1022
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: So again you're not going to get hit with these

1023
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: roaming bills. But at the same time, you may not

1024
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: be able to use that phone number to roam overseas.

1025
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: If they support the Wi Fi calling and texting, that

1026
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: might work.

1027
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 7: I know.

1028
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: Mint Mobile just added the international plans to their.

1029
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: Plans, so you can buy like International when you go

1030
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 1: out of the country. And they also said Visible supports

1031
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: Apple Watch. Yes, Visible is one that does support Apple Watch.

1032
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: Looks like we got another question. Gary and Laguna Niguel. Gary,

1033
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich We hell Rich.

1034
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 10: Oh, by the way, I noticed she still has some

1035
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 10: of the old Leo laporttunes. Also, that tune is great.

1036
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 10: I usually hear that right between eleven thirty and twelve

1037
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 10: thirty and always get some motivation going.

1038
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 2: Is that the which one is? That is that's going

1039
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: to break what we.

1040
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 7: Do?

1041
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 10: It's where he plays it. It's one of Leo's old

1042
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 10: old songs that he leads into his show when he

1043
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 10: would start at eleven o'clock on Saturday mornings.

1044
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: Okay, I think, yeah, I gotta listen now closely. Maybe

1045
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: I mostly focus on the intro and I gotta now,

1046
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: I gotta listen. Oh okay, Kim. Kim says, it's the

1047
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: network bumper music.

1048
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 2: Got it?

1049
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't get it. I may not hear

1050
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: it here, Okay, I do, Okay, got it?

1051
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 3: Gary?

1052
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 2: What can I help you with?

1053
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 10: Well, the question I asked you Rich is all the

1054
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 10: budget carriers that you hear advertising on talk radio and

1055
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 10: so on. They always seem that they have AT and

1056
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 10: T and T mobile service carriers, but Verison. I'd like

1057
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 10: to know which are the budget carriers carry Verison?

1058
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: Great question, and so yes, I would say a majority.

1059
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: I would say ninety percent of them run on T Mobile,

1060
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: maybe ten percent run on AT and T, and then

1061
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: Verizon has like a tiny percent, but it's growing. So

1062
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: number one Verizon owns Visible and they run on Verizon's network.

1063
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: The other one is red Pocket, which I've tested. They

1064
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: run on Verizon as well, and so you can get

1065
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: that US Mobile. They have an option for Verizon, but

1066
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: you have to kind of choose. They've got a choice

1067
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: of Verizon or I think it's might be AT and

1068
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: t Issue Mobile. But US Mobile is another one and

1069
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: they're kind of a smaller carrier that really they don't

1070
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: you don't hear much about them, but they are on there.

1071
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 1: And then I believe Spectrum and Exfinity are also on there.

1072
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: So those are kind of through your cable company and

1073
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: you have to have your cable obviously your Internet through them,

1074
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: but you get a good deal there. And then the

1075
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: latest one to use Verizon is Mobile X. We talked

1076
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 1: about them on the show a couple months ago. Mobile

1077
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: X uses Verizon's network. I have tested them and they

1078
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 1: are great. And then Verizon has another one called Total

1079
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: by Verizon, and this is their prepaid. So basically Verizon

1080
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: runs Total Wireless and also Visible Wireless, and Total Wireless

1081
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: is sort of a prepaid whereas Visible is like you know,

1082
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: you just jump on that plan. But yeah, great question,

1083
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of times if you go to that

1084
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: whistle out site that I mentioned, they can reveal which

1085
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: Envy and Zo is on which carrier network. But again

1086
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: there's only like really three networks. I think there's a

1087
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: fourth coming up from Dish Network, which I have not

1088
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: tested yet, but apparently they've built their own network in

1089
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 1: the US, so we're going to see a lot more

1090
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: advertising from Dish, I think, when that's ready to go

1091
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,959
Speaker 1: in a much bigger way than it is right now.

1092
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for the question, Gary, and I'm glad we figured

1093
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: out the music.

1094
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 2: You're right glad. We've got Kim here to tell us

1095
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: that stuff.

1096
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 4: All right.

1097
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're going to talk to a guy who

1098
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: says the Apple Watch has saved his life. He'll explain

1099
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: coming up right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back

Speaker 2: This is show number eighty three. All right.

1114
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: So recently I spoke with a guy named Peter Moore.

1115
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: This is a quite a successful business person. He's had

1116
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: big jobs at EA, Microsoft, Sega, and Rebok. He's here

1117
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: in California, and he told me the story of how

1118
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: his Apple Watch saved his life. And uh, you know what,

1119
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let him tell the story. Let's hear

1120
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: from Peter Moore.

1121
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 12: It's actually two weeks ago today. I was going to

1122
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 12: buy my business as normal. My eldest daughter, who works

1123
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 12: for Rea, was flying in for a couple of days.

1124
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 12: I was heading to Santa Barbara Airport. I felt a

1125
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 12: little light headed and a little faint, and like a

1126
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 12: typical mail I.

1127
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 3: Thought, I'll go to Starbucks.

1128
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 12: That'll fix it totally. And so I went on the

1129
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 12: way to Santa Barbara Airport and grabbed a latte. I

1130
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 12: sat in the cell phone parking lot. It still felt

1131
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 12: a little faint, but I thought it would pass. My

1132
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 12: phone started to ping and said low heart rate, which

1133
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 12: I've never seen before, and so I looked at it

1134
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 12: and then my heart rate had dropped to thirty two

1135
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,479
Speaker 12: and it was insistent in its notifications that something wasn't

1136
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 12: right with the linkage to your phone. I looked on

1137
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 12: the health app in my phone and I saw that

1138
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 12: my heart rate was vacillating at that time from thirty

1139
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 12: to one hundred and one, and so I had this

1140
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 12: bright red line.

1141
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 3: Going up and down.

1142
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 12: I thought this is probably not good, so swallowed my

1143
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 12: mail pride sent a photograph to my wife of the

1144
00:55:59,040 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 12: low heart rate.

1145
00:55:59,719 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 3: Note of it.

1146
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 12: She said, don't move, I'm coming right there, pick me up.

1147
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 12: I was in Santa Barbara Coottish Hospital. Within ten minutes,

1148
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 12: Triagnur sees me, looks at me, looks at my pulse,

1149
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 12: goes a little pale, which I didn't think was a

1150
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 12: good thing. The reaction not at all now and gets

1151
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 12: a wheelchair.

1152
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 3: Rich.

1153
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,439
Speaker 12: Within five minutes, I'm in the emergency room. Crash team

1154
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 12: descends on me, defibrillator pads, ivy blood samples EKG, and

1155
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 12: they're running the EKG and doctor kind of theoretically runs

1156
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 12: in and said, this is not good.

1157
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 3: This is not good.

1158
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 2: You need a.

1159
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 3: Pacemaker right now.

1160
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 12: You are in complete heart blockage, which is an electrical

1161
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 12: issue where the top part of the heart the atrier

1162
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 12: and the bottom heart ventricle aren't talking to each other anymore,

1163
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 12: and so what happens is your top part of the

1164
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 12: backup systems. I'm triggered and the atria is doing all

1165
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 12: the work, but the ventricles are doing nothing, and so

1166
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 12: my heartbeat. Then I'm on the monitors. I'm looking my heartbeat.

1167
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 12: Then is twenty four. Doctor comes in, looks at me,

1168
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 12: goes why are you still awake? Type thing, And their

1169
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 12: goal was to get me into the operating theater as

1170
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 12: the fast that they possibly could to install the pacemaker,

1171
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 12: and all they were waiting for was a bed postop recovery.

1172
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 12: Within two and a half hours, I was in the

1173
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 12: operating theater. I was awake, somewhat sedated, but fascinated by

1174
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 12: the process, surrounded by data screens and talking to the

1175
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 12: technician from Abbot Labs, who have this duel chamber pacemaker

1176
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 12: that I'm now the proud owner of, and he's pacing.

1177
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 12: In other words, he's in control of my heart. And

1178
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 12: what they're doing is setting the voltage levels, making sure

1179
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 12: the pacemaker is obviously working properly, and stitch me up

1180
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 12: and I'm out of there and spent the night in

1181
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 12: the wonderful Cottage Hospital. Dr Omid Yosefian was the surgeon

1182
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 12: who immediately came saw me, operated on me, and I

1183
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 12: think fundamentally saved my life. I think the real issue

1184
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 12: would have been if I left left it, I would

1185
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 12: have collapsed at some point. And my real fear was

1186
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 12: I'd be driving with my daughter on the one oh

1187
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 12: one freeway and that would have been disastrous. For the

1188
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 12: implications of that I can't even be to think of.

1189
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,439
Speaker 12: So finally I paid attention to the data that was there,

1190
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 12: and my male stubbornness was overcome by listening to the

1191
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 12: data and reading the data. And of course your wife

1192
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 12: will take over in these situations, and uh, you know,

1193
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 12: and the wonderful people, as I say, son Ababa Cottage

1194
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 12: Hospital had me from entry to with a working pacemaker

1195
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 12: within four and a half hours.

1196
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 3: Wow, you said you felt lightheaded.

1197
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, people feel different ways all throughout their life.

1198
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 3: Oh totally.

1199
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: But with that alert when you got it on your watch,

1200
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: was that the like hold on something is definitely not right.

1201
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

1202
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 12: I mean, you go, I mean every now and again,

1203
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 12: and even you you know, you stand up quickly, you

1204
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 12: go whoo for a second, and I in a typical male,

1205
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 12: stubborn pig headedness.

1206
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 8: Thought.

1207
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 3: You know, it'll go away, you know.

1208
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 12: And so if it hadn't a been for these notifications,

1209
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 12: I would have just tried to write it through. I

1210
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 12: had a lot going on and picking my daughter up

1211
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 12: on to be there for her, and again the consequences

1212
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 12: of that, as the doctor explained to me, he said,

1213
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 12: look at twenty four bpm, you're going to collapse.

1214
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 3: You're either going to collapse at the wheel.

1215
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 12: And again the implications of that and the ramifications of

1216
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 12: that horrific. Or we see a lot because it's a

1217
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 12: total collapse, people smash their head and so he said that,

1218
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 12: and then you're dealing with internal bleeding and all of

1219
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 12: those things. So fortunately you came in. We caught you

1220
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 12: whilst I was on the monitor. I flat lined twice

1221
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 12: in that thirty minutes. And again I'm thinking back connection right,

1222
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 12: you know, and my wife's looking it just went to

1223
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 12: zero and then the heart kicked in again.

1224
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 3: But here I am two weeks later. Fine, how do

1225
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 3: you feel now? I feel great?

1226
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know it's funny when you even the moment

1227
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 12: as we're insurging the device that then he brought my

1228
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 12: heart to sixty five bpm. They're calibrating the bpm. I

1229
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 12: felt better immediately that the blood was flowing as it

1230
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 12: should be again because it's an electrical issue. My plumbing

1231
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 12: is just fine. But the pacemaker is always on device

1232
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 12: for me because my electrical system has collapsed. So it's working.

1233
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 12: It keeps me alive all day I keep pointing here,

1234
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 12: that's where it is. But it keeps me alive all

1235
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 12: day long. And check in in a year. And the

1236
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 12: battery life maybe ten years. And the only thing I

1237
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 12: think I have to worry about is go get a

1238
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 12: new battery in ten years.

1239
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 3: So the watch. Do you have a new found respect

1240
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 3: for the Apple Watch?

1241
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 10: I do?

1242
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 4: I do.

1243
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 12: I mean, it's always been useful for me. You know,

1244
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 12: I've been in tech for twenty odd years president of Sega.

1245
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 12: I ran Xbox, so I'm used to technology, and I've

1246
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 12: watched the video game industry go from when I joined

1247
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 12: Sega dreamcast days of dial up to now relying on

1248
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 12: data every minute of every day to interact with gamers

1249
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 12: and to build the business. And so when my personal

1250
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 12: feelings one thing, but when I see data like that,

1251
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 12: particularly the way that Apple does it, which is low

1252
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 12: heart rate like that and actually shows you the data

1253
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 12: in there. Then I reacted to that, and I can't

1254
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 12: thank Apple and all the other smart watchmakers that are

1255
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 12: makings I think a little bit more kind of informed

1256
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 12: about our health. Somebody somebody said the other day, it

1257
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 12: turns the invisible into visible, and you know, and I'm

1258
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 12: blessed to have a pacemaker. As the docs fifty years ago,

1259
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 12: I would just be dead because the technology, which I

1260
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 12: find amazing, of this little device in there that's firing

1261
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 12: every you know, point eight of a second is just incredible.

1262
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 12: And the way that Abbott the company said a year ago,

1263
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 12: you wouldn't have been as well off as youah today

1264
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 12: because those are the advances bringing. You know, we can

1265
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 12: do updates, we can do firmware and what you have.

1266
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 12: And people who have a pacemaker know that you have

1267
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 12: a little device that sits by your bed that interacts

1268
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 12: with your pacemaker at nights data to their central servers

1269
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 12: and if they see anything untoward, they'll give you a call.

1270
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 12: But as they say, ninety nine percent of the time

1271
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 12: it's just there as a monitoring device. So it's interacting

1272
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 12: through I guess RFID or something like that.

1273
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: So with all of this lesson learned. What is your

1274
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: advice to others? Yeah, get yourself a smart watch.

1275
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 12: I mean the health thing is important to me now

1276
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 12: times ten, obviously, but all the other things you can

1277
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 12: do that I've learned over the last few years that

1278
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 12: I never dreamt of.

1279
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 3: You know, when I was a kid.

1280
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 12: This is kind of a George Jetson thing, right, a

1281
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 12: Maxwell smart type device. But now I think that the

1282
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 12: wearable market in particular for the value it provides not

1283
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 12: just in your daily life, but literally informing you about

1284
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 12: your health in real time. And in my instance, I

1285
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 12: think saving my life. And I wouldn't be here if

1286
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 12: it wasn't for this little device.

1287
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 2: There you go.

1288
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: What a story. What a guy, by the way, what

1289
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: an incredible person. Peter is done so many great things

1290
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: in his life. And just to have that experience of

1291
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: thinking you're going to go get a coffee and everything

1292
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: is going to be fine, and realizing that your watch

1293
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: is saying, uh uh, we're figuring something else is a

1294
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: little wrong here. So, like you said, I think that

1295
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: if you know, if you get one of these devices,

1296
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: whether it's a Fitbit, whether it's an Apple Watch, whether

1297
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: it's a Samsung watch. Definitely check the specs and see

1298
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: what it can do. What he was talking about was

1299
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: the high and low heart rate notifications. You can check

1300
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: some of your ECG stats on these things as well,

1301
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: depending on the model. There's a lot of stats that

1302
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: you can find. But don't over rely on these things

1303
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: because there are certain things they cannot do. And the

1304
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: doctor I interviewed for my story on Katla said these

1305
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: things do not predict a heart attack or can they

1306
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: sense one, So keep that in mind with there are

1307
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: limits to what these can do. But between the fall

1308
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: detection the crash detection, I mean, there really are so

1309
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: many benefits to these wearables and Peter is example of that.

1310
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: So thanks for sharing the story there. We're gonna get

1311
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,000

1324
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: There you go. We we have hit AB's nest. We

1325
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: could do an entire show on mv and o's. I

1326
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: did not realize this, but the comments keep coming in.

1327
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Ed says, if you switch from Verizon cell service to

1328
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: Verizon prepaid and Auto fifteen gigabytes is thirty five dollars

1329
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: a month, same service, half the price. Jim says, I

1330
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: like saving money, but a few reasons. I haven't switched

1331
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: to an mv and O. A few friends switched to

1332
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: Mint and they've had trouble sending SMS messages for some reason.

1333
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Their messages take hours to arrive. They don't send your

1334
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: name to people with caller ID, so you don't see

1335
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: caller ID on incoming calls either.

1336
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 2: No international roaming.

1337
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: He travels a lot, needs to receive calls and messages

1338
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world. Deprioritization. I've tried mv and o's.

1339
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: When I'm in a crowded place, I find my data

1340
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: won't flow even though I have a strong signal. For me,

1341
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,439
Speaker 1: it hasn't been worth the twenty eight dollars a month

1342
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: I would save.

1343
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 2: And then let's see.

1344
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: Glenn here wrote in and said MV and o's do

1345
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: not have the same access to cell sites. I've worked

1346
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: for two of the major carriers for over three years,

1347
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: and I can tell you the MV and o's are

1348
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: fine for normal, everyday communication, but in an emergency like earthquakes, fires,

1349
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,919
Speaker 1: or severe weather, the subscribers to the main carrier will

1350
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: have first access to a congested cell tower, just below

1351
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: police and fire.

1352
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 2: MV and o's are at the bottom of the priority.

1353
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: These are all probably valid things, yes, but again they

1354
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: are all sort of edge scenarios. So it all depends

1355
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: on what you need out of it, right. So if

1356
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, if it's a good idea to switch,

1357
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I think you have to weigh what you want for

1358
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: me personally. I have not switched because I need certain things.

1359
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: I need access to the most premium data, the most

1360
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: premium priority on the network as I am uploading and

1361
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: downloading tons of stuff on a daily basis with my jobs,

1362
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: and so for me, that is what works now. My

1363
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: secondary line, Yes, it's an envy and O. And my

1364
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: wife who literally when you look at her data usage

1365
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: is like less than two gigs a month. She does

1366
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: not need an unlimited plan ninety dollars a month. She

1367
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: does not need the extra you know, whatever it is

1368
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: that these companies offer. And she told she's been on

1369
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: a couple MV and ohs, and she's told her friends

1370
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: about it, and they don't trust her.

1371
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 2: They don't believe her. They say, well, I don't know

1372
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 2: what am I missing out on? Nothing.

1373
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: It works, Yes, there are some downsides, but it depends

1374
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: what you need. And I think that is the beauty

1375
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: of listening to a show like this and doing your

1376
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 1: research is that you understand what you're getting into, so

1377
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,439
Speaker 1: you're not surprised when you say, wait my apple watch

1378
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: Wait hold on, I can't get cellular, or wait, I've

1379
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: got to travel internationally. I don't have international So you

1380
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: have to remember all of that stuff. Let's go to

1381
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Tom in San Diego. Tom, you're on with Rich. Welcome

1382
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: to the show.

1383
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 13: Hey, Rich, I know you've touched on this a few

1384
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 13: times obviously, and you're touching on it right now again.

1385
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 13: But so I have a cabin that my parents built,

1386
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:56,439
Speaker 13: you know, fifty years ago. That's out in the middle

1387
01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 13: of Sambordino Desert. It does have electricity, it's been broken

1388
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 13: into a few times. So I'm thinking, well, I should

1389
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 13: put some cameras up or something that could tell me

1390
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 13: if something was going on. There is no ISP service

1391
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 13: out there. So I've been looking at, you know, either

1392
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 13: cellular game cameras or other things, or doing something like

1393
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 13: a MYPI with Wi Fi cameras and just trying to

1394
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 13: find a plan that isn't going to break me to have,

1395
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 13: you know, some security footage and video footage. I don't

1396
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 13: even have an idea of how much data I would

1397
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 13: need or something like that, and just wondering what your

1398
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 13: recommendations were. I know you were talking about a whole

1399
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 13: bunch of different carriers a couple of weeks ago.

1400
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I would actually I would just go with

1401
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 1: a I would just go with a cellular security camera

1402
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: in general, like skip the Wi Fi hotspot because that's

1403
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: going to be that's not going to be the most

1404
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: reliable connection for these cameras, so if it depending on

1405
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: how many need, but I would say just go with

1406
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: one that has built in cellular and there are a

1407
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: couple out there. I have personally not tested one with

1408
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: the cellular built in, but they do come from a

1409
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: couple of reputable brands. Now there are many out there.

1410
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: You can go on Amazon and probably find one for

1411
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: fifty bucks, but I probably I mean, you can try it,

1412
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: but I think if you want something that's reliable. The

1413
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: thing that separates a lot of these security cameras between

1414
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 1: the really cheap ones that you can find on Amazon

1415
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: and the companies that have made a business on security cameras,

1416
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: like the Rings of the World and you know the

1417
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: Ufe's of the World is the software that you get

1418
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: and maybe sometimes the support. So I would personally go

1419
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: with a camera that just has cellular built in and

1420
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: a couple of the brands that make a camera that

1421
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: are pretty reasonable price wise, and the brands that I

1422
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: know for cameras that people like UFI, eu f Y,

1423
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: They've got a whole bunch of cellular security cameras and

1424
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: they actually will tell you how much data. So, by

1425
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: the way, there's something else to think about here. Some

1426
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: of the cameras may want you to use their data connection, right,

1427
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: like you have to buy the data from them, which

1428
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: of course is going to be it's going to limit

1429
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: you in some ways. Some say, hey, just put a

1430
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: put a simcard in and you're good to go, as

1431
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: long as you have a network. This this UFEE says

1432
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: it's got a three and one SIM card compatible with

1433
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: AT and T, T Mobile and Verizon. It selects the

1434
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: most stable network to optimize connectivity and ensure uninterrupted viewing.

1435
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: I would also look for a camera that has a

1436
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 1: solar attachment as well, So the UFI one looks pretty good.

1437
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: This one's two hundred and fifty bucks for a four

1438
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: g LTE. There's then Real Link r EO l I

1439
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: n K. Real Link is. They're not as well known,

1440
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: but they do make decent cameras, and they have one

1441
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: that is battery and solar powered. It's got a four

1442
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: g lt E. It's two hundred and twenty dollars and

1443
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: it tells you your estimated data usage here on the website,

1444
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: so you can go on there and see how much

1445
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: data it's exped to use and it will tell you that.

1446
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: Let's see in the facts, how much data does a

1447
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: camera use? One hour of live feed and ten ADP

1448
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 1: will use about one gigabyte of data, so that's live

1449
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: feed if you're you know, if you're streaming NonStop, this

1450
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: will you'll probably want a camera that records clips to

1451
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: the cloud when something moves so that that won't use

1452
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: as much data. And then finally, the other brand is

1453
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 1: r Low a R l O. People really like the

1454
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: R Low cameras. This has Wi Fi or LTE and

1455
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 1: that camera is one hundred and ninety nine two hundred

1456
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: bucks basically, and they've got four different versions, a T

1457
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: Mobile of Verizon, a US Cellular, and a cell coom

1458
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: which I haven't heard of, but you can use that

1459
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: as well.

1460
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 3: So those are the.

1461
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 1: Brands that I would recommend taking a look at tom

1462
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: and see which one works the best, and you know,

1463
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: just depends on the features you need the price you

1464
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: want to pay. The other thing you can look at

1465
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: is a trail camera. Some of those have cellular as well,

1466
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: and those are mostly meant for far off places that

1467
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: don't have a connection. Those can also record to an

1468
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: SD card as well. Great question. Have fun out there

1469
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: in the cabin? I wish I had a cabin in

1470
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: the desert. Get away from it all right, enjoy. I

1471
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: got to take my kids to see that like a

1472
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 1: dark sky area with all the stars in the sky.

1473

1485
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: all of them today, but we'll get some of those

1486
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: comments and questions and things on the show. Let's see

1487
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: here familiarity. By the way, my mom is playing DJ

1488
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 1: this weekend for the show, so she has chosen all

1489
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: the songs we're playing. And Kim, I think call screen

1490
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: er Kim put it best. She said, your mom is

1491
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: the epitome of jack FM, just playing what we want right,

1492
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: She's just all over the place.

1493
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 2: I love it.

1494
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Familiarity. Let's see if we can say this word. So

1495
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: people are familiar with AI, but people still have concerns

1496
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: about it. This is a study from Parks Associates. Forty

1497
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: seven percent of US households say they are familiar with

1498
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: at least one AI technology. Forty percent of them are

1499
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: actually using them regularly for personal, professional, or educational purposes.

1500
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: But sixty nine percent of consumers are concerned with the

1501
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: data and privacy implications of AI. And I totally understand

1502
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: that because when you type something into AI, when you

1503
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: feed it something, you have no idea how the AI

1504
01:13:58,680 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: is using it.

1505
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: Are they trained on that?

1506
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: Are they going to take your picture that you upload

1507
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: and make it into a selfie for someone else who

1508
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 1: knows No one's reading the terms of service. But the

1509
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: bottom line, companies and individuals who do not start experimenting

1510
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: with AI risk being left behind by those that do.

1511
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: And I thought that was really interesting as kind of

1512
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: a tease for my interview later in the show with

1513
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: work expert Ken Coleman. He talks about the impact that

1514
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: AI has on the job market, we'll have on your

1515
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: job and what you can do to best prepare yourself

1516
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 1: for this new future where AI is a reality. So

1517
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: you won't want to miss that that's coming up later

1518
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: in the show, and if you want to get your

1519
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: email in for the feedback. I will be reading some

1520
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: of those later on in the show as well.

1521
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to Fabrice in Newport Beach. You're on with Rich.

1522
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 9: Hell Rich, I am on speaker.

1523
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 11: Can you hear me?

1524
01:14:58,320 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 2: I can hear you? Great?

1525
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 11: Which honey, got to talk to you. I listen to

1526
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:04,959
Speaker 11: your show.

1527
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 13: Once on Saturday. It's great. Here's the thing I love.

1528
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 13: I have actually an HP.

1529
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 11: This HP is a Core five, so it's an older one,

1530
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 11: but I love it. I love my HP because he

1531
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 11: has three function it has. It has about sixteen gigs,

1532
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,759
Speaker 11: it has the illimited key board, and it's a touch screen.

1533
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 2: I love it. Okay, glad you love it. Don't don't

1534
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 2: change a good thing.

1535
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 11: Yes, however, it's an old one.

1536
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 1: There.

1537
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 11: I was told it's a Core five, so I need

1538
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 11: to update it or maybe get.

1539
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 13: Another model.

1540
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 11: I have. Also on my toolbar, I have three browsers.

1541
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 11: I have Google Chrome, I have Firefox which is Mozilla,

1542
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 11: and I have Internet Explorer. Do I need all those

1543
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,679
Speaker 11: three browsers and what's the difference between those three?

1544
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:58,879
Speaker 2: Great question.

1545
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: Well, for Internet Explorer, you can cross off the list

1546
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: because that is no longer supported. That is that's dead,

1547
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:09,600
Speaker 1: So don't do not use Internet Explorer. It is not

1548
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form supported by Microsoft anymore.

1549
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: So you're not getting security updates. You're not getting you

1550
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: just don't want to use that. So you can easily

1551
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,679
Speaker 1: uninstall that or safely uninstall that, and don't worry about

1552
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 1: that one. Now, when it comes to the other two,

1553
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: Chrome or Firefox, you know, it really comes down to

1554
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 1: a matter of personal preference. I would say that Firefox

1555
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: is going to be more private than Chrome because Chrome

1556
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: is owned by Google and I love Chrome. That's what

1557
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: I personally use, and I think it's incredible and it's

1558
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: gotten a lot better over the years. It turned out

1559
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: to be a kind of a resource hog on computers

1560
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: for a long time, but I've gotten it to a

1561
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: place and I think Google has where it works really well.

1562
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: It has the features I need, and personally I really

1563
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: enjoy it. So it's really what you want to use.

1564
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: So Firefox, you know, if you look at this, let

1565
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: me look at their website and see how they're advertising Firefox. Yeah,

1566
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 1: they say the it's the browser that puts your privacy first.

1567
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 1: So because Firefox is open source and because Firefox is

1568
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: known kind of as a privacy company, they are going

1569
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 1: to put your privacy first with this browser. So if

1570
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: you're concerned about your privacy and you don't want Google

1571
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: to know every single thing about you as you're browsing

1572
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: the web, then maybe you want to pick Firefox as

1573
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: your preferred browser. According to their website, it says it

1574
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,919
Speaker 1: automatically blocks two thousand plus online trackers from collecting information

1575
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: about what you do online. Now, these browsers talk a

1576
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: big game with that. Personally, what I've done on Chrome

1577
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: is I have disabled third party cookies, So when I'm

1578
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: browsing the web, websites are not exchanging information about me.

1579
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: They're not allowed to because I've blocked those third party cookies.

1580
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Sounds like Firefox is probably just doing that out of

1581
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: the box by themselves. And there is actually a little

1582
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: compare browsers on here on their website, so you can

1583
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: compare the different things that Mozilla does versus Google. So

1584
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: if they're number one thing we block trackers by default,

1585
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,640
Speaker 1: let's see, and basically that's it.

1586
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 2: That's kind of their main thing.

1587
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: So I would say that you could probably get ninety

1588
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: percent of what Firefox is doing by blocking the third

1589
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: party cookies. And you can do that by going into

1590
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: your settings and going into more tools or sorry settings,

1591
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: and then let's see here, where is it privacy? Oh wow,

1592
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: they changed it's all privacy and security. Here we go

1593
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 1: privacy and security. And then it says third party cookies,

1594
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: and so you can block third party cookies and that

1595
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: should take care of a lot of that kind of

1596
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 1: information that's being exchanged about you across websites. But that

1597
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: doesn't keep Google itself from collecting all the data it

1598
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: wants about you, which of course that's what they want

1599
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:01,560
Speaker 1: to do because one of the biggest advertising networks in

1600
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: the world. So at the end of the day, Fabrice,

1601
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,879
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to what you're comfortable with personally.

1602
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with fire I'm sticking with Chrome right now.

1603
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: But Firefox is a perfectly reasonable use of a browser

1604
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: as well, so hopefully that helps. And you know, with

1605
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: that computer, you probably got some life left out of it.

1606
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, it must be kind of old if

1607
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: you've got the Internet Explorer still installed on there.

1608
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 2: But great question today. Thanks a lot.

1609
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: Question here via email from Let's See, Michelle says, hey, Rich,

1610
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm being required to download an app that has GPS

1611
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: tracking on my personal device, my iPhone for my job.

1612
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm a crossing guard and the company wants me to

1613
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: sign in remotely when I get to my post and

1614
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: when I leave. I'm very concerned about this on my

1615
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: personal device. I'm not tech savvy. Is there any way

1616
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,759
Speaker 1: tracking can still occur when the app is off? Also,

1617
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 1: when I look at the developer's description, it said something

1618
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: about having access to my data. Of course, I feel

1619
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: completely this is out of line requiring this app to

1620
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,480
Speaker 1: be on my personal phone. But I live in California.

1621
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: I could be fired at any reason at all. I'm

1622
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: thinking of getting an entirely separate phone to install the

1623
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: app on, not affiliated with my current phone. Please give

1624
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: me your thoughts advice. I want to keep my job.

1625
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: Thank you, and I really enjoy your show on KFI.

1626
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 2: Michelle.

1627
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: Michelle, the good news is you're using an iPhone and

1628
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: so I think with this app, what I would do

1629
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,759
Speaker 1: is if it sounds like something you need to check

1630
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: in with.

1631
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 2: It says you have to.

1632
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: Sign in remotely when I get to my post and

1633
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: when I leave. So there is a setting on so

1634
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 1: number one, when you set up this app, I would

1635
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: not give it access to your data, your location, at

1636
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: all times. So usually when you first open up an

1637
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,720
Speaker 1: app that wants to track your location, it says do

1638
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: you want to give your precise or exact location? And

1639
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 1: then it also says do you want to allow this

1640
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:53,759
Speaker 1: all the time or just when the app is open

1641
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: or just when you're using the app? So what I

1642
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: would say is try saying just while using the app. Now,

1643
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,759
Speaker 1: if they want to track your whereabouts twenty four to seven,

1644
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: then that's a different story. So there is a way

1645
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: around it, though it takes a little bit of work.

1646
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: But what you'd have to do is you'd have to

1647
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: take away the app's permissions every day. So I don't

1648
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,679
Speaker 1: know how many days you're working as a crossing guard,

1649
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: but basically you would have to go in. So let's

1650
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: say I'm going into an app here. If I go

1651
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: into my settings on my iPhone and then I tap

1652
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 1: an app, so for instance, all Trails is an app

1653
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: that uses my location, Okay, so if I tap in there,

1654
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: it says location. If I tap one more time, it

1655
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 1: says allow location access. Never ask next time or when

1656
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: I share while using the app or always. So what

1657
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: I would do is set this to while using the app,

1658
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: and that will enable you to open up that app,

1659
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: they will see that you are indeed in the location

1660
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: that you should be at. With the GPS, it will

1661
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 1: ping the towers and send your location. And then when

1662
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: you close out that app, it will no longer get

1663
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: your location. And then when you open it up again,

1664
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 1: it will have access to your location for you to

1665
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 1: check out of your job and to move on with life. Now,

1666
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: if you want to be super super secure and safe,

1667
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: you can once you log out of your job and

1668
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 1: you're done working for the day, you can go back

1669
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: into settings and then the app and then tap never

1670
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: or I would say ask next time or when I share,

1671
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 1: and then the next time you open the app, it'll say, hey,

1672
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 1: do you want to share your location? But it's a

1673
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a it's kind of a process, especially

1674
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: if you're doing that five days a week. I would

1675
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: ask the company and say, hey, are you tracking my

1676
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: location at all times with this app? Or is it

1677
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 1: just getting my location when I check into my job

1678
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: and when I check out of my job? Those are

1679
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: two very different things. And so I think at the

1680
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, if if the company wants to

1681
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: track you twenty four to seven, they should probably supply

1682
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: the phone that they are tracking you on, so that

1683
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: you have the ability to decide when you want to

1684
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: be tracked and when you don't want to be tracked.

1685
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is pretty common nowadays with company issued equipment.

1686
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: If you have a company issued computer, if you have

1687
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: a company issued phone, company issued car, your company is

1688
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 1: tracking you. They are seeing what you're doing, they are

1689
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: seeing where you're going, and they are totally within their

1690
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: rights to do that because it is their equipment. And

1691
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: you probably when you signed on saw a little piece

1692
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: of text that said, hey, by the way, our company,

1693
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: we can do whatever we want monitoring this system. You

1694
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: probably didn't read it, you probably didn't even see it,

1695
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: but it's somewhere there. Because these big companies, guess what,

1696
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: they employ big lawyers and so they know what they're doing,

1697
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: and they're covering their butts and you need to cover

1698
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: yours as well. Eight to eight rich one oh one

1699
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1700
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: Coming up, I'll tell you about the next state to

1701
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: adopt a digital license.

1702
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 2: You can now add to your iPhone.

1703
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: And Google's AI photo editing tools are available to everyone.

1704
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: I'll explain right here on rich on Tech Welcome back

1705
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking technology the

1710
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 1: produce the intro music segments every week. Man, everyone's making

1711
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: me and Bobo feel bad here because you know, usually

1712
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: I pick the music Bobo, but clearly my mom has uh,

1713
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:32,799
Speaker 1: she's got a knack for this, So thanks mom. Ohio

1714
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:36,839
Speaker 1: driver's licenses and IDs can now be added to Apple Wallet,

1715
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,679
Speaker 1: so you can if you live in Ohio, you can

1716
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: add your driver's license or state ID to Apple Wallet

1717
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: for use quote select businesses apps and TSA apps and

1718
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 1: TSA security checkpoints, so basically businesses. This is what's really

1719
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: cool about And I'm I know it sounds scary to

1720
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: not carry your ID, but I'm I can't wait for

1721
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 1: this to happen widely because it's one less thing I'll

1722
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: have to.

1723
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 2: Carry and it's actually more secure.

1724
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: So they put out this free age verification app for

1725
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 1: Ohio businesses. It's called Ohio Mobile ID check. So what's

1726
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 1: neat about this is that right now, when you give

1727
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: your ID to a clerk right at target or whatever,

1728
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 1: when you're buying alcohol or something, they type in your

1729
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 1: data birth right, and they see it, and they see

1730
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: all your information where you live.

1731
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 2: They can look at your entire ID.

1732
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: When you're using a digital driver's license, what you do

1733
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: is you tap, and so what happens is only the

1734
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: information that's need to verify you is exchanged, and in

1735
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 1: many cases no one sees the actual information. So just

1736
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 1: to very much simplify it, let's say that you are

1737
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,640
Speaker 1: buying booze right and it needs to say if you're

1738
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty one or not. You would tap your phone on

1739
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 1: a special reader. The reader would verify that you're twenty

1740
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 1: one because of your ID stored on your phone, and

1741
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: it would say green or red, you know, depending on

1742
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: whether you're twenty one or not. And maybe your picture

1743
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: would come up so they can verify that it is

1744
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: you on that ID. But again, the clerk or whoever's

1745
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:11,919
Speaker 1: looking at this wouldn't see all of your personal information.

1746
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: So what I like about this whole digital ID kind

1747
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,839
Speaker 1: of future is that it will be much more secure,

1748
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: So kind of cool. We're seeing a lot of this

1749
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: kind of happening, but it's not widespread just yet, only

1750
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: five states do this. Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, and Georgia are

1751
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,719
Speaker 1: the five states that actually take these digital driver's licenses

1752
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:36,839
Speaker 1: or allow you to add them to your Apple Wallet.

1753
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 1: Some cases it's Google Wallet as well. In California we

1754
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 1: have which is kind of ironic, the you know, the

1755
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: tech capital of the world. Basically we still don't have this,

1756
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: but we do have a digital California has like a

1757
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: weird DM like they basically made their own app that

1758
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: I tried, I downloaded, I got my license digital, but

1759
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 1: it's like it's only accepted in a few places and

1760
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: it's not part of Apple Wallet or Samsung or Google.

1761
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: So I think the idea here is that this should

1762
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:10,679
Speaker 1: be universal and all phones should have that. Google Photos

1763
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: AI photo editing tools are coming to all phones already

1764
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: popped up on my iPhone with all of these different features.

1765
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: So you get Magic Eraser, Magic Editor, Photo Unblur, portrait light.

1766
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 1: They are all available to all users without a subscription

1767
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 1: and if you have an old photo. I just did

1768
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: this yesterday to test it out. The photo unblur feature

1769
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 1: is just magical. So I had an old picture of

1770
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 1: my kid. He was completely blurry. I put it into

1771
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: photo unblur and you could not believe it. They really

1772
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 1: just use AI to make it look clear. So again

1773
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 1: this is for Android and iOS devices. So if you

1774
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,640
Speaker 1: want to try out Google Photos AI features, all you

1775
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 1: have to do is download Google Photos to your device.

1776
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: And of course, again this is all to get you

1777
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: to use Google Photos, right, I mean, that's the whole

1778
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: point here is to get you to use that. So

1779
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: I do want to get to Jerry. I've got just

1780
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 1: two minutes, So Jerry, welcome to the show.

1781
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 3: You're on with Rich.

1782
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 9: All right, thank you. So my question is my grandson

1783
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:20,559
Speaker 9: uses a continuous glucose monitor and he's sends that signal

1784
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 9: to his iPhone and so his parents could monitor his

1785
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 9: blood sugar. The phone he uses is it looks to

1786
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 9: me be pretty big. It is an iPhone. I don't

1787
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 9: know what the model it is, and since he's ten

1788
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 9: years old, he does a lot of sports and he

1789
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 9: has to keep that phone basically very close.

1790
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: So you're looking for something that's that's similar but not

1791
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: the phone.

1792
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, either either another phone with a smaller format or

1793
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 9: some of their device.

1794
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 2: Well here's the deal.

1795
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 1: So this is sort of this is sort of an

1796
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 1: area where things are progressing quickly, but right now it

1797
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: is still a little bit old school, but the phone

1798
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: is still probably the best way. They just approved the

1799
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 1: dex Com G seven to connect directly to the Apple Watch.

1800
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which monitor your grandson is using, but

1801
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: it would require that Dexcom G seven. But it's the

1802
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: first time you're able to pair that directly with a wearable,

1803
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:31,599
Speaker 1: so I do think that that probably would be a

1804
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 1: better way to go if he's using the dex Com

1805
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: G seven. Otherwise, the only thing I could recommend is

1806
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 1: with the phone, maybe a smaller iPhone if he does

1807
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,800
Speaker 1: have to have that nearby at all times, maybe look

1808
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 1: for an iPhone Mini from a couple of years ago

1809
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: that is much much smaller. Apple doesn't make him anymore,

1810
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:54,520
Speaker 1: but you can find him on the third party marketplace,

1811
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:57,639
Speaker 1: so that would be our recommendation, either the Apple Watch

1812
01:29:57,760 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 1: or the Mini.

1813
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,120
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Jerry.

1814
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,719
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech Rich DeMuro here hanging

1815
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. The website for the show

1816
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 1: richon Tech dot TV. We're gonna do the feedback segment

1817
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: in just a moment, so if you want to get

1818
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: your comments in, go to the website.

1819
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 2: And hit contact and perhaps I will read them on

1820
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 2: the show.

1821
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 1: Joining me now is Ken Coleman, bestselling author, speaker, and

1822
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 1: host of The Ken Coleman Show. Ken likes to help

1823
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 1: people discover their true calling and turn their dream jobs

1824
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: into reality. We talked about the impact of AI on

1825
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: the job market and the changing landscape of work. Ken

1826
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:40,760
Speaker 1: shares his expert advice on navigating these new challenges and

1827
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 1: embracing new opportunities thanks to AI. First, I wanted to

1828
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: know where we stand with the job market.

1829
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 3: Where does it stand? The great resignation is over.

1830
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 14: Companies aren't hiring us quickly and as a result, people

1831
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 14: are staying put. I think we're in this general let's

1832
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 14: wait and see, and we have a very very topsy

1833
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:05,240
Speaker 14: turvy election season that we're going through as well. So

1834
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 14: I think weight hold is the response of companies, and

1835
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 14: I think employees are a little bit reticent to jump

1836
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 14: out and go to something new or look for something new.

1837
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 3: What's been the impact of AI?

1838
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 1: Have we seen an impact on jobs immediately or is

1839
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 1: it still happening?

1840
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 3: Not yet.

1841
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 14: What we're seeing is the impact of the coming storm,

1842
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:27,599
Speaker 14: and people are paying attention to it. It is a

1843
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:30,599
Speaker 14: scary proposition for a lot of people. The headlines are

1844
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,679
Speaker 14: saying things like AI is going to eliminate your job.

1845
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 14: And so what we're seeing is AI being adopted in

1846
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 14: the workplace.

1847
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 3: Chat GPT comes on the.

1848
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:45,799
Speaker 14: Scene, Lawyers are using it, of course, writers, content people,

1849
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 14: and so we're beginning to see the adoption of it.

1850
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 14: But are we seeing wholescale changes Not yet, but those

1851
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:52,719
Speaker 14: are coming.

1852
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 3: And to that in I think you're going to see.

1853
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 2: A lot of.

1854
01:31:56,680 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 14: Let's just call it, administrative working that can be handled

1855
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,679
Speaker 14: through a checklist at AI handles. I think those jobs

1856
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 14: are in trouble. But what we need to understand is

1857
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 14: that AI is just another man made technology, just like

1858
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:13,559
Speaker 14: the Internet, cell phones that I can go on and

1859
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 14: on and on that have spun off jobs. So I

1860
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 14: don't see it as this big scary job eater. I

1861
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:21,680
Speaker 14: think it's going to be a job creator.

1862
01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:23,719
Speaker 3: Before we get to the jobs it's going to create.

1863
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 1: Tell me about those jobs you think are going to

1864
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:27,639
Speaker 1: be most impacted by AI.

1865
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 14: People that are in content heavy jobs, again, a lot

1866
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 14: of administrative paperwork. I think those jobs will be impacted

1867
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 14: for the better, in other words, more customer focused work.

1868
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 3: But again, as I just.

1869
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 14: Said, I think you're going to see a lot of

1870
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:49,600
Speaker 14: administrative receptionist, secretarial type jobs, support jobs that are more administrative.

1871
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,439
Speaker 14: Those jobs could be really affected. And then I think

1872
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 14: on the front line of the service industry, I think

1873
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 14: you're going to see in New York. For instance, I've

1874
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 14: seen a McDonald's in New York just recently, or I

1875
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 14: walk by it and we're talking just a couple of

1876
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 14: blocks from Times Square, and I didn't see one human

1877
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 14: in there other than a customer. Now, someone was cooking

1878
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,439
Speaker 14: in the back, but everything else that front of house,

1879
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 14: point of service was all AI.

1880
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 3: And so those jobs.

1881
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 14: Will be impacted as well, because that's where we're seeing

1882
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 14: the biggest crunch with the minimum wage. We haven't had

1883
01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 14: a legal change, a national change, but there's been this pressure.

1884
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 14: As you remember during the pandemic, I target Walmart to

1885
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 14: raise wages.

1886
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 3: Well, guess what happens.

1887
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 14: You want to lower the cost of a burger king combo, Well,

1888
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 14: what do you have to do? You have to lower

1889
01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:36,680
Speaker 14: your cost to make the combo. So I think you're

1890
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 14: going to see small businesses and restaurants move to AI

1891
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 14: to help with that human cost.

1892
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 3: On the point of service.

1893
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 2: You're always going to need humans to do certain things?

1894
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 3: What do you think humans are still good for?

1895
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:49,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, I love that you asked this question, because

1896
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 14: I think AI is going to put a premium on

1897
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:56,439
Speaker 14: the face to face, the voice to voice, the eyeball

1898
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 14: to eyeball. I think it's going to usher in I

1899
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 14: believe a new level of service, and I think it's

1900
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 14: going to accentuate our humanness because once machines and machine

1901
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 14: interaction becomes commonplace, we will appreciate the convenience of it,

1902
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 14: but we will absolutely crave.

1903
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 3: The human element. And so I think it's going to

1904
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 3: take customer service to the next level.

1905
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 14: I think the companies and the workers who figure out

1906
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:25,479
Speaker 14: how to be adept and use AI to make your

1907
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 14: job more proficient, to make your results results more excellent,

1908
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:30,559
Speaker 14: I think they're.

1909
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 3: Going to win.

1910
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 14: But I think companies that say, all right, we're going

1911
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 14: to use machines to be better at service, but it's

1912
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 14: going to allow us to be more personal. I think

1913
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 14: you're going to see those kinds of reactions in the marketplace.

1914
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 3: Everybody says we can.

1915
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 14: Do more of that, my pleasure, unbelievable customer service because

1916
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:51,800
Speaker 14: you can be more human in the interaction and let

1917
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 14: machines do a lot of the execution.

1918
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 1: What does the average person need to know about AI

1919
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 1: and learning those skills to themselves.

1920
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 14: A great question. First of all, what's available for you

1921
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:04,880
Speaker 14: and your role? So let's take you and I. We're

1922
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 14: in the media space, so we need to immediately go, Okay,

1923
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 14: how can I use AI in my role to be

1924
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 14: excellent and be efficient? So you start looking at all

1925
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 14: the different AI tools and they're sprouting up all over

1926
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:22,519
Speaker 14: the place. So see what's available and what's applicable to

1927
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 14: your actual roles. So you know, if you again you're

1928
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 14: a lawyer, you know what can be done here on

1929
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 14: the stuff I have to do that's paperwork focused, and

1930
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 14: can I enhance through AI my ability to get that

1931
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,760
Speaker 14: done so I can be more carrying, more present with

1932
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 14: my clients and take my human service up the next level.

1933
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 14: So whatever the industry you're in, you need to be

1934
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 14: researching and by the way, the answers are out there.

1935
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 3: Here's how you can use.

1936
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 14: AI in your role and get skilled, get skilled and

1937
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,760
Speaker 14: get experienced. Because I don't think AI is going to

1938
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 14: replace your job. I think someone who uses AI better

1939
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 14: than you will replace you. I think that's our challenge.

1940
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 14: You go, Okay, am I skilled? Am I experienced? And

1941
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:07,480
Speaker 14: it's just like any other technology.

1942
01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 1: Imagine right now, not knowing how to use a computer, Yeah,

1943
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:12,160
Speaker 1: same thing or typing.

1944
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 3: I mean back in the day it was typing. Now

1945
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,599
Speaker 3: nobody learns how to type. But still yeah, but there

1946
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 3: are skills that you it.

1947
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: Basically back in the day, you'd put your skills on

1948
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 1: your resume, right, whether you're good at word, whether you're

1949
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 1: good at spreadsheets. And now it's the same thing with aiact.

1950
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 3: I love the spreadsheet example. You know, can you use Excel?

1951
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 3: And what's excel?

1952
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 1: And we all had to learn how to use it?

1953
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:33,799
Speaker 1: And I think that wasn't that Excel replaced your job?

1954
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 1: They replace you with someone that knows how to use Excel.

1955
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 14: That's what I think has to be the warning flag

1956
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 14: about AI. Don't be so scared of it that you

1957
01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 14: stick your head in the sand, because if that happens,

1958
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:46,719
Speaker 14: you will get passed up and you will get replaced.

1959
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 1: How do you make sure you're not breaking any rules

1960
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 1: that your employer may have when it comes to using AI?

1961
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 14: And I think again, you're just gonna have to look

1962
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 14: at what your company policies are, what do you feel

1963
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:59,479
Speaker 14: is right in here? But interesting that you asked this question.

1964
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 14: There is a job that is about to become I

1965
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 14: think commonplace. Now this is a prediction, sure, but I

1966
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:09,680
Speaker 14: think you're gonna see AI ethicists something like that. That

1967
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 14: may not be the title, but there will be people

1968
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 14: who humans like you and I whose job will be

1969
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 14: to make sure that AI isn't being used the wrong way,

1970
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 14: or that AI itself doesn't do something that's wrong.

1971
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 3: That's a whole new and I think you're gonna see

1972
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 3: that everywhere, you know, AI watchdogs.

1973
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:28,879
Speaker 1: What are some of the side effects of AI beyond

1974
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: the standard jobs.

1975
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 14: I think AI is going to change the workplace. I

1976
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 14: see less and less forty hour weeks. I think we're

1977
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 14: gonna see a explosion of what is already happening right now,

1978
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 14: which is the freelance economy, you know, and and so

1979
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:45,559
Speaker 14: I think you're gonna see.

1980
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 3: More and more of that.

1981
01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:49,559
Speaker 14: And I think specialization will happen because it's gonna make

1982
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 14: it so much easier. So I think keep your eye

1983
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 14: out for that, an explosion of entrepreneurship, especially because you

1984
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,439
Speaker 14: got gen z. I'm raising three of them, and the

1985
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 14: younger willennials they're very tech savvy, and I think they're

1986
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:06,760
Speaker 14: very entrepreneurial hungry is how I would label them, So

1987
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:09,360
Speaker 14: watch out for that. I think we can see an explosion.

1988
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 3: Because of AI.

1989
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 1: That's Ken Coleman, author, work expert, and host of The

1990
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:15,760
Speaker 1: Ken Coleman Show. I think the bottom line is that

1991
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:18,960
Speaker 1: AI will forever change the way we work, just like

1992
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 1: the Internet itself did. But the key takeaway embrace AI

1993
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 1: as a tool to enhance your skills. Focus on what

1994
01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:30,759
Speaker 1: makes you uniquely human, and continue to develop your skills.

1995
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: Like Ken said, it's probably not AI that's going to

1996
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 1: replace you, but someone who knows.

1997
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 2: How to use AI better than you.

1998
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,120
Speaker 1: I'll put a link to Ken on my website at

1999
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 1: rich on Tech dot tv. Mor rich on Tech, come

Speaker 1: your way with the feedback right after this. Welcome back

2001

Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you,

2002
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:55,799
Speaker 1: talking technology the website for the show richon Tech dot TV.

2003
01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to get through a few items here before

2004
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 1: we get to the feed bag. This AI powered necklace

2005
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 1: called Friend got quite the buzz this week. It's a

2006
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:11,840
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars pendant necklace that you wear all day long.

2007
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 1: It listens to everything that's happening around you, and it

2008
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 1: texts you when it wants to say something to you,

2009
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:21,080
Speaker 1: so it's kind of always listening and it's AI powered

2010
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 1: and the person who created it, a nineteen year old.

2011
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 1: Our twenty one year old said it's because he was

2012
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,960
Speaker 1: lonely and he doesn't want people to be lonely. Ninety

2013
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:31,640
Speaker 1: nine bucks and you got to watch the video on this.

2014
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 1: If you go to the website Friend Believe it's friend

2015
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:38,360
Speaker 1: dot com and it looks like something out of Black Mirror.

2016
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 3: It's not a joke.

2017
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:39,719
Speaker 2: It's real.

2018
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 1: This idea of AI companionship will happen. But it's like

2019
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:45,799
Speaker 1: if you're playing a video game or watching a movie,

2020
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 1: this thing is listening or having a conversation with your

2021
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,600
Speaker 1: friend and it will literally text you and be like

2022
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:53,640
Speaker 1: that was awkward or whatever. It's pretty wild and you

2023
01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: can talk to it by pressing a button on it.

2024
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, Black Mirror is coming true.

2025
01:39:58,360 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 7: Now.

2026
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: Two other devices that were AI companion kind of powered things,

2027
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 1: the Humane and the Rabbit they have they flopped, So

2028
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:07,599
Speaker 1: we'll see if this does any better. It's a lot

2029
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: cheaper for ninety nine bucks. I mean, I'll try it out.

2045
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 1: every day at Richontech dot tv hit contact. David was

2046
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,680
Speaker 1: listening to the show and said, very interesting listening to

2047
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 1: Peter today. In August last year, I was home watching TV,

2048
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:15,479
Speaker 1: not doing anything stressful. I got an alert on my

2049
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,360
Speaker 1: Apple Watch saying my heart rate was unusually high one

2050
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,600
Speaker 1: eighty eight. I had no physical symptoms. I went to

2051
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:25,600
Speaker 1: the er. They confirmed the watches reading. A cardiologist treated me.

2052
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for the alert, I would have carried

2053
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 1: on watching TV, and according to the cardiologist, I probably

2054
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:33,760
Speaker 1: would have had a stroke at some point. I'm a

2055
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:36,000
Speaker 1: watch guy, but now I keep my classic time pieces

2056
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,160
Speaker 1: in a box and I wear my Apple Watch all

2057
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: the time.

2058
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:41,799
Speaker 2: Wow, that's quite the story. Thanks for sharing it, David.

2059
01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:46,599
Speaker 1: Let's see Joe says, Hey, Rich, I was wondering how

2060
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:49,600
Speaker 1: long I should keep my empty electronic boxes because I

2061
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 1: just bought a ring outdoor camera and now I have

2062
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 1: an empty box.

2063
01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:55,280
Speaker 2: Should I keep it? And for how long? No real

2064
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 2: need to keep it.

2065
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: The only three reasons I keep something is if I'm

2066
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 1: going to return it. So if you think you're going

2067
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 1: to return this, I would keep it for at least

2068
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:04,320
Speaker 1: the return window. If you're going to resell it, like

2069
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:05,759
Speaker 1: if you're ever going to put this thing on eBay

2070
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 1: or something like that, you want to keep the original box,

2071
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 1: you can do that. Or if you're going to ship

2072
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 1: it to someone later, So maybe, for instance, with my computers,

2073
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 1: if I give an old computer to a family member.

2074
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:18,720
Speaker 1: When I get a new one, I will ship them

2075
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 1: that old computer. And I like to have the original box,

2076
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 1: but otherwise you can safely recycle those boxes. Good question,

2077
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 1: Anita writes in says, wow, kind of disappointing. How you

2078
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:32,679
Speaker 1: didn't respond to my question. Anita, you know how many

2079
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 1: emails I get on a daily basis. If you had

2080
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 1: any idea you would you could not believe it. And yes,

2081
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 1: I do my best to respond to a lot, even

2082
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 1: off air. I try to respond to a lot here,

2083
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: but believe me, there's no way I can get to

2084
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 1: everyone's email that emails me. I do my best and

2085
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 1: I will try. But yeah, thanks for that. Mary says, hey, Rich,

2086
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a portable battery pack that can accommodate USB,

2087
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:01,800
Speaker 1: a plug, air compressor, jumper case. My German shepherd and

2088
01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 1: I will be traveling in my van from California.

2089
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 2: I live in a van down by the river.

2090
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 4: Do you know that.

2091
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:14,600
Speaker 1: Reference old Chris Farley reference from California, Ohio. I'll be

2092
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:17,400
Speaker 1: living in the van during our trip. I want to

2093
01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:19,600
Speaker 1: plug in a regular house fan at night. Oh, you

2094
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,719
Speaker 1: just want this thing to do everything. Mary, the battery

2095
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:24,559
Speaker 1: pack should be able to keep it charge for two days.

2096
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:28,560
Speaker 1: Any suggestions, thanks in advance. Yes, check out Jackery jack

2097
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: e r Y. What you want is called a portable

2098
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 1: power station. Every company in the world makes these. Jackery

2099
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:37,280
Speaker 1: was one of the earliest. They're some of the best.

2100
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: They also make them with solar panels as well. But yeah,

2101
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: Jackery jack E r Y. There are many many brands,

2102
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 1: including Anchor and many others eco Flow that make these,

2103
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: But I like the Jackery. I just met with them

2104
01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:53,719
Speaker 1: recently and they've got some good stuff and at cheaper

2105
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: prices too. John from Appleton, I'm guessing that's Wisconsin Rights in.

2106
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 1: I volunteer at our local useum. We're considering replacing our

2107
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 1: five dollars entry fee with a free will donation system. However,

2108
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:09,880
Speaker 1: we're noticing young visitors don't often carry cash. Is there

2109
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 1: a quick secure method for accepting digital payments? Maybe a

2110
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:16,799
Speaker 1: QR code? Any security concerns? Can you recommend any companies?

2111
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: Should we work with a local bank, we'd like to

2112
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 1: minimize our fees, I would recommend a PayPal or a

2113
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:26,600
Speaker 1: Venmo QR code or both. So I believe with the

2114
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:28,800
Speaker 1: PayPal QR code you could set that up where you

2115
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:32,200
Speaker 1: can just say, hey, scan this code and it will

2116
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 1: take you to a PayPal web website on their phone

2117
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:38,479
Speaker 1: and they can just do the donation there. You can

2118
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 1: set the suggested as five bucks Venmo. I believe you

2119
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:45,840
Speaker 1: would need to have the Venmo app for that to work.

2120
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they have like a website where you

2121
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 1: can do that through, but I would check out those two.

2122
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:53,679
Speaker 1: I think that's the easiest way to do it. Square

2123
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 1: might also have it. You might also check out Square

2124
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 1: and see if they have it. I know you can

2125
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:02,439
Speaker 1: also you Square to tap phones to accept so that

2126
01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 1: might actually you know what that might actually hold on

2127
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 1: tap to pay, tap phone to accept payment. I think Square,

2128
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 1: ooh if you do that. Yeah, you might just do

2129
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,840
Speaker 1: that where you have they can actually you just have

2130
01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 1: an iPhone set up there they can tap their phone

2131
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 1: for mobile payment. But I think the QR code might

2132
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:24,160
Speaker 1: be easier. It's kind of going to depend because not

2133
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:26,799
Speaker 1: everyone is set up for mobile payments. Not everyone's comfortable

2134
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 1: doing that, but I think people who aren't, you know,

2135
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 1: if they're a young person whatever, they probably have Venmo

2136
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 1: on their phone.

2137
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 2: A lot of people do these days.

2138
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:36,439
Speaker 1: But I would look for a solution that does not

2139
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:38,639
Speaker 1: require any sort of like sign up for the person.

2140
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: They can just literally scan the code, use their Apple

2141
01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:45,320
Speaker 1: pay or Google pay to make the payment, and yeah,

2142
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:49,679
Speaker 1: you'll be golden there. Harry from Eden, North Carolina writes

2143
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:52,920
Speaker 1: in I've encountered a troubling scam on Facebook. I've reported

2144
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 1: to the FCC. Scammers posing as agents are offering fake

2145
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: federal grants of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The

2146
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,680
Speaker 1: catch you have to buy six hundred dollars worth of

2147
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:03,759
Speaker 1: gift cards and give them the code numbers to claim

2148
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:06,519
Speaker 1: your winnings. They're friending people out of the blue and

2149
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 1: sending links to initiate the scam. I provided as much

2150
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: as I could to the authorities, but I'm wondering who

2151
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,080
Speaker 1: can really put a stop to this. Seems like they

2152
01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:16,640
Speaker 1: might be hacking Facebook. How can we protect ourselves and

2153
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 1: others from these increasingly sophisticated social media scams? Harry, thank

2154
01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:24,640
Speaker 1: you so much for being a good guy out there

2155
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:28,760
Speaker 1: on the internet, but it is impossible so many scams.

2156
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:31,559
Speaker 1: The best way to protect people is to tell your friends,

2157
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 1: especially your less tech savvy friends. That is the main thing.

2158
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 1: Because we understand it there's a lot of people out

2159
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 1: there who do not so share the spread the word.

2160
